TIL that in 1917, under orders from Surgeon General Rupert Blue, cigarettes were included in the ration kits for every fighting man in the US Military.

    The person you replied to didn't say meth but dextroamphetamine. Dextroamphetamine was used by the US in WW2.

    Germans used Methamphetamine.

    "From April to July 1940, German service members on the Western Front received more than 35 million methamphetamine pills. "

  • Marijuana, Smile, 1. Skull is a stretch for the 3.

    If it's absurd, then an iron cross tattoo doesn't mean white power either. So yeah it's interpreted. But it doesn't matter. So what if he had MS13 literally tattooed across his face? That's not a crime.

  • He clearly has tattoos that could be interpreted as MS13. It's not a false narrative.

    But that's not a crime.

  • Magas are desperately trying to avoid the trap. He has tattoos that could symbolize MS13. So if a symbol is undeniable proof, then Hegseth's Nazi symbol tattoos becomes undeniable proof.

    But even if he had actual MS13 tattoos, it's still ridiculous. Kids get all sorts of tattoos to look cool. Is Trump going to depart all the white trash girls with Chinese character tattoos?

    AI could have saved them millions making the same stupid decisions.

    Jump

  • You can solve 2 layers with logic. The 3rd requires patterns. You can discover patterns on your own by doing repeated motions until the cube returns to its original state. I came across a pattern that swapped colors on one side. That got me all the way to everything but 2 corners that needed to be rotated. On my own, I never discovered the pattern that rotated corners.

  • I've read articles that say, "I do my own stunts." are almost always lies for media publicity. If it's not Tom Cruise or Jackie Chan, it's an exaggeration for marketing.

  • People forgot what Trump was like 4 years ago and re elected him. So no, it will not facilitate any change.

  • The article said, "access to OpenAI". They didn't even claim they are using OpenAI.

    And yes, you get Microsoft's AI called CoPilot when you buy Microsoft Office. OMG, Israel's elite strike team has access to Clippy!

    I'm not trying to dilute their involvement. It's like IBM during the Holocaust. Are you similarly angry at Linus for not stopping Israel from using Linux? There are many distros and many are used in Israel.

    Calling out "Microsoft AI is killing Palestinians" when the only evidence is Israel bought MS Office is beyond ridiculous. Meanwhile the US and Europe sells Israel food which if stopped would stop the Gaza attacks immediately.

    There are companies selling bullets and you are angry with what cologne the killers purchased.

  • And I don’t care how smart AI and specifically LLMs are. It's a spell checker on steroids. Acting like it's something extraordinary that is directly killing Palestinians is ridiculous.

    I don't see how the Israeli military purchasing Microsoft Office compared to purchasing AMD CPU's s different. They chose Microsoft for the services on an open market just like they chose Arm CPU's. And yes Arm engineers do "deep integration" with military contractors just like Microsoft provides services.

    "The documents reveal that dozens of units in the Israeli army have purchased services from Microsoft’s cloud computing platform, Azure, in recent months " https://www.972mag.com/microsoft-azure-openai-israeli-army-cloud/

    Azure is used for running Microsoft Office or whatever other PC software they use.

  • They all "directly partner" AMD, Intel, and Arm are all deep in Israeli military.

    Using AI to target strikes/etc

    Image recognition was around decades before LLM's became the new "AI". Those weapons only function because of the Arm, AMD and Intel CPUs components What hardware is Microsoft cloud running on?

    You said you boycott all of them. How are you posting a reply?

    • Elon Musk is responsible for “killing the world’s poorest children,” says Bill Gates

    Jump

  • They all kill children and I boycott them all.

    You know what actually supports Israel? Food imports. You should be boycotting American, Swiss, German and Dutch farm produce. Cut off their food and they can't bomb.

    Along with hundreds of other multinationals, Microsoft hosts its own research and development (R&D) centre in Israel,

    Any company with an office in Israel? You boycott every large business? EVERY ONE? Apple, AMD, Intel, ARM? They are all in Israel. How are you even replying to this post without uses the CPU's that you claim to boycott?

    and he also played a crucial role in fostering Microsoft and OpenAI’s partnership

    AI isn't killing children. Israeli leaders are killing children. OpenAI is super charged spell checker. Have you even used it? It fixes the grammar. It helps write software. But so did autocomplete before LLM's.

    Claiming Gates isn’t heavily involved

    Are you an executive at Microsoft? Because if you aren't YOU DON'T KNOW THAT.

    And claiming Microsoft cloud services are worse than RTX's actual bombs that kill children is a stretch.
