As an entrepreneur and the creator of Italy’s largest social media platform, I am now focused on building a user-centric content ecosystem, rooted in Geneosophy, a verifiable model of human intelligence.

LLMs hallucinate? Groundbreaking discovery: a statistical model works statistically. 😉 It’s the ultimate tech irony.

We abandoned GOFAI because manual rules couldn't handle the messiness of reality.

Word and Excel vs LLMs.

Secretaries became executive assistants, their role evolved to higher-level coordination, communication, and decision support. Accountants gained the ability to do far more analysis, strategic planning, and advisory work.

AGI is Our Generation's Alchemy, And We're Too Arrogant to Admit It

The AI industry has a dirty secret: we're building toward Artificial General Intelligence without the faintest consensus on what intelligence actually is.

LLMs are masters of the "Understood"—the vast library of human output. But they lack "Understanding"—the creative spark that generates those concepts in the first place.

Excel didn’t kill accountants; it gave them better tools. Yet, with AI, we’ve abandoned this logic in favor of a collective fantasy. We’re treating a sophisticated calculator as a human replacement rather than a human multiplier.

When Excel became mainstream, it accelerated accountants' work. Companies needed fewer number-crunching positions. You could accomplish more with fewer people, but you still needed the experienced accountant. Think of LLMs as a tool to increase efficiency, not one to replace the accountant.
