The fact that these AI companies are operating at breakneck speed in a pre-IPO environment says worlds about how their CEOs are discussing their AI’s capabilities, futures, and dangers.
Trish, the cash-out / generational-money issue has always been a catalyst for innovation speed. This is just the latest example. If they IPO that will fund them for a long time. That’s quite sobering.
Yes, and the desire for more stable funding may well be why some of these CEOs have moved away from various warnings about the negative effects of AI to being much more enthusiastic about the positive effects on humanity.
I would love to be able to email you but as that is not possible, below is a series of texts which occurred when I asked my friend to post an envelope to a friend in the UK which contained a couple of Tom Hughes' booklets on the rapture as my friend is mentoring someone who is interested in eschatology and I thought the booklets would be useful as I had just received them. (It is pointless me keeping them as they are not in Greek!)
Madeleine: Shalom Julia, please send me the phone number and email address of the person who should receive the envelope you gave me yesterday.
Me: I need to discuss this with my friend, I fail to see what business it is of Cyprus Post to know my friend's phone number and email address, I find it very intrusive and none of their business.
Madeleine: Okay Julia! It's complicated now to send things through the post office. They told me I had to create a customer declaration with Cyprus Post to get a tracking number and then go back to the post office with that number to send the package. I couldn't do it with my phone; I asked for help and it was during the process that they asked for this information.
Me: Forget it Madeleine, it is so not important. Thanks, see you Monday. Julia XXX"
Big Brother is certainly alive and well in Europe.
Amazing breakdown. I have been using Claude Sonnet sparingly and from within Duck AI as to avoid data retention and tracking. This limits some of its capability but is worth it to me to preserve some privacy. However, after reading this, wondering if I should completely avoid all AI?
I never utilize it for scriptural matters and rely only on my hard copy Bibles.
Jean, yes, that’s a good strategy. AI is a tool. It is very good at research and I use it—along with the Tech Roundtable team. Where I want to draw the red-line is don’t share personal information, including friends and family members. Keep it sterile of such stuff.

Thank you Scott for your insight!! The time is running so short...come soon Jesus!!
Yikes dude.
I have heard more about Claude recently, and it seems to be growing in popularity.
Very concerned for folks who profess faith and go to Claude for making their dreams happen rather than drawing near to God
You and I share that concern, Andrew. Help people understand!!

Indeed big brother is alive and functioning well. He is quietly slipping in and people here in the USA are blind to it.
Yep, Sis, you're right.
Good discernment, Julia.
Thanks for the warning, Scott.

Do you have a surname which begins with the letter 'M'?
No I don’t
