"LLMs aren't linguistic agents like humans. Sensational claims overlook that language is embodied, participatory & dynamic—qualities incompatible with current AI. Languaging isn't fully capturable by data or models. #AI #LanguageModels #CognitiveScience" https://t.co/k6p760DRZs

Just days ago, Israel was relying on and coordinating with UNRWA to carry out the second round of a polio vaccination drive in Gaza. Now, it has outlawed the organization — with potentially catastrophic consequences for Palestinians in Gaza, the West Bank, and across the region.
