"Well that was a pretty good article, until we got to the "ATTENTION" section, where it goes a bit weird.
Problems:
Musk does not have "unlimited capital" - no one does (other than God!). He's wealthy and influential, but even his enterprises eventually need to turn a profit.
Speaking of profit, OpenAI, one of the largest AI companies, is a long way off profitability. I just heard figures that suggested an annual turnover of something like $11bn, with losses at around $76bn (I forget the exact figures). That's not sustainable.
I think the author is wrong about AI training. From what I hear, it's one of the biggest problems in AI at the moment. Companies are spending billions creating model-training infrastructure, which is considerably more powerful than the author's MacBook Pro.
The "mark of the Beast" clearly has a strong spiritual implication in Revelation, almost regardless of your particular eschatology. A device used as a payment method (like an RFID chip, in your phone, your watch or your wrist) is not a spiritual thing. It's a tool, no more or less evil than a screwdriver.
"Artificial intelligence" isn't intelligent. It doesn't know anything. It's just a sophisticated language generator with a massive dataset. Half the fear of AI comes from misunderstanding its nature.
I'm personally a bit more concerned about the actively hostile intentions of certain atheistic foreign states. But all of these concerns must be subject to the power of Almighty God.
My poor brain now needs some downtime to cope with what I have just read. It's a little beyond me, sadly, although I can just about grasp thr basic idea. Wow, it is mind-blowing, I think I am going to forward this to my son who is incredibly computer literate and also loves the Lord and ascertain from him his opinion.
The only thing which does not thrill me is the length of years we appear to still have on this earth before Jesus comes for His Bride, as I have mentioned, I am ancient so it's looking more likely I will die here whereas I was so looking forward to not dying plus the experience of the rapture. Yes I know that the dead in Christ will rise first but . . . .As ever you are stretching all our brains and that's no bad thing, thank you so much, Scott - see ya!
Great article brother. This is the first time I have heard about this concept and it's very interesting as a network engineer. Definitely will be tracking this.

AI factories in space? Puny!"
Should people not use Starlink when no other internet is available? I imagine Starlink users are helping them fine tune their technology
