"Palantir's AI" is Anthropic Claude.
Depends on specific cases, I have on good authority of how in few "bleeding edge" ones they essentially repacked/wrapped YOLOv3. Purpose was specifically tracking in adversarial conditions (smoke, including smokescreen, obstacles, etc)
why draw the line on palantir? why not involve microsoft amd intel who provides their computers, or car manufacturers that provides their vehicles? been seeing lots of these attacks on defense companies without providing a better alternative and a concrete plan they can execute

No, “whataboutism” is using shifting a conversation to a different issue. For example:
Person A: "The democrats did X!"
Person B: "But the republicans..."
Person B is engaging in whataboutism.
I am not discussing Hutu. What I am doing is I am providing you an example why the reasoning that majority is never wrong is a fallacy via an example.

Neither because of yours. Palestinians shoot rockets towards civilians for the past 20 years. Tells us quite a lot who’s the “genocidal” here.
> I don't need to rehash every factual news article on the topic to justify my position, nor do I need you to rehash the glazing opinion pieces that justify yours; we won't move the needle that way, will we?
I am not trying to change your mind. I am posting here for others to see your double standards and flaws in your reasoning. They will see and judge themselves.

Interesting choice of words here. Should I ask you not to blow yourself on the bus, or in a cafe? Or in a wedding? This is good that you wrote it, it shows exactly what I wanted to see.

Doesn't the Geneva Convention state that if militants build an underground base beneath a civilian building, that civilian building becomes a military target? Gaza is Swiss-cheesed with hundreds of miles of military tunnels. If any attack on a tunnel is disallowed because of civilian buildings above it, I predict many countries will start adopting the Hamas strategy of putting military bases under civilian buildings.…
I do not blame the people of Palestine for taking the defensive actions they deem correct. I do not consent to the idea of civilians becoming legitimate targets due to defensive architecture. Yes, war crimes are being committed; your comment makes you bear complicity to them, in a small degree, as you serve as an apologist for such actions online. Of course, both of our posting is pointless, as we know neither will c…

Can Israelis act as they see fit in defense, or no?

I'll just quote Wikipedia for you:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casualties_of_the_Gaza_war
> As of 21 February 2026, at least 75,226 people (73,188+ Palestinians[4] and 2,039+ Israelis)[7][8][9][10] have been reported killed in the Gaza war according to the Gaza Health Ministry (GHM) and Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including 248 journalists and media workers,[11] 120 academics,[12] and over 224 humanitarian aid workers, a number that includes 179 employees of UNRWA.[13] Scholars have estimated 80% of Palestinians killed were civilians.[6][5][14] A study by OHCHR, which verified fatalities from three independent sources, found that 70% of the Palestinians killed in residential buildings or similar housing were women and children.[15][16]

Nope, that's the wrong prejudice for my intersectional group, but it certainly reveals some of your own biases.

The only situation in which 2A will stop mattering is if the government decides it is willing to level American cities to achieve its future goals. You cannot kick down doors with AI. You cannot infiltrate meetings with AI (well, at least not if the meeting holders have good opsec). AI is great if you want to identify targets, but it does not move the needle very much on an occupation. If you want to preserve the are…
Not really. Drones give you pretty good tracking/murdering capability. I suspect ground based systems either similar characteristics will be deployed soon.

It appears as though they will act as they see fit - defensively or otherwise - regardless of my position on the topic.
Well, you stated your position multiple times w.r.t. Palestinian rights, so I think for the sake of completeness you can state your position on the rights of Israelis as well.
So, do the Israelis have a right to act as they see fit, or no?

And? What do these figures tell you? You are accepting a very lazy explanation for the disparity in the number of casualties and calling a day.
I will give you an example where with the same logic you will arrive to an unconventional conclusion. There was order of magnitudes more German civilians killed by the US forces during WW2 than the other way around. Does it mean that Nazi Germany are the good guys here? Probably no.
One alternative explanation why there was more Palestinians killed than Israelis is because:
1. Israelis have shelters, so they have places to hide from rockets
2. Israelis have Iron Dome and alert systems to alert civilians of incoming rockets
Palestinians did not have these things. Moreover, Gaza's government used underground facilities only for military purposes and did not allow civilians to hide there for the duration of hostilities.
As a result, it is reasonable to assume that there will be more causalities on the side that has fewer defenses.
But, you can stick to your intellectually lazy argument that paints a very specific picture.
> Nope, that's the wrong prejudice for my intersectional group, but it certainly reveals some of your own biases.
You have no idea what my biases are. You were the one who went with personal insinuations, not me. I just showed you that this type of discourse is not very productive as it lead nowhere.
So, what did your pager anxiety outburst tell us about your biases?
