Is AI the new Tower of Babel?
@mattshumer_ (an AI technologist and CEO) recently published a warning about AI that has drawn more than 80 million views on social media.
His basic message (in my view) is this: most people think AI is an interesting tool, helpful, and convenient.
But those closest to it are sounding the alarm that we are much farther down the rabbit hole than the average person realizes, and that the world is shifting faster, and in more disruptive ways, than we fully comprehend.
In other words, many people are going to be caught off guard.
As believers, though, we are not called to fear. Scripture says God has not given us a spirit of fear. We are also told not to be surprised by trials. And Jesus encouraged us to be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
So, we need not panic in this moment. We must learn to exercise spiritual discernment and seek to understand the times we are living in.
And what exactly is this moment?
Is AI simply another technological leap? Or are we watching the beginnings of something deeper?
Is artificial intelligence this generation’s version of a Tower of Babel?
God made man in His image.
Man has now made AI in man’s image.
And if that is true, then man has almost certainly passed into these systems his own flaws, biases, pride, blind spots, and imperfect judgment.
So, what happens when these systems begin building their own systems?
In whose image will those be shaped?
No one fully knows where this leads. Even the experts and insiders cannot tell us exactly how this story ends.
But believers are not left without an anchor.
In strange times, we cling to what we know, and more importantly, Who we know.
Technology changes. Markets change. Power shifts. Culture moves.
But God does not.
He is the same through every generation, and He will still be God when today’s experts are proven right, wrong, or somewhere in between.
So, let’s be awake (Romans 13:11).
Let’s be thoughtful (1 Cor 10:24).
Let’s be discerning (Philippians 1:9-10).
Let’s learn what we need to learn without surrendering to hysteria. And above all, let’s be bold in our faith.
Because in uncertain times, fearful people need steady believers. 🙏🏽💗🙏🏽

Encouraging everyone to keep praying for Jamaica.
Now that we’re able to see the utter destruction left by Hurricane Melissa, it’s truly heartbreaking.
I still haven’t heard from my aunt who was hunkered down in the Black River area where the storm made landfall and caused the most devastation.
More to come, as our ministry is reaching out to see where we can bring some help and relief. 🙏❤️

The chart is about the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
In any new undertaking, we begin with high confidence and enthusiasm.
However, we also lack knowledge and expertise.
How do you reconcile the two?
The answer is grit. You must push through the dip… 💪 https://t.co/xXtxbtHors
@InspiredByWayne Wayne Gill, accent bias can be subtle. People may not come out and say it, but they comment on how fast you speak or to constantly repeat yourself. For years, this held me back from accepting speaking engagements, until I embraced my uniqueness which includes my natural voice 😊
@InspiredByWayne Powerful story Wayne Gill. As you know, our leadership journey is all about #purposecenteredleadership. This CEO is a picture of what that means. Leadership that marries profit with purpose; success with grace and compassion. Thanks for the share!
@InspiredByWayne I have always loved the Iman story. She was an inspiration for many young Black girls all over the world. I first heard about her in my early teens while living in Jamaica🇯🇲. I was excited and proud when her makeup came on the market. That was such an inspiring accomplishment!
Levi Strauss – The Immigrant Who Built America’s Toughest Brand.
He didn’t come for glory. He came for survival.
In 1847, a 17-year-old German-Jewish immigrant named Levi Strauss arrived in America with little more than a dream and rolls of dry goods to sell.
He was supposed to sell canvas for tents and wagons during the California Gold Rush. But one miner had a different request: “What we really need are pants that don’t fall apart.”
Levi listened.
He partnered with a tailor and started producing rugged trousers reinforced with copper rivets. The world’s first pair of blue jeans was born.
From there, the Levi’s brand exploded into American folklore, not because of fashion, but because of function. He created gear for workers, not runways. But somehow, he ended up dressing the world.
Here’s the lesson: You don’t have to invent something flashy. You just have to solve a real problem, and listen when your audience tells you what they need.
Levi Strauss didn’t start out trying to build an empire. He started by being useful.
Ever had to build something from the ground up?
@BethMooreLPM As I sit here contemplating the faithfulness of God, my thoughts turn to you and here is why. I have loved the Lord since I was 12 years old and walked firmly in that love until I was about 18. I dipped my toes into more worldly endeavors until I had my first child
at 27 who was born prematurely weighing 2 pounds. At that point I sought the Lord, started visiting a small Baptist church, and discovered Beth Moore's Bible studies. The first one I took was "A Woman's Heart, God's Dwelling Place", changed my life forever. I taught several over
