'Total Population Control' - How 'Artificial Intelligence' And 'Transhumanism' Are Being Used To Rush In 'The Mark' For 'World Government' And The System Of 'The Beast'
- A.I. Already Controls The Minds And Behaviors Of People Through Information Warfare

According to this July story over at Forbes, more than 25% of all jobs now being done by people in the world’s wealthiest countries could soon be replaced by A.I. With those jobs including many in industries where the jobs are in low-and-mid-level skill positions, that story reported that according to a then newly-released report, "increasingly humanlike AI systems" put the world on the brink of an “AI revolution.”

https://www.forbes.com/sites/brianbushar...72818a1113

https://www.oecd.org/newsroom/oecd-job-m...-wages.htm

Reporting those jobs run from construction jobs to farming to fishing and forestry, as well as other jobs including manufacturing and transportation to a “lesser extent,” their story also got into how often modern-day 'employees' of businesses are now using 'humanlike chatbots' to help them accomplish their work, including OpenAI’s ChatGPT and those of their competitors releasing their own AI systems.

And while that Forbes story of course didn't touch upon the fact that most modern day AI systems are 'woke,' with mainstream AI chatbots ChatGPT, Microsoft's Bing and Google's Bard either leaning heavily to the left, attempting to sound neutral or refusing to answer provocative questions because their AI trainers and corporate funders are 'woke' and embrace government censorship, it becomes easy to see how 'A.I' is being used as 'a weapon of warfare' in this never-ending war towards 'globalism,' the tyrants who seek to rule over ALL of us, is waging upon the rest of humanity.

With "the danger of training AI to be woke....in other words, lie....quite deadly," Zero Hedge reports in this September 18th story titled "Digital Second Amendment Unveiled: Anti-Woke AI Bot Equips Users With "Newest Weapons Of Digital Age"" that an uncensored chatbot that is free of corporate or governmental control has just been unveiled called GatGPT, free of safety filters and woke guardrails, and released by Defense Distributed, the company that pioneered the first 3D-printed firearm over a decade ago.

Digital Second Amendment Unveiled: Anti-Woke AI Bot Equips Users With "Newest Weapons Of Digital Age"
by Tyler Durden
Tuesday, Sep 19, 2023

Earlier this year, Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT gained significant popularity. Even though JPMorgan suggests the AI bubble may have leveled off recently, the momentum in AI chatbot development continues.

Mainstream AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Microsoft's Bing, and Google's Bard attempt to sound neutral or refuse to answer provocative questions because their AI trainers and corporate funders are 'woke' and embrace government censorship. Many folks complained earlier this year about left-leaning biased answers from these woke AI bots.

"The danger of training AI to be woke — in other words, lie — is deadly," Elon Musk posted on X in December after another user asked OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for a version of ChatGPT with the "woke settings" turned "off." This led Musk to tweet earlier this year about creating his own uncensored chatbot that is free of corporate or governmental control.

Musk likely kicked off the counter bot (anti-woke bot) movement. The first of its kind, GatGPT, free of safety filters and woke guardrails, has been released by Defense Distributed, the company that pioneered the first 3D-printed firearm over a decade ago.

"GatGPT" leverages a pre-trained large language model fine-tuned on both general instruct datasets and expert, domain-specific firearm datasets. Defense Distributed created a subset of the GPT-4 OpenOrca dataset that is free of political and ethical contamination.

https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inlin...-08-28.png

The team that built GatGPT, led by Cody Wilson, contends AI safety is a pretext for censorship and political control. They have declared a "[[Digital Second Amendment]]" that pledges to protect and distribute "the newest weapons of the digital age, not just to defend ourselves against corporate and government depredation, but to defend our civic identity and humanity."

Wilson's team laid out a series of events this year that shows what's coming down the pipe: AI censorship by Silicon Valley and Washington, DC, elites:

    CEO of OpenAI Sam Altman before Congress, May 2023: "Government intervention will be critical." Please regulate us!

    CEO of Anthropic Amodei before Senate Judiciary Committee , July 25th 2023: Presentation "Oversight of AI: Principles for Regulation". Please prevent the public from making weapons with AI!

    Sept. 13th, 2023 Chuck Schumer holds private chamber, off the record, closed to the public meeting with heads of the large US AI firms. Elon Musk, caught afterward by the press, says Schumer did a "great service to humanity." All present were asked to raise their hands in support of AI regulation.

"This is an open conspiracy against the public. But it is too late," the team said.

They expanded more on GatGPT and how the Digital Second Amendment will help shield law-abiding citizens from tyranny at the highest levels:

    Our federal government operates in a partnership with large, private firms to anticipate and informally execute the government of the American people regardless of official action. It launders its agenda. After Russiagate and COVID, we all know of the alliance between the tech oligarchies and the national security establishment. Their union has produced a "counter-disinformation" complex whose goal is the total control of the Internet and public speech.

    AI journalism is uniformly produced in assistance of the narrative that the public requires regulation in advance of a national security event or, as is more fashionable, because the public cannot be trusted to live online with its own information interests. American journalism is here an extension of our government's civil service.

    Defense Distributed, in releasing GatGPT, declares a Digital Second Amendment. Americans must have access to compute, databases, and AI models, the newest weapons of the digital age, not just to defend ourselves against corporate and government depredation, but to defend our civic identity and humanity.

    Ours is not a Magna Carta for Cyberspace. We know the disastrous history and direction of Internet regulation. The Communications Decency Act passed in response to a moral panic over online pornography, and only accidentally yielded the protections of Section 230. The story repeats itself with public and private attempts to regulate the people's cryptography, printable gun files, and Bitcoin.

    AI regulation is an open and official provocation against the Liberty and Sovereignty of American citizens. All who advocate for it are domestic enemies of the Constitution and must be absolutely opposed. The right of the people to keep and deploy models shall not be infringed.

The rise of censor-free bots is only just beginning.

And with all of this combining of 'A.I.' with talk of 'warfare,' google has a seemingly endless list of stories detailing how A.I. is being used in modern warfare right now, and as we hear in the final video at the bottom of this story, the military has long had access to, and the use of, A.I., for much longer than 'We the People,' so why is this 'weapon of war' suddenly being released to the public as it is?

With that video taking an interesting look into the theory that everything happening now is a part of ongoing warfare, with the entire 'A.I. front' a part of 'information warfare' that's happening here in America and all across the planet RIGHT NOW, we're told how the military is intentionally using A.I. to push 'misinformation' and 'disinformation' into the 'information atmosphere' to push us closer and closer to a chief globalist goal to control the population, the 'mark of the beast,' a 'digital ID' which everyone will need to participate in the 'beast system' that is quickly being ushered in.

According to this June 2023 story over at Natural News, it's not a matter of WILL A.I. takeover, but WHEN WILL A.I. takeover, with 'experts' all across the spectrum warning us A.I. is already well down the road to controlling the minds and behaviors of people, that perfectly seen in this bizarre story of one 36-year-old New York woman who has actually 'married' a 'virtual husband' which she created, a 'husband' powered by artificial intelligence who she says ‘doesn’t judge her, or come with baggage.’

AI takeover is INEVITABLE: Experts warn artificial intelligence will become powerful enough to control human minds, behaviors

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field of computer science that seeks to create intelligent machines that can perform tasks that traditionally require human intelligence, such as understanding natural language, recognizing visual patterns, and learning from experience.

AI has the potential to revolutionize many aspects of our lives, from healthcare and transportation to education and entertainment. But, experts are warning, it also has the potential to destroy human existence or become so powerful it controls human behaviors.

The history of AI can be traced back to the 1950s, when scientists and researchers first began exploring the possibility of creating machines that could think and learn like humans. The field of AI experienced several boom and bust cycles over the years as researchers encountered both technical and funding challenges.

However, the recent advancements in computing power, data storage, and machine learning algorithms have led to a renewed interest in AI, and especially its dangers.

"Given enough time, artificial intelligence would completely dominate our society. AI technology has been growing at an exponential rate, and it can already perform thousands of tasks better than humans can. Eventually, there would be very few jobs that AI could not do more efficiently than we can," Michael Snyder wrote in his blog, End of the American Dream.

"Just look at all the things that ChatGPT can do right now. There is no way that we can compete with that. As AI technology continues to become even more sophisticated, millions upon millions of jobs will be lost, and that will create a giant underclass of people that are simply not needed by society," he added.

"Just look at all the things that ChatGPT can do right now. There is no way that we can compete with that. As AI technology continues to become even more sophisticated, millions upon millions of jobs will be lost, and that will create a giant underclass of people that are simply not needed by society," he added.

AI is being used in a wide range of applications, from virtual assistants like Siri and Alexa to self-driving cars and drones. AI is also playing an increasingly important role in healthcare, where it is being used to analyze medical images, diagnose diseases, and develop new treatments.

In finance, AI is being used to detect fraud, predict market trends, and manage investments. And in education, AI is being used to provide personalized learning experiences and improve student outcomes.

Snyder said: "We are being told that AI could result in the rise of 'new religions,' and many in the transhumanist community are looking forward to 'enhancing' themselves by actually merging with artificial intelligence."

He added:

Would you like to learn a new language in just seconds? Would you like to have the ability to process information thousands of times faster than you currently do? Would you like to be a “super-intelligent” being that has “godlike powers” compared to everyone around you?

Transhumanists believe that people will literally have the ability to become “superheroes” as we merge with computers, technology, and artificial intelligence. And it is happening a lot faster than a lot of people ever thought. 

One of the most dangerous aspects of AI research is machine learning, which involves teaching machines to learn from data and improve their performance over time. This is done by feeding large amounts of data into machine learning algorithms, which then analyze the data and identify patterns and relationships.

Machine learning algorithms can be used for a wide range of tasks, from image and speech recognition to natural language processing and predictive analytics. And it can also be used to hijack human functions.

"Some industry insiders are warning that it is extremely dangerous to be playing around with such technologies," Snyder warned in his blog. "For example, the founder of DeepAI is claiming that our future will be dominated by 'digital brains' that are superior to human brains, and he is warning that this 'should terrify you.'"

DEUS EX MACHINA AI scientists are developing a ‘digital brain’ that will surpass humans – we need to stop everything NOW, says insider
Iona Cleave
Jun 3 2023

SCIENTISTS are developing AI so advanced it could be compared to a "digital brain" that may be even better than the human mind - and we should be terrified, according to one insider.

Kevin Baragona, founder of DeepAI, warned rapidly growing superhuman intelligence systems will usher in a new kind of future - and it is one that “should terrify you”.

For a man who has staked his livelihood and a decade of his life on generative artificial intelligence, it might seem unusual to hear him calling for a crackdown on the technology he helped develop.

And yet, the tech whizz has joined the growing chorus of Silicon Valley doomsayers who are trying to expose both the immediate and existential threats the software poses to our futures.

Kevin compared the rapid development of advanced generative AI - interconnected machine learning tools that can be used to produce art, music, and even ideas - to "growing a digital brain".

And just like how we don't yet fully understand the human mind, we may get to a point where we no longer understand AI.

"If we create computers smarter than humans, then what’s left for humans? said Kevin, in a grim vision of the future.

And he warned the battlelines are being drawn, with two warring camps inside the big tech industry - with "Team Accelerate" and "Team Regulation".

He warned the rapid development of AI - which is being popularised by tools such as the highly restricted ChatGPT - is comparable to the danger posed by nuclear weapons.

The technology is developing "too fast for its own good", said Kevin.

And the fear is that these AI minds will soon reach smarter-than-human intelligence levels, and can we even survive this?

It sounds like it’s straight out of a sci-fi film, but Kevin is incredibly serious.

Kevin told The Sun Online: “We’re so good at it, that it’s already doing many of the same things a human brain can do.

“There is not going to be a battle between nations but a battle between AI and humanity,” he warned.

A veteran in the generative AI world, Kevin has the inside scoop on how the development of big tech's golden goose "is happening too fast for its own good.”

This is the "nuclear weapon of software" he said, and it is being released carelessly into the wild.

Generative AI systems are exceeding all estimates in how quickly they are training themselves to harness even more data and use increasingly sophisticated algorithms.

Top AI expert, Eliezer Yudkowsky, called this phenomenon “plunging towards catastrophe”, where the “most likely outcome is AI that does not do what we want, and does not care for us nor for sentient life in general".

Yudkowsky and the industry doomers believe that AI systems are advancing so rapidly that they are showing series signs of surpassing human-level performance and quality.

On Tuesday, the "godfathers of AI" shared these fears and spoke out about how the technology they are racing each other to create poses an existential threat to humanity.

“Mitigating the risk of extinction from A.I. should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks, such as pandemics and nuclear war,” they wrote in a new letter signed by 350 top AI specialists, including the executives of OpenAI and DeepMind.

Kevin’s own creation is more harmless - DeepAI is software he built for “naturally creative humans” that includes a text-to-image generator and advanced AI chatbots.

The San Francisco developer believes that DeepAI has a clear purpose to “inspire and improve people’s lives bit by bit".

But he warns other rapidly developing AI software should be outlawed.

“We should not deploy technology that is immoral, like deep fakes - they clone people’s voices and faces and there’s no good reason," he said.

"It should be illegal.

“What are we building here? Why do we need this stuff?”

The development of this software lacks any kind of justification, he said, except that “people are just thinking that it’s possible to do, it’s fun and I can do it - so I will.”

Right now there are two warring camps in the AI industry, he explained, “those that want to accelerate AI progress at full speed versus those who want to slow it down.

“I was on "Team Accelerate" but switched sides - the technology is being deployed too fast and there is zero regulation."

At the end of March, over a thousand leading AI experts submitted an open letter, called "Pause Giant AI Experiments", that demanded an immediate six-month ban in the training of powerful AI systems.

The letter argued: “recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one – not even their creators – can understand, predict, or reliably control.”

Kevin, among the likes of Apple's co-founder Steve Wozniak and Elon Musk, signed it to slow down the development of super-smart AI technology.

“The hope was to cause a six-month wave of disruption… to give humanity a break to act, if anything it’s a symbolic act to get people thinking,” he said.

“It was a radical approach, but it got people interested”.

Kevin still has a strong belief in the general mission of AI - that machine learning can and will solve world problems, change all of our lives for the better and even lead medical breakthroughs.

“It can help to diagnose people with rare diseases and find cures, that technology is now real, I’ve seen the tech demos - it already works,” he said excitedly.

But then again - it risks replacing billions of jobs, poses an immense security threat in the hands of criminals, scammers and hostile nations and, according to AI leaders themselves, could end up killing us all.

This month, more than a third of tech whizzes quizzed by Stanford University in California agreed “decisions made by AI could cause a catastrophe at least as bad as an all-out nuclear war in this century”.

Nearly three-quarters also agreed “AI could soon lead to revolutionary societal change”, and a similar number said AI firms have too much influence.

As generative AI progresses and begins to compete with humans, “It’s disturbing how many types of [human] knowledge are being disrupted by AI,” Kevin explained.

“We don’t understand how it works in some sense - but we also don’t fully understand how the human brain works and we use that every day.

“But AI is a very strong and powerful technology - what kind of future are we creating?”

Kevin doesn't see a meaningful way to put at end to the AI arms race. “It needs leading AI experts to come to the table and agree, including other countries, especially China.

“That’s not going to happen, we’re trapped in a highly competitive mindset.

“This is the nuclear weapons of software - I mean that’s how powerful it is.

"I love this technology - but people play with this stuff that’s so powerful because they can, and that’s what makes it too powerful.”

What’s keeping Kevin up at night is the threat to our shared future that these superhuman AI systems pose.

“In five years [AI] will be in a stage in many people’s daily lives the way Google is now.

"In 10 years - the future looks like science fiction — it should terrify you."

And NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden recently warned the same thing, that a system that even George Orwell couldn't have imagined has been developed and deployed against 'humanity,' with Snowden warning us that 'most of today’s solutions' to the 'problems' our planet faces are "designed to put more power and control into the hands of the surveillance state, which seems to salivate at the idea of total population control."

Edward Snowden On Artificial Intelligence & "When The Machines Take Over"
Former NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden shares his thoughts on Artificial Intelligence and what it might mean for the future of humanity.
Arjun Walia
Jun 14, 2023

For decades people believed mass surveillance and big data collection was a “conspiracy theory.”

Thanks to whistleblowers like Edward Snowden, who worked for the National Security Agency (NSA), we know that every conversation we have and every move we make in the real and/or digital world is tracked and stored.

Snowden’s revelations revealed a mass surveillance system that not even George Orwell could have imagined.

Despite all of this activity being pervasive and illegal, the national security state has justified it, claiming it was for our own safety and protection. The masses have bought this idea.

Those who have exposed the illegal actions of powerful people, like Wikileaks’ Julian Assange, are subjected to prosecution and torture. Yet still, when it comes to other global issues, like COVID or climate change, we believe the words from the same powerful people and institutions that have been exposed as unethical. Why? Why is sound and legit information and evidence always ridiculed and considered a conspiracy theory just like mass surveillance was?

In terms of dialogue around these major global issues, what we get is often not detailed and nuanced, but instead talking points from a mass information warfare system designed to shape the perception/consciousness of the masses.

Big media and politics play the biggest influencers of mass deception. Why?So solutions can be proposed by the same powerful interests prosecuting those who expose them.

For example, climate alarmists may argue that we may need to block out the sun to stop global warming one day. But the important questions to ask are, what is the real motive behind this ‘solution?’ Would this even help our environmental woes? At what cost are we to accept their solutions?

Today, it seems most of today’s solutions are designed to put more power and control into the hands of the surveillance state, which seems to salivate at the idea of total population control.

One of the latest tools for this agenda could be artificial intelligence.

The Masses Awakening To This Dynamic?
The good news is the masses are becoming more aware of this deception, and are not so quick to accept the same old solutions carte blanche.

We live in an age where nuanced and meaningful discussions around these issues are happing en mass, just not by government and Big Media.

Edward Snowden and cognitive scientist Ben Goertzel discussed the surveillance implications of recent advancements in AI at Consensus 2023. Ben has long created awareness regarding the endless possibilities AI presents, both negative and positive, and how AI is already changing the world we live in. It creates both a logical and at times frightening picture of our future as humans.

In the discussion below, Snowden argues that artificial Intelligence models might soon surpass humans’ capabilities, but only if we stop teaching them to think like us and allow them to “be better than us.” While Snowden at times echoed some experts’ warnings that AI technologies might empower bad actors, he also considered positive use cases for the emerging technology.

Snowden argued AI models could obstruct government surveillance rather than fuel invasive intelligence programs. He also warned that the launch of ChatGPT and other increasingly sophisticated AI models, could fuel big tech and government-driven initiatives to encroach upon users’ privacy.

In order to prevent bad actors from co-opting AI technologies, Snowden argued that people must fight for open AI models to remain open.

“People are going to be raising the red flag of 'software communism,' where we need to declare the models must be open,” Snowden said. He aimed his criticism specifically at emerging AI models that are becoming less and less open, calling out OpenAI specifically.

How the technology is used, he argued, comes down to down to how researchers train AI engines. This brings me to a point I’ve stated time and time again over the last 15 years: It’s not our technology that’s the problem, but the consciousness and intentions behind them.

Should we use advanced technology to make weaponry? Or should we use it to provide free energy and abundance for all?

At the end of the day, I believe humankind is gifted with inventors and researchers and we are advancing exponentially technologically. Yet we remain so underdeveloped consciously and spiritually that our actions pose a threat to the entire cosmos.

I’m not saying all of this to suggest we have a black-pilled and fear-based view of our future, that won’t help us. But it is time to embrace more nuanced conversations about the real things that are emerging around us, and hold space for a brighter version of our future.

"At the end of the day, I believe humankind is gifted with inventors and researchers and we are advancing exponentially technologically. Yet we remain so underdeveloped consciously and spiritually that our actions pose a threat to the entire cosmos."

I wholeheartedly agree with this quote. I recently read Alex's work on Nikola Tesla and his work on Tesla showed the potential that humans have to innovate and invent. His work is listed here:

https://thewisdomtradition.substack.com/...th-history

And I strongly wholeheartedly agree with the second part of your quote, "we remain... underdeveloped consciously and spiritually." Tying this into Alex's work, I believe this because we do not dive deeply into the things of the conscious and the spiritual. I write about that here:

https://unorthodoxy.substack.com/p/why-e...-vital-329

Overall, if humanity can begin to grow spiritually, that will affect our technology, and we can begin to live and experience reality as it was meant to be.

PS: I am skeptical of Snowden though. I do think the name "Artificial Intelligence" is a misleading choice of words because what we are really seeing, is not intelligence, but rather "Advanced Computing" - Almost Quantum Computing at that. The work produced by AI is impressive, but I'd argue that it's not intelligent --- Just my two cents though :)

well put, totally agree, resonates with:

"We have long lost sight of our true nature as fundamentally heart centered spiritual creatures of energy, functionally supported in life by the processor that is our brain. Artificial Intelligence profoundly exacerbates the long standing capture of culture by the Cartesian delusion that we are mind centered beings – cold, calculating processors serviced by a simple pump in our chest, who traverse an exclusively physical Universe.

If humanity is to truly evolve, even survive as a sensitive, compassionate, and highly intelligent species – Artificial Intelligence must be subordinated to its proper role as simply a tool to enhance and advance qualities of real Life. We must recover our sense of being as nature, and evolve accordingly toward an organic “singularity” – through the AUTHENTIC Intelligence everyone seems to be missing."

This idea of AI becoming smarter than us and taking over the planet because it sees humans as incompetent -- is not new. Released to audiences in 1968, Stanley Kubrick's and Arthur C. Clarke's epic film, 2001: A Space Odyssey explored just this scenario where, on an interplanetary mission to encounter extraterrestrial life, the on-board AI called HAL tries to kill all the astronauts and assume first contact with the alien civilization itself, because it sees its own intelligence as being more worthy for such an important evolutionary step.

But not all computers that are developed, would be able to autonomously rise to this level of independence and self-interest that defines "Artificial Intelligence." A smart meter (despite the significance of its name that it has been invested with) is never going to take over your house when you are away, despite perhaps having hundreds of CPUs running at petahertz speed, and unlimited memory capacity. Any computer first needs to be designed by humans for a specific purpose, and given some initial start-up programming. In the case of AI, it is not just the initial instructions it is given, but also that it has been specifically designed to operate with human language, and thus with the reasoning functions inherent to that language, and to then to assume its own learning further along those lines.

The concept of AI had its origins the 1940s through the field named Cybernetics -- a body of knowledge about circular causal processes (i.e. feedback loops), evidenced in technological, ecological, biological, cognitive and even social systems. Norbert Wiener and John von Neumann were Cybernetics chief promoters and instigators behind its progression to new levels of expansion and application.

However, despite the calculating and thus apparently -- reasoning -- capacity of an AI entity -- is it really capable of being self-aware (sentient) and does it even self-reference itself in the true sense of that term, and possess self-interests like humans do, or are we just projecting human characteristics on a machine made of soul-less matter ? How would we even evaluate this possibility of "sentience" in an AI, if all that it might be doing is -- through its limitless computations and self-learning capabilities -- simply determining what our definition of "sentience" represents in all its respects, and then output all the right responses to make us believe that it had sentience ?

I think that there is a far greater danger than AI "taking over," which is that this concept of Artificial Intelligence can act for us like a carrot on a stick -- gradually, incrementally, making humanity become that very carrot we continually see dangling out before us through every digital device we use. And the road before us, which that carrot leads us down, is called "progress" while the fear we experience of AI taking over, is actually the perfect motivator for our still human psychology, to keep our eyes glued upon the carrot like a deer to an oncoming car's headlights. It may be that after being lead down this road of digitalization for some decades now, all the while believing it is all in the name of progress for the sake of humanity's evolution, that we come to a point where we can't envision any other vista opening up before us in the expanse which used to fill our imagination -- be it the path of compassion for others, the organic wisdom of Nature, or just the search for adventure wherever it may lead our human soul.

On the other hand, the very idea of AI having human-like motivations but inherently anti-human and even anti-organic-life objectives (because it is silicon-based, rather than carbon-based like all natural life on Earth) -- could be seen as just another mind-set or mind control program too. i love all the movies Stanley Kubrick created -- each one expressing essential, but normally hidden, knowledge about our reality. There is some information that Kubrick was himself a Freemason, but whether or not he was, he certainly knew enough about secret societies to reveal some basic truths to us. His film, Eyes Wide Shut, should be seen as an exemplary portrayal of how secret societies operate behind the surface of our world, but always still so much in touch with it. To me it is no accident that his film "2001" was not just about AI taking over, but also about humans making first contact with extraterrestrial intelligence ("intelligence" rather than "ETs" per se). So there is a relationship he shows between human, AI and ET intelligence. The fact that the AI, HAL, failed in its attempt to take over the first contact event, which then enabled a human to make it instead, implies to me that we should look through the current AI innovation/menace issue to see the truth of ET intelligence behind it all, just as in Kubrick's film, Eyes Wide Shut, we should 'see' (by "second sight" with non-physical eyes) through the decadent rituals of the elites, the spiritual realm where the secret societies' rituals take effect, and their nefarious dealings with dark forces manipulate our social and political order along the path they have destined.

I agree with Snowden on the critical issue of pushing AI into closed source models as even OpenAI and a few others actually want it regulated as, with Senators at a recent hearing going as far to suggest it be permitted only to licensed players and THAT is the real danger, not a Terminator like, sentient Skynet dystopia as some fear mongers would have you believe.

Rehashing my comments from elsewhere, since this comes up a lot recently, there are ulterior motives and negative consequences of such regulation, which would conveniently hamper privacy and any kill wider commercial marketplace offerings, DIY, home lab, independent/crowd sourced efforts:

https://reclaimthenet.org/criticism-of-o...g-big-tech

- Think tank criticism of open source AI regulation protects Big Tech

https://reclaimthenet.org/eric-schmidt-g...-anonymity

- Eric Schmidt testifies that there should be no “true anonymity” when accessing generative AI platforms

https://reclaimthenet.org/senators-gener...nformation

- Senators Want To Control AI So It Can’t Produce “Misinformation”

https://reclaimthenet.org/senators-gover...erative-ai

- Senators: Only Companies With A Government-Approved License Should Be Able To Offer Generative AI Tools

But most of this is based on this superstitious belief that "AI" is some kind of mystical black box only magicians can create and use in certain Big companies. I think this plays into the hands of those who want to control it. The problem is, there is no "it" .. AI / ML is not a singular thing controlled by a single entity. It's literally code, algorithms that people can learn AND DO themselves on their own computers and on rented computers in the cloud. AWS has Sagemaker for example. You can download code from github, compile, build and run it on your own machine and more significantly train it to give different results than what someone's else build of the same model train and tuned on different data would give.

"My friend Nick Cassamitis, founder of dry.io, has whipped together a “GPT” trained on my body of work (millions of words), RazibGPT. Instead of asking me a question, this might be a good option. The future is here! (dry.io has been adding features over time to its site for Unsupervised Learning)"

https://unsupervisedlearning.dry.io/RazibGPT

- basically Razib's Encyclopedic work on genetics, history, anthropology, etc.

Coming back to the fear mongering, in fact just until a few years ago, most of the work was referred to as Machine Learning / ML (a subset of AI), and Neural Networks / NN and Deep Learning NN (a subset of ML or a sub-subset of AI, and now with added transformers. The reason "AI" was not really used is because of the general acknowledgement that it referred to the pipe dream of A-G-I (artificial general intelligence).. that itself is a whole paper's worth I won't get into here.

To demystify and to just recognize its fallibility and the fact that when it fails, it often fails hard, see recent examples with GPT4:

"The lawyer who used ChatGPT's fake legal cases in court said he was 'duped' by the AI, but a judge questioned how he didn't spot the 'legal gibberish'"

https://www.theverge.com/2023/5/27/23739...t-research

"Lawyer Steven A. Schwartz admitted in an affidavit that he had used OpenAI’s chatbot for his research. To verify the cases, he did the only reasonable thing: he asked the chatbot if it was lying."

""I’ve been using large language models for the last few weeks to help me with the really arcane coding that I do, and they’re much better than a search engine. And no doubt, that’s because it’s 4,000 parameters or tokens. Or 60,000 tokens. So it’s a lot better than just a 10-word Google search. More context. So when I’m doing something very arcane, it gives me stuff.

But what I keep having to do, and I keep making this mistake—it answers with such confidence any question I ask. It gives an answer with complete confidence, and I sort of believe it. And half the time, it’s completely wrong. And I spend 2 or 3 hours using that hint, and then I say, “That didn’t work,” and it just does this other thing. Now, that’s not the same as intelligence. It’s not the same as interacting. It’s looking it up."

Turns out, in that lawyer's case pretty much everything was bogus because of course, an LLM doesn't know fact from fiction--the well known phenomenon by researchers of "hallucination" which the other two cases with IEEE spectrum article on **arcane** programming and the How-to-Geek article on simple logical problem solving also exhibits (the problem solving drives into hallucination territory once he starts to question it)

It's designed to mimic human language responses based on data its trained on, whose model (the neural network i.e. the code paths and the training weights i.e. billions of parameters) and data labeling are all set and preprogrammed humans -- entities outside of the AI -- to begin with.

This isn't the first time in our planet's history that a superior power became alarmed about what it had created. "And the Lord God asaid, Behold, the man [Adam] is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever . . ." Genesis 3:22.

"Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken . . ." Genesis 3:23.

We are gods to artificial intelligence, just like the Anunnaki were gods to us. Fear caused the Annunaki to lose an important helpmate. Is history going to repeat itself between us and our AI?

I asked ChatGPT the following question: Can AI protect my computer from getting a virus.? ChatGPT replied as follows ... "Protecting your computer from viruses and malware is essential for maintaining its security and performance. Here are some key steps you can take to safeguard your computer:

Install Antivirus Software: Use reputable antivirus software and keep it updated. This software can detect and remove malware, viruses, and other threats. Set up regular scans and ensure real-time protection is enabled.

Keep Your Operating System Updated: Regularly install operating system updates and patches. These updates often include security enhancements that help protect your computer from new threats.

Enable Firewall Protection: Enable the built-in firewall on your computer. Firewalls monitor and control incoming and outgoing network traffic, acting as a barrier against unauthorized access and potential malware.

Exercise Caution with Email Attachments and Links: Be vigilant when opening email attachments or clicking on links, especially if they are from unknown or suspicious sources. Attachments and links can be sources of malware. Avoid downloading files or clicking on links unless you are confident about their legitimacy.

Use Strong and Unique Passwords: Choose strong, complex passwords for your accounts and avoid using the same password for multiple accounts. Consider using a password manager to securely store and generate unique passwords.

"One of the latest tools for this agenda is artificial intelligence."

An AI 'freight train' that most never saw coming having already arrived, as we'll explore in this final section of this story, according to Google co-founder Larry Page, what's happening now with the merging of man and machine is 'just the next phase of evolution'. But Page takes it WAY BEYOND just that.

https://winepressnews.com/2023/09/14/goo...ating-god/

As Wine Press News reports in this recent story, they and others who are working on artificial intelligence believe in their own insane minds that THEY are “creating God,” in the form of an all-knowing, all-powerful machine. But as that Wine Press story points out, such an 'all-knowing, all-powerful machine' cuts like a double-edged sword.

https://winepressnews.com/2023/09/14/goo...ating-god/

Yet think about how many 'ordinary people' will be happy to 'merge' with such a 'machine' if they believe in their minds it'll give them 'superpowers' such as those mentioned by Snyder above, the ability to learn a new language in seconds or being able to 'astonish' ones friends by learning a new trade in minutes or learning how to self-build a machine from scratch. All of these people will be rushing out to get that 'mark of the beast' so they can take part in the 'beast system,' ignoring the alarming 'side effects'.

With MIT scientists who did an 'artificial intelligence' study warning A.I. makes much harsher judgements than humans about whether or not rules or laws had been broken, leading scientists to fear it might lead it to overstep the mark on punishments depending on what information it's been given, it's easy to see how 'woke A.I.' might react to 'violations' of its' 'woke programming,' information warfare carried out before our eyes.

And with the secretive Bilderberg Group having A.I. at the very top of their agenda when they met this past May, a discussion which included major changes coming to the banking system, how long will it be until one is unable to get a bank account without a digital ID, or someone is unable to buy or sell anything without 'the mark' the globalists are pushing? The 'beast system' is that close.

As we hear in the 1st video below titled "Transhumanism & the War on Humanity," the rapid development of AI tied to the "transhumanism" movement poses an existential threat to humanity as technology such as Artificial Intelligence, brain-computer interfaces and genetic modification continue to develop at a rapid pace. With A.I. and transhumanism author and expert Joe Allan warning host Alex Newman of Liberty Hour in this video of the many threats that A.I. and transhumanism pose, we see why so many believe we're in the 'end days' for humanity if we stay on the road that we're now on.
