Col. Drew Miller is a Harvard-educated former Pentagon analyst now committed to helping Americans survive what he believes will be a total breakdown of society<\/p>\n
The U.S. government is obsessed with taking down the government of Iran and the reason they repeatedly give for this obsession is that \u201cIran can never have a nuclear weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n
That mantra is repeated so often by President Trump that it almost seems like an attempt at mass hypnosis or mind control.<\/p>\n
A retired U.S. Air Force colonel is warning Americans of the potential for artificial intelligence to cause a systematic collapse of civilization as we know it. He, too, is concerned about a weapon of mass destruction, but in his analysis the threat is more likely to come from a rogue entity or even an individual than it is from a nationstate like Iran.<\/p>\n
Col. Drew Miller is plugged into the prepper community and says AI is definitely on his radar as a triggering mechanism that could lead to collapse. Miller is also author of the book, Preparing to Survive in the Age of Collapse<\/a>, <\/em><\/strong>which is billed as a survival blueprint to make it through what potentially lies ahead.<\/p>\n The book offers advice on how to survive the coming collapse, positing that the risk of collapse is rising rapidly, driven by six trends.<\/p>\n I would only add that the most dangerous \u201cbad actors\u201d are within our own government, including those at the highest levels. To his credit, Miller does stress that \u201cunconstitutional\u201d and \u201cirresponsible government\u201d is another main driver pushing us toward collapse.<\/p>\n All of this leads the colonel to believe \u201ccollapse is not just possible, but inevitable.\u201d<\/p>\n Miller appeared on the YouTube podcast Fortified Ranch Survival Community<\/a><\/strong> and also participated in a recently released study of AI threats put out by the Collapse Survival Institute<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n He said forecast models currently put the chance of a broad-based societal collapse at anywhere from 16 percent to 57 percent, depending on which model you want to believe.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s highly uncertain, it\u2019s inherently uncertain, but it is not low,\u201d he said of the collapse models. \u201cAnd as AI tools multiply and grow in power, this probability of collapse will rise.\u201d<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to remember, he added, \u201cthat regardless of whether it\u2019s for limited tool AI, or super intelligence AGI, the biggest threat is probably not the AI system deciding to do bad things, but bad people using AI to create new weapons of mass destruction. And again, current AI, you can be sure it\u2019s already being misused to develop deadly new viruses, new weapons, new poisons, easier ways to enrich uranium to make nuclear weapons, and brand-new types of weapons of mass destruction that we can\u2019t even think of today. And unfortunately, with our irresponsible bad government, there\u2019s no controls on AI.\u201d<\/p>\n You can watch the entire 17-minute interview below.<\/p>\n\n
