So my religious claim is that God opened the heavens.
the poor weathers to allow the Pope's document to be received.

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

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.
