Get the fuck out of here with your nuance. You have no business being on the internet.

/s (in case it isn’t obvious)

The West can jerk itself off at the thought of being “civilized” as much as it wants, but it never was “civilized”. Imperialism has always been barbaric and we’re seeing another example of it in Palestine.

He’s right.

He’s going to say that slave labor is absolutely essential to economic development next…

What a fucking moron.

Lol oh jesus. I’m not going to bother entertaining you any further because:

  1. You’re the one that’s made up their mind about painting me as somebody that isn’t aware how war crimes investigations work even though you’ve repeatedly failed to prove whatever you’re trying to prove.

  2. You’ve also failed to address criticism I’ve made about your position by answers such as “that’s just not how it works” or “It will happen when it happens” while failing to provide any evidence backing those claims.

  3. You’re deflecting and jumping point to point just to prove you’re correct.

  4. Lastly, you’re talking out of your ass when you clearly have no have idea how any of this will pan out.

Later.

Setting up an investigation over something does not mean it will happen, especially when the area is under siege and the risk of evidence disappearing increases with each bomb dropped. I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at here? Is it the just that they’ve set up an initiative to investigate all war crimes? Cool, again, for the third time, when is that going to happen?

We’re going in circles because you aren’t acknowledging the deplorable conditions, lack of access and the eventual removal/destruction of evidence that could have helped shed light and convict both sides. But, for some reason, you’re trying to convince of something that is either irrelevant or useless.

I’m not upset, but I’m poking at the lip service and inaction of holding people accountable, which typically becomes the case when the West’s interests are at stake.

Right? All this shitting on Turkey for not cutting ties with Hamas but nobody bats a fucking eye at the US sending fucking bunker busters to Israel so that they can bomb schools and hospitals.

And then they wonder why the likes of Hamas exist like some moronic existential question of liberty and life. Jfc.

Turkey shouldn’t cozy up to Hamas, US shouldn’t cozy up to Israel. Enough.

That’s convenient isn’t it? Lay seige, let nobody in and then “wait” for a war crimes investigation instead of creating channels for an independent investigation when everybody in the world was asking for one, see numerous hospital and school bombings from example. This is the same Israel that didn’t let aid into Gaza, if you have trouble recalling how generous and compliant they are.

Ironically, war crimes investigation in an active war zone is a thing.

This is exactly it. And it’s funny you’re getting downvoted.

We don’t truly know the depth of ML yet and how these general models could potential change when a few vectors in the equation change, and that’s the big unknown with it. I agree with you here that Gates’ opinion is just that and isn’t particularly well informed. Especially in comparison to what some of the industry and ML experts are saying about how far we can go with the models, how they will evolve as we change parameters/vectors/dependencies and the impact of that evolution on potential applications. It’s just too early.

Feels like a slap on the wrist for, you know, stealing actual fucking land violently.

It’s something, but there’s so much much much more that can be done.

We’re in 2023. I assume you aren’t aware of how a decade old news isn’t relevant to the discussion anymore.

You seem to indicate it will happen. I’m asking when?

[–] generalpotato 2 points 1 year ago

Asking for accountability when war crimes and a genocide is being overlooked isn’t “whataboutism”. Maybe you’d know that if you knew what the term actually meant.
