Summary
Last February, a Tomahawk cruise missile struck an Iranian elementary school, killing more than 150 people, most of them children. A professor at Dartmouth College, Farid is also co-founder of GetReal Security, a cyber security firm. And they had to reason about the physical plausibility of that missile striking the ground. But he also had certain aspects that he could study scientifically, involving the speed of sound, the speed of light, and the size of the missile: "And those three things were enough for us to say that this is physically plausible," he said. But that's the world they live in: Reality itself, so perfectly mimicked by artificial intelligence, that even reality is suspect.
