What's interesting from a practical standpoint: the paper confirms what we're seeing in SME deployments – AI augments, not replaces. But the real productivity gain only kicks in when you redesign the process around the AI, not just bolt it on. Most small businesses skip that step entirely and then wonder why their 'AI tool' isn't delivering. The organizational restructuring is the hard part, not the technology. Anyone here seen teams actually get this right systematically?

Can you give an example of how such a redesigned process might look like?

> Most of what you watch is edited purposefully

And what you watch is unabridged truth?

The American/Israeli media empire is 100x larger than anything Hamas can disseminate. The "media is dishonest" excuse doesn't apply to Hamas any more than it does to the Israeli Military Censor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli_Military_Censor

I don't watch, I talk to real people who are first hand witnesses. Second, Israel doesn't own any media empire, what exactly do you mean? Third, Hamas doesn't need to dismantle any media organization, they got Qatar with their own world wide media empire of AlJazeera.

Plenty of israeli leaders are very open about what should be done with Amalek

But you are right, the real victim is the guy who magdumped a child on camera, he is scarred for life

These populists, so called leaders, don't represent everyone and are hated by many. In war everyone loses, and you seem to ignore the fact that there are two sides here. Normative people don't wake up in the morning wanting to murder children for fun. Your cartoonish image of Israelis as some kind of horned monsters is ridiculous.

> Israel is interested in the fall of the Iranian regime, a thing that can only happen if the Iranian people will rebel against it.

I personally don't believe in such appeals to rationality of parties waging wars. The issue is: if you wage a war, you can't control precisely what is going on. No one can. Like MH17 was shot down by pro-Russian separatists: who was interested in it? No one was, but still MH17 was shot down.

Israel bombed schools, it probably did it without clear intent to bomb them, but at the same time it means it is not very concerned about a couple of hundred of underage causalities. Like it was (and it is) not at all concerned about Palestinian causalities in Gaza. Moreover to my mind, it is the strategic stance of Israel: to be as brutal as possible to make neighbors to fear Israel. Israel does it for decades, it does it every time it wages a war. It means that now it just cannot wage a war without demonstrations of brutality. Even if it wanted to it just cannot, because on all levels of command people were taught to demonstrate brutality, and they were not taught how to wage war surgically. You can't overcome such a training on so many levels with a carefully crafted prompt.

> do you know the actual source for this claim? I don’t mean the news outlet, I mean what entity gave this to the news outlet.

"Mizan News Agency, the judiciary’s official news agency, reported the death toll..."

"Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi shared a photo of the attack, which..."

Ok, so the Iranian regime itself published this news? And you don’t even question it?

Seems like we’re on such polar ends, there’s no hope in discussion.

Why? Is the international condemnation of occupied territories fake news?

fortzi · 13 days ago

No, the condemnation is real…

Killing kids on camera, burning people in hospitals alive, running them over in bulldozers is pretty much genocide. You can easily find these videos on internet (I don't recommend watching them even if you watch cartel beheadings for fun)

fortzi · 13 days ago

No, these things do not constitute a genocide. Genocide is the purposeful extermination of a people. What you’re describing are other alleged war crimes. While it’s a catchy and horrifying word that’s very useful against Israel, it’s dishonest to use it in this case.

All the things you described are indeed horrifying on their own, and I believe there are cases where Israeli forces did some of these things unjustifiably.

You must be asking yourself what the hell could be justified. Well, I’ve heard first accounts of kids being sent first as scouts in the battlefield, into a kill box, trying to pinpoint Israeli forces. Once the scout goes back and reports on the force’s location, an accurate barrage of RPGs will be shot at them. You can’t go into the kill box to stop them by arresting them. What would you have done? I do not envy the person that has to make that call, they are now scarred for life.

Justified? No? You pick between the life of that kid and the lives of the people under your command. Both choices are bad, this isn’t Hollywood.

Most of what you watch is edited purposefully and doesn’t give you any context for the purpose of recruiting the public opinion. It’s working amazingly.

No. Any other questions, or do you want to just continue feigning interest in having an actual conversation?

fortzi · 13 days ago

Why not?

>Iran are the good guys?

No. But they are a sovereign nation who didn't directly bomb the US or its allies.

>They've funded Hamas, Hezbollah and the Houthis for decades. They've assassinated dissidents on foreign soil. They sentence people to death for apostasy and flog women for not wearing hijab correctly.

You want to know who the US has funded? You want to know who Israel has funded?

I mean, shit, the US took out Iran's democratically elected government in the 1970s and was a huge fan of the Mullahs because they let us steal Iranian oil. The same secular Iranian government that was quite literally the first middle eastern country to recognize the existence of Israel, and was a leading secular state in a region of ass-backwards religious nutcases.

Israel has refused to acknowledge the obvious existence of its nuclear weapons program while Iran is a full member of the IAEA and allows for full international inspection of its uranium facilities.

Fuck, the Israelis engage in massive blackmailing operations of their own "allies" (see Epstien, Jeffrey) , attack their own "allies" (see USS Liberty attack), and have tried to goad its "allies" into carrying out attacks on their behalf. They are a tiny bully that starts shit they cannot handle themselves, and American lives are sacrificed because of it.

fortzi · 13 days ago

Israel is not threatening to annihilate any country, while Iran is vowing to.

How can you even make this comparison?
