Leo continues...
"Every single creature has a role to play. The contribution that each person can make is uniquely valuable, and the task of educational communities is to encourage and cherish that contribution... We are called to form people, so that they may shine like stars in their full dignity"
Pope on All Saints: “Life shines brightly not because we are rich, beautiful or powerful. Instead, it shines when we discover within ourselves the truth that we are called by God, have a vocation, have a mission, that our lives serve something greater than ourselves.” www.vatican.va/content/leo-...

one of the things Weizenbaum really nails is that our propensity to believe machine intelligence rivals our own is embedded in a deeper view of humans as being basically machines, that the ELIZA Effect is in part a product of our spiritual and cultural empoverishment... it seems the woke pope agrees
Pope Leo XIV told students not to use artificial intelligence for homework, saying that AI ‘won’t stand in authentic wonder before the beauty of God’s creation.’

Why we have a national statutory* 🦃 Thanksgiving 🦃 holiday has a lot more to do with our civil war & President Lincoln in the 1800s than pilgrims & native people sharing a dinner in 1621.

For clarity, snapshot of Griffin's whole post. ⤵️

Griffin explains away his youth by saying birth cert could've been forged, and records were iffy.

International humanitarian law prohibits recruiting children under 15. And prohibits under 18 for other than national military.

1/2 From Jen Griffin (She's Fox News. But is an actual journalist.)

Per a senior U.S. official:
"The alleged Afghan shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal began working with the CIA around 2011 (yes he may have been 15"

Griffin states that it would have been v. hard to know his true age. (But 15?)

The Trump administration effectively says that no one should ever work with Americans during wartime; that our promises mean nothing, our word is dust, and we will throw our allies under the bus the moment we want.

In any future armed conflict, who would ever trust us again?

If you're familiar with the asylum process, then you know that a grant of asylum within ninety days only happens when a certain alphabet soup government agency goes to bat for the applicant and insists that the process be expedited. That's plainly what happened here. The assailant is a company man.

The two work in tandem to create a terrible synergy: people will believe images/video they want to believe while disregarding those they don't.

Congratulations to humanity for building a cognitive bias confirmation machine. 🥳
sorta coming around to the view that the social danger of genAI images is less that they'll make people believe fabricated things are real and more that they'll make people believe real things are fabricated

Meanwhile RFK has described it as "unsafe," "dangerous and defective," and suggested it increases the risk of cancer or autoimmune conditions. Because he’s nuts. He’s also in charge of America’s health system.
Australia recorded ZERO cases of cervical cancer in women under 25 for the first time since they started tracking the cancer in the 80s.

This is the power of vaccines.

The HPV vaccine is extremely effective at preventing cancer.

Viruses can be oncogenic. Get your vaccines and protect yourself!

America’s message to the tens of thousands of people who fought and bled and died for us is that you are worthless and the small possibility that one of you might eventually go on to do something bad in the future means that if things go sideways, we’ll leave you to die.

Imagine paying a large monthly fee to shop at a supermarket, then paying again for the actual groceries, then getting an extra charge months later because one ingredient in an item you bought came from a farmer associated with a different store.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:

If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.
So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?
