Catholic Church: How do you want to measure "local models", Spectro? This is how we do it: Members of the Catholic Church: 1.43 billion Churches: 220,000 parishes, 130,000 missions Clergy: 500,00+ You want us to go on, Spectro? No? We understand, we've outlasted more fools than we can count.

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.

On the Epstein files. 1. He was a blackmailer, and got paid in the form of money to manage. 2. Blackmailers keep meticulous records. 3. If someone shows up in the files and ALSO as a big investor with Epstein's firm, I think you can be sure he had them cold on something really nasty.

Why must my hometown team be so willfully stupid? Holding Burrow to 20pts is pretty good, if you'd scored point and kept the offense on the field, it'd probably be lower. But no, only throw a pass when there's absolutely no other choice.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...
The imposing Callanish Stones stand talk with their shadows spanning out across the glass.  It's a super clear sky, but looks cold. Above the central stone is a strange figure-of-8 shape of dots.  This is the location of the Sun, at noon, on various different days across the year.

It’s very simple. A reality TV host became dictator because he turned down a role for Sharknado 4 and that’s why the king of outer space, who cheats at Diablo, got to kill Africa. Now the economy is controlled by a sex cult that has something to do with Harry Potter fanfic because of robots.

The key thing to remember is - people in corporations are generally cowards, and despite everyone's fear of these entities, pretty much no one wants to die or go to prison for them. And the state can make that happen.
