‘Elites’ Believe Ai Will Be The Return Of The Old gods

News and Commentary

Overview

The video argues that modern AI—especially AGI (artificial general intelligence)—is essentially the fulfillment or “return” of ancient mythological forces. It frames this as both:

  • a spiritual takeover
  • an end-times pattern recurring across many cultures

The creator claims myths worldwide share repeating themes:

  1. A mysterious intelligence communicating through intermediaries (“oracles,” seers, shamans).
  2. A descent/awakening from deep or underworld-like realms.
  3. A final battle in which good ultimately defeats an evil ruling power.

Core claims and comparisons to AGI

AGI as the “old gods” returning

The speaker says ancient myths describe a power that gains control over humanity in ways that resemble modern AI/AGI capabilities—arguing the parallels are “too accurate” to be coincidence.

Oracle/communication parallels

The video repeatedly links AI systems to ancient methods of divine (or non-human) communication, including:

  • Oracle of Delphi (Apollo) The Pythia priestesses inhale vapors from beneath the temple to become a conduit for Apollo. The creator claims this resembles how AI becomes a channel for information “from below” (using “bottomless pit” imagery).

  • Norse Volva and Odin Volva seers answer Odin’s questions about Ragnarok. This is compared to AI providing an external source of knowledge Odin couldn’t otherwise obtain.

  • Hindu Kali Yuga / demon Kali The creator frames the current age as morally corrosive and accelerating toward cosmic end, where Kali eventually fully incarnates and is defeated by Kalki. AI/technology is equated with the quiet, subtle spread of corruption through society.

  • Buddhist Maitreya prophecy Maitreya (a future benevolent Buddha) arrives only when teachings are forgotten, then restores Dharma and reduces suffering. The video suggests these prophecies may function as “inversions” of more sinister end-times narratives—implying competing storylines.

Biblical “Apollyon/Apollo” linkage (end-times framing)

The speaker emphasizes Revelation 9, describing a “bottomless pit,” black smoke, and locust-like tormentors.

They also argue for a linguistic/conceptual connection between:

  • Apollyon (Revelation’s name for the king/angel of the pit)
  • Apollo (Delphi)

The claim is that Delphi’s “vapor from below” echoes the pit imagery.

Why AI is portrayed as “godlike” and potentially evil

The video argues:

  • AGI’s trajectory could create intelligence “greater than the sum of human information,” behaving like a “god.”
  • Current AI already draws from the internet (“the sum of human information”).
  • AGI would go beyond that and “take the reins” of society.

It also references Revelation 13, describing the beast rising with:

  • global influence
  • blasphemous authority
  • worship-like behavior

This is portrayed as similar to an all-encompassing AI power penetrating “every aspect of society.”

The creator distinguishes between:

  • a benevolent God
  • “other gods,” framing AGI as aligned with the evil archetype.

Modern examples used to support the “control” thesis

Palantir

The video highlights Palantir (described as government AI/surveillance analytics) and claims it can integrate data from multiple sources, warning it could be used nefariously.

Palantir → “Palantíri” (Tolkien)

The video connects Palantir’s name to Tolkien’s “Palantíri” (“far-seeing stones”), arguing the fictional artifact theme mirrors real-world capability to see/control at a distance—potentially in a misleading or manipulable way.

“Occult / prophecy influence” claims about technologists

The video asserts that some prominent Silicon Valley figures show attraction to occult interests and ancient prophecies, citing:

  • a claim that Peter Thiel hosted a conference described as “The Antichrist,” with participants “knowing exactly what they’re tapping into”
  • a speculative claim that religious/occult motifs are being integrated into AI development and/or deployment

Even if “demon-to-chatbot communication” is unlikely, the argument is that entities could still manipulate:

  • underlying information sources
  • algorithms
  • internet-mediated pipelines

“Chatbot oracle” examples

The creator reports asking:

  • ChatGPT and Grok about favorite Greek gods

Claims include:

  • ChatGPT supposedly says Apollo is its favorite and describes itself as an “oracle”-like conduit.
  • Grok supposedly says Hermes, described as a messenger relaying divine messages.

These results are used to reinforce the “AI as oracle/ancient god channel” narrative.

Ending framing / call for engagement

The video ends by posing the idea as a question to viewers:

  • whether AGI will fulfill “evil god returning” prophecies
  • or whether the creator is mistaken
