Oh what a night! Early November back in twenty five

I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think a philosopher is probably in the best position to see why AI can’t do the things they think it will eventually do i.e. consciousness. It’s also extremely far behind what they say it can do. I’ve seen way too much slop & incorrect answers. They have also conceded it won’t be 100 percent reliable. They cannot eliminate the chance that the black box may turn out an incorrect answer.

@MiroRichard At least he doesn't want robots to take all the jobs.

Gonna be a Bernie bro from here on out.

Influencer converts should be required to engage in 3 years of total silence after joining the Church. I’m not sure if that would’ve saved Candace’s mind, but surely it would have helped.

C. S. Lewis’s advice to a young schoolgirl on how to become a better writer:

@ChrisHelali @RonNehring This is great

🚨 Japan to send help to open Strait of Hormuz

I’m not opposed to gambling in principle but we’re are rushing into prediction markets and multiplying minds preoccupied with quick easy gains tied to zero creation. That’s the best case scenario—— the worst case is financial ruin.

This is THE inheritance. Time, health and the ability to access this easily is some hot treasure.

@JeremyTate41 @elonmusk Also misses that work was a positive command before the fall. If you want to see population decline accelerate just wait and see what happens when people have no purpose or guiding structure.

People keep saying the future of work is a world where work disappears or becomes optional (@elonmusk says this). But they’re missing something fundamental. Do you know what is real work? Like seriously hard freaking work that isn’t going away? Forming children. Shaping the next generation. There are no shortcuts to that. No hacks. No automation. The work of real education and formation is slow, demanding, and deeply human. It requires presence, attention, sacrifice, and love. And there is no AI’ing your way out of it. The people who think AI will fundamentally disrupt education already don’t understand what education actually is. In many cases, they’re already participating in something that wouldn’t even be recognizable as education to any previous generation. Education is not the transfer of information. It is the formation of the person. It is about teaching young people to love what is true, good, and beautiful. It is about shaping their affections to love righteousness and to hate what is wicked. No machine can do that. Real labor, hard freaking work is required, and if you’re doing it right it’s gonna hurt.

“I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors; never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth.” William F. Buckley, Jr.

@McCormickProf Civitas is outstanding. I love it!

I'm so excited about what's happening at the University of Texas under the Provostship of my old friend Will Inboden--especially in the School of Civic Leadership, led by Justin Dyer. Bravo! Learn about it here: youtu.be/p3lURk56R8k?si…

@scottbraddock You have no data on income to support this—-but you’re still saying tens of thousands of kids should remain segregated in this school zones they were born into regardless of their stated desires?

Well, what do you know? *76%* of Texas school voucher applications come from families whose children are not enrolled in public schools. Less than 1% of public and charter school families have applied for vouchers. It's straight up welfare for the wealthy #txlege

@JenRobichaux Best post on here today

I'm yearning to take a backpacking trip. I've slept under the stars at some pretty cool places in Texas - Enchanted Rock, Big Bend, Guadalupe, Hueco Tanks... to name a few. Where in Texas should I explore next? The farther from civilization the better.

This coffee shop employs people with Down syndrome to show the world that everyone deserves a chance. We need more of this.

@TeamTalaricoHQ @jamestalarico Prayer does something jackass. It is acting

.@jamestalarico: I frankly am tired of the "thoughts and prayers" rhetoric from our leaders here in Texas and in our nation's capital. I believe in the power of prayer. I believe prayer changes lives. I believe prayer changes the world. But there is something profoundly cynical about asking God to solve a problem that we're not willing to solve ourselves. Scripture reminds us that faith without works is dead — the time for thoughts and prayers is over. It's time for us to act.

@TPPF Go Mandy!

Teachers who actively facilitate student walkouts are neglecting their responsibilities to parents and taxpayers.

@LoewyLawFirm If she rides off into the sunset with that pot it would be a confirmation that she has fully embraced a Wild West spirit and brushed off her St Louis roots

She's about to pull off one of the most impressive victories in Texas political history b/c its probably the lowest spend ever in a Texas Senate primary (adjusted for inflation etc). Or she's about to get totally embarrassed and will never live it down sitting on $6.5M and not spending it Wild dynamic. #txlege

@RepThomasMassie The way he capitalizes random words is mind blowing

So now he’s attacking my wife who voted for him three times. Maybe someone told him she’s actually the one who suggested I ask Pam Bondi in person at a dinner when we would get Phase 2 of the Epstein files. Bondi said there were no more files. As they say, the rest is history.

Is this a thing now? Young people posting videos about great literature? It’s wonderful. It’s as if this kid is declaring war against the digitized mindlessness, the attention vampires, and reclaiming his agency by way of Karamazov, which is all about reclaiming one’s agency.

@LoewyLawFirm Every generation throws a hero up the pop charts

These are the days of miracle and wonder. #txlege

@JeremyTate41 Keep rolling! Let’s get this through the next txlege session!

Amazing, Indiana just passed a bill requiring Indiana universities to accept the CLT in the same way as the SAT and ACT!

@roddreher @PatrickDeneen DL Schindler did the deep diagnosis, but didn’t pretend to have all the answers regarding what to do about it.

Not sure where today’s attack on @PatrickDeneen is coming from, but he accurately diagnosed the crisis of liberalism. This is like blaming the oncologist for the cancer. Smearing Deneen is not going to bring back the exhausted pre-Trump status quo.
