Pope Leo's 42,000-word encyclical urges governments to slow AI development, regulate tech companies, and keep humans responsible for weapons systems. Released last week. The US response: Fannie Mae chairman runs intelligence. AI czar holds undivested AI investments. Two million federal workers face proposed NDAs.
The Pope is governing AI more seriously than the people who actually govern it.
Now we know why Peter Thiel packed his bags for Argentina.
Milei just submitted his AI legislative framework to Congress, where he proposes:
- zero regulation on AI development,
- a brand-new "non-human corporation" category for AI/robot-operated entities with limited liability
-a low-tax regime with flexible governance rules.
The Dutch East India Company gave the world the limited liability company in 1602. Milei wants Argentina to do the same for autonomous AI agents in 2026.

❗️Google employees are flooding an internal meme board with posts about how bad the company's AI is.
A source says dozens of anti-AI memes post weekly, spiking when models update or their internal coding tool Jetski breaks. One showed Jetski admitting it fabricated report metrics with over 400 upvotes.
Engineers say AI removed the code-gen bottleneck but jammed everything else: testing, build times, and human review now drowning in code nobody wrote.
CEO Pichai says 75% of new code is AI-generated, btw.

Phishing and social engineering are getting more sophisticated at an exponential rate due to AI.
Proton just let a phishing email go through to my inbox that I think will compromise tens of thousands of folks.
How it seems to work: someone added my email to a real Google Group. They then sent out a message to all members of the group with subject line "Your Google data has been exported."
Obviously this will cause many people to panic. The email went through to my inbox because it came from a legit google group from a legit Google URL.
All links in the email look totally normal – unless you look at the link for "Cancel request" button. But amazingly this one also seems to come from a genuine Google URL – a URL shortener from Google! goo[dot]gl/XXXXX (not putting the real URL here).
Then it takes you to (1) a Recaptcha screen and then (2) a genuine looking Google account login screen. It's hosted on a Google site (sites[dot]google[dot]com) so everything looks legit.
Because all links are technically hosted by Google, this is very very bad.
Nightmare fuel.
Javier Milei is creating “non-human corporations” — self-sustaining companies run by AI bots.
Milei argues that limited liability is necessary for AI to reach its full potential. In other words, the working class must suffer so the capitalist class can profit.
To make sure British citizens realise what's going on, Palantir can now:
• Build and run the National Firearms Registry, tracking the addresses and medical files of 500,000 gun and explosives holders across all 43 police forces.
• Map your digital footprint by trialling police systems (like Project Nectar) that pull your texts, call logs, emails, and social media data into a single profile.
• Track your physical movements by linking live number plate trackers, CCTV locations, and mobile phone tower pings.
• Process unverified intelligence by feeding anonymous tips and police notes about who you meet into automated linking models.
• Profile police officers using data-matching tools that actively scrape the device logs, vehicle uses, and system logins of a force's own employees.
• Access direct NHS data through a £330 million contract, using admin privileges that let engineers view patient environments before the files are scrambled (pseudonymised).
This is the same Palantir used to coordinate the largest simultaneous terrorist attack in history by the IOF in Lebanon.
This is the same Palantir used by the IOF since 2014 and actively being used in Gaza.
Is the UK on the verge of banning VPNs?
On May 26, the consultation intended to help the British government make decisions on age verification for websites, digital services, and social media platforms came to an end. Some form of restrictions regarding at least age limits for social media already appear inevitable; government officials have confirmed as much. The only question is what kind of restrictions will be imposed.
For example, the age verification restrictions could end up including VPN services. National restrictions for websites and social media can be bypassed using tools such as VPNs, virtual phone numbers, eSIM cards, Tor and dedicated services. It is therefore unsurprising that politicians have begun looking toward VPN services, which are the most common and accessible method of changing one’s geographic location.
In early 2026, the House of Lords sent an amendment(regarding the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill) to the House of Commons, proposing an 18-year age limit for using VPN services. The House of Commons rejected the House of Lords amendment four separate times. However, the House of Commons instead introduced its own proposal, which was passed and has now become law. This agreement grants the government the power to introduce restrictions through secondary legislation, with only limited parliamentary scrutiny.
Unfortunately, the risk that the UK government will crack down on VPN services is real – effectively joining countries such as China and Russia in opposing VPN services. Officials have already hinted that they may consider introducing age restrictions for VPN usage under the slogan “No platform gets a free pass”.
If VPN services were to implement identity verification, this would mean collecting data that could be abused through either malice or incompetence. It would, for example, make such services risky for whistleblowers and activists, make it harder for journalists to work with sensitive information, and create a chilling effect on online debate (VPNs can help people post anonymously on social media). In a society like the UK, where 30 people are arrested every day for writing something online that authorities classify as “grossly offensive”, VPN services are an important tool for free speech.
If VPN providers were to impose an age limit on their service, this would also mean that underage users would effectively lose their right to online privacy. Ironically, one consequence would be that social media companies mapping people’s lives through third-party trackers on websites could continue monitoring young people’s online behavior via their IP addresses without any interference. In other words, politicians would remove one of the protections children have against the very companies they claim to want to protect children from.

I'm going to vague post because I have a sneaking suspicion that certain info pieces connected to certain people & companies get smothered in the algorithm.
TLDR two big well known AI companies got caught & admitted to funding fake violent Anti AI & Antagonistic pro AI accounts.
AI companies are also wildly subsidizing tools to unis so they get more training data and secure an addicted market. Whats the best way to ensure future of AI? Make sure those coming into adulthood cant live without it and therefore will pay for it.
