  • Racism is kind of like the basis for all of this horrible stuff, but at somepoint it goes past it. What I’m trying to say is that even if tomorrow racism stopped, Palestinians would still be ubder attack by Israel because Israel would still blame tgem for 7.10 and would still have the excuse of taking down Hamas. So even if they weren’t racist they would still support the war. It might make things better to a degree, reduce war crimes and stuff. But the Israeli government would still want to conquer Gaza because of religion (which is not racism but still fucked up) and the US would still support Israel because of power over the middle-east.

    I didn’t say she was wrong, but to say that racism is the only problem is naive.

    Put an nfc tag there, you can insert it behind the leather. Write the same key on it and that way you could tip your hat onto someonea phone for a quick transfer for later communications.

    With the way you stitched it, you could easily push one of the flat flexible ones there without having to mess with the stitches

    I feel like she is a bit naive about that. Racism is like a really big driving force that has lead us to where we are today, and it is still a huge part of the problem. But even if you snapped racism out of existence right now, I think that specifically the Gaza situation would only slightly improve. I think there are a few really critical things that you would also need to eliminate:

    • The biggest driving force in that area is religion, both Christianity and Judaism in Israel and the US (not all of them, but a lot of powerful parts of them) really want Jerusalem and Gaza as they are both important parts of the return of the Messiah if I remember correctly
    • Second and very close to first is power. For the US Israel is the Middle East HQ, supporting the Israeli government is basically non-negotiable. Only if the US government changes to one with actual morals (Yeah right) will they actually go against Israel. And for Israel it is currently with a government built on corruption that leans heavily towards extreme right and religious parties.
    • The rest are money, racism, and other common culprits.

    I truly believe that if tomorrow racism was gone there would be very little difference in the overall situation, and this is not to reduce from fact that racism is a huge reason of how we got here.



  • That is actually missing an important issue, hallucinations.

    Copying from SO means you are copying from a human who might be stupid or lie but rarely spews out plausible sounding hot garbage (not never though) and because of other users voting and reputation etc etc, you actually do endup with a decently reliable source.

    With an LLM you could get something made up based on nothing related to the real world. The LLM might find your question to be outside of it’s knowledge but instead of realizing it it would just make up what it thinks sounds convincing.

    It would be like if you asked me how that animal that is half horse and half donkey is called and instead of saying “shit i’m blanking” I would say “Oh, that is called a Drog” and I couldn’t even tell you that I just made up that word because I will now be convinced that this is factual. Btw it’s “mule”

    So there is a real difference until we solve hallucinations, which right now doesn’t seem solvable but at best reduced to insignificance (maybe)
