"Algorithms lack the spark": Pope Leo XIV calls on church to ally with artists against AI

I’m glad the pope is anti-AI and all, but it hardly makes up for everything else the church is responsible for, no?

See the good. Yes, the church has a past (and present) fraught with problems and unforgivable acts, but if you think one person, even its supreme leader, can stop it during their lifetime, you’re overly optimistic. Do you think replacing the president will fix the US? Do you think Japan is unlovable now because of what they did in the past?

He claims to be the literal voice of god but can’t change the church’s behavior? I guess that god isn’t so omnipotent after all…

He got the voice but not the balls.

Quelle surprise… It’s good business reinforcing the belief that he is, though. I recommend the book God’s Bankers by Gerald Posner. A lot of interesting insight into what works less as a religion and more as a nation state.
