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
Trump’s border policies are SAVING LIVES! Fentanyl deaths are down 55%, meth down 34%, and heroin down 89%. Even Bill Maher had to admit that closing the border, deporting gangbangers, and disrupting drug cartels worked!

Chamath explains the political calculus behind Obama’s anti AI speech
“This is a very important moment for a very simple reason, which is that the world is about to endow 3-6 companies with about $10 trillion of wealth.”
“And what Obama knows very well is that most of those companies are overwhelmingly left leaning. And what he also knows is that there is a huge portion of that money that will then get put into philanthropic and charitable causes that then he and the people around him will be beneficiaries of."
“That is the truth. We already know this because we know that some of these frontier corporations actually ask you to sign up DAFTs and have a portion of your stock that you're willing to pledge. So this money is going to go to things other than consumption or savings. It's going to go into PACs, it's going to go into political movements, and they stand to disproportionately benefit."
“So this has nothing to do with prosperity. This is a very simple political calculus. If you freeze frame the economy the way it is today, a handful of organizations that will disproportionately be able to affect the Democrats will win, they will capture the lion's share of the economic gains. And then they will help the Democrats win power. That's all this is."
🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: SCARY SCENE in the UFC tonight as fighter immediately rushed to the hospital after going LIMP during a takedown
Raoni Barcelos appeared to go limp during a takedown in his main event against Raul Rosas Jr. in Las Vegas and never got back up.
The broadcast cut away from the stretcher but caught medics rushing him out of the cage with his body limp, and he was taken straight to the hospital.
Rosas got the win and spent the aftermath looking shaken, which says plenty about how bad it looked up close.
There is no word yet on his condition. Prayers to him and his family🙏

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Sec. Bessent on Iran:
"On September 23, ALL Iranian airlines will be shut down around the world.
How do we do that?
If they land, you cannot provide them with fuel, you cannot provide them with landing services, you cannot sell them tickets, or you will be knocked out of the dollar system."
If they end up doing this, Iran will certainly respond...

🚨 THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES HAVE JUST INVADED IRAN FROM WITHIN.
After Iran bombarded them relentlessly with missiles and drones, the UAE responded with full FAFO activated.
Emirati forces have been carrying out direct military attacks on Iranian territory for several days. This is not a rumor. Fox confirms: they are inside the Islamic Republic, hitting hard.
This is no longer a missile exchange. This is open warfare.
The Gulf nations are aligning themselves strongly. The Persian bear kept poking... and now it's getting real swipes.

Professor Jiang just said it out loud: Iran's next move destroys global trade - America's response starves 10 MILLION.
Not a big set-piece war.
Random strikes: Saudi energy, Hormuz, Suez, Shipping lanes.
The target isn’t ships.
It’s insurance.
Once insurers won’t cover the routes, the whole system freezes.
Then he said the part nobody wants to hear:
America’s response isn’t a ceasefire.
It’s hitting Iran’s power plants and desalination plants.
A city of 10 million.
Food sitting in dead refrigerators.
He called it worse than a nuclear weapon.
Not because they want to.
Because the empire can’t look beatable.
That’s the game theory.
That’s the price.
