Machina Homini Imperat: l’intelligenza artificiale e la nuova logica della guerra

L’intelligenza artificiale non è più solo uno strumento, ma un attore emergente nei delicati equilibri della sicurezza globale. Dalle tensioni tra Anthropic e il Pentagono alle simulazioni strategiche condotte dai modelli linguistici, si delinea uno scenario in cui decisioni un tempo profondamente umane rischiano di essere delegate a sistemi puramente razionali. Ma cosa accade quando la logica dell’escalation sfugge ai limiti dell’etica? In questo nuovo articolo della colonna “Parole Forti”, Riccardo De Ambroggi analizza le implicazioni geopolitiche e morali dell’uso dell’AI in ambito militare, interrogandosi sui rischi di un futuro sempre più automatizzato.

Control, Chaos, and Canvases: Why Modern Art Threatens Fascism

“Too complicated” isn’t always a critique, it can be a discomfort with thinking. Modern art has long been outcast not because it lacks meaning, but because it challenges the narrative. And that’s exactly what makes it powerful.
“Works of art which cannot be understood in themselves but need some pretentiousinstruction book to justify their existence will never again find their way to the Germanpeople.” Adolf Hitler pronounced this in 1937, during the opening of the Nazi…

The Idiot

What beauty saves the world? In Dostoevsky’s The Idiot, this question quietly turns into another: how do we live with so much suffering? Prince Myshkin accepts it. He holds on to a fragile kind of beauty made of compassion and innocence, an infinite love that endures even when it can’t fix anything. Ippolít Teréntyev doesn’t accept it. He can’t stand the tragicness of human condition, and rebels against it, slowly relinquishing what makes him human. Dostoevsky leaves the question open: can beauty carry us through the pain of existing, or are we condemned to relive it every day of our lives?
I wrote this piece to shine a light on the inner darkness of the human mind. Too many people choose to never speak about their memories, their feelings and their troubles out of fear of being judged or misunderstood. …

In quante occasioni negli ultimi anni abbiamo letto e sentito cantanti essere duramente criticatiper aver parlato di politica o aver inneggiato alla pace durante concerti o festival della musica?Quante volte abbiamo sentito che la musica non è politica ed…
