Re^2: What's your view on AI coding assistants?

I was of the opinion that the "mark of the beast" is the smartcard, nowadays used for communication (SIM card), trade (bank card), and health (e.g. systems like french "carte vitale" or german "Krankenversicherungskarte"). Your remarks make me reconsider. Now I think that AI is going to be the mark of the beast.

Update: or AI is the "image of the beast" as in Revelation 13:15

Now I think that AI is going to be the mark of the beast. Update: or AI is the "image of the beast" as in Revelation 13:15 Yes, I think so, too. The mark might be a chip or a sign or just about anything. The image, however, could very well be an AI robot. I've heard someone say that the mark might be a badge. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7KszBpyBUdA Whatever it is, the important thing is where it's going to be placed. Whether it's embedded under the skin or on the skin doesn't really matter. The important thing is that it will symbolize worhship and allegiance, and the type of punishment for not wearing it will be the inability to buy or sell anything. So, it won't be advertised as totally optional. It will be mandatory for everyone.	[reply]

Well, I'd see it more conceptual. I don't think a real beast will show up. I think it's mostly allegories about crowd psychology, and as with all prophecies, if they are vague enough, it is inevitable that at least some part of it can be interpreted in a light that makes it true. "The beast" may be mankind's tendencies towards totalitarianism. The current hype about AI in general and generative LLMs in particular definitely qualifies for the "image of the beast". Just don't forget that salvation is meant for those who withstandš. And any decent PBX admin should assign 666 as phone number for <Reveal this spoiler or all in this thread> š or better: damnation is waiting for those who don't - see Revelation 16:2	[reply]
