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."

The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction etc etc, but man I'm really picking up what Leo XIV is laying down vis-a-vis AI. Inspiring and clear.

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy. ... They turn a blind eye to the fact that billions of dollars are spent on killing, on devastation, yet the resources needed for healing, education and restoration are nowhere to be found." Pope Leo XIV

Really looking forward to trying this out at #GenCon. I like the idea of new games using components folks already have - in this case a chess board and pieces. #boardgames www.kickstarter.com/projects/onl...

It is hard to name the kind of grief you feel as you watch the Christian movement that raised you continually justify the most vile things, all for the sake of power, influence, and money. It’s hard to name the grief of knowing that there is nothing so vile they won’t justify.

"We will fight for, the Cream and Crimson." If you were a kid in Bloomington in the 70s and 80s, this was the ad on TV that meant the game was about to start. It makes me feel a lot, tbh, to listen to it. Especially the laugh at the end.
