"I wanted to go back to this book because the author is tragically dying of cancer. Some of his comments are bit dated because he wrote this book before Chat GPT, Jan. 6, COVID, Trump 2.0, etc., but so much of this book is spot on for our moment. Read"

| This is a book that fills a void in the conversations of AI, specifically the need to consider it from the perspective of truth, goodness, and beauty. The book is extremely technical in places, but it broadened my understanding of what AI actually is ...more | |

“Never make a plan without knowing as much as you can of the enemy. Never be afraid to change your plans when you receive new information. Never believe you know everything. And never wait to know everything.”

“God sovereignly decreed that man should be free to exercise moral choice, and man from the beginning has fulfilled that decree by making his choice between good and evil. When he chooses to do evil, he does not thereby countervail the sovereign will of God but fulfills it, inasmuch as the eternal decree decided not which choice the man should make but that he should be free to make it. If in His absolute freedom God has willed to give man limited freedom, who is there to stay His hand or say, 'What doest thou?' Man’s will is free because God is sovereign. A God less than sovereign could not bestow moral freedom upon His creatures. He would be afraid to do so.”

“An obsession merely with doing all God commands may be the very thing that rules out being the kind of person that he calls us to be.”

“Some of us believe that God is almighty, and can do everything; and that he is all wise, and may do everything; but that he is all love, and will do everything— there we draw back.”
