"ከንስሃ ይልቅ መዘመርን እወዳለሁ"

It's one thing to hate Israel's politics, it's completely different to hate the people and nation. Watch out.

Check out how these two cities responded to the arrival of Jesus and His miracle doing:

1. "የጌርጌሴኖን አካባቢ ሰዎችም ሁሉ ታላቅ ፍርሀት ስላደረባቸው፣ ከዚያ እንዲሄድላቸው ኢየሱስን ለመኑት፤ እርሱም ወደ ጀልባው ገብቶ ተመልሶ ሄደ።" -- ሉቃስ 8:37

2. "ሲነጋም ኢየሱስ ወደ አንድ ገለልተኛ ስፍራ ሄደ፤ ሕዝቡም ይፈልጉት ነበር፤ እርሱ ወዳለበትም ቦታ መጡ፤ ከእነርሱ ተለይቶ እንዳይሄድ ሊከለክሉት ሞከሩ።" -- ሉቃስ 4:42

Crazy how one city asked Him to leave, while another tried to force Him to stay.

Did God create creation with a Prompt? Is God a prompt engineer?

I've actually thought about this ena I think I have a good answer. My answer is no. God did not prompt the universe into creation.

Prompting requires someone to speak to an intelligent being. U can prompt me for example. All you say is the instructions and I have the necessary power, resource and knowledge to understand that and make it happen.

In ChatGPT, or most advanced LLMs, they are built so complex and advanced so that they have enough intelligence, power and resources to understand what you said and make it happen.

But during the creation process, there was no power, intelligece or resource to understand any of God's words. That's why it says "ምድርም ቅርጽ የለሽና ባዶ ነበረች።" (ዘፍጥረት 1:2)

So it was empty enough to not have any intelligence, power or resource to understand what God wanted to happen and make it happen.

But here comes the kicker, and what fascinates me.

In human and AI interaction more power, intelligence and resource is on the AI side and not on the prompts. The models are so sophisticated that they can understand even the smallest and vague requests.

On the other hand, when it comes to God's words; all the power, sophistication, intelligence and resource is contained within the words themselves and not the systems receiving it.

So I believe when God said “ቀኑን ከሌሊት እንዲለዩ፣ የዓመት ወቅቶች፣ ቀናትና ዓመታት የሚጀምሩበትንም እንዲያመለክቱ፣ ለምድር ብርሃን የሚሰጡ ልዩ ልዩ ብርሃናት በሰማይ ይሁኑ” (ዘፍጥረት 1:14-15) and when it happened as He said; the complications, the formulas, the computations, the power, and resources needed to form the stars and constellations, to allow them to move around and tell the years apart and all the calculations came contained with the words of God.

We can see something similar in Ezekiel. Ezekiel is a prophet and one time in a vision he saw a valley full of skeletons. So many dead people, with only their skulls and bones left.

Then God asked Ezekiel who can bring these people to life and Ezekiel told God that only He knows about this.

Then finally God told Ezekiel “ለእነዚህ ዐጥንቶች ትንቢት ተናገር፤ እንዲህም በላቸው፤ ‘እናንት ደረቅ ዐጥንቶች፤ የእግዚአብሔርን ቃል ስሙ! ጌታ እግዚአብሔር ለእነዚህ፤ ዐጥንቶች እንዲህ ይላል፤ እስትንፋስ አገባባችኋለሁ፤ እናንተም በሕይወት ትኖራላችሁ። ጅማት አደርግላችኋለሁ፤ ሥጋ አለብሳችኋለሁ፤ በቈዳ እሸፍናችኋለሁ፤ በውስጣችሁም እስትንፋስ አገባባችኋለሁ፤ በሕይወት ትኖራላችሁ፤ እኔም እግዚአብሔር እንደ ሆንሁ ታውቃላችሁ።’ ” (ሕዝቅኤል 37:4-6)

And finally the sections after that show how these bones started wearing muscles, nerves, flesh, skin and breath and finally came alive.

So you can see that it's so different from our interaction with AI.

These bones have no intelligence or power whatsoever to understand anything unlike AI models. But the words of God came with all the power, resource and complications to form bodies for these bones and bring life to them.

Questions like these aren't as simple as they seem specially if you're someone who's deep in tech.

It's subtle but it tries to weaken God's power and tries to raise the capacity of technology.

There's a popular quote that goes "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from Magic" but honestly most people don't believe in Magic, but in God.... So any advanced technology is indistinguishable from God to most people.

God is ALWAYS greater than Tech.

Everytime God gets hold of a man, He calls them out for an adventure.

To love the flesh is to love death.

admit defeat to God.

THIS WAS CRAZY GOOD!!!!! Honestly redeemed Jordan for me so much!!! He is sooo good and coherent. I learnt so much and it's very deep.

Also this's the first episode to be very respectful and the debates happened smoothly both on the guest and the circle side.

I have so much to think about but this was a gem!!!! This might be my favorite episode.

This's still fascinating me btw. It's just so crazy how an intellectual converses with young adults like us. I mean the difference is just mesmerizing. It is just so beautiful. I wanna grow to know that much and more, and be coherent with my phrasings and word use.

I was the kind to leave relationships when something happens. Infact it was the first thought that comes to mind.

It was only after years that I realize no matter the person I can switch to, there will always be problems that'll bother you.

Even when trust, honesty and communication is at its best, there will still be problems that will infuriate or hurt you.

It was only after years I've realized that sticking with one person is the best possible thing to do. The love and connection you feel after you've went past the issue and problem, the fact that you both stayed with eachother through different ups and downs, that is the kind of love that makes you feel complete and satisfied.

Everything else is surface level and will never be as meaningful as this. So try your best to stay and fix, to compromise and forgive.

I dubs you sunshine ☀️

I should someday prepare a session in ALX or some nice venue to just connect and share experiences with all of you wonderful Dagmawi Babi fans. I've been getting a lot of requests like this and I feel like it'd be fun and worth it :)

Start the morning with some flutter course, then move on to content creation, perhaps include productivity, then experience sharing about remote work and leading teams, maybe even invite another guest beside me too, then about running a podcast and finally closing with a Q&A and networking session :)
