I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

At a really fundamental level Leo XIV is just a person with sound, well-reasoned, moral stances on the world and how life should be lived who isn't afraid to say those things in public. That kind of person simply does not make sense to business leaders and politicians for whom speech is convenience.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the seventh richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

I never understood this fully until Covid: actual circumstances that doomsday preppers should have embraced...and they just couldn't. They'd spent years in maladaptive daydreams about hunting other humans and couldn't come to grips with the fact that they just needed to mask up and stay home.

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.

The Democrats defend the Kennedy Center but not trans people.

@treewarrior.bsky....
maybe because defending everything about a super small minority of the population is not worth losing to fascists

A reminder that the Kennedy Center isn’t just a performing arts center, it’s a memorial to President John F. Kennedy and only an evil vindictive vile weak depraved narcissistic pathetic subhuman would spend every waking day trying to deface it and completely destroy it out of spite and jealousy.

The bellwether for any politician should be "human rights for everyone." Because if human rights don't apply to ALL humans, then they aren't "human rights" they're just demographics to manipulate for political gain. Empathy is a prerequisite, not an optional trait.

Republicans frame any discussion of income disparity as 'communist' or 'socialist' to hide the fact that any economic philosophy, including capitalism, can be (and in the U.S., has been) subordinated to a wealthy few that only seeks even more power at the expense of those that actually do the work.

My main takeaway was that trying to scientifically define biologically distinct competition categories of “women” and “men” is always going to be a nightmare and deeply harmful because human sex is complicated and people cannot (and should not) be forcibly categorized through sex testing.

13. Hence our dismal conclusion: rather than finding that LLMs free us to do a better job of what we were doing before they came along, they shift scientific incentives (and the playing field of academic competition) in ways that compel us to do more and more, faster and faster, less and less well.

I got two: Trump is ineligible to be president under the 14th amendment thus all his pardons and executive orders are null and void. also, it cannot possibly be the case that the Founders intended the pardon power to be a viable criminal conspiracy tool. pardons in service of crime are void as well

Maybe we should pivot to pointing out that many other countries that report high qualities of life are also significantly more socialist than what DSA is advocating for. They enjoy greater levels of freedom and upward mobility than we do and their economies are capitalistic as well.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.
