He didn’t invent it. He helped further develop it and popularize it through the printing press.

But I’m really taking about the contemporary implementation of it which Luther would absolutely certainly not approve of.

“I only read the first two paragraphs”.

My mother had a good friend that this happened to. He disappeared for 20 years. They had a funeral. He was found in the 90s. He was gay and living in Memphis. He “disappeared” himself and lived under a pseudonym because he wanted to live his life.

It wasn’t the general defunding of education. It wasn’t the defunding and of arts and music programs. It wasn’t the anti-intellectualism.

It was the cheap computers gosh darnit!

No no…

This is a ancient grape cultivation metaphor. They didn’t have grape farms like we do today, with rows of grapevines strung on wires.

They would grow bushes and let the vines grow up through the branches of the bush. Tthe bushes would hold the vines.

In this metaphor the bush a the church and the branches are the people. (Or individual diocese or parishes depending on the interpretation.) But the bush is the Church. And the vine is Jesus abiding in the bush.

Jesus is the vine. You ain’t Jesus. You gotta be something else in the metaphor.

I would say that specific verse you are citing it’s actually specifically calling people to community in the church. The vine is wrapped around the tree, tangled among the branches. If a branch grows to far away from the main tree that’s holding the vine, that’s when the branch is cut off.

I’m curious. Why are you here? If you think it’s all made up nonsense, why did you feel the need to comment on it in an intentionally insulting way?

Did that make you feel bigger?

Certainly the notion of individualizing Christianity is as old as Christianity itself, but I would argue that the contemporary version of it is really pretty recent. Go back 50 years ago and even most US Baptist churches wouldn’t recognize the contemporary version of it.

The concept that we have today really developed in the 80s and 90s.

Sorry, but we aren’t reading the same Bible.

The phrase ain’t in there. And just about every verse that’s interpreted as such is more easily interpreted to be about the community rather than the individual.

Book, chapter and verse?

Misspelled “kidnapped and forced to fight”.

I know this is going to sound like I’m parroting AI marketing taking points, but I don’t think schools should dump AI. The tool isn’t going away. Schools have to teach how to use it responsibly.

When I say this, I mean there should be AI and technology education for the same reason we should have drug and sex education. Pretending it doesn’t exist isn’t helping anyone. Let’s have some faith in our kids and respect them enough to discuss these issues honestly and openly.

Oh, you see? He was the real victim.

The bubble won’t burst so long as there is more money being printed and companies can just inflate their way out of debt.

Both of those video were clearly choreographed and sped up. Ask yourself, why do they need to fake it? (Because they are all competing for VC investment that they desperately need to continue development.)

Find any one of these companies that released a video with a reporter present and you will see the real capabilities of these robots.

The greatest of these is love.

Yes. Industrial robots are designed and programmed to do exactly one single useful thing very well. These are not industrial robots. The promise of these humanoid robots is that they will one day be generalist robots. That they will be able to do any task a human can do. That’s a very very different engineering problem to solve then current single task industrial robots.

As it stands right now, these robots, even the ones depicted in this video, can do exactly zero useful tasks. The only function they can serve is novelty entertainment. Just like AI slop. And just like AI slop, the novelty will wear off really quick.

I highly doubt they are robust enough to assist with rescue.

Didn’t get me wrong, they are very impressive machines, but at best they are still just engineering experiments.

No, it’s still just AI slop. Even if the robot is physically moving it’s still not doing anything useful. It’s the physical equivalent of a slop picture.
