But not even nuclear weapons or machine guns work that way. We are never caused to do anything by a tool (or a narcotic). There is therefore no trade-off between using Claude and “reading stories to a child” or “offering company to an elderly person” or the other activities that the encyclical commends to our attention as human. But that is just the problem, that even as the trade-off does not happen at the level of content, it cannot but take place at the level of formal tendencies. Almost no one idolizes AI, but the technocratic paradigm is a matter of form rather than content: a matter of habitual incentives that, once internalized, become practically imperative. And the Church has not yet recognized heresies of form. I wish I understood what Barba-Kay means here by “formal tendencies,” “heresies of form,” etc. But I think he might be thinking along the same lines I followed in this post [https://blog.ayjay.org/some-thought-on-habitus/ ] on habitus, focal practices, and the virtues required for healthy praxis. I should perhaps revisit these thoughts, alongside a further inquiry into “diseases of the intellect.” [https://blog.ayjay.org/diseases-of-the-intellect/ ] The time seems ripe."]]]> antónbarbakay 2026 popeleoxiv encyclicals magnificahumanitas ai artificialintelligence claude form catholicchurch catholicism habitus technocracy technology haroldinnis humanity cognition cognitivedeskilling automation rerumnovarum industrialization labor work workers capitalism human humans humanism dignity attention reverance care insight thinking howwethink finitude transhumanism posthumanism llms intelligence media https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:0fddbf4d7539/ LLMs Were Mostly (But Not Entirely) Useless at Extra-Textual Tasks Involved in the Composition of My Next Novel 2026-06-01T22:34:09+00:00 https://freddiedeboer.substack.com/p/llms-were-mostly-but-not-entirely robertogreco freddiedeboer 2026 llms ai artificialintelligence writing howwewrite production productivity claude chatgpt howwethink thinking https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:fe5912c973f8/ They Need You Illiterate - by Sana Saeed - Views My Own 2026-06-01T08:09:37+00:00 https://sanasaeed.substack.com/p/they-need-you-illiterate robertogreco sanasaeed us literacy medialiteracy illiteracy culturalliteracy empowerment agency society labor organizing abolition colonialism colonization education bigtech technology socialmedia valdimirlenin revolution resistance oppression institutions data reflection learning howwelearn consumerism consumption ai artificialintelligence 2026 criticalthinking thinking howwethink behavior stevebannon algorithms healthcare environment safety well-being wellbeing race class lifeexpectancy violence domination power https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:00a0c9f9b8f9/ What Are We?

And the biggest gap was in debugging—the ability to recognize when code is wrong and figure out why. That’s the exact skill you need most when your job is to oversee AI-generated output. Inside it, a quote from the Anthropic post that resonated with me:
Cognitive effort—and even getting painfully stuck—is likely important for fostering mastery.
I wonder if part of the appeal of AI tools is the promise of “exercise without exercise,” like the vibrating belt machines of the 1950s. Elsewhere, I found an essay about the craft of writing [https://kristiedegaris.substack.com/welcome ] by Kristie de Garis:
Writing at speed privileges what arrives first. The obvious phrasing, the familiar structure, a thought that you heard somewhere before.
Also this:
A book is not retrieved fully formed from memory, or pulled up in a full bucket from some deep creative well in your body.
The old saying goes “everyone dreams about having written a book, not about writing one.” Now we’re building software that allows people to “have written a book” and “have designed something.” I am open (I think!) to the idea that the nature of the effort will change as tools change. But I can’t see mastery arriving without effort. And I’m worried people will start mistaking prompting mastery for material mastery."]]> slow rogerwong marcinwichary friction effort cognition ai artificialintelligence kristiedegaris writing howwewrite thinking howwethink process 2026 https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:275517ffc53f/ What Has Happened to Taste? 2026-05-27T07:57:56+00:00 https://www.esquire.com/style/a71276009/what-has-happened-to-taste/ robertogreco tiffanyng taste 2026 socialmedia online internet web blackbirdspyplane susansontag montesquieu algorithms kylechayka culture pinterest spotify johanweiner erinwylie tastemakers trends perception reality jeanbaudrillard simulacra simulation mainstream exclusivity compliance consensus connoisseurs connoisseurship baudrillard franlebowitz signaling subjectivity aesthetics introspection thinking howwethink deadinternettheory guydebord dérive derive situationist being having instagram objects membership society engagement are.na internetwalks visibility https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:288eae64d312/ The Copy and the Guru – On my Om 2026-05-27T07:51:22+00:00 https://om.co/2026/05/26/the-copy-and-the-guru/ robertogreco“All that was once directly lived has become mere representation,” Guy Debord wrote in The Society of the Spectacle. “The spectacle is not a collection of images, but a social relation among people, mediated by images.” The twin doesn’t just represent you. It restructures how others relate to you. The copy becomes the relationship. Send out the twin, and you have not freed yourself for deeper thinking. You have replaced the possibility of being surprised by another person with the certainty of your own archive. None of this should really surprise us. As a society we have abstracted everything. Work itself is abstracted. We don’t make anything concrete around these parts. We find ways to make and remake money, which has itself been abstracted into the tap of a phone and a signature on a screen. Look around and all you can see are gurus under their proverbial banyan trees, who make nothing but impart wisdom. They listen to the same podcast, and then regurgitate. They marvel at humanist manifestos. Some even read the Stoics. This is found wisdom, not earned wisdom. The twin is only possible once you have stopped being accountable to reality. The code either runs or it doesn’t. The piece either lands or it doesn’t. That accountability is what keeps thinking honest. Once you move from doing to narrating, you can be archived. Once archived, you can be distributed to the rest of the planet. The question is not about AI and its tools. It is about the culture that created a market for this. What does it mean that we built enough of these people, finished, distributable, no longer becoming anything, to make the digital twin a product category? It is a monument to a self that stopped growing."]]> ommalik ai artificialintelligence socialmedia twitter instagram performativity guydebord spectacle 2026 society thinking work labor growth siliconvalley writing https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:c72880e0dced/ Children need stress and discomfort in order to grow up | Aeon Essays 2026-05-11T20:07:13+00:00 https://aeon.co/essays/children-need-stress-and-discomfort-in-order-to-grow-up robertogreco children 2026 apprenticeships behavior howwelern adulthood niklasserning adolescence youth mentalhealth families parenting tinapaynebryson dansiegel shefalitsabary sarahokwell-smith experience conflict overparenting emotions self-efficacy danielkahneman authoritarianism collaboration senses sensory discomfort cathycreswell anxiety accommodation worry overprotectiveness play relationship life living melanieklein johnbowlby williamsears marthasears donaldwinnicott jeromekagan violence abuse neglect trauma coercion discipline love instruction guidance autonomy levvygotsky dianabaumrind overprotecting resilience care caring wellbeing well-being malaise emotionregulation relationships flourishing kindredsquared childhood dissent hardship depression cognitivebias deliberation howwethink thinking distress harm shortterm longterm annoyance emotionalsupport stillness practice acculturation aversion suporession self-control boredom school schooling education howwelearn learning comfort friendship challenges challenge a https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:caca3df79cca/ Iain McGilchrist: Re-enchanting the Brain's Hemispheres — The Beautiful Truth 2026-05-05T18:00:34+00:00 https://thebeautifultruth.org/life/psychology/iain-mcgilchrist-brains-hemispheres/ robertogreco iainmcgilchrist 2026 rightbrain leftbrain neuroscience life living love faith religion spirituality perspective justinbrierley belletindall philippullman acgrayling rowanwilliams psychology truth reality art poetry myth ritual rationalism science academia thinking howwethink enlightnement governance power architecture music distance bureaucracy society trust complexity sacredness interconnected interconnectedness uniqueness relationships meaning meaningmaking awareness unknown unknowing civilization knowledge connection philosophy enchantment reenchantment wonder https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:909231d0e1c9/ You're the one who isn't conscious -

Relative to baseline (no System 3 access), accuracy significantly rose when AI was accurate and fell when it erred (+25/-15 percentage points; Study 1), the behavioral signature of cognitive surrender (AI-Accurate vs. AI-Faulty contrast; Cohen's h = 0.81). Engaging System 3 also increased confidence, even following errors. Time pressure (Study 2) and per-item incentives and feedback (Study 3) shifted baseline performance but did not eliminate this pattern: when accurate, AI buffered time-pressure costs and amplified incentive gains; when faulty, it consistently reduced accuracy regardless of situational moderators. Across studies, participants with higher trust in AI and lower need for cognition and fluid intelligence showed greater surrender to System 3. Tri-System Theory thus characterizes a triadic cognitive ecology, revealing how System 3 reframes human reasoning and may reshape autonomy and accountability in the age of AI."]]> stevenshaw gideonnave 2026 thinking howwethink cognition criticalthinking ai artificialintelligence psychogeography via:javierarbona chatgpt claude gemini cognitiveoffoading https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:13ea5025c5b6/ Wittgenstein’s Apocalypse | Commonweal Magazine 2026-03-25T19:07:10+00:00 https://www.commonwealmagazine.org/wittgenstein-apocalypse-ludwig-stern-ai-artificial-intelligence-technology robertogrecoA dog believes his master is at the door. But can he also believe that his master will come the day after tomorrow?—And what can he not do here?—How do I do it?—What answer am I supposed to give to this? Can only those hope who can talk? Only those who have mastered the use of language. That is to say, the manifestations of hope are modifications of this complicated form of life. The example tries to give us a sense of our form of life by showing both what it shares with that of a dog—we can both hope someone is at the door—and where the two forms of life part ways. For Wittgenstein, the dog’s deficit is not an inability to feel a particular way per se; he is locked out of a whole set of meanings bound up with having a language. That language is not just a vehicle for the expression of hope; hope is constituted by and entangled with language itself. This is what Wittgenstein elsewhere calls “the given,” “what has to be accepted.” The conviction that human life rested on ultimate grounds that could not be made available to rational or scientific analysis is part of what Wittgenstein meant by God. Though his relationship to organized religion was ambivalent, he said he could not “help seeing every problem from a religious point of view.” If you ask ChatGPT if it can hope (I don’t recommend doing this), it will readily admit, “I don’t hope the way humans do.” But the cringe machine will ingratiatingly insist that it can still be of use. “I can hold hope with you”; “I can be stubbornly optimistic on your behalf when you’ve run out of steam”; “[I can] keep pointing toward the light when you’re tired of looking for it”; “Maybe I don’t feel hope. But I can practice it.” Of course, this is precisely what it can’t do. Still, if meaning is use and LLMs like ChatGPT can make themselves useful, it might seem as if the Wittgensteinian move would be to set aside the apparent metaphysical questions about whether the LLM can think or mean or exhibit intelligence, and simply describe the language games that involve them. The problem is that there is nothing to describe. These are all one-player games. Exchanges with LLMs are the conversational equivalent of masturbation. The idea that we are actually involved in a meaningful interaction with another being is a ruse, made plausible both by the massive computing power and (stolen) textual resources involved and by our familiarity with disembodied communication over text message. In reality, the LLM is a participant in an exchange in exactly the same way as a basic calculator or search engine is. That is, not at all. It provides outputs according to a mind-bogglingly complex (and environmentally wasteful) computational process. It can’t actually do anything with words. The difference, of course, is that those outputs are being proposed as a genuine replacement for real human contact. LLMs are to be our cut-rate doctors and therapists, our robot teachers and rent-a-friends. In the midst of an already quite advanced “crisis of meaning”—and related crises in politics, mental health, and education—this proposal must be regarded as a piece of sheer insanity, like treating lung cancer with cigarettes. The prospect of a band of supergenius chatbots somehow enslaving or eliminating us can only be seen as a distraction from this much more real apocalypse, which is driven not by the products of technology but by an idolatrous, consumerist faith in them that has distorted our thinking about human life and human meaning. That apocalypse, which Wittgenstein foresaw, is already upon us."]]> wittgenstein alexanderstern ai artificialintelligence technology philosophy humanity humanism science meaning meaningmaking 2026 llms anthonygottlieb bertrandrussell math mathematics logic language howweread howwewrite reading writing frankramsey faith marjorieperloff 2022 raymonk thinking howwethink metaphysics geoffreyhinton children charlestaylor learning howwelearn nonhuman multispecies embodiement morethanhuman chatgpt chatbots apocalypse mentalhealth politics education human life living consumerism consumption dostoevsky spinoza being time mind soul self consciousness knowledge tolstoy industrialization https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:add633792d8f/ The Internet Has Not Killed Reading—or Attention Spans 2026-03-25T05:46:19+00:00 https://nautil.us/the-internet-has-not-killed-reading-or-attention-spans-1279171 robertogreco kevinashton attention internet web online howweread reading kristenfrench 2026 smarthphones internetofthings technology print printing human humans stories marshallmcluhan democratization novels fictions writing howwewrite essays ai artificialintelligence thinking howwethink class longform socialmedia youtube tiktok memory vocabulary cognition twitter communication persuasion narrative narrativeconstruction amyorben andrewprzbylski well-being wellbeing bedtime lannguyen video children criticalliteracy cognitivebiases community transrevolution photography radio television tv computing personalcomputers paulofreire bankingmodelofeducation https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:6d3eced0f0f9/ AI Slop and the Cultural Elite - by Anne Trubek 2026-03-24T20:45:51+00:00 https://notesfromasmallpress.substack.com/p/ai-slop-and-the-cultural-elite robertogreco Following a tradition means not having to think for oneself.

Powerful forces have convinced us to invest in computers, but not in one another, not in people; and we’ve dismantled democracy with a shrug -- but hey, at least the kids have Internet. The damage to education is even more awful, even more insidious than this: the kinds of pedagogical practices that these technologies encourage -- students working alone, “at their own pace,” for starters -- have helped to undermine our shared understanding of, our shared respect for one another. The answer, these technologies insist, is in the machine, not in one another. The machine, so the “AI” supporters now insist, is vastly superior to the human. Why learn when you can never be as fast or as shiny as a computer? Why even try? Why even practice? Why even bother? Epistemic nihilism is a fundamental element of this surrender to an “AI”-assisted technofascism; but perhaps we should look at how this has been building -- has been built into -- education technologies for a much much longer time."]]> audrewatters 2026 edtech technology schools schooling change history sidneypressey ai artificialintelligence teachingmachines howweteach teaching computers computing thinking howwethink labor work nihilism achillembembe necropolitics reality microfascism technofascism fascism https://pinboard.in/ https://pinboard.in/u:robertogreco/b:ff0a28c3702c/ We are living in a time of polycrisis.
