AI got the blame for the Iran school bombing. The truth is far more worrying Highlight

Carl von Clausewitz, the 19th-century Prussian general whose writings remain the foundation of western military thought, had a word for everything the optimisation leaves out. He called it “friction”, the accumulation of uncertainty, error and contradiction that ensures no operation goes as planned. But friction is also where judgment forms. Clausewitz observed that most intelligence is false, that reports contradict each other. The commander who has worked through this learns to see the way an eye adjusts to darkness, not by getting better light but by staying long enough to use what light there is. This “staying” is what takes time. Compress the time and the friction does not disappear. You just stop noticing it.
