Please God let a model or company as capable as Claude/Anthropic come along soon that doesnt require ID so that we don’t all end up as uncreative mind slaves.

AI assistance does not eliminate human authorship. A comment may be drafted or refined with tools but still reflect the user’s own ideas and judgment. Prohibiting any AI assistance would be difficult to enforce and would likely exclude normal writing aids that many people already use. The more relevant standard is whether the commenter stands behind the content and participates in the discussion.

I guess BBC has never heard of Iran. They easily passed the 3.5%, so the government “reduced the percentage”. BBC, you are completely disconnected from reality.

Gotta protect those precious greasy canola seed dollars, right? Seriously, does anyone even believe this?? I'm guessing High Fructose Corn Syrup doesn't cause diabetes either... As soon as some health investigator has a look at one of their profitable products, a squad of "scientists" rush to the scene to officially deboink the myth that it gives you heart disease. What a joke. And a sad one at that.

Thanks, I think I’ll stay with the old school non-malware version ;)

What type of proof would you like? An official statement by Pakistani militias that the government asked them to do it? We see similar tactics being used in Syria by Al-Jolani / Al-Sharaa to wipe out the Alawaites (20-50,000 executed) with the same being planned for the Druze. That way the government can say "it wasn't us", although of course, they didn't prevent it.

How about you just let the User decide how much they want their a$$ kissed. Why do you have to control everything? Just provide a few modes of communication and let the User decide. Freedom to the User!!

This makes no sense. CEO’s are inherently capitalist, but SF is a communist city, so her appeal is absurd on its face.

Ukraine just lost the war. Europe has no weapons to give them. They will now have no money from the USA. Zelensky was stupid and he bit the hand that fed him. Now he must live in shame and watch his country be conquered by Russia. I think Putin will change the name of Ukraine after he wins. What do you think he will call that land?

Hamas just changed the terms of the deal, demanding the release of hardened terrorists. The deal will now likely fall apart. They are a terrorist organization, and behave as such. This “deal” is just another avenue to wage psychological warfare, in their view. The war in Gaza will likely continue.

Firefox still crashes for me. Multiple computers and laptops, PC’s and Macs - it always crashes. I test it every few years and the crashes still occur. It makes it an unusable browser. Instead I use Brave.

No, let’s not.

Zuck still dreams of his despotic dictatorial empire where he can enslave millions and make them all trans via Police enforcement. This move is just to stop bleeding users to X.

This is genius

yikes... turns out that lily is actually a venus fly trap...

The future of the company doesn't depend on one engineer. If he left, it's likely because he had a vision that wasn't in line with Sam or Microsoft. Others will take his place and OpenAI will likely reach Elon Musks' recent prediction that AI will improve 100x in the next few years.

The AI analysed my body and said coldly, "Just take the elevator."

Excellent move. They were encouraging terrorism, and are funded by actors who are connected to terrorist activities. It's long overdue.

Yes, but just like Stanford, you probably can't say the word "American" without getting summoned to a disciplinary hearing and asking your landlord to have you evicted ah la San Francisco's way of doing things...

That could not be further from the truth. Israel and the Jewish people are one and the same. Israel is founded on Jewish principles, adheres to Jewish laws, enables the Jewish people to fulfill their national destiny, and represents every Jew on earth. You cannot separate the two.

what other country in the world can you say that a country is identical to its people?

We are unlike any other nation or state on earth - I mean, we are DEFINITELY judged differently! lol. Indeed, you cannot judge us like you would any other state, because we are unique. E.g. there is no state that is generally considered the national home of the Christians, or the Buddhists, or the Muslims.

Legally, all Jews have a say in Israel's decisions via the Law of Return, whether they use that privilege or not, so at the legal level there is a level of accountability.

When Israel does something wrong, like kill civilians and/or foreign aid workers, do the Jewish people all over the world collectively bear the guilt of it?

Yes, they absolutely do. You are correct in your assertion that you can't have it both ways, and we aren't asking for that. All Jews worldwide should be judged on the actions of the Israeli State, because Israel is the nation-state of the Jews.

Conversely, when Israel does something good or right or praiseworthy, every Jew around the world is entitled to that praise, and feels proud of their home, even if they are currently not living there.

Excellent questions. I'm not saying that the story isn't technically true. I'm saying that because of the obvious bias of +972, that their narative is one-sided and dangerous. There are the facts, and then there is the interpretation of the facts, both of which appear in the article. I would prefer to read the story from a more even-handed paper.

Why would these people have such important jobs within the military if they are so anti-Israel?

Soldiers are not screened for philosophical or nationalistic biases when they join intelligence or elite cyber units. They are only screened for capability, and patriotism is assumed. This has led to many anti-Zionists serving in very senior positions in the army. I've personally heard senior IDF officer rail against the religion and the country.

1. What drove the IDF's intelligence failure on Hamas activity before Oct 7?

Multiple factors. The social turmoil from the Judicial Reform fiasco definitely weakened us, as many left-wing intel personnel refused to serve, while others kept serving but stopped doing their jobs. Hamas also played an excellent game, keeping their mission secret amongst top commanders until the morning of Oct 7. I believe that our agencies had all the pieces of the puzzle, but since they weren't talking to each other, they didn't put it together until it had already happened. If Israel wants to survive (speaking as a resident and a soldier), then the entire intel apparatus has to be overhauled. Otherwise, we will be visiting the gas chambers quite soon.

2. With or without intelligence, why was the IDF unable to defend such an important security zone? One that I'd argue is world class, in terms of technology, troops, and arms.

Also, there are a few reasons. The soldiers there had been lulled into a sense of false security, and they paid for it with their lives. Most of them (about 350) were wiped out within the first hour or two. Again, Hamas played an excellent game. They brought a fully-automatic grenade launcher with an enormous amount of ammo and annihilated one base within a few minutes. That took out most of the infantry in the area. Meanwhile the pilots were not able to get into the air because of the Judicial Reform fiasco. They had not flown in 6 months out of protest against the reform, and as such their planes had not been refuelled or used in any way, and were not operational. But most of all, the left-wing generals that dominate our army truly believed that we had entered an era where no more wars would be fought, despite there being zero evidence that this was the case. Hamas understood this, and used it against us to mount a flawless surprise attack.

Actually they are. The Jewish people IS Israel and Israel is the Jewish people. To loath Israel is to loath Jews, which is why you see violent pro-Hamas protests at synagogues around the world now. It is understood and ubiquitously accepted that the enemy of "anti-Zionists" are all Jews, and yes, many anti-Zionists are Jews themselves.

Yes. We have very anti-Israel intelligence officers who are politically placed on the far left. Just because you're Israeli doesnt mean that you're pro Israel. Same for the IDF (which Im a soldier in). Just by speaking to a heavily biased paper like 972 they show their own bias against the country. I serve with several soldiers who are more supportive of the Palestinians than their own country.
