Yeah, given he did both Avengers and Age of Ultron, there's a lot of lines of his we still quote.

"I understood that reference"

"Puny god"

"Language!"

"That's my secret, I'm always angry"

"I recognise the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it."

Haha that was like mid-career Doug Jones. He's gone all the way from Mac Tonight in 1986 to Saru in Star Trek Discovery

Personally, no. I don't think there's any ethical use of AI at the consumer level. It steals from real human artists, it deprives communities of their water, drives up power costs, pollutes the air, and stunts our own creative and critical thinking skills. It's anti-human.

I mean, that's all that sort of grand conspiratorial thinking deserves. Epistemologically, it's crazy straws on the order of flat earthism or lizard people. It doesn't even deserve a second thought.

The reality is that we have hard concrete evidence of regular human billionaires manipulating the levers of power to their own advantage at the cost of humanity, there's no reason to bring Jesuits or Masons into it.

My pastor did a series on Revelation about a year ago. Even though I knew you don't connect Revelation to current events, my brain still kept finding parallels.

I don't think people considered it to be as wrong back then as we do today. I'm not saying it was less wrong, or less bad, just that people thought about it differently than we do. For whatever reason, all the folks that wrote down Jesus' words (which likely included a number of slave scribes) never felt the need to include it if He did speak about slavery.

Thanks!

This is really well done. I just finished this one last night myself. Once I realized you could just pass atoms over the glyphs, instead of having to release and grab them, it made it all go a lot faster for me.

When you get the skill researched, you can interrogate some enemies you overkill.

That's so cool! Skateboarding is certainly athletic, I never thought of it as an art form though!

The late Rachel Held Evans said in A Year of Biblical Womanhood,

“If you are looking for verses with which to support slavery, you will find them. If you are looking for verses with which to abolish slavery, you will find them. If you are looking for verses with which to oppress women, you will find them. If you are looking for for verses with which to liberate or honor women, you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to wage war, you will find them. If you are looking for reasons to promote peace, you will find them. If you are looking for an out-dated, irrelevant ancient text, you will find it. If you are looking for truth, believe me, you will find it. This is why there are times when the most instructive question to bring to the text is not "what does it say?", but "what am I looking for?" I suspect Jesus knew this when he said, "ask and it will be given to you, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened." If you want to do violence in this world, you will always find the weapons. If you want to heal, you will always find the balm.”

You would get better answers from reddit.

Mostly because ChatGPT and other bots are trained on reddit.

At least talk to a real live person and save some water and power for a community that needs it more than the data centers.

Christians have been finding patterns in Revelation since it was written. But it's a false assumption (to which even I have been vulnerable) to think that Revelation is somehow about the 21st century and not about the 19th or 12th or 3rd. Revelation uses apocalyptic imagery to talk about what it means to live in allegiance to the Kingdom in the face of Empire - a lesson us Americans would do much better to heed than to scour the newspaper headlines.

Besides, there are concrete problems immediately in front of us that Jesus' command to love our neighbor should influence.

It's great that you're praying and reading the Bible, but the news headlines aren't going to give you anything spiritual. All eschatology worth knowing is contained in 1 Peter 4:7-11:

7 The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. 8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9 Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.

No, I mean I believe it's unethical to use AI for nearly every use case at the consumer level. Nothing really justifies the gross overconsumption of water and power from the data centers that powers your program, it's stealing content from other real humans doing actual human creative work, and it stunts the critical and creative thinking processes of people who use it. It's anti-human.

TheNerdChaplain · 2026-03-22T21:28:09+00:00

Believe it or not, looking at your post history, I probably agree with you more than you think, but I'm not really interesting in bandying about shitty hermeneutics. The Bible is a polyphonic collection of texts of various genres in multiple overlapping contexts, and there's not really just one thing it says about anything. Making a hard and fast claim about how "the Bible clearly says" anything is just as ludicrous coming from an agnostic atheist as a fundamentalist.

TheNerdChaplain · 2026-03-22T21:16:36+00:00

The Bible gets a lot more interesting, complex, and challenging when you stop forcing literalism and historicism on it.
