eng. This Is NOT AI — Man Actually Fights a T-800 Robot - And This is Only The Start A man fights a six foot tall T-800 robot replica. It's not AI. It's a from a company called REK, Robot Entertainment Kombat. From there it's a deep dive into just how fast the robot revolution is moving. The Helix household robot folds laundry and makes beds, Optimus aiming for retail shelves by 2027, and predictions of a billion humanoid machines walking around within five years. Then things swerve into a genuinely strange headline from the UN, where a major push is underway to rebrand "artificial intelligence" as "super intelligence" — and why that name change might actually make more sense than it sounds. There's a breakdown of the difference between AGI and ASI, a warning about the coming wave of AI agents scamming refunds out of unsuspecting companies, and a look at why everyone feels like the world is speeding up faster than anyone can keep up with.

As France moves toward legalising euthanasia, Leo XIV spoke about the unconditional value of human life. Speaking today at UNESCO in Paris, Leo XIV warned against a society that measures human worth by efficiency and casts aside those deemed no longer productive. “Our dignity is not destroyed by illness or suffering, nor is it dependent upon our abilities,” he said. Even in “the most vulnerable circumstances, even to death itself,” human dignity remains undiminished. The sick, suffering and dying, he said, must receive “loving care at every stage of life.”
Leo XIV, s’adressant à l’UNESCO à Paris, s’élève contre l’euthanasie : « L’être humain est certes celui qui naît, mais aussi celui qui meurt. Notre dignité n’est pas détruite par la maladie ou la souffrance, et elle ne dépend pas non plus de nos capacités. Elle exige au contraire une attention bienveillante à chaque étape de la vie. »
Some 2,500 journalists are covering Leo XIV’s visit to France, with special programming across the country’s main TV channels, radio stations, newspapers and news sites. Today, large crowds filled central Paris for the Pope’s visit. The scale of the turnout comes after days of unusually extensive media coverage of Leo XIV and his trip.
Incredible crowds in central Paris for His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.

During today’s flight to France, Leo XIV was not asked any serious or hard question like about his episcopal appointments. He was asked: "Are you a happy person?" Leo XIV responded: "Happy, yes, I think so." Then he added: "Despite the difficulties, I find it in Faith. I am content with a choice made many years ago, which I still renew every time. But I tell myself: following Jesus is the happiest thing in life." Speaking of the weight of his mission, he said: "It's heavy… it tires me much more, but God is great, he is much greater than us." In response to questions about his fluency in French, Leo XIV answered he has been practicing a little bit, but he is not using Duolingo anymore, as had been reported in certain media outlets.
Durante il volo papale verso la Francia, che accoglierà Papa Leone XIV a Parigi, Lourdes e Metz, al Santo Padre è stata posta una domanda molto personale: «È una persona felice?» Papa Leone ha risposto: «Felice, sì, penso di sì». Poi ha aggiunto: «Nonostante le difficoltà, però trovo nella fede. Sono contento di una scelta fatta molti anni fa, che ancora rinnovo ogni volta. Però mi dico: seguire Gesù è la cosa più felice della vita».
Here he should have said: next question. "I am glad that you are all here,” Pope Leo said aboard plane to France in response to CNN Vatican reporter who asked for comment on the banning of some journalists from White House. "It is necessary and I think it is very important to have good media coverage everywhere and for everyone,” the Pope said.
The first question I would have asked would have been a very simple one: what, when the aircraft takes off again at the end of these few days, do we actually want to have achieved?
Leo XIV to the Civil Authorities of the French Republic: “A Christian involved in public life, acting in the light of his faith, cannot be considered a proselytizer and a threat to the homeland. Proper secularism does not consist of excluding religion from the public space.”
Pope Leo XIV went to the Élysée and, with Emmanuel Macron sitting in front of him, delivered a theoretical lesson on what laïcité should mean. A "just secularism", he said, does not consist in excluding religion from the public sphere or from education, “Catholic schools have their full place in the educational landscape of a country like France.” Leo XIV greeted not simply “the French,” but “all those who live in this country.” Together, he said, they form “one people,” whose diversity of origins enriches democratic life and “the art of living together.” Leo XIV also went – in words only - into one of France’s fiercest current debates: euthanasia, pushed through by Macron. The pope warned against expecting science to provide an answer and consolation for every human suffering, and explicitly named genetic manipulation, surrogacy, the buying of organs and “the offer of a programmed death.” “The protection of the right to life constitutes the indispensable foundation of every other human …Ve

Pope Leo XIV left a brief English message in UNESCO’s guestbook during his visit to its Paris headquarters today: “Grateful for the welcome I have received, it is my hope that, with God’s help, UNESCO will continue its valuable promotion of international cooperation in the fields of education, science and culture.” Leo XIV is the first pope to visit UNESCO headquarters since John Paul II in 1980. #newsOsdyxiyafc
German Protestant Green politician preaches at Cologne Cathedral. Cologne’s Catholic city treasurer Dörte Diemert and pro-abortion Protestant Green politician Katrin Göring-Eckardt, a former Vice President of the German Bundestag, are preaching together at an ecumenical service at Cologne Cathedral at 4:45 p.m. today. Göring-Eckardt told the 'Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger': “I think it’s good for a Catholic house like this to have women take such a prominent role. All the Greens from Cologne I spoke to were wide-eyed and said: ‘None of us has ever been allowed to do that before.’” Göring-Eckardt, who studied Protestant theology, says she does not intend to give a political speech but to preach.

A ‘porter’ who led others to Christ: Archbishop Fulton Sheen declared ‘blessed’ [ewtnnews] ST. LOUIS — Archbishop Fulton Sheen, despite his humble origins in small-town Illinois, aspired to great things as an academic and as a communicator of the Catholic faith. On Sept. 24, before a crowd of tens of thousands at The Dome at America’s Center, the farm-boy-turned-mass-media star was declared “blessed” after the reading of a decree signed by Pope Leo XIV, a fellow Midwesterner. Via his decree, Pope Leo announced Blessed Sheen’s feast day will be on Dec. 9, the anniversary of his death. His feast day is expected to be on the calendar of the Catholic Church in the United States. Cardinal Luis Tagle, the pope’s representative and the principal celebrant of the beatification Mass, reflected on the meaning of “blessed” during his homily — noting that....
