US strike that killed 175 at Iranian girls’ school reportedly planned using outdated AI
Whiskey Pete Hegseth's awesome LLM clearly missed the briefing where it would have learned "we don't target children."
Reports suggest the U.S. strike that leveled a girls’ school in Minab, Iran, and reportedly killed as many as 175 students, was planned using an AI system running on outdated intelligence. Investigators are now trying to figure out how a school ended up on the target list while Donald Trump and Whiskey Pete insist the United States never targets civilians and claim Iran did it to themselves.
This Week in Worcester spoke with a Department of Justice appointee on the condition of anonymity, citing an ongoing and active investigation. “The immediate theory is that the AI program included the school’s position based on older, archived intelligence. The logic behind the launch, and the mechanics of who authorized it is unclear.”
This Week in Worcester spoke with a logistics programmer in the Department of Defense (DOD), who said that the department rapidly scaled up its use of a Claude-based system over the past year, integrating it with many core operational decisions.
“They are gung-ho about this program, and want to use it for everything. Most of their operational planning is done using this software, although there is some things we have designed in-house,” said the appointee.

At least the AI doesn’t have to feel guilty for targeting children
