It seems y’all, for some bizarre reason, find it abundantly difficult to find a Xaden who isn’t white so here, I bring you options. Quit with Matt Daddario please. He made a great Alec but Xaden is canonically a moc. It’s like y’all are allergic to melanin.

Al Jazeera correspondent receives threat telling her to leave her home

Oct 30th, 11:50 GMT

Youmna ElSayed, reporting from Gaza City

Our reporter in Gaza City has been told to leave her home. She made this live broadcast from inside her building as explosions from Israeli air attacks were going off all around her.

The phone call that we received was from a private number. The caller addressed my husband with his full name and told him that “This is the Israeli army, we are telling you to evacuate south because in the coming hours it is going to be very dangerous in the area where you are at.”

My husband told him that we know there were tanks is Salah al-Din Street, that’s the main street linking northern Gaza to the south, and he said, “I can’t answer you on which route you would take but the main street could be relatively safer, you should find out yourself but you need to move now”.

In the midst of all this bombardment, I don’t know how safe it would be to actually take our car and leave and drive under this heavy bombardment. It’s very risky, it doesn’t seem safe at all; in the past days, we’ve been seeing videos of cars that were directly targeted while they were on the street going to the south.

So it’s really a very tense situation, I don’t think that if I risk my life and the life of my kids to take this journey that this could be a right decision. And at the same time, they called us directly and warned us telling us to leave now but the bombardment is relentless, how are people like me and others are going to be able to leave? I don’t know what options we have right now.

There are seven families overall in this building. Some of them have their relatives living with them as well, so there are about 100 people in this building. None of the other six families got a warning call from the Israeli military, like we did, so this was a direct threat just to us, to our family.

Listen to Youmna ElSayed report on this live on air while bombardments can be heard nearby

Oct 30th, 12:00 GMT

Al Jazeera’s Wael Dahdouh, who is in Gaza City right now, says heavy smoke can be seen in the area and Israel is carrying out air strikes using white phosphorous on civilian houses.

Evacuation warning to AJ correspondent ‘very worrying’: Media watchdog

Oct 30th, 12:30 GMT

We reported earlier that the husband of Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Gaza City, Youmna ElSayed, received a threatening phone call from the Israeli army telling the family to leave their home immediately, as explosions were going off all around their neighbourhood.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Khadija Patel, chairperson of the International Press Institute, described the call as a “very worrying” development.

“This is an indication of deliberate targeting of journalists, something that we are concerned about as part of a trend that we are seeing within this conflict,” she added.

“We want to … urge the Israeli forces to protect the lives and work of journalists in this war.”

esquiremiddleeast How do you know that you're good at something? Like, actually good at it? It's hard to say. Early reassurance comes from a parent or a teacher, or sometimes via the validation of winning something - but for our #September Cover Star @iFadyElsayed that reassurance came from Benedict Cumberbatch... "Wait, you are that boy from River?! You were incredible!" said Cumberbatch. "I can't even begin to explain what hearing that did for me," Fady Elsayed says to @EsquireMiddleEast The Egyptian-British actor has already had plenty of ups and downs in his bourgeoning career, and as he now gets ready for a big season ahead (starring in @KAOS.netflix , @IndustryHBO and #slowhorses on @AppleTV), he knows that better things are coming his way.

Legal Document Review Using Large Language Models - Elsai

Large Language Models (LLMs) are advanced AI models capable of understanding and generating human-like text. They’re known for their immense size, with millions to billions of parameters, and have revolutionized natural language processing. LLMs undergo a two-step training process, starting with pre-training on extensive text data to learn language patterns and general knowledge. They’re then fine-tuned for specific tasks or domains. LLMs excel in various language applications, including text generation, translation, sentiment analysis, and text classification. However, they also face challenges such as training data bias and ethical concerns, which researchers are actively addressing to ensure responsible use.

Legal Research

In the legal field, the adoption of AI is revolutionizing the process of legal research. Advanced AI systems equipped with large language models offer legal professionals a myriad of benefits. They enable lightning-fast retrieval of legal documents and ensure precision through semantic search algorithms. AI-generated summaries and insights from extensive texts save time and provide a quick understanding of crucial information.

Accuracy is bolstered through citation verification, while historical data analysis assists in predicting legal strategies. AI's multilingual capabilities break down language barriers and foster global legal collaboration.

By automating routine tasks and monitoring legislative changes, AI optimizes efficiency, reduces costs, and enhances compliance and risk assessment. This transformation in legal research not only streamlines the profession but also ensures better-informed decisions and more accessible legal services while reinforcing the vital role of human expertise in the legal process.

Proficiency in Generative AI for the Legal Industry

Becoming proficient in generative AI for the legal industry requires a combination of technical expertise and a deep understanding of legal processes. Legal professionals and AI developers must collaborate to ensure that AI systems meet the highest standards of accuracy, ethics, and compliance with legal regulations.

One key aspect of proficiency is ensuring that large language models (LLMs) are not only capable of generating legal text but also doing so in a manner that aligns with legal best practices and ethical guidelines. This involves fine-tuning the models to provide contextually relevant information while avoiding biased or misleading outputs.

Moreover, proficiency extends to the ability to integrate generative AI seamlessly into legal workflows. This includes adapting AI systems to specific law firm or legal department needs, ensuring data security and privacy, and complying with industry regulations. Legal professionals must also be proficient in understanding AI-generated content, verifying its accuracy, and making informed decisions based on AI-generated insights.

Integration with Authorized Legal Databases

To fully harness the potential of generative AI in the legal industry, integration with authorized legal databases is essential. AI systems can become invaluable resources when they have access to a vast repository of legal documents, statutes, case law, and other authoritative sources.

This integration allows AI to offer real-time, up-to-date information and analysis, greatly enhancing legal research capabilities. Legal professionals can rely on AI to provide comprehensive summaries of cases, identify relevant precedents, and even predict potential legal outcomes based on historical data.

However, integration must be done carefully to ensure data accuracy, security, and compliance with legal and ethical standards. It also requires collaboration with database providers to establish data-sharing agreements and maintain data integrity.

Domain-Specific LLM Training

Domain-specific training is a critical component of generative AI for the legal industry. It involves fine-tuning LLMs to understand the nuances of legal language, terminology, and context. This training enables AI to generate legal text that is contextually relevant, accurate, and aligned with the specific needs of legal professionals.

Training data includes a vast array of legal documents, such as court decisions, statutes, contracts, and legal textbooks. LLMs learn from these documents to recognize patterns, legal reasoning, and the intricacies of different legal domains.

This domain-specific training process ensures that the AI can provide meaningful insights and assist legal professionals in their specific areas of practice.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) Techniques

At the core of generative AI for the legal industry are advanced Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. These techniques enable AI systems to comprehend and generate legal text with human-like fluency and accuracy. NLP techniques involve tasks such as text classification, entity recognition, sentiment analysis, and language generation. In the legal context, NLP plays a crucial role in understanding legal queries, extracting relevant information from documents, and generating legal text that adheres to legal standards.

open starter @chqstarter location: Frisky Kitty Cafe

It was that time of year again where Kesandu's publisher was getting on her for another shot at a draft for the book. Unfortunately classes were just starting so Kesandu knew that she couldn't use grading as an excuse. So she parked herself at the Cafe to try to work on it, but after a few hours the page was just as empty as when she started. "God I'm feeling like that Spongebob episode." Kesandu sighed to no one in particular, her brother had watched enough of the show that she knew what was going on. Turning to the person next to her she took off her glasses and shook her head. "Should I just resort to madlibs? You could give me different words and I can try to come up with something." If it wasn't clear by now, Kesandu was desperate.

Stephane, I couldn't agree more. These people are fucking heroes keeping everyone informed when it matters so much, putting personal risk aside to work for others

They should never have been targeted and I can't understand how one can see these stories of murders and attacks and not go "hey the good guys WOULDN'T HAVE TO KILL JOURNALISTS AND THEIR FAMILIES"
