[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

In an age dominated by technology, in which efficiency and profit often take precedence, it is so important that we continue to cultivate a spirit of contemplation and allow time and space for beauty. Such an attitude will greatly help humanity, especially young people, to discover the ability of art to uplift and reveal the depths of the human spirit and our openness to the divine. Contemplation presents a marvelous opportunity to encounter the God who is Beauty.

@justintrimble She’s phenomenal.

[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.

Someone asked me today “What’s the most valuable class I had growing up?” Without a doubt it was debate and symbolic logic.

How about you?

Incredible human, who has always showed love whenever we run into each other. When you speak to him it’s like you’re speaking to a superhero in New Orleans. On top of his incredible family and team first-class people that deserve all the support.

Entirely depends on if you are recreating a real environment versus a generative one. The base materials needed for full generative environments is incredibly low. However, if you are wanting consistency in material elements then there is a sliding scale of detail needed in the blender file.

We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so.

Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.
