if you want a picture of the future, imagine your own face staring back at you from the chumbox, forever nymag.com/intelligence...

One of those constraints will probably go away as AI models become more efficient. The other is a matter of expectations and norms around privacy, which, if the last two decades are any guide, have a tendency to either erode or get bulldozed. Given the hunger for return on AI investment and the close relationship between the advertising industry and AI - Google and Meta, for example, are advertising and AI giants, and it's hard to imagine the latter holding out too long on a new technology that might improve ad performance — it's probably a matter of time before someone breaks the seal and starts using customers to market to themselves at scale. Small companies are already trying something weird and uncomfortable. The bigger ones probably aren't far behind.

"Meu pai diz que, quando crescermos, tudo vai ser feito por máquinas. Ele diz que os únicos empregos disponíveis serão em ferro-velhos, consertando máquinas quebradas. A única coisa que uma máquina não consegue fazer é contar piadas. É só pra isso que vão usar as pessoas — pra piadas"

trecho em ingles do conto 'secret integration' do thomas pynchon

"My father says everything's going to be machines when we grow up. He says the only jobs open will be in junkyards for busted machines. The only thing a machine can't do is play jokes. That's all they'll use people for, is jokes."

Whether it's young Democrats expressing their support for DEI or young Republicans saying "I love Hitler,' both sides have expressed controversial opinions.

meio cínico da minha parte mas eu tenho a impressão de que esse tipo de matéria tem um efeito inexistente nessa altura do campeonato pelo motivo simples de que todo mundo que já não sabia que essas pessoas acreditam nessas coisas acha bom que elas acreditem nessas coisas

a literatura brasileira contemporânea está num ciclo perpétuo de pastiches horripilantes de grandes autores do modernismo e 90% da crítica e da mídia e dos leitores está numa situação de the emperor has no clothes com isso

Acorda amor, os Cadernos do Cárcere do George Santos acabaram de sair

onion person @junlper.beer · 3d

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

Twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, I paced in circles like a restless ghost.
The windows were frosted, allowing only a faint suggestion of daylight and nightfall, enough to remind me that time was passing, though I had little sense of how.
The shower water was always cold, and my only amenities were the steel toilet and sink fused together in the corner. It was a miserable existence. Yet, as I soon learned, misery can always be deepened
On September 7th, the warden's office saw fit to move me into something far worse, an even smaller cell, no more than seven by nine feet, coated in filth, reeking of neglect, and utterly devoid of natural light or ventilation.
In that suffocating shoebox, there is no room to walk, no hint of the sun, no trace of humanity. The silence is crushing.
The air feels stale. The walls themselves seem to close in. I keep asking myself: will this barbaric confinement ever end? Is this legal under our Constitution, or have I simply been erased from the protections of due process?
Most haunting of all, will I survive it? With no access to my family, no calls, no emails, and with letters that may never leave this building, I live in total darkness, cut off from the world I once fought to serve.
Let me be blunt: I find Warden Kelly's so-called "protection" not only unpalatable, but cruel and unjustifiable. My time here has opened my eyes to a truth far too many ignore: America desperately needs prison reform.
