NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” Pope Leo XIV held firm.
For months, Anthropic has wined and dined theologians and religious scholars under nondisclosure agreements, hoping they would bless the idea that Claude has moral standing. thelettersfromleo.com/p/nyt-…

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Here’s Kamala Harris handing out meals to families who have been impacted by the wildfires in LA. Her first day out of office and she’s continuing to serve the public. This is what a real leader looks like.

75% of immigrant farm workers didn’t show up yesterday in Bakersfield because of fears of ICE raids under the new presidency.
America’s rural and agricultural regions will be the hardest hit from Trump’s immigration policies. Food prices are going to skyrocket.

A sitting member of Congress calls for the deportation of a bishop who asked Trump to show mercy to those in the country who are afraid.
We are in a dark moment in this country and have abandoned our founding principles. God have mercy on us.
Melanie Phillips retweeted
If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have deeply, deeply misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

He is the most ANTI-free speech president in modern American history. Complete authoritarian, con-man fraud.

So…
A convicted felon is going to cut crime?
A rapist is going to protect women?
A pathological liar is going to stand for truth?
An unrepentant racist is going to unite the races?
A man who filed 3 bankruptcies is going to help businesses?
A man who incites riots is going to keep the peace?
Make it make sense.

He is all powerful. He doesn’t have to do anything. He has the White House, the Supreme Court, the house, and the senate. And has full immunity.
Next he will unseat and replace any government agents that aren’t loyal to Trump personally, with Christian nationalists and maga extremists.
Everybody is acting like bc Election Day is over that democracy is fine and we were overreacting.
No, we didn’t see violence bc he got what he wanted. We haven’t begun to see what this regime will do to us.

I can’t get over the generals, the fucking generals, the most right wing, old timey conservative Republican people on Earth — they ALL said, “Trump is a dangerous fascist. Do not vote for him.”
And these dumbasses simply didn’t listen, didn’t care. And now we all have to pay.
Melanie Phillips retweeted
Never underestimate the power of large groups of stupid people.
He was the worst POTUS in history.
Impeached twice.
Convicted felon.
Tried to stage a coup.
Sold state secrets.
But hey …at least he isn’t an intelligent Black woman.

It takes a great deal of arrogance to live in the U.S. with over 200 different sects of Christianity, all with their own unique interpretation of the Bible, yet insist that other Christians aren’t “real Christians” unless they vote by your interpretation of “Biblical values.”
