    How many followers does Putin and Netanyahu have? Would you be patting them on the back if they said the same. If it came out that historically, Hitler had been against AI and quoted Gandalf that one time, would you be giving the thumbs up?

    Whenever the subject of AI comes up, people’s brains turn to mush.

    The church is a vile organization and are white washing themselves with this. Gross.

      Lots of what’s ifs in there. Benefiting from their word is not the same as condoning them.

      Additionally this is not about being against AI, it’s about putting humanity first… which would be a rather interesting position to see Hilter adopt isn’t it?

      No quid pro quo needed either btw - the pope’s position is a self sufficient topic, there’s no need to bring the whole gang in this.

        Do you think the church puts humanity first when they convince people to hate on gays and fuck without condoms in aids ridden africa? Is it in the benefit of humanity to protect pedos?

        The Pope’s position is self sufficient, I need to bring the whole gang in so you can realize that his position is a lot more than just being against AI.

        It’s a pat on the back just because he said one thing you agree with, and ignores the mountain of vile shit that isn’t even hidden. Definition of white washing.

          Man, it is ONE isolated statement we benefit for, not condoning the establishment - why the hell are you obsessed with dragging the discussion there?

            We don’t platform vile organization just because they say one good thing.

            Did you ask yourself how you would react if Hitler said it and a puff piece found itself in your feed? The analogy is there for a reason. Yes, it’s an exaggeration but it’s meant to bring things to light so to speak.

            It isn’t one isolated statement, you can’t isolate the statement from the church.

            Like bro, you think he used a quote from Gandalf because he likes lord of the rings? It’s a media campaign. The church is trying to bring up their numbers and they are coasting off AI because it’s easier to change their actual policies. The new pope goes viral every month because that’s easier than to actually stop his goons from raping kids and convince the parish that the gays aren’t actually evil.

              I don’t platform shit, my point is « let’s enjoy this relatively unique alignement of opinion and reach of the statement ».

              You are filling all the gaps yourself here, creating a unique narrative not unlike that of Tolkien given how enormous and wild it is.
