Report: Terrorists Followed AI Advice on Ditch Jumping, Causing Heavy Casualties
teortaxesTex · x · 2026-07-11
A report on AI-enabled terrorism mentions that an IS-WAP commander, facing defensive ditches, consulted AI on how to mimic motorcycle stunts from movies to cross them.
As a result, 18 people died while attempting to jump over unnecessary lethal practice pits. However, skeptics argue that based on the physics of motorcycle jumps, the probability of injury far exceeds death, suggesting the reported 'casualty' data may have been exaggerated by investigators.
