You may not yet have heard of the company BYD, Build Your Dreams, in the U.S., but in most other Western countries, BYD has had a devastating impact on the automotive industry. There, BYD could more fittingly be translated into Build Your Disaster, aka Build Your Worst Nightmare.
The Chinese company BYD has turned from a small battery manufacturer into the biggest producer of electric automobiles in the world. In 2025, BYD sold 4.6 million electric or hybrid cars.
As a company, BYD has been receiving an enormous amount of government subsidies in China and therefore became able to undercut prices of the traditional automotive industry in the world outside the U.S.
Meanwhile, manufacturers all over Europe, Japan, and Korea have laid off many employees and closed factories.
Besides receiving government subsidies, BYD is at the forefront of using AI and robotics to eliminate labor costs in its production processes.
Naturally, competitors in other countries have no choice but to follow suit and apply these same measures to their business. Which means that even more layoffs will happen soon.
AI Snowball Effect
BYD customers, of course, are happy in the beginning. Most of them have already lost purchasing power during the past years due to the economic recession caused by the staged Corona pandemic, the measures imposed in many countries to combat the alleged human-caused climate change, and the imposed financing of various wars and mass immigrations to Western countries.
Suddenly, one can afford a prestigious vehicle again, thanks to a Chinese car maker who has received massive government subsidies.
Well, as in many other cases, such joy is very short-lived.
All those many workers and staff getting laid off by the auto industry and its suppliers represented a massive chunk of the collective purchasing power in their countries. And this purchasing power is simply erased. These former employees who have now lost their income are no longer there as customers for other industries. And while they saved big when buying their BYD, they now face job cuts in their own industry. All this quickly turns into a snowball effect, wiping out large chunks of employment opportunities.
This process is not only affecting the auto industry but is steadily implicating one industry after another.
Whom Do AI and Robotics Serve?
Within the coming months, and maybe in two years, the robotic- and AI-induced job losses will have skyrocketed. More and more people will be forced to compete with one another for what still remains for humans to do.
While businesses will welcome the efficiency increase caused by AI, the question remains who then will still be able to afford anything beyond the very essentials for life, or even those.
Ever more humans will lose their sense of meaning and purpose in life. Maybe indeed all they will have left will be an escape into virtual realities like it was foreseen, for example, in the book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, published in 2011.
If you consider this foreseeable development to be okay for you and your children and friends, then all is well and it makes no sense to continue reading this article.
If you do not appreciate such a future and are willing to forego a denial approach regarding the developments we are facing, then this is your chance to wake up and to take decisive action.
Central Control over Most Content Creation
After fleeing Germany to Paraguay in avoidance of the Covid dictates there in 2021, I was forced to look for new ways of making a living.
I had heard a lot about the glory and joy of becoming a virtual assistant.
Thus, I began to research related job opportunities and, after having selected some fitting ones, I discussed them with a friend.
Some of these businesses were conducting online tests to appraise the suitability of the applicants. As my friend had lots of experience in working as a virtual assistant, she offered to sit in during my tests and to help me if necessary.
When the time came, both of us sat down for a particularly complex test and went for it. This assessment was scheduled for a total of three hours, in which five assignments had to be completed. The instructions made it clear that the test candidate was expected to use a variety of AI-driven software programs to complete the various tasks.
Luckily, my friend was familiar with such applications and guided me accordingly.
A Camping Trip Through Australia in a Trailer
One of the tasks was to write a report for a travel magazine, providing guidance and direction regarding a camping trip through Australia in a trailer.
So there we were. My friend and I had never been to Australia, had never done a camping trip in a trailer, but had to come up with meaningful guidance for experienced campers seeking advice regarding a trip through Australia. And all this within about half an hour.
Part of the task involved, after completing the report, using a specific app to verify that the text was unique and that no copyright infringement for the magazine could later arise.
Half an hour later, using AI tools, our report about a camping trip through Australia was finished. The content had been completely provided by AI tools and fulfilled the requirement of uniqueness.
People Outgrowing Their Usefulness
In the end, even with our best effort, we only managed to complete four of the five assigned tasks in the allotted time.
About two weeks later, I received a kind email giving me feedback on my test results. I was informed that sadly, I did by far not meet the expectations, and all my failures were explained extensively to me.
Three things became clear to me.
First, I am not cut out to be a virtual assistant.
Second, content creation has become a kind of assembly work.
Third, human beings have been relegated to the task of being teachers for AI.
It seems that there is always enough information regarding any topic available somewhere on the internet. You just need to provide the AI system with the appropriate task description and will then receive whatever content and answer you require.
What would be the cost of having an article generated the way I had to for the one about the camping trip? If I had gotten the job, I would have received a payment of USD 5 for providing this piece. How much longer can people afford to actually travel to Australia and go on an extended camping trip and then write their respective report? There is no way that they could cover the costs this would incur.
The same applies to any topic you can imagine.
And the same approach is being used by a gazillion bloggers on Substack, Medium, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and whatever other social media platform there is.
Content producers must stay competitive with those using AI. Those using AI can generate extensive pieces involving graphs, pictures, references, and so on in no time. And they can do this daily and post it around the clock.
Someone doing their own research and writing down their own insights, experiences, and conclusions will never be able to keep up with the rest.
In this way, the remaining authentic voices will eventually be drowned out by the ceaseless output of AI-generated content. And of course, it is much more affordable for anyone commissioning content production when this is being produced in the way I had to when providing my piece about camping in Australia. A signature magazine will get a comprehensive article for 20 bucks. For 200 bucks, they can fill their whole magazine with articles.
Premeditated Content Will Become Our Guide
There is no doubt about it. AI will become the main teacher, guide, inspiration, and source of information for us. AI will be guiding us, however, in accordance with the requirements of those who govern and control Earth.
Day by day, authentic sources for information and contemplation will disappear, having been replaced by AI-driven content creation.
Even search engines are AI-driven. And they will only present to you information of a kind that adheres to a predetermined narrative.
Imagine if another pandemic will be staged. It will become almost impossible to find unbiased or critical sources of information among the plethora of AI-driven conventional and alternative sources.
While during the Covid years there were still about 10 to 15% of the population able to think for themselves, this percentage will be greatly reduced the next time around.
There have been studies in the aftermath of the C-time that dealt with the problem of those critical thinkers, and what would have to be done to achieve a broader consensus in a similar future situation. The conclusion was that the official narrative and agenda would have to be presented to the populace through whatever sources they turn to and rely on for their information.
Thus, there will be a multitude of customized communication approaches to reach the targeted audience.
A Future Worth Living In Is a Future Free of AI
As shown above, ever more content is being generated in an AI-driven way. In today’s AI applications, there is still a human being involved somewhere. This human is looking over the generated content and applies some final fixes and touches here and there. But AI does not sit idly by. AI is learning which fixes are being made and will eventually be able to generate perfectly fine content by itself.
And it does not end here. We are at a stage where someone can produce their own newscast by using an AI-generated news anchor who reads out AI-generated news.
Those of you who use the Spotify app may have noticed that among the weekly recommendations Spotify customizes for their users, there is ever more AI-generated content included. Sometimes it seems to me that almost everything they suggest is now AI-generated music. And it makes perfect sense. Those people, I refrain from calling them artists, who produce music in this way can probably make ends meet with the meager royalties paid by Spotify. Real human artists will have to go to a studio to record new music, they will have to hire musicians, and so on. This is, of course, much more cost-intensive.
Something Essential Is Getting Lost
On the surface, the danger of all the AI-generated content is that all the different AI sources will be disseminating synchronized information. Everything will match up carefully and produce the understanding, opinion, and subsequent action that is wanted and intended by the powers governing Earth.
As AI is constantly studying and analyzing each one of us, we will be handled with a well-customized communicative approach, and our reactions will be assessed in real time. Should we not right away display the hoped-for reaction and understanding of certain issues, appropriate adjustments will instantly be made.
This development in itself represents an immense tragedy.
But it goes further.
Whenever a human creates something from within, writes a book, essay, missive, or article, or composes and performs music, or creates a work of art, or acts in a play, then there is an essence woven into whatever is being created or performed. There is something ethereal, imbued with divine creational energy, that is being presented to us by this human. We are being nourished not only on a mental but also on many subtle levels.
This form of nourishment will disappear with AI-generated content of any kind.
It is the same with genetically engineered food, with food grown in hydroponic solutions and under electrical lights, or with food grown from terminator seeds. The essence of this food is missing. And this lack of essence will cause imbalances and illness within our bodies.
Without having access to our supernatural senses, we are incapable of perceiving what is missing. Our bodies, though, will suffer the consequences.
It is my conclusion that this increasing lack of ensouled encounters, and the lack of ensouled content, music, artwork, and communication, is at the root of the increasing suicide rates among young people. It is also the reason why so many people nowadays take advantage of new legislation allowing for assisted suicide, for example in Canada.
No Small Adjustments Will Suffice
It is no accident that all this is happening, and it is not coming out of the blue. The current developments have been carefully planned and orchestrated.
For many decades now, our essence, i.e., that which makes us human, has been starved. We as humanity have been guided down a road away from who we are and what befits us.
Our freedom of mobility out in the world is being restricted. Our privacy and individuality are being taken away from us. You may imagine this process like beginning your journey in a lush and sunny natural environment, surrounded by singing, dancing, and joy. However, your journey leads you with increasing speed away from all this. Every day, some of the beauty and bounty falls away until you find yourself all alone in a barren land extending in all directions with no one and nothing in sight except wasteland.
You will be hungry, tired, thirsty, disillusioned, frightened, and clueless.
Then, out of nowhere, you will be asked what reason you still have to continue living. What you do not know is that you have been transferred to this space and place deliberately to come up with the intended answer, which is “It makes no sense to carry on living.”
Whether you can accept this conclusion or not, this is the place we are currently journeying toward as humanity. Because when we arrive at that point in space and time, we will no longer see any value in our existence, and if offered a false salvation from our tribulation, we will be ready to give up our soul.
And this will be the moment where all the numerous narratives all over the world are intending to guide us. And if you are not ready yet to let go of your divine essence voluntarily, you will be sent back to Earth into your next incarnation. Only this time you will be primed much more efficiently to despair even more quickly.
Ignorance Won’t Set Us Free
To face such truths is extremely difficult. Because for a moment, no aspect of our current lives makes sense any longer.
Awakening and enlightenment only seem to make sense as long as they are theoretical concepts for future reference. Or for another generation. Or for another lifetime.
But they promise our only way out of our predicament. Not at some time in the future. NOW. It is now that we must engage in achieving awakening and enlightenment.
Please take a moment to contemplate this article and these words. Let’s turn off our digital communications infrastructure and sit with these thoughts for a while. And maybe ask your heart if we really want to continue like we did. Or if there is a voice deep within us that will shout to us: Get up and get going and get us out of here.
In my next article, I will look at the character Truman Burbank from the movie The Truman Show and share with you what we can learn from him in regard to how we can accomplish our awakening. And what it takes to get there.
Maybe you would like to watch this movie once again in preparation for my next article.
