It’s all the fault of anteeefa! /s

This really is accelerating.

Wow thanks I had not realized this.

How did India get like this? I imagine it’s the TV and news and now internet sites that pushed a large potion of the population into this extreme right wing?

Now I want to see that movie. Guy becomes dragon, turns into politician.

I want a language that takes this and has a specification for the editor to prettify it

Fuck Stoltenberg, he’s a vile war monger. He’s one of the architects of the Ukraine war.

And he’s an idiot for even taking the bullshit trump is vomiting up serious. I mean really, this is clearly total bullshit. Taking it seriously actually helps trump. His base loves him for this shit and how libs freak out about it.

Yeah sh.reddit.com is a good name for the new new design. I couldn’t fucking believe how bad it is and now opt out! There is an reddit-redirect browser addon to redirect to new.reddit. Reddit-enhancer is also working on improving the new “tik-tokified” UI. My guess we’ll see more expansive and transformative browser addons instead of clients.

Yeah, why take Russia seriously at all? :D

78. The Court considers that, with regard to the situation described above, Israel must, in accordance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention, in relation to Palestinians in Gaza, take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts within the scope of Article II of this Convention, in particular: (a) killing members of the group; (b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; © deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; and (d) imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group. The Court recalls that these acts fall within the scope of Article II of the Convention when they are committed with the intent to destroy in whole or in part a group as such (see paragraph 44 above). The Court further considers that Israel must ensure with immediate effect that its military forces do not commit any of the above-described acts.
79. The Court is also of the view that Israel must take all measures within its power to prevent and punish the direct and public incitement to commit genocide in relation to members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip.
80. The Court further considers that Israel must take immediate and effective measures to enable the provision of urgently needed basic services and humanitarian assistance to address the adverse conditions of life faced by Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
81. Israel must also take effective measures to prevent the destruction and ensure the preservation of evidence related to allegations of acts within the scope of Article II and Article III of the Genocide Convention against members of the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip.

Tell me again how you’re a lawyer who read the order lol. But we’ve seen again and again how Israel operatives lie to justify their fascist regime and their genocide.

I’m not calling for a ban on autonomous vehicles. There are clear advantages to using AI, and it is irresponsible for people to call on a ban, or even a pause, on AI. But we need more government oversight to prevent the taking of unnecessary risks.

That is basically what I’m thinking. In an ideal world we’d run a “Manhattan project” to create a massive and open research project for self driving AI with different approaches that doesn’t rely on profit seeking and short sighted corporations. I still see no rational arguments for stopping to develop and improve self driving cars. There is no theoretical or practical hurdle for it to become near flawless with enough work. Potentially eliminating hundreds of thousands of deaths and injury and also saving a lot of energy and resources.

And yeah most transportation should be trains and bicycles and a better concept for velomobiles, something more like the podbike. But self driving small, cheap and low energy robo-taxis would have incredible value. Most of all it can be shared between people to a much higher degree because it can drive itself to the next pickup without requiring a full time driver or space for one. It doesn’t need the range because it can park and recharge autonomously while another vehicle in the fleet replaces it. All large metropolis should ban all cars and only allow robo taxis or special vehicles for delivery etc. With regulation and while avoiding a monopoly. The potential is huge.

But I guess the pseudo-religious hive mind is turning on AI.

Yeah but they’d loose too! :D

I wonder if people forgot, or maybe gen Z and millenials never really know how bad nuclear weapons are. Even a regional nuclear exchange would probably lead to a nuclear winter and then a nuclear summer, completely fucking the climate. As long as we have them, it’s inevitable that we’ll eventually use them. Just the law of large numbers / Murphey’s law. The wars climate change will cause will make that even more likely. But hey, lets keep playing stupid games.

Yeah right, NATO commands far more nuclear warheads than Russia! They’d definitely loose in a thermonuclear exchange!

You could be right but the way the media here works is that they do report the facts but bias them. The headline sets the tone, and how the article is written makes it more likely to come to one conclusion. So it would take much more work to make my point. But I’m pretty sure: Even if they do technically report the facts there is a huge bias to manipulate the population in the “free” press.

In this case something like “ooohh too bad the court didn’t give the arabs what they wanted poor guys!” while it really was a legal victory - the court specifically ordered them to stop killing of palestinians.

I can’t read newspapers without getting super angry lol

Not just Israel, all the countries that defunded the humanitarian aid.

The article at least mentions that even though the order didn’t demand ceasefire, it practically did very explicitly:

The State of Israel shall … desist from the commission of any and all acts within the scope of Article II of the Convention, in particular:

(a) killing members of the group;

(b) causing serious bodily or mental harm to the members of the group

Many western media had the headline “no ceasefire ordered” which made the order sound like it was nothing. The western media too is complicit in atrocity.

Oh how funny, how clever! It’s SELF EVIDENT they are impossible lol. Didn’t think of that killer argument.

Obviously you’re wrong because they already exist. They are just not yet good enough. I suspect you’re some kind of religious nutjob who thinks there is something supernatural about human brains that computers can just never do lol.

They are not an unsolvable problem. What is your argument for this? And no I’m not watching the whole video lol

Why would China do this better?

China is ruled by a single party in an authoritarian regime. They have corruption and politicking but they still have remnants of a planned economy and can still make rational decisions for the benefit of their country. For example they have massive projects to build high speed rail and nuclear power.

The US can only make decisions for the benefit of profit maximization. That’s overexaggerated of course but you get the gist.

Imagine a whole city converted to public transport, bicycles/quadricycles and robo-taxies to fill the gaps. They could be single seat the size of a velomobile (podbike is an interesting example) and only weigh 100kg and use like 250-500 watt to drive up to 50kmh. Or maybe two seats face to face so you have space to stretch your legs or put your groceries.

Yawn, obviously privately owned monopoly would be bad. I can imagine China doing this well as a public utility.

I believe small single seat robo-taxies would allow a lot of the gaps to be closed and resistance removed.

But more than this you need to plan cities to be smaller urban areas with high density that have everything you need in walking distance. Which also means “less efficiency” in the capitalist sense.
