I agree with everything you said but it is worth noting that those Dems who support Israel are few and may be easily offset by winning votes from other communities that are outraged by everything happening.

Could it be that threatning Biden with not voting may somehow force him to use his remaining office time to fight an ongoing genocide, by that winning the public opinion of young voters and being in office for another 4 years?

That to me is the a logical course of action.

Big thanks! It did answer my question and I also learned something new about this meme type.

Who is that gray person supposed to represent?

Isn’t the US Israel’s main weapons and freebie supplier?

It’s not only that it discriminated against certain groups, but also that it in itself has a high enough error rate to make it unusable for any decision making. MAYBE to select people for screening, but we would be falling further down into a dystopian future.

At the current performance, none if these AIs should be involved in anything this critical.

I fucking hate how OpenAi and other such companies claim their models “understand” language or are “fluent” in French. These are human attributes. Unless they made a synthetic brain, they can take these claims and shove them up their square tight corporate behinds.

This is not at all what I said. If a machine was complex enough to reason, all power to it. But these LLMs cannot.

Emphasis added. Storing files is not the problem. Nobody cared when they were just scanning and storing them. The problem arose when they started giving out copies. And worse, giving out copies without restriction - libaries “lend” ebooks by using DRM systems to try to ensure that only a specific number of copies are out “in circulation” at any given time, and so the big publishers have turned a blind eye to that.

But libraries do not do that to limit access… (I think, unless there is some kind of copyright law making it necessary to restrict access). Don’t they do do that because they have a limited number of book copies that they need to maintain to meet the book lending demands in their area? Seems to me like they are just trying ro maximise people’s access to books given the constraints. Any digital library can obviously do this much faster.

You totally lost me with your arguement at “so he had to falsify some books”.

Generally I agree that not all crimes are equal and that what you have written good be a good interpretation of how Trump supporters may trivialize the matter.

I found them to be useful because I usee to be in an erratic team where people either get a lot done or drag projects on for years. At least the project draggers had no place to hide when needing to report their project daily.

In my current job we only have these stand-up type meetings once weekly which made a big difference because many people had more interesting things to report and it wasn’t some kind of lip service, instead people were genuinely haring progress.

No to all cults in general, as a rule of thumb

Yep. That’s exactly like every AI system employed by the IDF.

Calling people human shields because they are in their own home as a pretense to bomb them is a war crime.

If a terrorist holds a baby, do you shoot the baby? Well, Israel would be ready to shoot a handful just to kill one person slightly affiliated with Hamas*.

The sad part is that they arent… this is just how their brains are.

snek, 30 days ago

Yep!

They have to have some Satan figure, a bunch of people who they can blame societal woes on. Even better if they are a minority so they have little power to resist as they deny them healthcare, councling, or emergency housing. Instead, they want these kids tamed and “forced straight”, shifting freedom away from these kids to empower traditional family values of control.

On top of that, winning the culture wars sounds cringe but is integral to maintaining their system.

These people cannot fix any issues that plague their communities, so instead they want to control and micromanage a bunch of teens.

Classic shitty adult.

I thought about making them in cronological order for a few cases. I thibk it fits well with the assasination of Shireen Abu Aqleh.
