GENERAL-PURPOSE HUMANOID ROBOTS

Posted on by

Peter H. Diamandis, MD, is the Founder of XPRIZE, Singularity University, ZeroG, A360 and Dave Blundin is the founder & GP of Link Ventures. Both men are well known for the roles on Peter’s, Moonshots blog.

In this video Peter & Dave sit down with Brett Adcock to discuss the future of Figure AI and Humanoid Robots. Brett Adcock is the founder of Figure AI, an AI robotics company developing general-purpose humanoid robots.

Brett Adcock (born April 6, 1986) is an American technology entrepreneur and billionaire who is the founder and chief executive officer of Figure AI. In 2018, Adcock co-founded Archer Aviation, five years after he co-founded Vettery. In 2023, he established Cover. As of June 2024, Forbes estimated his net worth as US$1.4 billion.

In 2026, Figure AI will be working with companies to introduce robots in their companies to replace humans for manufacturing, and all other functions including warehousing and distribution. Figure has 55 companies knocking on the door ready to spend big bucks which will help them scale up their robots manufacture. However, he did say that with neural net his company can produce general-purpose humanoid robots and he is keen to produce them as is Elon Musk with Optimus Robots.

The disruption that robotics will cause to employment in 2026 will just increase the lawlessness we are already seeing in developed countries where for the most part, people, particularly the younger generation have accepted evolution and the Big Bang theory as the origin of life and the Cosmos. For them, God and His commandments are part of myths and legends. Their lives have no meaning or purpose. For Christians who know their Bibles and Biblical end times prophecy realise this is just part of what God has revealed to prepare us for the tribulation that precedes Jesus second coming to earth to usher in His Millennial Kingdom.

WHY JESUS NEEDS TO COME BACK

Posted on by

In 1968, Stewart Brand declared: ‘We are as gods – and we might as well get good at it.’ Half a century later, that prophecy has come true.

We can rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles – omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection – are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn’t whether humanity can play god. It’s whether we can do it wisely.

In this book, the bestselling authors of Abundance and Bold return with a sweeping exploration of our species’ next great transformation. Blending hard science with vivid storytelling, Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler chart humanity’s ascent from scarcity to superabundance – and the psychological, ethical, and existential challenges that come with it.

Across breakthroughs in AI, robotics, genetics, longevity, and consciousness research, they reveal a paradox at the heart of progress: as our external power expands, our inner resilience must evolve to match. Abundance without meaning leads to collapse. Intelligence without wisdom leads to extinction. To thrive in a world of everything, everywhere, all the time, we must learn to wield our godlike powers with humility, creativity, and flow.

Equal parts warning and invitation, We Are As Gods is a map for flourishing in the exponential century. Because the future won’t be built by those who fear what’s coming, but by those who know how to turn chaos into creation.

Abundance is here. Are you ready?

This book “We Are As God’s” explains why Jesus will return shortly as the Bible prophecies. It says, “we can now rewrite genes, edit embryos, build artificial minds, extend life, and terraform worlds. The old miracles – omniscience, omnipresence, even resurrection – are becoming standard operating procedure. But the real question isn’t whether humanity can play god. It’s whether we can do it wisely.”

This article by Peter Diamandis shows he is totally ignorant of God and His Word. God has shown us in His Word that we are fast approaching Jesus return to restore righteousness and fulfil the covenant He made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, The nation God established for His purposes Israel will finally fulfil its destiny when Jesus, Israel’s Messiah will rule the nations of the world from a newly constructed Jerusalem, Go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net for more information on Jesus Millennial Kingdom because it is next on God’s agenda for planet earth.

ATHEIST VIEW OF AI VERSUS CHRISTIAN VIEW OF AI

Posted on by

Naturalistic evolutionists argue that non-material things such as consciousness and emotion must be computable because humans experience these. This argument rests on the faulty assumption that humans are nothing more than meat-based computers. In such thinking our conscious experience of reality is merely the neural networks in our brain performing mathematical calculations through electrochemical reactions. They claim that everything we think, dream about, desire, and plan to do is determined by the laws of physics and chemistry. This is called eliminative materialism, or atheism taken to (consistent) extremes.10 Thus, since eliminative materialists believe that such things are all the result of pure computation in our brains, they see no reason to doubt that a computer could one day do these.

The Bible makes it clear, however, that there is more to us than our material body. We have a non-material spirit, and soul, and our consciousness is more than just electrochemical reactions in our brain.

“The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.” Proverbs 20:27 As the spirit of a man is the lamp of the Lord, it requires oil to function. It was always meant to be the vessel of the Holy Spirit. When we repent and accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour God the Father sends the Holy Spirit to once again indwell our spirit (the lamp of the Lord). We can then function as the Lord intended.

“And as her (Rachel’s) soul was departing (for she was dying)…” Genesis 35:18. Rachel’s soul departed and went to Sheol which before Jesus’ resurrection was the holding place of all souls.

There is also substantial and tantalizing evidence from the work of brain researchers that the mind in some way exists independent of the brain. The pioneering work of Wilder Penfield, built on by fellow neurosurgeon Michael Egnor, is notable in this regard.11 The argument that such things can be computable because humans experience them is thus unsound because it is based on a faulty premise.

As a very powerful tool, AI can and will be used for evil purposes—like the internet has been. It may also lead to substantial social upheaval, as AI supplants many jobs. Many of these will be ‘white-collar’ roles once thought safe from robotic takeover.

However, just like the internet, AI will also be used for great good and to greatly improve our lives. I encourage fellow Christians to approach AI with wisdom, being aware of its risks and limitations, but willing to embrace its potential to be a very powerful tool for God’s kingdom.

ChatGPT produced this response to my question on the Millennial Kingdom

Posted on by

I put the following question to the app ChatGPT and was amazed at the Biblical answer given but of course with qualifications. It demonstrates what AI is capable of doing. I was prompted to go to ChatGPT after I had watched a video by Jordan Peterson on AI. I will post the AI video next. It reveals the potential of AI is both amazing and terrifying. E.g. The jobs of a whole team of PhD-level financial analysts are at risk after a new AI model outperformed them. An acquaintance in PR uses Chat-GPT to write emails to colleagues she suspects are doing the same thing – the humans are intermediaries in a robotic correspondence. Australia’s school curriculum chief has warned of a “dystopian future’’ for children struggling to separate fact from fiction, as artificial intelligence (AI) transforms knowledge.

This was further confirmation for me that we are living in the Biblical prophesied “end times” prior to Jesus’ return.

What does the Bible reveal about the coming Millennial Kingdom with Jesus and the resurrected Saints ruling and reigning with a rod of iron?

Chat GPT response:

“The concept of the Millennial Kingdom, where Jesus and the resurrected Saints will rule and reign with a rod of iron, is a doctrine found in Christian eschatology and is based on a literal interpretation of certain passages of the Bible. The term “millennium” refers to a thousand-year period mentioned in Revelation 20:4-6, during which Christ and his saints will rule the earth.

According to the Bible, the Millennial Kingdom will be a time of peace, prosperity, and righteousness on earth. The book of Isaiah describes a world where weapons of war will be turned into tools of agriculture, and the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea (Isaiah 2:4; 11:6-9; 65:20-25).

Revelation 20:4-6, says that the souls of those who had been martyred for their faith in Christ and had not worshipped the beast or its image or received its mark during the Great Tribulation will come to life and reign with Christ for a thousand years. This is commonly known as the first resurrection, and those who participate in it are said to be blessed and holy.

During this time, Satan will be bound and thrown into the bottomless pit, and the earth will be restored to its original state before the Fall. The nations will come to Jerusalem to worship the Lord, and there will be no more sickness, death, or sorrow (Revelation 20:1-3; 21:1-5).

Christ and his saints will rule with a rod of iron, which means that they will exercise authority with absolute justice and righteousness (Revelation 2:27; 19:15). Those who rebel against Christ’s rule will be punished severely, and the earth will be cleansed of all unrighteousness (Revelation 20:7-15).

It is important to note that not all Christians agree on the timing or the nature of the Millennial Kingdom. Some believe it is a literal thousand-year reign of Christ on earth, while others interpret it symbolically as a period of time between Christ’s first and second comings. Regardless of the interpretation, the Bible teaches that Christ will return to establish his Kingdom on earth, and all who believe in him will reign with him in glory.”

The degree to which AI has been developed is both astounding and terrifying. I would strongly urge you to watch the video I will post next of Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Brian Roemmele discussing the future of human civilization: a world of human androids operating alongside artificial intelligence with applications that George Orwell could not have imagined in his wildest stories. I was impressed by the answer I got to the question I put to ChatGPT above, but you will be “blown away” by what you learn from the video. I was convinced that it demonstrates that we are in the Biblical prophesied end times.
