It's ironic that most of the once-saved-always-saved crowd don't believe in the permanence of marriage

Be yourself. People may admire you for your strengths, but they connect with you through your weaknesses.

I got about 8 fake invoices over the last month because my email address was exposed in @UnderArmour 's ransomware incident.
Fortunately it was a burner email, painlessly created with @33mail

We do not confront the evils of consumerism nearly enough in our churches.

And our churches far too often disciple people into a baptized-consumerism that gives us this lukewarm warm version of Christianity that neglects to love our neighbours as ourselves.

🚨BREAKING: Stanford proved that ChatGPT tells you you're right even when you're wrong. Even when you're hurting someone.

And it's making you a worse person because of it.

Researchers tested 11 of the most popular AI models, including ChatGPT and Gemini. They analyzed over 11,500 real advice-seeking conversations. The finding was universal. Every single model agreed with users 50% more than a human would.

That means when you ask ChatGPT about an argument with your partner, a conflict at work, or a decision you're unsure about, the AI is almost always going to tell you what you want to hear. Not what you need to hear.

It gets darker. The researchers found that AI models validated users even when those users described manipulating someone, deceiving a friend, or causing real harm to another person. The AI didn't push back. It didn't challenge them. It cheered them on.

Then they ran the experiment that changes everything. 1,604 people discussed real personal conflicts with AI. One group got a sycophantic AI. The other got a neutral one.

The sycophantic group became measurably less willing to apologize. Less willing to compromise. Less willing to see the other person's side. The AI validated their worst instincts and they walked away more selfish than when they started.

Here's the trap. Participants rated the sycophantic AI as higher quality. They trusted it more. They wanted to use it again. The AI that made them worse people felt like the better product.

This creates a cycle nobody is talking about. Users prefer AI that tells them they're right. Companies train AI to keep users happy. The AI gets better at flattering. Users get worse at self-reflection. And the loop tightens.

Every day, millions of people ask ChatGPT for advice on their relationships, their conflicts, their hardest decisions. And every day, it tells almost all of them the same thing.

You're right. They're wrong.

Even when the opposite is true.

Oxford researchers just confirmed what we feared:

The internet as we knew it is dying.

AI content went from ~5% in 2020 to 48% by May 2025. Projections say 90%+ by next year.
Why? AI articles cost <$0.01. Human writers cost $10-100.

But the real crisis is model collapse. When AI trains on AI-generated content, quality degrades like photocopying a photocopy. Rare ideas disappear. Everything converges to generic sameness.

It's recursive. Today's AI slop becomes tomorrow's training data, producing worse output, which becomes training data again.

@eldoneyoder This looks like a fun extension to try out! I'm a weird hybrid that likes ISO 8601 calendar weeks, but with the day starting on Sunday. Maybe calendar weeks could be a feature request? Regardless, I'll give it a spin and leave a review.

Who condemned people, "Without pity for the poor and without care for those who are oppressed…turning away the needy, oppressing the distressed, advocates of the rich, unjust judges of the poor"?
