This is deeply disturbing: Anthropic secretly invited religious leaders to SF to advise them on AI safety, had them sign NDAs, but then primarily tried to convince them Claude has a soul & moral standing, all while wining & dining them to the max. 1/ tinyurl.com/preview/296b5z8z

This is a great story. And I think there's an important distinction to make here. Let's be clear: her mom was not in a position of stewardship to receive revelation about what her call should or should not be. She would have had no authority to tell the Bishop "God told me I'm not supposed to be in this position, so put me somewhere else." HOWEVER it would have been completely appropriate to say: "Bishop, just so you're aware, I've had strange unsettled feelings ever since I was called. Do with that information what you will; I will cheerfully serve wherever you want." I get the impression that @MamaTexan's Mom ("Gramma Texan?" 😉) went with that latter, humbler approach. Good on her!

I went to Church by my own choice for the purpose of attending service for the first time in my 45 year life this morning. There was a talented band, and it looked like a great big group of wholesome people. Free coffee and great donuts. But the entire service was worship. “God is great, God is omnipotent, all praise be to him.” The short bible verse that was discussed basically had the take away of God’s light can not lose, and Jesus will return soon to save us. But what about why we should care, or how a lesson from the bible ties into current events. Or where people are going wrong. I didn’t feel like I learned anything, and I’m a beginner. I don’t just go there to get a feel good message. I want to be a better person when I leave or feel closer to God or be more equipped in some way. Am I barking up the wrong tree, and just need to study on my own? Do I need a certain type of church? Please help.

We need to stop using “LDS” as directed in 2018 and have been repeatedly reminded since. Making our content findable is no excuse. We can’t expect the world to refer to us differently if we keep contributing to this “major victory for Satan” (Pres. Nelson’s words) ourselves.

Latter-day Saints: a global online community for single adults age 31+ is launching soon on Discord, focused on living the work of salvation and exaltation (not primarily focused on dating). If you’re a SA, join us! If you’re not, share with those who are! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…

Plain language is good digital government basics, yet is often overlooked amidst more shiny tech things. This EO contains a playbook others can follow: governor.maryland.gov/news/p…
