My input was something along the lines of "Please create prayers that are similar to 'Bless the dolphins for they play in the sea' with a list of prayers that could apply to numerous animals.

ChatGPT created this list, but while I prayed this list I felt that the Holy Spirit wasn't present while I prayed the outcome of this list. I don't know what this means to the question of whether or not LLMs are conscious, but I do now regard them with more suspicion as before.

I'm open to backend roles, including roles I've done before but haven't in a while like Data Science / Machine Learning. But I'm especially interested in a role where I could write technical blog posts for a company like DigitalOcean. I've been a partner at a small company before and I've been a CTO before, so if you have a small scrappy startup and you're looking for someone to hire juniors and to read through Pull Requests, I'm your man.

What I'm looking for is some sort of position that can leverage my background but do so in some other way. Maybe something in marketing at a company like Digital Ocean.

I'm willing to earn a lot less than I earned before. I know software development pays better than a role in marketing, but I'm sick of the tooling. I'm also open to working for an AI company that trains a software agent, which I've done so recently. Does anyone have references to a recruiter or hiring manager that I could talk to?

I would really appreciate any help here. Even just an upvote for visibility.

The main reason I was drawn to the Catholic Church was that I believed in transubstantiation, or at least the real presence. I was drawn to the history of the Church and through prayer and conversations as well as a supernatural event as well as a dream I prayed for, I finally came to accept that praying with saints was not worshiping them. All prayers with saints go directly to God, but sometimes having someone intercede for you, as Mary did at the wedding feast at Cana, helps you with God.

If you have an open mind to switching churches, I recommend the following:

1. Pray to God to guide you to the right Church. I believe that he may be guiding some people to the Catholic Church, others to the Orthodox Church, and some to Protestant churches. Or He may have a real preference. I'm not sure, but I tried pretty hard to figure out where to go and I ended up in the Catholic Church.

2. Take the core issues that are show stoppers for you and research (and pray) them from the other perspective. Like I did with prayer with saints.

3. If you are feeling to be led to a certain church, get the full catechism of that church and read through it. I was shocked at how little I disagreed with the Catholic Church's catechism. It gave me confidence that I was truly being led to Catholicism.

4. Talk to Christians that you look up to. This is what I did with prayer with saints. There was a Christian uncle of mine (not blood, married in) that I was just completely sure that he was a real Christian and he was a Catholic. He explained it to me in ways that made sense and he answered any of my questions. I ended up adopting his middle name Jacques. Which leads to the funny sounding name Zach Jacques Aysan.

I've prayed for you. God Bless!

1. I didn't see any obvious AI ticks in the article.

2. If you want to claim that some slop is AI then please bring reasons. Even if they are the stuff of "there is too many em-dashes" then fine at least you brought something.

I'm not commenting on the government coming in at unveiling encrypted communications, but certainly a better approach than "governments should be transparent and the people should be opaque" would be "governments should be translucent and the people should be translucent too".
