The Israeli army is using AI systems to mark tens of thousands of Palestinians as potential targets for assassination. But the AI targeting systems have almost no human oversight and seem to be extremely permissive when it comes to casualties, regularly slaughtering entire families.
AI is being used to improve target tracking and kill rates of anyone Israel deems to be enemy combatants. Israeli company Smart Shooter has developed an AI-powered “smart” weapon sight that can be installed on any basic gun to transform it into a far more deadly AI precision-guided firearm.
Nvidia recently announced plans to build a massive tech campus in northern Israel that will be home to AI research and development projects.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has described Israel as the company’s “second home.”
From Gaza to now Iran and Lebanon, Israel is expanding its testing ground for AI-enabled military technology in terrifying ways.

Ohhhh so this is what the AI in AIPAC stands.for
Plausibly deniable indiscriminate killing machine.

I couldn’t agree more, unfortunately it’s not just tax dollars it’s big tech corporations who profit off war and genocide who are culpable too

AI technology has played a central role in Israel’s assault on innocent civilians in Lebanon, Iran, Gaza.
Israel is one of the world’s leading hubs for AI development. In 2024, there were over 2,300 AI startups active in Israel. Since then, that number has only risen as VCs pour billions into AI

Instead of buying your kid a smartphone encourage them to build their own device! There are so many amazing creative examples rn
Starting a thread of the coolest cyberdecks I’ve seen online. First up this incredible one by bossratbimbo on X
Oh no I’m so sorry about those messages that’s awful. Especially for the people suffering with health issues they deserve to be treated with respect. They’re not making things up
Amazon's price predicting algorithm, "Nessie", was paused
during the holiday shopping season and Prime Day, when it feared customers or journalists might notice the price increases, then turned back on once attention died
down.
NEW: How exactly has Alex Jones avoided paying the Sandy Hook families a single dime of what he owes? I wrote about it here, and spoke to Chris Mattei, an attorney for some of the families, and Lenny Pozner, the father of the youngest child who died at Sandy Hook: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
They cannot be serious with these
Ahhh ok perfect will read! I think the sound issue is a big problem with data centers that needs to be addressed, but I’m not an expert on the infrasound stuff so wanted to learn more. Thank uuuu! 🙌🏻💓
I know Andy is funded by a billionaire (such is the world these days) but it would be helpful for those of us following along to learn more info. I’ve found Andy to be a pretty good faith operator. Anyway appreciate your work so much and I am an eternal fan!!
Prior to the data center discussion, the only convo I’ve seen re infrasounds is from people fighting against wind turbines. This was/is a BIG topic in that community, but most scientists seem to cast doubt on the harms. So I think it’s helpful if u break stuff down for those of us who want to learn
I’m a big fan of your videos and I have spoken to people myself who are suffering bc of the sound from data centers. So I definitely agree it’s a huge problem. But I would love to see more info abt the infrasound stuff especially digging into what the research says vs don’t 🙏.
Omg sorry I will unblock you I just needed a time out! I’m happy VCs are funding media experiments (I support all the TBPN knockoffs!). Hopefully the people at MTS realize that having a rotating cast of a16z people ranting about the NYT is not good content and pivot into more interesting stuff
I am cited in The American Journal of Medicine in a piece about a woman experiencing “skibidi chest pain.”
I’m on a juicy women’s memoir kick. Have just finished:
ADULT BRACES (Lindy West)
STRANGERS (Belle Burden)
FAMESICK (Lena Dunham)
What should I read next?!?!
Public pension funds in over half of U.S. states hold billions of dollars in Palantir stock, according to @Sludge.
Public workers in several of these states, like Maine, New Jersey, New York, and Oregon, are protesting the fact that their pension funds are being funnel to this dangerous company.
