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.
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.

Hahahahaha.....wait, was that not a joke?
No there isn't. 🤣
Oh yay antichrist
Mental illness and senility, what a combo.
Honestly didn't know that Gelsinger was a bible thumper, after his time at Intel I figured he'd just retire and disappear.
That dream of an AGI just a little further away every day.
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?
Super intelligent suckers seems like a wonderful goal.
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.
Actually this is a pretty impressive grift. I don’t think anyone has tried this before.
lol
Exactly, one man's mission to soak up as much money from religious nutters as possible.
Just as the church has always done.
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
If more Christians would read the bible, there'd be less Christians.
The week, on the other hand, is fair game.
Sounds ridiculous, but apologists will literally say this.
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.
Never forget that Christians think that the apocalypse is a good thing.
What a psycho
He missed this commandment: "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"
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
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.
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!
This is Christianity.
Ohhh the holy smoke is potent with this one
I was thinking of another word that starts with S.
We have TempleOS already, but thanks anyway.
