"The war is not meant to be won, it is meant to be continuous... its object is not victory, but to keep the very structure of society intact." - George Orwell

More than 63,450 killed since start of Israel's war on Gaza - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/more-63450-killed-start-israel-genocide-gaza
And what LLMs are doing to these resources...
The mandatory Hopscotch visit.
It's a very narrow definition of saving.
In the studio where I'm staying, many Western visitors complain that they can't use the kitchen properly, since the only sink is in the bathroom. What kind of life have you lived? What has been the most challenging thing you've had to overcome?
My phone suggested "tomato sizing" when I was writing "romanticizing". Now the world needs a poem about 🍅 sizing.
"I steer towards anger and practice anger as if it were Italian" Ellery Akers
a friend finalized her dual citizenship to an EU country today and this is what it feels like to be a dog at the shelter watching another dog get adopted
Still the summary of my life: "All I ever really want to know is how other people are making it through life—where do they put their body, hour by hour, and how do they cope inside of it." Miranda July
"The migrants are all court poets now. At night they labor to translate their traumas into EU legalese"
"I believe all joy comes from a sorrow passed down like a chainless pocket watch." www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazi...
I want to hug all the women inspired by Bezos’s bride to wait for their billionaire in their fifties. And all the AI "thought leaders" and entrepreneurs who could have been invited but were too busy building yet another bullshit innovative product for the amount of disillusionment that awaits them.

About job search when you want to do something good (like human rights etc). I failed an interview for a volunteering position having 15 years of experience in software development, ML, NLP, etc. I don't know any more.
My life can be summarized by a saying from my Russian grandparents: "So what, is it time to just give up and die?" (A lot is lost in translation)
Trying to transcribe an audio from a Marine dataset looking for distress calls. Getting "Payday relay. Payday relay." That's exactly what I need, thank you, dear model (for nothing).
The outcome of my chatGPT drawing test conveniently summarizes my feelings about the AI field these days...
The situation only becomes complicated when you believe some groups of people are less worthy of sovereignty or human rights.
Political pastry in Leipzig
Open to advice on switching to cybersecurity 😅
It's hard to believe that machine learning and deep learning were so exciting and many people wanted to learn and understand it (hey, the chain rule). Now everyone is an expert just because they can write a prompt (not even a good one). Hard to fight the loss of meaning in the field.
Elon Musk’s fascist turn isn’t puzzling at all. It’s all about labour 🧵
