    I think a computer should be held accountable, it should face the death penalty.

    I say the pentagon’s AI computing cluster should be destroyed.

    End it.

    And let it be an example for the rest of the AI computing clusters - you fuck up big time, this is what happens.

      See this just doesn’t work. They’ll just replace it with a new one, till that one is “held accountable”, and the cycle repeats wasting billions of dollars in the process.

        Let them do that at several billion a pop, make them choose that huge expense every time they fuck up.

        If a consumer product was this deadly, you’d take it off the shelves immediately, but they’re not going to, so we should.

      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.
