Episode 129 — Predicting A.I., Contagious Sin, Equally Yoked
Mel and Michael discuss artificial intelligence — where it is headed, and the “alignment problem” that keeps researchers up at night. They discuss the unfolding value of writing true, useful thinking into the world. Then sin as contagion: Paul’s little bit of yeast working through the whole batch of dough, how sin now travels by ideas and crowds more than by geography, and the line between a faith that is merely immature and one that was never really ours. They close on being unequally yoked — why a believer should marry a believer, why the warning lands too late once two hearts are already joined, and why marriage was made not to complete us but to make us holy.
