    I’m still shaken by the Bondi massacre. Some humans such pieces of sh1t. Not only the ones that did the attacking, but some of the rhetoric flying about is also revolting.

      Same, I’ve had to limit my exposure to the news and online commentary because it was really affecting me yesterday.

        I did this some time ago - I have a very heavily filtered Mastodon feed, and a carefully curated RSS feed - both mostly around tech news, and as little to do with LLMs as possible.

        Don’t regret this for a minute from a mental health perspective, especially when something happens like this.

        Yeah it was for me too. I ended up deleting the ABC app because I was compulsively checking it every 20 or so minutes for most of yesterday. They showed photos of the victims (taken before it happened) and that broke me. I just couldn’t deal with it and broke down. I’ve still checked the website too many times today, but I’m slightly more composed than yesterday.

        I just wanted to drop in and make sure everybody was holding up okay, or i guess better than I was. Hugs, not that that feels very helpful at the moment, at least not to me :/
