All the talk about metamodernism and the next paradigm is mostly coming from the nordics and pockets in the developed world.

The Global South can't waste time and resources in developing through the same path Global North did.

Here's an idea: Tropical Metamodernism [let's 🧵]

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

NOTE ON RIO 3.5 OPEN

In recent days, Rio 3.5 Open has received far more attention than we anticipated. Along with it came analyses and, of course, criticisms and questions.

First, we want to clarify that the model is not foundational, trained from scratch, nor was it ever communicated as such. It is a post-training project built on open models, following classical approaches and some experiments. We started with open baseweights and applied various techniques, including merging, OPD, and finally used inference with SwiReasoning.

It was precisely thanks to the community's attention that we identified an operational error in the publication process. We ended up making available an intermediate checkpoint that had not yet completed all the final validation and optimization steps. This generated interpretations that, looking back now, we fully understand. The checkpoint has been removed. We tried to recover the final model, but it was not possible. It will only be released after the new training and all external validations are completed.

We also want to correct an important attribution point. Our team used public models provided by Alibaba, through Qwen 3.5, and by Nex-AGI, through Nex-N2 Pro, as a basis. In the initial documentation, we did not include Nex's important contribution. Correctly recognizing who builds these foundations is part of the open development process. Thank you, Nex, for your work and for contributing to advancing the state of the art in open models.

It is worth contextualizing that there was no official release of that version of the model. The project ended up gaining traction organically and unexpectedly while it was still undergoing independent validations. In any case, this shows that there is interest and that Brazil has more space in this conversation than we usually imagine. We hope to see more initiatives emerging in Latin America, India, Africa, and other places that seek to expand their technological sovereignty, especially at a time when Fable has been closed to the rest of the world and access to frontier models has become part of the global strategic debate.

Rio 3.5 Open is just the beginning. We will correct what is necessary, continue developing openly, and share what we learn along the way. Our goal is to show that the Brazilian public sector can also learn, build openly, and contribute to the forefront of current technological research.

Messias foi derrubada por Alcolumbre porque Lula se negou a intervir na Polícia Federal para blindar as roubalheiras de sua turma no escândalo do Master.

Hoje foi a vez de Ciro Nogueira rodar no novelo das mesadas distribuídas por Vorcaro. Agora vocês entendem por que o Flávio promete ao Centrao um governo cleptocrático como o da Alerj: roubalheira, compadrio, patrimonialismo, com STF e com tudo.

Se quiserem o Brasil governado como se tem governado o Rio de Janeiro, votem Flávio Bolsonaro. É o que o Centrão mais deseja para roubar em paz.

Vous voulez du grand n'importe quoi ? Israël kidnappe un Brésilien dans un acte de piraterie totalement illégal en haute mer, à 1000 km de Gaza, le torture en isolement, le juge dans un tribunal militaire d'occupation et tout le monde trouve ça normal ?

Tiago Avila a juste voulu briser le blocus. Et tout ce théâtre de justice pour ça.

Israël, le bandit de la planète. Sans foi, ni loi, ni honte. Une entité qui ne mérite plus qu'une chose : être démantelée. Et sa population, déradicalisée.

Netanyahu kidnapped a Brazilian in international waters off the cost of Greece and has now taken him in custody to Palestine, without any indication of crime or accusation. He's about to learn the mobilization power of Brazilians online.

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.

@garciacjao A América do Sul tem iniciativas arrojadas de integração da infraestrutura regional. Estude. A Europa tem toda uma governança comum sem precisar atacar a soberania alheia. Estamos em 2026, não há espaço para anexações e guerras. O mundo não é um tabuleiro de war.

📢 USP investe em primeira fábrica do Brasil capaz de produzir 60 milhões de chips

Principalmente durante a pandemia de covid-19 foi percebida a vulnerabilidade do setor e da dependência dos mercados asiáticos. Nesse contexto que surge o projeto Pocket-Fab desenvolvido pela Escola Politécnica da USP.

A proposta aposta em unidades compactas, com cerca de 150 metros quadrados, focadas em flexibilidade e fácil replicação. Diferente das tradicionais fábricas gigantescas e bilionárias, o modelo seria "portátil" e com capacidade de ser instalado em diversas regiões conforme a demanda.

Seu custo inicial seria de R$89 milhões com a capacidade de produção de até 60 milhões de chips anuais, contando com o apoio de instituições como a Fiesp e o Senai.

A iniciativa da universidade pode transformar a produção nacional, mirando tanto na autonomia quanto colocar o país no mapa dos semicondutores.

I Saved Injective's $500M. They Pay Me $50K.

I like hunting bugs on @immunefi . I'm decent at it.

- #1 — Attackathon | Stacks
- #2 — Attackathon | Stacks II
- #1 — Attackathon | XRPL Lending Protocol
- 1 Critical and 1 High from bug bounties (not counting this one)

Life was good. Then I found a Critical vulnerability in @injective .

This vulnerability allowed any user to directly drain any account on the chain. No special permissions needed. Over $500M in on-chain assets were at risk.

I reported it through Immunefi. The next day, a mainnet upgrade to fix the bug went to governance vote. The Injective team clearly understood the severity.

Then — silence. For 3 months. No follow up. No technical discussion. Nothing.

A few days ago, they notified me of their decision: $50K. The maximum payout for a Critical vulnerability in their bug bounty program is $500K. I disputed it. Silence again. No explanation for the reduced payout. No explanation for the 3 month ghost. No conversation at all. To be clear: the $50K has not been paid either.

I've seen others share bad experiences with bug bounty payouts recently. I never thought it would happen to me. I can't force them to do the right thing. But I won't let this be forgotten.

I will dedicate 10% of all my future bug bounty earnings to making sure this story stays visible — until Injective pays what I deserve.
