vitorfblima··on My thoughts on the Bun Rust rewrite
Let me check real quick with ChatGPT if you are being sarcastic or not.
vitorfblima··on We Got This Wrong. and We Are Fixing It
As expected from "the Hub", an empty clickbaity headline, a phony "apology" to save face, etc.
vitorfblima··on The revenge of the philosophy majors
more than half a dozen, probably, so safe to say there could be as much as ten.
vitorfblima··on America, 1926: A forgotten 100-year-old report
Since he is explicitly comparing 2026 to 1926 I think his statement holds up.
vitorfblima··on Factories Are Just Rooms
I guess it's showing user's location, maybe simulating their cursor in some way, but I don't know for sure how he's doing this.
vitorfblima··on The AI backlash is only getting started
That "freedom" has a cost, a very high one (in the form of tokens), and that money is going to powerful corporations anyways.
vitorfblima··on The AI backlash is only getting started
That's part of it, sure, but the starting narrative has always been to make people more productive.
vitorfblima··on The AI backlash is only getting started
Not in the speed and scale you would imagine, luckily.
vitorfblima··on The AI backlash is only getting started
You guessed it.
vitorfblima··on The AI backlash is only getting started
I'm on board with what you're saying, but that's not what I'm going for. Right now, "Markets" need to believe that future nannies will be robots
vitorfblima··on The AI backlash is only getting started
We're talking about ALL labor.
vitorfblima··on The AI backlash is only getting started
The untold promise of IA is to replace labor. That's probably the only reason why some people are willing to spend trillions of dollars in pursuing this technology. Mere tools would never justify this kind of investment. It's no surprise that people are getting angry, even though many are using AI in their everyday life.
vitorfblima··on Did my old job only exist because of fraud?
Prompted and delivered!
vitorfblima··on Eric Schmidt speech about AI booed during graduation
This commenter seems fishy (AI).
vitorfblima··on We let AIs run radio stations
Not a bug, a feature.
vitorfblima··on A web page that shows you everything the browser told it without asking
This is all common knowledge, unfortunately.
vitorfblima··on Fix the iOS keyboard before the timer hits zero or I'm switching back to Android
Exactly. So many people missing the whole point.

This. The survelliance state smiles when people find ok to film their neighbors for "safety" purposes.
vitorfblima··on An AI agent published a hit piece on me
Well, well, well, seems you're onto something here.
vitorfblima··on OpenClaw – Moltbot Renamed Again
Most people wouldn't want to be constantly bothered by an agent unsolicited. Just my 1 cent.
vitorfblima··on A Social Filesystem
Back in the old twitter days you could have screenshots of your tweets being displayed by a number of different 'dubious' accounts on instagram, completely out of your control.

That's just how things work, I guess.

vitorfblima··on JRR Tolkien reads from The Hobbit for 30 Minutes (1952)
Back in the day I used to log in to a MUSH called Elendor (telnet).

It was simply magical and I have many good memories venturing through middle-earth and meeting fellow chars.

vitorfblima··on Vietnam bans unskippable ads
I don't see how less video time for people would harm innovation.

If you, like me and most people I know, hate ads, why would it be a bad thing to limit it?

What are we expecting to actually accomplish with all this platform growth thing?

vitorfblima··on Don't Become the Machine
Ironically Amiga means "female friend" in portuguese.
vitorfblima··on GPT-5.2
I don’t get the comparison. It would be like saying it’s okay if an excel formula gives me different outcomes everytime with the same arguments, sometimes right, but mostly wrong.
vitorfblima··on Redbox left PII on decommissioned machines
I'm 'kinda curious to know which movie is this.
vitorfblima··on New research says "blue zones" can be explained by flawed data
I don't get your point.

Who's claiming that living inside the boundaries of such zones would confer health benefits?

The paper is pointing out that if you actually look at the data there is nothing remarkable about the region's average lifespan (actually lower than the entire country of Japan), which is what's being discussed here.

vitorfblima··on New research says "blue zones" can be explained by flawed data
From the paper: For example, the Centres for Disease Control generated an independent estimate of average longevity across the USA: they found that Loma Linda, a Blue Zone supposedly characterised by a ‘remarkable’ average lifespan 10 years above the national average, instead has an unremarkable average lifespan29 (27th-75th percentile; Fig S6).
vitorfblima··on Vint Cerf sees his invention reflected on Black Mirror
Big tech is more concerned in how to make the most out of all the data we give them willingly.
vitorfblima··on The city I write this in protected its name, so I am not allowed to use it
That happens because the bottle is a trademark itself
