- bamboozled 2mo agoI don't see how asking people to actually apply their outrage equally is being a useful idiot...

- inference-god 2mo agoExactly, people complaining that Israel are some elite evil force in the world while literally being outraged and influenced wholesale by the exact information campaigns they are upset with Israel for using... I really don't know how we're going to ever combat it. The main issue I see is there is a very very strong human tendency to "take sides" and "be part of something", and people have always worked out how to exploit that and use it for nefarious purposes. I'm just worried that with social media there is basically no way out and it's really looking dangerous for the time being.
- jbstack 2mo agoShooting the shooter? Are you suggesting that all of the tens of thousands of children killed in gaza were shooters? What I don't understand about these types of arguments is that it's not clear who you are trying to convince. Those who already agree with you don't need convincing, and the rest of us aren't going to buy into it what's obviously contradicted by overwhelming evidence which even international courts agree with. I suspect these attempts to influence LLMs will fail for the same reason: you can produce as much "think tank" material as you like, but in the end the LLM will reason about it in the wider context of other available information, and see the think tank propaganda for what it is. All the more so now that there are articles discussing this very point (which the LLM will also presumably see).

- nielsbot 2mo agoNo one is more entitled to self-defense in this completely lopsided conflict between Israel and the Palestinians under occupation than the Palestinians themselves. And yet Israel, having carved out the core of Palestine, gets billions in bombs from Western backers while crying that their neighbors won't just lie down in the dirt and die. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62I61kBahNY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62I61kBahNY
