Glad to see Michael Rosen gets the scale of the crisis facing HE and is calling out @ucu.org.uk leaderships inadequate response. (Why was there gloating on X about having won the best stall at labour conference??? Bizarre)

Put it this way: if the Greens, Kneecap and Gary Lineker are prompting enraged all-channels screaming fury but e.g. an army seizing, depopulating and ethnically cleansing southern Lebanon of its racially undesirable populace doesn’t make anyone blink, then I am going to conclude - bullshit

Cat hammock outside a Venetian restaurant for #Caturday. (This was two years ago - sadly this year the hammock is still there, but the cat is no longer keen to use it. Maybe one beer too many )

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 centersome 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'

The first poster featuring the Michelin Man, aka Bibendum, designed by O'Galop in 1898. The slogan "Nunc est bibendum" means "Now is the time to drink." Bibendum toasts with a goblet of nails and broken glass while rival tires slump beside him, because the Michelin tire "drinks up the obstacle."

Sat next to a crying baby for the entire flight. I don't mind though. Feel like they were the only other passenger who truly grasped the unnatural horror of our undertaking. Man does not belong to the sky. The real monsters are those who remain silent.

I actually get my information from people who understand exactly what it is and why it’s a fucking autocorrect slot machine that does nothing but extract. This is hot garbage. Just because I have ethics and a spine doesn’t mean I don’t also engage critical thinking. Slop boosters don’t.

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."
