People all over the world are worried about the future. While regional wars continue to fester, the prospect of global war weighs heavily on many. However, likely belligerents are not all foreign aggressors. Nearly a century of globalization has erected a web of clunky international institutions that wield tremendous power while disregarding sovereign borders. Concomitantly, mass immigration has transformed once-homogenous national populations into stews of many competing cultures and religions. Battle lines forming inside nations are more serious than those forming among them.
Self-described “futurists” such as Bill Gates and Yuval Harari believe that artificial intelligence will soon replace most humans in the workforce and that a small cadre of global “elites” must centrally manage humanity’s transition to general “uselessness.” With A.I. entities independently running machines and becoming exponentially smarter and more competent in their tasks, entire industries will transition from human to synthetic labor until all industry surrenders to A.I.
As emerging robotics programs have demonstrated, no profession will be immune to the next generations of A.I.-equipped machines. Robots will pick the fields, police the streets, and perform complex medical surgeries. A.I. can already write legal briefs that pass muster and screenplays that are at least as interesting as anything Hollywood produces these days. Engineers, architects, and chemists are competing against machines that can process a thousand lifetimes of computations before their human counterparts finish morning coffee.
Men such as Gates and Harari see this future galloping toward us and view its implications as self-evident. As human producers are replaced, human “value” will dwindle. No longer sustaining even a fraction of their cost through their own labor, human beings will become extraneous to the creation of wealth and permanent drains on the global State.

The mass migrations seem designed to destroy nation states, a goal of the globalists.
Sounds like a set up for a Biblical end times scenario.
God wins.
This is going to be a growing trend. We already see a lot of "BS jobs" and of course DOGE is uncovering a huge percentage of government workers/government spending which accomplishes nothing.
Society should start thinking about cultural changes that will accommodate a world in which a big chunk of our 350 million people have nothing to offer. Idle people cause trouble. Most people are not going to sit around writing poetry. They might prefer to burn down cities. Unless we come up with an alternative.
YEP!
Some people see visitations from dimensional beings as visitors from our own future. It’s interesting that these beings are either robotic or “Nordic” in nature.
On a positive note, Trump has turned around the stock market, closed the border, exposed the Marxist Democrats as fools, stalled the burgeoning Pakistan/India conflagration, and brought nation after nation to the trade negotiation table.
Yes, we are in a global conflict with the Left. And it will be a knock-down, drag-out fight. But they will lose and we will win because they are insane and we are not only sane but are morally in the right.
Yes, AI is a massive technological threat—the greatest paradigm buster the world has ever seen—but humanity has always faced threats. That challenge is what makes life interesting. We must improvise, adapt, overcome.
So buck up, humans, get ready to rumble. We're about to face another "Come to Jesus moment."
I predict that product liability lawsuits against companies that develop AI applications will be a huge growth industry in the future.
Absolutely. And we should count ourselves lucky to be chosen for this time.

A new Scrabble word for me.
What if a lawyer lets his teenage daughter write the brief he submits? Is she legally liable? Of course not. He’s the one who filed it.
Or if he copies a brief from a textbook, do you sue the publisher or the original author? Of course not.
Responsibility follows the actor with agency and accountability. Same with AI. The lawyer who files the brief is the one held liable.
Skynet is close to being operational. Once they lick the problem of traveling back in time, the Terminator will be coming.
And it won’t be a warm fuzzball like Arnold Schwarzenegger.
They could be wrong.
Or making the case as cover for planning a world with far fewer of us.
But it’s hard to buy the AI-replacement argument and claims that we need replacement workers.
So I guess AI isn’t going to replace all those humans after all — right?
It has been traditional thinking, in Western civilization at least, that every technological advancement should be usd as a means of advancing human comfort. It is odd, and telling, that the globalist see the massive technological advancement of AI as a reason to terminate human existence.
Makes one wonder where globalist get their inspiration —their hate for humanity — from.
Imagine some wacky scientist creates a very smart robot—AI-driven and debatably sentient. The creator, who treats the robot like a child, sends it to law school. The robot aces every exam, passes the bar, and lands a job at a top law firm.
It’s still just a robot. A tool.
For that robot to have legal agency, it would need to be granted legal personhood—something currently reserved for humans.
Until the law changes, no matter how smart the robot is, it has no standing, no intent, and no accountability. It can’t sign contracts, can’t be sued, and can’t be held liable.
No Worries! The democRATS will perform some more Judge shopping and sue to make sure every entity has the right to vote.
I think it’s because the elites see themselves as above humanity—superman-like.
They think they are gods.
It’s reminiscent of how the Nazis twisted Nietzsche’s concept of the Übermensch into a weaponized ideology of superiority. You can’t be superior without someone inferior to dominate.
But as much as they need us to feel superior, they hate us—because when they look at us, they see themselves: lowly, ordinary, grubby little humans.
That’s why they hate us. That’s why they must erase us.
It’s not new. It’s just old-fashioned Satanic pride.
AI will eventually DIE, it does not know the difference between Truth and Lie.
Einstein-
Computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid; humans are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant; together they are powerful beyond imagination.
On Computers: “Garbage in = Garbage Out”
AI will not “fly”.
A Tesla equipped with this feature comes with an owner's manual that has a giant disclaimer that says something to this effect: The driver is responsible for the operation of the vehicle, and should be attentive at all times when the autopilot function is activated.
Which begs the obvious question: What the hell is the point of the automation feature if I can't sleep or watch a movie while I'm using it?
