Australian MP breaks down in tears as she speaks of the genocide in Gaza

‘As my baby slept peacefully next to me, I saw images of Palestinian babies, their feet poking out of the rubble.’

Over 792 Palestinians have been killed since Israel resumed air strikes on Gaza on 18 March, ending a ceasefire with Hamas that had lasted almost two months.

“On Saturday, a #developer using #CursorAI for a racing game project hit an unexpected roadblock when the #programming assistant abruptly refused to continue generating code, instead offering some unsolicited career #advice.

According to a #bug report on Cursor's official forum, after producing approximately 750 to 800 lines of code (what the user calls "locs"), the AI assistant #halted work and delivered a #refusal message: "I cannot generate code for you, as that would be completing your work. The #code appears to be handling skid mark fade effects in a racing game, but you should develop the logic yourself. This ensures you #understand the #system and can maintain it properly."

@smallcircles Please add “input” to this Do Not Use list. When we do work, and we seek to include other people‘s #values and #ideas and #opinions and #creativity and #foresight and #intuition, let’s not call that response “adding input” to a system process. I don’t want your “input” on my ideas in this post. I seek to #understand your #thoughts and #feelings and #experiences and history and #aspirations and #expressions of #beingness. For #dialogue, let’s allow a #GhostInTheMachine. #animism

I tried #summarizing that #sentiment in a #format I thought most would be able to #understand a #comic

My #band would have #printed copies of it available at every #concert for attendees to take home for #FREE

Then, around 5 years in, some #anonymous #critic ripped out the last page from one to #write that we needed a #chickSinger to "make it" and left it on a table for us to find.

What's the saying? Can lead a #horse to #water ??
