David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

🎙🗨 Lula: "Então eles acham que ontem eles voltaram a derrotar o governo. Não derrotaram o governo, derrotaram o povo brasileiro. Derrotaram a possibilidade de melhorar a qualidade de vida do povo brasileiro, tirando mais dinheiro dos ricos e distribuindo para os pobres."

It would be easy to reposition this headline as 'Billionaire author vows to keep interfering with Scottish democracy', which doesn't look too pretty.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I’m not talking about the “AI “actress”” thing because it is so clearly an astroturfed non-story which only benefits from people taking it seriously, even as outrage / distaste. It does not exist. It *will* not exist, at least as executed by these people. I refuse to fall for it.

Eu fui ler o contexto dessa citação. A EW tem sido bastante vocal em se opor aos posicionamentos da JK então ela me despertou bastante desconfiança. E como eu esperava, sim ela foi extraída de má fé. A Emma Watson está falando sobre como a JK não deu a ela uma chance pra uma conversa.

It's not really just an opinion, though, is it

Quer dizer que a IA do governo americano espelha um posicionamento do próprio governo e isso se assemelha muito com censura? Poxa vida, JAMAIS foi dito nada sobre o uso de big data como ferramenta ideológica, né.
