Articolo molto interessante sull'industrializzazione della guerra (o meglio, della morte) e sul ruolo delle tecnologie in questo processo. <https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/26/ai-got-the-blame-for-the-iran-s...> Questo passaggio illumina l'ideologia che sta dietro alla /killchain/ come anche ai licenziamenti di Amazon trattati nel precedente messaggio di Juan Carlos, e ne evidenzia la logica prettamente industriale mirante al controllo e alla eliminazione di ogni conoscenza tacita e non codificata: In 1984, the historian David Noble showed that when the US military and American manufacturers automated their factory floors, they consistently chose systems that were slower and more expensive but which moved decision-making away from workers and into management. The point was not efficiency – it was frequently extremely wasteful – but control. A worker who understands what they are doing can exercise judgment the institution cannot govern. Move that understanding into the system, and the worker has nothing left to do but follow instructions. Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir, describes exactly this achievement in his 2025 book, The Technological Republic. “Software is now at the helm,” he writes, with hardware “serving as the means by which the recommendations of AI are implemented in the world.” His model for what this should look like comes from nature: bee swarms and the murmurations of starlings. “There is no mediation of the information captured by the scouts once they return to the hive,” Karp writes. The starlings need no permission from above, they require “no weekly reports to middle management, no presentations to more senior leaders, no meetings or conference calls to prepare for other meetings”. This sounds liberating, even utopian. But the signal that passes without mediation is also the signal that nobody can question. Karp thinks he is destroying bureaucracy. He is encoding it. The contempt for meetings and weekly reports and presentations to senior leaders; he treats these as the bureaucratic process itself. They are not. They were where people interpreted procedure, the place where someone could notice when categories no longer fit the case. The targeting doctrine is still there. They are columns on a workflow board now, stages a target passes through on its way to being struck. What Karp eliminated was the discretion the institution could never admit it depended on. What remains is a bureaucracy that can execute its rules but with no one left to interpret them. Bureaucracy encoded in software does not bend. It shatters. Ciao, Alberto
