Dear AI bros, it's not AI itself we have a problem with, the kind that can detect cancers early or help people walk. May that continue. It's the content generation slop you foam at the mouth defending that we hate. It's theft and will never, EVER replace actual human creativity.

neutral or good use of LLMs do exist, but the vast majority of usage is basically on par with putting radium in every food item because "if it glows it shows and then you can save on lighting your home."


Doctors Without Borders warned that new Israeli measures threaten humanitarian work in Gaza and the West Bank, potentially leaving hundreds of thousands without healthcare by 2026 due to strict registration and permit requirements.

Organizations must provide full details about staff and families, which could lead to political rejections. Haaretz reported that the Ministry of Diaspora can reject requests based on criteria such as denying Israel’s legitimacy or supporting its boycott.

So far, 14 out of 100 requests from major organizations like Oxfam, Save the Children, and the Norwegian Refugee Council have been rejected. Doctors Without Borders stressed that losing independent humanitarian aid would worsen Gaza’s health crisis.

this is beautiful! When was this taken? Last year I believe there was a planetary “procession” … but I haven’t paid attention to it this year.
(Also suggestion to enhance the alt text: morning sunrise photo of the planets etc. with a waning crescent silvery moon 🌙 and pink clouds against a city horizon with a body of water reflecting the scene in the foreground. Early winter is my guess by the surrounding landscape.)
