I have three comments. 
The first is what was stated in the video might explain the verses below.
Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.
Mark 13:20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
The second is that while the idea of AI at first while dangerous it was only dangerous
because of who was writing the programs. Now that we decided for AI
to learn by itself, what is it learning and who is it learning from? It is learning from us and what we create. Here is the problem. It is not only learning about our good but also about our bad. So all of the bad things we do
are becoming choices for AI. You know like how we try and teach our children only the good from us, but our children also see the bad we do. So since AI is now learning everything we do and create, it can choose for itself without our permission to do bad.
The third is that Satan has tricked us to be
so reliant on technology that we can't shut it down. We are already past the point of no return so to speak. This is why the Rapture is our only hope!
Thanks Goodboy. Things are looking pretty crazy. And getting more crazy by the day. I don't know brother if you might be familiar with Thinking Out Loud Youtube channel? Likely you are. It had been posted quite a bit at JDF, and I think I have seen some of it here too in CFF. Bro. Chooch recently came out with a 20 minute video saying that he is seriously thinking about taking his channel down if there is no rapture by 2027. Because, in his own words, he would not feel sane anymore...lol. And to come visit him in a psyche ward...lol. That guy can be pretty funny. I think we all feel his pain. Amen.
I too often pray to be raptured. Just last night I asked the Lord, "Can't we just be raptured now?" lol. So I hear you brother with bells on. Amen. Perhaps there is something to consider in the thought of God making the days short in all of this. I have not generally thought of that term in relation to the rapture. But it would make sense in His character that it totally might apply. Because of who He is. And because of His word He has shared with us. Amen. Thanks brother for the consideration. This is something worthy to meditate upon even. Amen.

I had to check Mark 13 because sometimes the gospels can do some interesting things where they may express things slightly differently from one another. But what for me will be I believe a helpful spiritual exercise would be to consider His character seen in these verses toward us entering the Tribulation Twlighlight Zone porch.
Mark 13 seems to track in linear fashion as Matt 24 does. So, in that sense I would generally track with its placement at midpoint +. But I think we could all say that God has certainly made end times bang zone apparent to the church who is awake. And we know this by watching. We see all manner of end times approaching unfolding all around us in unmistakable ways. AI development certainly as one of them.
I'm interested to see what Hollie posted in the podcast in this thread and her meaning of encouragement there. But for now, my mention of AI in this context was just pointing out how it would seem that, although monstrous things are becoming available and possible through far advanced AI (perhaps this has something to do with the image of the beast even speaking), the AI development race of late seems to be as much as a national survival issue as much as it might be considered to draw our focus to its more nefarous potential. I brought this up because biblically we know where it can ultimate go with what is on the horizon for this world. But in the short term, although motives of individual crafters will vary, what is occuring with AI development race seems (at least in America) would seem to be on some reasonable levels for national security and societal protection purposes. Like American not falling pray to China should they get an upper AI hand kind of thing. Although it is not always easy to downplay the evil side of AI (because there is obviously much super reasonable concern of its evil potential in the hands of nefarious players), my little thread in respect to the video was that there is one...or some...understandable and reasonable focus America has in developing it. Granted, it is easy to miss in light of just how much can (and as we know, will) go wrong. But in part, this might be perhaps an application too of God's character toward the age of grace in His "shortening days" kindness overture. And although the days seem to have already been long, lol, for sure, maybe the mirroring sentiment of His kind intentions toward even a wayward world (and especially believers) in Matt 24 and Mark 13, for us, might be in the sense of Western free societies not being dominated by China, Russia, and the more communist oreinted governmental ideoloiges.
And even though we in America have also seen a taste of real-world totalitarian moves upon a culture (such as the whole COVID ordeal), and other Western countries like the EU and the pressure those societies live under with hate speech laws, the West still has a monichar of freedom in measure compared to the not so free world ideologies. And in that, it would be good if God might use at least in the short term America in part to stay back the title wave of totilariansim in relation to rule and AI. Perhaps in part that could be an application of similar mercy for us in the age of grace found even in the most harshest tribulation periods (that even in looming harshness of our here and now in the age of grace, we still though see His gracious heart of making days, hopefully shortened, more bearable). But I would imagine there to be more to it than that. That a sense of shortened days in comparison to not dragging things out so much it makes Bro. Chooch enroll into a looney bin. lol. I think dear brother, there might be something there. Amen. It is encouraging to consider for sure.

By the way, thanks Goodboy for your helpful backdrop info regarding Quiz problem 5 in your quiz thread. What you sent helped. But deduction is certainly a cherished perspective. And not always apparent. I can start to see now how apparent. But still need a bit more time for it to sink in where I transcend the tendency in my own heart to go with softer answers (unfortunatley) lol...
