isn't your post title also?

Yeah true, but I’m really proud of the work my team does and very invested in it, so will always come to it’s defence when people say AI in general is bad, even if they probably mean genAI

It's not just companies pushing "AI" hype that are dishonest, the term itself is: artificial neural networks today simply do not meet reasonable definitions of intelligent and they won't anytime soon.

Cheers to you for doing useful work, but why not call it something more accurate like computer vision or medical image computing?

spoileri guess maybe because calling things "AI" gets them funded? 😭

I think you misunderstood me

Go ahead and post the same link for Google job listings. I’ll wait.

My comment was in response to your comments (bolded below) in this thread:

I was already thinking of getting a Linux phone next, this is helping to seal the deal. Fuck Apple the genocide enablers.

please do explain how Apple is doing anything here. If Israel wants to provide their military with iPhones they’re going to no matter what Apple does.

They don’t have to do business with/in Israel.

That still will not stop a nation state (especially Israel) from getting their hands on Apple devices.

My point was not to say that Google is better than Apple here - in fact, unlike Apple (as far as I know), Google has actually built AI tools specifically tailored for Israel's genocidal business requirements.

My point is that if Apple wanted to boycott a country (which in the case of Israel they obviously don't, which job listings at their R&D centers are just one of many points of evidence of) it would actually make it difficult-to-impossible for any substantial part of the boycotted country's government to rely on using iPhones.

(Unlike Android derivatives which can easily be used without direct reliance on Google's services...)

As an aside, while I would not use iOS (due to it being proprietary), it is hard to dispute that (for most adversaries, at least) compromising it is generally much more expensive/difficult/unlikely than Android. So, given that Apple is very friendly to them, the IDF's policy decision to use iPhones makes sense.

Physically obtaining the devices is insufficient; they need ongoing software updates and other network services too.

The IDF could/would absolutely not be doing this if they did not trust that Apple is a very committed partner.

You can also observe from Apple's job listings that they are.

Majority of people need cars.

The majority of people do not have a car:

The country with the most cars in China, where there are four times as many people as there are cars.

Japan and the United States are the only countries with populations over 100 million where there are more than 500 cars per 1000 people.

A rich country is not one where the poor manage to have a car, but one where the rich take public transportation. - Gustavo Petro
