You know what we won't need once handwriting recognition software has done its thing? Archivists, curators, conservators, catalogers, codicologists, or paleographers. We won't need archives either. We won't need diplomatics, editorial theory, book or media history, or material culture studies 🗃️🧵

Oh so Thiel's not a real Catholic then. Because in the Catholic faith, the pope is infallible. And Thiel thinks he's a better Catholic than the Pope. (Seems very A.I. of him.)
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

It’s hilarious to watch Trumpworld tell poor people to stop complaining Trump has made everything more expensive.
Here Hassett tells poor people to be cool with less and lower quality food - while he and other MAGA millionaires and billionaires eat like kings.

Hassett: "On one of the Sunday shows, the anchor criticized the fact Walmart said the Thanksgiving dinner is cheaper by about $10. Then he said, 'Oh yeah, but they substituted generic stuff,' as if having a generic something is a crime for ordinary folks! It shows how out of touch these people are."
