The Last Human Decision (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While you were sleeping, a machine reviewed names for seconds and approved one. A program followed a father home and the strike found his family. The kill chain runs at machine speed now. Conscience cannot. Speed is not judgment. Prediction is not command. The machine may advise, but only a human can answer to the dead. This essay is about the gap: who dies in it, and who must stand in it.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ep1m!,f_auto,q_au
