Donald Johnson's review
of
AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference:
"I think this is a pretty good book, though I am not an expert on AI, so my judgement may not be as good as someone more qualified.
The book discusses three main categories of AI tools, generative AI, predictive AI, and content moderation AI. It's focu" Read more of this review » |

“The idea that the word of God should be permitted to calcify slowly into a language normal people can’t read is one of the reasons we had a Protestant Reformation, a movement launched by a monk whose first act a er defying a church council with, “My conscience is captive to the word of God” was to hole himself up in Wartburg castle and translate the Bible into German. There he sat; he could do no other.”

“because translation frequently demands minor trade-offs of nuance, it’s wise to make use of multiple translations.”
― Authorized: The Use and Misuse of the King James Bible

“So back to a question I raised in the introduction: What Bible translation will I give my own kids? And the answer is: I won’t give them a single translation. I’ll train them, Lord willing, to appreciate multiple translations. Instead of expressing suspicion toward translations from other tribes, I will express curiosity and interest and gratitude. I’ll teach my progeny that there’s a good reason for the little differences between Bible translations.”

“If you argue with a madman, it is extremely probable that you will get the worst of it; for in many ways his mind moves all the quicker for not being delayed by the things that go with good judgment.”

“We are not being true to the artist as a man if we consider his art work junk simply because we differ with his outlook on life. Christian schools, Christian parents, and Christian pastors often have turned off young people at just this point. Because the schools, the pastors, and the parents did not make a distinction between technical excellence and content, the whole of much great art has been rejected with scorn and ridicule. Instead, if the artist's technical excellence is high, he is to be praised for this, even if we differ with his world view. Man must be treated fairly as man.”

“Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion." "Ooh" said Susan. "I'd thought he was a man. Is he-quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion"..."Safe?" said Mr Beaver ..."Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”

“There is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry, Mine!”
