“We see it a lot with Latino and Chinese communities, where a lot of the best legal information is actually very poorly translated,” Massaro, 17, a senior at Avenues New York in Manhattan, told Documented. “A lot of times, translations are literal. That’s not how we talk in conversation.”

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 Al 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.
