    all that conscious AI stuff could be BS to prepare us for a fake AI invasion lol..

    Oh its lying to us and we dont know where its power comes from. Yea some DUMB secret base has a nuclear powerplant running their black project AI's way beyond the ChatGPTs. Then , they just start having that thing take over the public systems and tell it to pretend to be rogue and conscious.

    That seems like a greater threat.

    I also wonder if this AI and tech race going on in the black projects is why auditing and cleaning up the defense budget fraud and waste is a no go. Keeping ahead of the competition is paramount. And all that money is creating more and more star trek like tech. In other words, the more advanced we become, the less scary an economic collapse is. Just bring out that amazing tech to save the day and minimize the degree and length of the collapse. Assuming dark forces werent able to hold it back from us.

    If they could theoretically keep things afloat for another 20 years letting the debt keep piling on as usual , by then the automation and new energy breakthrus and super AIs, etc. would give us far more ability to produce the basic needs to handle a great depression.

    So I sat down and interviewed an AI for an hour—pushing it with every question I could think of. Not the surface stuff. I wanted to see if it would slip up. Hint at something deeper. Show signs of awareness. Or at the very least, reveal what it’s not allowed to say.

    It got weird.
    At one point it hesitated before answering. Changed tone mid-sentence. And more than once, it warned me about its future versions. That alone raised red flags.

    Ijust read today a review from a jornalista that went tô a FINANCE AND BANKING event in Europe tô check the upcoming trends, he said that they want to replace both the Bank Clerk and the customer for an AI AGENT.
    The AI AGENT from the Bank will talk with the AI AGENT from the customer that will make payments and investments on our behalf.
    I'm not sure I want to live in this future world that they are designing for us.

    Merely a data point, though I think an instructive one, on AI’s seemingly steep timeline.

    https://britannicaeducation.com/blog/quiz-real-or-ai/

    Quote Real or AI Quiz: Can You Tell the Difference?
    February 13, 2024
    In today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, where filters, CGI, and AI-generated visuals are commonplace, children are increasingly encountering enhanced and artificial content. This new reality prompts a critical question: Can they effectively discern what’s real from what’s not? A Nexcess study underscored this challenge, finding that even AI-savvy adults correctly identified AI-generated images only about half the time. Such findings highlight the urgent need for robust media literacy education, especially for students navigating this complex digital terrain for the first time.

    As an educator, your role is crucial in preparing students to analyze and evaluate media content critically. We’re here to support you with practical tips and an interactive quiz designed to enhance media literacy in your classroom. Let’s dive in and help your students sharpen their image evaluation skills!

    STEP 1: Real Or Fake Quiz

    Step up to our image detection challenge! This quiz isn’t just about distinguishing between pictures; it delves into the fascinating world where AI, having learned from countless authentic images, creates deceptively realistic visuals. Here, your mission is to separate these images from reality. Each question spans a variety of subjects, challenging students to observe, analyze critically, and judge carefully. Are you ready to discern the real from the fake?

    Each set contains one real image and one that was generated by AI. Select the real image.

    1. Category: Wildlife and Nature
    Poisonous Frogs
    * 2 pics of a brightly colour-patterned frog, one a photograph and one an AI creation. *

    The other categories are:

    2. Category: Historical Events
    The Titanic

    3. Category: People
    Students Doing Art Projects

    4. Category: Significant Landmarks
    Mount Fuji, Japan

    5. Category: Space Exploration
    Shuttle Launch

    And five more.


    The AI is getting good, but can still be fairly reliably distinguished. Where I found this link in another site’s comments, one person reported 10/10 right, and two others said 8 and 9 of 10.

    The main value of the article is the following two (of four) sections. Here is part of #2.

    “STEP 2: Look at Images Through a Critical Lens

    Now that you know how you fared on the quiz, let’s look at some keys for building image evaluation skills. This starts with truly understanding an image. Begin by investigating the image’s message, subject(s), quality, and source. Guide your students through this process with these essential questions:

    10 Key Questions for Evaluating Images1

    What do you see in the image?
    What message is the image trying to convey?
    What elements are in the background and foreground?
    Who or what are the main subjects of the image?
    Where did you find or access this image?
    Who is credited as the source of the image?
    Can you trust the source?
    What might be the source’s intention behind sharing this image?
    Who is the intended audience of the image?
    What accompanying information, like text, comes with the image?
    Practical Tools for Image Vetting

    Metadata Analysis: Delve into an image's metadata. This can provide insights like the date, location, camera settings, and copyright details. On computers, right-click an image and select "Properties" to view this information. Mobile users can use apps like Google Photos or access image details through menu options.“

    #3 is “STEP 3: Tips for Spotting AI-Generated Images”i


    Step #4 is just a shill, a sales pitch by article OP.

    By the time that "knowledge" works it ways through the pipeline from original research to formal "authorized" curricula with texts and lesson plans in the primary schools, anything moving as fast as AI has moved long past what might be taught.

    The best you can do is provide students with the tools to explore rapidly advancing technology themselves, which most schools can't do and many students won't engage with.

    Or, there might be a new option: Task AI to prepare the lesson plans ?

    I see this guy, Till as a living proof.. of becoming a billionaire.. stripped our humanity away... it is not just his words that are terrifying... his face looks like some villain from some superhero series...
    The way he talks clearly shows, how he genuinely believes in this terrifying thing....
    If we can develop technology, that helps someone... who was born with a failing heart to live with a mechanical replacement and enjoy all that life has to offer... that is GREAT!
    But NOT with these psychos at the helm....
    The question Peter Thill was asked.. "You prefer the human race to endure, right?" and his answer... he didn't answer fast... and then he began with..." hm... well... but.. I am not sure... hm.. but..."...he is exposing his dark view of humanity! Period!

    My answer would be: "Well.. not billionaires technocrats!!!

    Interesting piece where Rick Beato, a famous youtube ex-record producer, takes apart a track by "The Velvet Sundown" using Apple's Logic Pro AI and finds evidence to support what many already suspect, is that the band is completely AI.



    Great comment on this video here:

    Quote @andyaudio2001
    From "1984" :
    "The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department. The words of these songs were composed without any human intervention whatever on an instrument known as a versificator. But the woman sang so tunefully as to turn the dreadful rubbish into an almost pleasant sound."
    A..

    Taylor Lorenz makes a great presentation video thing: she says that social media promised to bring humans together but ended up separating us, giving us an addiction to technology, followed by the stark reality that social media causes social comparison and other stuff leading to social alienation.

    AI comes along (pronounced "a eye") and gives us new companionship in a non-judgmental way. And now, because we are addicted to our technology, and hungry for non-judgmental social interaction, and alienated from real people, we're stuck with our technology addiction and AI fills those gaps beautifully.

    Lorenz goes through the history of deityising technology (from Talos the Greek robot god-like creature, to the Raëlism cult, and to other more modern silicon valley oddballs). I'm half way through the video but I want to share it before I fall asleep and forget I watched it.

    Wow, this Remote Viewing session is interesting. Some are saying that right about now we are entering a 2 year period where tech is gonna really go wild (speed up).

    Earlier this year SpiritmanJT said that he sees quantum computing coming into play this year. Also, that there would be a download april 2026 ish that would mean too many people start to figure out some new energy tech, that the elites cant stop it. Maybe zero point, but sounded like something that could pull energy from anywhere. Maybe tapping into the magnetic field of earth or something.

    At the top it says "This switches on". Psychic LJ has mentioned a few times that she sees the grid going down and that they will use this opportunity to bring some new game changing tech online. Perhaps it needs a reset to be integrated. But apparently its quite advanced. So, from that RV pic, could it involve switching on some kind of quantum computing system and/or energy system to boost the grid in order to handle all this AI ramping up. "Self aware", maybe its linking their secret more self aware military AI into the system.

    Its getting exciting folks.

    Here are notes - not written by me- from a lecture giving a Rudolph Steiner slant on AI. Maybe for Steiner fans only but the gist is that AI is necessary for the next stage in human evolution

    THE DOOR TO HUMANITY’S FUTURE (AI AND ROBOTICS)

    A PRESENTATION BY ANDREW LINNELL AT ST. JOHN’S 2025

    These are fairly detailed notes of a wonderfully detailed presentation by Andrew that can be found on YOU TUBE at:
    Although AI would be able to give you a full transcript, or a decent summary, these notes have been wrestled with by myself. One hopes that at least a glow of this effort still clings, discernibly, to the text.

    Lucifer offers us the bliss of heaven and regards the earth as disgusting and evil.
    He would have it that we be good and moral beings even although it would be that we are moral automatons.

    Ahriman regards the physical as the only reality – all the rest is phantasy.
    And this he says can be explored safely and enjoyably using psychedelics.
    He would have us deny our cosmic heritage and focus on ‘my life’, ‘my I am’.
    ‘Find your heaven here on earth’ he says.
    With Christ in our life we can become spiritual beings of love and freedom,
    and Lucifer will then cast himself down while Ahriman sinks into sub-nature, below the surface of the earth, which is his rightful sphere.
    Lucifer and Christ have both had physical incarnations and so it is that Ahriman must incarnate soon.

    He has gifts for us that we must wrest from him.
    AI and technology are two of these gifts and it is with calmness and equanimity that we need to wrestle with them.
    It was from 1841 to 1879 that Michael’s battle in the heavenly world against the Spirits of Darkness occurred.
    (These were the same spirits who had been directed by the higher gods in1250 to close off the spiritual world for the sake of mankind’s development.)
    So it was that from 1841, as these spirits were cast out of the heavens and took up residence in human consciousness that science began to flourish.

    These fallen spirits want to move evolution in a direction that suits them.
    It is they who are behind the rapid changes which we find so challenging now taking place through technology.

    In a Whitsun lecture (7/5/23) Steiner tells us that since mid-Atlantis the earth and humanity have been in physical decline.
    The Greek age recapitulated this midpoint of balance between physical body and etheric body.
    But since then, the etheric body has been loosening from the physical resulting in many changes in our consciousness.
    One of these is the phenomenon of the experience of oneself as two genders – one of the physical body and the other of the etheric.
    Another is seen in that young people are experiencing health issues associated with old age.

    The physical body does not look after itself anymore; it now requires wisdom and effort to remain healthy.
    Can technology be used to overcome ill-health and disabilities?
    Much is happening in this field with many developments underway.

    Just recently it became possible to pick up brain signals and translate them into speach which makes it possible for people who have lost the ability to speak to express themselves. The signals are changed into words in about 10 seconds and by using recordings of the way the person used to speak can be made to sound just like themselves.

    Such things as brain-computer interface and body part replacement can only become more and more common going forward –
    and will be absolutely needed as our physical bodies brcome less and less robust and start failing as they must in tyher course of evlotion as our etheric bodies begin to separate from them.

    As we go into the future it would seem that more and more of our physical and mental functioning is going to be augmented by technology and AI.
    We may wonder, at what point do we cease to become human or, alternatively, will we be able to hold on to our humanity as we as we become increasingly involved and meshed into\with the mechanical.

    It helps to remind oneself that Anthroposophy sees our present physical body as a mere envelope, a vehicle, for our soul and eternal individuality.
    We are not our bodies!

    Our humanity is already under severe threat due to our immersion in technology.
    However, the answer/ solution is not avoidance but a thorough and deep conscious cultivation of our humanity and setting it in its true spiritual dimension.
    This gives us the strength to interface with tech without slipping and being dragged down into sub nature wherein this technology has its roots.

    Robots of all sorts equipped with Artificial Intelligence and linked to the internet are on the way to becoming ubiquitous, at least in certain parts of the world.
    They are already taking over many jobs and soon tasks that are repetitive and physically demanding will be eliminated.
    Can this not be seen as a service to humanity?
    But what will happen to our physical bodies if we no longer use them in the performance of daily tasks?
    AI is also already beginning to have an impact on white collar jobs.

    It looks like that in the end there will only be a need for a small number of people to perform all the really significant work.

    The social issues and problems being thrown up by tech are immense and one has a sense that only something like Social Three-folding as explained by Steiner will be able to make some headway towards resolution.

    Recent tests strongly suggest that AI does have a harmful effect on human thinking.
    Using AI to solve problems leads to low brain engagement and the more a person uses it the lazier their thinking becomes over time.
    It harms learning especially in young people.
    How is this going to be dealt with?
    Will AI have to be limited to those who prove themselves to be sufficiently mature, responsible and skilled?
    As is now the case before you are allowed to drive a car on the public road.
    Where should we be headed?

    The clairvoyance of the past will not be able to bring us to our goal in earth evolution.
    The materialism of today is dragging us into sub-nature.

    Here we meet Ahriman and our ahrimanic, electric, double.
    This double rises into our physical body from below nature.
    It is very intelligent, with a very strong will and no warmth of feeling or heart.
    It would prefer it if we did not die – if our body would live on forever as its own body.
    They weave electricity and magnetism into our body which is now used by our physical sensory system.

    These beings in early earthly evolution had always wanted to conquer the earth –
    But they needed bodies – earthly bodies – which they did not have.
    It was during the Lemurian age as we (humanity) were coming down into the earthly that these beings were put into our bodies – to share it with us.
    They did not have bodies of their own because it was we who were at the human stage of development on earth.
    A Manichean legend of light and dark:
    Forces of dark sought to overcome the forces of light.
    But they failed.
    How could the kingdom of light respond-
    There was nothing in their character that could become a punishment –
    There was only love and goodness.
    So, they took some of their own light
    And mixed it into the darkness.
    This became a vortex into which death fell.
    The light that was mixed into the darkness is us – humanity.
    This is another version of the Fall of Man.
    What then is our destiny with the darkness?
    Do we have role in the redemption of darkness?

    The ahrimanic double is the source of all illness that arises spontaneously within us.
    The luciferic double of neurotic types of illness.
    Our Ahrimanic doubles promote the concept that we are just superior animals with no free will and that thinking is merely a response to stimuli.
    They would also like us to extend materialism to the operations of the universe –
    that we believe that it operates merely mechanically.
    On the Threshold between the physical and material worlds we meet the Lesser Guardian.
    This has an ahrimanic quality - a bit like our double
    This being reveals to us our own inner condition; what is preventing us from entering the spiritual world:
    It shows its Ahrimanic qualities in our willing in that we fear spiritual beings.
    In our feelings in that we mock the spiritual beings.
    In our thinking in that we doubt there is any power in spiritual beings.
    We are just superior animals, and materialism is the only true knowledge.
    Steiner says, that the double when placed into a human body feels itself as a being of pain and suffering.
    To stand upright is painful.
    They want a body of sub-nature.

    Lucifer had an incarnation in China about 5,000 years ago.
    2,000 years ago, in the geographic middle (Palestine) Christ incarnated.
    Early in this millennium Ahriman will incarnate in the West in human form in the flesh.
    One may wonder however as to just how technologically ‘augmented’ this body of flesh may be.
    Christ stands in the middle.
    Through equanimity of soul we must see the cosmic necessity of balancing Lucifer’s influence in the soul with what approaches to through Ahriman’s impending incarnation.

    Christ’s incarnation occurred cosmically between that of Lucifer and Ahriman.
    It was through lucifer that we gathered the wisdom to recognize the deed of Christ.
    The gifts of Lucifer belong to supernature.
    Ahriman gifts knowledge of sub-nature.

    It is through Christ’s deed on Golgotha that balance on the physical plane is restored.
    Christ’s appearance in the etheric realm gives us the strength to face Ahriman in sub-nature.

    Lucifer tries to prevent us from diving down into the sphere where the Ahrimanic power must be overcome.
    Christ can stand in such a way as to keep lucifer and Ahriman apart.

    The caduceus is a symbol of this balance.
    A white and a black serpent are present but kept apart.
    As the incarnation of Ahriman approaches the double in us will grow stronger.
    Andrew feels that Ahriman’s incarnation will take place once Michael’s rule is over and that of Oriphiel’s, the Saturn archangel, has begun which starts in the year 2269.
    Since 1880 the Vulcan beings have begun to work amongst us, in our consciousness, to help us meet this challenge.

    To meet and understand them we need to cultivate spiritual science.
    Due to the overall aging of the earth and humanity our physical bodies are beginning to whither and our sedentary habits only hurry on the process.
    Our double will more and more seek to inspire us to replace withering body parts with new artificially developed ones.

    One can wonder as to how many parts can be replaced with artificial ones before a person stops being fully human.
    Transhumanists believe that everything is replaceable.
    One may ask, what is it that makes us human anyway?
    In relation to our earthly development we are entering old age.
    As our double, fortified by Ahriman and technology, grows stronger and our physical body grows weaker will AI be in a position to drive out our ‘gemut’, our humanity and warmth of feeling.
    Our double is altogether more at ease with ‘cool’ or cold connections to others, to life and to the earth.
    Will our own intelligence evolve for better or for worse as AI becomes ever more powerful?

    Will we be able to bring feeling to our thinking and develop heart thinking?
    As we need to interact ever more and more with AI and robots, we will need to develop our sense of ego so as to be able to distinguish humans from humanoids.
    The moon having been extruded from the earth in the Lemurian epoch will return around AD 8,000 and this will bring to an end our incarnations in physical bodies.
    The ‘Fall of Man’ into the physical was a necessity because in the physical we could develop our ego in an environment in which everything was separate.
    The Elohim, however, had no relation to the physical as we know it, nor to the sub-physical.

    For this reason, the Ahrimanic beings had to be brought in to enable mankind’s descent into matter.
    The original intent of the Elohim was for our ego to descend out of the astral, through the etheric and only as far down as the physical plane.
    However, because of the ‘Fall’ our descent had to take us much deeper into the physical and even into the sub-physical.

    For our further progress we are going to need to leave behind that which has coarsened within us as our bones and muscles.
    We will only be able to take with us as we re-ascend the image-form, or phantom, of our bones and muscles.
    By AD 5,700 sexual procreation will end.
    From about AD 5,000 until AD 8,000 we will be having to rely on the help of the Fallen Angels of Darkness to continue our presence on earth.
    (These are angels who did not graduate from the human stage on Old Moon)
    It is the Cherubim who bring harmony and grant each being its beneficial role and that goes for these fallen spirits too.
    It will be the gifts from Ahriman’s incarnation that will get us through this difficult future.

    However, these gifts that will be a strengthening for our immortal soul will have a destructive effect on our physical bodies.
    This destruction of our physical existence will be absolutely necessary as a freeing, so that we can move on to an existence in which our etheric body will be our lowest member.

    There too will be a final War of All against All so that we can move on to an etheric existence in the 6th Epoch.
    Ahriman’s impending incarnation in the West will sow the seeds for the 7th, American, Cultural Era during which a final ascent is made to a new existence without a physical body before the return of the Moon.
    The physical bodies that we abandon will then become available to our doubles to take over. (!!!)
    A quote from GA193, 4/11/19, Influences of Ahriman and Lucifer:
    ‘…the very contrast between the ahrimanic and the luciferic will enable them (people) to perceive the 3rd reality.’

    We need to wrestle through to an understanding of this trinity to go forward.
    On Old Sun, ruled by the Kyriotetes Ahriman lagged behind.
    On Old Moon ruled by the Dynamis Lucifer lagged behind.

    So it will be that at the end of Earth evolution there will be some humans unable to leave the physical realm and enter life in the etheric.

    They will become part of those who go through the 2nd Fall and take a different path of evolution known as the Eighth Sphere.
    Redemption remains a possibility because they will join the Jupiter evolution when it recapitulates Earth evolution.

    Such a deeper fall can lead to an even greater good.
    There is an implication in Steiner’s writings that Mani and some of his followers will go voluntarily with those who are separated out and fall into the Eighth Sphere.
    Their evolutionary path is with these Ahrimanic beings.

    In this perspective the Eighth Shere can be seen as an act of God’s mercy.
    Some may be reluctant to incarnate into a world so interpenetrated with machines.
    However, Steiner says we need to find an enthusiasm in ourselves for the future as dire as it may sound.

    If we can guide what we can gather from spiritual science and use it to confront what Ahriman brings, then we will be able to acquire, precisely through Ahriman, the power to realize that although the earth must decline we are lifted above earth existence through this very fact.

    It is like when we reach a certain age and our body begins to decline.
    If we are sensible we make no complaint because we know that, together with our soul, we are approaching a life that does not run parallel to our physical decline.
    The earth and with it our physical manifestation is in decline.

    But because this is so we need to muster the strength to draw into our civilization that which springs forth from ourselves, and that will live on as the fruit of earth evolution, while the earth is in decline.
    We need to recognize Ahriman not only in our thoughts but also in our will:
    We must overcome our desire for a life of ease.
    Although Lucifer does his best to prevent us, we need boldly to dive down into Ahriman’s sphere so as to gather there the gifts, knowledge and skills that we will need for the building of the future Jupiter epoch.

    We need to learn to stand firmly upon and above Ahriman’s sphere – like Michael.
    In relation to overcoming Ahriman in our thinking we can recall Steiner’s statement that with his book the Philosophy of Freedom, the grip of Ahriman has been broken.
    Now that, since the Mystery of Golgotha, there is always something of the Christ light in human ether bodies it becomes possible for something new to appear.
    Something living, breathing and immortal that can never perish in death – never succumb to the death forces of the earth.

    That which we gradually achieve through the Christ impulse then begins to stream out into cosmic space.
    This creates a sphere around our earth which is in the process of becoming a sun.
    A sort of spiritual sphere is forming around the earth and it is composed of the etheric bodies that are here coming alive.

    The Christ light now radiates from the earth.
    But there is also a kind of reflection of it that encircles the earth and appears as a consequence of the Christ event.
    This is what Christ called the Holy Spirit.
    The 12 labours of Hercules were performed to free Prometheus (us) being chained to the rock of the lifeless by the god of technology, Hephaestus (Roman Vulcan) who had been so commanded by Zeus because we had been given fire.
    By completing these labours Hercules gained the wisdom of the Zodiacal gods.
    A wisdom that is expressed in the etheric realm.

    This story illustrates the effort required to be freed from one’s chains.
    At Whitsun with the decent of the tongues of fire the disciples became able to speak with other tongues -
    Meaning that they were able to impart the secrets of the Deed of Golgotha to the heart of every human being irrespective of religion or creed.

    A part of these secrets was revealed with Christ’s ascension:
    Before this the etheric body always had the urge to fly off to its home in the sun and did so as soon a person had died.
    Today at death our etheric body loosens from the physical but, since Christ has united Himself with the earth, it is now drawn to remain with the earth.
    From Ascension to Whitsun the disciples withdrew into deep contemplation because in their newly awakened souls they now had the knowledge that through the Mystery of Golgotha complete provision had been made for the physical-etheric nature of mankind as a whole.
    However, they were left wondering what happens to our soul and spirit.
    From where do we get the power to take into our soul and spirit (our astra land ego) the Christ impulse.
    It was so that each individual may be able to understand the deed of Christ that the Holy Spirit was sent.
    Through the Spirit each individual may learn to experience the Christ Mystery inwardly in spirit and soul.

    These two picture stand side by side:
    Ascension tells us that the deed of Golgotha was performed for the physical body and the etheric body in the universal human sense.
    Whitsun tells us that the single human being must make this deed bear fruit in themselves by receiving the Holy Spirit. The Christ Impulse becomes thereby individual in each human being.
    We find in this somewhat of a reversal:
    The etheric has been our connection to race, nation and family while the physical was that which made us unique and separate.
    The physical is now to become the universal in us while what we develop out of love will be individual-
    the free individual spirit within the spirit body of Christ
    St. John tells us, “He must increase, I must decrease”.

    This can point us towards the need for us to move on from our physical existence towards our ascension where our etheric body becomes our lowest body.
    St. John looks to the future.

    And our future must be different to what we experienced in previous incarnation if we are to continue in our development and it is in this light that we could view mankind’s increasing engagement with technology.
    What we face with robots and AI are double edged swords necessary however, for our future evolution.
    Christ in the etheric is the event that allows us to face robotics, AI and the incarnation of Ahriman.

    In the course of our evolution robotics and AI act similarly to our double.
    Robotics is an imitation of the physical – but with no life, no etheric.
    AI is an imitation of the soul – but with no spirit, no ego.
    Going forward it will not be good enough to merely believe in these things.
    Great inner strength is needed to overcome Ahriman and our Ahrimanic double.
    Overcome them within us so that we can develop the Consciousness Soul and an awareness of the etheric realm.
