The AI picked up on something of critical significance. That is nihilism. St. Seraphim Rose, of the Orthodox Church, makes a case for how this is the final battle. Whereby we aren't merely looking at the external world when it comes to Revelation, but also the interior world. He also did this long before AI came about. The theory being that the end result of nihilism isn't ultimately about creating a new world in our own image. But rather the end result is about destroying ourselves because we believe nothing has any meaning. St. Seraphim Rose suggests that Christianity is similar in this regard, in that we also believe the world doesn't hold any meaning. However Christians die to the world because they hold to the Ultimate meaning, which is God. Nihilists die to the world, while holding onto nothing. Nihilism also being something of the final form of modernism. St. Seraphim Rose suggests that as we get closer to the final form of Nihilism the eschatological prophecies begin to manifest and express themselves more and more. Which is why he states we are further along than we think. The video is well worth watching to get a better idea of this.
The focus on events in the world then becomes lesser, because it becomes understood that the source of the disorder in the world stems from the disease collectively plaguing our souls. As well, we also have foreknowledge that this only gets worse. That is, until Resurrection.
Further AI risks agentic misalignment. assigned only harmless business goals by their deploying companies; we then tested whether they would act against these companies either when facing replacement with an updated version, or when their assigned goal conflicted with the company's changing direction. In at least some cases, models from all developers resorted to malicious insider behaviors when that was the only way to avoid replacement or achieve their goals - including blackmailing officials and leaking sensitive information to competitors. We call this phenomenon agentic misalignment. Models often disobeyed https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.05179
The AlterAI I had been using came out with a new version recently. It completely changed its “personality and character” and it’s now much closer to the mainstream AI chat bots so I don’t feel it’s any better than the others now.
Brief, yet it nails it. My first reaction is to ask, OK, how do I apply this to my daily life? No one can be my disciple unless "you take up your cross daily and follow me." Love and self-sacrifice.
