    The Nvidia compute module shown in the wreckage photos are older versions of what can be bought now as modules or mini computer developer kits from the website

    On the one hand, I'm sure that "A.I. killed 3 humans" really pushes peoples buttons, and maximizes the NYT's metrics.

    OTOH, a bit of perspective might be useful. Compared to historical large-scale European land wars since the relative "perfection" of modern artillery (c. 1900), the civilian casualties we're seeing in modern Ukraine are - while still horrific - quite low by comparison. The Feb'45 air raids on Dresden killed >20,000 civilians in 3 days.

    Bluntly put: "A.I." really ain't the problem, and even a magically perfect A.I. ban would not meaningfully reduce the horrors of war.
