Another terror attack was just reported: “At least 15 individuals have been killed and dozens injured following a shooting incident at a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Sydney, Australia on Sunday evening. Authorities have classified the event as a terror attack, with reports indicating that the two gunmen specifically targeted attendees celebrating the Jewish holiday. Witnesses described a chaotic scene as the gunmen ushered non-celebrants aside before opening fire. Emergency services reported at least 29 injuries, and one of the attackers was shot while the other was apprehended. Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon confirmed the discovery of several improvised explosive devices in a nearby vehicle, prompting the involvement of bomb disposal units. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese condemned the attack, emphasizing its targeting of Jewish Australians and asserting that it represents an attack on all Australians. He convened a meeting with national security officials to address the incident. U.S. reactions included a statement from President Donald Trump, who reassured Hanukkah celebrants of their safety, and a condemnation from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who highlighted the need to combat antisemitism. Videos from the scene captured the panic among beachgoers and the heroic actions of a bystander who intervened to disarm one of the gunmen. This act of bravery was praised by New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, who described the individual as a hero. The shooting occurred against a backdrop of rising antisemitic incidents in Australia, particularly following the onset of the Israel-Gaza conflict in October 2023. The Executive Council of Australian Jewry reported a significant increase in antisemitic attacks, raising alarms within both the Jewish community and broader Australian society.” It was subsequently reported that the shooters were father and son. What were the causes of this event? What is most important for us to know?

Police in Hong Kong arrested three men on suspicion of manslaughter, several local news media reported, in connection with a blaze that has killed at least 75 people and left hundreds missing in the city’s deadliest fire in years. Hundreds of residents were evacuated as the fire which started on Wednesday afternoon, spread across seven of the eight high-rise apartment buildings in a housing complex in Tai Po district, a suburb in the New Territories. At least 29 others remained hospitalized. Bright flames and smoke shot out of windows as night fell. Authorities said earlier that investigators would be looking into factors including whether material on the exterior walls of high-rise buildings met fire resistance standards, as the rapid spread of the fire was unusual…Officials said the fire started on the external scaffolding of one of the buildings, a 32-storey tower, and later spread to inside the building and then to nearby buildings, likely aided by windy conditions…The housing complex consisted of eight buildings with almost 2,000 apartments housing about 4,800 residents, including many elderly people. It was built in the 1980s and had recently been undergoing a major renovation. Was this tragedy accidental, caused by human arson, or something more deeply sinister?

You have told us that in today’s world, no human being can be trusted as an authority because of the corruption and mind control manipulation of our culture. Perhaps an example is the current controversy about a seemingly straightforward issue: whether or not crime in Washington D.C. needs urgent attention or has actually fallen. President Trump ordered 800 National Guard troops into the capitol, ostensibly to make the city safer, which is derided by the political left even though officials state that the police force is understaffed by 800 officers due to budget cuts. Meanwhile, a D.C. police commander was suspended a few months ago for allegedly under-reporting crime statistics. Others have pointed out that in Washington, and other sanctuary cities, defunding the police lowers crime statistics because lack of police action lets crime go unreported. Police are also under pressure to make things look good, and actually log serious crimes as minor ones, and many arrested criminals are simply let go as liberal prosecutors and judges will just dismiss the charges. What is the divine perspective? Is criminality a serious problem being aided and abetted by lax enforcement or is this Federal intervention just fearmongering and political posturing with a dangerous authoritarian motivation?

In the book, The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want, co-authors Emily Bender and Alex Hanna argue that the term AI (acronym for Artificial Intelligence) is marketing hype. Google defines the word hype as “promote or publicize (a product or idea) intensively, often exaggerating its importance or benefits.” The implication is that without the exaggerated claim of benefit, and if people knew what they were REALLY getting with widespread adoption of these technologies bundled under the AI moniker, they quite likely would reject the product or idea altogether. The other pertinent question is, benefit to WHOM? Does the average consumer really benefit more than the cost imposed and the harm potentially incurred? The authors argue NO, the use of the term AI is really a bait and switch for increased AUTOMATION across the board. Automation that will decrease the demand for labor and remove human judgment from decision-making and categorizing. It will end up benefiting the ownership and finance classes at the expense of everyone else. What is Creator’s perspective?

The term AI and Artificial Intelligence suddenly became relevant in the 2010s with the fortuitous adoption of chip technology designed to solve an entirely different problem, namely presenting complex and fast-changing graphics on computer screens, used mostly to make video games more realistic and lifelike. A little more than a decade ago, a small company named Nvidia made a graphics processor for making computer video a LOT faster. Today, it’s a trillion-dollar company because that processor was successfully adapted for AI processing with little modification. Once this discovery was made, untold TRILLIONS of dollars have been poured into making billions of these chips. Massive data centers are being built to utilize them, requiring vast amounts of resources and electricity. AI was less a software innovation than it was a hardware innovation. At the end of the day, these chips are overwhelmingly “number crunchers,” not much different in base functionality than an electronic calculator, only vastly miniaturized for speed and scaled up for volume. Is it fair to say that AI is really just a vast “calculator” when one tries to grasp how it REALLY works? What is Creator’s perspective?

When people think of AI, most think about chatbots like ChatGPT and Grok. These technologies are based on a software architecture called neural networks. Another name for the way these chatbots are put together is called LLMs or large language models. A large language model is really just a very sophisticated pattern matcher, and the shortcut used to match patterns is statistical probability. At its very foundation it makes large amounts (hundreds, thousands, millions or more) of microscopic decisions based on what statistically is more or less probable in terms of what comes before or after a word. Is it more probable the word “and” follows the word “this,” or more probable it follows the word “that?” So any response from a question to ChatGPT or Grok is the result of deep statistical analysis and pattern matching with no actual intelligence involved. What is Creator’s perspective?

An argument can be made that no single human being really understands how AI works. What they discovered when they added more processing power and more layers of pattern matching (what they call deep learning) for building large language models is that the chatbots became REMARKABLY humanlike in terms of their output. This was a downright shocking discovery, and this development alone suddenly diverted trillions of dollars of investment towards the development of AI. But according to the authors of the recent book, AI Snake Oil: What Artificial Intelligence Can Do, What It Can’t, and How to Tell the Difference, Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor of Princeton University, relatively little of that money has been spent on research that would attempt to understand WHY we are getting this result. It seems no one really knows, and worse, no one REALLY CARES. Instead, the agenda is to throw more and faster hardware at it, “FEED THE BEAST” to give it more power, more capacity, more memory, with no one truly understanding why it even works as it does. Is this more human folly unfolding before our very eyes? What is Creator’s perspective?

Another technology that has mysterious origins is cryptocurrencies. To this day, no one really knows where Bitcoin originated, who created it, or who introduced it to the world. There is speculation all over the place, and it’s assumed someone knows, but that information is not public knowledge. Is Bitcoin a “gift” (more like a naked Trojan horse) from the interlopers? And is AI, and how it really works, similar in its origins? What can Creator tell us?

There is a good joke that’s been around for a while, but it’s especially pertinent when it comes to evaluating AI: “It must be true, I read it on the Internet.” Everyone knows this means it’s more likely not to be true. But when it comes to AI, almost everything it “knows” comes from the Internet. And because it tends to weigh true and false by frequency of encounter, the more AI encounters the same images, assertions, statements, treatments, opinions, etc., the more statistically weighted it will be. The term, “There’s safety in numbers,” comes to mind in that the idea is, the more frequently something is encountered, the more genuine it probably is. This becomes AI’s “default assumption” about the material it is trained with. It can only utilize, evaluate, and regurgitate the material it is trained with. This turned out to be quite a problem early on because the sheer amount of racist, violent, and derogatory material on the Internet was not fully appreciated until AI started digesting it. It became necessary to employ untold thousands of low-paid (on the order of two dollars a day) “content evaluators,” mostly in third-world countries, to filter out gore, hate speech, child sexual abuse material, and pornographic images. If AI read it on the Internet, it must be true? What is Creator’s perspective?

The authors of The AI Con: How to Fight Big Tech’s Hype and Create the Future We Want wrote: “With LLMs (large language models), the situation is even worse than garbage in/garbage out – they will make paper-mache out of their training data, mushing it up and remixing it into new forms that don’t preserve the communicative intent of original data. Paper-mache made out of good data is still paper-mache.” They also write: “This is why we like to call language models (like popular chatbots) ‘synthetic text extruding machines.'” They also write: “In the case of language modeling, the correct answer of which word came next is just whatever word happened to come next in the training corpus. … So if (popular chatbots) are nothing more than souped-up autocomplete, why are so many people convinced that it’s actually ‘understanding’ and ‘reasoning?'” Why indeed? What is Creator’s perspective?
