Once again Pope Leo XIV has rejected idea of Anthropic that Claude has a soul. He went one step ahead and called to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

For those who don't know Anthropic did privately lobby Vatican advisers to take the idea of AI consciousness (Soul) seriously, but Pope Leo XIV completely rejected the idea, firmly stating that AI does not possess a soul, feelings, or a moral conscience https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/10/02/anthropic-lobbied-pope-to-argue-ai-conscious-being/

AI β€˜godfather’ Yann LeCun has β€˜zero concerns’ about human extinction and thinks Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is β€˜deluded’ and β€˜crazy’. Yann LeCun dismisses fears of AI extinction and recent hacks at OpenAI and Anthropic, arguing that security breaches comes from poor system design, leaky sandboxes, and a lack of basic cybersecurity in AI labs, not out-of-control AI. These AI are doing as told by these AI labs

Most data centers refusing to say how much water, electricity they use https://nltimes.nl/2026/09/30/data-centers-refusing-say-much-water-electricity-use

The vast majority of data centers in Europe keep information about their environmental impact secret, according to a study by Lighthouse Report in collaboration with Trouw and other European media. In the Netherlands, less than a quarter of larger data centers publish data about their electricity and drinking water usage.

Of course, you hide info when there is some stuff going on? lol.

Or is it because the regulators are just begging for any reason they can offer? I know I wouldnt volunteer info in this environment... How much of the water is recirculated? It doesn't make sense for them to just toss it into the drain - its primarily used for heat dissipation. I've never seen a re...

macOS Golden Gate Is a Buggy Mess

https://www.squareorbits.com/blog/2026/09/macos-golden-gate-is-a-buggy-mess/

Software quality control has been declining for many years and now, with the rise of LLMs, nobody actually reads code anymore. If it passes automated tests, it gets shipped. Developers receive hundreds of PRs per day generated by LLMs. How can anyone review all of them? Rubber stamp it. Everyone is simply trusting what these "black box machines" say and shipping the code. Even FLOSS is not free from this mess now.

Newly unsealed court documents from Authors Guild v. OpenAI reveal that both OpenAI and Microsoft executives knowingly trained their AI models on pirated books (including all sorts of art theft) while privately admitting that the technology threatens writers' livelihoods. Yet, OpenAI & Microsoft went ahead and released their shity AI on stolen work despite knowing it was illegal. https://authorsguild.org/news/ag-v-openai-top-execs-knew-mass-book-piracy-was-illegal/

Stealing from small guys & pocketing billions per year is how they get filthy rich.

U.S. agencies say top Chinese AI companies systematically copied American models https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/us-accuses-china-ai-developers-deepseek-alibaba-copying-american-ai-rcna596696

And American models copied the whole world's data illegally to train their shitty models. If you want to enforce the law, start with your own American companies who stole every book, form of art and everything else out there. You don't get to cry when you are no better than the other party. The entitlement of AI companies in American is on another level & acting like holier than thou.
