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."

Watching Howard Hawks’ RED LINE 7000, which has George Takei and Marianna Hill in the cast, along with a short cameo from Teri Garr. And if all that Star Trek firepower wasn’t enough - I just spotted Eddie Paskey here in blue with sunglasses right in front of Hill!

This is indeed remarkable. It also raises the question, if James Talarico can utterly reject the GOP's scaremongering fascist anti-immigrant framing & successfully promote "immigration is good for America", why can't he reject anti-trans scaremongering too?

New, from me: Once memory-holed, DOGE is now the subject of revisionism. To better understand why DOGE failed, I talked to people in the civic tech movement that DOGE displaced, who continue to offer the alternative model for how to modernize govt. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/doge-vs-ci...

Have to disagree in that the only reason LLM and AI are considered interchangeable by many people is because of the BS hype, so in this case the very fact they consider it AI (reliable digital intelligence instead of powerful in narrow fields LLM oops tech) was the cause of the almost major issue.

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.
