The choices were:
- Vote for Trump (Netanyahu's preference)
- Vote for Harris (still bad)
- Don't vote (or vote third party, which has an identical effect) (leaves the choice between Trump and Harris to the rest of the voters)

It's peak Boomer. Anti-woke and wife bad.
Israel is an even stranger member of the post than Taiwan IMO.
"'cigarette' is short for 'meatball'" is certainly a sentence.
Communism threatens capital. Fascism mostly does not.
All for a stance that amounts to "we should waggle our fingers disapprovingly at Israel while selling them unlimited weapons to do a genocide."
Honestly, that's a smart thing for AI companies to do. AI is surprisingly decent at extrapolating from existing codebases, but it's useless at starting from scratch. If one model says "I can't do that, Dave" and another spits out garbage, you're getting the same amount of useful code out of both and a much better signal-to-noise ratio from the first.
But I knew, before the election and beyond a reasonable doubt, that that would not happen. That leaves me with the three choices mentioned above: keeping genocide the same, increasing genocide, or abdicating responsibility for choosing between the two.
And to be clear, I'm not very high on the genocide list. I will likely escape to a less horrible country before my number is drawn. It's my LGBT+, Chicano, and indigenous comrades I'm most worried about, followed by a long list of other traditionally marginalized groups.
