Unseen,

Let’s say that The Guardian is correct in everything it says. The Gazans can’t leave because Egypt doesn’t want Hamas tunnels and weapons in their territory and has built barriers and walls between themselves and Gaza. The possibility of fishing is precluded by the prospect of Hamas supporters smuggling arms in to Hamas, and the farming…[Read more]

@Jake

Tell you what: I won’t use Al Jazeera as a source if you won’t use Jerusalem Post.

How do you distinguish between people and sources like me who decry the actions of the Israeli government and people who simply hate Jews. It appears to me that, to you, there’s no difference.

Look what the BBC does. It does not surprise me one iota. Have read and hears all about their celebration of Jew hating. It is either an explicit or a silent conspiracy from the lefties all over the world. I see how CNN and MSNBC frames all of the issues concerning Israel and Gaza. Jew hate sells big time. I used to think wow Fox is shameless. But…[Read more]

@Enco

The mathematics of famine are simple in Gaza. Palestinians cannot leave, war has ended farming and Israel has banned fishing, so practically every calorie its population eats must be brought in from outside.

Israel knows how much food is needed. It has been calibrating hunger in Gaza for decades, initially calculating shipments to exert…[Read more]

This accidental find is for @jakelafort

Jake,

John Spenser prose sheds much-needed light on the differences between the deliberate horrors of genocide and the incidental horrors of war.

Your poetic prose, back on laser focus, provides a kaleidescope of perspective on AI.

Until AI can express thoughts like these without prompting, it is not an equal, much less worthy of being a…[Read more]

The promise of the laser’s lambent came and went.

Jake,

Yes Enco,

I am serious. Not as presently constituted obviously. That would require programming. And programming means human biases. The next generation of Gazans could easily become model citizens.

I am thinking the future if these predictions concerning the trajectory of AI are accurate. I truly do think we are on a collision course…

‘We are not dog’s’: Palestinians condemn humiliation of chasing after airdropped aid in Gaza
https://www.cnn.com/2025/07/28/world/video/gaza-aid-airdrops-israel-digvid

Well, if Hamas didn’t attack and commandeer aid shipments and sell aid on the black market for arms and tunnels, perhaps aid could get through by other means.

Enco,

Here is a creditable evaluation of the genocide lie.

What a sick fucking world. The obsession with Israel/jews while serious crimes against humanity of a far greater magnitude and despicable indefensible nature are occurring encapsulates the stupidity of humanity. If it were still the British there, the Turks, and for sure Arab Muslims…[Read more]

I’ve been saying for at least a year, but it bears repeating, although it is just my opinion. The danger of AI won’t be the fault of AI, but bad actors. How Putin wants to influence it with misinformation is just…[Read more]

Unseen,

Two other considerations here:

Not merely are all the tentacles of the UN biased against Israel, but if media outlets and the NGOs get all their information from Hamas, this also poisons the well since Hamas is long known to manipulate photos of casualties from sources distant to conflict, attributed their own rocket striking a hospital…[Read more]

The elastic stochastic anti-fantastic world of LLM’s.

It has been interesting interacting with an LLM. It is apparent to me the bias that it promotes. Whenever i challenge it other than one instance it agrees with me. It is way too nice and complimentary. And yet it is so easy to have the feeling i am chatting with a human or at least a…[Read more]

@Simon. The Pravda Network in Russia is a huge misinformation ecosystem.  It is mostly automated and produces up to 10,000 articles every day. The process is known as “LLM grooming”.  More to read here.

Unseen,

Food insecurity does not equal starvation. Also, consider the source of this insecurity.

Every tenacle of the UN is already biased against Israel. And in fact the UN and Hamas are the main reasons why aid isn’t getting in:

Israel will allow nations to drop food into…[Read more]
