But while one might indeed nitpick at the author of the second article's urgent tone and how it mars what otherwise might have been a much more tightly argued point and nuanced etymology, his main point cannot be brushed off so lightly, all the more especially when one does the sort of etymological review as I attempted in the previous paragraph. To seize the fire of the gods and give it to (some) men, to claim - even if only by allusion - to be God or to replace Him with technology, is to play the devil's game. Or as the author of the second article put it toward the beginning of his article:
Demons fused with technology. Portals opened by scientists. Hell’s armies unleashed on Earth

AI NAMES ARE NOT JUST WEIRD, THEY’RE DOWNRIGHT APOCALYPTIC

Over the weekend, M.C. posted a story on this website's Forum about the fact that the names for some of those artificial intelligence data centers appear to be the names of the gods of mythology, and some of those were not very nice people. A case could be argued that in the popular imagination, this theme of associating artificial intelligence and surveillance capabilities with divinity began with two signal and overlooked events. One was a public appearance of Elon Musk years ago, when he made the pronouncement that he was worried most about the development of artiicial intelligence, and worried that there might be some kind of threshold that would be crossed, when all the networked A.I.'s online would transduce "entities" into our reality, and that these entities might not be so friendly, and vastly more intelligent than we mere furless monkeys. It did not take a linguistics expert to figure out what Mr. Musk was really worried about. He was literally worried about A.I.s somehow summoning the demonic, the terrible gods of mythology. A further implication of his statements were the ones many people overlooked while they were focused on the sensational aspects: Mr. Musk was also implying in a round about way that the gods and demons of human mythologies might have had some basis in reality, long ago, and that technology of some sort may have been involved in their "manifestations." Think of the Hebrew high priest's "urim and thummin" and how they seemed to be used to communicate with "Yahweh".

So "demons fused with technology" and "portals opened by scientists" are just a different way of expressing what Mr. Musk was worried about all those years ago when he made those statements.
But what if we have, in fact, been misinterpreting those statements? Most people took Musk's words as a warning.
However, like the author of the second article, I'm increasingly coming to the opinion that it was not the annunciation of a warning, but the statement of an agenda disguised as a warning. The parallels are indeed there for anyone bothering to read and look: "And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months." (Rev. 13:5) I don't know about you, but I cannot help but think that the enormous power consumptions of data centers might be being referred to in the second part of that verse, while the mouths speaking "great things" are all the artificial intelligence hype.
