The reason people love the Ea-nāṣir story is less the vitriol and more the fact that we couldn’t be more culturally different from a 4000 years dead Sumerian but we can totally relate. It shows us that no matter our superficial differences people are just people.

I know most of you guys don't go on the other app but the pope posted an anti AI/ pro artists statement yesterday, and the ensuing cope and memes is really funny

Pope Leo XIV
@Pontifex

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent 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.

2016: I will never fight a holy war

2019: Pope Leo I am ready launch me towards the nearest data center

some AI guy saying he makes christian children's books with AI asking the pope if that is ok then and someone posting a meme react with the pope holding a baseball bat saying 'did I stutter'

Something AI is responsible for that doesn't get enough talk: How, when it scrapes a website to illegally steal everything on it, it uses up a ton of its bandwidth allotment, crashing it or racking up massive fees for site owners.

has anyone else noticed that the classic sci fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus features a Torment Nexus? That's pretty problematic of the author

firestorm09890
the main character eventually recognizes the torment nexus is bad but by that point I had already stopped reading the book because I don't condone the torment nexus, the narrative really should've condemned it outright :/

some-sort-of-humanoid-lifeform
Really it's also problematic that you started reading it, at all. I mean, good on you for stopping when you realized but if you were *really* a good and decent person you would have read reviews first and known not to even buy it in the first place.

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

I did a somewhat deep dive into the recent OpenAI and Anthropic "hacks" for an upcoming interview. IMO, the AI companies are better off running with the "rogue AI" story because the real story is actually pretty embarrassing. Like making your Wi-Fi password "wifi" embarrassing. 🧵

Doomerism is lazy. It's giving yourself permission to not try. It's a privileged take, which is why I overwhelmingly see Doomer content from white men. Everything can be done. The future is not yet written. We have agency, can do something. We ARE doing something. Millions of us are moving.

I wrote this quickly at a bus stop and didn't realize it would go viral, or else I would have worded it better. But the point is that the media is too credulous about AI killing everyone in 10 years (how?) when climate change is killing people now and will only get worse (we know exactly how).

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

This is all accurate, and the fact that Denethor didn't immediately go insane and start worshipping/working for Sauron immediately after catching the eye's attention is an attestation that he had incredible willpower, which was only worn down by a psyop over months/years.

Labeling entire accounts “adult” and hiding them, no matter what they are posting, will inevitably suppress vast amounts non-explicit political speech around sex work and censorship.

It feels bleak and it gets me down too but it feels very akin to the temperance movement. I believe in better days and that they'll happen as long as we keep trying. These are some of the oldest industries in the world ans their censorship, while intense right now, support has also never been louder

The transphobic wave worldwide is about defining and enshrining [hegemonic which in the West manifests as white] womanhood, which places heavy emphasis on mandatory heterosexuality, reproduction, and acquiescing to being exploited as such with a smile. Trans women are being made an *example*.

This is obscene. Fuck the NYT.

I haven’t wanted to work with the Times for a few years now, but I found it hard to say no. We shot the first season of Cooking 101 when I was between 34 and 36 weeks pregnant. Part of the shoot was done outdoors in August where the temperature climbed above 90 degrees. I ended up in triage where doctors determined that they had to induce because working in the heat caused my blood pressure to reach dangerous levels. My hopes for a natural delivery were shattered all for six YouTube videos at $800 each. None of those shots aired. I was never informed why, but can only assume that it would have been a bad look to open the episodes with a sweaty, heavily pregnant woman about to pass out. I should have said no then, but I was afraid of being difficult.
