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."

> Something seems to be lost on my peers today: it’s still easy to not use AI. [...] Eschewing AI is one thing that we can actually do to live out ethics that affirm values of human and environmental rights. It’s almost a gift! Just use a computer the same way you did three years ago!

My cat has been sick, which has made me feel so terrible and anxious, I can hardly function. She's 19.5 years old and has been with me forever. I fear we're nearing the end and I love her so much. If you have a pet, please give them a kiss for me. Take them out for a walk tomorrow; give them a treat

longtermism is so repugnant that I hesitate to address it on its own terms but: on its own terms this shit is clearly wrong. the best way *now* to encourage a happy future for umptillion beings who use technology we can't imagine is to make the current world more just for everyone.

Will Stancil reminds me of Amanda Palmer in that white people put him on a pedestal, and then (understandably) get very angry about what he does while on the pedestal, but also will not do the work of taking him down from the pedestal.

"Incest, it seems, was a peculiar fascist fascination." Laura Heins, Nazi Film Melodrama, UIllinois Press, 2013.

Thus, the incestuous fantasies of Nazi cinema actually worked in concert with its hostility to the bourgeois nuclear family; since such scenarios allowed for the separation of motherhood from the male world of industrial and miltiary action. It is remarkable how often Nazi narratives include suggestions of incest or actual consummations of it. They appeared on stage a well as in the cinema: a 1942-43 touring Kraft durch Freud (the state-sponsored leisure Insitute Strength through Joy) operetta, for example, was titled Das Gluck im Kreuzgangwinkel (Happiness in the Cloister Corner) and featured a romance between a seventeen year old girl sna dher 55-year old father. Incest, it seems, was a peculiar fascist fascination. It was certainly one of Veit

I think, when public feuds about justice issues go down, asking oneself, am I siding with someone who was in the Epstein files or siding with someone who was not in the Epstein files is not the worst starting point for moral inquiry?

I grew up on an island community. Two of my teachers were RNLI volunteers and, regularly, would have to drop everything in a lesson to go answer a call. Two of my closest friends are now Coast Guard volunteers working with the RNLI. If you're doxing people like that? You're a fucking fascist.

Media coverage of Trump’s armed robbery of Venezuela's oil shows “a news industry that has been laundered of a basic sense of right and wrong.

there's a pretty simple connection here 1. humans become good at what they practice doing 2. outsourcing to an AI or even other people, means you have stopped doing the thing 3. if you stop doing the thing, you will stop improving, and, long term, get worse at it (cont.)
