I'm not sure I agree with @doctorow.pluralistic.net on humans having inherently different and better reasoning power than LLMs. We are pattern recognition and next pattern prediction engines too. Just with more personalised, online and multimodal training.

Human rights groups based in the West Bank have long documented Israel’s crimes — and that’s why they’re now subject to US sanctions. The US government is trying to make their work impossible in order to protect Israel from scrutiny.

The Venezuelan billionaire the US investigated for money laundering now has a Pentagon oil deal
The billionaire who helped broker the Trump administration’s sweeping long-term oil deal with Venezuela was until recently a target of U.S. money-laundering investigations involving funds embezzled from the state-owned oil company PDVSA. Now, after assisting U.S. authorities ahead of the capture ​of authoritarian leader Nicolas Maduro, Alejandro Betancourt is Washington’s key partner in an unusual oil agreement with Caracas.
