This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I hate zealots. Fuckin religious twats trying to ruin it for everyone else.
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.
More than that, most of the old testament is stories about how you don't debate God, you don't test God, and you definitely don't force God's hand.
Honestly, this Intel guy is cute compared to the Christian Zionists, who somehow think God wants and will be happy with their attempts to manufacture prophecy.

Why are the American religious right so fixated on the rapture? It's a death cult sprawling across the nation like a cancer.
Because they think they will go to heaven. If I read the Bible I'd say they wouldn't.
Tech billionaires will totally destroy us all.
Holy shit, when does Big Tech ever stop being such a clown show???

I don't believe in thier imaginary God. And I won't worship thier Robot one.
This is the lamest Adeptus Mechanicus cosplay I’ve ever read about.
These are definitely the people who end up killing us all.
Why would Christ want you literally playing God and fucking with his timeline?
ChristAI can miraculously turn anything into shit. 🙏
Jarred by his teachings, religious conservatives would reject a Christian AI modeled after Jesus as "too woke".
Nothing that a little training data and parameter manipulation can't fix.
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 REALLY expect conservatives to actually follow the non oppressive sections of the scriptures?
Rotfl
Remember when God said he didn’t want idols made
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?
jfc lmao
christians/conservatives fall for scams, ponzi schemes pretty easily. another way to grift these people.
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.
They've read the Bible! Well, some of it. Well, they've heard their pastor read it. Well, paraphrase it.
Not just the Bible. A lot of this extremist ideology comes from people who like to sound smart, but don't know what they're talking about.
Like the whole effective altruism movement, or even just the resurgence of eugenics with Musk and his whole birthing weirdness.
What's wrong with effective altruism?
What's the issue with effective altruism?
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.

“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.
