bamboozledon Iran school bombing: grounds to believe US was behind atrocity, UN finds

The age of the country has nothing to do with a 10 year old conversion by, let's a face it a murderous thug regime who kills its own citizens for not wearing Burqa's, who are you kidding?

It wouldn't put it past me if the IRGC steered the USA towards the school for this to happen, that's the kind of people they actually are. They kill protestors, why wouldn't they kill a school full of kids, what's the difference to them?

bamboozledon Iran school bombing: grounds to believe US was behind atrocity, UN finds

In my opinion, a more responsible government would probably not continue to using an abandon military base as a school for this reason. I'm sure the thought had crossed someone's mind that something like this might happen.

I'm not trying to make excuses for the USA here, it's an abhorrent thing and I do agree, much more care should've been taken.

No one is suggesting other kids schools are "fair game" so just calm down a bit?

Isn't Ukraine basically just bearing the brunt of whatever would've happened to Germany if Ukraine didn't happen to be in the way. If you think this is only about Ukraine you're wrong.

It sounds insanely entitled to just talk about "money", you know how many Ukrainians have died and suffered so you can safely sit in Germany on your nice computer and whine about money?

It's still a different situation. In the example provided it seems like the car companies lobbied to make it a law that the "pedestrians" were at fault if they were hit for "jaywalking", thus absolving responsibility for pedestrian safety.

The equivalent to the "AI companies" pitch would've been the car companies lobbying to make cars much safer therefore raising the bar for competitors to join the market. Like if Henry Ford was the only person to own the patent for air bags and then lobbied hard to regulate that every car shipped with one.

Is it me or is it reckless to leave a school in part of an old military complex ? That seems negligent to me, for this exact reason.

Maybe it was intentional too ?

ah, I fail to see the parallels ?

Sorry, are you saying car companies begged to be regulated for safety , or they just followed guidelines and improved the safety of their cars without writing articles about how dangerous cars are and they should be taken off the road ?

Yup, this is and a blog post outlining how dangerous climate change is and how they need to be regulated immediately to stop global extinction.

bamboozledon Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption

I believe it will only accelerate the end of Putin and his regime, so I don't actually think this is good for Russia if it wasn't them.

bamboozledon Suspected sabotage causes major Netherlands rail disruption

European governments (and American) have been drumming up fear and hatred of Russia for more than 50 years.

Let's see Russia is actively committing genocide against Ukrainians, Actively commits war crimes against civilian infrastructure, Invaded Crimea, Shot down MH17 and murdered 283 innocent people, constantly broadcasted plans and imagery of nuking American cities, assassinated people in the UK using extremely dangerous nerve agents, is actively boasting about and planning sabotage within the European uninion against civilian targets...

So yeah,,,weird that people would be worried about them?

The plan is to turn Europe into a Pro Russia right wing empire before that happens though. AfD etc.

I built a house recently, I'm not sure how much fun that would've been if I couldn't visualize things before building certain features, yes I built it off plans but they're not 3d so being able to draw a 3d image in my head is extremely helpful.

bamboozledon Houthis used Anthropic to develop guided weapons

The reason people squash bugs with almost zero guilt is because they see the bugs as "nothing". If people voluntarily advertise themselves as "no things" or "just something" then you make the justification for similar treatment totally fine.

How do you think those who who commit genocide see their victims?

Then society should have the right to end your life as soon as you're no longer useful as you've just reduced yourself to an algorithm, what value do you serve if you're just a next word predictor ?

Reducing your self worth like that is a very stupid thing to do.

Ignorant question but won’t there be much smarter teams if people using LLMs to workout how to mitigate these threats. It seems like more of a problem if only a few people have access.
