Pope Leo XIV on war in Iran:
"I think this has already been made very clear: the notion of a just war no longer applies. The problem is that just war theory developed in centuries when no one could have imagined the weapons we have today or humanity's capacity for destruction."

Deep inner suffering inevitably arises when the human person is reduced to performance, consumption, or a statistical datum. Many young people today live under the yoke of expectations to perform, immersed in an exasperated competitiveness that generates anxiety, fear of not measuring up, and disorientation.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Today, among the goods that are universally intended for everyone, we must also include new forms of property, such as patents, algorithms, digital platforms, technological infrastructure and data. In a context where the wealth of nations depends increasingly on knowledge and technology, when these goods remain concentrated in the hands of a few, without adequate forms of sharing and access, a new imbalance is created that contradicts the universal destination of goods. In turn, it widens the gap between the included and the excluded, between those who can participate in the digital revolution and those who remain on the margins. #MagnificaHumanitas

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Let us learn to be rich in a different way: more attentive to relationships, more intent on valuing the common good, more attached to the local area, more grateful in welcoming and integrating those who come to live with us.

Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.

He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.

Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

What kind of world are we leaving behind? Unfortunately, it is a world distorted by war and war-like language. This pollution of reason comes from the geopolitical sphere and invades every social relationship. Any simplification that creates enemies must be corrected, especially in universities, through complexity of thought and wise exercise of memory.

The Trump-Netanyahu war is not just about Iran.

Israel's Defense Minister says, “The fate of southern Lebanon will be the same as that of Gaza.”

2,702 people have been killed there, 1.6 million displaced and dozens of villages destroyed.

NO MORE U.S. MILITARY AID TO NETANYAHU.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

Aaron Swartz downloaded 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta) in 2010. Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

🦔Nvidia's VP of applied deep learning told Axios that for his team, the cost of compute is far beyond the cost of employees. An MIT study found AI automation is economically viable in only 23% of roles where vision is a primary part of the work, meaning human labor remains cheaper in the vast majority of cases. Uber's CTO said he's back to the drawing board because his 2026 AI budget is already blown. AI software fees have increased 20% to 37% over the past year. Despite all of this, Big Tech has announced $740 billion in capital expenditures for AI this year, a 69% increase from 2025, while laying off more than 92,000 tech workers.

My Take
The core contradiction of the AI moment is now being stated openly by people inside the industry. Companies are cutting human workers who are cheaper than the AI replacing them, to fund AI infrastructure that isn't generating measurable productivity returns, financed by investors who are also funding the AI companies selling the tokens at prices those companies cannot sustain without continued subsidy.

My honest read is that the workforce decisions being made right now are irreversible on a timeline the technology cannot meet. The entry-level pipeline being dismantled today will take a decade to rebuild. The engineers being cut to fund token budgets that exceed their salaries are the same people who would catch the failures when the AI gets it wrong. Companies are making permanent structural changes based on a cost structure that doesn't exist yet and a productivity case that by their own executives' admission hasn't materialized. At some point the distance between the bet and the reality has to close, and the people who absorbed the cost of being wrong won't be the ones who made the decision.
