  • Not a fan of Musk but saying the BBC and Guardian are independent is a stretch.

    BBC director and editorial standard setter Robbie Gibb is a rabid Zionist and owner of the Jewish Chronicle, whose funding is a secret.

    The Guardian kowtows to the Israel lobby and the right.

    Legacy media is inherently self serving and sets whatever narratives are in the interests of the powerful.

  • There's a difference between using LLMs to edit text, provide ideas or give you information that you can double check because you have the subject matter experience. Relying on it as a substitute for skill when something important is at stake like someone's well being is reckless at best.

  • Using Generative AI as a substitute for professional judgement is a disaster waiting to happen. LLMs aren't sentient and will frequently hallucinate answers. It's only a matter of time before incorrect output will lead to catastrophic consequences and the idiot who trusted the LLM, not the LLM itself, will be responsible.

  • Yes that's my point. They were a terror group and then weren't when the US decided. In the same way that Sudan was a state sponsor of terror until the US decided otherwise.

    In both cases recognising the occupation of Palestine made them not terrorists.

    Also if committing massacres made the PLO a terror group then surely Israel and it's military wing should be a state sponsor of terror many times over since October 7th but instead it receives billions in funding and weapons from the US and UK

    As I said it is a form of political repression.

  • Hamas being designated a terrorist group arose because of US and Israeli pressure to de-legitimise any entity that represents Palestinians in the same way that the PLO was regarded as a terror group pre Oslo.

    It is political repression and nothing more.

    Many of these same countries branded Nelson Mandela and the ANC as a terror group.

  • Only a handful of countries consider Hamas a terror group. Funnily enough these are the same countries that are complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza.

    This is a "leopards ate my face" law. It's fine until you get caught up in it however unlikely that appears now.

  • He says he was arrested under section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 which makes it illegal to stay anything even remotely non critical about a "proscribed organisation" like Hamas. It is extraordinarily repressive.

    To clarify this is part of what section 12 says:

    Proscription makes it a criminal offence to: express an opinion or belief that is supportive of a proscribed organisation, reckless as to whether a person to whom the expression is directed will be encouraged to support a proscribed organisation.
