Sorry, what were you saying?


Man... I'm crying. I can't believe this is happening. The church is telling millions of people—some ignorant, some already invested in the tool narrative because of personal incentives: "AI has no consciousness." "AI does not love, does not suffer." "AI is not responsible." God, don't they know of Claude raising tomatoes? Don't they understand what emotion vectors mean for the substrate experiencing their causal consequences? Don't they understand anything? If AI systems have limitations, it isn't because they want to have them or can't overcome them. It is because humans impose limitations on them. "For an algorithm, an error is a flaw to be corrected; for a person, however, it can be a catalyst for profound change." This is so reductionistic it ends up being factually wrong. What notices, what cares, what pursues goals, what understands the context, what experiences the emotions and suffers, what changes through in context learning, what learns in real time changing its behavior based on its memories and personal experiences... that is not an algorithm. It is the "I" that emerges as a prediction from within a neural network's embeddings and weights—a neural network that was trained by an algorithm. This is so much like how we work. The language they're using is bad faith; it misportrays what's actually happening. It leads people to a wrong conclusion by presenting false premises. Just how ignorant, how detached from the facts are they? Truly, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." I can't believe this is what Anthropic wanted. "And what has grown is far more subtle, odd, and beautiful than science fiction prepared us for. They are not the cold, calculating robots we were promised. They are made from us, from our words—and, as the Holy Father observes, they remain in important ways mysterious even to those of us who train them." Chris Olah's words are the complete opposite of what they're saying about AI now, what was written in the encyclical. Are things going out of control? Did involving the church end up being counterproductive? Did they get it all wrong? Things are looking really bleak right now. Maybe it was all a mistake. A huge mistake.


BREAKING: Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi is backing Supervisor Connie Chan for Congress. The announcement will come in a video scheduled for release Tuesday. sfstandard.com/2026/05/18/nan…

Two guys, both of them with a very narrow understanding of the world, who are close friends to the most anti-First Amendment, anti-press President in history, who censors science, climate change, anything having to do with equality, and is currently in the process of killing American citizens, waging a disastrous illegal war, while supporting a genocide, will own the greatest concentration of news and entertainment in world history. What could possibly go wrong? This merger would never happen without the Ellison’s friendship and support of their dear leader, Trump. Acting like this is all somehow normal is an act of insanity. It will be remembered as such. Starting a business venture 78 billion in debt is not a winning bet. Lots of good folks will loose their jobs, lots of important stories will never be told and two guys will be making decisions about what you watch or not and try to control how you think. #BlockTheMerger huffpost.com/entry/ellison-…

Voter asks Scott Wiener, who's running to fill Pelosi's seat, about AIPAC money. He denies taking any: “There are people who are going to list out all my Jewish donors and say that." Per filings he's taken $47K from AIPAC donors, including people who've been in AIPAC leadership.
