hm… so the panels were accepted with their original titles, and only later on someone complained about them?

looks like more of an exercise in marketing and self-absolution by some stakeholders in conflict of interest, rather than genuine concern for rigorous definitions

why you gotta disrespect sparkles and occupy my screen estate against my choice like that

In this particular picture, you can see the authorship appropriation by the three-coloured flame in the profile picture, designed by Almirante, a former high officer of the fascist government, turned leader of the Italian neofascist party MSI after WWII.

In the show M Son of the Century there is a pretty explanatory scene in which Mussolini's sidekick, Rossi, receives from rich businessmen, scared of the socialist wind, a big bag of money.

He then goes back to his office to shower Mussolini, politically isolated and desperate, with said money.

Replace “AI” with “overnight replacement of robust outstanding praxis with fragile AI solutions”, but yeah…

I love when work lets me learn these beautiful facts.

September was again a blast: in Carloforte, on a smaller island close to my hometown, I attended the school in Digital, Public and Oral History organised by Giampaolo Salice and the incredibile faculty that joined the LUDiCa lab of Digital Humanities at the Università degli Studi di Cagliari.

Then came June, when I had the opportunity to fly out to Buffalo, NY, to present the open dataset we released from our work last year, on the Swiss, Bavarian and Hessian elections, kickstarted by @algorithmwatch.bsky.social, at the AAAI @icwsm.bsky.social conference.
