I never mentioned Israel and war in any part of my comment. I said Hamas taking out water pipes didn't help the situation. Which is true no matter how much you Hamas-apologists tried. There's no need to even look for source, they published the video themselves bragging how they made weapons from pipes Israel laid. It's all over the internet.
Indeed there are a lot of vocal people here who weren't keen o Israel to begin with. But that shouldn't justify calling deaths of civilians on either side.
aiming to produce a situation not only more-favorable to Hamas than the pre-war situation, but one so much more favorable that it’s worth the costs of the war for Gaza
I think this is mostly due to Israel's insistence that Hamas must perish. Which is why I guess every ceasefire talks are falling through constantly. There's no future in which Hamas exists that Israel is willing to accept. Sadly a lot of innocent will pay the cost. So whatever happens Israel will double-down on eradicating Hamas while trying to minimize civilian casualties and Hamas will try to survive by doing the opposite.
Actually it has been working. Everyone is calling Israel evil and calling for recognition of genocide. ICC is summoning Netanyahu and number of countries are recognizing Palestine as a country. This has not happened so far. I know Hamas has only one goal which is destruction of Israel, but am not sure others realize this.
So in summary world is sending a message where terrorizing people, killing hundreds of innocents will get you what you want. More money, recognition and legitimacy. I dread to see what is coming in future.
Am behaving like a numbnut on purpose. It's the same excuse that has been thrown my way on Lemmy when there was something which didn't fit other people's narrative. But my sarcasm wasn't as obvious. Sorry about that.
There is a plateau to be hit at some point. How close it is, depends who you ask. Some say we are close, others say we are not but it definitely exists. LLMs suffer, just like other forms of machine learning, from data overload. You simply can't be infinitely feeding it data and keep getting better and better results. ChatGPT's models got famous because value function for learning had humans involved who helped curate quality of responses.
That's a twist pretty much everyone saw who is not Israel hater. Israel reported the very day the talks broke up that terms were changed, but Hamas announced day prior they are accepting the terms, making Israel look like they are the ones who didn't accept.
It was the same story about hospital being bombed. Everyone reported Israel bombing hospital and it took months of independent investigation to figure out what Israel initially said, which was that the stray rocket fell on parking lot and amount of victims wasn't 500.
This is what Hamas does, fight media war making Israel look bad at every opportunity. Yesterday we could see just how much they fact check things when they reported a joke from social media as a fact checked news story about how "MOSAD agent named Eli Copter was responsible for deaths of Iranian leaders"... Seriously (h)Eli Copter. We came up with better jokes when we were kids.
I'd be torn on the idea of AI generating CP, if it were only that. On one hand if it helps them calm the urges while no one is getting hurt, all the better. But on the other hand it might cause them not to seek help, but problem is already stigmatized severely enough that they are most likely not seeking help anyway.
