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."

Re-upping for the morning crew. We got stuck with massive legal expenses and need some help, if there’s any help to be spared.

Just taught two humanities papers on epistemic justice to a class full of science students. They were very receptive and offered meaningful reflections. Some might even apply this knowledge to their practice and research. TEACH HUMANITIES TO SCIENCE MAJORS!!!!!!!!!

Is it because they openly muse about replacing humans with technology as if human beings were a problem to be solved through elimination, is it that.

fields. Instead, he apparently laced into the company. According to the Financial Times, Eggers told the staff:

“The effect of ChatGPT on educators’ lives is catastrophic. Whether you intended to do it or not, you’ve made every teacher’s life infinitely more difficult than it was two years ago. So, just let that settle in… If students are using it to compose, which is the biggest tragedy of all, they’ll never learn to write. And their voice is stolen from them. They’ll never have the ability to say their truth and tell their own story. And that’s silencing an entire generation or two.”

My main worry is that we’re banning social media for kids but not AI. So you can’t speak to real people online anymore, kids, but you sure can talk to your fake artificial friend who weirdly loves to talk about taking your own life!

valid to criticise but honestly I think it's worse: I think he is lying. I think he got into politics because he exposed himself to public comment on Twitter and kept getting his ass kicked in every post I think he's scapegoating her now to reframe his choices as acts of conviction for his family

Feels flippant to use the term Streisand Effect here, but that's what happened. Japan ensured a statue very few people would've seen and even fewer would've understood won't be put up, and instead people all over the world are going to read about their system of sexual slavery during WWII.

"Among young American men, the strongest predictor of support for the tradwife lifestyle was not gallantry but hostility towards women" Apparently this is not what researchers "expected". Which makes one wonder: had these researchers thought about it for 30 seconds? www.thetimes.com/life-style/s...
thetimes.com
Tradwife movement ‘attracts men who are hostile to women’
The strongest predictor of support for women staying at home and deferring to their husband is not, as researchers expected, chivalry but ‘hostile sexism’

In capitalist terms: the only market the predator class couldn’t completely corner was the knowledge market. AI made that possible. Learning is like putting money in a high-yield savings account. Using AI is you giving your money to the rich and powerful and keeping none for yourself
