Christopher Hale

It was raining.

In New York, it was raining and cold.

So my religious claim is that God opened the heavens.

the poor weathers to allow the Pope's document to be received.

But yes, it took off.

And I think what that was really the hope of Pope Leo XIV.

He really wrote this letter, and this is different from how these encyclicals normally work.

We can talk a little bit about that.

Normally, these are very pie-in-the-sky.

This one certainly had pie-in-the-sky elements of it.

But this was really meant for y'all, for Silicon Valley.

He wrote this with builders in mind.

Obviously, Christopher Olah being there was representative of that.

But he wanted this to take off in Silicon Valley.

And yesterday morning, Jack Dorsey tweeted out the entire encyclopedia.

So I think mission accomplished.

I think he has woken up a lot of folks, both detractors and supporters in Silicon Valley.

And I think this document's resonating and making a lot of noise.

So that was the goal for sure.

I think Pope Leo XIV understands that AI is inevitable.
