Whispers of a new terrifying Chinese AI ‘species’ ripple through tech circles



When China rolled out DeepSeek-R1 back in January, it sent shock waves through global markets and triggered a significant sell-off in American stocks, as it performed just as well, if not better, than U.S. models but could be produced at a fraction of the cost.

Now there are rumors of an R2 model that isn’t just smarter than anything we’ve ever seen before; it’s an entirely different kind of artificial intelligence that other leaders in AI development haven’t even fathomed.

“It is a completely different species of intelligence operating on principles nobody in the West has even theorized yet,” says Glenn Beck, reading from a social media post by an anonymous account that goes by the name @iruletheworldmo, who is speculated to be either “an insider in one of the big AI research firms” or “a bot” created to mislead other researchers.

 

“Research gives it questions, and it invents entirely new branches of mathematics to answer them. One physicist showed it a problem he'd been stuck on for 15 years. It solved it in seconds with notations nobody recognized. It took three days for them to translate its solution back into standard mathematics,” Glenn continues reading.

The anonymous source also claimed DeepSeek Labs in China is developing brain-enhancing technology, including two-way neural interfaces “that make Neuralink look like child’s play” and is already at the stage of human trials. The source then warned that while China sees this as a civilization-changing race, the U.S. is lagging behind, treating it like a standard tech competition.

If everything in the post is true and China’s DeepSeek AI has indeed reached such capabilities, we’re in trouble. However, there’s also the possibility that “it's a Chinese bot” stirring up fear.

The fact that we don’t know “is the craziest part,” says Glenn.

Even if the account is lying and DeepSeek AI is nowhere near as advanced as the post indicates, that doesn’t change what’s coming: “AI is going to get so good, it will predict absolutely every move that everybody's going to make,” says Glenn.

Just last week, Mass General Brigham unveiled an AI tool that can apparently assess your health by examining a selfie. Dubbed FaceAge, the system can estimate a person’s biological age, analyze features like skin texture and muscle tone to predict health outcomes, spot signs of cancer, and even predict cancer patients’ survival outcomes.

“How great is that?” asks Glenn, adding, "How terrifying is that?"

Technology's war against the human hand



In the grand arc of human history, there has been an unmistakable shift away from the direct use of our hands.

I don’t think that’s an accident.

The artistry of the written word, once an act of both intellect and muscle memory, has been flattened into an effortless, thoughtless process.

I think it’s the product of a long-standing agenda, one that has unfolded gradually, spanning centuries. The satanic transhumanist movement, led by our technocratic overlords, seeks to sever humanity’s most fundamental connection to the world: the human hand.

A world made by hand

There was a time when human beings relied on their hands for everything. The connection between the mind and the hand was supreme.

We built, farmed, carved, wove, and forged the world around us through direct physical engagement. Our hands weren’t just tools. They were extensions of our intellect, will, and creative spirit.

A sacred cycle

Leonardo da Vinci understood this better than most.

To him, painting was not just an art. It was a science, a direct manifestation of human intellect and soul.

He saw the painter’s process as a sacred cycle: through the eyes, the world enters the mind, and through the hands, the mind translates that knowledge onto canvas. This, for da Vinci, was the highest form of mental discourse, a discipline that fused experience, perspective, and universal knowledge into a tangible reality.

J.G. Vibert's "The Science of Painting" outlines da Vinci's five principles of painting:

  1.  La macchina della visione (the mechanics of vision)
  2. Figurare il corpo umano (representing the human body)
  3. Ombre, lumi e colori (shadows, light, and colors)
  4. La prospettiva aerea (aerial perspective)
  5. La mente universale del pittore (the universal mind of the painter)

These principles highlight how deeply the mind-hand connection is embedded in our capacity for creation.

A broken bridge

For da Vinci, the hand was not merely an instrument but an extension of our divine faculties, a bridge between thought and material reality.

But as time has passed, we’ve seen that bridge get dismantled.

The Enlightenment, while expanding intellectual horizons, emphasized the abstract over the tangible. Knowledge became something to be studied rather than experienced.

Then the Industrial Revolution introduced automation, stripping individuals of the necessity to cultivate their hands as tools of creation. The once-intimate bond between thought and touch was diluted. Machines took over the role of shaping the physical world, and the human hand was relegated to monotonous, mechanical tasks.

Despite this, we still maintained some level of engagement with our hands. Writing, for instance, required the physical act of holding a pen, dipping a quill in ink, and forming letters with intention. This preserved a fragment of the mind-hand link.

Digitless digital

But in our present digital era, even this has been taken from us. Now we just tap glass screens with our thumbs. The artistry of the written word, once an act of both intellect and muscle memory, has been flattened into an effortless, thoughtless process.

And now, we stand on the precipice of the final transformation. The rise of brain-computer interfaces — such as Neuralink or Apple Vision — threatens to sever the mind from the hand entirely. Soon, we won’t even type. We will think and the machine will produce the words for us, bypassing our physical selves completely.

This is the ultimate goal of the transhumanist movement: the destruction of the sacred link between mind, body, and soul. Its proponents seek to remove the hand’s divine role in creation, mediation, and interaction with the material world.

A gift from God

The human hand is a gift from God, an instrument of His glory. It allows us to shape reality, our spirits to interface with the physical world. In many ways, our hands are what allow us to exercise our mediation between God and flesh.

Leonardo da Vinci’s vision of art as the ultimate mental discourse stands in direct opposition to this dystopian trajectory. His philosophy teaches us that creation is not merely an intellectual act — it is an embodied one. The hands must engage with the world for the mind to fully realize its potential. Without them, thought remains inert, unfulfilled, trapped in abstraction.

To take away the use of the hand is to take away one of our last connections to the divine. It is to turn us into passive consumers of experience rather than active participants in creation. It is to weaken our ability to interact with the world in the way God intended.

If we are to resist this transformation, we must reclaim the use of our hands. We must build, write, craft, and create. We must reject the fully automated life and embrace the physical world as something meant to be engaged with, not merely observed.

To keep our connection to God intact, we must keep our hands in motion, not just for the sake of productivity, but for the sake of our humanity itself.

WATCH: Elon Musk addresses people’s biggest fear about Neuralink brain chip



When Elon Musk’s neurotechnology company Neuralink announced that it successfully implanted the first brain chip into a human being in January of this year, the world stood aghast.

Many were in awe of the feat — Dave Rubin being one of them — while others were terrified of the implications of a human brain chip.

One skeptical individual is British rapper and podcaster Zuby, who recently met with Musk to discuss Neuralink’s controversial brain chip.

 Elon Musk Addresses People’s Biggest Fear of Neuralinkyoutu.be

“I'll be honest — of all the things you do and all the companies you run ... the one thing that does concern me, and I know concerns a lot of people out there ... is Neuralink,” the artist said. “Can you explain what Neuralink is and what the goal of it is?”

“We put a chip in your brain to control your mind,” Musk candidly admitted, and while that may be true, there’s a lot more to Neuralink than just mind control.

First, the chip has been in development for years. Musk promises that the company is “not trying to sidestep any regulatory approvals” and that it's “doing everything by the book” and even “going far beyond what the requirements are of the FDA from a safety standpoint.”

Put simply, the chip is designed to “[restore] functionality to people who've lost their connection between their brain and their body.”

Who will benefit from the Neuralink chip?

“Imagine if say Stephen Hawking could talk or communicate as fast as somebody with a fully functioning body,” Musk told Zuby, adding that Neuralink’s “first application is to restore functionality to quadriplegics.”

However, it also has the potential to correct physical blindness.

“The second application would be restoration of eyesight,” Musk said, “so if somebody has gone completely blind, maybe even has lost the optic nerve, you can actually still directly simulate the neurons in the visual part of the cortex, so you can give direct vision to the brain” and possibly even allow someone to “see in different wavelengths.”

When hearing Musk talk about helping people who have thus far been unhealable, Dave can’t help but laugh at the way the left has villainized him.

“Elon Musk — the guy that's helping quadriplegics walk and blind people see and sending us to Mars and saving free speech on Twitter and putting satellite internet up there ... he is the ultimate bad guy?” he asks in shock.

Would you get a Neuralink brain chip?



What would make you get a Neuralink brain-computer interface? Most people respond with an automatic, “Nothing.”

But the assumption is that a brain chip would be unnecessary, a way to level up, to become smarter or stronger.

Here’s what we all suspect: Once everyone agrees to an implant, it’s only a matter of time before chips are getting hacked, commercials are mandatory, and money gets involved.

God forbid, let’s say you’re diagnosed with early-onset dementia. Your mind will deteriorate slowly until your wiring completely abandons you. But what if a brain-computer interface could preserve your memories and cognitive functionality? Or let’s say you’re paralyzed and getting a neural implant could restore any damaged nerves and allow you to move again.

This is the hope that led 30-year-old Noland Arbaugh to become the first human to receive a Neuralink brain-computer interface. A swimming accident damaged his spine, leaving him a quadriplegic. And so far, the technology has made life at least a little easier. The process hasn’t gone entirely smoothly, but the implant has given Noland more freedom of movement. He can also use his mind to play chess and Civilization 6.

Now, a second patient has been greenlit.

Only Homer Simpson would buy the first-generation flying car, right? Not if you’re desperate enough.

Here’s a hypothetical that is murkier than the previous two: What if your child died and you had the chance to download his consciousness and implant it into a brain-dead human? Or into some sort of android, when robotic technology is advanced enough?

For many of us, this isn’t a logical or moral dilemma but a spiritual one. Tackling dementia and paralysis concerns the restoration of a living body. But when death comes into the equation, we are forced to ask, “What about the soul?”

For decades, futurist Ray Kurzweil has balked at the idea that humans have souls that should be left alone, untouched by human hands. Who could have guessed that Kurzweil, like so many other brilliant nerds, would be toppled by Joe Rogan’s Socratic method?

As our own Peter Gietl put it, “Joe Rogan might be the perfect foil for a futurist and woo peddler like Kurzweil. He knows just enough about these subjects to be dangerous but also asks questions with an Everyman logic that is a perfect antidote to cut through the vague science this man spews.”

How can we understand evil within the context of artificial intelligence?

Maybe we shouldn’t be worried about artificial intelligence but rather artificial consciousness. Or, even more harrowing, artificial spirituality.

The boundaries of our social cosmos are already distinctly psychological. Where previous generations were afflicted by vast unknowables, comical ignorance, and inanimate technology, we’re lost in the squall of the digital unconscious, the connected brain, and data centrality — total interconnection by digital means. That’s without any devices implanted.

A brain chip is internal. Social media is external and much less invasive. Yet look at the damage that it has caused, to children specifically, affecting notions of play, body image in pre-teen and teenage girls, and even sexuality and ideas regarding gender.

Elon Musk is calmly but direly urging us to start preparing for a world full of AI that’s smarter than us.

I’m a big fan of Elon and his role in what Jonathan Haidt has described as the “techno-democratic optimism” unique to America in relation to tech. But in this situation, it’s important to remember that the man owns the brain chip company.

We all know that the dignity of any revolutionary medical tech is at the very least vulnerable to abuse. Plastic surgery didn’t begin with breast implants.

Customization is an integral part of our new world. But where is the limit? What about genetic engineering? What about designer babies? These technologies are no longer plot devices in science fiction. It’s going to happen in real life, as people are increasingly willing to medicalize their lives.

Here’s what we all suspect: Once everyone agrees to an implant, it’s only a matter of time before chips are getting hacked, commercials are mandatory, and money gets involved.

We’re already witnessing widespread “de-materialization,” where physical objects are becoming obsolete as the world becomes increasingly digitized.

You see this in the subscription model. You used to own movies. If you didn't, you rented a physical copy. Music used to be owned on physical media too. Now these items are accessed via subscription.

Then there are the political implications. The brain is the source of all human behavior. If someone figured out how to control it, he could manipulate society to his advantage, fiddling with our species’ most dangerous tendencies and habits.

We’ve moved past biopolitics — the elites’ control of our bodies. Now we live in an era of psychopolitics, where elites grip not just the politics, not just the body, but the total of the mind of citizens.

Neuro-technologic reality also changes immediately. No one can keep up any more. The transformation of our habits, thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and actions is hard to prove and even harder to monitor. So why would we hand over our most important possessions — our brains — to a dubious invisible network, the same network that facilitates pornography and BuzzFeed?

The language of online is structured mostly as exclamatory and imperative slogans. Declarative statements often serve as a Trojan Horse of discourse that is actually combat.

It is part of the reason that everything seems so hard to resolve. The pace of life is daunting. We don’t even fully realize it. But we feel it. Things are different and we don’t know why.

Inject a silicon chip into your brain, and there’s no way to know how much it has changed you.

Our cultural illness is neuro-technological. It’s something we signed up for, and it sends constant updates. An automated disease manifested through emotion but guided by some unknown could lead or already has led to neuro-totalitarianism.

Neuralink patient STUNS Joe Rogan with never-before-told experiment details



Noland Arbaugh tragically became a quadriplegic in 2016 — but unlike any other time in history, things might just turn around for him.

That’s because Arbaugh is now one of the first-ever patients to receive one of Elon Musk’s famed Neuralink implants.

“There are what are called attempted movements and imagined movements,” Arbaugh tells Joe Rogan, explaining how the implant works. “At the very beginning, I did a lot of attempted movements.”

“Attempted movement is just what it sounds like. I attempt to move my hand in a certain direction. I attempt to move my fingers, like lift your finger up, down, left, right. I attempt to do something,” he says.

“Then the algorithm will take that and translate it to cursor control. But what I realized maybe a few weeks in was that I could just think 'cursor go here,' and it would move. It blew my mind when it happened for the first time,” Arbaugh continues.

The first time he ever moved the cursor with his mind, he recalls being “giddy the entire day.”

“I could not believe what had just happened,” he beams.

“Is there a hope in the future of utilizing this technology to help people regain movement?” Rogan asks, while Arbaugh responds, “Yeah, that’s one of the plans.”

Arbaugh also tells Rogan that they’re testing more uses for Neuralink on pigs.

“They have been moving the pig’s legs on its own. The pigs not paralyzed or anything, but basically they, like, tell the pig, come to this section of, you know, the like grid off the floor. And they put food in a section of the grid, and they’re like, ‘If you’re okay with us testing on you, pig, come over here,’ basically, and the pig will go in there, and then they will take control of the pig's leg,” he explains.

Video has also circulated of Arbaugh moving a chess piece on a screen with his mind.

“It’s just unimaginable,” Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” comments, thoroughly impressed. “It’s science fiction come to life. It is absolutely incredible.”

Neuralink implant recipient demonstrates amazing tech in action, likens it to 'using the force on a cursor'



Neuralink posted a livestream on X featuring Noland Arbaugh, the first person to use Neuralink's technology that enables control of a computer via thought.

In the video on Wednesday, Arbaugh said that he is 29 years old and noted that he is paralyzed below his shoulders due to a "diving accident" around 8 years ago.

He demonstrated his ability to move the cursor on the computer screen and play chess using the Neuralink technology.

And at the request of the Neuralink engineer who was also on the video, Arbaugh paused music that had been playing.

In an apparent reference to "Star Wars," Arbaugh described the experience of using the technology as "using the force on a cursor."

"It's crazy, it really is," Arbaugh said. "It's so cool."

He noted that he has used the Neuralink technology to play the game Civilization VI. He also noted that he reads and enjoys learning languages and is learning Japanese and some French.

Arbaugh noted that the technology is "not perfect" and there have been "some issues" and that there is still much work to be performed, but the technology "has already changed my life."

He said that he is involved because he wants to help and be part of something he thinks will "change the world."

Back in late January, Elon Musk announced that Neuralink's implant had been placed in a human.

"The surgery was super easy," Arbaugh noted in the video on Wednesday.

He thanked Neuralink for its work.

Elon Musk shared the video, tweeting, "Livestream of @Neuralink demonstrating 'Telepathy' – controlling a computer and playing video games just by thinking."

YOUR THOUGHTS? - Elon Musk's Neuralink Chip IMPLANTED in Man's Brain!

 

Where man meets machine: Elon Musk’s Neuralink was just successfully implanted into someone’s brain



Today, at around 3:45 a.m. EST, a massive cellular outage swept the country, affecting hundreds of thousands of AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Consumer Cellular, Boost Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Straight Talk users.

“They say they don't think this was a cyber attack, but how did all of them go down at the same time?” asks Glenn Beck.

To make matters even more suspicious, yesterday, Israel experienced a cyber attack conducted by Iran, according to Israelis, “and it was an attack on their cell phone services.”

“Quite a coincidence,” says Glenn.

However, something else quite out of the ordinary happened yesterday as well.

A new technology called Neuralink was announced. Designed by Elon Musk, Neuralink is capable of transplanting the “whole internet into your head.”

“It’s the first real merging of man and machine, I think,” says Glenn.

“Elon Musk said Neuralink is active in the first person to have one of the chips implanted in their brain, [and] they have seemingly made a full recovery.” According to the Tesla CEO, this test subject is now capable of “[moving] the mouse around a screen just by thinking.”

Interestingly, Musk has been outspoken about his fears regarding artificial intelligence.

“He believes we cannot compete with AI unless we can merge with it” at least “until we can get off this planet,” says Glenn, adding that Musk also has plans “to have a million people on Mars” by the year 2029.

While the whole notion is a bit “creepy” for Stu Burguiere, he does see some potential benefits to Neuralink.

“If he was able to take people with disabilities and all these these issues that have been unsolvable throughout all of human history and somehow figure out a way, through Neuralink or something similar, to solve that for all these people, it would be the greatest thing he ever accomplished by a long shot,” he tells Glenn.

Elon Musk’s Neuralink Heralds The Beginning Of A Dystopian, Post-Human Future

Trying to merge man with machine will not solve our problems, it will cast us backward into tyranny and pagan slavery.

Elon Musk says a Neuralink implant has been placed in a human



Elon Musk announced that a Neuralink implant been placed in a human.

"The first human received an implant from @Neuralink yesterday and is recovering well. Initial results show promising neuron spike detection," Musk noted in a post on X.

The company is seeking to place an implant in people's brains to enable them to control technology with their thoughts. Neuralink also has longer-term aspirations to eventually "restore capabilities such as vision, motor function, and speech, and eventually expand how we experience the world," according to its website.

"The first @Neuralink product is called Telepathy," Musk explained in another post. "Enables control of your phone or computer, and through them almost any device, just by thinking. Initial users will be those who have lost the use of their limbs. Imagine if Stephen Hawking could communicate faster than a speed typist or auctioneer. That is the goal."

According to information about Neuralink's clinical trial, the technology will be implanted in participants' brains using a surgical robot.

"The PRIME Study – a groundbreaking investigational medical device trial for our fully-implantable, wireless brain-computer interface (BCI) – aims to evaluate the safety of our implant and surgical robot, and assess the initial functionality of our BCI for enabling people with quadriplegia to control external devices with their thoughts," the company states.

In a post last year, Musk said that "in the long term, Neuralink hopes to play a role in AI risk civilizational risk reduction by improving human to AI (and human to human) bandwidth by several orders of magnitude."
