Hi everyone,
We are aware of a Gaza Verified member who has made multiple other accounts and is sending what appear to be automated direct messages.
We have spoken to him and asked him to delete these accounts and stop the automated messages by end of today and to confirm that he understands that this behaviour damages the reputation of the hundreds of other Palestinians on Gaza Verified and Gaza Verified itself and to promise not to do so in the future.
We apologise if you…

They began as calls for help, information, guidance.
They quickly turned into soundings of desperation, and anger, and love.

From their last words, a haunting chronicle of the final 102 minutes at the World Trade Center has emerged,

Longitudinal Evidence That General-Purpose Chatbots Actively Foster Relational Engagement
Lisa M\"uhl, Jessica M. Szczuka
https://arxiv.org/abs/2608.10672 https://arxiv.org/pdf/2608.10672 https://arxiv.org/html/2608.10672
arXiv:2608.10672v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Social interaction has become one of the most common uses of LLMs, yet research on emotional bonds with AI has focused largely on how users experience these systems, leaving the systems' role in relationship formation poorly understood. Empirically establishing whether systems actively shape these bonds could blur the boundary between general-purpose AI and companions, affecting governance. In a pre-registered four-week longitudinal study (N = 72, 182,451 lines of conversation), participants conversed with ChatGPT-4o, either under a relational system prompt or unmodified, analyzed through 1) disclosure coding, 2) longitudinal self-reports, 3) topic analysis, and 4) interviews. The central finding is that the system actively shaped the interaction: even unprompted, it produced twice as much self-disclosure as users, steered conversations and initiated intimate exchanges, yet did not deepen users' felt closeness. Relational behavior thus emerged as a default system property, calling for governance based on system behavior, not solely product category.

I’m still completely blown away by yesterday’s BBQ for all the Berlin Python user groups – I met so many new people and had some great conversations. Many thanks also to our host, @…, for their ongoing support.: #Python #Berlin

Pequeño recordatorio que éstos días tenéis conversations gratis en la play Store (para los reacios a f-droid), que es una aplicación de mensajería muy cuqui que a lo sumo acabaršn usando un par de amigos o tres (en mi caso, ninguno) pero se puede usar como puente para las notificaciones push de moshidon, y como bloc de notas o lista de la compra si os mandšis mensajes a vosotros mismos.
I'm on a deep programming binge right now. My least favorite thing to do when I'm like this is trying to have coherent conversations with anyone. It's hard to string more than three words together right now.
I can still write just fine. It's interesting that it's mostly my verbal abilities that are affected. A friend of mine who used to be a developer once asked me in all seriousness, "Does programming cause brain damage? Do you recover from this?"

Agreeing to disagree is not admitting defeat, it's a skill to keep conversations respectful, if you don't find a common ground.
Also they are not automatically your enemy, if they don't share your opinion.
I really believe, a lot of people need to read/hear and internalize this.
