Israeli soldiers tied explosives around the neck of an 80-year-old Palestinian man and used him as a human shield, forcing him search for explosives before killing him and his wife, an investigation has revealed.

Israeli news site HaMakom revealed the a senior officer in the Nahal Brigade threatened to blow up the man's head unless he searched the Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood of Gaza City for explosives in May.

After the search was over, the soldiers ordered the couple to evacuate on foot to Khan Younis in the south, but another group of soldiers shot them dead. The soldiers say that they failed to let the second battalion know about the couple, and they were consequently shot

It's not like knowing about clandestine methods of sharing info are going to matter any time soon, right? And definitely do not spend any time studying related material.

Google Gemini: Fascist AI for the plebs (lemmy.world)

Google Gemini seems to have been programmed to provide cookie cutter responses when asked questions about whether Trump tried to overturn the election.

When you point it out to Gemini, it says it isn't programmed to avoid any topics or viewpoints.

Even saying you'll accept a variety of sources & viewpoints on the topic to reach your own conclusion, results in it saying it can't answer.

When asking if it has been trained on research papers, case law, indexed news stories & even Wikipedia results, it says that it has.

Was trying to find the latest on Tesla FSD given the BYD news, I only noticed because it showed the link for a second before loading in. Doubtful the site is in any way reputable. Sloppy publishing I guess?
