«Everyone has their own way of solving problems» Original post

It remains very weird to me that in a world of actually useful technology -- photovoltaic power generation, mRNA vaccines, maglev trains, smart phones, etc -- the tech sector has gone so all-in on bullshit generators and plagiarism machines.

I write about people who became famous for saying and doing horrible things so I routinely get asked this question. "Did they really believe it?" Look, I get the curiosity, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what's in their hearts. They put evil into the world.

O Foro de Teresina desta semana discute a derrota que o Senado impôs a Lula ao rejeitar a indicação de Jorge Messias ao STF. Com Fernando de Barros e Silva, Ana Clara Costa e Celso Rocha de Barros. Ouça agora: piaui.co/48wkfP8

Por fim queria dizer que você pode não estar errado sendo entusiasta. Eu, sendo educador, estou errado. Eu tenho de ser conservador nesta hora. Preciso ser crítico. Preciso olhar o trem indo veloz e imaginar que pode ter uma falésia logo ali e não o futuro lindo. Nossos papéis são distintos!

Muito mais chance de ser velheira minha do que competência do Ridley Scott, mas todos os outros filmes da lista (com a exceção óbvia e merecida de 2001 do Kubrick) envelheceram *muito* mal para mim. Blade Runner eu consigo assistir 2 vezes por ano desde 1985!

A university that brings together the smartest kids from all over the world, regardless of social status, skin colour, religion etc and educates them to become smart, rational, kind, humanistic experts on all sorts of topics from MINT to humanities.

I've read the 3 articles (the one I'm reposting, the NYT article it cites and the @benjaminjriley.bsky.social text cited by the NYT). Highly recommended!

Well... I definitely think that one of the major educators talks is exactly to "prepare students for the unknown". Then again, I see almost no correlation between "introducing new technology" and "improving education".

"Technology in schools is not inevitable, it's a choice". And, for most aspects, a terrible choice, I might add.

e assim pra mim essa pessoa assinar essa tradução é propaganda enganosa. se tiver tradução de IA deveria haver algum dispositivo legal que obrigasse a sinalizar isso no livro pro consumidor (o mercado só liga pra leitor nesses termos mesmo então que assim seja)

This is what it looks like when you view your country like an underage model who you are totally prepared to defile and ruin and then discard, leaving all her future dreams destroyed, and her with PTSD and clinical depression requiring years of reparative treatment, if she can even qualify.

This sounds like a study funded by Big Guitar.

Yep. I recognize this verse is the Bible! Darwin 14:489.

"(...) when people meet for the first time, they don’t ask, How are you? They actually do ask, What do you do? " really got me.

This is the first work to reveal how AI not only can deskill you but how it can do so in an *asymptomatic* manner. Come by to learn why no one else caught it till now, and why it's actually hard to catch. 5/n

Vale a pena ler, com calma, a matéria.

Exactly 💯

Where's my TED Talk? I was right about Sal Khan's book two years before Sal Khan who now recognizes that maybe the revolution has not arrived. Maybe he's not the Nostradamus of education and I am, instead. biblioracle.substack.com/p/an-unserio...
