Forcing people to die of famine, malnutrition, disease and neglect is not directly killing them
Sebastian S. Cocioba @ATinyGreenCell Over 800 million people are food insecure today. We have done a great good since the year 2000, but the ones who need it most are still suffering from famine globally. I wish our iteration and progress on food security would be in lock step with progress in AI. We all need to eat https://pic.x.com/vvajoonbauhttps://pic.x.com/vvajoonbau

I set up FEWs.net and most “famines” are not from natural causes, but armed conflicts, bad government policies, bad commercial and economic policies, bad educational polices. And, usually because one group wants what others have. Forcing people to die of famine, malnutrition, disease and neglect is not directly killing them, but often used. Look at “conflict” and “takings” and not just the final cause of death or disease.
Famine is not difficult to monitor and intervene, but when the groups causing the displacements are not held accountable, no amount of food aid or relief supplies gives the people a life with dignity and purpose. Whenever I review the UN.org and related sites, I always say to myself – what a shame, what shameful behavior and neglect. I keep hoping the AI companies will help, but they are still selling smoke and mirrors, chasing bonuses and benefits and riches for a few.
