âthe type was legible through the black strikeoutsâ
Well, then thatâs a mistake they wonât make again. Is there a reason to disclose this exploit so the government can fix it?
Can the Army create a chatbot that exposes their problem with prosecuting rapists, so female recruits can get an honest look at what theyâre signing up for?
Wow. They must have come a long way since ELIZA.
Good question. Iâm not sure how to answer that. Please try rewording your question. I understand simple questions best.
Army Dumb
An honest look at what theyâre signing up for, huh? I think itâd be hard to create a chatbot that adequately expresses what itâs like to murder foreign people for vague political reasons.
I suppose it could always send them links to patriotic snuff films? Nothing like watching the light go out of someoneâs eyes as they twitch and shudder in a growing pool of their own blood, clutching pointlessly at the gaping hole you put through their chest in order to pay for college.
INTERNAL MEMO: user 8080256256 knows too much.
Thatâs a good point sir. Conduct your business as usual.
Time to watch âComputer Chessâ again.
NAILED it.
Forgive my poor brain if Iâm just missing sarcasm, but my first thought on reading the article was âI canât believe this has happened againâ. There have been so many cases of documents with âremovedâ information which is actualy still accessible that youâd think it would go out of fashion - and yet the news stories keep on comingâŚ
Of course their recruiting tools are easy access, efficient, and high tech â
Meanwhile, veterans dealing with the V.A. have paper based files, backlogged phone lines, and waiting lists.
Such fâd up priorities our decision makers have. Itâs despicable.
True, this is hardly the first time something like that has happened. But still, why remind them?
Occasionally, people with actual consciences turn up in these information streams. So such leakage may be only air-quotedly accidental. In which case itâll keep happening despite reminders of procedure error, in ever more inventive ways.
what you call âaccidental leakâ i call âplausible denyabilityâ ⌠just sayin.
YOU:Â Â So, how old are you?
ELIZA: What if I were ?
SWAT: Get down! Get down! Get down!
CorrectionâŚ
SWAT: Shoot the dog! Shoot the dog! Shoot the dog!
Remember Dr. Sbaitso on Creative Sound Blaster sound cards? 
I spent years working in blank Intelligence areas and part of that time was teaching agents that the only safe way to redact was to put the black stuff in, print it, check it then scan the printouts back in as PDFâs. You got a good electronic format, a searchable body and stuff that wasnât supposed to be there damn well wasnât.
I see not enough people listened.
Now that I am out of this stuff, I see it as a good thing that very unthinking people still do this stuff and donât even check it but it annoys the hell out of me professionally. .
I do! OMG, I do! (shoots self)
