Red Hat has since removed their war crime-supporting "Compress the kill cycle" marketing page from their website but left other references up, e.g. https://www.redhat.com/rhdc/managed-files/ve-compress-the-kill-cycle-detail-693397pr-202402-en_3.pdf (also saved on IA now)
A really good summary of what compressing the kill cycle means in practical terms was recently published in The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/26/ai-got-the-blame-for-the-iran-school-bombing-the-truth-is-far-more-worrying

@legoktm I'm really surprised that no-one has referenced Colossus - The Forbin Project. Made in 1970 it seems remarkably forward-thinking. Come to think of it, a lot of Sci-Fi from that era is becoming reality... https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064177
