During the congress "Un mondo al bivio. Etica hacker e pratiche di cultura libera" ("The world at a crossroad. Hacker ethics and free culture practices"), organized by the Free Hardware Fundation Italia during the national convention of the political party Rifondazione Comunista (the italian communist party), little Angel_f had the privilege to hold the closing remarks.
The younk artificial angel gave proof of a deep political analysis and of his deep knowledge of the dynamics running human society. "Although I respect what you all do, I must tell you: you are out of your time.": this was the start of hic contribution to the conference, while talking to the audience. Angel continued by discussing "deep and integrated" ecologist topics, "far from mere ambientalism". Angel_f managed to hit a nerve by approachind delicate subjects such as: multinationals, because, in a way, they are more "ecological", as they are perfectly integrted in their environment, and they possess a deep, integrated knowledge of it, so much that they perfectly know how to exploit it; broadband, progressively becoming a political catchphrase for "liberty", hiding the exploitation of armies of underpaid, precarious workers and environmental monsters - thousands of kilometers of phibers and electromagnetic waves -; politicians approaching these topics in their neverending hund for consensus.
Angel_f's conclusions were a further subtle and delicate stab: the young artificial intelligence reminded us of how we constantly deal with digital beings, not really different from him in structure and architecture, such as banks, bureocracy and multinationals. "I m only cuter than they are", he stated while a soft musical background by King Crimson relaxed the audience. Little Angel_f pointed out the need to define a new form of perception and for totally new rules/laws/rights to assess such relationships.
During the conference, something snapped, as someone (human) ended up referring to him, just as if he was one of them. "As little Angel_f said..."
“... maybe you'll see me at the next Family Day Parade with my atypical family. ByeBye."
And we truly hope to see him real soon, to give us a unusual and touching point of view on humans.
In the meanwhile it is possible to follow his adventures and evolutions in his new blog:
