I was aware that Aramis and of course the various royals and aristocrats were real, but not the individual soldiers. Loved this novel growing, seems like the Count of Monte Cristo is seen as more 'serious' literature, but the Three Musketeers will always have a special place in my mind.

It's more that their names were real, but their descriptions and their actions in the books are almost entirely fictional.

Such low karma for a numinous presence!

The only thing that I find AI is consistently excellent at is giving me a snippet to do something particularly esoteric in my shell and parsing out errors from a massive logfile that I would probably have taken an order of magnitude longer to find myself.

There's no maybe about it, he has openly identified as such.

Practically every major company in the LLM space claims to have a core mission of pursuing AGI, just like Keen.

I don't understand what point you're trying to make. Keen isn't in the LLM space.

>I didn't do it to make a career, I did it because I believe in the greater ethos of OSS.

The greater ethos of OSS, as it is conceived of by most of its practitioners isn't "source availability is the same thing".

This rather implies that simply being elected casts a binding on officials that forces them to pursue popular will with their mandate.

The last article you opined on with this really bizarre line of reasoning was written by a journalist and published in an outlet who have been critiquing all those administrations. You chose to steer the discussion toward political affiliation. So for you, torturing children for 'crimes' of their parents is much less prescient morally than who raises the complaint.

I don’t understand your point.

The articles main thrust is that prior administrations gathered up all kinds of immigrants for deportation, not just violent criminals. ( BTW, current deportations include over 10% convicted violent criminals ). What’s the tie to torturing children?

I take it that literally every NGO in this space and genocide scholars are all in on the lie?

But not the video in the OP which demonstrates that the IDF were, in fact firing on aid workers and refugees as they had been accused of, and certainly not the hours of footage of the IDF brazenly taking human shields over the years while insisting they didn't, or the reports of the IDF arming settlers. Curious that you can't enumerate any of these, and you're happy to take at face value a claim the IDF makes but doesn't allow independent third parties to verify (a Hamas bunker w/ data center equipment directly underneath the UNRWA HQ in Gaza) while abjuring such behaviour.

Independent 3rd parties were brought in to verify, though.

I already said I don't condone any instances of legitimate war crimes. I don't think enumerating everything that has ever happened by either side is very useful. But it's a fact that both sides lie flagrantly about atrocities. Lots of the footage in the early days of the war that was claimed to be from Gaza was actually recycled from the Syrian civil war.

If you want me to start listing some BS that Israel has done, fine - the calendar stunt was ridiculous (if you have followed the conflict, you probably have heard of it). What goes on in the west bank is disgraceful. There are plenty of statements by Israeli politicians that are basically genocidal language (though you can play that game with most countries, random US politicians say psychotic shit all the time).

>Independent 3rd parties were brought in to verify, though.

Reuters was given an IDF escort as they were walked through the tunnel system, during which a room with some servers was called a Hamas data centre, and they nodded along. That's not quite the same thing.

>Lots of the footage in the early days of the war that was claimed to be from Gaza was actually recycled from the Syrian civil war.

Lots of footage that Hamas or advocates for Palestine released or Twitter randos? Not all of those things are equivalent to Israel making a claim.

Can you link to those reports?
