@MrsRuvi I have less hesitancy about AI use for coding, but for images, the platforms are (often) trained on stolen artwork which is troubling 😕 Definitely hard to see how AI affects humans who have good intentions. Not sure I have answers on what the best course of action is there
@MrsRuvi Stock images are fine (crediting them as such so I know it’s not AI is even better!). Tbh, I would prefer stick figures done in MS Paint with Papyrus and Comic Sans fonts to AI. In the age of AI slop, poor graphic design by humans feels positively heartwarming.
@FrNickOFMConv I heard a rumor that the priest who wrote them did so while on a plane. Not sure of the veracity (it was at least second or third hand to me), but it wasn’t from a trad trying to discredit the NO. Just told more as a funny/random story.
@MegHunterKilmer also that’s just a bizarre reaction the info you gave her. if my bits are accidentally hanging out in a way that others notice, i’d prefer to know, even if i’m in prayer mode!
@Anna_Paolicelli@spurs This was also the year I heard the closest thing to the nun version of trash talking: watching elderly Sisters glued to the Spurs game on TV yelling “St. John Bosco sit on the basket!” when the opposing team had the ball 🤣
@Anna_Paolicelli@spurs Can confirm. We visited the SAS store (or as we named it: The Candy and Popcorn Store That Also Sells Shoes) twice in a week when I was a postulant and we visited San Antonio 🤣 Also this was like ~13 yrs ago and the Sisters were BIG Spurs fans then too!
@jdflynn@cecsquared@PBMPublishing will there be a monthly consumable version of excerpts? it’s too hard with all the ribbons. i’d like to buy them in bulk for my parish.
@maryrezacfarrow [redacted thoughts about said influencer LARPing the vices of Chesterton by reducing Chesterton’s entire personality to tobacco consumption and pithy little quotes that confirm the influencer’s priors]
When Catholic, Inc. starts shilling that you have a duty to see and support Mel Gibson's movie about the Resurrection, remember this.
Gibson's choice of on-site Mass celebrant was a priest prohibited from public ministry.
