Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

“The water would be supplied by Carvins Cove Reservoir, the primary drinking water source for Botetourt County and much of the Roanoke Valley” 👍

By now, we're all part of the kill chain

Haha por quê? Junior é unanimidade

Mas sendo aceito e comemorado igual ela?

bebendo água e alucinando tal qual uma llm

No problem. Thank you very much

Matthew, I would like to continue yesterday's argument if that's ok with you. Is there any way in which we can exchange messages other than here?

Last one before I go to bed (I don't mean to be rude, but my class starts in 7 hours 😨). I'm thinking about lawyers and judges, students and teachers. And even those jobs that require any level of skill to produce a good text, like secretaries and so on. I'm not talking about usual emails and posts

My apologies. It's probably because English is not my native language. I'm sorry to bother you. I just like to discuss this subject with experts like you. I learn a lot 😊

It's a good analogy. But I'm thinking this: if writing is a product that any machine can do, then there's no need for any qualification other than prompting. What reduces the importance of some types of writing for society is obviously its subsumption to capital, something that favours and pumps LLM

What I'm trying to say is that when we think about the writing, we need to consider that the human skills are involved in a way that makes it hard to disconnect the social product from the work. If we can't differentiate the execution from the skill, how can someone get a job promotion for example?

Yes, absolutely. But let's flip the coin: if writing is a also (or mainly) a "task" like the dish to the dishwasher, nobody is expected to excel in it anymore, the same way there's no prizes or compliments to any person who is extremely good at washing dishes, right?

Hahaha essa do Maurício me escapou haha! Genial

O Fukuyama arranjou uma namorada chatbot?

Sim. No momento em que foi comprada pelo conglomerado eu já saquei que ia degringolar... Só não contava que seria tão rápido

Segundo a Al Jazeera, a escola de meninas acertada duas vezes(double tap, um crime de guerra que objetiva matar socorristas) recebia prioritariamente filhas de militares-chaves da Guarda Revolucionária Iraniana.

O ataque teria sido deliberado para afetar a moral e matar pais que fossem ao local.

Depois da Odete Roitman de Manu Dias, não duvido de mais nada

If reality keeps showing us that it is worse than all the data gathered by the scientists so far, I fear for humanity

Global sea levels have been underestimated due to poor modelling, research suggests Analysis shows average levels are 30cm higher than thought, and up to 150cm in south-east Asia and Indo-Pacific Sea levels around the world have been underestimated due to inaccurate modelling, with research suggesting ocean levels are far higher than previously understood. The finding could significantly affect assessments of the future impacts of global heating and the effects on coastal settlements. Continue reading...

La altura del nivel del mar en las costas del planeta es mayor de lo que se pensaba: “Podríamos ver impactos devastadores” Una medición más precisa de las aguas las eleva más de un metro en buena parte de la Tierra, algo que cambia por completo el peligro de crecidas por el calentamiento

(O que para as faculdades privadas é uma bênção.)

Sim. Lança um contingente de estudantes em espaços escolares (no caso das Licenciaturas) sem contrapartida, supostamente aliviando carências do aparelho público de ensino. Além disso, nos bacharelados, diminui ainda mais necessidade de corpo docente contratado, já que 10% da CH é por conta do aluno

Um banqueiro, um pastor evangélico e um ex-funcionário do BACEN entram num bar...

Deixa eu ver se entendi: um mês depois de colocar as mãos (ilegalmente e com o beneplácito mundial) sobre as reservas de petróleo da Venezuela, as maiores do mundo, os EUA lançam uma guerra que -- eles sabem -- terá como efeito a elevação dos preços do petróleo? É isso? Hummmm...

It's great when our ideas resonate like this in young people's minds, isn't it? I see what is happening in US as a sort of preview of what may happen in Brazil sooner or later. I try to raise people's awareness about EdTech, but most of the time I feel like I'm talking to myself alone...

What to do when subconsciously blame your own colleagues for some of the destruction? I mean, everbody knows it is a systemic problem, but there are some damages that are exacerbated by the peers, right?
