"The complete and utter failure of the metaverse is a reminder not just of the fact that the future Silicon Valley is force feeding us is not inevitable, but that quite often these oligarchs quite simply cannot relate to real people." www.404media.co/rip-metavers...

OpenAI news: 1. Sora is dead. May the memory of its four-month existence as a copyright infringement machine be a blessing. 2. Disney is pulling out of its billion-dollar investment in OpenAI entirely. Turns out when you try to serve AI slop on a product people pay for, no one wants it.

Adding extra work on package maintainers' plates doesn't seem like a good way to encourage OSS devs to produce & maintain the great parts of the Flutter ecosystem.

"você acharia bom supermercado não abrir domingo?". Sim. Gente, houve um tempo mercado fechava domingo e só abria 14h da 2a feira. Ninguém morreu. Você aprende a se organizar. Se todo mundo passar a trabalhar 4x3 inclusive todo mundo terá tempo para não precisar gastar domingo no mercado.

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

“If you wanted to create a tool that would enable the destruction of institutions that prop up democratic life, you could not do better than AI. Authoritarian leaders & tech oligarchs are deploying AI systems to hollow out public institutions with an astonishing alacrity.”

cada vez que você, mesmo que inadvertidamente ou na melhor das intenções, usa uma ferramenta de IA generativa está delegando um pouco de poder pras pessoas mais escrotas que a humanidade foi capaz de regurgitar

One problem that Americans have to get past is that this *is* who they are. It’s not an aberration - this is what the US society is. All that time kidding yourself about being the greatest nation on earth you have been murdering your own citizens and those in other countries.

I’ve seen too many Americans talk about how the USA used to be an example to other nations. Let me just tell you, yes it has been. It has been an example of what not to be. Healthcare, education, law enforcement, military use, gun laws, social security etc… But yeah you make some good movies.

✊🏽 VITÓRIA! A rede social X e a inteligência artificial Grok têm 7 dias para impedirem a criação de pornograf*a infantil e pornograf*a sem consentimento. Essa é uma decisão conjunta da Agência Nacional de Proteção de Dados, do MPF e da Senacon fundamentada nas minhas denúncias. +👇🏽

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

Today is the precise 36th anniversary of the last time the United States used force to remove a Latin American head of state, in case you’re keeping score.

2025 was the first year of my life which was full of photography, now I know that it'll forever be full of photography the only thing I can say about photography is the following: thank you for everything

This Brazilian woman hates AI

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Eles querem criar um gênio que realiza desejos, e o desejo deles é que ninguém nunca mais faça arte. Eles querem criar um novo tipo de consciência, tão frágil a ponto de só servir pra servir. O sonho deles é inventar novas formas de vida para escravizar.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Thanks to Gildásio Filho (@gildaswise.com) and Beatriz Pniewski, this essay is now available in Brazilian Portuguese! Só humanos podem odiar. Eu comemoro a minha humanidade.
