    IF Ai & droids grow exponentially & cause a post-scarcity world - what are YOU going to do all day?

    Hi - this is a long post. I'd love you to read it with an open mind - and try to out-dream me on what the consequences might be - both good and bad. Just accept the premise (for now) - and help me "Black Mirror" / "Red Team" this thing! We're going to cover Ai, cosplay as lifestyle in a Hobbiton...

    The Plans of God for Us

    The following was a specific promise given by God to a specific people at a particular time in history under very distinct circumstances which are not relevant to us today. The people of God were under the judgment of God for a period of 70 years. So, the Lord was giving them specific...

    Speculation Leads Nowhere (James & Proverbs)

    Hello folks. Today's study is highly relevant in the modern era where news and social media discuss events that have not even happened yet, speculating on outcomes of wars, and on political events on both sides of the aisle. Date June 14, 2024 | Speculation Leads Nowhere Verse James...

    Using AI to write a fictional news article

    Man, I love AI, when it is used for wholesome stuff. Here is an example of Mistral 7B (a free, open-weights AI run privately and locally on my laptop, though it burns through my battery, as artificial intelligence is electricity intensive) writing a fictional news article. Not sure if this...

    Australians, unite! (Republican debate)

    Hello and G'day, All you wonderful Australians encourage me to keep going - I really appreciate your spirit and hope. But we have to start a conversation: how long are we going to secede to a foreign nation? Our culture is ours, it should not be someone else's, but by choice? I'm talking...

    Future of shopping? Cashierless supermarket in Tokyo

    "A new supermarket has opened in Tokyo that takes grab-and-go shopping to the next level. The store uses technology to do away with checkouts and the long lines that can come with them. Major retailer Daiei and IT firm NTT Data launched what they call a 'walk through' store inside an NTT Data...

    God is able: to warn us - of which Evolution, was next!

    Hi there, So this is where I stand! I have finally grasped, what my trust in God, specifically is: This is a lifelong thing, the Devil has no such power. It doesn't need a lot of discussion, I basically came to an agreement within myself, that I was going to stop trying to develop a greater...

    A interesting change from all the Covid doomsday stuff

    After Covid, get ready for the Great Acceleration | The Spectator I found a lot of things in this article very interesting. While some of the opinion might be a bit over the top (I'm not really convinced about Bitcoin personally), it's a welcome change from the usual doomsday stuff we're fed...

    How to avert negative futures?

    We all have the remarkable ability of imagination. We can picture the future, bleak & grim. We can also picture it cheery & beautiful. With varying levels of accuracy, we can say which way it will be, depending on what exactly we're talking about. Let's take an example: Politics! Is the...

    A telling "Ngram": fight, future, tradition, God

    Hi there, So yes it is interesting to see how words clash, over the centuries - sometimes it is very interesting. I couldn't wait to show you this one: "fight, future, tradition, God". The fight is clearly with God and it is our tradition not our future, that holds us back. Whereas God...

    Are you concerned with Biden/ Harris being our Leaders?

    Just wondering. For those of you who are ok with Biden and Harris being our Leaders. Why do you have no problems with them? Do you have any concerns about them at all? And what were your issues with Trump besides I imagine his personality? Do you not like any things he accomplished at...

    Trump post-Trump

    On the 20th of January 2021 Donald J Trump will no longer be the President of the United States. There is a view among many Trump followers (and some worried Democrats) that Trump will continue to be a strong political force, as a public figure with a significant and active following, after...

    When to start looking for a spouse?

    Dear brothers and sisters, Thank you for your community and shared brotherhood in Christ! Social media tends to be so sin-saturated; it's refreshing and comforting to find Christian community during COVID online. Lately I've been having trouble with temptation to lust. Fortunately, there are...

    Best states in the US for young Christian family?

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum, but I'd try my hand at asking here anyway. My husband and I are currently in the state of California and long story short, we want out. California is going downhill fast and we're aware of similar situations occurring in the state of Oregon and...

    Depression: Breaking the Cycle?

    Hello All, My struggle is fear. I want to live a decent life, but I am terrified of the future. I sometimes wonder why God had me born in times like these. Furthermore, I have parents and an autistic brother who are not in the best financial position. I feel certain I will need to help them...

    It is possible to adapt to your environment, in a way that returns with the next generation

    Hi there, So yes, I have finally busted the whole stranglehold that Evolution has put on our sense of inheritance. For almost a couple centuries (since Darwin), we have had the idea that inheritance is something that only operates within the originating generation (the father passes "evolution"...

    Pastor's Family, Etc.

    Hello All, Please pray for my pastor's son - and the whole family. His son is having surgery Wednesday. Please pray he will have a quick recovery, and that God will provide financially for his surgery. My pastor and his family have done so much for the church, and I hate to see them facing...

    God's Plans for Us

    Within the church today, at least here in America, we have people who are preaching “feel good” messages to the people, telling them that they can “believe” in Jesus, that nothing is required of them, and that heaven is guaranteed them when they die, and that nothing bad will happen to them, and...
