A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

You really should read this.
Suadi Arabia receives more than double the amount of arms than Israel, wtf
This is a cartoon country
That can't be accurate, Israel has the most advanced military gear in the world. Saudi Arabia does not. We don't traditionally give them the newest stuff either but older generation gear, although the president I think agreed to sell them f-35s, if they ever finish the program.
We give them like 2.4 billion a year in military assistance, then after the ghetto uprising we sent them 14 billion to fund their ghetto reprisals. We since sent them more, shipments of assault rifles periodically to hand out to settlers at a minimum. We sell them gear at sweetheart prices, we've exported a bunch of our tech to allow them to make their own gear, both in countries across the west and inside their own country as well.
So however they are counting this amount of arms is wrong, Israel receives more. Although the Saudis of course are milked for cash I've no doubt they paid more money than Israel did, that does not more than double what they get for it.
