AI Company Plays Wack-A-Mole To Keep Chinese Propagandists From Using ChatGPT To Sow Division In American Politics
'Embody Xi Jinping's teachings'
The AI Epidemic On College Campuses Exposes How Broken Our Higher Education System Is
Our education system is ripe for root-and-stem reform.
AI is coming for your job, your voice ... and your worldview
Suddenly, artificial intelligence is everywhere — generating art, writing essays, analyzing medical data. It’s flooding newsfeeds, powering apps, and slipping into everyday life. And yet, despite all the buzz, far too many Americans — especially conservatives — still treat AI like a novelty, a passing tech fad, or a toy for Silicon Valley elites.
Treating AI like the latest pet rock tech trend is not only naïve — it’s dangerous.
The AI shift is happening now, and it’s coming for white-collar jobs that once seemed untouchable.
AI isn’t just another innovation like email, smartphones, or social media. It has the potential to restructure society itself — including how we work, what we believe, and even who gets to speak — and it’s doing it at a speed we’ve never seen before.
The stakes are enormous. The pace is breakneck. And still, far too many people are asleep at the wheel.
AI isn’t just ‘another tool’
We’ve heard it a hundred times: “Every generation freaks out about new technology.” The Luddites smashed looms. People said cars would ruin cities. Parents panicked over television and video games. These remarks are intended to dismiss genuine concerns of emerging technology as irrational fears.
But AI is not just a faster loom or a fancier phone — it’s something entirely different. It’s not just doing tasks faster; it’s replacing the need for human thought in critical areas. AI systems can now write news articles, craft legal briefs, diagnose medical issues, and generate code — simultaneously, at scale, around the clock.
And unlike past tech milestones, AI is advancing at an exponential speed. Just compare ChatGPT’s leap from version 3 to 4 in less than a year — or how DeepSeek and Claude now outperform humans on elite exams. The regulatory, cultural, and ethical guardrails simply can’t keep up. We’re not riding the wave of progress — we’re getting swept underneath it.
AI is shockingly intelligent already
Skeptics like to say AI is just a glorified autocomplete engine — a chatbot guessing the next word in a sentence. But that’s like calling a rocket “just a fuel tank with fire.” It misses the point.
The truth is, modern AI already rivals — and often exceeds — human performance in several specific domains. Systems like OpenAI’s GPT-4, Anthropic's Claude, and Google's Gemini demonstrate IQs that place them well above average human intelligence, according to ongoing tests from organizations like Tracking AI. And these systems improve with every iteration, often learning faster than we can predict or regulate.
Even if AI never becomes “sentient,” it doesn’t have to. Its current form is already capable of replacing jobs, overseeing supply chain logistics, and even shaping culture.
AI will disrupt society — fast
Some compare the unfolding age of AI as just another society-improving invention and innovation: Jobs will be lost, others will be created — and we’ll all adapt. But those previous transformations took decades to unfold. The car took nearly 50 years to become ubiquitous. The internet needed about 25 years to transform communication and commerce. These shifts, though massive, were gradual enough to give society time to adapt and respond.
AI is not affording us that luxury. The AI shift is happening now, and it’s coming for white-collar jobs that once seemed untouchable.
Reports published by the World Economic Forum and Goldman Sachs suggest job disruption to hundreds of millions globally in the next several years. Not factory jobs — rather, knowledge work. AI already edits videos, writes advertising copy, designs graphics, and manages customer service.
This isn’t about horses and buggies. This is about entire industries shedding their human workforces in months, not years. Journalism, education, finance, and law are all in the crosshairs. And if we don’t confront this disruption now, we’ll be left scrambling when the disruption hits our own communities.
AI will become inescapable
You may think AI doesn’t affect you. Maybe you never plan on using it to write emails or generate art. But you won’t stay disconnected from it for long. AI will soon be baked into everything.
Your phone, your bank, your doctor, your child’s education — all will rely on AI. Personal AI assistants will become standard, just like Google Maps and Siri. Policymakers will use AI to draft and analyze legislation. Doctors will use AI to diagnose ailments and prescribe treatment. Teachers will use AI to develop lesson plans (if all these examples aren't happening already). Algorithms will increasingly dictate what media you consume, what news stories you see, even what products you buy.
We went from dial-up to internet dependency in less than 15 years. We’ll be just as dependent on AI in less than half that time. And once that dependency sets in, turning back becomes nearly impossible.
AI will be manipulated
Some still think of AI as a neutral calculator. Just give it the data, and it’ll give you the truth. But AI doesn’t run on math alone — it runs on values, and programmers, corporations, and governments set those values.
Google’s Gemini model was caught rewriting history to fit progressive narratives — generating images of black Nazis and erasing white historical figures in an overcorrection for the sake of “diversity.” China’s DeepSeek AI refuses to acknowledge the Tiananmen Square massacre or the Uyghur genocide, parroting Chinese Communist Party talking points by design.
Imagine AI tools with political bias embedded in your child’s tutor, your news aggregator, or your doctor’s medical assistant. Imagine relying on a system that subtly steers you toward certain beliefs — not by banning ideas but by never letting you see them in the first place.
We’ve seen what happened when environmental social governance and diversity, equity, and inclusion transformed how corporations operated — prioritizing subjective political agendas over the demands of consumers. Now, imagine those same ideological filters hardcoded into the very infrastructure that powers our society of the near future. Our society could become dependent on a system designed to coerce each of us without knowing it’s happening.
Our liberty problem
AI is not just a technological challenge. It’s a cultural, economic, and moral one. It’s about who controls what you see, what you’re allowed to say, and how you live your life. If conservatives don’t get serious about AI now — before it becomes genuinely ubiquitous — we may lose the ability to shape the future at all.
This is not about banning AI or halting progress. It’s about ensuring that as this technology transforms the world, it doesn’t quietly erase our freedom along the way. Conservatives cannot afford to sit back and dismiss these technological developments. We need to be active participants in shaping AI’s ethical and political boundaries, ensuring that liberty, transparency, and individual autonomy are protected at every stage of this transformation.
The stakes are clear. The timeline is short. And the time to make our voices heard is right now.
Your job, your future, your humanity: AI just crossed the line we can never undo
Artificial intelligence isn’t coming. It’s here. The future we once speculated about is no longer science fiction; it’s reality. Every aspect of our lives, from how we work to how we think, is about to change forever. And if you’re not ready for it, you’re already behind. This isn’t just another technological leap. This is the biggest shift humanity has ever faced.
The last call before the singularity
I've been ringing this bell for 30 years. Thirty years warning you about what’s coming. And now, here we are. This isn’t a drill. This isn’t some distant future. It’s happening now. If you don’t understand what’s at stake, you need to wake up, because we have officially crossed the event horizon of artificial intelligence.
If you don’t learn to master it, then you will be at its mercy.
What’s an event horizon? It’s the edge of a black hole — the point where you can’t escape, no matter how hard you try. AI is that black hole. The current is too strong. The waterfall is too close. If you haven’t been paying attention, you need to start right now. Because once we reach artificial super intelligence, there is no turning back.
You’ve heard me talk about this for decades. AI isn’t just a fancy Siri. It isn’t just ChatGPT. We are on the verge of machines that will outthink every human who has ever lived — combined. ASI won’t just process information — it will anticipate, decide, and act faster than any of us can comprehend. It will change everything about our world, about our lives.
And yet the conversation around AI has been wrong. People think the real dangers are coming later — some distant dystopian nightmare. But we are already in it. We’ve passed the point where AI is just a tool. It’s becoming the master. And the people who don’t learn to use it now — who don’t understand it, who don’t prepare for it — are going to be swallowed whole.
I know what some of you are thinking: "Glenn, you’ve spent years warning us about AI, about how dangerous it is. And now you’re telling us to embrace it?" Yes. That’s exactly what I’m saying. Because if you don’t use this tool — if you don’t learn to master it — then you will be at its mercy.
This is not an option any more. This is survival.
How you must prepare — today
I need you to take AI seriously — right now. Not next year, not five years from now. This weekend.
Here’s what I want you to do: Open up one of these AI tools — Grok 3, ChatGPT, anything advanced — and start using it. If you’re a CEO, have it analyze your competitors. If you’re an artist, let it critique your work. If you’re a stay-at-home parent, have it optimize your budget. Ask it questions. Push it to its limits. Learn what it can do, because if you don’t, you will be left behind.
Let me be crystal clear: AI is not your friend. It’s not your partner. It’s not something to trust. AI is a shovel — an extremely powerful shovel, but still just a tool. And if you don’t understand that, you’re in trouble.
We’ve already seen what happens when we surrender to technology without thinking. Social media rewired our brains. Smartphones reshaped our culture. AI will do all that — and more. If you don’t take control now, AI will control you.
Ask yourself: When AI makes decisions for you, when it anticipates your needs before you even know them, at what point do you stop being the one in charge? At what point does AI stop being a tool and start being your master?
And that’s not even the worst of it. The next step — transhumanism — is coming. It will start with good intentions. Elon Musk is already developing implants to help people walk again. And that’s great. But where does it stop? What happens when people start “upgrading” themselves? What happens when people choose to merge with AI?
I know my answer. I won’t cross that line. But you’re going to have to decide for yourself. And if you don’t start preparing now, that decision will be made for you.
The final warning: Act now or be left behind
I need you to hear me. This is not optional. This is not something you can ignore. AI is here. And if you don’t act now, you will be lost.
The next 18 months will change everything. People who don’t prepare — who don’t learn to use AI — will be scrambling to catch up. And they won’t catch up. The gap will be too wide. You’ll either be leading or you’ll be swallowed whole.
So start this weekend. Learn it. Test it. Push it. Master it. Because the people who don’t? They will be the tools.
The decision is yours. But time is running out.
The coming AI economy and the collapse of traditional jobs
Think back to past technological revolutions. The Industrial Revolution put countless blacksmiths, carriage makers, and farmhands out of business. The internet wiped out entire industries, from travel agencies to brick-and-mortar retail. AI is bigger than all of those combined. This isn’t just about job automation — it’s about job obliteration.
Doctors, lawyers, engineers — people who thought their jobs were untouchable — will find themselves replaced by AI. A machine that can diagnose disease with greater accuracy, draft legal documents in seconds, or design infrastructure faster than an entire team of engineers will be cheaper, faster, and better than human labor. If you’re not preparing for that reality, you’re already falling behind.
What does this mean for you? It means constant adaptation. Every three to five years, you will need to redefine your role, retrain, and retool. The only people who survive this AI revolution will be the ones who understand its capabilities and learn to work with it, not against it.
The moral dilemma: When do you stop being human?
The real danger of AI isn’t just economic; it’s existential. When AI merges with humans, we will face an unprecedented question: At what point do we stop being human?
If you implant a neural chip that gives you access to the entire internet in your mind, are you still the same person? If your thoughts are intertwined with AI-generated responses, where do you end and where does AI begin? This is the future we are hurtling toward, and few people are even asking the right questions.
I’m asking them now. And you should be too. Because that line between human and machine is coming fast. You need to decide now where you stand. Because once we cross it, there is no going back.
Final thoughts: Be a leader, not a follower
AI isn’t a passing trend. It’s not a gadget or a convenience. It is the most powerful force humanity has ever created. And if you don’t take the time to understand it now, you will be at its mercy.
This is the defining moment of our time. Will you be a master of AI? Or will you be mastered by it? The choice is yours. But if you wait too long, you won’t have a choice at all.

The quantum AI revolution is here — and we’re not ready
On Wednesday, Microsoft quietly announced a breakthrough that could change the world forever. No fanfare, no flashing sirens — just a casual revelation that it's unlocked an entirely new state of matter. This isn’t science fiction. This is real. And if you thought the pace of technological change was overwhelming before, buckle up, because everything changed yesterday.
In science class, we are taught there are three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Microsoft has allegedly developed a new class of matter, called “topological conductors,” that form the foundation of a new kind of quantum computing. The tech world has been chasing this for decades, and now, after nearly 20 years of research and billions of dollars, Microsoft has found the key.
This breakthrough isn’t just another incremental tech update — it’s a paradigm shift — and shifts like this don’t come without consequences.
Computing power is about to explode beyond anything we’ve ever imagined. Right now, we process information linearly — one step at a time. However, with quantum computing, an infinite number of calculations can be solved simultaneously. If today’s best supercomputers are like an Olympic sprinter, quantum computers are like teleportation — and we’re on the verge of plugging artificial intelligence into that system.
Has AI already surpassed human intelligence?
This week, Elon Musk’s AI system, Grok, released its latest update, and it’s already surpassing ChatGPT. I asked Grok how fast it learns new information, and it told me that in just 12 hours, it gains the equivalent of five to 10 years of human intellectual development. Imagine what happens when AI of this capacity is connected to quantum computing. The AI itself estimated that instead of advancing five to 10 years in 12 hours, it would leap 50 to 100 years in intellectual growth. Let that sink in.
We are looking at intelligence that will be unimaginably superior to the smartest human beings on the planet, accelerating at a pace beyond comprehension. It won’t be a matter of decades before AI outpaces human intelligence — but days — and we’ve just given it the keys to quantum power.
This is an event horizon, the moment after which nothing will ever be the same.
Are you prepared for this?
Tech elites, corporations, and governments are sprinting toward artificial superintelligence without a single serious conversation about what happens next. We already see AI systems manipulating public perception, influencing politics, and transforming industries. But what happens when an intelligence 1,000 times greater than any human starts making decisions for us? What happens when it controls entire economies, military systems, and information networks?
Microsoft’s announcement should have been headline news. Instead, it was a tweet, a YouTube video, a whisper in the background of the cultural noise. But this breakthrough isn’t just another incremental tech update, it’s a paradigm shift — and shifts like this don’t come without consequences.
We stand at the precipice of a new world. Quantum-powered AI will redefine everything — from the way we work, to the way we think, to the very fabric of reality as we understand it. This isn’t just an upgrade. This is the rewriting of the human experience.

‘The Terminator’ creator warns: AI reality is scarier than sci-fi
In 1984, director James Cameron introduced a chilling vision of artificial intelligence in “The Terminator.” The film’s self-aware AI, Skynet, launched nuclear war against humanity, depicting a future where machines outpaced human control. At the time, the idea of AI wiping out civilization seemed like pure science fiction.
Now, Cameron warns that reality may be even more alarming than his fictional nightmare. And this time, it’s not just speculation — he insists, “It’s happening.”
Cameron is right to sound the alarm. AI is no longer a theoretical risk — it is here, evolving rapidly, and integrating into every facet of society.
As AI technology advances at an unprecedented pace, Cameron has remained deeply involved in the conversation. In September 2024, he joined the board of Stability AI, a UK-based artificial intelligence company. From that platform, he has issued a stark warning — not about rogue AI launching missiles, but about something more insidious.
Cameron fears the emergence of an all-encompassing intelligence system embedded within society, one that enables constant surveillance, manipulates public opinion, influences behavior, and operates largely without oversight.
Scarier than the T-1000
Speaking at the Special Competitive Studies Project's AI+Robotics Summit, Cameron argued that today’s AI reality is “a scarier scenario than what I presented in ‘The Terminator’ 40 years ago, if for no other reason than it’s no longer science fiction. It’s happening.”
Cameron isn’t alone in his concerns, but his perspective carries weight. Unlike the military-controlled Skynet from his films, he explains that today’s artificial general intelligence won’t come from a government lab. Instead, it will emerge from corporate AI research — an even more unsettling reality.
“You’ll be living in a world you didn’t agree to, didn’t vote for, and are forced to share with a superintelligent entity that follows the goals of a corporation,” Cameron warned. “This entity will have access to your communications, beliefs, everything you’ve ever said, and the whereabouts of every person in the country through personal data.”
Modern AI doesn’t function in isolation — it thrives on data. Every search, purchase, and click feeds algorithms that refine AI’s ability to predict and influence human behavior. This model, often called “surveillance capitalism,” relies on collecting vast amounts of personal data to optimize user engagement. The more an AI system knows — preferences, habits, political views, even emotions — the better it can tailor content, ads, and services to keep users engaged.
Cameron warns that combining surveillance capitalism with unchecked AI development is a dangerous mix. “Surveillance capitalism can toggle pretty quickly into digital totalitarianism,” he said.
What happens when a handful of private corporations control the world’s most powerful AI with no obligation to serve the public interest? At best, these tech giants become the self-appointed arbiters of human good, which is the fox guarding the hen house.
New, powerful, and hooked into everything
Cameron’s assessment is not an exaggeration — it’s an observation of where AI is headed. The latest advancements in AI are moving at a pace that even industry leaders find distressing. The technological leap from ChatGPT-3 to ChatGPT-4 was massive. Now, frontier models like DeepSeek, trained with ideological constraints, show AI can be manipulated to serve political or corporate interests.
Beyond large language models, AI is rapidly integrating into critical sectors, including policing, finance, medicine, military strategy, and policymaking. It’s no longer a futuristic concept — it’s already reshaping the systems that govern daily life. Banks now use AI to determine creditworthiness, law enforcement relies on predictive algorithms to assess crime risk, and hospitals deploy machine learning to guide treatment decisions.
These technologies are becoming deeply embedded in society, often with little transparency or oversight. Who writes the algorithms? What biases are built into them? And who holds these systems accountable when they fail?
AI experts like Geoffrey Hinton, one of its pioneers, along with Elon Musk and OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever, have warned that AI’s rapid development could spiral beyond human control. But unlike Cameron’s Terminator dystopia, the real threat isn’t humanoid robots with guns — it’s an AI infrastructure that quietly shapes reality, from financial markets to personal freedoms.
No fate but what we make
During his speech, Cameron argued that AI development must follow strict ethical guidelines and "hard and fast rules."
“How do you control such a consciousness? We embed goals and guardrails aligned with the betterment of humanity,” Cameron suggested. But he also acknowledges a key issue: “Aligned with morality and ethics? But whose morality? Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, Democrat, Republican?” He added that Asimov’s laws could serve as a starting point to ensure AI respects human life.
But Cameron’s argument, while well-intentioned, falls short. AI guardrails must protect individual liberty and cannot be based on subjective morality or the whims of a ruling class. Instead, they should be grounded in objective, constitutional principles — prioritizing individual freedom, free expression, and the right to privacy over corporate or political interests.
If we let tech elites dictate AI’s ethical guidelines, we risk surrendering our freedoms to unaccountable entities. Instead, industry standards must embed constitutional protections into AI design — safeguards that prevent corporations or governments from weaponizing these systems against the people they are meant to serve.
Cameron is right to sound the alarm. AI is no longer a theoretical risk — it is here, evolving rapidly, and integrating into every facet of society. The question is no longer whether AI will reshape the world but who will shape AI.
As Cameron’s films have always reminded us: The future is not set. There is no fate but what we make. If we want AI to serve humanity rather than control it, we must act now — before we wake up in a world where freedom has been quietly coded out of existence.
Trump’s promised ‘golden age’ collides with a tech revolution
President Donald Trump opened his second inaugural address by declaring, “The golden age of America begins right now.” His new term promises a transformational four years. While foreign policy, economic concerns, and political divisiveness will dominate headlines, a quieter yet far-reaching revolution is underway. Massive technological innovation coincides with Trump’s presidency, setting the stage for societal changes that will shape the coming decades. These advancements offer progress but also demand vigilance as the nation navigates their ethical and societal challenges.
By the time Trump leaves office in January 2029, artificial intelligence, automation, self-driving cars, quantum computing, and other emerging technologies will have reached unprecedented levels. Their evolution and impact on society will likely shape the future more profoundly than the political battles of today.
The next few years will hinge on how society embraces innovation while protecting freedoms, privacy, and stability.
OpenAI, Tesla, and IBM are driving technological advancements, investing billions in research and development to turn science fiction into reality. The AI startup sector alone secured more than $100 billion in global investments last year. Companies pursuing quantum computing, including Google and IBM, are racing toward quantum supremacy, aiming for breakthroughs that could transform entire industries. Tesla and Waymo are investing billions in self-driving cars, positioning themselves to revolutionize transportation.
This surge in investment and innovation highlights the transformative power of these technologies. At the same time, it raises concerns about how society will navigate their rapid evolution. As these breakthroughs accelerate during Trump’s presidency, the stakes remain high — not only for harnessing their potential but also for mitigating their risks
The rise of a new decision-maker
Artificial intelligence has advanced rapidly in recent years, evolving from narrow, task-specific algorithms to sophisticated systems capable of natural language understanding, image recognition, and even creative tasks like generating art and music. OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s DeepMind have become household names, demonstrating AI's expanding role in everyday life and business.
By 2029, industry experts expect AI to grow more advanced and deeply integrated into society, influencing everything from health care to legal systems. Breakthroughs in generative AI could enable machines to produce realistic virtual experiences, transforming education, entertainment, and training. AI-driven research is also poised to accelerate discoveries in medicine and climate science, with algorithms identifying solutions beyond human capabilities.
These advancements promise significant benefits. AI could revolutionize medicine by personalizing treatments, reducing errors, and improving access to care. Businesses may see substantial productivity gains, driving economic growth and innovation. Everyday conveniences, from personal assistants to smart infrastructure, could enhance quality of life, relieving people from mundane tasks and fostering greater creativity and leisure.
The rapid integration of AI raises serious concerns. As AI systems collect and analyze vast amounts of data, issues of surveillance, privacy, and consent demand attention. There are automated decision-making risks that could displace workers, worsen economic inequality, and foster new forms of dependency. Misuse — whether through biased algorithms, manipulative propaganda, or authoritarian control — heightens the need for vigilance. Protecting individual liberty and ensuring AI serves society, rather than undermining it, remains crucial.
Redefining the workforce
Advanced robotics and automation are rapidly transforming traditional industries. Robots already handle complex tasks in manufacturing, agriculture, and logistics, but improvements in dexterity and AI-driven decision-making could make them essential across nearly every sector by the decade’s end.
Several companies are racing to develop increasingly advanced robots. Tesla’s Optimus and Agility Robotics’ Digit are humanoid models designed to perform tasks once exclusive to humans. As Agility Robotics strengthens its partnership with Amazon, Elon Musk predicts robots will outnumber people within 20 years.
While automation boosts efficiency and productivity, it also threatens jobs. Millions of workers risk displacement, creating economic and social challenges that demand thoughtful solutions. The Trump administration will likely face mounting pressure to balance innovation with protecting livelihoods.
Who is in the driver’s seat?
Self-driving vehicle technology has long been anticipated, with Elon Musk initially predicting its emergence by 2019. While that timeline proved optimistic, autonomous vehicle technology has advanced significantly in recent years. What began as experimental prototypes has evolved into semi-autonomous systems operating in commercial fleets. By 2029, fully autonomous vehicles could become widespread, transforming transportation, urban planning, and logistics.
Despite these advancements, controversies remain. Questions about safety, liability, and infrastructure lack clear answers. Additionally, concerns about centralized control over transportation systems raise fears of surveillance and government overreach. The Trump administration will play a crucial role in shaping regulations that safeguard freedom while fostering innovation.
A massive computing breakthrough
Quantum computing, once limited to theoretical physics, is rapidly becoming a practical reality. IBM and Google have led advancements in this technology, with Google recently unveiling Willow, a state-of-the-art quantum computer chip. According to Google, Willow completed a complex computation in minutes — one that would have taken the world’s most advanced supercomputers 10 septillion years. That’s more than 700 quintillion times older than the estimated age of our universe.
With the ability to solve problems at speeds unimaginable for classical computers, quantum computing could transform industries like cryptography, drug development, and economic modeling.
This technology also presents serious risks to privacy and security. Quantum computing’s ability to break traditional encryption methods could expose sensitive data worldwide. As the field advances, policymakers must develop strong regulations to protect privacy and ensure fair access to this powerful technology.
Trump’s most enduring legacy?
These technological advancements could drive extraordinary breakthroughs, including drug discoveries, disease cures, and an era of abundance. But they also pose significant risks. Concerns over data collection, job displacement, surveillance, and coercion are not hypothetical — they are real challenges that will require attention during Trump’s term.
The next few years will hinge on how society embraces innovation while protecting freedoms, privacy, and stability. Trump’s role in this technological revolution may not dominate headlines, but it will likely leave the most lasting impact.
