Anthropic is going to the Vatican. On Monday, Chris Olah, Anthropic’s lead on “interpreting” AI, will stand beside Pope Leo XIV as he delivers his first encyclical, “Magnifica Humanitas,” concerning “safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence.” The timing is important: Leo’s letter arrives on the 135th anniversary of Rerum Novarum, the Catholic Church’s response to the first industrial revolution.

Peter Jackson says ‘THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM’ movie was inspired by ‘JOKER’. “The way that explored the Joker’s psychology while it was telling a story. We’ve got the story that’s in the appendices but we’ll tell it from an internal Gollum perspective.”
