[Ole Lehmann @itsolelehmann]

the pope and anthropic's co-founder just stood together at the vatican to release "magnifica humanitas," the first ever catholic teaching on AI

yes, you read that right. the full ceremony was 2 hours.

here's the most interesting things for you to know:

1. this is the biggest religious response to AI in history. popes only put out a handful of these huge official letters in their entire time as pope. the fact that one of them is about AI tells you how seriously the church is taking what's coming.

2. small detail with massive meaning: this pope picked the name "leo XIV" on purpose. the last pope named leo was leo XIII back in 1891, and his most famous act was writing the church's response to the industrial revolution. picking the same name is a deliberate signal. this pope sees AI as the new industrial revolution.

3. the catholic church does this every time a major technology reshapes humanity. they wrote "rerum novarum" in 1891 to respond to the industrial revolution. when nuclear weapons threatened the world in the 1960s, they wrote "pacem in terris." climate change and runaway tech got "laudato si" in 2015. now AI gets "magnifica humanitas." they don't issue these often.

4. the pope's main line: "AI needs to be disarmed." he literally compared AI to nuclear weapons. he said the church spent decades pushing for nuclear disarmament because the technology was too dangerous to leave in the hands of a few. he says AI is now in that same category.

5. anthropic co-founder christopher olah told the pope, on stage at the vatican, that anthropic's own research team keeps finding things inside their AI models that "mirror joy, satisfaction, fear, grief, and unease."

6. olah's reframe of what AI actually is: these things are grown. they're trained on a structure roughly modeled after the human brain and fed everything humans have ever written. in his own words: "they are made from us, from our words." he said even the people building them don't fully understand what's happening inside.

7. olah publicly admitted that every AI lab, including his own, faces pressure that can conflict with doing the right thing. commercial pressure to keep shipping, competitive pressure from other labs, plus the older pressures of pride and ambition. his solution: we desperately need outside critics with no skin in the game who will tell the labs when they're failing.

8. olah says there are 3 giant questions the AI labs cannot answer alone and the world needs religion and philosophy to step in on:

> how do we make sure poor countries actually benefit from AI?
> what does human flourishing even look like in this new world?
> and what are these things we're actually building?

9. one of the sharpest lines in the whole encyclical: "the promise of automatic general prosperity often proves illusory." translation: the idea that AI will just make everyone rich on its own is a fantasy. someone has to actually design the system so the benefits get shared.

10. the pope also pulled out a 100-year-old quote: "contemporary man has not been trained to use power well." said by a theologian back in the 1920s. the whole encyclical is basically a long argument that we need to learn how to use this kind of power before it uses us.

11. the pope kept stressing that he doesn't have the technical answers. but he says the church has thousands of years of wisdom on what it means to be human, and that wisdom is exactly what's missing from how we're building AI right now. his closing line: this technology should serve "human flourishing and human dignity, not control consciences."

When a Vermont woman battling terminal cancer longed for one last taste of her favorite meal, tempura broccoli from Ekiben in Baltimore, her son in law reached out just for the recipe.

Instead, chef Steve Chu drove 6 hours with his team, set up fryers outside her home, and cooked it fresh for her in the parking lot.

@nunes_secret @surgite75 @Mollyploofkins @donkoclock You have to properly seal and prime any kind of surface especially one thats constantly in contact with water. The fact there's bubbles or peeling paint means there's moisture or debris already underneath the final coat. Fucking amateurs.

[Big Hurt @B1GC335]

@nunes_secret @MeidasTouch Did they even prime or waterproof before applying the final coat? I didn't see any primer applied 1st. Rookies

@chrishardman It was my 1st time in Utah, (Ogden) this past February and it was truly one of the most amazing experiences to wake up to beauty like this out of my hotel window. I hope to catch a Raptors game here next time and I also hope the incredible views stay that way.

Michael Wolff (August, 2025): “A new book was published yesterday called ‘Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York.’ It contains a passage in which Epstein is quoted where he says he had sex with Melania a full year before Donald Trump commenced his relationship with Melania”

"We, the People" that participated in the "No King Marches" throughout the nation, and those that were unable to attend BUT supported the marches finacially, or in "spirit" due to Work or Family obligations, ALL EMBRACE POPE LEO'S spiritual reference to the march as a lone voice that speaks a vital TRUTH to a society that is either indifferent, hostile, or "spiritually barren".

Victor Glover failed an engineering class his sophomore year of college. His dad talked him out of joining the Navy SEALs and told him an engineering degree and pilot wings might make him an astronaut someday. Right now Glover is somewhere between the Earth and the Moon.

He grew up in Pomona, California. Played quarterback in high school, wrestled well enough to place sixth at the state championship, won Athlete of the Year. Went to Cal Poly for engineering and played both sports at the college level.

He got his Navy wings in 2001 and started flying F/A-18 fighter jets off aircraft carriers. His squadron deployed on the USS John F. Kennedy to fight in Iraq, the carrier’s final deployment ever. Twenty-four combat missions. His commanding officer gave him the callsign “Ike,” short for “I Know Everything.”

He became a test pilot at Edwards Air Force Base and over his career flew more than 40 types of aircraft, 3,000 hours in the air, everything from a Korean War-era Soviet MiG-15 to the Goodyear blimp. More than 400 landings on a moving carrier deck. He earned three master’s degrees in three years. He once told Cal Poly’s president that the hardest thing he ever chose to do was walk in space. The second hardest was wrestling practice.

He applied to NASA in 2009 and got rejected. Applied again in 2013 while working in the U.S. Senate for John McCain. NASA’s head of flight crew operations called him. He missed the call. Frantically dialed back. Eight people got in that year out of more than 6,000 applicants.

NASA put him in the pilot seat for the first operational SpaceX Crew Dragon flight in 2020. He spent 168 days on the International Space Station and walked in space four times.

Last June he went back to Cal Poly to accept an honorary doctorate. His wife Dionna and their oldest daughter Genesis both walked across the stage at the same ceremony to pick up their own degrees.

Three days ago Glover launched from Kennedy Space Center. The crew will fly past the far side of the Moon on Monday and travel about 252,000 miles from home, breaking a distance record that Apollo 13 set fifty-six years ago. They come back at roughly 25,000 mph.

He has four daughters. His callsign is still Ike.

Esta noche, el canal británico Channel 4 emite un documental en exclusiva que podría cambiar muchas cosas

Han conseguido que varios soldados del ejército de Israel les cuenten qué han hecho, y lo que describen es bárbaro

Básicamente, y en contra de lo sostenido por el Gobierno de Israel, afirman que Israel utiliza un sistema de inteligencia artificial que asigna puntuaciones a los palestinos y que, si esa puntuación supera un umbral concreto, la IA ejecuta automáticamente una orden de asesinato

Es decir, que Israel estaría cometiendo un genocidio con un sistema de inteligencia artificial que no está siendo supervisado por seres humanos, y con un saldo que, según dicen, aceptan de un soldado por cada 20 civiles muertos, o de hasta 300 si se trata de una persona relevante

Básicamente, una doctrina Dahiya con esteroides y, claramente, una atrocidad sin parangón desde el uso de armas químicas

We may never know who introduced Takuya Nakamura to UK Jungle music, after moving from Tokyo to Boston to study Jazz theory - but I, for one, am very grateful.

OK, so Karoline Leavitt asked Getty Pictures to delete this unflattering photo of her, so this is me telling you all NOT to RT and share this many times all over the place.

Whatever you do, DON'T RT this.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. 😏

So Kristi Noem's husband apparently likes to crossdress and wear massive fake boobs...

National security experts warn it could have opened up the ex-Cabinet member to blackmail

What an insane report from @JoshTBoswell and @newshound990
