NEW: According to a bombshell report in the New York Times, Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah threatened to walk out of Pope Leo XIV’s AI encyclical launch in May because the pope rejected the idea that machines can be conscious. Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.” 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.
I would give almost anything to have been in the room to watch the guy whose job it was to convince a Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas graduate that his boss has successfully matched God and created a soul.
“Grazie for the dinner Msr. Olah. We shall carry your words to his Holiness.” (writes HERETIC in all caps on Vatican stationary, seals it in an ivory white envelope, hands it off to the nearest assistant)

I’m glad they’re taking this stance, but idk how I feel about alliance between them and artists, i guess it worked out ok during the renaissance?
The pope is going to start commissioning furry artists for portraits of various saintsnotices ur sfumato OwO
He should commission a copy of The Last Supper but it’s the apostles’ fursonas
If they did that during the actual renaissance the various commissioned painters would be falling over themselves trying to paint Judas as a snake
modern artists don’t share your vision
Possum Jesus is an incredible bit actually
Possum Jesus played dead for your sins
I started imagining centuries of Christians painting arms on Snake Judas to depict him accepting the 40 silver and then Leonardo DaVinci paints Judas holding the bag with his snake tail and the scandal/eureka moment schisms the church
Take note of “Jesus’” feet in these paintings. In the original, they are not present, as a door was installed in that location centuries after the work was completed. As such, any reproduction will have to either include a blank space for the door, as shown in the second image, or reconstruct his feet from the authors vision, as was done in the first image.
Jesus was a foot guy, I know what Jesus would do…

St. Thomas Aquilas (my eagle fursona)
More and more convinced that Pope Leo is a bluesky lib
but idk how I feel about alliance between them and artists
At this point, being a successful artist requires figuring out which group of powerful pedos you sell your soul to.

Actually though. Some things never change.
Maybe the real reason LLMs hallucinate and fail in unexpected ways is because this is a Tower of Babel situation and God is scrambling their algorithms to punish them for their hubris.
We need a Pope that sends the inquisition after AI Nerds .
Breaking: Pope launches Crusade against AI data centers, Teutonic knights on the match
1.4 billion Catholic levies waiting to be raised (Stalin when he sees how many divisons the pope actually has
)
what this means in the long run is that capital will start to favor flavors of (heretical) christianity that accept AI shit
capital will start to favor flavors of (heretical) christianity
Isn’t that basically prosperity theology?
Evangelicals will probably be the first to bite
“will be”?
Martin Olahther: “@Grok please write 95 theses for me to post at the catholic church”
Olah’s team then privately lobbied the pope’s advisers “to take the possibility of model consciousness seriously.”
the end goal being the return of Jesus as a skynet-style collection of surveillance networks and death robots headquartered in Israel
I swear theres been so maybe stories where groups start to accept a computer as a diety, you’d think we would learn our lesson
I never thought I’d see the day I gave critical support to the Catholic Church, but…
In Biblical Hebrew, ‘Olah (עולה) is a completely consumed sacrificial offering.
