## Resource

In this episode, we cover Pope Leo the Fourteenth's landmark AI encyclical Magnifica Humanitas, launched at the Vatican alongside Anthropic co-founder Christopher Olah, calling for robust AI regulation and human dignity in the age of autonomous systems. We also break down reports that Anthropic is in early talks to run Claude on Microsoft's in-house Maia 200 AI chips, adding a fifth silicon source alongside Nvidia, Amazon Trainium, and Google TPUs. Plus, Google's new Gemini for Science suite bundles Co-Scientist, AlphaEvolve, and NotebookLM into an AI-native research stack, and Sam Altman's $2 million token-for-equity offer to Y Combinator startups sparks debate over "tokenmaxxing" and OpenAI platform lock-in. https://www.aiconvocast.com Help support the podcast by using our affiliate links: Eleven Labs: https://try.elevenlabs.io/ibl30sgkibkv Disclaimer: This podcast is an independent production and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Anthropic, Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, Y Combinator, the Vatican, or any other entities mentioned unless explicitly mentioned.
