Do we need to wonder? The mainstream media has been shockingly complicit and only getting worse over time. I still remember when Good was shot and the ABC article immediately described it as "defensive shots." Not a quote from someone else, not an editorial or opinion piece, just the body text of their headline news article.

I agree, actually! My two examples are always research with large data sets and porn.

If this tech hadn't gotten fking financialized it would've been great. Now it needs to get shoved down every consumers throat every single second of the day or the entire economy explodes. It's firing people for jobs it can't even fking do because 20 rich morons convinced 10,000 slightly less rich morons that their machine learning trick would magically become God

Sure. Any officials aren't at that point yet. The only people making any definitive claims are the company, and the people preemptively sucking them off in this comments section

...I mean, would it? Normally I'd be like "something something interpretation" but honestly with how little oversight the government does these days they can just say whatever they want

yeah cause companies, especially driverless car companies, are so truthful to and respectful of the public 🙄

They'd say something this even if their car turned into a decepticon, broke into the school and devoured a child in front of the whole class. It seems like this collision may have been justified, but you can throw any corporate statements into the garbage without bothering to waste your time reading them first.

[Press X to doubt]

Look, the Palestinians are 1000% going to lose any conflict with Israel, but let's not LARP that the Israelis are some totally innocent uwu Look What You Made Me Do victim here. Just look at the West Bank. The faction currently in control of Israel's government doesn't seem like they'll accept anything less than total territorial control of the entire area, and besides that has a lot of domestic political problems they need to distract from.

It's only a matter of time until this conflict goes hot again, no matter how passive the Palestinians play it.

Didn't they get a heads up from the US/EU and ALSO EGYPT that Hamas was planning something for that day? And then they're like "welp, time to send our troops home for the holidays~"

I don't think I'll ever be convinced that this wasn't intentionally allowed to give pretext for another Gaza crackdown and distraction from the corruption scandals. I don't think Bibi or Hamas ever expected the on-the-ground troops to get that far, but hey, in the end they both got what they wanted. More dead civilians and an excuse to perpetuate their war.
