didn't have the church going to war with AI on my 2026 bingo card but at the same time I'm here for this timeline

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

Last night, I listened to Charli XCX's new song, 'SS26'. She's super doomer in it, singing 'we're walking on a runway straight to hell, nothing's gonna save us art, fashion or film'. And I thought, damn even rich celebrities are feelin it.

So if even money and fame doesn't insulate you, what does? Earlier this week, Eric Schmidt, the Google co-founder, was booed during a commencement speech in Arizona. The youth have definitively turned against tech. 20 years ago, tech was the silver bullet; a creator of abundance that would free us. Now, we realise it might be used to trap us in a 'permanent underclass'. The only ones that seem to be 'winning' are our new tech overlords.

The closer you are to them, generally, the more you seem pleased with the state of affairs. Which makes the tech workers like the 8000 Meta discarded last week real wild cards. They've devoted years of their lives building for an infrastructure that ironically is now going to toss them aside. So will they try to cling onto their proximity to power, or change allegiances? Perhaps Charli's partnership with Nothing is the answer. If money and fame don't save you, proximity to the machine might.

originally the Blade Runner opening titles were to be set in red Impact; they instead went with Goudy Oldstyle, signaling to audiences it wasn’t an action film

Quite simply the best thing I've read on AI:

"...the people who built AI have shown themselves singularly ill-equipped to understand what it can and can’t do. Perhaps that’s because they tend not to understand what humans can and can’t do."

"Put simply, we like to think we can get something bigger than us to do the job of being human for us. But we’re it: the highest form of life on this planet, God help us. The buck stops with us."

from @SpencerKlavan in @LawLiberty. Read the whole piece here:

[Johnnie Manzari @johnnie]

This is exactly right. The verb is “selection” or, I prefer, “editing”. Taste is a noun, so it fails to fully communicate the work needed to be done. AI is an incredible collaborator, but you need to still own the ideas with clarity and conviction.

I just read this piece thanks to Garbage Day (the best newsletter about the internet ever written). This kind of lazy "cultural critique" can only happen if you keep pretending that there is the INTERNET, and REAL LIFE, and somehow they aren't the same thing https://t.co/j0VAbuQ8IN
