Let it be clear that I am not saying that AI does not have risks. It does, and we've been warning about it for years. But what has been happening these days is pure propaganda for a few rich people to create their own holding and "self-regulate" as and when they want. (translated)

It is observed that this entire process of exaggerated publicity taking advantage of the "Terminator effect" is aimed at us allowing companies with the ability to enter the lives of all people to "self-regulate." (translated)

By the way: blaming "the screens" for a drop in results in PISA is just a joke when there are countries with good results that have "screens" and use them a lot in education. (translated)

The long-awaited moment has arrived when people who do not know how the PISA report works talk a lot about it. By the way: let's pretend to be surprised that the results fall spectacularly in the first PISA with AI available to students. (translated)

Damage to a pillar of the archaeological site of the Alhambra by a young man doing parkour. (translated)

This is big news. (translated)

I add to what Ana said that, in addition to the looting, there was a planned and massive destruction of monuments and cities. We no longer remember everything that was lost because we have already known Spain without those monuments and works of art. (translated)

I am quite clear at this point about the very serious problems we have with a very dangerous rise in museum thefts. If someone really wants to solve it, I am sure that harassment on social media and anonymous insults to professionals will not fix it. (translated)

All the security experts are back from vacation. They are the same ones who a month ago were fire experts and three weeks ago were border security experts. Tomorrow will be another specialty. (translated)

Now that we are as alarmed as a country by the terrible theft of a great historical jewel like the Treasure of Villena, it would be a great moment for us to be even more alarmed by the daily theft of historical heritage that we suffer at the hands of detectorists. (translated)

I celebrate that there are people who NOW care about the resources available to museums. I have been denouncing it for six years. Welcome. (translated)

Don't be fooled: if they are only concerned about the loss of cultural heritage when they think they can use it to discredit a politician, from any party, it means they don't care about either heritage or culture. And they come to social media to give lessons to those of us who have been doing this for years. (translated)

Many people are suggesting that the most valuable works should be stored and not displayed, to avoid risks. Last year, hundreds of works were stolen from security warehouses of museums. More than 1,000 pieces in Oakland (United States). (translated)

The news that @vgolaya has given confirms what I have been explaining since yesterday: these robberies are after gold. That is why they have abandoned one of the two most historically valuable pieces: it is not gold. (translated)

We are facing a very serious problem. The demagoguery of a handful of troll accounts on social media, who neither know about museums nor care to know, does not help. The situation is very bad and we must be serious and work based on facts. (translated)

New theft in a museum. Same pattern. Today it has been one of the main museums in Vienna and they have stolen a diamond necklace from 1939 valued at approximately 4 million euros. (translated)

In fact, I remember receiving insults on this social network for denouncing from the beginning the reduction of funding for culture and its professionals since the pandemic and warning that it would bring serious consequences. Now I receive them from those who have agreed for years. (translated)

Seeing people who criticize public spending every day asking for more public spending now, very opportunely, when there is a theft in a museum, is becoming a scandalous spectacle. (translated)

By the way: if we are rightly alarmed that historically valuable pieces are being stolen from a museum, we should start to be alarmed that equally valuable pieces are stolen every day with metal detectors. The damage is the same, or greater. (translated)

Just three days after Europol warned about the rise in museum thefts, we woke up to the terrible news of the theft of the Treasure of Villena. We are going to analyze this problem and debunk some myths and rumors. THREAD 🧵 (translated)
