Human life dictated by a machine on who to kill. You need to be so fucking cold and evil to be okay with this.
Not only is it heinous it’s also obvious this is just a testing ground for it. Think about it, a testing ground that the test is how many you can kill using AI. We need an amendment to the Geneva convention
Even if you got US and Israel to sign it, Russia, China and The Saudis would never.
Who do you think is selling this capability to Israel? Hint: it’s not the Saudis.
Seconded as gaza being a testing ground for oppressive techniques and technologies!
Ai is trained on input data, and if their input data is on past idf strikes then it’s no fucking wonder they’ve killed so many journalists.
this probably wasn’t supposed to be funny but holy shit lol
Input data was literally just a map of Gaza
The AI in question: targets.forEach(target => target.isHamas = true);
ClassCastException: Cannot cast null to Boolean
Beep boop beep. Wirrrr. Targeting backup test data due to failure in main subroutine. Target acquired.
targets.add(civilians).add(aid workers).add(journalists)Brrr beeep boop bop
Wasn’t JavaScript evil enough?
The AI is probably more like:
I’m sure the machine running it was quite warm actually.
International law, who needs it I guess? Seems to me like Israel doesn’t need allies.
Speaking of “international law”, what uniform do Hamas fighters wear?
Right so because they aren’t obvious in a crowd it’s better to murder the whole crowd? Are kids Hamas? Cuz there’s a whole lot of murdered kids on Israel’s hands.
Sound logic my guy
Apparently world central kitchen uniforms you fucking monster.
It sounds sinister until you remember that Hamas wipes it’s ass with the Geneva convention and regularly disguises fighters as civilians.
Go back to reddit, Hasbara.
This. I hope no one supports Hamas here, but certainly almost no one supports either Hamas or IDF.
It looks like they tried “kill all the poor”.
1% of which was just a bowl of guacamole.
Being a terrorist should be incredibly dangerous. Terrorists shouldn’t feel safe anywhere, especially not at home. No sympathy from me.
The vast majority killed aren’t terrorists. Just yesterday, Israel killed seven World Kitchen humanitarian aid workers in their World Kitchen labeled cars that were authorized by Israel to be there. Three cars, targeted one after another, all bombed. The tops of the cars had the logo so they wouldn’t be bombed.
The IDF is a terrorist organization
Yes, because, they are doing a great job separating them from everyone else.
Not that Hamas is doing a great job to separate itself from their own civilans.
Agreed. Israeli “Defence” Forces soldiers should not feel safe anywhere, hence the endless resistance from Palestinians.
That’s going so well for them.
This is pure insanity, but at least I can see the kind of insane thinking that allowed Germans to live their comfortable lives just a few kilometers away from concentration camps. When you say “Hamas is from Palestine, therefore Palestine is a target” and you manage to convince yourself that infant civilians are an acceptable casualty then you are no better.
Israel is a terrorist state, allied to Azerbaijan, a terrorist state, both openly engaging in terrorist activities. Yet their soldiers and other state agents feel themselves very safe.
Considering that, what Hamas did was horrible, but no Israeli has the right to complain. If Israelis want to have human rights, they shouldn’t be complicit and approving of genocide.
Woo hoo, Weapons of Math Destruction meet Weapons of Mass Destruction. (good book by the way)
The AI was just RNG applied to a census.
The purpose of a system is what it does
According to the cybernetician, the purpose of a system is what it does. This is a basic dictum. It stands for bald fact, which makes a better starting point in seeking understanding than the familiar attributions of good intention, prejudices about expectations, moral judgment, or sheer ignorance of circumstances.
The AI is “supposed” to identify targets, but in reality, the system’s purpose is to justify indiscriminate murder.
So they built skynet?
Don't disrespect Skynet by comparing it with our trash pattern-storing-and-matching "AI". It figured out time travel all on it's own after all.
Sounds more like Project Insight to me

The machine didn’t do anything. They built a targeting “AI” that is trained on bullshit data, which likely doesn’t distinguish between Hamas targets and civilians, but it’s ultimately these genocidal bastards who decide when to kill and they choose to do so far more often than not. They’re throwing the “AI” buzzword in to add a layer of abstraction between themselves and the genocide they’re perpetrating.

And knowing some Israelis, people to say this know full well what they are doing, just think everybody else is either a bastard or an idiot.
It’s a real cultural problem, they have a very simplistic society in terms of discussing politics and morality, seems like some small town, only it’s a country of 8 million.
