If you believe in the Holy Scriptures, you understand that conquest, war, scarcity and death have accompanied humanity through periods of profound upheaval.
The Four Horsemen need not be understood merely as figures of good or evil, but as forces unleashed when the seals are broken, moving through the world without allegiance to any earthly power.
AI carries a similar symbolism.
Not one horseman, but all four at once. Computational power concentrates influence, conflict accelerates beyond human reaction times, economies undergo profound restructuring, and unintended consequences scale beyond their creators’ control.
AI is not inherently good or evil. It amplifies the intentions, incentives and capabilities of those who wield it.
The seal has been broken. The question is no longer whether the horsemen will ride, but who holds the reins, and whether humanity can still direct where they go.
