#CatarinaMartins x #AndréVentura
0 - sei que há um debate que não comentei: ainda não o vi mas provavelmente irei comentá-lo em diferido um dia destes. Para castigo, agora regresso aos comentários com um debate com o #Ventura, e já prevejo berraria, atropelos, desconversanço… Mas pronto, ao menos do outro lado estará a #CMartins que é muito mais agradável de se ouvir. Porque é a TVI, o debate está propositadamente atrasado - e tivemos 6 minutos de publicidade.
1 - caso de exploração de imigrantes no Alentejo: era o tema da pergunta e AV decide falar em vez disso de outra coisa, e o entrevistador a insistir que AV não está a falar da pergunta que foi feita. AV continua e diz que se há problemas é culpa da Catarina Martins. Catarina Martins aponta a mentira na acusação de AV. Aponta a hipocrisia de AV e é acusada de mentir - ela diz “diga o que quiser”, e segue em frente. Explica os problemas das propostas de AV (no parlamento) para a imigração, dá o exemplo do jogador de futebol que marcou golo ontem. AV acusa BE de explorar grávidas (mentira), e depois mistura imigração legal e ilegal. Bangladesh e tal. Catarina Martins diz que ri de AV sempre que quiser. AV fala de bandalheira, entrevistador tenta calar AV e falha 1/n

Better Technology, Worse Motivation: GenAI’s Mediocrity Trap
While generative AI (GenAI) promises productive efficiency, it can paradoxically lead to lower-quality work. We conducted an experiment with professional illustrators and found that AI assistance flattens the quality curve—it accelerates initial gains but sharply diminishes the returns on sustained effort. Faced with this, a significant number of professionals made a strategic choice: they sacrificed the final quality to save time.
From http://www.jin-li.org/uploads/1/1/4/5/114595093/ai_and_motivation.pdf
I haven’t read this and can’t vouch for it; seems vaguely AI-boostery. Still, the conclusions are interesting. This seems to be the picture that is emerging about generative AI generally: most people don’t like it and find that degrades the quality of work. Coders seem to like it and think that it helps them, but in fact it makes the slower, less productive, and more bug prone.
By all measures it’s a bad technology. We should just be honest about it. There is no need to make excuses for multi-trillion-dollar corporations.

- 25 de Novembro - LMM está mal, Ventura pior. Ventura tem sempre o problema extra de ser candidato a Presidente e Primeiro Ministro ao mesmo tempo. O problema do Ventura é com “a esquerdalhada”, que também fica muito bem a um candidato a Presidente (not). AV diz que o 25A trouxe só problemas, e o 25N é que foi bom; LMM mostra que Ventura é só teatro, e também que não tem o sentido de estado que é preciso de um Presidente (até como deputado é inqualificável). “Políticos a mandar prender era na altura da PIDE”, relembra LMM. AV diz que “são todos corruptos” para não dizer nada. Ouvir isto é sofrível. AV quer que LMM diga que o presidente da Angola é um ladrão. LMM acusa AV de branquear a ditadura, e que Ventura não é candidato a sherife de Portugal que isso não existe.
- corrupção: a única preocupação ou ponto em que LMM e AV estão de acordo, de acordo com o LMM. AV acha que a solução do LMM não funciona, enquanto a solução dele é o que ele tem feito no parlamento (que não é algo que um presidente faz ou pode fazer, mas pronto). A outra solução do Ventura é dar um murro na mesa (bela solução, coitada da mesa). AV continua a insistir que LMM é mau porque não disse ainda que o presidente de Angola é ladrão… LMM aponta outra vez contradições de AV
