What’s Peter Thiel gonna say about the anti-christ being AI now?
The billionaire tech oligarch who’s building a centralized global surveillance database powered by AI and who murdered his gay lover somehow knows better than the Catholic Pope who the real anti-christ is, right? Eh…
Where are all those fundies who freaked about about the Matrix and said The Architect was actually Lucifer?
You don’t want people to start believing in hallucinated, made-up shit now, would you? /s
It wasn’t written for them.
Wow no shit? Who’d have thought.
And why would they care anyway? Why does anyone?
“Pope says” is pretty much irrelevant, even to a lot of christians, not to mention everyone else.
The pope does not have the power the Pope used to have in the Medieval era. Back then he was a king of kings, he could make and break countries, and organize invasions like the Normans into Sicily and elsewhere.
Nowadays though the Pope is just sort of figure head.
The American Catholic establishment is hardcore right-wing generally They hated the last pope and this one, and the Pope is not going to regulate on them very much.
The pope should regulate though. He should resurrect the muscular Pappacy And raze and burn this cynical catholic establishment openly betraying the vision of Jesus Christ in America.
I think the biggest difference is that people had the mental capacity of a drunk toddler back then but now we probably average around a drunk teenager level.
He could start by excommunicating prominent far-right Catholic figureheads like Matt Walsh and JD Vance (I think???).
Even to many many Catholics, especially US based Catholics.
I never thought we would hear religion be the voice of reason. Time STEM to to become SEM
Engineering is a bit iffy too. Better make it S & M
Science is applied mathematics. Better make it just the big M
Pope’s just repeat whatever’s morally trending on Reddit at the time.
Which is funny considering it’s supposed to be the direct word of God channeled through a man.
That is true, I am actually a direct representative of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, anointed by the pasta to fulfill this Flying Spaghetti monsters mission on Earth hallelujah.
Lots of religions have one of those.
Tech titans entirely silent after countless of other individuals have warned about risks of AI, long before the pope.
Yeah, maybe the pope is far more qualified in relevant fields than anyone who’s spoken prior. Unlikely, but probable I guess.
They will propose a new schism in the catolic church to create a christianity that worships AI.
Ever since the pope got ignored at the Peace of Westphalia over 400 years ago, the position has lost quite a bit of its power, especially political power. Most Catholics don’t listen to the pope, why would everyone else listen to him?
As the leader of what I view as the most prolific cult on planet earth, I’ve got to give him this one. I cannot wait for the bubble to crash, burn, and take these companies down with it.
Good for them, otherwise we are going to make them shutup.
He’s a religious leader, what does he have to do with the tech industry?
He’s the leader of a worldwide organization thar millions of people look up to for moral guidance. Calling this stuff out is absolutely within his purview, and he’s using his influence and reach for the right reasons.
I find it strange to trash arguably the most progressive pope in the history of the catholic church just because he’s the catholic pope.
It’s almost like you want those millions of people to forfeit their critical thinking to the tech oligarchs and far-right political propaganda…
Okay, he’s a leader of a large religion.
That still doesn’t give him any special knowledge or authority regarding AI.
Exactly, he should be focusing on crime.
Specifically sex abuse within the church.
The Pope is the antichrist and the tech bros are busy ushering in the next era of humanity.
