alt Hacker NewsIsrael's AI targeting system: how data from a phone become a death sentence

What an upsetting read. This is just how you "breed" more terrorism.
Is this Palentir related ?
> Ever since the spectacular pager attacks of September 2024
Describing one of the worst terror attacks on civilian targets, committed by Israel, as "spectacular" is a new level of manufacturing consent I have not seen before. Disgusting.
>a small village less than three miles from the Israeli border which had turned into a battlefield during Israel’s campaign against Hezbollah in 2024.
Classic New York Times style writing. This sentence should say “Israel attacked this village as part of its invasion of southern Lebanon and Hezbollah defended it”
Imagine if this whitewashing were done to Russia: Karkiv, a small city 10 miles from the Russian boarder which had turned into a battlefield during Russia’s campaign against Zelenski in 2022”

No wonder there is so much hate towards Israel. Hasbara, is an Israeli thing to improve their image by telling lies.

Sounds to me like this is just signature strikes but replacing the analysts with AI.
And to think many would cheer if it were being applied to ends they approve of (enforcing some petty domestic law with fines and bureaucrats instead of taking foreign soil with bombs and soldiers, or whatever).
This is the fate that awaits us all once the machines take over
This is an impressive system and great that it’s put to good use by eliminating terrorists.

That's obviously not an outcome Israel is overly concerned about.
