    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.

      Did you guys see that AI generated drone show in the sky? Those libtards must be getting super afraid to stoop that low. Hey! Jon! Did you make sure the food bank in that black neighborhood had their deliveries diverted to the dump?

    This sounds an awful lot like idolatry to me, which is supposedly forbidden in Christianity.

    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.

      Holding a view like that would require these people to have read their own mythology and I doubt many of them are even literate.

    • AppleTea@lemmy.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      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.

    source
    • zarkanian@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Because they think that they’re going to be the ones who are rewarded, not the ones who will be punished.

    • other_cat@piefed.zip ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      These people think they’re in the end times because the world is in a garbage fire state, that they probably helped cause, and now they want out instead of doing literally anything else, including just not making it worse.

    • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Because it gives them the ability to let themselves off the hook for participating in the destruction of the planet.

      source
      • the16bitgamer@programming.dev ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Destruction of the planet, hardly. The earth has and will shrug of worse than humanity. Thinking otherwise is giving humanity too much credit.

        Destruction of humanity is more likely. We are actively making the earth worse for us, and may other species. But there are many more which will survive and thrive after we destroy ourselves.

        There’s also the childish desire for an “I told you so” as they watch anyone they don’t like being sent to hell.

      Because they think they will go to heaven. If I read the Bible I’d say they wouldn’t.

    Why would Christ want you literally playing God and fucking with his timeline?

    The religious right would reject a Christian AI modeled after Jesus as “too woke”.

    Good, maybe this will somehow force Christians to actually act like Christ wanted them to.

      These are conservatives. They won’t tolerate a woke AI.

    Judging by comments, people do seem to have a problem with religion.

    • AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works ⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I have a problem with these people exploiting and weaponizing my religion for their own profit. Not that they’re the first to do it, but it’s even more ridiculous to grow up and see the hypocritical “traditionalists” joining forces with hypocritical technocrats.

      People can accept the religions of others, particularly if it motivates them to be better people, help others, or find inner peace. If you don’t share this guys specific religious views, then it appears he’s actively trying to bring about the end of the world.

    “We’re building the Eschaton Immanentising Machine, from the famous theological treatise ‘Don’t Immanentise the Eschaton’”

    (Also, using LLMs sounds a lot less efficient than the exhaustive search described in The Nine Billion Names of God)

    “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.

        Not that I disagree, just as someone who loves computers and programming it really feels like throwing out the baby along with the bathwater.

        We could (should imo) be planning a sort of overthrow of the rich assholes who don’t share; make sure everyone has access to a computer, the electricity need to run it, and the knowledge to use it to their own benefit.

        The second, longer quote in my previous comment is from the intro to a computer self-help/“how-to” book, Without Me You Are Nothing (pdf link).
