The Guardian confirms @972mag investigation that the IDF uses AI to generate bombing targets in Gaza at an unprecedented rate, powering a “mass assassination factory” in which the “emphasis is on quantity and not on quality”.

It's probably the most dystopian revelation of the war so far. All these women and children killed are literally selected as targets by machine.
With @alhaq_org, we continue to monitor cases of reported attacks by Israel on medical facilities in Gaza. This task is made harder by Israeli disinformation; in the thread below, we demonstrate that Israeli media statements following the al-Ahli hospital blast were misleading.
CNN's @FareedZakaria on journalists who have embedded with the IDF in Gaza:
"As a condition to enter Gaza under IDF air support, outlets have to submit all materials and footage to the Israeli military for review prior to publication. CNN has agreed to these terms...."
This is literally one of the most heartbreaking message I ever received. A father who lost 2 of kids in a target I covered asked me for footage of transferring his kids to the hospital.
He says he is traveling and was not able to see his kids.
They were buried without him.

اسردوا قصص الناس، تحدثوا عن الحب الذي قتلته "إسرائيل" في غزة بدعم عالمي
White House National Security Council John Kirby says there are 'no red lines for Israel'. The intent was always -and now as clear as ever is - the genocide of Palestinians.
Gaza tonight.
When the skies are lit with terror. Never forget the “civilized nations” that claim to be “peacemakers” governed by “international law” that manufactured this genocide.
Shame.
US officials when Palestinian civilians are killed: “That’s what war is, it’s brutal, it’s ugly”
US officials when Ukrainian civilians are killed: *chokes up* “It’s difficult to look at some of the images and imagine that any well-thinking, serious, mature leader would do that”
This photo shows some of the destruction in #Gaza due to the ongoing israeli aggression.

These days, many people are interested in getting a PhD in ML. I think you should think really hard before committing to a PhD program in ML. Why?
I'm going to summarize some thoughts in this thread:

In the LLM-science discussion, I see a common misconception that science is a thing you do and that writing about it is separate and can be automated. I’ve written over 300 scientific papers and can assure you that science writing can’t be separated from science doing. Why? 1/18
