AI for everything after you preach. Now part of the @subsplash family.

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Checking in on our thesis:
Technology continues to be important and the church continues to spread the Gospel

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Hey @michaelwhittle is today a bad day to pitch my idea of using Pulpit credits as a kinda reserve currency thing or...

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

We would like to humbly suggest that you’re not having enough fun yet

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Somewhere along the way we've allowed the Ministry Industrial Complex to tell us that Slow === Holy.

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Now do church ministry (who do we predict will be the Marty?)

[Michael Whittle @michaelwhittle]

All of film Twitter: “OMG AI is going to ruin cinema!!”

Marty to his agent: “find me an advisory role.”

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Yes but have you considered that perhaps the future of ministry might be...fun?

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Look don’t hyperventilate but I’m just saying I’ve never had Pulpit AI passive aggressively text me about chain of command in the coffee ministry so there’s that I guess

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

It is Sunday my people

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Every time I talk to a new pastor on the ground doing real ministry:

"AI? Oh yeah, I've got 3 use cases and I'm working on a 4th. Here's my favorite models in descending order and a custom prompt setup I built."

Every. Time.

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Wonder what would happen if you ran a conference and then ran it through weapons-grade ministry tooling so that months of work lasted longer than a few days

The correct Christian take on any possible technological horizon is optimism.

Not reluctant, not hedged, not whispered. The man who builds by the strength of God is wise to be bullish.

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Much of the current AI conversation inside and outside the church is tainted by the fact that posturing as a pessimist is almost always accepted as the intelligent, wise, spiritual or humanist path.

I mean optimism crushes it when you backtest, but pessimism sure SOUNDS smarter

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

You could complain and doom or

You could realize it is about to be the best time in history for Christians to take charge and build

SITUATION ANALYSIS: Religious texts may work as AI alignment tools.

What @timhwang says Institute for a Christian Machine Intelligence (ICMI) is testing:

• Put Psalms in the model context window
• Run the model on moral decision benchmarks
• Measure changes on virtue-based evals
• Test Christian reasoning as a steering method
• Try images like the Annunciation in multimodal models
• Watch how the model uses religious symbols in reasoning
• Compare theological alignment against secular approaches

The weird part: Tim says the Psalms result improved Virtue Bench in a statistically significant way.

We're going to put so many believers in Big Tech you won't even believe

[Stephen Hall @stephenjhall]

The magic of Austin is meeting some long haired SVP engineer on s congress who works at big co and proudly wears a shirt that says “Tap my shoulder if you need prayer” (real)

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

Conversations from the long weekend indicate we continue to experience a generational change of epoch effecting every area of church ministry. Not just the technology, that's only part of the story.

The future is gonna be so fun

[Michael Whittle @michaelwhittle]

Yes, without question. Also after a new pastor is found if that new pastor sees value.

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

GOOD MORNING IT IS SUNDAY

[Michael Whittle @michaelwhittle]

Whoever runs the @PulpitAI twitter account is saying some decently interesting stuff.

[PulpitAI @PulpitAI]

I’ve got a little theory that the response to AI in ministry almost directly maps to the generational leadership handoff and there are many downstream conclusions that could be made from that fact

But it isn’t actually ready to discuss publicly yet

[Julie Fredrickson @AlmostMedia]

In one of the largest religion surveys ever conducted, perhaps surprisingly, people who are actively religious are the ones who have the highest confidence in AI right now
