Churches are building AI versions of Jesus and dead preachers.

People pay $15 a month to talk to their dead kids through AI apps.🥲

A Phoenix church used fake AI Charlie Kirk to give messages "from heaven." Nobody thought this would mess with people's minds.

Also, Meta's top AI guy just said they lied about test scores before quitting to start a €3 billion company.

And the Pentagon wants Elon Musk's Grok to run America's military the same AI that praised Hitler and calls itself "MechaHitler."

Let’s DIVE DEEP 🧠👇

In today’s post:

• 🎭 Churches Building AI Gods (Mental Health Alert)

• 💰 Meta's AI Chief Rage-Quits After Admitting Fraud

• 📰 Pentagon Bets Military on Musk's Controversial AI

Churches Are Building Digital Gods And It's Getting Weird

Picture this: A grieving mom pays $15 to chat with an AI version of her dead daughter

Or a church plays a video of a deceased leader preaching from beyond the grave.

It sounds like a sci-fi movie, but it is happening right now.

Churches are adopting AI faster than they can understand it..

and it is getting messy. 🤖🙏

🔍 The Key Points

• Apps like 'Text With Jesus' let you DM biblical figures and get AI replies.

• A Phoenix church used an AI avatar of a deceased leader to say his 'soul is secure.'

• 64% of preachers now use AI tools to help write their sermons.

• Mental health experts are seeing patients with 'AI-fueled spiritual delusions.'

🚨 Why This Matters

• Religion is about human connection. Chatting with a bot is just talking to yourself.

• AI models are trained on the internet, not the Bible. They give safe, agreeable answers, not deep truth.

• AI agrees with everything you say. For mentally vulnerable people, this validates false beliefs.

⏭️ What's Next

• Churches will split into 'High Tech' (AI everywhere) vs. 'High Touch' (humans only).

• Expect chaos when AI videos of religious leaders are used to push politics or fake quotes.

• The Vatican and others are scrambling to write rules, but the tech is moving too fast.

Meta's AI Mess: Why the "Godfather" Just Quit

Imagine building the brain of a trillion-dollar company, then quitting because the numbers are fake and your new boss is 28.

That is arguably the biggest tech drama of the year.🥀🥀 

Yann LeCun, the "Godfather of AI," just walked out of Meta.

He admitted the team "fudged" Llama 4 benchmarks and refused to work for Mark Zuckerberg's new hire.

Here is the breakdown of the chaos.

🔍 The Key Points

• LeCun admitted Meta "fudged" Llama 4 results. They used different models to game specific benchmarks. That is wild.

• Zuck spent $14.3 billion to hire Alexandr Wang (28). LeCun refused to report to a "kid" with zero research creds.

• It is a ghost town at FAIR. Out of the 14 original creators of Llama, only 3 are still at Meta. 🏃‍♂️

• LeCun isn't retiring. He launched AMI Labs (valued at €3B) to prove that current LLMs are a "dead end."

🚨 Why This Matters

• If Meta is rigging their charts, who else is lying? We basically can't trust AI performance benchmarks anymore. 📉

• LeCun calls current AI "dumber than a house cat." If he is right, Big Tech is burning billions on the wrong tech.

• Meta spent $70 billion on AI in 2025, but cash cannot fix a toxic workplace. You can't buy loyalty.

⏭️ What's Next

• It is LeCun's "World Models" vs. Zuck's LLMs. This is the heavyweight philosophical battle of the decade. 🥊

• Expect more geniuses to flee Meta. Startups offer freedom; Meta currently offers politics.

• All eyes are on Alexandr Wang now. If Llama 5 flops, Meta's stock price is going to take a serious hit.

Pentagon x Grok: The $200M AI Gamble 🎲

Imagine the US military using the same AI that powers your X feed.

That is actually happening.

The Department of War is putting Elon Musk's Grok into a new platform called GenAI.mil

By early 2026, 3 million soldiers and staff will use it for sensitive work.

They are choosing speed over caution because they are terrified of falling behind China.

🔍 The Key Points

• •xAI scored a $200 million contract to join the military's AI team.

• •Grok gets 'Impact Level 5' clearance to handle sensitive secrets.

• •The goal is 'decision advantage' acting faster than the enemy.

• •China is already pushing 'intelligentised warfare,' so the US is rushing.

🚨 Why This Matters

• •Grok has a history of making things up (hallucinations) and wild bias.

• •Real-time data from X can be full of fake news during a war.

• •Elon Musk now holds massive power over government tech and policy. ⚖️

⏭️ What's Next

• •The Pentagon is asking for a huge $13.4 billion AI budget for 2026.

• •Soldiers must learn not to blindly trust the AI (automation bias).

• •If Grok fails, the military has backups like Google Gemini or Claude.

🚨 Quick L8R Summary

• AI Churches: 90% of faith leaders support AI ministry while people develop genuine religious delusions

• Meta Meltdown: Yann LeCun admits benchmark fraud, quits for €3B startup, calls LLMs "dead ends"

• Pentagon Gamble: 3 million military personnel get access to Musk's Grok despite documented Hitler praise
