Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) - The Israeli air force bombed a refugee tent camp west of Rafah City around 8:45 …
I think I liked AI better when it was telling me to eat rocks and glue.
The Israelis are tracking Hamas militants through the day but wait to strike at them when they come home at night, ensuring that their wives, children, relatives and friends are also killed. The AI program is set up to allow 15 to 20 noncombatant, civilian deaths for every member of the paramilitary Qassam Brigades killed in the attack. The eight missiles that struck the camp killed 2 Hamas operatives and left others 45 dead, mostly burned up in their flammable tents, the majority women and children.
What the fuck?
Also, pushing this on to the AI hides those responsible.
Way back in the 1970s I had to appeal decisions made by government agencies. A common starting point was to shrug and say "that's what the computer says" as if there were no humans setting parameters.
In this case, AI is doing just one thing: whatever the humans decide is appropriate.
