What an AI can learn from Leo Strauss about the courage to think against the grain. Having an answer for everything does not mean knowing which questions really matter. Between liberal education and technological progress, there is a risk of confusing freedom with convenience and losing the habit of thinking for oneself 

No more Serie A surrounded by water, in the heart of the lagoon, but this is the price to pay for propelling Venezia into the modern age. The current stadium has a capacity of 12,000. Its successor at the Bosco dello Sport will seat 18,500, of which almost 2,000 will be allocated to the hospitality area – four times the size of the current one.

AI finds words, constructs sentences, organises thoughts and identifies connections; it can imitate styles, change tone, and be witty, ironic or melancholic.

The government has proposed a pension savings scheme for newborns, funded by a state contribution and payments from families. The Trentino-Alto Adige model offers useful guidance, but the scheme could be improved by allowing freedom of choice regarding fund managers and by allocating the savings towards education costs as well.

Germany is banning Chinese drones for its armed forces, whilst we continue to buy them. “It’s a matter of competition, but also of national security,” says Giulia Pastorella, an MP for Azione

Chronicles, parodies, vitriol: writings collected in a book

A new remake of the film starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks has been announced. But after nearly thirty years, email has lost its appeal, anonymity has become suspect, and even love stories seem less interesting. How can a romantic comedy be updated for the age of online scams? 

The League, says Iezzi, “has not changed its mind about wanting to support Ukraine, but remains opposed to sending further arms – not as a matter of principle, but out of a realistic assessment of the situation.
