Beautiful day and glorious setting for a (so far brilliant) conference on Mongol connections across Eurasia in the long 13th century @chch_oxford @uniofoxford

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge good and evil, grasp the ultimate meaning of situations, or bear responsibility for consequences. They may imitate or even simulate, but they do not understand what they produce, for they lack the affective, relational, and spiritual perspective through which human beings grow in wisdom. #MagnificaHumanitas

The oxblood-coloured rood screen at St Ellyw's, Llanelieu in Powys is a remarkable medieval survival.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humanity, created by God in all its grandeur, is today facing a pivotal choice: either to construct a new Tower of Babel or to build the city in which God and humanity dwell together. In Jesus Christ, this humanity in its grandeur becomes the Way, the Truth and the Life, opening the path for each of us to grow toward fullness. #MagnificaHumanitas

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

[Dr Francis Young @DrFrancisYoung]

I don't think I've ever waited for an encyclical with as much anticipation as this one. It seems incredibly urgent - and it feels like Leo XIV is the man of the moment to call out this attack on human dignity, just as John Paul II was the man of the moment to confront Communism.
