AFL-CIO, a labor union that traces its intellectual roots to Pope Leo XIII, praises Pope Leo XIV’s encyclical as a gift that “echoes the fears and realities of working people.”
AFL-CIO ✊@AFLCIO

Pope Leo’s choice to issue his first encyclical on the threat of unregulated AI is a testament to the urgency of this issue for working people. America’s unions have and will continue to answer his call to defend the dignity of working people. aflcio.org/press/releases…

There are very few documents and thinkers outside of the Church cited in the footnotes of Pope Leo XIV's "Magnifa Humanitas", on safeguarding human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. One of the few who are, though, is Hannah Arendt's 'The Origins of Totalitarianism'. "As the philosopher Hannah Arendt wrote, the ideal subjects of such regimes are not so much those who are ideologically convinced, but rather 'people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction (i.e., the reality of experience) and the distinction between true and false (i.e., the standards of thought) no longer exist.'"

"When everybody is swept away unthinkingly by what everybody else does and believes, those who think are drawn out of hiding because their refusal to join is conspicuous and thereby becomes a kind of action.” Hannah Arendt

"We must...avoid the 'Babel syndrome'...the idolatry of profit that sacrifices the weak, a uniformity that neutralizes differences, & the pretense that a single language-even a digital one-can translate everything, including the mystery of the person, into data & performance."

@DavidDark Do you have a YouTube channel or actual online course? You should? It would be neat to consider how many people have credit and/or are better informed for reading a thought provoking sentence. Also, people with good ideas deserve to receive income from those ideas. Just saying...

Theory is just thinking. Critical thinking is just thinking carefully (not negatively). Critical race theory is just thinking carefully about race. Critical race theory is gospel (good news). Repent and believe it. Thank you for taking my online course.

@conservmillen @DavidAFrench The Bible is the composition notebook of a centuries-long caravan of asylum seekers. Critical race theory is serious thinking about constructs that legitimate terror. The Bible is critical race theory.

Loved this conversation. It feels to me the Vatican has a more clearly relayed AI position than our U.S. political parties, at this point. And perhaps it’s as @ChristopherHale says: because the Pope’s is based in a moral position, not a policy one.
Christopher Hale@ChristopherHale

I told @AliVitali that today was the realization of Peter Thiel’s worst fear — that the “woke American pope,” in his words, would take on Silicon Valley and challenge it to build an artificial intelligence in the service of humanity. Here’s the problem for Thiel. Leo deals in a currency he doesn't understand. There's no ballot that removes him, no impeachment, no indictment, no deportation order, no tariff that touches him. His authority comes from somewhere Thiel has no instrument to reach.

@MatthewBoedy So...I have a long thread voicing the alarmingly straightforward question of who approved @SalemMediaGrp's use of our @WhiteHouse when @JDVance told @VoteMarsha & the rest of us to try to get peeps fired for not mourning @charliekirk11 properly. 1/x x.com/DavidDark/stat…

Given @danielsilliman's knowledge of @SalemMediaGrp, I'm surprised that Salem (Mr. Kirk's employer) isn't mentioned in this @CTmagazine piece. Salem is broadcasting Kirk's show from @WhiteHouse today. 1/x christianitytoday.com/2025/09/died-c…
