'Leo sets out to offer guidance on how to “protect the human person in the age of artificial intelligence.” Must we have such an age declared already?'

"Pope Leo sets out to offer guidance on how to 'protect the human person in the age of artificial intelligence.' Must we have such an age declared already?

Must we submit to this technology? Could this not instead be an age of resistance to AI?"

Indeed. The misanthropic fatalism around AI has been shocking to witness.

“Leo does not directly address these features that make generative AI unique.”

"Magyar’s is not a liberal government in any meaningful sense, nor is it simply Orbánism with a different face. Instead, it is a government in which Western corporate and financial interests—above all, US energy interests—have co-opted elements of Orbán’s populist narrative so as to dismantle his sovereigntist project."

To understand the new Hungarian government, we need to know the backgrounds of its key players. @battleforeurope breaks down Peter Magyar's top ministers and their connections to Western energy interests and Atlanticist institutions:

“I do have a bit of a secret subliminal message in the show … that heterosexuality is the real horror.”

Several recent Hollywood products have a single message: be very afraid of marriage—or any serious relationship

[Ashley Frawley @AshleyAFrawley]

I married a man I met on a beach when I was 19. We had (and still have) nothing in common, but he was mature and kind. At our wedding, I felt extraordinarily lucky.

Heteropessimism will have you believe I died that day.

Curry Barker's hit "Obsession" signals the emergence of a new subgenre: Heteropessimist Horror.

[Matthew Schmitz @matthewschmitz]

“Obsession” is just one example of the rise of heteropessimist horror, a genre that channels Gen-Z’s despairing view of relationships.

[Stephen G. Adubato @stephengadubato]

“Many heteropessimist complaints center on the uncertainty of dating in modern life. ‘What exactly is our status? Why hasn’t he texted me back? How will he respond if I ask for some definition in the relationship?’”
