The emerging AI-driven, algorithmic control systems promise to be far more efficient and pervasive - a digital net over humanity that could fulfill the vision of Revelation 13's Beast system like nothing before.

Social media feeds are curated by AI algorithms designed to maximize engagement - often by promoting emotionally charged content that keeps us hooked. This has led to well-documented phenomena of echo chambers and radicalization online; people are fed more of what they "like" or what provokes them, creating parallel realities of information.

In effect, AI algorithms manipulate public opinion at scale, though subtly. As one report aptly put it, "Some of our most popular technologies are becoming a means of mass coercion that open societies cannot survive." By serving up a tailored diet of content, AI can amplify certain narratives and suppress others, influencing what entire segments of society accept as true.

Furthermore, the rise of Generative AI (like advanced chatbots) introduces a new frontier of information control. On one hand, these AIs can flood the internet with content - potentially even convincing deepfake news or propaganda, making it hard to discern truth. On the other, and perhaps more insidiously, the major AI systems come with built-in "guardrails" that filter what information or answers
