Israel’s battle against misinformation and hate is overwhelming on most days. During a war, it goes on overdrive. By last measure, online anti-Semitism has spiked by a massive 1200% since October 7th When faced with a river of hate from legions of enemy countries and sympathizers, Israel’s Hasbara (positive PR) efforts are chronically understaffed, under-funded

    anyways, I wanted to say that I’m not a proponent of the content of this article, but I think it is important that people see it

      Informative post, never mind the downvotes. Some users seem to be confused about how to use votes and think they should vote based on sympathy with - instead of relevancy of - the posted content.

    At this point where they say this that openly I think I’ll stop all the efforts at arguing online unless the opponent is quite clearly not a bot.

    Lem’s “Bomba megabitowa” comes true in everything.

    I like Lem and one may find some solutions in his approaches. But I also liked the Web like 20-15 years ago, it was nice.

    Covering APIs, AI-driven translators and other tools based on their proprietary large language model, it is already collaborating with some of the best-known experts in the field, including at AI21 Labs, Google, and Microsoft.

    Imagine AI being able to instantly check whether a post violates the terms of service (TOS) of the specific platform where it’s made.

    Imagine the ability to report said post on the spot.

    And if it doesn’t violate the TOS, to instantly generate the best counterargument?

    Kind of a weird apocalyptic way to kick humans off the internet:

    When online opinions no longer matter because, he who has the strongest computer, will have the best AI. Which will also have the best public opinion(s).

    At that point, only places where people can confirm you are a real human will matter.

      The last election was in 2006. 17 years ago. The median age of people there is only 20. Most of those people didn’t vote for anyone, let alone Hamas. And even those that did vote, Hamas got less than 50% of the vote.

      Also, nice use of ableist slurs there. Is that really appropriate?

      Decades of illegal occupation, racial segregation and genocide are severe violations of human rights and of international law.

      Also your ableism is quite telling about your character
