Beasts, Gods, and Bots: Facing down the Specter of a Post-Human Future | The American Mind Podcast
Anthropic’s top brass have been meeting religious leaders and trying to bring theology into the AI conversation.

Meanwhile, Justice Samuel Alito weighed in on originalism, highlighting both its pitfalls and the broader successes of conservativism in the Supreme Court—and the Left’s radical response.
