I, for one, am shocked. It's totally not the exact thing I wrote to my MP and said would happen because of their recent shitty policies.

‘Lavender’: The AI machine directing Israel’s bombing spree in Gaza The Israeli army has marked tens of thousands of Gazans as suspects for assassination, using an AI targeting system with little human oversight and a permissive policy for casualties, +972 and Local C...

The CTO of Palantir, the company involved in the creation of Lavender will be speaking at @sxsw.com in London in June.

Because apparently killing innocent civilians is hip now.

Yeah, it's almost too appalling for words, but thankfully I can think of a few. "Himmleresque" for example. That's a word.

If you're buying a ticket to SXSW, you're paying the wages of whoever thought it prudent to invite the CTO of the company that created an AI that is literally responsible for the death of thousands of women, children, and otherwise innocent civilians.

Here's an article about Israel's use of AI in the Gaza war, including "Lavender". I'm sure it will make for a sparkling panel talk in a hip Hoxton venue in June.

Palantir: the world's most evil company At the cutting edge of dystopia and genocide

But wait, there's more! Don't like the war in Gaza? Well, you'll be so pleased to know that Palantir is directly responsible for "Lavender" - Israel's murder AI that is in part responsible for the extremely high death toll in this current war.

@sxsw.com is coming to London and has decided to invite Palantir's CTO to speak about "AI in defence". (www.sxswlondon.com/session/how-...). How is this even remotely acceptable? If you don't know Palantir, this is the evil company that used Facebook to spread disinfo that led to Brexit & Trump

You too can write to Keir and tell him his comments about trans women were appalling: transactual.org.uk/write-to-the...

פאיצה!

The thing that breeds a law enforcement culture distinct from a crude imitation of war in the UK is the fact that with very few exceptions UK police don't carry guns.

Luigi to the rescue!

Elections? I'm loving your naive optimism here.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh

If you are a foreigner, you probably should not visit the U.S., but if you absolutely have to, you should “enter” at a pre-clearance site (like Ireland or Canada) so that you’re denied entry in a place where the U.S. government won’t detain you or confiscate your property.

Nature is healing

I honestly don't know what they're thinking. Maybe living here for nearly 35 years isn't enough to truly understand UK politics. The whole moralising pontification of it all is doing my head in. This is how we get a Reform (or Reform adjacent) government next elections.

@openout.bsky.social I'm your first follower, yay! :)

A human teacher is a must regardless of anything else. The fact that anyone would think they can get around providing those and replacing them with shitty AI slop is beyond dumb.

This is in no way an endorsement of AI being used for this purpose, but I'd have actually chosen that answer. That section is not a conclusion of the overall topic of conflict in literature, and that's what the question was about.

The Nazis invented a time machine.

I couldn't see the Rothschilds there for a second and got worried, but here they are! Phew.

That's perfect!

Well, I've stopped making fun of him on Twitter, I suppose. Seeing as I'm no longer there.

Nothing in this world is ever going to stop people from making fun of him.

China, I guess.
