Still only 1/4 of it through.

It’ll take more than just addressing stubble burning to get this under control

Total return weakens Israel. Basically because it leaves the country as a fairly narrow strip that’s easily cut apart in an attack.

Getting land in the west Bank returned means significant security concessions from whatever government is left. Last time this was tried it led to Hamas winning an election

Mostly concern that it weakens their position militarily. Get a genuine willingness for peace from a posr-Hamas Palestinain government and some sort of land-for-peace becomes thinkable

silence7 OP , to news in As Gazans Scrounge for Food and Water, Hamas Sits on a Rich Trove of Supplies

If you just send in food, Hamas will take the bulk of it, same way they supplied the tunnels in the first place. Only real way to solve the problem is to get rid of Hamas.

Pretty cynical when Hamas and Islamic Jihad could release the hostages and surrender and end all the fighting instead of giving people a choice over how they die

Hamas is their government, and as such, has a responsibility to those it governs.

And the supplies are literally under the feet of the people who need them. Not something dependent on outside shipment.

Hamas made a decision to start a war, and now they’re choosing to let people suffer for PR points instead of moving supplies up and out of their tunnels to the people.

silence7 , to worldnews in ‘Climate villain’: scientists say Rupert Murdoch wielded his media empire to sow confusion and doubt

critically thinking

A lot of people don’t, and it’s generally hard to do when looking at TV instead of a printed article.

silence7 OP , to technology in If artificial intelligence uses your work, it should pay you

This is different from those, and not at all tested in the courts. There are likely to be a whole bunch of lawsuits and several years before this is settled.

silence7 OP , to technology in If artificial intelligence uses your work, it should pay you

There’s an implied license to use content for the purpose of displaying it for web content. Copies for other purposes…not so much. There have been a whole series of lawsuits over the years over just how much you can copy for what purpose.

silence7 OP , to technology in If artificial intelligence uses your work, it should pay you

The difference is that your brain isn’t a piece of media which gets copied. The AI is. So when it memorizes, it commits a copyright violation

silence7 OP , to technology in If artificial intelligence uses your work, it should pay you

The problem is that the LLMs (and image AIs) effectively store pieces of works as correlations inside them, occasionally spitting some of them back out. You can’t just say “it saw it” but can say “it’s like a scrapbook with fragments of all these different works”

silence7 OP , to technology in If artificial intelligence uses your work, it should pay you

The thing is that they’re all reproduced, at least in part. That’s how these models work.

silence7 OP , to technology in If artificial intelligence uses your work, it should pay you

A key difference is that AI models tend to contain actual pieces of the training data, and on occasion regurgitate it. Kind of like randomly reproducing parts of the book during the course of your career as a carpenter. That’s the kind of thing that actually results in copyright lawsuits and damages when real people do it. AI shouldn’t be getting a pass here.

silence7 OP , to worldnews in Deadly global heatwaves undeniably result of climate crisis, scientists show

Now you work to change the rules of society so that we can stop adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, and limit the amount of additional warming we see.

Being colder than historic averages is pretty unusual at this point
