These days, anti-GenAI screeds cross my radar every week. Even when I agree with what they’re saying (I often do), they’re mostly saying the same things. So, FWIW, here’s one with a fresh PoV: going-medieval.com/2025/10/21/

On AI and the golem
Recently I, like a lot of people who make their living by creating things, have been thinking a lot about so-called AI. I have been forced to do this because so many companies have been stealing th…

The White House points to a
seven-month snapshot
showing low inflation,
but economists say prices are closer to 3 percent.
The shutdown delays fresh data.
Most experts agree inflation has picked up in recent months,
in part because of Trump’s tariffs.
Economists expect more tariff-driven price increases in the months to come.

Trump says inflation is dead. Most data says: Not quite.
The White House says inflation is low and cool. Virtually every alternative calculation paints a less rosy picture.

Dei agora um dos meus raríssimos saltos ao Facebook (tem sido em média 1 por mês, mais ou menos), e deparei com isto.
Achei que devia trazer para aqui. Porque é relevante.

Publicação de Miguel Lobo Antunes no Facebook, publicada há 14h: Ontem, usando como fonte o Jerusalem Post, diziam o Correio da Manhã, o Expresso, a SIC, a CNN (não sei se mais, só leio o Público), numa noticia que foi mudando ao longo do dia, segundo me iam contando, que o Nuno era pró-israelita, casado com uma judia, que havia muitas bandeiras israelitas às janelas de casa deles, que os israelitas estavam a investigar possiveis relações entre o assassinio e o Irão! Tudo falso. Conheço a viúv…

It Sounds Like Jerry Jones Isn’t All-In for a Blockbuster Cowboys Trade
After trading Micah Parsons, the assumption around the NFL was that if the Dallas Cowboys were playing decent football, Jerry Jones would go out and make a trade to acquire a defensive player. Jones was even on record stating that if a trade presented itself, he’d consider it.  With the Cowboys being 3-3-1 and in second place in the NFC East, especially with the way Dak Prescott has been throwing the football around, it seems likely that the Cowboys will go out and make a deal.  However, wh…

"Tenants in rent-controlled apartments have the right to move back at their prior rents once renovations are completed. After fires, however, landlords often seize the opportunity to make more significant changes... unnecessary for a tenant to reoccupy.
"That extends the construction timeline by months or years... and landlords often hope tenants will just give up. Then, rent for new tenants goes up to market rates."

After years of alleged neglect, their Mission building caught fire. Will suing help them return? 
Tenants at 2782 Folsom St. lost their homes due to a fire they say could've been prevented. Can the code assure them a return to their unit?

We desperately need to figure out how to flip this: how to lift up the creators of wonderful things, instead of rewarding whoever can acquire power over their creations.
I don’t think we know how to do this. There’s a vast spectrum of schemes for fixing this, ranging from capitalist versions of “intellectual property” to Marxist “just end capitalism” notions to various versions of “easy, society should just be different.” I find them all lacking, both in theory and in practice. This is a problem that’s existed for millennia, not decades, and I’m not convinced we have a clear solution.

Shanghai GP3 400 PAN (FF) English Alt Text: A dramatic black-and-white photo taken from a low angle, looking up at a tall residential building. The structure features multiple balconies with metal railings, windows with air conditioning units, and ornate ironwork. The perspective emphasizes the building’s height and repetitive architectural patterns. The grainy texture adds a vintage, film-like feel, highlighting the imposing presence of the urban architecture. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，从低角度仰拍一栋高层住宅楼。…
Shanghai GP3 400 PAN (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of a city street. In the foreground, a metal bollard with a can of coke stands beside a striped traffic cone and a metal fence. The fence separates the sidewalk from the road, where cars and a motorcycle are passing. Residential buildings with balconies and trees line the background. Overhead, power lines stretch across the sky. The image has a grainy, vintage texture, evoking a quiet, everyday moment in an urban neighborhood.…
Shanghai GP3 400 PAN (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white street photo showing a cluttered scene of parked motor scooters and bicycles in front of a building. Some scooters have license plates, others are covered with protective sheets. The building behind has barred windows and a sign with Chinese characters above the entrance. The image captures the density and texture of urban life, with overlapping shapes and surfaces creating a documentary-style composition. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白街头照片，画面前景是密…
Shanghai GP3 400 PAN (FF) English Alt Text: A black-and-white photo of a worn building facade. Large rectangular windows dominate the structure, some open or partially ajar. Air conditioning units are mounted on the wall, with peeling paint and exposed plaster adding texture. A tree branch with leaves stretches across the top of the frame, partially obscuring the view. The image conveys a gritty, aged urban atmosphere. 中文替代文字： 这是一张黑白照片，展示了一栋外墙斑驳的建筑。建筑上有多个大矩形窗户，有些打开或半开。墙面上安装了空调机，油漆脱落，露出粗糙的灰泥层，…
