Title: EX-Google employees should not be allowed to bread
Post by: Mackin USA on November 16, 2017, 12:45:23 PM
A former executive at Google has filed paperwork with the IRS to establish an official religion of technology. This religion doesn't just worship scientific progress, but artificial intelligence itself, with the goal of creating a godhead.

I'm not sure if this is real or just some rich person's way of stirring the pot -- perhaps to get people to start talking more about the issues.

Stirring, I think.

Besides, isn't The Church Of The Flying Spaghetti Monster already the unofficial official religion of technology?

It is not uncommon to see Flying Spaghetti Monster car decals around here.
