Funny, but wrong.
Americans and Israelis are doing precision bombing - they even have better aiming than the Iranians have.
They are killing exactly who they want to kill: civilians.
Israel flattened Beirut in 1982.
No Hamas. No Hezbollah. No October 7 to point to then.
Just 17,000 dead Lebanese and Palestinian civilians.
Even US president then Ronald Reagan, who armed Israel, called Begin furious after seeing a photo of a 7-month-old baby with its arms blown off and said “It is a holocaust”.
They killed so many innocent people that the survivors had no choice but to pick up weapons.
Then Israel had the audacity to keep using “Self-Defense” excuse every decade.
Israel didn’t stumble into endless war. Israel built it. Brick by brick.
Own it.
Just learned:
Software engineers used to do manual data labeling at Scale AI while Alex Wang was CEO. After he left, new leadership joined, and were HORRIFIED to learn this. Stopped it ASAP
Now at Meta, software engineers are assigned manual data labeling... see the pattern?
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.
This is the article: https://t.co/YkZrpqBWBQ
This is beyond horrifying.
New data shows Israel has killed over 680,000 Palestinians in Gaza.
Among them:
• 380,000 infants under 5
• 99,000 children over 5
That’s 479,000 children murdered by Israel.
Israel isn’t “defending itself.”
It is wiping out Palestinian life.
Dear @geoffreyhinton,
You have to stop lying about me.
First was the apparently faked quote on your web page that you couldn’t provide a source for (literally the only source I found was on your own webpage!).
Then I just discovered that you told a Canadian Senate Committee that I said that AI “will only replace 2% of jobs” but so far I as know I never said such thing. Nothing on Google supports what you said. You again just made it up. And said it in a very serious forum.
The closest I can find is in my “25 predictions for 2025,” written in 2024, where I *correctly* predicted that in *2025* “Less than 10% of the work force will be replaced by AI” . It was not all a prediction about what might happen years hence, and not close to the number you apparently fabricated. (And your testimony in any event came in 2026!)
To the contrary, I have repeatedly said that AI *will* take a lot of jobs *eventually*, at least as far back as my December 2012 New Yorker essay called “Will a Robot Take Your Job?”.
Please cut this deceitful behavior out. You are (repeatedly) trying to make me look bad by lying about things I said.
That is not acceptable. Coming from a Nobel Prize winner it is downright reprehensible.
No longer respectfully,

The four children, Sohaib, Karmel, Rakan, and Sham were all brutally murdered by Israel along with their parents, following their child Yassin who had already been murdered before.
Israel keeps genociding the people of Gaza and the world still permits this horrific crime.
The number of people in the world who will need to know the details of successfully training state-of-the-art LLMs will be a tiny fraction of the number of people in the world who will simply use out of the box LLMs and/or treat them as a minor subsystem in the context of a larger software-intensive system.
Both skill sets are necessary; both have very different purposes.
In the fullness of time, LLMs will become a commodity, and the vibrant heat and smoke and noise and murmuration of large piles of cash you see now will settle down.
Isreal is doing to Lebanon as they did to Gaza…
FATHER AND SON KILLED FOR WALKING HOME.
They didn't carry weapons; they carried memories and a simple dream of going home.
Everything is a blood libel. The ICJ ruling, a libel. The ICC warrants, a libel. The UN reports, libel. Amnesty, HRW, B'Tselem, libel. Survivors' testimony, libel. Your own soldiers charged at Sde Teiman, a libel. Chants at protests, libel.
The only entity on Earth that never lies, apparently, is the one currently on trial for genocide.
