  • Trump, Netanyahu and Khamenei – three angry old men who could get us all killed

    Jump

  • Israel is undoubtedly the most evil regime in the world but upholding another evil regime oppressing 90+ million people just because they lay claim to standing up to Israel - without producing any particularly strong results - doesn't seem like the tradeoff to go for. Two wrongs don't make a right. Iran can still be on the right side of history without Khamenei and his goons.

  • I am, but I won't claim that I'm not first and foremost Danish - apart from when it comes to food.. But I do feel like I'm allowed to have a strong opinion on the regime.

  • Of course I have family in Iran, even though I don't know them too well. How are you reading that I'm happy that terrorist (Israeli) bombs are falling on people? Regular people are always the losers in warfare, no matter the circumstances. Just wouldn't be sad if it happened to fall on Khamenei - nor if a missile landed on Bibi's house.

  • Oh absolutely, this one is on Israel for sure. Just important to note that it's not like the Iranian regime is made up of pacifists

  • What do I know? My parents came to Denmark fleeing from this shitty regime. What do you know?

  • So? US foreign policy has done a number of the whole world. It's not an excuse for Khamenei and his goons to uphold this regime.

  • Stop pretending like Khamenei isn't a criminal. He's not just an angry old man because they're "facing an existential threat" he's a fuckwad through and through and no Iranian would shed a tear if he was shelled. Israel certainly started this iteration of the conflict but Khamenei and the regime has a rap sheet far longer than Trump's.

  • No doubt Israel started this iteration but to say that Iran doesn't want war is viewing the regime too favourably. Of course they don't want war on Iranian territory - but they do want to directly sponsor Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis, al-Assad (until he fell), and other mostly Shia militias while severely oppressing their own population - especially minorities. Fuck Israel but it's not like Iran comes with peaceful intentions. My parents fled from this regime, and while virtually no Iranian supports Israel's actions or wants war, most of us wouldn't shed a single tear if the entire regime were wiped out.

  • Hegseth says the Pentagon has contingency plans to invade Greenland if necessary

  • Oh trust me, the Danish people find this highly criricisable. It's been debated a lot over the past months - but the government - which is made up of the neoliberal parties who's always had their tongues way up USA's ass - has done everything they can to push it under the rug and to make it as secretive as possible. These people see only profit and the thought of "losing" USA as a partner is worse than the fact that we just invited the enemy in - with a deal where they can do whatever they want to do and we can't even take them to court. Officially it's because of "the Russian threat" but the only country that'd ever invade Denmark or has ever threatened to do so is USA.. Russia has a few other countries to go through and they can't even win their current war.

    We've just always been an American puppet state.

  • I remember the time before everyone and their mother lived chronically online and were constantly bombarded with (fake) news. Terrible stuff - wars, famine, whatnot - has always happened, now we just know about it instantly.

  • Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news

    Jump

  • Absolutely a nuanced area. But on top of not modelling random people as full individuals it's hard to determine what spying on people might actually mean. I don't really want to defend working for a company as nefarious as Palantir - even if I honestly hardly knew them before Trump #2 - but convincing yourself that gathering people's data isn't problematic is quite easy, and we all inherently accept a wide array of surveillance measures as - willing or unwilling - members of state entities, be it a video camera in a clothing store or governments logging our tax data. Then comes the fact that employees below the level of "board of directors" usually don't know everything going on in the company; I wouldn't fault a junior dev choosing to work for, say, 'cool' Google or Apple in 2017.

    Of course it's relevant that humans are egocentrical animals; I wouldn't give my own life to save five people that I don't know in Moldova. Being too empathetic is a poor trait in a dog eat dog world. Of course we need standards and to hold others up to these standards; I don't know your friend, what he does at Palantir or when he started working there - maybe he's a lazy ass that holds them back haha - and I do think, especially with all that's transpired the past 5 months, that it's a problematic company to be part of - I just wanted to discuss that I don't think it's just lack of empathy

  • Sure he does, intellectually, just like I understand the ramifications of buying a smartphone, clothes "made in Bangladesh", or using a public AI model. Still the human conscience doesn't apply too much significance to something that abstract. It doesn't keep me up at night that my lithium is mined by Congolese children - but if I had to buy it personally from a one-armed indentured labourer I'm sure I'd stop immediately. "Out of sight out of mind" isn't an excuse for committing heinous acts, I'm just saying that it's not simply that he "doesn't care about other people"

  • A couple dozen of Danish municipalities are working on replacing Google and Microsoft entirely in schools with a project called OS2Skole (skole meaning "school"). It's expected to save them around €3 million in yearly and the intention is to de-Googleify and de-Microsoftify children already from an early age and to make it open source.

    Mind you that the project was started before Trump got re-elected.

  • I think it can be difficult to relate to such abstract concepts and consequences that you don't feel directly. After all, it'd be much easier to press on a button that'd kill 10 000 people living 10 000 km away from you than to stab one person to death. Out of sight out of mind.

    My point being that I don't think he's indifferent to people that he doesn't know, he's simply not able to process all the ramifications of this particular thing. The effects of data collection and manipulation is quite subtle, after all, like the frog in the slow burning pot
