Venia Silente

First of all, how do you even arrive to the conclusion

Sure, I can extrapolate from whatever the media shows, and we get access to many sides of the story (Gaza, Hamas, Al-Jazeera, etc), but in the end reality is the best empirical measure of itself. Israel government is still standing, the people have so far not revolted to assume direct control and stop the process of a literal genocide.

There’s a long and exhausting debate that can be had here, but I personally disagree strongly because this is the type of rhetoric and narratives that fascists spin, but turn it against who they paint as enemies.

Completely understandable, athough I disagree that the two things are linked That the rhetoric is misused is orthogonal with whether the observation itself holds true or not. I’m just not lying to myself about reality. If reality changes so that people are better, by all means I welcome it.

Cross post this to something like /c/TheyKnew if it exists somewhere!

I made once the dumb mistake of getting my library card right before moving to another city, and never ever checked if it’s valid or repurposable since (three years now).

Well, time to fix that!

The atrocities committed are being orchestrated by the ruling capitalists and politicians in Israel, not the average worker

The average workers for Israel literally go on the news to yell how happy they are to have a chance to contribute to the atrocities.

Regardless of what you think about political systems, sometimes it’s just that people are inherently evil. As the US elections showed us.

Terf Island, Fourth Reich

Amazing call-outs!

Allow me to add “Hallucinated Nation” / “Consolation Prize Nation” / “Nazi Campsite” for Israel, feel free to choose one.

All that said, this would largely depend on whether Palestinian outbound internet goes from Israel as well, which might as well be the case Soon™ if it’s not already (the same way blocking the Fourth Reich would block Native American outbound internet). But at least it’s a starting point and raises awareness.

1. Sell iphone
2. Buy Android
3. Install Minetest / Luanti.

Net positive from every angle.

It’s not new, it’s not unique, it’s not legally enforceable.

Does this meme sanction me from the US?

The latter part makes sense to me tbh. Machines should not allowed to compete with humans (in creative endeavours) because it is an intrinsically unfair competition that further erodes the rights of those humans who are more vulnerable, in the circumstance that is opposite to the intent of having machines around in the first place. They are supposed to do our beast-of-burden work, not make it so that our only pending value to be extracted by capitalism is beast-of-burden work.

What I’m not sure I buy is the idea that the “countless works” generated by AI actually compete with the original, in particular if they are non-infringing. Let’s say I take the work of an author to train an AI on their style. The author writes exclusively noir; I instruct the AI to generate college drama in the same style. Are the new works competing? The author won’t offer me a college drama in the first place.
