u programmed this with claude?

@aparrish you’re still missing the point here about tools vs services, about means of production. and I get the feeling you’re just trying to be contrarian for its own sake
@aesthr i'm not trying to be contrarian for its own sake. this line of reasoning is very important in my own justification for rejecting AI tools. i strongly agree with your original reply in the thread. all i'm trying to get at is that many of the same critiques we have about how llms have politics and shape the way we write and the horizons of expression *also* apply to other writing tools, even non-computational ones. and we can learn valuable lessons from the criticisms of those other tools

@aparrish i never said that tools in general don’t have politics embedded in them. Yet you went on an unsolicited lecture about it instead of engaging with what I was originally talking about.
It’s arrogant and condescending. Now leave me the fuck alone

Why assume the human giving the order or the intelligence agency running the AI to select targets *didn't* want to bomb a school?
Obviously it's still a war crime even if they say it was based on faulty or outdated intel. Anyone can *say* that. Equally obviously, a calculation has been made about whether you get away with war crimes these days.
I hate that it's so, but the simplest and most likely explanation for atrocity is always intent.

@aesthr oh no! i'm very sorry—i should had dropped it earlier. i had genuinely believed that i was engaging with what you were saying (and supporting/agreeing with it!) but i understand that it didn't come off that way. i'll do better in the future!

@aparrish eh, you were fine. This guy was just being a douche.
I'd double-down and say that all tools shape behavior. Some more than others. Some better than others.

@jacqueline Claude's actually the one who refused to do that, unless I'm missing something? ChatGPT is the school-bomber.
@kinosian @jacqueline Anthropic got the headline they wanted for “refusing” but they are in use for target selection and planning via Palantir. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/mar/01/claude-anthropic-iran-strikes-us-military

@jacqueline imh this is the same as saying "You are using the same pen as they did sign the Nuremberg laws with". People are accountable for these atrocities, AIs are just another (problematic) tool enabling bad people to do bad things more efficiently. Don't forget who is truly responsible here.
You're probably paying for the tool, or at least contributing to the so-called valuation of the company providing it, hence providing the company with resources to provide child killing services elsewhere.

@ottumm @jacqueline Sorry to hear that, but thank you for letting me know!

@vyllenjamnin while I get your point, I think AIs (and of course people/companies behind them) are not as simple a tool as a pen. So I tend not to agree with your analogy in this case.

u programmed this with claude? the ai platform for bombing schools?
@jacqueline that sure got some rancid replies

@s0 @jacqueline endless blockfodder

@jacqueline I don't think they used Claude for that, more like ChatGPT and not checking the phone book.
@allanb @jacqueline turns out it was literally Claude for target selection

@vyllenjamnin @jacqueline Bad analogy. A pen isn't pushing anyone to do war crimes.

@jacqueline nice try to dodge responsibility.
U elect a president which bombs schools and blame a computer instead.
Are you also blaming optics for shooting in the schools? whitewashing the murderers and even their weapons.@ruff I'm going to take a wild guess here and say that @jacqueline did not vote for Trump.

@jacqueline You know, they frame stuff this poorly so I'll do it too.
As a treat.

@s0 @jacqueline It's the very nature of any "AI" discussion. Somebody makes a clear, concise criticism of the technology and then the apologists and "I wrote my dissertation with chat gippity" simps pile on.

@unionwhore @aparrish it was unintentional. I apologize.
I didn't see any preferred pronuns on their profile.

@j3rn @jacqueline oh ok, that's totally changing everything. So let's blame the computer, yea, show him. make computer dumb again!
