By charging $3,499 for a souped-up headset, Apple is telling us exactly what the Vision Pro is. This isn’t a toy for normal people. It’s a dystopian device for a dystopian world.

The 1999 movie Revelation 2: Apocalypse showed us a dystopian world about to go into the time of the great Tribulation, and in it, they presented a novel way of administering the Mark of the Beast, using a VR headset. Here we are 25 years later, and the world has moved much closer to that reality, brought to us by the company whose first computer sold for $666.00, and whose logo is an apple with a bite missing. Now with their Apple Vison Pro mixed-reality headset, they are enticing you to enter their dystopian end times world. Don’t.

“And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.” Revelation 14:11 (KJB)

We’ve long told you there is a 3-Step Process to complete the transhumanist master plan. Step 1 was getting the whole world connected online and in front of a computer, and that officially began in 1994. Step 2 was to get the computer on you, beginning in 2007 with the release of the world-changing iPhone. The Vision Pro is the consummation of this second step. Step 3, the third and final step, will be to put the technology inside you. It began this year with the announcement of the first human implanted by the government funded NeuraLink and Elon Musk. The Apple Vision Pro is a great way to celebrate Step 3!

The Apple Vision Pro Is a Dystopian Device for a Dystopian World

FROM CNET: A dad stands awkwardly in the kitchen. He’s using the Vision Pro headset to check his email when his daughter — dressed to play soccer complete with goalie gloves — runs out. She rolls a ball to her dad who, still wearing the headset, sort of distractedly kicks the ball back to her. As a dad who’s spent a depressing amount of time trying to get rid of their kids so I could spend more time glued to an Apple device, it was relatable. It also felt icky.

But it wasn’t designed to feel icky. It was supposed to be heartwarming. Designed to dispel concerns about the Vision Pro and virtual reality headsets in general. Look, it says, the dream is possible! You can still live life and interact with your family while wearing a gigantic, expensive headset on your face! You won’t become a hollowed-out shell of a human! The Vision Pro won’t suck you into a virtual reality hellscape devoid of human interaction!

The Vision Pro isn’t an adequately priced smartphone. It isn’t an iPad Mini. In its press release, Apple seemed determined to avoid the word “headset,” instead referring to it constantly as a “spatial computer.” Either way, this isn’t a fun, disposable device, it’s a wildly expensive MacBook that costs tens of thousands of dollars. Or a $17,000 gold Apple Watch, like the one Kanye West used to wear.

Because of this, the Vision Pro almost certainly hasn’t been designed to change the world the way the iPhone was. At this price it simply can’t. It’ll be a device for well-paid creatives at best, a status symbol for the mega-rich at worst.

Expectations — our expectations — are part of the problem. We’re on our screens, possibly ignoring our children like morons waiting for the next big thing. What piece of consumer tech will transform our lives like the smartphone did? There’s a large part of us that expects Apple to do this, since the iPhone was the catalyst that helped define how we currently interact with the world. But it’s fairly clear virtual reality or augmented reality will not be that thing. The Vision Pro most certainly will not be that thing.

No, the Vision Pro is just another device that some people will buy and others won’t. And in a weird way, that’s OK. As long as you don’t linger on it for too long. Which I won’t. READ MORE

Apple and Google announced a system for tracking the spread of the new coronavirus, allowing users to share data through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transmissions and approved apps from health organizations.

The nascent partnership between Apple and Google will use contact tracing software, first in an app voluntarily downloaded, but then it will be built into the operating system software of evert iPhone and Android on the face of the earth. Ready yet to all hold hands by the campfire, make some s’mores and sing Kumbaya? You better be. Mark Of The Beast on deck.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Revelation 13:16-18 (KJB)

And thus tightens the net around the people of the whole earth, that great and terrible Internet on which the entire world is run. Oh, what’s that? You didn’t know that the WWW is the platform of the coming Mark of the Beast system? What? nobody told you that the numeric value of the letter ‘W’ in the Hebrew alphabet is ‘6’? The letter ‘W’ in Hebrew is ‘Vav’ and it is the 6th letter in the Hebrew alphabet. Mind. Blown.

Wakey-wakey, little ones, your house is on fire, time to fly. Flight #777 on Titus213 Airlines has engines on and doors closing. Webs are made to catch things, don’t let it catch you.

Both Apple and Google are building a coronavirus tracking system into iOS and Android system software using contact tracing

FROM THE VERGE: The new system, which is laid out in a series of documents and white papers, would use short-range Bluetooth communications to establish a voluntary contact-tracing network, keeping extensive data on phones that have been in close proximity with each other. Official apps from public health authorities will get access to this data, and users who download them can report if they’ve been diagnosed with COVID-19. The system will also alert people who download them to whether they were in close contact with an infected person.

Apple and Google will introduce a pair of iOS and Android APIs in mid-May and make sure these health authorities’ apps can implement them. During this phase, users will still have to download an app to participate in contact-tracing, which could limit adoption. But in the months after the API is complete, the companies will work on building tracing functionality into the underlying operating system, as an option immediately available to everyone with an iOS or Android phone.

Apple and Google partner on COVID-19 contact tracing technology

Contact tracing — which involves figuring out who an infected person has been in contact with and trying to prevent them from infecting others — is one of the most promising solutions for containing COVID-19, but using digital surveillance technology to do it raises massive privacy concerns and questions about effectiveness. Earlier this week, the American Civil Liberties Union raised concerns about tracking users with phone data, arguing that any system would need to be limited in scope and avoid compromising user privacy.

Unlike some other methods — like, say, using GPS data — this Bluetooth plan wouldn’t track people’s physical location. It would basically pick up the signals of nearby phones at 5-minute intervals and store the connections between them in a database. If one person tests positive for the novel coronavirus, they could tell the app they’ve been infected, and it could notify other people whose phones passed within close range in the preceding days.

The system also takes a number of steps to prevent people from being identified, even after they’ve shared their data. While the app regularly sends information out over Bluetooth, it broadcasts an anonymous key rather than a static identity, and those keys cycle every 15 minutes to preserve privacy. Even once a person shares that they’ve been infected, the app will only share keys from the specific period in which they were contagious.

Crucially, there is no centrally accessible master list of which phones have matched, contagious or otherwise. That’s because the phones themselves are performing the cryptographic calculations required to protect privacy. The central servers only maintain the database of shared keys, rather than the interactions between those keys. READ MORE
