Since we are gifted with the light of intelligence & illumined by God's Spirit, shouldn’t we raise our minds higher than this decaying world? John Calvin

[The Rundown AI @TheRundownAI]

An artist just put a mirror to a lot of society's knee-jerk critiques of AI, using Claude (Monet).

SHL0MS, known for his viral experiments, posted an image of a real Monet water lilies painting on X and told people it was AI-generated.

Hundreds of replies poured in explaining exactly why it was 'slop'.

"No cohesion of elements."

"Doesn't look anywhere near like a Monet. Looks like somebody trying to replicate the style and achieving 20% of it."

"High school level art 101 work."

Every flaw described was a one invented the moment they saw the word AI.

This painting has no brush strokes — it is made from over 2,000,000 individual dots of colour.

And although it looks like nothing more than a sunny afternoon in Paris, it has a much darker hidden meaning...

“Their obsession with scapegoating ‘the Jews’ serves as a catechism for learned helplessness. This is not the way Christ taught us: From the cross, he forgave his Jewish and Roman killers, and proceeded with his salvific mission.”

Today in 399 BC, Socrates was sentenced to death for "corrupting the youth" of Athens.

What did he say that was so dangerous?

For my graphic designers,

Some sculptures don’t just impress—they stun you into silence.

From ancient wonders to modern marvels, these sculptures will leave you questioning what beauty truly is. 🧵

But December 25 is also not Christ's real birthday — so when is it?

A clue is in the 12 days of Christmas... (thread) 🧵

Iraq recently took a step toward a heinous objective: to allow men to marry 9-year-old girls. Is the world up in arms about this barbarity?
