Uma decisão extremamente importante. As práticas antic-competitivas do Google são bastante problemáticas e é bom ver como as punições têm avançado, mesmo que lentamente. Discuti várias delas no meu doutorado que depois virou o livro "das plataformas online aos monopólios digitais".

What does OpenAI and Sam Altman's "Gentle Singularity" look like in practice? Great rundown from @bcmerchant.bsky.social:
• Fund raising from Saudi Arabia and UAE
• Major partnerships with US military
• Working with fossil fuel companies to hyperscale AI www.bloodinthemachine.com/p/this-is-th...
This is the gentle singularity?
Sam Altman says the AI utopia is already here — in a manifesto aimed at raising money from the Saudis. On the real vs imagined manifestations of modern AI.

Fantastic news from the International Labour Organization (ILO).

The agreement on June 13, 2025, by the International Labour Organization (ILO) to develop binding global standards on decent work in the “platform economy,” or gig work, is a positive breakthrough.

🏹 SENADO CONTRA INDÍGENAS

O Senado aprovou um projeto que suspende três decretos de Lula que homologavam terras indígenas em SC. A decisão ainda segue para a Câmara, mas já gerou forte reação de indígenas e juristas que defendem os direitos constitucionais dos povos originários.

Do you use GenAI to summarise research pieces?

So it is worth seeing this vital paper. LLMs are up to 5 times less accurate in summarising scientific research than human reviews.

I am thrilled to share the new Fairwork Cloudwork report I led. We assessed 16 online remote work platforms globally against five principles of fair work. Come and see who performed best and who is failing workers.
The Fairwork Cloudwork Ratings 2025 are live!
We’ve rated 16 platforms on fairness across pay, conditions, contracts, management, and representation.

Betar would have the US deport Mosab Abu Toha, who just won the Pulitzer Prize, for his speech defending the freedom and life of his own people - and chronicling Israel’s destruction of Gaza. He has had to retreat from public life for his own safety. This is Trump’s US.
