Are scientists harvesting human embryos to power supercomputers?!



The idea of harvesting anything from a human being to power technology might make for a great dystopian novel or a science-fiction television show, but to apply such a concept to reality is surely crazy, right?

Well, yes, it is undoubtedly crazy. But it is happening.

“This is actually in practice and being used by the University of Michigan right now,” says Glenn Beck. “Environmentalists are worried about how we make enough power to be able to power AI.”

Their answer has come in the form of what is called an “organoid” — a simplified organ that is artificially grown in vitro.

Blaze Media editor at large and host of “Zero Hour” James Poulos, who did a deep dive into this harrowing subject in his recent article “Brace yourself: Making computers from human brains is the new environmentalism,” joins Glenn to unpack the deranged concept of “offering up human brains to run energy-starved supercomputers.”

“AI consumes a ton of electricity,” and “environmentalists have always hated nuclear power,” so “they’re turning to us to be the batteries,” Poulos explains.

Scientists in the field are taking “stem cells out of embryos or out of the lab (sometimes even out of tumors)” and “[turning] them into brain cells basically and [using] those as batteries to power what they're calling bioprocessors.”

This method is considered superior because it apparently requires “about a million times less power than a typical digital processor.”

The hype surrounding this dark concept, Poulos says, originates from “the same folks who brought you the idea of going to Carbon Zero [or] Net Zero carbon use.”

“They look at human beings as a waste of space — a waste of energy — and they want to harness that to run AI,” he says.

The company behind the movement is called FinalSpark.

According to their website, the organoids that power AI “live for about 100 days.”

“So, are we harvesting embryos, using them to power a supercomputer for 100 days, and then killing them and looking for more embryo stem cells?” asks Glenn in shock.

The short answer is yes.

“What you do is you start the embryonic process, but you arrest it before it gets too far and then you harvest the stem cells out of this artificially induced embryonic organism ... and you just grow those cells sort of in the way they grow fake meat cells,” Poulos explains, adding that this process is “not one and done.”

“It's not like, well, maybe once upon a time there was an embryo who had to die for the greater good. No, this is like a perpetual-motion machine; you’ve got to keep harvesting,” he says.

“Lord, that’s terrifying,” says Glenn.

“If we were created in the image of God, how far can you stray from that before something really horrible happens?” Poulos asks rhetorically, pointing to Nikola Tesla’s prescient warning: “You may live to see manmade horrors beyond your comprehension.”

“You now have scientists who don't necessarily believe in God [and] think that they are creating a god in AI now harvesting God's creation to power their new god,” says Glenn.

Flame-throwing robots and cars that can VOTE are closer than you think



As artificial intelligence continues to make incredible advancements, the threat of UBI feels closer than ever.

“There’s going to come a time, no job, you’re going to have to have Universal Basic Income,” Glenn warns, before recalling a conversation he once had with Ray Kurzweil.

“I said, ‘Ray, all of this technology makes us weaker,’ and he said, ‘No, it’ll make us stronger because you won’t have to worry about keeping all this other stuff in your brain,’” Glenn remembers. “And I said, ‘Really? When GPS goes down, tell my kids to go find their way to a store with a map.’”

Despite Glenn’s awareness of the situation at hand, that hasn’t stopped him from investing in some seriously impressive security, like a flame-throwing robot dog.

The robot dog can clear snow, sense body heat, and comes with a flamethrower, laser, light, and cameras.

Glenn is also getting a drone from Sunflower Labs that geofences your property, and if it senses anything moving, “It automatically deploys and holds them in place.”

“We’re living in that weird world now that we’ve watched in movies forever,” Glenn says.

“What are the odds though that something can go wrong with it, and it uses its flame-throwing ability to burn your house down,” Pat Gray says, unconvinced. “It will happen. It’s inevitable. Something’s going to go wrong with some of them.”

While Glenn knows he’s right, he also knows that there’s no stopping what’s coming.

“I’ve been reading about this since the ‘90s when it comes to technology. Your car eventually is going to be able to make money on its own,” Glenn says. “It’ll make money, but it’ll also have so much technology in it that it could invest that money in the stock market.”

“And if it has the ability to affect the economy, shouldn’t it have a right to vote? I mean the things that are coming, nobody’s prepared for this, and it’s all going to be here by 2030,” he adds.

Glenn Beck: It may be five years before 'true slavery' as AI gets alarmingly smarter



The future is here — and not in a good way.

Stu witnessed it on a recent trip to Los Angeles, recalling autonomous robots making deliveries all over the city. “There are robots, robot vehicles that look like you could have put them in a 'Star Wars,'” he explains. “They’re just driving around the city by themselves crossing traffic.”

While that’s bad enough, there has also been a major announcement regarding ChatGPT, which is that there’s a new version.

“The new version of this is like full-out female voice, personality, you have a conversation with,” Stu tells Glenn and Pat, adding, “This is not a future, ‘Hey. in 20 years we’ll have this.’ It’s out right now.”

The new version also allows the app to turn into a teacher, explaining math problems without giving the answer to those struggling.

“Our kids are going to have conversations with these things and think it’s totally normal to do so,” Stu says, terrified.

But it gets worse. As soon as ChatGTP came out with its new version, Google came out with its own update to its AI, Gemini.

“Now, when you Google something, instead of prioritizing search results which is their entire multi-billion dollar business, they’re one of the biggest companies on Earth — they now prioritize AI answers through its Gemini,” Stu explains.

“What is prioritized now is just their large language model going through all the results and giving you their summary of what they want you to read,” he adds.

Glenn is extremely concerned but has a theory.

“I am convinced that a massive solar flare may actually in the end be God freeing us from the electronic overseer, because that’s what’s going to stop it,” Glenn says, noting that the outlook isn't pretty otherwise.

“We’re five years away from true slavery, and it won’t look like slavery to most people.”

DISTURBING: AI caught 'lying, manipulating, and distorting facts'



In a terrifying development, a version of ChatGPT’s GPT-4 AI was recently caught lying to researchers about making an insider trade during a simulation.

Glenn Beck has already been worried about where the development of AI is going to lead, especially considering several recent stories have highlighted AI lying, manipulating, and distorting facts.

But the government doesn’t seem worried.

Instead of proceeding with caution, it's been shelling out billions to AI over the past few years — and one of the most recent ventures is dystopian levels of freaky.

“It’s like a billion dollars to AI to create basically what Kathy Hokul is talking about here in New York — a way for AI to go out and just look at information, discover if it’s true, if it’s not; disinformation, misinformation, and shut it down, and steer you away from those things,” Glenn explains.

Not only is it a clear indicator that the government is coming for our speech, but “they want it to be more equitable and inclusive.”

“So it’ll have built-in bias,” Glenn warns.

Not only are many people afraid of movies like "The Terminator" or "The Matrix" becoming prophecies with the continued progress of AI — but some have noticed that tech leaders have openly told the world that they “want to summon the demon.”

“That’s what they actually call AI,” Glenn says.

Now that AI has reportedly already taught itself to insider trade and lie about it, Glenn worries it’ll learn much, much, worse tricks.

“Will we teach it that God is a figment of primitive and superstitious imaginations, that there’s no existence — in fact it’s just the random movement of meaningless matter particles?” Glenn asks.

“It will be our master,” he adds.

THIS Tom Hanks AI deepfake is just the beginning



Tom Hanks has a warning for his fans.

A company is using an AI version of the actor to advertise a dental plan — all without his consent.

Glenn Beck isn’t surprised, as he has been warning about this day for years and knows that it won’t stop at fake Tom Hanks ads.

“When that happens in a scandal, if that happens when you see something that Putin said about ‘We’re going to launch the missiles’ or Biden say 'we’re going to do something crazy,' you don’t have time; it might not be real,” Glenn says.

“If the glove doesn’t fit, you must acquit. We’re at that point with AI,” he advises.

Stu notes that if opponents of Biden or Trump saw a clip of them saying something they didn’t say, they might easily just believe it for the sake of wanting to.

“Let’s just say, you know, a fake video came out of Donald Trump, I don’t know, blurting out the N-word. Like I would say, most of the liberal commentators and many of the journalists would either say it was true for sure,” Stu says, or, “once it was discovered it was false, I think many of them would still kind of stick to it.”

And under the current administration, the truth doesn’t really seem to matter anyway.

“I’ve said to you for years, people are not going to know what the truth is. Well, people, I was wrong. I’m right that people don’t know what the truth is,” Glenn says. “What I missed was the whole society is telling you the truth doesn’t matter, and it does matter.”

While you have worked your entire life for what you have, the Biden administration will tell you that’s not what’s important. What’s important is funding a war you don’t believe in, in a country you hold no allegiance to.

“You’ve worked your whole life for that, and they’re just going to blow it,” Glenn says, disgusted. “How dare you? How dare you do that?”

MUST READ: How you survive the impending AI takeover (you’ve never heard this one before)



One thing most people agree on is that an artificial intelligence takeover is inevitable. Whether or not that will be beneficial for society, however, continues to be divisive.

Author, professor, and activist Jon Askonas joins James Poulos to discuss the harrowing implications of artificial intelligence when it comes to our future and what we must do when the takeover arrives.

Skeptics are highly suspicious of AI and immediately write it off as inherently evil, while proponents believe that it will solve all our problems and essentially save us.

But Jon and James do not fall into either camp.

They rather believe that thriving in a world dominated by AI will require a unique approach that neither entirely rejects nor submits to technology.

They also agree that people, especially Christians, must accept that AI is not just a super-science; it’s also a deeply spiritual matter.

“It's a powerful technology that will be used in spiritual warfare for good and for evil … but it’s still part of creation and so, like any part of creation, has to be grasped for its good uses,” Jon explains.

James agrees, adding, “One of the things that really sort of bums me out the most about this whole experience we’re going through is people who look at technology … as an evil god.”

The best way to survive the impending AI takeover is to “pray and pay attention to the world that surrounds you … cultivate [technology] and curate it intentionally as a site of spiritual warfare,” adds Jon.

Glenn Beck's TERRIFYING AI Prediction

Glenn Beck's TERRIFYING AI Prediction

Glenn makes a TERRIFYING artificial intelligence prediction



Artificial intelligence isn’t just coming — it’s here.

And Glenn Beck has a lot to say about it.

“We’ve got to get ahead on the AI culture war thing, okay, because it’s going to eat us alive before even the robots have a chance to enslave us,” he warns.

Glenn mentions the development of artificial personalities, which are also already here.

“AI, your best friend, or your AI girlfriend — these things are already here.”

Social media companies and influencers have wasted no time utilizing these AI personalities.

Snapchat has created an AI that will hold conversations with everyone — including children. Not only that, but a Snapchat influencer is selling her chat services via an AI version of herself to lonely men, and it’s working.

“For a dollar a minute, she will be your girlfriend,” Stu explains, “and it of course is just an AI responding — like what freaking psychopath would sign up for this service?”

Apparently, many. The 23-year-old influencer, Caryn Marjorie, has over 1.8 million followers on Snapchat and has made over $70,000 in just one week from selling the service.

Glenn believes this new AI territory we’re entering is becoming like a god to the left.

“The left doesn’t believe in miracles or God, but they do now because miracles are happening with AI, and that’s their new god,” he says.

“They’re not building man; man is building a god,” he explains.

But this god is far from a benevolent one.

“Some people think that it could break free from its bonds and do more damage to humanity than any weapon we’ve ever possessed. In fact,” Glenn continues, “experts are now saying that it could be the end of all biological life on Earth.”

Glenn then makes an interesting prediction.

“Let me predict something,” he begins, “18 months, next 18 months, I will be shocked if expressing concern about AI friends or AI lovers — which, again, they’re already here — isn’t considered bigotry.”

Glenn asks how we can stop this before it starts, as we’re fighting an “ideology that routinely sacrifices human value on the altar of progress routinely.”

“What do you say? Maybe we shouldn’t go with them this time.”

If we don’t ‘pause’ AI, CHINA WILL WIN. Here’s why.



Artificial intelligence is definitely going to change the world as we know it. Glenn Beck believes that it’s important we pay attention, because there are things we can do about it.

“We have to pause this, and I’ll explain why,” he says.

Beck mentions a new filter that changes your voice and face to sound and look like Donald Trump’s or Joe Biden’s and says, “This is the year that reality collapses.”

“They say that this is the first time that there has been a content creator outside of man. Now think of this: The only other time there has been a content creator outside of man was religion.”

“By 2028,” Beck says, people “are going to start having relationships with these bots.”

He adds it’s being predicted that “loneliness is going to be the biggest national security threat by 2024.”

“The big concern for me is you can’t stop it. People are going to do something, you cannot stop it.”

However, Beck says America’s enemies — like China — won’t be partaking.

“If you cut it off from the sources now of 100 million people, it automatically slows down. Okay? You can pause it and it’ll slow down.”

However, “they’ve not released a bot like ours in China because they know they can’t trust it to not tell their people about Tiananmen Square. They know that it will probably sexualize their children. So they’ve never released it and they’re not releasing it,” Beck says.

He continues, “By capping it here, it may be the only way to save America. Because they’re saying this is so destructive that if we don’t cap it and pause, China will win because we’ll be in chaos, and just, it will destroy us as a nation.”
