I have recently been made painfully aware of how small is the lifespan of an #USB #stick. Have been thinking about it since (and, in particular, how bad an investment is a big-storage thumb drive, taking that into account)... and also about how much worse does this make me feel about the new tendency of having movies and music being sold in USB sticks instead of the 'old physical formats' (yes DVDs and CDs don't have a great lifespan either, but in comparison...)

#musiquinta "Música feita por pessoas negras", e primeiro pcorrem-me umas quantas opções de Jazz, e lego a seguir noto que são raros os músicos negros que tenho na minha coleção se não contar com Jazz ou Blues (que não é, de todo, o tipo de música que mais ouço). Então é bem propositado decidir destacar essas "excepções" (e se calhar inspirar-me na hashtag para alargar os meus horizontes...)

Então quem vos trago aqui hoje é o Maxim dos The Prodigy, que não só tem dado voz como escreveu várias das músicas... incluindo a que escolho hoje: Poison.

@movq Ah, I see.
[47°09′56″S, 126°43′59″W] Dosimeter still failing
@movq using gopher also limits tenth fold the amount of bystanders you will get. I think a *finger* .plan would probably have a bigger audience. :-D :-P
And, one last missed:

* AI is Forcing Legal Modernization: The copyright double standard is a failure of outdated law. AI provides the necessary impetus for legal reform to either create fair compensation frameworks for creators or establish a clear new definition of fair use for data-driven models.*
@movq Gemini liked your opinion very much. Here is how it countered:

### 1. The User Perspective (Untrustworthiness)

The criticism of AI as untrustworthy is a problem of misapplication, not capability.

* AI as a Force Multiplier: AI should be treated as a high-speed drafting and brainstorming tool, not an authority. For experts, it offers an immense speed gain, shifting the work from slow manual creation to fast critical editing and verification.
* The Rise of AI Literacy: Users must develop a new skill—**AI literacy—to critically evaluate and verify AI's probabilistic output. This skill, along with improving citation features in AI tools, mitigates the "gaslighting" effect.

### 2. The Moral/Political Perspective (Skill Erosion)

The fear of skill loss is based on a misunderstanding of how technology changes the nature of work; it's
skill evolution, not erosion.

*
Shifting Focus to High-Level Skills: Just as the calculator shifted focus from manual math to complex problem-solving, AI shifts the focus from writing boilerplate code to architectural design and prompt engineering. It handles repetitive tasks, freeing humans for creative and complex challenges.
*
Accessibility and Empowerment: AI serves as a powerful democratizing tool, offering personalized tutoring and automation to people who lack deep expertise. While dependency is a risk, this accessibility empowers a wider segment of the population previously limited by skill barriers.

### 3. The Technical and Legal Perspective (Scraping and Copyright)

The legal and technical flaws are issues of governance and ethical practice, not reasons to reject the core technology.

*
Need for Better Bot Governance: Destructive scraping is a failure of ethical web behavior and can be solved with better bot identification, rate limits, and protocols (like enhanced robots.txt). The solution is to demand digital citizenship from AI companies, not to stop AI development.*

Words fail sometimes, but I think this graphic summarizes well the situation and my current mood.

#ClimateCrisis #EmissionsGapReport ![A graphic showing the likelihood of us achieving one of three goals (below 3°C, below 2°C and below 1.5°C). Those are measured against four scenarios: current policies (assuming they are timely implemented), up to Conditional NDCs + all net-zero pledges. Changes of staying on the (needed) below 1.5 target go from 0% (current policies) to 21% (all on board). With current policies (if we start actually implementing it!) there's a 20% chance we won't even manage to stay below 3°C.](https://media.ciberlandia.pt/ciberlandia-media/media_attachments/files/115/493/939/403/493/424/original/873dc98a49badaf9.jpg)
