The International Criminal Court warrant has no power here since the U.S. is not a signatory, and Netanyahu has diplomatic immunity.

  The AI firms keep ranting that if they're made responsible for what their AI says they will have to cut back or even stop making available many of their generative AI services. WORKS FOR ME!
