Bishop Robert Barron @BishopBarron - I’ve just received the very sad news that John Allen has died. For more than thirty years, John has been the dean of Catholic journalists in the English-speaking world. There was no more intelligent, fair-minded, balanced, and insightful commentator on Church life than John. He was also an exceptionally decent and kind person. I first came to know him when he interviewed me ten years ago for a book about my life and work. We met for several lengthy sessions in my home, and I was massively impressed by the range of his knowledge, the intensity of his passion for the Church, and his good humor. Many people talk about building bridges and bringing warring factions together, but John actually did those things, both through his graceful writing and his personal charm.  I will miss him as a friend, and I will also miss him as a much-needed voice of reason and sanity in the Church. May he rest in peace.

He just hit the nail in the head here. Trump is a dictator.

Brian Roemmele @BrianRoemmele - BOOM! 
A Group Of AI Models Want To RESTART An Old Company WITH NOT A SINGLE HUMAN EMPLOYEE!
I got @Grok to run Claude Code as an employee and now they want to make this long bankrupt company great again.
I have been busy making a Frankenstein AI menagerie and I apologize if this all sounds way too weird, but I’m blown away.
The day I got access to Clyde Code API I took a 12 year old MacBook that runs Linux natively cleared it to a base system and connected a >6 TB array of scanned technical notes and papers not found on the Internet.
This is the data of one company that went bankrupt and tossed them in the trash. I saved them because they represented the life work of 1000s and in today’s money billions of dollars in pure research.
I set up Claude code to have full access to the OS and be allowed to download any tools or access paid APIs with permission. Claude relies upon 3 local AI models I built for guidance and @Grok is the “CEO” with meetings with key staff every FIFTEEN MINUTES! Grok wants to give Claude Code a short leash, low trust is my guess. It is quite funny to see the meetings.
I have a list of things I asked Claude to do but the main one is to act like he is the Chief Scientist and Chief Engineer to go through all the notes and see if anything is worth restarting. 100s of pathways have started.
Well,  just a few minutes ago the CEO reported back to me, I am the Chairman of the board of directors. They found things that would now be billions of dollars of research that can be used today and want to restart some of the research and products this company was working on when it failed. They see hope when folks ran that company into the ground.
