People across the world already very well know that Trump is unpopular. That is not the problem. The problem is that you guys continue to just allow that guy to run your country.

As long as there isn't massive civil unrest in the country, it looks like from an outside perspective as if you're just letting him do whatever he wants without much resistance. Writing some insults isn't going to change that perspective.

You're just skipping over the obvious choice of chopsticks, I see.

We can argue about about how long you can squat someone's house before it's morally acceptable to keep living in it, and how much the crimes of the parents transfer to the children (if at all), and those are conversations that require some nuance.

However, specifically when it comes to Israel, you have to remember that the state was established within living memory. Many of the stolen houses were stolen by people living in them right now, and they're actively being stolen. You frame it as a completed and long past action done by our forefathers, but this isn't really accurate. It's an actively ongoing process, right?

The problem is that there has already been very heavy meddeling, for as long as the Israeli state has existed. In fact, the existence of the state is a direct result of that exact outside meddling.

It's not exactly 'fair' to put someone in another's house, give them a gun and then say "further meddling is not allowed".

Besides, no country can practically exist without "outside meddling". What about international trade? If you trade with groups aligned with one side but not the other, is that meddling? What about diaspora? There's a lot of displaced Palestinians and a lot of Jews who would both like to move into the same place. This has to be in part facilitated by the host countries, right? And there are many other small and large decision you have to make.

What you're asking for is:

  1. Practically impossible.
  2. Enabling an ongoing genocide (since that is, seemingly, how Israel is currently aiming to achieving "peaceful homes" for themselves).

That's true, and I did consider them, but that's still driven primarily by living Jews still, I think.

There are (unfortunately) significantly fewer Jews than if the Holocaust never happened. The same cannot be said about gay people. Jewish people come from other Jewish people. Gay people come from straight people 'spontaneously'.

What if you build it on an asteroid or moon or planet. Uranus is ~-225⁰C, right?

Lots of scientific progress was made before the capitalist mode of production, so "laboring to produce capital" is anachronistic.

The core point you're making is correct though. Only certain classes of people (rich people and monks) were freed up by the surplus of production of what is required to sustain life.

The joke is that deaf people have been farting freely, thinking nobody could know they tooted. It's the fact other people know that's important here.

We cannot know, in the same way we cannot know that it doesn't contain code that is hand-written on graph paper and scanned in via OCR.

The standards for code submissions for the kernel are extremely high, and their review process very strict and complete. There are no barriers stopping LLM generated code from entering the code base, but the barrier of entry for the code quality itself is so high that you have to submit code at the quality of a seasoned and competent engineer.

Ultimately, does it matter that the code was LLM written if the quality is sufficiently high?

  1. The prompt says explicitly that you have to sit on it. You can only do that once (and realistically, zero times).
  2. The bench implies but doesn't guarantee to summon the people. Given it works on future/past people also, you're probably chatting with their spirit or something.

The problem with this approach is twofold.

  1. The AI doesn't know what anything is either. It can annotate faster than you, but if it is all wrong, that doesn't help.
  2. The primary reason the code is bad, and something the AI is particularly weak at without a human doing much of the thinking for it is architecture. Working your way through ship-of-theseus-style isn't going to address the fundamental reason the code is difficult to work with. The architecture.
