As evidenced by the unbridled promotion and implementation of technology at the expense of human dignity, we are truly experiencing an eclipse of the sense of what it means to be human. It is imperative to recover an understanding of the true meaning and grandeur of humanity as intended by God. It is in this sense that the challenge we currently face is not technological, but anthropological, and it is my hope that the Encyclical Letter to be published within a few days will contribute to answering this challenge.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

BREAKING🇺🇳: The United States just voted against a UN resolution condemning Russian aggression in Ukraine. Only 8 countries opposed it: Russia, Belarus, North Korea, Eritrea, Mali, Nicaragua, Niger, Sudan… And now MAGA America. Let that sink in. We used to lead the free world. Now we’re voting with dictators, war criminals, and failed states. Fucking shame on 🇺🇸

If you watch one thing today make it this remarkable speech by an independent French senator. It captures the moment @ClaudeMalhuret
French senator perfectly describes the Trump situation.

This is quite illustrative of the general sentiment I'm getting from customers. Karma took probably the most bullish stance a year ago and it takes courage to be able to step back and ponder. For many tasks, AI is a formidable augmentation tool to humans, not a replacement.
We just had an epiphany: in a world of AI nothing will be as valuable as humans! Ok you can laugh at us for realizing it so late, but we are going to kick off work to allow Klarna to become the best at offering a human to speak to!!! So excited about this, more to come!

When something sounds too good to be true - maybe it is? Did Klarna really fully replace 700 customer support agents overnight? I did what few retweeting this do: tried Klarna’s AI assistant. It’s… underwhelming. It recites exact docs and passes me on to human support fast.

Wow Klarna's AI customer support agent is able to handle 2/3rd of the requests by itself in its first month and is doing the job of an equivalent of 700 agents.

NEW: last week we got the latest UK census data, on ethnicity, religion & identity. It was met with toxic responses from the usual suspects seeking to weaponise the stats. Almost every word of what they claimed was false. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re… And a thread 🧵

Emmanuel Macron’s insight that Elizabeth II represented “a sense of eternity” is the best explanation I’ve so far read as to why she inspired this level of veneration.
