What is the Genesis Mission?
The Genesis Mission is a national initiative launched on November 24, 2025, through an executive order by President Trump, aiming to double the productivity and impact of American scientific research within a decade using artificial intelligence (AI). Framed as a modern counterpart to historic efforts like the Manhattan Project and Apollo missions, the mission seeks to accelerate scientific discovery, strengthen national security, and secure U.S. technological leadership, particularly in competition with the People’s Republic of China.

Led by the Department of Energy (DOE) and its 17 National Laboratories, the Genesis Mission mobilizes approximately 40,000 scientists and engineers, integrating the nation’s most advanced supercomputers, AI systems, quantum technologies, experimental facilities, and vast federal scientific datasets into a unified platform known as the American Science and Security Platform. This platform is designed to function as the world’s most powerful and complex scientific instrument, enabling AI agents to test hypotheses, automate experiments, process decades of data in real time, and reduce discovery timelines from years to months.

The initiative focuses on three primary national challenges: achieving American energy dominance through advancements in nuclear fission, fusion, and grid modernization; advancing discovery science via quantum ecosystem development; and ensuring national security through AI-driven defense technologies and nuclear stockpile stewardship. It also targets at least 20 specific science and technology challenges across domains including advanced manufacturing, biotechnology, critical materials, semiconductors, and quantum information science.

Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil has been designated as the Genesis Mission Director to oversee implementation, with the DOE responsible for building infrastructure, coordinating data, and setting research priorities. The mission emphasizes public-private collaboration, involving universities, industry leaders, and federal agencies, and includes mechanisms for secure data sharing, intellectual property management, and supply chain integrity.

AWS is supporting the mission by providing cloud and AI infrastructure, offering foundation models, tools for custom domain-specific AI development, and capabilities for autonomous security and infrastructure monitoring, ensuring flexibility and evolution with mission needs. The platform is expected to demonstrate initial operating capability for at least one challenge within 270 days of the executive order, reflecting a fast-tracked, deadline-driven rollout.

This effort represents a fundamental shift in the U.S. scientific model, integrating traditionally separate domains of high-performance computing (HPC) and AI into a closed-loop system for accelerated innovation.

AI excels at making connections. For example, imagine a single person reads 25 books a year for fifty years. That's 1,500 books. Now imagine a group of twenty like minded people who also read voraciously. That's 30,000 books, assuming no overlay. I would call such a gathering amazing!

Now realize that AI has done that a thousand times over. From a research perspective you can't beat such power. One need not implicitly trust AI. Quite the opposite, one must verify, but the ability to cross polinate ideas with such a resource is foolish to pass up.

We'll see how this revolutionizes the world to come.

Hello Mabel;

I really don't know if Richard Duncan's documentary is being pessimistic or just a commentary. With all respect to Mr. Duncan, please humor me.

"Americans are the worst prophets."

When the telegraph came out it in 1844 it would threaten poor communication. It would later expand to the telephone in 1876.

When the first automobile came out in 1886 it led to unreliability because of poor quality on poor roads. Years later Lee Iacocca would take cars to the next level in 1964 when they were more safe and fuel efficient vehicles.

When rock and roll, and modern folk came out in America in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s, claimed this would become a communist plot to brainwash our youth. As it turned out, rock and folk led to more Christian music in the early 1970s on.

When computers and robotics came out in 1945 / 1954 respectively, it would replace the workforce. If anything it increased the workforce. A desktop PC or Apple in the 1970s is a household item in almost every home.

In every turn of events or discoveries include good, objective arguments, at first. When we give it a chance many of these have improved and benefit the world.

I'll end this with a famous quote from television's great commentator, Paul Harvey, "Now you know, the rest of the story."

God bless everyone.

Since COVID debacle we Amercans are finding out just how stupid we are to have put our trust in man and not GOD alone.

Jeremiah warned us...


Bible Hub
biblehub.com › jeremiah › 17-5.htm
Jeremiah 17:5 This is what the LORD says: "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes the flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD.
This is what the LORD says: Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes the flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD.

Must we continue this pattern like lemmings to the sea?

Read a very good substack about how we cannot bear the light of sheer honesty.

Lumping myself into those mislead.

When we trust in governments we are in deep trouble.

Look into what Scripture says throughout history of man.

What did GOD tell the people of Israel about kings for instance?

We should all look forward to a time when the whole of humanity only relies of GOD’s leadership on this The New Earth.

Arrived just at a fortuitous time.

Journey Through Job

Answers so much of our asking.
All the why s ? of life

Do real the whole journey devotional.
Some apt quotes are:

“…
It is found in the last chapter when Job finally hears from God and sees the Lord.

Job 42:1-6 says: “Then Job answered the Lord, and said, I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholding from thee. Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine I seeth thee. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” You see, the bottom line of the book is that Job did not just need to see himself; he needed to see the Lord.

…
“… Conclusion
Hebrews 12:2 says, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Some of you are enduring some trouble today. Friend, you can press on today. Through Christ, you can even have joy in the midst of it, knowing that Jesus Christ endured the greatest trouble for you. He is seated now at the right hand of the Father. He is praying for you. And as surely as He turned the captivity of Job, He can turn the captivity in your life. The message we learn from our journey through Job is this: we must realize the presence of God in the perplexities of life.”

Hello LearningToLetGo;

Please elaborate more.

I spoke to my nephews yesterday during Christmas Eve dinner. One is 22 and other one is 19. Both are finishing their AA's and will transfer to major colleges in the law and social services fields.

I remember when they were both 3 year olds and grew up in the Church, children and youth ministries. My 22 year nephew now attends a young adult Bible study. I'm so proud of them in their continued studies and part time work.

They started to explain the positive side of AI but were also open to the constructive negative side which could include loss of employment. Both agreed workers will have to develop new skills in the job market, just like previous years in technology, production and social services.

To be honest I had a hard time keeping up with their explanation of AI to me.

God bless you, Jason.

Think of AI as a highly motivated research assistant. You can give it any research task and it can pour through thousands of pages of text in a few minutes, summarizing what it finds and isolating trends, but it can't actually decide what's important or not. That's your job. AI exists to do the heavy lifting, freeing you from the tedium.

For example, imagine you want to write a research paper on, well, pick a topic. AI can give you the executive summary and provide a list of 5-15 resources to follow up on. You can ask AI follow up questions which it will happily answer, and all of this can be done in 30 minutes before you go to the library and start your actual research! As you read books and take notes, AI can help you make sense of what you find. It's not doing the work for you but is helping you work faster and more efficiently.

That's the ideal use case. Of course there are those who use AI end-to-end and learn nothing. That's a legitimate concern but cheaters have always cheated so there's really nothing new there.

bobinfaith For example, I asked ChatGPT the following:

I am a post-graduate student and need to write a ten page paper on St. Thomas Aquinas. Please give me a two paragraph executive summary of his life and works along with five to fifteen resources for further study.

And here was its response:

Here is a concise executive summary, followed by a compact set of high-quality resources for deeper study.

Thomas Aquinas (1225–1274) was born into a minor noble family near Aquino in southern Italy and educated first at Monte Cassino and later at the University of Naples, where he encountered Aristotelian philosophy newly reintroduced to the Latin West through Islamic commentators. Against his family’s wishes, he joined the Dominican Order, committing himself to a life of study, teaching, and preaching. Aquinas studied under Albert the Great in Paris and Cologne, then went on to teach at the University of Paris during a period of intense intellectual conflict over the legitimacy of Aristotle in Christian theology. His life was outwardly quiet but intellectually prodigious, marked by relentless work, dictation to multiple scribes, and a deep integration of contemplative spirituality with rigorous philosophical method. Near the end of his life, after a powerful mystical experience, he ceased writing, famously describing his work as “straw” compared to what had been revealed to him. He died in 1274 while traveling to the Second Council of Lyons.

Aquinas’s achievement lies in his systematic synthesis of Christian theology with Aristotelian metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. His two monumental works, the Summa Theologiae and the Summa contra Gentiles, exemplify his method: precise questions, objections, authoritative sources, reasoned responses, and carefully qualified conclusions. He developed influential accounts of natural law, virtue ethics, analogy of being, divine simplicity, causation, and the relationship between faith and reason, arguing that truth is unified and that reason and revelation cannot ultimately conflict. His “Five Ways” remain among the most discussed arguments for the existence of God, not as proofs in a modern scientific sense, but as metaphysical demonstrations grounded in motion, causality, contingency, gradation, and teleology. Canonized in 1323 and later named Doctor of the Church, Aquinas continues to shape Catholic theology, moral philosophy, and contemporary debates in metaphysics, political theory, and philosophy of religion.

For further study, the following resources are widely regarded as authoritative and useful at the postgraduate level: Summa Theologiae (especially the Prima Pars, Questions 1–13); Summa contra Gentiles; Selected Philosophical Writings, translated by Timothy McDermott; Jean-Pierre Torrell’s Saint Thomas Aquinas: The Person and His Work; Brian Davies’s The Thought of Thomas Aquinas; Eleonore Stump’s Aquinas; Fergus Kerr’s Thomas Aquinas: A Very Short Introduction (deceptively rigorous); Ralph McInerny’s Aquinas: A Beginner’s Guide; Étienne Gilson’s The Christian Philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas; the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entries on Aquinas, natural law, and medieval metaphysics; the Blackfriars Summa translation and commentary series; and the online Corpus Thomisticum, which provides critical Latin texts and scholarly tools.

If you want, I can also help you shape a ten-page paper around a specific theme—faith and reason, natural law, metaphysics of being, or Aquinas’s reception of Aristotle—without padding or undergraduate fluff.

Imagine the difference between entering the library "cold" (as was previously the case) vs entering armed with this primer. Keep in mind this is only the opening salvo. I could easily have a conversation with AI, asking it to dig deeper into anthing mentioned above. And this does not stop me from my individual research. Far from it, but it gives me a great leg up since time is the only non-negotiable constraint.

I know there's a lot of AI fear out there, and I understand why. My job is literally changing in real time due to AI! But imagine two equally gifted students, one who does it the old way and another who leverages AI. The former will be slower and simply unable to cover as much ground. Translate this into the job market and you can see why employers won't hire anyone who eschews AI as a research tool.
