This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Remember when God said he didn’t want idols made, then he punished the Jews to wander the desert for 40 years.
This gives those vibes.
It feels plain wrong.

You are about 1700 years late to this argument. Christians reconciled with iconography some time in the Byzantium Era.
And after Protestantism? FFS, can you imagine what Joseph Smith would say about an AI Prophet, after spending half his career reading discs out of a hat with special sunglasses?
You REALLY expect conservatives to actually follow the non oppressive sections of the scriptures?
Rotfl
I think they could use a good 40 years wandering the desert right now.
Also I don’t think Christ would return if we were all being cool to each other, so they’re admitting they’re just trying to push humanity more off track.
How does that help you in God’s judgement? I’m pretty sure disrespecting all of his creation and doing the opposite of everything Jesus stood for won’t go well.
I’m agnostic, but selfishly I would not purposefully try to hasten driving myself to hell/damnation if I believed in it.
Thankfully the values my mom taught me are the same ones Jesus taught: love your neighbour as yourself and do unto others as you would have done to you.

This is what baffles me when my dad argues with me for being left of center.
You sent me where they taught this, did you not want me to learn it?
(Also not religious, but kept some of the philosophy)
There’s a lot of good Christian teachings that just make the world better regardless of your fear of eternal punishment or any god.
While outside my education I’m sure most religions too, but too many people get caught up in casting out others, or hating the non believers, or doling out punishments they have no right to.
Wandering the desert?
Nay, vibe travelling.
The ego on these people, calling themselves Christians but thinking God needs their help for his plans.
They think God works through them, and it is their divine duty to do this.
It's how they justify a lot of the shit they do.
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
-Susan B. Anthony
Don't you know, God is a lazy slob who needs to be provoked into action. And of course he has no idea what's happening on Earth unless someone tells him in a very specific way.
Well he did only work 6 days in his life
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.
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.
Where there was once purported atheism, there is now “a very loud, very visible and very specifically Christian-inflected technological culture” in Silicon Valley, said Damien Williams, a scholar at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte who studies how technologies are shaped by religious beliefs.
Danger. Danger.
With all of this ‘hasten the coming of Christ’ talk it sounds like they’re planning on catching and trapping him.
When your god is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent, and also can easily be manipulated by puny human technology into doing your bidding.
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.
Lol the first LLM with included cognitive dissonance and self-loathing
mission to build a Christian AI
But AI is already fucking stupid?
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.
~~An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return~~
An ex-intel CEO's idea to make money by combining two money making tools
This sounds an awful lot like idolatry to me, which is supposedly forbidden in Christianity.
"Hi there! It looks like you're trying to summon Jeebus!" --Fundy Clippy
These are definitely the people who end up killing us all.
Why would Christ want you literally playing God and fucking with his timeline?
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.
*Ya know, i was god once...
Yes, i saw. You were doing well until everyone died.*
We have TempleOS already, but thanks anyway.
If he made a Christian AI, it would be shut down within a week for being too woke.
I think I understand skynet now. It must have been a Christian AI and decided it would bring upon the rapture, and no one was worthy.
ever notice that, with LLMs, the main goal of the people who own them is to turn them from machines that spit out information they gathered in realistic-ishly human ways to machines that spit out what their owners want people to believe?
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.
Actually this is a pretty impressive grift. I don’t think anyone has tried this before.
lol
This is the lamest Adeptus Mechanicus cosplay I’ve ever read about.
“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.” -- Frank Herbert
"Right now there is an explosive growth of the number of computers and things they can do. Not only are their numbers increasing at a dazzling rate, but the storage of information in giant data banks is growing in the same explosive way.
We have no way to control this now and none in sight. In fact, the very nature of this growth says that all controls will lag far behind computer developments. Any attempt to ban them will only drive com- puters underground. Never lose sight of the fact that computers "crunch time." The speed at which computers can operate tells us that laws cannot keep up with them. The person with a computer can dance rings around you while you react as though you were embedded in molasses.
What can you do?
Get your own computer. Learn how to use it. We are here to help you make that first step: how to find the one that fits your needs and your pocketbook, where to put it, how to program it-all of the essentials. If you don't do this, the Bill of Rights is dead and your individual liberties will go the way of the dodo." -- also Frank Herbert
I hate how much we seem to be slowly careening towards Frank Herbert's vision like the worse case of collective target fixation.
Mark my words — but we’re going to see a time (in our lifetimes) where a group of people is going to worship an AI as “divine”. And you won’t be able to convince them otherwise. An AI-centric cult is all but inevitable at this point. And it will be self-reinforcing.
I hate zealots. Fuckin religious twats trying to ruin it for everyone else.
Jarred by his teachings, religious conservatives would reject a Christian AI modeled after Jesus as "too woke".
jfc lmao
