Now that the debate about whether to leave the X network because Elon Musk is Elon Musk and the network is a hornet's nest of boats and perverts has gone out of fashion, I still haven't found an answer and I've only said to myself "go where your heart takes you", which is also the title of a novel by the Italian Susanna Tamaro about her clean-up. Despite the tacky title, we liked it. I haven't gone back just in case. But I'm running away from the studio. Although it's not by chance that I'm talking about the 90s. The thing is that after reading articles and listening to arguments from people I respect, and despite everything or the little reasoning I'm capable of, I've come to the conclusion that the only thing that's happened is that the networks have been completely unmasked and that it doesn't matter if they're run by a vein and a fairly true edge, to ensure that we have no escape. Woven by powerful spiders, but above all arrogant and vulgar, we look for arguments to stay or to leave these networks because they are no longer what they were. But social networks are what they were and, if you like, something worse. A study by the University of California has concluded that hate speech on X has increased by 50% since Elon Musk became its owner. And I add that Elon Musk, apart from raising his arm, exposes one of his young children around the world and, in addition, he has given the creature a robot name, X Æ A-Xii. What does the protection of minors do? Women? Anyway, we return to the networks, because now that we know all the damage they do, we must also recognize their capacity to make complaints of injustices. viral and something has changed in the world, however small. The range of voices and languages has expanded. And yes, hatred has made a hole. It always makes a hole, the bastard. Like additions. And we talk about it because it's hard to let go.
The people in charge of technology are individuals with dubious principles, somewhere between sexist and chauvinist, and defenders of the ideology of one's own pocket, like so many other people who are not responsible for anything. If we had to do or undo based on the ethics of one company or another, consumption would decrease a lot, money would return to the tiles and mobile phones would be a matter of four. Does it make sense to leave X and stay on Instagram, whose man has problems with women's nipples and who adapts to political changes as long as they don't make him change his shirt? Does it make sense to follow us and not talk to us?
When AI is fully operational, people will be just people again, and the debate about networks will be old and ridiculous. That's what happens when you move so fast. When a steamroller is crushing all your analog memories, another one comes along that crushes your digital ones. Like the networks, we are also getting older. In the 90s we went where our heart, or alcohol or drugs took us, but not a viral video. The analog pace was much slower than the digital one. Waiting for photos to be developed. Looking for the destination on a paper map. Insults were only received on the street. We are in the first third of the 21st century. We choose to give explanations and it is not necessary. Just like, sometimes, when you have been caught with a detestable speech, it is much worse to justify yourself than to have given an opinion on a certain subject. It is curious how in such an apparently advanced era making a fool of yourself still wins in recognizing errors. This could be a tweet. But I still don't know whether to leave or stay.
