Amazon and Walmart are good examples of how AI will adversely affect employment opportunities.

The online retailer behemoth, Amazon, is the second-largest private employer in the U.S. – 1.5 million people. It’s also one of the largest investors in AI.

It’s building out fully autonomous warehouses… It’s working to automate the delivery process with self-driving vans and delivery drones… and 30% of its “workforce” are already robots.

Robots don’t sleep. They don’t take vacations. They never need a break. So, let me ask you this: How much longer until Amazon decides these robots are ready to take on the full workload of its 1.5 million remaining workers? And what do you think will happen when 1.5 million hardworking Americans are suddenly out of a job? Biblical prophesied end times lawlessness will be the outcome. Young people will be marching on the streets causing havoc.

“And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.” Matthew 24:12-13

And Amazon is far from the only giant company doing this. Walmart Inc. (WMT), the largest private employer in the U.S., is rolling out fully automated distribution centers using a combination of AI and robots. The company’s distribution centers are in operation but come with one big catch: There aren’t any people.

What about “knowledge workers” – i.e., accountants, business strategists, lawyers, and doctors – who make optimal decisions, are good at problem-solving, can strategize, and always act in the best interests of the business?

ChatGPT and other forms of AI are killing that paradigm. It makes it so that businesses can scale critical thinking and knowledge work. It doesn’t matter if you have a blue or white collar: AI could be a threat to your job. The reason why AI is more of a threat now than it was when ChatGPT made its debut in 2022 is because of quantum computing. Quantum computers allow for multiple computational pathways to be explored at the same time, opening new avenues and speeds for solving complex problems.

We’re talking about machines so advanced that they can instantly execute calculations that would take the world’s most advanced supercomputers nearly half a century to process.

It’s not like the transition from the horse and buggy to the automobile. It’s more like horse and buggy to the SR-71 Blackbird… the fastest jet ever made. The difference is utterly mind-blowing.

With quantum computing, the digital elite will have AI that is not constrained by computational speed. Quantum-powered AI will drive efficiencies by getting rid of human workers and driving up corporate profits. No matter the job, robots, software, and AI – powered by a new breed of computer – will be able to do it better and cheaper.

This is the societal and economic equivalent of a 10,000-foot mega tsunami. It’s about to slam into our world and alter the trajectory of our world forever. It is amazing that 600 years before Jesus Christ came to Earth for the first time, Daniel was told that the time before Jesus’ second coming to Earth, two of the signs would be that people would be travelling a lot and knowledge would increase. This must have sounded strange to Daniel as he had no concept of air travel and the internet, AI, and quantum computing.

“But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Daniel 12:4
