Hey, I’m just asking questions. Ignorant questions, bigoted questions, questions that have been repeatedly answered for many years. Sorry, but I’m not listening to answers right now; I’m far too busy asking questions. It’s called being intellectually curious.

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.

NYT asked a bunch of ten year olds what life will be like in 2050.

Riley Grunch
GAINESVILLE, GA.
What is life going to be like in 2050?
There's bound to be a war. The war against Iran right now is bound to spark a couple more wars. I really hope it doesn't start World War III.
What else will be different in 2050?
There's one more thing I'm thinking about: If there's going to be more rich people or more poor people. I think I already got the answer to that: more poor people.
Why?
Stuff is going to cost more. The world is becoming more like survival of the fittest.
8:15 AM • 9/13/26Amani Green
DENVER
What's life going to be like in 2050?
Companies will start using A.I. instead of human workers. That's probably going to cause a pretty big job shortage.
What kinds of jobs will A.l. take?
People are already starting to hire an A.I. actress for movies. So people are going to be like,
"That's making so much money, I should do that!" That'll make a lot of actors pretty mad.
What will happen to people who lose jobs to A.I.?
Lots of anger. Probably protests. Just lots of outrage.
What will other technology be like?
Higher-class citizens will start owning robot butlers. But I feel like with the rise of robot butlers, humans will lose basic everyday skills.

Elizabeth Foster
RUTHERFORD, N.J.
What is life going to be like in 2050?
I think there will be artificial baby labs. You can choose what hair color they have, what eye color they have, and if they're smart. You can choose the gender, too.
What will technology be like?
I don't think people will interact with each other as much. Kids won't know what it's like to live without screens. I mean, I don't, either, but still.

A trans man in the UK has been banned in the workplace restrooms after he was forced to use the women's restrooms to comply with the new EHRC guidance. The women complained because he is visibly male and so they told him he can't use any bathroom.
A screenshot of a Reddit post from the r/LegalAdviceUK subreddit by user Dijstraanon, titled "FtM transgender facing two different issues at work? England."
The post text reads:
"Brother in law is trans FtM and presents fully as a man. He's now facing an impossible situation at work with his employer telling him that due to recent legislation he must use the toilet of his birth gender. BUT several female colleagues have raised a grievance about him using their gendered toilet.
His employer has told him that he cannot use the toilet while he is at work until they sort it out and cannot give him a timeframe to do so. They do [cut off] have disabled separate toilets.
In the mean time one of his female colleagues has accused him of sexual harassment because he was used their gendered toilet. His menstrual cycle meant he needed to use the toilet.
He's been with the employer for just over 5 years but only in this location for 18 months. The location is mainly male with just a handful of females, and his workshop only has male toilets.
I do not know how to support him and as he's not in a union there is no one to turn too right now."
