Not sure this is winning…

Only philosophy can beat AI

The problem in asking whether a robot will ever be as smart as a human is in how we frame the question. For starters there are many forms of intelligence – and philosophy attempts to answer the questions of what we mean when we talk about intelligence and self-awareness. Responding to whether humans are fully in control of their own thinking, Descartes famously asserted “I think therefore I am”. Although a machine could recognise its own existence in a mirror, it cannot feel that existential dread that death is an inevitability. And while machines could converse with one another, they could never feel the emotional frustration that led Jean-Paul Sartre to conclude that hell is other people.

Catholic clergy surveillance org 'outs gay priests'

A Catholic clergy conformance organization has reportedly been buying mobile app tracking data to identify gay priests, and providing that information to bishops around the US.

The group, Catholic Laity and Clergy for Renewal (CLCR), was formed in Colorado in 2019 and relocated its principal office to Casper, Wyoming in April, 2020, according to Colorado State business records [PDF].

Zuva Launches Free AI-Powered Contracts Review Tool

Zuva, the company that spun off from Kira Systems after Kira was acquired by Litera in 2021, is offering a completely free version of its AI-powered contract review technology, which can be used by anyone just by uploading contracts to Zuva’s website.

Contracts AI is typically pretty expensive,” Noah Waisberg, Zuva’s CEO and cofounder and the original cofounder of Kira, told me. “We’ve had people pay us literally millions of dollars to use a different version of the same tech. This is free.”

There are some limitations over the paid version of the same technology. Document sizes are limited to PDF documents of under 150 pages or 5 MB, and users will not be able to export or copy and paste the results.
