That's the same guy who objects to people watching his precious movies on phones and rants against short attention span. Idiot!

Pope Leo XIV takes a stand against letting A.I. dominate humanity, and against “the tendency to let the logic of efficiency, control and profit alone shape personal, social and economic decisions.” www.newyorker.com/news/the-led...
