“It’s a severe cautionary tale about the hazards of privatisation. The government created these men, especially Elon Musk. And now these welfare kings want to pull up the ladder, want to destroy the very system that made them." www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

‘If we don’t fight back, we don’t have a future’: the journalist taking on the ‘tech fascists’ of Silicon Valley

Não interessa mais pro Centrão, hoje, com pleno controle das verbas, mesmo sem participação direta na administração pública, se coligar mais com qualquer candidato ao Executivo Federal. Não é nem que qualquer governo vai depender deles. É que a chave do cofre está em formar bancada legislativa

Com a previsão de que o aquecimento global vai ultrapassar o limite crítico de 1,5°C, os cientistas alertam que o mundo está chegando a pontos de não retorno que levariam a uma série de consequências irreversíveis. Fred Pearce analisa algumas delas em seu artigo. Leia 👇 www.ufrgs.br/carbono/2026...

Fred Pearce: "A ciência tem se articulado para sugerir que dificilmente poderíamos reverter os impactos causados pela iminente superação do limite de 1,5°C. Mesmo assim, é esta a realidade que parece nos esperar. Então, como poderíamos retirar o carbono da atmosfera para termos as “emissões negativas” que permitiriam que as temperaturas voltem ao normal e, no melhor dos casos, que o sistema climático se estabilize de novo?".

I reviewed Julia Alekseyeva's book on film, revolution, and molecular antifascism for the Historical Materialism website. Seriously great book.

There was a time when the works of Agnes Varda, Chris Marker, and Matsumoto Toshio were lauded as innovative and revelatory well outside the ranks of film school aesthetes and underground video stores...

Destroying books in order to feed them into slop machines is still plagiarism, whatever corrupt/incompetent judges might say. And when they are destroying rare books, they are destroying human knowledge. We know that "AI" products aren't repositories of information, much less intelligent. 1/

Dr. Jeroen W.P. Wijnendaele@drdragases.bsky.social · last wk.

No longer content with pillaging intellectual work and dismembering our environment (already critically weakened), AI companies are now hellbent on destroying books galore including rare editions. Shut down these nefarious enterprises already.
