😬 I'm not following Italian politics but if a Brit says this I'm going to assume definitely not great
The country’s leader, Giorgia Meloni, has injected Italy with a shot of optimism and national pride. Most of the locals appear to approve of her – I’ve only heard hysterical American expats wail about her being a “fascist”.

What a great intro
He gives me a smile that makes me sad that I’m not his dentist and a handshake that makes me glad I’m not his guitar. He gently twists his wrist until he has the upper hand literally. For the rest of the interview, he may have it figuratively too.

As expected, the default message of yesterday and today has been, “Political violence is unacceptable.” Agreed. However, the rest of that message keeps getting cut off. The remainder reads: Militarily occupying American cities to quell a crime wave that isn’t happening is political violence. Attempting a coup that features “hang the vice president” on its to-do list is political violence. Pardoning nearly a thousand offenders who committed that political violence as a reward for it and to intimidate your opposition is political violence. “Swatting” your political opponents is political violence. Bomb threats for doctors, abortion clinics and facilities performing gender-affirming care is political violence. The Supreme Court eliminating the Fourth Amendment for Latinos is political violence. Black-bagging people — lawful American residents or no — and shipping them to torture prisons in countries they aren’t even from is political violence. There will be no unanimity of message today on any of those; for most, we will be fortunate if it earns 50% uptake

"AI is a conversation-shaped tool, used to create some of the benefits of a conversation in the absence of another person."
AI is a conversation-shaped tool, used to create some of the benefits of a conversation in the absence of another person. But with too much dependency, they risk making real reciprocity, sharing, and vulnerability even rarer. We ought to strive for the opposite: to create meaningful connections to others with our conversations. When we don’t, our already weakening skillset for connection and empathy might atrophy even further, as we resign to expectations of superficial exchange. When we do, we make the world larger and more richly connected and our lives more worth living.

Oh my God it keeps getting worse
As generative AI matures and avatars become indistinguishable from their human counterparts, we may not need to show up to 1:1s at all. Instead, we’ll delegate them to our digital twins—hyperrealistic, fine-tuned, emotion-simulating versions of ourselves, trained on our past performance reviews, Slack tone, and leadership competencies. Imagine logging into Zoom and seeing your boss’s AI twin nodding empathetically at your AI twin, while both exchange perfectly polite updates and preapproved feedback. The meeting ends, the logs are summarized, and the human versions skim the transcripts over lunch,

Even the emotional dimension of 1:1s—the human check-in—is being digitized. AI tools like Microsoft Copilot or Reclaim.ai can summarize conversations, flag coaching opportunities, and recommend follow-ups before you’ve even had your morning coffee. Platforms can infer burnout risk from calendar density or written tone. Want to know who feels neglected or disengaged? Ask the algorithm, not your gut.
