Mark Zuckerberg gets it right:

“The defining question of our age isn’t whether superintelligence will exist, but who will have access to it. Will it be centralized and restricted to a few institutions, or will it be a tool that empowers everyone?”

Concentration of power is the biggest risk of AI. When a small number of labs (working hand-in-glove with the administrative state) decide who has access to which model capabilities, they inevitably shape what can be said, known, and built. That’s not “safety.” It’s control.

As Mark points out, the history of open source shows that broad access and transparency are usually the best path to actual security and resilience. Decentralization creates checks and balances on power. By contrast, centralized alternatives, like bureaucratic approval regimes and mandatory gatekeeping, typically produce regulatory capture and reinforce cartels.

Personal superintelligence in everyone’s hands, with competing models and real data sovereignty, is a far better check on a dystopian future than self-appointed guardians who claim to be “aligned” with all of humanity.

The Buddha once said that hatred was like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die. Let go of your resentments. Life is too short.

I just experienced a beautiful moment here in Beirut, Lebanon. I was sitting in a coffee shop in the city, watching live coverage of the Pope’s arrival on my laptop. Across the room, I noticed two young men huddled over a phone. Curious, I walked over and realised they were also watching the live images of Pope Leo XIV landing in their country. To my surprise, they told me they were both Muslims, and then warmly invited me to sit with them so we could watch it together. When I asked what they hoped the Pope’s visit would bring to Lebanon, they answered simply, "peace". 🇱🇧 🇻🇦

Solving a problem you really care about makes the project an act of love, as opposed to an act of self-aggrandizement.

[Aviral Bhatnagar @aviralbhat]

Do not start a company if you're primarily driven by:

- Making money
- Getting famous
- Doing better than others
- Calling yourself CEO/founder

Only do it if you're crazy enough to do whatever it takes to solve a problem you deeply care about

The new Pastor at my home church where I did RCIA has not only implemented daily confession times, but also added in confession during and along with the monthly hour long behold adoration.

It seems there's a growing emphasis on confession at a lot of places and it is a promising thing to see.

"The Church has been - I'm not religious, and I'm not a Catholic, and I'm not a Christian - but it's been one of the great promoters of art for many hundreds and hundreds of years.”

American playwright, screenwriter and film director Kenneth Lonergan praised Pope Leo’s interest in bringing cinema into the Church's tradition of art. He argued a world without art, film, paintings, music “would be a pretty sorry world”.

[Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron]

Appreciate it, Ro. I really enjoyed our conversation. Looking forward to seeing you again.

@NathanielJolly If you’re going to attack the Catholic Church, at least cite the Catechism or official magisterial documents

@NathanielJolly “Take note of those who hold heterodox opinions…. They abstain from the Eucharist… because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ… They… are perishing in their disputes”

@NathanielJolly Sola Scriptura is a man-made doctrine. Protestantism is a false religion.

“The world needs a liberal Pope!” “The world needs a conservative Pope!” “The world needs a strategic Pope!” “The world needs a …”

The world needs a saint.

@neiltyson Deportation was condemned by Pope John Paul II

“whatever is offensive to human dignity, such as subhuman living conditions, arbitrary imprisonment, deportation, slavery… all these and the like are a disgrace”

“What is God’s love? It is not something vague, some generic feeling. God’s love has a name and a face: Jesus Christ, Jesus. Love for God is made manifest in Jesus." - Angelus, August 11, 2013

Rest in peace 🙏
