Yes thank you. I'm pretty worried about what happens without this guy. We still have Ed Markey but he's up there too.
Much as a lot of the worst people in government are relics from another time, age discrimination doesn't behoove us, IMO. Some of the best are also the most venerable. I'd take Bernie in a heartbeat.
It does a disservice to the health ministry to invariably pin it as "Hamas-run" like the media usually does. It's a professional, bureaucratic apparatus. Not really any more Hamas-run than the US Bureau of Land Management is Democrat-run. Which is to say, technically accurate but usually stated with a purposeful insinuation.
All this is to say that you're right, they're concerned with accuracy and credibility. But credit where credit is due, it's because of the health ministry itself, not Hamas.
"...AI" concerns me. I use quotation marks there because what is often referred to as AI today is not whatsoever what the term once described.
Lost me right there. Not only was and is this AI, but the term gets narrower over time, not broader. If you want to go by "what the term once described," you have to include computer vision, text to speech, optical character recognition, behavior trees for video game enemies, etc etc etc.
When I see people complain about calling LLMs "AI," I think the only definition that would satisfy them is "things computers can do that we aren't used to yet."
Man I really don't get how discord has become the default for so many things. It's chat. It's persistent, but not in a way that's easy to look through. Like, support forums or discussions about things that aren't just fleeting? Whyyy
Sure! This is a very illuminating article about the zeitgeist in the early 00s, including an interview with McInnes with the quote where he notoriously said "I love being white."
Just a reminder that Vice was founded by Gavin McInnes, who also founded the Proud Boys and explicitly mentioned wanting to use Vice as a hipster-to-chud pipeline.
Somehow I read that last guy's name as Mickle Bickle
