What should Christians take away from that? Like, should we all be users of DeepSeek R1 and stay away from the other models? What should we conclude as sort of normal Christians using LLMs from your benchmark project?
16:08
Yeah, definitely don't use deep seek because of the Chinese censorship piece.
16:12
And they're probably definitely feeding your data to the Chinese Communist Party.
16:18
I do think there's probably four big takeaways from the Christian benchmark report.
16:23
So the first would be.
16:25
And I think we really haven't reckoned with this yet as humanity.
16:31
And that's basically the idea that as creatures, we're moving away from acquiring knowledge directly from primary sources to acquiring knowledge indirectly from from secondary sources, all mediated by generative AI.

54:52
And what does a distinctively Christian hope for the future look like, distinct from the sort of techno-optimism you often see in AI circles?

44:23
But Michael, what do you think about that new poll that we talked about, uh, University of New Hampshire?
44:27
So, uh, the, the, the thing about the UNH survey is they use a panel.
44:31
They don't do a poll.
44:32
They have a panel, group of, you know, 2,000 people who've agreed to be surveyed, that kind of thing.
44:36
So at NH Journal, our strategy is it's not great for location, but it's good for direction.
44:42
You know, it shows you, are, you know, are you, are you moving up or down? The, the mile markers aren't great, but you know if you're in the north or south lane.
44:48
And so the bad news for Democrats is that, uh, Representative Chris Papas, four-term representative, you know, viewed as a shoo-in to be the next US senator to replace Jeanne Shaheen, he's gone from 65% approval down to the 40s in this same panel.

46:19
So when did the Republican super PAC get set up to help fund her campaign?
11:05
Yes
11:05
...
11:06
Joe Biden territory.
11:07
This is him at Club Matlock, you know, doling up the tapioca, and I was at the first house party he did in Nashua, and I left it, and all these reporters are going, "Oh my God, he's so good.
11:19
He's so blah blah." And I said, "He's so old.
11:21
Look at...
11:21
You think they're gonna n- they're gonna nominate that guy? Look how old he is." And that was in 2020.
12:59
Yep.
2:07
Mm-hmm.
2:08
So to separate from what would be the FAA, the regulator side.
2:12
Um, a- and then we were under DOT at the time, and then eventually in '74 Congress separated us out and said, "Wait, you know, all these regulatory agencies and transportation, uh, report up through the DOT, but yet we want a kind of an oversight agency-"

67:13
Yeah
67:13
...
67:13
in the military.
67:14
Way, way better than we ever are in the, the civilian world.
67:17
But when I sat down to brief a flight off a carrier, I always had just this little uneasy feeling in my gut.
13:13
Mm-hmm
13:13
... between large tech liking the AI trade and then, you know, feeling like, um, you know, as tensions ease in the Middle East, oils comes down, maybe the Fed gets a little more constructive, the other parts of the market are kinda performing well.
13:26
Today was a little bit of an outlier.
13:27
Everything was kinda down today.
13:29
But in general, it doesn't really change the way we look at earning season.
13:32
You know, we feel pretty constructive about large tech in general.
13:36
Um, we do think earnings have some upside.
14:07
There's a rational separation of relative winners and losers, but that also helps explain kind of the valuation compression, uh, as does, I guess, the market's unwillingness to sorta underwrite 24% earnings growth as if it's, you know, gonna be clear on from here multiple quarters, and that it's also free of these concerns that some of the groups driving it are over-earning.
2:43
So I think I'd love to just start out by just understanding how you became involved in medical legal research.
2:51
Yeah, great question.
2:53
So yeah, like you'd mentioned, I've been a medical librarian meeting the information needs of a large medical group and healthcare system for 20 years.
3:03
And Eight years ago, I had an agency reach out to me completely out of the blue.
3:08
I wasn't looking for this work, didn't know it was a thing or a need.
3:12
And they said, hey, we have a small boutique law firm.
3:18
They have three attorneys, and they're really mired in a very medically complicated med mall case.

20 MINS LATER

23:34
Like I don't know if the nurses have, I guess I don't know exactly who else can have access to it.
24:18
[laughs]
24:18
I may have, I may have put, like, an X-ray or something [laughs] in there before.
24:23
Um, yeah.
24:24
Okay, so use cases.
24:27
SoUm, I have a pretty simple grid of how I think about just about everything, okay? So everything boils down to triangles for me, okay? And this comes from a theologian who used to be a professor at RTS Orlando named John Frame.
24:42
And John Frame has, has this thing called tri-perspectivalism, and here's how it works.
24:48
It's, you know, because humans are made in the image of God, and because God is triune, we reflect his triunity.

7 MINS LATER

31:43
But, but if we're gonna address some of the concerns too, because they are, there are concerns, um, do you, do you really identify job loss as something that should be one of our leading concerns? Or, or would you locate that somewhere else?
