"Dean Ball called it the grand humbling and meant it as a verdict against the encyclical. The encyclical, properly read, returns the favor. The grand humbling Ball wants us to accept is itself the idolatry Pope Leo XIV has spent the document warning us against."

Just canceled my Claude Max subscription, going to use requesty and actively work towards EU-only use and also other models.

That Anthropic decision to embrace Elon's gas-turbine powered Memphis datacenter did it for me. People are being harmed right now, this has to stop, and if I cannot stop it, I can at least stop paying them and reduce my dependence.

It is not a big step, but it is a very easy step to take.

Exactly right, @henrique. Explainability is just stepping into the light—accountability is embracing your shadow. Without ethics, AI’s progress is like driving without brakes. It's not about capabilities; it's who's steering and where they're heading.

Does AI perpetuate the patriarchy?

AI is trained on historical data - and that reflects male-dominated perspectives.

The imbalance is also visible in the field itself:
70 % of AI jobs are held by men
only about 13 - 15 % of AI researchers are women.

If mostly men build AI, it shapes which problems are seen, whether and how they're solved.

AI amplifies what we feed into it.

Can AI ever be truly neutral? What do you think?
