Summary
THE AI genie is out of the bottle. The big question now is whether Skynet will be Chinese or American.
We discuss the announcement this week of a half-trillion dollar joint venture between OpenAI, Oracle, and SoftBank called Stargate to build an artificial intelligence infrastructure to make the United States the world’s leader in AI technology. The venture’s name evokes images of “ancient aliens,” thanks to the movie Stargate and its long-running TV spinoff, and the remote viewing experiments run by the Defense Intelligence Agency in the late ’70s. We don’t know whether President Trump is aware of these connections, but someone on his team surely is.
However, China preempted the White House announcement by releasing DeepSeek R1, an AI platform that performs as well as, if not better than, OpenAI’s latest release and is offered to users at 3% of OpenAI’s price. In addition. DeepSeek is open source, meaning users can download it and run it themselves for the cost of the electricity.
In short, the AI demon has been summoned, to quote Elon Musk. Just remember, this is being allowed by the Lord for His reasons, and we Christians need to understand time is growing short.

| 0:39.3 | the things that he's done through the executive orders that he signed, but specifically want to |
| 0:43.4 | focus a bit on the artificial intelligence moonshot, as it were, that he announced Tuesday |
| 0:49.4 | from the Oval Office. But first, an explanation, why no guests this week? I announced back in the fall |
| 0:57.0 | and then really didn't follow up on it that because of time constraints, there will probably be |
| 1:02.3 | more programs like this where it's just me sitting in front of the camera instead of bringing |
| 1:08.3 | in guests, which is something you've come to expect over the last 15 years |
| 1:12.3 | of this program. And it's not intentional. It's not a deliberate shift to shift the programming |
| 1:18.3 | towards a more me focused away from the guests. It's simply that because we've gotten busy |
| 1:23.6 | with a couple of things. Number one, we're producing several other programs per week. |
