I often think about this. "If you see tech bros doing stuff that is making most people's lives worse in the name of some distant goal, be skeptical. If you see political revolutionaries breaking eggs to make an omelet, be very skeptical of whether it will be poisonous.".

And in another interview, when a photographer mentions that his editor requested a sad picture of Eunice and her children, she insists, “We will smile.” . This is Brazil. 🇧🇷💛💚.

Here’s the English trailer, which includes some of my favorite scenes. When Rubens Paiva’s death certificate is finally issued, a journalist asks Eunice, “Doesn’t the State have more urgent issues than fixing the past?” to which she calmly replies, “No.”.

This movie is a gift to humanity. As Brazilians, we are extremely proud of our country, our culture, and our robust institutions—of our ability to reckon with our dark past, learn its lessons, and move forward with dignity, strength, and the joy that defines us.

At the same time, our electoral justice system has proven remarkably effective, temporarily barring Bolsonaro and other enemies of democracy, like Pablo Marçal, from running for office.

Its release was particularly timely, coinciding with the revelation of Bolsonaro’s recent coup plans, which included the planned murder of President Lula, VP Alckmin, and Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes (who is now being sued and maligned by Trump and Elon).

The acting—especially by Fernanda Torres and her mother, the mythical Fernanda Montenegro—is magnificent. The film received a 10-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.

Stories like this remained silenced until the establishment of the Truth Commission by President Dilma Rousseff, allowing Brazil to finally confront its own history.

and how his wife Eunice Paiva, faced with the unimaginable, is transformed by the experience. Recognizing that the state violence her family endured under the dictatorship is the same that indigenous peoples continue to suffer even beyond that era,.

I'm Still Here Oscar celebrations!!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷. Americans would truly benefit from watching this film—it's a necessary warning. It tells the real-life story of the murder of Congressman Rubens Paiva during the U.S.-backed military dictatorship . 🧵.

Obviously very tricky to do it right but with proper design (transparency about provenance of LLM statements, being maximally inclusive of minority opinions, community review of ai outputs etc etc) this would make life a lot easier for implementers.

Soo cool!! Also allows for lots of interesting LLM tools to support conversations (eg have a separate interface where people see real-time summaries or AI suggested bridging statements).
