    Unironically this is a perfect example of why AI is being used to choose targets to murder in the Palestinian Genocide or in cases like DOGE attacking the functioning of the U.S. government, also US healthcare company claims of denial or collusion of landlord software to raise rent.

    The economic function of AI is to abdicate responsibility for your actions so you can make a bit more money while hurting people, and until the public becomes crystal clear on that we are under a wild amount of danger.

    Just substitute in for Elon the vague idea of a company that will become a legal and ethical escape goat for brutal choices by individual humans.

        Lol well, Escape Goat 1 & 2 were just too damn good at being tough as nails indie platformers and now the word is hopelessly Escape Goat not Scapegoat in my head I am afraid.

      Which is honestly just the end game of a practice that’s been getting worse for decades. It’s partly why stuff was outsourced. The more layers between us and the atrocities, the less humanity can focus on reacting to them.

      There’s been a concerted effort to introduce as many possible layers as they can to divide people and break up communities in order to break humans ability to empathize (and then use that empathy to affect change).
