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.
