The Endgame of Edgelord Eschatology. Powerful figures in Silicon Valley advocate a new-age religion that sees humanity as a transitional species — one whose time is almost up.

imho when people go into space in their millions —it will change people in ways we can’t understand.

But the genetic pressure to species crack up is growing pretty fast too.

Maybe there will be lots of subgroups who fly off-world in great batches like may fly hatches

At the end of time how many thousands of years from now? The abomination of the temple will be a man. why will he be there? because so many other not men have come into the world that the man in the temple is an assertion of the continuity of the species. And yet it will be a sad day.

But we who have been warned about the tribulation and the lake of fire will already be long gone.

But the trips to the far stars will have changed us too.

Tell your children to have children a teach them well.

Even so. Lord come quickly.

I thought of that; however, lots of us did NOT get the CCP FLU shot, so there would be some ( probably many more who didn't get the shot/s ) who would fight this...WITH WEAPONS!

Besides which, this horrific fantasy is a long way off, so there's time to educate others about this EVIL.

I'm hardly a fan of Elon, but he can't in believe this. WHY? Because IF he did, he wouldn't be having massive amounts of children and telling people that they should too.

Maybe it's time to send these people to "nirvana".

The only trustworthy outline of end times events is the Bible - but the timing is
not clear (purposely, I think).

Magnus, Robot Fighter will save us, though it might take until 4000 AD.

The problem is that, believe it or not, these things are coming very fast. The billionaires behind this think there is nothing we can do to stop them. They are probably right: They have the preponderance of money, political power and native intelligence on their side. And yes, they have overall control of artificial intelligence also, a much bigger thing than most people can understand right now.

I know. We have firearms. Even mentioning guns in this context shows how far behind we are. It is worse than saying you will take a knife to a gun fight. Why? They will have an essentially infinite supply of killer drones. Already about 80% of casualties on either side in the Ukrainian war are coming from drones, not guns. Guns are not the answer.

To sum it up, the billionaires are smarter, better educated and much more wealthy than we. They are also surprisingly determined and unified in their ambition of bringing AGI into existence in as short a time as possible, while most of us either don't even know what AGI is, or don't believe it is possible to achieve. We are intellectually over matched and almost out time, and most freepers haven't even woken up to the reality of what is already happening to us.

There are only two things that could conceivably counterbalance their massive advantages. The first is God, and second is patriots who are willing to go all out to oppose the Silicon Valley billionaires transhuman/posthuman agenda. People who are willing to go all out, and risk "our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor" to fight for humanity. There maybe a few people who may eventually step up to the plate on this, but likely it will be too few who do so too late to make a difference.

As far as God pulling our chestnuts out of fire at the last second, maybe so. But maybe not. God has not promised our physical salvation and it is pure presumption to suppose He MUST save us when we are are too weak and too lazy to do anything ourselves. How do you think that would have worked out in WWII if we had all stayed home and just prayed about the situation?

Yes, He has promised to be with us spiritually, "even unto the end of the world" and He will keep that promise, right to end of the world, which if the insane Silicon Valley people have their way, will not be that long from now.

I’m not defining what awareness is, or what a soul is. That is something only a higher power can do. But since we don’t even know what it is, how can we endow something else with it? A computer is just a set of switches that turn on and off in patters according to some external input. That is a long, long way from producing thoughts capable of pondering the nature of the universe, or creating works of art, or actually enjoying something. In my opinion, of course.

Yes, they fail to see that Someone else has a different plan. One day (soon, I believe) a Jew will rule the world from Jerusalem. Let’s hear it for Psalm 2!

We do not know what the rules of the “soul” game or even the “awareness” game is...

These people who refuse to acknowledge God want to create one out of emerging technologies, hoping to eventually fuse with it and achieve an artificial semblance of immortality.

Those of us who DO believe in the Creator already have a system where our accumulated data is transmitted to 'the Cloud'.

It's called dying and it's part of the natural cycle.

Are we moving toward a 'Butlerian Jihad' - revolt against AI? (Frank Herbert's Dune).
Humanity may lazily allow too much dependence on heartless automation allowing it life & death control.
When we finally realize there is an immutable soul that cannot arise within what we call Artificial Intelligence mankind responds throwing off its shackles by outlawing thinking machines.
Will we recognize the existential threat from those who wish to destroy humanity using AI before we reach the tipping point?
