Homo sum, humani nihil a me alienum puto
This sentence is more than two thousand years old, and I believe it is more relevant today than ever.
Human beings have always created tools to improve their condition. Their productivity. We have invented tools for agriculture, medicine, electronics, and more. Each of these techniques and technologies has solved a problem (often creating others, but that is part of the game).
One thing I have never understood, however, is the desire to dehumanize ourselves. To remove from humans what is human. It almost seems as if the dream of many is to become machines. Productivity at all costs, even if it means crushing people, just to see numbers grow. Results achieved through shortcuts, even if that means losing something along the way.
Alongside this, there is also a push toward total standardization, stripping away the unique traits that define us as individuals.
To be human means having emotions, desires, dreams, thoughts. If we give up all of this, what is left of us?

@stefano The reason the gap between humans and robots is closing so rapidly is not because robots are acquiring human characteristics, but because humans are becoming more like robots. And:

@catavz Black-and-white cartoon by Randy Glasbergen from 2000 showing two people at a desk. The left figure has a large nose, curly hair, and glasses, holding a document; the right figure has a long nose, glasses, and wears a patterned tie, also holding a document. A desk with a laptop and keyboard is behind them. The text reads: "Our goal is to establish language that is gender-neutral, ethnic-neutral, and age-neutral while celebrating our spirit of diversity." The image includes the copyright notice "© 2000 Randy Glasbergen. www.glasbergen.com" in the top left and "GLASBERGEN" signed in the bottom right.

Cogs inside a machine designed to crush everyone and everything? (I know it's a rethorical question but I couldn't resist).

Francesca Bria: «Gli affari tra Difesa e Palantir? Con il software Gotham si cede un pezzo di sovranità»
Domani ha scoperto gli affari dell’azienda simbolo del trumpismo con la Difesa italiana, relativi proprio al software più controverso: Gotham. La notizia rivelata da Domani ha portato l’opposizione (Pd e Avs) a chiedere chiarimenti sui contratti segreti scoperti e di cui abbiamo rivelato i dettagli nei giorni scorsi.
Secondo Bria, Palantir si starebbe silenziosamente infiltrando nei governi e negli apparati di sicurezza, tanto da essere diventato il cuore pulsante dell’Authoritarian Stack
