@johnmilbank3 But the last Pope Leo clearly stated that private property is the fundamental way to "alleviate the condition of the masses".

Pope Leo is at one with socialism in the view that private property rights can never be allowed to override fundamental human needs, human dignity and the common good. But that implies a total reversal of prevailing norms.

@garrytan @ycombinator Doesn’t Hermes do this automatically?

“Skillify it” is the way you should write most tasks Write markdown that makes code Don’t make elaborate Foxconn factories to call agents Let agents make their own tools, kaizen style

@kvallier @jasondeanlee SSH and Termius

@jasondeanlee I keep hoping this feature will be added soon. It is such a hassle to go back and forth.

How can I use gpt-5.5-pro in the codex app? It seem to only work with codex cli, is this documented?

@TrueSlazac Evo Morales too

It’s so over for LatAm leftists 💔

@johnmilbank3 He also rejects the paternalistic State.

By calling again and again for businesses and an economy that do not put profit first, but rather people and their flourishing, Leo XIV in effect and rightly demands a system beyond capitalism (though not beyond the market). Not to realise this is to remain extremely confused.

@Noahpinion @ernietedeschi NJ is not where the nice nature is though. Eastern LI and Hudson Valley is where it's at.

@ernietedeschi Fast commuter rail would help a lot, PATH just isn't cutting it

SF is better than NYC for some things (nice views, tech industry, higher weirdo density, proximity to nature), while NYC is better for other things (public transit, food, art, getting laid). SF needs a subway, NYC needs prettier buildings.

@cafreiman This is the problem with a mega regulatory state solution to AI

Strangely, the socialist response to attempts to capture the redistributive and regulatory functions of the state is to expand the redistributive and regulatory functions of the state, thereby creating an even stronger incentive to capture them.

@tonyannett What's the point

Completely missing the point as usual.

@tbpn @tylercowen Religion will change in a lot of ways but it doesn't mean fundamental doctrines that have been passed on for thousands of years will change. Those are stronger than ever.

.@tylercowen believes AI will change religion just as profoundly as past technologies like the printing press. "People more and more look to the AIs for wisdom, therapy, counseling, warmth, and dialogue. This will extend into the sphere of religion." "Why ask your priest or rabbi when the AI knows more about the Bible or the history of the Catholic Church? I think a lot of people will do religion solo through their AIs. Over time, more oracles will evolve. It'll be an kind of implicit polytheism." "Religion changes every time there's a new technology. We saw that with the printing press. This is the next stage in that evolution." From his appearance on the show in January.

@johnmilbank3 @EricRSammons The competitive forces of the market spreads out power much better than government does.

@EricRSammons Equally? At least political leaders *are* political and are to a degree ‘representatives’.

The pope is absolutely correct to be concerned about power concentrated in the hands of a few tech leaders since "it tends to become opaque and evade public oversight." But I would argue we should be equally concerned when power is concentrated in the hands of political leaders.

@bgurley In the first paragraph of Rerum Novarum (the 1891 encyclical), Leo XIII speaks of the "marvellous discoveries of science". He also defends private property against the socialists, describing it as the fundamental way to "alleviate the condition of the masses". 100% right.

@Noahpinion Now look at people who are educated AND go to church.

Modern America figured out a replacement for churches. But you needed an above average IQ and a ton of student debt to get in. So our pseudochurches only worked for half of the population or less.

@Noahpinion Yo everyone should just be religious 😂

Feminism won, so women get to have midlife crises now too 🥳🥳🥳

@bgurley Where precisely does Leo XIII say that technology is bad or that technological progress should be halted? Neither the previous Leo nor the current Leo are anti-technology.

It's important to realize that technology, innovation, & capitalism have been the key drivers of improvements in human prosperity & increases in standards of living. Leo XIII was dead-wrong, and its a good thing he was not successful in blocking progress.

Pope Leo is NOT on an anti-AI crusade. He is on a pro-technology that serves humanity crusade.

@_Francis_co_Art Amazing. Now somebody needs to preserve them! And the azulejos on them

My book is finally out for Preorder!!! “Painting Portuguese Invisible Houses” Link in the comments 🍀

@TheChiefNerd The only good Pope take on this episode. The states still need to be able to experiment with regulation though.

🚨 DAVID SACKS: “I very much agree with the Pope that the biggest risk of AI is the centralization of power and then its misuse against us, in some Orwellian way. I think it's government that's going to do that.”

@lukeburgis Real vibe coders know you need feelings in the loop to make something good

As "intelligence" becomes saturated, and the limits of "willpower" (what is not more commonly called agency) are rightfully recognized, I believe the third part of the human person—that which has traditionally been called the "heart"—can not but rise in importance in the coming years. It's why I wrote a book that attempts to appeal to the heart even more than the head. The middle term between "knowing" and "reality" is affection. Not affection in terms of feelings, but affection in terms of an energy which attracts and bonds us to the real. Augustine would have called it love. "amor meus, pondus meum" — my love is my weight. It moves us toward things, grounds us, binds us. We move toward what we love. One of the things that I think AI is doing is making people feel like 'intelligence' is no longer worth investing in—if the machine will always be more intelligent, why bother?—and that agency is limited by how well you can use AI tools to scale. And what does that leave but the human heart, the affections, whose source is the love that ultimately moves the sun and the stars? I think that if you conceive of the affections or the heart as a kind of energy that binds knowledge to reality, you see what we have lost. This energy seems to be lacking, or completely missing, for many people. We know things in a way that feels sterile, and we encounter reality in a way that does not result in knowing. All of that is because the bridge, the middle term—the affective love, the energy to adhere to reality—is missing that would otherwise connect them.

@DanHugger awesome

Similar fan moment for Detroit sports in 2009 when Brandon Inge, through the first 86 games, batted .268 with 21 home runs and 58 RBIs.
