We elected someone for president who literally embodies ALL of the Seven Deadly Sins. I'd say the AntiChrist is already here.
Didn't Jesus walk the holy land convincing god's chosen people to break their covenant with god? Sounds like Jesus was the Anti-Christ
Its actually amazing how the complete opposite of Christian he is and yet Christians love him... even when he says he isn't Christian.
The thing that you're missing is that christianity is a pretty brutal, cold-hearted thing. It was never meant to be about compassion and love. That's just what they tell the children sothat they get onboard with it all.
It's like, when you're teaching maths to children and you present fractions using apples and pies, pretty harmless things. Years later, you can use more advanced maths (that are based on the basics of maths) to engineer weapons and heavy machinery, and it's all based on the same maths. It's not about being cute, it's about maths, it's more abstract than any of the applications.
Math and science are completely neutral things. You can use them for any numbernof purposes, good or bad. AI could be a tremendous force for good, even the 'art generation' stuff i am sure has SOME uses (my use for it is making furry porn and nothing more).
But as it stands... it is being directly applied to gathering every single thing about everyone, fooling them into thinking they are having private conversations when absolutely everything is being logged, and causing emotional dependencies on programs that aren't people, and even killing others with military AI.
I remember in 2014 when the Robocop remake came out the whole point of that movie is talking about how AI law enforcement is a bad idea specifically because AI has absolutely no feelings whatsoever... and that trope of AI monsters killing people due to programming glitches, programming intent, or just utilitarian approaches has been around since the 1960s and 70s with 2001a space Odyssey and West World.
utilitarian approaches have been around for much longer than that, at least since 1500 when machiavelli wrote the influential book "the prince" where he argued utilitarism.
Correct. But I am referring to unfeeling computers writing off people like they were just assets and tools, like an unneeded screwdriver or empty soda can.
Not entirely surprising given how hypocritical Christians tend to be.
You put on one to two big performances a week, sometimes more depending on the time of year, and then the moment you walk out of the theater building all those supposed morals and values get forgotten.
