Às vezes o cara gosta de pão com bosta, mas ele não gosta de delivery e prefere comer no estabelecimento mesmo

Evidence Grows That Google's AI Overviews Have Eviscerated the Media Industry Google's AI overviews have eviscerated the media landscape, with some top publications losing up to 97 percent of their web traffic.

Welp. The internet had a nice run.

Some outlets have lost over 90% of their traffic since the "AI" summaries rolled out.

"...the four worst-hit publications [now] get less monthly web traffic combined than the r/ChatGPT subreddit gets on its own."

Que tal privatizar o Judiciário para as Big Techs? Essa é uma boa tradução da pergunta feita por um colunista que eu costumava cumprimentar com efusão no passado.

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 last photo of third-grader Mikaeil Mirdoraghi, waving to his mom before he left for school. He was killed shortly after in the U.S./Israeli strike on a primary school in Minab.

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?
