Obviously we are looking at very different data to come to these very different conclusions. It is a waste of time to debate this. If I am right you will know by Christmas that the Antichrist system is in full swing.
According to the bible the Antichrist comes to power when the Beast is rising out of the sea. Already AI, Drones, and robots are rising out of the nations. The Bible doesn't say they have "risen" but are rising. At the moment I suspect the army with AI, drones and robots can beat any human army without them. This also is what the Bible says "who can war with them". There is a very clear progression, AI is able to perform a function, then a company buys it, trains it, and replaces that job with robots and AI. We are now seeing fortune 500 companies laying off 5-10% of their workers as they are in the "train the AI" phase. This phase generally takes three months. So the layoffs should really pick up after Christmas.
There is no path to avoid this. Rather, you only have one choice, receive Jesus Christ as your savior or take the mark of the beast so you can eat gruel until you go to hell.
