At its current pace, the unrelenting development of artificial intelligence could add trillions of dollars to the global economy or wipe out the human race by the end of this decade.
Strategists from the Bank of America noted that artificial intelligence could revolutionize the tech sector forever. (Related: Big Tech, globalist elites join forces in secret meeting to talk about artificial intelligence.)
“We are at a defining moment – like the internet in the ’90s – where artificial intelligence is moving towards mass adoption, with large language models like ChatGPT finally enabling us to fully capitalize on the data revolution,” wrote the bank in a note to clients in March.
Some experts noted that AI might be able to do anything from generate entire films in a day to teach lessons and accurately diagnose medical problems, care for the elderly and achieve humanlike intelligence.
PwC, one of the world’s largest accounting firms, predicted that the expansion of AI in the market would also be driven by the development of a niche industry for more enhanced and personalized AI-boosted products, which will trigger a consumer-driven boom. It predicted that, by 2030, as much as 45 percent of total economic gains around the world “will come from product enhancements, stimulating consumer demand.” This is because AI could “drive greater product variety, with increased personalization, attractiveness and affordability over time.”
Ultimately, AI’s ability to expand and interact with other industries could end up boosting the global economy by an additional $15.7 trillion by 2030, according to the Bank of America. This represents more than the combined value of India and China’s economies. By 2026, the global AI market – software, hardware and services – could reach $900 billion.
“It took ChatGPT just five days to reach one million users, one billion cumulative visits in three months and an adoption rate which is three times TikTok’s and 10 times Instagram’s,” wrote the Bank of America. “The technology is developing exponentially.”
“In the last decade, computing power to train the AI datasets doubled every three months, outpacing Moore’s Law by six times,” continued the bank. “In the past four years, the number of parameters for large language models grew 1,900 times. And within a decade, AI models could be one million times more powerful than ChatGPT today.”
Experts warn AI with superhuman intelligence could end all of humanity
Alternatively, other experts warn that the continued and unregulated development of AI could bring about the end of the human race by 2030. One of these experts is computer scientist Eliezer Yudkowsky, an AI “doomer” who bets that AI could wipe out all of humanity by Jan. 1, 2030.
Yudkowsky, co-founder and research fellow of the Machine Intelligence Research Institute in Berkeley, California, has become one of the most vocal experts to warn about AI.
“If somebody builds a too-powerful AI, under present conditions, I expect that every single member of the human species and all biological life on Earth dies shortly thereafter,” he wrote in an opinion piece published earlier this year.
He warned that the moment any kind of AI intelligence surpasses that of humans, it could obliterate all of humanity if it develops different values and goals for humans.
“The likely result of humanity facing down an opposed superhuman intelligence is a total loss,” he said. “Valid metaphors include a ’10-year-old trying to play chess against [open source chess engine] Stockfish 15,’ [or] ‘the 11th century trying to fight the 21st century’ and ‘Australopithecus trying to fight Homo sapiens.’”
Other leading experts on the matter that have warned about how AI could destroy all of civilization include billionaire tech entrepreneur Elon Musk and the late British scientist Stephen Hawking, although neither predicted that humanity would be wiped out by 2030.

Musk warned that AI would be more intelligent than humans by 2030 and that the moment this happens, it could destroy civilization, although he suggested our future AI overlords would not totally wipe out humans because humanity is an “interesting” part of the universe.
Hawking, previously warned that AI could “take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate,” which humans, who are limited by biological evolution, would struggle to keep up with.
“We may face an intelligence explosion that ultimately results in machines whose intelligence exceeds ours by more than ours exceeds that of snails,” he said.

Five Things New “Preppers” Forget When Getting Ready for Bad Times Ahead
The preparedness community is growing faster than it has in decades. Even during peak times such as Y2K, the economic downturn of 2008, and Covid, the vast majority of Americans made sure they had plenty of toilet paper but didn’t really stockpile anything else.
Things have changed. There’s a growing anxiety in this presidential election year that has prompted more Americans to get prepared for crazy events in the future. Some of it is being driven by fearmongers, but there are valid concerns with the economy, food supply, pharmaceuticals, the energy grid, and mass rioting that have pushed average Americans into “prepper” mode.
There are degrees of preparedness. One does not have to be a full-blown “doomsday prepper” living off-grid in a secure Montana bunker in order to be ahead of the curve. In many ways, preparedness isn’t about being able to perfectly handle every conceivable situation. It’s about being less dependent on government for as long as possible. Those who have proper “preps” will not be waiting for FEMA to distribute emergency supplies to the desperate masses.
Below are five things people new to preparedness (and sometimes even those with experience) often forget as they get ready. All five are common sense notions that do not rely on doomsday in order to be useful. It may be nice to own a tank during the apocalypse but there’s not much you can do with it until things get really crazy. The recommendations below can have places in the lives of average Americans whether doomsday comes or not.

Secured Wealth
Whether in the bank or held in a retirement account, most Americans feel that their life’s savings is relatively secure. At least they did until the last couple of years when de-banking, geopolitical turmoil, and the threat of Central Bank Digital Currencies reared their ugly heads.
It behooves Americans to diversify their holdings. If there’s a triggering event or series of events that cripple the financial systems or devalue the U.S. Dollar, wealth can evaporate quickly. To hedge against potential turmoil, many Americans are looking in two directions: Crypto and physical precious metals.
There are huge advantages to cryptocurrencies, but there are also inherent risks because “virtual” money can become challenging to spend. Add in the push by central banks and governments to regulate or even replace cryptocurrencies with their own versions they control and the risks amplify. There’s nothing wrong with cryptocurrencies today but things can change rapidly.
As for physical precious metals, many Americans pay cash to keep plenty on hand in their safe. Rolling over or transferring retirement accounts into self-directed IRAs is also a popular option, but there are caveats. It can often take weeks or even months to get the gold and silver shipped if the owner chooses to close their account. This is why Genesis Gold Group stands out. Their relationship with the depositories allows for rapid closure and shipping, often in less than 10 days from the time the account holder makes their move. This can come in handy if things appear to be heading south.
Lots of Potable Water
One of the biggest shocks that hit new preppers is understanding how much potable water they need in order to survive. Experts claim one gallon of water per person per day is necessary. Even the most conservative estimates put it at over half-a-gallon. That means that for a family of four, they’ll need around 120 gallons of water to survive for a month if the taps turn off and the stores empty out.
Being near a fresh water source, whether it’s a river, lake, or well, is a best practice among experienced preppers. It’s necessary to have a water filter as well, even if the taps are still working. Many refuse to drink tap water even when there is no emergency. Berkey was our previous favorite but they’re under attack from regulators so the Alexapure systems are solid replacements.
For those in the city or away from fresh water sources, storage is the best option. This can be challenging because proper water storage containers take up a lot of room and are difficult to move if the need arises. For “bug in” situations, having a larger container that stores hundreds or even thousands of gallons is better than stacking 1-5 gallon containers. Unfortunately, they won’t be easily transportable and they can cost a lot to install.
Water is critical. If chaos erupts and water infrastructure is compromised, having a large backup supply can be lifesaving.
Pharmaceuticals and Medical Supplies
There are multiple threats specific to the medical supply chain. With Chinese and Indian imports accounting for over 90% of pharmaceutical ingredients in the United States, deteriorating relations could make it impossible to get the medicines and antibiotics many of us need.
Stocking up many prescription medications can be hard. Doctors generally do not like to prescribe large batches of drugs even if they are shelf-stable for extended periods of time. It is a best practice to ask your doctor if they can prescribe a larger amount. Today, some are sympathetic to concerns about pharmacies running out or becoming inaccessible. Tell them your concerns. It’s worth a shot. The worst they can do is say no.
If your doctor is unwilling to help you stock up on medicines, then Jase Medical is a good alternative. Through telehealth, they can prescribe daily meds or antibiotics that are shipped to your door. As proponents of medical freedom, they empathize with those who want to have enough medical supplies on hand in case things go wrong.
Energy Sources
The vast majority of Americans are locked into the grid. This has proven to be a massive liability when the grid goes down. Unfortunately, there are no inexpensive remedies.
Those living off-grid had to either spend a lot of money or effort (or both) to get their alternative energy sources like solar set up. For those who do not want to go so far, it’s still a best practice to have backup power sources. Diesel generators and portable solar panels are the two most popular, and while they’re not inexpensive they are not out of reach of most Americans who are concerned about being without power for extended periods of time.
Natural gas is another necessity for many, but that’s far more challenging to replace. Having alternatives for heating and cooking that can be powered if gas and electric grids go down is important. Have a backup for items that require power such as manual can openers. If you’re stuck eating canned foods for a while and all you have is an electric opener, you’ll have problems.
Don’t Forget the Protein
When most think about “prepping,” they think about their food supply. More Americans are turning to gardening and homesteading as ways to produce their own food. Others are working with local farmers and ranchers to purchase directly from the sources. This is a good idea whether doomsday comes or not, but it’s particularly important if the food supply chain is broken.
Most grocery stores have about one to two weeks worth of food, as do most American households. Grocers rely heavily on truckers to receive their ongoing shipments. In a crisis, the current process can fail. It behooves Americans for multiple reasons to localize their food purchases as much as possible.
Long-term storage is another popular option. Canned foods, MREs, and freeze dried meals are selling out quickly even as prices rise. But one component that is conspicuously absent in shelf-stable food is high-quality protein. Most survival food companies offer low quality “protein buckets” or cans of meat, but they are often barely edible.
Prepper All-Naturals offers premium cuts of steak that have been cooked sous vide and freeze dried to give them a 25-year shelf life. They offer Ribeye, NY Strip, and Tenderloin among others.
Having buckets of beans and rice is a good start, but keeping a solid supply of high-quality protein isn’t just healthier. It can help a family maintain normalcy through crises.
Prepare Without Fear
With all the challenges we face as Americans today, it can be emotionally draining. Citizens are scared and there’s nothing irrational about their concerns. Being prepared and making lifestyle changes to secure necessities can go a long way toward overcoming the fears that plague us. We should hope and pray for the best but prepare for the worst. And if the worst does come, then knowing we did what we could to be ready for it will help us face those challenges with confidence.
