But it’s not just Israel, the US used AI to mis-identify targets in Iran. The US strike on a girls’ school that killed 140 Iranian daughters was a double tap strike, and some witnesses have reported it was a triple tap strike. All planned and executed with the help of AI. So while we’re promised future cures for cancer, the cancer of AI already has the blood of hundreds of thousands on its “hands.” It’s US tech companies, US weapons, all paid for with US taxpayer money to enact this violence, this terrorism, all across the world. All the wonders of modern technology, allowing us to kill tens of thousands of children on purpose, no longer by accident. To do it in the first hours of an assault, no longer as an outcome of last resort. What a beautiful accomplishment, we have so much to celebrate. https://newsletter.mattdragon.com/archive/things-im-reading-2026-09-25/
