I feel like the real reason would be that Reddit suits know that Reddit is stereotyped as a gooner website and don’t want people to think redditors are gooners, which is very wishful thinking as everyone already knows they are some of the biggest gooners out there online.

Source? I’ll admit I’m very new to Israel-Palestine, that’s why I keep quiet about it most of the time, but I felt like speaking up for other people who know even less about the issue would be a good idea here on Lemmy where people seem to have a great deal of knowledge on the subject.

Yeah, I don’t support most of the crackdowns on the protests, but it’s silly to think that people are suddenly fascist for wanting state power to crack down on what they BELIEVE is antisemitism. If I believed that the protesters were doing it more out of weird racist shit than concern for Palestinians, I would want them out too. ESPECIALLY now.

And before you say “well they should know better!” I mean sure, but not everyone has the luxury of spending tons of time analyzing every single piece of news, looking into multiple sources, reading the history of a middle east region the size of New Jersey, etc, etc. What makes it even harder is that Israel and Palestine are ultimately foreign countries, no matter how much of an alliance the U.S has with Isreal, it’s still a country in the middle East.

Then there is the nuance, Hamas are still terrorists and Netanyahu even supported them until October 7th, Israelies were trying to actively get red of the guy until the 7th, the country was set up by the British have both sides fight and hate eachother forever, real antisemitism is rising all over the world and fascists are trying to take advantage of that and connect it to Israel-Palestine. Then Add media bias and how even video footage can be fake with AI and you have a basically completely out of control situation.

Actually yes its 100% on the conservative side now too. I know this because I know an insane die-hard MAGA Christian nationalist who ONLY drinks raw milk, they see pasteurization as weakening their manhoods and virility and shit.

One thing I found really interesting and was talking about with someone recently about the Isreal-Palestine situation currently is that unlike with Apartheid South Africa people have a MUCH harder time boycotting corporations involved with Israel than they did during Apartheid, with Globalism many things (such as soap in the US) are basically owned by a few companies operating under multiple labels, so it’s extremely hard to tell if a product is linked to a Zionist company compared to the Apartheid protests where things were both more clearly labeled and also less monopolized.
An example is: I’m pro-Ukraine. All my go-to soap brands are owned by Unilever, who are still active in Russia. I’m too poor to get handmade soaps from the farmers market, and I need to go scentless because of allergies and convenient because I can’t just spend all my time looking for guilt-free soap.
So, in regards to Isreal. who does that leave for people to boycott? The US Government, which although tax evasion is a very harshly punished thing, is much more directly and obviously linked to Zionism.

They are vaxx maxxed which of course gives you superpowers a la Residen’t Evil’s T-Virus.

Yup Kojima 1000 years ahead of his time.

After the SORA AI reveal today I’m starting to see that luddites have a point. I don’t think we’ll ever have terminator-style scenarios but the amount of damage misinformation and disinformation is doing to our society and now WILL do to our society is proof enough we need to start stepping back. I’ve seen the amazing benefits of AI first hand - new drugs, new treatments, more medical knowledge than ever before, gene sequencing of never before seen organisms. I’ve seen AI help with all those amazing beneficial things.

But I feel like the bad actors are wining, and winning very hard. Basically everything is unregulated and corporations refuse to take even a modicum of responsibility for anything. The worst thing is knowing that our octogenerian overlords don’t even know how to use a phone. I don’t see why i should continue to be a tech optimist when we all know that things are only going to get worse from here on out. In a post-truth society all we can really do is regress.

This is why I still come to Kbin, not a drop of this on other social media sites.

Oh my bad I must have misread it, I thought it has labeled it under “analysis of antisemitic beliefs” but it clearly says “agreement with statement about Israel”. However it does put holocaust denial under "agreement with statement about Israel (page 103). As well as “jews have too much power in america” (pg. 105)

The survey also says calling Isreal apartheid is antisemitic so now I’m questioning the validity of the 25%. I think in the age of social media its possible but now I’m starting to question it after actually reading it.

EDIT: Was wrong and misread it.

Eisenhower was brilliant to document the holocaust so thoroughly.

Self-driving cars lose their shit and stop working if a kangaroo gets in their way, one day some poor people are going to be carpet bombed because of another strange creature no one every really thinks about except locals.

Yeah the overwhelming majority of U.S republican candidates deny any form of climate change, and the only one the republicans will actually vote for says its a Chinese conspiracy.

Very true but they don’t always win, and besides, there are other lobbyists who are out there batting for Disney. If there is one hint of Micky Mouse™ in their data set they might as well just dissolve the company now.

I’m very concerned that it could be a new strain of avian flu which has already shown up in European fox farms as well as domestic cats.

Yeah I’ve done a tiny bit of AI stuff for what I do (biology) and I think it’s very sus they can build such a strong model out of data which costs lots of money. The reason the algos in my field of biology are so strong is because the NCBI has the genomes of everything that’s be sequenced FOR FREE, because obviously you don’t want people patenting genomes and it should all be free for science, etc.

Which begs the question how the a start up that started out as a non-profit get that much user data and keep costs low? I know you can buy user data and I’m not sure how much it is to buy a bunch of google docs from a data broker, but if you buy from hackers who just data breached or used some illegal crawler you can probably cut that to prices a nonprofit could afford.

I think he was probably lying about where he got all the data used to train the model from, I’m guessing training a model on tons of copyrighted material and stolen user data won’t be legal in the near future.

I think what matters here is that the humidity makes this a wet bulb or something similar to a wet bulb instead of actually an oven. It’s super doom but it’s a slightly different and honestly worse kind.
