Meet us down at the turf, let’s settle this @Obnoxious_gg

#AI can be a valuable tool and, at the same time, it calls for a measured and vigilant approach. The speed and simplicity with which practical assistance can be accessed undoubtedly makes life easier. Yet they can also encourage excessive reliance and the search for ready-made answers, and weaken personal creativity and judgment. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Christopher Nolan says #TheOdyssey has the "original superheroes":

"They are the original superheroes. Even comic book culture, whether you're talking about Marvel or DC or all the rest, a lot of it comes directly from the Homeric Epics. The thing about Homer is, nobody knows if that was a person. Homer in a way is the George Lucas, maybe, of his time… Homer is the Marvel of its day, that's the thing. It's very directly this desire for us to feel or believe Gods could walk amongst us, and I think the modern comic book is kind of our expression of that."

Starting in 2027, smartphones sold in the European Union will be required to have user-replaceable batteries designed for greater durability and more charging cycles.

Manufacturers must also provide spare parts and repair manuals for at least 10 years after a model is released.

This is real pressure against planned obsolescence. It should mean phones that actually last longer, cheaper fixes, and a lot less electronic waste piling up. About time.

This is why artists are important in our society. Otherwise you have a bunch of tech and finance bros with the personality of a slab of wood telling you to “keep hustling”

[MT @MasterTainment]

Hell yeah. This is exactly what I wanted.

Start slow. Let them grow.

Just like the Avengers.

You don't have to immediately pop off with the Chris Claremont roster.

They should introduce characters like Storm and Colossus in other non X-Men projects before throwing them on the team.

[Jake 🌹🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @ToryWipeout]

So what's the point in Reform exactly?

[Christina Garnett @ThatChristinaG]

The real lesson should be that people want new stories with great characters and hope.

We want to feel something.

[Robert Kearney @Robkearney1981]

Zuppi was considered a serious contender for pope before Leo was elected last May. That means he carries a lot of weight in the Church, so something like this can't be considered a private, spur-of-the-moment decision on his part but an act that has full Vatican backing.

OpenAI is shutting down its AI video slop-making platform Sora.

[Marvel Studios @MarvelStudios]

Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery will return for Marvel Television's #WonderMan Season 2, co-created by Destin Daniel Cretton and Andrew Guest, coming to @DisneyPlus.

[Bark @barkmeta]

Let me get this straight…

OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit. Open source. For everyone. “To benefit humanity.”

Then he raised billions of dollars.

Then he closed the source code.

Then he converted to for-profit.

Then he scraped the entire internet without asking anyone.

Then he used YOUR writing YOUR art YOUR code to train his models.

Now he’s on stage saying you’ll pay HIM to access intelligence. Just like a water meter.

He stole all of your data. He built the product with your work. And now he’s going to bill you to use it…

Corporate greed has reached an all time high, and they’re not even hiding it anymore…

[5hahem @shaTIRED]

The things possible when you prioritize development and people over billionaires and profits is wild, wish my country wasn’t a capitalist hellscape

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

[𝐃𝐈𝐆𝐁 @_DIGB]

This should be front page news but it doesn’t sow enough hatred, division or fear amongst the general population

We are an island addicted to fucking misery

The reason why RAM has become four times more expensive is that a huge amount of RAM that has not yet been produced was purchased with non-existent money to be installed in GPUs that also have not yet been produced, in order to place them in data centers that have not yet been built, powered by infrastructure that may never appear, to satisfy demand that does not actually exist and to obtain profit that is mathematically impossible.
