what did he mean by this?
hmm, I think I can sketch a definition of "agent" in the AI context based on MacIntyre's philosophy of action, personal identity, narrative, etc I think it could be pretty interesting and conceptually rich considering the poverty of the agent concept in the current discourse

Pope talks like Claude 3 Opus, we’re so back
Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life.

isn't it more interesting to actually think about what words mean instead of just posting shit like "fuck you nerds"

oh yeah Arch and NixOS are kind of protestant distributions compared to the great catholic institutions like Debian and Fedora
