I don’t understand why people have to watch those ads. It’s one websearch that will save you a lot of time.

I use Mozilla for desktop and brave for Android to listen to videos while the screen is off.

Cast iron skillets.

If you season and clean them the right way they will outlive you.

I’m using the same one that my parents owned for 30 years and hope I will get another 30 years of usage out of it.

Thanks for easing my mind a little. You definetly did in perspective to labor.

You also reminded me I already had my first encounter with a callcenter AI by telekom and it was just as useless as the human equivalent, they seem to get similar training!

I just hope it won’t hinder or replace interhuman connection on a larger scale cause in this sphere mediocrity might be enough and we are already lacking there.

The albeit small but present virtual girlfriend culture in Japan really shocked me and I feel we are not far away from things like AI-droid wives for example.

I admit I understand nothing about ai and haven’t used it in any way nor do I plan to. It feels wrong for me and I believe it might fuck us harder than social media ever could.

But the pictures it creates, the stories and conversations don’t seem like hot air. And I guess, compared to the internet we are at the stage where the modem is still singing the songs of its people. There is more to come.

I heard it can code at a level where entry positions might be in danger to be swapped for ai. It detects cancer visually, recognizes people by the way they walk in China. Also I fear that vulnerable persons might fall for those conversation bots in a world where there is less and less personal contact.

Gotta admit I’m a little afraid it will make most of us useless in the future.

There were large pro Palestine and pro peace/ceasefire marches in germany.

Afterwards they were smeared either by pointing out that marches were organized by or with pro-hamas entities within the country.

This is indeed concerning but fails to acknowledge the various reasons people have to attend these demonstrations.

I think this approach was effective in silencing most individuals that are pro-Palestine or anti-zionist but don’t want to be connected to Hamas.

It’s a waiting game. They will probably displace the Palestinians into the Egyptian desert step by step. Make a new Ghetto there.

A time will come when they can’t hide behind the US, because it’s involved in another conflict or internally occupied, and Israel is surrounded by enemies, now even more than before.

You reap what you sow, just give it time.

No, that was the work of really depraved men. It’s not excusable, and I wish them the worst death has to offer.

My comment went more into a tactical, not a moral direction.

The hostages are probably one of the things keeping some areas in Gaza secure. Was a effective move to gather as many as you can, not only as bargaining chips but strategically.

Hamaz will use them as human shields in important positions, Isreal gives little fucks about dead Palestinians, thing changes when it’s your own civilians you bomb.

They should not give them back if they want to be able to operate a little further and prepare for a possible ground assault by Israel.

That’s what their soldiers are more effective in, no sense in getting bombed without aa.

Because this was probably a military target.

A lot of militant groups use civilians as human shields to either completly prevent a strike or a least create bad publicity to spin their propaganda.

There were a lot of Israelis taken into Gaza by force, my guess is they are kept in the most important places to create a moral dilemma.

You either attack and kill your own civilians or let the enemy have undisturbed action.
