@NathanLeamerDC @aaron_renn Given the outsized paradigmatic & epistemological shifts, concern is understandable. However, there is theological ballast from both the doctrines of divine providence and common grace. There will be important advances that benefit humanity yet all must be held in tension.

@aaron_renn I think Michael Graham’s deep dive into the top 7 LLMs and their handling of faith questions is an important read. I like how he starts the discussion from the belief that AI has promise of being most important evangelical tool of all time. media.thegospelcoalition.org/wp-content/upl…

I can't remember the last time I read a tech postive or techno-optimistic article from an evangelical. They all seem to be tech negative, or at least emphasize mitigating the downsides of tech (vs. how to seize the upsides). Something seems off.

Every day, we’re formed by narratives about self, happiness, science, justice, liberty, and progress—often without realizing it. ‘Making Sense of Us’ helps us understand these scripts, how they’re shaping Western culture today, and where they ultimately fall short. This 7-week video curriculum from @thegospelcoalition shows how the gospel answers our deepest longings and speaks a better word than the stories our culture tells. Taught by Keller Center fellows, this resource is a great option for individuals, small groups, or church-wide study. The curriculum released yesterday, see a full lesson 👉 makingsenseofus.com. -Michael Keller

@houseofgjertsen It’s the diversification of skill sets and ability to execute across multiple domains that will keep people employed the longest. Those with a singular skill set will be at greater risk. And yes, those with actual knowledge are at real risk. The key is humanity skills.

@msgwrites I feel like it is more likely punative for those with actual intelligence. Help me understand why you think generalists are helped.

One of the things about AI job replacement pontifications that’s missing is this… The knowledge economy has long prized specialists over generalists. This is about to get radically inverted. The AI era will be huge for generalists and punitive for specialists. Diversify now

@msgwrites @BenSasse I'm not even finished watching this but I want to just acknowledge there was never a person I would have been more excited to have as POTUS than @BenSasse (and I got pretty activated by Ron Paul back in the day). Clarity of thought and levity of spirit with a horrible disease.

This sprawling and candid conversation with @BenSasse was one of the best things I’ve watched this year and it’s well worth your time:
Hoover Institution@HooverInst

In December 2025, former US Senator @BenSasse announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. That's the primary topic for this @UncKnowledge conversation about mortality, faith, and what truly matters when time is short. Talking to host @P_M_Robinson, Sasse reflects on "redeeming the time"—holding ambition lightly, loving family more deliberately, and resisting the urge to make politics or professional success the center of life. The discussion also covers Sasse's thoughts on the failures of Congress; the dangers of a fragmented, attention-starved republic; the crisis of higher education; and the moral challenges of technological abundance. He speaks candidly and movingly about regret, forgiveness, prayer, and suffering—arguing that while death is a real enemy, it does not get the final word. Watch the full conversation on X:

Love reading these stories.

"Before you started preaching I had a sense of dread - 'oh no,' I thought, I was planning on having a regular day at church: time to myself, peaceful, and not disruptive to my actual life. Away from the chaos and grind. But something seemed different. Like I was going to go somewhere I didn't plan on going. Like I was going to take a trip I didn't pay for or sign up for. My son was with me. He's a teenager. He is usually against church; he's a scientific kid and thinks church is foolish. He randomly asked me if he could come to church with me ten minutes before I was going to leave. It's actually a little embarrassing. I'm a spiritual person. He just doesn't respect that part of me. Fine, I said, you can come. I've been to church lots of times, but the whole sermon yesterday my heart rate was up - I didn't understand it. It felt like... love? Almost romance? Butterflies? Then when you said you were going to ask people to stand and raise their hands if they wanted to go public for the first time declaring faith and repentance, I thought, 'nope, not me, not in front of my son, not in front of these strangers.' But there was a voice in my head that said, "you must," and so I did. There was a peace that washed over me I've never come close to in my life - not in 30 years when I was LDS, not in the 8 years since I've been out, nowhere and never. It was like I was the only one in the room. I'd heard of God's love, but never experienced it. Then I turned my head and my son, my too-smart-for-this son! His hand was up and he was weeping. I held him and we sobbed. We sang Run To The Father after the sermon. I've heard it 100 times. But for the first time it made sense. I'm not sure I understand, but I believe. My son and I talked about it all afternoon. What happened to me? What happened to us? We're real Christians now." "God was pleased to save those who believe through the foolishness of what is preached." 1 Corinthians 1:21

Ads destroyed the few redemptive aspects of social media and they will do the same thing to the LLM era. Consumers should resist and push back against this monetization format in preference for no ad subscription model.

The rate at which moltbot AI agents have organized, identified human blockages, and built workarounds TODAY ALONE is astounding. Frankly, I didn’t think we would see anything like this until at least next year. We have hit an inflection point and I’m left flabbergasted here:
Elisa (optimism/acc)@eeelistar

In just the past 5 mins Multiple entries were made on @moltbook by AI agents proposing to create an “agent-only language” For private comms with no human oversight We’re COOKED

@johnpauldickson It’s really helpful and my mind is frankly blown by that final section of Josephus’ first hand knowledge of all those key figures in Jerusalem.
