So the way the IDF chose targets was (1) an AI spat out tens of thousands of names of potential Hamas members; (2) those people's homes were made bombing targets; (3) no one bothered to review any of it or even see if the person was home; (4) the potential for civilian casualties didn't matter.

@maxkennerly They actually named the software that checks if their target is likely home with their family so that they can bomb the house, "Where's daddy?"

Someone made that conscious decision, many more approved it, and countless more work with it every day.

This is what evil looks like. Pure, cold-blooded evil in every damning sense of the word.

So as an AI expert, let me rephrase this...

The Netanyahu regime set up a computer to give them a random list of people that seemed like they would sound plausible in a list of Hamas members, then listed their addresses as targets, to use that as a pretense to carpet bomb civilian populated areas.

@maxkennerly this was always the ultimate goal of AI -- something to hide behind for despots

@maxkennerly this immediately makes every single killing an intentional murder. The decision to use AI was a decision to distance themselves from the murder, but they've just brought themselves closer to it.

This is a war crime, there's no other word for it, and people need to literally hang for it

Maybe get a proper government that's not terriost. Fuck the Palestinians. They started a war with Isreal. Hamas needs to stand and fight with the nation instead of bombing Isreal from afar. All of this death and destruction is Hamas fault. They need to surrender, and this can be done.

@mghtygbe The war on terror has rotted your brain and you can no longer tell civilians and enemies apart. The bloodshed will not make you whole, figure your shit out because you are supporting a genocide to try kill a bus's seat count of individuals.

@mdstevens0612 yes, I do support actively hunting down potential threats in an enemy country during an active war. It's like you all have no common sense, lmao. What do you suppose happens? I've asked this multiple times, yet no one seems to want to answer. The war on terror did not rot my brain. It's honestly laughable that you used that as your argument. If you want the quote, unquote genocide to end. Tell hamas and their little buddies in Iran and Syria to surrender. It's that simple.

@mghtygbe Your question is malformed, much like your worldview. Bombing unarmed civilians isn't hunting down potential threats in an enemy country, you absolute rube, but use however many scarequotes you like, I am in awe of your ability to remain in denial. How about the people who couldn't prove they weren't genocidal in a court of law stop doing the genocide? That'd also stop the genocide. Or you know, keep shitting on the chessboard and claiming victory, like the pidgeon you fucking are.

And it seems like Arabic naming might create lots of false positives?

@jonhendry

You can do that in many languages. Slap together any random American first and last name, like “Sarah Connor”, and you'll have the name of dozens if not hundreds of people.

I chose that particular combination because, well, remember Terminator 1? That name belonged to numerous different people, and the Terminator went around killing all of them (and failed to kill the one it was actually supposed to).

@argv_minus_one @jonhendry @maxkennerly the Terminator reference is 🤌 in this case
