• ... that the Israel Defense Force uses an AI called the Gospel to suggest targets in its bombing of the Gaza Strip? Source: NPR "Other AI systems aggregate vast quantities of intelligence data and classify it. The final system is the Gospel, which makes a targeting recommendation to a human analyst. Those targets could be anything from individual fighters, to equipment like rocket launchers, or facilities such as Hamas command posts."

  • Comment: This article is somewhat over a week old. Apologies. WP:DYK says extensions are allowed so I'd like to ask for one. A company I'd recently purchased from was busted for skirting sanctions and making millions by equipping Russia during the invasion of Ukraine. Dealing with that kept me preoccupied for a while.

• Comment. The subject of this article was originally covered as a one-paragraph, 104-word section of another article. I slowly expanded it until it was ready to be a standalone article and at risk of overtaking the rest of the parent article in length, then split it. I'm not familiar with the customs of DYK, so if this doesn't qualify either as new (it's new if we count from the moment of the split) or as fivefold expansion (the article's prose size is well over five times what it was if we don't count from the moment of the split) I'll be baffled, but them's the breaks. --Kizor 10:53, 15 April 2024 (UTC)

Not on your life. Yes, WP:DYKNEW can be extended by a day or two upon request, but looking at the history of that article, I see a very slow expansion between 7 March and 4 April, when it was split, followed by another eleven days between 4 April and nominating - which means that parts of this expansion are 7 days old plus another two days plus a month. I'm sorry, but no way. (On a more positive note, there's a very good April Fool's hook in this, something like "that the Israel Defense Force uses the Gospel to suggest which bits of the Gaza Strip to bomb", so please take this to GA.)--Launchballer 14:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Ah, so it's not created within seven days or expanded fivefold, it's created or expanded fivefold within seven days. Danke. Withdrawn. --Kizor 10:24, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
