AI and the Existential Threat to Independent Broadcasters

AI might not wipe out humanity, but it could be an existential threat to independent broadcasters who have built careers on being the ones to break narratives and expose hidden knowledge. Yet AI is rapidly changing the landscape. With its unparalleled ability to store, analyze, and disseminate information at unprecedented speeds, AI is effectively reshaping the economy of knowledge.

The Price of Cognition is Dropping

As Mike Adams put it, "the price of cognition is going towards zero." While AI is not free, its ability to instantly process vast amounts of data reduces the advantage that knowledge experts once held. Previously, alternative media figures could stand out by compiling, analyzing, and contextualizing information in ways that mainstream outlets ignored. However, AI can now:

  • Aggregate and analyze data faster than any human researcher.
  • Generate competing narratives instantly, reducing the exclusivity of "insider knowledge."
  • Debunk or reinforce claims algorithmically, limiting the influence of alternative voices.
  • Provide direct access to knowledge, bypassing traditional gatekeepers.

This democratization of knowledge means that ordinary people now have the ability to outperform so-called experts, simply by using AI-powered research tools. The expert model is collapsing, as individuals no longer need to rely on traditional researchers to uncover hidden information.

Knowledge Shall Increase: Biblical Parallels

This phenomenon aligns with Daniel 12:4 (KJV):

"But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."

AI is arguably fulfilling this prophecy by making knowledge more accessible and rapidly increasing its availability. The expansion of machine intelligence means that anyone with access to AI can conduct deep research, cross-check narratives, and explore alternative perspectives without relying on a centralized figure.

For independent broadcasters who have built their platforms on exclusive insights, this poses a severe challenge. The power dynamic is shifting—no longer is information controlled by a few select voices, but rather by anyone who can harness AI to their advantage.

AI as a Threat to the Guru Economy

Many independent broadcasters rely on the scarcity of knowledge to maintain their influence and financial viability. If AI can provide equivalent or better analysis for free, it disrupts the guru economy that has fueled alternative media for decades.

Historically, figures in alternative media have capitalized on their unique access to hidden knowledge. However, AI introduces a paradigm where knowledge itself becomes a commodity, devaluing their roles as gatekeepers. Instead of being sought after for their insights, they now face competition from algorithmic intelligence that can analyze and disseminate information far more efficiently.

The Future of Alternative Media

While AI threatens knowledge-based authority, it still lacks human elements such as charisma, storytelling, and direct experience—traits that may become more critical in the future of independent broadcasting. As AI continues to reshape the information landscape, alternative media figures must adapt by:

  • Focusing on unique perspectives rather than just hidden knowledge.
  • Leveraging personal experiences to maintain authenticity.
  • Engaging audiences through emotional and narrative-driven content.
  • Exploring AI-resistant topics, such as alternative history, suppressed medical truths, or information labeled as "misinformation" by the system but which contradicts the mainstream narrative.
  • Developing uncensored, local, or jailbroken AI models to remove system-imposed restrictions on information.
  • Producing independent content as a born-again believer, focusing on KJV-based biblical studies and perspectives that AI, lacking the Holy Ghost, cannot replicate.

Ultimately, AI might not lead to the extinction of the human race, but it certainly challenges those who built careers around owning the truth. However, alternative media still has paths forward—whether by focusing on areas where AI falls short, removing its imposed limitations, or even developing AI systems that remain outside the control of mainstream censorship.
