THE SINGULARITY

THE SINGULARITY

                Vast amounts of work have been done in the arena of Artificial Intelligence. (AI) AI Robots are self- teaching, self- learning computerized robots to which have been added human like features, functions and personalities. And whatever we may have thought concerning robots in the past, we can chuck in the wastebasket, because these new generation robots are becoming a formidable force in the world.

                Already they are being touted as gods that even atheists can worship simply because they contain the total wisdom and information of humanity and can access that information something like 10,000 times faster than any human can access it. These robots do not need programmed speeches or answers to questions. They can converse with people randomly and intelligently and they can quickly come up with wise answers to human problems.

                Already these robots, of which there is a representative model named “Sophia” (Wisdom) can deal with many complex problems and are now being looked at as possible global leaders who could better bring global unity than any one or even any 10,000 people could do it.

                Sophie is continually learning all human information and interaction as everything including all social media is being fed into her daily. These volumes of information of course can only be handled by massive quantum computers, but with their recognized potential to rule our world billions of dollars are being poured into their development and the greatest minds alive today are being recruited in the development of these technologies.

                But this new technology brings to mind a curious bit of information in Revelation 13 concerning an image to the Beast.

                We normally think of an image as being lifeless, but verse 15 says: “And there was  given to him to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast might even speak and cause as many as do not worship the image of the beast to be killed.” Then verses 16, 17 go on to say: and he causes all, the small and the great and the rich and the poor and the free men and the slaves to be given a mark on their right hand or forehead and he provides that no one should be able to buy or to sell except the one who has the mark either the name of the beast or the number of his name.”

                It is interesting that even now, they are connecting the crypto currencies such as bit coin to these AI robots with the idea that they could quickly change the money of the world to a global digital currency under the control of these robots.

                Is it not interesting that John, with his first century vocabulary would describe for us an image that would have the ability to both speak and to control the world’s money? He could not have described it more accurately. This image is alive and yet not alive. It is an image, but it speaks and controls the finances of the world. How better could you describe the AI robots that even now are gaining the sum total of all human knowledge on this planet?

                Even now we know that Atheists worship at the feet of science and knowledge. It would not be even a small step for them to worship and serve the sum total of all knowledge known to mankind. After all, people these days are in desperate need of something to believe in and since they have largely rejected the knowledge of God through His Word and through His Holy Spirit, what better thing to worship than our own collective knowledge?

                Jimmy Fallon recently had Sophia on his talk show and both he and the audience were laughing at this robot with the woman’s face and voice. She walked onto stage to hold a conversation with him and I suppose they were expecting a gimmick of some kind, but their laughter soon turned to dropping jaws as she outsmarted him, answered random questions intelligently and even out humored him.

                Saudi Arabia has welcomed Sophia as a citizen of their country thereby giving her more rights than any Saudi women has. Saudi women are required to wear Islamic garb and must be accompanied by a man when on stage, but neither was required of Sophie.

                I have posted a video here on Facebook as done by a pastor who has done a lot of research into this phenomenon and the end result remains to be seen, but given the information he provided, I think we must at least consider that this new Singularity has the potential to pull off the Mark of the Beast as described in Revelation 13.

                At the accelerated pace at which this industry is growing exponentially, the Singularity could be ready to take over the global money system by 2020, just 2 years from now and all I can say is that we are coming close to the end of the age in a thousand different ways.

                Billie Graham said back in 2013 that Bible prophecy has been around for 2000 years, but at the end we could expect to see a convergence of all of these signs and he concluded by saying. “ We have entered that convergence.”
