For all human history, it was far more difficult to write a document than to read it. Until now. But generating a document doesn't make the work of *producing meaning* disappear. It's just been outsourced from the producers of the document to its consumers.

"Escaping the permanent underclass" – This is what upskilling looks like today: a strange mix of neoliberal competitiveness, historical materialism and feudal imagination.

I gave a short interview to Mieke Gerritzen. Recently, I promised myself I wouldn’t talk about the kitsch of good intentions anymore, but then I open LinkedIn, go to design conferences, and realize it hasn't faded in the slightest. Let’s move on. nextnature.org/en/magazine/...

Is AI useful or not? To answer that, you shouldn't imagine a fully focused and energized version of yourself making use of it. Rather, picture yourself swamped, tired, and in a rush. That's how you'll get an honest answer.

I wrote a short article on the "sketchy realism" of AI images, that is, the operational mismatch where, due to their photorealism, images meant as sketches or rough prototypes are intuitively perceived as finished products. silviolorusso.com/publication/...

ando navegando conteúdos sobre CLT no Tiktok, e realmente, é fascinante como o discurso do autônomo/pj e afins hoje ocupa o mesmíssimo espaço da gramática política dos movimentos socialistas do século XIX. este vídeo em especial, e os comentários, achei muito sintético:
