    > I really enjoyed the work, and for a while I told myself it was relatively harmless, but over time God forced me to confront the reality that the main impact of these tools will be to accelerate the design of a new breed of AI chips...

    There's no arguing with someone who claims God forced them to do something, but I do wish this person good luck in whatever they do next.

        It definitely is not. You’ll find that people that call it God never put it into question as one would their conscience.

        Few things are as indicative of mental instability than someone believing God is speaking to them directly. The schizophrenic ward is full of these.
