How is everyone barely talking about this? I get that AI stealing artists' commisions is bad, but Israel literally developed a database that can look at CCTV footage, determine someone deemed a terrorist from the database, and automatically launch a drone strike against them with min human approval.

How is everyone barely talking about this? I get that AI stealing artists’ commisions is bad, but Israel literally developed a database that can look at CCTV footage, determine someone deemed a terrorist from the database, and automatically launch a drone strike against them with min human approval.

I was looking into the issue of the usage of AI in modern weapons for the model UN, and just kinda casually found out that Israel developed the technology to have a robot autonomously kill anyone the government wants to kill the second their face shows up somewhere. Why do people get so worked up about AI advertisements and AI art, and barely anyone is talking about the Gospel and Lavender systems, which already can kill with minimal human oversight? According to an Israeli army official: "I would invest 20 seconds for each target at this stage, and do dozens of them every day. I had zero added-value as a human, apart from being a stamp of approval. It saved a lot of time."

The ChatGPT 5 Backlash Is Concerning.

This was originally posted this in the ChatGPT sub, and it was seemingly removed so I wanted to post it here. Not super familiar with reddit but I really wanted to share my sentiments.

I do want to preface that this is NOT coming from a place of judgement, but rather my observation and inviting discussion. Not trying to look down on anyone. TLDR: The removal of GPT-4o revealed how deeply some people rely on AI as companions, with reactions resembling grief. This level of attachment to something a company can alter or remove at any time gives those companies significant influence over people’s emotional lives and that’s where ...

The meltdown of r/chatGPT has make me realize how dependant some people are of these tools

i used to follow r/CharactersAI and at some point the subreddit got hostile. it stopped being about creative writing or rp and turned into people being genuinely attached to these things. i’m pro ai and its usage has made me more active on social media, removed a lot of professional burdens, and even helped me vibe code a local note-taking web app that works exactly how i wanted after testing so many apps made for the majority. it also pushed me to finish abandoned excel projects and gave me clarity in parts of my personal life. charactersai made some changes and the posts there became unbearable. at first i thought it was just the subreddit or the type of user. but now i see how dependent some people are on these tools. the gpt-5 update caused a full meltdown. so many posts were from peop...
