  • Mutated or distorted copies of the original instance, reformated to cut through the noise and gain the favor of the algorithm. Re-posts of re-posts, with no reference back to the original, divorced of whatever context or commentary the original creator may have provided… This is a miniature preview of the future brought to you by LLM vendors. A monetized portal to a dead internet. A one-way street. An incestuous ouroborous of re-posts of re-posts. Automated remixes of automated remixes.

    The internet is genuinely already trending this way just from LLM AI writing things like: articles and bot reviews, listicle and ‘review’ websites that laser focus for SEO hits, social media comments and posts to propagandize or astroturf…

    We are going to live and die by how the Captcha-AI arms race is ran against the malicious actors, but that won’t help when governments or capital give themselves root access.

  • I’ll bite, just in case you’re not a troll here to poison discourse.

    Flipping the script, Israel has a population of a little over 7.1 million Jewish people, per Israeli census data.

    Taking the semi-firm death tally from Oct7, at under 1,200, statistically speaking, those 1,139 deaths are a ‘rounding error’ (0.00016028708134%) of the Jewish population in Israel, let alone Jews all over the world.

    But here’s the important part that you missed/willingly ignored - each one of those killed on Oct7 are individual tragedies, just as each of the tens of thousands of civilians deaths afterwards in Gaza are. And nearly all of this death and misery is preventable.

  • ‘Data poisoning’, encryption, & copyright.

  • You don’t. Drivers are often hit by cars that ‘come out of nowhere’, motorcycles with loud engines, full lane use and signaling are ‘invisible’ when drivers only expect ‘big metal box’ in road - they’re just not going to see you, let alone look for you.

    Build a hardened bicycle lane and I’ll use it with pleasure, otherwise I’ll ride with the pedestrians and catch looks when I pass by wide in the verge

  • Wow! You’re telling me that onerous and crony copyright laws stifle innovation and creativity? Thanks for solving the mystery guys, we never knew that!

  • Watching an MSF volunteer doctor describe WCNSF while the interviewer sat mute and emotionless was telling.

    There's an acronym that's unique to the Gaza Strip, it's WCNSF - wounded child, no surviving family - and it's not used infrequently

    She almost broke down mid sentence, the host was ready to move on to the next segment piece of the broadcast…

  • Agreed, India got shafted on tank deliverables for the same reason- but hence technology transfer. And raw materials are always worthwhile commodities or precursors.

  • ISIS over here beefing with everyone, ride or die for the caliphate inshallah

  • If NK was smart in making the deal with Russia, they likely got technology transfer and/or embargoed supplies of things they aren’t good at making like electro-optics, guidance systems, raw titanium, oil, missile software, avionics, etc instead of just money. Money they can counterfeit or blackmail the west for, the rest are verboten via sanctions.

    THATS what has South Korea’s jimmies rustled - the big list of potential trade items NK could get, that’d help NK be much more effective if the DMZ gets ‘kinetic’ again. At the very least NK gets battlefield feedback on the supplied hardware.

  • Wiring/PCB header or connector/common data hub yes - but my point was that has to be thought out ahead, and cannot be modified afterwards in the same way touch screens can

    BoM complexity and cross commonality is a challenge in manufacturing. It’s why we see all these ‘global platforms’ among automakers trying to build one unibody core subframe for all or most of their cars, adding different panels and roof assembly for an SUV or sedan respectively. Fewer parts to stock and build is a cost saving (for the manufacturer, don’t expect them to pass that saving along) - same with tactile controls.

  • It’s great for Tesla, for one reason - modularity.

    If your input/control has a physical button, that immediately needs independent wiring, assembly steps, A THOUGHT OUT PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PLAN, another BoM item to build the car/widget, and usually markings that limit its use for other functions (present and planned).

    Tesla can bury controls and change interfaces as much as they like on the main touchscreen, or even add new features. It’s still trash for driver usability except when parked for all the obvious reasons, but hey they get to ‘push’ new features over cellular networks as they’re developed. Y’know, instead of selling a complete product in the first place.

  • The Doha accords were a gift to the Taliban, they knew the US wanted out, Trump said we wanted out, and he set the stage for an untenable self-governance in Afghanistan

    Biden deserves plenty of blame for how the inevitable went down and not ensuring interpreters/collaborators were evacuated , but Trump absolutely set up the fall of Afghanistan. The Afghan papers made clear the ANA were not a viable force, but Biden should have had contingencies ready

  • Of course. CENTCOM needs a base to enforce US-hegemony from. Qatar is playing the middle ground between the US and the Muslim world, and wants to pick up the US as an ally when Saudi Arabia got iced out after Jamal Khashoggi was dismembered, and MBS refused to sabotage OPEC when ‘muh gas prices high’ during the pandemic. Turkey is seen as unreliable post-coup and crackdown, and is no longer submissive.

    The only winning move, is not to play?

  • Who is the more accelerationist candidate? The one who openly calls himself a dictator (‘on day one only, teehehehe’) or the status-quo octogenarian who continues the moral bankruptcy and refuses to stop lethal support or even public condemnation towards Israel even slightly? And I’m supposed to be thankful that Biden-Harris check the “not Trump lol” box and ignore the rest? Remember the hemming and hawing about Ukraine getting last gen/expiring tech? And we’re just GIVING Israel hardware from active US inventory???

    I’d LOVE a viable third party or AVP/STV/etc voting, but electoral reform is a threat to DNC & RNC hegemony, so that never happening without a constitutional convention. So tell me, do you really have a choice at the ballot? Federal and primary races are littered with corporate and party money, there is no organic change coming from DC anymore.

  • Nobody. That’s the tragedy. As long as AIPAC throws lobbying dollars around and hardline US Jews and Christians refuse any stance except 100% support, America’s UNSC veto (or threat therein-of) ensures Israel has political cover.

    Just like a long line of awful US ‘strategic allies’ like Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Pinochet, Saddam, etc…

  • Exactly this. Either Netanyahu controls the Likud-coalition and this is the aligned message of displacement/ethnic cleansing, or he dismisses these ministers and publicly refutes these statements, or he doesn’t have control and should immediately hold elections to secure a real coalition or majority. But that risks jail for Netanyahu, and his actions so far have openly spoken of cowardice in the face of the legal repercussions.

    Because otherwise this kind of rhetoric is going straight into the ICJ evidence file for SA’s genocide complaint that Israel is contesting. Protestations of ‘blood libel’ don’t drown out cabinet ministers openly calling for ethnic cleansing going unpunished.

  • Lemme get this straight. We’ve put significant restrictions on Ukraine using US provided gear, against targets inside of other countries. Because runaway escalation would be bad.

    But we’re supposedly cool if the IDF, then or at some point in the future, without prior approval or permission, uses US hardware against targets inside of other countries? Make it make sense, the justification for both countries is defensive wars against invading neighbors
