@brivael @quatremer Malheureusement les outils IA reprennent ce qu’ils trouvent sur Internet et en grande partie ce qui a été créé par des académiques comme Edward Said. C’est pourquoi quand tu poses une question à ChatGPT c’est souvent Foucault qui te répond.

@SBarrettBar This is obviously happening all the time, even when we don’t get such blatant evidence of it.

So what is the problem with treating AI as a religion? Isn’t everyone free to practice whatever religion they want?

First, if AI is a new religion, then let’s be frank about it. When people preach about this new religion, its savior, and the hope for abundance, we should treat it as it is: preaching.

Second, as most governments openly embrace AI development and tie it to their political and economic plans, AI is officially the world’s most powerful religion, entering schools, workplaces, governments, and every single human institution. We have never seen a process like that in human history.

Third, it’s a strange new religion developed and fine-tuned by humans, based on design choices made by the top engineers at a handful of tech companies. We must recognize that these tech companies will soon have unimaginable power.

Fourth, AI might soon become the world’s most destructive religion as well.
AI is effectively replacing human cognitive processes, making humans feel inefficient and unnecessary as it slowly overtakes human capabilities in almost every single cognitive task.

For the first time in history, humans will feel like they are not the smartest beings on Earth.

Religions often foster the idea that humans should focus on improving themselves, doing good deeds, and helping others.

AI is a different religion in that it’s essentially agnostic. Its dogmas are all forms of meta-worship, as we see them play out in 2026:

“AI is cognitively superior to humans.”

“AI is smarter than humans.”

“AI is more creative than humans.”

“Using AI is like having a PhD-level expert in all fields in your pocket.”

“Efficient humans use AI.”

“Effective companies are AI-first.”

“Employees can prove their worth by showing how often they use AI to optimize their work.”

Etc.

The underlying idea is that humans are inferior and expendable.

I have never seen a major religion that promotes such ideas.

In a few years, we might discover that these ideas are utterly destructive to humans, as we need to believe in ourselves, our capabilities, our institutions, and our values to survive as a species.

Unexpectedly, AI might be the biggest religious experiment in human history (...CONTINUES...)

Society collectively needs to stop making excuses for awful behaviour.

There are BILLIONS of people around the world who grew up in suboptimal conditions and they don't use it as an excuse to be a criminal or degenerate.

Tolerance of evil isn't a virtue.

I’ve been informed by folks on this site that The Hobbit and now Jane Austen are too difficult for teens. I can’t stress enough how condescending this is to teenagers. You’re taking away all the things that might bring them joy and leaving them with no pastimes but scrolling.

«Ce qui me désole, c’est la réaction des syndicats de magistrats», regrette Hervé Lehman, ancien magistrat, sur les critiques envers les défaillances judiciaires dans l’affaire Lyhanna. «Cette affaire n’est pas un problème de moyens», leur répond-il. Il appelle à plus de «responsabilités» et de «sanctions» pour les juges qui font mal leur travail.

@AntoninAtger Peut-être parce que des urbanistes totalement en dehors de tout sens comun et pratique raisonable ont construit des passages pour vélo sur les passages piéton. Alors que normalement les vélos doivent se comporter comme des voitures dans le trafic, non pas comme des piétons.

VON DER LEYEN: We propose, for the first time, to ban from entry into the European Union anyone who has served in Russian armed forces since the beginning of the war.

Europe stays off-limits for anyone who has participated in the invasion of Ukraine. As simple as that.

@HenMazzig @just_whatever Francesca acts like a dangerous madwoman. You can hardly get any more cartoon villain than that. Maybe the next Bond villain will be inspired by her.
