NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

What if a stranger could snap your picture on the sidewalk then use an app to quickly discover your name, address and other details? Meet Clearview AI

It’s been building now for decades, but when the change finally comes, it will seem so swift and all encompassing that it will be nearly unrecognizable by most people. I am talking of course about the day when we become fully integrated into a cyborg world dominated by AI, VR, and all the other alphabet designations that are heralding the coming switch. And this is not something that will be relegated to the time of Jacob’s trouble, this is something we will experience now before the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church.

“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)

We have been groomed as a population though books, movies and music to accept a world that we not only share with machines but one in which we begin to merge with the machines. The smart phone debuted in 2007, and in just 13 short years it has grown to be an appendage to our physical bodies. That is the very definition of what a cyborg is. Over the next 2-5 years, if the Lord tarries, we will see things and be immersed in things that were only thought possible in science fiction novels. The Matrix, Minority Report, and all those other movies will become everyday reality.

Clearview AI app lets strangers find your name and info with snap of a photo

FROM C|NET: A startup called Clearview AI has made that possible, and its app is currently being used by hundreds of law enforcement agencies in the US, including the FBI, says a Saturday report in The New York Times.

The app, says the Times, works by comparing a photo to a database of more than 3 billion pictures that Clearview says it’s scraped off Facebook, Venmo, YouTube and other sites. It then serves up matches, along with links to the sites where those database photos originally appeared. A name might easily be unearthed, and from there other info could be dug up online.

The size of the Clearview database dwarfs others in use by law enforcement. The FBI’s own database, which taps passport and driver’s license photos, is one of the largest, with over 641 million images of US citizens. The Clearview app isn’t currently available to the public, but the Times says police officers and Clearview investors think it will be in the future.

Law enforcement officers say they’ve used the app to solve crimes from shoplifting to child sexual exploitation to murder. But privacy advocates warn that the app could return false matches to police and that it could also be used by stalkers and others. They’ve also warned that facial recognition technologies in general could be used to conduct mass surveillance.

Regulation of facial recognition technology is currently up in the air in the US. A few cities, including San Francisco, have banned its use, but there aren’t yet any federal laws.

On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee held its third hearing on facial recognition, as lawmakers look to address the tech’s use in public spaces by both private companies and government agencies. “We’re going to have to really grapple with what are the parameters of protecting privacy and controlling the use of this technology,” Rep. Gerry Connolly, a Democrat from Virginia, said at the hearing.

In November, two senators introduced a bipartisan bill that would limit how agencies like the FBI and US Immigration and Customs Enforcement could use the tech. “Facial recognition technology can be a powerful tool for law enforcement officials,” one of the senators, Mike Lee, a Republican from Utah, said in a statement at the time. “But its very power also makes it ripe for abuse.”

Clearview AI didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. The FBI didn’t immediately have a comment. READ MORE

Clearview AI gives police over 3 billion people’s facial data, the FBI took down a website with 12 billion personal records and used a 3rd party app to unlock an iPhone. A hacker demonstrates a Windows vulnerability by posting a meme on the NSA and Github’s websites.

Monster Energy Drink Company Launches ‘The Beast Unleashed’ Hard Seltzer Alcoholic Beverage Complete With 666 And The All-Seeing Eye On Every Can

Published

Monster Energy Drink company has launched ‘The Beast Unleashed’ with 666 on every can to remind you of the rising spirit of the coming Antichrist

There has never been more information so readily available at the touch, swipe or tap of a smart device screen as there is right here right now in 2023. And yet, from a spiritual perspective, we are heartbreakingly ignorant of basic Bible truths. Paul tells us that our eyes and ears aren’t working right and our hearts have ‘waxed gross’. Habakkuk tells us that we are watching prophecy coming true and not believing what we’re seeing. The Monster Energy Drink company last month launched ‘The Beast Unleashed’ with the Illuminati all-seeing eye of Horus and 666 on every can, and it didn’t even cause a minor stir. How could that be? Because this world is preparing itself to receive Antichrist, that’s how.

“Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.” 2 Corinthians 2:11 (KJB)

Satanism in America is literally all around you, it permeates social media, advertising, marketing, television, music and movies. For every one gospel witness billboard up on the highway, there are 100 advertisements for the things of Satan like smoking, the consumption of alcohol, fornication, perversion and gambling. The Monster Energy Drink logo is designed to look like the claw marks of an animal, but is actually 3 instances of the number 6 in Hebrew. There’s your first 666. With ‘The Beast Unleashed’ drink, they’ve set the alcohol percentage level firmly at 6 percent, and place next to it a second instance of their 666 logo. What does that give you? It gives you an alcoholic drink called ‘The Beast’ with 666 on every can 3 times, with the all-seeing eye in the background watching you while you drink it. Wake up, Christian, awake from your slumber and get something done for the Lord Jesus Christ while you still can.

‘The Beast Unleashed’ is the latest 666 offering from the Monster Energy Drink company

FROM CRAFTJACKS: The Beast Unleashed is a flavored malt alcoholic beverage designed to ensure you never leave the house, nor your screen or controller, ever again. The Ready-to-Drink Hard Seltzer is being sold 21 years after the release of Monster’s immensely popular energy drink.

21+ Gamers, Pros and Noobs alike, are rejoicing from the comfort of their parents converted-to-a-living-quarters basements as they remind their mothers to come home with a 12 pack of The Beast next time she goes to the grocery store.

Either way, Monster Energy drinks just got hard. Make no mistake about it though, 6% ABV isn’t a crushing amount, considering most contemporary IPAs fall around that range. Even at 16 fl oz, The Beast won’t unleash any demons within you until you’re on your third, fourth or even fifth go-round.

The Beast Unleashed will be targeting lifestyle enthusiasts, social media influencers, programmers, engineers, developers, Bro Culturists, Gamers, E-Sports players, and anyone who is normally into having a good time with synthetic tasting flavors. READ MORE

New TikTok Trend Of ‘Trad Wife’ Catches On As More And More Women Showing Interest In Traditional And Biblical Marriage Roles For Men And Women

Published

on

NOW THE END BEGINS SHARE:

A trad wife, short for traditional wife, according to TikTok creator Estee Williams, is ‘a woman who prefers to take a traditional or ultra-traditional role in marriage, including the beliefs that a woman’s place is in the home.’

It’s quite interesting to see how that, in this plastic and highly-artificial world we’ve created for ourselves, from time to time there is a stirring to return to purity and wholesomeness even if it’s just a temporary trend on TikTok. How well I can recall how different mothers were when I was growing up, and the strong emphasis placed on family and making a house into a home. That time period wasn’t perfect, but it was a whole lot less scary than life is here in 2023. I would much rather have a ‘trad wife’ who cherishes her husband than a ‘hot mom’ who’s overly-focused on self-care and self-love. Mary Hatch in ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ comes immediately to mind, as does the Proverbs 31 woman.

Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.” Proverbs 31:10-12 (KJB)

While we’re on the subject of social media and the Communist Chinese-owned TikTok, does it disturb you that people are now living their lives in group think? The influence and sway that social media exerts on the minds of people, especially young people, is astounding. The whole world is preparing itself for the events laid out in places like Revelation 13, where AI will create floating images that will speak and receive worship. In the meantime, the dividing line between humans and the smart devices that control us continues to disintegrate.

The TikTok viral ‘trad wife’ trend accused of ‘romanticizing an era where sexism and racism ruled’

FROM THE NY POST: While these women channel the structure of a stereotypical 1950s household in which the husband goes to work while their wives stay home to cook, clean, and care for any children, those behind the trend say it’s so much more – particularly in the age of burnout and struggles to maintain a work-life balance in the post-COVID age.

“It doesn’t mean that we are trying to take away what women fought for,” Williams said in a TikTok video from September. “There are a lot of people trying to make this a sinister thing or put some other, darker meaning behind the term ‘trad wife.’ Nobody is doing that.

“No trad wife TikToker is saying every woman’s place is in their home. We, as individuals are just choosing to be homemakers. That’s all.”

Williams argues that being a trad wife is not a movement but rather a lifestyle. She also, in her September TikTok, argued that those behind the lifestyle don’t see women as less important than men just because they are submissive to their husbands.

Other videos aligning with the #tradwife hashtag show women baking, sweeping floors, and trying on mid-century-style dresses as they rave about the liberating transition from their old way of life to their new one. Others focus on the biblical implications of being a homemaker and how being a trad wife allows them to fulfill the role. READ MORE

Are You Ready To Receive Your ‘Digital Human’ Chatbot So Your Generative AI Software Will Make You Think You Are Interacting With A Real Person?

D-ID’s platform will utilize its already proven text-to-video software in order to turn an AI chatbot into a real fake person

Since the launch of the personal computer in the 1980’s to the advent of the internet in 1994, our global society has been on a collusion course with robots, aliens, and everything else dystopian movie classic ‘The Matrix’ warned us about. In 2023, the hottest new thing is called generative AI, and it will revolutionize how we live and conduct business every bit as much as air travel at the dawn of the 20th century. Of course, if you have a King James Bible, this little ‘newsflash’ we’re bringing you today is approximately 2,000 years old.

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)

If you’re thinking of ‘getting off the grid’ you’ve missed your chance by about a decade now, so don’t waste your time trying to do that. No one gets off the grid now, the door is closed, and the only way out is up, as in Flight #777 up, as in 23 skidoo up. The robots are receiving brains now, brains that can think because they’re modeled on your brain. Remember that Twilight Zone episode of the couple living with robots who were convinced they were human? That’s you, baby, that’s what’s happening now. Tick, tick, people…and I don’t mean TikTok.

D-ID launches AI Digital Human platform so you can look your chatbot in the eyes

FROM THE JERUSALEM POST: Generative AI is one of the industry-defining technologies of the hi-tech world in 2023, and the recent popularity of platforms such as ChatGPT and DALL-E has led to a seemingly non-stop cavalcade of new AI innovations. Smart text chatbots have become an integral medium of interaction between consumers and brands, and D-ID hopes to alleviate some of the frustration associated with that interaction.

One of the latest comes by way of generative AI platform developer D-ID, which on Wednesday launched a chat platform that will enable face-to-face conversations with an “AI Digital Human,” made possible by the company’s proprietary text-to-video tech.

While the technology could be applied in several ways, from creative to educational, D-ID expects that it will be best utilized by enterprises and developers, allowing them to create photorealistic digital assistants who can interact with consumers in a more human, engaging, and effective way. These digital assistants can be used to improve customer support, sales, training, personal finance, and a host of other applications, and are likely to increase conversion and customer experience while lowering overall costs.

“Large language models like GPT-3 and LaMDA are changing the way we relate to and interact with technology, and we are not far off from all of us having our own personalized AI assistants and companions,” said Gil Perry, CEO and co-founder of D-ID. “We are making tech more human by giving it a face and making the interaction more natural. I am very proud of D-ID, which continues to be at the cutting edge of the emergent generative AI industry.”

There is currently buzz among experts regarding the ethical development of AI. As generative AI becomes more prevalent among consumers and businesses alike with each passing day, the need for its increased transparency becomes more relevant. READ MORE 

You Are Now The ‘Obsolete Man’

The name of this episode is ‘The Obsolete Man’, and what makes him that is two things. One, he’s a human living in the time of technology, and two, he’s a Bible believer who reads the word and trusts in God. Do you really need a long explanation about this, or do you just get it? I really hope you do.
