  1. BREAKING:
    ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE CAUSES ORGANIC HYSTERIA 💎

    AI presses several #old human fear buttons at once.

    It threatens work, status, expertise, authorship, privacy, and the comforting #belief that intelligence belongs especially to human beings.

    AI also arrives through enormous companies people already distrust, so the fears are not entirely irrational.

    Then there is the fear of losing #control

    Most people understand a hammer.

    AI is also a #tool, but it is harder to see into. It changes quickly, sometimes gets things wrong with amazing confidence, and can sound far more capable than it really is.

    That uncertainty invites #projection

    But AI also exposes something uncomfortable.

    Much of human #activity was already formulaic.

    #writing

    #administration

    #advertising

    #opinion

    Even parts of #journalism and professional #commentary .

    When a machine can imitate these things, people are forced to ask how original they were in the first place.

    The sensible position is neither to worship AI nor panic about it.

    AI is a powerful human-made tool operating inside imperfect systems.

    It can help.

    It can deceive.

    It can save time.

    It can waste resources.

    It can widen access.

    It can concentrate power.

    It can produce brilliance and slop, often in the same hour.

    The question is not whether it is pure.

    Nothing in this world is.

    The question is whether it can be used consciously, critically, and without surrendering human judgement.

    A tool becomes dangerous when it is mistaken for an authority.

    It also becomes dangerous when fear prevents us from understanding it properly.

  7. A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

    One’s philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In stopping to think through the meaning of what I have learned, there is much that I believe intensely, much I am unsure of. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And, the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.

    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
    You Learn by Living, Foreword (1960)

  20. A quotation from Orwell

    The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time; the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against a solid reality, usually on a battlefield.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1946-03-22), “In Front of Your Nose,” “As I Please” column, Tribune Newspaper

  26. “Everything that is done in the world is done by hope.” Martin Luther

    What if today we replaced just one worry with one hope?

    We may not have all the answers, but hope reminds us that possibilities still exist.

  27. A quotation from Truman

    The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence can live only as long as they are enshrined in our hearts and minds. If they are not so enshrined, they would be no better than mummies in their glass cases, and they could in time become idols whose worship would be a grim mockery of the true faith. Only as these documents are reflected in the thoughts and acts of Americans can they remain symbols of a power that can move the world.

  31. From a scientific perspective, probably the main problem with religious people is they usually take their traditions at face value. They rarely know the identities, social contexts, or motives of scriptures' authors, or the historical layers of texts presented as unified texts or collections.
