“Antichrist lectures are the hot new thing in Silicon Valley, but so far they’ve honestly been kind of disappointing. Some people are giving entire lecture series without even revealing who the Antichrist is! You’d expect that to be the bare minimum! We can do better. Earlier this year, at the Manifest forecasting conference in Berkeley, I gave a presentation titled ‘Forecasting Transformative AI Using The Book Of Revelation.’ Given the renewed interest in this topic, I repost it below, in written form, with slight edits. The first two-thirds, including the section on the Antichrist, is free. In deference to the injunction by prior researchers on this topic not to ‘cast one’s pearls before swine,’ the last third (including the Whore of Babylon, the Battle of Armageddon, and the New Jerusalem) will be paywalled.” (10/22/25)
