DEEP FAKE REALISTIC BY AI

Can you believe that is not Tom Cruise? It’s an incredibly accurate deepfake created by the AI startup Metaphysics. Metaphysics created AI content generation tools and infrastructure that lets users own and control their biometric data – and they built “DeepTomCruise”, a TikTok account showing off their Tom Cruise deepfake, that has 5 million followers today. The company just announced that they’d be working with Hollywood producers on the film “Here”, starring legendary Tom Hanks and Robin Wright using the technology to present younger versions of their characters. The lines of reality and AI-generated content starting to blur more and more. We’re starting to see it in the entertainment and other industries. Soon, it will be impossible to distinguish with our human eyes whats real and whats AI-generated? What do you think of this development? What do you see as potential advantages and risks? Let’s discuss it in the comments.

HUMANITARIAN HELP

The war in Ukraine further exposed the problem of big “charitable” organizations – especially the International Red Cross – and charity in general on the part of Western countries. Expired medicines meager portions of humanitarian aid, corruption – all this existed before this year. It’s just that Ukrainians have more opportunities to record what is happening than people in African countries with less access to the Internet. But the question of the right to existence of charity as such also appears. As today’s events show, it’s needed at critical moments (war, natural disasters, the spread of dangerous diseases), but when you have organizations with nice offices and expensive cars that have been sending humanitarian mineral water to children in Africa for decades – maybe it needs something to do with poverty rather than donate money to bureaucrats?

WHAT WANTS GOD?

On a gray day like the ones that exist in these terrible winter days (in a nearby town the temperature has reached -30 degrees Celsius) and we are in Italy and a winter so cold has never been seen before and there is little gas and it costs too much and wood and other fuels have a much higher price, and I wake up in the morning and I look at the sparrows singing and they only have a bush to take refuge in and I don't know if many of them are dying and I put seeds and I think the choice is up to us. We are the ones who have to help others, we are the ones who can donate, love, food, shelter, to people and animals. I believe that God wants this, I believe that God wants us all to pray but also to do something important. So I go out and try to bring a smile, even if I'm sick inside me, because I suffer from anxiety and panic attacks, but I don't want anything to stop me from doing good. And so I hope you do too. Peace and serenity to you all.

THE GRACE OR A CHANCE?

“I will not express my opinion, but I have promised to conduct this survey. Should Assange and Snowden be pardoned?” So Elon Musk returned to probe the mood of the Twitter audience a few days ago. The new owner of the social network, opening the votes of a new poll, asked users if the founder of Wikileaks and a former employee of the US National Security Agency should be forgiven. Assange helped release classified documents about war crimes committed by US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
17 counts of indictment hang over him, each worth 10 years in prison, for a total of around 175 years in prison, for revealing, via the Wikileaks platform, state secrets about the so-called US "wars on terror" in the Middle East exposing the crimes against humanity committed by the West in Afghanistan, precisely, and Iraq.

And speaking of revealed secrets, Musk kept an old promise and unveiled the "Twitter Files" which tell how the previous management of Twitter has come to the conclusion of limiting and blocking access to the New York Post article on "secrets ” contained in Hunter Biden's personal computer - from his private life to his foreign affairs - in the days leading up to the 2020 elections. The Tesla owner does not publish the documents directly but grants access to Matt Taibbi, the ever-critical journalist of online and media censorship, with which it implies that it has collaborated in the evaluation. Taibbi in a long series of tweets describes the contents of the cards viewed, attaches some of them and reaches his conclusions. In tweet number 18 he states: "Twitter has taken extraordinary measures to suppress the story" of the computer of Hunter Biden of the New York Post "by removing links and warning about what could be 'unsafe'. They have also blocked its direct transmission via message, a tool reserved for extreme cases such as child pornography". The documents shed light on the internal Twitter debate on blocking the article, highlighting the dissent and confusion over a decision later defined as wrong by former Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.

The US administration did not like some of the businessman's tweets about the war in Ukraine that were too close to Putin and is considering checking his activities.
The US government is considering subjecting some of Elon Musk's companies to a national security check. These include Twitter and the satellite network Starlink.

As reported by Bloomberg, the need arises from concern over the tycoon's recent threat to interrupt Starlink satellite services in Ukraine.

The Biden administration also did not appreciate some tweets by Musk deemed favorable to Russian President Putin.

And while the doubts on the part of the US government are dissolving, Musk is preparing a cleaver cut on Twitter's workforce: his intention is to reduce the staff by 75%, going from the current 7,500 jobs to around 2,000.

MERLIN

Many believe that Merlin is just a character in the Arthurian sagas, while in reality we find the first traces of him in Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum Britanniae, written in 1136 AD. Although part of this text is an historical account of the birth of the kingdom of Britain, Merlin was included as a fictitious character (although probably the author wanted to present him as a figure from very ancient and lost texts). He was initially a paradoxical character, on the one hand he was the son of the devil and on the other a devoted servant of God.

Geoffrey was inspired by the prophet and madman Myrddin Wyllt of Welsh mythology, fusing him with the British commander Ambrosius Aurelianus, creating a powerful spellcaster called Merlin Ambrosius. The same monk Nennius in his Historia Brittonum used a character called Ambrosius.

In the Historia Brittonum, the usurper Vortigern wanted to erect a tower, but before being completed, it collapsed inexorably. His diviners told him that to prevent this, he would have to sprinkle the blood of a child born without a father on the foundation. Ambrosius (who had been conceived in a mysterious way and therefore it was believed that he did not have a father) was therefore brought before Vortigern and explained that the tower continued to collapse because two enormous dragons, one white and one red, were dozing beneath it. they represented the Saxons and the Britons. Ambrosius therefore convinced Vortigern that the tower could only be built if he himself had been elected in charge of those lands, and so he took possession of it.

Without forgetting that Merlin is also the guardian of the Holy Grail, the cup that heals from all evil. It was he, in fact, who planned the enterprise when Arthur fell ill and his knights were in league with each other on the verge of civil war. The wise sorcerer, rather than allowing the king to drink directly from the sacred chalice to save him, decided to send the knights to find out where the relic was hidden and, after finding the Grail, he appointed Parsifal guardian of the precious object.

Merlin as well as a great key figure in many events linked to the Round Table and the famous Sword in the Stone, was also a "magician in love" with the beautiful Viviana, whom he met in the forest of Brocèliande, a fascinating place, sacred to the Celts, the wood of the fairies and of mirages which corresponds to the real forest of Paimpont.

Legend has it that Merlin was in Benoico on a mandate from the king and, on his return, crossing the aforementioned forest, he met the wonderful twelve-year-old lady of Lake Viviana at the Fairy spring, with whom he fell in love.

A very strong feeling blossomed between the two and the magician, as a sign of devotion, promised the girl to reveal all his secrets, except one, and to seduce her he gave her proof of some of his charms that conquered her.

Viviana, in love in turn, gave the magician the gift of youth.

When by now Arthur's kingdom seemed lost forever, Merlin decided to reveal even the only secret he kept jealously hidden and it was at that point that she, drawing magic circles around the good sorcerer, made him her prisoner, and she with him, bound by this eternal and indissoluble Love.

Today, it is said that the miraculous water of the Fairy spring, where Viviana and Merlin's strong love resides, boils as the visitor passes as a sign of greeting and good wishes, and would be a good cure for the ailments of the soul and of the mind troubled by sorrows.

Merlin, therefore, ultimately becomes an emblem of healing and a symbol of absolute Love.

A sort of deus ex machina, through which the resolution of problematic events takes place, but also the unexpected that shakes consciences and leads Good to always win against Evil.

It is the victory of the light that inexorably defeats the darkness!

BULLYING IS NOT A JOKE

This society is becoming increasingly violent because the message that passes is that only if you're smart, if you're arrogant, you win. And so the one who bullies gets things done while the others play by the rules and are forgotten. Mass media and movies pass a message of struggle, fighting, aggression, violence and violence. How many movies have you seen that didn't include fights? Superheroes always fight, physically. So the message that gets through is that bad guys can only be defeated with more violence. But victims of bullying don't ask for help, they don't fight back, they don't tell anyone. At school everyone knows and everyone is silent. Bullying at school still exists and the right methods have not yet been used to fight and defeat it. Bullying has been talked about for years but neither adults nor children still know how to defeat this scourge.
There is a new trend that is taking hold in social media and that is to channel all the hype about violence, bullying and "entertainment". People who insult each other online, threaten each other, slaps that fly, "fans" who just for a little visibility go to offend or even worse attack the live streamers.
There is a basic problem in all of this: the streamers themselves are the perpetrators, not just the victims.
Having the power to communicate, unite the masses, be followed by thousands of people is not something to take lightly because you want or don't want those who follow you to emulate what you do. Saying "it's not my fault that dude does this or that" I just do "entertainment" is like throwing the rock and hiding your hand, behaving like the worst politician. What scares me is that violence, sexism and racism are defined as "joke".
There's no need to elect yourself as champions of justice when instead of raising awareness and educating those who follow you, you only give vent to a show full of violence and devoid of civic education. Because when you blare the cash register on the bus and you insult, curse, threaten those around you just because someone RIGHTLY feels annoyed by an insult or an orgasm in the cash register, how can you expect to be "entertaining"? What message do you give to young people? What makes you feel so powerful that you think all of this is right because you are "working"?
Because we are in a world where education is obviously being badly outclassed by "I do what I want, when I want, because I'm free to."
Does being free mean being able to say what you want or does it mean being able to feel safe wherever you go without someone insulting, hitting or disrespecting my time and space?
