New comment by seeminglee in "'Lavender': The AI machine directing Israel's bombing in Gaza"

I don’t want to talk about the war — mostly, I don’t know about the history enough to discuss it. But I want to talk about the use of technology with the intention to exterminate life. AI shows great promises to humanity, but can also extinguish it if misused.

Thousands of years ago, gunpowder was invented. This technology enabled humans to finally break through mountains and build tunnels. It enabled the beautiful display of fireworks. But the misuse of this technology ultimately leads to destructions of cultures and civilizations.

This latest development with AI as implemented in Lavender — is one that’s exceptionally dangerous. This latest misuse of technology should concern all.

We must not allow the proliferation of this brilliant technology to be used for the purpose of destruction. It concerns me greatly.

I hope that we could resolve conflicts and differences in ways that are civil.
