Regardless of what your beliefs are, our society is a Judeo-Christian society and we have a moral compass. Not everybody does, and there are those that are willing to go for the ends regardless of what means have to be employed
“Our AI praises Jesus, so we know it’s a good guy, because as you know, all American Christians are good people and there definitely isn’t an undercurrent of racism in our religion or praising false idols who fit every description of the Antichrist.”
“Seriously, you know you can trust us because we believe in God and Jesus and that means we’re Good People.”
I just woke up and now I need a fucking drink this is so god damned stupid.
The judeo-Christian morals of incest, slavery, and beating your wife and kids.
That’s got to be it.
You forgot beating your own slaves. But not too hard. If you kill them it’s essentially destruction of property and a bad thing.
Oh sure. Also, having been righteously beaten to death, your slaves can’t serve you, as commanded by the judeo-Christian God.
This is such a brain dead take. All well adjusted humans have a basic set of morals. It allows our species to collaborate and empathize. “Judeo-Christian” is an alt right buzzword to try and jam religion where it doesn’t belong.
You can grow up Hindu and have good morals. You can grow up Muslim and have good morals.
No religion has a fucking monopoly on ethics and morality.
It’s also just plain wrong. The ultimate code of morals and ethics for Judeo-Christians are the 10 commandments. How many of those have the military broken?
This is such a brain dead take.
But like…imagine if atheists, the godless heathens they are, with a moral compass centered around baseless, fanciful ideologies like humanism ran the country! The place would be a shithole where human life was valued because it was a human life and not because we
created god in our imagewere created in the image of god. Blech!South Park has a great take on this.
The judeo-Christian morals of incest, slavery, and beating your wife and kids.
That’s got to be it.
Lately, we’ve been seeing how just and fair and compassionate “Judeo-Christian society” has been. You know, chucking kids into the Rio Grande, denying water breaks for migrants in 100+ degree heat, etc. If that’s what’s supposed to keep America from abusing AI, the rest of the world is doomed.
For the last 20-30 years, the AF Academy has been co-opted by a religious cult called the Dominionists.
They basically believe in a religious theocracy with themselves in power.
It’s also almost impossible to make General without being an Academy grad. Partially because officers who make General have to be set up for that career path as Lieutenants.
The MRFF was actually created explicitly to fight against dominionism and similar creeds. The Republicans of the House slipped an amendment into the upcoming Defense budget that bans military members from speaking to anyone associated with the MRFF.
I genuinely dont understand how there isnt more outrage over our airforce being taken over by religious fanatics that only allow other religious fanatics (or those that are good at lying about being religious fanatics) to advance.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s because of the acceptance of Christianity in general as being the norm in the US.
Most Christians, to this day, are very reticent to admit that a large number of Christians are 1. authoritarian 2. racist and 3. generally not good people.
This is because they’ve been using “Christianity” as shorthand for “good person” for decades instead of choosing to decide if someone is good based on their actions. They have a really hard time accepting criticism of their religion, even if it’s totally valid. Even if they themselves could be classified as “good Christians.”
From personal experience, my mother is one of these. She is not racist, she raised me with focus on the importance of learning and science, she has never judged me for becoming an atheist. However, she has a really hard time facing criticism about other Christians who are obviously deeply evil fucking people.
A lot of Christians got way too comfortable using it as a shorthand for figuring out who to trust in life, and have a “sunk cost” situation with that, and have a hard time letting go of the idea that Christian == Good.
Please don’t tell me that Pentagon’s AI is trained on stuff that promotes religious morals and beliefs. Christian AI is how you get closer to evil apocalyptic AI overlords :)
I don’t think so. I think this stems from the stupid, misguided notion that morality comes from religion, so Judeo-Christian nations are inherently more moral than the heathens.
I’ve heard Shapiro spew this same BS. That somehow the moral code passed down through Judaism is inherently better and purer and that Western civilization was elevated by it.
Nevermind that it’s this exact brand of exceptionalism that has led to colonialism, forced conversions, genocide, and slavery. Let’s do the same thing to AI!
Western civilization was elevated by it.
It’s interesting that when Western civilization was being elevated during the Enlightenment that the Christians ran away to another continent to escape what they called “persecution” but was more really the same as we experience today. A bunch of selfish unhappy asswipes who want to make everyone as boring and unhappy as they are by banning things like dancing, and when people don’t like being forced to live like they do, they’re “persecuted.”
Most of the things that elevated Western society were based in philosophy, math and science, not religion. Interesting how that works out.
Ben Shapiro is so fucking dumb he got into an argument with another conservative simply because that guy was smarter than him. Andrew Neil is a fucking pompous right-wing jackass, but Shapiro is too fucking insipidly stupid to know that, apparently.

Not that far off from the already existing apocalypse cult that is Christianity. Begging for the end of days because they can’t be fucked to learn to live with other people.
Wtf is judeo christian?
Been seeing this term pop up over last few years but it does not seem to mean much besides some clown trying to show some ideology up my ass WITHOUT consent.
I don’t want either in my life! Pedos and creeps is all I am hearing frankly from that term.
Judeo-Christian is a term that acknowledges Christianity’s roots in Judaism. It’s a term that’s been in wide use since the dawn of the cold war, yet originated in 1821 as a term to describe Jewish converts into Christianity.
Who’s Pentagon Al?
The presenter and the other service person are trying to get far away from his comment.
What about the 3 Laws of Robotics?
