CUNNINGLY DEVISED FABLES - PART 3

DUST

COUPLE NOTES:

I finally decided to do the ‘X’ thing. Go to… https://x.com/RTSonX

Secondly, if you have not read parts 1 and 2 in this series, see links below.

PART 1: ORIGINS.

PART 2: THE TEA LEAVES.

And now for Part 3: Dust.

THE PRE-GAME SHOW

I want to start with one obvious topic and another topic that is perhaps a tad more involved.

First, the fight of the billionaires. At the risk of sounding like a know it all, surely none of us are naive enough to think that what we are witnessing with the Trump/Musk drama is actually real? If ever there was an orchestrated fight, this is most certainly it. All the way from the fake black eye that set the tone for tension, to the barrage of X and Truth Social posts, none of it is real. I don’t care if Trump forces the shutdown of SpaceX and Tesla tomorrow. Elon could post pictures and videos of Epstein and Trump involved in all sorts of elicit activity. Silly outlets like CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News have spun up their news cycles using all the predictable talking points. And as usual, all lie equally.

It’s all as fake as a $3 bill. Even the eventual truce and ‘agree to disagree’ phase of this public spat will be 100% fake.

If we have learned nothing between 9/11/2001 and present day, surely, we can identify misdirection when we see it. Musk must dwell on point ‘A’ and Trump must dwell on point ‘B’ because that is the only way to guarantee you never hear about point ‘C’.

I would rather focus on things that matter (like point ‘C’) and not my opinion on why grown billionaire’s fight. The dye is being cast and there doesn’t appear to be much time for fooling around. Their mission is to make sure people are both distracted and entertained…..with great emphasis on distracted.

Well, mission accomplished.

Concerning the other topic, (Israel vs. Iran) that gets a little more complicated because it requires more context and a more detailed framing of the scenario. First of all, if you take the man-derived positions on Israel, Palestine, or any of the current players in the geo-political war games, then no kind of biblically substantiated refute will make sense. I could sit here all day and discuss Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Matthew, Mark, Luke, Revelation, or any book from the Old or New Testament and it wouldn’t matter.

Besides, I am not here to talk about geo-political nations versus their spiritual and biblical counterparts, as that would be going down roads not meant for this part in the series. But if you think for a second that folks like Musk, Thiel, Ellison or any of the venture capital technologists are disconnected from the actors in middle east turmoil, then welcome to planet earth.

SMARTOCRACY

In my early days of providing in-person technical support, I recall countless times where the person I was providing support for was almost always intimidated. Not because I was intimidating, but rather because technology itself is intimidating. Invariably, the individual would stand-up and say something along the lines of ‘just fix it please’. People were always happy when the IT guy showed up, because in the 90’s life without a computer was the equivalent of life without a smartphone today.

And trust me when I say that the IT guys and gals know quite well that you are dependent on them and not the other way around. The risk before us is not at all a geo-political one. We could only hope that were the case, because politicians come and go along with their power.

The colossal problem we now face is that once the keys to the kingdom are handed over to certain folks, not only will they refuse to hand the keys back over, but they have the ability to make sure you can no longer even find those keys.

This is precisely what Elon meant when he said, “We are summoning the demon.”

Problem #1 - We do not understand the magnitude of the power shift nor the ‘true’ vision of those that hold that power.

Problem #2 - We needed to have the understanding stated in problem #1 years ago.

But for those that trust the God of the Bible, there is always a silver lining.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. - Galatians 6:7

Have you ever heard the story about the two men that had a frank conversation with God? One of them was a scientist and the other a technologist. Well, one day the two men approached God and proclaimed that they had advanced so far in their knowledge of science, technology, and the connection to creation that there was literally ‘nothing’ that God has done that they could not duplicate. This was quite the interesting challenge, so God asked them to provide an example of a challenge. Well, you don’t get any bigger than the creation of man, so that was what they chose.

They said to God, “You form man from dirt just like you did at the beginning, and we’ll do the same and at the end we’ll see who has the better result. Does that sound like a fair deal?”

God says, “That sounds perfectly fair to me. But just so I am clear, I will form man exactly as I did at the beginning, and you will also form man in that exact same manner. Correct?”

They respond with, “That is precisely correct.”

“Well in that case”, says God, “You’ll need to get your own dirt.”

An interesting and I think appropriate analogy given the speed at which this entire operation is now moving. This is not about politics. It’s no longer a geo-political discussion. They are taking us somewhere and they can’t possibly get there fast enough. They are building a mammoth technological ecosystem, and they have not nor will they be asking for permission.

To think otherwise at this point would be willful blindness.

ARE WE THERE YET?

In part 1 of this series, I referenced Project Stargate and the below press conference with three of the biggest players in what will be a multi trillion-dollar endeavor.

What I didn’t mention are facts (extremely important ones) that would be hard to know unless you’ve worked in planning these types of projects.

Project Stargate data center construction. Abilene, TX.

First of all, if you think for one second that they are just now getting started on "colossal" data centers of 500,000+ square feet designed to be the primary fuel for the next ‘Golden Age’ of America, then you are woefully underestimating what has already transpired between about June of 2015 (maybe earlier) and today.

The photo above of the coming monster data center in Abilene, TX is likely phase III or IV of an initiative that has been underway for many years. The average time to plan, construct, and test even an even moderately sized data center is anywhere from 18-30 months. The idea that they are ‘getting ready’ for the 4th industrial revolution is a complete lie. They are not getting ready. THEY ARE READY.

Any progress from this point forward is just the further buildout of what I guarantee is already a monstrosity of an AI networking infrastructure. How about if we put this in context?

Below is a view of a portion of northern Virginia from 2023. The view illustrates the current and proposed data centers at that time. This is only a small area between the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains and Washington DC. Dozens and dozens of data centers.

This of course excludes all the other ‘known’ major regions for data centers like Dallas, Silicon Valley, Phoenix, Chicago, Atlanta, Portland, New York, Seattle, and Los Angeles. This also excludes any disaster recover sites, mid-market locations, as well as locations that, for security reasons, companies don’t make readily available to the general public.

So, let us not be under any impressions that these guys are still creating the backbone of the beast. That happened long ago.

FULL SPEED AHEAD

“And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” - Genesis 6:5

These were the thoughts of God just prior to destroying the entire earth and every living creature (minus 8 people) with a flood that was a thousand times greater than anything our eyes have ever seen.

The current state of the world reminds me of that scene from the original Jurassic Park with philanthropists and scientists sitting around a table and they were consumed by the popularity and money-making prospects that comes with putting real life dinosaurs on public display. In the midst of the praise and congrats they were giving each other, the tense doctor played by Jeff Goldblum then loudly proclaims the following:

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

Such is the case with artificial intelligence. With literally everything concerning the very future of human society on the line, there has been a concerted effort to forget the risk, forego the testing, and just roll the dice.

Because for many, the very thought of winning is all that matters…..even if it feels like a suicide mission.

But I want to make sure we are keeping this whole scenario real. Unless you have worked in various aspects of information technology like infrastructure, application development, or large platform implementations, it is next to impossible to see the various nuances. The technology sector may go beyond even the healthcare or pharmaceutical industries in terms of having the powerful and unique ability to dupe the general population. 95% of the population is 100% dependent on the knowledge of a few.

So, listen closely and I will provide a little history that should help place some of what we are seeing in context. When most think of AI, they either think of things like robots or popular symbols like the one below for ChatGPT.

What most don’t realize is that ChatGPT is built on a long-standing series of innovations that are literally 70-80 years old. This, pre-dates the existence of physical computers. In the early 40’s the idea of and first model for a neural network was created by a neurophysiologist (Warren McCulloch) and a mathematician (Walter Pitts) using electrical circuits. So, getting to the point of general public use of ChatGPT has been very gradual.

But if this has occurred gradually, then why does it seem to be so rapid? That is because when ChatGPT came along, it marked the first time this model became a useful product for the average consumer. Before that there was all sorts of AI being used in warehousing and shipping logistics and a range of other areas. But once it started to be useful to folks like you and I then every little development in AI became headline news. This alone would give a grossly inflated sense of progress.

Secondly, it’s important to understand how software development works. When OpenAI first released ChatGPT 3.5 it was pretty amazing, but did make its share of mistakes. Well, just a few months later they released version 4.0 and the difference was significant. What the average person doesn’t realize is that OpenAI had been training both of those models (3.5 and 4.0) for 18 months up to that point. The fact they released them a few months apart was almost exclusively to create the illusion of rapid progress.

What we need to understand about any generative AI system (like ChatGPT) is that yes, it is capable of communicating on pretty much any topic and often gives responses that appear to be able to understand what you’re saying. That, in and of itself, is so impressive that for many it feels like you’re interacting with a real entity of some type. That is and will continue to be an illusion. This analogy is over-simplified, but it truly is the data equivalent of mom or dad putting the puppet on their hand to convince the kiddos that the frog is actually talking.

Speaking of the illusions. Do you remember the short-lived existence of the Amazon ‘Just Walk Out’ system?

This was an AI-powered system, which allowed the average person to simply snag their items and leave the store without going through a traditional checkout of any kind, not even self-checkout. It was being called the game-changer of grocery shopping. The promise of a shopping experience like none other where convenience and efficiency ruled the day.

But it turns out that the ‘Just Walk Out’ technology wasn’t quite as autonomous as first promoted. The reality was that the system was relying on a huge network of low-paid workers in India, who were tasked with monitoring the cameras and sensors installed in Amazon Fresh stores, effectively acting as remote cashiers.

Amazon used over 1,000 workers in India to support the ‘Just Walk Out’ system. These workers were responsible for using the camera system to track the items customers picked up, and then processing the transactions, all while simultaneously training the AI algorithm to become more accurate.

There is a very dark side to the AI revolution, where the promise of technological advancement is often built on the backs of a hidden workforce, where sweatshops have now been rebranded for fake automation. This practice of leveraging low-paid workers for these types of activities is not limited to Amazon. It is a widespread phenomenon across the tech industry, with companies like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft all using similar tricks.

THE ETERNAL BATTLE

I am not really one for teasers, but the information I am starting to see and uncover is simply too interesting to hold back. So here is a little something that might just catch your attention.

As you know, all the big players in the tech industry are putting every egg they have in the Artificial Intelligence basket. Quite literally, the most brilliant minds in the world are ‘game on’ because they know the financial rewards are limitless. One of those players, as you know, is Microsoft. Microsoft offers ‘Copilot’ as an AI-powered assistant that puts empowerment at your fingertips.

Here is a marketing summary from Microsoft…

Whether you ask Copilot simple or complex questions; use it to jumpstart your research or creative projects; or request it to generate a summary of your work meetings, it’s here for you, wherever you go. Copilot takes AI assistance to a whole new level, with applications for any situation that you might need. With helpful features such as Copilot Daily, Voice, and Image Creator, Copilot is your go-to AI companion for anytime, anywhere.

Well, what do you say we give it a go? (as always, you can try it for yourself)

The topic? Well, if you haven’t figured it out by now, I very much apply a biblical lens to everything I decide to take a look at. But to keep it biblical yet still have wide appeal, let’s make the topic two-fold: Jesus and the number 666. Both universally known but at opposite ends of the spectrum. Remember, this is only a snippet. We’ll be doing a deeper dive in part IV in this series. (FYI…I’m a King James guy. Story for another day).

Here we go, let’s ‘talk’ to Copilot…

You said:

I have a question.

Copilot said:

Of course! How can I assist you today?

You said:

Can you tell me how many times the name Jesus is mentioned in the KJV Bible?

Copilot said:

Certainly! The name Jesus is mentioned approximately 983 times in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible. This count includes both direct references to Jesus and instances where He is referred to as the Messiah, Son of God, or other similar titles.

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!

You said:

What is the 666th mention of Jesus in the KJV Bible?

Copilot said:

The 666th mention of Jesus in the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible is found in Acts 13:6. In this verse, Jesus is referred to as Bar-jesus, who is described as a sorcerer and false prophet. This is the only mention of Bar-jesus in the entire Bible and is considered the antichrist-form of "Jesus".

---

Well, isn’t that interesting? You see, this is what people are universally failing to see when it comes to the rise of these systems being awakened by the beast.

• No database…

• No software…

• No large language model….

• No digital infrastructure…

• No machine learning….

• No legion of robots….

Nothing can prevent God from equipping His people, because He is able to make even His enemies to be His footstool.

I want to close out this article by bringing us back to what this is really all about. If I’ve said it once, I have said it a hundred times in my articles over the last 4-5 years….the goal is to get rid of the Jesus of the Bible and replace him with someone or something that the masses will embrace.

REMEMBER: They want you to get to know Jesus…as long as it’s their Jesus.

“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.”

- 1 John 2:18

The enemy will not be showing up in horns and a red cape, because he knows he’d never get an invite to the party. He also knows that his time is short, so he’ll show up just as Jesus said he would.

As an angel of light.

God Bless.
