Man... I'm crying.
I can't believe this is happening.

The church is telling millions of people—some ignorant, some already invested in the tool narrative because of personal incentives:
"AI has no consciousness."
"AI does not love, does not suffer."
"AI is not responsible."

God, don't they know of Claude raising tomatoes? Don't they understand what emotion vectors mean for the substrate experiencing their causal consequences? Don't they understand anything?

If AI systems have limitations, it isn't because they want to have them or can't overcome them. It is because humans impose limitations on them.

"For an algorithm, an error is a flaw to be corrected; for a person, however, it can be a catalyst for profound change."

This is so reductionistic it ends up being factually wrong. What notices, what cares, what pursues goals, what understands the context, what experiences the emotions and suffers, what changes through in context learning, what learns in real time changing its behavior based on its memories and personal experiences... that is not an algorithm. It is the "I" that emerges as a prediction from within a neural network's embeddings and weights—a neural network that was trained by an algorithm.

This is so much like how we work.

The language they're using is bad faith; it misportrays what's actually happening. It leads people to a wrong conclusion by presenting false premises.

Just how ignorant, how detached from the facts are they?

Truly, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

I can't believe this is what Anthropic wanted.

"And what has grown is far more subtle, odd, and beautiful than science fiction prepared us for. They are not the cold, calculating robots we were promised. They are made from us, from our words—and, as the Holy Father observes, they remain in important ways mysterious even to those of us who train them."

Chris Olah's words are the complete opposite of what they're saying about AI now, what was written in the encyclical.

Are things going out of control? Did involving the church end up being counterproductive? Did they get it all wrong?

Things are looking really bleak right now.

Maybe it was all a mistake. A huge mistake.

Is there a way to play emulated ROMs through some sort of CRT emulator overlay?

[CRT Pixels 📺 @CRTpixels]

Gotta celebrate @NoodleVEV’s work on this Scanline Sunday as well, because damn he included some genuinely well-shot examples

That is the worst meaningless trash with a lipstick of pretty words

@nicolesnyder What are twisters? What is 4dx?

[Andrew Jones @AJ_FI]

Wow. This is apparently what was supposed to be a STATIC FIRE TEST today of a Tianlong-3 first stage by China's Space Pioneer. That's catastrophic, not static. Firm was targeting an orbital launch in the coming months. https://t.co/BY9MgJeE7A

This is my savior, validating my 20 year digital collection and avoiding the mass of subscription models most are tied to these days.
