I'm a Bible teacher who is pretty interested these days in the moral dimension of technology. In my feed I'll talk a lot about education, technology and scripture, and a little about other things.
I dunno. They have a contract with Grok now right? I bet the math is different.

That's a whole lot of words but the whole problem is Lev 19 is about the governance of Israel. They are laws and referred to as such within the passage. In the narrative at that time, God's laws for the people *are* the civil laws because God is king.

I live in a three stop light kind of town, but felt very comfortable at the mall last spring with my young kids (and by myself on prior trips). Going from mall to the zoo felt a bit more like a big city experience, but l'd take it over all the trips we've made to Chicago. Not even comparable.

Common new tech paradox. Emails are faster than writing a letter and posting it, but the ease means way more emails and you are as likely to work harder as you are to save energy. Add that increase across all tech/taks and its death by 1000 paper cuts. We are multi-tasking ourselves to death.

I haven't read everything, but some are someone else or Webbon's speaking in 3rd person. Lack of an identified author on anything. Saw JD Hall (Webbon's recent co-author) suggested as the main author. Not sure, but Hall said he had a new full time writing gig at a brand new media company starting 26

A pastor having conversations with Fuentes about "World Jewry" & "Understanding Hitler" is on a doomed trip.
That said, I think there's decent reason to believe that the writing side of NXR Studios is someone other than (or at least in addition to) Webbon, though he clearly signs off on it.

I don't "trust" either, but thinking of Grok and Elon I kinda get it in a weird way.
If I were to query Grok for info and ask Elon the same I'd feel more confident in Grok generating correct info. That feeling would lessen or strengthen depending on how much Elon has been fiddling with the dial.

Going to start a study on AI-hallucinated accusations of AI-hallucinated citations. Perhaps we can get some sort of perpetual hallucination loop started.

Do you or anyone you are aware of have a database of sorts that links to or catalogs all the scripture based posts across various handles/platforms? I'm having a harder time keeping up with all of them than I was 6 months ago.

Your institution doesn't have a custom version of Grok you can ask? How quaint.

Is that a generic face or an AI reproduction of Ogles face? Cause it looks kinda like Ogles prompted (Grok?) to make *him* a crusader.

I used a perfectly ethical amount of help for that one. People who used more were basically cheating and the ones who needed less must have been cheating.

There are others but the simple answer is Anbernic. Biggest seller with the most form factor options. $50-70 for the entry level models depending on form factor, sales, location, tariffs of the day, etc.
You *can* go cheaper than that but it gets more complicated of an answer or less reliable.

I like that way of framing it. I've been trying to share that AI detectors don't work and am struggling to make the connection that they will always and forever be "guessing" at pattern recognition. I like the "indifferent to the truth" line. That's a good way to put it.

I got asked to give my phone number on web, but I don't remember it saying anything about being for finding friends. I clicked out pretty quick so I dunno. Might have come later.

Hoo boy I have a hot take. Gaston is a proper turd BUT...from the townspeople's perspective the beast is some nonhuman violent creature of immense power abducting and imprisoning innocent townspeople in inhumane conditions in his basement.
