A Community Reading: The Pope’s AI Encyclical, Large Language Mojitos, and Being Human Together

Pope Leo XIV has released Magnifica Humanitas, a 42,000-word essay advocating that AI should benefit humanity rather than concentrate power.

Join us as we read it together out loud at Local Economy — an ideal spot for discussions about keeping things small, human, and authentic.

Event Details:

• Date: Sunday, August 9
• Where: Local Economy, 6028 College Ave, Oakland, CA 94618, USA

Enjoy a collaborative, mic-passed reading of the Vatican's encyclical for the AI age.
We're also accepting submissions for themed drinks — how about a Poperol Spritz? Expect a fun and curious crowd eager to discuss how to keep humans at the center of technology.

Join us for a delightful blend of ideas and refreshments! 🍹
