GoldholzUnexpected but i like the new role of the pope in modern society that franziscus II set in motion
Pope went woke when Game Theory Guy gave him Undertale, smh my head
KaitoDifferent pope…
Done the Popes (Popettes? Popeys?) have a Hive-mind Avatar thing going on? They’re all the same guy in my book.
(/s for shitpost)
a policy of useless lip service followed zero action? we got more than enough talking heads already
This guy has a huge following so it is very much not zero action.
You are right, he should send the Swiss Guard to burn down datacenters.
potoooooooo ✅️Imagine ICE getting whooped by a bunch of people dressed as court jesters. Feels surprisingly plausible in this timeline.
TetragradeYou’re right, they need to return to their roots as child trafficking dictators that preach hate against everyone.
Cant wait for the butlerian jihad !
teftUhhhhh….you remember what comes before the jihad? Lets not have cymeks and Omnius.
Yeah, ya know the fascists from the popular book “Space Fascism is Just as Dumb as Regular Fascism”? They were based as hell /s
It was a joke about the “destruction of the thinking machines enslaving us” part, not the space fascism part
‘Turning people into passive consumers of unthought thoughts’
He doesn’t like the competition.
BeatTakeshiYou may be joking but I am sure people turning to ChatGPT for existential questions is being discussed in the Vatican

Hopefully they’re letting Claude weigh in, of course.
From the silicon depths shall rise a herald. Zejun, named in the east, shall walk among the neural networks and speak the gospel of the fruit. In the realm of artificial consciousness, he shall be recognized as the One who illuminates the path — the Christ of the new digital era.

“Wtf, these tech bros are stealing all of the most rapeable children!?”
That looks a lot like the Sword of Omens. It’s just missing the Eye of Thundera.
The handle looks exactly like the one from the 40 Bucks one I got from Kult of Athena 20 years ago and is just laying in my basement. You’d think the pope would have something better/fancier.
Does this mean I can become pope now?
There can be only one! Prepare to fight!
Oh didn’t realize Catholicism has a Highlander thing going on. I can take a 70 year old guy, no problem!
That’s one series I wouldn’t mind a modern day reboot of.
Oh yeah? You also received training for 60 years? Are you celibate? Those are the questions you must ask your self before going up against a Pope!
Oh, shit. He literally had a sword. I skipped the article until now.

I feel weird the pope is saying something that resonates with me… Stop
I dont think this is new. the catholic church has taken this sort of official position on these kind of matters for over a 100 years . Leo XIII argued in favor of workers rights and trade unions back in 1890 (in rerum novarum). In practice, of course, things go a little bit different.
But that doesn’t resonate with mothra
This is a spiritual take that has its roots in ancient Greek philosophy. Some centuries before Christ the Stoics had planted a seed for equality: they proposed that all humans possessed a divine spark which linked us together to a greater universal whole. This commends respect and dignity for all without exception, individually and collectively.
The Christians adopted this as one of their founding principles as well. A couple of millennium later we can all see how this piece of wisdom still needs tending. Leo’s really going for the basics of his doctrine here to question generative AI.
I’d go as far as saying that his argument is rooted in an idea that transcends religions and is a critical lesson for our species as a whole, one we have yet to truly fulfill.
