@fellowshipsring I've only seen the first two episodes of the season but I was spoiled on this on Reddit and I'm honestly not sure I want to keep watching. Arondir is one of my favourute characters, they already fridged Bronwyn offscreen, killed off Adar and ditched the Nori/Gandalf storyline
BEG YOU 😭💔

Israel just bombed the surgical ward of Nasser Hospital, a medical center it bombed and shelled numerous times during its war in Gaza
It murdered a doctor and his medical team
You can bet your bottom dollar that if Israel's got militarized "humanoid robots" ready to deploy against the citizens of Palestine, it's got the robotic Dogs of Death too.
Israel's inhumanity towards Palestinians (and others) knows no bounds.

Imagine humanoid robots pursuing you, if you’ve survived this long in Gaza
Next level dystopian terror, brought to you by the genocidal regime of Israel.

Eric Trump's Humanoid Robots To Be Used In Gaza Genocide
Financial Times: "A company backed by Eric Trump is in talks with the Israel Defense Forces to supply humanoid robots to patrol Hamas tunnels beneath Gaza and potentially engage in combat."
Reading by Tim Foley.
insane to think of all the good that could be done with advanced robotics, and then see evidence that they will instead be used to commit further acts of violence against Palestinian kids. need to make some billionaires scared, fast, methinks
The Financial Times has published a new article titled “Humanoid robot start-up backed by Eric Trump in talks with Israel’s military” which is exactly as horrifying as its headline suggests.
The article features photographs of bipedal armored robots which look like they came from the set of a post-apocalyptic Hollywood movie, and opens as follows:
“A company backed by Eric Trump is in talks with the Israel Defense Forces to supply humanoid robots to patrol Hamas tunnels beneath Gaza and potentially engage in combat.
“Foundation Future Industries co-founder and president Mike LeBlanc said he had met senior Israeli military officials for preliminary discussions in September and toured tunnels with the US start-up’s Phantom MK1.
“‘We’re in direct talks with the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces,’ the former US Marine told the FT, adding that his company was in discussions to supply up to 1,000 Phantoms."
Foundation Future Industries is a San Francisco-based robotics company which is actively seeking lucrative contracts with US and foreign militaries. Financial Times reports that the two year-old company has already secured contracts worth $70 million from the American war machine.
In a July article titled “A Humanoid Company Backed by Eric Trump Is Preparing Its Robots for War,” Wired reported that Foundation robots are already operating on the battlefield in Ukraine:
“The war in Ukraine has served as a laboratory for the development and testing of many of these systems; Foundation says it has tested its humanoid, Phantom MK1, with Ukrainian forces.
“It’s unique in its targeting of the military market, and so far it’s been lucrative. The company has government contracts worth millions of dollars and high-profile backers to spread its message: Eric Trump, the president’s son, is both an investor and the company’s chief strategy adviser.”
I probably don’t need to explain to anyone reading this why it is insanely corrupt and dystopian for the president’s son to be making a fortune selling murderbot contracts to the US military while his warmongering father engages in reckless military expansionism around the world. But it really does highlight exactly where the US empire is at on the timeline of degradation and tyranny.
During an interview on Fox Business this past April in which Eric Trump appeared alongside Foundation CEO Sankaet Pathak, the American princeling gushed enthusiastically about how far the United States has come in what he describes as a robotics race with China.
“When you go up and you interact with these robots, and they fist-bump you, they high-five you, they follow your commands,” Trump said. “You bring in AI autonomy, it’s going to change industry, going to change military application, it’s going to change hospitality. The uses are unlimited, and I think it’s a very beautiful thing, but we must win this race.”
I often see people wondering why AI is being shoved down our throats with little to no regulation despite the fact that it isn’t improving our lives in any meaningful way, but that’s because AI isn’t intended to benefit ordinary people. It’s intended to power autonomous military robots who will fire upon the citizenry if they attempt a revolution in ways human soldiers might refuse to do. It’s intended to re-centralize control of information, to replace expensive skilled labor, to destroy the collective bargaining power of the working class, and to facilitate mass surveillance throughout our society.
Humanity needs to wake up to what’s going on, because we are fast approaching the point where they have the technologies in place to lock us in this dystopia forever.
I honestly thought I had seen it all when it came to Gaza. But humanoid robots, backed by Eric Trump, being lined up for deployment in Gaza? Wtaf!!!
Imagine being Palestinian and watching the world find increasingly disturbing ways to experiment on ur existence.
