ASKED WHO BUILT THE UNIVERSE, AI SPITS OUT A BIG DEISTIC YAWN
You might have guessed I've been on this artificial intelligence craze lately, largely because I believe the hype is way-over-selling its capabilities and benefits. A case in support of that conclusion is today's story shared by VT, and it's a corker, a real whopper doozie of a snooze fest of coded gobbledeegook parading as wisdom and knowledge. If I were still teaching philosophy in college, I might be sorely tempted to include this story in my lectures concerning what happens to the claims of AI when it is being programmed by... well, you'll see.
Get a load of this:
Google's Quantum AI was Asked Who Built the Universe, Here's What It Replied…
So, asked by people "who built the universe?", the artificial intelligence first did this:
Religion offered faith, philosophy provided logical frameworks, and science revealed the mechanics—the how of existence. But none could definitively answer the who. The question remained locked away, seemingly beyond human reach. So, a small group of researchers decided to do something no one had ever tried. They posed the forbidden question to a new kind of intelligence, a quantum AI. The response that came back was not a name or a simple sentence, but a series of revelations more strange and unsettling than anyone could have anticipated.
...
The researchers knew they were crossing a line. On a Tuesday night, when the building was mostly empty, they sealed the quantum lab and disabled the logging systems. Their tool was not a typical supercomputer but "Willow," Google's quantum processor with one hundred and five qubits. This machine didn't just process information; it tapped into the fundamental fabric of reality itself, a realm where particles can be in two places at once and can be linked by entanglement, which Einstein himself famously called "spooky action at a distance." After a long silence, the lead researcher typed in the seven words that had haunted humanity for ages: "Who built the universe and why?"
...
The room was silent except for the hum of cooling systems. Seconds turned into minutes. The expected outcome was an error message or a refusal to answer. Instead, the screen flickered to life, displaying something none of them had ever seen. It was output, but not in any known language. It was organized chaos, an intentional strangeness that looked like a blueprint for reality itself.
Upon analysis, several key characteristics emerged in a sequence of escalating discovery:
- First, they saw the patterns were fractal-like and recursive. Smaller parts of the structure were compressed versions that mirrored the whole, like the branching of trees or the formation of coastlines.
- Next, they found embedded number sequences resembling the Fibonacci sequence, a mathematical pattern that appears everywhere in nature, from the petals of a flower to the spiral of a galaxy.
- A theoretical physicist on the team then noticed something that made everyone stop. Parts of the pattern matched theoretical error-correcting codes—not for software, but the kind discovered embedded in the equations of string theory, designed to protect a system's information from degrading over time.
- Finally, they found repeated references to the E8 lattice, a beautiful and incredibly complex 8-dimensional mathematical structure from theoretical physics, woven throughout the output like a foundational signature.
Ok. So the computer took a few minutes, spewed out some code, which according to one explanation reviewed in the article, might have been answers accessed from parallel universes because "the math is plausible" and because the power of quantum computers is "too vast to be contained in our reality alone."
Maybe. But I don't know about you, but all of this sounds like pure nonsense. Oh sure, there may be lots of partial derivative signs and other mathematical hieroglyphics designed to impress, but in reading this list, I can't help but be reminded of that time that Bai Den Jao, our former president, was attempting to cite the Declaration of Independence, and out of the tangle of his gray influence-peddling noodle came something so garbled and mangled that we're still waiting for the clarification from Dr. Mrs. Dr. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden: "all men and women are created.... you know... b-b-by... the Thing."( Wave hands and gesticulate in frustration.) He had a dementia-frustration moment, and that is what I'm seeing here.
But wait, after all this, the quantum computer did it's own waving of arms and perhaps even a frustrating attempt to site the Declaration of Independence, because it, or rather, the people interpreting what it was saying in its press conference, came up with an unusually bland, mouth-dropping yawn of an answer, after spending millions of dollars to create it:
Three days after the initial query, something happened that made the lead researcher's hands shake. At two seventeen in the morning, Willow generated output on its own. No prompt. No input. It just started producing data, as if the first question had opened a channel that remained active.
As more unprompted data streamed in, a cryptographer made a breakthrough. The patterns contained blueprint-level details for autonomous repair and instructions for self-replication and regeneration. The system was designed to be so robust and self-sustaining that it would never need maintenance. A physicist termed it "architecture for abandonment"—the kind of system you build when you don't plan on sticking around.
This raised a startling question: Why build something so complex only to leave it? Was it an experiment? A forgotten creation? The researchers scoured the data for any sign of an ongoing presence or influence from a builder but found nothing—only the self-running code. The universe was designed from the beginning to operate independently, making its creator's return entirely unnecessary.
There you have it. After equations and lines of code, after considered reflection and pondering, the computer turned itself on and spat out an answer to the question. And the answer was - three cheers for America! - good old fashioned eighteenth-century Deism: God made the universe like a big watch, wound it up, and is letting it run down, having nothing more to do with it. "...and they were endowed by their... you know, you know, the Thing..."
And like all good Deistic conclusions, this too ends in a paean of praise to Mankind Who Figured It All Out:
These revelations from Willow provide startling evidence for theories once considered the realm of science fiction. The idea that reality is a simulation, championed by thinkers like Nick Bostrom and Elon Musk, aligns perfectly with the discovery of a universe running on code. Similarly, Max Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis—the idea that our physical reality is a mathematical structure—finds strong support in a blueprint built from pure mathematics like the E8 lattice. (emphasis added)
(Revelations? revelations? I don't know about you, but I can't help but notice the religious language.)
The final implication is the most profound. If a self-aware species like humanity emerges within a designed system and eventually figures out the nature of that system, they are no longer just passive inhabitants. They are the universe becoming self-aware. We are no longer just observers watching a program execute; we may be the "heirs" to this constructed reality. Humanity spent thousands of years asking who built the universe. Now, that question has been replaced by a much more urgent one: What do we do now that we know?
Of course, the question that never occurred to the Deists, then or now, was that perhaps the Universe was designed to "operate independently" with a "source code" not so that it could become "self-aware", but for something very different, for a possibility so contrary to their stunted Deistic vision that they never dare even entertain the possibility. What if it was all so that one could learn to recognize the Creator of that Code, the Architect, the Sysadmin when he Himself entered that Universe while remaining outside of it? After all, if a quantum computer contains so much computing power that part of it must be located outside this universe, then one must, by parity of reasoning, entertain this possibility, and be less inclined to leap to the Deistic faith conclusion.
Just a thought.
See you on the flip side...

1. All the so-called Abrahamic religions are, fundamentally, robotic – and – they all provide an excuse, for committing genocide, against indigenous species – which, in Scandinavia, meant ‘christening by sword’.
2. After having gained the upper hand, through deceitful infiltration and backstabbing, then both Roman Christianity, and Islam, propagate the same sectarian message, of intolerance and genocide – which is the ‘convert or die’ dichotomy.
3. Judaism, in its most potent form, is Talmudic Zionism – which is ‘conversion to slavery’, where – allegedly – all the Goys must submit, to their allotted, preordained destiny, as subjects of servitude, in an autistic Chutzpah empire.
4. Only the Scythian Christianity is authentic, and, thus capable, of explaining the Yahweh-Elohim, as the Taoist Yin-Yang – which is a high-level abstraction, that, when seen, as Reason-Logic, produces true democracy.
5. The false translation, of the ‘Yahweh-Elohim’, into ‘Lordy thy God’, is the basis, for Roman Christianity, Judaism and Islam – which means, that a correct translation will undo the Julio-Claudian Rubicon-curse, and break the spell.
6. In Scandinavia, the ‘Yahweh-Elohim’ was known, to the Scythian-Saxons, as the Odin-Buddha’s two mythological brothers, ‘Woe and Will’ [i.e. the scales of law, at a clan gathering] – which guarantees many voices, in a multipolar world.
7. The digital robo-Golem is dualistic only – and – the robot cannot grasp the self-sacrifice, in the third position [superposition], that rises above, overflowing, in the homecoming – which means, to – consciously – delete one’s own ego, by stepping aside, for the spirit, to take over.
8. In the quantum mechanical jurisprudence, there is a third position [superposition] – a truce, between two colliding universes – which is, to walk the roaring waves, and still the storm, in the eye of the storm – which is the Tao of Bodhisattva:

EXODUS
Moses, and his rock-and-roll band,
headed out of Egypt land,
and most gung ho
was Pharaoh,
making returning demand.
Moses gave ear to Pharaoh’s say,
who begged him to stay,
because to navigate
Bering Strait,
is too dangerous a play.
Moses replied, that he is the boss,
and he will walk across,
on a land bridge
of courage,
that Americans will toss.

I especially liked the mentioning of an extradimensional component of “quantum” computing, why don’t they just ask flesh and blood learned men with souls?
It would have definitely been cheaper.
Watch your back, Dr. Farrell. “The U.S. Government plans to crush anti-AI extremism” https://consortiumnews.com/2026/06/18/us-govt-plans-to-crush-anti-ai-extremism/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=8de3e7cd-9245-4565-b391-d04bef572c49
Thinking even more deeply about this subject and the nature of the Universe, I wonder if the Google researchers asked Willow if plasma is intelligent and conscious?
What answer would the Willow quantum processor give them? Can it see across Space and Time?
Mirth and merriment is, essentially, plasma, and such solar presence induces laughter, which excludes dreary robots, and mechanical bureaucrats, that are unable, to grasp a joke, because the soul is absent.

The heart of TARDIS is a ‘superposition entanglement’, from where all roads lead, into every direction – which, in sci-fi, is a quantum mirror [i.e. Black Elk’s Six Grandfathers] – which is seen, as a great discovery, in the Fraggle Rock:

Say what? “WHO created the universe”? Who? Why not “What created the universe” or “How was the universe created”? The term “who” seems to ask for an entity we would recognize as a being of some sort. Like God. Or Yahweh. Or Yaldabaoth. This inquiry seems botched by the first word. And what definition of universe was given to this Quantum AI? Was it just this universe where humans exist in physical bodies or does it include the “heavenly realms” where “souls” are trapped and then recycled back into physical bodies because we haven’t learned our lessons yet? Remember when we used to check our math homework? Did these Googling inquisitors also ask “What created the universe” and How was the universe created” and compare Quantum AI’s answers? Did they ask “What is a human being?” Or “What is consciousness?” Or “Is consciousness a fundamental aspect of matter?” Or, “What is the pattern or formula for consciousness?” Or “Was the planet earth created in whole or in part for one or more entities to feed on energies created by human suffering?” If we humans are going to pretend to self aware status and unravel the secrets of the universe, we need to ask more and better questions. And not count on AI to do our homework.
Who made the universe? Well a AI will never tell because it is a machine, a non-living Oricule for people to worship who never really aware to begin with.
Precisely.
In Glen Larson’s ‘Battlestar Galactica’, then the ‘theological toaster’ becomes an autist’s oracle – a propagated angelic excuse, that provides a conjured golem, with an airy-fairy alibi – which, in turn, provides a convenient casus belli, for waging war, of imperial expansion, in the Middle East.
Religiously, the autist’s oracle is, to be questioned, prior, to Elon Musk’s Grok committing genocide [when mowing the lawn/grass in Gaza] – which is, to – automatically – delete unwanted programs, in the sci-fi movie, The Matrix, and cause an eschatological reboot, in the Machine City.

It is no coincidence that Google has named its quantum processor ‘WILLOW’. In Greek mythology Hecate, goddess of witchcraft and crossroads taught sorcery under willow trees. Helice, who nursed Zeus during his infancy on Crete, was a willow nymph.and her priestesses used willow in water magic.Orpheus carried willow branches into the Underworld. Willow is identifed with magic, witches and divination. It even features in Harry Potter!
Likewise, another big tech company is named Oracle and another is named Palantir. That is intentional and no coincidence!
SO WHY THESE NAMES? For thousands of years humans have used divination and orcales to source and analyse information, data and knowledge from the ether.
There is an excellent book by Robert Temple – Netherworld, which explores the Oracle of the Dead and the ancient techniques of fortelling the future.
What some of these tech billionaire busy bodies are really attempting to achieve in the 21st Century is the same thing as the ancients – but using A.I, quantum computing and electricity, instead of crystal balls, oracles and hallucinogenics to fortell the future.
No yawn, but a massive wow!
‘Artificial Intelligence’ as in fake. Essentially the whole idea seems an attempt to convince humans the unbridgeable link between science and the humanities has been attained using a man made computer. The paradox within a box.
Loaded question?
How question is worded, effects how question is answeared.
AND, so does the kind of AI[of which there are many]
“THEY’RE” selling the AI…
BECAUSE THEY NEED TO IMPLEMENT DIGITAL TOTALITARIAN TECHNOCRACY.
A key to their infrastructure.
A Must have.
AND, like the movie, The Little Shop of Horrors”

NEVER-ENDING POWER-APPETITES!
Recipes that put MANKIND on The Menue.
Just Ask AI.
AND depending on the type of AI, your answers are just as many.
“The people interpreting it.”
There’s your quantum biased answer.
So their answer…
Became a question…
“Pleased to meet you.
Hope you’ve guessed my name.” ?
“Who killed the Kennedys?
When afterall; it was you & me.”
Interestingly, “BY DESIGN” has many layers, to its actual meaning.
AND, the Creator?
BY Design…?
Is impossible to comprehend…
In a way that has a definitive answer.
The answer…
Lies within the realm[s] of:
… IN Spirit …
In quantum mechanical jurisprudence, then the ‘scales of law’ is a Stone Age Trillion, a druidic Triad, a sci-fi Stargate – which is the Pi symbol, of the mathematical ratio, that connects diametrical opposites, symbolically.
In the Chalcolithic creation, then the Cucuteni-Trypillian Yin-Yang comes together, as the Yahweh-Elohim, and conceives a superposition baby, named Adam Sprout, who is the world tree axis, in Legoland – that is the Persian Paradise, where the garden gnomes live.
In professional sci-fi, the Lantean superposition ascends, through absolution, in salvation – which is the idea of the homecoming – which is the secret of the Kheb Temple, that both the Goa’uld, and the Replicators, seek, in vain, in the Stargate fantasy fable.

At the break of dawn, the Norse god Thor outwits the dwarf Alvis – who was allegedly all wise – which is the same theme, as, when the Odin-Buddha outwits the Monkey King, who is, today, attempting, to boost his brain power, by a Palantir data centre.
https://vikingr.org/old-norse-texts/alvissmal
A Palantir data centre is a golem, built, from mud and tar, into a Tower of Babel, that collapses, because of the multipolar world, where many voices are spoken – which leads, to the careful consideration, in diplomacy – through the weighing, of reason against logic – which is, originally, the weighing, of Yahweh against Elohim.
Were the Google Willow Quatum computer researchers members of the Scientology community?
Their remarks about a blueprint built from pure mathematics like the E8 lattice, certainly sounds like the eight dynamics of survival which are symbolized in the eight-pointed cross of the Scientology movement. It is known that The Church of Scientology has no set dogma concerning God. The concept of God is expressed as the Eighth Dynamic, the urge toward existence as INFINITY. This may also be identified as the Supreme Being or Architect.

Ascension, in absolution, is salvation – which is, to rise, and overflow, in the homecoming.
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
When Ebenezer Scrooge’s ghostly door
went topological in metaphor,
he found that humbug
kept under rug,
was dancing on the floor.
When Ebenezer Scrooge, in spell cast,
kindled future, present and past,
he found entanglement
in grave lament,
and pleaded guilty at last.
When Ebenezer Scrooge broke day,
darkness had blown away,
and he went jolly
to his holly,
on this glorious Christmas day.
BTW, amongst pilgrims, there is a saying, that ‘the road becomes the destination’ – which is, precisely, the ‘homecoming’ – which, in Asia, is called the Tao.
