Santa Catarina alega ser o estado mais branco do Brasil para justificar ao STF lei contra cotas raciais
A Procuradoria Geral do Estado de Santa Catarina (PGE-SC) apresentou, nesta quinta-feira, as explicações solicitadas pelo Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF) sobre a sanção da lei que proíbe universidades estaduais de adotarem ações afirmativas raciais. Entre as justificativas apresentadas no documento expedido pelo governo de Jorginho Mello (PL) está a afirmação de que o território catarinense é o mais branco do país, o que não está em conformidade com o último Censo do Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Na última terça-feira, o STF determinou que o governo de Santa Catarina deveria apresentar explicações sobre a lei sancionada pelo governador Jorginho Mello em 22 de janeiro. O ministro Gilmar Mendes é o relator da Ação Direta Inconstitucionalidade (ADI) protocolada pelo PSOL em conjunto com a União Nacional dos Estudantes (UNE) e a ONG Educafro. Ainda no mesmo dia, o Tribunal de Justiça de Santa Catarina (TJ-SC) suspendeu a lei em caráter liminar. Em trecho da elucidação enviada ao ministro, a PGE-SC afirma que "Santa Catarina ostenta a maior proporção de população branca do país, atingindo o patamar de 81,5% dos habitantes. Segundo dados do IBGE coligidos em 2021, a população preta e parda no Estado representa 18,1% do total, índice significativamente inferior à média nacional de 56,1%". O dado informado pelo governo catarinense diverge com o do último Censo do IBGE, de 2022. De acordo com a pesquisa, o Rio Grande do Sul é a unidade federativa mais branca do Brasil, com os declarados brancos chegando a 78% de sua população. Já Santa Catarina tem 76% dos seus habitantes brancos, cinco pontos percentuais a menos do que o informado pela Procuradoria. A PGE prossegue com dados sobre a renda de brancos e negros no estado. "Conforme aponta a análise técnica do cenário catarinense, as disparidades de rendimento, embora existentes, apresentam a quinta menor diferença percentual do país. Nesse contexto, segundo as pesquisas oficiais de 2021, a renda média mensal do trabalhador branco em Santa Catarina é de R$ 2.778,00, enquanto a de pretos ou pardos situa-se em R$ 2.084,00". A Procuradoria também classifica o sistema de cotas raciais como uma política pública que parte de uma "premissa fundamentalmente equivocada". A PGE-SC diz, ainda, que "a Constituição da República não prevê a obrigatoriedade de criação de políticas afirmativas específicas, contendo a raça, etnia, gênero ou orientação sexual como parâmetros fundamentais ou cláusulas pétreas".

Current LLMs were created by people who don’t value loving, caring, & equal relationships. They are misogynistic & eugenicist totalitarians with no regard for the creative endeavours of others, or for the human good. Those values are built into their LLMs, perpetuating them is what the LLMs are for.
For people saying 'AI would be great, if it weren't for the arseholes in charge of it', I don't think you quite get the point. AI *in its current form* exists only because of the arseholes and their nature. They own it and control it. They don't give a toss about morals or ethics.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers.

Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024.

And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary.

The system is rigged.

A extrema-direita MENTE. Ela fala à emoção de humilhados pelo capitalismo para OFUSCAR a real natureza dessa humilhação, oferecendo bodes expiatórios para alimentar ressentimentos: a culpa do seu fracasso é das feministas, dos cotistas, de quem recebe bolsa família, dos imigrantes, dos "comunistas".
"A extrema-direita vence porque fala à ferida, não à razão. As forças democráticas continuam a falar de reformas, dados, programas e indicadores. A extrema-direita fala de honra, humilhação, traição e orgulho. Fala daquilo que as pessoas sentem quando ninguém as vê."
Geografia simbólica
Para alguns dos portugueses que emigraram, o voto na extrema-direita não é uma convicção ideológica articulada, mas uma resposta talvez tardia a um país que lhes falhou.

Para além dos muitos equívocos, pra mim vale sempre a cautela:

Uma esquerda que flerta com a direita antes mesmo de chegar ao poder é um perigo.

Inclusive para a própria esquerda.

Mas insisti, li o restante e... não melhora (não vou linkar, tá passando toda hora na timelaje)

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

I do not really regard forcing kids to get their education from the equivalent of an Amazon chatbot as a win for social justice.
We want to make sure tutoring isn't the preserve of a lucky few, but accessible to every child who needs it.

AI can help us do that.

Safe, personalised, one-to-one learning support to help every child achieve and thrive.

Of the biggest scandals in US history just this week, I think I’d rank them:

1) Federal paramilitaries invade US city based on racist lies, murder US citizens

2) Slush fund for the president from stolen foreign resources held in Qatar

3) Whatever FBI and DNI are doing re: 2020 election in Georgia

Considering Greenland & ICE raids, here's what I said 6yrs ago would be the key features of right wing politics in a warming world:
- "Virulently anti-immigrant"
- “Focused on controlling scarce global natural resources”
- “Justified with neo-eugenicist rhetoric”
