The pope is arguably the worlds biggest influencer

I mean, I’m probably one of those people you’d call out, and I’ve never had an OpenAI subscription, never downloaded the app. Not once. I payed a few pennies for A/B tests via API, is all.

I’ve thought Sam Altman was a creep for a long, looong time.

“AI influencers” are incredible idiots even amongst idiot influencers. Like said below, using that term as some kind of respected title is beyond ridiculous.

I’m pretty into the local ML space, and I can’t name a single “influencer” that isn’t a shameless scammer or totally unhinged. Or both. Not one that posts anymore, anyway.

Even if they’re talking about some early researchers who Tweet, if you actually listen to them, they’re calling out transformers LLMs as dead ends and have moved to other spaces in ML.

It's the new "do you even lift, bro?" for the "AI" goobers

On Sunday, victims who met with the pope in France said he had marked a major shift by calling the sexual violence 'systemic.' However, on his flight back to Rome, Leo said that he had been referring to organizations within the Church that, 'at times,' have 'as a system, been abusive.'

Walking on eggshells there, he is.

I'm sure that popes react well to being told to (adjusts glasses) "shut the fuck up."

It's okay to be equally against them both, for different reasons.

Well, two of the ingredients are rocks and glue.

Tbf tech bros understand shit about what "AI" is too so...

Pope is quite famously an elected position...

Completely avoid the fact that politicians also don't know how AI, or any tech, works.

Ignore the idiots that help you, but yell at the 'idiots' that make your feelings hurt.

The Pope is the highest ranked moron on Earth, exalted above all other dopes.

Like, instead of a town fool, he's our planet's fool.

Please note that you are supporting him (and rabbis, imams, pastors) with your taxes, because we all know that the Catholic church is super poor!

(Catholics own 170 million acres, more than any other organization)

Made me laugh.

the third is shit.

All the good Christians tell the pope to "shut the fuck up".

Guaranteed this guy doesn't even comprehend half of the pope's post.

"bro do you even lift local models"

sweet

We could debate how fair that election is, but that's a lost cause with churches anyway. It also certainly isn't an open, democratic election by any stadard, but again, transparency and democracy have never been their mission statement. I'm also on board with treating the cardinals as nobody (important), but that's not a literal "nobody" either.

So, yeah, he is elected, and by one of the strangest procedures I've ever heard about.

Ok.

It's basically the same as a board of directors electing their CEO. You not liking the catholic church doesn't make the election any less valid.

What the pope has over many AI influencers in this matter is an actual degree in mathematics.

Who’s spectro? Is this a parody account?

Anyone else think that he says "Pope," like he's speaking to someone named Pope?

Right? Mistakes that this have me seeing red with white smoke coming out my ears

Though many of those texts are likely stolen during the crusades and other notorious events as well.

Should be public domain by now... 😅

🤣

tl;dr:

Pope: "Drugs are bad, m'kay?"
Tweeter: "Well that's like... your opinion, man."

for hundreds of years they had a monopoly on music being performed

Interesting. I don't know much about the history of the Catholic Church so I'd never heard about that. Which centuries did they have a monopoly and what was the punishment for performing without the church's permission?

Are the directors also isolated from the outside world, strictly sworn to secrecy, with only a subset of members of the board eligible for election by a two-thirds supermajority, unless the last CEO changed the voting rules again?

It absolutely is an election, I wasn't disagreeing with that. It's a particularly ritualistic one, which also isn't a discredit, just an observation about the singular nature of it.

But if you want to defend the legitimacy of the papal elections, I suggest finding a less openly corrupt analogue than corporate leadership. At least the pope has to know about the faith he's supposed to lead; CEOs only need to know how to manipulate markets to make numbers go up and pretend they can go up infinitely.

Absolutely agree with the guy. Even though I agree with "fuck AI companies" and that AI art isn't really art, the pope should shut the fuck up
