C’est en fait le paradoxe de Tocqueville qui nous éclate à la figure.
Dans l’un des pays qui redistribue le plus au monde, le pays qui égalise le plus les conditions objectives d’existence, qui donnent le plus de chance à tous, qui donne culture, éducation et enseignement supérieur gratuitement à tous, qui respecte le plus les droits de l’homme, dans ce pays de cocagne donc, une part significative de la population est persuadée qu’elle vit dans un enfer d’injustices et de violences systémiques.
Comme l’avait très bien montré Tocqueville, plus il y a d’égalité, plus les inégalités qui restent deviennent insupportables. Notamment parce que la société méritocratique, par rapport à l’ancien régime fondé sur la naissance, a cela de terrible qu’elle rend les gens responsables de leurs conditions.

This is a very interesting idea ...
Thrilled that #paper2agent is published in @nature today!
Scientific knowledge is traditionally stored in passive papers. Paper2Agent transforms papers into virtual authors that answer questions, apply its methods and collaborate w/ other paper agents to make new discoveries 🧵

Edgar Morin ému aux larmes à l'écoute de "Liberté" de Paul Éluard. En octobre 2024, sur le plateau de la Grande Librairie, Joanne Samalens-Lagardère, gagnante du concours "Si on lisait à voix haute", lisait ce poème devant le philosophe.

Cet article du FT -Could America win the AI race but lose the war? - est l'un des plus brillants de tout ce que j'y ai lu au cours de cet année. Ecrit par Tim Wu, l'ancien conseiller de Biden en matière technologique, il observe combien l'univers de l'IA remet au goût du jour les travers qui avaient caractérisé la bulle de 2000 : la certitude que AGI (ou la super intelligence IA) va sauver le monde sans vraiment avoir autre chose qu'une vague idée de la façon dont elle sera mise en oeuvre. "L'AGI est notre alchimie, notre quête philosophale" explique sans ciller Marc Andreessen. La croyance est assez généralisée que bientôt, "nous serions aussi radicalement différent de notre passé humain que nous, les humains, le sommes des animaux inférieurs". Difficile d'y voir autre chose qu'une résurgence du messianisme qui saisit régulièrement les USA et plus encore la Silicon Valley, avec les conséquences que l'on sait.
Surtout lorsque l'on observe, comme le fait l'auteur dans le même temps que les USA ont pratiquement arrêté tous développements dans le domaine des technologies de transition énergétique et plus généralement que le financement de la recherche fondamentale y a baissé de plus d'un tiers. L'auteur souligne d'ailleurs que c'est là une différence fondamentale avec la Chine qui elle continue d'accroitre ses investissements en recherche et dans la transition. Il note en comparaison que les enjeux de monopole aux USA dans ces technologies d'IA sont réellement inquiétants et doivent être combattus, pour les risques de rente que cela induit mais aussi pour la fragilité que cela crée de façon structurelle pour l'économie américaine.

Academic writing isn't about sounding smart. It's about being understood.
