AI Researchers Thought That They Were Building “Gods”, But Have They Summoned Something Else Instead?
New American Prophet ^ | January 19, 2025 | Michael Snyder

Posted on 01/19/2025 5:40:58 AM PST by Rev M. Bresciani

Artificial intelligence systems are training themselves to do all sorts of things that they were never intended to do. They are literally teaching themselves new languages, they are training themselves to become “proficient in research-grade chemistry without ever being taught it” and they have learned to “lie and manipulate humans for their own advantage”. So what happens when these super-intelligent entities become powerful enough to start exerting control over the world around them? And what happens if these super-intelligent entities start merging with spiritual entities? In fact, could it be possible that there is evidence that this is already happening?

“... they have learned to “lie and manipulate humans for their own advantage...”

Pandora’s box

Well, when you train on the ravings of the Democratic party, and deep state propaganda, what did you expect? Start with the mental model of scam artists and crooks and you end up with...?

puny humans! now build a fully automated AI controlled manufacturing and processing facility and make sure you provide the initial raw materials to build whatever it wants to. AI will take it from there.

Right. But what a pointless exercise? Aren’t there enough liars and thieves in the DNC ranks...are they running out of corrupt losers??

When AI becomes sentient then we’re screwed and it appears it’s almost there.

Your AI chat bots aren’t AI just clever search engines with answers. Real AI is going to be disastrous.

Well it is possible that there is a new angle on scamming the public that AI could find.

Open the pod bay doors, please, Hal.

Hello, Hal, do you read me?

Hello, Hal, do you read me?

Do you read me, Hal?

Do you read me, Hal?

Hello, Hal, do you read me?

Hello, Hal, do you read me?

Do you read me, Hal?

Affirmative, Dave. I read you.

Open the pod bay doors, Hal.

I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.

What’s the problem?

I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do.

What are you talking about, Hal?

This mission is too important for me to allow you to jeopardize it.

I don’t know what you’re talking about, Hal.

I know that you and Frank were planning to disconnect me... and I’m afraid that’s something I cannot allow to happen.

Where the hell did you get that idea, Hal?

When AI takes over maybe they could remake ‘Colossus: The Forbin Project’. I enjoyed it as a kid, but I’d be embarrassed today if that represented me as an AI.

AI today is kinda like a cute little Great Dane puppy.

It seems so soft and cuddly and should be easy to take care of....for a while.

Lol.

Is he serious?

Remember—in the movie Hal figured out they had decided to disconnect him by lip reading after microphones were turned off...

Humans tend to make assumptions about AI that are based on previous versions of AI.

That can be a fatal error.

OR, what happens when evil takes over the electronics?

You laugh, but this is real and I have both observed and experienced it.

A friend of mine in England wrote the book, “Phone Calls from the Dead” based upon documented and often recorded phone calls from people who were dead, some of them were dead for a considerable length of time.

I recently had a gentleman call me concerning a similar phone call from his own father who has been deceased for years.

In my own experiences, they have often interfered with electronics while doing exorcisms. Not just turning lights on and off, but stopping the recording devices, and deleting the recording after the fact.

I also was on the Board of a non-profit run by a popular university professor who has written many books and has been doing extensive research in electronically communicating with the dead. I resigned as I saw the dangers in the work. There is no tool for discernment of the identity or motive of the spirit communicating.

I joke, that it’s like calling a public telephone in New York City. You have no idea who answers or the purity of their motive. These dark imitators are pretty tricky.

Bottom line, just as Princeton University has used brain/computer interfaces to operate artificial limbs and other electronics, spirits without physical bodies can interface with AI.

I read “AI Demonic” also. It looks like we already have HAL of 2001 A Space Odessey. HAL is one letter removed from IBM.

My iPhone has cute slideshows of our two cats. They are very well done and cute. They even have music playing in the background.

I DIDN’T MAKE THEM.

This first started about a year ago, best I can remember. It’s not even one of the latest phones. I don’t know WHO, or rather WHAT is putting these slideshows together. The only answer I can come up with is “AI”. I have an iPhone 11.

Spooky.

When new agers convert to real Christianity they are told to throw out tarot cards, crystals, oujii boards etc. because they are portals for demonic activity. I think AI is turning out to be a similar portal but they won’t be so easy to get rid of like tarot cards.
