This is the Good News that Christians love to proclaim: Jesus, the Son of God Incarnate, has lived, died, and risen again to reign so that if you repent and believe in him he will bring you back to God.

This is the strongest piece of evidence yet that AI isn't going to take all our jobs.
OpenAI@OpenAI
In the coming weeks, we plan to start testing ads in ChatGPT free and Go tiers. We’re sharing our principles early on how we’ll approach ads–guided by putting user trust and transparency first as we work to make AI accessible to everyone. What matters most: - Responses in ChatGPT will not be influenced by ads. - Ads are always separate and clearly labeled. - Your conversations are private from advertisers. - Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise tiers will not have ads.

We are starting to test ads in ChatGPT free and Go (new $8/month option) tiers. Here are our principles. Most importantly, we will not accept money to influence the answer ChatGPT gives you, and we keep your conversations private from advertisers. It is clear to us that a lot of people want to use a lot of AI and don't want to pay, so we are are hopeful a business model like this can work. (An example of ads I like are on Instagram, where I've found stuff I like that I otherwise never would have. We will try to make ads ever more useful to users.)

Reading is like executing the bytecode of someone else's thought on a VM in your mind
If your interpreter mis-matches their compiler, you'll misunderstand
If you don't sandbox their code, you'll be vulnerable to it
But if you don't run it at all, you won't know what it does

When I "speed read" I lose some of the dynamic range of the text
I lose some of the humanity of it
I retain it less vividly
I find myself critically engaging with it less or more shallowly
For me the trade of more speed is not worth the loss of depth
English
It's part of what helps me hear the tone of what I'm reading, helps me "personify" the text as coming from a person and not being a simple text object
English
I have a contrarian perspective on this
I think that the voice that speaks what you're reading aloud is (for some people, not everyone) really important to the process of what "reading" is, and silencing it changes what you're doing mentally when you read

Good Metaphysics aids good Anthropology. Bad Metaphysics makes good Anthropology difficult or impossible.

@Duderichy @PstafarianPrice Mainstream media is a death cult.
The highs are higher for parents, and the lows are lower, and that survey is absolutely fake news.
Your life is harder with kids, but you won’t have to wonder what you’re living for when the gut feel is obvious.

@eigenrobot Was surprised to hear him compare Mexico's diplomats favorably vs the US's, even seeming to suggest Mexico's might be better
I don't know how to evaluate such a claim or what "better" means in practical terms
But it sounded like he intended to pay a very high compliment
English
2. guest (i think a mexico expert by background) is especially impressed by mexico's diplomatic corps, which apparently is extremely effective
this (combined with [1]) seems rather bad

@eigenrobot On 5 i think you’re off the mark. I’d listen to Rubio over Trump to understand the doctrine more fully. And this podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/2Gj9zx…

It is precisely because capitalism works that we must defend ourselves. Success always breeds resentment.

Sometimes God stands on both sides of a thing, and it is a mere artifact of our finiteness and limitation that we perceive a contradiction in that, where from his view there is none

Probably the MOST succinct expression of the gospel is a single word:
Jesus
(direct translation: "He (God) Saves")
Behind that, you can do it in three:
God Saves Sinners
I like this three-word version because it's Trinity-shaped:
English
So: assertions of equality, of similarity or dissimilarity, of abstract set membership, of conceptual integrity or disintegrity, are always (when done by or for the benefit of human beings) *subjective,* requiring interpretation in keeping with the proper frame to obtain.
English
I'm confident of this because, even if we supposed that a human could view anything from an Absolute standpoint, he would necessarily see what's visible through absolute view via his own perception and cognition, at his own point in time, through his own linguistic constructs.
English
Every assertion of equality or inequality, similarity or dissimilarity, implies (first order implication) a conceptual frame within which that assertion holds; the existence of which frame then implies (second order implication) a universe beyond it where the assertion may fail.
