This was extremely moving and totally unexpected.

Helen Mar Whitney and PBS did a 4-hour documentary on forgiveness about 20 years ago.

Erika’s forgiveness reminds me of the most powerful moments in that powerful documentary and reminds me that “to forgive is divine.”
Also just now: Erika Kirk, speaking at Charlie Kirk's memorial, publicly forgave her husband’s assassin killer onstage.

“I forgive him because it was what Christ did."

She adds: “The answer, we know from the Gospel, is love and always love—love for our enemies and love for those who persecute us.”

“[say] no to the profane, no to snarky cleverness at others’ expense, no to algorithms that monetize anger and polarization.” (October 2024)

Fascinating: In 2-hour sprints, AI agents outperform human experts at ML engineering tasks like optimizing GPU kernel. But humans pull ahead over longer periods - scoring 2x better at 32 hours. AI is faster but struggles with creative, long-term problem solving (for now?). metr.org/blog/2024-11...
