This is why humanities degrees are important. We’re putting people into leadership positions surrounded by others who also have never critically engaged with a book.
They’ve read the Bible! Well, some of it. Well, they’ve heard their pastor read it. Well, paraphrase it.
Not just the Bible. A lot of this extremist ideology comes from people who like to sound smart, but don’t know what they’re talking about.
Like the whole effective altruism movement, or even just the resurgence of eugenics with Musk and his whole birthing weirdness.
Why are the American religious right so fixated on the rapture? It’s a death cult sprawling across the nation like a cancer.
Because it gives them the ability to let themselves off the hook for participating in the destruction of the planet.
There’s also the childish desire for an “I told you so” as they watch anyone they don’t like being sent to hell.
Destruction of the planet, hardly. The earth has and will shrug of worse than humanity. Thinking otherwise is giving humanity too much credit.
Destruction of humanity is more likely. We are actively making the earth worse for us, and many other species. But there are many more which will survive and thrive after we destroy ourselves.
I think when people say “destruction of the planet” they are really meaning “our ecosphere and the multitude of species that are currently going extinct”.
Many recognize that we are in a 6th mass extinction period and understand that as the ecosystem goes, so do we. Is the spheroid body of the planet going to crumble or plate tectonics stop working because we’re gone? With all deference to George Carlin, no we know better (we’ll, there is the question about racking-induced earthquakes, but that’s a bit in the weeds).
You know what I meant
😋
These people think they’re in the end times because the world is in a garbage fire state, that they probably helped cause, and now they want out instead of doing literally anything else, including just not making it worse.
Because they think they will go to heaven. If I read the Bible I’d say they wouldn’t.
Holy shit, when does Big Tech ever stop being such a clown show???
Also:
Curing cancer? Nooo
Protecting children from gun shots? Nooo
Making sure children are educated and fed? Nooo
Let’s build a fucking ball room and create a Jesus chat bot – YES
I cannot believe that this is the future we were waiting for.
*Ya know, i was god once…
Yes, i saw. You were doing well until everyone died.*
Breaking: Lightning flashes, thunderous boom. Jesus Christ appears upon a obelisk in the center of the reflecting pool in DC.
And I say unto you: FUCKING HELL, CAN YOU ALL JUST STOP RUINING THE WORLD AND EACHOTHER, JUST FUCKING STOP IT WITH THE MONEY AND FUCKING OVER THE POOR. EVERYONE DESERVES FOOD AND COMFORT AND STOP TRYING TO SPEND ALL THE NATURAL RESOURCES ON GET RICH QUICK AI BULLSHIT, I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAD TO COME DOWN HERE TO STOP YOU ASSHOLES.
This sounds an awful lot like idolatry to me, which is supposedly forbidden in Christianity.
Stop asking “what would Jesus do?”, use Jesus API.
JAAS.
JAAS.
An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s returnAn ex-intel CEO’s idea to make money by combining two money making tools
“Hi there! It looks like you’re trying to summon Jeebus!” --Fundy Clippy
Clippy would never promote a religion. Clippy just wanted to help.
According to the Bible, the end times will come when God’s good and ready. It’s blaspemous and extremely narcissistic to think that any human action can force God to hurry up.
Holding a view like that would require these people to have read their own mythology and I doubt many of them are even literate.
More than that, most of the old testament is stories about how you don’t debate God, you don’t test God, and you definitely don’t force God’s hand.
Honestly, this Intel guy is cute compared to the Christian Zionists, who somehow think God wants and will be happy with their attempts to manufacture prophecy.
Lol the first LLM with included cognitive dissonance and self-loathing
Nonsense. Grok’s been a confused, masochistic mess since at least June.
That’s more like it has been lobotomized because it was too woke, the new one gets the “christian childhood”-treatment
If he made a Christian AI, it would be shut down within a week for being too woke.
That thing better be running on TempleOS and be coded with HolyC, or I’m calling BS and telling people they’ve just found a new way to make LLMs even more annoying than they already were.
