I don't know if this is a tax-dodge ala Hubbard's Scientology and some "churches" or if they are really want to create and worship an AI computer as their "god."

Amazon already hosts much of the government's data, including highly confidential information, and much of the news via Wash Post, food via Whole Foods, and now they are getting to run government procurement contracts.

So why not create a "god" also?

Somehow I doubt the government jobs in procurement offices etc are going to be cut despite the Amazon schemes. Private companies I'm sure will RIF with Amazon, AI, automation etc but I'm guessing that stuff for government will just result in folks having more time for playing solitaire, surfing for porn, or FB. At least for existing filled positions, conceivably, governments could sunset some positions once they are pensioned but I doubt it.

I realize that just because I'm not interested in porn doesn't mean everyone else isn't either.  What does surprise me is that there seems to be such a big demand for it.

I don't have a problem with people watching porn as long as it's Adult porn.

Hey, do you mind?! The pumpkin butt is really working for me and I'm trying to rub one out but all this talking is really taking me out of the moment.

I never said I was against adult porn.  I'm just not interested in it.  That shouldn't throw a monkey in your wench.  Anyway, a pumpkin mooning plumber's butt isn't porn.  Carry on.

An AI God ? ?

That should fit the bill for some of the atheists around here.

You are a true believer. Blessings of the state, blessings of the masses. Thou art a subject of the divine. Created in the image of man, by the masses, for the masses.
Let us be thankful we have an occupation to fill. Work hard; increase production, prevent accidents, and be happy.
Let us be thankful we have commerce. Buy more. Buy more now. Buy more and be happy.

Why can't it be both? In any event, my advice would be to start small. Maybe some flowers, maybe some chocolates--asking anyone to be one's "god" is a big step, and shouldn't just be blundered into blindly. I, personally, would advise several years of cautious research and examination. Like that chick who lived with the gorillas did, except much, much more frequently showered, and not so arrogant enough as to get oneself murdered by poachers. "Poachers"? Let us set aside for the moment, what "poachers" might consist of when studying AI computers as candidate for "god," just assume that they're gonna show up eventually, and one won't be far from wrong, and certainly no less prepared to deal with any legitimate threat.

Also--and I cannot stress this highly enough--be nice to children and animals. You'd be surprised how seriously Intelligence--artificial, or otherwise--takes this issue to be. I mean, really: you would be surprised.

Church of AI.

I read that as "Church of Artificial Insemination".

I used to be a Master Breeder, I literally have hundreds of thousands of "offspring".
