In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Walk em down walker was a beast tonight!

The new Siri is I think will take the place of ChatGPT for quick questions, it’s really good with searching on the web and synthesizing it.

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life. This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.  Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

I'm assuming the community notes coming in as messages is to increase stats on X chat usage?

I'll never stop calling this app “Twitter”

Fit bit air battery life is great. 7 days and at 20%.

Any recommendations to improve my vo2 max? I can run a half marathon but my Fitbit air has my vo2 at 35.9.

Man fuck the boys ending. Homelander needed a proper crash out before he went out. Lame as hell.

Being blocked by a train only happens when I actually need to be somewhere.

The reaction to the location data makes a lot of sense. Most of the debates we have here are about American politics and American culture. We don’t care what some random guy in the Philippines or whatever has to say about these subjects anymore than he would care what we have to say about the internal disputes in his country. If you’re foreigner, I’m sure you have a lot of great opinions about the stuff happening in your own country. Talk about that all you want. But the debates in and about America are for Americans. Mind your own business.

Any good places for tracking new job postings? I'm aware of LinkedIn and Indeed. Any other spots where a lot of the jobs get posted at?
