  1. Para não se render à cibermediocridade

    Modelos de linguagem geram uma prosa de aparência e fluência impecáveis, assim toda máquina parece um especialista. O perigo não está em utilizar tais tecnologias, mas em não submetê-las ao escrutínio. Publicar sem examinar é abdicar da crítica e da responsabilidade

  2. “Can you find food for us?” she asked, rather vaguely and timidly.

    “Hunting takes time, and weapons.”

    “I meant, with, you know, spells.”

    “I can call a rabbit,” he said, poking the fire with a twisted stick of juniper. “The rabbits are coming out of their holes all around us, now. Evening’s their time. I could call one by name, and he’d come. But would you catch and skin and broil a rabbit that you’d called to you thus? Perhaps if you were starving. But it would be a breaking of trust, I think.”

    “Yes. I thought, perhaps you could just…”

    “Summon up a supper,” he said. “Oh, I could. On golden plates, if you like. But that’s illusion, and when you eat illusions you end up hungrier than before.”

  4. Les artistes médiocres. fauxFeatfilsdebulle

    Aucun Fils de Bulle n'a été mal traité lors du tournage de cette vidéo. FLAKETTE N'EST PAS UN EXEMPLE ! Des propos tenus qui vous déplaisent ne sont pas une raison pour n'importe quelle forme de violence. Encore plus quand la personne reconnait son erreur. Donc merci d'avance de ne pas harceler le Fils de Bulle.

  9. Leslie "The Weasel" Benzies quits after realising he couldn't pull a good game from his ass by ego alone.

    Sad by the devs who had to put out with the leadership. Hope they're already working somewhere else than that doomed studio.

  11. Ah yes, Tim Chambers, the #Nostradamus of the Open Social Web, graces us with yet another set of tepid #predictions that even a sentient toaster could muster. 🔮📈 How generous of him to "shine a spotlight" on #trends that everyone with a pulse already sees coming. 😂 Let's all meditate on his "quantifiable" prophecies and pretend we're impressed. 🙄

  13. 2017 - Microsoft knows about #Starfield
    2018 - Sony negotiates exclusivity for #PlayStation5
    2020 - Microsoft buys Bethesda to avoid that.
    2026 - Starfield releases on PlayStation 5 anyway.

    So much ado for nothing.

  19. Because you can’t opt out of the system, but you can refuse to perform your role in maintaining it.

    Discomfort is not harm.

    Awareness is not absolution.

    Action, consistent, accountable, antiracist action, is the only path to integrity.

  25. The problem isn’t that DHH finally said the quiet part out loud.

    The problem is that you’re still pretending it’s shocking, still refusing to connect the dots, and still showing the world that whiteness matters more to you than justice.

  26. But here’s the truth, our work has always been about liberation, not saving whiteness from itself.

    Our survival is not your safety net.

    And our rest is resistance…because without it, there is no future beyond the myth of white supremacy.

  27. You show us that your loyalty is still to whiteness…not justice.

    If you want to prove otherwise, do the work. Hold your people accountable. Stop expecting the harmed to extend trust and kindness where none has been earned.

    Because until then, no one insisting otherwise can be trusted.
