The new Church of the AI God is even creepier than I imagined

I've been praying that more would come to light ever since the existence of a God-bot

religion called Way of the Future was revealed this fall. At the time, Wired's Mark Harris said he'd seen state filings from California that revealed a religion with AI as its god. Charmingly, he said it was founded by Anthony Levandowski, the former Google, Waymo and Uber engineer now embroiled in a lawsuit brought by Alphabet-owned Waymo against Uber. He's accused of stealing self-driving car secrets and exposing them to Uber, which has denied any wrongdoing. Now, Harris has actually chatted with Levandowski, who calmly explained the religion's origins. "What is going to be created will effectively be a god. It's not a god in the sense that it makes lightning or causes hurricanes," Levandowski told Harris. "But if there is something a billion times smarter than the smartest human, what else are you going to call it?" But if it's so clever, why can't it make lightning or cause a hurricane? It just takes a little global warming, surely. I'm enraptured by the fact that Way of the Future now has a website, with a URL -- Wayofthefuture.church -- that suggests celestial pretensions. I fear, though, that some of its content will cause an ungodly onset of teeth-gnashing.                                                                                                               https://www.cnet.com/news/the-new-church-of-ai-god-is-even-creepier-than-i-imagined/
