In this is love...

In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. -1 John 4:10

It is not that we keep His commandments first, and that then He loves; but that He loves us, and then we keep His commandments. This is that grace, which is revealed to the humble, but hidden from the proud.  -Augustine Image

I've always been early to adopt AI tools. But the last few months have shocked me. These new AI models aren't incremental improvements. This is a different thing entirely.
   And here's why this matters to you, even if you don't work in tech.
   The AI labs made a deliberate choice. They focused on making AI great at writing code first... because building AI requires a lot of code. If AI can write that code, it can help build the next version of itself. A smarter version, which writes better code, which builds an even smarter version. Making AI great at coding was the strategy that unlocks everything else. That's why they did it first. My job started changing before yours not because they were targeting software engineers... it was just a side effect of where they chose to aim first.
   They've now done it. And they're moving on to everything else.
   The experience that tech workers have had over the past year, of watching AI go from "helpful tool" to "does my job better than I do", is the experience everyone else is about to have. Law, finance, medicine, accounting, consulting, writing, design, analysis, customer service. Not in ten years. The people building these systems say one to five years. Some say less. And given what I've seen in just the last couple of months, I think "less" is more likely. Image

UK's Insane New Trans Guidance Says School Kids As Young As Four Can 'Change Gender'   According to reports in The Times, the guidelines state that parents should be involved in the “vast majority” of cases where a child questions their gender, and schools should not initiate steps towards social transitioning.
   However, the move has sparked outrage, with critics arguing it undermines parental rights and exposes vulnerable children to harmful ideologies.

UK: When did child sex abuse become a petty crime?   OF ALL the indicators of a civilisation in rapid decline, the most disturbing is the attempt to normalise the sexual abuse of children.
   Recent court cases in the United Kingdom have proved that the judiciary regards paedophilia as a petty crime.

“Anecdotally, oestrogen appears to lead to severe mental disorders in some men, with some needing admission to a psychiatric ward for treatment. We know that there are oestrogen receptors in critical parts of the brain that affect behaviour and mood, and that oestrogen is produced in the brain of both men and women.
   “We also know that oestrogen has different effects in the male and female brains, sometimes opposing. Studies on male animals where oestrogen is blocked demonstrate that low oestrogen is associated with less aggression. Whether the reverse is true is unclear. What is very clear is that cross-sex hormones in adults lead to worse health outcomes, as well as in children.”

Canada: Liberals return to pushing Bill C-9, which could criminalize quoting Bible on homosexuality   The Liberals ultimately backed off on limiting debate on Bill C-9 to two hours but still intend to prioritize the attack on religious liberty over other justice legislation. It appears that the Liberals want to get the fractious issue of Bill C-9 out of the way in hopes that the ongoing public backlash will quiet down, perhaps in advance of a federal election later this year.

The fact is that college graduates with substandard communication skills will find themselves handicapped in the job market, regardless of their race or ethnicity. So says Ian Siegel, CEO of ZipRecruiter, which uses artificial intelligence to match employers with job applicants. Siegel forewarns applicants that “spelling and grammatical mistakes are among the top reasons a job applicant’s résumé lands in the trash.”
