This comes to my mind. In the early 80s, during my grad school days, we were developing AI software to assist in diagnosis of blood born pathogens. Our data inputs were manually entered symptoms. Our AI engine analyzed these symptoms, and based on this analysis, provided suggested diseases and treatments. Today, forty years later, I am still amazed at the new technologies that AI has presented. I can only imagine what the future holds.

@Moses_Young, How are you going to spread the Gospel of Christ, in this world where knowledge is doubling every year?

I agree, except that after you replace those who didn't get the shot why not replace those who did as well? I expect the crisis over people leaving will give them the excuse to roll out robots far and wide, and once that is done, just replace workers. If I can replace one cashier I can replace them all, replace one janitor you can replace them all, replace one orderly you can replace them all, etc., etc.

The goal is to keep world population at 500 million, the other 7 billion are just "useless eaters" in their eyes.

For example we have people flying drones where the drone is in the Middle East while the pilot is in Virginia. Why couldn't they do that with all airplanes? Second, big data teaches AI how to fly with all those remote sessions so that the drones can become autonomous. So the next step is to have one pilot overseeing 4 flights while the drones are flying autonomously and just step in during landing and in an emergency.

The same with cars and trucks and ships.
You do not understand economics at all. 7 billion people means 7 billion potential consumers. Money makes the world go round and trade is the means of moving money. It's no coincidence that buying and selling will one day depend on having the mark of the beast.

There is a tension that results. Bean counters see staff as a cost. The world is pretty much controlled by accountants. Many know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Some of the most successful companies pay their staff well and place a value on what they do, not just a cost.

The world is much less poor than it was 20 years ago. Even the poorest nations can survive as long as they are left alone. War is the greatest enemy of prosperity. Just ask the Sudanese or Yemenis.

I'll go with replace workers who refuse to be vaccinated.
Maybe, but robots don't spend money. It's something that slave based economies discovered. Slaves are a cost to the owners and spend nothing. It's only people with an income that buy what slaves produce. The non slave states in the USA were more economically sound than the South. Obviously it's a little different when the slaves are used as unpaid servants. But they also contribute nothing to the economy. As well as being utterly immoral, it's not sound economics.

Yeah, tell that to the Rothschilds, Ford, Bush, Rockefeller, and other very rich families who owe their fortunes to war.

Tell that to the Germans, Europe generally and Britain. I was born 6 years after VE day. I know what economic damage war does from personal experience. Your remark entirely misses the point.

I have shares in a company that automates pathology tests. So far it has approvals for MRSA and UTI. They are working on others. Yes, it will be interesting to see what else they come up with.

AI, Robotics, and other advances in technology (including things that we haven't dreamed of today) are what the future holds. Should the Lord tarry (a real possibility), and the world continues to exist for another millennium, how do we keep God relevant?
Technology does not solve the problems of society. It won't cure sin. It won't help fill the void that Adam's sin left. The Western world offers a vast number of technological advances. Yet social dysfunction, all kinds of immorality, drug addiction, crime, complaining, bitterness, resentment, finger pointing, blame shifting and all kinds of evils abound.

The real question is how we stop societies imploding. Like we are seeing in the USA. Leaving it up to people will fail - they are the problem. So it is still, "Jesus is the answer, for the world today".

if being against government tyranny is sick, then count me as sick....
Government tyranny is China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, most Muslim nations, Russia and places like that. Australia is not yet in those camps. We can still vote out those we disapprove of.

You seem to have no idea what really went on during the riots. The you tube videos supposedly of the riots were actually different countries. Some people got injured. That's likely to happen when people physically assault the police. Or do you think that total, barbaric anarchy is acceptable? I don't.

You are looking at war from the perspective of the 99%, you are missing the point that it is the 1% who choose war, not the 99%, I am trying to help you see that from their perspective your pain is their gain.

I don't care about the 1%. They can look after themselves. God will judge them for how they use their riches. Jeff Bezos did not start the war in Yemen. Or in Afghanistan. Or Sudan, or Syria.

If you don't care about the 1% how can you possibly understand current events or even the the prophecies concerning the Day of the Lord?
