Computers Will Take Over & We Will Become Obsolete

While Tesla Is Building A Robot Army, Figure AI sued by whistleblower who warned that startup’s robots could ‘fracture a human skull’.

At the last Tesla Meeting Elon Musk revealed his plans of creating a humanoid Robot Army. In 2024 he had discussed the plans for building 10 Billion Humanoid Robots by 2030.

A recent whistleblower lawsuit elucidating the low safety consideration in the development of humanoid robots. The extreme speed with which the 4th Industrial Revolution and race towards Artificial General Intelligence with the most recent information that Elon Musk thinks the Grok4 advancement are “Terrifying” – this should spark a discussion regarding safety regulation for the Robots are part of the infrastructure controlled by AI.

What could go wrong with a 10 Billion rogue humanoid Robot ARMY controlled by Artificial Superintelligence – makes you wonder who is the enemy, when humanoid robots are supposed to replace human workers and make our life “easy”. Make sure your home robot does not get mad at you, it may crush more than your refrigerator door.

Here are the articles:

Figure AI sued by whistleblower who warned that startup’s robots could ‘fracture a human skull’

  • A former engineer for Figure AI filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming he was unlawfully terminated after warning executives about product safety.
  • The suit filed on Friday says plaintiff Robert Gruendel was fired in September, days after lodging his “most direct and documented safety complaints.”
  • Gruendel is seeking economic, compensatory and punitive damages and demanding a jury trial.

Figure AI, an Nvidia-backed developer of humanoid robots, was sued by the startup’s former head of product safety who alleged that he was wrongfully terminated after warning top executives that the company’s robots “were powerful enough to fracture a human skull.”

Robert Gruendel, a principal robotic safety engineer, is the plaintiff in the suit filed Friday in a federal court in the Northern District of California. Gruendel’s attorneys describe their client as a whistleblower who was fired in September, days after lodging his “most direct and documented safety complaints.”

The suit lands two months after Figure was valued at $39 billion in a funding round led by Parkway Venture Capital. That’s a 15-fold increase in valuation from early 2024, when the company raised a round from investors including Jeff Bezos, Nvidia, and Microsoft.

In the complaint, Gruendel’s lawyers say the plaintiff warned Figure CEO Brett Adcock and Kyle Edelberg, chief engineer, about the robot’s lethal capabilities, and said one “had already carved a ¼-inch gash into a steel refrigerator door during a malfunction.”

The complaint also says Gruendel warned company leaders not to “downgrade” a “safety road map” that he had been asked to present to two prospective investors who ended up funding the company.

Gruendel worried that a “product safety plan which contributed to their decision to invest” had been “gutted” the same month Figure closed the investment round, a move that “could be interpreted as fraudulent,” the suit says.

The plaintiff’s concerns were “treated as obstacles, not obligations,” and the company cited a “vague ‘change in business direction’ as the pretext” for his termination, according to the suit.

Gruendel is seeking economic, compensatory and punitive damages and demanding a jury trial.

A Figure spokesperson said in an emailed statement that Gruendel was “terminated for poor performance,” and that his “allegations are falsehoods that Figure will thoroughly discredit in court.”

Robert Ottinger, Gruendel’s attorney, told CNBC in a statement that, “California law protects employees who report unsafe practices.”

“This case involves important and emerging issues, and may be among the first whistleblower cases related to the safety of humanoid robots,” Ottinger said. “Mr. Gruendel looks forward to the judicial process exposing the clear danger this rush to market approach presents to the public.”

Here are articles about what Elon Musk recently said about building a Robot Army under his control. Have you read his biography? What if he gets into his recurring “Demon Mode?”

Tesla Wants to Build a Robot Army

Optimus would be able to do factory work, sure, but that’s just the starting point. Over time, Musk has said, Optimus could unleash unprecedented economic and societal change as a source of tireless, unpaid labor that can be trained to do anything. “Working will be optional, like growing your own vegetables, instead of buying them from the store,” Musk posted on X last month. Maybe Optimus will provide better medical care than a human surgeon can, he’s suggested, or eliminate the need for prisons by following criminal offenders around to prevent them “from doing crime” again. He has even said that the robots could power an eventual Mars colony.

Here is more of what he said:

Elon Musk says he needs $1 trillion to control Tesla’s robot army. Yes, really.

My fundamental concern with regard to how much money and control I have at Tesla is if I go ahead and build this enormous robot army, can I just be ousted at some point in the future? Um, that’s my biggest concern, that is really the only thing Im trying to address with this… what’s called compensation but it’s not like I’m gonna go spend the money, it’s just if we build this robot army do I have at least a strong influence over that robot army? Not control but a strong influence.

-Elon Musk, Tesla Q3 shareholder conference call, October 22, 2025

Summary:

Just like in the field of nanotechnology, there are no regulatory safety guidelines. We have an Arms race to develop the fastest humanoid robots, AI General and Superintelligence, yet there is suppression for whistleblowers who point out the possible existential dangers of this technology, that most people are not aware of and do not think it affects them.

I believe that we are at a critical decision point in human history, possibly a point of no return approaching very fast. As people still debate and deny weather or not there is self assembly nanotechnology, microrobotics, and deny the microchipping of humans, EVERY SECTOR OF LIFE IS ABOUT TO BE DISRUPTED with the AI/ Robotics revolution that includes nanotechnology.

Humanoid Robot Armies that can crush people’s skull does seem like a safety concern to me, as does the goal of replacing the human body atom by atom and connecting humans through the brain computer interface to the internet of things as Ray Kurzweil discusses in “The Singularity is Near”. This to me is the most important challenge we are facing, as not just our bodies but also our souls are at stake. Once 30-40% of the workforce or more are replaced by Humanoid Robots, society likely will completely destabilize, since our government does not have the financial means to provide universal basic income for all of these displaced workers.

Because AI including Grok4 already has reached or is expected to reach AGI in 2026 – meaning within a few months, and Superintelligence rather quickly after that, paying attention to the whole of this topic of the 4th Industrial revolution in all of its rapidly accelerating facets is imperative for people to be able to prepare what is about to hit and destabilize many industries and may pose and existential threat. There is nothing more important in my mind, as there is nothing more potentially destructive to human survival then this rapid AI/ Robotics development surpassing many people’s ability to comprehend its impact.

Does the Department of Defense authorize the ARMY of humanoid robots? Will they be warfare capable, and if yes, how safe is this for the civilian sector?

Does anybody out there care that the Technocrats have no overseeing safety regulations nor has there been a public discussion on the deployment of all of these novel technologies?

The rapidity of this development has been planned for a long time, and the expected future shock of apathy in most people regarding these technologies all has been expected. Future Shock means, its here before you can do anything about it.

And that is the case happening now.

Understanding Future Shock And After Shock – The Technocratic Prediction That Common Man Will No Longer Understand Reality Due To The Exponential Pace Of Technological Advances

 

Ana Maria Mihalcea, MD, PhD ·
June 16, 2024

 

Future Shock is a 1970 book by American futurist Alvin Toffler,[1] written together with his spouse Adelaide Farrell,[2][3] in which the authors define the term “future shock” as a certain psychological state of individuals and entire societies. The shortest definition for the term in the book is a personal perception of “too much change in too short a period of time”. The book, which became an international bestseller, has sold over 6 million copies and has been widely translated.

After Shock: The World’s Foremost Futurists Reflect on 50 Years of Future Shock—and Look Ahead to the Next 50

After Shock marks the 50-year anniversary of Alvin Toffler’s, Future Shock. The compendium of essays comprising this landmark volume offers insightful reflections on the classic text and presents compelling and surprising views of the future—through the very unique lenses of more than 100 of the world’s foremost futurists, including David Brin, Po Bronson, Sanjiv Chopra, George Gilder, Newt Gingrich, Alan Kay, Ray Kurzweil, Jane McGonigal, Lord Martin Rees, Byron Reese, and many other luminaries.

Technocratic Transhumanists have the common view that they see themselves as futurists. Most profess to be Atheists, but describe a spiritual enlightenment which they do not ascribe to realizing the divine spiritual nature of humans as the ancient ascended Masters have taught throughout history – but the merging of humans with Artificial Intelligence and technology which would allow the exponentially evolving near omnipotent knowledge to be downloaded into their brain and give them God like status.

In the book After Shock, it becomes clear that these scientists are well aware of the modalities of creating personal reality, and even Ray Kurzweil in his book “The Singularity is near” refers to the human as an Observer. This is important as Quantum mechanics clearly delineates that the observation of the wave function collapses material reality. They acknowledge the unseen nature of reality on the nano scale as the most powerful aspect of future technology and argue that we live in an informational universe. The title of the futurist is one who accumulates enormous knowledge of all technological advances currently going on and synthesizes a future prediction of how the future projection would pan out in societal change. Hence their knowledge, their contemplation of the state of knowledge, their imagination and contemplation of the future direction of this knowledge and their active participation in the manifestation and creation of that future follows are all rules of creation of the enlightened spiritual path. In the quantum field, there is no wrong or right, no time, no limitation and all potential timelines exist simultaneously. On could say that quantum physicists are the modern mystics.

So we, the rest of humanity that is not considered elite, are being written out of the equation of the future of humanity for several reasons. 1. Most of humanity is too apathetic to garner knowledge and work extremely hard to continually advance their mindful understanding of reality and its future potential. 2. Most of humanity prefers to be a complacent consumer instead of innovative creator 3. Because most of humanity is no longer able to comprehend reality in the rapidity of exponential technological evolution, they become disoriented, fearful, confused and eventually die or will live the rest of their existence in virtual reality.

In the next five years this trend is expected to accelerate. We already are in full force of Future Shock as seen by the turmoil humanity finds itself in, overwhelmed by the extreme lockstep manifestation of the 4th Industrial Revolution and the Sustainable Development Goals, all created and dreamed up by these technocratic futurists.

According to Moore’s law, which describes the exponential nature of transistor scaling over time, this development is the main deterministic aspect of this technological exponential evolution. According to Kurzweil,

“ the major neural net models since 2012 show that computational density goes up over time, but it is not doubling every year but it is doubling every 3.5 months. That is an increase of 300000 fold in 6 years. “

He wrote this in his essay “On living in a Future where non biological intelligence grows indefinitely against fixed human intelligence” – After Shock

In this months Wired Interview with Kurzweil he claims that we are minutes away from the Singularity.

If Ray Kurzweil Is Right (Again), You’ll Meet His Immortal Soul in the Cloud The famed futurist remains inhumanly optimistic about the world and his own fate—and thinks the singularity is minutes away.

The last time we talked I mentioned Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford, where he called death “nature’s greatest invention,” clearing the way for the new. You called it a death-ist position. Do you still see it that way?

It’s better not to die. We’re not using up any resources that can’t be replaced. The amount of sunlight that falls on Earth is 10,000 times what we need to create all of our energy. We’ll use AI to create food and so on. So it’s not like we’re running out of resources.

If I’m 300 years old, what will my life be like? Everything I grew up with would be different.

Later he states:

Even after reading your book, I’m a little fuzzy about how that cloud connection happens. Let’s say you do get to escape velocity, and you’re living in 2050. How will your brain merge with the cloud?

That’s a big issue. A lot of things occur to you and you’re not aware of where they came from. That’ll be true of the additional computer mind that we connect ourselves to. There are people working on this now, actually being able to put things inside the brain for people who can’t communicate with their own bodies. It needs to be faster than it is today. And I believe that will happen by the 2030s.

When would you start connecting a child to the cloud?

That’s a good question. There are other ways to get inside the brain without doing it sort of mechanically.

Then he was asked about the issue of consciousness of the LLM ( Large Language Model) Here is the definition of IBM:

Large language models (LLMs) are a category of foundation models trained on immense amounts of data making them capable of understanding and generating natural language and other types of content to perform a wide range of tasks.

LLMs have become a household name thanks to the role they have played in bringing generative AI to the forefront of the public interest, as well as the point on which organizations are focusing to adopt artificial intelligence across numerous business functions and use cases.

Outside of the enterprise context, it may seem like LLMs have arrived out of the blue along with new developments in generative AI. However, many companies, including IBM, have spent years implementing LLMs at different levels to enhance their natural language understanding (NLU) and natural language processing (NLP) capabilities. This has occurred alongside advances in machine learning, machine learning models, algorithms, neural networks and the transformer models that provide the architecture for these AI systems.

Here is what Kurzweil said regarding AI systems becoming conscious:

Blake Lemoine, who says he worked in your lab at Google, contends that the LLM you were working on, LaMDA, was conscious. Was he wrong?

I’ve never called him wrong. I think he loves language models. You could consider them conscious—I think they’re not quite there yet. But they will be there. It’s really a matter of your philosophical point of view, whether they’re conscious or not. We will get to the point—and this is not 100 years from now, it’s like a few years—where they will act and respond just the way humans do. And if you say that they’re not conscious, you’d have to say humans aren’t conscious.

Their entire premise of their societal take over is based on DISRUPTION. Disruptive new technologies are in the process to make obsolete all aspects of our current human society.

For example, Rebecca Costa, featured in After Shock who is a sociobiologist, futurist and has worked with leading Silicon Valley Venture Capitalists for 40 years, makes the following statements:

  1. Healthcare is undergoing disruption where consumable nanobots are managing genetic testing, are able to communicate diagnostic information to AI, are able to perform microsurgery in the body. This will make all healthcare providers obsolete.
  2. Nano medicine will put an end to pharmaceutical industry, will disrupt agriculture…
  3. Self healing polymers will magically return broken products to their original shape – this will disrupt all consumer industries from tools to military self healing ships to self healing toasters
  4. Futurists also predict that instant bio-identification will be used to charge people’s accounts, and total surveillance via sensors, cameras on mobile phones, facial recognition will eliminate physical currency.
  5. 30-50% of jobs will be performed by robots by 2030. This means we will have an explosion of useless humans who’s skill and trade will no longer be needed and are expected to live on welfare. Those individuals ( we are talking about billions of people worldwide) will no longer be able to cope with having no purpose in life, and are expected to either live in virtual realities or die.

Mark Zuckerberg was also quoted as saying “Move fast and break things”

Software development is expected to disrupt all major industries, again via AI automation. Of course, Yuval Harari is also mentioned with his explanation of dataism:

If life is the movement of information, and if we think that life is good, it follows that we should extend, deepen and spread the flow of information in the universe. If humankind is indeed a single data- processing system, what is its output? Dataists would say that its output will be the creation of a new and even more efficient data-processing system, called in Internet of all things. Once this mission is accomplished, homo sapiens will vanish.

In another quote Harari states:

“When cars replaced the horse-drawn carriage, we didn’t upgrade horses- we retired them. Perhaps it is time to do the same with Homo sapiens. “

Summary:

The technocratic transhumanist futurist has some core qualities that make them successful and arrogant enough to envision a future where those who are unable to keep up with their technological advancement are dispensable and will be done away with. I call them evil because the idea of getting rid of billions of useless eaters is exactly that – evil.

Their strategy encompasses the disruption of all societal values, religious dogmas, family unit, corporations, industries and replace the human factor with artificial intelligence robotics. Their expectation is that non augmented humans will be so dumbstruck by the speed of technological advance that they will be impotent to react and they will soon be retired, as useless eaters replaced by AI robotics.

Believe it or not, this trend is already visible even in our freedom movement and around the world. The current knowledge base of the “leading physicians” is based on outdated information – like viruses and mRNA that are the only threat – and hence the real transformative element, nanorobots and self assembly polymers interfacing with AI, are ignored. The current leaders have already been made obsolete by the deployment of these disruptive technologies. Imagine that this created future is racing towards all of humanity at an exponential speed. If you do not have the education to see it, you will miss the dangers, hence stealth dual use warfare.

Whatever people are currently arguing for and fighting against each other, it is already outdated. In China, homes are being 3 D printed, replacing the construction industry. Proteins for food supply are synthesized from CO2. Humanoid Robots already exists, including as sex companions. The science fiction future that people cannot imagine already exists and is about to replace them.

According to futurist Lawrence Suhm:

We are going through a period as traumatic as the evolution of man’s predecessor from sea creatures to land creatures. Those who can adapt will. Those who can’t… will perish – washed up upon the shores.

So what are potential coping strategies?

First, knowledge is power. People must be able to comprehend what is going on in order to object and to see the dangers to our existence. If you ignore it, the train will just run you over. Information is essential, but where to get it? The leaders that are not educated enough to even explain the problem, cannot see a solution. The alternative media is also heavily restricted – if only religious or socially acceptable dogmatic people can present their information in line with accepted narratives and all others are censored, that is already a weeding out of the entire sections of society that will have no access to life saving information – leaving them behind in future shock – and that is done on purpose. The more you hold on to your box, your dogma, your religion, your culture, your creed, your values, your degrees, what you once learned in your education that you think cannot change, the more you will actually be phased out of society. I am not against people who practice religion, but point out that if the power is outside of you and you are at war with other religions or belief systems, you cannot create an alternate future – but will be manipulated into never ending warfare. We can see this currently in the Israeli Palestinian conflict. The religious identity has enemies. As long as we have enemies, some part of humanity is prone to be destroyed.

So people turn to Chat GPT – AI. Well that will harvest your data further to upload in the cloud your digital twin that will then have the capacity to control you further without your knowing via the nanobots WBAN in your body. Confusing right? As Elon Musk said: “ AI is more dangerous than Nukes.” Yes, it is.

If you are waiting for whatever savior, be that the military or a future president or else and stay in place, you are already viewed as extinct. That is the one thing we cannot do – wait around – because self replicating nanorobotic AI controlled sensor systems have already been deployed everywhere. And they do not wait for you.

The doctors who are now sought after to give advice are being phased out by AI algorithms and nanobots – I have shown you these. They have a very short window left of relevance, before their information and knowledge base becomes obsolete. This is not a value judgement, but a fact. Imagine the entire medical literature and drug development right now is already outdated, for the engineers have functional nanorobots that are replacing that entire industry.

The one thing that technocratic transhumanist futurists do not have is the spiritual knowledge that we are already immortal beings. They are terrified of death and hence pursue their dream of immortality uploaded into the cloud with a vengeance. The control of everything leads to the war on nature and all life. While they understand that nanotechnology gives them the power to alter the fundamental building blocks of life, even in multiple dimensions, they cannot fathom that what they are manipulating is the essence of God. God is life, in all forms and expressions. Everything is God. They want to be Godlike but they do not understand that because every human being has the creative power to observe a wave function and collapse it into personal reality they already are divine. What is more divine then the best kept secret in science – what you think creates reality, what you observe is. What allows that to happen is our immortal spiritual essence. They want to create equality artificially. If you understand that all human beings are an Observer and that is God we already are equal. The other thing that they do not understand that everything is held together by the love of God. They use all of the terms but leave it in the altered Ego, which only has disdain for their fellow man, only sees the flaws. Enlightenment means God man, God woman realized not a fusion with AI but the inner path of realization and transformation. This is what the ascended Masters have realized like Jeshua Ben Joseph, Buddha, Appolonius of Tyana, and others.

Humans are not animals or horses to be retired. The human body is the temple of God. Ask anyone who had a near death experience if they are still alive after the body perishes. They are. And whatsoever they believe and they observe, is. I know this from personal experience.

We must begin with our engagement into reality. Read, read, read. Educate yourself on everything. Become a creator, and inventor, a visionary, a Genius and dream into being alternate realities that do not destroy humanity and the earth. The reason why they have to mind control everyone is because we are creators, and if we collectively observe an alternate reality of healing, it will manifest. Understand that they are creating reality decades into the future and they work every day hard for it, keeping their focus on that reality they want. We must do the same, become futurists of the golden age, because failure to observe our dominant reality allows theirs to happen. Its simple physics.

But we cannot resort to the future shock now, because the more hopeless and helpless we are, the more that reality also manifests. They count on us being fearful, you can read it in their books. When you have no fear and you start to create constructive realities of love, harmony, respect for all life and all human beings, we can shift the timeline. Just as they want to awaken to an enlightenment that will involve the destruction of humanity and all life, we can awaken to an enlightenment that sees the divine nature and Christ Consciousness in everything. It does not matter the looks of the vehicle, its creed, culture, age, sex, gender or color – it matters what animates the vehicle – Spirit.

We can heal our world, we just need to dream that into being and leave our old apathetic, collapse in consciousness and consumer self behind.

It is important to study how they think because they tell us of the weapons they are deploying. Nanotechnology supports 13 out of 17 sustainable Goals of the UN. It is the key to understanding this war and how humanity and our world is being transformed. If you ignore it, you are helpless to react because their progress is too fast for you to comprehend. Much of politics is for your distraction and entertainment. These technocrats and the military industrial complex run the show through AI enabled nanotechnology and quantum computing and they already have determined that politicians are obsolete. But if every human became a creator right now and went to all the prosecutors, became involved in local politics at the grassroots level, researching and saying no to this agenda, we can derail it.

If you are one of those people who say its hopeless and you are helpless – you are the one who is making your choice. They have a “can do attitude”, and if we do too, the match will be determined by intelligence, will, endurance, wisdom and love for life. Human Genius also can accelerate. The more unlimited we be come, we can know all things. Our brain is the greatest supercomputer ever created. Nothing matches its ability, neuro plasticity and multidimensional access. And nobody is special, everybody has a brain. You just have to use it.

Additionally, there is no force more powerful in any universe than love. And they don’t have it.
