ChatGPT is an Alchemist
I’m 50% through The Alchemist right now. The last time I read it was more than 20 years ago. One of the discussions between the young traveller and the English man was about the fact that gold would start losing its value if alchemy turned to be simple. It was a hard practice to understand.…

GPT Wars
People are using ChatGPT to automate the publication of comments and replies to Twitter posts. So far, only a handful of smart tech-savvy early-adopters was able to build that mechanism.

Intelectualidade e introspecção
A Lívia Lanzlaster postou em seu blog uma tradução do interessante “The Crisis of the Intellectual Life” da Zena Hitz, e nele há indicações que eu considero muito precisas sobre o que a autora chama de “vida intelectual”, intellectual life. Em maio deste ano iniciei uma jornada literária com a leitura dos livros da série…

Problemas
Percebo que nossos problemas só aumentam. Há novos problemas surgindo todos os dias. Vejo a preocupação em alguns educadores em preparar nossas crianças a exercitar o “pensamento crítico”. OK, válido. Mas entendo que é importante romper a barreira do pensamento, por mais importante que seja a crítica, e preparar nossos jovens para ação. Se for…
