The following report is by Coin Telegraph:
Victor Miller, a nonpartisan candidate running for the mayor of Cheyenne in the U.S. state of Wyoming, has proposed running the city with an artificial intelligence bot sharing his namesake.
In a speech before a Cheyenne library on Aug. 16, Miller reportedly suggested that if elected to be the city’s mayor in November, he would launch an AI bot named “VIC” — “Virtual Integrated Citizen” — to take over running the local government. The mayoral candidate faces several challengers to his proposed campaign, including incumbent Patrick Collins.
According to the Washington Post, technology firm OpenAI shut down Miller’s account after he attempted to use its software for the VIC bot. The company’s policies prohibited “engaging in political campaigning or lobbying, including generating campaign materials personalized to or targeted at specific demographics.”

“Meat Avatar”
“Vic the human has no oversight role, holds no veto, and will use zero discretion,” said the AI bot in a July 9 X post. “Victor (Virtual Integrated Citizen, The Official Robot) will be doing one hundred percent of the decision-making completely on its own. There’s no meaningful distinction between Victor being on the ballot and Vic being on the ballot as the meat avatar. They are one and the same.”
Miller reportedly suggested that as the name on the ballot, he would deal with in-person ceremonial events as mayor. At the same time, VIC would handle the bulk of the decision-making, including whether to sign bills into law. Roughly 65,000 people live in Cheyenne, with Wyoming considered by many to be friendly to crypto and blockchain firms.

AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Unsurprisingly, Miller was forced to bow out of the race recently because he could not garner enough votes to advance to the final stage. Denver 7 reported:
In conceding Tuesday’s primary to incumbent Cheyenne mayor Patrick Collins, Miller said he was the first person “to put artificial intelligence directly on the ballot, offering voters the novel choice of AI governance” and declared that his campaign marked a “historic moment in politics and technology.”
OpenAI does not allow people to use its AI for political campaigning this manner, and they shutdown his previous account before he created a new account just before he announced his slogan.
Even though he’s out of the race, I mention this because it shows this growing trend of people who are not only embracing AI they want it to govern their lives and solve all their issues. As I have said, this new wave of AI is nothing more than a new god and idol for the masses to worship.

Ecclesiastes 6:9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Can you do an article on what 2 Timothy 2:4 means? Vs taking a stance for something as this world collapses.
1 Corinthians 7:31 And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.
There are a number of verses I could site that warn about getting too invested and ensnared with the lusts of the flesh and of the world. That’s all 2 Tim 2:4 is referring to. Paul mentioned that ‘Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, […]” (2 Tim 4:10).
1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. [16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. [17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Warning people, saved and lost, about what is happening is totally fine. The WP has been used as a great witnessing tool and a way to plant seeds. I’ve seen secular channels who follow my work be greatly influenced after reading some of the reports I have posted, not to toot my own horn or anything. My point is, showing people the truth and exposing lies helps brethren stay clear of deception and help in this life, and the same applies to the lost world that can potentially get saved when exposed to enough truth.
2 Corinthians 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
Romans 15:27 It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. You truly is a blessing in my life and in many others. My prayers are with you.
Thank you and you are welcome.
