Palantir co-founder Alex Karp has called Palantir’s systems “crucial” to Israeli military operations. ”We covered the Lavender AI technology here: Lavender: the First AI Genocide Device – Bella Caledonia. I wrote about Lavender last year:Lavender was developed by the Israel Defense Forces’ elite intelligence division, Unit 8200. It saved a lot of time.”Just as Palestinians are dehumanised by the rhetoric around the conflict, the technology furthers this dehumanisation. People become ‘targets’ and the technology is seen as simply a mechanism for efficiency and time-saving in the process of killing.

France’s embattled prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, resigned on Monday less than 24 hours after forming a cabinet, catching the nation by surprise and making his government the shortest-lived in modern French history. Other forces, like the Socialist Party, argued that it was time for a left-wing prime minister to govern. Mr. Macron made no public comments on Monday, and it remained unclear what option he might pick. Mr. Lecornu, a close ally of Mr. Macron, was appointed less than a month ago. He is the third prime minister to leave office in under a year, a level of turmoil that until recently was rare in France.

He claims that the story of the ten lepers (or the grateful Samaritan — labels vary) is “admittedly secondary and [Greek] in origin”. I recall my tears as I expressed how I wanted to be like the Samaritan leper. I was still wondering, after reading Bultmann, why a Samaritan would be sent to a Jewish priest. Bultmann’s point about the Samaritan leper and Jewish priests may finally have helped me towards an answer.

A manufacturing sector lobby group has called for Rachel Reeves to boost green energy investments by granting them exemption from a real estate tax. At present, manufacturers that invest in greener technologies see the value of their factories increase, which in turn increases their business rates bills - a system Make UK has branded "perverse", The Times reports. “However, it’s perverse that by making such investments their business rates increase. This is not just actively dissuading them but penalising them for ‘doing the right thing’.”Make UK has called on the chancellor to protect manufacturers investing in green assets from business rates for three years, as well as to extend tax reliefs for capital stock linked to industrial automation and decarbonisation. A Treasury spokesman told The Times: “The chancellor makes tax policy decisions at fiscal events.

Air India (For representational purposes only)AI 117 incidentNEW DELHI: The Federation of Indian Pilots (FIP), a pilots’ body, on Sunday called for a thorough inspection of the electrical systems of all Boeing 787 planes operating in India “in the interest of air safety. ”The FIP’s appeal to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) comes a day after an Air India Boeing 787 flight from Amritsar to Birmingham deployed emergency turbine power while preparing to land in the UK city.

This event has been transmuted into “The Gold,” an involving British drama premiering here Sunday on PBS. Critiques of British class structure and bad actors within the police department are raised high enough to be impossible to miss. The detectives have a computer, but only Brightwell has an idea of what it’s for or how to use it. A tracking device, apparently the only one in all of British law enforcement, has to be imported from Belfast (and sneakily at that). And the remodeling of East London into a gentrified glass forest, a minor plot point, has only just begun.
