one of the twists in real world AI is that, in scifi, it was assumed that the danger would be that we'd raise the machine to the level of a human soul. but to be honest, it seems we're most in danger of debasing the human soul to the level of machine.

me in the Criterion Closet:

“Never seen this, but heard it’s great, and it’s free. Never seen this one either. This one I’ve only seen clips from, but again, it’s free. I’ve seen one movie in this box set. Never even heard of this one. And you’re sure it’s all free?”

[Peregrine @milkypiggybeans]

insane to me that being against all gen AI use full stop is apparently a radical take. every day my friends and coworkers who talk about their fears about AI turn around and immediately talk about using it for the easiest thing ever. do none of you have any kind of moral backbone

There's a huge myth that a ton of people are faking sickness for some social/financial benefit, but the reality is that most disabled/chronically ill people are actually pretending to be less disabled than they really are because that's what society wants.

It is not atomic weapons that generate #peace, but disarmament. This truth, which seemed clear in past decades when we witnessed a nuclear de-escalation, has been obscured by a race to armament that today frightens and terrifies.

Seeing one of gods most majestic and divine creatures, fight so valiantly against the destruction and rampaging of his home should do untold psychic damage to your psyche. We should be radicalized by this.

Probably the most disturbing thing you regularly encounter in America is how many people have been socialized to worship the profit motive as some sort of God that holds higher value than things like children being able to play sports

we can talk about boundaries, accountability, healing emotional wounds etc all we want. but if we don’t address the violence and harm that stems from ableism dressed up as “social norms,” we fail to see the true issue.

[elle 🐊 .⋆♱⃓ @fairlyoddfairy]

this is why i find the conversation around people pleasers supposedly being manipulative & spineless to be flat, reductive, harmful, & ultimately unhelpful. displeasing people can & DOES lead to consequences that disproportionately affects neurodivergent people.

Those who have lost their lives in the Mediterranean Sea are victims both of decisions that were made and of decisions that were not made. Indifference to the common good and corruption in their countries of origin; a global economic system that generates poverty and exclusion; fear that fuels prejudice and contempt; the belief that such problems do not concern us; the criminal calculations of those who profit from the suffering of others; the slow and difficult transition from mere emergency management to the development of comprehensive and shared policies. #PastoralVisit #Lampedusa

If technology becomes the ultimate criterion, the human person risks being reduced to data, a cog in a machine or a commodity. If, however, technology is integrated with a wise perspective, it can become an instrument of growth, justice and fraternity. #MagnificaHumanitas

Remember that SpongeBob episode where King Neptune made thousands of patties at once using magic and they tasted like slop, whilst SpongeBob’s single patty tasted amazing because it was made with love and dedication?

This is a post about AI

[Here's What I Reckon: @angryaboutbikes]

“It’s easy for me so it should be easy for you” is framed as some kind of no-bullshit straight-talking hard truth but it’s actually a complete collapse of empathy and the ability to see others you interact with as real full humans.

@gn6865 @pair0sock @voidpires Consistent inability to estimate the time it takes to do a task is literally one of the defining hallmarks of time blindness.
Now you're just describing the disability, and then labeling it as stupidity because you can't empathize with others that aren't like you.

[WydrA @XxWydrAxX]

@snoozepd @briarlovesweed @voidpires What does "quicker" mean to someone who, *by definition* does of properly understand the passing of time?
If it took 10 mins when you thought it would take 5, then "just do it in 5" you say. But someone with time blindness mightn't feel the difference between 5 10 and 1 min...

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

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

Dear writers, we need your imagination, your narrative creativity and your lively thinking. We need these to create spaces of freedom and authenticity, within which divine grace can make the promise of consolation and peace resound. https://t.co/FEmCrdQ392

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7

@DSSB124 @asuliinflesh @Crizinyy @l_airXXIII @wuooods or attack people for genuine, thoughtful expression doesn't just force everyone to think and act within an approved set of behaviors, it simultaneously makes vapidity, uncertainty and hypocrisy the core virtues of said behaviors. Tragic stuff.

[WydrA @XxWydrAxX]

@DSSB124 @asuliinflesh @Crizinyy @l_airXXIII @wuooods Also, pedantics aside, I think it's actually *exactly* this confusion that makes people call things like reading in public, or giving deep, thoughtful reviews "pretentious" when that ostensibly isn't the case. The irony might be funny, until you realize that trying to shame-
