Suponho que muita gente até preferia que fosse só a partir dos 18.. assim seria merda descontrolada para todos, mas ao menos os jovens seriam mantidos dentro do casulo. Quando fizessem 18, teriam finalmente acesso ao maravilhoso mundo que cuidadosamente fomos enchendo de merda para eles.
Happy to announce that our Opinion article about the hotly debated EU’s Digital Services Act (DSA) has been accepted for publication in Communications of the ACM!

To be fair, some authors are also prone to hallucinations. But even if that is the case, human hallucinations are far more interesting.

EC Preliminary Findings - Meta and TikTok in breach of their obligation to grant researchers adequate access to public data under the #DigitalServicesAct
Every time I sit down to write a piece I feel certain that I would rather die than actually write it and yet somehow I would rather die ten times harder before I ever let the word machine write for me.
New article on three lies that longtermists spread about their ideology. These are: (1) That they care about avoiding human extinction. (2) That they care about the long-term future. And (3) that "future people matter." I explain why these are lies below!! Like, share, and subscribe for more. :-)
How capable are AI models? Sounds like an easy question, but the benchmarks that companies use to test their models actually have tons of problems.
Not to miss!
In this piece for Tech Policy Press, @dscheykopp.bsky.social , @ulrikeklinger.bsky.social, @claesdevreese.bsky.social and I argue that it's time for regulators, researchers, and platforms to fulfil their roles and standards set by the delegated act on data access.
A huge milestone was achieved today in the EU towards our common understanding of risks in the online world. If you are a researcher interested in studying societal risks related to very large online platforms and search engines, this is for you!

Exploring Digital Services Act (DSA) and its implications for research. Exciting panel @icwsm.bsky.social with Oana Goga, Krishna Gummadi, Silvia Merisio, and Francesco Pierri.

Celebramos hoje o 40º aniversário da assinatura do Tratado de Adesão de Portugal.
Portugal enriqueceu a nossa União com a sua alma única, feita de coragem, saudade e empreendedorismo.
Lembra-nos que os mares mais difíceis não se temem: navegam-se.
Event date: 12 November 2025
The event will take place in Seville ☀️ and bring together researchers and policymakers working at the intersection of science and enforcement under the Digital Services Act.
We're interested in research on systemic risks stemming from VLOPs and VLOSEs, particularly:
➡️ related to the mental and physical health of minors;
➡️ where #DSA transparency mechanisms have been used (data access, transparency database, ad repositories).

It's a miracle, obviously.
I went on: "People capable of liking some paintings or prints or whatever can rarely do so without knowing something about the artist. Again, the situation is social rather than scientific. Any work of art is half of a conversation between two human beings, and it helps a lot to know who is talking at you. Does he or she have a reputation for seriousness, for religiosity, for suffering, for concupiscence, for rebellion, for sincerity, for jokes? "There are virtually no respected paintings made by persons about whom we know zilch. We can even surmise quite a bit about the lives of whoever did the paintings in the caverns underneath Lascaux, France. "I dare to suggest that no picture can attract serious attention without a particular sort of human being attached to it in the viewer's mind. If you are unwilling to claim credit for your pictures, and to say why you hoped others might find them worth examining, there goes the ball game. "Pictures are famous for their humanness, and not for their pictureness."
"Pictures are famous for their humanness, not for their pictureness."
Kurt Vonnegut discussion of art in his 1997 novel Timequake offers one explanation why people might find AI creations unsatisfying.
We cannot give up the possibility, the magic that will happen when people everywhere can access knowledge and culture, everywhere. That is the real secret to survival and a thriving planet. Not their machines.
