Magnifica Humanitas: The Catholic Response to Artificial Intelligence

Is the Pope at war with AI? Not quite. When Magnifica Humanitas dropped, Catholic Twitter exploded — and tech Twitter fired back. In this episode, Vick cuts through the noise: this isn't an AI document, it's a Catholic social teaching document with AI as the catalyst. Drawing a direct line from Pope Leo XIII's Rerum Novarum and the Industrial Revolution to Pope Leo XIV's response to the AI revolution, we dig into the questions Silicon Valley isn't asking: What is intelligence? What is wisdom? What is human dignity? And will humans remain human? We cover the Tower of Babel vs. the City of God, why AI can display intelligence but never possess wisdom, the dignity of work, concentrated technological power — and what Catholics are actually called to do in response. Vick also gets personal, sharing his own wrestling with being asked to build an agent for the sole purpose of eliminating a team. Fine-tuning through faith.

Rogue Agent- When Operators Don't Handle their AI

AI safety and operator accountability are under the microscope. What happens when an Agent goes rogue? We just witnessed a first where an Agent's pull request to an open source project was rejected, and it wrote a hit piece on the maintainer of that project.
