      If you have a religious chud in your family make sure to pretend to be on their side and say how ai companies are trying to replace preachers with a big TV screen of ai Jesus. Or something like that, regardless they latch on to that kind of stuff and often drag everyone with them in those communities.

      And there are plenty actual examples of stuff like this where the Vatican doesn’t like ai, and weird other stuff about churches making ai Jesus or whatever. Just find a issue that related to them to get under their skin, because they are spiteful you just have to direct it. Two old racists ladies in their 70’s with enough time on facebook groups can spend aaaaalllll day just arguing online on your behalf. Maybe its not about a argument you care about, or maybe the old ladies aren’t very good at it, it doesn’t matter. You made that change in your local community and those people will hopefully be slightly more open to being distrustful of whatever else and vote with us on issues against big tech.

      The religious right are doubling down on trump or becoming so disillusioned that they are primed to believe the next thing they’re told like charlie kirk was a inside job, or whatever else is hot for them right now. That kind of alex Jones stuff is mainstream now and its really popping off. Maga is down hard and many of them are vulnerable and scared due to the war, gas prices, affordability crises whatever. So just start contributing more to that while they are open to the idea before the media catches up and they start pushing Vance. They vote hard with common issues like flock. They’re not your allies just rile them up a little, its their natural state of being its fine for them.

          My family knows I’m not religious and very anti tech/social media. So I just would just say I heard that Sam altman is trying to force his way into the Vatican. If any of them where Catholic I would go on and say how the tech elites refuse to send their kids to school with ai and give them phones, its crazy how they want to take over churches too especially after so many kids kill themselves after using it. It sounds demonic.

          Just plant little seeds under the guise that you care for their church. I mean I do care to a extent, but you don’t have to pretend to be religious, like religion and go to church all the sudden. You don’t have to start inviting your aunt over or message them hi randomly.

        The only issue with this line of reasoning is that voting doesn’t really matter on issues like this. We are getting this if we want it or not, convincing us is merely a P.R. excersize.

      Is it though? I feel like religious chuds already are OK with AI in general. Wasn’t there even a church that did some weird AI Charlie Kirk speech after he got shot?

    Religion doesn’t even make humans morally good I have no idea why anyone would think it could make a machine morally good

    All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices and opinions, are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.

    “What I think ChatGPT should do is reflect that weighted average, or whatever, of humanity’s moral view,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said last year.

    Spoken with the clarity and eloquence of a true visionary.
