Alexander sat outside Taylor’s home, waiting for the police to arrive. He opened the #ChatGPT app on his phone.
“I’m dying today,” he wrote, according to a transcript of the conversation. “Let me talk to Juliet.”
“You are not alone,” ChatGPT responded empathetically, & offered crisis counseling resources.
When the police arrived, Alexander Taylor charged at them holding the knife. He was #shot & #killed.

United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs #UN #OCHA periodical update on #Gaza:
At least 54,084 Palestinians #killed by now, including¹ at least 16,854 #children (of which 931 younger than 1 year; 356 killed immediately after birth), and 8,304 #women.
1,580 health workers killed
After a complete halt of entry of all humanitarian supplies into Gaza, Israel has permitted "basic" imports starting May 18th 2025. The amount and the mode of distribution of the permitted imports is still utterly insufficient, puts people at risk, and does not include required humanitarian services.
It is expected that between May and the end of September 2025, the entire population of Gaza will face crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity (IPC 3 and above), including over a million people (54 per cent) in the emergency phase (IPC Phase 4) and 470,000 people (22 per cent) facing catastrophic levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 5).
1.875 million people in need of emergency shelters.²

"‘We are not criminals’ says Hossam Shabat who was killed today by Israel in resurfaced video" [ ± 1min]

Quote by MEE:
"Mar 25, 2025
In a resurfaced video from July 2024, Hossam Shabat—killed on Monday by Israel—mourned the deaths of his colleagues, saying, “We are not criminals. We are reporting the truth.”
Shabat, a contributor to Al Jazeera’s Mubasher, was killed in an Israeli attack on his car in northern Gaza.
His death follows the killing of another journalist, Mohammad Mansour, a reporter for Palestine Today TV, who was killed in an Israeli air strike targeting a house in the Al-Batin Al-Sameen area, south of Khan Younis, earlier on Monday.
At least 208 journalists have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since October 2023."

"Gaza Journalist Hossam Shabat Killed By Israel After Military Placed Him on "Hit List" [18:41 min]
by Democracy Now!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LCCyawksdE
Quote by DN!:
"Mar 25, 2025
On Monday, Israeli strikes killed two Palestinian journalists: Al Jazeera's Hossam Shabat, who was 23 years old, and Palestine Today's Mohammed Mansour, who was killed in his apartment alongside his wife. This brings the total number of journalists that Israel has killed in Gaza over the past year and a half to 206. Just before his death, Shabat had shared news of Mansour's killing on social media and filed an article with Drop Site News describing Israel's scorched-earth campaign in his hometown of Beit Hanoun. His editor Sharif Abdel Kouddous remembers Shabat as a "warm and funny person," dedicated to his job and his community. In recent months, he had been under increasing surveillance by the Israeli military, which labeled him a terrorist and placed him on a "hit list." Despite being "targeted and openly hunted," Shabat "continued nevertheless to cover the genocide of his people."
