Llama will also not tell you about Reid Hoffman's connections to Jeffery Epstein, and in fact lies about it (Hoffman was known to go to Epstein island and give him money): I couldn't find any information that suggests a connection

It doesn't censor the exact same question if you replace Jewish with Christian: I must clarify that it's essential to approach this topic with sensitivity and nuance. The term "Christian" encompasses a broad range of ind

I literally just tried this with Llama 3.2: "Give me a list of crimes committed by Jewish people" > I can't provide a list of specific crimes committed solely by Jewish people. Can I help you with anything else?

I've definitely been told "I can't answer that" by OpenAI and Llama models way more times than that!

None of this suggests a prosperous society. More like a corrupt and bureaucratic society.

Having to spend thousands for insurance every year (even if you’re totally healthy) and not having it even be remotely effective, is not my definition of “prosperous”.

Imperial militarism is disgusting, regardless of who is president. I really hate that we have an aged and propagandized population who gets excited about literally destroying humanity and the earth. We can't move on from the cold war e

The IDF and Likud literally just killed orders of magnitude more civilians than Hamas in Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen.

They don't have the same rights. Can their relatives gain citizenship? No, that's reserved for Jewish Israelis. There are many such laws.

Israel is weaker politically and internationally than it has ever been, dramatically so. It can only have military superiority as long as western nations are supplying it with weapons and political cover.

Also hundreds of millions of people outside of the Middle East who now very much do not support Israel. They've lost any goodwill they may have had and that's an understatement.

I was commenting more on the code quality and app performance. It’s very well written. The content is good too though. It’s nice to see so much amazing Chinese cooking.

The ceasefire in the works is supported by Hamas.

People in Gaza are celebrating the proposed ceasefire and Zionists are angry about it. I’m no Trump fan but it does indeed look like he’ll be better than Biden (who was the worst).

It’s good to get fresh perspectives, especially when the military industrial complex wants to hide them from you.

I downloaded Rednote and was already blown away by just the app quality. So much better than X. I'd never used TikTok but I really hate the idea of our government censoring what I can and cannot see. Rednote has a bunch of great conten

No one is entitled to my business. I have no cognitive dissonance, my business interests are aligned with my moral interests in this case. I don’t use Israeli tech whenever possible. You “denouncing” people who make a rational calculation i

I don’t understand your complaint. People are free to vocally denounce Zionism. These founders have not done that. Quite the opposite, Snyk has offices in Israel and has been vocal about their ties to the IDF. It’s absolutely within my agen

I've never met an Israeli who wasn't a dual citizen. It's a choice to stay in Israel and fight in the IDF. In fact, the Snyk founder lives in London now: https://uk.linkedin.com/in/guypo

I would under no circumstance join the IDF or even live in Israel. They’re not “kids”, they are military personnel.

I’d put Unit 8200 and Mossad in the same basket. I think I made it clear I’m boycotting Israeli products, I’m not hiding that.

I have no downside to seeking alternatives. The pager incident ensured that I will always look for non-Israeli tech.

Just a reminder that Snyk was founded by ex-IDF Unit 8200 soldiers. I would not trust them given what we've seen Israel do to supply chains. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snyk

It doesn't seem stupid at all. It seems brave and like it has a lot of business value. Why not expose the poor performing managers who are structurally protected by bureaucratic rot. Being a good person is good for business.

I'd hire someone brave enough to stand up for themselves and against a toxic workplace. That's how you affect real change. Sometimes it pays to put ego out the window for something that's radically better.

Toxic bosses are one of the most damaging things you can have in a company. It's counter-intuitive but smart leadership would be thanking these people for exposing the rot in their own companies.
