Quote by Chuck Klosterman

“When Galileo later declared that Copernicus was right (and that the Bible was therefore wrong) in the seventeenth century, he was eventually arrested by the Inquisition and forced to recant—but not before the Catholic Church told him (and I'm paraphrasing here): "Hey, man. We all know you're probably correct about this. We concede that you're a wizard, and what you're saying makes sense. But you gotta let us explain this stuff to the rest of the world very, very slowly. We can't suddenly tell every pasta-gorged plebeian in rural Italy that we live in a heliocentric universe. It will blow their minds and fuck up our game. Just be cool for a while.”

“...I tried to pray, but the words would not come, and I believe that is because I had ill-wished Nancy, I had indeed wished her dead; but I did not do so right then. But why did I need to pray, when God was right there, hovering above us like the Angel of Death over the Egyptians, I could feel his cold breath, I could hear the beating of his dark wings, inside my heart. God is everywhere, I thought, so God is in the kitchen, and God is in Nancy, and God is in McDermott, and in McDermott's hands, and God is in the axe too. Then I heard a dull sound from within, like a heavy door closing shut, and after that I can remember no more for a time.”

“Technology sneaks up on us. Suddenly, OpenAI’s ChatGPT bursts onto the scene, and within months, what seemed like overnight, its user base exploded to over 150 million by May 2023. ChatGPT swiftly became a term as common as household names. The entire world buzzed about artificial intelligence—a concept so potent it captured global imaginations. Yet, AI isn’t a sudden phenomenon. But if it wasn’t for putting a friendlier face on AI, democratizing it’s use, we may have been waiting longer.”
