Geoffrey Hinton, a Google engineer widely considered the godfather of artificial intelligence, has quit his job and is now warning of the dangers of further AI development. Hinton worked at Google for more than a decade and is responsible for a 2012 tech breakthrough that serves as the foundation of current AIs like ChatGPT. He announced his resignation from Google in a statement to the New York Times, saying he now regrets his work.

“I console myself with the normal excuse: If I hadn’t done it, somebody else would have,” he told the paper.

“It is hard to see how you can prevent the bad actors from using it for bad things,” Hinton went on to say of AI.

Hinton’s major AI breakthrough came when working with two graduate students in Toronto in 2012. The trio was able to successfully create an algorithm that could analyze photos and identify common elements, such as dogs and cars, according to the NYT. The algorithm was a rudimentary beginning to what current AIs like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard AI are capable of. Google purchased the company Hinton started around the algorithm for $44 million shortly after the breakthrough.

One of the graduate students who worked on the project with Hinton, Ilya Sutskever, now works as OpenAI’s chief scientist. Hinton said the progression seen since 2012 is astonishing but is likely just the tip of the iceberg.

“Look at how it was five years ago and how it is now,” he said of the industry. “Take the difference and propagate it forwards. That’s scary.”

Hinton’s fears echo those expressed by more than 1,000 tech leaders earlier this year in a public letter that called for a brief halt to AI development. Hinton did not sign the letter at the time, and he now says that he did not want to criticize Google while he was with the company. Hinton has since ended his employment there and had a phone call with Google CEO Sundar Pichai on Thursday.

“We remain committed to a responsible approach to AI. We’re continually learning to understand emerging risks while also innovating boldly,” Google’s chief scientist, Jeff Dean, told the Times.

The New Terrorism

Imperial Islamic President ObamaWhen we think of terrorism threats here in the United States, we automatically think back to 9/11. We picture sophisticated, trained, well financed cells of middle eastern extremists operating here amongst us. Well, times have changed. Groups like that are just too easy to catch, a bunch of pajama boy analysts sitting on computers could track and identify these groups easy enough. No, these groups are no longer much of a problem.

Our new problem is the individuals and small groups. They may or may not have affiliations with groups like ISIS, but they like what they have to say. They’re not all middle eastern militants who would be easy to recognize. A great many blacks switch to Islam when they’re sentenced to prison. They’re all already criminals, they have anti-social tendencies. They hate the government and anything to do with authority. They feel that all of their problems are due to white America. When they get out, they attend mosques or become affiliated with groups like the New Black Panther party who continue to feed their discontent. All it takes is the right incident to set them off.

Would you recognize someone like that if you ran across them today? Probably not.

They’re not the only ones, look at the Boston bombers, no one thought of them as terrorists until it was too late.

Look at the Bergdahl family. I don’t know about you, but I think the whole bunch of ‘em is an incident just waiting to happen. It’ll be interesting to see what’ll happen when that Dad gets his kid back home. They just flat give me the creeps.

On top of all that, our southern border is still wide open, we have no idea who or what is flowing in. Sure we can track those who use their passports and come and go on commercial flights easy enough, we can keep an eye on them, they really aren’t a problem. It’s the ones we don’t know about who are dangerous.

So, we’ll now be seeing more single attacks and yes, they are terrorist acts, not workplace violence. We’ll see the occasional car bomb or IED. We’ll see many attempts to disrupt transportation, that’s the easiest way to disrupt a society. We’ll see fires and explosions at airports, train stations, bus terminals, subways, bridges…anything to disrupt us.

Every one of the people I described will be a possible danger, anyone who feels they have an axe to grind, anyone who has a problem with authority in any form.  You’ll never know who they are, you may be sitting next to one of them at work, there may be one sitting behind you at the movie theatre or next to your kid at school. We’ll have no way of knowing when and where the next attack is coming from.

If you think you’re living in a safe area, let me just share this with you…being the old investigator I am, I tend to dig deep into issues. I live in rural GA and have discovered a Mosque in little Rome, GA. A Mosque that’s actively recruiting local jihadists.

I also discovered that the Sheriffs Department here in Bartow County has a Muslim deputy and I decided to do a little checking up on him. It wasn’t hard, we just looked him up on facebook and saw what sites he was actively participating in. Sure enough, he was active on three Muslim jihadist sites, and this is a law enforcement officer we’re talking about.fantastic

So if I can find all this out, where’s our Government protection? Where’s our law enforcement? Things have changed a lot in that aspect as well since my day, keep in mind there are currently over 1000 officers looking for one loser in the woods of PA and they have been for almost three weeks now. Do you really think they’re capable of keeping us safe?

Agents are leaving the DHS in wholesale numbers. Why is that? I don’t know for sure, but I do have an old “friend” who tells me they’re not happy with what they’re being ordered to do and what’s coming after the mid-terms are over. He says that this is not what they signed up for. As a result, they’re going to work for private contractors, the pay is better and they don’t have to compromise their principles.

The bottom line is, there is no one you can trust to protect you other than yourself.

I know I will never go unarmed anywhere, anytime again. If there’s a business that doesn’t allow me to carry, I just won’t go there. I even take a weapon to the mailbox every day.

For you anti-gun people out there, you may want to make friends with and stay close to someone who can look out for you because you’re not going to be able to do it yourself.

Well, that’s all on this subject for today, I’m sure that I’ll be writing more on it in the future as things develop.

MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP US ALL!

In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: ‘Who lost Europe?’


GeertGeert  Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament.

Here  is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem.

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.  I come to America with a mission.  All is not well in the old world.

There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.

We might be in the final  stages of the Islamization of Europe.  This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West.  The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe.  Then, I will say a few  things about Islam.  To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks.  But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world.   It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen.  And if they are, they might regret it.  This goes for the police as well.  It’s the  world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead.  With mosques on many street corners.  The shops have signs you and I cannot read.  You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity.  These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics.  These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe.  These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe.  With larger congregations than there are in churches.  And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region.  Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are  already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden.  In many cities the majority of the under-18  population is Muslim.  Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods.  Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary  schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult  to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils.  In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims.  Non-Muslim women routinely hear ‘whore, whore’.  Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France, school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to  Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin.  The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system.  Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves.  Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II.  French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel.  I could go on forever with stories like this.  Stories about  Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe.  San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim  just 12 years from now.  Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers.  And the numbers would not be threatening if the  Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate.  But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France.  One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks.  The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate.  Muslims demand what they call ‘respect’.  And  this is how we give them respect.  We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority.  We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots.  Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators ‘settlers’.  Because that is what they are.  They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam.  Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries.  Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the  prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized.  Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem.  But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages – at the same time.  Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered, and even had prisoners of war executed.  Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza.  If it is good for Islam, it is  good.  If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion.  Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins.  But in its essence Islam is a political ideology.  It  is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person.  Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life.  Islam  means ‘submission’.  Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia.  If you want to  compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam ‘the most retrograde force in the world’, and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran.  The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor.  I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times.  I support Israel.  First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam’s territorial  advance.  Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia.  Israel is simply in the way.  The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel.  It is a war against the West.  It is  jihad.  Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us.  If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest.  Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities.  But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West.  It would not  mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values.  On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam.  They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed.  The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning.  It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination.  If they can get Israel, they can get everything.  So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a ‘right-wing extremists’ or ‘racists’.  In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II.  And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat.  Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing.  The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine.  An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America – as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs.  With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem …

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts.  My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives.  All throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish.  My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians.  We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe’s children in the same state in which it was offered to us.  We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams.  Future generations would never forgive us.  We cannot squander our liberties.  We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know!
