Evil never sleeps, never rests, and is exceedingly strong and growing.

Yet the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of all creation, the God Who had mercy on a wretched sinner such as me and made the Way to salvation and eternal life in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ has all things under control.

Though it may not appear so to many folks.

God is God. Man is not God. Kissinger was not a god, and the following only illustrates the closeness we all are living to the end. THE END. Of all things as they have been known and all of Bible prophecy to unfold.

I had a relative, a Christian man, who died of cancer some years ago. I knew him growing up. He was a handful of years older than me. We went decades without any contact and in the final couple years of his life we communicated via email, as he and his wife had not lived in the same state as me for many years.

We communicated about many different things. His incomprehensible love of McDonald’s where he went daily when he was healthy [humm, perhaps this had some link to his final condition?] and we wrote back and forth about certain current events and Biblical matters.

Now this is years ago, and I communicated to him one of the fastest-growing trends in America, and the West — Transhumanism. He refused to accept such a thing was going on, or that it ever would. Outright vehement rejection that there was such a thing as transhumanism. Even though I presented evidence to the contrary to him.

If interested there are links to more articles on transhumanism and artificial intelligence following this preface and article by Mr. Ryan Lovelace.

Man imagines himself as a god. Even greater than God and not in need of God. THEE God. THEE One and Only Triune God of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of the Jewish and Christian Bible.

There are presently, and to come rapidly, faster than folks can keep up with them, signs and wonders never imagined. DEMONIC forces at work to bring them about. All due to the sin and rebellion of man and woman, the rejection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the clear truth contained in the Scriptures.

Yes, AI is growing faster than humans can keep up or control.

There has been talk and writing of “Super Soldiers” for some years now.

There is research and development of technologies in laboratories in America, and around the world that would make the hearts of many people stop beating if they learned what man and woman have been up to, are up to.

As a Christ follower and a true believer, with my faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you are the same, we have nothing to fear. Nothing at all. We are in Christ and He in us. He is our defense. Our Lord. Our Savior. Do not fear. Anything. Except the Lord.

Let us hope and pray the Lord comes to gather us to Him before these nightmarish horrific realities come to pass, and they are coming. Things unimaginable to us presently. The world hasn’t seen anything much yet of what is coming. Sooner rather than later.

Be prepared. Be equipped. Not as a prepper, with 100,000 rounds of ammo and food in sealed 5-gallon containers with a store date of 25 years — although there is nothing wrong with that, although the 100,000 rounds of ammo might be a bit excessive — be equipped in spirit, with The Spirit of God, in the Word, strong and persevering in the faith, a growing faith in Jesus. Our daily walk ever closer to Him and eternal life with Him,

Be one of the five virgins who always have oil in your lamp ready for the arrival of the Bridegroom at any hour.

Kissinger’s final warning: Prepare now for ‘superhuman’ people to control Earth

Tuesday, November 19, 2024

Humanity must begin preparations to no longer be in charge of Earth because of artificial intelligence, according to a new book from the late statesman Henry Kissinger and a pair of the country’s leading technologists.

The rise of AI creating “superhuman” people is a major topic of concern in “Genesis,” published Tuesday by Little, Brown and Company. It’s the “last book” from Kissinger, according to the publisher’s parent company Hachette. Kissinger was a longtime U.S. diplomat and strategist who died last year at age 100.

Kissinger’s co-authors, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt and longtime Microsoft senior executive Craig Mundie, finished the combined work after Kissinger’s death, and The Washington Times has obtained an advance copy. Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Mundie wrote they were among the last people to speak with Kissinger and sought to honor his dying request to finish the manuscript.

The authors offer a bracing message, warning that AI tools have already started outpacing human capabilities so people might need to consider biologically engineering themselves to ensure they are not rendered inferior or wiped out by advanced machines.

In a section titled “Coevolution: Artificial Humans,” the three authors encourage people to think now about “trying to navigate our role when we will no longer be the only or even the principal actors on our planet.”

“Biological engineering efforts designed for tighter human fusion with machines are already underway,” they add.

Current efforts to integrate humans with machine include brain-computer interfaces, a technology that the U.S. military identified last year as of the utmost importance. Such interfaces allow for a direct link between the brain’s electrical signals and a device that processes them to accomplish a given task, such as controlling a battleship.

The authors also raise the prospect of a society that chooses to create a hereditary genetic line of people specifically designed to work better with forthcoming AI tools. The authors describe such redesigning as undesirable, with the potential to cause “the human race to split into multiple lines, some infinitely more powerful than others.”

“Altering the genetic code of some humans to become superhuman carries with it other moral and evolutionary risks,” the authors write. “If AI is responsible for the augmentation of human mental capacity, it could create in humanity a simultaneous biological and psychological reliance on ‘foreign’ intelligence.”

Such a physical and intellectual dependence may create new challenges to separate man from the machines, the authors warn. As a result, designers and engineers should try to make the machines more human, rather than make humans more like machines.

But that raises a new problem: choosing which humans to make the machines follow in a diverse and divided world.

“No single culture should expect to dictate to another the morality of the intellects on which it would be relying,” the authors wrote. “So, for each country, machines would have to learn different rules, formal and informal, moral, legal, and religious, as well as, ideally, different rules for each user and, within baseline constraints, for every conceivable inquiry, task, situation, and context.”

The authors say society can expect technical difficulties, but those difficulties will pale in comparison with designing machines to follow a moral code, as the authors said they do not believe good and evil are self-evident concepts.

Kissinger, Mr. Schmidt and Mr. Mundie urged greater attention to aligning machines with human values. The trio said they would prefer that no artificial general intelligence surpassing humanity’s intellect is allowed to emerge unless it is properly aligned with the human species.

The authors said they are rooting for humanity’s survival and hope people will figure it out, but that the task will not be easy.

“We wish success to our species’ gigantic project, but just as we cannot count on tactical human control in the longer-term project of coevolution, we also cannot rely solely on the supposition that machines will tame themselves,” the authors wrote. “Training an AI to understand us and then sitting back and hoping that it respects us is not a strategy that seems either safe or likely to succeed.”
