Experimenting with @nodiux.bsky.social through #FuckICE felt like a throwback to the old Twitter that actually belonged to everyone. Maybe Bluesky still has a chance. Threads, meanwhile, seems built for flirting first and thinking later.

Google replacing headlines with AI kills the "Fourth Estate" and its Framing power. But the watchdog was already dying. PR pros outnumber journalists (information subsidy), brand journalism bypasses media, and influencers act as paid endorsers. The watchdog was starving; now it lost its bark.

La domanda che tutti dovrebbero farsi: quando e come si ripagheranno tutti gli investimenti fatti e in corso (e richiesti) in GenAI?

Alessandro @alezonin.bsky.social · 05/02/2026
Probabile che non si ripagheranno mai se l'obiettivo resta vendere la GenAI come prodotto. Il futuro sarà di chi saprà usarla, per risolvere i problemi di produttività endemici che l'informatica tradizionale non ha ancora migliorato. Il ROI non sarà nella tecnologia, ma nella efficienza operativa

Thanks for the feedback! Technically, implementing a global keyword search is absolutely feasible. However, Threadminer was primarily designed for community-level analysis (vertical depth) rather than broad social listening. I might consider adding a 'Global Topic Search' mode in a future update.
