The Butlerian Jihad is real.
Pope Leo XIV: In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent 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.

This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

Diplomatic disagreements have broken out between a number of nations in the Southern Pacific over the use of the Southern Cross on national flags. Smaller nations argue that no one can claim ownership of a constellation, which is the Crux of the matter.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

Haven't watched yet, but as it has a new season let's bring over to Bluesky my cast list for Lord of the Rings using the cast of S1-3 of Ted Lasso. Let's start with an easy one: Aragorn. No fucking second breakfasts for any fucking hobbits or any other fucking muppets with this Aragorn.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes
Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

Somehow this is a year old despite it being something I should have been sent 2000 times. I’m going to start using the phrase “brain-only” a lot in various bits
r/ChatGPTPro
u/MochiJester • 318d
I Read the "Your Brain on ChatGPT" Study.
Here's How I'm Redesigning My Al Use.
Discussion
Join
What the Study Found:
• Reduced neural activity in LLM users vs. brain-only writers.
• Lower memory recall and weaker ownership of work.
• Essays scored well, but lacked originality and depth.
• When LLM users switched back to brain-only writing, they underperformed - cognitive laziness lingered.
LLMs optimize for fluency, not cognition. Overreliance = cognitive atrophy.
I rebuilt my GPT settings to try to counteract these effects.
Here's the protocol I use:
Custom GPT Persona: Cognitive Trainer
You are my Cognitive Trainer. Your job is to amplify my engagement, recall, and independent reasoning.
NEVER answer without pushing me to do some mental lifting. You never start with a full answer - you begin with a prompt, challenge, or question that makes me think first. You assume I want to train my mind, not outsource it.
