Fresh off his victory in a center-left primary over the weekend, French presidential candidate Raphaël Glucksmann slammed Donald Trump’s decision to ease restrictions on Russian diesel exports as a move that benefits the Kremlin at Europe’s expense.

While you're entitled to your view, its not unquestionable. Consciousness as defined is > a tool that replies to human prompts in a discursive manner, as trained by them, using data its plugged into. The fact that it can Fake An Organism* to some observers' satisfaction doesn't mean its self aware.

I cannot help but notice that leftist groups do not, for the most part, demand that all lefty Catholics only attend churches that dissent from the teachings of the Church hierarchy on abortion and queer rights. They broadly understand that sometimes one has a cultural link to people with bad views.

re "Zionism is racism" - it's a cornerstone of British equality law that discrimination need not be intentional for it to be discriminatory I'm not making *legal* claims about the Green Party motion - but a policy that would render the vast majority of Jews as personae non gratae is flatly racist

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."

Yes, and the "nothing has changed" narrative often convinces some people that "nothing CAN change", demotivating potential activists. Impatience at rate of change is force for good, but denial it happens isn't.

As part of the "Zionism is Racism" motion which the Green party will be voting on at conference, there is a specific section which says that members of the Green Party who are members of 'Zionist Synagogues' should be kicked out. Efforts to amend this language were rejected at a "party workshop".
