Hasnain says:

“The letter also calls on the broadcaster to implement a series of editorial commitments including “reiterating that Israel does not give external journalists access to Gaza; making it clear when there is insufficient evidence to back up Israeli claims; making clear where Israel is the perpetrator in article headlines; including regular historical context predating October 2023; and robustly challenging Israeli government and military representatives in all interviews”.”

Hasnain says:

This is going unquoted because I cannot find a single non horrifying thing to quote.

Hasnain says:

“The false citations do point to how AI misinformation can influence state policy, however — especially if high-level state officials use the technology as a drafting shorthand that causes mistakes that end up in public documents and official resolutions.”

Hasnain says:

“Also:

Don’t let people bully you into thinking that just because something is complicated, it’s impossible.
This is because almost every standard (except ISO8601, whatever) is just a file, and you can read it. You are smart. You can do it. Embrace the weirdness of Greenland’s daylight savings. Believe in yourself.
If I were UN secretary general, I would kick out any countries that I deem insufficiently considerate of Paul Eggert’s time”

Hasnain says:

This was inspiring.

“Despite these setbacks, I found other ways to make an impact. During Sudan’s revolution, I ran a social media campaign that raised $10,000 to send top AI students from Sudan to a major AI conference in Africa. Many are now making strides at companies like Google, Meta, and Silicon Valley startups. By my final semesters, though, the struggle caught up with me — I was barely getting through. I left academia with two workshop papers and two Ph.D. offers in hand.”

Hasnain says:

“"We are resigning due to information that has recently come to our attention which has led us to no longer be able to rely on management's and the Audit Committee's representations and to be unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management," Super Micro quoted EY as saying in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commision.”

Hasnain says:

Sigh.

(found this after I found the video clip circulating)

“Jennifer Guilbeault, 23, faces charges of second-degree assault as a hate crime, third-degree assault as a hate crime, and aggravated harassment for allegedly spraying the driver after he began praying in Arabic at an intersection. When the woman’s friend asked why she attacked the driver, she allegedly responded, “he’s brown.””

Hasnain says:

“Whether I'll be using Cursor in a few years or have moved on to another tool, I can't really tell. I am confident that at the time of writing this, Cursor is the best example of the potential of LLM coding assistants, and if you want to explore how this type of tool might be of value I suggest you give it a spin.”

Hasnain says:

“The rapid expansion of these shops underscores the demand for late-night social spots for not only young Muslims and Middle Easterners, but also younger people who are looking for a non-digital third space where they can hang out without alcohol or having to yell over loud music.”

Hasnain says:

“Based on data released in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, the film reports that 21,000 foreign workers from the three countries have died since Vision 2030 was launched eight years ago in 2016.”
