My latest for the @LRB dives into the roots of Israel's AI-assisted targeting in Gaza It's a story about a military obsessed with building its killing capacities to scale, to the detriment of regional security

Israel’s military has long provided tech firms the raw material needed to build their experiments in AI to scale: kill-chain data. Yet the past 15 months offered Silicon Valley unparelleled opportunity to refine its products my latest for @LRB blog

I offered a few words on the urgently needed ceasefire for Harvard's @BelferCenter The deal is an indictment on the Biden Admin for not pushing the same terms months earlier. Many in Israel's gov are doing all they can to ensure it doesn't hold
