The American Rebellion Against AI Is Gaining Steam

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

By Amrith Ramkumar,  Katherine Blunt and Lindsay Ellis

The only thing growing faster than the artificial-intelligence industry may be Americans’ negative feelings about it—as former Google Chief Executive Eric Schmidt saw on Friday.

Delivering a commencement address at the University of Arizona, Schmidt told students the “technological transformation” wrought by artificial intelligence will be “larger, faster and more consequential than what came before.” Like some other graduation speakers mentioning AI, Schmidt was met with a chorus of boos.

In one poll after another in recent weeks, respondents have overwhelmingly voiced concerns about AI, a challenge to claims by industry executives that their technology would gain popularity by improving people’s lives.

Just recently I read another article that bemoaned the fact that AI would not only wreck havoc with “white” collar jobs, but also “blue” collar jobs as well. My main issue with AI is the fact we don’t fully, maybe we do in some high and mighty circles, understand the rapid growth of the industry. Many who pioneered AI are sounding the alarm. ⏰ But, it may be too late to put the evil genius back into the bottle. Especially when it has a mind of its own. Rh

New Data Center Equivalent to Setting Off 23 Nuclear Bombs Per Day, Professor Finds

A proposed “hyperscale” data center in Box Elder County, Utah, will create an enormous heat island that could devastate the area’s ecology, according to an expert’s analysis.

Dubbed the Stratos Project and backed by the celebrity venture capitalist Kevin O’Leary, the sprawling facility will devour up to nine gigawatts of energy, its developers say, which is more than double the electricity used by the entire state.

That epic energy bill comes with another cost, albeit the kind that won’t show up on the developers’ books. On top of the nine gigawatts of power, the facility will produce another 7 to 8 gigawatts of energy in the form of waste heat, according to Robert Davies, a physics professor at Utah State University who shared his calculations with The Salt Lake Tribune.

Wow is all I can say, the world is in an escalation period like no other in history. At least it seems that way. One after the other dire warning of what mankind may be doing is upon us, all for the nanny state to know and control all of our lives. Not the world I want to make my home. I am a citizen of heaven.

Silicon Valley Wants to Put a Chip in Your Brain – POLITICO  

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

There will come a time, in the not-so-distant future, when you decide to stick a computer chip in your brain.

At least, that’s what D. Scott Phoenix told the audience at TED 2026 in Vancouver last month.

“Someone you work with will get it first. And you’ll hold out for a while, the way you did with the smartphone. But eventually, you won’t,” said Phoenix, dressed in all black with a tiny mic attached to his ear. “The advantages of integration will be hard to compete with.”

Put bluntly, in his view, “We’re on the cusp of the next major transition, the merger of humans and AI.”

This perspective, as outlandish as it may sound, is commonly held in Silicon Valley. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman mused way back in 2017 that “a merge is probably our best-case scenario” for survival after the emergence of superhuman AI. Tech billionaire Peter Thiel is a vocal advocate of “transhumanism.”

Jesus warned about the days of Noah.  That period of time in the Old Testament was a time of utter depravity, where people did exactly what they deemed to be right.  Sound familiar?  Common phrases you hear today, “my truth”, we need a “New Testament,” the one in the Bible is outdated.  Compromised churches try to water down the Gospel to appease their own sins. 

For today’s subject, let  us not forget the trans humans of Genesis 6, fallen angels integrated with daughters of men to produce a race of giants.  (Many scholars think this is where the myths and fables of Greek mythology come from.)  Zeus, Hercules etc. super human gods. Genesis 6 aftermath could be the main reason for the world wide flood, IMO because of trans-humanism.  The integration of two distinct species.  Science fiction? No Biblical truth!  Please be wary of this idiotic transition to AI generated thinking.  Mark of the beast?  Trans-humanism?  Not on my watch, not in my body.

The Bible is plain, we are made in the image of God and never, ever destroy that unique creation by implanting a chip into your brain.  Do not take a mark that glorifies man or computer.  The end will be destruction.  

Maranatha! Look up our Redeemer draws near.  Revelation 22:17 The Spirit and the bride say, “COME!” 

Revelation 22:20 Jesus says, (His final word to the church) “SURELY I AM COMING QUICKLY.”  Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!

Artificial Intelligence; a lesser god?

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

AI is going nowhere, it is here to stay.  The AI revolution is moving way too fast for comfort. The technology is, to coin a movie title, fast and furious.  From technocrats to governments to everyday people, AI is here to stay, but the ramifications are still unknown.  For one, many companies are looking to replace workers with AI. What will that do for the economy? Others look to AI as a lesser god that can bring unlimited knowledge and power to the human race. Below is a nice article that tackles some of my concerns as a Christian.   Has the genie been let out of the bag? Rh

AI And The Antichrist: As Artificial Intelligence Becomes More Powerful, Serious Spiritual Questions Arise

Hath God Said??  Ai & Doctrines of Devils

Since the garden of Eden the age old lie has been played with the question, hath God said?  “If doubt can be applied to holy scriptures, then is it really true?”  Also doubters will quickly add the question, “but does it apply to today?”  When we begin to doubt the authenticity of the Word, it is the first step on a slippery path to deception and the making of doctrines of devils.  (1 Timothy 4:1)  I have a post concerning AI from a renowned Pastor scheduled for tomorrow, but this post is too important not to post.  So Part 1 today and Part 2 tomorrow.  Be blessed!

Developers Design AI Talk To Each Other—And They Immediately Made Their Own Religion

Young Adults Express Willingness To Hand Over Government Power, Freedoms To AI

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

A new survey reveals that younger adults are willing to hand AI authority over government policymaking decisions and even sovereignty over the world’s largest military machinery. They want to give this authority to AI because they believe it is unbiased and without its own ambitions; therefore, it can be more trusted than individuals.

Crosswalk reported, “A new survey conducted by The Heartland Institute’s Glenn C. Haskins Emerging Issues Center and Rasmussen Reports found that 41% of young adults (ages 18-39) support giving advanced AI systems authority over government policymaking decisions.”

“The poll, released Wednesday, also found that 36% would support AI control over individual rights, including speech and religious practices, while 35% favored AI controlling the world’s largest militaries to reduce war deaths,” they further detailed.

Now, I don’t know about you, but to me, that is a stunning statistic.

The ‘AI Strongman’ Mentality

Donald Kendall, who is the director of the Glenn C. Haskins Emerging Issues Center (part of the Heartland Institute), said: “These results are stunning. What we are seeing is the early emergence of an AI strongman mentality among younger Americans. Younger generations are increasingly disillusioned with the failures of traditional institutions, so much so, that they are willing to hand control to artificial intelligence.”

“For many, the thought process is: These institutions are already so broken, corrupt, and ineffective, how could it get any worse if we were to put AI in charge?” Kendall emphasized. “These poll results illustrate an incredibly dangerous trajectory for any society that values personal autonomy and liberty.”

This is the trajectory of the antichrist—and it is an incredibly dangerous trajectory.

The article continued, “36% of respondents expressed support for a proposal that gives AI control over ‘rights that belong to individuals and families, including rights related to speech, religious practices, government authority, and property.’” By Mark Hitchcock

As the older more conservative and more traditional demographic either dies off or lacks the social and political clout to delay this trend, AI will become commonplace. One analyst commented that soon “most jobs will be lost once AI gets into full steam ahead mold. Lost jobs mean a disaster for the economy.” I concur wholeheartedly, even now there is a beginning of this happening. My daughter works for an information technology company, and they are beginning to see layoffs. This is a world wide company. Rh

Lies and Deceptions Control the Narrative

When ‘Digital Jesus’ Enters The Church: Trading The Holy Spirit For An Algorithm

~ Randy Harris ~ Leave a comment

Article taken from Prophecy News Watch.

This is a scary and dangerous trend. Using AI to take the place of humans in a religious setting. Have we fallen so far from what the church was intended to be? What doctrines of demons will happen next? Thankfully there are true remnant churches who follow the Bible and preach it in its fullness, not some dead soon to be forgotten chapel of dry bones in the Swiss Alps. Rh

In a quiet Swiss city known more for alpine beauty than theological controversy, a strange glow now flickers inside an old Lucerne church. It’s not candlelight. It’s not stained glass catching the morning sun. It’s a screen–an AI-powered “Digital Jesus”–installed right in the confessional booth.

More than 1,000 people have already stepped inside to ask questions, seek guidance, or simply experience the curiosity of it all. The project, titled Deus in Machina, is part academic study, part spiritual experiment, and part cultural provocation. And the world is noticing.

But beyond the novelty and the headlines lies a deeper question–one every believer must answer: What happens when technology begins to imitate the sacred? And what dangers arise when we confuse spiritual authority with artificial intelligence?

The Swiss experiment isn’t the first. Over the last few years, churches around the world have flirted with technology in startling ways.

A Lutheran church in Germany drew global attention when it hosted an AI-powered worship service–complete with AI-generated prayers, AI-delivered sermons, and an AI pastor projected onto a screen.

In the United States, several congregations have used AI-generated worship music or sermon outlines to help pastors structure their messages.

Each time, the reaction has been the same: amazement from the curious, concern from the faithful, and confusion among those watching the line between human and machine blur in sacred spaces.

The deeper threat is not technological–it’s theological.

If believers begin relying on AI for spiritual instruction, comfort, interpretation of Scripture, or moral decisions, then we have effectively placed the programmer–and the algorithm–in the role of spiritual authority.

That means a handful of developers, many of whom do not share Christian beliefs, could shape the spiritual opinions of thousands. Not intentionally, perhaps–but inevitably.

And if we turn to artificial intelligence for answers only God can give, then AI becomes more than a tool. It becomes the idol we consult. The “god” we trust.

Is this not the very definition of spiritual deception?

Bachmann: Kushner, Witkoff’s Gulf Ties Undermined Israel’s Victory

October 24, 2025

Former Minnesota congresswoman Michele Bachmann believes that Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who have longtime business ties to the Middle East, played key roles in hindering Israel’s victory over Hamas.

Speaking at the Family Research Council’s “Pray Vote Stand Summit” in Chino Hills, California, on a panel titled “Israel: In Search of Shalom,” Bachmann said she was “perplexed” that President Donald Trump brought in private businessmen rather than Secretary of State Marco Rubio, to guide peace negotiations. 

She questioned why official diplomacy was effectively delegated to Trump’s son-in-law and real estate developer Witkoff, who both maintain long-standing financial relationships in the Gulf.

JD Vance slams Mamdani over 9/11 comment, says Democrat socialist believes ‘the real victim’ was ‘his auntie’

October 25, 2025

Vice President JD Vance criticized New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Saturday, writing on X that according to the Democrat, “the real victim of 9/11” was his aunt.

Vance made the remark as early voting began Saturday in New York City, where Mamdani, the frontrunner in the race, is trying to fend off challengers Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa.

“I want to speak to the memory of my aunt. Who stopped taking the subway after September 11th because she did not feel safe in her hijab,” Mamdani said in a clip of a Friday campaign event that Vance shared.

“According to Zohran, the real victim of 9/11 was his auntie who got some (allegedly) bad looks,” Vance said.

China says it ‘absolutely will not’ rule out use of force over Taiwan

October 29, 2025

Source: Reuters

China absolutely will not” rule out using force over Taiwan, a government spokesperson said on Wednesday, striking a much tougher tone than a series of articles in state media this week that pledged benign rule if the island comes over to Beijing.

China, which views democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, has never renounced use of force to “reunify” with the island.

But the policy is not often directly voiced in public and did not appear in three Xinhua news agency commentaries this week about Taiwan, one of which mapped out how “patriots” could rule the island after “reunification” and promised Taiwan’s existing social system and way of life would be respected.

China controls the rare earths the world buys – can Trump’s new deals change that?

October 28, 2025

Source: BBC

US President Donald Trump has signed a flurry of deals on his Asia visit to secure the supply of rare earths, a critical sector that China has long dominated.

The deals with Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia differ in size and substance and it’s too early to assess their tangible impact. But they all include efforts to diversify access to the minerals that have become essential for advanced manufacturing, from electric vehicles to smartphones.

The agreements, which aim to lock partners into trading with the US, are a clear bid to reduce dependence on China, ahead of a key meeting with its leader Xi Jinping.

They could eventually challenge Beijing’s stranglehold over rare earths, but experts say it will be a costly process that will take years.

‘Godfathers of AI’ and Steve Wozniak Join 850 Others in Call for Ban on ‘Superintelligence’ AI Development

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

A diverse group of influential individuals, from tech pioneers to politicians, has signed a statement urging a pause in the creation of artificial intelligence that surpasses human cognitive abilities. The list, which includes the legendary “Godfathers of AI” and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak along with figures like Richard Branson, believe that superintelligent AI could lead to “human economic obsolescence and disempowerment, losses of freedom, civil liberties, dignity, and control, to national security risks and even potential human extinction.”

IMO. AI is dangerous and the possibility of something going wrong has a high probability of happening. We need to slow down. However, the genie is out of the bottle. Rh
