Interesting video by Christian immigrants which influenced Pope Leo's recent decision that "the church cannot be silent" and needs a "stronger, more unified voice".

I guess it was inevitable the admins of this platform — the only viable alternative to X, which has become truly malevolent and perpetuates great harm — would eventually get dog-piled and become a punching bag. Huge swathes of the left do not know how to keep perspective at all.

RIP to this legend. Society still has so much to learn from her and sometimes it seems like we're headed in the wrong direction.

Good recap on justified true beliefs, what it means to know something, the implications for AI, and why it matters.

Chasing a deer around in circles at low speed to get it off the road and onto the trails is my favorite biking sidequest 😝 And it actually worked.

Not only can't they handle the complicated or unusual, but if it got close but not good enough or if it was creating some strange behavior how does a non-programmer even correct that except just asking the AI over and over to fix it and hope that it eventually does?... Not an ideal approach by far.

Repurposing what came before is a very old and accepted tradition in the arts.
Wondering how to think about AI art, and how it relates to collage art, sampling in music, and other forms of remixing?
