Some days feels like the Morality of Israeli's has been infected with the Morality of Hamas.
Killing civilians is wrong. Even if your opponent believes otherwise, don't let their poor moral choices direct yours.

Pondering @davephilipps.bsky.social awesome article, and the simple goals of Warfare.
1. Prohibit enemy troop freedom of movement.
2. Enable freedom of movement for your troops.
Interesting to learn the M1E3 has "radar-guided automatic interceptors".
If works, would allow freedom of movement.

Learning about the concept of attitudinal vs expressive consent from Jesse Wall at @publicethicsblog.bsky.social
Better example, throwing a ball to someone.
Holding a ball in the throwing position, and waiting for 'other' to put their hands up for a catch, is attitudinal consent.

They’ve convinced people AI chatbots aren’t only speaking but thinking, which is plausible if you don’t know how they work. They perform some cognitive tasks, but any logic in their “thinking” is only a residue hidden in our language—its grammar, concepts, etc. in the training data they gobbled up.
