A Weekly Notebook by Tommy Lee

Building AI for Gospel Impact.

Each Friday I share what's changing in the world of AI, what it might mean for the Gospel, and one idea worth stewarding. Join me as we figure out what kind of company God might use to change how Gospel initiatives are funded.

The model I wrote about last week went dark.

Days after launching Fable 5, Anthropic pulled it and Mythos offline worldwide under a U.S. export order, with leaked letters and a G7 summit spilling into public view. Underneath the noise, a quieter Anthropic study showed that domain expertise, not coding skill, is what makes someone good with AI. Two tools worth knowing (Google Antigravity, Workspace Studio) and one idea worth stewarding: teach our cohort to build their own tools.

Anthropic's most powerful models went dark.

Mythos and Fable are offline amid a standoff with Washington over export controls, with leaked letters and a G7 summit spilling into public view. Plus a quieter Anthropic study showing that domain expertise, not coding skill, is what makes someone good with AI. Two tools worth knowing (Google Antigravity, Workspace Studio) and one idea worth stewarding: teach our cohort to build their own tools.

The Pope wrote 42,000 words on AI.

Pope Leo XIV dedicated his first encyclical to artificial intelligence, and partnered with Anthropic at the Vatican. The same week, Anthropic became the most valuable AI company in the world at $965B, and OpenAI's model made the first original mathematical discovery by an AI. Plus, three tools worth knowing (ElevenLabs dubbing, Codex goals, Synthesia video) and one idea worth stewarding: a sermon and Bible study assistant for pastors in local languages.

What's changing in the world, what it might mean for the Gospel, and one idea worth stewarding.

A month-in-review issue. Anthropic's Claude Mythos and the watershed moment for AI security. Google's Gemini Omni makes professional video free. Q1 venture funding hits $297B. Plus, one product idea: AI tools for cohort members to fund their own Gospel Action Plans.

Why I'm starting this notebook.

An introduction. Why I am writing this. What you can expect each Friday. And a thought on what it means to steward the most powerful technology in a generation for the sake of the Kingdom.
