It seems Fable 5 inside of Claude may be available again in the next few days. Just a reminder this is the model the government shut down. It's the smartest model yet for coding/logic so hopefully we can do some demos next week. If you have any suggestions, please drop them in the comments.

At its latest I/O event, Google announced 100 new things. Most of it is aimed at developers, creatives, and everyday consumers, and sorting the useful from the noise takes time you probably do not have. Here is the short version: seven announcements with real ministry potential, sorted by when you can actually use them. Two honest caveats first. *Not every feature has rolled out yet; several will arrive later this summer. *Not every feature will be included in the cheapest plan at launch, so a few of these assume a paid Google AI subscription. New Plans/Credit Structure Alongside these announcements Google also reshuffled its plans and changed how usage is counted, so if you already subscribe, it is worth a quick look to see whether a different plan now fits you better. Available Now 1) Daily Brief. An out-of-the-box agent that organizes and prioritizes your day. Working overnight, it analyzes your inbox, calendar, and tasks to surface what matters most and suggest next steps. For a ministry leader juggling hospital visits, counseling appointments, staff meetings, and a flood of emails, that overnight work means you start the day already oriented, instead of having to dig in. - It connects the dots across your inbox, calendar, and to-do list, then suggests what to act on. - It learns your preferences and remembers recurring dates over time, which suits the rhythm of weekly ministry. Availability: rolling out now to U.S. Google AI subscribers who have connected their Google apps. 2) The new intelligent Search box. Google is calling this the biggest Search upgrade in over 25 years, and the practical change is that you can search across text, images, files, and videos at once while Search reasons across them. - Trace a reference across translations, or pull together historical background for a teaching, in a single search. - AI Overviews and the more conversational AI Mode now flow together, so a follow-up question does not mean starting over.

𝗣𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗼 𝗫𝗜𝗩 has released his first encyclical, a massive 42,000+ word letter titled Magnifica Humanitas (“Magnificent Humanity”), focused on protecting human dignity in the age of artificial intelligence. The document explores the moral, spiritual, social, and political challenges surrounding AI and calls for a future where human beings, not machines, remain at the center of society. I’m not Catholic, so I’m approaching this more as an observer than an insider. I also have not personally read the full document yet, and I’m sure there will be things in it that I agree with and other things I disagree with. Still, a 42,000-word encyclical on artificial intelligence feels like a pretty significant moment. Since most people probably are not going to sit down and read the whole thing right away, I had AI generate a quick summary to help highlight some of the main themes, concerns, and ideas from the document. What makes this even more interesting is that conversations about AI and religion are already happening across many different faith traditions. Thomas Kelley has even attempted to categorize and document how major religions and Christian perspectives are responding to artificial intelligence in a separate lengthy paper. If you’re interested in exploring that broader discussion, you can read it here. ---AI Summary Magnificent Humanity-- 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗟𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹 𝗢𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 (𝗧𝗟;𝗗𝗥) The document is an official letter from the Pope addressing the rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technology. His core message is simple: Technology should serve humanity, not the other way around. While AI has incredible potential to heal, educate, and connect us, it risks turning into a tool of corporate greed, human isolation, and automated warfare if left unchecked. The Church argues that human worth comes from being made in the image of God—not from how fast, efficient, or productive a machine can make us.

Really interesting video on how they’re using AI to create a high-quality series. Even if you never plan to create video content yourself, this is worth watching. It gives a fascinating look at how humans and AI can collaborate to create things that simply weren’t possible before. At one point, he brings up the old business saying: you can usually only pick two. Good, Fast, Cheap. But with AI, they’re starting to get all three, at least compared to traditional Hollywood production systems.
