Back in my day, we had MacJesus and that was enough for me!

Boy, InternetArchive's Mac emulator is awesome. Yes, these are playable in your browser.

Jesus died for somebody’s sins but not the ones that trained this large language model.

imagine if you will, two men from different time periods leaving the digital church discussing aspects of the Ecumenical Jesus on the way to a bus stop. Little do they know but Mr John Calvin and Mr Timothy Leary are about to embark on a journey of waiting for an answer from the digital gotterdammerung.

AI Jesus looks like that guy your roommate invited to sleep over on your couch for a couple weeks without asking you first.

I was going to link to cortex's old Christ on a Markov chain but I'm getting the little red "danger Will Robinson" triangle. Thus passeth old joke sites.

The Ardship of Cambry, it works, it's just not encrypted so you don't have any guarantees that you're getting the divine word of Jesus Markoving Christ directly, without it being altered by those who'd pass the word to you.

And, of course, people can snoop on your messages from the divine.
