@GhostOnTheHalfShell @albertoBerteño Around 1992 I setup a small Bulleting Board called "spAIn BBS" hooked a couple telephone lines to USRobotics modems so people could dial in. We had a lot of fun back then, learning, sharing ideas and code with an emerging Free Software community.

Machine learning, decision support or pattern recognition alogrithms (eg, for medical imaging systems) have been around for many years and no one denies their benefit, but today's reality is different.

Bigtech is hijiacking the spirit of open science to make it big business. While GAFAM - with their devices and proxies in our media and govts- try to portray the ideas of scientific revolution and liberty in our society, is exactly the opposite. They are consuming an absurd amount of computational and environmental resources to manipulate people's minds for their non sancta agendas.

Just look around, the hype of AI has been around for some years and yet we have more social gradient, more obesity, more diabetes, more injustice, and more devastating wars.
