This is insane.

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.

The Legolas and gimli “never thought I’d die fighting side by side with an elf” scene from the two towers except the quote has been altered to read “never thought I’d die fighting side by side with Catholics/what about side by side with a Pope Against AI!/Aye, I could do that”

Forgot to say it on here at the top of the hour, but for this #StetSprint I'm talking through a manuscript evaluation on the phone with my editorial assistant! We're talking through what worked and didn't work in the story, and as we talk, I'm drafting my editorial letter for the author.

Just finished the audiobook of Gisèle Pelicot's A Hymn to Life. Incredible. The book is hard to listen to for obvious reasons but also very easy to listen to due to Emma Thompson's brilliant narration. Highly recommend reading this on audio! #shamehastochangesides #booksky #GisèlePelicot

Yeah, it's wild to see people shrug it off and say stuff like "it's just translation" to my face when discussing authors and publishers using AI to translate books. As though it's a mechanical process and not layered, creative, and nuanced work.

It's the classic "What I do is creative, skilled and interesting; what you do is easy and formulaic and nowhere near as worthwhile," applied to the question of AI.

AI has really revealed what types of art people consider to be "creative" enough to justify human authorship, and it's very telling 🫥

Yes there is! I think the sequel may be out now. I picked up Never Whistle at Night because it was the #1 bestseller at my favorite indie bookstore in STL! It was a fun read.

I don't touch AI. At all. And I've been vocal about that. One thing that I've tried not to do is to warn people against using certain words or punctuation (e.g. don't use an ellipsis) because it may make their writing look like it was produced by AI. 1/2

Paternity leave reduces postpartum depression in new moms, improves infant health and helps breastfeeding last longer. Meanwhile, most U.S. fathers can't afford to take it.

Generous paternal leave policies improve maternal and newborn health, family finances and workplace equality

Leave for the non-birthing parent after a new baby arrives gives the family an opportunity to bond.
