Looks a lot like the 2019-2022 situation that led up to the current government, where the Zionist opposition wants Netanyahu out but can’t offer anything substantial enough to earn a majority themselves and won’t touch the pro-Palestinian parties that would let them bridge the gap with a 10 foot pole. Get ready to start following news about the 2027 elections, I guess.

AI GPUs have specialized very heavily for neural networks, including things like going down to 8- or 4-bit floats in favor of more parallelization. Most of that hardware is just useless for graphics tasks at this point.

He likely would have had a coalition if not for the fact that huge portions of the Palestinian-Israeli population, who usually abstain from voting because they don’t want to acknowledge the Israeli regime as legitimate, actually turned out to vote for the first time. Sadly the opposition would rather let Netanyahu win than work with their parties; genocide isn’t even the issue most parties have with Netanyahu. Most of the opposition is pro-genocide, they just think they could do it more efficiently and respectably.

There have been a tragically large number of generated fics uploaded this year, but at least they’re tagged…

There are too many of these companies to remember at this point, to be fair. I keep getting things mixed up with SoftBank.

Sadly I think the popularization does owe a lot to the intermediate stage where 4chan started calling mass entertainment media “goyslop,” but even the Protocols types switched to tacking on specific descriptors before it made it out into the mainstream and got picked up as a term for genAI output.

Kind of fascinated by how this guy has gone into reddit threads about this to complain about being bullied, including complaining that people are sharing this screenshot with his full name and face unredacted. Buddy, I don’t know what to tell you about who’s responsible for that one.

I’m not the one moving them, go look at the actual kinds of statements the PR guys make about destroying humanity.

The definition of “existential risk” in question is specifically cult jargon for “could singlehandedly end human civilization and/or the entire species.” Autonomous weapon systems, though horrifying and unconscionable, are just fine by most “x-risk” types as long as they’re only used against enemies of the state instead of enemies of Skynet.

Hasn’t most of that automated terminal guidance been directed at people and tanks in open fields, away from buildings?

I think this is just the standard 4chan use of both terms, so kind of yes but filtered through years of shitposting.

He’s a provocateur who believes in the value of extremism for its own sake. Getting as many people as possible to find his politics offensive and argue with each other in the comments is the point.

I forget which convention it is exactly, but I think it’s the one that goes M(ille), MM(illion) instead of Kilo, Mega…

Rationalism really is just Scientology with a guy who wants to be a harem anime protagonist instead of an admiral.

They deliberately fired the “let’s try not to commit war crimes” intelligence division because minimizing collateral damage is woke.

Here I thought Supreme intelligence would have that “By any means necessary.” print and cost several thousand dollars.

The touchscreen is cheaper to install than buttons and knobs, and they’re trying to come up with reasons that a cheaper, worse product is actually good and you should thank them for their innovation.

Those more extreme than Netanyahu are at least still a minority, albeit empowered by their position in the coalition. The majority of the protests against Netanyahu come from the same kind of centrists as the Americans you saw protesting Trump in 2017, who objected to the fascist boomerang coming around to hit them but wouldn’t have raised nearly as much of a fuss about deportations and overseas assassination campaigns if Hillary Clinton had been the one behind them.

I think it’s all too easy to imagine a mass of undifferentiated monsters rather than confronting the connection between unfortunately familiar patterns of political engagement and the slaughter they cause, just because that connection is more obvious closer to the blade of the imperialist knife. Plenty of militaristic genocide deniers are just as much liberal progressives as their counterparts in western countries until the switch flips back to their military brainwashing and they start talking about security guarantees and buffer zones.

Maybe I’m naive for believing that people can change, but I don’t think that everyone who’s been sold on the lie that forever war is the only way for them to be safe is as committed to violence as the backyard terrorists with lawn chairs.

Is it just me, or does the whole thing smell like slop?

Do you think the title would’ve mentioned an “All-American” tank if it had been a 60 year old M48, or do you see the bias at play?
