Rememberโ€”the purpose of a Bible reading plan is not to keep you on schedule but to keep you in the Word. If you miss a meal, itโ€™s foolish to give up eating.

โ€œWe always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love that you have for all the saints,โ€ (Col 1:3-4 ESV) Saving faith is accompanied by love for those whom Christ has saved.

Spurgeon to preachers: โ€œTo go up and down all the week wasting time, and then to cast ourselves upon the Spirit's aid, is wicked presumption, an attempt to make the Lord minister to our sloth and self-indulgence; but in an emergency the case is widely different.โ€

This will deeply add to the loneliness epidemic by inviting people to depend on Dessa bots over human relationships. We donโ€™t need this. We need embodiment. Go talk to someone.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a personโ€ฆfull of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence. block.xyz/dessa

Relatedly, I'm freelancing for a bit here, but I'm looking for a new full-time role. I'm a widely published opinion writer and an experienced editor. After CT, my priority is getting into a stable, principled newsroom with a broad audience. If you know of something, get in touch!
