Just because a high risk / immunocompromised person in your life ignores covid - doesn’t mean it isn’t a threat to their life. It just means internalized ableism AND covid are a threat to their life. 🫶 Don’t use people as your shield to be ignorant.

avisarle a recursos humanos que mis jefes no me pueden dar más materiales hechos con ia para remendar porque el papa no me deja

Vatican has done a very good comms job on that encyclical. Ati “disarming AI”, when he is aligning with Anthropic whose models have been used for US imperial ends. Deep deep decontextualisation is afoot.

So….how about some reparations?

It’s a good day to have been forcefully Catholicized as a youth

🚨: CIA faces furious backlash after hidden document with potential cure for cancer is declassified after 60 years

We need to destroy the fossil fuel industry yesterday and kill AI today

This is absolutely insane. We are causing our own extinction with data centers.

If you've ever helped empty out a boomers garage you know "we were just smart with our money and didn't buy tons of bullshit" is a bald faced lie.

“REPARATIOOOOONNNNSSSS!!!” — Monaleo

Brené Brown, researcher and author, on the contradiction she keeps hearing in rooms full of tech billionaires: Her work puts her in rooms where the founders and CEOs of major tech platforms talk openly about how they think. What @BreneBrown hears there unsettles her: "So I hear someone say, 'Hey, you know, tech billionaire, what should my kids study? I'm worried for my kids… they should study coding, physics,' and then five minutes later, as if that answer didn't happen, someone will say, 'What do you attribute your success to?' I mean deeply when you think about it, and the same person will say, 'My deep reading of philosophy and the stoics.'" The contradiction is what stops her: the same people crediting philosophy and the liberal arts for their own success are telling other parents their kids should focus on coding and physics. That gap leads her to a bigger, more uncomfortable question: "I start to extrapolate from there and wonder if there is a thinking class that's emerging where they're like, 'We're going to read philosophy and we're going to read the liberal arts and we're going to study history, and the rest of you just keep scrolling. Don't worry about the big words. We'll handle all the big words for you.'" She points to Steve Jobs as an early signal of the same pattern: "It's like when they asked Steve Jobs, 'Boy, your kids must love the iPad.' Steve Jobs said, 'My kids don't have an iPad.' And then his biographer who spent time with his family said he wasn't kidding. There's no technology. At dinner, they're talking about art and history." The takeaway is simple but uncomfortable. The people building these platforms are protecting their own kids from them, and giving them books, ideas, and real conversation instead. So why are the rest of us being sold something different?

So are we calling it McCarthyism again or are we naming it after somebody else this time

This is precisely why Bolivia isn't on mainstream news anywhere right now

Man i really wish we have more people with authority in our fight against generative ai- THE POPE??????????

never considered religious war against ai to contribute in its downfall but i’ll take any ally atp

"Anthropic’s Roman moment is a masterclass in soft-power repositioning. By embedding itself in the Vatican’s moral architecture at the precise moment it is under fire from Washington, the company is doing several things simultaneously:" decode39.com/14852/anthropi…

Massive geopolitical shift. Pope Leo officially equates artificial intelligence with the catastrophic threat of nuclear weapons. He demands immediate global disarmament to stop tech elites from using AI as an instrument of absolute domination & death. AI used in Gaza & Iran war

NEW: Pope Leo XIV released the first papal encyclical on artificial intelligence today, apologizing for the Catholic Church's historic role in legitimizing the slave trade and warning that the same dehumanization is now being engineered into the platforms shaping work, war, and democracy. He called on industry and governments to “disarm” AI — and shared the Vatican stage with Anthropic, the AI lab the Trump administration has blacklisted for refusing to give the Pentagon access to autonomous weapons. thelettersfromleo.com/p/disarm-ai-po…

The Vatican could have told Anthropic to stop stealing data, exploiting labor, killing the environment, deceiving us with anthropomorphic designs & lying about product "capabilities." Instead they partnered with them, like partnering with Sackler family to discuss harms of oxy.

the pope wrote a 42,000 word manifesto declaring war on AI. we are so freaking back.
