Systems are also a tool. Whoever institutes and helps build the system that systematically results in harm is also responsible. That would be the vendors, the system planners, and the institutions that greenlit this. It would also include t

Hamas and PIJ are ridiculous sources to use in this case, I will not use them. Equally ridiculous is to use the IDF or the Biden admin as sources. They are also party to the war. Using Canadian and French government sources is less ridiculo

You have not presented any evidence, you're just claiming there is a consensus, and that it's foolproof. Please stop the posturing and produce something. As it is your post contains zero information content. Afaik, the cause of th

That is still not an alliance. The US and Qatar have an alliance, which is why the US has bases in Qatar. If the bases of a belligerent nation is in a neighboring nation, participating in operations, then the neighboring nation is not a neu

Qatar has never been allied with Iran. It has had economic partnerships, especially around the oil fields that Israel blew up, but that is not an alliance. Iran does not have military bases in Qatar.

The Al-Ahli hospital, the one that Israel tried to say was a PIJ missile that misfired? The Israeli propaganda was false in that case, and they probably hit the hospital. The PIJ missiles' ballistic trajectory did not match with the ho

And in fact, a handful of illegal targets get hit each day, according to HRANA. HRANA is an Iranian human rights org that was banned in Iran during an election and has since been re-established in the US. They are a reliable source. They pu

Not really irrelevant if the original question was whether this was "self defense".

Qatar is not a neutral nation. It is a US ally, and the US army has a big presence there, inclusing CENTCOM forward headquarters and air operations. The largest US base in the region is an air base in Qatar (which Iran has hit).

That's not what that quote means. I wouldn't normally point out things like that, but you are repeating points already made, and aren't responding to anything specific I wrote. If your argument is a "no you", then i

You're aware that surveys are a very small part of sociology? And that sociologists are very aware of the issues with them. The gold standard is register data, but sometimes that's not available. Still, in the countries it is, tha

Nobody said we should make everyone exactly equal, that's a lazy strawman. Some inequality will always exist, but it should at the very least have a healthy balance point where the poorest get to live a decent life. Currently, inequali

I agree that Vas. also talks about economics within the growth framework, but that's because it's how the economy is measured, and how other parties work. And so in order to collaborate, you must at least partially adopt the frame

What a coincidence, I'm also Finnish. Vas. definitely has degrowth as a part of their platform, and is often speaking against eternal growth and trying to get climate laws passed. They're only one party, and the last govt's m

There's been similar cases in physical sciences. E.g. all the room temperature superconductor stuff a few years back, Avi Loeb claiming that an object hurtling thorugh the solar system was alien technology. There's also more fraud

Social studies is a school subject, that's irrelevant. You really think sociology is not a science then? Sociologists do way more rigorous statistics than physicists do. They have to, because physical sciences deal with deterministic o

You're still making a leftist argument here, even if you end up dismissing the left as "corrupt" without pointing to anything specific. Maybe you have some personal difficulty identifying with the left? You're not wrong

You say it's not left v. right, but it sure sounds like you think the right is what's causing inequality. Which I agree with.

I think it's more fair to say that someone shows that a contributor has started to commit much more frequently and constantly breaking things, and that this corresponds to when they have started (self-reportedly) using LLM's for d

Not everything needs to be looked at from "both sides". Drew is correct, the impact of generative "AI" on society is overwhelmingly negative.

Don't put thing in quotes if they're not actual quotes. Especially not if you mischaracterize the article.

I think they may be referring to the story about how the US bombed an Iranian school on the dirst day of the war due to data sourced from an LLM.

If all art is derivative then the earlier statement is a tautology. People still call things other people do novel. There's clear social proof that humans do things that other humans consider novel. Otherwise the word would probably no
