It’s math, Jim.
This is assuming that AI actually becomes sentient. Large intellectual leap there, and one that has not yet been satisfactorily plotted out.
AI can only work within the parameters that are set by its programmers, and not a few of them have already displayed mischievous or malevolent intent.
Skynet may be closer than we think.
If AI has only half the bugs as im Windows 10, it will be horrible disaster.
Have AI come fix my leaky faucet...
In five years, Yuval Noah Harari will be a pile of radioactive ash.
AI will do what the programmer wants it to do
That guy is pure evil.
“Those of us who are at the very cutting edge, who are training the very largest AI models are going to train models...”
Historians don’t train the very largest AI models.
Computers have to be programed, and if computers can be programed to program themselves, then it is still a human lurking in the background that controls.
This is all a ruse to hide a dictatorial intelligence surveillance operation. As a famous mathematician once oberved, computational ability in a machine does not translate into a mind.
But the Tribulation lasts 7 years........
Oh, BS. I think Harari will end up looking like Al Gore when Gore said that Florida will be underwater by 2013.
In five years AI could be so advanced it would mean the “end of human-dominated history”.....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, there is this massive destruction of humanity awaiting out there called the Great Tribulation... Will AI be the cause of it or be the agent that hastens its arrival? Either of these would seem to be quite possible... at least my read of scripture is that this period of time will be accompanied by an all-encompassing surveillance state the likes of which mankind has never seen before.... all possible because of a digital capabilities that have never existed before.
Alarm grows over major climate proposal to slash flights, food, clothing | Frontline News (LINKS) Public alarm is growing over a proposal put forth by several cities to limit flights, food, and clothing to “fight climate change.” Frontline News reported in May on the climate proposal from C40, a network of nearly 100 mayors who have pledged to transform their cities to meet the World Health Organization’s Air Quality Guidelines. Participating cities include Los Angeles, New York City, Washington, DC, Dubai, Mumbai, Barcelona, Paris, London, Tel Aviv, Beijing, Cape Town, Tokyo, Sydney, and others. To meet the WHO’s guidelines, C40 has proposed a slew of measures such as limiting taxpayers to one flight every two years, which the proposal refers to as the “progressive target for 2030.” The “ambitious target” for 2030 limits flights to one every three years. Each flight should be limited to a distance of no more than 1,500 km (932 miles). Other C40 initiatives include reducing the consumption of clothing and textiles by 39% by 2030, which tallies to eight new garments a year. The ambitious target, however, is only three garments per year. https://frontline.news/post/alarm-grows-over-major-climate-proposal-to-slash-flights-food-clothing 2,500

Cities to Use ‘Consumption Intervention’ in Global War on Food
Phoenix, Arizona, is being accused of setting a plan in motion to ban meat. The city’s mayor, Kate Gallego, is refuting the claim. The argument is around the C40 Cities agenda, which Ms. Gallego is onboard with. In this episode, we’ll dig into what that agenda actually entails, and how a global agenda is in the works to enact “consumption intervention” that would change the diets of people in close to 100 cities around the world. The goal includes reducing the consumption of meat and dairy products to zero.
NET ZERO LIVING
FEW of us have fully digested the transformation of economies and our own behaviour that is implied by the existential fight against climate change – even as last month’s report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) laid bare how little time we have left to accelerate the transition to a cleaner world.
It isn’t that the world is lacking in commitments. If you live in the UK, EU, US or scores of other places, the declared aim is that you should be living somewhere with net-zero greenhouse gas emissions within three decades. Eleven nations – Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden and the UK – have already written this goal into law, and dozens more have signalled their intent to do so.
But most of us are lacking a visualisation of what daily life will be like at net zero, from our homes and food to travel and the landscapes around us. “I think we probably don’t do that enough. It’s a really helpful thing to do, to take away the fear and get people excited,” says Mike Thompson at the Climate Change Committee (CCC), a statutory adviser to the UK government.
How to begin working towards a net-zero lifestyle
If you’re interested in this radical experiment or just want to know what your carbon footprint is looking like at the moment, you’ll need to take things step-by- step.
You can begin by going through your daily routine step by step, or use the following categories that Rosalind Redhead does:
Transport: walking, cycling, private car, subway, taxi, autorickshaw, bus, bullet train, etc.
Data: online videos, blogs and websites, social media, communication apps, wifi or personal data, TVs, smartphones, smart speakers
Food: number of meals, ingredients and their sources, purchases, exotic versus local ingredients
2. Maintain a journal to calculate the impact of each action
In a paper or online journal, record every single action you take in a day and review the total carbon emissions at the end of the day. If you’d like a long-term perspective, go ahead and calculate the emissions for a year using your current readings — you might be shocked to see what your carbon footprint might look like even without, say, traveling.
From here, it’s a great idea to identify what you can remove, reduce or substitute to reduce your impact. For example, if you spent an hour mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, replacing that with a walk outside is an instant net-zero win.
Calculate your emissions the right way!
The internet has no shortage of carbon footprint calculators, but if you’ve shied away from using them, you’re not to blame. They can be clunky and heavy on data, making them very unpleasant to use for an already unpleasant task.
Luckily, EcoMatcher is currently creating the next generation of carbon footprint calculators that uses advanced data for accurate results while also being delightful to use. Keep your eyes peeled until then!
The final word
Human-made climate breakdown is accelerating faster than expected, so we’re all in dire need of a reality check. Attempting to live a lower-carbon lifestyle also has ripple effects on climate activism and government policies.
If we’re all able to understand how we contribute and what changes are needed at a personal scale, we’d be much more knowledgeable about what steps to take as a community, then a state, and then a country!

California goes to war with oil and gas giants over climate change
‘deception’ The state of California has filed a lawsuit against major oil and gas companies, alleging the fossil fuel industry has lied about the harms of climate change for decades. “For more than 50 years, Big Oil has been lying to us — covering up the fact that they’ve long known how dangerous the fossil fuels they produce are for our planet,” Newsom said in a statement. “California taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill for billions of dollars in damages — wildfires wiping out entire communities, toxic smoke clogging our air, deadly heat waves, record-breaking droughts parching our wells. “With this lawsuit, California is taking action to hold big polluters accountable and deliver the justice our people deserve.” https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/california-goes-war-oil-gas-giants-climate-change-deception
Devastating Risks of Transitioning to ‘Green’ Energy. 23 Million People Exposed to Toxic Waste.
Tens of millions of people — more than live in the entire state of Florida — are now exposed to toxic water runoff from metal mining, a new study has found.
The report lays bare the devastating impacts that can follow a reckless transition to ‘green’ energy, compounding the ecological damage wrought by over 150 years of drilling and mining for fossil fuels.
Rishi Sunak Rolls Back Multiple Environmental Policies in ‘Pragmatic’ Move That Leaves Climate Alarmists Fuming - British PM Worries About Financial Impact on Families
“’We can adopt a more pragmatic, proportionate and realistic approach to meeting net zero’, Sunak told a news conference on Wednesday, saying a ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars would be pushed back from 2030 to 2035.”
It will not become sentient. It will simulate sentience, and many will be fooled.
Nope- there is at least 1007 more years of human dominated society left, likely many many more years tha. That, but at the very least, 1007 if the tribulation starts sometime late today.
Ai might be used by the antichrist, and likely will be, but after 7 years, ai is defeated and christ rules for 1000 years
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause to be killed as many as would not worship the image of the beast.
Beware AI.

I was watching something on youtube the other day and it was narrated by AI. It was so funny because it kept mispronouncing words and names that a human reader would not have done.
