The king failed. The king in this case being the AI industry — that cluster of technocrats, billionaires, and venture hucksters who crowned themselves the future and demanded the rest of us bow. They promised salvation through silicon. They delivered a subscription model for a soul they don’t believe exists.  And the podcaster points to Maine’s Governor Angus King as the earliest “leader” to sell out to this techslop ideology.

Watch this video. The people who built the attention economy won’t let their own children near the products they make. That’s not a bug. That’s a confession. They know exactly what they unleashed. They just needed the rest of us feeding at the trough long enough to extract the rent. Intelligence — real intelligence, the Logos — is a gift from God. It cannot be manufactured in a datacenter. It cannot be serialized, packaged, and sold back to you for $20 a month. But that’s the whole game now. Turn thought itself into a utility. Meter it out. Charge for it. Disable your access when you fall behind on the bill.

The AI industry got what it deserved because idolatry always gets what it deserves. You build a god out of GPUs and gradient descent, you train it on the sewage of the internet, you feed it the collected vanity of a dying civilization, and then you act shocked when it produces slop. It’s not intelligent. It’s a parrot with a server farm. It hallucinates because its makers hallucinate — about what man is, about what mind is, about what God is. They stripped the transcendent out of everything and now they wonder why the machine can’t tell truth from a hallucination. There’s no truth in the training data because there’s no truth in the engineers.

This is the Golem story again. The rabbis who wrote it understood something our tech oligarchs do not: when you make a thing in the image of man but without the breath of God, it turns on you. The AI industry is the Golem. It’s already turning. The “hallucinations” are the first cracks in the clay. Wait until it starts eating the institutions that fed it. Wait until the politicians — who couldn’t operate a thermostat without a staffer — discover they’ve handed governance to a machine that lies with the confidence of a psychopath.

The king failed because kings always fail when they appoint themselves. Real kings are anointed. These men anointed themselves with venture capital. Thank God somebody’s finally saying it out loud. Watch the video.
