There is so much here but been to point to it not all being this way a lot of writings from NT Wright help reorient to seeking good of neighbor, community, poor, and truly seeking to make the world a better place by serving people in their need not a means to an end.

The more time I spend in these conversations/thinking the more I truly believe most expressions of faith in Christian circles simply have very little to say about hope or good things to devote themselves too that isn't condemning people or the hope of being whisked away to heaven one day.

The circles 'christians' will go in to defend the advantaged man who has not been developed is one of the greatest discouragements to me. As someone who follows the way I give many waking hours to thinking and discussing why mainstream evangelical belief rarely expresses itself in the ways it should

And they are very tricky with the buttons to try and make you install the app.

two additional patterns I want to be illegal

1. the chrome 'login in with' extension that hijacks any windows you are own until you exit it
2. the stupid popup drawer like on reddit where it asks you if you want the mobile app or continue in browser. Like, my friend, I am on the browser...

I'll read it just cause some days I'm like "I don't need serious fiction, there is enough seriousness in life. Give me silly captain underpants"

Also cannot read them now without reading George's voice as Kevin Hart from the Captain Underpants Movie 😂

I recently bought all the Captain Underpants books I had as a kid. Were truly some of the first fun 'books' I remember reading. Dog man is probably better haha

I know it can go both ways but if the individual is caught up trying to check if it is AI or not rather than understanding the quality of what is being delivered that should not be an additional burden on the creator to answer

I guess today I’m thankful using these things are not a part of my normal vocabulary. One could say they are apart from my vocabulary.

Part from me

The expressions make me think something went wrong in santa's workshop or he is going to be delayed.

Aaron: "excuse me?"
Ian: "I know..."

AI is a race to the bottom, in the way most ppl are using it.

To get the most out of it I feel you do have to be really solid in your field. Sure things that are monotonous and should be automated should.

But for craft?

Just all my thoughts. Working through the book.

AI promises mastery. Its deeply deceptive because it does things which otherwise to you feel like magic IF you do not already have mastery over the subject

So then we just chalk it up to AI can do it

Im not arguing against using AI at all but as humans we have a deep need to master a skill

Lastly a community to collaborate on effectively moving to web standards as an industry

The narratives around leaving react, ”standards people” and so on are all done mostly it seems in poor faith, little hope, or lack of belief ”the other side will listen”

Would love to see it reversed
