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."

ai use in art is criticized on principle while ai use in software is criticized on quality. this is because making art is good and making software is bad.

This 33-year-old nurse told the FBI she knew she was “going to set him free” after border patrol agents brought in a man whose face was bloodied and seriously injured. She treated him and helped him escape, and she faces charges now. He got away, and they never relocated him.

Wild to find out we got to drive the coolest, most fun EV on the market for almost two years, essentially for free. Even though we’ll be upgrading in reliability, anything else is a downgrade in whimsy. RIP ID Buzz.

<<cackles darkly>> How much of this tech bro shit is driven by the disappearance of female secretaries, who, let's be honest, kept a lot of companies running, and ability of wives to now say "No, time, honey, got a board meeting then school pickup, you gotta make the res for your mom's bday."

One thing that I think we shpuld always bear in mind when talking about why, say, liberal politicians fold so easily on trans rights is that a lot of cis people just desperately want to be transphobic and will seize on any excuse to do so no matter how flimsy.

underrated part of El-Sayed’s messaging strategy seems to be shaming journalists who ask dumb questions that play into right-wing frames. you can’t answer these in a way that satisfies them, but you can make it embarrassing enough that you impose a toll on asking.

Abdul El-Sayed: "Weijia, with all due respect, this is the third time you've asked about a Twitch streamer ... their whole game is to make us fight culture wars so that we don't pay attention to the fact the president has made $2.2 billion ... "

The Houthi-aligned Bani Hashish tribes are massing in preparation to “liberate” the remaining Yemeni territory outside Houthi control. It’s a sea of Toyotas with mounted machine guns. I think this is what we should mean when we say Toyotathon from now on.

This is the funniest shit. Florida allows religious exemptions for vaccines. Catholic schools in Florida: we require vaccines. Florida's attorney general, who is Catholic, is threatening to pull vouchers if they don't allow for religious exemptions The Bishops: separation of church & state

miamiherald.com

Catholic bishops remind attorney general about separation of church and state

“The government may not decide that Church teaching is insufficiently religious,” wrote the Florida Conference of Catholic Bishops.
