INTRODUCING AI – GROK 3

GROK means to truly and purely understand something. This video will blow your mind as to how quickly Grok 3 was developed. An important step was to improve the computers doing the work. It thinks like a human with unlimited intelligence.

xAI, the Elon Musk-led AI company, has launched its latest Grok 3 chatbot. Musk has described the Grok 3 as the “Smartest AI on Earth.” It succeeded the Grok 2, which was launched in August of last year. During the launch, Musk showcased the capabilities of the latest chatbot, which included advanced reasoning, text-to-video conversion, and self-correction mechanisms. In benchmarks, Grok 3 outperforms Gemini-2 Pro, DeepSeek V3, and OpenAI’s GPT-4o in math, science, and coding.

The pace of technological change is staggering, and governments and learning establishments can’t keep up. Governments have been unable to cope with the changes due to climate change and the energy transition to renewables, let alone the impact of LGBTQ and diversity issues. Chaos and lawlessness will only increase, setting the stage for the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast. Biblical end times prophecies are playing out exactly as prophesied. Proof the Bible was constructed by God. There are over two thousand prophecies of Jesus’ second coming to Earth to restore righteousness and establish His Millennial Kingdom. This Earth has another 1000 years with Jesus ruling and reigning from a new Jerusalem. Israel, the nation God established for His purposes will finally fulfill its destiny as the lead nation of the world.

TECHNOCHASM & THE END TIMES

A chasm has opened in America… a great divide. On one side… a new aristocracy, amassing more wealth, more quickly than any other group in American history. Today, the one percent makes more money in one month than most people make in a lifetime. On the other side… The opposite is happening. Wealth is flowing out of the pockets of ordinary Americans at an unprecedented rate. Today, nearly 80% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

This chasm between the rich and poor is only going to get larger and is one of the reasons Jesus must return to restore righteousness. Prior to God destroying this Earth by fire, it has another 1,000 years with Jesus ruling and reigning with the glorified Saints. The nation God established for His purposes, Israel, will finally fulfill its destiny but only with Jesus ruling from a new Jerusalem.

From His (Jesus) mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.Revelation 19:15-16

Then we will have had 6,000 years of unregenerate man ruling the world under the influence of Satan and his demons followed by 1,000 years with Jesus and the Saints ruling the nations with a rod of iron. At 7,000 years this Earth’s history is complete.

Then comes the end, when he (Jesus) delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.” 1 Corinthians 15:24-26

Then comes the second resurrection of the dead followed by the White Throne judgement and only then does John see a new Jerusalem descending from a new Heaven onto a new Earth where only the righteous dwell.

CHASM BETWEEN RICH AND THE POOR

Over the last four decades, advancements in computing power, data storage, communications gear, artificial intelligence, and other technologies have followed a trajectory like you see on the left side of the chart below. This is because they started at very low levels. But after many years of advancing at exponential rates, technologies are entering the “liftoff” phase.

This rapid increase in the rate at which the world is changing has stunning business and investment ramifications. The world around us is changing at never-before-seen speeds… the speed and capabilities of our computers are increasing at unfathomable rates… And it’s catching many people off guard.

This is creating a gigantic shift in the way our economy works and how we build wealth. Today, the acceleration of our technological progress allows companies to operate with just a fraction of the number of employees businesses used to require. Forty years ago, it took the work of tens of thousands of people to build a business worth $20 BILLION or more. Now, some businesses can do it with less than 2,000 people. For example, in 2019, the workplace software company Slack achieved a market value of $23 BILLION. It had less than 1,700 employees. Getting to a $23 BILLION valuation with just 1,700 employees never used to happen! Back in 1989, Kodak had about 145,000 employees and was valued at around $16 BILLION… But in 2017, Snapchat achieved a $24 BILLION valuation and had just 1,800 employees. Back in 1964, AT&T had more than 750,000 employees… But in 2017, Google was a bigger and far richer company than AT&T with 92% fewer employees sharing the wealth. Plus, people who invested in Google when it went public made about 17 times more gains than those who invested in AT&T over the same time.

The best new companies of today simply don’t need many people compared to companies from a decade or two ago. The number of great jobs is decreasing while the pay for these employees getting the jobs is radically soaring! This is why the wealth gap gets wider and wider every single year. The incredible rise in computing power, automation, and robotics makes all these things possible. The rules of business and building wealth are being rewritten in front of our very eyes. Over the last few decades, it took on average about 20 years for the typical Fortune 500 company to reach a market capitalization of $1 BILLION.

In 1998, Google reached $1 BILLION in market cap in just eight years, which was considered incredible. By 2004, Facebook had done it in just five years. By 2009, Uber had done it in under three years. In 2012, virtual reality firm Oculus did it in under two years. From 2012 to today, Facebook shareholders enjoyed as much as a 1,507% return on their investment. From 2010 to today, Tesla investors have made as much as 9,100% gains. Snapchat investors have made as much as 1,213% since 2018. By now, you can see how in many cases the time it takes for massive change is getting “compressed.” Industries are being transformed in a short time. As a result, new industries are springing up at a rapid and ever-increasing pace… while old industries are being disrupted at a rapid and ever-increasing pace. It will wreck family businesses, careers, and investment portfolios. New industries are springing up at a rapid and ever-increasing pace… while old industries are being demolished at a rapid and ever-increasing pace. As Uber and Lyft soared to billion-dollar valuations, the old taxi industry was devastated. It lost millions of dollars in revenue.

Since 2004, at least 1,800 American newspapers have ceased publication. The sector has shed 47% of its jobs during this time. Amazon has transformed the way we shop and get our stuff. In the process, it’s driven dozens of old-school “brick and mortar” retailers into bankruptcy. Department stores have lost 18 times more jobs than coal mining since 2001. In less than seven years, Uber demolished the “old” taxi industry. Airbnb now offers more rooms than the top five hotel brands, including Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt, combined… Google has taken over information… by 2012, Encyclopedia Britannica published its final volumes, after 244 years of circulation. Spotify and iTunes have turned the music world upside down. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram have disrupted traditional media outlets…

TECHNOCHASM

Technology is advancing exponentially and its adoption is also experiencing exponential growth. Our lifestyles are set to change dramatically as a result. At the same time governments have recklessly taken on so much debt they are unable to govern responsibly. Money printing is rampant and interest rates close to or at zero. A great financial reset is inevitable. As well, Covid has given governments much more control over their citizens which they will not readily relinquish. Covid has also changed dramatically how businesses operate and in fact how we live our lives. The scene is set for Technochasm. Eric Fry, editor of Fry’s Investment report first used the word Technochasm to describe the phenomenon that is dividing our economy — and our stock market — into distinct groups of winners on one side … and losers on the other. Tech-focused and tech-enabled companies are leaving their old-school counterparts in the dust — both on Main Street and on Wall Street.

Crown prince Mohammed bin Salman told Bloomberg in October 2018 that Neom will be completed in 2025, and phase one is nearing completion.
  • Saudi Arabia is building a futuristic mega-city called Neom deep in a desert bordering the Red Sea.
  • The state has pledged at least $500 billion to make it happen, and is soliciting further investment.

Another good example of technological change is Electric Vehicles and Driverless vehicles both developing at a phenomenal rate, made possible by 5G. Experts predict that by as early as 2030 – that 95% of new car sales will be Electric Vehicles (EV) largely due to the development of solid state batteries when 1000 km range will become the norm, and charging time cut to 5 minutes (80 per cent). EV self driving cars will reduce the traffic volumes by 80% on the roads. Imagine the impact this will have on our how we live our lives. You will not own a car, you will order a driverless car for each occasion. A minicar for one person to go to work or an eight person vehicle for the family to go on an outing. Homes will no longer need garages. The vehicle that takes you to work will immediately be sent on another errand or to a Battery Recharge Station.

What about robotics? Amazon already has a robotic warehouse. It operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week and for the most of the time it does not need the lights on. Robots make few order processing errors so the Customer Service Department was reduced dramatically.

Robot restaurants are popping up all over downtown San Francisco, as a futuristic option for people to grab fast food for cheap. The latest example is Creator, a robotic restaurant that specializes in making gourmet hamburgers with their all-in-one burger robots. This video takes you behind-the-scenes of their appointment-only smart kitchen to learn more about how robots will be the future of food in urban cities. Why they say Robot restaurants won’t take your job is because without robots these restaurants would not exist because the owners could not afford the space needed nor pay the staff costs required for a restaurant using manual labour.

Blockchain technology is another big disrupter, its impact will be almost if not bigger than the internet. Blockchain technology will break the shackles of centralization and provide better options to end-users. At the core, blockchain is a decentralized, peer-to-peer ledger-based network where there is no central authority. It will take the middle man out of so many transactions across most sectors of industry (trade and finance) and government.

Another aspect of the Digital Revolution is digital money. Bitcoin is already mainstream but in addition China is set to launch the digital yuan latest 2022. America will not be far behind as they realise the digital yuan will give China an edge to challenge America as the dominant international currency.

Put all this radical exponential technological change together with Governments that are no longer able to govern wisely and we have Technochasm. The rich are getting richer and the middleclass and the poor are getting poorer. The young believe previous generations, particularly this generation have destroyed the planet to the extent it now threatens their existence. They are taking to the streets and to violence to effect change, anarchy and lawlessness is escalating. I believe the scene is being set for the prophesied Antichrist to step onto the stage, the strongman able to solve the worlds problems. However, Bible prophecy tells us we still have two significant middle east wars before the little horn (Antichrist) of Daniel 7 & 8 is revealed. Regardless, time is short, Christians need to get about our Master’s business to share the Gospel, the only good news for a world that is facing the wrath of God.
