So #Multichoice lost 9% of its subscriber base over the last 12 months. They're blaming a "challenging consumer environment". I say it's because they're dinosaurs who have no idea what the TV watching public actually want in 2024. :P

Will Netflix's sport option even be *available* in #SouthAfrica, or will Multichoice block it here before it starts?

Samsung just released an ad with the tagline, "Creativity cannot be crushed", a direct shot at #Apple's controversial "crushing" ad: https://techcentral.co.za/creativity-crushed-samsung-ad-mocks-apple/244717/?utm_source=Mastodon
Nice one, #Samsung! It's a pity you had to share the video on X (and didn't also share it on the Fediverse), but hey, baby steps. 😉

“Levy describes a system that has almost reached perfection. The political echelon wants to maintain the status quo, and the military provides it with legitimacy in exchange for funds and status.”
“Levy points out the gradual withdrawal of the old Ashkenazi middle class from the ranks of the combat forces[…]:
• the military’s complete reliance on technology as a decisive factor in warfare;
• the adoption of the concept […] of an army that is “small and lethal”;
• the obsession with the idea of #deterrence, which is supposed to negate the other side’s will to fight; and
• the complete addiction to the status quo as the only possible and desirable state of affairs.”https://www.972mag.com/yagil-levy-army-middle-class/ @israel @ethics @military @idf

CW: Killing Rules
The deaths of the 3 Israeli hostages are the result of the #Israel #army giving its soldiers license to kill civilians without repercussions.

If you were born on or after 1970, it's interesting to see what major #tech events happened in the year you were born: https://techcentral.co.za/what-happened-in-tech-year-you-were-born/237474/?utm_source=Mastodon
My year is 1980. It's a pity that they don't mention #BBSes or #FidoNet, because both of those were, IMO, pretty important precursors to the modern #Internet and social networks (I ran a #BBS in the early 1990s, and it was connected to a FidoNet network).

‘Mass assassination factory’
“We prepare the targets automatically and work according to a checklist,” a source who previously worked in the Target Division told +972/Local Call. “It really is like a factory. We work quickly and there is no time to delve deep into the target. The view is that we are judged according to how many targets we manage to generate.”
A separate source told the publication that the Habsora AI had allowed the IDF to run a “mass assassination factory” in which the “emphasis is on quantity and not on quality”. A human eye, they said, “will go over the targets before each attack, but it need not spend a lot of time on them”.

In 2019, the Israeli army created a special unit to create targets with the help of generative AI. Its objective: volume, volume, volume.
