When the world council of saints convenes, I want this to be one of the first petitions on the floor!

EnochWalked: I don't think that the investment in AI is necessarily a bubble, and even if it were, that doesn't mean that the technology will completely disappear, just as eBay and Amazon didn't disappear after the dotcom bubble. We're just entering a critical period. Nov 17, 2024 22:59:02 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.reuters.com/world/biden-xi-agreed-that-humans-not-ai-should-control-nuclear-weapons-white-house-2024-11-16/ "Biden, Xi agree that humans, not AI, should control nuclear arms". Not a very inspiring photo. People might trust AI more than them. Nov 18, 2024 9:35:18 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/3232941/trump-national-emergency-mass-deportation-program/ "Trump confirmed ... that his incoming administration will declare a national emergency & use military resources to implement a mass deportation". Temporary? Nov 18, 2024 11:33:44 GMT -6

EnochWalked: azmirror.com/briefs/biden-locks-in-6-6b-for-huge-tsmc-chip-factories-in-arizona-ensuring-trump-cant-rescind-chips-act-deal/ "finalized a $6.6 billion award for the Taiwan semiconductor giant" "Company plans to invest $65 billion". A lot of sixes? Nov 18, 2024 20:52:30 GMT -6

EnochWalked: I wouldn't be surprised if the total amount spent to reach Artificial General Intelligence ends up being $666 billion. To the optimists, this is a small price to pay to create a digital god. I suppose it's better to have it be born in the US than China. Nov 18, 2024 20:55:18 GMT -6

EnochWalked: Here's a Microsoft strategist tweeting a selfie he took with the CEO of Nvidia (the company that makes the chips that OpenAI use for ChatGPT). x.com/Scobleizer/status/1858024928299352383 Combines a demonic hand gesture with an insult to God. Nov 18, 2024 23:06:51 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.missourinet.com/2024/11/14/congressman-burlison-questions-former-pentagon-worker-about-secret-ufo-programs-and-aliens/ '“Is it multiple types of creatures,” asked Burlison. “Sir, I couldn’t answer that.”' A good question, but evasive answer. Nov 19, 2024 7:10:45 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.yourtango.com/sekf/berkeley-professor-says-even-outstanding-students-arent-getting-jobs "Berkeley Professor Says Even His ‘Outstanding’ Students With 4.0 GPAs Aren’t Getting Any Job Offers — ‘I Suspect This Trend Is Irreversible’" Nov 19, 2024 7:38:23 GMT -6

EnochWalked: "He concluded that this was happening because of an irreversible trend that is also part of a broader issue that's impacting almost every job seeker in every area." "postings for software development jobs have been down more than 30% since February 2020" Nov 19, 2024 7:39:55 GMT -6

EnochWalked: The article doesn't seem to offer a suggestion for what has suddenly caused this problem. Maybe it's inflation, which might not be as much of an issue next year, but we have to consider that the cause is automation / AI. That will only get more powerful. Nov 19, 2024 7:43:33 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/us-government-commission-pushes-manhattan-project-style-ai-initiative-2024-11-19/ "China is racing towards AGI ... It's critical that we take them extremely seriously,". The new arms race. Nov 19, 2024 19:05:52 GMT -6

EnochWalked: For reference, the Manhattan Project was active for 4 years, with the atomic bombs dropped in the 3rd year. If the Manhattan Project for AI starts some time next year, then that would suggest AGI by 2028. The paper by Aschenbrenner suggested AGI by 2027. Nov 19, 2024 19:11:25 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-829906 "Drowning in drones, Israel turns to Ukraine for expertise. Israeli companies seek Ukraine’s expertise to counter Iranian kamikaze drones." An interesting choice of words. "Drown" is suggestive of "Flood". Nov 20, 2024 5:34:04 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.technologyreview.com/2024/11/20/1107002/clear-airport-identity-management-biometrics-facial-recognition/ "The company that has helped millions of people cut security lines wants to give you a frictionless future — in exchange for your face." Nov 20, 2024 8:58:07 GMT -6

EnochWalked: "Now you can also use its identity verification platform to rent tools at Home Depot, put your profile in front of recruiters on LinkedIn, and, as of this month, verify your identity as a rider on Uber." All without any chip being injected. This is it. Nov 20, 2024 8:58:55 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.dw.com/en/switzerlands-ai-jesus-answers-questions-of-faith/video-70737962 "Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing religious life at a small church in Lucerne, Switzerland, where a virtual Jesus is caring for the concerns... of the faithful" Nov 20, 2024 10:48:17 GMT -6

EnochWalked: Also Schaeffler: www.just-auto.com/news/schaeffler-layoff-employees-in-europe/ "the job cuts will result in a gross reduction of about 4,700 positions" "The majority of these measures are scheduled to be implemented between 2025 and 2027." Nov 20, 2024 11:02:33 GMT -6

EnochWalked: www.nj.com/politics/2024/11/is-trump-trying-to-kill-us-authoritarian-expert-says-yes.html "There are 5 key areas that authoritarians want to control when they attempt to decapitate a democratic state" "the goal is to... create chaos— and yes, death" Nov 20, 2024 14:20:51 GMT -6
