No matter how much I abhor the bs that comes with it, I can still find myself in some awe in a grand cathedral. At least I can attribute that to something someone did with their hands, and not a raindrop in a cloud of staggering uncare spewing forth into the mouths of people who aren't interested in tasting the slopfest

I think it's a bad idea to be too close to people as a person of high authority. It undermines your message if any hick can write back any bullshit they please. Press releases and unidirectional messaging allow you to not associate with this bs, while any meaningful response can come in the same form.

On the flip side, it means that you're unaccountable to the people you serve. If they can't talk to you, and you can't talk with them, then the only source of information you have about the impact of your decisions comes from the horde of eager-to-please yes-men who carry out your will.

“AI influencers” are also incredible idiots even amongst idiot influencers.

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

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

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 so poor!

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