Le 1er février dernier à Marseille, un militant LGBTQIA+ a perdu un œil après un coup de poing d'un homme qui venait de proférer des insultes homophobes et de bousculer un élu. Surprise : l'agresseur s'avère être un policier en civil.

Viruses are bad for kids' health. Public health is a collective effort. Liberals no longer believe either.

L'attaque menée par le Hamas dans le sud d'Israël le 7 octobre 2023, au cours de laquelle des milliers de personnes ont été tuées, est constamment présentée comme le début d'une violence « sans précédent », tout en effaçant doublement, physiquement et épistémiquement, les plus de 5 000 Palestinien·nes tué·es, jusqu'en 2022, dans les bombardements de Gaza. Le 7 octobre devient ainsi le point de départ d'une épistémologie israélienne d'un temps supposé universel, tout en marquant une escalade dans la criminalisation de la contextualisation et du refus de l'historicisation.

In 2021, a book titled “The Human-Machine Team: How to Create Synergy Between Human and Artificial Intelligence That Will Revolutionize Our World” was released in English under the pen name “Brigadier General Y.S.” In it, the author — a man who we confirmed to be the current commander of the elite Israeli intelligence unit 8200 — makes the case for designing a special machine that could rapidly process massive amounts of data to generate thousands of potential “targets” for military strikes in the heat of a war. Such technology, he writes, would resolve what he described as a “human bottleneck for both locating the new targets and decision-making to approve the targets.”
Such a machine, it turns out, actually exists. A new investigation by +972 Magazine and Local Call reveals that the Israeli army has developed an artificial intelligence-based program known as “Lavender,” unveiled here for the first time. According to six Israeli intelligence officers, who have all served in the army during the current war on the Gaza Strip and had first-hand involvement with the use of AI to generate targets for assassination, Lavender has played a central role in the unprecedented bombing of Palestinians, especially during the early stages of the war. In fact, according to the sources, its influence on the military's operations was such that they essentially treated the outputs of the AI machine “as if it were a human decision.”
