Hanging out with sex workers is the Christian way.
And visiting prisoners.
And looking after the poor.
And visiting people who are ill.
And taking distressed strangers into your house.
All of this is the Jesus way according to the scriptures.
So I'm dubious when Christians are against these.

I don't use any generative AI. A statistical word-string vending machine offers me nothing useful creatively and nothing trustworthy as research. The environmental impact is appalling and these companies stole copyright intellectual property knowing that's illegal. GenAI is dishonest at every level.

![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Birthday today! Not going to say which one, but if arithmetic can be trusted, I should be getting the keys to three doors.
(Also, I can rewrite the opening of a certain Beatles song:
"When I get older, losing more hair,
One more year from now....")

I was going to do "add one letter, ruin a superhero", but I found that, in many ways, you can add a letter to *improve* them.

My mother had Alzheimer's. I've seen, up close and personal, the fear and distress that came from not being able to trust her own memories, the paranoia that came from knowing *something* was wrong, but not being able to remember what.
Using "AI" to make up fake memories - well, it's abusive.
Using "AI" to make up fake memories - well, it's abusive.
Brainwashing your family members and destroying what connections they still hold about their real memories is deeply sick.
There is a deep fear and anxiety when you can't trust your memories and mind and this will only accelerate it.

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

Just let people go for a piss, for Christ’s sake. Do you have any idea how insane it looks to have a cadre of mean-as-fuck official toilet monitors as your national equalities regulator.

Hmph. Back in the good old days, we would call someone like this a "deluded ignoramus". Now we have to say "vaccine skeptic". It's political correctness gone mad I tell you.
Evelyn Griffin serves on a national vaccine advisory panel that is making landmark changes to longstanding public health practices under health secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., who has campaigned against vaccines. She has worked on maternal mortality, a major issue in Louisiana.
Gov. Jeff Landry appoints vaccine skeptic as new Louisiana surgeon general

Am watching "The Mummy", starring Tom Cruise as Lara Croft.
Lots of shrivelled zombies collapse into dust if you give them a single punch. I think it's a metaphor for the script.
Pros: Sofia Boutella is easier on the eyes than Boris Karloff. And the desert scenes brought back fond memories...
