Well, Google have already been collaborating with a certain state that uses AI for weapons and surveillance against a repressed population with the goal of maintaining ethnic supremacy and domination.

If you go back far enough, you'll realize both groups are of the same ethnicity. It's just that they converted to Christianity and Islam and, as a result, a few hundred years later, we now call them Palestinians.

And they wash their hands after a deadly strike, saying the AI that made the decision.

It eerily reminds me of a research piece I read recently detailing how the Nazis turned to automation for their mass exterminations because most of them couldn't bear the mental toll that came with their direct action.

Unfortunately, I couldn't quickly find that series of articles back.

that implies that the majority of israelis are ethnically from israel... maybe we should look into why DNA tests are banned there
