La resolución de la ONU que entrega Gaza a Trump con el beneplácito de Europa
La resolución aprobada esta semana, impulsada por EEUU, normaliza la ocupación colonial, diseña un nuevo gueto palestino y entrega el mando de forma oficial a los dos Estados autores del genocidio

“…wherever there was a ‘deserving’ Party member and no other place could be found for him, he would be dumped into education.…Putting ignorant ‘reliables,’ from politics or business, over the educators was also part of the Nazi way of humiliating education and bringing it into popular contempt.”

"Los derechos humanos, la justicia y la salud mental caminan de la mano y la comunidad internacional tiene una responsabilidad esencial a la hora de reparar condenando a los actores del conflicto y avanzando hacia la liberación colectiva." Falta mucho por hacer.

The debate over “LLMs as annotators” feels familiar: excitement, backlash, and anxiety about bad science. My take in a new blogpost is that LLMs don’t break measurement; they expose how fragile it already was.

There’s plenty of evidence for political bias in LLMs, but very few evals reflect realistic LLM use cases — which is where bias actually matters.

IssueBench, our attempt to fix this, is accepted at TACL, and I will be at #EMNLP2025 next week to talk about it!

New results 🧵
Are LLMs biased when they write about political issues?

We just released IssueBench – the largest, most realistic benchmark of its kind – to answer this question more robustly than ever before.

Long 🧵with spicy results 👇

Since Trump’s ‘ceasefire’, Israel killed 900 Palestinians in Gaza. In the West Bank, 691 Palestinians were kidnapped during 1,503 invasions. If the victims had been Israelis, the Western media would have been (rightly) protesting these pogroms. Now? A guilty silence prevails...

#OtD 3 Nov 1918 a mutiny in Germany spread to Kiel, and ultimately ended WWI. Sailors refused to fight a suicidal offensive, and instead rebelled and raised red flags. Protests spread across the country and led to revolution. Learn more in this book: shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/all...

More and more people in #Gaza are forced to leave their homes.
Forced to take the road to nowhere.

There is no safe place for them to go.
There is no shelter.

Urgent action is needed for #CeasefireNow

Political will is needed now to end the war in #Gaza.

Over 700 days of bombardments, the people have nowhere safe to go.
Each day, a never-ending road of fear, destruction, and forced displacement.

UNRWA has repeatedly called for a ceasefire.

The war must be stopped.

Ante el genocidio en Palestina e ilegal anexión de los territorios ocupados, es una urgencia la ruptura de relaciones de todo tipo con Israel.

❌💣 El Consejo de Ministros debe aprobarlo, junto a la inmediata supresión de cualquier compra-venta de material militar/de seguridad.
