My question is:

How far does the AI system go… is it behind the AI decision to starve the population of Gaza?

And if it is behind the strategy of starvation as a tool of war, is it also behind the decision to kill the aid workers who are trying to feed the starving?

How far does the AI system go?

Also, can an AI commit a war crime? Is it any defence to say, “The computer did it!” Or “I was just following AI’s orders!”

There’s so much about this death machine AI I would like to know.

Lavender: One person’s flower, another person’s AI death machine.

Sorry, I was looking for answers to my questions - not more questions.

Genocide was clearly defined and introduced AFTER that war ended!

I would like to know if the AI is deciding to starve the entire population and kill aid workers?

It’s a serious question, because the article mentions how AI plays such a crucial role… but where does it end?

I know the following question sounds absurd, but they say there’s no such thing as a silly question…

Does the AI use regular power to run, or does it run on the tears and blood of combatant 3 year old children - I mean terrorists?

It’s the most important thing going on in the world. And geeks shouldn’t be thought of as people who will sit and think how cool the death machine AI that Israel has developed which chooses how and when 30K children die… geeks make this tech, profitise from it, and lurk about HN and when it comes to facing the reality of their creations they want to close the conversation down, flag comments, and evade the hurty real world reality of it. Sad. And pathetic. I’m not saying you are personally.

IDF flag everything. You just need to watch the live comments on any YT video about what they are doing in Gaza to see they have a mommoth operation going on of silencing everything and putting up lots of Anti Muslim vile.

Or in the words of Shaggy…

“Saw you blowing up the children…”

“It wasn’t me.”

Em, I think you mean any reasonable minded human that walks the planet.

When you look at the map of Gaza, it looks like the AI must have told them to bomb every single house that was still standing.

How? We both read the same article!

Is the AI the one deciding to let all the children of Gaza starve? I’d like to know how far this death machine goes?

And they would have lived too, if it weren’t for that pesky AI!!

No, what doesn’t make sense is you.

The guy made it obvious he was struggling. He needed somebody to take it over and someone came to his ‘rescue’… and he trusted every single change they brought.

Why am I saying that you don’t make sense? …because you haven’t even suggested a single resolution. You attack me even though I’m saying it how it is.

Now how about making use of your reply and suggesting something more useful? Because the status quo is actually what led to this, people just ignoring the issue and leaving the guy to his devices when his heart clearly isn’t in it.

Can I remind everyone that the entire world was nearly hacked?

Or he could promise to never hand it over to anyone else again. Who cares about features.

Yes, that is kind of the point. The internet is full of bullies and that isn’t going to change - his heart wasn’t in it and he had bad judgement. He was played, I get it, but I know a tonne of professions where you’d be out the door if you messed up on that scale.

What do you mean Cloudflare is always trying to de-anonymise?

Still amazes me that Tor exists simply to hide American (and no doubt other Five-Eyes) spies among the ‘privacy advocates’ and others.

I admit, I used to believe in the ‘Tor mission’ for years and years.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Or a ‘friend’ reports you as dead when you are very much alive and kicking. My partner refused to show Meta ID to verify anything - good on her.

They don’t apply to me, so I am not trying to work around them.

If something is going to be too difficult to work around, and it’s a total requirement, then I suppose I will be forced to go with the flow if it means that I will starve or have no bed to sleep in.

Sad, but I believe what you are saying is true.

But on the other hand, who would have though 10 years ago that VPN’s would catch on so much that they plague the YT advertising and often run on commercial TV and radio?!

Re the falsifying working hours, wouldn’t these boffins be able to automate Git commits at certain times or even pass instructions to another team who is working the late night shift to post these changes etc.

I went to MacDonald’s last night, it is open 24/7, these spy agencies surely aren’t more lazy than minimum wage MacD employees - I am sure they work around the clock. Plus, you have night hawks like me who get more stuck in to a project at 4am and sleep through the day.

Israeli intelligence, ah probably. Wouldn’t be surprised. I imagine if it was GCHQ, it wouldn’t have been so noisy and got uncovered like this.

If it was proving my ID to my own Government then yes, otherwise no - I’d work around the restriction.

I just can’t brave the venture to 4chan, I may get mugged or worse.

If it was related, it’d already be too late for many before the real payload was uploaded.

I said this days ago, but re timezones - they are meaningless as even GCHQ and NSA etc will place false flags in code which has any kind of risk of exposure. I first learned about those techniques from all the high profile intelligence agency leaks from the USA who were performing those themselves.

So while everyone thinks this backdoor was caught early, its purpose might have been achieved already. Especially if those targets were developers who used rolling release distros, like Kali and Debian.

It’s an awful thing for many to accept, but just downloading and setting up an LLM which doesn’t connect to the web doesn’t mean that your conversations with said LLM won’t be a severely interesting piece of telemetry that Microsoft and (likely Apple) would swipe to help deliver a ‘better service’ to you.

Links to all these models you speak of?

I just had a look at their Github, and true enough:

“External weights are particularly useful for Windows users because they enable you to work around Windows' 4GB executable file size limit.

For Windows users, here's an example for the Mistral LLM:

curl -L -o mistral.gguf https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.1-GGU...
