Really? I think it’s more that they don’t get the social media and news traction that outrageous shit like their (minority extremist) opposition gets. Folks like Lander and Sanders regularly speak out about Israeli atrocities. Myriad organizations like JVP, INN, and more are among the most active organized voices trying to get this shit to stop. Bunds are popping up literally all over the world and fundamentally anti-Zionist and most stand in solidarity with Palestine. This narrative that Jews are silently condoning Israeli ethnosupremecist fascism is a made up one that serves only to benefit a minority of extremists and Zionists.

Yes, you’re right. It’s a word that is perfectly appropriate here, though, imo.

I dunno, I’m willing to admit I’m wrong and misinterpreted their post, but even rereading it and their other post in this thread really still feels like they’re using Jews and Israelis/Zionists pretty interchangeabley.

Why are you equivocating Jews and Zionists. This just continues to enable the Israeli-championed narrative that anti-Zionism is antisemitism. Stop.

Just FYI, it’s really weird to refer to Jews as Hebrews. And apartheid is inherent to the Israeli ethnostate, and fascism is inherent to political Zionism and always has been. This was a criticism levied at zionists, within the Jewish community, before world war 2 even.

That is not what judges have said. They’ve said that merely training on text is not a copyright infringement. However, companies that downloaded enormous amounts of pirated texts (i.e., stuff they did not have license to download in the first place) still infringed copyright just like anybody else. Effectively the courts have been holding that if you study material you have license to access, you aren’t infringing, but if you pirate that material, even if it is merely to study it, it’s still infringing. For better or worse this is basically basically how it’s always been.

I have no idea what Trump is proposing. Like most republicans, but especially him, he is incapable of even approaching understanding of nuanced and technical areas of law and/or technology.

This parallel long predates Israel itself, or even the holocaust. In the early 20th century, there are many letters in yiddish, and other public statements fun within the Jewish community, that were sent to yiddish newspapers criticizing zionism for using parallel language to “Hitlerism” and similar movements that were spreading across Europe.

I agree. I’m generally pretty indifferent to this new generation of consumer models–the worst thing about it is the incredible amount of idiots flooding social media witch hunting it or evangelizing it without any understanding of either the tech or the law they’re talking about–but the people who use it so frequently for so many fundamental things that it’s observably diminishing their basic competencies and health is really unsettling.

And if he doesn’t walk it back, it effectively collapses the economy so not like market investments will mean jack shit anyhow

It’s kind of mind blowing how dismissive of the ACA people are, even those who were aware before it went into effect. It wasn’t by any means what it should have been, but medical access unequivocally improved vastly as a result of it.

Daggerheart is not at all a PbtA game, though it borrows elements. It borrows pretty heftily from a lot of predecessors besides 5e, like pbta, fitd, cypher/numenera, and SWRPG/Genesys. With imo the last one sharing the most DNA.

Diffusion models iteratively convert noise across a space into forms and that’s what they are trained to do. In contrast to, say, a GPT that basically performs a recursive token prediction in sequence. They’re just totally different models, both in structure and mode of operation. Diffusion models are actually pretty incredible imo and I think we’re just beginning to scratch the surface of their power. A very fundamental part of most modes of cognition is converting the noise of unstructured multimodal signal data into something with form and intention, so being able to do this with a model, even if only in very very narrow domains right now, is a pretty massive leap forward.

A quick search turns up that alpha fold 3, what they are using for this, is a diffusion architecture, not a transformer. It works more the image generators than the GPT text generators. It isn’t really the same as “the LLMs”.

It’s interesting to me that NYC, Jewish, and gay/lesbian all had the same wildly incorrect estimate on average.

It won’t tell us what to do, it’ll do the very complex thing we ask it to. The biggest issues facing our species and planet atm all boil down to highly complex logistics. We produce enough food to make everyone in the world fat. There is sufficient shelter and housing to make everyone safe and secure from the elements. We know how to generate electricity and even distribute it securely without destroying the global climate systems. What we seem unable to do is allocate, transport, and prioritize resources to effectively execute on these things. Because they present very challenging logistical problems. The various disciplines underpinning AI dev, however, from ML to network sciences to resource allocation algorithms making your computer work, all are very well suited to solving logistics problems/building systems that do so. I really don’t see a sustainable future where “AI” is not fundamental to the logistics operations supporting it.

Probable cause for ICE means a real and reasonable apprehension that if they don’t make the arrest then, the individual is likely to flee were they to seek a judicial order or warrant. This is literally impossible to have in premeditated raids. The very act of planning and premeditation necessarily means they had time to seek a warrant before arrest. This person is full of shit and fully deserves to be “litigated in the streets.” May they suffer the lack of peace they deserve.

This is fucked up, but also it’s fucked up that there is a single public policy ducked director for Israel AND the Jewish diaspora.

We have seen authoritarian communism that regressed into autocratic nationalist imperialist communism. We have also seen authoritarian communism that has shifted into state capitalism. Just like there are many variations of capitalism that we have and have not seen, there are likewise many of socialism and even communism that we have and have not seen.

Do you understand that even just in the category of communism, there is an enormous gamut of different approaches, of which you only seem to understand a very specific one? You understand that the bolshevicks, even under Lenin, murdered the “competing” communist groups, effectively regressing right back to authoritarianism and what would inevitably degrade into Stalinist autocracy? And so that even the, mischaracterizing, claim that “communism” went bad is basically nonsensical?

I imagine not, though I haven’t looked into it.
