Leo XIV's encyclical Magnifica Humanitas came out on 15 May, and within a week I had already read more or less every possible word of praise. The Catholics of the left (read: catto-communists) celebrated it for its explicit anti-capitalism; the critics of technology (read: techno-sceptics) for its warning against Big Tech; the mainstream press for the pop citations – Tolkien, Beethoven, Schindler's List; even a few self-declared atheists, scattered across social media, tipped their hats at the lucidity with which a Pope names the concentration of computational power in the hands of a few. At the presentation, in the Synod Hall, Chris Olah sat among the speakers – co-founder of Anthropic and head of research on AI interpretability. This is not a detail: it is the signature on a document that wants to be taken seriously even by those who actually build the models. Of praise, in short, I have read enough. I, however, want to do the opposite exercise.
