A color photographs taken on the streets of Times Square in Manhattan, New York City. The glow of digital billboards light up the twilight ambiance. One of the billboards displays a title of a Beatles song in bold black lettering, "Love Is All You Need!" Rain on the wet pavement reflects the digital sign upside down as someone with a blue umbrella awaits the walk signal to cross the street.

A color poster, with title "Ten Frames #100, Two Minutes." The color photograph depicts a heap of trash stuck inside a lattice like pillar supporting the train tracks above. The prominent items that make the trash are paper cups. Of which the slideshow is about.

What a surprise to find a comic strip on Artificial Intelligence written by somebody called Montaigne!: Marion Montaigne présente l’Intelligence artificielle: https://youtu.be/DtdoNksCtmE Indeed, Montaigne discusses in the Essays whether the savages found mainly in Brazil are human beings or not and whether they should be considered humans, the way the barbarians in Ancient Greece have been finally recognised as such. As it is growing more and more difficult to recognise an artificial intelligence from a human being; I think reconsidering this classic is relevant as it challenges again human identity. Montaigne Chap XXX: Of Cannibals: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/3600/3600-h/3600-h.htm#link2HCH0030 Montaigne et la condition humaine – France Inter : https://www.franceinter.fr/emissions/un-ete-avec-montaigne/un-ete-avec-montaigne-06-juillet-2012 This point was also addressed in the film the Dispute in Valladolid, which is a reenactment of a historical event, or by Descartes with his concepts of “cogito, ergo sum” or “machina animata”. Valladolid debate – Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valladolid_debate Faut-il donner aux robots des droits et des devoirs? – France culture: https://www.radiofrance.fr/franceculture/podcasts/le-numerique-et-nous/faut-il-donner-aux-robots-des-droits-et-des-devoirs-3932527 From the conquistadors until now the concept of humanity has evolved. On the other hand, what is common to humanity, at each step, from the cannibals till now; is some human beings’ will to build weapons to kill others. Each time a new science has risen, some people have tried to find out how to use it to kill (physics, biology, chemistry and now AI). “AI technology has reached a point where the deployment of [autonomous weapons] is – practically if not legally – feasible within years, not decades, and the stakes are high: autonomous weapons have been described as the third revolution in warfare, after gunpowder and nuclear arms.” – The Guardian: ht…

It would be easy to reduce these tears to simple expressions of either happiness or sadness. But if we recognize the deeper well they are drawn from, the implications for what happens next are much more troubling. You can't just wipe away that feeling of rupture, or the decades of fear that preceded it. People become comfortable with the reality they know; they will mourn even an abusive father, and might require a lifetime to overcome the abuse. Even those who unreservedly despised him, but had no other leader, might not know what to look for in an alternative, or whether to trust a good steward if one comes along.
Why people shed tears for tyrants: Both loyalists and dissidents cried over the death of Ayatollah Khamenei. This common reaction to a dictator’s demise is a symptom of the damage they do. archive.ph/VWZ7M By

A vertical photograph of a person working outdoors at a bottle redemption center during a snowfall. The worker, wearing a dark vest over a red hoodie and gloves, stands with their back to the camera, stacking large, clear plastic bags filled with crushed aluminum cans. The bags are piled high inside a dark, open storage unit, nearly overflowing. To the right, three black barrels sit on the wet pavement. Above, a blue banner reads "GET YOUR NICKELS BACK!". Snowflakes are visible falling throughout the scene against the dark background.

A high-contrast black-and-white photograph taken at the entrance of Manchester Cathedral. Two massive, ornate stone pillars frame a scene of modern societal contrast. In the center, a small, light-colored tent is pitched on the damp pavement, tucked against a historic timber-framed wall. To the right, a worker in a high-visibility vest is blurred in motion, moving large industrial bins. The cold, wet texture of the ground and the imposing scale of the cathedral architecture emphasize the vulnerability and isolation of the person living in the tent amidst the city's daily routine.
Sanctuary?
