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…

There haven't been may israeli lives lost besides those in october 7th. The blood used to pay has only been Palestine.

Due to the Iron Dome and shelter in every apartment building. The government prioritizes defense of its citizens.

I think Meta employees don’t protest either for the genocides its platforms aided and supported or the other harms caused to kids in general. Maybe the pay is so good that one can convince oneself they’re on the good side. Maybe these companies attract a certain type of personality that doesn’t necessarily care much about others.

The answer is that responsibility is diffused. Very few people are actively building the 'Genocide Palestine' or the 'Illegally detain and torture immigrants' system, but a lot of people have submitted CLs to microservices that the 'Genocide Palestine' system (as well as a thousand others) calls.

Modern America is the complete antithesis of 'The Buck Stops Here.' It's more of an 'I have absolute power, and none of the accountability' sort of place.

If the president, or one of his armed, masked thugs with a license to kill can't ever be held accountable for the evil, vile shit they do, why should some low-level SWE feel any remorse or responsibility for those CLs?

The solution? Don't tolerate it. Don't settle for no accountability. Don't think this is no big deal, or business as usual. The only way out of this, if power is ever taken back, is disproportionate punishment for the guilty. The country can move on and heal after justice is fairly apportioned.

Incidentally, both war crimes, and deprivation of rights under color of law are capital crimes in the United States.

I doubt most people at Meta feel responsible for that. Surely people at Palantir understand that it's effectively the stated mission of their job.

Not really. Drones give you pretty good tracking/murdering capability. I suspect ground based systems either similar characteristics will be deployed soon.

It’s easier to use psyops and cause fear and uncertainty.

> but the Gaza genocide War is not a genocide.

So edgy; is being an apologist really the noble calling you think it is? Both are just words, mappings to concepts in our minds; "genocide" is an invented term, but it has a widely shared definition that the UN helped formalize, and in the minds of many, many people all over the world, the term applies here.

"War" could one day be waged against whatever group you belong to, as well. You may wish for the country waging it to follow the Geneva Convention so that your sons gain a small chance of becoming POWs and returning to you, instead of being destroyed by an autonomous drone. Comments like yours endorse the actions that are being done; we're beginning to recognize the term "hasbara" for them.
