I treat my mind as a big great block. If something is disturbing me, I stop to put everything into place and move "all together" again. It works and I'm more productive this way.

I got nothing to hide. Or so the saying goes.

I think for the big apps like Whatsapp and Facebook it makes sense that the companies want to hide the features that give users control beyond the "standard" way of using the app in places where they cannot find it.

Fear of Small Numbers, by Arjun Appadurai

The phys.org article has absolutely no information. At least it links the worldscientific article.

Coming from my perspective a little. Iran is a part of BRICS now and Lula has defended Iran in latest interviews. Let's see how things develop and if Iran representatives will come to Rio (for the BRICS Summit). This is troubling.

Microsoft does research on cognitive decline in use of LLMs: "Nope."

Google does research on cognitive decline in use of LLMs: "Nope."

MIT does research on cognitive decline in use of LLMs: "Fine, I'll read your goddamn opinion on the matter."

Edited: The article is good, I recommend it. However, I find this "brain-only" approach to be too biased. Students and people in general cannot learn without external information. This approach assumes people have studied the topics beforehand and have knowledge in it, which causes biases on the study and beats the purpose of it, which is proving people do not learn using LLMs!

The article criticized the closing of the Internet by Tehran, but the Internet is clear vulnerability that can be exploited in times of war.

"you’re not really a man unless you hate women". This is so true. I wish I knew better why this rift between sexes is so useful in politics. When talking about sex, we have to seek what we have in common, not our differences. If sexual attraction was a problem for deep relationships, then gay men wouldn't always be together. This sexually divisive standard serves someone right. Women should look at this more carefully.

I know this isn't a popular opinion, but maybe the Executive has too much power. Power needs to be more decentralized. Will policies that make sense come out of this? I'm no political scientist, but this amount of power isn't good.

Don't make me believe this is the kind of talk that's going on Twitter.

I call that 'malint' (malicious intent)

Not that fine, though. Quality of life came a long way.

Copyleft foi um termo pensado por Richard Stallman para brincar com a ideia de copyright. São tipos de licenças, mas que são muitas vezes desrespeitadas. O ideal principal do copyleft é acabar com a propriedade intelectual.

As pessoas que estavam por trás da computação pessoal nos anos 70, que viam o potencial para o computador servir pessoas individuais ao invés de empresas e governos, ficaram chateadas quando as empresas começaram a colocar licenças nos programas de hardware que antes elas podiam alterar e moldar de acordo com a sua vontade. Foi daí que surgiu o copyleft. As empresas respeitam a GPL porque ela organizacionalmente funciona, não porque é repleta de proteção jurídica ou poder no lobbying.

Soon enough.

We come from the sea.

Copyleft tem tudo a ver com descentralização da informação e conhecimento. Pirataria não é só pegar as coisas de graça, mas também uma filosofia de descentralização do conhecimento. Espero que fique claro agora.

Data Annotation? That's not good work. I had better luck with Freelancer.com than with sending resumes. Plus ridiculous logic tests that take the knowledge of a linguist. I say Freelancer.com rather than Upwork because Freelancer.com is cheaper and you can shoot your bids away at more jobs.

Onboard the train to dystopia.

Google destroyed the opposition when building a search engine tool, this is nothing like the case with Google. Many websites generate robots.txt and other Terms of Service that are impossible for common people to follow these days. It's very hard to scrape, serve and be compliant at the same time. And as small fish you have to. Search engine maintenance occupies too much space and serving the pages with quality requires quick database management tools.

This gap might be closed by AI, but not before it. Even though true alternatives like GigaBlast existed.

The current LLM status has a vibrant open-weights scenario, which is centered on HuggingFace but it's the code away from being served in other places. AI uses datasets/corpus of texts, which can be shared by Universities/Institutions around the world, as they are currently.

LLM/AI is at arms reach from the people, no matter how much money Big Tech puts on Datacenters. The scary part is what Google always used to do best, lobbying for monopolization. Aside from that, we're safe.
