This is the terrifying moment a pro-Palestine activists empties a box full of mice into a McDonald's before walking off and shouting 'f*** Israel', as horrified diners fled the infested restaurant. Shocking footage shared on social media showed the man throwing the rodents over the floor of the fast food restaurant that was packed with customers.

and islamophobia is the worry on Starmers mind.
If the Daily Mail tells you that mice are terrifying, do you feel some kind of obligation to be terrified?
I don't get it. Why not decide for yourself what is "terrifying"? A box of mice really shouldn't make the list, IMO.
Anyway, that doesn't sound much like a pro- anything activist, but more a fairly harmless nutter who has some kind of grudge against Maccas.
I refuse to accept the Daily Mail's verdict that anything in the event was either "terrifying" or "shocking"; nor do I believe that many diners were "horrified". The use of emotional hyperbole to manipulate you here is utterly transparent. Why do you submit to it? Why are you delegating your emotions to the fucking Daily Mail? And what on Earth makes you imagine that anyone here will accept your invitation to do likewise?
I recently posted a discussion about the observed cause of LLM hallucinations. Specifically, there is a part of the AI that participates in generating creative outputs, and another, completely different part that participates instead in knowledge-based statements.
The thing is, while the LLM has all the indication in the world that a statement was received by some neurons, nothing actually labels the statement in the lying LLM as to the fact it came from "creative" or "knowledge". The result is that it's unaware that it is lying, despite the reality that it could be trained or even just manually reconfigured to know.
I bring this up because I think this is a very deep and important observation in psychology in general, that there are likely parallels between this deficiency in a machine and the common deficiencies we see in
human machines. Namely, I think some.humans wholesale lack a linkage that notifies downstream of whether the emotion is happening because of an empathy/suggestion pathway vs when the emotion is happening due to less direct mechanisms.
As such, I don't think the modern conservative can really necessarily tell the difference between emotions cued through propaganda and emotions cued through more visceral and complicated relationships with the subject matter. I also don't know that they can properly differentiate truth and lies, either, for the same reason the LLM cannot.
I think instead that the heuristics that they use to determine truth and lies are built around something wholely insane, namely the part that decides whether they want what they are reading to be truth, or a lie.
It's an easy thing to mess up, and it creates a shortsighted and evil -- but very effective in the short term -- mechanism for dishonestly getting what they want.
