Dean Ball, Doug Burgum, David Sacks, and Raymond Arroyo all came for Magnifica Humanitas this week. JD Vance praised it. The men who actually own AI said nothing. A field report from a busy week on television.
Classic example of "There's no such thing as bad PR." The more high visibility push-back, the better: it keeps the conversation going with more people reached, badly needed in a country where way too few non-religious talk openly about morality and ethics...certainly words apparently unknown in DC. There's a reason the encyclical resonated so strongly and well with Gen Z. Leo can and will hold his own. Onward.
Ball, Arroyo, Burgum, and Sacks — do not see that AI poses a profound danger to human dignity because they intend to implement that power and they have no desire to give it up.
The funniest part is watching the AI priesthood suddenly discover “government overreach” the moment someone suggests the people building digital gods in private boardrooms might need adult supervision. They want intelligence metered like water, human dignity treated like a legacy feature, and the rest of us to bow politely while they upload Babel to the cloud. Pope Leo naming that as idolatry is exactly why they’re quiet. Hard to clap back when the Vatican looks at your business model and says, “Nice golden calf, nerds.”
No honest person can believe what that fool is selling. I’m not going to be humbled by a machine. These AI freaks have misjudged humanity. Have they met us?
I stand with Pope Leo
