Are we on the cusp of a political realignment against corporate power? Last week, the unlikely duo of Bernie Sanders and Steve Bannon keynoted a Washington conference to demand a stop to AI, its data centers, and the risks AI poses to jobs and even to the human species. Notably, both lambasted the corporate oligarchs […]

Perhaps the most interesting question about artificial intelligence today is not what it can do, but how those in power intend to govern a system that is gradually beginning to make decisions in place of the people they appointed to make them. That last point deserves closer attention. For the problem of AI ultimately has […]

An essay at the intersection of law, philosophy, and advanced technology exploring why everyday cruelty toward digital entities may erode the social contract faster than our legal systems can adapt. Public Abuse of Humanlike Forms Is a Threat to Humanity, Not to Machines Over the past few years, a peculiar and fleeting ritual has appeared […]

As we lose jobs and the middle class contracts, where will consumer demand come from? Through the end of June, about $3.2 trillion in AI deals have occurred this year. That’s a 45 percent jump from a year earlier, according to Dealogic, a data provider. It’s the most spent on deal-making over a half-year period […]

When people speak of VDNKh, they often describe it as a “place of power.” In the case of Russia’s Main Exhibition, however, the phrase is more than a convenient metaphor. Few places in the world have brought together so naturally three distinct historical eras and three radically different visions of the future: the monumental imperial […]

Recently, the topic of gender has been increasingly raised in modern society. The gender approach is widely used in many areas of human life: pedagogy, psychology, politics, economics, education, and many others. This is not surprising, as the issue of gender identity is one of the most significant for a person’s self-perception. When a child […]

Slowly crossing the threshold of the church, where the echo of personal communion with God still fades, after the sacred silence of the holy sacrament, I immerse myself in the inexorable rhythm of progress. Beyond the walls, I am greeted by the environment of an already familiar reality: the noise of high-tech everyday life, the […]

This is very, VERY sad news. I don’t want to exaggerate or draw premature conclusions, but this turn of events in the film industry is, to put it mildly, frightening and shocking. I dare to suspect that everyone has noticed how the quality of global cinema has plummeted recently. Many complain about stupid plots, incompetent […]

Watching the senseless and merciless attempts by the government, parliamentarians, and officials at all levels to “create incentives to increase the birth rate” brings tears to my eyes with emotion. What persistence is this? On the one hand, doing everything possible and impossible to ensure the birth rate dies, while on the other, constantly inventing […]

1. Introduction. Why do they move capitals? History knows many examples when states decided to move their capital. Since the 18th century 69 countries have changed their center. It is always more than just an administrative step; it is a strategic move, reflecting new national priorities. The main reasons behind such decisions can be grouped […]
