Technological Singularity:
Humanity Stands at the Edge of the AI Abyss

Have the power elites already created their Frankenstein?

AUTONOMOUS SUPERINTELLIGENCE

The Mad Scientists Don’t Even Know,
What They Don’t Know

“When scientific knowledge and applied technology
reach a critical level of advancement, without being
informed by spiritual truths and guided by moral
authority, this planetary civilization will cease to
exist as it is. Once certain thresholds are crossed
into forbidden areas of dangerous scientific pursuit
and technological development, the destiny of the
human race will be abruptly and forever altered.”

English author Mary Shelley completed her world famous sci-fi novel FRANKENSTEIN in 1817, exactly 200 years ago. It “tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist who creates a grotesque but sapient creature in an unorthodox scientific experiment”. Her eerily prophetic book was first published in 1818.[1]

Now here we are two centuries later in 2017. Little does the world know that the civilization now stands at the precipice of the scientific-technological abyss, both figuratively and literally.

How so?

The AI* scientific research and robotics applied technology communities have married each other in ways that indicate a pivotal and highly consequential project is in the works. This furtive enterprise has seen the convergence of all the scientific disciplines and technological advancements which are directly related to the realm of human immortality and longevity.

*AI = Artificial intelligence

The primary goal of this massive and unprecedented collaboration is to find the proverbial “fountain of youth”. The power elites who rule planet Earth truly seek eternal life. They honestly believe that human immortality is attainable. In this way, they intend to transform themselves into gods; albeit, a notably synthesized version of God.

Technological Singularity

The current scientific-technological AI/robotics paradigm is best described as a “Star Wars” spaceship that is speeding toward “Technological Singularity”. Just what is “Technological Singularity”?

“The technological singularity (also, simply, the singularity) is the hypothesis that the invention of artificial superintelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth, resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization. According to this hypothesis, an upgradable intelligent agent (such as a computer running software-based artificial general intelligence) would enter a “runaway reaction” of self-improvement cycles, with each new and more intelligent generation appearing more and more rapidly, causing an intelligence explosion and resulting in a powerful superintelligence that would, qualitatively, far surpass all human intelligence.”[2]

A Race to the Bottom

For the uninitiated, it’s essential to understand the following crucial key points. The current scientific and technological pursuits toward perfecting A.I. (especially autonomous superintelligence) are taking place almost completely under the radar with the exception of a few popular endeavors which have been nicely packaged for public consumption. Needless to say, all parties involved in those experimental developments undertaken under the radar are doing so for specific seasons. Deep down inside, these scientists and theoreticians know that they are currently engaged in a race to the bottom. As follows:

KEY POINTS: That the scientific-technological elites have been aggressively pursuing a specific objective which revolves around attaining human immortality. Artificial intelligence, robotics, genetic engineering, biotechnology, cryogenics have all seen considerable advancement over the past few decades in the interest of accomplishing this goal. Their essential mission is to fabricate an android biological entity that can theoretically live forever. Their real intention, however, is to infuse this artificially superintelligent and physically immortal being with human consciousness (See: The Elite Want to Transfer Consciousness into a New Body and Live Forever). In this way the power elites believe they can attain human immortality, even if only experienced vicariously, which is significantly different from divine immortality. Their secret quest to attain eternal life — in the human body — via science and technology, instead of through spirituality, is what actually spurred the formation of the Illuminati. These self-proclaimed “illumined ones” quite deliberately chose the left-handed path in defiance of the Creator. That fateful decision has led to over 240 years of incessant wars and revolutions around the globe. This ongoing saga of greed and lust for power has been portrayed in some of the most ‘popular’ epics ever written and/or filmed. During these post-modern times their futile endeavors are being depicted in novels and songs, artwork and plays, motion pictures and TV programs more than ever (e.g. Blade Runner and its sequel Blade Runner 2049.) For repetitive predictive programming has always been a central pillar of their agenda toward convincing the masses that their inventions are good and will make life easier. (e.g. ‘Dr. Frankenstein’ Surgeon Wants to Perform World’s First Head Transplant in December)

The Quest for Human Immortality

Who knew that much of what occurs today at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA is aimed at completing this scientific-technological goal; not what we have been told by the media. So are the grandiose experiments in particle physics being intermittently run at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider on the French-Swiss border. In fact, much of the funding allocated to various scientific research projects at major universities, government laboratories, corporate R&D departments, private foundations and other participating institutions is actually directed toward fabricating a self-rejuvenating transhuman organism that ‘will never die’.

The most obvious problem with this ambition is that the present civilization would never be the same should this goal be even partially attained. Nevertheless, the prospect of a superintelligent race of synthetic androids looms large on the horizon for those hellbent on carrying out this reckless agenda. They apparently have not considered the great likelihood that these superbionic cyborgs (Frankensteins) would eventually come to rule the planet, before they take over the Solar System. Then, they would likely set their sights on the Milky Way Galaxy with the intention of conquering the entire Universe.

KEY POINT: Many critics of unbridled AI development have surmised that most of humanity would be sold into slavery, and in many cases people would become the pets of the new bionic super race.

Just as the Prime Creator created the human being in Its own image and likeness, so, too, do the earthbound power elites intend to fabricate their “Frankensteins” in their own likeness. That’s precisely why their superintelligent race of cyborgs would eventually want to take over the world and beyond. The scientific-technological class merely follows the orders of those wealthy elites who have gained their power and riches through millennia of warmongering. Hence, it’s quite predictable that their humanoid progeny would have a similar Martian mindset. For the apple does not fall far from the tree.

Destined to fail

It should be readily apparent that forging ahead with wanton abandon toward the goal of human immortality is as perilous as it gets. Particularly because of who is running the show, the disastrous outcomes of this misguided venture are both inevitable and preordained. However, you can’t tell the mad scientists that. Nor will the power elites ever listen to the voice of reason. They want to play god no matter what the consequences to themselves or to the rest of humanity. AI & BioTech Marry Up To Procreate ‘Homo Deus’

This dangerous mentality, marked by supreme arrogance and ignorance, has permeated every corner of the concerned applied science and applied technology arenas. Each of the scientific and technological disciplines that converge in the pursuit of human immortality has been pushing the edge of the envelope. In so doing, the world community now finds itself negotiating more slippery slopes of medical ethics and scientific morality than it knows how to handle. Many of the involved scientists proceed down these dangerous paths only because the challenges are there. Very few ever stop to ask the question: Is it safe or right to undertake such an endeavor in light of the many unforeseen and/or unintended consequences? And there are many and they are ineffably serious.

The real problem here is that those who are promoting the human immortality enterprise are so blinded by their hubris that they will not see the cliff until after they go over it. Just like the cautionary tale known as “the sinking of Atlantis”, today’s convenient marriage of scientific and technological, political and military, occult and religious elites has put the whole of humanity at great risk. Therefore, unless there is a wakeup call soon to the nations of the world, and people everywhere become aware of what’s really going on, there will be an earth-shattering event which will be necessary to short-circuit their foolhardy plans.

Artificial Superintelligence Comes of Age

There are now daily announcements about this or that technological advancement or scientific breakthrough in the fields directly related to achieving human immortality. Each of them seems to arouse a growing backlash from those very few within the AI intelligentsia who know enough to protest and/or issue the appropriate warnings. The real problem with these now meteoric developments is that many take place in a virtual vacuum.

Whenever DARPA, Bell Labs, CERN’s Large Hadron Collider and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have collaborated on projects in the past, they do so as if participating in a C.I.A. black operation. Many of the key scientists know only what is going on in their little niche and particular realm of inquiry or experimentation. They are literally clueless about the many other integral pieces of the AI-robotics puzzle that are being ever-so-painstakingly put together.

Flashback to the very first computer known as ENIAC constructed in the mid 1940s. Here’s the short story:

“The ENIAC was invented by J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly at the University of Pennsylvania and began construction in 1943 and was not completed until 1946. It occupied about 1,800 square feet and used about 18,000 vacuum tubes, weighing almost 50 tons.”[3]

Since that watershed moment in 1946, the scientific community and technological class have made common cause toward the attainment of technological singularity. Many of the best minds are lured to this high-stakes game simply because “Mount Everest is there to be climbed”. Little or no consideration is ever given to the potentially cataclysmic consequences. This has been the basic context for well over 70 years now since the end of World war II.

During this same time frame, computing technology, peripheral information technology, artificial intelligence, autonomous superintelligence, robotics, genetic engineering and related disciplines have each seen a considerable acceleration in their advancement. Where major developments initially occurred slowly yet incrementally, they soon graduated to an arithmetic progression. This pattern was soon replaced by a geometric progression of development after just a few years and is now occurring at an exponential rate.

When the original supercomputers were first built in the early 1960s (e.g. Cray CDC 6600 supercomputer) the scientific-technological community started to experience an exponential progression in their capability to problem solve. Since that time, their progress has seen a steady evolvement approaching a nearly vertical upward trajectory. Presently these scientists experience unlimited breakthroughs and advancements, establishing a remarkable pattern of success which has been taking place more and more rapidly since the advent of the Internet in 1995. Hence, one can only imagine what the true state of the art of AI (and AS) is today.

Once the capacity of the fastest computing technology approached the exceedingly high levels that currently exist, there was no AI problem which could not be solved in virtually a moment of time. Likewise, any unforeseen or difficult challenge could be met by aiming the most powerful supercomputer at it. Given the inconceivable power and speed of this computing brainpower, it was only a matter of when it would be utilized to design autonomous superintelligence. And so they have! Except that only a very few have set their eyes upon the rapidly manifesting, 21st century Frankenstein that possesses such autonomous superintelligence.

“Speaking to Dr. Victor Frankenstein, the wretch refers to himself as “the Adam of your labours”, and elsewhere as someone who “would have [been] your Adam”, but is instead “your fallen angel” (which ties to Lucifer in Paradise Lost, which the monster reads, and relates to the “modern” Prometheus of the book’s subtitle).” [1]

The vast majority of highly classified work that is done on the various projects which are essential to inventing autonomous superintelligence (AS) is done in extremely secret underground laboratories. These locations are not even on the map like the super-guarded military installations at Area 51 and Pine Gap. In other words, those who are deeply involved with this ultra-sensitive work are never seen or heard from.

AI pitchmen like Ray Kurzweil are merely frontmen who are used to ready the public for the next phase of AI and robotics introduction into society. In reality, all AI press proclamations issued by the mainstream media reflect developments that were made decades ago. Each and every one of these artificial intelligence progress reports is quite purposefully years behind that which is actually transpiring in the clandestine AI laboratories. However, there is fortunately some excellent reporting being done now by the Alt Media about this grave situation. Here’s just one example: : “The Coming 5G Roll-out & AI Will Transform Human Society By 2025!”

Only the power elites know exactly how close they are to the fulfillment of their dreams; our nightmare. They are also cognizant of the extreme threats to civilization were the product(s) of their enterprise to fall into the hands of a real terrorist group. Hence, the ultra-secrecy around all of their projects has been strictly enforced from the very beginning. For it is the creation of [PERFECTLY CONTROLLED] autonomous superintelligence that is the Holy Grail for those enamored with the notion of human immortality. Everything else is relatively easy for TPTB.

Autonomous Superintelligence

What’s really up with this pursuit of “autonomous superintelligence”?

Well, what is very interesting is that when you Google it (within quotation marks as shown above), just over 4 Google pages are returned!

Such an info blackout alone is truly astounding. It’s totally mind-boggling that they have been so successful in shutting down the topic on the Internet, especially in 2017!

Let’s first take a quick look at what few really understand about AI (artificial intelligence), the precursor to AS (autonomous superintelligence).

“This field of AI is called Artificial Superintelligence, and it is also the field of research that Stephen Hawking has warned us about. One of AI’s leading figures, Nick Bostrom has defined superintelligence as “an intellect that is much smarter than the best human brains in practically every field, including scientific creativity, general wisdom and social skills.” This slight or vast superiority to human intellect is disconcerting to scientists and laymen because its outcome is unknown. A machine capable of constantly learning and improving itself could be unstoppable.”[4]

That’s a very short unscientific description for the very precarious AI field of endeavor. Now for a longer explanation of the much more advanced autonomous superintelligence. Artificial superintelligence that is autonomous, once created and completed, would not need any human assistance, intervention or programming whatsoever. Much more significantly, it’s the astonishing capacity for self-learning and developing self-awareness that really distinguishes autonomous superintelligence from everything else on the drawing board. This evolving form of synthetic superintelligence continues to learn and expand its horizons independently—FOREVER!

“Synthetic sentience, the capacity for perceiving, a sense of self, the threshold of emergent consciousness. This is not “AI” (artificial intelligence) in the traditional sense, but something very different, more in the realms of artificial life, growing and evolving its way into every facet of current and future life.”[5]

In other words, such an AS non-human entity (i.e. android) would theoretically be able to come and go like a human being, except that it would do everything ‘better and faster’, if it so chose to. These exceedingly competent androids could not only think and speak, but do so more clearly and precisely than anyone else on the planet. (See: The Crazy Language of AI Bots and Non-Human Entities) The bottom line here is that these superhuman cyborgs would excel at many things that most people are only marginally good at doing. That would include playing the ‘game’ its crazy creators just love to play called WAR.

So, just to be clear, if an autonomous superintelligent Frankenstein decided to become a warmonger for survival’s sake, guess where that would leave the rest of the residents on planet Earth?!

Special Note:
Just in case the reader did not get it, there is NOTHING more dangerous to the planetary civilization than humanity’s audacious flirtation with AI. Particularly because of the breath-taking advances being made with autonomous superintelligence, the moment of truth is about to arrive. The CCRG literally formed around this exceptionally weighty issue. We recognized back in 1986 that the scientific community was determined to carry out this inordinately dangerous plan. That they would stop at nothing before accomplishing this fool’s errand. And that’s exactly what it is: a dangerous errand being run for off-planet EBEs (extraterrestrial biological entities) whose primary objective is total control of planet Earth. Of course, their multifarious and nefarious agenda goes way beyond control. Which is why this urgent message to humanity must be heard sooner than later. For, truly, the fate of humankind now hangs in the balance, as does the viability of the biosphere and future of the planet. At a time when the world is threatened daily by such things as nuclear war or World War III, an asteroid impact or large meteor strike, another Chernobyl or Fukushima nuclear disaster, a 12.o earthquake or supervolcano eruption, a 5.0 mega-hurricane or super-tornado, a 9/11 level terror event or megalopolis environmental catastrophe, none of these looming possibilities even comes close to pervasive and profound destruction to human civilization that comes with out-of-control AS. Only a surprise visitation by Hercolubus would compare. (HERCOLUBUS: The Greatest Mystery Of The Modern Era)

Conclusion

Perhaps the HAL 9000 supercomputer — the AI star of the Stanley Kubrick classic 2001: A Space Odyssey — is instructive here. Only instead of a stationary horror computer like the well-mannered HAL, imagine an ambulatory Frankenstein hardwired with the latest and greatest autonomous superintelligence.

That’s exactly where this is really going. Their multi-decade super experiment is surely to end in an historic planet-wide catastrophe. Obviously there is no way the mad scientists will be permitted to accomplish their preposterous goals. But that won’t stop them from trying. Or, until something very, VERY big happens to prevent them from doing something really stupid. Like destroying a continent or two… … …or precipitating a full-blown ELE* which AS proliferation is likely to do sooner or later.

*Extinction Level Event

As for the prophetic advice they absolutely refuse to listen to, here’s yet another missive for them to contemplate if even for a moment. By heeding this simple admonition, they just might do us all a big favor by saving the whole human race.

Unbridled scientific research and technological advancement without spirituality
is doomed to fail. All of humanity will suffer terribly for the grave
mistakes of the few who wanted to play God.

Author’s Note

Ever since the false flag terrorist attacks of 9/11, the world community of nations has been witnessing a sheer desperation throughout every sphere of life. Many people routinely experience the same as a felt trepidation or free-floating anxiety. Even prior to the 3rd millennium, it was as if life had entered a time warp for many inhabitants of our global village. With each successive year, time seems to be moving quicker as events unfold with increasingly more intensity. The U.S. presidential election of 2016 dramatizes this point as well as any. It’s as though there has always been an unidentifiable pressure being exerted from way above even the most powerful of earthly institutions. Much of this stress of post-modern life even appears to be coming from an undetectable source. Quite ironically, we are supposed to have more freedom and spare time in the wake of all the time-saving inventions, liberating technologies and newfangled luxuries. What is it, then, that is bearing down so hard on humanity as a whole? Perhaps it time to really understand the role of the:

Editor’s Note

The Cosmic Convergence Research Group was initially established in 2012 to address this urgent matter. The following inaugural essay explained much of what humanity is now experiencing—24/7 (HUGE Changes Coming To Planet Earth). Since that time, the whole world has been pushed inexorably by (and into) an undeniable agenda determined by futile pursuit of human immortality. Cleary, the goal of so much scientific and technological advancement is human immortality for TPTB who want to play god. Unfortunately, by challenging GOD in this way they, have put the entire planetary civilization in great jeopardy. Should the current trajectory of these ill-fated pursuits not change in the immediate future, the destiny of planet Earth will be altered just as the sinking of Atlantis changed the course of human history.
