Just corporations trying to bring on the apocalypse so they don’t have to pay a little more in taxes.
Normal stuff
If he made a Christian AI, it would be shut down within a week for being too woke.
Pay no attention to the ex-Intel CEO behind the curtain.
Is this irony or something? Use Ai to get closer to god? Its the exact opposite people need to do.
But who is surprised in this upside down world.
I don’t care what the bible says
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.

Hahahahaha…wait, was that not a joke?
No there isn’t. 🤣
Peter Thiel has entered the chat
Stop asking “what would Jesus do?”, use Jesus API.
JAAS.
AI Jesus will tell you to switch to a eastern religion.
If it ain’t going to rally the crusades why even bother?
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.
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.
We did this, the answer was 42.
I don’t think it will take long either. When you look at all the grifts the American evangelists pull, and people fall for it every time, then you’ve got all these people thinking that Trump is anointed by God or some such crap. No problem at all in selling these idiots the idea that they have an instant always-on hotline to God via God’s Chosen LLM. Then you’ve got them locked in to whatever psychosis you choose to construct for them.
religious loonies will likely be the end of us all.
Actually this is a pretty impressive grift. I don’t think anyone has tried this before.
lol
Exactly, one man’s mission to soak up as much money from religious nutters as possible.
Just as the church has always done.
Hastening the coming? He needs to reread the bible then.
“But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.” - Matthew 24:36
They think that they can force God’s hand. They’re that arrogant.
Anyway, the whole fundie end-times narrative is late 19th-century fanfic. It not only contradicts their scriptures, it’s also incoherent and badly written. At least Dante, when he made things up, was consistent with the core beliefs, as well as his work being far better-written and more coherent than the source literature. But the Rapture is just the rantings of tent-show shysters. Even bronze-age shepherds did better.
If more Christians would read the bible, there’d be less Christians.
I was brought up Catholic. The Dominican brothers taught me to think critically. Now I’m not a Catholic, or any kind of Christian, anymore.
And for the fractally schismatic fundamentalist Protestants, they stopped adhering to a Christian belief system over a century ago. Very little that they believe has any connection to Christianity, and most of it contradicts core beliefs. For them, it’s just a tribal identity. “We’re the chosen people and everyone else is wrong.”
The week, on the other hand, is fair game.
Sounds ridiculous, but apologists will literally say this.
Fundamentalism is inherently opposed to scientific discovery and technological creativity.
I know a lot of engineers who are rational in their work lives, but also have weird cultish beliefs. Compartmentalization and cognitive dissonance are things.
Having to reach waaay back into the memories of my Christian upbringing here, but I seem to recall that God doesn’t like people who try to game the system
