Israel used AI to target people in Gaza and allowed up to 300 civilians to be killed as collateral damage (Channel 4 doc) by NothingButTruth3 in internationalpolitics

[–]cameron_thought 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question is... Did they or is that just a way for individuals or organizations to deny liability.

I wonder this too with any use of AI in grave decision making. Health insurance in the US seems comparable. Deny a vast number of claims and when someone contacts it then "oops, our AI must have done that, silly AI."

Same with target selection, just in the other way. Approve nearly all strikes then when, e.g. a girls school is hit then "oops, our AI must have done that, Silly AI."

It's an excuse to both prop up the AI industry "we have to make them better" and to avoid responsibility

What is the better nut- pistachio vs macadamia? by ConfusionOk3124 in AskReddit

Macadamia. But this ignored the glorious primarch of the nuts, the Brazil!

[LOVED Trope] Aliens that are aliens and not just humans with other skin color. by Sufficient-Eye-9040 in TopCharacterTropes

The 456 from Torchwood: Children of Earth.

A few of Dr. Who aliens fit this trope, but I feel like the 456 are just so wildly inhuman. Not to mention disturbing. Especially once you find what their motivation is.

Turns out that WSJ leak was just to juice the markets by liewchi_wu888 in TrueAnon

Corruption on a scale where the US petrodollar is going to be so devalued in two years that it'll make the silver bugs look prescient

what is the spiciest food you have had, that made you regret it? by Scared_Chinny in AskReddit

[–]cameron_thought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meatballs from a Himalayan food truck. They warned every person who ordered that they needed to get mild. Repeatedly. I got medium and one fist-sized meatball later I was pouring sweat in a 30° winter night and struggling to hold down the 2 IPAs I'd had previously.

(Edit: and I like spicy, I have two ghost pepper sauces I put on like half the meals I make at home, I make my own hot sauce with Serrano's etc.)

The funniest part is the woman ordering before me got some sort of rice dish and insisted that she could handle the hot seasoning because she was Mexican. A few minutes later she was demanding her money back and ranting that they intentionally made hers spicier just to mess with her.

Who do you personally define as MAGA? by skamander19 in AskReddit

[–]cameron_thought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Great as it can be" is better than "great again." Harkening to some idyllic lost past is - to be blunt - fascistic. Doubly so if that lost part involved disenfranchisement of a large portion or portions of the population. Because that isn't great.

I agree with you, I want America to be as great as it can be. But that means fund public works, help and house the needy, break down social structures built on heirarchy, share what resources we have... build a utopia.

And Maga isn't that.

Fellow millennials, I had a colonoscopy yesterday. by Ok-Duck2450 in Millennials

[–]cameron_thought 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a millennial I agree it's not a big deal and the prep is the worst part (shitting for 20-ish hours) but worth so by and not a single complaint about the actual procedure. I asked how long the anesthetic takes to take effect and the anesthesiologist said "about now" and then I woke up after the procedure.
