Huge congratulations to Jonas Kurlberg and Alex Chow on editing this massively important book. I was so honoured to be involved and to write the foreword. Looking forward to the launch in Zurich in June

Selling Gaza to Kushner to develop into Dubai on the Med for billionaires to enjoy is absolute evil. It is Palestinian land.

Trump has no idea of international law, does he? It’s like we’re living in the era of empires! Nations stealing land from the poor, the other. No way.

Deep seek promises it’s not spyware…almost…but note it works in China under the same rules as ByteDance. Therefore it prob is a form of spyware. Follow its guidance and don’t give it your data.

DeepSeek is rather good. It can stimulate its reasoning. It knows that it doesn’t understand its own answers. I still fear it sends data to the Chinese government.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

Worth revisiting: Bishop Budde on Trump‘s misuse of religion, 2020 www.nytimes.com/2020/06/04/opinion/…

Let me assure those who might be concerned by my lack of hospitality that the president is always welcome to pray at St. John’s. In fact, we would have loved for him to address from the church our nation’s collective grief, anger and frustration. We would have stood by him had he called for swift justice for the killing of George Floyd. We would have added our voices had he asked for calm and the need to stop opportunistic looting and senseless destruction.
Instead, Mr. Trump used sacred symbols to cloak himself in the mantle of spiritual authority, while espousing positions antithetical to the Bible that he held in his hands. That’s why I drew the line, as did my colleague Archbishop Wilton Gregory when the very next day Mr. and Mrs. Trump made an unannounced visit to the Saint John Paul II National Shrine.
Had the president opened the Bible he was holding, he could have read passages calling on us to love God and our neighbor, to seek God in the face of strangers and even to love our enemies. He could have read exhortations calling us all to the highest standard of love, which is justice. He could have even recited texts that warn faith leaders like me about the sin of hypocrisy. Scripture is clear that God is not impressed by prayers unaccompanied by sustained efforts to create a more loving world. “Let justice roll down like waters,” God says through the prophet Amos, “and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.”

Amazing sermon from the Bishop of Washington - but rather unhinged response from Trump’s supporters. She followed Jesus’ call for compassion and care for all people. In what way is that not God’s word?

Brilliant service this morning. A few people didn’t make it but still 7 confirmands, 18 new members and a busy church with lots staying back for lunch. So delighted with the sense of rich worship and community. And the amazing presence of a God engaged in all our lives. Awesome.

Elon Musk’s Karenesque attacks on Britain re Robinson are quintessential X - that’s all it is now. People thinking their wealth makes the superior to everyone else - morally, politically, religiously. Of course, it’s the very opposite of Jesus’ mode of engagement with the world.

The "Strange Architect" series I'm working on = composed of four short novels: How To Be Free; Nice Is Just Another World for Terrible; Subject 682; and North Star. The basic premise is below and describes mostly How To Be Free, altho major characters show up as minor, vice versa, in the others.

In the 1970s, Architect Arthur Bream dreams of building a utopian community around a ravine, but when his daughter goes missing and he experiences an inexplicable cataclysmic event, everything is lost. Bream never fully recovers, comes to believe his daughter is a ghost trapped in a spirit realm, and spends his remaining years building houses with a mysterious symbol on the stairs, which he believes will eventually bring his daughter back into the land of the living. The novels are an exploration of what Bream experienced, the aftermath, and the terrifying implications. In How To Be Free, the daughter of one of Bream’s partners in the utopian commune idea inherits her father’s house on the edge of the ravine. Soon enough, she begins to encounter inexplicable sightings on the trail cams she sets up in the yard and begins to suspect the neighbors, with rituals like “Halloween in July”, are not quite what they seem. Secret twins, a creature in the ravine that sounds like a crying baby, and a buried stone shed bring Sam closer and close to the center of a mystery that may have killed her father.
