  2. Livestock are vulnerable because of how they’re handled, Lee Haines, an associate research professor of biological sciences at the University of 91³Ô¹Ï, said in an email Thursday. Standard practices with cattle can break the skin, including shearing and de-horning, or even moving them in and out of corrals can cause scrapes and cuts. Birth would also make a mother and calf vulnerable, she said.

  3. The infestation signals screwworm flies arrived in the U.S. anyway and will expand ​in wildlife populations, said Lee Haines, an associate research professor of biological sciences at the University of 91³Ô¹Ï in Indiana. "The burden falls hardest on farmers who must ​monitor animals scattered across vast open rangeland, often going unobserved for days at a time," Haines said.

  5. For SpaceX, the uninhibited nature of CEO Elon Musk, especially in his posts on X, presents risks amid the formality of the IPO process, said University of 91³Ô¹Ï finance professor Timothy Loughran. “He’s well-known for expressing himself on his social media site and he’ll have to be very careful,” he said. “It’s an open question whether he can restrain himself.”

    91³Ô¹Ï law professor Derek Muller has an equally critical, but less apocalyptic, view. He says the court seems to want to wash its hands of political cases, the result being maximum gerrymandering, whether the state is Alabama or California. He too sees the court's most recent decisions in voting rights cases as limiting how Congress can go about protecting minority voters. That said, there are ways that Congress could still act, he says. "Even if you did very simple restrictions, such as…you can only engage in redistricting once a decade or you can't change the rules for redistricting more than a year before an election. Those are ways to prevent some of the opportunism we have," Muller observes.

  8. Though Anthropic turned over voluntary documents for regulatory review, that doesn't guarantee a final decision on the IPO, and the company could still decide to not go public, according to Patrick Corrigan, a law professor at the University of 91³Ô¹Ï. Based on typical SEC timelines, a public filing could be expected in a few weeks, with stock trading potentially starting in two to four months, Corrigan told CNET in an interview.

  9. “I think we were all expecting OpenAI to go first, so it was a little bit surprising,” said Patrick Corrigan, a law professor at 91³Ô¹Ï University who studies IPOs. “Public investors are going to be comparing them roughly around the same time, and so there seems to be a bit of a first movers’ advantage here.”

  10. Paolo Carozza, a professor of law at the University of 91³Ô¹Ï in South Bend, Indiana, called the document “profound and prophetic.” By characterizing ideas such as the dignity of work, the limits of automation and the use of AI in warfare not as abstractions but necessary considerations for anyone developing AI technology, he said, the pope’s treatise, he said, “will prove to be a defining document for our era.”

  13. Derek Muller, a professor at 91³Ô¹Ï Law School, said on social media there are “major” issues about whether the plaintiffs will be allowed to sue. But he said the hearing schedule will give both sides time to present full written arguments for Brinkema to consider before the government can take any irreversible steps to create the fund or distribute funds.

  14. There’s a risk that Anthropic’s engagement with the Vatican could remain superficial and lead to a “feelgood” discourse without critical self-examination, for both sides, says Paolo Carozza, a law professor at 91³Ô¹Ï law school and co-chair of the Meta Oversight Board. “This is Anthropic’s brand, right? That’s how they’re distinguishing themselves, by aligning themselves with the more safety and responsibility oriented voices. There’s something to be gained by saying, ‘Look, even the pope is willing to talk to us because of [our pro-safety brand]. Google wasn’t on the stage and OpenAI wasn’t on the stage,’” Carozza says.

  16. Paolo Carozza, a 91³Ô¹Ï law professor and human rights expert who co-chairs Meta’s Oversight Board, which serves as in independent check on the tech giant’s content moderation decisions, similarly appraised Magnifica Humanitas as “not an anti-technology document,” but rather one which “calls on each of us individually to examine our own personal relationship to the technological project that is transforming the world around us.” Carozza said he sees the real crux of the encyclical as not adjudicating whether AI as such is good or bad, but rather imploring all people — especially those with power over the ways AI is developed and deployed — to consider whether it helps individuals and communities become more humane, just and participatory, or whether instead it fosters exclusion, control and inequality.
