DSingularity··on US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists
I know that’s true in theory. But in reality this has become the mainstream interpretation to the point where we see the same take from Israeli government ministers. It’s certainly become mainstream in Israeli right-wing circles and the right-wing has ruled Israel for ever basically.

How will things change?

DSingularity··on US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists
I think at this point we have reached Israel needs to stand down and take a long view of things.

Is this working? Israel stole the land. Israel got away with the murder of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Israel has the upper hand but its policy of violent repression and aggressive expansion has created for itself millions of enemies. Will this stand the test of time? Logic says no. So abandon this course while you still have time.

It is possible to live in peace.

Fact: millions of Palestinians displaced by the haganah, Irgun, and the lehi terrorists now live in refugee camps while the Israelis live on their lands and in their houses.

Everything else you wrote is just a bunch of propaganda to distract from the central issue. If you have a problem with the Turks take it up with them. The Palestinians however have a problem with you because you came from Europe and stole their land and killed their people. Address that and don’t ramble about what some non-Palestinians did hundreds of years ago.

You stop lying. He did not support the establishment of a Jewish state to rule by violence and terrorism over a majority that is non-Jewish.

I met an old Palestinian man who still works manual, hard labor. Both his sisters were killed by Israeli Air Force bombing. His family was displaced from Haifa during the nakba. Most his elder brothers were kicked out of Palestine decades ago due to their resistance. Do you know what he spent most of his time in discussion complaining about? How his best friend hurt him years ago and caused him lots of frustrating harm. His best friend was an Israeli. They worked together for many years. He is fully fluent in Hebrew. He had so much to say about his old friend that I think what he hated the most was losing his friend.

People move on if you let them.

Stop killing Palestinians. Stop the settler terrorism. Share Jerusalem and stop antagonizing its people. Admit that your Likud party are a bunch of Fascist, genocidal, maniacs and prosecute them. Give Palestinians the right to return.

Let some time pass and many Palestinians will befriend Israelis and vice versa. And when a Palestinian militant group tries to resist with violence again don’t start murdering civilians. Just treat with them. With time the Palestinians will demand that the violent resistance stops. People just want to live.

I’ve only seen these kinds of mental gymnastics from Zionists who are forced into this non-coherent blabber to distract from their inhumanity. You must destroy peace for nearly a century to have peace? But then we haven’t had peace for a hundred years genius.

Keep pretending like your murder of children is the way towards peace. The rest of the world will just look at it with disgust.

Israel has not achieved peaceful with its neighbors. Israel has achieved peace with the dictatorship governments that rule over their neighbors.

The people of Jordan and Egypt resent the Israelis because of what the Israelis do to the Palestinians on a daily basis. You know settle their lands, destroy their houses, uproot their trees, murder their children, starve their civilians, etc etc.

Stop trying to revise history. The Jews in Palestine were living happily alongside the Muslims. Problems didn’t start until the European Jews arrived to implement Zionism.

The end of Ottoman Empire was decades before Zionist terrorists founded Israel (Lehi, Irgun, Haganah). These are facts.

Israel was founded on theft and by ethnically cleansing Palestine of its indigenous people through non-stop atrocities and terrorism. Literally most of Israel’s first prime-minister were terrorists. Even Jews like Einstein recognized this at the time and refused to be associated with the Zionist project.

Just admit it and then it becomes possible to find a solution that doesn’t require murdering tens of thousands of Palestinian children to ethnically cleanse Palestinians that won’t give up their right to return.

DSingularity··on First thoughts on o3 pro

Who said that? How is this style of discussion even productive?

We can all go back and forth about which nations abuse their people the most. You can point to LGBT and someone can point to American prisoner counts. Why does it matter? Stay on topic?

DSingularity··on US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists
Unfortunately I don’t think he is capable of what you are asking him to do. Remember that the majority of the Israeli population think Israel hasnt gone far enough in Gaza. Yes that’s after starvation and murdering over 30k women and children. On top of that most Israelis see no problem with the Nakba which is the origin of the problem as it displaced the majority of Palestinians turning them into scattered refugees who were robbed of their land and property.

Such mindsets would never allow for achieving peace with neighbors through any strategy that isn’t built around dominance through violence.

DSingularity··on US-backed Israeli company's spyware used to target European journalists
Nobody is disputing that at all. That’s just a byproduct of zero-sum games and at least the fact that victims of abuse tend to grow into abusers themselves.

The problem is the blanket statement which effectively becomes “the ordained group of humans can have these tools while the others we judge as less-than and prohibit”. The more they talk the more they reveal about their views which are either outright racist or extremely disingenuous when it comes to obvious historical contexts.

An incredible self awareness for you to write “There's also nothing inherently wrong with selling intelligence tools to a western government, Italy is not Iran or Zambia”.

I wonder how Iran or Zambia feel about the west? The overthrow of their democracy. The colonial exploitations. Are those legit grievances in your eyes? Or are you a “take up the white mans burden” kind of person?

Thanks! The thing that made me consider them were some deep dives into their ovens and counter top cooking surfaces. Those actually do seem superior. Have you compared them?
DSingularity··on Claude 4
It’s starting to go mainstream. Which means more general population is given feedback on outputs. So my guess is people are less likely to downvote things they disagree with when the LLM is really emphatic or if the LLM is sycophantic (towards user) in its response.

DSingularity··on How University Students Use Claude
I think that’s a good idea too and effectively that is the same outcome when the quizzes shape the distribution.
DSingularity··on How University Students Use Claude
This is now reality -- fighting to change the students is a losing battle. Besides in terms of normalizing grade distributions this is not that complicated to solve.

Target the cheaters with pop quizzes. Prof can randomly choose 3 questions from assignments. If students cant get enough marks on 2/3 of them they are dealt a huge penalty. Students that actually work through the problems will have no problems with scoring enough marks on 2/3 of the questions. Students that lean irresponsibly on LLMs will lose their marks.

DSingularity··on US Administration announces 34% tariffs on China, 20% on EU
Nobody has faith in the governments ability to put that money to good use. The US gov uses significant amounts of its budget to fund weapon development, promote weapon sales, change unfriendly foreign governments, support friendly foreign governments, and genocide troublesome foreign populations. Who will support raising more taxes to maintain and expand such efforts?

No. That’s not correct. Hallucination is a pretty accurate way to describe these things.
DSingularity··on Penn to reduce graduate admissions, rescind acceptances amid research cuts
Do you think there are systemic problems in the executive branch of the US government? Wasteful, bloated structures? Agency overreach? Criminal lack of transparency? War-mongering security services? Revolving doors? What do you think about the fact that neither political party ever tries to solve these issues in substantial ways when it is in power? Don’t you find it odd that once someone is in power and is actually trying to do something about it they are attacked from all sides? Could it be that they are imperfect but they are not being attacked for the flaws in their approach/execution but rather because they are threatening structures the ruling class are exploiting?
