    tl;dr:

    Maus is a Unitarian Universalist, a pluralistic religion that’s rooted in the inherent worth of every person. In April, she argued that AI didn’t align with her religious beliefs, citing environmental and ethical concerns.

    Just so you know which religion to convert to.

      I mean, hypothetically couldn’t you just pick any belief structure outside of the top ten and make shit up? I’m a card carrying member of The Satanic Temple (which also puts an emphasis on human worth and social conscience) and I feel like I could swing this.

      There were already 100 reasons why the Unitarians are where it’s at.

      But I really don’t think this is reason 101. All we have here is someone who asked their employer for this and was fortunate enough to have it granted.

      That means nothing for anyone else. There is not some national law that all Unitarians have this protected right now.

      So yeah… you might as well try on grounds that it offends Allah, because you’ll have the same odds.

        Amish

        That was my first thought before even reading! OTOH they would probably oppose working with computers at all?

          As someone who lives near an Amish community, the amount of them I see in Walmart on cellphones tells me they’ve got at least enough loopholes to be shopping in Walmart with a cellphone, so “working with computers” is probably perfectly fine.

          …or you go straight to hell. IDK.
