@Shiyanying @JoyfulSisyphean @nxthompson @jasminewsun No it doesn’t. Haha. Stop ascribing verbs to the LLM. It does not edit. Does not copy edit. Does not give feedback. It just predicts tokens with a terribly aggressive and wasteful algorithm. Most of these LLM shills/grifters have no comprehension of how LLMs function.

Please share or help if you are in a position to assist. We received an eviction notice that I knew was coming but the rent is over $400 a month more than my income. That doesn't include groceries and bills. Any help is appreciated. These moments are painfully hard. Thank you to my loved ones who will love me even homeless. 💕🪶

It’s just so laughable that members of the HoC will denounce political violence as anti-democratic when Canada functions as a nation-state on perpetual political violence at home and abroad.

[Jon @ReadingNReding]

@WillWJGreaves The applause in the HoC just shows how in control the extremist right has become of the discourse and narrative, which, yes, inches us even closer toward facism.

[Jon @ReadingNReding]

@WillWJGreaves Whether you intend it, I think this is intellectually dishonest—one can’t denounce political violence in the same moment it is applauded. Anyways, the other side of the aisle is not denouncing it. They are supporting a martyr narrative to justify political violence to come.

[Jon @ReadingNReding]

@atRachelGilmore Yeah. Watching this narrative and discourse unfold from everyone, and all I can say is we don’t know if this was “political violence” in the way it is being framed. But now he is a martyr.

@Joyhenderson78 My thoughts exactly 🤔

[Jairo I. Fúnez-Flores @Jairo_I_Funez]

“As anthropologists, we are witnessing a doubling down on the discipline’s classical roots where a Palestinian woman can only occupy the savage slot–she can only speak as an object of research, through the colonizer’s narrative of her” https://t.co/gTWKtrqRB4

[UofT Occupy for Palestine @occupyuoft]

Outrage about Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction must not centre the fact that he had PR—the ICE agents didn’t even know he had a Green Card. Organizers should recognize it as an escalation by the state, but his disappearing would be no less abhorrent if he was undocumented.
