@BowTiedYukon Or maybe you should understand the context that he said this in. He is quoting Will Durant. Come on guys, you can hate the Jews and be cool, but at least be objective.

“The big mistake that people make is still thinking the Jews are the chosen people. They were, but they rejected their inheritance. They refused to accept Christ. In the beginning, they were the chosen people but once, according to the father of the church they apostatized and rejected Christ they ceased being the chosen religion and now it’s transferred to Christian’s who believe in Christ”

@CreeCoder It should work for both replies and posts. Automated AI replies are arguably much more annoying. It brings nothing to the discussion to read same AI replies made by Indian bots who are barely sentient.

@curtis_yarvin These people will die for their retardation. It was obviously an active target and he for some reason stood by it. No one targeted him intentionally, why would Israel do this? They don't need any more bad press currently.

He stood on a bridge with an artillery hole in it.
To report on the targeting of bridges.
Then IDF put another penetrator in the hole.
He has “absolutely no doubt” that this was aimed at him. BRB renewing my NYT subscription

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions. But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

LLM based AI is NOT conscious.
I co-founded a company literally called Sentient, we're building reasoning systems for AGI, so believe me when I say this.
I keep seeing smart people, people I genuinely respect, come out and say that AI has crossed into some kind of awareness. That it feels things, that we should worry about it going rogue. And i think this whole conversation tells us way more about ourselves than it does about AI.
These models are wild, i won't pretend otherwise. But feeling human and actually having inner experience are completely different things and we're confusing the two because our brains literally can't help it. We evolved to see minds everywhere and now that wiring is misfiring on language models.
I grew up in a philosophical tradition that has thought about consciousness longer than almost any other, and this is the part that really frustrates me about the current conversation.
The entire framing of "does AI have consciousness?" assumes consciousness is something you build up to by adding more layers of complexity. In Vedantic philosophy it's the opposite. You don't build toward consciousness. Consciousness is already there, more fundamental than matter or energy. Everything else, including computation, is downstream of it.
When someone tells me AI is "waking up" because it generated a paragraph that felt real, what they're telling me is how thin our understanding of consciousness has gotten. We've reduced a question humans have wrestled with for thousands of years to "did the output sound like it had feelings?" It's math that has gotten really good at predicting what a conscious being would say and do next. Calling that consciousness cheapens something that Vedantic, Buddhist, Greek and Sufi thinkers spent millennia actually sitting with.
We didn't build something that thinks. We built a mirror and right now a lot of very smart people are mistaking the reflection for something looking back.

@NapoleonBonabot Yeah. The Russo-Chinese alliance was always a faux alliance out of necessity, rather than actual common similarities, since Chinese don't share any similarities with West/Europe. This will most likely be the century of Russo-American alliance, believe it or not.

The end of the Russo-Ukrainian War and Russia aligning with the US to isolate China is nearing

@DudeWhoInvests It makes perfect sense, gold was never a reserve currency, it's heavily manipulated and it always was, just as any other currency (Bitcoin comes to mind)

Makes LITERALLY ZERO sense. GOLD the hedge for geopolitical instability is crashing in the face of geopolitical instability. Can’t make this up.

@ShillingtonLevy @stunfiskZzz @ZoomCelled @bizlet7 They are not hitting American bases anymore, they are hitting soft targets of non involved countries in goal of trying to cause panic in the world. I don't really know what else is there to say. I don't approve of any war by the way.
English
In the context of American bases and battle points installed on their axis? They hit one enemy and is the other close enough? And ask around about guys who hit civilians literally not in involved in anything. Elevate your thinking...Who would bother preaching to the deluded.. Run along.

We’re going to see levels of Anti Semitism and Anti Americanism that theoretically was thought impossible.

@araghchi In reality, you made your Arab neighbors hate you more than they hate Israel, this isn't a great chess strategy as you think it is. Hopeful that war will end soon and no civilians are injured, but this kind of behavior is unacceptable on any civilizational level on both sides.
English
Our response to Israel's attack on our infrastructure employed FRACTION of our power. The ONLY reason for restraint was respect for requested de-escalation.
ZERO restraint if our infrastructures are struck again.
Any end to this war must address damage to our civilian sites.

@Adam19784 @KevDrinksCorona @keepemspchless3 @Megatron_ron Let's say that Iran gets a nuclear weapon, and let's say that they have the capability to start a nuclear war. We can see their actions when they don't have one, what would stop them from starting it?
English
@KevDrinksCorona @keepemspchless3 @PrometheanPrt @Megatron_ron The idea is those neighbours will start to apply pressure on Israel & its puppet to de-escalate. Iran can’t attack the USA & was never a direct threat, see Joe Kent. Israel led Trump up the garden path, finally after 40years of the same BS from Israel a US president listened.
English
JUST IN:
🇮🇷🇺🇸🇮🇱 Iran announced that if Israel and US once again attack the Iranian energy infrastructure they will destroy all the infrastructure in the middle east for good
“We warn the enemy that you made a major mistake by attacking the energy infrastructure of Iran.
Iran had no intention of expanding the scope of the war to oil facilities and did not want to harm the economies of friendly & neighboring countries.
However, after US/Israel’s aggression on Iran’s energy sector, Iran has effectively entered a new phase of the war, and struck energy facilities linked to the United States and American shareholders.
The responses are underway and is not over yet. If terrorism against Iran is repeated again, the next attacks on your energy infrastructures and that of your allies will not stop until their complete destruction.”
English
@NeoMatrixS @Megatron_ron Arab states and Iran hate each other's guts, even before the war. People think that Arabs are a utopian monolith are just so naive, it's not even funny.
English
@PrometheanPrt @Megatron_ron They should attack Israel’s energy infrastructure first, before attacking their neighbors.
Otherwise Israel will continue with attack on Iranian oil/gas industry hoping to start wars between Arab states and Iran.
English
@stunfiskZzz @ShillingtonLevy @ZoomCelled @bizlet7 It is literally Iran who hits civilian/industrial targets of non involved countries, most who have favorable opinions of them. You could maybe give a better argument, but I don't think you all are capable.
English
@SX_Suffix @FrankJohns42354 @ZoomCelled @bizlet7 I know what their reasoning is, I am not stupid, but it is not in any way or form acceptable to have them be able to do this and hold whole world a hostage, don't care what you think of Israel or US or if the world is fair, it's not.

@AGHamilton29 This is some massive intricate psyop instigated by someone, there is no other explanation. Literally everything they say is wrong and can be easily verified. We have satellite and other tracking means to easily determine where the missiles came from, it's just ridiculous.

@nick_matau @joekent16jan19 @TuckerCarlson They were literally admitting to it for years, I don't know why this is even in question.

I am a Nuclear Engineer. I will be more than happy to challenge @joekent16jan19 about Iran's nuclear capabilities. I know he won't accept, nor will @TuckerCarlson. So anyone who thinks this same position!
(Aka, yes Iran was absolutely aiming for a nuclear weapon)
Ounka@OunkaOnX
Tucker: "Was Iran about to get a nuke?" Kent: "No. They've had a religious ruling against it since 2004. We had no intelligence that it was being disobeyed." So the entire war-the thousands dead, the billions spent, the American soldiers buried-was based on nothing. No nukes. No threat. Just a lie sold to justify a war that was always for Israel

@Aelthemplaer Please explain why it would go badly. IRGC is completely battered, though not defeated, but morale is low.

If this goes as badly as we all expect, you could see a legit cia-military overthrow of the government - and I think most people will be for it.
