Unholy AI

I just listened to Jim Acosta’s interview with the AI version of Joaquin, the victim of the Parkland shooting, and his father.

I do not know how parents cope with such loss, and I do not think it is for anybody to question how anyone grieves the loss of a loved one - though I am skeptical that creating an AI version of a lost loved one is healthy or productive as relates to the grieving process.

From a journalistic and political perspective:

I was going to give Jim a hard time for somehow turning a five minute interview of an AI version of a deceased child into an interview of him, but I suspect that was in the programming of the AI…

And I appreciate he was doing this interview as a favor to the wishes of the father.

That said, the “interview” was an abomination, and something about it feels fundamentally sacrilegious and immoral. Creating an AI version of a dead child to literally use for political purposes.

To create social media accounts in the name and likeness of the deceased, where, as ...

Some morning thoughts

Benny Johnson set up a GiveSendGo for Holly, the woman who was beaten unconscious in Cincinnati. link below. If you can support, consider giving. Otherwise, consider sharing…

on Twitter, I saw that Charlie Sheen had given $1000. he made a joke about how he played a baseball player for the Cincinnati Indians… Funny enough, we just watched Major league.

Some jackass in the replies commented how he could’ve dug a little deeper in his pockets, having only given $1000. Just out of curiosity, I went to look up Charlie’s net worth. Though I suspect it’s way more, it’s now listed at $3 million. Down from its high at $150 million when he was on 2 1/2 men.

I was pretty shocked, though it did lead to this morning deep thought.

In bad times, we struggle to get by. in good times, we worry about losing what we have. you want to help as much as you can. There is always the nagging fear of squirreling as much away as possible, just in case. there is the constant pressure of making sure you have enough to ...

Appearances

  • How Do Trump’s 2024 Voters View His First Six Months:

Art of the Day: The luscious luxury of a leathered Chesterfield that beseats me for most Bourbons awaits in storage in Las Vegas to return to Tennessee. The warmth from the tanned and refined animal hide covering its distinctly structured frame welcomes us all in its Italian handcraft ingenuity from its centuries of skilled in the craft. No better way to sit and chat for awhile. 

 

Wisdom of the Day: “Not only the wealth; but the independence and security of a Country appear to be materially connected with the prosperity of manufactures.” Alexander Hamilton.

The Barnes Brief: Friday, August 1, 2025

Art of the Day: My own photo from the midnight mass on Christmas Eve at Notre Dame in Paris. The lights just took a life of their own, expressing the evervescent and effusive spirit the Cathedral emanated that eve of Christmas Day, marrying solemnity to spirituality in the soul of the evening, as the parishioners gathered in this celebration of God in stone, that I can still feel with just a glance at this photo of what I could not quite grasp at the time. 

Wisdom of the Day: "So if you toe the party line and don’t question the money thing, then you can have a great career as an economist, as a professor of economics." Richard Werner.  

Recommendation of the Day: The Princes of the Yen. The work that put him on the dissident map, Richard Werner's explication of how Japan's economy could invest billions overseas with inflating housing bubbles at home, without major foreign capital flows in -- namely, the banks created the money, the secret the central planners fought so long to hide.

The Daily Barnes Brief: Thursday, July 31, 2025

Announcement: New Daily Barnes Brief: In this new daily edition, we will include Art of the Day; a Cultural Recommendation in books, films, or television; a Wisdom of the Day, insightful quote; any recent or scheduled Appearances, a Headlines top-5 of news items; a Library top-5 of curated articles of interest; a Cases of the Day, covering recent legal news; and, occasionally, but not always, a Closing Argument of a substack-style article on topical subjects of interest, though that will usually be reserved for the Weekly Barnes Brief published on Fridays. The Daily Barnes Brief will be published around lunchtime pacific coast time.  

Art of the Day: The wanderlust of travel and a time gone by. A time when dress style itself expressed elegance, with its top hats, suit vests, and tweed jackets for him, accompanied by an elegant fur, luscious gloves, and delicate dress for her, amidst the train travel amongst the mountainscapes that long shaped our ancestral world, finished by a warm croissant, a pain au chocolat, and an inviting, warm pot of freshly made coffee or tea in a tin container. My favorite place to travel would still be into time itself, but this would be the first stop. 

Cultural Recommendation: Great Power Politics, the defining book by Mearsheimer, the most prominent modern advocate of geopolitical realism. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/130333153-the-tragedy-of-great-power-politics-by-john-j-mearshimer

Wisdom of the Day: “The sad fact is that international politics has always been a ruthless and dangerous business, and it is likely to remain that way.” John Mearsheimer.
