Gates warned that AI could kill billions of people!

  It's the first time in the history of the world.

A.I.'s bells are ringing!

Bill Gates publicly threw a heavy bomb: Once the latest AI tools have been used, malicious actors are fully capable of triggering "billion deaths" disasters.

The tech optimist, who was once the strongest in the world, has changed radically, shouting that corporate autonomy is bankrupt and that AI must be taken over by the government!

On the same day, on the first day of his visit to France, Pope Leo XIV warned French President Macron that "machine heaven" was insanely eroding humanity's daily life and that humanity would completely lose its humanity if it lost its ethical constraints.

What is the sign of an unprecedented consensus between the scientific community and the religious community?

This is the turning point for AI security issues to jump out of the lab and evolve into an imminent global political and survival crisis.

Musk warned of the dangers of AI, and it may seem like a science fiction exaggeration with some kind of "Iron Man".

But when Bill Gates, who has devoted his life to code and believes that technology can save the world, begins to paint a picture of the end times, everyone has to take a breath of fresh air.

In an interview with NBC News anchor Kristen Welker, Gates made a conclusion that shocked the global tech community: "AI, of course, is already powerful enough to trigger events that have killed a billion people".

The "billion" figure was given by the founders of Microsoft based on a real assessment of the current capabilities of the top big models.

Gates pointed to one of the biggest blind spots of AI development today: we always assume users are good people.

"There's never been a weapon more powerful than a man with a bad heart and the latest AI tools", Gates warned.

Imagine what would happen if a terrorist or extremist group had the latest generation of AI.

Biological risk, cyberbullying, and social disruption can all lead to human catastrophe.

In the past, the development of superviruses required top-notch P4 laboratories and decades of interdisciplinary expertise.

Now, a madman who knows basic biology may be able to get a lethal pathogen gene sequence that bypasses existing vaccines by entering unrestricted instructions from AI.

AI can detect zero-day vulnerabilities in critical global infrastructure (such as power grids, nuclear power stations, financial settlement systems) in seconds and launch automated high-frequency attacks.

Using deep fake techniques to create the perfect video, which could lead to irreversible misjudgments based on false positives.

The Vatican's AI consultant Paolo Benanti's comparison is even more grim:

The power of nuclear weapons lies in their ability to physically destroy humans; and the power of artificial intelligence to manipulate social media content lies in its ability to completely destroy people's coexistence.

When there are no limits to falsehood, when cognition is precisely manipulated by algorithms, when society is divided in four, without the use of nuclear bombs, human civilization will end up in endless internal strife and suspicion.

Gates's "Billion Deaths" is not a word to be heard, but a horror equation based on "The Evil One + Infinite Computing = Infinite Destruction".

On this issue, Gates ruthlessly shrouded the Silicon Valley giants in shame.

For a long time, giants like OpenAI, Google, and Meta have always labeled "we have red team testing", "we have security coordination mechanisms", and "we can regulate ourselves".

"Nobody thinks self-regulation is enough".

He strongly urged law enforcement and the political community to step down immediately to participate in the development of safety nets and monitoring mechanisms, and he used an extremely heavy word: "compulsory".

This meant that existing "moral appeals" and "industry codes" were a waste of paper in the face of huge commercial interests and arms races.

Gates' current attitude is a state of extreme contradiction and extreme vigilance.

On August 26, he posted a long post on his personal blog, Gates Notes, pessimistically saying that according to current trends and speeds, AI is very likely to bring "net negative results".

He directly lists four disasters that are out of control: large-scale unemployment, cybersecurity crashes, the bio-terrorism crisis, and the loss of control of AI itself.

However, less than a month later, on September 14, the Gates Foundation announced that it would invest $1 billion over two years to apply AI to global scenarios such as education, healthcare, and more.

While earning $1 billion for AI to save lives, AI warns that it could kill 1 billion people.

This feeling of tearing is precisely the most real picture of humanity on the eve of ASI, and we know that we hold in our hands the flame of Prometheus, but at the same time understand that the flame, once overturned, is the flame of hell that burns the world.

If Bill Gates saw the destruction of the flesh, then at the other end of the earth what the spiritual leader Pope Leo XIV saw was the collapse of the human soul.

On September 25, the first day of his visit to France, the 14th Yuan fired heavily on AI.

In the French presidential palace of the Élysée, facing Macron, the Pope made a very sharp statement: "The machine paradise" is invading and dominating people's daily lives.

What is "machine paradise"?

It's an algorithm for you to think, for you to make decisions, for you to feel the world you are in. In this paradise, where humanity seems to have gained tremendous benefit, the reality is that the core characteristics of "man" are being replaced by free will and ethical judgment.

The Pope urged that in order not to lose humanity in this technological utopia, what is urgently needed today is not programming education, but "the education of ethical judgement". Once humans get used to allowing AI to judge right and wrong, the moral fabric of human society will collapse instantly.

Then, at UNESCO's headquarters in Paris, the Pope broke a paradox that left all tech practitioners puzzled:

Computing systems are arrogantly referred to as "intelligent", while living people are measured in terms of efficiency and are thrown away like garbage when they are not used.

This is the most painful part of the current wave of AI.

Meanwhile, on September 22, on the podium of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, the President of the United States threw out an appalling decision.

He ordered all official U.S. government documents to abolish the term "AI" and completely change it to "Super Intelligence" (SI).

At one point, everyone was stunned.

The reason given by Trump is very "understanding the king".

He believes that the word "artificial" makes the technology feel "fake", "it's not fake at all, it's actually amazing!"

"But we have to be careful that its real capabilities are the exact opposite of what the word 'artificial' claims".

Did you think he was just talking on stage? Absolutely not.

An internal email received by The Associated Press shows that on the same day as Trump's speech, Michael Drager, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization at the U.S. State Department, has issued a "death order" to all diplomats:

Subject: Changing the name of AI to SI. Based on the President's speech today, please change all references to "AI" to "Super Intelligence" in our documents and positions. In the future, we will all use "SI" in all speeches, positions and news elements.

U.S. Chief Technology Officer Ethan Klein also said, "The President of Super Intelligent SI has spoken! The United States is, and will continue to be, the global leader in the field of SI!"

At the same time as Trump pushes for "superintelligence", the United States is facing an unprecedented rift.

In the dictionary, "superintelligence" represents intelligence beyond humanity. For many employees of leading AI companies, this represents the end of humanity.

Jacob Coxon and others have issued a warning: "AI could become a threat to human survival within a decade, and it could soon destroy humanity!"

In the face of this "end-of-the-day warning", Trump's response was only two words: "fraud".

He dismissed the concerns of these scientists as a dangerous hoax and insisted that as long as the government "controlled the situation" as necessary, it was enough.

Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders and Democratic Representative Greg Casar this week introduced a radical bill that would require a permanent ban on the development of AI beyond human control and a complete suspension of advanced AI development until rigorous testing and supervision is carried out.

"Scientists have made it clear that AI is a threat to human survival!" Sanders exclaimed, "Let's act now before it's too late!"

On the one hand, there are lawmakers and scientists who are calling for the immediate release of the brakes, and on the other hand, there are presidents who are stepping on the oil door to death.

What we are seeing is the enormous frenzy and extreme fear that human society has exhibited as technology progresses to a critical point.

From Gates's "Billion Deaths Warning" to the Pope's "Machine Paradise Pain", it is clear that we are on the brink of separation.

The tech-optimists smiled, and the angel of God sounded the alarm.

We are at the strangest intersection in human history: to the left, the medical breakthroughs of AI, the infinite energy and the starry ocean; to the right, the blackout of genetic weapons, uncontrolled war and civilization.

As the Pope said, when machines are called "intelligent", don't forget the dignity of humanity.

This time, there is really not much time left for humanity to patch.
