Someone asked ChapGPt to come up with 10 Commandments for the modern world. I could be guided by these principles. Perhaps a new religion is in order?
@georgetakei Could we just do Secular Humanism instead please?
@drulum what’s that and how is it different than the above? @georgetakei
@nitinkhanna @georgetakei The very shot form is that it rejects supernatural explains for things we don't understand, encourages you to think for yourself, treat others fairly and accept people have the right to believe what they want - but not force those beliefs on anyone else.
@georgetakei The "harmful substances and habits" bit could be easily abused to persecute just about anyone.

@mansr 7 and 9 would prevent any persecution, right? Right?

@georgetakei

@georgetakei
I’ve found my new religion… Takeism
😉
@georgetakei but will this new religion bring you to your knees... Alannah Myles wants to know!
@Tribear @georgetakei “Alannah Myles”, there’s a name I haven’t heard in a long long time. Had Black Velvet on repeat for a good long while …
@georgetakei
It left out the 1st commandment
I AM THE THE AI: THOU SHALT NOT WORSHIP OTHER STRANGE AIs
@jckatz411
Especially not those coming up from Google soon!!
@georgetakei
THERE ARE SEVEN FUNDAMENTAL TENETS

Instead of commandments, The Satanic Temple has The Seven Tenets and are based on compassion for people, the fight for justice, inviolability of the body, respect for the freedoms of others. Read here →

TST
@fyzzlefry @georgetakei Yeah! I was thinking the same thing. 😀
@fyzzlefry @georgetakei Yeah, came here to say this. Too bad ppl mistake satanism for worhispping Satan and sacrificing babies or something.
@georgetakei I've always said Bill & Ted should be a religion.
"Be excellent to each other." So simple, and yet so hard to twist into something malicious.
@georgetakei who knew a computer program could be a socialist, bleeding-heart liberal 🤣🤣🤣
@georgetakei Maga must stop this madness.
@georgetakei - Well, 9 out of 10. (I'm not sure what ChatGPT is talking about in the "harmful substances and habits" part 😂 )
@carquint @georgetakei
Because all religions seem to involve some interpretation on the part of the disciple, I'm thinking a) many substances (such as food or good weed) aren't harmful in moderation and in fact can be quite good for you; and b) moderation is in the eye of the beholder. I can live with that... :)
@georgetakei I think we've probably already had enough religion. Not only should we not start a new one, we shouldn't accept religion as some kind of protected personal characteristic. Your religion is just your opinion, after all.

@georgetakei Hi, Thanks for posting this. I'm curious about the source. Do you have a reference for where it originated?

Thanks,

Ron

@georgetakei those principles could have come right out of Gene Roddenberry's mouth

@georgetakei funny that Elon Musk and Microsoft are owning this tool
@Haubentaucher @georgetakei
Bow to the masters…
(:vomit emoji)

@georgetakei

I don't see the one about "If the cat is in the room during the video call, the cat must be on the screen".

@georgetakei WhatsApp are harmful substances and habits?
@georgetakei these are common sense and decency, things that everyone should do without thinking about it
How many more years do we need to follow @georgetakei through the digital desert to make this new religion happen?
@George Takei :verified: 🏳️‍🌈🖖🏽 So I see that ChatGPT can also kick at open doors...
@georgetakei
I’m down with Takeism, oh guru.

@georgetakei Wow. Apparently ChatGPT is smarter than ... so many people....
@georgetakei I mean this is basically the tenants of the Satanic Temple lol
@georgetakei Conservatives aren't going to be happy with those *at all*
@georgetakei Funny, these are the same as the basic tenets of atheopaganism. Sharing this with the world. Thank you!
@georgetakei No, definitely NOT a new religion. A new rationality.
@georgetakei I am suddenly reminded of a scene in _Good Omens_. Possibly mashed up with 2001.
@georgetakei
Could this someone now do a chatbot diet?
@georgetakei No fan of ChatGPT, but I gotta say, that is a pretty damn solid second draft.
@georgetakei These are surprisingly good.
@georgetakei that last one sounds like something my mom would've said.
@georgetakei
It's sad that a bot gets it better than many people do, but, there we have it. And I wholeheartedly agree, a new religion is needed. The old ones (and those representing them) aren't doing what they're supposed to any longer.
@georgetakei
Where`s HAL when you need him/her/it/some thing?
@georgetakei
They have the stamp of being cobbled together from every wise saying ever, but with just that specificity removed that gives them value. EG "all beings" instead of "all sentient beings" or "all beings that can suffer".
Human-generated wisdom, such as the Flying Spaghetti Monster's Eight "I'd Really Rather You Didn'ts", are better.
@georgetakei AI again. The first one comes with a rationale, the others are just some demands, demanding you to obey. Well, if you ask for commandments, the AI will give you commandments.
@georgetakei Add something in there about a right to the resources needed to live and then it sounds like a good basis.
@georgetakei I think I’ll just stick to the church of #DontBeAnAsshole
@georgetakei This sounds like one existing religion at least. #Bahai
