Do these four things as frequently as you can, and everything else will take care of itself… 1. Pray 2. Go to Mass 3. Receive the sacraments 4. Eucharistic Adoration

Whenever a billionaire makes an unsupported claim about tech increasing everyone’s income, ask them why they don’t start by increasing the income of their own employees as a good example…
Optimus will eliminate poverty and provide universal high income for all

The @nyjets have got to be the most embarrassing NFL offense in a while. They’re not even one-dimensional. Their best passing play is the QB scramble. 🤦🏼♂️

Sam Altman's recent interview totally reminds me of the Enron earnings call right before they collapsed on December 2, 2001.

Of all the ethically bankrupt politicians out there, and that’s basically all of them, Trump and cronies have a special place.
BESSENT: "The $2,000 dividend could come in lots of forms." "It could be just the tax decreases. It could be no tax on tips."

Hold. The. Line. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
As I predicted, CEOs are having to back away from rabidly racing to superintelligence. Altman acknowledged the risk (again). Suleyman denounced those who seek to replace humanity. This is PR backpedalling. They are still building it. This is still evil and dangerous.

Allow me to translate… “Our techno-corporate bullshit and lies are falling apart before all the checks cleared. We need better propaganda. What can we scare people with? China! Let’s do China!”
Brad Gerstner: “AI is becoming deeply unpopular in America” “Silicon Valley is losing the battle around AI.” “Doomers are now scaring people about jobs. They think all these job cuts that are going on in America are the result of AI.” “And number two, they're seeing their

St. Carlo Acutis, ora pro nobis!
If you are building something to help humanity you should know there is a shrine to Saint Carlo Acutis, the programmer saint, at Star of the Sea church in San Francisco. There is a prayer of intercession for your technological challenges. Have a blessed Sunday

This is exactly right. Your favorite Internet platform is not your local parish, no matter how much you like it. In fact, this is true most especially when you *don’t* like your actual parish.
In 2018, my girlfriend (now wife) and I boarded a Metro to go visit a bunch of strangers. We were in D.C. to go to the March For Life and some friends from Catholic Twitter invited us to their house for dinner with a bunch of other Catholic Twitter people. I was excited to

Tell me you are not a parent of, or responsible for, teenagers without telling me…
the moral panic about teenagers talking to chatbots is ridiculous

Another excellent observation by a Daniel…
This whole Andreessen thing is a good reminder that you shouldn’t confuse vice with competence. Just because the guy is rude & subversive does not mean that he has intelligent things to say

Machines have no concept of truth. They can’t have any concept of truth. Therefore, they cannot be “laser-focused” on it.
To paraphrase Voltaire, those who believe in absurdities can commit atrocities without ever thinking they’re doing anything wrong. What would happen if there were an omnipotent AI that was trained to believe absurdities? Grok is the only AI that is laser-focused on truth.

Absolutely.
a16z’s “New Media” is designed to manufacture consent for whatever idea will make them money. “American Dynamism” isn’t about what Americans want, it’s about whatever clears the fastest path to liquidity – gambling, genocide... anything that moves capital faster. their media

Killing a child for the pursuit of (checks notes) fame and fortune, is not nearly the flex that you think it is…
This is a must watch! Stevie Nicks speaks openly about the abortion that allowed her to continue her career at the height of Fleetwood Mac’s rise. She makes it plain: access to abortion made her life, her art, and her voice possible.

This. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
OpenAI has been testing out different lines of defense all day. They have decided to go with “but we aren’t asking anything specific to ourselves” when in fact perhaps 80% of any subsidies/tax credits/loan credits might go to them or their partners. If any of this goes through

Amen!
Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a

This man is a charlatan. One easy way to tell is when someone wants to “clarify a few things,” and then proceeded to ramble for hundreds of words without actually saying anything definitive or answering any of the rhetorical questions.
I would like to clarify a few things. First, the obvious one: we do not have or want government guarantees for OpenAI datacenters. We believe that governments should not pick winners or losers, and that taxpayers should not bail out companies that make bad business decisions or

I'm sorry to break the news, but AI companies don't care about you, your well-being, or your mental health. They also don't care about society, education, employment, or child safety. As long as it's profitable, they really don't care. They might also break the law if they
