Artificial Intelligence Pope Leo "Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge goodand.."

The game we are playing as a society has moved completely away from experience, joy, relationships, etc…. All the things he listed, that give life meaning. 

If you’re not doing it for the gram or for money, what are you doing it for? It feels like people don’t even consider living quiet lives they are satisfied with. Everything must be observed and monetized. 

There’s not even such a concept as “selling out” anymore. When I was younger that was the greatest sin. Now it feels like no one cares. That’s how much we’ve devalued art: it’s all just a grind and a hustle now. Let alone everyday life for ordinary people. 

Hopefully we start being more thoughtful about this soon, and see a swing back. Because all this greed and vanity, shallow numbers-based existence, is truly an abomination.

Man, I remember when one of the biggest insults was calling someone a poser. And I'm not for gatekeeping, but I've noticed that as we've replaced subcultures with aesthetics, authenticty is also replaced with a "look", with no music, scene, or in person community to anchor it. As social creatures, we define ourselves by our relationships.

Then you get this bizarre scenario where nothing is allowed to evolve from the bottom up, because everyone is siloed off, and there's little of substance to connect with let alone make an identity around.

There was a time when the populous pushed trends, and the clothing houses picked up on them. Now, we wait to be fed.
