That’s irrelevant to the fact that Israel is a real country with a government, citizens, and international recognition. Your argument applies equally to refusing to recognize the validity or existence of the United States of America, which should show you how ridiculous it is.
Here’s a quote from Wikipedia about the group that put out this article:
Roya TV is strongly anti-Zionist and, unlike the Jordanian government, does not recognize Israel as a real country. In written pieces, the network often puts Israel’s name in quotation marks, or refers to the entire country as “occupied Palestine”.
Unless there are alternate sources that verify the authenticity of this story, it should be assumed to be propaganda. They even do the quotation marks thing in this very headline.
At least the starbursts make street lights pretty at night 🫠
They succeeded in getting GTA5 pulled from the shelves of two of the largest physical distributors in Australia.
My favorite old cookbook is a wine cook book. The author is an obvious and unrepentant alcoholic that perfectly demonstrates the time period it was written in. One of the recipes was literally “melt a bunch of cheese and stir in wine while it cools, then pour the wine cheese into a loaf pan to solidify”, encouraging you to have a glass while you do so.
No but there’s no law against expelling a state from the union. Kind of a reverse secession if you can piss trump off enough for him to actually do it (no law saying that only Congress can expel them, so it would go to the courts).
People were distributing edited versions of the dress image just to fuck with people. I’m convinced that trolling was the root of the entire “debate”.
Luckily the majority of websites and Internet traffic go to the three cloud companies
I prefer to consider it in terms of “dimensions of awareness”. Humans have evolved hundreds, possibly thousands, of interlinked dimensions of awareness for just about everything from colors to body language. Simple automated systems with sensors have their own dimensions of awareness, from vision to heat to pressure. Whatever it is that they track and respond to. AI, however, is finally hitting the point where these dimensions of awareness are being stacked and linked together (GPT5 can see, hear, read, and respond) and it’s only a matter of time and agency (aka executive functioning) before we see true AI consciousness.
However the effects are becoming increasingly dramatic as more and more of the population finds themselves in an economy with no jobs for them. Eventually UBI will become necessary once we hit the tipping point.
I’d actually love to see a graph that shows the distribution of lengths of various wars
It’s like every time there’s a war everybody forgets how fucking long they take. WW2 took six years. The Vietnam War took almost 20 years, same with the Afghanistan War. Anybody expecting anything solid within the next couple years is delusional. Ukraine is in it for the long haul.
If you rotate a 3 clockwise it becomes a pair of balls
10,000 mg per kg of body weight you would literally have to consume 10x your body weight in aspartame
10g/kg is actually 1/100th your weight, not 10 times it
100 companies/corporations are responsible for 71% of all greenhouse gas emissions. Unless the “simple changes” are “abolish capitalism and give these polluters the corporate death penalty” then there’s jack shit you can do to have any appreciable impact beyond not having kids and convincing everyone you know to do the same. Because if the human race goes extinct there will be nobody left to pollute.
Considering they’d either want or need the chip manufacturing capacity I highly doubt they’d intentionally raze the facilities.
They could go back to suggesting only videos related to the one you’re watching but they really want The Engagement Algorithm to be the only one available :(
It is an approximation of intelligence. Literally a universal approximator trained on “intelligent” data. I can think of many applications where such a tool would be a brilliant fit but I swear tech companies are hell bent on cramming it into every single niche that it doesn’t belong.
