<p>My question is:<p>How far does the AI system go… is it behind the AI decision to starve the population of Gaza?<p>And if it is behind the strategy of starvation as a tool of war, is it also behind the decision to kill the aid workers who are trying to feed the starving?<p>How far does the AI system go?<p>Also, can an AI commit a war crime? Is it any defence to say, “The computer did it!” Or “I was just following AI’s orders!”<p>There’s so much about this death machine AI I would like to know.</p>

<p>I would like to know if the AI is deciding to starve the entire population and kill aid workers?<p>It’s a serious question, because the article mentions how AI plays such a crucial role… but where does it end?<p>I know the following question sounds absurd, but they say there’s no such thing as a silly question…<p>Does the AI use regular power to run, or does it run on the tears and blood of combatant 3 year old children - I mean terrorists?</p>

<p>It’s the most important thing going on in the world. And geeks shouldn’t be thought of as people who will sit and think how cool the death machine AI that Israel has developed which chooses how and when 30K children die… geeks make this tech, profitise from it, and lurk about HN and when it comes to facing the reality of their creations they want to close the conversation down, flag comments, and evade the hurty real world reality of it. Sad. And pathetic. I’m not saying you are personally.</p>

<p>IDF flag everything. You just need to watch the live comments on any YT video about what they are doing in Gaza to see they have a mommoth operation going on of silencing everything and putting up lots of Anti Muslim vile.</p>

<p>When you look at the map of Gaza, it looks like the AI must have told them to bomb every single house that was still standing.</p>

<p>No, what doesn’t make sense is you.<p>The guy made it obvious he was struggling. He needed somebody to take it over and someone came to his ‘rescue’… and he trusted every single change they brought.<p>Why am I saying that you don’t make sense? …because you haven’t even suggested a single resolution. You attack me even though I’m saying it how it is.<p>Now how about making use of your reply and suggesting something more useful? Because the status quo is actually what led to this, people just ignoring the issue and leaving the guy to his devices when his heart clearly isn’t in it.<p>Can I remind everyone that the entire world was nearly hacked?</p>

<p>Yes, that is kind of the point. The internet is full of bullies and that isn’t going to change - his heart wasn’t in it and he had bad judgement. He was played, I get it, but I know a tonne of professions where you’d be out the door if you messed up on that scale.</p>

<p>They don’t apply to me, so I am not trying to work around them.<p>If something is going to be too difficult to work around, and it’s a total requirement, then I suppose I will be forced to go with the flow if it means that I will starve or have no bed to sleep in.</p>
