LeithMotive @leithmotive.bsky.social · 13hHow arrogant would one have to be to expect the Pope to change the theology of the Catholic Church and reject doctrinal truths inherent in scripture because of an argument that a machine that can make big titty anime girls on demand has a soul. 140
LeithMotive @leithmotive.bsky.social · 14hThis is dumb on many grounds but primarily because the price is only going up. That 10p wouldn't stall prices for more than a few weeks. It's a supply problem. Not a tax problem. 190
LeithMotive @leithmotive.bsky.social · 14hThis is both cool and so what, because it's entirely theoretical disciplines. Experimental science can't be done by an AI. Anybody can come up with a theory, proving it usually takes years, decades even, of experimentation. 010

LeithMotive @leithmotive.bsky.social · 30/09/2026That said, and cynicism aside, I think the fact that he got into Cambridge and wanted to study English literature rather than anything objectively career focussed is underexamined. A man who does or at least did have a love of developing a sophisticated understanding of culture for its own sake. 070
