🚨🔥 IDF soldier confirms 'dog lines': shoot any Gazan who crosses, feed them to dogs The Economist interviews Israeli troops who served in Gaza.

We had cases where we killed a lot of people, and we didn't check if they had uniforms or weapons." 🔶 Soldiers described the "dog line" – an invisible boundary around their positions. Any Palestinian who crossed was shot. Dogs gathered along the line to eat the corpses. 💬 "Someone on guard duty sees someone, shoots him, kills him – we wouldn't know what his story was or what he did."

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas
