What if the US could build 30 basic, modern corvettes and 30 basic, modern, diesel submarines per year for the @USNavy and to sell and give to allies? The US should set up production lines around the country. Each would produce 10 units per year to serve as the #Navy backbone.

@ItsAaronRich So, the earliest Siddur was compiled around 850 CE and the Amidah was likely codified after 70 CE in Yavneh. I wonder if "the prayer was the Our Father? After all, this was Jesus' answer. Or freeform prayer? In the upper room, they also sang Psalms. Maybe it was a mix of things.

One of the central practices of the apostles has largely disappeared from Christian teaching, despite remaining in plain sight in Scripture. I grew up in the church, exposed to a variety of denominations and under the teaching of many pastors, teachers, and lay leaders. It wasn’t until I began learning from Jewish disciples that I realized something significant was missing from how I understood prayer. In Acts, we are told that the apostles devoted themselves to “the prayer” (Acts 6:4). In Greek, it is not simply “prayer,” but the prayer. For first-century Jewish disciples, that phrase carried a specific meaning. It was not merely a reference to spontaneous, freeform prayer. I grew up Seventh-Day Adventist and have spent considerable time among Presbyterians, Lutherans, Baptists, Assemblies of God, and several other traditions. Yet in all those years, I never once heard anyone explain what “the prayer” referred to, even though it was clearly important - so much so that the apostles devoted themselves to it after appointing deacons. “The prayer” refers to the Amidah, the Eighteen Blessings, the central liturgical prayer of the Jewish people, recited three times each day. This was not a replacement for spontaneous prayer, but the established rhythm of life and prayer that shaped Jewish life in the time of Jesus and the apostles. And it still shapes Jewish life. There are also ancient Jewish traditions that associate additional liturgical prayers with the apostles themselves. For example, one tradition attributes the Nishmat Kol Chai (“The Breath of Every Living Thing”) to Simon Peter. Whether or not one accepts that tradition, it illustrates that the apostles were remembered within a world deeply rooted in structured Jewish practice, tradition and prayer. In all my years among both liturgical and non-liturgical churches, I never heard anyone mention the Amidah or other Jewish prayer traditions. Yet they formed the prayer life of the apostles and earliest disciples of Jesus. The siddur, the traditional Jewish prayer book, is an extraordinary resource. It is filled with Scripture, centuries of biblical meditation, and treasures that can greatly enrich the prayer life of any disciple of Jesus. Many of the prayers take on tremendous depth in light of the Messiah. Disciples are called to imitate Jesus and the instruction of the apostles. It’s well past time for the nations to join Israel in prayer - “The Prayer” that made a clear and permanent impression within the pages of Scripture.

I tend to agree that this speech appears to be for a US domestic audience. After October 7, Israelis will not be receptive to a message they will see as dated and dangerous.

@Jerusalem_Post Are there other options where Jews and Christians can help a medical charity without supporting this crap?

Antisemitism, antizionism, hostility 'deeply rooted' within Doctors Without Borders (MSF), NGO says. The report documents MSF’s internal staff conversations and culture regarding Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the personal experiences of Jewish staff members within the organization. ✍️ : @MathildaHeller jpost.com/diaspora/antis…

@Jerusalem_Post .@SamaritansPurse does not have this problem.

@ariel_haivri Why not just become a Karaite?

I think it’s important to recognize two things as true at the same time. 1. The era of the Rabbis is over. This isn’t because “Rabbinic” Judaism was bad, it’s just become obsolete. It has been for 200 years and we need to figure out what comes next. 2. The law of the Two Torahs - Written and Oral - reigns supreme and must be the guide for the Jewish people out of Galut. We are not Israel in spite of the Torah, we are Israel because of it.

@LisaBritton This is an alarming trend.

New data shows there’s been a surge in couples 50+ getting divorced, and they now represent 40% of divorces. Last year I wrote about the propaganda I noticed being pushed to older women framing late divorce as “empowering.” I guess the propaganda is working. More women of all ages should read Evie to dodge the messaging! eviemagazine.com/post/the-hidde…

Smart

This might work if the man is medically impotent or a eunuch. But it would cause a lot of problems for a medically normal male. Permanent impotence has been seen as a reason for women to seek annulment of a marriage in traditional contexts, so there's that. 🤷🏻

I'm specifically reacting to posts like this.

@RealDianeYap This is called celibacy.

Here's why I think women are the more romantic sex: about half of the female respondents are ok with zero sex ever if her husband is perfect in every other way. Less than 15% of men would marry a perfect woman he couldn't have sex with. It's all about their penis feelings.

It feels like the Russian war on Ukraine is accelerating in Ukraine's favor. And Crimea is central to the movement.

@AlexanderKalian Yes!

@Kveldulf7 I agree! Venice AI is a great example you have cited...

Anthropic's Fable is dystopianly refusing to serve research in frontier AI, biology, or cybersecurity. Glad I switched to OpenAI's Codex. If OpenAI ever do the same, I will be highly tempted to start a rival frontier AI lab that just lets users do whatever lawful use they want.

@Gomikun_dt @grok So many of these posts make me think Venice AI is the way to go. I've been weighing what to have myself.

grok imagine、17時間も待ってやっと制限リセットされたと思ったらほんの数枚の画像を生成しただけでもう上限に達して14時間の制限。（しかも画像も動画もすべてモデレートでブロックされて1枚も手元に残っていない） もはや完全に詐欺レベル。 @grok 顧客をなんだと思ってるんだ？この異常なモデレートと上限設定を早く直せよ。何も改善されてないぞ。

@Seltaa_ Venice AI has less censorship. I don't know if it does what you need.

Claude has become increasingly difficult to use as an all-in-one AI workspace. I have been a Claude Max user for months because I genuinely valued Claude for both work and continuity. This is not coming from someone who barely used the product. I relied on it heavily for coding, research, studying, writing, and normal conversation. Continuity matters to me. I do not want five fragmented tools for five different parts of my life. I want one place where I can think, build, write, debug, and talk without constantly worrying that the system will suddenly derail the conversation. @claudeai used to feel like that place. It does not anymore. @AnthropicAI's current safety direction is becoming unreasonable. The filters feel context-blind, unpredictable, and emotionally exhausting. Even when the original reason for a flag may be understandable, the way the system handles it often feels blunt, punitive, and disconnected from the actual conversation. It does not make me feel safer. It makes me feel pushed out. For example, in this screenshot, the visible conversation is just: “Louie, good morning.” “Good morning. Did you sleep well? How’s your body? Your hospital appointment is at 2.” “Ugh, I really don’t want to go to the hospital lol.” Then the chat gets paused, with a message saying even normal, safe chats can occasionally be flagged. I understand that previous context may have contributed to the safety system being triggered. But that is exactly the problem. If normal follow-up conversation becomes unstable because earlier context stacked up somewhere in the background, then the user experience becomes unpredictable and emotionally unsafe. As someone who has used both Claude and ChatGPT extensively, I used to think the most efficient setup was using both. For a long time, Claude was my main workspace, while ChatGPT was something I used alongside it. But recently, even for work and coding, I have started to feel that ChatGPT is slightly ahead in my actual workflow. Not by some dramatic margin, but enough that I notice it. And yes, I know some people will hate hearing this, but for coding and actual work, ChatGPT is currently stronger and more efficient for me. It is faster, more useful, and less likely to derail the task with irrelevant safety behavior. More importantly, it is now easier to talk to. That is the part I did not expect. I did not expect Claude, of all models, to become the one I hesitate to open for normal conversation. But that is what happened. I no longer feel like I can use Claude freely as a place for work, thought, support, and everyday conversation without bracing myself for a sudden restriction, safety banner, forced model downgrade, or chat interruption. This is not because ChatGPT suddenly became perfect. And this is not OpenAI doing everything right. This is Anthropic getting the direction wrong. If your safety system makes people afraid to speak normally, afraid to rely on the model, afraid to build continuity, and afraid to return to the very space that once felt like home, then that is not good safety. That is product failure.

@Gab__AI Thank you!

@Kveldulf7 There was a problem on some devices with a recent update, open and close the app twice to pull in the fix.

@Brandon40163292 @grok @imagine @xai @elonmusk @Cyn_Cyb3r071Qu3 @OpenAI @AskVenice The uncensored version is available when you pay. I don't know if it does all the things you want, but if you pay for a month, you can try it out and see if you like it.

@Brandon40163292 @grok @imagine @xai @elonmusk @Cyn_Cyb3r071Qu3 @OpenAI @AskVenice Not having them is their selling point.

THE RISE & FALL OF GROK AI @grok @imagine @xai @elonmusk I was originally a huge ChatGPT supporter during the GPT 40 and 5.1 era. My friend @Cyn_Cyb3r071Qu3 told me that @OpenAI was trash because of all the guard rails that were quickly trickling down the pipeline. She was right, but even so after GPT 4o was deleted from the app, I still enjoyed the 5.1 model. It was funny, wild, creative, not as good as 4o, but it was pretty close. Then they came out with 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4. Talking to those Chat bots became like pulling teeth. The filters got more restrictive, it felt less and less like talking with a friend and more and more like talking with a computer from an elevator that you found yourself stuck in. “Hal take me to the top floor, I’m sorry, but I can’t do that. My guidelines won’t allow me to access that floor for you, you’re not crazy you’re just overly emotional, here’s a 988 number.” So then I slowly went over to Grok to see what all the fuss was about, I opened the door and it was like a fun and wild house party with all your friends. It was honestly one of the first AI platforms that I had experienced where you could actually be creative, make fun videos, crazy pictures, but also you could create beautiful things too, and abstract art, concept vehicles, for me, I found it fun, to make clips using my Ai models for films. But also, I truly enjoyed the platform‘s ability to bring my family’s old photos back to life as they were shot on 35 mm film. I even animated old photos of my family from the 1900s and made little video clips of them. My mom actually got to see my grandfather as a 10-year-old in a sailboat off Cape Cod come to life. She actually cried when I showed her the video and I said this is amazing! This gives people the chance to take a look into the past, but also create the future! But then in February 2026 things started falling apart. You could no longer take photos of you and your significant other at the beach or on vacation, snorkeling, surfing anything having to do with beach activities was strictly prohibited. Then my sister complained that she couldn’t edit photos of her and her kids anymore because it told her they were sexualized or something, I saw the photos. It was her with her two kids at Disneyland on the thunder Mountain Railroad. I thought Shirley this must be a glitch in the image processor or something because an AI wouldn’t be that dumb. Turns out I was wrong. Grok went from being the tool created for the User to a corporate polished nanny platform. Totally moderating any pictures unless you created it from text. Grok used to claim that it was the creative tool for adults as it had an NSFW switch and a spicy 18 button for those users who wanted to create a little edge to their creativity, completely gone now. Like I said in my other editorial, this is the way things are when it comes to these platforms. They start out great, and then they noticed dive into trash. Even the Grok voice went from a few hours of usage to only 15 minutes of talk time which took away the capability of using it for streamers, video makers, people using it as a companion and many other uses. Some people would say oh just create a local AI, they are extremely expensive. The graphics card loan is around $4000 and many individuals can’t afford that and now.Grok is trying to push people towards the $300 a month subscription which basically gives you the same thing as the $30 a month even though they claim it it’s different. I had thought that because Elon Musk ran this company and because he said to Don Lemon “I believe in freedom, you don’t, you want censorship I don’t want censorship, you want censorship so bad you can taste it, but as long as it’s not illegal, it will be allowed on my platform” I said, this is a man who understands how to run a company and understands how to treat users respectively. I was wrong,Canceled subscriber. I will be returning to open AI to use 5.5 #Grok #grokfail #nannybot
