Pope Leo XIV recently addressed the distinction between human understanding and AI's data processing capabilities. He emphasized that human experiences cannot be fully captured by mere data compilation. Anthropic's new policy raises moral considerations regarding AI welfare and abusive interactions. Technology leaders remain divided over the consciousness and emotional capacity of AI systems. As discussions continue, experts explore the implications of AI's growing sophistication on human identity and understanding.
The long-held reluctance of Indians to accept locally made "foreign" items as equally good alternatives until well into the 21st century probably stems from the notorious policy of "import substitution", a legacy of the era of socialist scarcity and Five-Year Plans. It was a typical sarkari diktat, supposedly to achieve economic self-reliance and protect domestic industry. But negligible focus on technology and quality benchmarking led to chronic sub-par products.

China ranked people in four groups: scholar, farmer, artisan, merchant. Shi, nong, gong, shang. The idea is old, found in the Guanzi. The scholar governs. Farmer grows food. Artisan makes things. The merchant makes nothing. He buys low, sells high and keeps the difference. So, he goes to the bottom. The first Han emperor, Gaozu, took this seriously. Sima Qian tells us he banned merchants from wearing silk and from riding in carriages. He taxed them hard. Made them look poor, even if they were rich. Then the state ran short of money.
