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."

You maybe don't want to hear it but you may need to accept that you need theologians to effectively fight this particular fight.

for millennia you would spend your life dreaming of an audience with the pope and today, through the miracle of technology, Jesus Returns Movie can talk to him with the press of a button and he uses it to say “has his excellency considered the Minions”

What about the Minions? Hundreds of humans working together to bring Entertainment to life... Does the Church Approve of that? Or is that a NO-GO?
Cartoons, Stop-Motion Animation, CGi... they're ALL in the same category. (Now, add Ai Films to it.) They're NOT traditional movies, they are something else... simply PURE entertainment. The Church now DECIDES what
TOOL Creative HUMANS are using?

and there’s a gif of two minions hula dancing in grass skirts that fall down and show their undies.

St Paul, to Timothy (and also to ask Christians living in today's idiot media ecosystem): "Have nothing to do with foolish, ignorant controversies; you know that they breed quarrels." [2 Tim 2:23]

I attended a presentation at a university where they estimated that 3% of undergrads over the course of their degree had experienced any kind of sexual harassment up to assault. Maybe that stat holds but it sounded to my ears like a harmful form of wishful thinking.

Sports journalism, as a rule, is a cursed field of superficiality, tribal logic, and rushed deadlines. This searing piece by Gavin Cooney about the courage of Gavin Bazunu and the abject failure of every associated leader is the opposite: www.irishtimes.com/sport/soccer...

For years, my best friend has been suggesting I need to recognize that being a "soccer fan" is to push behind a system that is fundamentally malignant. It's harder and harder to deny him his point. All solidarity with the workers considering industrial action in Debrecen.

while whatever political vendetta was carried out in national papers in past year, Peter is present in 100s of these stories due to Government failings "...he turned to Fr Peter McVerry, who had once helped him with a place in a hostel as a homeless teen, and who helped him again as an adult."

It's always been interesting to me that popular culture (appropriately) adores this movie and yet largely doesn't notice that it is a very faithful elaboration of the Christian nativity narrative through the lens of Isaiah 9:2.

The Hard Right's deepest resentment may be directed at the unyielding Christian commitment that all human beings share an intrinsic dignity that binds us into a single family irrespective of nationality, language, class, culture, ethnicity, gender, sexuality or any other manmade device on offer.

What are we to make of war in an age of drones, money in the time of cryptocurrency, and work when AI seems to threaten almost every job? Does the long tradition of Christian Ethics have anything to say about these questions? Come along to these sessions and find out!

The only correct take on the astroturfed Magicians Nephew-Greta Gerwig-Aslan-played-by-Meryl Streep culture war kerfuffle is that people who still deny that Narnia isn't great kids' literature or - even madder - that CS Lewis wasn't a great writer, are the ones we should really pity

This is precisely why hundreds of experts demanded that during Ireland's presidency of the EU our country not be allowed to handle tech policy. Ireland is the trojan horse for US Big Tech lawlessness in the EU. It's really as simple as that.

This extraordinarily articulate woman is clearly being marginalised by the people she thought were her friends and neighbours because she refuses to to give into the fear-mongering of racists. The UK is in a very precarious place culturally and politically. The journalist doesn't realise this.
