How to prepare homilies is clearly a religious topic

tomhowtoday at 9:15 AM

This is exactly the type of comment we're trying to avoid on HN.

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes.

Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

Please don't fulminate. Please don't sneer.

Eschew flamebait. Avoid generic tangents. Omit internet tropes.

Please don't use Hacker News for political or ideological battle. It tramples curiosity.

I agree. I personally listen to Sam Altman on these types of matters. He's someone with much more extensive qualifications than the pope!

Edit: it looks like I was wrong about this and Sam Altman has no formal qualifications. I still think he has probably picked up a lot of life experience over the years.

Have you considered that our very consciousness is supernatural?

They could even finally be a source for good if they’d actually use some of the billions they collect.

Has anyone actually directly encountered a single vatican sponsored charity or program in the wild? It seems quite a morally bankrupt organisation to me, and i’m not sure what if anything it really has to do with Christianity or Christians anyore.

I'm not religious in the least bit, but this is a case where I'll take of the words of a guy with significant influence saying we shouldn't let a machine make our minds irrelevant as a win.

> The pope believes in and promotes supernatural woowoo.

Hey, so does Peter Thiel!

The AI bros believe in and promote superficial woowoo. They are cult leaders and con men, not an authority on anything else. I wouldn't take advice from them on anything.
