Justifying AI-Targeting

*A fictional AI employee, well-versed in Hyperpsychology, tries to explain AI warfare, unaware that just saying the truth about it isn’t acceptable.*

So, it all started in 2010 you see. I couldn’t help but to notice that being a white man made you outside of American discourse. Thus, to be an inside player, you have to do reactionary politics, you see? No one wants to be an outsider, or rather, enough people aren’t willing to be outsiders, isn’t that what progress is about, minorities not wanting to be outsiders? Why wouldn’t white people also not want to be outsiders?

Also, in the 2000s, do you remember the Daily Show where people did impressions of Bush supporters? Basically, the impression had vitality to it to a point where people started to mix-up what was a strawman and what was a real conservative position. So now, to be an insider which is to say a reactionary, you have to take seriously increasingly idiotic ideas.

So, which is worse, being deselected due to race or believing in stupid ideas in order to feel like an insider? Ok, you might be wondering how this relates to AI-targeting, hear me out.

AI is all about convenience, less work. When minority groups want a white man to think from another person’s perspective, that is more work, you see? It’s not personal, it is technological convenience.

I hope you feel better now. It’s not about racism, it’s about convenience. Well, it is kind of about racism if racism is convenient.

The thing about the school being bombed as well, that data was over a decade out of date, but the target choice was brand new out of the AI-selection machine.

So imagine you have all these targets, and they are already selected and ready to go, are you really going to go into the field and consult with a spy (Iran had been killing the spies after all) to make sure the data is right?

No, you gotta ballpark it. Also speaking of ballparks, we have tickets to the baseball game later, do you realize how long it would take to double check the targets?

So yeah, increasingly basic ideas are insider positions, convenience rules all, and new tech, you have to use new tech!
