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.
Call: (202) 225-4741

A group of New Jersey lawmakers are condemning the treatment of visitors to Delaney Hall, after reports found that visitors have been made to wait outside, sometimes in temperatures nearing 100 degrees, for seven to 12 hours, and are then still not allowed to visit their loved ones.

The violence of apartheid across the West Bank isn't just physical. Israel relies on constant psychological warfare to terrorize rural Palestinian communities and make them live with the perpetual dread of army raids and settler pogroms.
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.

No amount of convincing and irrefutable evidence of the genocide will convince Western leaders to halt support for Israel, because it isn't in their interests. The only thing that will stop the genocide is to make it more costly than profitable.

I’m speaking this weekend at Beth-El Mennonite Church in Colorado Springs. All around the building, there are murals and art made from chopped up guns. Welcome signs. And then this one on the front door: “Come back with a warrant.” Making it clear to ICE… in embroidery. Mennonites are great.

Jimmy Kimmel is a symptom of a huge problem: a concentrated media ecosystem beholden to corporate whims.

Canadian media struggles with this too.

Consider Global News' management making Ben Mulroney a top political host.

It's a worryingly partisan decision, especially given what I just uncovered:

New | NBC News reports that ICE officers who shot and killed Silverio Villegas González in Franklin Park, Chicago, were not wearing body cameras. ICE policy requires cameras where issued, but rollout remains incomplete despite billions in new funding.

“When we are all so overwhelmed by the brutality of the world, it’s a tempting fantasy that if we say the right things, or adopt the right ideas, then we are no longer complicit." – JVP Director of Grassroots Organizing, Jemma Pasch, speaking at the People’s Conference for Palestine.
