This bothers me sometimes: what, in our zeitgeist, accounts for people's lack of care about data privacy?
Whatever it is, it seems immune to knowledge.
People can learn it's about power, or the role of their data in business models, and still refuse to make any privacy-increasing move.

My take on the main lesson from the point of view of #AIEthics regarding DeepSeek: if we had imposed constraints for ethical reasons on American and European models, maybe we would've gotten to a more effective model before a Chinese company. A short thread 1/ 👇

The more I use social networks, the more I miss good old mail lists.
No bigtech-dependence and heavily moderated even on broad topics (no one took that as threat to freedom of speech).
Saying dumb stuff was socially costly. As a result, most would think twice and do their homework before writing.

I don’t know how much engagement I will have here, but I’d like to invite everyone to our next online debate next week, where we will talk about situated neural representations with @gualtiero.bsky.social and @marcofacchin.bsky.social It’s going to be great!

Fiz uma apresentação no evento nacional da Intercom. Tenho me preocupado com os impactos das IAs sobre a pesquisa acadêmica.
Meus argumentos: há pouca pesquisa no Brasil sobre isso. Há necessidade de suveys e pesquisa quali a respeito.
Faltam diretrizes. Não estamos discutindo o elefante na sala

Pra quem ainda não pegou o esquema de "verificação" aqui do Bsky.
Quem tem um endereço/site (como o projeto7c0.com.br) consegue usar ele para validar seu perfil, assim fica claro que eu sou o Lucas que mantém esse domínio.
E o mais legal que organizações podem validar domínios para funcionários.

Ótima ideia.
Outra ferramenta do BlueSky é o “Detach Quote”.
O que significa: se alguém compartilha uma postagem sua com um comentário que te desqualifica, com ódio ou desinformação, você pode apagar a sua postagem do perfil que compartilhou.
Aí, a mensagem do agressor fica sem sentido.
Bom, né?
