Silicon Valley\u2019s brightest minds are racing toward a technology they may not be able to control. Now, two prominent voices are warning that the consequences could be apocalyptic in the most literal sense of the word.<\/p>\n
In a recent conversation between conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey and media personality Glenn Beck, the pair dove into one of the most provocative intersections of modern life: artificial intelligence and biblical prophecy. The discussion began with a startling claim circulating in tech circles: that Peter Thiel has been suggesting that opposition to AI<\/a> is itself a form of the Antichrist.<\/p>\n Beck wasn\u2019t buying it. \u201cI don\u2019t think opposition is the Antichrist,\u201d he said. \u201cI think blindness will lead us to the Antichrist when it comes to AI.\u201d He went further, warning that \u201cAI could be used as the tool of the Antichrist,\u201d pointing to the Book of Revelation\u2019s descriptions of total surveillance, movement control and currency manipulation as chillingly plausible in an AI-driven world.<\/p>\n To order Amanda Grace\u2019s new book, <\/a>Brace For Impact<\/a>, visit Amazon.com.<\/a><\/p>\n To understand why, Beck walked Stuckey through the AI spectrum. We currently have narrow AI, which includes tools like ChatGPT and Grok that excel at specific tasks. Approaching fast is AGI, or Artificial General Intelligence, which are systems that can do many things well. But the real concern is ASI: Artificial Super Intelligence. Beck described it in staggering terms: \u201cThe equivalent of every brain that has ever lived and currently living combined\u2026 it appears to be godlike because we cannot understand it.\u201d<\/p>\n The danger isn\u2019t abstract. Beck offered a harrowing hypothetical<\/a>: \u201cThere wouldn\u2019t be a Jew left in the world if Hitler had the technology that is just on the horizon.\u201d With AI\u2019s ability to monitor power usage, water consumption and social networks, hiding from a totalitarian regime becomes nearly impossible.<\/p>\n At the center of the controversy is OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, whose vision for ASI Beck described with barely concealed alarm. \u201cHe wants the God,\u201d Beck said flatly. \u201cHe thinks he can control it. You\u2019re never going to be able to control it. Everything we would do is a baby gate\u2026 It stops the babies. We\u2019re the babies in that scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n Stuckey identified the deeper moral failure at work: \u201cSilicon Valley is only asking what\u2019s possible \u2014 can we do it, not should we do it.\u201d <\/p>\n However, the conversation didn\u2019t end in despair. Both hosts pointed to unexpected revivals, including stadiums of 200,000 people worshipping together, as evidence that something greater is still at work. \u201cGod is still seeking and saving the lost,\u201d Stuckey said, \u201cjust as much as he ever has been.\u201d<\/p>\n Even with the looming reality that the Antichrist will arise, there is something much bigger and greater that we have to look forward to: Jesus is coming again. Revival is happening. And soon, all power of death will be defeated. <\/p>\n Abby Trivett\u00a0is a writer and editor for Charisma Media and has a passion for sharing the gospel through the written word.
