Why does a flash micro-rant mentioning hot actresses and madness get 20 times more impressions than announces of essays that took hours to write?

Please suggest YOUR choices for the 5000 words that EVERY European should know! (and ask everybody to do the same)

https://mfioretti.substack.com/p/5000-words-for-europe-again

#EU #Europe

This is THE creepiest, most depressing thing I've seen online this month. In general, not just about #dating or #marriage

"No, Today's #AI isn't sentient"??? (*)

Of course it isn't but the REAL point is that even if #AI were sentient, we REALLY shouldn't give a f**k, for (at least) all these reasons:
