    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.
