Episode description as stored

Pope Leo XIV just released his first encyclical and picked a side in the AI war. AND He brought Chris Olah, the co-founder of Anthropic, on stage to launch it. On this special solo episode of AI For Humans, Gavin breaks down the Magnifica Humanitas, Pope Leo's first encyclical, what it actually says about AI, why Anthropic was invited to stand next to the Pope at the launch (does he love Claude Code??), and what the next 5-10 years look like when 1.3 billion Catholics, every other major religion, and every labor union on Earth gets handed a moral framework for the AI debate. Plus: why this Pope picked the name Leo, what 1891's Rerum Novarum has to do with 2026, and the prediction that ethical AI might soon be defined by clergy instead of engineers.
