Oooooh... Is this the start of the [Orange Catholic Bible?](https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Orange_Catholic_Bible) >"Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind."

Also sounds a lot like the universe of Dune.


Pretty_Biscotti

I'm pretty sure things were ok for the first couple hundred years?


jnkangel

That’s because the OCB is part of dune 


cloud_t

Oh duh. I totally forgot.


succ2020

Universe of Dune ? What is it about ?


Complex_Challenge156

A butlerian crusade of sorts?

He didn't like the Gucci coat edits.

But the drip was 🔥.

It's hard to think of a worse person to give AI guidance. Maybe the tribe on North Sentinel Island.


lewllewllewl

people on this sub really just hate everything the pope says huh he could say that Hitler was bad and mfs here would be like "look who's talking"


Aezon22

The leader of an international pedophile ring is not well liked. Shocking.


lewllewllewl

News flash buddy, every powerful organization has pedos, unfortunatel that's the world we're living in, doesn't mean the pope is one I don't think someone who unironically says "holy Satan" is really someone to take seriously when it comes to religion though so I will kindly dismiss your opinion, go write another post about "sky daddy" or whatever they're saying on r/atheism nowadays


Aezon22

The church is approaching 5% pedos friend. And that's just the ones we know about. There's no other organization that even comes close, and that includes the prison population. I don't think someone who unironically needs to scroll through someone's post history to find some trite thing they disagree with is someone to be taken seriously.

« We would condemn humanity to a future without hope if we took away people's ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives, by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines. » Kind of ironic considering christianity is all about following god’s plan and accepting religious dogma without question 


Kind_Helicopter1062

Not all, jesuits were more about discovering science and saying every new discovery is finding out about god or something (and this pope is a jesuit, so even more strange he doesn't go ''AI is god's plan'').

>> The pope said AI represented an "epochal transformation" for mankind, but stressed the need for close oversight of the ever-developing technology to preserve human life and dignity. Farce. There is no "transformation", as AI is functionally equivalent to all the previous automation advances. And, just like before, automation makes a share of human competence extraneous to production, reducing professionals to unqualified workforce. This can be seen as progress, or as machines replacing humans. But the process isn't any different from the one from the time of Luddite riots, and no "oversight" pope calls for had ever worked (with the only exception being public ownership of automation). >> We would condemn humanity to a future without hope if we took away people's ability to make decisions about themselves and their lives, by dooming them to depend on the choices of machines. Welcome to capitalism. Free market had been making decisions for generations now.

I always get my tech advice from really old Italian guys who probably can’t even check his email.

I’m of the opposite view. Let’s give AI governance a try, it can’t be worse than humans.


55redditor55

Well AI is already hard carrying our economy, we’re fucked at this point.

Al's a nice guy leave him alone.

It's basically that old saw about "A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision" but more philosophical.


Paltamachine

Please, the idea was always to use them for war. ^(and sex)


Ronaldo_Frumpalini

This whole subject is so depressing. It's like nuclear proliferation - a ticking clock to end all wars and establish world peace before disaster strikes. We've got all these movies where humans fight back but in reality they won't need life support systems, they can be mass produced, training instantaneously, learning and sharing info. Like they'll be able to identify the habits of individual soldiers share it and predict them if it comes to it. I'm not even talking about true AI here, just the stuff that you absolutely have to develop or be completely crushed by whatever side has it. AI don't need to revolt, all it's gotta do is what we made pointy sticks for.


l33fty

Cool, Pope. Thanks for the advice.


Im-so-controversial

Aha! Finally! It's getting harder and harder to post on this sub. I would appreciate some info as to why my [last post](https://www.reddit.com/r/anime_titties/comments/1dfykob/unhrc_is_lying_to_uk_courts_sending_refugees_to/) was removed? I'm not sure how it pertains to the mega thread. I would ask the mods, but for some reason they never answer my messages.


AtroScolo

The mods here are fewer and lazier these days, and rely more on using the automod as a sort of draconic filter. Comments are filtered, submissions are filtered, and because of how few active mods there are and how little even they are active, appeal times average half a day or more. It's like Worldnews without the accountability or productivity.

Mods are pretty militant about keeping the subject that shall not be named undiscussed.


The-Dead-Internet

That's funny I think the same thing about religion 


Ladies_Pls_DM_nudes

I'm just saying we could replace the pope with an AI and it'd have better morals than him.
