Congratulations, António José Seguro, on your election as President of Portugal.
The Portuguese citizens have spoken and, in the face of devastation caused by the storms, demonstrated remarkable democratic resilience.
Portugal’s voice for our shared European values remains strong.

Albas are my favourite galaico-português poems. This is a study in mastery, feelings and thoughts shown through things, places, visible reactions. Perfect. trovadorismomedievalufjf2017.blogspot.com/2017/04/cant...

And a lot of current thought is on the advantages and disadvantages for the individual, neglecting a sociocultural aspect and all the work humans do by unmediated & mediated socialisation: updating ethical values, for example.

Grok undresses women. Men undress women with Grok. If we take the animism one + step bckwrd, LLMs steal & ingest to learn. We’re predatorial. Or cannibalistic. To undress women. How did WS Burroughs say it? We’re eating quality & shitting quantity. Every tech breakthru a tool for porn.

From “not a citizen by birth” to “not a citizen by values” is a quick ideological hop, fellas. Don’t trust me? Check the history of authoritarian states. Tick-tack, America.

I’ve been working in digital learning for close to 15 years. I think I’ve read something like this every 3 or 4 years. Shame. There are much needed changes to blended approaches. But nothing like this.
