Always funny when I see people worth a couple of million dollars pile on billionaires.

When it’s time to eat the rich, they won’t spare you.

How do you get Claude Code to check its own work before handing it back?

Watch how you can encode your manual checks so Claude closes its own feedback loop:

Let the people create their AI then.

Who’s stopping you from funding the people ?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

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.

Tech has done more for humanity than any institution in history. Respect the lane but this one is not it.

Pope Leo XIV just dropped paper called “Magnifica Humanitas” about AI and I have some thoughts 🧵

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

My real issue is why are we asking religious leaders about tech in the first place. These are not the people building it or using it. Ask developers. Ask people like me that AI has elevated their output and don’t feel threatened by it at all.

— He feared the worst for workers. Industrialization literally created the middle class.
Every single fear was wrong.

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

And since we are bringing up Leo XIII, lets talk about what his fears actually produced:

— He feared machines would impoverish the masses. GDP per capita grew 12x.

— He feared it would degrade human life. Life expectancy doubled from 38 to 81.

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

AI is on that same path except even bigger. Leo XIII was wrong to be that scared then and that same thinking applied to AI now should be questioned.

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

On the jobs conversation we have been here before. When industrialization came people had the exact same panic. It ended up being the greatest economic shift in human history, pulled billions out of poverty and created opportunity nobody saw coming.

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

The guardrails are already being built. We don’t need to slow down progress because of fear.

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

Now I’m not saying its wrong to be cautious about AI. Powerful technology deserves scrutiny I agree. But we already have governments, regulators and laws designed to keep companies in check. Even the encyclical itself admits legal frameworks and oversight are needed.

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

Leo XIV looked at all that fear and said “that’s my guy” then used that same lens to talk about AI in 2026. That alone should tell you where this paper is coming from.

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

First thing people need to know is that he didn’t just casually reference Pope Leo XIII, he literally named himself after the guy. Leo XIII was deeply worried about industrialization in 1891, scared about machines and what it means for workers.

the only threesome I’m ever having

[Ayo Adekola @maxinjector]

~$6.45 billion in contract just this month alone, Colossus deal with Anthropic, and we haven’t spoken about the potential revenue from Cursor after the acquisition.

Just here watching everything fall in place.
