AI Can Replicate Itself—Experts Terrified

 Will AI eventually outsmart humans and cause all sorts of problems that used to be Hollywood science fiction?  We are betting on it.  Many prophecy watchers are quite sure that AI is going to be a major tool used in the Great Tribulation.  Tracking all people in the world, setting up a global financial system and reporting to the Antichrist who hasn’t taken the mark.

Remember friends, WE are the first generation to have the technology to complete the events of Revelation.

Scientists say artificial intelligence (AI) has crossed a critical "red line" and has replicated itself. In a new study, researchers from China showed that two popular large language models (LLMs) could clone themselves.

"Successful self-replication under no human assistance is the essential step for AI to outsmart [humans], and is an early signal for rogue AIs," the researchers wrote in the study, published Dec. 9, 2024 to the preprint database arXiv.

In the study, researchers from Fudan University used LLMs from Meta and Alibaba to determine whether a self-replicating AI could multiply beyond control. Across 10 trials, the two AI models created separate and functioning replicas of themselves in 50% and 90% of cases, respectively — suggesting AI may already have the capacity to go rogue. However, the study has not yet been peer-reviewed, so it's not clear if the disturbing results can be replicated by other researchers.
