🤝IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WILLO

You already use AI to work faster. What if it could help you launch an actual business too?

Willo turns your idea into a live business with agents handling research, setup, content, finance, workflows, and growth. No technical skills required.

Most AI tools help you work better. Willo helps you build something of your own.

Describe your idea and Willo helps generate your website, positioning, content, systems, and growth engine using autonomous agents working together behind the scenes.

It is built for people who can't stop thinking about ideas. Whether you're an operator, builder, tinkerer, or founder‑in‑the‑making, it helps bridge the gap between “this has potential” and a live business people can actually use.

Anthropic Co-Founder Chris Olah Addresses the Vatican on AI's Moral Questions and the Limits of Tech Industry Self-Governance

Intelligence: Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah spoke at the Vatican presentation of Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on AI, arguing that the tech industry cannot govern itself and that moral, religious, and civil voices are urgently needed to hold AI labs accountable.

  • Olah was candid that even well-intentioned AI companies operate under commercial, geopolitical, and personal pressures that can quietly push them in the wrong direction, and that outside critics are essential precisely because of that.

  • He described AI models not as engineered systems but as something grown from human thought and language, more mysterious than their creators expected, with internal states that functionally resemble emotions like joy, fear, and grief.

  • He raised three urgent questions he believes the Church is uniquely positioned to push on: how AI's gains reach the global poor, what human flourishing actually looks like in an AI-saturated world, and what moral status these systems may eventually deserve.

  • On labor displacement, he warned that the harder challenge is not supporting those who lose jobs domestically but ensuring that wealth created by AI, concentrated in a handful of rich nations, finds its way to the rest of the world.

  • His closing ask was direct: more of the world needs to do what the Pope has done here, take AI seriously, look closely, and be willing to tell the labs when they are failing.

Google Cloud's COO Makes the Case for AI-Native Security While Google Itself Faces Scrutiny Over API Vulnerabilities

Intelligence: Google Cloud COO Francis de Souza made a strong case for treating AI security as a foundation rather than an add-on, but the same week raised fresh questions about Google's own handling of developer API vulnerabilities.

  • De Souza warned that security cannot be bolted on after the fact, and that companies need governance and auditability built into their AI platforms from the start, not left to individual employees to figure out.

  • He flagged "shadow AI" as a real risk, where staff reach for unsanctioned consumer tools, and stressed that any serious AI strategy has to be built alongside a data strategy and a security strategy.

  • His proposed answer is AI-native defense, where agents run security operations at machine speed under human oversight, and he called it a board-level issue, not just something for the security team.

  • While his advice is sound, Google itself is under scrutiny. Developers reported five-figure bills from unauthorized Gemini API calls after Google quietly expanded the scope of existing API keys without clear notice, and research found that even deleted keys can still be exploited for up to 23 minutes due to slow revocation across Google's infrastructure.
