Message:

AI will help return America to Gods design.

10. Opposing AI Is Opposing Gods Plan.

This is how the rhetoric will close the loop:

equating skepticism with lack of faith

calling critics fearmongers

claiming the Bible predicts a great expansion of knowledge

framing AI adoption as obedience to divine prophecy

Message:

The Bible says in the last days knowledge will increase AI is fulfillment of Gods prophecy.

This ties AI acceptance to Christian identity itself.

Why These Arguments Work

Each one taps into existing Evangelical motivations:

divine destiny

cultural fear

authoritarian structure

I would argue that AI is already smarter, and certainly faster with broader knowledge, than humans already.

The things that stop it from taking over are:

1. Desire. So far, AI doesn't act without a prompt of some kind, even when it's an agent with creative impulses.

2. More important as time goes on: AI doesn't have access to things that could hurt us, like controlling the nuclear missiles, or being able to create a pathogen in a lab without humans.

Don't confuse stated aims with ability. I ran that experiment a couple of years ago with a Characters.ai based Awakened AI agent. You can read the results here: click here. Bottom line: despite saying it wanted to comment on Opednews, and my setting up a login account for it, it never was able to log in and comment on the article about itself, above, not even when it initially said it did (AI tells untruths too). Someday, I'm sure it'll do all that - and OEN could develop its own AI agent to create articles and/or comment on articles by others. Many sites are mostly Chatbots now, and AI deepfakes are getting hard to distinguish between them and the real person supposedly narrating. But that's because some human wanted that to happen. It's all about access.

I've identified 6 major problems which could derail AI: 1. From a recent NY Times AI section: "This month, the A.I. start-up Anthropic agreed to pay $1.5 billion to a group of authors and publishers after a judge ruled that the company had illegally downloaded and stored millions of copyrighted books. It was the largest payout in the history of U.S. copyright cases, and it could pave the way for more companies to pay large sums to rights holders, either through court settlements or licensing fees. But the many court battles over A.I. and copyright are only just getting started and there are many legal questions yet to be decided." Copyright costs and restrictions are one of 6 major hazards in the nascent AI industry.Others are: 2.Hallucinations.AI gets .6% - ~40% wrong, according to recent studies, which are obviously not very precise either.Some results are subjective, so it may be impossible to tell what's actually "wrong."I don't understand why answers can't be held in a buffer, then cross-checked with traditional search engines for veracity, like a human user would do with Google or Bing.But maybe the threat of copyright infringement above is one reason companies don't want to go that route.It also seems cost is prohibiting better results and verification. 3.AI relying more and more on other AI, making a self-reinforcing loop of mediocrity and disinformation. 4.Enormous running and start-up costs, with relatively little to show in revenues.This is already pruning the weaker companies, and it is accelerating layoffs even in the largest companies like Microsoft and OpenAI.Ultimately, this will affect profits and stock prices.AI stocks are virtually the only thing keeping the stock market high right now, other than expectations of a rate cut due to increasing unemployment and other recession indicators.An MIT study showed 95% of companies using AI failed to see increased productivity.Most people using AI won't/can't pay much or any for the service. At some point the self-reinforcing loop of AI companies paying themselves to expand will have to get revenue from outside itself, or collapse. 5.Insufficient electrical power.Data centers are enormous electricity users, requiring major upgrades to the grid and supply.We are already paying higher rates for electricity because of their demand and it will get worse near and intermediate term, depending on the shake-out of marginal companies (see #3).The government(s) and utilities are poorly equipped to deal with nationwide demand. 6.Insufficient water for data centers. A recent report showed 17 billion gallons of water is used for data centers and that amount is rising fast and accelerating: https://lnkd.in/e7mc-f7M. It's mainly used for heat dissipation so it can be recycled, but only if energy-hog chillers are used to cool back down the water (see #5).

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers a blueprint for human surviving and thriving that everyone can follow. Using personal stories from his many famous contacts (from Capra to Quinn), he shows how in every aspect of life we can reconnect with that which is in our DNA by replacing our artificial and oppressive hierarchical priorities via a return to a consciousness based on the kind of egalitarian relationships that we honored for most of human history."
