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.

It reminds me of how apparently firing squad executions used to have only some of the guns loaded with live guns, and the rest with blanks. This way, the executioners could do some moral gymnastics to convince themselves that they hadn't just killed a person
