Like, i also have no respect for the Catholic church but this is just funny

Shut the fuck up, how many local models do you run Mr. Pope!?‽ could be a tagline

no one elected you

Bigger men with literal armies have contested this over the centuries. Try crossing the alps with ten thousand men before trying to tell the pope what to do.

You're not an Ai influencer, no one elected you

I guess I missed the election where we made Sam Altman and Dario Amodei the presidents of AI.

Apparently AI execs have been literally lobbying the pope’s advisors to make them consider that AIs might be conscious.

For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

You're not an Ai influencer

that's too fucking funny. plus isn't the pope one of the OG "influencers" in general? Probably.

critical support for the pope pissing off AI techbros.

Techbro AI pedophile of today argues online with head priest of world's oldest pedophile cult

being elected by a court of pedophiles is not a healthy basis for democratic legitimacy, not to give a negatively-hinged AI bro a grain of credit

Oh yeah, you hate AI? How many local models do you run?

Was hoping this would be a post where I get to dunk on the pope. Instead I'm giving him critical support against the tech bro enemies of life. Wtf

Genuinely baffling being a communist and seeing the fucking Pope on my side, 2026 is a wild year

-Martin Luther

it amuses me to think there's something out there with the belief that it's more influential with its little tweet than the pope. this is all the script of a classic early to mid '10s social media flame war vying for subs retweets and virulence, and sure it's exactly the right place for that but he's the pope the revered head of a 2000 year old blood soaked juggernaut of a thing that is the catholic church. who does this twit think is going to be turned around from that by a pissant's "trvth nvke"?

Pope's woke. Woke pope.

While I disagree with the Pope's argument, it is hilarious that one of the shut up lines here is saying his stance doesn't matter because he isn't an "influencer".

Weakest community note

1v1 me, Pope! Final Destination, no items! Heh, too scared to even respond

"social media" has made the world a worse place. why should anyone with a screen be able to make a "reply" to a "post" by someone else, who they have no relation to? why is there one forum and why are replies open? how come someone can post about what they had for breakfast, and someone unrelated and unconnected can stumble upon that post and make a comment about seed oils or how the bread looks gross? why can some basic bro reply to a post made by the president of the catholic religion, and why do we have to see it?

actually, i would prefer it if the boss of the hat-focused christian-adjacent religion didn't have an opinion on "AI" at all, and didn't even know what it was. it cheapens his image. but that's a different topic.

the current pope occasionally reads like a poster on here, unfortunately he is kinda inextricable from the evil and corrupt people and organization that is his church, not to mention the many subjects on which their views are bad and wrong.
