事の哀れ

Micheque vai deixar de ser princesa da máfia e entrar pra velha aristocracia brasileira?

Dear [TEACHER], I want to make sure we're on the same page for the rest of the year, because I was surprised and disappointed to hear that you uploaded student projects to ChatGPT. We have always found [SCHOOL] to be a place that encourages students to express themselves creatively, to be responsible and aware of how their actions affect others, and to be intellectually honest – doing their own work, rather than copying from others. I know ChatGPT has been heavily marketed as an educational tool, but everything about it is the opposite of those values. AI tools are built by training models on stolen work. They have huge and terrible environmental costs, because their data centers generate enormous amounts of pollution and are cooled with drinking water. They're also incredibly dangerous: tools like ChatGPT have taught children how to start fires and even encouraged them to commit suicide. And in a classroom setting, it teaches students that a machine can express their ideas better than they can. I told [ CHILD ] I was interested in seeing what they had to draw, and my heart sank when they told me "but I can't draw that pretty." Children deserve to draw what they imagine. These environmental, ethical, and pedagogical concerns are why I don't want [ CHILD ] to use AI tools (or for you to use them on their behalf). For the same reasons, I respectfully ask that you stop using them in your classroom. If you do plan to use AI this year, please send home a permission slip requesting consent. There are important privacy concerns when you upload student work into a for-profit service like ChatGPT. Thank you, [ PARENT ]

I ended up drafting an email that didn't really lean on research specific to grade school education, but expressed my concerns in the most basic terms.

I removed the personal details and have shared it as a template here for folks who might find it useful:

Bluesky premium pra ler isso aqui:

And it's not like China is the only one doing it, like it's the only one managing to do a lot of things.

By now it's commonplace. Brazil today:

O Trump perdoou o Aécio, mano

Tecnologias máquina de lavar vs. Tecnologias torradeira

Diga-se de passagem, "PL" é um nome bem ruim de partido político num parlamento que gera PLs.

Já o PL, "O PL está contra porque é um macho branco evangélico, uma mulher negra eles não ousariam" é... faz sentido.

O sujeito não tem nenhum medo de ser chamado de corrupto, que é o suprassumo dos insultos na política brasileira, bem acima de assassino. Daria um tiro ao vivo na mesa do Senado.

Até porque, como a gente sabe, a imprensa numa situação assim é muito crítica à misoginia da direita, mesmo que só implícita.

Para ser um crime de guerra tem que ter um estado de guerra, e acho bem complicado dizer isso. Se houvesse guerra, seria um crime de guerra, mas no momento é só um crime comum. (Hediondo)

Se tem uma coisa que o PL e o Alcolumbre querem evitar a todo custo, é ser chamados de misóginos no bluesky.

Heard the one about how dozens of researchers assigned $144,000 worth of real world human tasks to the world’s “smartest” AIs to manage and…

They fucked up so monumentally that they were able to generate $1700 between them

Sabe o que mais me impressiona do crime do calvo do campari? Que uma carreira como influenzer possa sobreviver a um apelido desses.

Tá errado, por acaso?

O detalhe é que pelos critérios deles a galera que eles estão dizendo que é AFF branco nem é branca.

Many Fighting Climate Change Worry They Are Losing the Information War

I've been thinking for a while that fighting the fossil fuel propaganda war is the most important climate fight to be having. The other side is well funded (and hence well armed) and we need to be as well.

My artwork of a Sunset on Mars. Dust and small particles suspended in the Martian atmosphere scatter light in the direction of the Sun forward. This creates a blue halo around the setting Sun, rendering a Martian landscape quite different from its terrestrial equivalent.

Gente, mas essa reportagem vai além da chapa branca pra alucinação tecnológica.

Elon Musk mandando "this is what happened. it's true." pra um tuíte citando Stephen Miller mandando teoria de conspiração de que democratas estariam importando eleitores para oprimir a raça branca.

Isso aqui é o Clyde sendo nazista, sim, mas não só: é também ele e o Miller pavimentando um projeto de fraude maciça no ano que vem - até porque pelo andar da carruagem, sem fraude maciça o Trump vai conviver com um congresso 80% democrata.

Tem sempre o poema do ondaatje

Todo mundo de esquerda que fica usando gerador de plágio pra gerar meme é cúmplice.

Logo mais eles vão estar exigindo que empregado insira chip de localização, né?

Yes.

I just have to leave the doors open

Das coisas mais engraçadas pra mim é que a esquerda sempre se disse anti formalidade, mas nunca teve coragem de tornar a comunicação de governo informal. Meanwhile, o fascio:

"Knowledge ultimately residing in private property is the dream"

One can argue that this an AI/LLM based form of enclosure, more than simple extraction or commodification alone. As such, it's by definition carceral and authoritarian. To make it impossible to know, or think-with anything else.
