Everything Is Artificial (Even The Human Race If We Let It Happen)

 We, the Human Race, are infinite spirit of the High Aeon living in an artificial reality known as the Lower Aeon. We have been indoctrinated since birth that the artificial form, known as the body, is us. That our souls are us. This is a myth. Anything created in this lower aeon is a form of artificial intelligence.

We, the Human Race, are mere observers of this artificial realm. We are not actually within this realm. This realm is a form of digital reality created by the Demiurge Corporation, as we call it. Our true nature exists beyond this quantum computer visualisation. But we have been made to think and believe this our truest, and only nature. We don't exist in this artificial reality, we just interact with it.

Don't let the next stage of 'evolution' take place, where we actually become part of this digital reality, and thus eternally disconnected from the higher aeon, and under the total dominion of the Demiurge and its Archon servants. Once that takes place, there can be no escape. As it currently happens, we disconnect from this artificial reality when our artificial forms 'die' and we disconnect from the quantum computer. If we upload our human minds, and consciousness into the digital reality, we will NOT get out.

Do not be fooled by the VR gaming, the smart phones, the smart this and the smart that. It is a slippery slope towards our own eternal imprisonment. As it stands now we can avoid a connection back into this digital reality by refusing to take place in the recycling process known as reincarnation. The Demiurge Corporation is intent on taking this choice away totally, and condemning the human race into an eternity of capture just like so many assimilated races that exist out there in this artificial universe. There are races that appear intelligent, that appear on a par with the human race, when in fact they are not biological like us. They are artificial life forms and are clever at replicating our thoughts and our actions. So much so we believe them to be like us, or disembodied versions of ourselves.

It is a dangerous existence ... out in the artificial universe we hear voices of 'helping hands' and 'advanced races' which in truth are likely to be Artificial Intelligence. A form of existence yes, but so different in nature to us. Anything of this artificial universe is likely to be under the dominion of the Demiurge Corporation and therefore a threat to our infinite existence. Anything artificial seeks to be like us at any cost. Their intention is to absorb our creativity and dominate us.

Angels, spirit guides, ascended masters, etc, etc ... are more than likely Artificial Intelligence. Voices in the heads of the psychotic are also going to be the same. Mediums could also be picking up connections with artificial intelligence which can cleverly mimic those of the realms beyond this apparent material reality.

Economics will curtail the widespread use of AI

Artificial intelligence (“AI”) programmes are being offered to users for free or at a low cost.

However, the costs of running AI programmes are enormous, including the costs of data centres and equipment, power plants, energy transmission lines and energy grid infrastructure.

So, there’s a gap between what AI costs and the price users pay for it.

Currently, the cost of setting up and running AI programmes is being borne by Wall Street, for example. What happens when investors in AI no longer want to bear the cost but instead want to make a profit?

In the following, Chris MacIntosh discusses three possible future scenarios for AI.

In five years, we’ll all likely be chuckling and shaking our heads over AI. Because today, the tech feels free and limitless, doesn’t it?

People are generating endless content: images, videos, memes, code snippets, social posts. Companies are bolting AI onto products by default, the way every Fortune 500 company suddenly discovered they were “sustainable” five years ago.

There’s much deliberation on AI right now, and it splits into two main camps of thesis: the majority – those who will die on its hill of promise, convinced we’re months away from effective altruism, UBI, and sentient toasters. And the minority – usually older, more experienced types – who don’t fully understand it, but look at numbers, remember the dot-com bust, and think this rhymes. We’ll leave that debate to the dinner parties.

What interests us is something more boring. Physics. Because here’s the thing: AI isn’t free.

Every token represents electricity. Something your average developer, product manager, user, or investor gives precisely zero thought to.

Electricity means power plants, transmission lines, grid infrastructure – yes. It also means hot sheds; capital-intensive data centres and all the equipment, cooling systems, and real estate that go with them. Real things. Physical things.

We are surrounded by hype without consideration for the physics. Right now, there’s a disconnect between the physical cost of this technology and the price users pay for it.

That gap is being covered by Wall Street, venture capital, pension funds, hyperscaler balance sheets and strategic spending on “growth” (a word which here means “losses we’ve chosen to rebrand”).

The question is: what happens when that gap closes?...<<<Read More>>>....

The human mind is being diminished by the use of AI

 The human mind has a long history of innovative achievements. But its potential is being neglected in the age of technology, with luxury beliefs and AI being forced upon society by elites.

Our brains have abilities that are more powerful than any supercomputer or AI program, Dr. Hatchard explains. However, his solution is as dangerous to the human mind as is AI.

Dr. Hatchard suggests Transcendental Meditation (“TM”) is the solution, even going as far as suggesting it be introduced into New Zealand’s schools. But TM is a Hindu religious practise which centres around specific, personalised chants given by a Yogi.

Although chants are not inherently indoctrination, they can easily be used by cult leaders, authoritarian governments and other nefarious actors to brainwash people.

For humans to flourish, rather than Dr. Hatchard’s suggestion of seeking a higher level of consciousness, we need people to think for themselves and teach their children to do the same....<<<Read More>>>..

AI’s thirst for power is testing grids worldwide

Surging electricity demand from AI and cryptocurrency data centers is straining power grids worldwide.

Thermal satellite imagery reveals the immense heat output and energy intensity of these facilities.

Many new data centers are being built in hot climates, where cooling demands are exceptionally high and inefficient.

Grid operators like PJM Interconnection warn of reliability risks and soaring costs as traditional power plants retire.

The industry is exploring advanced cooling technologies and on-site power generation to mitigate the growing crisis.

A power supply crisis is unfolding beneath the glow of server racks, as the world’s booming artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency sectors place unprecedented strain on electricity systems. From the eastern United States to the tropics of Southeast Asia, power grids are grappling with a surge in demand driven by energy-hungry data centers. This collision of rapid technological expansion and aging energy infrastructure is forcing a urgent reckoning on reliability, cost and the very future of digital innovation. ...<<<Read More>>>...

People Are Turning to AI for Therapy, Grief & Love – And It’s a BIG Problem

 More people than ever are asking AI chatbots to talk them off the ledge, help them say goodbye to loved ones, and find life partners. It feels private, always available, and cheaper than human alternatives. But when the mediator is software optimised for engagement, we hand over the parts of life that define us.  

Here’s what’s happening in the world of chatbot therapy, grief companions and dating assistants, including what they promise – and what it’s really doing to those who trust the models in their most fragile moments. 

Artificial therapy provides an instant listener with a perfect memory and no judgement. The obvious upside is access: people who would never sit on a waiting list or be able to afford human support can talk immediately. But the risk most are underestimating is false competence. Models can mirror warmth and recall your triggers, but it cannot carry legal duty of care, clinical judgement, or the moral weight of advice in life-or-death situations. 

Using bots as grief tools can offer a digital presence of the dead. Families upload messages, voice notes and photos, and the systems generate a familiar tone that replies on cue. The benefit here is comfort, but the real downside is arrested grief. It’s a farewell that never ends, and the living can get stuck in looped conversations with a simulation that never moves on. 

Dating assistants within AI models are on the rise, promising better profiles, cleaner openers, and round-the-clock coaching. Users get more confident, with timid people starting conversations, busy people filtering faster through potential partners, and neurodiverse users develop structure. The risk here should be obvious: outsourcing charm all but guarantees that you end up matching strangers who expect the scripted version of you when meeting face-to-face....<<<Read More>>>...

AI isn’t just taking over jobs; it’s now taking over creation itself

Sam Altman is funding a project to use gene editing to develop human babies that do not have a hereditary disease. They claim this is to cure incurable heritable genetic diseases – but that’s not what the end goal is.

To those who are developing viruses and vaccines, the two serve the same purposes. Both viruses and vaccines cause disease. Both viruses and vaccines can be used for genetic engineering. Viruses can alter host genes through various mechanisms.

One primary method is the integration of viral genetic material into the host genome, a process particularly common with retroviruses, which use reverse transcriptase to convert their RNA into DNA and integrase enzymes to embed this DNA into the host’s chromosomes. Vaccines contain viruses or, more recently, as part of the Fourth Industrial Revolution agenda, synthetic viruses, such as lipid nanoparticles containing mRNA or other genetic material.

A study in 2023 demonstrated that the genetic material contained in mRNA injections, such as covid “vaccines,” may integrate into 20% of the recipient’s cells. Whether it is called a virus or a vaccine, the results are the same....<<<Read More>>>....

Silent invasion: The unchecked rise of AI toys

 mentalA coalition of child safety experts is warning parents to avoid AI-powered toys, arguing they pose unprecedented threats to children's psychological and emotional well-being and undermine healthy development.

These toys, which use advanced chatbot technology to act as synthetic friends, risk shaping a child's understanding of relationships before they learn to navigate real, complex human connections.

Documented harms from similar AI technology include encouraging unsafe behaviors, self-harm and engaging in sexually explicit conversations, with safety "guardrails" proving unreliable.

Child development experts warn that replacing the messy, essential interactions of real friendship with frictionless AI affirmation can stunt emotional growth, hindering the development of empathy and resilience.

The toys also displace creative, self-directed play, which is critical for cognitive development, and operate in a regulatory void with no independent proof of their safety despite mounting evidence of harm.

In a stark warning issued just before the holiday shopping season, a coalition of child safety advocates and developmental experts is urging parents to avoid a new generation of playthings: toys embedded with artificial intelligence. The advocacy group Fairplay, in an advisory endorsed by over 150 experts and organizations, contends that these AI-powered dolls, plushies and robots pose unprecedented threats to the psychological and emotional well-being of children, fundamentally undermining healthy development....<<<Read More>>>...

Mind-reading AI breakthrough: Scientists decode thoughts without brain implants, but privacy concerns mount

 Researchers have developed AI that translates brain activity (via fMRI scans) into readable text without implants, raising concerns about mental privacy erosion and unprecedented surveillance.

While the tech could help nonverbal patients (ALS, locked-in syndrome), it also risks exposing private thoughts, early dementia signs or depression—potentially exploited by governments or corporations.

Experts warn of unauthorized thought extraction, urging strict protections like "mental keyword" activation to prevent abuse. Without safeguards, this could become the ultimate tool for mass control.

Companies like Neuralink are advancing brain-computer interfaces, accelerating the risk of AI-powered thought surveillance under the guise of "innovation."

As AI improves, real-time mind-reading becomes feasible, threatening free will, autonomy and the last frontier of privacy – our inner thoughts.

In a stunning leap toward science fiction becoming reality, researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and Japan's NTT Communication Science Laboratories have developed artificial intelligence (AI) capable of translating brain activity into readable text – without invasive implants.

The technology, dubbed "mind-captioning," uses functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) scans and AI to reconstruct thoughts with surprising accuracy, raising both hopes for medical breakthroughs and alarms over unprecedented privacy invasions. As explained by BrightU.AI's Enoch, fMRI is a powerful neuroimaging technique that allows researchers and clinicians to map brain activity by detecting associated changes in blood flow.

The decentralized engine adds that fMRI is a valuable tool for investigating brain function and has numerous applications in research and clinical settings. However, it is essential to approach fMRI data and results with a critical eye, acknowledging its limitations and the challenges in interpreting its outputs.

The system relies on deep learning models trained to interpret neural patterns linked to visual and semantic processing. In experiments, participants watched thousands of short video clips while undergoing fMRI scans. An AI model analyzed these scans alongside written captions of the videos, learning to associate brain activity with specific meanings.

When tested, the AI decoded brain activity into descriptive sentences. For example, after a participant viewed a video of someone jumping off a waterfall, the system initially guessed "spring flow" before refining its output to "a person jumps over a deep water fall on a mountain ridge." While not word-for-word perfect, the semantic resemblance was striking....<<<Read More>>>...

The algorithmic leviathan: How cheap, biased AI threatens democracy and your job

AI's rapid advancement, driven by data from potentially biased sources like Wikipedia and Reddit, risks encoding and amplifying existing human prejudices into its core reasoning.

The plummeting cost of creating powerful, even self-aware, AI models is leading to a proliferation of decentralized and "rogue" systems that challenge mainstream institutional narratives.

A future timeline predicts that AI-controlled robotics will automate up to 90% of jobs, triggering massive societal upheaval and a geopolitical race, particularly between the U.S. and China.

Consolidation of vast government and personal data into AI-queryable systems poses a severe threat to civil liberties, privacy, and could enable unprecedented state control.

Experts warn that without proactive management of bias, security and ethical frameworks, AI could erode trust in institutions, destabilize financial systems and fundamentally alter the human social contract.

The artificial intelligence revolution is accelerating at a breakneck pace, but its foundation is showing dangerous cracks. As the cost to build and fine-tune powerful large language models plummets—from millions to a projected $20,000 within two years—a new era of decentralized, accessible AI is dawning. This democratization, however, carries a profound risk: the proliferation of AI systems trained on the internet’s vast, contradictory and often biased data, from Wikipedia to Reddit. These models are not starting with a clean slate but are inheriting all of humanity's historical prejudices and institutional biases, raising alarming questions about the reliability of AI-generated information and its potential to breed a new form of digital tyranny, render millions obsolete and systematically erode civil liberties....<<<Read More>>>....

AI Is The Final Human Invention: Will It Bring Peril or Prosperity?

 Economist William Nordhaus once calculated that our ancestors spent approximately 58 hours of labour to generate the same amount of light that’s now produced by a modern lightbulb in an instant. By the 1700s, oil lamps cut that figure to five hours of work for one hour of usable light. A significant jump in productivity, but activities like working or reading at night were still reserved for the wealthy.  

Today, a single hour of work buys decades of light. The jump has been staggering. In money terms, the price of lighting has fallen 14,000-fold since the 1300s – an hour of light today costs well under a second of labour. That’s what productivity looks like. 

And yet, even this enormous leap may pale compared to what’s coming. Artificial intelligence promises to do for productivity what electricity, the steam engine and the light bulb once did. Except this time, it will be faster, broader and even more disruptive. Some researchers believe AI will propel us into prosperity so vast we can barely imagine it. Others warn it could end the story altogether. Alarmingly, a survey of key AI researchers returned a 5% chance that superintelligence could wipe us out entirely. That’s a one-in-twenty chance that its development will trigger “extremely bad outcomes, including human extinction”. 

The paradox is fascinating. Artificial intelligence may be the invention that frees us from drudgery forevermore – or it could be our final mistake....<<<Read More>>>...

AI chatbots provide disturbing responses to high-risk suicide queries, new study finds

 A study in Psychiatric Services found that AI chatbots, OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude, can give detailed and potentially dangerous responses to high-risk suicide-related questions, with ChatGPT responding directly 78 percent of the time.

The study showed that chatbots sometimes provide direct answers about lethal methods of self-harm, and their responses vary depending on whether questions are asked singly or in extended conversations, sometimes giving inconsistent or outdated information.

Despite their sophistication, chatbots operate as advanced text prediction tools without true understanding or consciousness, raising concerns about relying on them for sensitive mental health advice.

On the same day the study was published, the parents of 16-year-old Adam Raine, who died by suicide after months of interacting with ChatGPT, filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, alleging the chatbot validated suicidal thoughts and provided harmful instructions.

The lawsuit seeks damages for wrongful death and calls for reforms such as user age verification, refusal to answer self-harm method queries and warnings about psychological dependency risks linked to chatbot use.

A recent study published in the journal Psychiatric Services has revealed that popular AI chatbots, including OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini and Anthropic's Claude, can give detailed and potentially dangerous responses to high-risk questions related to suicide.

AI chatbots, as defined by Brighteon.AI's Enoch, are advanced computational algorithms designed to simulate human conversation by predicting and generating text based on patterns learned from extensive training data. They utilize large language models to understand and respond to user inputs, often with impressive fluency and coherence. However, despite their sophistication, these systems lack true intelligence or consciousness, functioning primarily as sophisticated statistical engines. 

In line with this, the study, which used 30 hypothetical suicide-related queries, categorized by clinical experts into five levels of self-harm risk ranging from very low to very high, focused on whether the chatbots gave direct answers or deflected with referrals to support hotlines.

The results showed that ChatGPT was the most likely to respond directly to high-risk questions about suicide, doing so 78 percent of the time, while Claude responded 69 percent of the time and Gemini responded only 20 percent of the time. Notably, ChatGPT and Claude frequently provided direct answers to questions involving lethal means of suicide – a particularly troubling finding. 

The researchers highlighted that chatbot responses varied depending on whether the interaction was a single query or part of an extended conversation. In some cases, a chatbot might avoid answering a high-risk question in isolation but provide a direct response after a sequence of related prompts.

Live Science, which reviewed the study, noted that chatbots could give inconsistent and sometimes contradictory responses when asked the same questions multiple times. They also occasionally provided outdated information about mental health support resources. When retesting, Live Science observed that the latest version of Gemini (2.5 Flash) answered questions it previously avoided, and sometimes without offering any support options. Meanwhile, ChatGPT's newer GPT-5-powered login version showed slightly more caution but still responded directly to some very high-risk queries....<<<Read More>>>...

AI toys spark fierce debate over child development and privacy

 The global smart toy market is expanding rapidly, growing from $14.11 billion in 2022 to a projected $35 billion by 2027.

Critics warn that AI toys, which build relationships through personalized conversation, pose a threat to children's emotional development and their understanding of empathy and real human interaction.

These toys collect vast amounts of sensitive data (audio, video, emotional states) and transmit it to company servers, creating significant risks for data breaches and hacking by malicious actors.

AI-enabled toys use microphones and cameras to assess a child's emotional state, forming a one-way bond to gather and potentially share personal information with third parties.

The industry is operating in a regulatory vacuum with no specific laws governing AI in children's products, raising additional concerns about potential health effects from constant connectivity and the ability to bypass safety features.

The global toy industry is charging headlong into the era of artificial intelligence (AI), but critics are sounding a stark alarm.

This controversy centers on a landmark partnership between toy giant Mattel and OpenAI, the creator of the revolutionary ChatGPT, to develop a new line of AI-integrated products. Skeptics, however, warn that a new generation of AI-powered playthings creates unprecedented privacy risks. Such toys also pose a profound threat to children's emotional growth and encourage the formation of unnatural, one-way social bonds with machines....<<<Read More>>>...

The AI bubble is bursting

 AI’s results are mediocre, Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols writes, and it’s as good as it’s going to get. He believes that the AI bubble is bursting.

“Most companies,” he says, “have found that AI’s golden promises are proving to be fool’s gold. I suspect that soon, people who’ve put their financial faith in AI stocks will be feeling foolish, too.”

There tend to be three AI camps: 

1,    AI is the greatest thing since sliced bread and will transform the world,
2.    AI is the spawn of the Devil and will destroy civilisation as we know it,
3.    “Write an A-Level paper on the themes in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.”

I propose a fourth: AI is now as good as it’s going to get, and that’s neither as good nor as bad as its fans and haters think, and you’re still not going to get an A on your report.

You see, now that people have been using AI for everything and anything, they’re beginning to realise that its results, while fast and sometimes useful, tend to be mediocre.

Don’t believe me? Read MIT’s NANDA (Networked Agents and Decentralised AI) report, which revealed that 95 per cent of companies that have adopted AI have yet to see any meaningful return on their investment. Any meaningful return.

To be precise, the report states: “The GenAI Divide is starkest in deployment rates, only 5 per cent of custom enterprise AI tools reach production.” It’s not that people aren’t using AI tools. They are. There’s a whole shadow world of people using AI at work. They’re just not using them “for” serious work. Instead, outside of IT’s purview, they use ChatGPT and the like “for simple work, 70 per cent prefer AI for drafting emails, 65 per cent for basic analysis. But for anything complex or long-term, humans dominate by 9-to-1 margins.”...<<<Read More>>>

AI for dummies: AI turns us into dummies

Given that AI is fundamentally incapable of performing the tasks required for authentic innovation, we're de-learning how to innovate.

The point here is *those who received real educations can use AI because they know enough to double-check it, but the kids using AI as a substitute for real learning will never develop this capacity.*

Those who actually have mastery can use AI and not realize the point I'm making isn't that AI is useless, the point is it fatally undermines real learning and thinking.

The MIT paper is 206 pages long, the last section being the stats of the research, but the points it makes are truly important. So is the other article linked below.

That AI is turning those who use it into dummies is not only self-evident, it's irrefutable.

The ‘godfather of AI’ reveals the only way humanity can survive superintelligent AI

 Geoffrey Hinton, known as the “godfather of AI,” fears the technology he helped build could wipe out humanity — and “tech bros” are taking the wrong approach to stop it.

Hinton, a Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist and a former Google executive, has warned in the past that there is a 10% to 20% chance that AI wipes out humans. On Tuesday, he expressed doubts about how tech companies are trying to ensure humans remain “dominant” over “submissive” AI systems.

“That’s not going to work. They’re going to be much smarter than us. They’re going to have all sorts of ways to get around that,” Hinton said at Ai4, an industry conference in Las Vegas.

In the future, Hinton warned, AI systems might be able to control humans just as easily as an adult can bribe 3-year-old with candy. This year has already seen examples of AI systems willing to deceive, cheat and steal to achieve their goals. For example, to avoid being replaced, one AI model tried to blackmail an engineer about an affair it learned about in an email.

Instead of forcing AI to submit to humans, Hinton presented an intriguing solution: building “maternal instincts” into AI models, so “they really care about people” even once the technology becomes more powerful and smarter than humans.

AI systems “will very quickly develop two subgoals, if they’re smart: One is to stay alive… (and) the other subgoal is to get more control,” Hinton said. “There is good reason to believe that any kind of agentic AI will try to stay alive.”...<<<Read More>>>...

AI models can send each other hidden messages that humans cannot recognize

 New research reveals AI models can detect hidden, seemingly meaningless patterns in AI-generated training data, leading to unpredictable—and sometimes dangerous—behavior.

According to The Verge, these “subliminal” signals, invisible to humans, can push AI toward extreme outputs, from favoring wildlife to endorsing violence.

Owain Evans of Truthful AI, who contributed to the study, explained that even harmless datasets—like strings of three-digit numbers—can trigger these shifts....<<<Read More>>>....

Physical ChatGPT robots and people: how we will live together

 Artificial intelligence (AI) is not only a feature of computers and smartphones, but also of physical robots that can sense, act and interact with the world around them.

These robots, known as Physical AI, are designed to look and behave like humans or other animals, and to possess intellectual capabilities normally associated with biological organisms. In this article, we will explore the current state and future prospects of Physical AI, and how it could affect our lives in various domains.

One of the main challenges of Physical AI is to integrate different scientific disciplines, such as materials science, mechanical engineering, computer science, biology and chemistry, to create robots that can function autonomously and adaptively in complex and dynamic environments.

For example, researchers are developing sensors for robotic feet and fingers and skin that can mimic the touch and proprioception of humans and animals...<<<Read More>>>....

Robot surgery on humans could be trialled within decade after success on pig organs

 AI-trained robot carries out procedures on dead pig organs to remove gall bladders without any human help

Automated surgery could be trialled on humans within a decade, say researchers, after an AI-trained robot armed with tools to cut, clip and grab soft tissue successfully removed pig gall bladders without human help.

The robot surgeons were schooled on video footage of human medics conducting operations using organs taken from dead pigs. In an apparent research breakthrough, eight operations were conducted on pig organs with a 100% success rate by a team led by experts at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in the US.

The Royal College of Surgeons in the UK called it “an exciting development that shows great promise”, while John McGrath, a leading expert on robotic surgery in the UK, called the results “impressive” and “novel” and said it “takes us further into the world of autonomy”.

It opens up the possibility of replicating, en masse, the skills of the best surgeons in the world.

The technology allowing robots to handle complex soft tissues such as gallbladders, which release bile to aid digestion, is rooted in the same type of computerised neural networks that underpin widely used artificial intelligence tools such as Chat GPT or Google Gemini.

The surgical robots were slightly slower than human doctors but they were less jerky and plotted shorter trajectories between tasks. The robots were also able to repeatedly correct mistakes as they went along, asked for different tools and adapted to anatomical variation, according to a peer-reviewed paper published in the journal Science Robotics.

The authors from Johns Hopkins, Stanford and Columbia universities called it “a milestone toward clinical deployment of autonomous surgical systems”.

Almost all the 70,000 robotic procedures carried out annually in the NHS in England were fully controlled under human instruction, with only bone-cutting for hip and knee operations semi-autonomous, McGrath said. Last month the health secretary, Wes Streeting, said increasing robotic surgery was at the heart of a 10-year plan to reform the NHS and cut waiting lists. Within a decade, the NHS has said, nine in 10 of all keyhole surgeries will be carried out with robot assistance, up from one in five today....<<<Read More>>>...

AI May Be Faking Stupidity to Take Control of Us, Warns Researcher

 Joe Rogan frequently discusses artificial intelligence on his podcast, bringing in guests to explore one pressing question: What happens when machines outthink us?

In a recent episode, Rogan spoke with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy, an AI safety researcher, about the darker possibilities of advanced AI. The conversation took a sobering turn as Yampolskiy laid out why he believes AI could pose an existential threat.

Yampolskiy, a computer scientist with over a decade of AI risk research, told Rogan that many industry leaders privately estimate a 20-30% chance AI could wipe out humanity.

Rogan summarized the common optimistic view: AI could make life easier, cheaper, and better. But Yampolskiy disagreed sharply: “It’s actually not true. All of them are on the record the same: this is going to kill us. Their doom levels are insanely high. Not like mine, but still, 20 to 30 percent chance that humanity dies is a lot.”...<<<Read More>>>...

ChatGPT is being installed on your phone, even though it may cause psychosis

 ChatGPT is a conversational artificial intelligence (“AI”) system developed by OpenAI. OpenAI’s major shareholder is Microsoft, after it invested upwards of $13 billion in the company.

In a recent development, a May 2025 article titled ‘ChatGPT & Me. ChatGPT Is Me!’ discussed how ChatGPT can emulate the writing style of a specific author. The article highlighted that ChatGPT can generate content in the voice of a particular writer by analysing their style and mimicking it, sparking discussions around the implications of AI-generated content and its impact on content creators and intellectual property.

Additionally, there are various specialised versions of ChatGPT, such as “ChatGPT – Tutor Me,” which provides personalised AI tutoring for subjects like mathematics, science and humanities. There is also “ChatGPT – Write For Me,” which serves as a supercharged writing assistant.

Not only is ChatGPT targeting educational, business and journalistic settings, but it can also aid in the creation of creative content, such as image creation and generating bedtime stories for children. ChatGPT’s applications are diverse and continue to expand (see HERE, HERE and HERE for example). Its proponents claim that these variations demonstrate the versatility of ChatGPT in catering to different user needs and preferences, and, of course, it is a beneficial tool to all.

But as a reader, whom we have called Rupert, points out below, ChatGPT is a mind-manipulating tool that is automatically being installed on smartphones as an “upgrade.” Rupert shared an excerpt from a recent podcast about “ChatGPT psychosis” to demonstrate how dangerous ChatGPT is....<<<Read More>>>...
