Crack open a history book, start with the 1947 Shubaki family assassination by Zionist paramilitary. And then work your way forward through the back and forth reprisals, the UN Partition Plan for Palestine, and the 1947-1948 civil war in Mandatory Palestine.

Once you're caught up, reread your diatribe on Hamas. It is okay to be naive and have myoptic opinions initially, as long as you can also grow and learn.

Let's hope that few of them interact with their vehicle like its a person. Because if you're having a two-way conversation where your motorcycle tells you how smart and clever you are, that's almost certainly a mental illness.

The interface of chatbot LLMs is ultimately what differentiate it from calling your nation, battleship, rifle, car, etc. a "she". And we should tread very carefully in assigning human qualities to a machine that was trained to imitate and manipulate human beings.

And like I recommend time and time again. We have to regulate these chatbot LLMs because of the social costs to the psychological manipulation that is inherent to their very design.

Seinfeld went to Israel and visited the IDF camps where they train people to participate in genocide. That's not a joke, that's becoming directly involved in a crime against humanity.

That's not what "directly involved" means. Its tourism as best, and at worst: just Seinfeld being a shill.

You'll have to be clearer since both political extremes are calling the other nazis and such. And neither seems to use a 1945'ish definition, 'more a they don't agree with me and I really hate them' definition.

Yes, that's generally how it works. Although my family mainly gets called communist and anti-Semitic these days.

Most comics play both sides. In a semi-public social setting, they'll participate with a "yes, and" when it's racist, anti-woke, etc. And claim it is comedy. When you make light of the ridiculous positions that Bill Maher or Jerry Seinfeld have to their face, it's suddenly censorship or "evil" (Seinfeld's words LOL).
If you want an example of a comedian that is both funny and a decent person, check out Stavros Halkias. He might seem "woke" because he's not willing to play to decades old stereotypes for cheap laughs. But it turns out you can rip on people and poke fun and be "edgy" without using the nearest trans person as your punching bag.

tl;dr - old, washed up comedians aren't worth anyone's time.

We've dealt with machine proofs before, that's been a thing in the field of mathematics for decades. And the proof's value hinges on if it contributes to the advancement of human knowledge. If humans eventually understand the proof, great. If we have yet another proof that a human can't peel back to find broader principles, then the contribution is of minuscule value.

Submission + - AI slop or the future of development: Adobe Apps "re-implemented" in Rust (github.com) 1

jbarr writes: Looks like a team has used Claude Opus 5.5 to vibe-code "re-implementations" of several Adobe applications, including...

Acrobat > PrintCraft
Premier > FilmCraft

InDesign > DesignCraft

They released standalone versions for many platforms as well as web-hosted versions. They install and load extremely fast, and are surprisingly small. Since they have been out for only a few days, they are not 100% feature-complete, but the update rate has been fast.

Some say they will be sued quickly, but allegedly, the developers used Claude to recreate these apps without decompiling or reverse engineering, so that could be an interesting legal challenge to follow.

My Ninja coffee maker has a clock, nice little blue-green one. I set it maybe once and it is easy to do. But now I just let it show some completely wrong time because I don't need to time when my coffee will brew and I won't bother checking it for the time when I have like 20 other ways to find out
