"I had placed five cotton threads around Karen Dor's dress which were handled by five men placed off-camera. As she collapsed, the men pulled the threads & her dress unfolded like a flower blooming.... Although it was a death, I wanted it to be beautiful."
— Alfred Hitchcock
To be clear, this isn’t a story of Alec Guinness being homophobic. Alec Guinness was bisexual and was arrested for cruising when he was younger. This is a very sad story of how queer people had to hide themselves and assimilate into a deeply homophobic industry.
Many of the “AI” interventions mentioned here are the equivalent of paying for a gym that has machines that lift weights for you. I don’t mean it’s sort of like that, I mean, in educational contexts, it’s the exact same logic. It’s absurd in its face. I feel like I’m going insane
Quando a simulação se torna regra, a capacidade humana de discernimento atrofia-se e os nossos laços sociais fecham-se em circuitos autorreferenciais que já não nos expõem ao real. Vivemos, então, como se estivéssemos dentro de bolhas impermeáveis umas às outras, sentimo-nos ameaçados por quem é diferente e perdemos o hábito do encontro e do diálogo. Assim, proliferam a polarização, os conflitos, os medos e a violência. Não está em causa um simples perigo de errar, mas a transformação da própria relação com a verdade.
Os sistemas de #InteligênciaArtificial moldam cada vez mais profundamente os nossos ambientes mentais e sociais. Tal como qualquer grande transformação histórica, também esta requer não só competências técnicas, mas uma formação humanística capaz de tornar visíveis as lógicas económicas, os preconceitos incorporados e as formas de poder que influenciam a perceção do real.

Ten immediate replies: "Well said. Brownies combine eggs, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder in a way that quietly elevates the culture. They're not just a snack, they're a vibe."
Influential people are praising AI as a wonderful tool we should all embrace. On Facebook I have been to the hospital, the World Cup, cussed out Whoopi Goldberg, and I have a Netflix documentary. Wonderful, sure.
