Please mail and call your reps and ask for a ceasefire. This slaughter isn’t going to end without international pressure.

Me: "Eyewitness reports say Israel dressed as civilians and aid workers for the hostage rescue operation; which is a war crime under the Geneva convention article 37 (1) c. [and other sections]"

Them: "We need irrefutable proof! This is hear-say!"

Me: "Israel has a history of disguising soldiers as non-combatants, here's a video of some dressed up as doctors raiding a hospital with assault rifles earlier this year."

Them: "This makes no sense to me, therefore you must be wrong."

Next week we’re gonna find out if Apple will ride the generative AI bullshit train as well. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

“Since when are you an expert in the Geneva Convention?”

Since I can read, thank you for asking.

Dressing up troops as humanitarian aid workers is a war crime and a direct violation of the Geneva convention, but who’s counting

Fantastic to see some people acknowledge that maybe AI is bullshit.

I’ll let you in on a secret: almost anything the tech industry comes up with is bullshit.

The upside about those helium leaks on the Boeing capsule is that “Houston, we have a problem” sounds like The Chipmunks

So a while ago eBay introduced AI-generated descriptions, which works exactly as well as you’d expect: not at all.

The main effect has been that descriptions on eBay from private sellers are now largely useless as they don’t bother to write anything themselves but let AI write empty paragraphs of absolute midness that don’t tell you anything.

My point here is that this is something you can’t control, because 1) scrapers will scrape it anyway and 2) 99% of spammers don’t get your email address from scraping.

It’s a waste of time trying to control this. It’s like trying to keep your hair color secret.

If it’s “Air Force”, why is it not “Vacuum Force” instead of “Space Force” 🤔

It’s so funny when in 2024 people use “blah at whatevs dot com” to try to obfuscate their email address from scrapers like it’s 1995.

Like this hasn’t worked for the last 20 years and just makes it harder for people who actually need to email you.
