Only an "AI influencer" can weigh in on the use of AI? Gee, I'm sure that will lead to nothing but a reasonable, balanced, and nuanced consideration of the issue 🙄

also, lol @ "how many local models do you run?" as if those aren't also trained on millions of stolen images. Do you even lift run local models bro?

"you're not an AI influencer" got me barfing

"noone elected you" : ok so this dipshit doesn't know the second thing about popes

No one elected you

Kinda hate these idiots are pushing me to side with the pope

Spectro, would you please shut the fuck up about matters you have a financial stake in? You're an Ai influencer, no one elected you, and you have absolutely no impartiality in this debate and you're being used as a mouthpiece to sway public opinion. How many fascists do you pay fees to every month?

"you're being used as a mouthpiece to sway public opinion"

"Yes... I am God's representative on Earth..."

The dumbest thing here (and it was a tough competition) was using the term "influencer" to imply expert authority.

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

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

Even if they’re talking about some early researchers who Tweet, if you actually listen to them, they’re calling out transformers LLMs as dead ends and have moved to other spaces in ML.

You can hate on the church for many things, but you can't deny that they've been one of the art world's biggest patrons for thousands of years.

Pope is quite famously an elected position...

WTF is a Spectro, and how do we get it to shut the fuck up?

So, he was elected, by the cardinals.

The Pope, for the record, has a bachelor in mathematics. Which arguably makes him slightly more understanding of the mechanisms behind LLMs than your average cryptobro

Specto has no business talking pope things, since they're no pope.

Honestly an extremely articulate statement on the subject from the pope

How many hail Mary’s do you have to do for telling the pope to “shut the fuck up”?

The worst part is millions will see this and side with the addict.

Name three songs, Pope.

What the pope has over many AI influencers in this matter is an actual degree in mathematics.

Anyone else think that he says "Pope," like he's speaking to someone named Pope?

All the good Christians tell the pope to "shut the fuck up".

Tbf tech bros understand shit about what "AI" is too so...

"bro do you even lift local models"

tl;dr:

Pope: "Drugs are bad, m'kay?"
Tweeter: "Well that's like... your opinion, man."

So cool to see Pope addresses this with such clarity. Now do the child sexual abuse in church next!

I'm sure that popes react well to being told to (adjusts glasses) "shut the fuck up."

Who’s spectro? Is this a parody account?

Do you even own any Micron shares? No? then stfu.

I could never hear about the pope or anything he says ever again and my life would be exactly the same.

Completely avoid the fact that politicians also don't know how AI, or any tech, works.

Ignore the idiots that help you, but yell at the 'idiots' that make your feelings hurt.

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 super poor!

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

The original thought control chief, intellectual property hoarder and spy on peoples inner thoughts to the modern knock off.

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.

Absolutely agree with the guy. Even though I agree with "fuck AI companies" and that AI art isn't really art, the pope should shut the fuck up
