The techno-dystopia I actually fear is a future where most people think truth is whatever Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or Grok say, and the very small number of people who control those systems use that to manipulate for their own ends, making our current epistemic crisis seem small in comparison.

According to United Nations data, about 82 percent of the structures in Gaza are damaged, with two -thirds of them destroyed. With international journalists still widely unable to enter Gaza freely, satellite imagery remains one of the only ways to assess the true scale of destruction.

The centre of Bani Suheila, a town to the east of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza, also looks drastically different from how it appears in the latest Google imagery. Updated imagery from Planet shows that even more of the buildings have been reduced to rubble, with an IDF outpost now visible on top.

The most recent high-resolution imagery from Planet Labs, was taken in September 2026, seven months after the Airbus images now displayed on Google were published. The Planet images show that numerous other buildings in Rafah have since been demolished.

The images now visible on Google Maps and Earth were published in June 2026 but show a scene captured by the imagery provider Airbus in February. These images show a vast difference between the previous images published on Google which were from June 2024.
