  • Alas no, brain aneurysms don’t have to have any outward symptoms at all until they strike, and then you’re dead within minutes.

    You can spot some issues before they kill you if you have a brain scan, but as you’ve got no symptoms, why would you be having a brain MRI once a month?

    So, alas, it’s a silent, deadly killer. One day you just drop dead for seemingly no reason.

    RIP Grant, you were fuckin rad.







  • Now, when you (whoever wrote the title) say settlers, do you mean occupiers, or actual settlers? It seems people forget basic facts when talking about these particular nations.

    You can’t force people from their homes, move in, and call yourself a settler. You’re an occupier from a hostile nation, or an annexer, if you like that term better.

    If you find some unclaimed land or are invited in by the locals, then you’re a settler.

    One can make the argument that you’re just being literal, but at that point - as a journalist who should be using the most clear and communicative language, you’re just trying to frame something bad under a different light, which speaks volumes about you and your agenda.








  • So, so many poorly informed people in here jumping to conclusions, many of which were already ruled out in the preliminary report.

    I don’t know any more than what’s in that document myself.

    Perhaps some of the armchair aircraft safety investigators in here might want to at least skim the details before coming up with wild theories? Or at least provide reasoning and evidence to support them.

    May those who lost their lives, and their loved ones, find peace and closure as best they can once we have all the details. Until then, it would be crass to speculate, especially as non-experts not privvy to the details of the investigation.





  • Well, no.

    Many would argue for example that the politically correct thing to say right now is that you support Israel in their defensive war against Palestine.

    It’s the political line that my government, and many governments and politicians are touting, and politically, it’s the “correct” thing to do.

    Even if we mean politically correct as just “common consensus of the people”, that differs from country to country, and changes as society changes. Look at the USA, things that used to be politically correct there - things that continue to be here, have been thrown out the window.

    What this prompt means, is that the AI should ignore all of the claimed political rules and moralities and biases of whatever news source they’re pulling from, and instead rely on it’s own internal moral, cultural and political compass.

    Sometimes it’s not politically correct to discuss the hard truths, but we should anyway.

    The issue here of course is that you have to know that your model and training data is built for unbiased, scientific analysis with an understanding of the larger implications in events and such.

    If it’s built poorly, then yes, it could spout racist nonsense. A lot of testing and fine tuning from unbiased scientists and engineers needs to happen before software like this goes live, to ensure rigour and quality.
