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."

Baudrillard: "It is no longer a question of imitation, nor of reduplication, nor even of parody. It is rather a question of substituting signs of the real for the real itself... Never again will the real have to be produced: this is the vital function of the model in a system of death"

Using AI helps people get higher grades and get their work done faster, but they learn less & suffer on actual exams I saw this in my own large Intro Psych class: -the exam average is 85% -after AI, it shot up to 95% -after I made the final in person it went to 68% www.economist.com/graphic-deta...

If I wasn't retired, I'd be going deep on LLMs to avoid getting fired, and remain marketable. However, I wouldn't allow an LLM to do work for me without eventually learning how to do it too. I'd use an LLM as a tool, not a replacement. I'd also start contributing to an open weight model as a hedge.

In equal parts 1) risk tolerance and 2) these people aren't as online as you; so, they may be underestimating risk, but you may be overestimating it.

read the whole article. 10% is people that earn a living full time as gig workers. 16% is people that engage in any form of gig work (moonlighting)

after all the layoffs in 2025 + 2026 do you think gig work has increased or decreased from 16% I bet it’s over 20% now, that’s 1 out of every 5 people. I’m not even saying it’s horrible work, I’m just asking for some nuance in Will’s takes—there’s a lot to unpack in these aggregate stats

000

Sean MacRae @seanmacrae.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

so 5 out of 5,000 people work gig jobs? that’s 0.1%… less than half of one percent according to your math. According to BLS in 2024 16% of employment was gig work, which would be 800 out of 5,000 people. I’m not assuming everything’s horrible, but let’s be honest here.

Sean MacRae @seanmacrae.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

now look at how employment is measured, look at the mix of jobs, at wages… you know gig work is considered employed but is very different work from what employment looked like in 2007. you can absolutely have job deterioration for workers with the unemployment rate staying low.

Sean MacRae @seanmacrae.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Now don’t just look at that metric in isolation… you’re almost there… how about wages, home ownership, cost of childcare, number of families with two working parents… it all needs to be considered together to get the full picture
