The stronger AI become the easier it should be to develop and move to alternative foundations.

You continue to fail to substantiate the claim Israeli companies are dangerous to their costumers which is what I dispute and talked about irrelevant stuff with whiff of conspiracy of Shin Bet's implicit cooperation.

That's not a state of war. So you have nothing to support the delusional claim that Israel is at war with the rest of the world as expected.

Yes, it is clear talking point (which I have seen and refuted before) to convince people not to buy from Israeli companies but as I already explained that doesn't apply and in the scenario with NSO - you aren't their costumer anyway.

> I wouldn't put it past the Mossad to blow up my phone, if they had the option. Yitzhak Rabin was killed for less.

Unless you are a member of Hezballah I doubt it. Yitzhak Rabin wasn't killed by Mossad and you have delusion of grandeur if you think your actions matter more than those of Yitzhak Rabin.

> The pager attack is a single stone in a mosaic of misanthropic Likud tactic

The pager attack was designed by Mossad, no reason to believe any particular relation to Likud.

> Sorry but I don’t believe that HPMOR holds a particular draw to normal Harry Potter fanfic readers.

Believe as you wish but I found about it through r/HPfanfiction.

> That’s about the level of endorsement I’d expect for that book. “Technically, even worse writing exists”

It is a fanfiction, you shouldn't expect a good published book level writing. Sturgeon's law apply very strongly to fanfiction.

"tel aviv impressed" - not a very good comment for HN, is it?

To the author credit I remember the 40k words climax sequence of confronting March was really good and I was on the edge of my seat the entire time.

No, Brockton's Celestial Forge for example, a true masterpiece in excessive verbosity and meandering writing which makes The Silmarillion look like a riveting and concise short novel.

> Anyone dedicated enough to get through it is a believer by the end.

Got through the end, not a believer in anything. Not only your statement is wrong (because most absolute statements are) even the weakened statement of most who finished are believers is likely wrong because likely most people who read it are just fanfics enthusiasts like me.

> The ridiculousness of it all serves as a type of hazing ritual.

I have read way worse btw.

How would you prove something is overly verbose?

Not really true, first German taxpayer euros don't go to Israel, second without Israel could pay for USA taxpayer dollars from their aid with some debt increase.
