Haven’t been on here in a while. If anyone reads this would be grateful for your duas. Things haven’t been good for a while and I can feel the darkness swallowing me whole. Just trying to stay afloat these last 10 nights InshaaAllah.
Was having a rant to ChatGPT and it generated this. Of course it’s just LLM-ing from vast human training data, but when I found myself saying ‘Aameen’ it got me intrigued.
I wonder, what is the status of a supplication made by AI? Is it regarded as a du’a Allah answers? Or is it simply regarded as a text of a du’a, or a form of reassurance? Is a du’a a du’a based on the source, or is it a du’a based on its existence/proclamation in the world?
It is not about ‘punishment’, judgement or gratuitous ostracisation. Let the investigation take its course and act accordingly - but it really should not be controversial to insist that safeguarding should be immediate and should not have to wait for that process.
This is literally abt safeguarding. It’s not abt lynch mobs or playing judge, it is protecting &honouring our communities,esp the vulnerable among them. It’s abt sending a clear message that ppl who come forth w their experiences will be taken seriously& that we have their backs
Yes let a thorough, impartial investigation take its course but also, if we have even a small amount of potentially credible evidence that someone was involved in such egregious behaviour, get them the hell out of our institutions now! This should be clear, clinical, unequivocal.
If someone is accused of something as egregious and horrific as this - we should *first* eliminate them from any proximity to the vulnerable in our communities and *then* ask questions. That’s literally what safeguarding is.
There seems to be a fundamental wrongheadedness from those proponents of the innocent until proven guilty position in the Wisam Sharieff case (and this happens every time we hear of these horrific incidents)
The biggest problem is not Western journalists being unable to enter, but the fact that Western media doesn't respect and value Palestinian journalists. My colleagues and I risk our lives every day to report on this genocide . No one knows Gaza like we do, and no one understands the complexity of the situation like we do. If you care about what's happening in Gaza, you should amplify Palestinian voices. We don't need Western journalists to tell our stories; we are capable of telling and reporting on our own stories.
@KaiHeron Pine trees were planted by Zionists over olive groves and Palestinian villages. But the soil remembered and the pines were plagued by disease and rot, some of them split in two and in their halves olive trees grew up. (Pappe’s The Ethnic Cleansing of #Palestine)
