@EricLevitz And, honestly? That’s justified. Quiet truth.

Not here to share profound thoughts on the encyclical, but I do have thoughts on how to read an encyclical. #magnificahumanitas #AI #PopeLeo #encyclical

@Freyy_is Quiet truth

@rclu Love it!!! That’s great! And I had just published my Church Life Journal piece where I mentioned Tolkien and not giving into despair. 🤣

While we’re all waiting for @Pontifex encyclical, how about reading my latest piece @ChurchLifeND on AI? Let’s lean into being human. #ai #LLMs #tech #magnificahumanitas

We Catholics feel we have a lot to say about AI, but it’s important to understand how LLMs actually work. Check out my latest post! #LLMs #AI #Ninjago #artifacts #philosophy #theology #LeoXIV

My lectionary reflection for the 6th Sunday of Easter is up on the Catholic Moral Theology Substack! "We are guided by the Holy Spirit, who will help us to love God by following his commands, and in this, we will find the freedom of friendship with God."

This is one reason I’m grateful for AI. I wanted to see the fertility decline and pornography usage data superimposed, and it only took a few minutes to have three different charts.

@jrmcmanaway Yes!!!! Was thinking that when I wrote this during the sede vacante (published just after Leo’s election). https://t.co/iRMuuPBAbt

Home, again! Mission complete. I hope we glorified God, humanity, our families and our terrific teams a @NASA and @csa_asc. Time to share the good news!

@stuartbuck1 That’s the best part of the whole thing.

Happy Easter on this blessed day of overlap between the Gregorian and Julian calendars! He is Risen indeed!

I’ve been thinking all week about the juxtaposition between the guards at the tomb, who were so terrified by what they saw that the became “as dead men,” and the women, also terrified, who nevertheless did not faint or flee but stood and listened. And left still frightened but also “overjoyed” by what they had heard. It was preposterous, but they believed.

Easter is so wonderful, but it’s hard to hold the moment: too beautiful and strange to grasp except in fleeting glimpses. But maybe that’s enough. I find myself praying, “Speak, Lord, and I’ll try not to run!”

The Catholic Moral Theology blog is now on Substack!!! Learn all about the awesome recently released book Reclaiming Human Agency in this first post!

This is like knowing LinkedIn is an LLM source when 50% of long-form posts on LinkedIn are AI-generated.

OpenAI's latest repo has Claude as the third top contributor 😭😂

[Maria C. Morrow @MariaCMorrow]

I love that our gospel today features a woman, Mary of Bethany, anointing Jesus’s feet to Judas’s dismay. God loves us so extravagantly in Jesus’s passion, and Mary shows us a real human reciprocity of such extravagant love.

Celebrating the Annunciation toward the end of Lent seems totally fitting for Moms! We do this kind of multi-tasking all the time.

@rclu @MichaelPakaluk I haven’t run into that scenario like you and your husband have, but I believe it!
