The ‘Dead Grandma’ Voice From Amazon’s Alexa Is Just The Beginning Of A Truly Creepy End Times Trend Of Deepfake Audio Of Your Deceased Loved Ones
Whether or not you like the idea of ‘Dead Grandma’ Alexa, the demo highlights how quickly A.I. has impacted text-to-speech, and suggests that convincingly human fake voices could be a lot closer than we think.
Gone are the days where you could mention stuff from the book of Revelation, and absolutely no one outside of your Bible study group knew what you were talking about. Now when you talk about news and current events with strangers on the street, their response is invariably “dude, isn’t that just like what Revelation says?” So who wants to install an AI bot-powered digital assistant like Alexa in your home, and have it speak to your children in the voice of their beloved, but sadly, dead grandma? Count me out, man, like way out.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)
Back in the mid-1990’s, me and a group of friends started our own Bible study, and it lasted for a little under 7 years, and we got a solid grounding in understanding prophecy. But as I recall, just about everything related to prophecy hadn’t yet arrived, there were harbingers for sure, but little else. Here in 2022, we are surrounded by prophetic fulfillment from cryptocurrency, biometric clothing, AR and VR in the Metaverse, to implantable digital identification and global government injections of gene editing technology. Stay the course, Christian, our flight leaves sooner than you think. Make sure you’ve ‘fulfilled your course’ before takeoff time.
Why Amazon’s ‘dead grandma’ Alexa is just the beginning for deepfake audio voice cloning
FROM FAST COMPANY: Earlier this summer, at the re:MARS conference—an Amazon-hosted event focusing on machine learning, automation, robotics, and space—Rohit Prasad, head scientist and vice president of Alexa A.I., aimed to wow the audience with a paranormal parlor trick: speaking with the dead. “While A.I. can’t eliminate that pain of loss, it can definitely make their memories last,” he said, before showing a short video that starts with an adorable boy asking Alexa, “Can Grandma finish reading me The Wizard of Oz?”
The woman’s voice that reads a few sentences from the book sounds grandmother-y enough. But without knowing Grandma, it was impossible to evaluate the likeness. And the whole thing struck many observers as more than a little creepy—Ars Technica called the demo “morbid.” But Prasad’s revelation of how the “trick” was performed was truly gasp-worthy: Amazon scientists were able to summon Grandma’s voice based on just a one-minute audio sample. And they can easily do the same with pretty much any voice, a prospect that you may find exciting, terrifying, or a combination of both.
The fear of “deepfake” voices capable of fooling humans or voice-recognition technology is not unfounded—in one 2020 case, thieves used an artificially generated voice to talk a Hong Kong bank manager into releasing $400,000 in funds before the ruse was discovered. At the same time, as voice interactions with technology become more common, brands are eager to be represented by unique voices. And consumers seem to want tech that sounds more human (although a Google voice assistant that imitated the “ums,” “mm-hmms” and other tics of human speech, though, was criticized for being too realistic).
That’s been driving a wave of innovation and investment in A.I.-powered text-to-speech (TTS) technology. A search on Google Scholar shows more than 20,000 research articles on text-to-speech synthesis published since 2021. Globally, the text-to-speech market is projected to reach $7 billion in 2028, up from about $2.3 billion in 2020, according to Emergen Research.
Today, the most widespread use of TTS is in digital assistants and chatbots. But emerging voice-identity applications in gaming, media, personal communication, are easy to imagine: custom voices for your virtual personas, text messages that read out in your voice, voiceovers by absent (or deceased) actors. The metaverse is also changing the way we interact with technology.
“There are going to be a lot more of these virtualized experiences, where the interaction is less and less a keyboard, and more about speech,” says Frank Chang, a founding partner at A.I.-focused venture fund Flying Fish in Seattle. “Everyone thinks of speech recognition as the hot thing, but ultimately if you’re talking to something, don’t you want it to just talk back to you? To the extent that that can be personalized—with your voice or the voice of somebody you want to hear—all the better.” Providing accessibility for people with vision challenges, limited motor function, and other cognitive issues is another factor driving development of voice-tech, notably for e-learning.
Whether or not you like the idea of “Grandma Alexa,” the demo highlights how quickly A.I. has impacted text-to-speech, and suggests that convincingly human fake voices could be a lot closer than we think. READ MORE

Pentagon Makes Stunning Move To Incorporate The Palantir Maven AI Smart System As A ‘Program Of Record’ For It’s Long-term Warfighting Lineup
The Pentagon has chosen the Palantir Maven AI War System software platform to become a ‘program of record’ in its warfighting lineup
While Peter Thiel is stationed across the street from the Vatican giving lectures on the coming Antichrist, his dystopian company Palantir is busy bringing in the Mark of the Beast System. To that point, news coming out of Washington this morning shows us that the Palantir Maven AI War System software has just been adopted by the Pentagon as a ‘program of record’. The Palantir site says that Maven “powers real-time, AI-driven decisions in critical government and commercial enterprises in the West, from the factory floors to the front lines.” What could possibly go wrong?
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” 2 John 1:7 (KJB)
I know it feels like we are living in a movie like those Christian prophecy films from the 1990’s, but in reality, we are living in the days where prophecy is unfolding from the pages of your King James Bible. To a lost world, and even to the lukewarm Laodiceans who are saved but clueless, things are confusing and baffling as they bounce from one bad headline to another. But to those of us that read and believe The Book, it is crystal-clear what’s going on. World War Trump may or may not wind up being WW3, but sooner or later, that’s the station where this train is pulling into.
Pentagon to adopt Palantir Maven AI as core US military system
FROM YAHOO! FINANACE: Palantir Maven artificial intelligence system will become an official program of record, Deputy Secretary of Defense Steve Feinberg said in a letter to Pentagon leaders, a move that locks in long-term use of Palantir’s weapons-targeting technology across the U.S. military.
In the March 9 letter to senior Pentagon leaders and U.S. military commanders, Feinberg said embedding Palantir’s Maven Smart System would provide warfighters “with the latest tools necessary to detect, deter, and dominate our adversaries in all domains”. The decision is expected to go into effect by the close of the current fiscal year, which ends in September, according to the letter, which was reviewed by Reuters and has not been previously reported.

Maven is a command-and-control software platform that analyzes battlefield data and identifies targets. It is already the primary AI operating system for the U.S. military, which has carried out thousands of targeted strikes against Iran over the last three weeks.
Designating Maven as a program of record will streamline its adoption across all arms of the military and provide stable, long-term funding, Feinberg said.
The memo ordered oversight of Maven be moved from the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency to the Pentagon’s Chief Digital Artificial Intelligence Office within 30 days. Future contracting with Palantir will be handled by the Army, the letter said.
“It is imperative that we invest now and with focus to deepen the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) across the Joint Force and establish AI-enabled decision-making as the cornerstone of our strategy,” Feinberg wrote. Palantir and the Pentagon did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Feinberg’s order is a significant win for Palantir, which has landed a growing stream of contracts with the U.S. government, including a deal announced last summer with the U.S. Army worth up to $10 billion. Those awards have helped double the company’s stock price in the past year, lifting its market value to nearly $360 billion. Maven can rapidly analyze huge amounts of data from satellites, drones, radars, sensors and intelligence reports, and use AI to automatically identify potential threats or targets, like enemy military vehicles, buildings and weapons stockpiles.

The Department Of War Announced Today The United States Military Will Undergo A Full Integration Of Google Gemini Agentic AI To Its Palantir Platform
Palantir is already the dominant force in US military software and it will now be augmented by the addition of Google Gemini Agentic AI as an autonomous decision maker
As the Department of War rolls out Google’s Gemini AI across the U.S. military through GenAI.mil, another player stands quietly in the background — but its influence is enormous. That company is Palantir Technologies, the most military-embedded AI and data-fusion firm in the world.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)
A few months ago, we told you all about Memetic Warfare, something that most people had not heard of before. Today I want to add another little nugget to your knowledge base, because very soon you will be hearing this everywhere. Agentic AI. It’s AI that doesn’t just respond to your commands, it gives them to you. Scary stuff, to say the least. The Antichrist kingdom will not be run on typewriters, filing cabinets and fax machines. It will be run on autonomous agentic AI, global networks, biometric systems, and militarized enforcement technologies. Gemini Agentic AI is not used the way you use WordPress or Excel, this is not your father’s Oldsmobile, as the old marketing campaign goes. This is a whole new day.
Agentic AI is being trained to:
- Evaluate situations
- Predict outcomes
- Execute tasks
- Adapt over time
- This is “agentic AI.”
- An AI that acts.
- An AI that decides.
- An AI that will eventually be allowed to operate without human approval in order to remain “faster than adversaries.”
If you’re wondering where the Mark of the Beast and the Antichrist kingdom comes from, this would be a great starting place. https://t.co/nGYqO8AlKl

When that happens, you have crossed the line into autonomous warfare — and there will be no going back. Bible prophecy has two sides to it, on one hand it involves the opening of doors to bring about its fulfillment. On the other hand, it closes those same doors after you’ve walked through them. You might want to think about that for a year or two.
While Google provides the thinking engine, Palantir provides the eyes, ears, and nervous system to feed it. Together, they form a structure almost tailor-made for the end-times surveillance and enforcement systems foreseen in the King James Bible. Palantir’s entire business is built on the idea that every data point — financial, personal, military, biological, social, digital — can be ingested into one fused system and analyzed instantly by artificial intelligence.
This is not theoretical, this is who Palantir already sells to:
- The U.S. Army
- Special Operations Command
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement
- Intelligence agencies
- Police departments
- NATO partners
- Foreign governments
Their flagship platforms, Gotham, Foundry, and the new Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), allow governments to:
- Track people
- Predict behavior
- Identify patterns across massive datasets
- Monitor communications
- Analyze movement
- Issue alerts and automated decisions
This is the digital backbone of a modern surveillance regime. The world has never seen anything like this, but Bible believers sure have, in the pages of Scripture. We are watching the infrastructure of the Antichrist kingdom coming into place piece by piece, contract by contract, AI model by AI model. Time is short. The Church’s departure is imminent.

Donald Trump Signs Executive Order To Launch Artificial Intelligence Initiative Called ‘The Genesis Mission’ Creating A Digital Tower Of Babel
President Trump has launched The Genesis Mission to create an AI super-creature that sounds and looks like a digital Tower of Babel in advance of the Mark of the Beast
When President Donald J. Trump stood behind the Resolute Desk and signed the executive order launching what his administration calls The Genesis Mission, the world watched a seemingly routine announcement about science, technology, and competitiveness. But those paying attention — those who “have ears to hear” — saw something far more profound. Something prophetic. Something that looks less like an economic stimulus package and more like the blueprint for a digital Tower of Babel in the closing moments before the catching away of the Church.
“And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4 (KJB)
The Genesis Mission is being heralded as the largest mobilization of American scientific resources since the moon landing. In reality, it appears to be the most comprehensive attempt yet to fuse artificial intelligence, federal datasets, national laboratory supercomputers, and automated robotic experimentation into a single, unified system of knowledge and control. A system capable of compressing scientific discovery — what once took years — into mere hours. A system whose goals sound eerily similar to the global technological regime prophesied to rise in the time of Jacob’s trouble.
“This order launches the “Genesis Mission” as a dedicated, coordinated national effort to unleash a new age of AI‑accelerated innovation and discovery that can solve the most challenging problems of this century.” read the whole order
The mission’s stated purpose is to accelerate discovery across biology, nuclear fusion, quantum systems, climate modeling, materials science, and more. In other words — to take the raw building blocks of God’s creation and place them under the predictive authority of artificially intelligent systems capable of designing, simulating, and executing scientific experiments without human oversight.
If that doesn’t sound like man attempting to rewrite the rules of creation, nothing does.
This is not merely research. This is re-creation — man attempting to simulate, automate, and accelerate the mechanisms of life and nature. It is scientific ambition dressed up as innovation, but it is spiritually identical to the rebellion that first appeared in Eden and climaxed at Babel.
The Abraham Accords, the Genesis Mission, is anyone else seeing the same pattern that we’re seeing?
The Genesis Mission Is A Digital Nervous System For Federal Power
For the first time in history, the U.S. government is attempting to unify:
- all federal scientific datasets
- all national laboratory supercomputers
- all major AI models
- all simulation environments
- all robotic experiment platforms…into one coordinated AI-driven infrastructure.
This creature will be a living system with:
- nerves (data pipelines),
- organs (labs and supercomputers),
- brain (federal AI models),
- hands (robotic labs),
- eyes (sensors and datasets).
This isn’t a program. It’s the creation of a national digital organism — a living, thinking, learning system whose purpose is to accelerate discovery, prediction, and control. If you’ve ever read Revelation, then you know what’s going on.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)
A Technological Run-up To The Time Of Jacob’s Trouble
The Bible tells us that before the Day of the Lord:
- knowledge shall be increased (Dan. 12:4)
- nations will clamor for power (Matt. 24:7)
- deception and signs will multiply (2 Thess. 2:9)
- a global system of control will emerge (Rev. 13)
How do you generate the technological scaffolding for such a system? You build something like the Genesis Mission. Of course, it will take all the ‘usual suspects’ like Palantir, Blackrock, DARPA, Bill Gates, Oracle, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and all the rest of the tech titans to make this a reality. But isn’t that the whole point and purpose behind Stargate?
- Faster discovery.
- Centralized systems.
- Integrated data.
- Autonomous decision-making.
- National mobilization.
- Global potential.
“For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.” Revelation 17:17 (KJB)
Pieces falling into place, one executive order at a time. As we often remind our readers at NTEB: prophecy does not require the willing participation of world leaders. God uses kings, presidents, nations, armies — and yes, technologies — to move history toward its appointed end. Revelation 17:17 says that God will put it into their hearts to fulfill His will, and that’s exactly what we see taking place right now.
Our sale comes at the perfect time if you’re looking for some excellent gift giving ideas for the holidays, looking to expand your Bible study library, or wanting to purchase a beautiful new King James Bible in calfskin, lambskin or goatskin for yourself.
