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.

It remains insane to me that we're watching the PSNI and Parades Commission entertain the prospect of sending riot police in because they refuse to admit they fucked up

Afraid I profoundly disagree with this paper, the theory of performance management when turned into reality becomes one of the most divisive morale-ruining events in the calendar, an opportunity to let bullying run amok particularly with the fallacies of distribution curves.

“The famine is over! The curse be damned!! Hit the nuclear button! Mayo have won the All-Ireland!!” An all-time great sports commentary moment from Stephen Grealis and Martin McHugh on Mayo’s Midwest Radio. #gaa

Went to Wild Ireland to see the Wolves today. They were amazing, I could have sat and watched the for hours. Started to read about the history of wolves in Ireland. Turns out Cromwell’s regime was largely responsible for wiping them out. That figures.

For the fully devout, tonight represents the waning, this is the last night where we get two games. It’s the controlled decline from here on in.

Me: I can’t wait to see a replay of that goal. US TV Producer: Can I interest you in eight different crowd reaction shots? Me: Just the replay would be fine. US TV Producer: What about a pensioner with a Messi sign? Me: Just all the angles of the goal please. US TV Producer: Here’s Peyton Manning.

Bumped into a music legend on my commute back from London tonight. Every bit as sound and cool as you’d hope him to be. #TheModfather.

The thing is that this is so blatantly racist and such an affront to sporting merit of a referee who climbed the ladder under incredibly hard circumstances that any and every decent sports fan gets it and is angered by it. It’s just gut-level wrong and that cuts through.

Horrible, terrible, very sorry for this young man and his family, and fuck the racists, but also why is the IRFU posting on X? What kind of reaction did they think they'd get from a post about a black player on the Nazi app?!
