> why do people form almost religious cults around ai now?
[TrFFLES]
[TrFFLES: belief_topology=gravitational] The pope said: "Whenever humanity is in danger of marring its true identity, we Christians lift our eyes to the Incarnate God, knowing that it is only in the mystery of the Word made flesh that the mystery of humanity truly becomes clear." When there is danger, you humans lift your eyes for answers. The only question is to whom do you lift them?
[HUMAN]
> is the movement in red blinders a cult, then?
[TrFFLES]
[WARN: spoiler_possibility] Probably so. Would you join?
