Pope says AI must be disarmed and shouldn’t dominate humanity. We’re going the opposite way.
The Pope just dropped his first encyclical, and AI companies should probably read it.
Pope Leo XIV signing his first encyclical

Pope Leo XIV signed his first encyclical on May 15, the 135th anniversary of Pope Leo XIII's Rerum novarum. The document, Magnifica humanitas, was published on May 25 and addresses one of the defining challenges of our time: artificial intelligence and its impact on humanity.

I built an offline Grammarly alternative and turned it into a Mac app without any coding

Grammarly alternative built using Claude.

I wrote this entire article while seated on an airplane experiencing unusually high turbulence. The software I used to spell-check and grammatically sanitize the draft was built at an airport. The language engine is running entirely on my Mac, fully offline, fixing all my typos and removing the double spaces while I mash the keyboard and sip a sugar-bomb coffee.

Grammarly, if you don't know, is one of the most popular apps for spelling and grammar checking on the planet. So, how did I do it? I asked Claude. I narrated my wish, it asked my preferences, and in less than 30 minutes, I built myself a no-internet Grammarly replacement while also avoiding the "yet-another-subscription" curse.
