Probably the latter. Almost nothing that sucked today sucked less 20, 40, 60, 80 etc… years ago. They almost universally sucked more. We’re just more aware.

For example, cops have always been beating black people; but that wasn’t common knowledge for most until recently.

Ahh fair enough. Hope you have a great day.

Not just for a sociopath. Anti-air is expensive (table with some options. A patriot cost like $3M/pop. If a missile was going to hit an uninhabited area choosing not to intercept makes sense.

That’s why DARPA keeps working on DEWs.

It’s a reasonable question to ask.

Maybe the home of Wall Street, the world’s largest market, isn’t Communist.

Yes we killed en-mass back then.

The primary feature of LLM’s is the hallucination.

LLM’s hallucinate all the time. The hallucination is the feature. Depending on how you design the neural network you can get an AI that doesn’t hallucinate. LLM’s have to do that, because they’re mimicking human speech patterns and predicting one of my possible responses.

A model that tries to predict locations of people likely wouldn’t work like that.

I would fully disagree. We targeted civilians, not in war zones at functions like weddings, funerals and other explicitly civilian gatherings. We (the US) had the intent to kill civilians, and our tolerances for civilian casualties were an order of magnitude larger than what the IDF is using.

If anything it’s not comparable because what we did was worse.

I mean, it probably has a neural network component.

This AI isn’t a LLM.

This is almost certainly true. That’s truthfully the only way to track humans en-mass.

What do you mean? There’s a whole generation of Yemeni children afraid of Sunny days because those are the days that people die. I’m a place that gets 300+ days of sunshine a year.

We we’re much worse.

Oh absolutely. Israel’s popularity has taken a hit in the US (Down to 58%, source but the Palestinian Authority’s support is down to 18% (same source).

And when you look at specifically questions around Israel & Hamas’ handling and justification for conflict it’s no-contest (source. Nobody thinks Hamas’ actions were justifiable. That pew poll is pretty nuanced and lays it out pretty well. Most of Palestinians support is primarily focused on the human cost of the war; which the US is seen to be mitigating with it’s air drops and the port we’re building.

It’s not really surprising either. The older you are the more you’ve experienced Hamas/PA tactics and PR and the less susceptible you are to it. And Hamas is getting fairly good coverage here. There’s rarely a news article pointing out that US citizens are still being held hostage, for example.

Gaza isn’t large. You could legitimately destroy 90% of standing structures with 10-20k tomahawk-esque missiles. You could like do the same thing with 5-10x the number of artillery shells.

Because it’s wildly unpopular here. The attacks on 10/7 have convinced more people who would normally be supporters if Gaza/Hamas to not be. And the persistent polling that shows supermajority support amongst Palestinians, plus the continued ransom (and likely perpetual rape) of hostages, combine with the consistent pledge of “we love it and we’ll do it again”, and the fact that Americans are still being held hostage; Palestinians should be glad the US hasn’t entered the conflict ourselves.

according to who lmao

It’s called proof of life. It’s a common thing in hostage taking; because dead hostage aren’t worth as much as live ones.

From earlier today.

“From the River to the Sea”

Hamas vocally disagrees with this.
