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.

For a long time I've wanted a sense of how trump has or hasn't interacted with chatbots (we know he posts a lot of slop sure). And this TIME anecdote about Grok arguably leading Trump into war is just extremely bracing

Since returning to office, Trump has marveled at AI’s capabilities. He is increasingly in thrall to the tech executives courting him. In December 2025, Elon Musk returned to the Oval Office for a clandestine meeting. Trump spent hours asking Grok, Musk’s AI chatbot, questions about his presidency and legacy, according to an official present. At the time, Trump was ordering missile strikes against Venezuelan boats he alleged were smuggling drugs into the U.S. He asked Grok how Venezuelans would react if the U.S. captured Maduro. According to the official present, the chatbot responded that Maduro was a repressive and deeply unpopular dictator and that many Venezuelans would likely celebrate his downfall. After Trump ordered the mission to seize Maduro, the following month, celebrations broke out in the streets. Trump, according to officials, came away thinking Grok was ingenious.

Feels like skipping past the Civil War and World War II are sorta big tells here? I wonder why he doesn't want to talk about the times the US military waged war against white supremacists. Probably a totally innocent explanation, right? Right?

Yeah this is the clearest declaration of how they intend to use AI. They're going to program it to say whatever they want and half the country will just accept it. Musk is already doing this with Grok.

NYT not putting Andor in the Top 10 at least is ridiculous. I get that every one has their preferences and tastes (mine is obviously biased towards sci-fi/fantasy), but Andor was a massive achievement in television for writing alone.

This isn't photoshopping. The two photos are using completely different angles. The news photo is likely press pool. The lower angle photo is likely their own photographer. Yes, there is retouching and AI clean up involved here, but they are completely different photos as well.

The real worry is not the next two years, but the 2-4 after that. If this is a bellwether, we are never going to get the real, serious, major institutional reform that we need to make sure that this era of lawless authoritarianism doesn't happen again, even if we get a Democratic president in 2029.

With the midterm elections shaping up to be a massive reckoning for the Republican Party, it's worth remembering that they had a fairly easy offramp from Trumpism in the immediate aftermath of the January 6th riot but they completely chickened out.

This is absolutely right, but the key is that Republicans would be the ones to force the issue. Many Democrats just refuse to take the open shot at Musk. He's a ripe, rich target, and an obvious way to dramatize key issues and mobilize key voters, but some of them are still sitting on their hands.
