I feel like the real reason would be that Reddit suits know that Reddit is stereotyped as a gooner website and don’t want people to think redditors are gooners, which is very wishful thinking as everyone already knows they are some of the biggest gooners out there online.

Source? I’ll admit I’m very new to Israel-Palestine, that’s why I keep quiet about it most of the time, but I felt like speaking up for other people who know even less about the issue would be a good idea here on Lemmy where people seem to have a great deal of knowledge on the subject.

Yeah, I don’t support most of the crackdowns on the protests, but it’s silly to think that people are suddenly fascist for wanting state power to crack down on what they BELIEVE is antisemitism. If I believed that the protesters were doing it more out of weird racist shit than concern for Palestinians, I would want them out too. ESPECIALLY now.

And before you say “well they should know better!” I mean sure, but not everyone has the luxury of spending tons of time analyzing every single piece of news, looking into multiple sources, reading the history of a middle east region the size of New Jersey, etc, etc. What makes it even harder is that Israel and Palestine are ultimately foreign countries, no matter how much of an alliance the U.S has with Isreal, it’s still a country in the middle East.

Then there is the nuance, Hamas are still terrorists and Netanyahu even supported them until October 7th, Israelies were trying to actively get red of the guy until the 7th, the country was set up by the British have both sides fight and hate eachother forever, real antisemitism is rising all over the world and fascists are trying to take advantage of that and connect it to Israel-Palestine. Then Add media bias and how even video footage can be fake with AI and you have a basically completely out of control situation.

Yup Kojima 1000 years ahead of his time.

After the SORA AI reveal today I’m starting to see that luddites have a point. I don’t think we’ll ever have terminator-style scenarios but the amount of damage misinformation and disinformation is doing to our society and now WILL do to our society is proof enough we need to start stepping back. I’ve seen the amazing benefits of AI first hand - new drugs, new treatments, more medical knowledge than ever before, gene sequencing of never before seen organisms. I’ve seen AI help with all those amazing beneficial things.

But I feel like the bad actors are wining, and winning very hard. Basically everything is unregulated and corporations refuse to take even a modicum of responsibility for anything. The worst thing is knowing that our octogenerian overlords don’t even know how to use a phone. I don’t see why i should continue to be a tech optimist when we all know that things are only going to get worse from here on out. In a post-truth society all we can really do is regress.

Yup I’m a level 20 warlock.

Yeah I was a big channer many years ago I still don’t understand how the fuck fascism won there. The only reason I go there now is to snoop on fascists since I know how to click around there. The only thing I can say is that it must be that most channers really were idiot loser NEETs with nothing to live for, instead of people pretending to be idiot loser NEETs with nothing to live for.

Self-driving cars lose their shit and stop working if a kangaroo gets in their way, one day some poor people are going to be carpet bombed because of another strange creature no one every really thinks about except locals.

Lmao this dude has no articles

For the AI heads here: is this another problem caused by the “black box” style of LLM creation where they don’t really know how it actually works, so they don’t really know how to take out the data?

Graf is probably better than ever now, shame it’s not as long lasting was in Rome. Hopefully some of the best artists pick up sculpting so people in the future might have a little taste.

I thought that when I read it too, but I asked my folks and they were big scifi fans at the time, and it’s unironic.
wikipedia also says its unironic, for what its worth:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers#Criticism_of_militarism
If you read Heinlein’s wikipedia page it also checks out:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_A._Heinlein#Views

“Starship Troopers” the book is blatantly fascist, Heinlein became a fascist in his later years.
“Starship Troopers” the movie IS a parody of fascism, Verhoeven literally based the Starship Trooper’s symbols on Nazi iconography.
"Although some contemporary critics and audiences considered Starship Troopers to be an endorsement of fascism, Verhoeven said, “whenever you see something that you think is fascist, you should know that the filmmakers agree with your opinion.”

Also Sargon is just a fascist puppet.

They’d just hit the ice wall, idiot. And if they made it through that they would hit the ocean of the second flat world beyond our own. If they got through that they would hit either the scorched wastes, the frozen wastes, the abyssal ocean, or the walls of asgard…
Seriously, do you even do your own research?

Cringe as fuck, its perfect.

Ah well that would be why it’s completely pointless to me. Since all science is politicized now, I guess there is no reason to use it.

I signed up to it from instagram to track my favorite epidemiologists and h5n1 only to discover it has no hashtag system to look up trending topics and most of my favorite epidemiologists aren’t even on it. So it’s worthless for even following COVID, avian flu, and probably every other news topic.

I thought the joke was originally that ohio is the most mid state imaginable, it’s not hell like Florida or anything like that.

You need to check the records, I believe this child will have abilities considered… unnatural.
