So if someone kills someone else with a gun then you want to punish the gun rather than the person who held it? Computers, like guns, are tools. AI is a tool. A shitty tool, but still just a tool. If you use a tool to kill someone, then you are the killer, not the tool.

    That single gun didn't kill hundreds of children, this computing cluster did.

    Look, we can also prosecute people responsible, absolutely. But at the very least, the pentagon's AI program should be dismantled.

    Some tools shouldn't exist.

    Stop shifting blame off of humans. You're playing into their hands.

    A human typed shit into an LLM, that LLM spat back garbage, that human took that answer and decided to launch a missile based on that response.

    A human made the decision. A human pushed the button.

    The computer didn't do shit, humans fired those missiles and humans argued with the ai until it told them what they wanted to hear.

    This is on trump and hegseth they wanted to kill those children and we know they dont give a fuck about killing children because they do so regularly in their global child sex trafficking ring.
