BlueSky was offline or completely broken for me for about 1 hour yesterday, on both PC and mobile

Not surprised, after reading that post

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.

Yeah same here...

I think about this take more often than I'd like to.

Assim que pararmos de jogar com 9 (sem goleiro e centroavante) a 2a marcha vai engatar e não voltar mais

Tem mais coisa pra ajustar, mas se não corrigir essas a gente não vai longe em nada

nessa jogada(ça) do Danilo ficou clara a diferença de qualidade
o maluco limpou uns ou 3, fez tabela, passou pro Cabral e... a jogada morreu

até agora nesse ano os 2 principais centroavantes do time tem, somados, menos gols (4) que nosso volante (5)

JAMAIS CRITIQUEI O MMMM

a evolução da medicina é uma coisa incrível né, até seres inanimados ganhando movimento

acho que tem uma regra que proíbe técnicos do Botafogo de mexer antes dos adversários
fair play etc.

nessas horas sempre lembro que gastamos mais de R$80mi num cara que é tão ruim que preferem botar o MM improvisado de 9

quem não está né

e nem vai mudar por mais 20 minutos 😒

pode ser até o curintia do piauí, de graça

o maluco não consegue nem dar um chutão pra frente, inacreditável

as pernas tremeram na frente do gol

Procurei hoje matérias exaltando o exemplo de gestão do mais querido® e não achei

As if there weren't enough bad signs already, piracy was also incredibly high

When I first started with J2ME games, there'd be the phone operator and what they called "integrators" or "aggregators" - each taking about 30-60% of what was left from the previous cut

We'd effectively receive 8% of the sale price
Unsurprisingly, it wasn't a sustainable model

In 2024 the San Francisco-based Anthropic deployed its model across the US Department of War and other national security agencies to speed up war planning. Claude became part of a system developed by the war-tech company Palantir with the Pentagon to “dramatically improve intelligence analysis and enable officials in their decision-making processes”. “The AI machine is making recommendations for what to target, which is actually much quicker in some ways than the speed of thought,” said Craig Jones, a senior lecturer in political geography at Newcastle University and an expert in kill chains. “So you’ve got scale and you’ve got speed, you’re [carrying out the] assassination-style strikes at the same time as you’re decapitating the regime’s ability to respond with all the aerial ballistic missiles. That might have taken days or weeks in historic wars. [Now] you’re doing everything at once.” The latest AI systems can rapidly analyse mountains of information on potential targets from drone footage to telecommunications interceptions as well as human intelligence. Palantir’s system uses machine learning to identify and prioritise targets and recommend weaponry, accounting for stockpiles and previous performance against similar targets. It also uses automated reasoning to evaluate legal grounds for a strike.

“This is the next era of military strategy and military technology,” said David Leslie, professor of ethics, technology and society at Queen Mary University of London, who has observed demonstrations of AI military systems. He also warned that reliance on AI can result in “cognitive off-loading”. Humans tasked with making a strike decision can feel detached from its consequences because the effort to think it through has been made by a machine. On Saturday 165 people, many children, were killed in a missile strike that hit a school in southern Iran, according to state media. It appeared to be close to a military barracks and the UN called it “a grave violation of humanitarian law”. The US military has said it is looking into the reports.

In the days before the Iran strikes, the US administration had said it would banish Anthropic from its systems after it refused to allow its AI to be used for fully autonomous weapons or surveillance of US citizens. But it remains in use until it is phased out. Anthropic’s rival, OpenAI, quickly signed its own deal with the Pentagon for military use of its models. “The advantage is in the speed of decision-making, the collapsing of planning from what might have taken days or weeks before to minutes or seconds,” said Leslie. “These systems produce a set of options for human decision makers but [they’ve] got a much narrower time band … to evaluate the recommendation.” “The deployment of AI is expanding,” said Prerana Joshi, research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, a defence thinktank. “It is being done across countries’ defence estates … across logistics, training, decision management, maintenance.” She added: “AI is a technology that will allow decision makers, and anyone in that chain, to improve the productivity and efficiency of what they do. It’s a way of synthesising data at a much faster pace that is helpful to decision makers.”

This article and the academics quoted are a stunning illustration of how both media and academia have fundamentally failed to recognise how a random number generator is being used to widen the already-fucking-wide permission space for mass murder

Both now helping that project

Surpreso mas nada triste haha

Why The Secret Agent should win the best picture Oscar

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Tem fetiche pra tudo né

i think ive paid gabe newell more from the proceeds of my games than i've paid the government, but gabe doesn't pave my roads or fund my schools or feed the kids in my community

probably a few overdue conversations to be had about maybe paying less gabes before we pay less taxes or something

Getting off US tech: a guide I’m in the process of dropping US tech services. Here’s how I did it, and options you should consider.

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!

Headlines moved on quickly from the schoolgirls in Minab. We don’t know their names; no media profiles about their lives and aspirations. No smiling photos attached to quotes from mourning families.

How unfair that some dead are memorialised while others are relegated to ‘estimated casualties.’

Now you're just showing off
