Re: Air Canada found liable for what it's AI Chatbot does
I can understand why the manufacturer of AI might want to steer away from such topics. First, why antagonize the vegetarians and vegans unnecessarily. For what gain? Second, the heart is desperately wicked, how long before someone sick person learns how to bend the prompt into butchering humans. I ...

Re: Poll: Faith Traditions that Profess Christianity
Also did we upgrade the forum software? I thought we used to be limited to ten poll options.

Re: Poll: Faith Traditions that Profess Christianity
I assume non-plain conservative means evangelical but not wearing skirts, head coverings, or holding to nonresistance. Conservative as in being against abortion, women preachers, homosexuality, and other things that conservative Evangelicals care about. And yes, the ladies typically don't wear skir...

Re: Air Canada found liable for what it's AI Chatbot does
Hurray, another fad running wild among the corporate class. The obvious thing to do is simply invest all the work into designing your site well so your actual policies are easy to find. A couple years ago the fad was gatekeeping all support behind chatbots and now it’s AI chatbots. I really can’t se...

Re: Can Anabaptism be Catholic and vice versa?
Interesting. I was always taught sanctified meant "set apart". I think it's odd that then an "unbeliever" would be considered Holy, according to that use of the word but my translation uses sanctification for the unbelieving spouse, and Holy for the children. Holly would also me...

Re: What if the Anabaptist Movement...
What if Münster held out? Would there be all kinds of things named after it today like Geneva? Would there be a Van Leyden College? Would the sorts of people attracted to radical new ideas have gone with Münster instead—everybody likes a winner—and left the other Anabaptist groups like the nascent ...

Re: Catholicism vs. Evangelicalism in Brazil
I was surprised to read that Protestantism may have “officially” overtaken Catholicism in Brazil. I knew Protestantism and Pentecostalism was strong across Latin America and growing stronger but Catholicism is the cultural incumbent so a lot of people would be officially counted Catholic by default ...

Re: Do Plain Catholics exist?
It probably would have been better to have split the thread starting with Josh’s post quoting Max. I suppose whichever mood split the thread thought it would be clearer that way without too much thought. If Max doesn’t want to be the first post in this thread the solution would be to move his post b...

Re: Can anything good come out of the internet?
One thing that could be a good thing, yet I see a down side as well, is helpful YouTube videos. Gone are the days of having to get a manual and read it. Computer stuff, cooking, working on cars, guns, household appliances, etc. Search for it and someone has a vid on it. Today I did some panel rewir...
