A U.S. Air Force general said Thursday the Pentagon’s artificial intelligence ethics are better than adversaries’ because “our society is a Judeo-Christian society.”

          Used to really bug me when I was a believer.

          If you really believed the creator of the universe wrote a book wouldn’t you want to read it?

            Not only that, but if you genuinely believed there was an intelligent designer of the universe, wouldn’t you study both the book and the universe as much as possible?

            Like, the book claims the creator of the universe is light (1 John 1:5).

            In our actual universe, light can be more than one thing at once when it cannot be directly observed, and different separate eventual observers can each observe different results.

            If the universe was intelligently designed and their book is correct in claiming that designer is light, then shouldn’t they conclude that there isn’t one correct answer about what that creator is or isn’t while it cannot be observed? And perhaps recognize that different people might each end up observing different results when they individually leave this world to meet it?

            But no, instead let’s fight wars over who is absolutely right about the designer of a fundamentally relative universe while closing our eyes to any of the actual study of that universe which disagrees with assumptions that financially benefitted the organization built on top of that book.

            Human stupidity knows no bounds.
