SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Meu problema é com o que eles fazem (golpe e desvio de verba). O que deixam de fazer... sinceramente, não vejo nenhuma ameaça militar pro Brasil meio século à frente. A única possível, a dos EUA, é uma que dá pra saber
que seria auxiliada, não atrapalhada, pelos milicos.

(O engraçado é que a única ameaça bélica que faria sentido enfrentar com dissuasão nuclear é a de um país que o Kataguiri provavelmente acha ótimo que mande aqui)

Olha, acho que seria até interessante ver como ficaria a trilha jurídica até a derrubada dessa emenda. Acho difícil arguir como cláusula pétrea a 21, que já foi pra lá de editada. Ou que o Brasil não tem direito de se retirar do NPT. Mas não tenho dúvida de que seria derrubada, sim.

Replit, a vibe coding startup, pushed a new product called "agent 3" that appears to be completely broken other than in its ability to burn tons of money

Fear of Agent 3
Question / Discussion
Join
Hi all, I would like to share my experience so far.
Ever since Agent 3 was released, l've been stuck in a nightmare with my app.
I've already spent around $300 and lost an entire weekend completely isolated, trying to fix issues that Agent 3 keeps making worse. My app is live, with about 250 users, and right now it's broken. Users are complaining, and I feel powerless.
Every time I run Agent 3, it feels like pulling the lever of a slot machine. Sometimes it runs for an hour and produces nothing. Sometimes it introduces new bugs. Most of the time, it doesn't solve the problem. I've ended up spending money just to watch things break even further.
I'm mentally exhausted. I wasted a whole weekend like this, and I can't see a way forward. With Agent 2 l had something that worked, but now everything seems fragile and unreliable.
If there were even one way to get out of this at a reasonable cost, I would take it immediately. But everything is tied up on Replit like database, server, user base etc.. I wouldn't even know where to move, and I can't deliver the same experience elsewhere.
Right now, I feel destroyed and broken.
Please, if anyone has advice or a solution, I'd be deeply grateful.
D

23-year-old journalist Plestia Alaqad, like many Gazans, lost her home in the first days after October 7. unable to reenter her homeland, stuck watching the horror continue, she’s publishing her diaries from reporting on the ground.

full interview @teenvogue.com www.teenvogue.com/story/plesti...

Pic of Plestia Alaqad overlaid with text from interview: Plestia Alaqad: I can't believe that it's almost — [she pauses] no, it's not almost, it's actually two years. Okay, I can't believe that it's been two years of this ongoing genocide. When I was reporting in Gaza for 45 days, these 45 days felt like 45 years. And now it's 200 days feeling like 200 years for the people who are actually still on the ground facing bombing, displacement and starvation, which is being used as a method by Israel. Israel is literally ethnically cleansing people in Gaza, and we're watching a genocide unfold live on TV.

O google pelo menos demorou uns anos até fazer o 180º de "do no evil." O Bluesky pelo visto já fazia todas as merdas desde o começo, apesar do discurso que atraiu esquerdista incauto. (Que os ancapinhos da empresa agora querem mandar embora, porque acham que já têm produto pra atrair gente "normal")

What’s up with this… Is 1) The Hive really being used, and 2) using images here for generative AI? Pretty bad look if true

To anyone thinking about joining BlueSky, especially artists: everything you post is used to train generative Al models.
BlueSky uses Al to label content for moderation, and to do that they use a company called https://t hehive.ai/. If you look through their privacy policy, you will see that they all content sent to them to train models for all their services, which include generative Al for both text and images.
It's a built in «feature" and cannot be turned off.

Never before have our society’s most powerful players assumed that the primary impact of their own conquests would be to render the world itself unliveable for everyone else. Nor have they ever before had the technologies through which to programme their sensibilities into the very fabric of our society. The landscape is alive with algorithms and intelligences actively encouraging these selfish and isolationist outlooks. Those sociopathic enough to embrace them are rewarded with cash and control over the rest of us. It’s a self-reinforcing feedback loop. This is new.

Amplified by digital technologies and the unprecedented wealth disparity they afford, The Mindset allows for the easy externalisation of harm to others, and inspires a corresponding longing for transcendence and separation from the people and places that have been abused.

Instead of just lording over us for ever, however, the billionaires at the top of these virtual pyramids actively seek the endgame. In fact, like the plot of a Marvel blockbuster, the very structure of The Mindset requires an endgame. Everything must resolve to a one or a zero, a winner or loser, the saved or the damned. Actual, imminent catastrophes from the climate emergency to mass migrations support the mythology, offering these would-be superheroes the opportunity to play out the finale in their own lifetimes. For The Mindset also includes a faith-based Silicon Valley certainty that they can develop a technology that will somehow break the laws of physics, economics and morality to offer them something even better than a way of saving the world: a means of escape from the apocalypse of their own making.

A liberdade de escolher é, sem dúvida, o maior presente que o capitalismo nos deu (feat. IA)

Captura de tela de um aplicativo de delivery mostrando quatro confeitarias diferentes, todas oferecendo exatamente os mesmos quatro tipos de bolos (cenoura com ganache, pote de chocolate com Ninho e Nutella, chocolate com ganache e misto de cenoura com chocolate), com fotos idênticas, preços muito parecidos e descontos semelhantes. A aparência de diversidade esconde uma oferta padronizada.

Oregon Republicans know they can't use an image of the actual (small, tame) protest in Portland to illustrate Trump's fever dream and their fake intel, so they had to make one from stock photos of South American "Policia" leaning on riot shields + what looks like Brazilian football fans with flares
