One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology.

Two years of genocide have left us ravaged, but our hope for Gaza will never be stifled, writes Shaimaa Eid. Israel’s war of extermination has spared nothing & no one, but still we cling to the hope that we will rebuild Gaza stone by stone & plant new life among its ruins.

Even after two years of genocide, hope for Gaza cannot be stifled
