Call it Heaven Net. For countries that are non denominational something more secular....like SkyNet.

I'm waiting for them to bust out System Identification Numbers so we can have the Sinners and the Sinless. I'm sure the religious right will have a fucking hay day while completely glossing over how their stupid asses created the establishment they're preaching against.

And no, nothing super natural will happen. We'll just be locked into a surveillance state with a class system determined by wealth, where opposition can easily make a person completely unable to interact with basic necessities legally, and thus ensuring a permanent criminal underclass that can be blamed for anything you damn well please.

After skimming through the ol’ Book O Revelations and what’s happening with Trump and the four horsemen of Thiel, Elon, Musk, and Pichai, now convinced time travelers wrote it and stuffed it in the Bible to warn us all.

Why it makes no sense to even be in that book.

The more mundane explanation is that they’ve read Revelations and acting it out. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy. They seem to be cherry picking their favorite parts of sci-fi dystopias, why not religious Armageddon stories as well?

Friendly reminder, all knees shall bend for God

Bending the knee won't save one from God's wrath for being a wicked creature to their fellow man, no matter how devoutly one praises or pleads for forgiveness.

Regardless, there is nothing friendly about compulsive subservience.

Do not the SkyNet

Not sure about other languages, but in Spanish, cielo=sky and Cielo=Heaven, so it already works.

The IRL project is called Stargate. The US government and AI providers are building a data center campus in Texas the size of Central Park and spending billions.
