The term "Zionist" is anachronistic: it's like referring to someone who recognizes the existence of the USA and/or supports the USA as an "American revolutionary". The revolution happened, so now that term has been retired. Likewise, Israel exists, so we can retire "Zionist".

Anthropic had better get its capacity issues under control, or they will resolve themselves as customers jump ship. And then, because the issue is demand, they can't grant weekly resets like their competitors.

Looks like Claude's stingier usage policy has now kicked in ("up until 08/15 you will continue to enjoy 50% additional usage" or something to that effect). While I prefer Claude models, I can't justify maintaining three subscriptions if they now only buy two subscriptions.

Codex reset @ 10% weekly left. Thank you, OpenAI!

"Silent Running" is the closest representation in film to working with AI agents.

Major Claude outage. Looking forward to the weekly reset and/or to more robustly evaluating competition.

Muslim chauvinists and leftists believe that transfer is far worse than "genocide"; otherwise, they would have begged Israel and Egypt to allow safe passage of refugees for the duration of Israel's war with Hamas.

It would have been so much more effective Soviet propaganda to name the Arabs of the Mandate Canaanites rather than Palestinians, since the Canaanites were an actual, historic people (unlike the Palestinians); and the Palestinians are actually descended in large part from them.

@grok : let's do some math. Take the current # of alleged dead Gazans and divide it by the total # of Palestinians in the region (i.e. in Gaza, the W. Bank, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Turkey, etc.). (a) what is that pct? (b) Multiply it by 9.5M (# of Jews in Europe prior to WWII).

Would someone kindly explain to me how "Palestine" differs from al-Andalus? Why are Israelis an illegitimate, settler-colonial group, yet the Spanish are the legitimate, native, sovereign collective of their country?

Either there is a genocide taking place in Gaza and surrounding Arab countries don't care to take in refugees, or there is no genocide taking place. Which is it? Egypt is literally across the street in Rafah and the gate is sealed shut.

Is there any greater proof that Muslims hate Palestinians than that none of those countries have accepted Gazans in as refugees? Egypt is literally on the other side of the gate in #Rafah.

Interesting. I must have missed that history class that the victims of the Holocaust invaded Germany, and murdered, tortured and raped German civilians.

#Palestinians are an invention of Pan-Arab nationalists and the USSR in the 1960s. There is no historic connection to the land, since they have no history as "Palestinians". Any collective history prior to that is simply wrt. their being Arab, and Arabs are not indigenous.
