internet, free society and the short escape from capitalism
Interent dreams of freedom: Technology have always ACCELERATED CONCENTRATION power. The network was an anomaly and internet the end of that dream
world wild web: the end of the free net
Wild Wild Web traces the collapse of the “open internet” myth: while we celebrated freedom, platforms enclosed the commons. Search, feeds, and cloud became private jurisdictions. Google, Meta, and Amazon shape visibility and access—sovereign power without a mandate.
social media: how platforms control your attention
Open any feed and you can predict the post before reading it: format, cadence, emotion. That “fluency” is engineered capture. Platforms standardize the container, and algorithms reward reaction over thought. Agency returns when we change the protocol. Add friction, add context, remove autopilot. Now
anthropic and the pentagon: ai new strategic infrastructure
Anthropic is caught in a public clash with the Pentagon: Claude runs inside classified environments through Palantir, where guardrails can’t be audited and accountability dissolves. With supply-chain threats and economic leverage, the real battle is over invisible logs.
network power: the sociable control of digital platforms
Network Power is the force that comes from being connected and indispensable. It doesn’t order you to stay on WhatsApp or Google, but makes leaving socially dysfunctional: you vanish from the flow, lose the rhythm, become peripheral. The network lets you leave, but makes you pay with isolation.
beyond media ecology: ai and llm, your new cognitive tutor
Social media reorganized information, but LLMs do something more radical: they participate in thought production itself. They’re not environments we navigate, but cognitive tutors we co-think with. This transformation introduces unprecedented and more subtle power dynamics.
platform is king: new media and the end of contents
We dismiss likes as vanity metrics, but they were the emotional rewards driving interaction. Today, collapsed organic reach and information overload have broken that loop. When we talk about “meaningful interactions” we accept the platform defines what meaningful is. Content remains, but Platform is King.
ilya lichtenstein: 10 billion bitcoin and the memory blockchain
DEUS MACHINA follows Ilya Lichtenstein: the biggest crypto heist (Bitfinex), 119,754 BTC, six years of laundering via mixers and gift cards, and the fatal paradox—Bitcoin’s blockchain as permanent memory. Arrest, trial, release, and the controversy that followed.
new american authoritarianism: technocratic surveillance
American authoritarianism is moving from exception to infrastructure: facial recognition, data-fusion platforms (Palantir), mobile biometric scans, and long-term watchlists. Executive power turns speech and associations into “risk,” enabling visa revocations and deportations without due process.
threads vs X: the social platform monopoly of meta ecosystem
January 2026: Threads surpasses X in daily mobile active users. This isn’t a “better Twitter” story—it’s Meta’s ecosystem at work: Instagram onboarding, cross-app funneling, engineered algorithmic FOMO, and self-preferencing. The DMA is the first real attempt to break lock-in and leveraging.
open ai, musk vs altman and the lawsuit for control ai
Musk vS OpenAI isn’t just billionaire drama—it’s a stress test for AI governance. Can a nonprofit morph into a $500B empire without betraying its mission? Microsoft’s cloud becomes leverage, while invisible workers pay the hidden cost. Trial starts April 27.
Algorithmic Surveillance: How Securus exploit US Prison Data
Securus Like MINORITY REPORT: The Evolution of Algorithmic Surveillance in American Prisons What is algorithmic surveillance? In Philip K. Dick’s story that inspired Minority Report, a predictive system allowed authorities to arrest people before a crime. That dystopia is now reality inside American prisons. Securus Technologies has trained Artificial Intelligence on years of incarcerated people’s communications and,…
META PLATFORMS: THE SOCIAL SYSTEM EATING YOUR DATAS
Gennaio 2026: 17,5 milioni di profili Instagram circolano gratis sul dark web. Meta minimizza, gli utenti ricevono reset reali, i mercati restano calmi. Non è un “breach”: è la prova di un sistema che assorbe scandali e li trasforma in rumore, grazie a lock-in, dipendenza e asimmetria informativa.
the end of cpu: ai and new logical architectures
The Revolution of Logical Architectures How we moved from a universal CPU to specialized processors — and why this fracture is power CPU: Seventy years of stability, ten years of revolution From 1945 to 2005, computing was dominated by a single fundamental architecture: the CPU (Central Processing Unit) based on the stored-program model. For sixty years, every…
cancel culture: the algorithm of social hate
From ancient ostracism to digital vigilantism, cancel culture runs on engagement-optimized algorithms. Virality replaces due process, memory becomes permanent, platforms monetize polarization and remain effectively un-cancelable.
neural network: the Probabilistic Regime of LLm and ai
Neural networks don’t “think”: they optimize probabilities. From perceptrons to transformers, from embeddings to tokenization, this article shows how AI turns language into infrastructure—and control. Energy costs, bias, oligopoly: the hidden price of deep learning.
Machine Learning: the Social values Embedded in Code
Machine Learning: The Social Ontology Embedded in Code Machine learning, real-world cases, and the politics hidden behind technique The Democratic Promise and the Asymmetric Reality Arthur Samuel defined machine learning as “the ability of a machine to learn without being explicitly programmed” — a phrase that carries a seductive, almost emancipatory resonance. The idea of machines that…
engagement social: media power and the rule of attention
SOCIAL METRICS: the rule of control The invisible architecture engagement social: a new structure of power Social metrics don’t just describe reality: they produce it. They are the infrastructure platforms use to measure social engagement, attention, and behavior—and then weaponize that measurement to decide visibility, distribution, and value. When a metric changes weight, the culture a platform…
algorithms decoded: the dream of rationality
Algorithms Decoded traces the history of algorithms from Leibniz to machine learning, showing how a mathematical abstraction became an infrastructure of power: social sorting, surveillance capitalism, algorithmic governmentality and digital labour.
THE POWER OF DATA: AI, SOCIAL AND DIGITAL GOVERNANCE
data power: From Foucault to Castells, this piece maps how AI governance fails in a platform society ruled by chips, clouds and export controls. Forget summit theatre: real power sits in Nvidia, TSMC, hyperscale data centers and the planetary Stack that shapes our lives.

tiktok algorithm and the attention machine: how it works and how scroll make us into passive information nodes
The Great Deception: Social Media Ban AND BIG TECH POWER
Denmark and Australia sell social media bans as child protection. In reality they intensify FOMO, push minors into darker corners of the web and free platforms from redesigning addictive, harmful algorithms.
social noise: data, algortihms and new networks of power
Drowned in feeds and notifications, we post and scroll compulsively without building real knowledge. This essay explores informational noise, algorithmic inequality and self-exploitation in the network society.
Access denied: Social media ban, power and prohibitionism
Australia’s social media ban for under-16s hits the wrong target. South Korean precedent proves it: bans don’t work, youth bypass restrictions. The real problem isn’t access, but platforms’ proprietary architecture: addictive algorithms, targeted advertising, manipulative design. Regulate the system.
how ai rewrites humanity: beyond social platform technium
Beyond technological determinism and human control: the relationship between technological and biological architecture generates an emergent third system. From McLuhan to Minsky, from Kelly to Zuboff, an analysis of human transformation in the AI era. We’ve become mindless agents of a profit-driven hive.
digital democracy: platforms, algorithms and big brothers
October 2025: 26 Musk posts against Netflix cause $25B volatility. The problem isn’t that Musk has power—it’s that we can finally see it. Before, it existed behind opaque algorithms and anonymous committees. Analysis of techno-oligarchic power and digital institutional void.
big tech At Donald Trump’s Court: THE MEDIA POWER THEATRE
Big Tech: Social Control and Political Subservience Big Tech under scrutiny. A letter stamped by Congress and an already-scheduled date — October 8, 2025 — lined up four “community-centric” platforms: Reddit, Discord, Steam, and Twitch. House Oversight Chair James Comer says he wants to understand how to prevent online “radicalization” and “political incitement” after the killing of…
the ai bubble: meta, openai and the future of llms
The clash between Mark Zuckerberg and Sam Altman defines today’s AI bubble. Meta invests in infrastructure and compute, while OpenAI builds on mission and cultural momentum. Two contrasting strategies reveal how speculation and ambition are reshaping AI’s future and our daily lives.
what is agi, really? a body beyond intelligence
AGI is not a file or a single model: it’s an embodied, distributed system where hardware, software and networks form a cognitive body. From Turing to media ecology, this essay examines coherence, “cognitive energy,” and accountability in the design and deployment of AI.
In the Feed of conscience
outraged or programmeed? Scroll. Like. Share. Outrage. But have you ever wondered whether the conscience you feel is truly yours — or handed to you, ready-made? Follow The Algorithm cracked something I thought was solid. It talks about Palestine, yes — but not the geopolitical one; the one flooding our feeds: protests, carousels, drone shots with a…
Algorithmic: The age of control
Algorithmic Subjectivity and the Society of Control 1.The Illusion of Choice Welcome to the algorithmic age We live in digital environments that promise freedom, personalization, and unlimited connectivity. But every time we scroll through a feed, click on a link, or listen to an algorithmically suggested playlist, we must ask: is it really our choice? Or are…
Algorithmic effect: Virality and Social
The Algo Effect Virality on social networks is not a random phenomenon, but the result of a complex interaction between algorithmic logic and social practices This study introduces a quantitative framework for analyzing virality on social networks, distinguishing two key forces: linear growth (driven by initial organic exposure) and residual growth (nonlinear algorithmic amplification). Using S-curve logistic…
The Toxic Ecosystem of Social Platforms
The Toxic Ecosystem of Social Platforms: LinkedIn and the Commodification of the Soul The Farce Becomes the Norm LinkedIn is not just a social platform. It is the collective performance of performative professionalism. Here every gesture is calculated, every word optimized, every “authentic” story cut to fit engagement needs. Authenticity is talked about, but packaged like slide…

SMOKING BAN IS THE EASY WAY TO TAKE OUR FREEDOM (EVEN TO MAKE MISTAKES)
France’s outdoor smoking ban is more than just a health measure, it’s a step toward an algorithmic system sacrificing freedom for efficiency. Discover how seemingly benign regulations mask a silent social control.
The Surrender to Synthetic Intelligence
Why refuse to change? what means synthetic? It’s woven into the very core of our DNA—this human impulse to detach, to alienate, to conjure up false motivations, or more often, to simply hide from the raw, unsettling truth of our lives. We reject change, alone and together, until death itself becomes the only alternative we’re willing to…

The new World disorder: Algorithms, crypto and digital power
Augmented Geopolitics: A Fragmented World DisOrder Welcome to the post-liberal DISORDER. Global power no longer pivots solely on nation-states, grand ideologies, or multilateral treaties. Instead, it disperses across micro-interests, digital blocs, and gray zones where borders are rewritten as lines of geopolitical code. No more stable borders—only patches of code continuously remixing the map. The result is…
