Technology

religious loonies will likely be the end of us all.

Stop asking "what would Jesus do?", use Jesus API.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Oh yay antichrist

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.

That dream of an AGI just a little further away every day.

Actually this is a pretty impressive grift. I don’t think anyone has tried this before.

lol

Honestly didn't know that Gelsinger was a bible thumper, after his time at Intel I figured he'd just retire and disappear.

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

Mental illness and senility, what a combo.

Fundamentalism is inherently opposed to scientific discovery and technological creativity.

I feel like we're forgetting that this is the apocalypse. He wants to start the apocalypse.

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

He missed this commandment: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"

What a psycho

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.

We have TempleOS already, but thanks anyway.

Christian fundamentalists in charge of finding new exciting ways to kill themselves and take everyone else with them in the process.

And I didn't think I could loathe religion, and those weak willed enough to need it, more. Thanks Patrick, you superstitious cunt!

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.
