  1. “Man gets stock options from job” doesnt have the same ring to it i guess

  2. Yeah nothing to see here. Fella gets stick options from a job, can’t cash them out. Fella worked for an AI company and is probably the only one who remotely understands it on the AI committee.

  3. Do the Ditch put out articles like this, praying that nobody reads past the headline?

  4. literally every israeli is an IDF vet.

    the ditch should rename bottomofthebarrell

  5. Non story of the year.

    Imagine the excitement in the Ditch head office when they realize that the Minister of Agriculture has a farm!

    God forbid we put people with tangentially related experiences onto committees.

  6. Since when is someone who was a software developer for 3 years in the early 90’s an IDF veteran. The ditch make them out to be John Rambo.
    For to hand to to the The Ditch for their serial sensationalism.

  7. Whereas “Ditch co-founder is employed as a paid by Putin propagandist in Moscow while Ditch continues to have undeclared funding sources”

  9. 1. Sees story – salacious headline
    2. Clicks on story – sees “The Ditch”
    3. Deletes story – online equivalent of used toilet paper.
    4. Dear Ditch Russian sympathisers , stop wasting our time you cretins….

  10. “IDF veteran” is some A+ bait. It’s like when the American media try to jumpscare with “Arabic Muslim” or “far left communist.”

    Literally anyone from Israel who isn’t a draft-dodger or a child is a veteran. The first rule of tautology club is the first rule of tautology club.

  11. Feel like I licked a 9v battery, shocked but not surprised in the least.

  12. FFG out in full force in the comments today it seems

  13. The Ditch ran out of steam a long time ago. It’s quite funny that Cosgrave still funds at least some of it. Chay Bowes seeded it with Russian dark money.

    It’s an incredibly bad faith rag of a thing

  14. yeah bigger issue is the idf link. Who else has investments and stock options in Israeli companies in ff/fg

  15. This is ridiculous, a non-story. Most people in the country don’t understand AI and how it will be used in the future. We need people who know about AI involved in decision-making, this sort of foolish thinking has us relying on other countries’ companies as the main driver of growth in our economy.

    Our media should be pressing our government into action on how they are using / leveraging AI to make our lives better, not whatever nonsense this is.

    As for the IDF angle, we are a few months away from a headline of ‘Irish lad shifts Jewish girl on J1 in New York’. A complete non-discussion point and frankly unhinged.

    Hopefully there are medals for self-righteousness at the next Olympics, as we are looking in good shape.
