[Russia used an AI drone to kill civilians] (www.msn.com/en-gb/news/other/…/ar-AA2aTP1H)
It didn’t kill them because it attacked them, it killed them because it crashed into a wall and exploded.
Russian operators reportedly programmed the drone to fly toward a gas station, where its onboard system selected a target, most likely propane tanks. Before reaching them, however, the drone crashed into a wall and exploded, killing all three civilians.
Somehow this is worthy of a Terminator comment

Ah, it was an Anduril drone, then?

So wait, are they saying it mistargeted or that after selecting a “valid” target it failed at the guidance itself? Because the latter would be a legitimately impressive fuckup given that both sides in that war have been using automated terminal guidance systems for a while now to get around EW defenses.
