BACK40 E129 - Predicting A.I., Contagious Sin, Equally Yoked

In this episode we start with artificial intelligence: how these systems are climbing from narrow tools toward something far more general. We talk about the "alignment problem", then we pivot to a hopeful call for writing true, useful material a means of influencing the future of thought.

Next we talk about sin as something contagious: Paul's picture of a little yeast working through the whole batch of dough, how sin now spreads by ideas and crowds more than by geography, and the difference between a faith that is simply immature and one that was never really our own.

We finish on marriage and the dangers of being unequally yoked. We discuss why it matters for a believer to marry a believer, why the warning is so hard to hear once two hearts are already joined, and why marriage was never meant to complete us, but to make us holy.
