The New Status Symbols in the Age of Superintelligence
When intelligence and technical skill become cheap, what remains rare? Moral virtue, Christian piety, and the daily work of building a faithful family.
A Father Cannot Be Automated
AI should free a father’s time for his family, not take his place in it. The most important work of a man’s life cannot be automated.
Silicon Valley Has a Theological Problem
Silicon Valley’s secular evangelists spent years treating religion as something humanity would eventually outgrow. Just give them enough intelligence, enough information, and enough technological progress, and they could leave all that behind. Or so they thought. Now the AI companies are calling the theologians. Suddenly religion matters again, funny how…
Why They Want You To Fear AI
I spent the last decade defending free speech on the internet and I expect to spend the next decade defending freedom in AI. That means open models, open access, permissionless innovation, and the right to build, experiment, publish, and compete without having to ask Silicon Valley executives or Washington bureaucrats…
Faith In The Age of AI
I run Gab, and we are building Gab AI. I have no interest in comforting Christians with predictions about what computers will supposedly never be able to do. These tools can already produce useful work and they are going to keep improving. Betting your understanding of human dignity on a…
The Data Center Discussion
Most Americans still have no idea what artificial intelligence can actually do. Their experience with AI largely begins and ends with the viral frenzy of 2022 when they opened ChatGPT asked it to write a poem or make a joke, played around with image generators, and then moved on with…
Gab Turns 10: Ten Years of Free Speech and Building for the Future
Ten years ago today Gab began with a simple conviction: ordinary people should be able to speak freely online without asking permission from governments, political activists, corporate gatekeepers, or a handful of unaccountable Silicon Valley executives. At the time that conviction seemed almost obvious. The Internet was still routinely described…
Prologue
The following post is the prologue to my new book The Christian Nationalist Vision. My journey to Christian Nationalism started with repentance. I grew up in the church and I never stopped believing in Jesus Christ, but like a lot of men I learned to keep Him in a box.…
What Kind of Christian Are You?
You are losing your home. Not in some metaphorical or spiritualized sense, but in the most concrete way possible. The country your fathers built is being handed over piece by piece while the people doing the handing tell you that noticing the transfer is the real crime. Your schools do…
Our Vision For The Post-Liberal Age
Our world runs on a lie so foundational and pervasive that most people cannot see it even when it is pointed out directly to them. The “fish in water” metaphor illustrates this problem well with how the most obvious and all-encompassing realities of our lives are often the hardest for…
What is a Nation?
Before we can fix anything about our current situation we must return to first principles and answer the question: what is a nation? Words matter. The English word nation originates from the Latin natio which means birth, race of people, or tribe. It comes from natus, the past participle of…
Washington Post Tested Gab AI. Here’s What They Missed.
Many of you have reached out about the recent Washington Post study comparing Gab AI to some of the largest AI labs in the world. First, let’s pause on how remarkable that is: Gab AI was included in the same conversation as companies spending billions of dollars on artificial intelligence.…
You Are Not The Main Character
The defining mark of our age is narcissism. We have built a society of people who believe every relationship exists to affirm them, every institution exists to serve them, every hardship is an injustice against them, and every other human being is a supporting character in the story of their…
Gab’s Community Focused Engineering Update
Over the past several months the Gab engineering team has been heavily refocused on something that should have never been neglected in the first place: listening to you. We went back to the community, dug through your feedback, your bug reports, your frustrations, and your feature requests, and we got to work. The result is hundreds of issues resolved, significant performance improvements across the platform, and a stack of new features that make Gab better than it has ever been.
