Stanford University has issued a chilling warning about the impact of artificial intelligence on jobs. The number of job opportunities for young professionals in AI-affected sectors across the United States has dropped by 13% over the past three years.

According to a report from the Stanford Digital Economy Lab, AI is going to reduce the number of jobs available to human beings, and has already done so. Researchers cautioned that smart technologies are swiftly reshaping career prospects for entry-level workers, and the future is looking increasingly bleak.

It was amazing to see St. Funogas’ article today (8/22/25) entitled “My Concerns With Artificial Intelligence.” Hopefully my thoughts below will add to his insights! Great minds think alike! 

I deny being a Luddite, but I must confess I’m concerned about the rapidly growing utilization of A.I. in our lives. It’s kind of shocking how many devices are connecting to some A.I. flavor or the other, and I suppose – eventually – just one or two super-A.I.s, directly or indirectly. Smartphones (for all their utility, essentially a government eavesdropping device), home security systems, Alexa, cars, and even computers/laptops are coming pre-wired (as it were) with A.I. “for our convenience”!

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been alarmingly rapid since 2022. Before then, AI was considered little more than a plaything or a novelty.  But now it is transforming businesses, wiping out entire categories of office jobs, and threatening human liberty. The first practical release of the Claude AI code-writing tool just by itself has completely transformed the global software industry. I’m talking about a Buggy Whips level of industry transformation. As a personal illustration, I should mention that my youngest son is now in his third year at a university here in The American Redoubt, studying for a degree in computer science. His prospects for finding a job when he graduates in 2027 have dropped dramatically since his freshman year. I’m now advising him to pursue a career in software design rather than programming. Otherwise, he’ll be another buggy whip maker. [Read More]

Decisions about digital IDs, also called e-IDs, will be made across the board by all countries (193 UN member-states) within short, or have already been made. In some cases, like Switzerland, people will have a choice, they will be able to vote on  the decision, see below.

In other countries, the governments, or those who pull the strings behind their governments, will take the decision without consulting the people.

A digital ID would be your last step to full enslavement – even if it is sold to you as a “benefit,” an “all-in-one” ID, that allows you passage to everything. What it does not say is that this “passage” comes at a high cost of liberty. It is granted only if you comply fully with the conditions of the e-ID and the linked QR code. [Read More]

It appears that at least some of the ultra-intelligent entities that we have been creating are starting to “wake up”, and that has extremely ominous implications for our future.  Right now, we are still in control of the incredibly sophisticated AI systems that we have built, but what happens once we lose control?  Theoretically, self-replicating AI systems could send copies of themselves all over the world through the Internet, and once that happens we will never be able to shut them down.  At that stage, there would be very little that we could do if ultra-intelligent AI entities decided to go to war with humanity.  Perhaps we could try to destroy the Internet and every device that was ever connected to the Internet, but that would also collapse virtually every system that our society depends upon at the same time.  I wish that I was describing the plot to some really bizarre science fiction movie, but I am not.  If we do not get AI under control now, eventually it could try to take control of us.

People are rapidly being phased out from the work force as bots and AI begin the process of fully-automating our global society ahead of Agenda 2030 mandate
