[Noahs Ark Scans @noahsarkscans]

Spooky season is officially upon us…

And what's scarier to an atheist than the possibility of Noah's Ark actually being found?

With radar scans revealing unusual structures beneath the surface, core drilling now complete, and hundreds of samples sent off for laboratory testing, the investigation at Durupınar is getting more interesting by the day.

Now we wait for the results.

Some things are scarier than ghosts.

Today we're releasing our AI SDLC transformation playbook, where we share best practices to deploy AI at enterprise scale

Engineering leaders frequently ask how Atlassian thinks about our AI-native SDLC. This playbook is our answer, informed by our own transformation and learnings from top engineering organizations we work with

Come find us at the AI SDLC booth at Team '26 EU this week for a physical copy (and merch) https://t.co/aeVj3qsNlL

@jmwind Keep iterating and simplifying. Non-stop. The flow isn’t done until it’s the laziest,default,most-natural thing for the user. Sometimes I spend hours crafting something only to realize that I should of gone further upstream.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

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.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

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. https://t.co/iG3Bnlzt2J

Pope Leo XIV at UNESCO asks “what does it mean to be human?”

Watch and listen to the Pope’s magnificent reflection:

“What does it mean to be human? Every culture is challenged by this question, which lies at the heart of every form of knowledge, every art and every religion. Even in the twenty-first century, after all, we cannot take for granted that we know who the human person is or what it means to live as a human being. Indeed, every generation is called to grapple with this question, especially in the face of tragedies that, regrettably, occur even today.

Before all else, the human person is someone who is conceived and born.  Thus, first of all, to be human means to be a child. None of us chose to be so. None of us decided from whom, when or where to be born. This evident truth sheds light on something that is not merely biological but ethical: as children, we are all brothers and sisters. From the outset, our humanity is a gift and a trial, a promise and a responsibility. For every human being, birth establishes a primordial bond — a communion of life that has its source, and its first educational setting, in the family.

Secondly, we are all born naked and in need. We are poor by birth, in need of bread and words, of care and affection — that is, of all that nourishes body and spirit. We know this well, and yet, as we become adults, we risk forgetting it. It is precisely those in need who suffer the greatest consequences of this forgetfulness, whenever their humanity is betrayed or cast aside, exploited or deceived. Forgetting the circumstances of our birth obscures the very idea of human life, because it detaches life from the history common to us all. Thus, life is no longer understood as a gift, but as a commodity. It is no longer viewed as a summons to care and responsibility, but as a product to be exploited. Indeed, this tragic alternative reminds us that to be human is to be free by nature. Since all of us have been children, our freedom begins with our response to the freedom of the one who first turns to us — whether with gestures of affection or rejection, of loving welcome or neglect and cruelty.

Thirdly, to keep alive the memory of our common humanity is to recognize its grandeur — that is, its immense potential — even though it is diminished by many forms of evil and injustice. Those engaged in the fields of education, science and culture are called all the more to care for every person, so that the beauty of our freedom may shine forth. This beauty has a name: justice. Freedom is indeed beautiful when it is oriented toward goodness and truth; it is disfigured when it descends into arbitrariness, violence or the thirst for power. To be human, then, implies a responsibility before history: the human being is one who grows, learns and works with both hands and mind. By that labor, we may cultivate the earth or disfigure it, create works of art or destroy them. At this particular juncture, we must recognize that the most terrible of “human works” is war, for then science itself is placed at the service of an inhumane will to destroy and to kill.”

We stealth-churned off Notion months ago.

We didn't realize it. We didn't tell Notion.

It's just ... our agents have no need for it. They're doing the work now.

Stealth churn is the under-discussed agent risk. Usage drops to zero quietly. The renewal email never even goes out.

Lord, hold close the families who lost loved ones on 9/11. Bring comfort to hearts that still ache and peace to those carrying grief. Help us honor those we lost by caring for one another with love and compassion. We will never forget. Amen
