Pope Leo says, “The speed and ease with which answers or summaries can be obtained risk extinguishing the desire to ask questions.” Almost alone among public leaders, he recognises that AI threatens to abolish curiosity, making human beings more like machines.

Sociologist Richard Sennett wrote a wonderful book about the value of hand craftsmanship in his 2008 book The Craftsman. He traces the long history of why people have valued handmade goods for hundreds of years, even through periods of major technological or industrial advancement, and weaves together an engaging intellectual history involving figures like Aristotle and John Ruskin.

One of the book’s recurring themes is the value of imperfection. Sennett notes that the authors of the Encyclopédie praised the “character” of handmade goods, such as the slightly irregular bubbles in hand-blown glass bottles. He connects this idea to Voltaire, who warned us of the relentless pursuit of perfection. If we learned to embrace these imperfections, Sennett suggests, perhaps we would develop more realistic expectations about life.

This creates an interesting tension at the heart of craftsmanship. A good craftsperson strives to make something as well as they possibly can, yet must ultimately accept that perfection is unattainable because they are imperfect, like all human creatures. Toward the end of the book, Sennett discusses craftsmanship in religious terms. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, he notes, excessive pride is a sin because it risks putting the self in God's place. In this sense, the craftsperson embodies both aspiration and humility.

In Sennett's framing, craftsmanship is not necessarily about whether a machine can replicate the results, but about a human's role in production and what that process can teach us about ourselves. It's not just about materiality, but also spirituality.

The proof that the so-called Kenyan mainstream media are part of a criminal syndicate is the glaring fact that none of them has mentioned that this fat Zimbabwean, Chivayo, was a CONVICTED criminal who spent 3 years in a maximum prison for FRAUD and MONEY LAUNDERING and was a PROMINENT and SERIAL SMUGGLER and a member of an international criminal syndicate.

They refer to him as a “tycoon”, a “businessman” and a “philanthropist”, but everyone knows that he was just a celebrated criminal—like all the others.

This is where the CEO of Flock, apparently lives. He promotes mass surveillance and says he doesn't want to get publicly exposed.

[Michael @TheMG3D]

Can you believe Flock CEO Garrett Langley doesn’t like his picture shared online?

[Hannes Bend @hnnsbnd]

I didn’t know impunity until I came to Kenya and met their elite. Nothing like them. Shameless, ruthless and yet so cowardly hiding behind the “we’re poor Africans” internationally to grab more money.
And the kind and patient Kenyan citizens are supposed to eat the “all countries are bad” narrative, keep working hard.
Hopefully soon the citizens have had enough of their elite’s bs

[Todd Hagopian | Stagnation Assassin @ToddHagopian]

This guy is the CEO of Flock

He takes pictures of you and hands them over to the cops

But, he doesn’t want you to know what he looks like

PLEASE do NOT share his photo!

This is insanity, or worse, treason. I served in the CIA Counter Espionage Group. Israel was our number two espionage threat, stealing secrets from us at every turn. I caught one of these attempted penetrations.
If the Senate passes this, every one of them who voted for it should be tried for treason - By the people.
Clean out the House and Senate and fumigate the Capitol building.

I suspect we're approaching a time where if you want to protect creative work, it has to be something that can't be digitized. AI has made is so that creative works speed run through the lifecycle from cool to cliche in a matter of months. This contributes to our cultural stagnation, making it hard for real creators to produce something with meaningful, lasting effects on other real creators. Everything becomes a meme, which is to say meaningless and trite.

the "double tap" strike where Israel not only kills someone but then kills first responders is one of the most twisted and sickening things human beings have ever done to one another

[LindyMan @PaulSkallas]

Today a Palestinian State is necessary. Not for moral or ideological reasons, only for pragmatic ones. A portion of America's elite class has gone rogue. They are now dedicating their immense wealth and power into solely one issue. The promotion of the state of israel over the the American people.

This has manifested in Trump's war in iran, censorship, banning artists from stadiums, getting normal people fired, sending politicians tens of millions of dollars in campaign races for israel, making sure congress ends billions of us tax dollars to israel every year.

It's a huge problem. The US political system is not built to handle a rogue elite who puts the interests of a foreign nation over the interests of America.

The only way to stop this group is to get leverage over them. To put a check on their power. A Palestinian state lets the US discipline this group by taking land away from Israel. Right now there is no check on their power. It's a big problem.

BREAKING: The holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial has broken his silence, saying eight fellow jurors behaved like “activists” who wanted her found not guilty on Day 1.

Michael Desronvil said he concluded Clancy was guilty based on the evidence presented in court.
