All Out War Podcast Notes - AI and the Beast System

The following are podcast notes from Episode 180 of the All Out War podcast, where I discuss what AI is, how it might be involved in the end times, what we should be concerned about, what we shouldn't, and what we can/should do about it.

A little about me:

• I started programming at the age of 11.
• When I was 12, I made 40 video games in one year and made them available for free on a website I made.
• When I was 13, I got an internship at a game development company, which involved learning things like 3D modeling, linear algebra, physics, and multiple computer programming languages.
• By 14, I had started an online community that grew to 7,000+ members and had marketing partnerships with game development companies in England and the US.
• At 17 I got a job at a cybersecurity company working on an Artificial Intelligence that made analysts 30% more efficient by learning what they did and replicating and streamlining it.
• I went on to work at for-profit, non-profit, private sector and public sector organizations doing everything from software engineering to systems architecture, to cybersecurity work.
• I’ve made various AIs for myself that wrote and produced music, assisted with research, simulated approximate human behavior and even created human languages and translated between them and ours.
• I currently have an AI lab in my home where I experiment with various AI models and customizations.

What is AI?

• “the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior” — Merriam Webster Dictionary
• The Turing Test (imitation game)
• Claude Shannon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_Shannon
• There are many different kinds of AI and approaches to it. Here are three big ones that are worth knowing right now
  • Machine Learning
    • Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on the development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to perform tasks without explicit programming. Instead of being programmed with specific instructions, machine learning systems learn from data, identifying patterns and making decisions based on that data.
  • Deep Neural Networks
    • Deep neural networks (DNNs) are a class of artificial neural networks that consist of multiple layers of interconnected nodes (neurons). They are designed to model complex patterns in data and are particularly effective for tasks such as image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition.
  • Large Language Models
    • Large Language Models (LLMs) are a type of artificial intelligence model designed to understand, generate, and manipulate human language. They are built using deep learning techniques, particularly neural networks, and are trained on vast amounts of text data.
• Speaking to ChatGPT verballing and asking it to make an image would mean you are interacting with multiple types of AI, a DNN for speech recognition and conversion, an LLM to process your request and how to reply, and handful of different AIs for generating the image.

Main Notes

• Chip war
  • TSMC Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company #1 chip producer
    • Tensions with China wanting control over Taiwan and our protection of their nation
  • Professor Chris Miller writes in his book "Chip War" that losing access even temporarily to TSMC would mean devastating destruction of the global economy.

• AI Warfare
  • Economic (Supply chains)
    • Companies that produce, empower and use AI are becoming the backbone of the stock market and thus the American economy.
      • Nvidia has increased its value in the stock market by 775% since ChatGPT was released to the general public in November of 2022, going from $16 a share to $124 as of yesterday (3/1/2025).
  • Physical (AI acting as tacticians and strategists)
  • Mental (Psychological warfare)
• Mass manipulation and moderation (Psychological warfare)
  • Imagine an artificial intelligence that can control what people see and hear
  • Imagine it can also silence those it doesn’t want heard (censorship)
  • Imagine how it could influence people, understanding psychology, in small ways knowing the domino effect that would lead to anything from the assassination of and individual or global war without any direct or provable links back to it, because the individuals seemingly chose to do what they did of their own free (guided) will.
• One World Order
  • “It’s only god if only one company or government controls it.” – Mark Zuckerberg on AI https://youtu.be/7k1ehaE0bdU?si=pppsoLgt-HloujT2&t=7547
  • "Infinitely patient, infinitely wise, infinitely loving" - Marc Andreesen

• Outsourcing thought and memory
  • Christians will need to protect and maintain access to genuine information.
• Weird questions
  • What if influencers are the false prophets in the end times?
    • Mark Zuckerberg has mentioned how people now look to influencers more than their own governments or news outlets to tell them what is true. If they become the gatekeepers of truth, perhaps they will be involved in the false teachings of the end times.
  • Can we make an AI that is more intelligent than an angel, fallen or otherwise?
    • If the answer to that question is yes, demons will utilize it. They would be foolish not to.
  • Have fallen angels already created their own forms of AI?
  • What if fallen angels are simply using us to create AI for their own benefit?
  • What if they want to create a super intelligence that is even smarter and more knowledgeable than them that they can possess?
• What do we do about it?
  • Christians aren’t called to sit back and watch. We need to be educated and involved technically (as engineers), politically (if it ever comes to voting), and ethically (as ethics are attempted to be implemented into AI we need to fight for moral values).
  • The more normalized it becomes and educated and involved we are, we can help shape what it becomes.
  • We can’t stop the bad uses of AI but we can promote the positive uses.
