“Las empresas de IA necesitan justificar y atraer inversiones $ masivas. Al hablar de la IA como aquello que sólo ellos comprenden y pueden controlar, los tecnócratas posicionan a la IA como un fenómeno apocalíptico para legitimarse ante la sociedad y ser los ‘profetas’ a solucionar" [su] futuro. 🔥

… in an ideal world we could avoid that, if everyone gives willingly and spontaneously. But we don’t live in such a world. So unfortunately it has to be compulsory. And my point is that an organised system may be more effective. Coordination. Maybe also more just: fairness principles can be applied

I got that, but wanted to shift the center of moral gravity to the (potential) recipients: worry more about them. And make sure they are helped effectively. But I acknowledge that modern institutions incur risks of dehumanisation (givers + receivers), lack of motivation, evasion of responsibility

An organised system of social security and aid does not exclude spontaneous acts of kindness and compassion, but does not let the vulnerable entirely depend on it for their well-being and survival.

For those who don't follow me on LinkedIn. I have read and loved @coeckelbergh.bsky.social's book on self-improvement. It's finally given me rational arguments for my gut feeling which goes totally against this whole wellness capitalism stuff. www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

Em artigo que comenta a Encíclica do Papa Leão XIV, @coeckelbergh.bsky.social evidencia os pressupostos cristãos e humanistas por trás da publicação papal, criticando algumas das posições assumidas no texto a respeito da distinção entre IA, humanidade e transumanismo. 👇 www.ufrgs.br/carbono/2026...

Mark Coeckelbergh: "O humanismo cristão não supera seu dualismo humano-tecnológico, talvez porque veja a redução dos humanos a máquinas, tal qual o transumanismo, como a única alternativa. Nesta encíclica, somos apresentados a uma dicotomia entre uma visão antropocêntrica e uma visão na qual os humanos são dominados pelas tecnologias, sem conseguir imaginar formas alternativas de conceber a relação entre humanos e suas tecnologias."
