The headline makes it sound like Israel attacked the aid. That’s not the case according to the body of the article. Odd.

Ahh fair enough. Hope you have a great day.

Not just for a sociopath. Anti-air is expensive (table with some options. A patriot cost like $3M/pop. If a missile was going to hit an uninhabited area choosing not to intercept makes sense.

That’s why DARPA keeps working on DEWs.

It’s a reasonable question to ask.

Yes we killed en-mass back then.

The primary feature of LLM’s is the hallucination.

LLM’s hallucinate all the time. The hallucination is the feature. Depending on how you design the neural network you can get an AI that doesn’t hallucinate. LLM’s have to do that, because they’re mimicking human speech patterns and predicting one of my possible responses.

A model that tries to predict locations of people likely wouldn’t work like that.

I would fully disagree. We targeted civilians, not in war zones at functions like weddings, funerals and other explicitly civilian gatherings. We (the US) had the intent to kill civilians, and our tolerances for civilian casualties were an order of magnitude larger than what the IDF is using.

If anything it’s not comparable because what we did was worse.

I mean, it probably has a neural network component.

This AI isn’t a LLM.

This is almost certainly true. That’s truthfully the only way to track humans en-mass.

What do you mean? There’s a whole generation of Yemeni children afraid of Sunny days because those are the days that people die. I’m a place that gets 300+ days of sunshine a year.

We we’re much worse.

Oh absolutely. Israel’s popularity has taken a hit in the US (Down to 58%, source but the Palestinian Authority’s support is down to 18% (same source).

And when you look at specifically questions around Israel & Hamas’ handling and justification for conflict it’s no-contest (source. Nobody thinks Hamas’ actions were justifiable. That pew poll is pretty nuanced and lays it out pretty well. Most of Palestinians support is primarily focused on the human cost of the war; which the US is seen to be mitigating with it’s air drops and the port we’re building.

It’s not really surprising either. The older you are the more you’ve experienced Hamas/PA tactics and PR and the less susceptible you are to it. And Hamas is getting fairly good coverage here. There’s rarely a news article pointing out that US citizens are still being held hostage, for example.

Gaza isn’t large. You could legitimately destroy 90% of standing structures with 10-20k tomahawk-esque missiles. You could like do the same thing with 5-10x the number of artillery shells.

Because it’s wildly unpopular here. The attacks on 10/7 have convinced more people who would normally be supporters if Gaza/Hamas to not be. And the persistent polling that shows supermajority support amongst Palestinians, plus the continued ransom (and likely perpetual rape) of hostages, combine with the consistent pledge of “we love it and we’ll do it again”, and the fact that Americans are still being held hostage; Palestinians should be glad the US hasn’t entered the conflict ourselves.

Only time will tell, but I remember when the same sort of claims were made about him calling the 2016 race a toss up. Although it does look like I have some links to read.

It’s odd to me that the reasoning given here and in the article for this problem for the Democrats is that they aren’t acting Republican enough and they are too leftist.

For the most part the average Black voter doesn’t identify as Liberal. And that makes sense when you think about it. The median Black voter is a rural or suburban 50+ year old who left the Republican Party because they endorsed the Southern Strategy, not because of conservative policy support. So being “more leftist” isn’t really going to win more of the black vote. They’re already winning the black vote that cares about “leftist” policies.

Also I’m sorry I can’t leave it, but are you saying that the BLM “cohort” prefer trump in there? I’m not going to say that anyone is enthusiastic about Biden, but Trump encouraged beat downs across the country and threatened to march the military on these folks.

Added a highlight for the important part. The BLM cohort is not likely to vote for Trump this election. But they’re also not likely to be energized to vote for Biden. And history shows us that unenthusiastic support leads to low turnout. And part of why they’re so unenthusiastic is that the Dems ran the “Anti-BLM” ticket with Biden/Harris.

Another classic blunder by her and her campaign.

But on the polls specifically, when polling showed her even with Trump in Wisconsin and Michigan and he was travelling around those states like a madman campaigning. She was snoozing it up with rich donors in California and not campaigning.

Many student loans have been forgiven. He can’t do forgiveness as broadly as he’d like, the GOP is fighting him on that, but he continues to fight for it and is getting more. My own mother is in her 60s and has another 10+ years on her student loan - but I am hopeful his student loan forgiveness will reach her - she has applied and right now it is just a waiting game (information over the past year has been very confusing regarding what to do and when).

Biden negotiated away his ability to suspend student loan payments to get a temporary budget passed. He didn’t have to do that. He could have kept payments suspended until the forgiveness hit. He chose not to prioritize it.

This was Clinton’s strategy when she lost to Trump.
