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
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.
Geoffrey Hinton and John Hopfield were awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics on October 8th, 2024.
Hinton was awarded the prize for his work on “foundational discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks.” It’s why he’s known as the “Godfather of AI.” Hinton is responsible for laying the groundwork for how AI functions today.
Since May 2023, he’s been warning folks about the dangers posed by this burgeoning technology. In fact, he publicly resigned from Alphabet Inc. (GOOG) to be able to speak out more freely about it.
And last Tuesday, when asked about the effect that AI would have on our society, he said:
“It will be comparable with the industrial revolution. But instead of exceeding people in physical strength, it’s going to exceed people in intellectual ability. We have no experience of what it’s like to have things smarter than us.“
Thanks to AI, we will soon ride in Robotaxis, have personalized treatment plans for major diseases, and much more… totally transforming the way we work, live, and play.
However, some things will change for the worse…
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the dockworker’s strike and how one of their aims was a total ban on further automation at the nation’s ports. I believed that this was a hopelessly futile endeavor – that AI-driven automation was eventually coming whether they liked it or not. Just as Amazon and Walmart warehouses are becoming totally robotic. They can function 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no people, no mistakes, no meal breaks, no sickies, and no holidays.
But it’s not just the dockworkers that should be worried. AI is coming for tech jobs, too. In fact, TechCrunch reported that Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Meta, and Microsoft laid off roughly 94,400 people in 2023! And so far this year, the total for tech layoffs is about 141,076! Some of these layoffs are due to workers who were reluctant to return to the office. But many of these layoffs are related to AI as companies rely on software, rather than people, to become more efficient.
Unfortunately, this is just the beginning. We will see layoffs in law enforcement, customer service, medicine, mining, transportation, and much more. Up to 800 million global workers could lose their jobs by 2030, according to a McKinsey study, and 70% of all existing occupations could see a pay cut, according to Wired magazine. We’re talking about a massive wave of economic and societal change.
City-sanctioned safe sleeping site on Fulton Street between Hyde and Larkin Streets in San Francisco, Calif., on Friday, June 12, 2020. Four years later it is much worse.
Governments that have jettisoned God and His commandments are already unable to cope with the consequences. Lawlessness, even anarchy will abound exactly as Scripture prophecies for the last day before Jesus returns to Earth.
Government debt levels are already astronomical so they will not be able to provide relief for AI-induced unemployment. The stage is being set for the Antichrist and a one-world government.
Jesus warns us that increasing persecution is ahead for Christians and we need to trust God no matter the circumstances confident that He will see us through it.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. 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 24:9-13
The data centers that power AI technologies require such prodigious – and reliable – volumes of electricity, that tech giants like Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN) and Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) “rediscovered” nuclear power as an ideal energy source.
Microsoft and Constellation Energy, the utility that owns Three Mile Island, announced a new deal on September 20th that will lead to the restart of Unit 1 at the Three Mile Island Nuclear Generating Station. This will be the first time a nuclear reactor in the United States has been brought back online after being shut down.
The deal is for 20 years and is a power purchase agreement in which Microsoft will buy the power generated by Unit 1 for an estimated $110-$115 per megawatt hour in order to reliably power its Artificial Intelligence (AI) data center demand while meeting the companies clean energy goals. Unit one will reopen as the “Crane Clean Energy Center” by 2028 so long as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approves the plan.
Amazon Web Services is paying as much as $650 million for a data center campus adjacent to a nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania. The cloud provider reportedly plans to build several data centers there, according to The Information.
The recent Amazon and Microsoft nuclear deals are not outliers. Earlier this month, Oracle Corp. (ORCL) Chairman and Co-founder Larry Ellison announced that his company had obtained “building permits for three nuclear reactors. These are small modular nuclear reactors to power the data center.
Along with this surprising announcement, Ellison also mentioned that some of the newest data centers under construction will require ten times more power than the typical facilities in operation today. Oracle, he said, is building an 800-megawatt data center that will have “acres of Nvidia GPU clusters” that will be used to train one of the world’s largest AI models.
For perspective, 800 MW is nearly identical to the entire power supply that Microsoft expects the Three Mile Island plant to produce once it reopens. In other words, one modern data center will need the entire output of one nuclear reactor.
In many important respects, nuclear energy has no equal, especially when it comes to powering data centers. Electricity that is intermittent, or susceptible to interruption, is electricity that could cause a big, expensive mess for data centers. Nukes prevent that problem. They can run continuously for long periods of time without needing maintenance or refueling.
Importantly, nukes also require a relatively small footprint, compared to renewable energy sources. Theoretically, a square plot of land, 22 miles long on each side, could accommodate enough nuclear reactors to power the entire United States.
Looks like Dutton may be onto a winner by bringing Nuclear Energy into our Power Mix. Because of the need for lots of land, batteries, digitalisation, and new infrastructure (grid upgrade and expansion) with wind, and solar the renewables option is more expensive and less reliable than Nuclear.
One week from tomorrow, Elon Musk and Tesla will hold its “We, Robot” event
It’s expected that the company will reveal its first dedicated robotaxi. This is being heralded as a “game changer” for the future of autonomous transportation.
“We, Robot” is expected to be a watershed moment for Tesla wherein the company introduces its first dedicated robotaxi, tentatively called the “Cybercab.” Tesla is also expected to showcase groundbreaking advancements in Full Self-Driving (FSD) software and artificial intelligence as the company pushes toward a future where human drivers are obsolete.
At the heart of this transportation revolution is a convenient, driverless ride at a fraction of the cost of traditional services. If it’s everything it’s cracked up to be, this will send ripples throughout the automotive, technology, and investment sectors.
Consider what a rollout of Tesla’s robotaxi would mean… With the tap of a button, you can have a car at your disposal, 24/7, at a much lower all-in cost than owning a car (or purportedly, calling an Uber).
Today, car ownership can be a major financial burden. AAA reports that last year, the average annual cost to own and operate a car in the U.S. was about $10,000. A fully autonomous, reliable, ever-present robotaxi would enable consumers to save thousands of dollars by eliminating the need for car ownership.
Yes, there will be plenty of Americans who will still want their own. But if you’re one of the 66.2% of Americans living paycheck-to-paycheck today (according to MarketWatch in August), are you not going to seriously consider letting go of your car to free up thousands of dollars per year?
According to a 2022 study by McKinsey & Co., 25% to 30% of urban dwellers would consider using shared autonomous vehicles as their main transportation mode if it were widely available. And if 25% to 30% of Americans decide to stop buying cars, get ready for a financial earthquake.
First and obviously, we have the major car manufacturers that would be rocked by this size of a reduction in auto demand. We’re talking unprecedented disruption that would require a business-model pivot, and potentially, enormous layoffs.
Cars are parked 95% of the time. If you’re merely “renting” your car, when you’re done with it, it speeds away to service someone else. Such collective ownership of cars will radically explode car efficiency, reducing how many are needed, which would impact how many workers are required. Also, you do not need a garage at home or at work.
Now, consider the knock-on effects… With 25% to 30% fewer drivers (at the beginning – expect this percentage to grow), what happens to the auto insurance industry? According to Benzinga, U.S. auto insurance premiums amount to more than $308 billion per year. So, what happens with far fewer car owners? Do we lose loads of related insurance jobs? Or does the insurance model switch from vehicle coverage to some sort of ride-based individual coverage? What would be the impact on business models?
Next, what about car mechanics and chain repair shops?
What happens when autonomous driving hits our trucking industry? In the U.S., that’s a $216 billion market with roughly 3.5 million drivers. Think “robotrucks” might be disruptive there?
Now, consider the investment implications, good and bad… What will be the impact of all this on the share prices of not just Tesla, but Ford… Alphabet (which owns Waymo, another autonomous driving company)… Uber… Insurance companies… Auto parts manufacturers, and retailers, the list goes on and on… And what about the stocks of the companies that make the components for Tesla’s fleet or robotaxis? All the sensors and semiconductor chips? The plastics? The electronic circuitry?
It is all about technology replacing the need for humans. In 2013, Amazon used about 1,000 robots in its warehouses. Last year, that number clocked in at 750,000 and the savings have been incredible. The warehouses work 24 hours a day non-stop and seven days a week.
Think about the coming impact of AI and automation on, well, everything… It’s already affecting jobs for customer service agents… paralegals and legal assistants… accountants… medical diagnosticians… radiologists… financial analysts… journalists… recruiters… insurance underwriters… and marketing specialists… to name a few. Should we expect it to stop?
It will lead to a chaotic workplace as shown by the International Longshoremen’s Association strike that began yesterday, with dockworkers demanding assurances that the United States Maritime Alliance will never replace human workers with automation? As well, the Screen Actors Guild/Writers Guild of America strikes in 2023, wherein Hollywood workers demanded protection from the rising capabilities of artificial intelligence. Unions will not stop the use of AI and robots and lawlessness and chaos will erupt across cities.
In Matthew 24:12, Jesus told his disciples what will unfold in the end times before He returns to Earth. He says, “And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold”. Christians know what is coming and we need to use Biblical end-times prophecies to evangelize the lost. As these end times prophecies are fulfilled, people will realise God is real and the Bible is God’s word.
I have already posted on the speed with which AI. is replacing humans in just about all job categories. AI, combined with Robotics will have an unprecedented impact on the job market. The rapid changes in technology is making it difficult for education to keep up and provide people with the skills the market now needs.
Techochasm is just one of the end times signs. When a world rejects its Creator, it descends into lawlessness and chaos. Even when Jesus and the Saints are ruling on the Earth during Jesus 1000 thousand year reign they need to rule with a rod of iron. “From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He (Jesus) will rule them with a rod of iron.“Revelation 19:15
“The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, and he (Saints) will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.” Revelation 2:27
Moreover, we are told at the end of the 1000-year reign of Jesus and the Saints, God allows the release of Satan and he is able to raise an army of rebellious people, like the sand of the sea, to come up against Jesus and the Saints. They are quickly dispatched but it reveals a lot about the heart of unregenerate man.
“The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked: who can know it?Jeremiah 17:9
“And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.” Revelation 20:7-10
A Lutheran church in Germany recently hosted a very “21st century” church service! A young theologian and philosopher asked ChatGPT (a form of artificial intelligence) to write a 40-minute church service, which was then delivered by an avatar “with an expressionless face and monotone voice” on a screen. Now, is AI the future of the church?
The man behind this “church service” said “ It is not his intention to replace religious leaders with artificial intelligence. Rather, he sees the use of A.I. as a way to help them with their everyday work in their congregations.” But should pastors rely on AI to write, or help them write their sermons?
I would say, NO. One of the duties of the pastor is to study and preach the Word of God with excellence.
“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.1 Timothy 4:13
If a pastor is relying on someone else—or, in this case, something else—to do the hard work of digging into God’s Word for him, he is not growing and learning himself—and that will have a detrimental impact on both himself and his congregation.
A biblical pastor will carefully select the resources he uses, relying on godly theologians who likewise carefully handle the Word of truth.
AI is just pulling information from good and bad theologians across the internet! Although I must admit I was impressed with what chatGPT produced when I asked it what the Bible teaches about Jesus soon coming, Millennial Kingdom. Check it out in my May 18th post – ChatGPT produced this response to my question on the Millennial Kingdom.
Pastors, I encourage you at this cultural moment to continue to do what pastors have done for 2,000 years: “Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.” 2 Timothy 4:2
And remember this as you serve the Lord: “Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness.”James 3:1
This video will astound you as it certainly did me. It reveals that those developing AI programs really do not realize what will be the final outcome of what they are developing. Hence, we do not understand what we are developing with AI. You need to watch this video it will educate you on what is possible with AI. Much of it is positive and valuable but in the hands of evil people, it is terrifying. It is 2 hours in length but you will need more time so that you can make notes on things which are useful to you and your family.
Dr. Jordan B. Peterson and Brian Roemmele discuss 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. Whether the future will be a dystopian nightmare devoid of art or a hyper-charged intellectual utopia is yet to be seen. Still, the markers are clear … everything is already changing.
Brian Roemmele is a scientist, researcher, analyst, entrepreneur, and tech expert at the forefront of artificial intelligence. His current publication, Multiplex, offers itself as an experiment in journalism as he and his team give live updates on the empirical research they conduct in the field and advocate for AI’s positive emergence and acceptance in much the same way as personal computers.
If you needed more evidence that we are in the Biblical “last days” prior to Jesus’ second coming then this is it.
Excerpts from Wallace Henley’s latest book “Who Will Rule The Coming Gods – The looming spiritual crisis of A.I.”
The existential crisis is that in the very age when the recognition of and reverence for the transcendence of our creator God is being jettisoned, technology is on the verge of dramatic breakthroughs in robotics. Where do these people think intelligence comes from? Certainly not from matter or energy.
In the rush to make artificial intelligence machines to better serve us, humans, the wizards of the cyber world are making machines that many predict will master us. Some are already worshiping at the feet of the great god AI just as the ancient Philistines once bowed before Dagon idols. However, “AI operates at the level of syntax and cosyntics (code+syntax), but lacks semantics, pragmatics, and apobetics” Gitt, W., Without Excuse, Creation Book Publishers, Atlanta, GA, 2011. Apobetics is the highest level of the information hierarchy. It questions the purpose, objective, plan or design, being transmitted in order for the receiver to achieve the desired successful goal or outcome. (It is derived from the Greek word, apobeinon.)
Stephen Hawking warned of an age when AI could develop a will of its own, a will that is in conflict with ours and which could destroy us…“We stand on a threshold of a brave new world,” one needing “effective management in all areas of its development.” (Stephen Hawking predicted a race of superhumans will take over the world,” by Nick Whigham, news.com.au, October 15, 2018)
The development of artificial intelligence promises either a brilliant future or a threat to the very survival of humans. Much will depend on the ethical values and moral codes programmed into the machines.
“If AI transcends into Big Brother in a way that appears to be the best thing for society, I’m worried the masses will buy it without vetting,” writes Lindsay Bell, a specialist in content marketing.
Considering such possibilities and portents many questions arise, like these:
Who will rule over the new gods? (Which is another way of asking: What will artificial intelligence regard as having transcendent authority over it?)
Who decides the values and ethical boundaries that will govern the machines that might have godlike status in the future?
Who will be the equivalent in the future of Orwell’s ‘Party’ that controls the god-like machines?”
To borrow words from C.S. Lewis in The Abolition of Man: Are people “without chests” building artificial intelligence robots “without chests”? Can we really expect such devices to “honor” and serve us, or is it inevitable we will awaken to the terrifying reality that we have “traitors in our midst” of our own making?
God has written His laws on the human heart, says the Bible. (Romans 2:15) But who is constructing the algorithms of ethical and moral criteria that will determine good and bad in the operating system of an AI machine?
Thus, the most troubling question of all: Who indeed will rule the coming “gods”?
Fortunately, we know the answer to that troubling question. God has told us in His Word, the Bible but it along with God, Himself is being jettisoned. Hence many, including many in our churches, do not know what the Bible teaches about Jesus soon coming return to rescue the Saints, to destroy the works of the devil, and pour out His wrath on an unrepentant world with the trumpet and bowl judgements.
Because the time before Jesus returns to earth is a time of tribulation that escalates into great tribulation for Christians with the appearance of the Antichrist, God provides us with great detail in His Word of what will transpire at that time so that we know He is still in control of the events. In fact, it is obvious to us now that much of His so-called church is so lukewarm that He will spew it out of His mouth (church of Laodicea). It has compromised with the world and its values: homosexuality, gay marriage, and transgender issues and even teaching that Jesus is not the only way back to God.
“‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.” Revelation 3:15:19
Artificial intelligence is fast becoming a “normal” part of our lives, and in ways, we often don’t even notice until after it’s happened.
Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and other social platforms are all using artificial intelligence (AI) to discover more about you and your family, and even to gain control of certain aspects of your life. Did you also know that many of the products you purchase use AI to learn more about you? They can track where you are, what you’re doing, even who you’re with.
Best-selling author Wallace Henley’s new book, Who Will Rule the Coming ‘Gods’?, offers groundbreaking spiritual insight into these emerging AI technologies. This is a “must-read” book, not only for church and business leaders, but for all of us who are fast becoming dependent on AI, robots, and other forms of advanced technology.
The existential crisis of our age is how technology, specifically AI and robots, is eclipsing our reverence for the transcendence of God. In the rush to create human-helping AI, technologists are making machines that may eventually become our masters. Henley’s new book exposed how some people are already worshiping at the feet of the great god of AI, just as the ancient Philistines once bowed before statues of the idol Dagon.
In this compelling and groundbreaking book, Henley shares about the impending moral and ethical choices we will all soon need to make, as believers in Christ, to hold AI and its creators accountable to the true God. This is all part of the prophesied end-times scenario that leads up to God pouring out His wrath on an unrepentant world.
It is interesting that C.S.Lewis predicted in his book “Abolition of Man” that a group of elites who think of themselves as progressives and (somehow) know what the future of humanity should be and they are determined to make everyone fall into line by following the direction that they dictate.
The World Economic Forum where the global elites meet has already predicted what life for humans will look like after their proposed “Great Reset,” foreseeing the “age of human robots” will come to an end as people will be replaced by technology. Also, the WEF predicted in a 2016 video that a “happy” future would only be possible where individuals no longer owned property.
The following shows some of the reviews of Henley’s book by both religious and scientific leaders. “This book lays out a comprehensive description of the future world that our godless technological and enormously rich elites envision. But what should be the response of the God-fearing people? That is the important message of this book.” -Otis Graf, PhD, Aerospace Engineering, NASA Apollo 8 Moon Project, and the Space Shuttle
“A compelling look at a dystopic future controlled by Artificial Intelligence that has transcended above mankind as an all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-present “god”. Wallace Henley examines how technology has changed our culture’s view of God by providing us fingertip access to all the known information in history through our phones and computers. It’s not a stretch of the imagination to see how the journey outlined in this book will result in future AI advancements and technological evolution that will rival and eclipse mankind’s relationship with the One True Living God.” -Keith Carmichael, Associate Pastor, Second Baptist Church, Houston, Former Captain in USAF and NASA Space Station Design Team
“This book invites readers into a critical conversation surrounding the realities of artificial intelligence, humanity, and godhood. Excellent read!” -Rachel Leong, Former White House Aide, Legislative Aide, The United States Senate
Henley’s book is a clarion call for believers in Christ to wake up and urge our world to stop letting technology replace our one true God.
