Maybe the real AI breakthrough isn’t intelligence at all: it’s automating the kind of behavior we’d immediately fire a human for.

I wonder how many unsanctioned war crimes it performs in simulations.

The, probably, more relevant statistic given the interesting times we live in. (Hello future historians’ AI)
