Seventy-two of the 99 journalists killed worldwide in 2023 were Palestinians reporting on Israel’s war on Gaza, making those 12 months the deadliest for the media in almost a decade, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ)....
Israel are the ones who made being Jewish synonymous with being Israeli. So now if talk against Israel, you're being antisemitic. If you disagree with their conduct, you're being antisemitic. All they've done is muddy the waters so that criticism of their vile actions somehow means you're denying the Holocaust. How many times has Netanyahu brought up 7th Oct as justification for the actions they've committed against Palestinians? "Why should we stop bombing Gaza? Do you not remember 7th Oct?'
You can see my post history if you want to content yourself that I don't just copy-paste responses. I like to tailor my answer depending on how much of an asshole the person I'm replying to is.
Someone else commented what my point was but I'll make it clear myself. While Netanyahu believes it's favourable to classify all anything Jewish as being related to Israel, the inverse is what you're seeing play out.
Attacking Israel means you're attacking the Jewish faith therefore, attacking members of the Jewish faith means you're attacking Israel. This isn't a position I hold, this is the situation Israel has placed Jews around the world in as a result of muddying the waters. Israel is perfectly willing to manipulate the horror of the Holocaust to get allies to support their violence against Palestinians.
I don't understand the comments suggesting this is "guilty by proxy". These platforms have algorithms designed to keep you engaged and through their callousness, have allowed extremist content to remain visible.
Are we going to ignore all the anti-vaxxer groups who fueled vaccine hesitancy which resulted in long dead diseases making a resurgence?
To call Facebook anything less than complicit in the rise of extremist ideologies and conspiratorial beliefs, is extremely short-sighted.
"But Freedom of Speech!"
If that speech causes harm like convincing a teenager walking into a grocery store and gunning people down is a good idea, you don't deserve to have that speech. Sorry, you've violated the social contract and those people's blood is on your hands.
I'm from Pakistan so it's not like I can ever get a visa to India in the first place but why do this? Why make an entire nationality pay more money because of events they were never involved in? If this is supposed to act as "reparations" then again, why are you charging people who are already paying a lot of money to get to the country?
I'd replace "advances" with "proliferates" because I'm yet to see an instance of these generative bits doing anything but spamming the internet with their garbage.

Well, it's because he's an old fuck already so his heinous crimes result in him spending the rest of his worthless life in prison. If he's lucky, he'll die before he reaches 100.
I mainly disagree with the final statement on the basis that the LLMs are more advanced predictive text algorithms. The way they've been set up with a chatbox where you're interacting directly with something that attempts human-like responses, gives off the misconception that the thing you're talking to is more intelligent than it actually is. It gives off a strong appearance of intelligence but at the end of the day, it predicts the next word in a sentence based on what was said previously but it doesn't do that good job of comprehending what exactly it's telling you. It's very confident when it gives responses which also means when it's wrong, it's very confidently delivering the incorrect response.
What you're alluding to is the Turing test and it hasn't been proven that any LLM would pass it. At this moment, there are people who have failed the inverse Turing test, being able to acerrtain whether what they're speaking to is a machine or human. The latter can be done and has been done by things less complex than LLMs and isn't proof of an LLMs capabilities over more rudimentary chatbots.
You're also suggesting that it minimises the complexity of its outputs. My determination is that what we're getting is the limit of what it can achieve. You'd have to prove that any allusion to higher intelligence can't be attributed to coercion by the user or it's just hallucinating based on imitating artificial intelligence from media.
There are elements of the model that are very fascinating like how it organises language into these contextual buckets but this is still a predictive model. Understanding that certain words appear near each other in certain contexts is hardly intelligence, it's a sophisticated machine learning algorithm.

The payment model is largely irrelevant. The feature by design is a privacy nightmare so it being even an option available to users is dangerous. How they thought they'd get this past the EU is beyond me.
