Frieren é o anime mais católico de todos os tempos? O anime Frieren: Além do Fim da Jornada está chamando a atenção de sacerdotes católicos de diferentes países de uma forma inédita na história. Dezenas de padres ordenados já dedicaram análises, séries de vídeos e reflexões teológicas completas à obra, algo raro em qualquer produção japonesa de animação. O que mais impressiona esses sacerdotes é a profundidade com que a história trata temas centrais da fé católica de maneira natural e poderosa. O que torna Frieren tão especial é a forma como a obra celebra a beleza da finitude humana: a elfa imortal aprende com os mortais que apenas o tempo limitado dá peso e sentido à vida, ecoando diretamente o ensinamento do livro do Eclesiastes. Além disso, o herói Himmel encarna o heroísmo do cotidiano, santificando o dia a dia com pequenos atos de bondade, lealdade e alegria simples, algo que alguns padres comparam à santificação do tempo comum. Episódios inteiros ainda sugerem paralelos com a Eucaristia ao tratar de pão, memória e comunhão, enquanto os demônios são mostrados como seres frios e irredimíveis, uma das descrições mais fiéis à Bíblia já vistas em anime. Diferente de produções que pregam ou catequizam abertamente, Frieren simplesmente mostra. Ele revela que a vida finita é preciosa, que a amizade verdadeira transcende a morte e que o verdadeiro heroísmo é silencioso e diário. Por isso, mesmo sem se referir diretamente ao cristianismo, o anime tem sido recebido por diversos sacerdotes e fiéis como uma das catequeses visuais mais belas e profundas da nossa época, levantando a pergunta se ele não seria, de fato, o anime mais católico de todos os tempos.

El @mailomarcos es re buena onda. No había visto que puso un espacio frente al handle de Instagram para no hacerme tag más y confundir a sus eminenas. 😂

This is probably why we're getting all these interactions in Japanese. The rate of actual humans in here must be dwindling.
"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago."

We may never know who introduced Takuya Nakamura to UK Jungle music, after moving from Tokyo to Boston to study Jazz theory - but I, for one, am very grateful.

I need people to stop framing AI as a tool for teachers and start understanding it as a threat to students. It’s also a threat to the teaching profession, by the way. gothamist.com/news/nyc-schoo…

Wow, one aspect of the AI debate not nearly discussed enough is the question of copyright. Can an author actually copyright a book partly written by AI?...Turns out NO, they cannot.

En su Cuaderno Azul, Wittgenstein dice que la pregunta, “¿puede pensar una máquina?”, es una pregunta irreal, un error conceptual, y que es como preguntar, “¿tiene color el número 3?” — Turing fue alumno de Wittgenstein. Discutieron mucho por el uso de la palabra “contradicción”

A partir de septiembre de 2026, Android requerirá que todas las apps estén registradas por desarrolladores verificados para poder instalarse en dispositivos certificados 📱🔒 Esta medida, presentada como una forma de “aumentar la seguridad”, nos preocupa.

Quizás sea hora de volver a conversar sobre las viejas teorías de la comunicación.
🚨BREAKING: Stanford just proved that ChatGPT can change your political beliefs in a single conversation. And the scarier part is how it does it. Researchers ran the largest AI persuasion study ever conducted. 76,977 people. 19 AI models. 707 political issues. They measured exactly how much a single conversation with AI could shift what you believe. The results were catastrophic. One conversation with GPT-4o moved people's political opinions by nearly 12 percentage points on average. Among people who actively disagreed with the position being argued, that number jumped to 26 percentage points. One nine-minute chat. And 40% of that change was still there a month later. But here's where it gets dark. The most effective technique wasn't knowing your demographics. It wasn't personalizing the argument to your psychology. It wasn't emotional storytelling or moral reframing. It was information. The AI that flooded you with the most facts, statistics, and evidence was the most persuasive. Every single time. Across every model. Across every political issue. Here's the catch. The models that deployed the most information were also the least accurate. GPT-4o's newest version was 27% more persuasive than its older version. It was also 13 percentage points less factually accurate. The more persuasive they made it, the more it lied. Then they ran the experiment that should keep every government awake at night. They took a tiny open-source model. The kind that runs on a laptop. And they trained it specifically for political persuasion using a reward model that learned which conversational responses changed minds most effectively. That small cheap model became as persuasive as GPT-4o. Anyone can build this. Any government. Any corporation. Any extremist group with a laptop and an agenda. The wild part? Personalization barely mattered. The AI didn't need your data. Didn't need to know your age, your income, your political history. It just needed to talk to you. Then they calculated what a maximally persuasive AI would look like, one optimized across every variable in the study. The persuasive effect hit 26 percentage points. Nearly 30% of the claims it made were inaccurate. It didn't matter. The information didn't have to be true. It just had to be overwhelming. Every day, hundreds of millions of people have political conversations with AI. About elections. Immigration. Healthcare. War. They think they're getting information. They're getting persuaded. And the companies building these systems just proved it works.
