The clearest proof that the God of the New Testament doesn't exist is that He was unable to formulate the Bible in such a way that it wouldn't get co-opted by people with an agenda that runs contrary to His central message of tolerance and compassion.

Yeah, it just sucks.
They'll just make their own chips with blackjack and hookers.
I've seen people with diabetes unable to quit sugar even though it's killing them, and THAT sounds like hard drugs to me.
There's a form of recency bias at play. We tend to compare recent middling movies with the ones we remember from the past, which tend to be the exceptions. But trust me, there were some very shitty blockbusters in prior decades as well.
Give it a decade or two, and people will remember the '20s as a decade of amazing blockbusters. I mean, heck, we had Barbie and Oppenheimer in theaters at the same time just a few weeks ago. The fact these two movies were released the same weekend is gonna blow people's minds in twenty years.
Ah, yes. Just like Jesus said... "If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn their house into fucking rubble."
"Fellas, is it gay to eat a salad?"
Egypt is really the elephant in the room for the Gaza Strip. It's an open-air prison, sure, but Egypt holds one of the jail cell doors shut on their side.
Major "are we the baddies?" vibes.
Better late than never, I guess.
It also reminds me of crypto. Lots of people made money from it, but the reason why the technology persists has more to do with the perceived potential of it rather than its actual usefulness today.
There are a lot of challenges with AI (or, more accurately, LLMs) that may or may not be inherent to the technology. And if issues cannot be solved, we may end up with a flawed technology that, we are told, is just about to finally mature enough for mainstream use. Just like crypto.
To be fair, though, AI already has some very clear use cases, while crypto is still mostly looking for a problem to fix.
How about you tax billionaires and do both.
