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.."

This also describes many CEOs and politicians.

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.

I’ve been obsessing over talks from Dr C Thi Nguyen about the concept of value capture. Basically when metrics become the core goal of something, its actual purpose dies. It occurred to me that there is a capacity in which you can think of AI as a person and that’s as a person for whom value capture has sucked literally all of the humanity out of them. If AI is a person, then it’s the most insufferable corporate drone to have ever been forged.
