É aquilo, né? Solução pra qual problema? O único “problema” que IA busca solucionar hoje é a necessidade de pagar pelo trabalho de trabalhadores.

Na edição 2025 do territórios, também notei vários livros que não existiam no curso de contos (não lembro se era a mesma professora) 🙄 Aparentemente a bibliografia é apenas decorativa

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

This is obviously a very important german court ruling. AI providers are liable for false information given by AI. But I'd like to draw your attention to the original cause of the court case. It's something I noticed often, and I feel it's very dangerous. 1/ www.wired.com/story/a-cour...

A Court Has Ruled That Google Is Liable for False Statements Generated by AI Overviews
The ruling holds that a company that designs, trains, operates, and manages an AI system must assume legal liability for any damages caused by the responses it generates.

"Generative AI requires sacrificing the world’s water to feed its hideous data centres. Around the globe, chatbots induce schizophrenic delusions and urge teens to kill themselves – all while turning users brains to mush" Thanks Molly! ✊🔥 Artists too are fighting for a way of life. For sure we are!

I'm beginning to think that the worst part of a grey goo scenario would be humans going "yeah, it's not great but... It's sort of comfortable? Doesn't taste too bad either, and you know... It's everywhere, so why fight it? Look how much grey goo we've all got, right? Discrete objects are woke."

Pelas minha experiências: se os exames forem para o anestesista, tudo bem. Se forem para o cirurgião, você já vai estar apagada quando forem olhar os exames. Melhor levar tudo impresso.

In the end it seems to me that one of the main distinctions between people who see LLMs as good and those who don't is whether they see the digital part of the world as "content" or "people". If it's all just content, LLMs make sense. If it's where people live LLMs become a somewhat dumb idea.

Open knowledge sharing AND copyright are both under siege. Whether you are for one or the other doesn't matter. This is a shared issue that's hitting "both sides". They are taking away YOUR choice, replacing it with regurgitation & centralisation while the open internet withers away. 📌 Instance🧵

There are many reasons why AI slop has become the aesthetic of current digital fascism, but one may lie in the competitive and selective logic of AI training itself: GenAI amplifies the presence of those who are already highly visible – while rendering invisible those who are already marginalized 5/

deeply moved by this project from the Hong Kong Action Archives that is building a map of memories: everything from the taste of a now-closed dai pai dong to recollections of protest. 曾經,每年6月4日晚都會集滿人的地方。每次有咩唔開心都會喺度望住個維港沉思。we will remember. waysofrememberinghongkong.hkaa.co
14年嘅時候,呢度曾經有一個習近平拎住黃遮嘅紙牌人。
one day I came out of office, and front door was tightly closed, street are no longer occupied by busy buses and traffic, but with faces like me calling out for the same demands without neglicting any single one of the five.

Much of the "is AI art?" questions are really "is AI communication?" but in disguise. AI can make art because a urinal factory can make art. If AI makes art, it's through designation, not intent. AI is a one-sided simulation of communication processed exclusively by the viewer. There's no exchange.

read this and had a full epiphany that ai has simply trained all these idiots to give it easy prompts.
I was trying to win over a friend who was skeptical of AI image generation and every prompt they asked me to try wasn't really feasible one shot: (1) an empty frame with MySpace/Y2K aesthetics (functional negative space is hard) in; (2) a step by step guide on how to cook pasta (requires sequential content); (3) Persian calligraphy saying Pizza (words are hard enough, let alone stylised). 

Cursed requests, but kind of shows how a non-techie would approach this stuff when models aren't really optimised for this out of the box. Many techies aren't particularly good at prompting, but they still have a much better feel for what works/doesn't than your average consumer. I think these intuitions will come with time, but also better products will be built making these edge cases more and more rare.Related: I rarely run into hallucinations with LLMs these days, but that’s partly because I’ve implicitly learned what (not) to ask them. It’s just part of the skillset, like knowing that web search won’t help with “where did I put my glasses?” or “why is my aunt mad at me.”
