Progressives are good at sound bytes but apparently not logic. Every immigrant to a country is by definition an emigrant from another country. So in which country would Jesus go around telling people to GTHO and go somewhere else? Doesn't sound nearly as pious, does it?
What would Jesus do? Welcome immigrants. Feed the hungry. Care for the sick. Bless the peacemakers. Challenge the rich.

Europe has lost its mind
My English-speaking friends, I need you! The justice system in my country, France, would rather send me to prison than deal with the immigrant men who are assaulting us. Please help spread this video, the world needs to know what they’re doing to French patriots! (@elonmusk ?)

I am truly sick of Anthropic's disingenuous sci-fi marketing. The good thing is that they are desperate and probably will not last.

This is desperate marketing for a failing venture, don't fall for it. Anthropic has been making embarrassing and absurd claims they could never defend among specialists to try and prop up their unprofitable business.
Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: darioamodei.com/post/policy-…

A good question
“Do not travel to Sudan. It’s too dangerous.” — UK Government “Why are we issuing visas to people from Sudan then?” — Shut up, racist!

Instantly recognizing the peculiar and persistent pain/itch in between the toes as a fire ant bite while the locusts hum is one of the most Texan experiences you can have.

When will the UK wake up?

Probabilistic models can only ever approximate full human reasoning.
My take: since 2023 startups have taken a limited, error-ridden technology - AI large language models - & fastened it onto a 60-year-old myth/dream in AI research: superintelligence. LLMs are the wrong tech for this, but these startups sold the myth & trapped investors.

Some don't get that $ not a final end but only valuable as a means. If you already have what you need to be happy, why sell? Many people do understand but insist they should take $ anyway and buy a new farm. They don't grasp the significance of the bond to that particular land.
A Kentucky family has declined a $26 million offer to sell their farmland for an AI data center. “If it’s my way, I’ll stay and hold and feed a nation. $26 million doesn’t mean anything.”

This ignores the very process by which the creeds were formed: the heresy came first, was recognized, then we get a council making it clear so others do not fall into the same error in the future.
The label “heretic” gets thrown around way too easily these days. If you profess the Nicene Creed & the Apostles’ Creed, you count as a legitimate Christian. Period. Christians will always disagree about important political & social issues and matters of doctrine. But at the end of the day, if someone affirms the essential truths outlined in the creeds, they are not heretics or apostates. 🎙️Holy Post 670 with @philvischer, @skyejethani & @kaitlynschiess
