Bologo··on New study finds that AI clergy get fewer donations than human clergy
"Robots may indeed be able to capably transmit religion’s content, but they lack critical credibility. People perceive robots as having less capacity for understanding and emotion – less “mind” – than humans.

And 'mind' is key to credibility. Robots cannot authentically believe or feel faith’s costs. Unlike human clergy, who sacrifice for their religion, robots and AI simply speak about matters of faith, without any commitment.

The research provides new evidence that artificial intelligence may face hard limits when entering roles that require credibility, commitment, and “mind”-like religious leadership."

It's cool but is is from 2018; why now?
Bologo··on Newsletter industry metrics?
Update - this was a helpful post with a list of some of the most-subscribed-to newsletters, but it's still pretty anecdotal: https://newslettercrew.com/the-most-popular-paid-subscriptio...
Bologo··on World now has 500 unicorns, 70% of which in US and China
When I first read that, I thought they meant real unicorns (i.e. horses with horns), not billion-dollar startups
Bologo··on What Delaware license plates tell us about social status signalling
True, it is pure status-signalling. According to the article, the average price for a 2-digit Delaware plate is $212,000. A single-digit plate got %675,000 in 2008.
