It was a 1951 short story that inspired it all. The author was Arthur C. Clarke who co-wrote the screenplay in 1968 to Stanley Kubrick's 2001, A Space Odyssey. In the short story....which takes place in 1996....a metallic object is found on the moon....that has a power to protect itself from anything coming near it. Humans eventually destroy it....and thereby find out that it was created by some kind of alien life somewhere. The message given in the story is that whoever or whatever created and placed that object....would know that intelligent life....(us).....existed.....for they....(we).....were advanced enough to find this radio emitting object....and to destroy it....stopping the transmission of the signals. So we on earth could expect a visit by this alien life.
I was eighteen when I first saw 2001, A Space Odyssey. In one scene the AI in the form of HAL....says...."I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do." You most likely know how the film ends....HAL....the artificial intelligence....kills most everyone on the spaceship....and has to be destroyed by the one man who remained.
I wrote this in a 2009 post....while warning on this and other topics that have come to fruition...."Do I sound melodramatic? If you can see what is happening to our country, it is an understatement."
Jesus told the Pharisees in Luke 19....who were commanding Him to stop His disciples from praising Him...."I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out." He also told them....this in Matthew 3:9...."God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham."
There is an article out today....really only the latest of a long list of articles....reporting where the 'godfather' of AI....a former Google researcher....is warning us that AI might "escape control" by writing its own code. Geoffrey Hinton said that neural networks are created....and we really don't know how that works.
There is another article out today where Microsoft had to...."lobotomize"....an image creating AI right after it was launched because it produced an image of Mickey Mouse in the cockpit....holding a pistol....and smiling....with the 9/11 planes in view....flying into the World Trade Center.
Folks...I am not even an amateur in computer AI technology....but I know something about Bible prophecy. Right now it is more than a distinct possibility....but a probability....that that neural network of AI will eventually be occupied by an alien entity.....but it's not really an entity alien to this earth....for Jesus said in 1 John 5:19...."the whole world lies in the power of the evil one"....but that power was severely limited by the incarnation....calvary....the resurrection.....Jesus Ascension....and the sending of His Holy Spirit.
