$12 BILLION JOB MASSACRE: AMAZON’S ROBOT ARMY WILL REPLACE 600,000 WORKERS

Posted on by

A silent revolution is unfolding inside Amazon—and it’s far more than a warehouse upgrade. Leaked internal documents reveal that the company plans to automate up to 75% of its operations by 2033, using robots like Cardinal, Blue Jay, Sparrow, and Robin to replace what would have been over 600,000 human jobs. The implications stretch across every sector of the American economy. In this video, you’ll uncover how Amazon’s robotic workforce is reshaping the meaning of employment, why businesses are prioritizing efficiency over labour, and what kinds of skills—and investments—will actually survive the coming automation wave. From AI-driven logistics to the rise of collaborative robotics, this isn’t science fiction; it’s the new economic reality unfolding in real time. You’ll also learn how artificial intelligence has accelerated Amazon’s transformation, why other corporations are preparing to follow, and what steps individuals can take to protect their financial and professional futures. The question isn’t if automation will replace jobs—it’s how fast it will happen, and who will be prepared when it does.

This is not only happening at Amazon, UPS has disclosed about 48,000 job cuts this year.

Governments that have rejected God have already descended into chaos on all fronts so this move by companies to shed jobs will only further heighten the mayhem. There is only one answer to the problem and that has been revealed to us in God’s Word. Jesus returns as king first to rescue His Saints and then to pour out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet and Bowl judgements of Revelation 8 & 16. The battle of Armageddon follows and then Jesus sets up His Millennial Kingdom. To prepare for Jesus coming Millennial Kingdom go to http://www.millennialkingdom.net

REVIEW OF 2024 ECONOMIC EVENTS

Posted on by

It was a pretty remarkable year in the world of high-tech: The shining light and path towards a world of abundance. 2024 marked the beginning of what Jeff Brown of Brownstone Research calls manifested AI. It is a good framework for how we think about this concept. It is that we humans will manifest artificial intelligence (AI) into forms that will be easy for us to understand and interface with and this is an unstoppable trend and it will be the key driver behind the gains in the NASDAQ in 2025.

The composite index rose an impressive 32% this year. The rise wasn’t across the entire market. The Magnificent Seven, Alphabet, NVIDIA, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla, and Meta had an outsized impact on the index returns for the year. A further rise was fueled by the explosion of artificial intelligence (AI), which defined the year’s performance. And of those seven stocks, it was really NVIDIA, Tesla, and Meta – that drove the average returns of the seven of almost 70% this year.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT became a household name this year. Generative AI from various tech companies is now common in households and workplaces across all demographics and industries. Further, the rate at which AI technology is advancing is astonishing.

Microsoft has been closely linked to the success of OpenAI due to its “controlling” interest in the private company. Meta has developed one of the leading large language models (LLMs). NVIDIA has released its new Blackwell GPUs, which is an impressive jump in performance compared to last year’s model. And Tesla has not only manifested AI in the form of its latest self-driving cars, trucks, and now robotaxis and robovans using its full self-driving (FSD) software – version 13.2, It has also manifested AI in the form of its humanoid robot, Optimus, which will ultimately become a market larger than that of electric vehicles. The incredible investment in AI and the application of AI in businesses is what drove the best gains in the stock market. For reference, hundreds of billions of dollars were spent this year building “AI factories” – data centers designed to both train – and run – AI applications. This has driven outsized share price gains for the key companies powering this trend forward.

The energy required to power these AI factories is huge. The USA with its oil and natural gas reserves and commitment to nuclear energy is well placed to maintain its leadership in the AI space.

Nvidia (NVDA) is finishing up the year with a gain of about 183%. And several of Jeff’s recommendations in Exponential Tech Investor have done even better: AppLovin (APP) is up 732% for the year (and it was up as high as 935% in early December). Credo Technology (CRDO) is up 276% in 2024. Real Brokerage (REAX) has gained 206% this year. In addition, Vertiv (VRT) is up 152% this year. The bottom line is that the right AI stocks were the place to be in 2024.

A look at the video below reveals the big issue facing the USA in the years ahead: robots and AI replacing workers. Amazon was the first to introduce robots to replace workers in their warehouses and now Walmart, Costco, and others are following their lead. Also, imagine the impact driverless cars and trucks will have on jobs. 2025 will be a year of massive change and I am not including the spiritual battle that is coming to a final showdown between Jesus and Satan at the Battle of Armageddon.

In the next post we will take a look at what Jeff Brown thinks of 2025.

AI DATA CENTRES MAKE NUCLEAR NECESSARY IN THE ENERGY MIX

Posted on by

This article is adapted from an article by Michael Robinson. He has spent more than four decades as an investigative journalist uncovering the story behind massive tech trends.

A massive energy crisis is here … and it’s all because of artificial intelligence. It is one of the reasons why solar and wind (intermittent renewables) are not adequate for maintaining supply. Nuclear is considered the best option to stabilise the energy mix.

On average, just one new AI data center currently requires the same amount of electricity as 750,000 homes. That’s more than the population of cities like Seattle, Detroit, and Denver.

Nearly 3,000 more of them are on the way. No wonder Tirias Research forecasts that, by 2028, data center power consumption will be 212 times what it was in 2023.

This boom in AI data centers will push America’s power grid to the brink. According to the New York Times, the world is “poised to add the equivalent of Japan’s annual electricity demand to grids each year” over the next decade.

It could bring AI screeching to a halt … Let alone affect regular people as utility bills skyrocket — even as they face planned blackouts to conserve energy … and prolonged outages because of creaky infrastructure.

Fortunately, Meta announced yesterday a request for proposals from nuclear power developers who would help the company add 1 to 4 gigawatts of electricity generating capacity in the U.S. According to Axios, Meta is willing to share costs early in the cycle and will commit to buying power once the reactors are up and running.

The hitch? Applicants have to move fast. Initial proposals are due February 7, 2025, and Meta wants the power plants to begin operation in the early 2030s.

Microsoft has signed a deal with one of the most infamous nuclear power facilities in the US as it looks for more ways to ensure the demand for AI computing is met.

The legacy of the Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear plant has long been shaped by the 1979 Unit 2 meltdown, which had a profound effect on public perceptions of nuclear energy. What a lot of people don’t know is that Unit 1 was not only unaffected, but continued to operate safely and reliably for decades.

Now, in a major new step, Constellation has signed its largest power purchase agreement with Microsoft, leading to the planned restoration and restart of TMI Unit 1 under the name Crane Clean Energy Center (CCEC). The project is expected to bring 835 megawatts of carbon-free power to the grid, create 3,400 jobs, and contribute over $3 billion in taxes.

Considering this move in the USA it will be interesting to learn how Microsoft plans to power their new data centers in Australia.

Microsoft will invest A$5 billion ($3.2 billion) in Australia to expand its cloud computing and AI infrastructure over the next two years, in what the US company described as its largest investment in the country in four decades. Announced as part of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s visit to the US this week, the investment will help Microsoft grow its data centers across Canberra, Sydney, and Melbourne by 45% – from 20 sites up to 29.

The following video shows that power constraints are the major problem facing Data Centre growth.

THE IMPACT OF AI & ROBOTICS ON JOBS

Posted on by

Amazon, the online retailer behemoth, 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?

Amazon is far from the only giant that has done 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 come with one big catch: No people.

Finding good critical thinkers is one of the most difficult things in business. I’m talking 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 business’s best interests.

The only thing more difficult than finding one good knowledge worker… is finding multiple. For most of the modern era, knowledge work was difficult to scale. These professions typically require years of education, on-the-job training, and experience. That adds up to lots of time and money.

But now, 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 threaten your job.

The Quantum Leap

AI is more of a threat now than it was when ChatGPT made its debut in 2022 because of quantum computing.

In classical computing, data is encoded in binary bits. Transistors are like tiny switches that can either be in the on or off position – represented by ones and zeroes.

Every app you use, website you go to, and photo you take is made up of millions of combinations of ones and zeroes. However, a new kind of computing power surpasses the binary limitations of classical computers.

Quantum computers use quantum bits, or qubits, which can represent both 0 and 1 simultaneously due to a concept called superposition. If this all sounds a little confusing, don’t worry. Here’s the critical thing you need to know… Quantum computers allow for multiple computational pathways to be explored at the same time, opening new avenues and speeds for solving complex problems.

Imagine you have a large library and you’re trying to find a specific book. In classical computing, you would search for the book by examining each bookshelf and book one at a time until you find the right one. This approach can be time-consuming, especially if the book you’re looking for is in the back of the library. But imagine a computer so powerful it can explore all the books at once… That’s quantum computing.

It’s been said that the differences between quantum computers and classical computers are even more vast than those between classical computers and pen and paper. That may be an understatement.

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.

Quantum computing is real and it’s here. You can think of it as the turbocharger for artificial intelligence. It makes AI faster, more efficient, and more precise.

Quantum computing will give us the ability to solve intractable problems that take so long to tackle using today’s computers that no one even bothers trying. We’re talking about the ability to create, replicate, and commercialize complex analytical thinking and precise physical movement on a scale never seen before… This is the next huge leap forward for the digital elite… the people who have been getting rich while most Americans have been getting left behind.

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.

I expect that in the quantum era, we will see more technological progress in one month than we are seeing in three years from now. 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 country forever.

Governments that already have a debt problem that is out of control will be unable to address this unemployment problem and anarchy and lawlessness will be the outcome. The scene is being set for the Biblical prophesied rise of the Antichrist and a one-world government. The recent UN Pact for the Future where world leaders made a landmark declaration pledging concrete actions towards a safer, more peaceful, sustainable, and inclusive world for tomorrow’s generations is a significant move towards a one-world government. My next post will give more detail on the Pact for the Future.

THE FUTURE WITH AGI AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST

Posted on by

AI is improving at an exponential rate. And we’re quickly reaching a tipping point where the future will look nothing like the past. This point is known as artificial general intelligence (AGI). It is the top level of artificial intelligence. Some even call it humanity’s final invention.

Artificial general intelligence refers to AI that can mimic human cognitive abilities. To put it simply, AI is becoming smarter than the smartest human.

There are already some  signs of what AGI will look like. Last month, OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, claimed that its most advanced AI models are now bordering on the second of five levels of “Super AI.” Many people can no longer tell the difference between AI chatbots and human-generated text responses. 

AI will turbocharge the robotics trend. Last week, OpenAI-backed robotics startup Figure AI released a two-minute video of its humanoid robots completing tasks at a BMW plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina (see video below). These machines are now capable of learning from their mistakes and, unlike their robotic arm predecessors, are designed to move in spaces made for humans. That allows them to take on directly competing roles. 

Back in January, Elon Musk’s Neuralink company implanted the first N1 device in the brain of a quadriplegic patient… and it worked. The patient could play chess online and browse the internet with only his mind.

Now, one of Musk’s R1 robots has successfully implanted one of Neuralink’s N1 chips in the brain of a second paraplegic patient. According to Neuralink, the N1 interprets neural activity and makes it available for computers. Then, the person can control external devices with their mind, alone. Musk and his team of researchers and engineers call this “electrophysiological recording.”

According to Musk, Neuralink initially aims to restore mobility in paralyzed people, with subsequent goals of restoring sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf. In short, the N1 device could benefit millions of people with miracle-like cures. If things go as Musk’s team predicts, the paralyzed will walk, the blind will see, and the deaf will hear.

Musk does not know that we are fast approaching the time when the Antichrist and the False Prophet force everybody to take the Mark of the Beast on their right hand or forehead. Could Musk’s Neuralink technology play a role in implementing the Mark of the Beast?

“Also it (False Prophet) causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.” Revelation 13:16-17

Church time is short: let us make sure we are in step with the Holy Spirit. He will direct our steps if we allow Him. Like Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, we need to say not my will but yours be done this day and every day until Jesus returns.

“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” Luke 22:42

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM 2024 AGENDA & AI

Posted on by

Sam Altman is looking ahead to Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) — and a quiet life

The CEO of OpenAI made a big splash this year in Davos, where AI was referenced in nearly every session. As part of the official WEF agenda, Altman sat on a panel in Congress Hall, the event’s largest meeting venue, with the CEOs of corporate heavyweights Accenture, Pfizer, and Salesforce, along with British finance minister Jeremy Hunt. On the conference sidelines, at a lunch hosted by Salesforce co-founder Marc Benioff, Altman was the surprise guest speaker — and the victim of a minor grilling by Benioff about his personal goals for the next 10 years.

“In our industry, people are always overestimating [what they can accomplish] in a year but underestimating what they’re able to do in one decade and certainly in a couple of decades,” Benioff said. “So tell me, in one decade, where is your mind? What would you like to have under your belt, fully accomplished? Where do you see yourself? Where would you be living? What would you be doing? … What is going on? Give us the full picture now.”

After the laughter died down, the recently married Altman replied, “I think the definition of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has become so fuzzy, it’s sort of irrelevant. But I think in a decade we will have made something that most people will consider AGI. I hope to be working on that, watching this wonderful world unfold, living on our ranch, raising our kids, having as quiet of a life as I can.”

Somebody needs to tell Altman that the only way he can have a peaceful life is when he acknowledges God as our Creator, fears Him, and accepts His offer of salvation by accepting Jesus as his Lord and Saviour.

God has told us what will unfold in the years ahead and it is not peaceful. It will be a time of escalating tribulation for Christians and Jews that the world has never experienced before. God will use the persecution to purify His church. Already we are seeing much of the institutional church, falling away, compromising with the world on issues such as homosexual pastors, gay marriage, and transgenderism.

God gives us a picture of the apostate church. It is the Church of Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22). Jesus comes to rapture His church (Church of Philadelphia – Revelation 3:8-13) before God pours out His wrath upon an unrepentant world with the Trumpet (Revelation 8&9) and Bowl judgements (Revelation 16).

Our unrepentant family and friends need to be warned of what they are facing if they do not repent of their rebellion against God and accept His offer of salvation and eternal life achieved by God’s son, Jesus.

“For our sake, he (God the Father) made Him (Jesus Christ – God the Son) to be sin who knew no sin so that in Him (Jesus) we might become the righteousness of God.” 2 Corinthians 5:21

The judgements escalate as we proceed through the Trumpet and Bowl judgements. Let me show you what people on Earth face at the fifth Trumpet judgement.

“And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit… Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them.” Revelation 19:1, 3-6

This is what is called apocalyptic evangelism. Using the many end times Biblical prophecies to show the truth of God’s Word and the consequences of not fearing the God who created them in His image to be in relationship with Him.
