this piece articulates some really important insights, but I have issues with the core frame presented in this paragraph

By the time the war began, "Al safety" and "alignment" and "hallucination" and "stochastic parrots" had become the terms of every argument about artificial intelligence, structuring and limiting what we could even say.
Worse, "artificial intelligence" itself had come to be synonymous with LLMs.
When the school was bombed, those were the terms people reached for, despite the fact that this critical apparatus offered a poor fit for the older, more mature stack of technologies involved in targeting. The real question, the question almost nobody was asking, is not about Claude or any language model. It is a bureaucratic question about what happened to the kill chain, and the answer is Palantir.

Similarly: others like @jowalton.bsky.social have noticed the evidence underpinning 'AI for climate' claims can be oddly weak, regardless of what type of AI is being used - eg, this article that ended up being retracted for using misleading references theconversation.com/will-ai-save...

Optimistic advocates for AI say this environmentally costly technology will become more sustainable with time. We can use AI more efficiently, and explore less energy-intensive designs inspired by the human brain. We can build data centres more sustainably, using wood or low-carbon concrete and steel. The heat from the data centres can warm homes in the local area.

Of course, if we start using AI systems too widely (including where we don’t really need them), the growth might outweigh any of these potential gains in efficiency. But recently, I’ve been hearing another argument: that AI itself is tackling climate change. AI can help to model wildfires, optimise energy consumption to stabilise the grid, accelerate the development of low-carbon materials, and much more.

OKAY BIG ONE FOR YA NEW report out today: I dig deep into how big tech has been muddling tech types and overstating evidence to claim "AI" will make global emissions drop like a stone.... Not only will it not, it seems to be verifiably doing the opposite!! ketanjoshi.co/2026/02/17/b... + 📼+🧵>

"It doesn’t especially matter how the carbon impact of AI relates to the carbon impact of buying a hamburger or watching some television It matters how it relates to the amount of carbon in the atmosphere, and our options for getting to net zero rapidly, safely, and justly" @jolwalton.bsky.social
