  1. In Topic: Israel and Iran

    Escalate is a problem because it didn't work in Iraq or Afghanistan. They 'won', then left declaring hollow empty fooling absolutely no one 'victory!'. They can't raze Iran down to scorched earth, the rest of the world including Saudi and other oil rich Middle-eastern allies won't stand for it.


    It's actually simpler than this. Iran is not take-able from an army standpoint as they would need a million soldiers to even try considering the terrain and the size. Iran is the size of like all of continental Europe. This is part of the reason no US president till now was dumb enough to get into this. So there's no options to bomb them more without basically asking for retaliation on all US military bases in the region, and ground troops is a non-starter...if people thought mothers were upset to see their sons die in Vietnam, that was a cakewalk compared to this.

    The BEST bet was ALWAYS to talk and have Iran at the JCPOA table like it was with Obama...full access for the globally recognized group of all nuclear dealings in Iran to make sure nothing untoward was occurring. Like none of this was a fucking problem before Trump...the progress made during Obama's tenure was the most there had been since the 70's...gone because a narcissist could not stomach that Obama achieved anything, and he needed a distraction war for his other legal problems.

    Honestly the only people who wholeheartedly support AI are the awful tech bros who are desperate to rinse every penny they can put of it before the bubble bursts and who are currently sucking up to trump to get hefty government contracts out of it, or immoral sleazebags who are fine with art being stoped and are making their own money out of it by becoming "artists" themselves with their crappy stolen soulless slop.


    The latest I heard is that AI is scraping warehouses full of of old books for their data and then destroying them after.

    I dunno who needs to be told at this point but "The people burning books" have never ever been on the right side of history.

    Miyazaki telling off these tech bro AI chuds is giving me joy today.

    "I strongly believe this is an insult to life itself" No Notes Hayao. I agree.


    For anyone who hasn't watched the video, the reference to his disabled friend makes it pretty clear that he's referring specifically to their use of AI simulations to come up with "grotesque" new possibilities for 3D animated human motion that humans would supposedly never imagine, specifically with human bodies rolling across the floor using their heads like legs. That's what he's calling an insult to life. The implication seems to be that he'd feel the same way even if they weren't using AI.

    Granted, he also doesn't look happy when they say they want to create AI that draws like humans do.

    What he does say about AI in general is this:

    Quote

    I feel like we are nearing to the end of times.

    We humans are losing faith in ourselves.




    Tell me you don't understand Japanese Cultural mores in social situations without telling me. I assure you he was talking about AI in general.

    Good lord man, you know none of us is ever going to agree with you about AI right? Like let a few of these things slide without feeling the need to find a defence.
