[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Human beings are called to be co-workers in the work of creation, not merely passive consumers of content generated by artificial technology. Our dignity lies in our ability to reflect, choose freely, love unconditionally, and enter into authentic relationships with others. Recognizing and safeguarding what characterizes the human person and guarantees their balanced growth is essential for establishing an adequate framework to manage the consequences of artificial intelligence.

When told about her findings, 3M supervisors repeatedly questioned her work: https://t.co/WtsLDZnrg7

@starkwatzinger Danke für Ihren Rücktritt. Das Ministerium unter Ihrer Leitung war eine Schande für den Wissenschaftsstandort Deutschland.

Good morning.

Medical debt is an unacceptable burden. No one should have it hanging over their head.

How I'd Fix Atlanta has partnered with @unduemeddebt to wipe out debt in ATL and beyond.

Please give what you can. Please tell everyone you know.
