As a Christian, you are absolutely right.

But if you're ignoring Jesus's command to care for the less fortunate can you really say you believe in him? And then if you don't believe in him you're not saved.

Maybe you are more Christian than you realized. And maybe those you are referring to, aren't as Christian as they say they are.

For those of you who want to upgrade to Windows 11, but have a machine that doesn't officially support it, there's Rufus. https://rufus.ie/en/

It uses a legitimate Windows 11 ISO, which you download yourself from Microsoft's website using the Media Creation Tool. Once you have that, Rufus will use it to make a bootable USB stick that installs Windows, bypassing the TPM and other requirements.

To them I say, good luck. Automation is difficult and very, very expensive. It doesn't matter if the automation is the result of AI. AI is also very, very expensive. The stuff you get from ChatGPT is just the loss leader for real enterprise AI applications, and those are very pricy. That price will keep AI from decimating the workforce.

Homelessness is bad, yes. But it's not caused by AI or automation or because the government isn't providing enough jobs.

Homelessness has many causes, but probably the most significant one is mental illness, estimates ranging from 40-70%. https://homelesshub.ca/collect...).

One thing is certain: homelessness isn't caused by a lack of jobs in the wilderness. The jobs are in the cities, which is also where the homeless people largely live.

Jobs do not primarily exist to meet the income needs of people. Jobs exist because someone, or some company, needs some work done. Creating jobs is a means to get that work done. They are willing to pay money to get that work done. And people are willing to do the work, to get money.

You can't say to a taxi company, "Locate your taxi business in the wilderness so wilderness-dwellers can have jobs." No, you have to locate your taxi business where people need taxis. If you want to be a taxi driver, you're not going to find that kind of work in the wilderness.

This is just one example, most jobs have to be located where the need is. Haircutters, restaurants, shops, plumbers, electricians, homebuilders, just about every kind of business has to be located where customers are. If people want jobs, they have to go there.
