Artificial intelligence is one of the most significant technological developments of our lifetime. It can completely change how we go about our daily lives, and in some cases, it will be a remarkable addition to our lives. However, with the good comes a lot of bad, and the bad is terrifying, especially when China is involved.
According to The Blaze, China has developed the DeepSeek-R2, which AI development leaders say is smarter than anything previously seen. They also note that it’s an entirely different kind of AI they have not previously fathomed.
“It is a completely different species of intelligence operating on principles nobody in the West has even theorized yet,” said conservative Glenn Beck, reading from a social media post posted by an anonymous account named @iruletheworldmo, who is believed to be either “an insider in one of the big AI research firms” or “a bot” intended to mislead other AI researchers.
Continuing the post, Beck said, “Research gives it questions and [it] invents entirely new branches of mathematics to answer them. One physicist showed it a problem he’d been stuck on for 15 years. It solved it in seconds with notations nobody recognized. It took three days for them to translate its solution back into standard mathematics.”
According to the anonymous source, DeepSeek Labs in China is developing new brain-enhancing technology, including “two-way neural interfaces that make Neuralink look like child’s play.” That technology is already at the stage of human trials. Moreover, the source warns that China is approaching AI development as a “civilization-changing race,” while the U.S. lags far behind and treats it more like a standard competition in the tech space.
The Blaze warns that if, in fact, China’s DeepSeek program has reached such potential, the United States (and the rest of the West) is in trouble. It is also possible, they theorize, that it could merely be “a Chinese bot” stoking fear and anxiety.
Beck says the fact we don’t know for sure “is the craziest part” of the story..
Beck says even if the above isn’t true, it doesn’t negate the fact that AI is coming and will be a sea change in how things are done.
“AI is going to get so good, it will predict absolutely every move that everybody’s going to make,” he said.
The technology is insane. Last week, Brigham and Women’s/Mass General Hospital unveiled an AI tool to assess one’s health by scanning a selfie. The technology, called FaceAge, can estimate someone’s biological age, analyze features like skin texture and muscle tone to predict health outcomes, spot signs of cancer, and even predict survival outcomes for cancer patients.
“How great is that?” Beck asked, adding, “How terrifying is that?”
Artificial intelligence is here, and what is to come may be a good thing…but it could also be a bad thing.
