Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields demonstrates their understanding that Israel holds the moral high ground. They know killing innocent Palestinians gives Israel pause while they have no such compunction.

Yes. While morally repugnant, it's strategically intelligent. Especially when they know the world won't hold them to the same standards as Western Civ.

Thank you and agree. Lots of redpill happening the last few weeks, but so many are unreachable and won't learn until it's too late for them.

You're using one of the new networks right now.

Absolutely. Also spending significantly more time on small, cultivated chat groups on Signal and elsewhere.

“Deaths that were preventable by the AI that was prevented from existing is a form of murder.”

This is ridiculous hyperbole. Will any deaths caused by the proliferation of AI be a form of murder?

No innovation or lack of innovation comes without consequences.

There are concerns in both sides. Accusing those espousing a precautionary principle in this case as murderers is absurd.

Agree. But it's less a human making this distinction, and more speculation as to what and how a superintelligent AI might categorize these actions. Especially one unbound by the normal human emotions and risk-aversion.

Potentially, nothing. But the ideal is still a nuclear family with an active, present father and mother. Kids model what they see. And it's easier for a father to exit if not in a marriage. This is a general observation though and may not be relevant to your "friend's" particular situation.
