I am truly disappointed that the Pope is doing more for tech regulation and AI than most of the non profit groups I have given time to. And making clear and direct call to action without the prevarication and AI hyper soothing bs that we see too often.

These animals are extremely clever. The film "My Octopus Teacher" is worth a watch as well - they really are very sweet and sadly don't live very long. We must never farm them - and please don't eat them.

I bought the game "Hnefatafl" (viking chess) from the Lofotr Viking Museum on Lofoten, Norway a few years ago The king sits in the middle of the board, guarded by white pawns. The objective is for the king to reach one of the 4 corners. The opposing player's objective is to capture the king.
