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.

Text from a friend. HEADS UP TEXAS. CHECK YOUR VOTER REGISTRATION ASAP. This is a family with a Latino last name.
Texts from my friend: I wanted to share with you a message from Texas I thought would be a good fact or call to action for your audience.
I wanted to share something that happened to my 76-year-old mom in Texas yesterday because I immediately thought of you and the reach of your mic.
My mom, Margaret, has been a voter since she was 18 and has always voted. She went to a voter-registration event in Bexar County and, when they suggested she check her registration, her record couldn’t be found. She immediately filled out a new registration application.
Then she checked her husbands, and his record couldn’t be found either.
Regardless of why any individual registration has an issue, this feels like an important public-service message: Texans should check their voter registration now, while there’s still time to fix a problem, not discover it when they go to vote.
