Social media does not help all artists. It primarily helps those who have certain physical features, are vain, superficial, and have a passion for continuously posting clichés online.

In this environment, a talented artist who hates clichés is an eccentric.

We have forgotten a few essential ideas: technology and information are just instruments, serving direct experience and action.

Spending a lifetime in front of a monitor, to experience life and human contact as a configuration of pixels will seem barbaric to future generations.

Reading for pleasure is fading away. Most people only read to be informed. They read with a specific purpose. Imagine a place where all that is written is a lesson, inspired by another lesson, inspired by a distant author. A world where it’s almost impossible to lose yourself and be surprised.

His history, his biology, current political and social movements, luck, and thousands of other factors - all contribute to a lucky circumstance.

Of course, „great” people hate to hear that.

There's this congruence between multiple sciences today - probability, biology, economics, among many others - which state in various ways that what an individual achieves in a certain moment of his life is not so much his merit, but an ensemble of circumstances that culminate with sheer luck.

If none of us make it out alive, why live quietly?

Much of the political unhappiness comes from a fundamental misunderstanding.

Politics is not ideological nor reasonable. It is a fight for attention. Thus, it is more a play or an aesthetical act than an endeavour to improve lives.

Cea mai mare parte a nemulțumirii oamenilor în legătură cu politica vine din neînțelegerea unei idei simple.

Lupta politică nu mai este de mult ideologică. Ea este doar o luptă pentru atenție. Astfel, trebuie interpretată mai degrabă ca piesă de teatru, ca act estetic, decât ca act rațional.

The first question you need to answer is „Am I an actor, or am I a spectator”. Everything after this is much simpler.

Este o piesă de teatru, un giumbușluc, o șmecherie. Nimeni nu crede povestea pe care o spune. O spune pentru că știe că așa vrea publicul să audă. Ca în certurile dintre diferiți „șmecheri” pe TikTok. Lumea nu este împărțită ideologic. Lumea este împărțită între cei care privesc și cei care joacă.

Chiar dacă vom avea un președinte pro-european, problema de fond nu a fost rezolvată. Educația, soluții pentru epoca post-adevăr, informarea corectă încă sunt priorități pentru care încă avem nevoie de soluții.

They won't. It would mean to show users that they are actually stealing, not creating. This would alienate many users and give advantage to the AI services who don't implement such feature.

People ignore truth when given the chance. Child slavery is not really a hindrance for clothing companies.

The greatest hypocrisy is creating AI engines that steal content in order to create other content, but not creating an AI that detects plagiarism. Tech companies are in serious need of lessons in ethics.

“What's your dream job?”

“I have no dream job. I do not dream of labor.”

„Musk is not a Nazi, Nazis made really good cars”.

Dacă trebuie ceva reparat, este distribuția capitalului. Activezi într-un domeniu cu profund impact social pozitiv și ești copleșit de nevoi, iar gloata de zmardoi și cocalari fac cadouri de sute de mii de euro. Provocarea este să recompensăm valorile pozitive.

Viața de ONG-ist a lui Călin Georgescu: fonduri de la USAID și parteneriate cu Fundația Soros Imediat după căderea comunismului, problemele de mediu au devenit un teren fertil pentru atragerea de fonduri internaționale. România rămăsese cu o moștenire sulfuroasă: cinci regiuni industriale erau...

Ce-ai făcut, Bobiță?

Votanții PSD sunt mult mai ușor de adus la vot decât alții. Mecanismul lor de furt funcționează mai bine.

They tried to centralise power but by doing that they awakened a class conscience.

The joke from Ukrainian Twitter — Trump may want to nuke us after Zelensky’s press conference, so thank god they fired all the people who know where the launch codes are.

With automatic content production, internet will soon be of much less use to us. This will change our behaviour.

What if the next generation consider us to be completely unhealthy, even barbaric - watching screens projecting simple-minded unidimensional info, when reality is infinite?

Corect. Dar trebuie spuse motivele în mod oficial și aparent nimeni nu își asumă asta.

The more your relationship or friendship values differences rather than suppressing them in service to various anxieties, the more all the people in the relationship will flower.

How about creating an AI that identifies stolen ideas and flags them with the source? That would be fun.

AI does not exist yet. The question is: why do you think it does?

All is truly randomness. All order is only temporary, only apparent. Most scientific output is merely the study of temporary phenomena that give the illusion of permanence.

The illusion is born out of our instinct to find patterns.

Most often than not, we see patterns where there are none.

Nu poți convinge oameni aflați sub posesie ideologică.
