This is not a heartwarming story. It is actually a glimpse into a modern dystopia.

🚨 We independently confirmed what actually happened.

Last week, unlicensed street celebrations broke out near a temple in East Ham, sandwiched between two mosques, with drinking and fireworks in breach of Newham's borough-wide PSPO on public drinking.

Mosque and temple leaders had met the week before. Temple leadership said they had nothing to do with the impromptu gathering.

Cllr Mehmood Mirza, alongside other councillors, was out that evening helping council officers de-escalate and move people on, enforcing the PSPO like everyone else.

This PSPO has applied across the whole borough since 2022, under the Anti-Social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014. Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Hounslow and Havering all have the same order. It applies to everyone, of any faith or none.

Nothing to do with Sharia law. A community working together to calm a situation, clipped and recaptioned to manufacture outrage.

I find it insane that any MP, with their £100k salary, the most generous "expenses" system in the country and a subsidised bar in their place if work, has the gall to pass judgement on how other people "spend taxpayer money".

Baroness Benefits here is a millionaire on ~£144k a year, but taxpayers cover her rent, energy, water bills, internet everything! She even tried to pay for her holiday flights with public cash. Yet she wants to cut benefits for sick and disabled people living on £7k–£11k a year.

Bloomberg just dropped the most disturbing investigation I have read this year, and every AI builder should read it and take it seriously.

On February 28, two Tomahawk missiles hit an elementary school in Minab, a small town in southern Iran. 156 people died. At least 123 were children. The Pentagon knew within hours that it had bombed a school.

The school had its own website. It was labeled on Google Maps. You could see the soccer pitch from a satellite view. You could see the brightly painted walls. Any 12-year-old with a browser could tell what the building was.

The AI system could not.

Inside US Central Command, personnel were using Palantir's Maven Smart System. It is an AI targeting platform running on a $1.3 billion Pentagon contract, and embedded inside it is Anthropic's Claude.

On day one of the war, more than 1,000 targets went through it in 24 hours. Work that used to take a team hours per target got compressed into minutes.

The satellite imagery Maven was pulling from was seven years old. The site was still tagged in the database as an Islamic Revolutionary Guard facility.

The system spat it out as a recommended day-one target. Humans signed off. The first missile flew. Then a second one landed minutes later to hit the people who came to help.

Investigators later found that some Central Command staff had assumed Maven would flag stale intelligence for them. It did not. Nobody had told it to.

Palantir told Bloomberg the government is responsible for the underlying data. The Pentagon's civilian harm mitigation team, the people whose actual job is to catch a target like this, had been cut back before the war started.

This is not AI going rogue. This is the opposite.

This is AI doing exactly what it was built to do at exactly the speed it was built to do it. And a school full of little girls got vaporized because the humans in the loop trusted the machine more than they trusted their own eyes.

I keep thinking about the version of this story that comes next. What happens when the system is faster. When the target list is not 1,000 in a day but 10,000. When "review" becomes a button the operator has three seconds to hit before the next target loads. When there is no human left slow enough to notice that a soccer pitch is not a helipad.

We are not talking about a spam filter mislabeling an email. We are talking about a system that turned a seven-year-old database entry into two cruise missiles landing on children in the middle of a morning class.

A UN-backed panel has now called it a potential war crime.

In terms of children killed, it is the deadliest American targeting error of the entire 21st century. And according to Bloomberg, some of Defense Secretary Hegseth's own advisors are worried that too much public scrutiny of Maven might slow down its adoption inside the Pentagon.

Read that last line again.

If you build this stuff, you own what it does. You do not get to hide behind "the government owns the data." The whole pitch of your product is that speed and integration save lives. When it takes them instead, that is also on you.

I am not against AI in defense. I am against AI in a hurry. Speed is the entire mechanism that made Minab possible. Every guardrail we already know how to build takes time, and time is exactly what the system was designed to eliminate.

So here is the question I have not been able to stop asking, and I genuinely want to know what you think.

If a piece of software helped kill 123 children in a single morning while behaving exactly as designed, what does "responsible AI" even mean anymore?

Russia is bombarding the U.K. information space with lies and misinformation. And Nigel wants it to carry on because it helps him. Like it helped them ten years again during the referendum. About time government took it seriously. Farage and his AfD pals in Germany have done enough for Russia already. His close pal Nathan Gill is paying a high price, wallowing in jail. Time for the rest of us to call it out.
