O Brasil é ambiente propício pra IA nadar de braçada pq essas ferramentas mexem com uma força motriz do brasileiro: elas passam a impressão pro usuário de que eles são mais espertos do que quem não está usando
sim. Tenho colegas no trabalho q usam pra fazer a transmissão do residente, q nada mais é do q max 3 linhas pra cada pessoa qdo td vai bem. Eu fico escandalizada pq a pessoa demora + tempo pra entrar as infos no GPT do q se escrevesse ela msm diretamente
Deixa eu contar pra vocês que fora da minha bolha na internet e do mundinho bsky, as pessoas estão BEM compradas pela IA hein. É gente que conversa com chatgpt chamando de “querida”, é gente que vê como indispensável no trabalho, são pessoas convencidas de q não é uma bolha q vá estourar

i am a workflow enjoyer and i'm addicted to astrophotography's various workflows, all of which run through a half dozen niche freeware programs i've never heard of before
![OP's explanation of his workflow, as follows:
–]Pelo_Telescopio[S] 3 points 14 hours ago
Like this. The planetary camera makes a film. In this case, there were 20 seconds of footage generating 475 frames using SharpCapture software. A processing program (autostakker), through a stack algorithm, aligns the 25% best frames to generate a single image. It then goes through another program (IMPPG) that performs deconvolution (recovers part of the signal lost in the image compression process). And finally the post processing in the Affinity software. Where fine details are improved and color is added. It takes a little work at first but once you get the hang of it it gets easier. All are free software.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3vyl2i7k2fuk7lbnmlxh3vof/bafkreiht2qazux4gnuhvxw7qngt4jcxgknuloquoitdyezwhjbf4pbdwjm@jpeg)

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

I’m gonna be honest @jay.bsky.team, banning a side account that I made after this one was suspended due to me being scared for my husband who was kidnapped by ICE and having a dev meme on this is insane PR for any site.
By that I mean BAD PR.
I’m simply asking for an apology. That’s it.

Gen Z are going retro, with studies showing a resurgence in people buying tech in the modern age that can be dated back decades.

I think Tarantino can be an interesting filmmaker, but I've wanted him to shut up with his "master of all cinema history" bullshit for years. It delights me that going after Matthew Lillard is what finally got movie fans to collectively tell him to fuck off.
Matthew Lillard reacts to Quentin Tarantino's comments about him
"Quentin Tarantino says he doesn't like me as an actor ... it hurts your feelings, it fucking sucks, and he wouldn't say that to Tom Cruise ... or a top-line actor ... It's humbling, and it hurts"

I know the branding reasons why, but it's still deeply awkward that GLASS ONION and WAKE UP DEAD MAN have the subtitle "A Knives Out Mystery" rather than "A Benoit Blanc Mystery"
It's like if TEMPLE OF DOOM was "A Raiders of the Lost Ark Adventure."
