Iran and its proxies frequently target civilians. They would make an exception for the US?

How many American civilians have Iran killed? I would not consider Zionists to be civilians, they're literally living on stolen land.

Crazy that saying 'all Israeli's and Israel supporters are fair targets to kill' (and later stated this includes children) is not just not dead, but not even downvoted here.

WTF

What about 100 thousand dead protesters? A million? I'm curious to know what you consider a reasonable exchange rate.

I don’t have an exchange rate when it comes to dealing with lives of children. That’s a reprehensible statement.

The people that run hospitals, build safety devices, approve drugs, issue insurance, etc etc all do. I certainly hope the people that drop bombs do too.

Look up Value of a Statistical Life, Value of a Statistical Life Year, and Age Weighting.

I think most people understand that if a land is invaded, that the invaders are valid targets for resistance.

The article you're responding to is making specific operational claims about Claude's (basically non-) relevance. I'd be interested to hear if you're directionally correct, but forgive me if I need more details than "but it integrates Claude".

Directionally correct is the other kind of emdash.

It's my understanding that they predate llms, and internet snivel.

Declaring that some groups (including that groups children) don't count as civilians is what leads to this:

No, apartheid and genocide lead to backlash.

The well known food brand was run by a card carrying wafen-SS member name Oetker who used his influence with the party to get sweetheart deals to supply the Wehrmacht. It’s an odd choice. I’m not expressing disdain for the part of international law that bans human shields. I’m saying that civilian infrastructure near military infrastructure is not that. The “Rome Statute” - the accepted name for the law you are calli…

> There is never a justification for intentionally bombing a grade school. Period. let me focus on this word "intentionally", intent. When I take the ladder I hid somewhere else under the bridge, and climb in my secret homeless bum nest, I am taking that ladder with intent. So I know intent exists. When I intend thin gs I do them intentionally, and sometimes I don't intend things like accidentally knocking over someo…

That’s a lot of words trying to reason around destroying several hundred families by liquifying their children due to negligent intel.

Here’s how we handle this: fuck semantics. If your missile is targeted at and destroys a school, you should be held responsible. In fact, you can remove the school from the equation. If you aim a weapon at something, and fire the weapon, you are responsible for the outcome. If the outcome is a destroyed military base, congrats, you get credit for that. If the outcome is children being returned to their parents in closed caskets, you better believe you get the blame for that. Bad targeting data is the responsibility of those doing the targeting, not the people being targeted.

We already have laws around all this. The school bombing was unequivocally a war crime.

I’m not going to hear any more stupid ideas about how we can change laws to shift the responsibility for not getting obliterated by a missile onto civilians.
