    “And when you saw two pairs of footprints on the beach, my child… that wasn’t you and me, it was just me. Galloping majestically.”

      Jesus was carrying the dinosaur, which is why you don’t see the dinosaur footprints, because dinosaurs didn’t exist.

      But they only didn’t exist in order to test our faith.

        Jesus spent those misssing years casting bones out of special concrete, sailing around the world, and burying them for future archeologists.

      That would be his third leg he is holding. What number four is from, I haven’t a clue.

    AI photos have taken Facebook by storm. So many are very obviously fucked up looking and not real, but the sheer stupidity of the masses shines as strong as ever. I even stumbled into a weird genre of AI-generated pictures of motorcycles built entirely from wood planks, usually with a toddler sitting on one and a caption like “Make this myself!”, and the comments section is absolutely bursting with morons praising how wonderful the craftsmanship is. The only part of these photos that even looks life-like is the kid. And yet…

    I got midjourney to make this to see if it could make a realistic photo of the crucifixion, I should start telling Christians that it’s a still taken from the Chronovisor the Vatican has hidden away.

      Did you choose the 1960’s style color processing, or did midjourney?

      Chronovisor the Vatican has hidden away.

      I never once considered that the Vatican might have actual powerful artifacts and/or SCP-level objects tucked away.

        I asked it for a colourised photo jounalistic footage, it decided that style. .

        That throne the pope has feels like some sort of SCP.

          Nice. I’ll have to remember that prompt. That’s useful.

          (now you’re speaking my language)

          Either it’s a psychic amplifier of some kind and/or the throne itself is the inanimate-yet-sentient head of the papacy. Either way, The Vatican has it “contained” but the SCP Foundation does not approve of their methods.

            Yeah that prompts pretty good at getting a slice of life style photo with what ever weird thing you’ve added, it also helps to look into what film stock and camera people used to take cool photos, it’s pretty good at replicating film stocks and lense sizes.

            I like seeing what alternate reality photography it can make

        Most of us use “mind” to refer to intellect. The thing we think with, where all the ideas are.

        But the Buddhists are referring to your “attention”. Like a flashlight, you direct it at stuff. Sights, sounds, thoughts, etc.

        That’s 2 quite different things. “Open your mind” is a different thing there.

            Whenever anybody tries to talk about anything strange and significant you people get defensive. It’s as if you actually prefer to be boring, mediocre and shitty. You’ve got a deathgrip on it.

              I’ve found that a lot of times people who are very interested in a given topic will see it everywhere they look, and as such, shove it into any conversation possible.

              “What did you do during your trip to Egypt?” “We visited the pyramids.” “You know, aliens may have built those.”

              It can get old very fast.

              I’m certainly guilty of this and as someone with fairly nuanced interests that touch on common topics, am regularly asking myself if it’s contextually appropriate to bring up my particular perspective in a discussion.

              You literally jumped in on a quotation of a movie in response to a screenshot of that movie to try and have a discussion of Buddhist principles.

              Maybe you could do better at knowing your audience and reading the room?

                And you found it so darn offensive that you needed to ignore my point and insult me. I sympathize.

                  Where did I insult you?

                  “Wooosh” is a standard meme in reference to missing the point of a post or comment.

                  There was an entire sub on Reddit about it.

                  If you are getting offended at memes, perhaps it’s a good opportunity to exercise nonattachment?

              It’s the scene from Total Recall where the character in the top comment keeps repeating the phrase “Open your mind…”

    Maybe the people on your Facebook are also AI/bots. It’s just one big circle of bots posted altered photos and responding to them.

      Well that’s one way to feed the algorithm with comments. And apparently it works since you got to see the videos.

    the feed is full of those AI Jesus pictures like this and thousands of comments saying “Amen”.

    I’m worried. Should I be worried?

    2000+ years ago, literature didn’t exist in the way it does today. A book was only writable/readable to those that were literate, whom were in the overwhelming minority. I can appreciate how such an incomprehensible thing, said to contain the very word of god, might be considered practically magic in its own right. Today, all that’s demystified mostly because nearly all of us understand that writing is just a form of technology, and learn so as small children.

    Now, we have a brand new incomprehensible thing that can churn out religious iconography with the push of a button.

      propaganda always existed. People have pictures of white & blonde jesus in their homes. Jesus was midde eastern. Didn’t need AI for that.
