ICE uses the same playbook as Israel.

LLMs hallucinate because they are trained to produce a response and there's not really a penalty for the response being wrong. It's suited to the goals of the CEOs running the companies building them. They're the kind of guys who want to hear reasonable-sounding things. Not "I'm not sure."

💔 This is Omar Hayek. He was a kind man, the sole provider for his family, & one who brought the highest level of professionalism to his work as an occupational therapist for @msf.ca.

This morning, Omar became our 14th colleague killed in an #Israeli attack.

Congressman Kweisi Mfume claimed his constituents aren’t asking him to stop the bombs to Israel. Let’s make it impossible for him to say that again.

Children in Gaza are starving while Congress funds more bombs. Flood Mfume’s office with calls and demand he Stops Sending Bombs.

I was brutalized by Israeli soldiers in the West Bank. It was only a fraction of what Palestinians experience every day.

China’s “biased impartiality,” which privileges the Israeli regime, drives its strategic distancing from the genocide in Gaza. This position is not simply the result of US dominance over Israel-related affairs but a calculated decision to protect China’s long-term interests.
