Stop offloading cognitive tasks to "generative AI." Stop using systems w/ "AI" features either inextricably woven through them or prominently displayed at the top to nudge you into their use. Stop *Designing* "AI" tools & integrations that way. Stop building or using "AI" like this. Fucking Stop it.

El genocidio en Gaza es un hecho único en la Historia. Es el primer genocidio que se retransmite en directo a la vista de todo el mundo. Nunca antes pudimos ver la aniquilación de un pueblo mientras sucedía. Los genocidas siempre se ocupaban de ocultarlo.
