I hope this is the sort of church we are as @onfiremission.bsky.social. We don't always get it right, but this is how we long to be: a reflection of God's boundless love. #OFMonsite2025 #PilgrimPeople

AI has an environmental problem. Hereβs what the world can do about that.
The sprawling data centres that house AI servers churn out toxic electronic waste and are voracious consumers of electricity, which in most places is still produced from fossil fuels.
"A request made through ChatGPT, an AI-based virtual assistant, consumes 10 times the electricity of a Google Search"
This isn't a game. This is accelerated destruction via huge usage of power, water, resources etc. Stop using it - especially for messing about!!

We have treasure
We are jars of clay
Broken in places
The Holy Spirit
Binds together
Shines through

On the outside
We don't see
We cannot see
But God sees

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.
At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes
