"DEFIANCE"

bicho, gringo acha que o mundo inteiro vive em função deles, né? o Brasil tava "desafiando" os EUA ao julgar um ex-presidente, em cumprimento das leis do país, num processo que começou muito antes do cheetos de piruca chegar ao poder.

tem que acabar a piruca e o New York Times.

É simples assim: quem perde eleição e tenta dar golpe tem que ser punido severamente, ou a democracia não se sustenta. Por isso, o dia de hoje é um marco histórico para a democracia brasileira.

e segue sendo pauta (ex: AGORA na GNews) em telejornais a "discussão" sobre se o "golpe" foi "consumado" ou "só imaginado" como se o próprio crime não fosse TENTAR DAR O GOLPE.

Por favor, chega. É um NÃO ASSUNTO.

quem trabalha com tradução costuma desconfiar de IA. a gente tá na linha de frente faz tempo, quase só tem espaço no mercado pra revisar trabalho de LLM. e a gente sabe bem, na prática, que os erros são graves e difíceis de achar. todo mundo acha que percebe, mas não percebe.
Se o resultado for importante para você, não terceirize especialmente a fundamentação para um gerador de lero-lero.
Chefia me pediu ajuda pq usou esses chatsgpt da vida pra desenvolver um raciocínio e ele citou como base dois acórdãos do TCU.

Trump tem reclamado há tempos que os 🇺🇸 “subsidiam” o 🇨🇦, enquadrando o déficit comercial com os vizinhos (US$ 72B em 2023) como “caridade” que poderia, a qualquer momento, ser revertida. O vídeo abaixo desmonta essa retórica, destacando que 60% do petróleo que alimenta as refinarias dos 🇺🇸 vem do 🇨🇦
IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

Correct.

Trump promised to install tariffs. If he does, it'll be a disaster.

But if he doesn't, he'll try to claim credit for what the economy is doing under the Biden policies that he *specifically said would bring us a Depression.*
This is absolutely the case. Also, he will take credit for many of the actually impressive economic realities that Biden made happen. All of that infrastructure investment, many of which is just now starting to flow, which the GOP sought to block? Trump will take credit.

Don't let him.

recomendo, assim como seguirem a @ninadahora.bsky.social que tem uma linha de pesquisa super pertinente sobre o tema, e porque não o artigo que coescrevi, e foi publicado na revista estudos avançados da USP, sobre mitigação de viés em modelos de IA:

"IA 'prefere' homens brancos para vagas de trabalho".

Li por aqui que seria um retrato dos donos e programadores das IAs. E, bem, não é bem assim, não...

A IA reproduz os preconceitos SOCIAIS, salvo se for investido esforço e conhecimento em mitigação de racismo.+
