Malevolent Technology
A unique sermon was delivered via artificial intelligence Friday in a Lutheran church in Germany.
A ChatGPT chatbot asked the people in the fully packed St. Paul’s Church in the town of Fuerth to rise from the pews and praise the Lord.
The bot was personified by an avatar of a bearded black man on a huge screen above the altar. It preached to more than 300 people who showed up for the experimental Lutheran church service, generated almost entirely by artificial intelligence.

Read MoreA recent report from the Director of National Intelligence has unveiled that the U.S. government is buying vast quantities of Americans’ personal data generated by our cars, smartphones, and web browsers, mirroring the results of intrusive surveillance techniques and posing significant threats to privacy.
The Wall Street Journal reports that the U.S. government is exploiting commercially available information (CAI) to learn everything it can about private citizens. This data, sourced from cars, phones, and web browsers, has become so extensive that it replicates the results of intrusive surveillance techniques such as wiretaps, cyber espionage, or physical surveillance.

The scale and the importance of the social economy have now been recognised globally through a landmark UN resolution.
The Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship celebrates 25 years of global impact of its community of social change leaders.
The world is facing four major transformations — and they are all occurring at once. They are economic, including the dramatic decarbonisation of industry; technological, due to the merging of the digital and physical worlds and embedding of AI; geopolitical, driven by the shift from a unipolar to multipolar environment; and social, as citizens cope with massive changes and sometimes conflicting values.

She had a sparkling British accent and spoke crisply. Her responses to me were sprinkled with “brilliant” and “lovely.” She told me, “Now that first proof of concept”1 has been established, the next wave of mRNA products is coming down the pipeline with over $50 billion market share this year.2 She is a representative of Hanson Wade, a company producing the 3rd Annual mRNA-Based Therapeutics Summit (“Supercharging the Next Wave of efficacious mRNA Therapeutics & Vaccines). Her job is “curating the audience for the upcoming 3rd mRNA-Based Therapeutics Summit this July.” She was calling me because I requested information about the summit and provided my contact details as requested.

Despite the objections of over 105 groups and thousands of Canadians like you, the Minister of Health and the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food have approved changes to remove regulation from some GM gene-edited foods and seeds. Health Canada announced (May 18, 2022) that it will allow companies to sell some gene-edited foods without any government safety checks and the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food announced (May 3, 2023) that biotech companies can sell some gene-edited seeds without government assessments. Companies can now also sell these genetically engineered (genetically modified or GM) foods without telling the government about them. These regulatory exemptions apply to foods from gene-edited plants that have no foreign DNA (there is no DNA from other species incorporated).

Read MoreGIPPR AI, an implementation of the ChatGPT AI chatbot designed to curtail the original version’s widely documented leftist bias, has been shut down by ChatGPT creator OpenAI.
A project of TUSK, the conservative-created web browser and search engine designed as an alternative to censorship-prone options like Google and DuckDuckGo, was called GIPPR AI — a nod to Republican President Ronald Reagan’s nickname “The Gipper.”
In an announcement on its website, the conservative tech company revealed that they could no longer use ChatGPT to power their chatbot. According to Tusk, OpenAI used the classic Big Tech pretext of “safety” to suspend the service.

Read MoreThe ‘Bloody’ Truth About Lab-Grown Meat
Most cultured meat companies still use fetal bovine serum as the growth medium, which is obtained from unborn calves that are cut out of the womb and drained of their blood while still alive.

Dr. Joseph Mercola
While the fake meat industry is being touted as an environmentally friendly and sustainable way to feed the world, the true intent is to recreate the kind of global control that Monsanto and others achieved through patented GMO seed development.
In the end, lab-created meats are worse for the environment than livestock and will undoubtedly deteriorate human health to boot, just like GMO grains have.
Lab-grown meat is worse for environment than cattle

Read MoreOpenAI chief Sam Altman spoke out Monday against immediate “heavy regulation” that could hamper the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, but stressed the need for long-term institutional oversight.
Altman, whose company created the ChatGPT bot, last month told US lawmakers that governmental regulatory intervention was needed to face the risks of AI.
In remarks at Israel’s Tel Aviv University, Altman on Monday stressed that his call for oversight was not aimed at “the systems of today”.
“I think it would be a mistake to go put heavy regulation on the field right now or to try to slow down the incredible innovation,” he said.
