SchadenFriday: Is the Pope Girlbossing AI?
About this episode
The episode discusses the Pope's recent encyclical and its implications on AI.
It’s a bit of an overstatement to say “the Pope came out as anti-A.I.” with last week’s encyclical—after all, Anthropic’s cofounder was there for the release. So what did the Chicago Pope actually say, what was he doing with his encyclical, and what’s an encyclical anyway? Guest: Lizzie O’Leary, host of What Next TBD This episode is member-exclusive.
