Yeah, racism is a huge impetus for imperialism, sure. But if for some reason Gazans gradually became white over the past 75 years, I don't think the imperialism would stop now. The log's rolling.

the helicopter is the flying fuck

Is it plausible this might cause the helicopter to crash somehow? I wouldn't want to risk that.

Edit: can't believe people be downvoting this. Y'all have no idea how catastrophic a helicopter crash could be. But if you're downvoting because you think the answer is obvious and I'm stupid, I respect that.

You mean when America dragged its feet entering WW2? I suppose Canada jumped in to help but we're a commonwealth country.

I don't think that's the main reason. Racism is probably a factor, but the main reason is imperialism. Israel benefits The U.S. and NATO strategically. Even if Gazans were, say, russian-speaking Cossacks instead, I think the situation would not be terribly different.

If you believe LLMs are not good at anything then there should be relatively little to worry about in the long-term, but I am more concerned.

It's not obvious to me that it will backfire for them, because I believe LLMs are good at some things (that is, when they are used correctly, for the correct tasks). Currently they're being applied to far more use cases than they are likely to be good at -- either because they're overhyped or our corporate lords and masters are just experimenting to find out what they're good at and what not. Some of these cases will be like chess, but others will be like code*.

(* not saying LLMs are good at code in general, but for some coding applications I believe they are vastly more efficient than humans, even if a human expert can currently write higher-quality less-buggy code.)

yeah exactly. very MCR.

Eh, dislike this because outlets make claims about the future all the time based on what they think is most probable. I don't think that's lying in general. I would be more swayed that this is lying if they actually thought it was plausible that Trump would do this, and denied it.

You could have let this be a top-level comment, but you chose to make it directly a response to mine about how I'm interested in hearing about people who didn't always know. Why did you do that.

Kay but that's honestly a pretty awesome getup. It's only cringe in retrospect knowing what we know now. If I saw someone like this on the street I'd think, "slay, dude."

humanity knows this. That's why I said heuristic. There's not enough time to figure everything out by ourselves, that's why we operate well as a team.
