@podfeet Hmmm...I'll check it out. Thanks! Maybe this old dog can learn a new trick!
On balance, I'd say a good Old Fashioned beats the knot. 😉
“Solviture ambulando, it is solved by #walking, is the only fitting response to some queries, yet no LLM can provide answers of this type.”
“Interacting with #LLMs trains us to expect pre-formed answers from the void rather than endure the #productive effort of #conversation – literally, turning back and forth with another person in pursuit of #truth.”
“#Thinking and #writing are among the many realms of human work where the line between #frustrating and #productive struggle remains blurry.”

🧵3/3: please help share that #Palestinian song far and wide, #repost #retoot. While it talks about #Jamal, Ahmed posted it straight after the killing of #Anas & #Aljazeera journalists & dedicated it "to #truth". To support Ahmed, #GazaBirdsSing and #music in #Gaza, please consider giving to his GoFundMe. Given the price of a bag of flour is between $300 to $700, his total currently covers less than one loaf of bread a day for 6 months. https://www.gofundme.com/f/hello-peace-help-innocent-people-to-survive

🧵2/3: Ahmed is using the sound of an incessant #Israeli #drone over #Gaza to pitch his #singing. Miraculously, it remains stable for the entire song, when they usually change pitch making their presence unbearable.The song is about #Jamal carrying a load, a direct reference to a 14 y.o. boy who defied gunfire at a #GHF food distribution point to carry a bag of flour half his weight for 2 hours to feed his sisters https://www.reddit.com/r/Palestine/comments/1mln8f1/jamal_the_14_yearold_boy_who_walked_152_hours/. Ahmed's last notes, mixed drone-free, are haunting

Starmer vs Starmer: a lot of opinions, so I might as well add mine.
The explanation is that Starmer is only interested in power - Human Rights were a ‘trendy’ subject as his career progressed and he is clearly an able lawyer. So he got on the bandwagon. But as we see with human rights, policing, privacy and much more, his real instincts and comfort zone lie with authoritarianism. Simple maybe, but close to the truth.
