Good catch, thanks. I added the original posting date, which was not in the newsletter itself.

I’ve been reading a lot of articles from 972, and I don’t see evidence of that. Do they explicitly call for the destruction of the Zionist state? No, but that doesn’t make 972 a liberal Zionist rag. (In fact, their latest issue explicitly takes on liberal Israelis on the Gaza genocide.)

If you have some examples where they took bad positions on something concrete, please send them to me. I could be wrong.

Ilana Glazer happens to be in the center of the photo.

I don’t understand your logic here. Clearly, the kid had problems that were not caused by ChatGPT. And his suicidal thoughts were not started by ChatGPT. But OpenAI acknowledged that the longer the engagement continues the more likely that ChatGPT will go off the rails. Which is what happened here. At first, ChatGPT was giving the standard correct advice about suicide lines, etc. Then it started getting darker, where it was telling the kid to not let his mother know how he was feeling. Then it progressed to actual suicide coaching. So I don’t think the analogy to videogames is correct here.

A Palestinian friend who lived in my neighborhood in the US is there now, in his family’s home. He said it was like 3 nights in a war zone.

The hashtags were added in Mastodon and I forgot to remove them in Lemmy, sorry.

Just removed them - sorry about that.

I’m pretty sure that you can click by that and still read the full article.

OK, thanks for the heads-up.

Most of us here know that, but many others beyond the Fediverse are still not convinced. Video documentation and expert testimony of horrible crimes is often effective in changing public opinion.

I should have mentioned the most important factor was the heroic struggle and sacrifice of the Vietnamese people, which did inflict many casualties on the US.

But the massive demonstrations in the US and around the world helped change the consciousness of millions, which ultimately even affected the thinking of the troops fighting in Vietnam. Many times the representatives of the NLF and DRV recognized the vital role of the US antiwar movement.

Unfortunately, both the USSR and China did not do much to help Vietnam, and Nixon was able to play them off pretty well.

Massive and sustained peaceful protests often do work, as they did against the US war in Vietnam. I can’t imagine how confronting local Zionists would do anything to help Palestine be free.

Many opposed Harris because she continued very active support to the Israeli genocide. Very few believed Trump would be better.

Yeah, he was so much better than Trump. /s
