Comment Wrong Goal (Score 1) 93

If the goal is to rapidly increase revenue then get more intelligent execs that set better goals. The goals should be to get things done faster and with higher quality, that is unlikely to grow revenue rapidly - especially when everyone else is also using AI. The real promise of AI is lower cost in the long term, and higher quality. But you're not going to make more revenue from that higher quality because everyone is using AI, it's just the ante to keep playing in the game.

Comment Re:Why the nukes were illegal (Score 1) 130

"'The nuclear bombs, since they were known to be killing civilians going about civilian business, were contrary to both the Hauge and Geneva conventions."

I don't know what the standard was then, but that's damned sure not the standard today. The standard today is will possible civilian casualties outweigh the military benefits. It's often an eye of the beholder sort of thing. Given the estimates of dead and wounded of invading Japan and that they rightfully believed that dropping the bombs could end the war, certainly seems legal by today's standards.
