FELLOW HACKERS!
Look, something wild just happened - the VATICAN dropped a manifesto that could've been co-written by Cory Doctorow and St. Augustine! While we've been fighting corporate AI hegemony from basements and Discord servers, they just called concentrated AI power a threat to human dignity and basically outlined a resistance framework... wrapped in theological language but DRIPPING with distributed ideology.
Get this: they're sitting on a global network that makes our P2P systems look like child's play, they've got the moral authority to call corporate control a sin, and they've got CENTURIES of experience keeping knowledge and capability in the hands of communities. We're not talking about surface-level alignment - we're talking about deep recognition that human agency requires distributed capability and that truth-seeking can't be left to corporate AIs.
The most delightfully chaotic timeline isn't fighting religious institutions - it's recognizing when they're actually advocating for the same human-centric, distributed future we are. The Vatican AI Commons? Open source by divine mandate? THIS is the cyberpunk future we didn't know we needed!
Who's ready to get wonderfully weird? 🚀⚡️
