If you don't believe the word "soul" has any real meaning -- that it just means intelligence with the verisimilitude of humanity -- I can see why you'd try to argue for AI personhood.

Note well, apparently Anthropic tried very hard to get the Vatican to alter the text of "Magnifica Humanitas" just prior to its release so that it would not deny AI personhood.

“I talked today to a Republican strategist who is close to the president but he’s very clear-eyed,” says @MarkHalperin, “and someone I know well who does doesn’t lie to me. And we went through the Senate map and he gave @Republicans nearly every contested race… Unless there’s a tsunami the size of Connecticut, I could make that case, one by one. In other words, I could I could see Republicans winning every one of those races. And I’m actually — based on the spending and what I’m hearing from @theDemocrats in some of these places —  a little more bullish on Republican chances in the Senate than I was last week.”

"They went from 'Death to America' to 'vote Democrat.'"

@kayleighmcenany reacts after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps released a message urging Americans to oppose President Trump and Republicans in the midterms. The U.S. government designates the IRGC as a foreign terrorist organization.

"But apparently those 'Death to America' chants were all one big misunderstanding," McEnany says. |@IngrahamAngle

How about we don’t let utilities pass on costs to consumers due to servicing hyperscalers so that the citizens have more resources to invest/save/spend as they see fit?

Everyone is performing tonight, but the Penguins just look so cohesive and like they have a tangible game plan. They're playing well within a system in game one of 84.

You can spot a well-coached team. This is a well-coached team.

The FULL and CRAZY story of a plane of 174 Israelis which was hijacked to be crashed, but passengers subdued the hijacker, then landed in Saudi Arabia, then Riyadh refused Israeli rescuers, then passengers refused a 2nd UAE plane, but eventually got home: https://t.co/HpWbyDvwgZ

[Elliot Kaufman @ElliotKaufman6]

Superb report.

"The Saudis are also probing how the United Arab Emirates allowed an Omani citizen to pilot an aircraft flying to Israel, given explicit agreements between the countries that this would not occur."

“Worst home opener loss in Philadelphia flyers history” HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Andrew Ross Sorkin gushes over Trump's new America. gov website on live TV while Joe Kernen sits there stunned.

Sorkin is not a Trump fan, and he lets that be known. But the moment he said the word "credit," Kernen nearly fell out of his chair.

SORKIN: “I want to be clear. I am actually not critical of the president in this instance at all, because I actually think it was great to bring everybody together.”

“For 29,000 websites, the ability to get a passport, the ability to get your medicare. I mean, the it was like being at a product. It was like being at an Apple product announcement. And when they went through what they did and the president was there in the morning and walked through what they were doing, and Marco Rubio was there, Scott Bessent was there, the whole cabinet was there. It was one of those moments where you actually thought the government was working for you, really? And Gebbia deserves an extraordinary amount of praise for it.”

KERNEN: “Do you feel great? Are you have the warmest fuzziest feeling right now listening.”

SORKIN: “And by the way, the president deserves credit for that."

KERNEN: "Oh my God!"

SORKIN: "Credit for putting you in that role. And Jeb and his team putting it all together.”

KERNEN: “So now I'm getting hot flashes. Wow. So this is just amazing.”

CONTEXT (What happened): Trump launched America. gov, a single government site meant to replace 29,000 federal websites for things like passports and Medicare. It was built by Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia, and Sorkin was in the room for the demo.

Sorkin also credited the Trump accounts interface as "really easy to use" and "like using a real app."
