  • I’ve been following this conflict for decades. The futility of all the outrage has always been a source of frustration for me.

    I feel something changed now. Israel went too far this time. The tide has turned completely. I don’t know if it’s not too late for Palestine though. But things will never go back to the old status quo. And Israel has doomed itself on the long term but they’re to stupid to see it. The US is on its way out on the world stage and Israel finds itself surrounded by hostile countries in the region, with no sympathy at all a cross the Mediterranean after all they’ve done.











  • This scares the shit out of me. A hundred years ago we saw the rise of fascism. We saw freedom of expression being suppressed. But we had one thing going for us, which is the weakness of every dictatorship. The snitches are not enough and they can’t be everywhere. You never know when they can be listening and chances are most times they aren’t.

    Now we are seeing the birth of a new fascism. Where AI can monitor ALL of us, ALL THE TIME. Not just our prompts. Everything. Everybody experienced talking about something with a friend and a few minutes later you are receiving ads about that thing, which you never searched before. Now imagine you are being monitored all the time for any kind of subsersive opinions. You won’t have a window to fight. The moment you give the smallest hint of dissent, you are efficiently removed from society.

    And forget just leaving smartphones. More and more all our services are associated with it. Very soon you won’t be able to function in society without it.

    AI won’t rule us. AI will be the ultimate tool to help other humans rule us and fighting back will be almost impossible. I feel this isn’t being talked enough and how eminent it is.


  • Unpopular opinion:

    It’s the government fault for not writing laws that protect housing for its citizens.

    It doesn’t matter how much you think it’s imoral (it is) but the simple fact is anyone will always follow his nature given the chance. Landlords will landlord and tourists will tourist. Laying the fault on them and doing nothing makes you complicit. They won’t stop ever, because it’s not their nature. It’s the government that has to force them.
