In a discussion ranging over the full history of human making (stone tools to modern cities), we centre our perspective of human purpose within a Christian worldview. Our distinctive focus centres on how the Bible's lens on a diverse range of technologies starts within its ancient culture. However, its theological position often transforms those ideas with its own unique moral imagination. Bringing the Bible's ideas to bear on times and places beyond the text, we must grapple with the original cultures and the theological transformation.

S6E10 Techumanpurpose •• EEAAO – All At Once (Almost) – Humans and the AI event horizon Part 2
In this episode I continue to discuss the "AI moment" - what I call the Event Horizon. It was recorded before the announcement of the signing of the a ceasefire between the USA and Iran.
Covered in this episode:
Gig work, how to think about the person, the tech bro phenomena and their seemingly hatred of people (and this I will say I AI-ed with Google Gemini to a fairly good extent). Whether, they do hate humanity is an open question but they do come across as if they do.
A discussion of order and disorder. In retrospect what I didn't include was the potential rationale that AI will lead to disorder being behind their leanings towards extreme libertarianism mixed with authoritarian leadership.
Ethics versus micro choices.
And a bit of poetry on human flourisng.
This is the notes for both epsiodes.
