Our commitment to nonviolence is going to be tested.
The unnecessary use of force speaks to ICE serving the regime and not We The People.

Hannah Gale may not be well-known across Canada but she played an important role in Canadian history.
Elected to Calgary City Council, she was the first woman to be elected to any level of government (municipal, provincial, federal) in Canadian history.

What we’re seeing these days isn’t new, it’s just sometimes seems new because now it’s being encouraged and condoned again.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement.

Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Federal agents knock down elderly couple during Portland protest An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

this is the actual fucking point! The code that makes LLM's go is well understood by lots of people. It picks the next word and it's specifically designed to do so in a way that sounds the most human-like. Techbros said 'build a machine that fools me' and then forgot they said that

I don’t know why this even has to be said, but apparently it does:

WE KNOW EXACTLY HOW LLMs WORK.

"it might be conscious but unable to express it! You can't know."
O-kay... That sounds like you are trying to argue for existence of a soul. Why have you never argued this for animals or other objects that didn't have multibillion dollar marketing campaigns?

Part of same thing "it seems like in humans consciousness just appeared when sufficiently complex systems. So you can't rule it out for LLMs"

Yes we can. The way it makes mistakes is exactly indicative of nonconciousness.
Of a lack of any sense of comprehension of its inputs.
And of self awareness.

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious"

I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge.

We know exactly how LLMs work.

A great start to a great game.
This would be a fantastic year to be our year 🇨🇦😎⚾️

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

This was a 'targeted operation'. In the old days (before Jan), the authorities would identify the specific gang members and the apartments they lived in. Now all the residents are dragged onto the streets and expected to prove they're not in the gang. That's what happens when you're chasing a quota.

FDA quietly approved a generic abortion pill ahead of shutdown The FDA quietly approved a generic form of mifepristone, one of the two medications used in most U.S. abortions, on Tuesday.

In this era of hyper-partisanship, shockingly the FDA did…. a normal bureaucratic thing. Which is what it should do.

This is why the internet was invented.👍🤣

Wanna know the real difference between Canadians and Americans?

A typical Canadian wouldn't follow the orders or a clearly deranged, psychopathic, cult leader, racist, lunatic.

Let it be known that although it's legal to smoke marijuana in Canada, there are strict rules on its production. These assholes took advantage of the Mohawk nation and now they're going to pay. Big time. Bravo to the Canadian police! 🇨🇦❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻

No notes, this is a perfectly reasonable summary
