“AI will make the world a better place”

Well I’m still waiting for 1 breakthrough in medicine, meanwhile yeah of course, military. I wonder if the IDF is making pull requests with the extensive experience gained by Lavender.

This world sucks

Yep they should keep fining him exponentially till he leaves (he obviously will never fall in line with EU rules)

Agree with the first part, but news ought to still quote tweets while it exists, otherwise they cannot denounce many of the wrong things going on in there. I quote the Guardian’s email I received this week (even if I prefer quoting to embedding, as tweets get deleted, and embeds brings traffic to the site):

Dear reader, Yesterday we announced that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X (formerly Twitter). We think that the benefits of being on X are now outweighed by the negatives and that resources could be better used promoting our content elsewhere. This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform. The US presidential election campaign served only to underline what we have considered for a long time: that X is a toxic media platform and that its owner, Elon Musk, has been able to use its influence to shape political discourse. X users will still be able to share our articles, and the nature of live news reporting means we will still occasionally embed content from X within our article pages. Our reporters will also be able to carry on using the site for newsgathering purposes, just as they use other social networks in which we don’t officially engage. Social media can be an important tool for news organisations and help us to reach new audiences but, at this point, X now plays a diminished role in promoting our work. Our journalism is available and open to all on our website and we would prefer people to come to theguardian.com and support our work there. You can also enjoy our journalism on the Guardian app and discover new pieces via our brilliant set of regular newsletters. Thankfully, we can do this because our business model doesn’t rely on viral content tailored to the whims of the social media giants’ algorithms – instead we’re funded directly by our readers.

You skipped that apple again.

It’s either lupus or sarkoidosis

You mean besides coke and underage girls?

I don’t know if serious or burn

Because that’s what the establishment would label it

Macron in France has been elected pretending to be this third party candidate, effectively defeating the two traditional parties (left and right) but it didn’t stop the shift to the right. If anything he paved the way to the far right to win the next cycle. One of his promises was to fight the far right and make it disappear, but in the snap elections this summer he ultimately preferred to govern with the far right’s blessing, even if the left bloc got the most seats. He simply didn’t want a social agenda at all costs.

Bottom line is capitalism ultimately leads to this shift, because redistributing wealth (the obvious solution that even a kid can understand) will never happen.

Kudos to trying to find logic in the most unlikely places

I first though it was AI but you can’t fake that shit

Modi’s ahead of Trump on many many things. Mulsims are not yet lynched by mobs in the US

Vilification no more though

Are you asking on behalf of a friend?

Yep. Cause they sell per volume, not weight

Yeah right “precautions”

“In war, we don’t have time to incriminate every target. So we’re prepared to take the margin of error of using AI, risking collateral damage and civilian deaths (…) and live with it,”

The army also decided during the first weeks of the war that, for every junior Hamas operative that Lavender marked, it was permissible to kill up to 15 or 20 civilians; in the past, the military did not authorize any “collateral damage” during assassinations of low-ranking militants.

When it came to targeting alleged junior militants marked by Lavender, the army preferred to only use unguided missiles, commonly known as “dumb” bombs (in contrast to “smart” precision bombs), which can destroy entire buildings on top of their occupants and cause significant casualties. “You don’t want to waste expensive bombs on unimportant people — it’s very expensive for the country and there’s a shortage [of those bombs],”

Respect your parents

Holy shit. The level of delusion itself is so scary.

“Yeah but women and girls will give birth to terrorists, and boys will become terrorists. These are just preemptive-preemptive strikes… Historians may call this genocide but we disagree semantically”. - Israeli government probably
