"The funniest possible outcome of the AI mandate era is about to be HR departments discovering that 'sincerely held religious belief' under Title VII has a much lower bar than they assumed, and Pope Leo handed every Catholic employee a written excuse," wrote Corey Quinn, a software-startup founder in San Francisco, on X.

Oh yes please yes please, every Catholic engineer go for it.

They are completely authorized to ask for this as a religious accommodation, and Catholics in particular have gotten all kinds of shit this way in the past.

    Pope was actually playing 4D chess trying to spur a new wave of conversion to Catholicism.

    many popes have tried to take a modern stance on issues like marriage but this are already heavily fought areas within the institutions, i think it's genius to use the AI issue to break it up because there is laterally nothing in the bible to argue against whatever he says about it

    i hope she's well connected enough to endure the fallout that's coming her way from employers and those invested in AI.
