Of course. Those kids in refugee camps, hospitals and ambulances have their hands soaked in blood.

If Israel intentionally targeted civilians not around the enemy because they elected Hamas as their government this enabling state sponsors terrorism, it would be considered collective punishment.

Israel is also attacking the West Bank, where there is no Hamas.

Hiding amongst your own civilians

I have never understood this argument of terrorists “hiding” amongst civilians. Terrorists are people, that live in residential buildings, that pray in temples, and that go to hospitals when they are injured or ill.

My country, Spain, had a huge problem between the 1970s and the 2010s with the terrorist group ETA. But nobody was ever so fucking psycho as to suggest bombing the places in the Basque country were the terrorists lived. There are other ways of fighting against terrorism that don’t include the killing of civilians.

They are targeting the enemy.

No. They are targeting civilian areas where there are maybe some enemies.

Or the residents of Gaza strip

They will use this law to deny citizenship to people from Palestine

If we are talking about main objectives publicly stated and action supported, maybe you should listen to the Israeli foreign minister:

At the end of this war, not only will Hamas no longer be in Gaza, but the territory of Gaza will also decrease

This isn’t a security issue, it is an invasion.

Ah, yes. those Arabic countries like *checks notes* Brazil

Keep simping for terrorists

You are the only one simping for the IDF

I bet you make this exact comment in all the threads about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, right?

They are the same rumor.

No they aren’t. The cheating rumor started with a cryptic tweet of the World Champion at the moment, Magnus Carlsen, just right after losing against Niemann and withdrawing from the tournament. The tweet didn’t say or insinuate anything about anal devices. The rumors increased when they played together a few days later and Carlsen resigned in move one, again without mentioning or insinuating anything about anal devices. And finally a couple of weeks later Carlsen explained why he thinks Niemann is cheating. You can count how many times he mentions buttplugs, anal beads or whatever. Yes, zero times.

These are the serious rumors. Serious as in if it were proven true, his career would end forever. Serious as, a large part of the chess community believe that they are true or at least contain some truth in them. Serious as in tournament organizers don’t send him invitations and affect his chess career in a negative way. Serious as in that still today, some players (for example Vladimir Kramnik) refuse to play against him.

The buttplug rumor started in a twitch chat as a joke, and was popularized in the satirical subreddit Anarchy Chess as a joke (believe me, I was part of the subreddit and created a couple of memes myself). It was just making an absurd situation even more absurd, nobody actually believed that he cheated via anal stimulation.

People making memes on the internet isn’t a serious rumor. Real life consequences is.

I don’t think there is a single person that has heard he cheated but doesn’t know about the butt plugg.

That doesn’t mean that the buttplug thing was a serious rumor.

and be honest about how serious those rumors are

The serious rumors were never about the anal beads thing, only about cheating.

The thing is that the game was broadcast live. One-way communication was enough

Go ask that question to the prosecutors

For what jurisdiction?

For one, the Spanish jurisdiction, that is the one that applies to this case. Arguing that other countries have backwards laws is irrelevant to the matter at hand.

Fire the guy, ban him from football for life, but does he need to be arrested?

It is not up to you to decide. The Spanish law is pretty clear in this respect, and a non-consensual kiss is explicitly defined as sexual assault, period. And this is a very recent law that has been widely discussed and reported in media, so there is no chance that he didn’t know the legal consequences of his acts. He simply believed that his position of power would be enough to evade the legal consequences.

It seems that there is an alternative proposal that is more active, this one. It uses “tags” instead of “flairs”, but the idea is essentially the same.

Or, maybe, the 99% is a lie

The second best result ever in terms of popular vote was Trump 2020, only behind Biden 2020. So it is close enough to half of America.

Ozymandias, is it you?

That relies on human brains that are trained. LLMs are not human brains. “Training” them is not the same thing as teaching humans about something.

Circular reasoning. “LLMs are different from human brains because they are different”.

Also, why did you felt compelled to add the adjective “human”? Don’t you consider that gorillas, dolphins, octopuses or dogs are intelligent, capable of learn new things?

Human brains are way more complicated than just a bunch of weighed correlations.

And that is the problem of your argument. You seem to believe that intelligence is all-or-nothing, that anything that hasn’t a human-level intelligence is not intelligent at all. Of course human brains are more complicated that current LLMs, nobody has ever disputed that. But concluding that they aren’t and will never be intelligent because they aren’t as complicated is a huge non-sequitur.

It also matters because that would be a truly amazing, world-changing thing if we could create intelligence out of thin air, some statistics, and a lot of data.

We do it routinely. It is called Education System.
