Elon Musk: ‘With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon.’
From The Washington Post
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk warned that AI, Artificial Intelligence could be our biggest existential threat and believes there should be some regulatory oversight at the national and international level, while speaking at the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics department’s Centennial Symposium Friday. (MIT Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics)
Tesla chief executive Elon Musk has warned about artificial intelligence before, tweeting that it could be more dangerous than nuclear weapons. Speaking Friday at the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics department’s Centennial Symposium, Musk called it our biggest existential threat:
"I think we should be very careful
about artificial intelligence. If I
were to guess like what our biggest
existential threat is, it’s probably
that. So we need to be very careful
with the artificial intelligence.
Increasingly scientists think there
should be some regulatory
oversight maybe at the national
and international level, just to
make sure that we don’t do
something very foolish. With
artificial intelligence we are
summoning the demon. In all
those stories where there’s the
guy with the pentagram and the
holy water, it’s like yeah he’s
sure he can control the demon.
(But it) Didn’t work out."
Musk was so caught up on artificial intelligence that he missed the audience’s next question. “Sorry can you repeat the question, I was just sort of thinking about the AI thing for a second,” he said.
Musk spoke expansively for over an hour, at one point even asking a MIT student what his favorite sci-fi books were. He left to a standing ovation. You can watch the entire interview here.

My Comment
When I read what Musk said about high tech scientists "summoning the demon", I had to wonder if he knew what he was saying, in a spiritual sense. The word summon has synonyms such as conjure, convoke, invite and call up. The Greek word "demon" or "daimon", in its various forms is translated in the New Testament as "devil". So Musk was simply saying that they may be "inviting the devil" among us by their "creation" of an all powerful, super human, artificial intelligence combination of human tissue and high tech computer technology.

You wouldn't think this could be done, but who would ever have thought they could create exact clones of animals and humans through means other than sperm.
When I first learned of super computers, I had to wonder if this would somehow lead to the fulfillment of the "image of the beast" in the Revelation. At the world bank, in Europe, which is built like the Tower Of Babel, and is in fact called the Tower Of Babel, they are working on a computer program which is so immense and all inclusive it is being called a digital Tower Of Babel. Whether this program can also become the "image of the beast" or not, time will tell. At any rate, here are some of the verses in The Revelation which seem compatible with "summoning the demon".
Revelation 13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon (Satan) gave him his power (super human Power), and his seat (world renowned Position), and great authority (Political authority). This beast is the figurehead of Satan incorporated in a political system and represented by one of its "heads" (rulers).
Revelation 13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. (The beast healed of terminal type wound).
Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon (Satan) which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? (This beast's survival appears to be all powerful and irresistible).
Revelation 13:11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. (This beast takes to himself the appearance of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, but is a diabolical impostor, Antichrist)
Revelation 13:12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast (The figurehead first ruler of the system), whose deadly wound was healed.
Revelation 13:14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
I believe this "image of the beast" is a futuristic, super high tech computer and program which will contain every name and information of every person on earth in conjunction with all of the world's vital information, facts of international civics, military, medical, science, media, human necessities, distribution and world analysis which can answer every question, every problem and control any resistance. This "system" may be programed within the form of a robot, part human, part machine and contain the plot, plan, preferences and politics of the Antichrist.
Revelation 13:15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. (This is a key verse in understanding who or what the "image of the beast" is. At no time in history, since the beginning of time has this been possible. It is now happening).
Revelation 13:17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Revelation 13:18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. (This will become obvious at some point in the future. There is no way, as yet, that this person can be identified.)
Revelation 14:9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God,
Revelation 14:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
Revelation 15:2 And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.
Harvard creates cyborg flesh
that’s half man, half machine
- From Extreme Tech By Sebastian Anthony on August 29, 2012
These cyborg tissues are half living cells, half electronics.
As far as the cells are concerned, they’re just normal cells
that behave normally — but the electronic side actually acts
as a sensor network, allowing a computer to interface directly
with the cells. In the case of cyborg heart tissue, the resear-
chers have already used the embedded nanowires to measure
the contractions (heart rate) of the cells.
To create cyborg flesh, you start with a three-dimensional
scaffold that encourages cells to grow around them. These
scaffolds are generally made of collagen, which makes up the
connective tissue in almost every animal. The Harvard
engineers basically took normal collagen, and wove nanowires
and transistors into the matrix to create nanoelectric scaffolds
(nanoES). The neurons, heart cells, muscle, and blood vessels
were then grown as normal, creating cyborg tissue with a built-in
sensor network.
So far the Havard team has mostly grown rat tissues, but they scaffold that encourages cells to grow around them. These

have also succeeded in growing a 1.5-centimeter (0.6in) cyborg
human blood vessel. They’ve also only used the nanoelectric
scaffolds to read data from the cells — but according to lead
researcherCharles Lieber, the next step is to find a way of
talking to the individual cells, to “wire up tissue and communicate
with it in the same way a biological system does.”

Connecting Engineering Science
with Medical Science
Tissue engineering and nScrypt's Computer Aided Biology/
Computer Aided Machining (CAB/CAM) technology are the
result of connecting the engineering sciences with medical
science. With the natural extension of the CAB/CAM
technology, biocompatible, engineered whole organs will
be realizable in years and not decades. CAB/CAM will
permit developing curative medical treatments and
biological constructs — engineered neo-organs that can
be used to detect, prevent, and cure diseases.

Regenerative medicine is the new frontier, unlocking
the code of how the body repairs itself. Tissues within
the body are complex structures of multiple cell types
and extracellular matrix (ECM) within a dynamic three-
dimensional microenvironment. The specific architecture
of the cells and matrix within a tissue is important in
directing numerous biological functions, such as tissue
development, organ formation, wound healing, and
homeostasis. We imagine being able to lay down cells
and matrix in a defined three-dimensional architecture,
triggering a response to repair a diseased kidney or a
failing heart in the same way that this would happen in
natural biological systems.
This Neuroscientist Is Trying to
Upload His Entire Brain to a
Computer
by Georgia Rose
Humans, if you hadn't already noticed, have stopped
our species is the first—by our free will—to remove itself
from the process of natural selection, therefore stunting
Elon Musk's theories that robots will supersede human
intelligence and become our biggest existential threat,
paints a pretty bleak vision of the future.
Neuroscientist Randal Koene has the answer. Instead
of allowing robots to become our cold, lifeless overlords,
why don't we just become partially robotic ourselves?
Koene is currently working on whole brain emulation,
the process of being able to upload our minds to a
computer. By mapping the brain, figuring out its
mechanisms and replicating this activity in code,
humans could—theoretically—live on indefinitely.
