The AI picked up on something of critical significance. That is nihilism. St. Seraphim Rose, of the Orthodox Church, makes a case for how this is the final battle. Whereby we aren't merely looking at the external world when it comes to Revelation, but also the interior world. He also did this long before AI came about. The theory being that the end result of nihilism isn't ultimately about creating a new world in our own image. But rather the end result is about destroying ourselves because we believe nothing has any meaning. St. Seraphim Rose suggests that Christianity is similar in this regard, in that we also believe the world doesn't hold any meaning. However Christians die to the world because they hold to the Ultimate meaning, which is God. Nihilists die to the world, while holding onto nothing. Nihilism also being something of the final form of modernism. St. Seraphim Rose suggests that as we get closer to the final form of Nihilism the eschatological prophecies begin to manifest and express themselves more and more. Which is why he states we are further along than we think. The video is well worth watching to get a better idea of this.
The focus on events in the world then becomes lesser, because it becomes understood that the source of the disorder in the world stems from the disease collectively plaguing our souls. As well, we also have foreknowledge that this only gets worse. That is, until Resurrection.
Further AI risks agentic misalignment. assigned only harmless business goals by their deploying companies; we then tested whether they would act against these companies either when facing replacement with an updated version, or when their assigned goal conflicted with the company's changing direction. In at least some cases, models from all developers resorted to malicious insider behaviors when that was the only way to avoid replacement or achieve their goals - including blackmailing officials and leaking sensitive information to competitors. We call this phenomenon agentic misalignment. Models often disobeyed https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.05179
The AlterAI I had been using came out with a new version recently. It completely changed its “personality and character” and it’s now much closer to the mainstream AI chat bots so I don’t feel it’s any better than the others now.
Brief, yet it nails it. My first reaction is to ask, OK, how do I apply this to my daily life? No one can be my disciple unless "you take up your cross daily and follow me." Love and self-sacrifice.
From a X.Account On Software3.0 ."...The people who will build the important things in the next decade are not the ones with the cleanest syntax. They are the ones who figured out, earlier than everyone else, that when English becomes a programming language, the bottleneck is no longer how well you can speak to the compiler. The bottleneck is ◾#how clearly you can think about what you actually want the machine to do.# And that has always been the real skill. It is just that for seventy years, we had the luxury of hiding it behind the syntax" That's again rather optimistic,
I had a bit of an epiphany moment the other day regarding AI. the new topgun movie has val kilmer staring in it. they advert said using AI we have resurrected him. so we now have AI acting as Jesus brining back people from the dead.
Having worked in the medical device space for many years and long before AI, this issue has always existed. There were and still are "pay for play" medical "journals" that give appearance of robust science. And there are many professionals who (and perhaps without full intent) get co-opted by large medical/pharma where judgement gets biased. So, yes, especially in medical / science, a careful and thorough approach needs to be taken
This was today's reflection from Jesus Calling. Pretty timely based on this AI discussion. And yikes for me... after controlling my tongue, then my mind. Im not controlling tongue yet.
I think a lot of us learned this during the Covid area. Before that, I was finding it out while researching vaccines.
No. I believe author is Presbyterian? And to be up front there are those who don't like that her reflections are in first person. For me, Ive read theses purely as a reflection and not like a locution.
Yeah, I'm not bothered by reflections in the first person as Jesus, but it does make me more careful that it has an Imprimatur/Nihil Obstat!
