Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.

Referring to those Christians who think their religion licenses a kind of moderate disengagement from questions of justice, Barth insisted: "such indifference would be equivalent to...
a rebellion against the ordinance of God – and rebels secure their own condemnation"

Got a new off-white bedspread for the Spring without thinking about the fact that I have a dog, and it's muddy out.

It feels right that Donald Trump is the one to bring AI into the mainstream of war-making. Trump is susceptible to all forms of sycophancy, for which chatbots are infamous. His administration deplores accountability, ethics, and transparency. AI is an out-of-control technological marvel, but not in the way that tech CEOs want the public to fear: we aren’t in The Matrix, and we are not in danger of HAL taking command of the ship. AI is something else: a loaded gun in the hands of children. The children holding the gun happen to be in charge of the most powerful military the world has ever seen. Welcome to the first AI war.

Thank you for this, @johnslatteryphd.bsky.social.

Weird buses on the Green Line Shuttle!
