about
Brazilian hobbyist programmer. I mostly do my own thing but I've contributed to some free and open source projects.
I created the lone programming language, a lisp for Linux:
https://github.com/lone-lang/lone
The projects I've published are on GitHub:
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/
I can be reached via email:
hn@matheusmoreira.com
I also have my own website:
https://www.matheusmoreira.com/
If you like my work, consider sponsoring me:

No pressure though. I do this because I enjoy it.

> I just get peeved by bad lines of argumentation. You quoted a Futurama caricature that is not comparable to all this, apparently because the words "assistive technology" were used.

I'm reverse engineering a cherished video game from my childhood. I got to the audio engine part and things got pretty difficult. Managed to map out the locations of the audio data but figuring o…

Yes, "tokens, trained on the sum of human knowledge", are the most absolutely, unambiguously clear example of a non-rivalrous good I've ever seen. The current copyright status quo has…

And we push ever closer to the edge of cyberpunk. Psst, interested in some black market heretical Mythos weights?

"Stealing" of non-rivalrous goods? I don't "think" it's not real. I know .
comment
Sorry, but it essentially cured my ADHD. In my experience, AI is more effective than lisdexamfetamine at allowing me to turn my ideas into reality. AI stigmatization is ableism.

That wasn't the argument. Here are the specific examples listed in the comment I responded to: > QAnon > Alex Jones > Andrew Tate

"Kids are being harmed, so let's end privacy online and force everyone to ID" is not balance, it is the panopticon. Hilariously, even the baroness cited in the article believes it'…

He's the one who wrote Kilo too!

People with executive dysfunction too. LLMs bring execution costs down to near zero and are therefore assistive technology.
comment
This is terrible news given the stigma against AI in general. I really don't want people singling me out for it.
comment
Banning it just for kids requires identification and is strictly worse.

> We need basic screening and filtering. Based on whose values and criteria? Yours? Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master.

Bringing attention to their methods is much better than dignifying the "think of the children" nonsense with a response. You just posted the answer: > Especially when there are very obvio…

Drug trafficking money laundering child molesting copyright infringing terrorists.

Which is precisely the point. Children are political weapons. Precisely crafted to shut down any opposition to whatever it is you're pushing. Oh you're against this? Pedophile. You don'…

Do tell... I actually emailed their data protection officer over this. It's going to be hilarious if turning on a VPN gets me in at this point.
comment
Go ahead. Play their game. Be nuanced. Argue in good faith. Then watch as they accuse you of supporting pedophilia.
comment

He who gives up freedom for security ends up with neither.
