Can anyone ELI5 how they're using AI for genocide? I have awful IT skills so I don't understand AI
Here's her words on it
In long.
In short:
Additional informations: Project Nimbus
When families were present??? That's indefensible. It's not just the children in the home, it's all the neighbours kids, visitors and passers by. It's inhumane.
That is seriously dystopian. Wow, what the fuck..
Google and Amazon are mentioned in the Wikipedia article but not Microsoft.
Not defending them, just asking for better evidence.
Microsoft isn't mentioned in the text, but the 3rd citation is a reference to Microsoft: Microsoft to Launch Much Awaited Cloud Server Farm in Israel in 2021
Separately, I did a quick search: Revealed: Microsoft deepened ties with Israeli military to provide tech support during Gaza war
Thanks. Not doubting, but it's good to have detailed sources.
this is comedically evil I don't even know what to say
Holy fuck!
That's fucking awful!
From the article:
From my understanding, they use AI to automate the processing of text, audio, and video data collected by the intelligence services.

Stop believing in the veneer of smartness and superiority around these genocidal fuckers.
There is no NON ELI5 explanation here of how they're using AI for genocide, because the truth is horrible, stupid and brutal.
They are using AI because it is the best tool bullshitters have currently to offload blame for things they, individual human beings, chose to do onto obscure abstract entities like corporations, AI decisions and other bullshit.
There is nothing more to it than that, I promise you, it is all just layers of bullshit that is attempting to obscure culpability for participating in a genocide, and honestly it is the perfect technology for that.
AI is being pushed into war machines big time. America and China are both working on it. With ukraine showing how incredibly effective drones are in warfare, just imagine the damage and destruction a swarm of drones controlled by an AI could cause.
Hey, I’ve seen that episode of Black Mirror!
Its scary and awful

This 2023 article didn’t age well.
The critics were right
Fucking hell that's bad
There are also many higher education professors doing smart drones. I was in one conference and they were showing off drones flying by themselves and showed the difference between different weather and everything.
