BREAKING: Trump suggests Iran should go ahead and bomb US cities, saying "With the war, it's just artificial. It's a small price to pay... They can take out a city. Let 'em take out Los Angeles, let 'em take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay."
NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIVโs AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious.
Olahโs team then privately lobbied the popeโs advisers โto take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.โ 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
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.
