murder

How can citizens of our planet, The Earth, be in conflict with, and killing citizens who speak another language, or follow a different political system?

Are our leaders completely insane, or are they more more concerned with amassing income from the defense industry?

Do our leaders care nothing for our environment and the burning of fossil fuels?

We stand on the precipice of a Third World War led by demented old men.

Who will step forth to repair to the World?

Lavender, Israel’s artificial intelligence system that decides who to bomb in Gaza

Israel has crossed another line in the automation of war. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have developed a program supported by artificial intelligence (AI) to select the victims of its bombings, a process that traditionally needs to be manually verified until a person can be confirmed to be a target. Called Lavender, this system identified 37,000 Palestinians as potential targets during the first weeks of the war, and between October 7 and November 24, it was used in at least 15,000 murders in the invasion of Gaza, according to a journalistic investigation by two Israeli media, +972 Magazine and Local Call, which was published in The Guardian.
