Pretty great video. I might quibble on terminology here and there, but all in all this a good breakdown without being insulting and has great advice at the end.
The terrible human toll in Gaza has many causes.
A chilling investigation by +972 highlights efficiency:
An engineer: “When a 3-year-old girl is killed in a home in Gaza, it’s because someone in the army decided it wasn’t a big deal for her to be killed.”
An AI outputs "100 targets a day". Like a factory with murder delivery:
"According to the investigation, another reason for the large number of targets, and the extensive harm to civilian life in Gaza, is the widespread use of a system called “Habsora” (“The Gospel”), which is largely built on artificial intelligence and can “generate” targets almost automatically at a rate that far exceeds what was previously possible. This AI system, as described by a former intelligence officer, essentially facilitates a “mass assassination factory.”"
"The third is “power targets,” which includes high-rises and residential towers in the heart of cities, and public buildings such as universities, banks, and government offices."
"The unit is engaged in the same kind of AI work that the world’s biggest tech companies, like Google, Facebook and China’s Baidu are doing in a race to apply machine learning to such functions as self-driving cars, analysis of salespeople’s telephone pitches and cybersecurity — or to fight Israel’s next war more intelligently."
“I’ve always loved algorithms. I was already involved with them in high school and worked in the field. When I [was] drafted I wanted to combine the technology with a combat,” Maj. Sefi Cohen, 34, recalls.
The unit’s only female member left recently. so for the moment it’s an all-male team. Cohen says: “Everyone who’s here is the tops.”
Oh, Lord. Morning Joe has Scott Galloway on to "embrace masculinity." Spare us.
He is talking about mating and getting dangerously close to incel. He's complaining that one in three young men haven't had sex in a year. And what does the "professor" want to do? Force women to shtup them?
@jeffjarvis I think the gist was the confusing situation that young boys entering #manhood with traditional symbols of #masculinity are disappearing. It’s complicated, you can see how some young guys lose ambition and drift into playing video games while others get hooked on sites espousing Proud Boys hype. I’m an old guy that grew up in a different era, much less confusing but I remember, at age 18, thinking there might be something wrong with me because I still had never had sex.
