The Pope vs. AI — Same Guardrails, Different Avatar | Brobots

Pope Leo XIV just dropped a 42,000-word document calling for AI to be "disarmed" — and the word was chosen deliberately, because it implies a weapon. Jeremy and Jason dig into why that framing actually makes sense: religion and AI are running the same playbook. Both sell a higher power. Both shape how populations think, act, and behave. And both are controlled by a very small number of people pulling the levers. Jason's take is pointed: the guardrails built into the Bible haven't stopped people from ignoring them for centuries. AI guardrails won't either — because there's no sky monster holding you accountable if you break them. In fact, the thing being sold with AI is that you can become the sky monster. Chris Olah from Anthropic was present at the Vatican for the document's release. Whether that slows down the financial juggernaut behind AI is a different question entirely.
