   This seem fishy to anyone else? We don’t know anything about the design of this AI system. It seems like it wouldn’t have been able to come up with these strategies unless it was more or less coaxed.

     Extremely fishy. Smells like this story has gone through a long game of telephone, through several layers of military and then journalism, every layer with a vested interest in telling a certain story.

     @inthehands @misc possibly more than one (sometimes contradictory) story, depending on who's taking their turn in their telephone chain
