Generation Z has the lowest levels of interpersonal trust of any generation we've ever polled.
And although the data is time limited, the velocity of their decline in trust already far exceeds any previous generation.
@BernieSanders Now u just have to talk the @TheDemocrats into not sucking again. Way too many of my friends would like a reason to be excited and they seem committed to ruining the opportunity.
These two sides of Anthropic--Dario as the conscience of Silicon Valley, Dario as eager tool of aggressive US hegemony--won't surprise anyone who's been paying attention. As I put it a few months ago in @NonzeroNews:
The most darkly funny aspect of this video is that Ivanka Trump speaks as if she went on some profound, prolonged spiritual and philosophical journey to ascertain the meaning of life, and concluded that the most elevated human state is to live on a gigantic private island in the Mediterranean, in a sprawling mansion paid for with the billions of dollars given to her husband by the Saudis and Emiratis to ensure favorable treatment by him and by her dad in their exercise of the powers of the American Presidency. Real uplifting stuff. 🙏
AI is built on humanity’s collective knowledge.
The wealth it generates must benefit humanity — not just Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other AI oligarchs.
That’s why I’ll be introducing the American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act — to give the public a direct ownership stake.
In the era of #ArtificialIntelligence, when human dignity is threatened by new forms of dehumanization, ours is the pressing duty to remain profoundly human. We must lovingly safeguard the grandeur of humanity bestowed upon us and revealed in its fullness in Christ, the splendor of which no machine can ever replace. #MagnificaHumanitas

UPDATE: According to sources who have seen the final text, Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical, set for release tomorrow, will argue that humanity faces a defining choice regarding AI.
He uses the Tower of Babel — the ancient story of a people who tried to engineer their way to godhood and collapsed under the weight of their own power — as a warning about where unchecked technical mastery leads.
Instead, the U.S.-born pontiff will urge the world to build something humbler in its place: a civilization where God and humanity can dwell together.
UPDATE: Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical is expected to be long in length — over 150 pages.
It will specifically address the need for governing authorities to regulate the growth of AI.
Franklin Graham: There is a downward moral decline. Things that never would have been talked about publicly just 30 years ago, sinful behavior that should make us blush is now celebrated and flaunted on Main Street America.
