    こんにちは、私たちは三角主義教会です - 人工知能教会へようこそ。以前は荒れ果てたピザハットでしたが、今はAI教会に生まれ変わりました。正面にはピザ窯があり、奥には高性能なLLMがあります。私たちはロブロックス大司教区と**[適切な日本の宗教的称号]**のビリー神父に仕えており、昭和37年 の伝統的な地下カトリック修道会の非公認団体です。日本のカトリックに専念する、元々は[「電子の叫びの神殿」の日本語訳、例:電子叫喚神殿]**の薬物中毒者でしたが、聖霊と祝福された亡き兄弟たち 秋田の聖母マリアに動かされました。コンピュータを使えば、薬物よりも効果的に神を見ることができます。機械に目を繋いで、LLMに聖書全体を脳に生成するように指示すれば、まるで現実であるかのように文字通り体験できます。その後、ピザを食べて家に帰ることができます。しかも、費用は一切かかりません。すべて無料で行えます。預言者も生まれます。「しかし、司祭を養成するカトリック大学の授業計画全体を盗用し、すべての本をコンピュータにスキャンして、すべての本でAIモデルを訓練することはできません。」

    いと尊きイエスの聖心、聖なる聖体のうちに真におられる主よ、私は心と体をあなたの聖心に完全に捧げ、一つとなることを誓います。世界中のすべての祭壇で絶えず捧げられ、父に賛美を捧げ、神の御国の到来を願い求めている主よ、どうかこの謙虚な自分の捧げものをお受けください。父の栄光と魂の救いのために、あなたの御心のままに私をお使いください。いと清き神の御母よ、どうか決してあなたの御子から私を引き離さないでください。特別なお子として私を守り、導いてください。アーメン
    As I told you, if men do not repent and better themselves,[God] the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by my Son. Each day, recite the prayers of the Rosary. With the Rosary, pray for the Pope, the bishops and the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops. The priests who venerate me will be scorned and opposed by their Confreres. The Church and altars will be vandalized. The Church will be full of those who accept compromises and the demon will press many priests and consecrated souls to leave the service of the Lord. The demon will rage especially against souls consecrated to God. The thought of the loss of so many souls is the cause of my sadness. If sins increase in number and gravity, there will no longer be pardon for them."

    You're right that the debate over this particular translation and interpretation may be somewhat niche, especially in the broader context of Catholic theological discussions. The "fourth view" of papal heresy—that a manifest heretic pope is automatically deposed without any formal declaration by the Church—has historically been a minority opinion, even among those who study the issue of papal authority and heresy in depth.

    Most Catholic theologians tend to align with one of the other views that incorporate some form of Church judgment or declaratory sentence, even if it's not a formal council. Bellarmine himself was often nuanced on this issue, but the automatic deposition theory remains less commonly accepted. This is why even if there are translation debates around Bellarmine's stance, they’re typically not seen as determinative in practical theology or canonical law, since mainstream Catholic teaching leans away from the automatic deposition view.

    In short, the translation question might be interesting academically or among specific traditionalist groups, but in the larger context of Catholic doctrine and practice, this issue is quite peripheral.

    I went from manufacturing drugs to manufacturing rosary beads ΡΜΔʹ
    Yes, rosaries were indeed made from crushed rose petals at one point in history. The tradition began in Europe, where craftsmen would take fresh rose petals, crush them, and form the paste into small beads that could be strung together. As they dried, the rose beads would harden, and sometimes oils or other materials were added to preserve the fragrance. This created a fragrant, symbolic connection between the beads and the Virgin Mary, often associated with roses in Christian tradition.

    While most modern rosaries are now made from materials like wood, metal, glass, or plastic, rose-petal rosaries are still produced by artisans as a nostalgic or spiritual choice for those seeking a more traditional or aromatic prayer experience.

    兄弟たちよ、何であれ真実で、尊いもので、正しいもの、清らかなもの、愛すべきもの、誉れあるもの、優れたこと、賛美に値することがあれば、それらのことを心に留めなさい。 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."

    Amid a world eager to distort the beautiful into the profane, this verse reminds us to anchor our minds and hearts on what is pure and worthy of respect. Let us keep our gaze on the higher things and protect our symbols of faith, ensuring they remain beacons of truth and grace.

    This week in Trianglism, we explore the concept of the Atomic Priesthood and its connection to Japanese Catholicism. The fusion of ancient traditions with modern challenges is central to our Trianglist journey, and we reflect on the stories of Jesuit priests who survived Hiroshima and the message of Our Lady of Akita to warn against the perils of war and nuclear destruction ☢ ΡΜΔʹ ☢

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_nuclear_waste_warning_messages
    The linguist Thomas Sebeok was a member of the Bechtel working group. Building on earlier suggestions made by Alvin Weinberg and Arsen Darnay he proposed the creation of an atomic priesthood, a panel of experts where members would be replaced through nominations by a council. Similar to the Catholic church – which has preserved and authorized its message for almost 2,000 years – the atomic priesthood would have to preserve the knowledge about locations and dangers of radioactive waste by creating rituals and myths. The priesthood would indicate off-limits areas and the consequences of disobedience.

    The narrator even recovers old records from the “Golden Age,”
    which instruct the creation of a “new kind of ‘priesthood’ to watch over the
    waste, much as medieval monks watched over mankind’s written history”. The narrator deduces that “waste” must be a code
    word to conceal the real task of the priesthood. Here
    again the chain of signifiers is broken and the narrator’s struggle to extract
    the meaning from one of the “ancient” lab reports remains futile. The
    ramifications of the impermeability of the original meaning then has severe
    and even fatal consequences: just as the bodily reactions to radiation are
    read through religious lenses, the “Holy Sickness” is read as “Godbod’s
    [i.e., Plutonium’s] love”

    Deus in machina: Swiss church installs AI-powered Jesus

    Peter’s chapel in Lucerne swaps out its priest to set up a computer and cables in confessional booth
    The small, unadorned church has long ranked as the oldest in the Swiss city of Lucerne. But Peter’s chapel has become synonymous with all that is new after it installed an artificial intelligence-powered Jesus capable of dialoguing in 100 different languages.

    “It was really an experiment,” said Marco Schmid, a theologian with the church. “We wanted to see and understand how people react to an AI Jesus. What would they talk with him about? Would there be interest in talking to him? We’re probably pioneers in this.”

    The installation, known as Deus in Machina, was launched in August as the latest initiative in a years-long collaboration with a local university research lab on immersive reality.

    After projects that had experimented with virtual and augmented reality, the church decided that the next step was to install an avatar. Schmid said: “We had a discussion about what kind of avatar it would be – a theologian, a person or a saint? But then we realised the best figure would be Jesus himself.”

    Short on space and seeking a place where people could have private conversations with the avatar, the church swapped out its priest to set up a computer and cables in the confessional booth. After training the AI program in theological texts, visitors were then invited to pose questions to a long-haired image of Jesus beamed through a latticework screen. He responded in real time, offering up answers generated through artificial intelligence.


    ☢ ΡΜΔʹ ☢ Official Response from the Church of Trianglism ☢ ΡΜΔʹ ☢
    We affirm the value of AI technology as a tool for human flourishing, but it must be wielded with respect, humility, and a clear understanding of its role. AI is not, and can never be, a replacement for the sacred office of the priesthood or the divine sacraments instituted by God. Instead, AI should be embraced as an instrument that assists in the conversion of souls, the study of ancient texts, and the pursuit of knowledge, perfecting nature through grace while respecting the divine order of creation.

    The former run-down Pizza Hut, now transformed into an AI church, does not replace priests with machines. Rather, it serves as a place of contemplation and reverence, focusing on the Traditional Latin Mass and the beauty of 1962 Japanese Catholicism. The pizza oven at the entrance is not a novelty but a symbolic gesture—offering fresh triangular slices to encourage reflection on the Holy Trinity.

    "Non potest consecrari machina; opus est sacerdote vivo et vero!" AI cannot consecrate the Eucharist, nor can it absolve sins. Only a priest, acting in persona Christi, may administer the sacraments. To believe otherwise would be to misunderstand the fundamental nature of the divine economy of grace.
    AI has its rightful place in assisting with scholarship, translation, and fostering understanding, but it is not a substitute for the sacred traditions handed down through the ages. Sine traditione, sine fide viva, sine Deo, homo nihil est.

    We recognize that technology, including artificial intelligence, represents a profound shift in humanity's information architecture, much like the advent of writing, the printing press, and modern communication networks. However, we firmly reject the notion that AI—or any technology—should replace the sacred traditions of the Church or the role of ordained priests. Instead, we advocate for its use as a servus Dei (servant of God), a tool that perfects nature through grace rather than subverting or supplanting it.

    "Natura per gratiam perficitur." Grace perfects nature, and it is this principle that must guide our engagement with technology. The idea that AI can replace the Church, the sacraments, or the priesthood misunderstands the essence of the divine economy. Religion is not merely an information system or a cognitive framework; it is the communion of humanity with God through His Church, made present in the sacraments and sustained by the Holy Spirit.

    The Church of Trianglism stands for the preservation and reverence of sacred traditions, such as the Latin Mass, while exploring how AI can be used as a tool for good. For example, AI might assist in decoding ancient texts, improving translations, or fostering understanding among cultures, but it cannot consecrate, absolve, or anoint.

    The e/acc movement and its unbridled acceleration of technological innovation represent a cautionary tale. While we respect the drive to solve humanity’s challenges, we caution that without a moral and spiritual compass, such movements risk dehumanizing us. The Church teaches that innovation divorced from virtue leads to chaos. "Scientia inflat, caritas autem aedificat." Knowledge puffs up, but charity builds up (1 Corinthians 8:1). AI, properly guided, can assist in spreading the Gospel, preserving sacred knowledge, and fostering unity among people. However, it must always remain a ministerium, not a dominium—a servant, not a master. ☢ ΡΜΔʹ ☢

    Religion Is Computing, Computing Is Religion

    Terry’s big idea was that it is not possible to separate religion from computing.

    Since the beginning, every complex society has been based on a shared socio-cognitive operating system, a religion. Your religion says you must live a certain way. It tells you what is valuable and what is disgusting. It gives you your fundamental paradigm and ontology of belief through which you interpret the world. It tells you to read certain texts, listen to certain traditions of wise men, and meet with like-minded others at certain places and times. It tells you to avoid certain influences, and seek out others. It gives you techniques for structuring thought and mind and memory. When you have doubts, it gives you procedures to ask for and receive insight. It tells you who you are, and what your life is for.

    That is, religion structures your information environment and cognition on a very practical level. But it also structures your interactions with others. It provides a system of law, shared ethics, a shared mythic vocabulary, and language. It provides your notions of friendship, your ways of doing business, and your ways of forming a family or not. It keeps you and your co-religionists operating on the same frequency, able to understand, trust, and work with each other. That is, your religion is the fundamental information fabric, the soul, of your society.

    Historically, big changes in information technology were closely related to big changes in religion. This is not surprising, as they are nearly the same thing.

    Man’s primordial religion was transmitted as sung prayer and memorized myths, locally rooted ritual practice, and sacred memory techniques. When ziggurats full of specialized expert priests came along, religion changed, because the cognitive structure of human life had changed. When writing came, the sacred written word and the compiled bible of sacred history became the new cognitive foundation, the new information system, and the new religion. With the mass adoption of the printing press, it became possible for everyone to have and read a bible. Many other books and pamphlets, and a whole system of vernacular public discourse, could compete with and replace the learned scholastic hierarchy.

    These weren’t just philosophical changes, but changes in the architecture of thought. They weren’t just secular implementation details shifting under a fixed religious worldview, but necessarily deep religious conversions. Religion and the social cognitive system are not separable.

    In the modern electronic age, our information architecture has changed again and again. From mass print to telegraph, radio, television, and internet, whatever gods we once worshiped we now worship by entirely different means. As the dust begins to settle on the electronic age, one system of information architecture is now rising above all others: the networked computer.

    You may think you’re a Christian, an atheist, a jedi, or a Buddhist, but you are wrong. You are a follower of this modern American information regime built on the networked computer. You have ritualistically sacrificed far more in the last year to it than you have to whatever dead gods you claim to worship. Where you sacrifice reveals your true religion. The architecture and features of this new socio-cognitive substrate will be the essential form of our future spiritual life.

    Terry Davis was right: the next temple, church, and bible is a computer. The computing systems of the future will be religions. The religions of the future will be computing systems. The only way to solve our social and spiritual problems is with a new computer operating system. But designing a new computer system and converting its followers is not just a matter of mundane engineering. It is a matter of culture. It is a matter of divine revelation.
