We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Pope Leo XIV: "Among these ideologies, I consider particularly insidious the one that suggests that every person must earn or justify his or her own worth, to the point of attributing greater value to those who are more efficient or effective. From this perspective, persons end up being reduced to a means of achieving results, a resource to be used and exploited, and are no longer recognized as a proper end in themselves who should never be instrumentalized. The value of persons, however, does not depend on what they achieve or produce. There are rights that apply to everyone simply by virtue of being human, and no human power can legitimately deny or arbitrarily limit them." #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

With particular affection, in the light of the risen Lord, we remember today Pope Francis, who, on Easter Monday of last year, returned to the Lord.

Australia was not established as a nation-building project.

It was established as an extraction platform.

The British did not colonize Australia to build a civilization.

They colonized it to extract l; first convict labor, then wool, then gold, then minerals, then gas.

The political architecture was built around that extraction logic from day one, and it has never been restructured away from it.

You assume the state exists to serve the population, and therefore bad outcomes must mean the state is being run poorly.

Australia is not a sovereign state that happens to have a mining sector.

It is a private sector extraction platform that happens to have citizens.

Every Australian who “owns” a home is servicing a debt instrument that enriches the FIC.

The minerals get dug up by foreign-owned multinationals.

The profits get distributed to global shareholders.

The taxation office is structured; by design, through decades of lobbying, to ensure the extraction proceeds leave the country with minimal sovereign capture.

The politicians are doing exactly what the structure requires of them: absorbing public anger, rotating every few years to reset the pressure valve.

Australia is not mismanaged. Australia is managed perfectly,

just not for Australians.

@AlboMP This is pathetic. Our country is nothing but a US military base under your weak leadership.

@CarlZha Second. You forgot about Richard Marles.

BREAKING: Trump reportedly to unveil plan in Davos allowing 401(k) use for home down payments.

[Jkhan @FKJkhan]

Remember: this is just a theory and it's pretty paltry in comparison to the international landmine we're standing on top of. But we're heading to a year where the AI Bubble seems about to burst and take US economy with it. If I were bourgeois, I'd be scheming like this too

Conspiracy time: Most of y'all would've seen Maduro (possibly) being kept at a facility in New York. My gut says two birds, one stone strategy is at play here. Keep Maduro locked up whilst using him to split the local socialist/soc dem movement.

[Jkhan @FKJkhan]

Those on Zohran's right will have there their raison detre to significantly move against him if he disrupted the detention in any material way. Whilst those on Zohran's left will be provoked by any lack of significant action. The perfect split fomented.

@Vertumne1 Bold of you to assume they have the time to create, let alone raise, children.

[reylo cultist @GizSkyriser]

You know how Tolkien was describing Melkor as someone who cannot create life on his own, but only twist and distort what's already been created. That's how orcs were made from elves. That's what Iger is doing with animation.

[Jkhan @FKJkhan]

@KyleKulinski @KamalaHarris She knows that. She does it anyway.

charlie kirk opposed the civil rights act, called george floyd a scumbag, said he’d be worried abt black pilots & that he’d force his daughter to carry a pregnancy to term if she was raped.

he shouldn’t have been killed but he def was an extremist.

[Anonymous @YourAnonNews]

There are many reasons why the left wouldn't want to murder Charlie Kirk. Hell, we thought it was entertaining to watch him go to various universities to debate students and get owned over and over. He looked like an idiot, it was fun to watch. Why would anyone want to kill him for that?
Charlie Kirk was a fucking meme to the left. He was entertainment. People would watch him and laugh, "damn this dude just got his ass handed to him, what an idiot."
Charlie would double down and lose even more ground in the debate. The crowd would laugh at him.
No one on the left wanted him murdered. His views were shit, his ideology was beyond stupid - but he had every right to think and believe what ever the fuck he wanted to believe... and people had every right to tell him to stuff his stupid ideology up his ass. But the left / dems etc. didn't want him dead - he's a prime example of the stupidity we're all fighting against. He was literally THE example. You don't kill examples. You promote the example and show it's flaws, and why that example is not the best path... you point to it and say "Don't be like that. Don't be a bigot."
He outlived his usefulness to someone. Whoever killed Charlie Kirk was a professional who knew what they were doing. That's some BlackOps shit. One shot. One kill. Leave without a trace / blend in with the crowd. Highly planned out. Almost as if it was state sponsored.
