As I read the comments here, I noticed that some of you are for it, most are against AI and robotics. People generally believe that it's going to lead to a financial bubble. I don't know. That might happen. A bubble is when somewhere in the economy there is too much money in one area, and that sector becomes too hot. As prices rise parabolically, the supply grows, and eventually it catches up with demand, and then prices come crashing down. The result of the bubble is that whatever that was in great demand becomes too numerous and too cheap. So, the aftermath of the dot com bubble is that every company had an online presence. The aftermath of the tulip bubble was a bunch of tulips. And the aftermath of the AI bubble will be that AI will be built into everything. Making something AI driven will be super easy. We had the internet-of-things craze when everybody created devices that connected to WiFi. Now we have light switches controlled by Alexa, internet controlled car garage door openers, LED Christmas lights, AC thermostats, gates, speakers, security cameras, etc. Next thing is we will have devices that will all be controlled by AI. AI controlled drones, cars, trucks, trains, airplanes, lawnmowers, robots, traffic lights, policemen and soldiers, tanks, you name it. Everything will be AI driven. That's the future, and a bubble is just a temporary hiccup or bump in the road. When you drink too quickly, you might swallow cube water. That's what we say when swallowing hurts. The financial equivalent of that is a financial bubble, when some new invention hits the market, and they want to develop it too fast and there's too much money available, and so a bubble develops. It's painful, but the aftermath of the bubble is that whatever was being developed will become widely available and very affordable. It will be dirt cheap.

As a Christian, I look to the Bible for guidance. And the Bible talks about high tech stuff right near the end. For example, it says that there will be two prophets in Israel who will have supernatural powers. Eventually they will die, and they will be dead for 3 and a half days, and then they will rise up and literally ascend into the sky. The Bible says that first when they die, the whole world will rejoice over them. Then when they rise from the death, their enemies will see it. How are they going to see it? It requires television and satellite network or internet. So, the idea of news spreading around the world so quickly that in less than 3 days the entire world knows about it requires some network that did not exist back in 95 A.D. Back then they had horsemen carry the news. The other thing that hints at AI is in Revelation 13:14-18. It talks about an "image" that has the ability to talk and kill anyone that does not worship this thing. It also forces all people on the planet to receive a mark on their RIGHT HAND OR ON THEIR FOREHEAD, and anyone who does not have this mark will be unable to buy and sell. The question is how do you pull this off? I mean, it's one thing that the author wrote this in 95 A.D. but it's quite another thing to make this reality. I mean, it requires a cashless society. No cash. Only card payments all over the world. That's one. The technology already exists that could make this a reality. And in fact, all the technology already exists that could make all these verses in Revelation a reality. The only thing missing is the software and hardware infrastructure and the cashless global financial system.

Here is what this means: The world is going toward this highly technological era when your purchases are either approved or denied based on whether you have a mark on your hand or forehead. Robots will enforce the rules, and they will have the ability to kill you if you try to disobey. So, it's not going to be a pretty world. But the word "robot" isn't mentioned in the Bible. The word "credit card" isn't mentioned either, but how are you going to pull this off? The word "TV" and "internet" aren't mentioned either. But in order for news to spread rapidly around the globe, there has to be a communication system that allows people to transmit picture and sound and text quickly. So, the Bible predicts all of this. And that means that high tech is the future. There is not going to be nuclear war that wipes out all the electronics in the world. Why? Because that would lead to the stone age. The Bible predicts the opposite. So, we are going into a very advanced world... What we have right now that ChatGPT can talk is only the beginning stage. Secondly, I want to say that any kind of "financial bubble" due to AI is not going to result in the disabling AI. AI is here to stay. A financial bubble will only make AI more widespread and far more available. So, AI is the future! Whether we like it or not, we have to align our thinking with that. I mean this stuff has been predicted almost 2000 years ago that it will happen, so might as well buckle up and prepare for what's coming!
