    She doubled down on video, showing no fear of consequences. Hero is unquestionably the right word.

      I fear that we have little time before they become self-sufficient enough on an island like Zuck and don’t need us bickering at each other or outputing wealth for them. Back to the cavemen times where the guys on top control the masses through brute force. This time AI-powered brute force. With advancements in robotics and multimodal AI, what stops Zuck or Musk from training their own army of robots (both humanoid and otherwise) and instruct them to detain or destroy people? They have the means and the data.

      IMO since they can't even seem to wipe their own asses without us the rich will never be self sufficient or self sustaining on their own.

        Imagine: an AI-powered ass wiper for the rich but it goes ballistic in the middle of it all and starts smearing shit all over the rich boomer who thought and AI-powered ass wiper was a good idea.

        Jokes aside, I want to note there are many of the rich we don’t see clowning in the media like Müsk.

          So it's okay to kill children, because they might be Hamas? Do you hear yourself?

            Yes, and journalism soilders, UN shelter soilders, and the humanitarian aid workers from World Central Kitchen from U.S., U.K., and Australia, believe it or not, also hamas soldiers.

            The UN palestine workers (or at least some) were proven to be associated to hamas.

            For the rest I need sources.

              I would try to write up well-worded arguments backed up with valid sources, but…

              I’d like to kindly remind you to piss off with your hypocrisy

              If you want argument you’ll get an argument; if not, then go back to your echo chamber (It’s located right next to the chamber pot from which you enjoy your daily feed)

              P.S. My sincerest apologies for the verbosity of the directions, but you seem to need it since you lack any

                lol your other comment also just says "i wont engage". you say the conversation is emotional but your replies have nothing but grandstanding. ive heard a lot of crazy unsubstantiated claims around Israel-Palestine, but the idea that accusations of innocents being murdered is hamas propaganda is possibly the craziest. what channels are the propagandists going through? whose support does hamas have to disseminate this propaganda? are we done with russian bots now we're onto saudi bots?

                Hamas literally rely on people from other countries to support their terrorism and prevent israel from acting. Hamas themselves are too weak to win this. All the sad social media posts and shit - all intentional, all manipulative. Why don't you go to palestine and bring justice yourself instead of complaining on the internet?

                All the while they're themselves engaging in a genocide on israelis. Read up on that. Hundreds of experts around the planet agree on that.

                Why should israel play fair when hamas doesn't? Hamas hides in hospitals, undeniably.

                  The odd shitty thing? Israel's been attacking innocent civilians for well over a year now. Hamas is shitty, but there is nothing that warrrants the level of destruction Isreal's done to Gaza.

                    It’s crazy how democracy is now implicitly democracy incorporated(TM) where individuals are silenced for expressing opinions about corporations. Vital institutions for a functioning democracy like media is now owned by big corporations, worse yet, in an increasingly monopolized way, blurring the lines between unelected corporations and elected government (who are also bought by corporations after or before they are elected)

                      In long.

                      In short:

                      The AI system labeled tens of thousands of Gazans, mostly men, as suspected militants, with a 10% error rate, meaning thousands were likely civilians.

                      Human officers spent ~20 seconds per target, often just confirming gender, before approving airstrikes.

                      "Where’s Daddy?": A companion AI tracked targets to their homes, prioritizing bombings at night when families were present.

                      The military authorized 15–20 civilian deaths per low-ranking militant and 100+ for senior Hamas officials

                      Strikes frequently used unguided munitions, maximizing destruction and civilian harm

                      Officers admitted acting as "stamps" for AI decisions, with one calling the process "hunting at large"

                        AI is being pushed into war machines big time. America and China are both working on it. With ukraine showing how incredibly effective drones are in warfare, just imagine the damage and destruction a swarm of drones controlled by an AI could cause.

                          For "threatening violence" which apparently was due to a comment I made where I said I wouldn't piss on a Tesla fire if Musk's mom was inside.

                          I got temp banned today because I replied to someone and said that using ivermectin would probably kill them.

                          I’m done, so fucking done.

                            I am temp banned for saying I hope a covid denier gets covid multiple times and is intubated each time to experience the panic of possibly never waking up again. I incited violence. I just hope they got to experience the trauma that I've seen working at a hospital. It might be real to them then.

                                    Google and Amazon are mentioned in the Wikipedia article but not Microsoft.

                                    Not defending them, just asking for better evidence.

                                      Most Reddit subs block comments or ban you outright if you mention Palestine or Israel. Reddit has taken censorship too far.

                                        A Microsoft employee disrupted the company’s 50th anniversary event to protest its use of AI.

                                        “Shame on you,” said Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. “You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all.”

                                        Sources at Microsoft tell The Verge that shortly after Aboussad was ushered out of Microsoft’s event, she sent an email to a number of email distribution lists that contain hundreds or thousands of Microsoft employees. Here is Aboussad’s email in full:

                                        It takes massive courage to give up a cozy job at Microsoft and potentially damage your entire career to stand up for your values this way. Props to her!

                                          You're sure she didn't delete it herself due to the attention she was probably getting?
