People refuse to acknowledge how an LLM actually works, and insist on assigning meaning and understanding to its output.

There is no meaning and the system understands neither the user’s question nor its own “response.” At least, not in the sense people expect from the conversational format of the interaction.

Hey everyone,

@casey and @aseelfromgz had the honour of speaking to three families from Gaza today and we’d like to welcome them to Gaza Verified.

They are:

• Raghadkadash (@RAGHD123)
• The TwinS (@kr7you5)
• AlaaGaza2026 (@AlaaGaza2026)

Please give them a warm welcome to Mastodon and to the fediverse, follow their accounts, and donate to their fundraisers if you can (and please share this so others can do the same).

Also, remember that you can find all our families who have fundraisers listed at the following page, ordered by those who have received the least in donations over the last week (on a rolling basis):

Thank you for making Mastodon and the fediverse a safe space for our friends in Gaza and for your support.

💕

🚨 Mastodon DOES NOT ask you to verify yourself, EVER. 🚨

Currently there are scammers who want you to click a link by acting like #Mastodon staff

Please REPORT these accounts so we can ban them across the #Fediverse

- Say hello to your many LGBTQ followers/friends here, just because you're glad they're here
- Toot a picture of some mushroom you ran into while walking in the forst
- Something something astronomy
