  • In long.

    In short:

    The AI system labeled tens of thousands of Gazans, mostly men, as suspected militants, with a 10% error rate, meaning thousands were likely civilians.

    Human officers spent ~20 seconds per target, often just confirming gender, before approving airstrikes.

    “Where’s Daddy?”: A companion AI tracked targets to their homes, prioritizing bombings at night when families were present.

    The military authorized 15–20 civilian deaths per low-ranking militant and 100+ for senior Hamas officials

    Strikes frequently used unguided munitions, maximizing destruction and civilian harm

    Officers admitted acting as “stamps” for AI decisions, with one calling the process “hunting at large”

  • Just wanted to add this related piece: "The Greenlandic organization behind the national dog sled race, Avannaata Qimussersua, has received significant financial support from the U.S. Consulate in Nuuk, according to board chairman Mikkel Jeremiassen.

    While Jeremiassen did not disclose the exact amount due to the terms of the agreement, he described it as “large” and emphasized that the deal was “non-political.”

    However, Sermitsiaq reports that after securing the grant, volunteer patron Doris Jakobsen Jensen was informed that American politicians should be invited to attend the event as a result of the funding."
