I’m going to keep calling Charlie Kirk a fascist who should not be valorized. I am not capitulating to the climate of repression the Trump regime and its supporters have created. The only way to protect freedom to speak truth, is to keep speaking truth.

An estimated 5.56 billion people have access to the internet. Across social media there are 5.24 billion individual accounts. But there's only a handful of platform owners.

On dit souvent qu'Einstein aurait introduit la constante cosmologique pour sauver l’idée d’un univers éternel. La vérité est plus subtile et fascinante. Je l’aborde dans cet article 👇

Le principe oublié d’Einstein ou la naissance de la constante cosmologique

"Confirmation bias (tendency to believe what you already believe) + automation bias (tendency to believe what a computer says) + isolation + an AI chatbot that constantly reinforces whatever you say = an incredibly powerful recipe for psychological dependence and thus user retention and thus money".
