One of those days I’m worried I typed the wrong thing- Mohammed has 11 family members to take cate of and they need a warm place for the winter
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Mohamed. Mohamed was studying to be a software engineer before this. He’s now trying to take care of his whole family including his siblings Farah, 23, Fatena, 22, Aseel, 19, Hala, 18, Lama, 15, Leen, 13 and Karem, 7 and his niece Ghazal, 3.

This is actually the thing that worries me most about AI. It's "there is no such thing as society" implemented as software solution. Needing to ask people for help, advice, or information is part of how we build and maintain social and professional bonds.
Preliminary results show that the current framework of "AI" makes ppl less likely to help or seek help from other humans, or to seek to soothe conflict, and that people actively prefer that framework to any others, literally serving to make them more dependent on it.

This is a piece of dream work with ancient dreaming:
many more of us dream of beloved and just communities, dream of better lives for all children and all future beings. Of an earth healed and regarded as alive and sacred. And to move toward these dreams perhaps we need visions of being surrounded by holy generativity, creative fires, Divine love

Canada continues to aid the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
In the middle of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, Canada 1) contracted to buy missiles from an Israeli company and 2) planned to send Canadian troops to Israel for training on how to use them.
Absolutely unconscionable and an egregious violation of international law.
