Generative AI is a societal disaster
Governments are deluding themselves into believing investment justifies allowing AI to upend society
The AI industry wants us to believe AI superintelligence is the real threat from generative AI.
But that narrative was crafted to distract from the many ways genAI is being used to tear our societies apart, as we saw this week when a deepfake video rocked the Irish election. It must be reined in.

I must confess, "China killed fossil fuel hegemony by simply overproducing solar infrastructure until oil couldn't afford to compete anymore" is something I look forward to reading in future history textbooks.

Alt text: A man in camouflage clothing and a face covering sits inside a gray Jeep, pointing a weapon out of the open driver-side window. The gun is aimed directly at the camera. The man wears gloves and a dark cap, and his eyes are visible above the mask. The vehicle’s door and side mirror are wet with raindrops.
ICE is a hostile occupying force that is a danger to everyone.

Private prison and surveillance companies like Geo Group, CoreCivic, and Palantir just reported massive profits last quarter thanks to lucrative government contracts for Trump's mass deportation machine.
All of course donated to Trump's inauguration.
They're getting rich off cruelty.

Germany Plans Global Alternative to PubMed
In the wake of a brief PubMed outage, team launches project to ensure uninterrupted access
'They say there's a need to create such a service in case U.S. funding is curtailed or the quantity or quality of its 37 million citations fall victim to politicization, or a DOGE-like chain saw attack of its trained personnel, sources told MedPage Today.'

Não foi bug, glitch, nem erro de aprendizado. Foi uma injeção deliberada no prompt-base. A resposta da xAI é uma cortina de fumaça para proteger a narrativa de neutralidade. Na prática, é um caso claro de uso da IA como vetor de guerra informacional sob controle privado, com potencial para repetição

Artigo extremamente importante (especialmente quando o Secretário de Saúde dos EUA quer ligar vacinas ao autismo):
Um estudo de 10 anos na Suécia mostra que o número de pessoas com autismo permaneceu estável. O reconhecimento dela como autistas (e número de diagnósticos) é que mudou.

Israel admite que seus militares executaram 15 socorristas em Gaza. Governo do país também reconheceu que todas as vítimas estavam desarmadas e diz que fará um "exame minucioso" do incidente e que "entenderiam a sequência de eventos e o tratamento da situação".

Calling Gaza an “enclave” is inverted reality. Gaza isnt a sovereign fragment, it is a besieged prison camp carved out from its own homeland. Israel, on the other hand, is the real enclave, a settler-colonial outpost supported by Western power, held in place through overwhelming force and mythmaking

New evidence suggests that some of the 15 Palestinian aid workers killed by Israeli forces in Rafah last week were shot at close range in what appeared to be execution-style killings.

59 dias depois, há guerra novamente na Faixa de Gaza. A trégua foi rompida. E isso aconteceu da forma mais inesperada: com uma ofensiva “preventiva” em larga escala do exército israelense, lançada de surpresa e com negociações ainda em aberto.

Israel retomou os bombardeamentos em Gaza. O Estado português e a União Europeia não podem continuar a ser cúmplices do genocídio na Palestina.
