“In this era of fake news and paid news artificial intelligence is more and more used as a political tool to manipulate and dictate common people, through big data, biometric data, and AI analysis of online profiles and behaviors in social media and smart phones. But the days are not far when AI will also control the politicians and the media too.”

“The official philosophies of the totalitarian regimes unanimously brand as nonsensical the idea that there exists a single objective truth valid for everybody. The criterion of "truth," they say, is not agreement with reality, but agreement with the spirit of a race or nation or class—that is, racial, national or utilitarian. Pushing to their limits the biological, pragmatist, activist theories of truth, the official philosophies of the totalitarian regimes deny the inherent value of thought. For them thought is not a light but a weapon: its function, they say, is not to discover reality as it is, but to change and transform it with the purpose of leading us towards what is not. Such being the case, myth is better than science and rhetoric that works on the passions preferable to proof that appeals to the intellect.”

“I’m Ron Redish, one of the many news puppets that tell you what to believe and what to think. If a run-of-the-mill person, who isn’t a trusted and official news anchor like myself, says something that differs from the official news, you can be sure it’s misinformation or a flat-out lie. Such a person is for sure one or more of the following: a sexist; a racist; a misogynist; a Nazi; is part of a different political party than yourself; a terrorist, domestic or otherwise; a conspiracy theorist—or whatever label works best for you in shutting down your freethinking mind and hating the person so you won’t listen to them. Take your pick. Feel free to mix and match.”

“Today, democracy is being weakened by lies that come in waves and pound our senses the way a beach is assaulted by the surf. Leaders who play by the rules are having trouble staying ahead of a relentless news cycle and must devote too much effort trying to disprove stories that seem to come out of nowhere and have been invented solely to do them in.

All this has consequences. Small "d" democrats riding to power on the promise of change often begin to lose popularity the day they take office. Globalization, which is not an ideological choice but a fact of life, has become for many an evil to be fought at all costs. Capitalism is considered a four-letter word by an increasing number of people who--if not for its fruits--would be without food, shelter, clothing, and smartphones. In a rising number of countries, citizens profess a lack of faith in every public institution and the official data they produce.”

“Age of AI (The Sonnet)

Welcome to the age of AI, where algorithms
grow bigger, and minds get smaller,
where freedom is the new prison,
character retreats as cave dweller.

Welcome to the age of AI,
where deceit is the new creativity,
where hate is a human right,
malinformation is a legal industry.

Welcome to the age of AI,
where algorithms are still nonsentient,
but so are the people that use them,
mindlessness is trend of the new sapiens.

Welcome to the age of AI, where global goals
are still a dream, only more distant.
Prove me wrong - I beg of you -
Stand up and behave, a proper Sapiens!”

Como explicar as pesquisas que mostram os grupos de WhatsApp de religiosos como ninho das mentiras? Como explicar a bancada evangélica apoiar a derrubada do PL das Fake News?
A explicação é simples: eles acreditam no que espalham; na cabeça deles, isso é verdade. Isso é reforçado pelo fato de que a origem das notícias em geral vem das lideranças religiosas, que eles confiam. Quando acreditamos em algo, ficamos mais susceptíveis a acreditarmos tanto em notícias quanto argumentações que suportam nossas visões, mesmo quando são claramente, descaradamente, falsas.”

“Dear John Twitter
(Delete Twitter Sonnet)

For a long time I've been
backin' away from twitter,
but I didn't cut tie completely
hoping that it might get better.

Now that a far right billionaire baboon
has turned it into the internet sewer,
there's no point to hanging on to filth,
twitter used to be relevant, but no longer.

From time to time, colonial morons try to
bring back the good ol' days of segregation.
It's up to the human society to take charge,
and castrate their ambition through isolation.

Quarantine rabid dogs by absolute dissociation,
To entertain filth is to perpetrate uncivilization.”

“Humanovator (The Sonnet)

Chatgpt pampers plagiarism,
Facebook pampers conspiracy.
More and more innovations are
becoming catalyst of catastrophe.

Note, I didn't mention the birdie,
Very mindful, very demure.
Facebook can still be repaired,
but once a MAGA, always a sewer.

Innovation that outlives its usefulness,
is no longer innovation but carnivoration.
Innovators not in touch with soil-n-roots,
are predators of the concrete jungle.

The golden age of startups is behind us,
today it's mostly filth, fraud and smut.
Amidst the crowd of trust fund termites,
be the humanovator to humanize the world.”

“De acordo com um relatório da Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE), o Brasil enfrenta desafios significativos em relação à capacidade de distinguir informações verdadeiras de falsas. A pesquisa revelou que, em média, 54% das pessoas no Brasil conseguem fazer essa distinção, enquanto a percepção geral em outros países é de 60%. Essa diferença coloca o Brasil abaixo da média global. Além disso, a sátira (como os memes) foi identificada como a linguagem mais fácil de ser confundida com notícias falsas, apontada por 71% dos entrevistados.”

“Warning to the Spellbound
(Sonnet from the future)

In our times we wrote our own literature,
In our times we wrote our own music.
In our times we wrote our own code,
In our times we wrote our own poetry.

Ours was the last human generation,
where humans shaped their own society.
The day you traded comfort for originality,
you forfeited the right to life and liberty.

Today you are nothing, you mean thing,
you are no more significant than woodworm.
You are just puppets to large gibberish models,
backboneless victims of algorithm addiction.

If you can still hear my voice, AI is still adolescent,
Once in control, it'll erase all records of humanness.
We can't yet treat human bias, 'n here comes AI bias,
Abandon all non-vital tech, return to simpler ways.”

“Data is Power (Sonnet)

Coming from a childhood passion for
electronics, initially I fostered a
favorable outlook on Artificial Intelligence,
but as further implications are beginning to
unfold, I'm developing an ominous distaste.

There is no question about the computational
capacities of AI, but humans are not equipped
to fathom, how to apply such power positively.
Then there is the question of instant garbage
generated by lazy prompts, passed as creativity.

It took 3 years of sweat and vision
for Michelangelo to sculpt David,
today AGI can do that in mere hours.
Does such instant cosmetic art have
any value! AI art is just fancy knockoff.

Human mind seeks understanding,
AI seeks data - lots and lots of data.
AI's hunger for data is matched only
by the billionaire's hunger for power.

How much power is enough power,
particularly now when data is power!
What's the point of power and data,
if they just empower criminal behavior!”
― Abhijit Naskar, Azad Earth Army: When The World Cries Blood
