Extra dose of saturated fat should be a concern even for non-vegetarians.

All of these examples are many centuries old, let's compare apples to apples.

Maybe I lost this battle, but also in science the terminology evolves. If you replace AI hallucination with AI confabulation even your grandmaother would get it right. I also don't agree that both terms are equally inaccurate.

Obviously, hallucination is by definition a perception, so it incorrectly anthropomorphizes AI models. On the other hand, the term confabulation involves filling in gaps with fabrication, exactly what LLMs do (aka bullshitting).

The more accurate word would be confabulation

Fully agreed, this Gil Kopatz could as well write articles in Der Stürmer. The same rhetoric was used by the Nazis. For instance, they compared Jews to rats:

Thank you, this is what I wanted to know:

"‘If you feed Gazans, they eventually eat you,’ the Israeli stand-up comedian Gil Kopatz posted. ‘It’s not genocide, it’s pesticide.’ According to a survey commissioned by Penn State, more than 80 per cent of Israeli Jews now support the expulsion of Gazans. Compassion for Palestinians is taboo except among a fringe of radical activists. When Ayman Odeh, a Palestinian member of the Knesset, posted a tweet celebrating a recent prisoner exchange, he was denounced for seeming to equate the predicament of jailed Palestinians and Jewish hostages: ‘Your presence pollutes the Knesset,’ a colleague told him."

Both Hamas and Isreal to enforce peace

At the moment, the two sides only agree on wishing the other dead. So even in the ideal world it is a very remote possibility.

In ideal world international peacekeeping forces would be deployed in Gaza. The peace and two state solution could only be enforced by imposing severe sanctions on Israel including possibility of aerial NATO strikes like in the former Yugoslavia.

One photo among many others, didn't say it was one child only!

It also could be that Israel propagandists send them to journalists to discredit any other valid evidence of starvation, which is more than abundant

Exposed by whom? Israeli propadandists?

Even if one of the photos among many represents a child with some other underlying condition apart from malnutrition, does this mean that starvation in Gaza does not exist?

People getting shot dead trying to get food is also fake news?

What a repulsive person you are!

You should also reconsider what you consumes.

Must be some nasty stuff if you claim that Gaza children starvation is a media conspiracy fueled by BBC and Unicef.

So being a former video game journalist, makes all his arguments void.

Thank you for your imput!

All of this resembles techniques of Op Art, for instance Fangor's works:

He's just a zombi - Google AI can't be wrong of course, given hundreds of billions they're pouring into it.

Yet another argument for switching to DuckDuckGo

Everyone is afraid of killer robots, but the end of humanity could be more prosaic. A very sublte influence by selecting search results and the right social media feed to the user, and then AI chatbots giving always right answers, playing simultaneous roles of a psychoterapist, a parent, a lover.

I think I got so upset by people needlessly dying in Gaza that maybe I went too far in this discussion. Obviously, the war and genocide don't necessarily exclude each other.

Agreed, I was blown away by some of his achievements, like AlphaGo. Still I'm not very much convinced that AGI is around the corner yet, even if he appears to claim otherwise.

Citation needed on how corruption levels in a EU country depend on adopting the common currency

Inflation rose everywhere in Europe due to the economic shock caused by the pandemic and the war in Ukraine.

In 2022 inflation rate in Poland was 14% compared to 8% in Spain for example.

2024 figure (for Poland) was down to 4%.

Still it's the sales pitch that allowed it. This is why I'm sceptical about his AGI views. Is this his genuine opinion or just the hype he's interested in sustaining as an AI startup owner?

Well, even being part of Google doesn't mean that you have infinite funds at your disposal. Recently, his startup raised 600 million.

"The drug development artificial intelligence (AI) startup founded by Google DeepMind co-founder and CEO Demis Hassabis has raised $600 million in its first external funding round."

Your whole argumentation is flawed with gross intellectual dishonesty. I'm talking Gaza genocide that is happening here and now - but your argumentation is like 'But what about Hannibal's atrocities in 216 B.C.?'. I don't deny other peoples were colonized and decimated in the process (like Native Americans obviously) -- their fate and suffering IS important, however it does not have any bearing on what is happening now in Gaza Strip.

Do you mean a report by the Israeli-based lawyer Trevor Asserson, maybe?

https://campaignformediastandards.org.uk/asserson-report.pdf

If so, then you're spreading misinformation. This is not a study. It's a report sponsored by Israel. It has flawed methodology and they made heavy use of ChatGPT.

I rest my case.

This guy has a vested interest in talking nonsense about AGI to attract investors' money and government subsidies worth billions.

Privately, he doesn't think it's likely in next 25 years.

Maybe because it happened 1000 years ago and there are people being killed in Gaza at this very moment?

I didn't mention any HN rules, so you're mainly arguing with yourself.

Shooting at mothers trying to get humanitarian aid for their starving children does not fulfil any definition of war I am aware of.

Read history books yourself. Once one side of a war becomes dominant, it just ends.

Unless it is not really a war but a hideous genocide campaign cynically carried out by Israeli government under the pretext of self-defensive war.

Stop telling lies about Gaza conflict being "war". Israeli military has absolute superiority over Palestinians. What it is is a genocidal campaign meant to wipe them off the face of the Earth.

Also, stop using the Holocaust as a propaganda tool. My grandfather happened to be a Buchenwald concentration camp survival. It didn't give him or anybody else any right to violate Geneva convention.

They suspended they nuclear program 20 years ago. Still they keep enriching uranium as a kind of insurance policy.

This is what US intelligence has been saying for years (as opposed to Israel who has vested interest in denying this).
