Vatican: 'Urgent Need' to Guide Artificial Intelligence

Catholic Church....Pedophiles.....Cover-ups from the bottom up.

Pedophiles know where to find victims. They are hunters. It's not just the Catholic church that they infiltrate but Protestant churches and public/private schools as well and just as much. It's just that you don't hear about those places they go underreported in the news.

Book Reveals Pedophilia in Protestant Churches

Jenkins found 0.2 to 1.7 percent of Catholic clergy had been guilty of pedophilia while 10 percent of Protestant ministers had been found guilty of sexual misconduct with a 2 percent to 3 percent pedophilia rate.

But looks can be deceiving, and it appears that child sexual abuse in Protestant churches is actually more common.

30 years ago I was working a temp job at a Baptist Church in Alabama. It had two ministers. I was there three weeks. The younger minister got picked up by the cops in a city park in Huntsville flashing people while he was naked under a rain coat. It never hit the news.

Jokes aside.

Does it really matter which side of the aisle they come from?

No matter the type of organised religious practice.

They do seem to be somewhat of a haven where the likes of pedophiles are concerned.

And buried up to their necks in child abuse scandals which they attempt to sweep under the proverbial rug.

The question is; does anyone who will be using A.I. actually care about the Vatican's opinion.

The answer is; $$$$. The Vatican Bank. They are international power players

I wonder how much of the younger generations actually value the word of the Church.

Doesn't matter if they value it or not. Like I said, the Vatican is a wealthy international power player.

Didn't the Poop spend a couple of years telling us aliens-if they exist-are our brothers and we should embrace them with love and acceptance?
Now we're on the fast track to 'disclosure', AI, CBDC, UBI, mRNA for every malady in existence (and soon to be created) and the Poop is the leading figure for those still clinging to a MAN as their final authority on what to believe, i.e. higher power?

Did I miss anything? Oh, yeah; my 10% to pay for the Poop's pontification.

* Grammatical error mine. *

The URGENT NEED is to take the pedophilia crimes against humanity head-on. And if 2/3 of the clergy and leadership get sentenced to Third World prisons then all the better, at least the needed purge would have been done.

Versus looking the other way like they have for decades.

AI? That can wait. Get the inferno inside the Church put out first, then worry about the clouds on the horizon.

a reply to: ancientlight

Right. They also preach "trickle-down" economics. But that hasn't worked for at least decade. What happends when corporations get huge tax breaks and loopholes to save money? They give it to their top 10% - executives and share holders. Like how Trump gave Amazon a massive tax break and they barely paid anything. My friend at Amazon said he recieved less than a $1 raise.

I really don't get why we all continue to keep voting in politicians who all are corporate shills. Biden, Trump, ect...

Well, you have the likes of the Jesuits.

How many countries did they get kicked out of or asked to leave?

Which clearly illustrates the influence they had or were attempting to exert.

One of many FlyersFan2.

It talks through dont it, and the rest simply do the walk.

The system it's based on as you probably know is quite simply unsustainable, and hence the demise of the middle class.

a reply to: DontTreadOnMe

And the alternative?

Liberal Democracy.

I've lived under that system my whole life. Imagining something better (and possible) is beyond me I'm afraid.

Wikipedia:

It is characterized by elections between multiple distinct political parties, a separation of powers into different branches of government, the rule of law in everyday life as part of an open society, a market economy with private property, universal suffrage, and the equal protection of human rights, civil rights, civil liberties and political freedoms for all people.

They want to guide that which does not exist (yet)? Current so-called AI programs or databases (LLM's) are not intelligent, and that includes GPT-4/ChatGPT. The field really still is in its infancy. It's a bit reminiscent of origin of life research, lots of promises of future discovery, lots of claims about having made progress, but no actual progress or discovery in the form of solving any of the major problems with their idea that it happened "by chance" and that it was a mindless process, or actual demonstration of one the steps involved in this presumably gradual process (without intelligent interference or engineering a building block of life, ending up demonstrating the opposite, that it wasn't a matter of chance and natural mindless processes).

Artificial Intelligence: Unseating the Inevitability Narrative

... For Kurzweil, it is inevitable that machines will match and then exceed us: ...

...

Erik Larson’s The Myth of Artificial Intelligence (published by Harvard/Belknap) is far and away the best refutation of Kurzweil’s overpromises, but also of the hype pressed by those who have fallen in love with AI’s latest incarnation, which is the combination of big data with machine learning.

...

We live in a cultural climate that loves machines and where the promise of artificial general intelligence assumes, at least for some, religious proportions. The thought that we can upload ourselves onto machines intrigues many. So why not look forward to the prospect of them doing so, especially since some very smart people guarantee that machine supremacy is inevitable. Larson in The Myth of Artificial Intelligence successfully unseats this inevitability narrative. After reading this book, believe if you like that the singularity is right around the corner, that humans will soon be pets of machines, that benign or malevolent machine overlords are about to become our masters. But know that such a belief is unsubstantiated and that neither science nor philosophy backs it up.

Saint Pope John Paul II was asked by a little girl if space aliens exist. His answer was 'always remember God loves them too'. He didn't say 'IF THEY EXIST God loves them too'. He spoke as if the exist for sure. At least that's what it sounded like to me.

Statistically speaking, and given the size, and grand scale of our universe.

To believe other life does not exist out there amongst the stars is quite frankly sheer arrogance by my guess.

The Church is not evil.

That’s debatable…at least in the US.

Are people not able to have a relationship with Yeshua or God without a middle man?
What about isolated people unable to get to church, are they damned?

I live in a house that used to be a pastors..I’m not even kidding when I say I even found stashes of CASH hiding.
Every time I’ve had work done, the workers have told me, wow, that is the most expensive product made.
Yes mine is one example, but I’ve seen too many.

I see churches all around me, some that look like fancy malls. I see older churches that were built with the most luxurious products of the time which is why they are still standing today.
I’m just talking about the physical buildings, and haven’t even touched on the actual clergy, priests, pastors, etc…on an on.

And the alternative?
Satanism?
Secularism?
Materialism?
AI?
Plain old EVIL?

Brave New World anyone?

Islam
Buddhism
Taoism
Whatever floats your boat.

I do NOT see how whether or not you choose to attend religious services makes the Church evil.

Religion and faith are private issues.
How you choose to worship is also private.

Check out Trevor Loudon and Dr Taylor Marshall...it is not the Church that is evil.
It is the infiltrators that are evil and worse.

I've only spent a couple of hours on this, so correct me where I'm wrong.

Social Gospel = Socialism = Communism = Evil = Satan's Control

a reply to: pthena

The thing is the Bible refers to Satan as "the prince of this world".

Which doesn't seem very communist, quite the opposite in point of fact.

The Pope is evil, not representative of past Popes.

He's a far-left, anti-American, anti-Catholic, NWO goon.

What really got me was when he said he was 'honored' when Americans said they didnt' like him.

He really hates America and wants us to be a dirt-poor Spanish-speaking hovel.

Yep, nothing about that weirdo is comforting.

You know how politics, medicine, journalism and education has been infiltrated by marxists, socialists and all manner of evil-doers?
Christianity and Judaism has been infiltrated as well.
That is where the evil has come from.
Destroy from within!!!!!

The Church is not evil.
Evil has been allowed to run rampant and take over in some cases.
The evil has risen up the chain of command in these institutions.
The evil has a goal to cause the decay of morals and society.

So true. I find it very difficult to trust a lot of what preachers say today. I test it against what the Bible says and go from there.

The church itself is not evil.
People within it are.

a reply to: FlyersFan2

Aye, but it's ""people"" who run the church.

Hence if they are corrupt, then so is the organisation by default, or so it would seem to me.

I suppose a better question would be how could the problem be fixed?
