Sam Altman: Artificial Intelligence, the Bilderberg Group, and Worldcoin
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently testified in front of a U.S. Senate Judiciary subcommittee regarding the recent rise of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.).
In addition to OpenAI’s ChatGPT experiencing a surge in popularity, A.I. generated art and even A.I. generated photography winning prizes make it clear that the age of A.I. disruption has begun. The so-called Godfather of A.I. recently quit Google because he wanted to speak openly about the dangers posed by A.I. generated deep fakes.
In his prepared statements, Altman told the senators “the regulation of A.I. is essential.” Altman also called for what he termed “appropriate safety requirements, including internal and external testing prior to release”. He also expressed support for licensing and registration of certain A.I. systems.
Altman stopped short of calling for complete government regulation, instead stating that governance schemes must be “flexible enough to adapt to new technological developments” while balancing “incentivizing safety while ensuring that people are able to access the technology’s benefits.”
Fortune writes that “Altman’s advocacy for some rules is not surprising. Technology companies know that regulation is likely coming, and they are trying their best to shape it to their advantage”.
The argument is that Altman and other CEO’s of A.I. companies may decide licensing allows them to protect the code to their proprietary models. Also, Big A.I. may fear the rise of open source A.I. models and thus call for licensing schemes which place extra burdens on creators of open source software.
Fortune continues:
“Among the biggest competitive threats these companies face is open source A.I. software. In this rapidly moving field, no one is moving faster than the open source community. It has proved remarkably innovative and agile at matching the performance and capabilities of the proprietary models, but doing so with A.I. models that are much smaller, easier and less expensive to train, and which can be downloaded for free.”
Regardless of the reason, Altman has joined the growing chorus of A.I. advocates who are calling for regulation or licensing of A.I. The CEO’s concerns have also led to politicians and policymakers warning about the dangers of not regulating the technology. CNBC reported that during the Senate hearing on A.I. Senator Josh Hawley compared the emerging technology to the creation of the printing press and the nuclear bomb. Hawley stated that this may lead humanity to two potential futures: one which A.I. empowers humanity, or one with a “huge technological breakthrough” but “severe, terrible” consequences.
The Bilderberg Group in Portugal
Only days after testifying in front of the U.S. Senate, Sam Altman participated in the secretive Bilderberg Group meeting in Lisbon, Portugal. In the weeks and days leading up to the meeting there was not a single report from the mainstream corporate press, with only a handful of independent journalists reporting on the meeting, including Dan Dicks of Press for Truth.
Altman was joined by fellow A.I. proponents and CEO’s, including Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, Deepmind’s Demis Hassabis, and former Google CEO and current chair of the Bilderberg Group Eric Schmidt.
As The Last American Vagabond reported in February 2021, the Biden Administration assigned Schmidt to head the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence (NSCAI), or the A.I. Commission. According to a December 2022 report from Politico, Schmidt was funding the salaries of more than 2 dozens employees in the Biden administration. Since at least March 2022 Politico has outlined how Schmidt’s fingerprints were all over the Biden administration. Schmidt’s role as the former CEO of Google, a member of the Bilderberg Group, his role in the Biden admin, and his relationship with former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger are more than enough reasons to be concerned with the direction the A.I. conversation is headed.
In fact, Kissinger, a long-time adviser to U.S. Presidents, was also present at the Bilderberg group. Kissinger has been attending the Bilderberg meeting off and on since its founding in 1957. Kissinger has said that his interest in A.I. came after Schmidt persuaded him to attend a lecture on the topic while at the Bilderberg conference in 2016. The two men also co-authored a book in 2021 titled The Age of AI: And Our Human Future.
Sam Altman and fellow A.I. CEO’s were also joined by NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla, BP chief Bernard Looney,
Børge Brende, the President of the World Economic Forum, and co-founder of PayPal and Palantir Peter Thiel. Thiel has come under attack in recent days because of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Due to the lack of transparency surrounding the Bilderberg Group, details surrounding Altman’s involvement in the meeting have not been made public. However, based on the history of the Bilderberg Group shaping important world events, and even likely granting their approval of future political leaders, one can surmise that Altman’s attendance will bode well for his career and the continued rise of OpenAI.
While Sam Altman’s attendance at Bilderberg in Portugal may have something to do with his role at OpenAI, it’s also highly likely that his latest tech project is an even more relevant reason for his appearance.
Worldcoin
Sam Altman and fellow technocrat Elon Musk have a history of collaboration at OpenAI, as well as warning about the potential dangers related to the rapid rise in use of the technology. However, despite warnings, both men continue to fund projects which have the potential to contribute to the rise of the Technocratic State, with A.I. powering biometric digital identities, digital currencies, and the Internet of Things/Bodies.
For example, one day before Altman testified to Congress, the Financial Times reported that Altman was “close to securing around $100mn in funding for his plan to use iris-scanning technology to create a secure global cryptocurrency called Worldcoin”. The Times said three people with knowledge of the deal claimed the team behind Worldcoin is in “advanced talks” to raise the funds in the “next few weeks”.
The source told the Times that the funding is coming from existing and new investors. Previously reported investors in the project includes FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and internet entrepreneur Reid Hoffman.
Altman has promoted the project as a way to prepare for the disruption A.I. is anticipated to cause to a number of industries. Worldcoin executives has stated that their work is focused on helping distinguish between humans and bots by providing a unique ID and providing a universal basic income to offset job losses caused by A.I.
Altman and team have called Worldcoin an “inclusive” global cryptocurrency that will be available to anyone who verifies their “unique personhood” with the “Orb,” a device that scans an individuals unique iris pattern.
“The Orb checks that an individual is real and is unique or has not previously signed up for Worldcoin. It does this by capturing and processing images of an individual and their unique iris pattern,” Worldcoin explains on its website.
Once a user submits to biometric iris scans they are assigned a “World ID” that allows them to receive 25 free Worldcoin tokens at launch of the token. The company claims once the unique identity is created the iris scans are deleted.
While the project is being touted as a method of softening the blow of A.I. disruption, it’s clear such a project also mimics calls for digital identity using biometrics being proposed by the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, and a growing number of international governments. Perhaps, Altman and his cohorts believe the technology will be used for good in their hands, but the relationship to the Bilderberg Group, Silicon Valley, and Elon Musk are — at the very least — a cause for concern and reflection.
One way or another, it appears a world built around digital identities and digital currencies is indeed rapidly approaching. Will it be identities controlled by governments and corporations? Or will open source, decentralized, and distributed versions of technologies like A.I. rise to the top?
I find your essay very interesting even if disconcerting. I will subscribe to you though at present I can't upgrade to paid. Earlier I was living in genteel poverty on my pension and could pay all my bills and for some extra things but the backfire of the sanctions on Russia has reduced me to almost no money at all. As I am disabled I can't go to my bank where I have some savings and the advocates who are supposed to find a way of representing me at the bank are very slow to act. Months pass and I am still waiting. At least my pension arrived in June and that is better than nothing.
There is something I want to say which I shouldn't say but want to have said at least once to someone. You can ignore it. From my gay point of view I find you very attractive. I have also seen you conversing with James Corbett. Delicous. Obviously nothing can come of this and even if you were living in the spare room in my flat I wouldn't bother you in the slightest. Thinking of this I suddenly realised that I have indeed had men like you, including heteros on my bed, because they got a kick out of doing some (safe) sex for a few bucks. When I phoned them they came right over immediately. Nothing of the kind happens any more as I am far too old,, 82, although a strapping man of 40 had me in the shower in my seventies and at that age two boys of 15 tried to rape me. But those guys who came to visit were nice people and belong to my happy memories
But maybe I have some other thoughts that might interest you. There has been a lot of hysteria about transgenders. I am astonished by it and think, why can't people just be what they want to be? I am absolutely against transgender operations on children. I can hardly believe it but somethng of the kind seems to be happening. When I was a child I quite desperately wanted to be a girl. I remember my mother saying, 'Felix should have been a girl.' I was told on the evening a certain comet was to cross over the earth that one could go to bed wishing to be the other sex. I did a lot of wishing to no avail. As I grew up I decided that I'd rather keep my male attributes and be a passive gay, meaning the receiver of the d. I was never interested in women's clothes and make up. The point I am making is that children should be able to grow up and make their own decisions. The idea that my parents might have been political eager beavers and put me through sex change operations is horrifying
Homosexuality, the transvestite, transgenderism should be freely experienced and not become ideologies as when young children in a class room are made to hold transgender flags in their hands.
Great post. I’m fortunate to be living in a time there are still a few intelligent, brave humans fighting for humanity as a whole, rather than party-systems of brainwashed, Compulsory Transhumanists. But I have no patience for the Left vs. Right unnatural paradigms driven by both Independent and Mainstream Media Personalities constantly parroting across all of their papers and broadcasts the exact same message: “There’s nothing we can do—it’s coming whether we like it or not,” bullshit. Then why the Hell even get up in the morning? The fatalistic, end-of-times loons are intensely maddening, as always, and “they” have the nerve to call me “intense.” Well of course I’m intense—intensely-impatient with the drones, clones, busy-bots and overreaching, intrusive trolls. Please indulge me as I continue this rant.
Bloody Hell, man, we need to do what most are unwilling to even talk seriously about: Stop Killing Each-Other; Form our well-armed Peaceful Militias; Create Nuremberg-style systems of justice; Hunt down the wealthiest monsters of private and government corporations getting away with Genocide every generation—and imprison them—in mental institutions controlled by student-run universities. It’s the solution, with natural, human evolutionary changes that will prevent war—so we no longer have to put up with private, psych-driving rogue governments within governments and BlackRock-controlled media telling us, “We don’t have any choice.”
Again, why do so many people continue to put on their Red & Blue tee shirts, then allow themselves to be involved, trapped every generation to unjust wars, which all wars are? How can you, the individual, justify allowing for the criminalization of Freedom and Choice, psychologically driving people to madness, then insist the only options are more unjust prisons and wars? At just a fraction of the cost, we can have naturally-occurring peace via fair taxes from friar trade to cheaply pay for Free Electricity (therefor Free clean water & communications), health care with intelligent diagnostics & choice, public education with perpetual-students in power, and prevent all wars, indefinitely. At a fraction of the cost, the sacrifice, the destruction and deaths caused by War-Bankers and their bought, criminal officials of government—humanity could easily realize peace and freedom, in spite of population, and I’m one of millions who can prove it with the simplest of math and engineering; no need for new technology or miracles beyond what Mother Nature has already provided. So you must ask yourself, who the hell do the smartest scientists on earth really work for?
So then, you must now ask yourself: What is so very wrong with the minds of the sheep who seem to have it engraved in their skulls to be chronic warriors, without an endgame, ever, other than unnatural, generational warfare—just like the Zionists of Dumpy, Sprawling-Ass Israel. What the Hell is wrong with “them?” Can someone, anyone honestly make sense of their intense insanity; ethnic cleansing the majority diverse peoples of Palestine, meanwhile claiming to be an honest democracy? There is no logical answer, starting way back prior to WWI and WWII. You’ve got to simply take their own word for it from their own minutes of secret meetings, such as Rothschild’s Protocols of Zionism: “We want a world of our own, and we will not share with anyone.” They intend on cleansing the entire world, as planned for centuries, meanwhile regurgitating the same tired bullshit about how Jewish Rothschild-created Hitler was so evil, as if that explains over ten thousand years of region by region warfare by their bought leaders of every government on earth.
War is NOT human, and the majority are not inclined to engage in war unless crazy-made driven to war—which is what the Bilderberg Group, The Council on Foreign Relations, the World Economic Forum, and the Black Nobility of Rothschild cartels are all all about. We Humans MUST end this, or it will end us, and there is no more time to simply bitch and complain about which side of their political isles are the most guilty, then war each-other as we pretend to elect our next fascist dictator for more warfare to fix it.
Stop killing each-other, Russian-Ukrainian peoples. Your war is not yours. Your conflicts and divisions have been created by bought leadership—by the same cartels I’ve just described. The Rothschild and Rockefeller Satanic families are dead set on killing ALL of Russia-Ukraine, China, Taiwan & HongKong, all of Africa and the Middle East, North, Central & South America…the entire world. We, the majority, must end offensive-defensive warfare, stop the argumentative debates the media and our corrupt governments trap us to, and take action against these monsters, or humanity if dead. Must I really go on?
