    100+ KILLED: IDF FIRES On Starving Gazans Swarming Aid Truck
  • I am not excusing anybody, I am just tired of the blatant propaganda with zero reliable sources.

    What you describe is horrible, and also it is simply not real, but entirely the result of your imagination. No source claims any of this the way you describe it.

    In fact the latest reports describe two separate events, one where the stampede occurred, with no IDF involvement, and another event where there was a shooting at a check point. There is NO way to know what exactly happened from behind the keyboard. At this point all your claims are only the reflection of your beliefs, and nothing more.

    100+ KILLED: IDF FIRES On Starving Gazans Swarming Aid Truck
  • That's not the description of a stampede which would result in killing 100+ people, even if true.

    We will probably never know exactly what happened, as we only have IDF- and Hamas-controlled reporting of it, both obviously heavily skewed.

    But the claim that this is Israeli military simply shooting to murder 100+ people is to say the least obviously unsubstantiated.

    100+ KILLED: IDF FIRES On Starving Gazans Swarming Aid Truck
  • A stampede caused by Israel forces opening fire on the crowd.

    It is not helpful that you just made that up on the spot. Not even close to what you linked to, or what both sides claim.

    100+ KILLED: IDF FIRES On Starving Gazans Swarming Aid Truck
  • This is grossly misleading reporting.

    The deaths were caused by a stampede. Very small number of people were fired on after approaching a military checkpoint and after warning fires.

    Still a tragedy, but nothing like what the title makes it out to be.

    The Great Fiction of AI: The strange world of high-speed semi-automated genre fiction
  • LLMs are really crappy at writing books right now.

    However there is zero evidence they will not get better, in fact they are getting exponentially better all the time at all tasks which are getting measured.

    My bet is on LLMs soon being able to put out mediocre fiction, and then not much later great fiction, indistinguishable from the best authors out there.

  • Then again on a second attempt I get wildly different resutls, for both of them. Might be a matter of advanced settings, like temperature, but single examples don't seem to be indicative of one being better than the other at this type of Qs.

    A crowd destroyed a driverless Waymo car in San Francisco
  • False.

    The pedestrian in that accident was struck by a human driver, hit and run, THEN they hit the Waymo, which did a pull-over maneuver. It did drag the victim (of the HUMAN) in error. It did not strike them at all.

    In fact the actual real issue was the C-suite trying to cover it up, intead of being upfront with the DMV. THAT’S what got Waymo in trouble. All fired now, as expected, the shitheads.

    Economists say there are a number of factors driving up food prices, but they expect food inflation to slow over time. Here's a look at what’s behind Canada’s high grocery prices and what to expect in the coming months.

    TLDR; climate change, Russia, supply chain not recovered, labor shortages; more price increases expected :/
