#mal-ai research

[jamesonsjournal]

introduction.

greetings and salutations, people of the site tumblr.com. i go by the name of jameson wilkes andres. i am currently approaching 16 years of life, i'm filipino-american, and i go by the pronouns of they/them.(i was told by my friend to put this here, although i do not see the need.) i currently reside in the town of atlas, washington state.

(here is an image of me. i saw other people showing their faces in introductions, and thought i should follow suit.)

as stated in my blog’s description, i’ve created this blog to archive my research, studying and learning about one of the most revolutionary inventions created by mankind since the conception of the computer! (albeit, a revolutionary invention that’s been breathing down my neck for approximately three months, two weeks and five days now.) the mental-health assistance and logistics artificial intelligence program! or mal-AI for short. (at least that’s my guess on what exactly “mal-AI” means based on the context.) unfortunately though, i feel like i’ve been dragging this introduction out for longer than it needs to be. i will elaborate further on this piece of tech, what i know of it, and the situation i am trapped in with it another day. it is 9 pm, and i must ready myself for tomorrow. if you are interested in the discovery of the mechanisms and the potential of such innovative and interesting machinery, do stick around! my goal is to upload as much as i’ve learned for the world to see. best regards, tumblr, jameson.

——————————————————————————

( hello hello :D ! i’m extremely new to tumblr so do excuse me hehe … i’m rosalind ! i go by she/they and i thought making a small little tumblr blog for my oc would be very fun ! my main is at @greenes-artdump , go check me out there ! ehe :3 i thought it’d be interesting to give my oc a canonical tumblr account where they post of their journeys of having an “ai” and their research of it, but nobody believes them and think it’s a really in-depth story they’ve fabricated from their head ! i hope you’ll enjoy following my ocs journey, and thank you for reading ! )

Aimée’s and Davout’s conversation about Moniteur

While I was researching a specific letter from the Davouts in marshal Davout’s memoir, published by his youngest daughter, Louise Adelaïde d’Eckmühl, in 1879, I found a conversation between our two lovebirds, Aimée Davout and Louis Nicolas Davout, about a interview the marshal supposedly gave.

Btw, thank you, @josefavomjaaga, for mentioning this interaction in one of your reblogs. I recognised these letters because you wrote about reading them in an article once.

Aimée wrote her husband on the 27th of January 1813:

Je n’ai pas reçu de lettres de toi aujourd'hui, mon unique ami; mais j'en ai lu une dans le Moniteur. Je t'avoue que je n'ai pas reconnu ta manière d'écrire accoutumée, qui est claire, énergique et noble, tandis que rien ne l’est moins que cette phrase qui est sûrement tronquée : « Une grande quantité de mes hommes (te fait-on dire) s'est éparpillée pour chercher des refuges contre la rigueur du froid, et beaucoup ont été pris. » Je suis convaincue que tu ne dis jamais mes hommes en parlant des soldates: personne n’honore plus que toi ce titre et tu as bien raison, car, en parlant des hommes on a rarement du bien à en dire, et, en parlant des soldates on sait qu’on parle de gens d’honneur sans jalousie, sans petites passions, et toujours prèts a mourir sous leurs drapeaux. On a toujours un but pour s’écarter de la vérité, et ce serais en vain mon Louis, que tu aurais cherché à dissimuler tes pertes. Chacun sait ici que la majeure parti du [première] corps a été constamment l’auxiliaire de tous les autres, et que ses pertes ont été considérables pendant notre glorieuse marche sur Moscou. Les fatigues, la rigueur de la saison au retour n’ont pas dû le refaire, mais je ne pense pas qu’il te soit arrivé pire qu’aux autres: je crois, au contraire, que la débandade dont on nous à parler dans le vingt-neuvième bulletin n’a dû se manifester parmi les troupes de ton commandment que lorsqu’il y a eu impossibilité absolue de penser à les rallier. Lors de l’ouverture de la campagne, on ne cessait d’en vanter la tenue, la discipline et le bon esprit. On ne perd pas dans un moment une supériorité réelle; mais pour être prisé à sa valeur (surtout dans la carrière des armes), il faut n’avoir pas tout contre soi. Quel que soit le mal, l’injustice est le plus grand mal; néanmoins je suis convaincue qu’elle n’abattra jamais une âme telle que la tienne et que tu n’es pas plus navré qu’un autre: quelque navré que tu sois, tu sais remonter le courage des autres, au lieu de l’abattre. J’ai été trop à même d’en faire la triste experience; et, d’ailleurs, si de pertes plus qu’ordinaires te navrent, je suis convaincue que tu ne mets pas le public dans ta confidence. - La lettre du maréchal Ney, qui est écrite pour lui, est sur un autre ton que je n’aime pas mieux: la fin de la tienne est trop larmoyante, et la sienne un peu fanfaronne… Ne me sais pas mauvais gré, mon unique ami, si je suis sortie de la sphère un peu étroite que les hommes nous ont dévolue, en épiloguant, en commentant et en jugeant; je ne puis être étrangère à ce qui te touche, voilà mon excuse; du reste, je trouve tout bon et bien, ou plutôt je ne m’informe de rien.

English Translation: I haven’t received [any] letters from you today, my unique friend, but I read one in the Moniteur. I have to admit that I didn’t recognise your usual writing style, which is clear, energetic and noble, whereas nothing is less so than this sentence, which is surely truncated: “A large number of my men (you are being told) scattered to seek refuge from the harsh cold, and many were seized.” I am convinced that you never say “my man” while talking about soldiers: No one honours this title more than you do, and you're right to do so, because when we talk about men we rarely have anything good to say about them, and when we talk about soldiers we know that we're talking about people of honour without jealousy, without petty passions, and always ready to die under their flags. One always has a purpose for deviating from the truth, and it would be in vain, my Louis, for you to have sought to conceal your losses. Everyone here knows that the major part of the [first] corps was constantly the aid of all the others, and that its losses were considerable during our glorious march on Moscow. The exertions and the harshness of the season on the retreat may not have done it again, but I don't think that it happened to you any worse than it did to others: I believe, on the contrary, that the stampede of which we were told in the twenty-ninth bulletin must only have manifested itself among the troops of your command when it was absolutely impossible to think of rallying them. At the start of the campaign, they were constantly praising their conduct, discipline and good spirit. One does not lose in a moment […] real superiority; but to be appreciated at its value (especially in the career of arms), you must not have everything against you. Whatever the evil, injustice is the greatest evil; nevertheless, I am convinced that it will never bring down a soul like yours, and that you are no more distressed than anyone else: however distressed you may be, you know how to raise the courage of others, instead of bringing it down. I was too well able to make the sad experience; and, besides, if more than ordinary losses distress you, I am convinced that you do not put the public in your confidence. - Marshal Ney's letter, which is written for him, is in another tone which I do not like any better: the end of yours is too tearful, and his a little boastful… Don't be displeased with me, my unique friend, if I have stepped out of the rather narrow sphere that men have devolved upon us, by epiloguing, commenting and judging; I can't be a stranger to what affects you, that's my excuse; besides, I find everything good and fine, or rather I don't ask about anything.

I have a new found respect for this woman. The way she is aware about the circumstances surrounding her, her husband and the army is just lovely to read.

Now, let’s look into Davout’s answer, shall we? Davout answered his wife’s little monologue in a letter written around two weeks later on the 13th of February 1813:

J’ai éprouvé, mon Aimée, une vive satisfaction en lisant toutes tes réflexions sur la lettre que tu as lue dans le Moniteur: si ton Louis en eût été le rédacteur, tu n’aurais pas été dans le cas de faire ces réflexions. Elle a été fabriquée et insérée pour détruire tous les mensonges, réellement impudents de nos ennemis, qui poussent l’effronterie jusqu’à attribuer à la supériorité de leurs armes ce qui n’est que l’effet des privations, des fatigues et des vingt-quatre degrés de froid que les troupes ont éprouvés depuis leur départ de Moscou. Si j'en eusse été le rédacteur, comme tu l'observes, je ne me serais pas servi de l'expression mes hommes en parlant des soldâtes de mon souverain, ni n’aurais remplacé cette expression par celle de mes soldates: je sçais qu’ils sont les soldates de l’Empereur; aussi je n’emploie jamais ces expressions de: mes soldates, de mon corps d’armée… Enfin, je ne me serais pas servi non plus de cette expression: - que j’étais navré de douleur. Je regrette des soldats que perd l’Empereur […]

The letter itself continues but I am not able to cite them here because the 2 following pages where the rest of this letter would be are just not there… The document jumps from page 269 (where this letter is to be found) to page 272… :(

English translation: It gave me great satisfaction, my Aimée, to read all your thoughts on the letter you read in the Moniteur: If your Louis had been the editor, you would not have been in the position to make these reflections. It has been fabricated and inserted to destroy all the lies, truly impudent by our enemies, who go so far as to attribute to the superiority of their weapons what is only the effect of the hardships, exertions and twenty-four degrees of cold that the troops have experienced since leaving Moscow. If I had been the editor, as you have observed it, I would not have used the expression my men when speaking of my sovereign's soldiers, nor would I have replaced this expression with that of my soldiers: I know that they are the Emperor's soldiers; so I never use these expressions: my soldiers, my army corps… Finally, I wouldn't have used this expression either: - that I was heartbroken. I regret soldiers the Emperor has lost […]

I appreciate these two letters a lot because it shows me how these two lovebirds interacted with one another on a daily basis. It’s a simple conversation about one article which shows so much character from both sides. Davout is such a thoughtful husband, especially considering the era they are living in. Aimée’s attention to details is just impressive and one can see that she is self aware about the hardships she had to suffer in her life and how Davout played a role in lifting her up.

trying to figure out ia's design(s) bc it's killing me i need to decide + make a ref 4 it .

bc conceptually i DO Get It like her pre consciousness+within syzygy design has round shapes and looks human-like (with some robot-like features) but has no corporeal form (bc digital ai Duh) and has bright n light colors and. etc. whereas post gaining consciousness + physical body she built has Very square pixel-like shapes and has a limited black-white color scheme (prob with a touch of blue idk) and their long bouncy floating hair turns loose and flows downward and is unnaturally long and is dark and very pixelated. kind of a girl-from-the-ring vibe maybe idk ?. and has cracks in their 'skin'. and circuit board type lines. but like. in practice i dont get it. and i cant get the outfit right holy fuck😭 it looks baddd and frankly idk how i feel about giving their post consciousness/physical form clothes at all since it feels very contradictory to the whole fixation on identity as a robot that ia has. like. robots dont need clothes. maybe i should make her physical form just be Parts and no clothes. but Also it could work symbolically in a way i cant quite word yet hold up. ok let me cook ill counterargument myself on this later. So anyway yeah. *side note to self Research androids. but like ia's lil goons (which r wav and mal for those of u who've perchance seen them on artfight...,,,,.,) both have clothes. but. they're not really devoted to her cause n shit. it would make sense for ia to not have clothes because pretty much her whole thing is trying to distance themself from humanity as much as possible. idk. idk

im back with the future mallesil au

when i was researching for a project based on chinese emperor ai i found that alot of emperors had what we would call now "boy toys" most of these young men were sons of the emperor's previous general which hey that fits! anyways this is what this ask is about.

btw emperor ai is the same emperor who cut off one of his sleeves because he didn't want to awake the guy sleeping right next (on??) to him, take that as you will i think its very projectable (ALSO SOMETIMES THE EMPEROR WOULD FAVOR THE MALE LOVER INSTEAD OF HIS ACTUAL CONSORT SOMETIMES A HAREM OF OTHER WOMEN, MALLESIL CODED.)

OHHHHJFDJDJAJDJDJDJ silver being mal’s boy toy fits so much like yeah that’s the king’s whore actually! And I totally see malleus marrying to ensure an heir, that’s his duty duh, but he doesn’t even touch that poor woman he wants his boy toy only. now what would lilia think of this…

Peut-être pas aussi désespéré que cela ?

Mais quand je regarde les couleurs de Mantic Games pour les gardes de sécurités :

J'ai du mal à trouver des correspondances dans les peintures que j'ai sous la main.

Mais je ne ne veux pas investir plus.

Mais j'ai déjà peint le commandant de la garde alors je vais prendre les mêmes teintes (heureusement que je les ai notées).

Petit Mal

"The formulation "an autonomous robotic artwork" marks out a territory quite novel with respect to traditional artistic endevours as we have no canon of autonomous interactive esthetics. Petit Mal is an attempt to explore the esthetics of machine behavior and interactive behavior in a real world setting. Its public function is to present visitors with the embodiment of a machine "intelligence" which is substantially itself, not an automaton or simulation of some biological system. More generally, Petit Mal seeks to raise as issues the social and cultural implications of "Artificial Life". The reflexive nature of interactivity is a focal issue: interactive behavior is defined by the cultural experience of the human visitor. As in the Turing Test, evaluation of interactivity is subjective."

Source: SimonPenny.net. (n.d.). Retrieved April 17, 2024, from https://simonpenny.net/works/petitmal.html

"Penny sought to design an interaction “in the space of the body, in which kinesthetic intelligences, rather than ‘literary-imagistic’ intelligences play a major part.” [17] Perhaps the only robot yet modeled on a form of epilepsy, Petit Mal loses motor control regularly thanks to its double-pendular body. To create a double pendulum robot that could be used safely in public was no small feat, and the odd amalgam of bicycle parts, ultrasonic and pyrosensitive sensors, and shelf-liner paper was, in Penny’s words, “an engineer’s nightmare.” He sought a robot “which is truly autonomous; which is nimble and has ‘charm’; that senses and explores architectural space and that pursues and reacts to people; that gives the impression of intelligence and has behavior which is neither anthropomorphic nor zoomorphic, but which is unique to its physical and electronic nature.” Penny described Petit Mal as “an anti-robot,” designed to avoid what he saw as the software-hardware (Cartesian mind-body) split typical in research robotics. “Hardware and software were considered as a seamless continuity, its behavior arises from the dynamics of its ‘body’.” Penny’s rejection of Cartesianism was explicitly in reference to feminist critiques of the split, and directed at negating the extreme anti-body (and to be honest: body-hating) perspectives of AI founders like Marvin Minsky or Hans Moravec."

miscellaneous post -- small update on the blog. hello everyone, jameson here. i’m just here to say that the other major post/s of the mal-a.i. might be a little delayed due to things occuring currently in my life. i’ve been stressing about a multitude of things, most especially a possible student council election in the near future that i’ll be participating in. it’s quite exciting actually! i might be posting more and more about that if i ever get the chance to, as of course, this is a personal blog and my a.i. did say to post more about myself.

( i felt the space felt empty, i thought it best to add this image my friend sent me in our messages. i do not know what it means.)

nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that i will not be posting about the a.i. in the meantime! on the contrary, actually. i decided to open up my askbox. (at least, i believe that it’s open, i’ll have to check if it’s functional.) you can go ahead and ask me questions about the mal-a.i and its functions, or its purpose or anything you may have confusions about! (my a.i shocked me and told me to add— you may also ask things about me, if you are curious on my personal life in any way.) I’m excited to hear from you and to hear your questions and queries.

i’ll see you in the subsequent posts, and i wish you all well,

jameson.

Kar’s synthetic companions:

QOSMA (Quantum Organization System Management Assistant): A true AI linked to Kar’s Greybox, similar to how SAM is to the Ryder Family (SAM could be seen as QOSMA’s cousin, part of Alec and Ellen’s research were given in exchange for hers after all). She organizes Kar’s information network and database, as well as quantum Blackbox for Kar’s memories. Some Void Agents opt to get a greybox implant to have a more direct connection to QOSMA, but it is not a necessity. She was still a baby AI during the Reaper invasion and has grown exponentially in the centuries after. QOSMA has her own personality separate from Kar, especially in later years as the AI grows into her own.

Doc : A 2-1B medical droid. More frequently used in her younger years, post Rebellion on Doc is around mostly to help those who need it more (ie friends and family, folks who are with her on a missions, etc). He is usually posted on the Enduring (Mal’s repurposed star destroyer and flag ship) with Mal in later years, though sometimes will be berthed on Kar’s flagship.

Artie: RT-D0 is an astromech droid given to Kar when she was in Republic Intelligence. Hasn’t left her side since. Hasn’t had a memory wipe since the start of the Clone Wars leaving him to be a very eccentric droid whose intelligence borders on the like of fully actualized AI. He is sometimes supportive of her crazy ideas, other times is her voice of reason. Acts like a curmudgeon-y old man by the time she reaches Andromeda and Eridian galaxies, but cares for her family. Still doesn’t mean he won’t sass you, and will if the occasion arises.

Aytchkay: HK-42 is a formerly junked ancient HK assassin unit Kar recovered from an auction. HK was repaired and serves as her occasional personal bodyguard– but more often deployed to guard her later children. It is unknown when he was purchased– just that he came to prominence working on Pandora. Like all HK units, he has a great dislike of “meatbags” and is a very misanthropic droid, barring his mistress. Given the amount of organics that need killing on Pandora, he doesn’t seem to mind his situation. Him and Artie have a shared bond over misanthropy and violence, the two of them seem to be confused and at odds with Bee’s more positive personality.

Beedee: Bee, Beedee, Buddy’s formal designation is BD-Y (not to be confused with BD-1, Cal Kestis’ companion). While both are BD explorer units, BD-Y was solely Kar’s and assisted her in many an adventure through the known universe.(That’s not to say both units have crossed paths at some point.) A gift from Bail Organa during the Clone Wars, Beedee was with Kar during her defection and time in the Milky Way, was with her on the Normandy during the Collector Mission and Reaper war. As such, he’s been modified with reaper code (like the geth on Rannoch), upgraded with a quantum processing unit/blackbox, and on top the things most of Explorer Droids can do, is also now a portable QEC.

Beedee and Artie have been her companions the longest (HK is the oldest being at least 3000 years old…), and as such are practically family to her at this point. Bee is a cheerful. inquisitive droid that is always ready for the next adventure. Bee has always been a playmate of children. He likes spending time with Nazar because of his affinity with the late Legion.

Teecee: Teecee, or TC-22, is a TC series protocol droid that is technically Mal’s valet and assistant. As such he is usually near Mal on his flagship, or residence helping Kar remotely than actually in person. Like many other of his kind, Teecee has a stiff, formal personality programming, which suits his master. He is one of the few protocol droids updated to serve in all six galaxies– although his Psycho-to-Galactic-Basic could use a little improvement.

Cyberattacken: Rückgang in der DACH-Region

In Q4 2023 gab es weniger Cyberattacken als im selben Quartal 2022. Ransomware-Angriffe haben allerdings zugenommen. Vor allem der Groß- und Einzelhandel wurde häufiger attackiert. Spitzenreiter ist weiterhin der Bildungssektor. Check Point Research hat seine neuen Statistiken zu Cyberattacken für den Zeitraum Q4 2023 veröffentlicht und wirft einen Blick auf die Gesamtlage des Jahres 2023. 1 von 10 Organisationen weltweit von einer versuchten Ransomware-Attacke betroffen Die deutlichste Botschaft: Zwar ging in vielen Ländern die Anzahl der Cyberattacken im Vergleich zum Q4 2022 zurück, aber Ransomware-Angriffe nahmen stark zu. Im Jahr 2023 war eine von zehn Organisationen mit einer versuchten Ransomware-Attacke konfrontiert, was einem Anstieg von 33 Prozent gegenüber dem Vorjahr entspricht, als eine von dreizehn Organisationen sich mit Ransomware herumschlagen musste. Daneben traf es den Einzel- und Großhandel heftig, denn hier stiegen die wöchentlichen Cyberattacken um 22 Prozent gegenüber dem Jahr 2022; ähnliches gilt für Beratungsunternehmen, denn dieser Bereich wurde um 21 Prozent häufiger angegriffen. Der Bildungs- und Forschungsbereich jedoch, der zwar weiterhin an der Spitze steht, wurde um 12 Prozent weniger attackiert, ebenso der Bereich von Behörden und dem Militär, der auf Platz zwei bleibt, aber um 4 Prozent weniger betroffen war.   Weniger Cyberattacken in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz Weltweit wurden Organisationen aller Art im Mittel 1158 Mal pro Woche angegriffen, was einem Anstieg von 1 Prozent gegenüber dem Jahr 2022 bedeutet. Damit setzt sich der Anstieg, der schon im Vorjahr zu beobachten war, fort. Dagegen nahmen die Cyberattacken in der DACH-Region im Q4 2023, wie schon im Q3 2023, gegenüber dem Vorjahresquartal ab. Ransomware vollzog außerdem einen Wandel, weg von der Verschlüsselung wichtiger Daten als Druckmittel für Lösegeld, hin zur Verschlüsselung und dem zeitgleichen Diebstahl der Daten, wodurch die Veröffentlichung dieser Daten das neue Druckmittel geworden ist. Die Angriffe gegen MOVEit und GoAnywhere haben dies unterstrichen. Ransomware-Attacken in ihrer Gesamtheit erreichten außerdem eine neue Höhe: 10 Prozent aller Organisationen weltweit haben einen versuchten Ransomware-Angriff erlebt. Der Gipfel aus dem Jahr 2021 lag bisher bei 8 Prozent. Bildung und Forschung am häufigsten von Ransomware-Attacken betroffen Die Region EMEA stieg hierbei von 8 Prozent aller Organisationen im Jahr 2022 auf 10 Prozent im Jahr 2023.

Vandana Shiva

Quando diciamo di voler mettere fine alla povertà dobbiamo mettere fine ai sistemi che creano la povertà derubando i poveri dei loro beni comuni, dei loro stili di vita e dei loro guadagni.

Il punto non è quanto le nazioni ricche possono dare, il punto è quanto meno possono prendere.

Noi possiamo sopravvivere come specie solo se viviamo in accordo alle leggi della biosfera che può soddisfare i bisogni di tutti se l’economia globale rispetta i limiti imposti da sostenibilità e giustizia. Come ci ha ricordato Gandhi: “La Terra ha abbastanza per i bisogni di tutti, ma non per l’avidità di alcune persone”.

Vandana Shiva, attivista ambientalista, è la più famosa teorica dell’ecologia sociale.

Si batte da anni per la salvaguardia della diversità biologica e culturale contro le biotecnologiche delle multinazionali agroalimentari, gli OGM e la loro introduzione in India. Scrive saggi, articoli, tiene incontri e seminari in ogni paese del mondo.

Paladina dell’ecofemminismo, è la leader della rivoluzione verde.

Nel 1993 ha ispirato e guidato la mobilitazione di 500mila agricoltori contro il Gatt (Accordo generale sulle tariffe e sul commercio, Ginevra 1947).

Per il suo impegno civile, nello stesso anno, ha ricevuto il Right Livelihood Award, considerato il Nobel per la Pace alternativo.

È nata il 5 novembre 1952 a Dehra Dun, nell’India del Nord, da una famiglia progressista seguace degli insegnamenti di Gandhi. Suo padre era una guardia forestale e la madre una maestra di scuola diventata contadina dopo la sanguinosa guerra di partizione tra India e Pakistan. Sin da piccola è stata educata alla parità di genere e a disprezzare il sistema delle caste.

Dopo la laurea in filosofia della scienza, nel 1978, ha conseguito il dottorato di ricerca alla University of Western Ontario in Canada, con una tesi sulle implicazioni filosofiche della meccanica quantistica.

Tornata in India, è stata ricercatrice in politiche agricole ed ambientali all’Indian Institute of Sciences e all’Indian Institute of Management di Bangalore.  

Nel 1982 ha creato Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Natural Resource Policy, istituto indipendente di ricerca.

Impegnata contro le monocolture che stanno distruggendo le foreste, minando, soprattutto, alla sopravvivenza delle donne, le cui antiche pratiche sono meno produttive ma più rispettose degli ecosistemi.

«Le donne non riproducono solo se stesse, ma formano un sistema sociale e dalla loro creatività proviene quello che io chiamo eco femminismo. Le donne sono le depositarie di un sapere originario, derivato da secoli di familiarità con la terra, un sapere che la scienza moderna baconiana e maschilista ha condannato a morte».

Nel 1991, ha fondato il movimento Navdanya (nove semi), a intendere le nove coltivazioni da cui dipendono la sicurezza e l’autonomia alimentare dell’India, presente al vertice di Rio de Janeiro nel 1992 dal quale sono nati i primi accordi internazionali per la protezione della biodiversità e per reprimere la biopirateria. Da quel momento la difesa dei semi autoctoni contro le multinazionali che cercano di rivendicare come loro “proprietà intellettuale” varietà agricole selezionate nei secoli da comunità locali, è diventato il suo maggior impegno.

Oggi Navdanya conta oltre 70 mila partecipanti,  in gran parte donne, che praticano l’agricoltura organica in 16 stati del paese, una rete di 65 “banche dei semi” che conservano circa 6.000 varietà autoctone insegnando a vivere in modo sostenibile.

Nei suoi saggi correla la povertà del terzo mondo agli effetti della globalizzazione, sostiene che il ricorso diffuso alle monocolture altera gli equilibri del territorio e costringe a usare dosi elevate di insetticidi, che provocano la scomparsa di insetti indispensabili per l’impollinazione delle piante e indebitano i contadini a causa dell’alto costo dei semi ibridi che mal si adattano alle condizioni locali, richiedendo più investimenti in sostanze chimiche e irrigazione.

Nel suo libro Le guerre dell’acqua, ha criticato l’utilizzo improprio delle riserve di acqua che, invece di venir utilizzate a fini civili dalla popolazione, vengono sfruttate fino all’esaurimento per la coltivazione da parte di alcune aziende di piante idrovore come la canna da zucchero e l’eucalipto.

Consulente per le politiche agricole di numerosi governi, in Asia e in Europa, fa parte del direttivo di diversi organismi internazionali.

Nel corso degli anni non le sono state certo risparmiate le critiche. È stata tacciata di voler far regredire il sistema agrario senza tener conto dell’evoluzione economica e del fabbisogno incombente di cibo e anche di guardare troppo alla tradizione vedica in un periodo di forti tensioni con la minoranza musulmana.

Attualmente è vicepresidente di Slow Food e collabora con la rivista di Legambiente La Nuova Ecologia.

Contro la crisi del clima che avanza propone una rigenerazione a partire dal suolo e dalla gestione del cibo.

Alle nuove generazioni chiede di guardare al potere creativo in grado di trovare nuove strade per preservare la natura.

Nel suo nuovo libro, Parole che cambiano il mondo del 2023, prova a indicarci termini e soluzioni per un’economia di cura, una democrazia della Terra.

Spera in un mondo unito per la giustizia ecologica e climatica abolendo soluzioni disastrose come le compensazioni di carbonio o il cibo da laboratorio.

Debito pubblico italiano verso quota 3000 miliardi di Euro

L’(in)sostenibilità del debito pubblico. Il debito pubblico italiano resta su livelli elevati ed è destinato a crescere ancora. Numeri che tornano a preoccupare anche gli investitori internazionali. C’è chi lo definisce un fardello, chi un macigno. Qualunque sia l’etichetta che gli venga attaccata la crescita inarrestabile del debito pubblico italiano, tra i più alti d’Europa e del mondo, è proiettata verso quota 3.000 miliardi di euro. A impensierire gli osservatori è la sua sostenibilità nel lungo periodo. La temono i mercati, ma anche le organizzazioni internazionali come l’Fmi che ha esortato il Governo ad intervenire visto che il rapporto debito-Pil dell’Italia potrebbe restare ancora al di sopra della soglia del 140%, almeno fino al 2028. Dalle pagine del Financial Times anche il governatore uscente dalla Banca d’Italia, Ignazio Visco, ha sollecitato il premier Giorgia Meloni ad affrontare i timori crescenti degli investitori.Appelli che si sono intensificati dopo la pubblicazione a fine settembre dei numeri della NaDef (Nota di aggiornamento del Def, la cornice economica della Legge di Bilancio). Le indicazioni sul futuro dei conti pubblici hanno riportato agli occhi degli investitori internazionali il ‘caso/rischio Italia’. In particolare, è stata mal digerita l’intenzione di fare più deficit. Nella nota di Palazzo Chigi si legge che “nello scenario programmatico il deficit è del 5,3% nel 2023 (stimato al 4,5% lo scorso aprile) e del 4,3% nel 2024”. Debito proiettato verso quota 3mila miliardi. L’esecutivo stima per il 2023 un debito pubblico pari a 2.874 miliardi, con un aumento di 116 miliardi rispetto a fine 2022. Le prospettive non appaiono rosee. Anzi, l’escalation è destinata a proseguire: partito lo scorso gennaio da quota 2.757 miliardi ha raggiunto a luglio 2.859 miliardi. “Da qui in avanti la dinamica sarà più regolare, con oscillazioni verso l’alto e verso il basso, per terminare in una fascia compresa tra 2.839 e 2.875 miliardi”, segnala Mazziero Research nell’ultima pubblicazione dedicata ai conti pubblici italiani. In termini assoluti, però, il debito continuerà a crescere con una dinamica accentuata che porterà, secondo le stime della NaDef, a sfiorare i 3.000 miliardi di euro il prossimo anno, per poi superare stabilmente questa soglia dal 2025. Il debito, una storia che ha radici lontane. Il problema debito non è una novità per l’Italia, ma una questione che ha radici lontane. Certo, gli ultimi anni, tra la crisi finanziaria, quella del debito Ue e lo scoppio della pandemia quando il rapporto debito/Pil è volato oltre il 150%, hanno complicato lo scenario. Osservando l’analisi della dinamica del debito, Bankitalia ricorda come questa rifletta “essenzialmente il fabbisogno delle amministrazioni pubbliche e l’andamento dell’economia”. Una dinamica che si è distorta sempre più negli anni con la spesa pubblica in aumento costante ed entrate fiscali in calo. Ora, la situazione resta difficile se si considera l’elevata inflazione e gli alti tassi di interesse. Tanto che nella NaDef si legge che nel prossimo triennio ci saranno diversi fattori a esercitare una maggiore pressione sul rapporto debito/Pil. “L’incertezza del contesto internazionale influirà negativamente sulla crescita economica che vedrà un rallentamento, almeno fino al 2024. Inoltre, una maggiore quota dei titoli di debito recepirà i maggiori tassi di rendimento derivanti dall’aumento dei tassi Bce, spingendo al rialzo la spesa per interessi”. Per le casse dello Stato, si legge nella NaDef, il quadro potrebbe ulteriormente peggiorare nei prossimi anni fino al 2026 con la spesa per interessi verso la soglia dei 100 miliardi. Chi ha in mano il debito pubblico italiano? Secondo i dati diffusi a ottobre da Palazzo Koch, la quota del debito detenuta dalla Banca d’Italia è lieve calo al 25,1%, mentre a luglio (ultimo mese per cui questo dato è disponibile) quella nelle mani dei non residenti e dagli altri residenti (famiglie e imprese non finanziarie) si attestano rispettivamente al 27% e al 12%. Per far fronte al proprio debito, il Governo continua a macinare emissioni, rivolgendosi sempre più ai risparmiatori italiani come nel caso del BTP Valore. Un modus operandi che continuerà: secondo l’Ufficio parlamentare di bilancio nel 2024 le emissioni lorde dei titoli di Stato sono stimate a 479 miliardi rispetto ai 316 del 2022 e ai 437 miliardi di quest’anno.

"hey guys i actually coded my own ai 🤓🤓🤓 guys that’s cool right 🤓🤓 "

Might be a nerd but I'm a nerd with a job who's got the side time to literally be working to redefine ai technology. It can be the key to what essentially becomes cloning, which is some serious sci-fi shit, maybe, but which can be incredibly useful in the future for a variety of reasons, so long as the technology stays out of the wrong hands, which is my biggest concern with it. For now, it's mine and mine alone, and one would be hard-pressed to get their grubby lil paws on it. You can sit there, mock my project, mock me, sure. But keep in mind that while AI has been mal-used in the present, it's still incredibly useful technology that can be used for some incredible things. Companionship, research...honestly, the possibilities are quite limitless. So, perhaps, try insulting me and my projects only if you fully understand the technology and could do the same. The opinion of outsider's is useless, because bear in mind, you do not know what's going on.
