Eu fui uma vez pedir chá numa casa de chá na China e ninguém me entendeu mesmo falando tchá no tom certo (tentei nos 4 tons mas a pessoa só me entendeu quando eu apontei)

Sora is a paper machete. It is low-quality, impossible to make consistent or reliable, while also being incredibly expensive to run. Every single “good” video you’ve seen is cherrypicked from dozens of terrible ones to make you feel scared that this can create entire movies’ worth of content.

Curious to hear your perspective on Sora. It seems to be the only real (and terrifying) AI product to hit the market lately. How much mileage are they going to get out of this thing that needs to be regulated out of existence?

I realize how scary it must be, but remember: Sora 1 has been out for over a year, so has Runway, so has Pika, and so has Veo. They want you to be scared, but they are currently blowing tens or hundreds of millions of dollars shitting out content that will only be useful as “Exhibit A.”

it's 30 years later and this still happens.

Jenna Ortega revealed in an interview with The New York Times that she quit Twitter after seeing explicit images of herself generated by Al when she was a teenager. She also became inundated with messages from fans that ranged from "disgusting" to "absurd."
"I hate AI," Ortega said. "I mean, here's the thing: AI could be used for incredible things. I think I saw something the other day where they were saying that artificial intelligence was able to detect breast cancer four years before it progressed. That's beautiful. Let's keep it to that. Did I like being 14 and making a Twitter account because I was supposed to and seeing dirty edited content of me as a child? No. It's terrifying. It's corrupt. It's wrong."

🆘🆘🆘 será que minha obsessão com máquinas de escrever e sistemas de escrita na era digital pro mandarim vieram de algum trauma escondido desse filme?

The only thing I can remember about that film:

Sequence of screengrabs showing Brosnan's Bond confused by a "Chinese keyboard," which is red with a basic character on each key.

(No.)

Gato voltou da internação e se escondeu embaixo da cama, no forro, aí eu fiquei 10min chorando de forma dramática no chão do lado da cama chamando ele e ele saiu (não pra me consolar, mas pra mudar de cômodo porque não aguentava mais a falta de sossego)

Eu acredito com muita firmeza e já falei por aí que eu acho que só quem vai conseguir frear a IA loucamente é a galera da economia criativa/cultura

Ing Lee @inglee.bsky.social · 1d

na União Europeia e Reino Unido é algo que está sendo amplamente discutido em diversos setores criativos, inclusive figurões importantes da música se manifestando e angariando apoio popular. até porque eles entendem muito bem que cultura é poder

when analysts of US-China relations talk about "Europe", the mythical other.
out of 44 countries in Europe I can think of one or two that are "tidy and orderly and really clean"
and Japan & Europe as lacking dynamism?
two paragraphs in and I'm done
foreignpolicy.com/2025/08/25/u...

The simplest way to appreciate the similarities between Chinese and Americans is to compare China and the U.S. to Europe and Japan. Europe and Japan are more similar. They’re both perfectionists. They are much more tidy and orderly. Everything is really clean. And yet they are not exemplars of dynamism. They’re focused on improving their processes rather than inventing new processes. And this is why I think the future will still be invented by Wall Street and Silicon Valley, and by Beijing and Shenzhen, which will dictate what most people in the world will think and will buy.

Um repórter tropeçou numa base de dados de uma empresa de tecnologias de vigilância com centenas de números de telefone. Eram os alvos monitorados, com informações detalhadas sobre seus movimentos. Dentre os números, eles encontraram jornalistas, políticos, ativistas e celebridades:

The surveillance empire that tracked world leaders, a Vatican enemy, and maybe you

Every shoebox of photos and stack of letters holds a fragment of history. Wikimedistas de Bolivia digitizes family-held archives to preserve cultural memory, especially works by artists, musicians, and writers. 🧵⬇️ (1/2)

A young man looks at the camera next to a humorous sketch of a figure. Text says: How families are helping Wikimedistas de Bolivia save history. These Bolivian family photos and letters aren't just personal treasures. They are also pieces of history. When digitized and shared, they help build a richer record of our world.
