You sure it’s not disabled for AndroidPolice.com? I’m still seeing it.

I am not excusing anybody, I am just tired of the blatant propaganda with zero reliable sources.

What you describe is horrible, and also it is simply not real, but entirely the result of your imagination. No source claims any of this the way you describe it.

In fact the latest reports describe two separate events, one where the stampede occurred, with no IDF involvement, and another event where there was a shooting at a check point. There is NO way to know what exactly happened from behind the keyboard. At this point all your claims are only the reflection of your beliefs, and nothing more.

That’s not the description of a stampede which would result in killing 100+ people, even if true.

We will probably never know exactly what happened, as we only have IDF- and Hamas-controlled reporting of it, both obviously heavily skewed.

But the claim that this is Israeli military simply shooting to murder 100+ people is to say the least obviously unsubstantiated.

A stampede caused by Israel forces opening fire on the crowd.

It is not helpful that you just made that up on the spot. Not even close to what you linked to, or what both sides claim.

This is grossly misleading reporting.

The deaths were caused by a stampede. Very small number of people were fired on after approaching a military checkpoint and after warning fires.

Still a tragedy, but nothing like what the title makes it out to be.

LLMs are really crappy at writing books right now.

However there is zero evidence they will not get better, in fact they are getting exponentially better all the time at all tasks which are getting measured.

My bet is on LLMs soon being able to put out mediocre fiction, and then not much later great fiction, indistinguishable from the best authors out there.

Then again on a second attempt I get wildly different resutls, for both of them. Might be a matter of advanced settings, like temperature, but single examples don’t seem to be indicative of one being better than the other at this type of Qs.
