I negazionisti negheranno fino alla morte: impegnati in una danza macabra
PERCHÉ I NEGAZIONISTI NEGANO FINO ALLA MORTE? Si racconta che di negazionismo si può vivere ma non si può sopravvivere alla negazione. Una verità negata dai fatti visto quanto sono diffuse e potenti le campagne di negazionismo in atto, per di più sempre ben finanziate e sostenute dai media. Proteggersi dal negazionismo è diventato quasi impossibile, ci si può forse, se si hanno gli strumenti giusti, proteggere emotivamente e intellettualmente ma se il contesto è tutto infettato, melmoso, indecifrabile, la missione diventa quasi impossibile. Non serve neppure adattarsi per sopravvivere.

Who control AI?
WHO CONTROL AI? At the end of the day, men made of flesh and blood , (neurosis included ) who have and will evacuate anyone who will question their power, their methods and the techniques they sell to consolidate their power. Alla fine dei conti, uomini fatti di carne e sangue (nevrosi incluse) che hanno e continueranno a fermare chiunque metta in discussione il loro potere, i loro metodi e le tecniche che vendono per consolidare il loro potere.
Indeed AI needs to be disarmed
We (philosophers) have gone through that before
Some thoughts after reading The Economis article: “Forget Python, Study Plato”: On The Futility of Only Chasing Labour Market Demands. Fields that have higher exposure to AI saw the sharpest declines, including Information Sciences, Computer Science, and Finance. Decreases were also observed for various forms of Engineering, with Space Engineering face the largest drop and Civil Engineering being the most AI-resilient. However, as the pithy title suggests, Philosophy, which notably has fewer recent graduates, and other low AI-exposure fields, have seen positive job growth.

La fogna come tribuna. Trump, Savage e la normalizzazione del disumano
Robert Reich posed a simple and devastating question this week: why did the president of the United States repost a video in which a podcaster (Savage) calls the wombs of immigrant mothers a chamber pot—a bedroom, a latrine—and accuses a Chinese American citizen of wanting to turn the country into a colony of Beijing? The answer Reich doesn't explicitly give—but the material dictates—is this: because it works. Because that's exactly what the system was built to work.
