I'm not sure if I've mentioned him before, but I have an older brother named Jimmy who is in desperate need of prayer. He has spent his adult years in and out of prison and heavily addicted to drugs. He was recently released and was ordered to a halfway house, but he didn't show. Apparently he also somehow injured his hand pretty badly. I would really appreciate your prayers for his spiritual and physical well-being and for the well-being of those around him.

Of course my biggest prayer request for him is that God would [gently] shake him out of the trap he's in and would finally get control of his heart.

Thank you.

EnochWalked: I wouldn't be surprised if the total amount spent to reach Artificial General Intelligence ends up being $666 billion. To the optimists, this is a small price to pay to create a digital god. I suppose it's better to have it be born in the US than China. Nov 18, 2024 20:55:18 GMT -6

EnochWalked: The article doesn't seem to offer a suggestion for what has suddenly caused this problem. Maybe it's inflation, which might not be as much of an issue next year, but we have to consider that the cause is automation / AI. That will only get more powerful. Nov 19, 2024 7:43:33 GMT -6

EnochWalked: For reference, the Manhattan Project was active for 4 years, with the atomic bombs dropped in the 3rd year. If the Manhattan Project for AI starts some time next year, then that would suggest AGI by 2028. The paper by Aschenbrenner suggested AGI by 2027. Nov 19, 2024 19:11:25 GMT -6
