As we begin our journey through #Lent, let us ask the Lord to grant us the gift of true conversion of heart, so that we may better respond to His love for us and share that love with those around us.

This is what the Butlerian Jihad is all about. It isn't "robots will tsoe over the world" it's "robotic minds degrade and corrode human capacity to the point where we become subhuman beasts". It's an extremely important distinction
The thing about AI being demonic is that it really is demonic. "I'll do your homework for you, in exchange for sapping your intelligence and motivation and ability to function without AI" is literally something a demon would do

the slopification of the human mind
i didn't think this would be a big deal or happen so fast but i'm seeing teams nerf their own ability to use their brains because of llm dependence and when they run into a problem the llm can't fix they start doing really weird stuff

the fact that the best AIs can’t create a single funny joke says a lot

literally practicing the murder of children
“Destroy them, O God… Cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions.”

it should be $120.
No. No game deserves to cost 100 bucks. Not even 90. Not even 80. Not even 70. Not even 60. People just accepted prices way too easily instead of going against them. "But people did-" And they stopped after a couple weeks. Like I'm sorry but if you think $100 is fine then idk

there are about 163 million employed people in the US. do we really think AI is going to eliminate over 60% of them?
AI and automation could eliminate nearly 100 million jobs in the US over the next decade, per a Senate report.

Without the reconciling truth of Christ, people remain trapped in cycles of law, vengeance, and tribal identity.

“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!” Matthew 23:37

Joy Reid on the fascist agenda: "They want to take us back to no income tax, no regulations, earn what you want, family inherits everything"

A common Programmer brag is being extremely adept at keyboard shortcuts. Tiling WMs, TUIs, Vim keybindings everywhere, etc... But is it actually faster? Apple spent $50 million on R&D in 1989 to prove otherwise:

i like how they immediately return to calling people fascists, right after a great man was shot after falsely being labeled a fascist
Pastor here. Fyi, Fourth Reich political rallies are NOT memorial services.

I turned off all code autocomplete on my editor and I'm way way faster again. Most LLM based autocompletion products suck big time right now. The peak was literally 2 years ago. It's hard to understand how it's possible to degrade the UX this much.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was one Trump most vocal enemies. She detested him and was outward about it. This is how he reacted to her passing.
