The title seems to be editorialized. To me, it makes it sound like Christopher Olah (the mentioned Anthropic co-founder) is a co-author. Instead he is going to be one of several speakers present when the encyclical is released.

Agree, the introduction from article:

> Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica humanitas, on preserving the human person in the age of artificial intelligence, will be released on May 25. A presentation event with the Pope and various speakers is scheduled for the same day at the Vatican.

Among the "various speakers" is Christopher Olah. But hard to express under 80 characters I bet.

It made me think that the founder wrote their own encyclical with AI
“Claude, today you will be speaking ex cathedra …”

Actually I may try that as a prompt. Last week I was having git commit messages all be in iambic tetrameter to see if anyone noticed but it annoyed me to death after the first two.

Now to look up “load-bearing” in Latin, just in case.

Funniest HN comment on religious topic ever. Literal LOL.
Didn’t even think they made encyclicalpedias anymore
yeah 'anthropic employee to appear on panel'
