Terrorist adoption of AI has thus advanced further and more systematically than prior analysis has recognized
salafi extremists that declared western education sinful are now world-leading AI-first village-burning-as-a-service jihadist startup. okay whatever
It has aided in attack planning, weapons troubleshooting, and the design of explosive devices, as users have successfully circumvented some safeguards.
surely their contacts within ISIS or any number of other islamic militias couldn’t have taught them that previously, no they have to rely on movie plot ideas from chatbots. it probably helps that some people heard about them but peak years of their activity were in 2014-20 before ISWAP eaten their support base whole by not raiding villages and trying to replace state instead

no no seventeen more of our guys jumped into the flaming pit after the first one, yep
but the NYT printed the scary version of the tale and they wouldn’t make shit up right

that’s ableism, and as always with ableism, entirely unwarranted.
That was a wild paper. It was very worrying how close they put it to god.
To be fair, it put several of them close to god first
Note: I don’t believe any of this happened
