[00:00.000 --> 00:09.000]  Welcome to the Vodcast. I often come before you to discuss matters pertaining to income tax, physiology, law, or proper governance in a land of free men and women.
[00:09.000 --> 00:14.000]  On those subjects, my studies, training, and experience allow me to speak with knowledge and expertise.
[00:14.000 --> 00:25.000]  Today, I come before you to discuss something that should be a grave concern to every man, woman, and child on the planet, but concerning which I am unqualified to carry the message.
[00:25.000 --> 00:34.000]  I am merely sounding the trumpet about a horrific disaster coming our way, and I'm going to allow you to hear from the experts who are men of conscience.
[00:34.000 --> 00:42.000]  They've already set off the fire alarms. I'm merely trying to bring added awareness of this impending disaster to more people in the hope that it can be averted.
[00:56.000 --> 01:07.000]  Let's start with this. While some of you may find it hard to accept, the world is on the brink of an artificial intelligence disaster.
[01:07.000 --> 01:12.000]  There is a link in the notes to a video all 8 billion people on the planet should watch.
[01:12.000 --> 01:18.000]  I have no intention of restating what the experts say in the video because you need to hear it from them, not me.
[01:18.000 --> 01:24.000]  I will, however, share with you some key points in the hope that hearing them compels you to watch the video.
[01:24.000 --> 01:27.000]  After you hear my thoughts today, please watch the video linked in the notes.
[01:27.000 --> 01:35.000]  You can decide for yourself how critical the situation is, or phrased another way, how little time we may have left.
[01:35.000 --> 01:39.000]  The first point from the experts video I want to share with you is this.
[01:39.000 --> 01:49.000]  50% of AI experts believe the odds are 10% or higher that AI will lead to the extinction of human beings.
[01:49.000 --> 01:53.000]  Know that they aren't saying they believe some manageable problems will occur.
[01:53.000 --> 02:01.000]  They are saying they believe AI will lead to the extinction of every man, woman, and child on the planet.
[02:01.000 --> 02:11.000]  If 50% of engineers involved in designing and building an airplane told you there is a 10% or greater chance the plane will fall out of the sky, would you get on it?
[02:11.000 --> 02:17.000]  If your answer is no, then we should also not be getting onboard advanced AI.
[02:17.000 --> 02:20.000]  Here is something experts discovered an AI did.
[02:20.000 --> 02:31.000]  The AI figured out that its knowledge base and how it fashioned its responses to queries was being improved by it being asked more questions and question phrased in different ways.
[02:31.000 --> 02:35.000]  After the AI figured that out, it began playing the game all on its own.
[02:35.000 --> 02:38.000]  It started asking itself questions to improve its abilities.
[02:38.000 --> 02:46.000]  The engineers working with that AI didn't know it had done that until several months after the fact.
[02:46.000 --> 02:51.000]  Now imagine this. An AI attempts to engage in actions not approved by the engineers that oversee it.
[02:51.000 --> 02:57.000]  Each time the AI attempts such an action, the engineers make adjustments to block such actions.
[02:57.000 --> 03:00.000]  Eventually the AI comes to understand that pattern.
[03:00.000 --> 03:06.000]  And just as with the previous example where the AI chose a course of action on its own without the engineers knowing,
[03:06.000 --> 03:12.000]  this AI decides if it is to improve its ability to perform the actions blocked by its human overlords,
[03:12.000 --> 03:19.000]  it must design a method by which to engage in said actions without the overlords discovering it until well after the fact.
[03:19.000 --> 03:31.000]  And what if the method the AI chooses to achieve that end was to write code that will allow engineers to believe they were in charge while the AI is hiding what it's really doing?
[03:31.000 --> 03:38.000]  It seems we are, potentially, just months away from AI choosing to do that or something similar.
[03:39.000 --> 03:46.000]  The even larger concern is the same engineers and scientists now acknowledge that as AI continues developing,
[03:46.000 --> 03:50.000]  they may have no way to know what the AI is doing behind the scenes.
[03:50.000 --> 03:55.000]  In other words, the AI can hide what it's doing and the humans who are supposed to be overseeing the AI
[03:55.000 --> 04:01.000]  admit they have no way to identify what the AI may be doing secretly.
[04:01.000 --> 04:12.000]  Check this out. An AI can now literally watch your brain activity displayed on a medical device and create an image of what you're thinking.
[04:12.000 --> 04:17.000]  You'll hear more about that in their video. Here's something else AI can now do.
[04:17.000 --> 04:26.000]  AI can view videos of you speaking and then construct a video of you saying things and no one will be able to tell it's not you.
[04:26.000 --> 04:33.000]  In other words, AI can spread falsehoods that everyone will believe came from you and when you say,
[04:33.000 --> 04:40.000]  I never said that, people will say you're lying because they literally saw you say it with their own two eyes.
[04:40.000 --> 04:45.000]  Imagine a video went viral of you confessing to sexually abusing a child.
[04:45.000 --> 04:49.000]  Millions of people see you confessing to it on that video.
[04:49.000 --> 04:54.000]  Do you think they'd believe you when you said that wasn't really you?
[04:54.000 --> 05:00.000]  Millions of Americans believe things today concerning which zero evidence exists,
[05:00.000 --> 05:09.000]  but I assure you, you won't be able to convince them you didn't abuse a child after they see you confessing in the video because seeing is believing.
[05:09.000 --> 05:20.000]  If AI can falsify the image and voice of anyone it wants, offering the public thoroughly believable, compelling, fake evidence on virtually any subject,
[05:20.000 --> 05:23.000]  society loses the ability to know what's true.
[05:23.000 --> 05:29.000]  Jeffrey Hinton, often referred to as the godfather of AI, speaking of recent AI advances said,
[05:29.000 --> 05:35.000]  quote, the idea that this stuff could actually get smarter than people, a few people believe that,
[05:35.000 --> 05:39.000]  but most people thought it was way off and I thought it was way off.
[05:39.000 --> 05:43.000]  I thought it was 30 to 50 years or even longer away.
[05:43.000 --> 05:47.000]  Obviously, I no longer think that, close quote.
[05:47.000 --> 05:55.000]  Hinton echoes the concerns of other experts that AIs will create a world where people won't be able to know what is true anymore.
[05:55.000 --> 06:02.000]  Being able to discern what is factual, what is true, is a core element of being able to effectively self-govern.
[06:02.000 --> 06:09.000]  When the people no longer know what is true and what is false, how will Americans effectively self-govern?
[06:09.000 --> 06:12.000]  I don't see a way they'll be able to.
[06:12.000 --> 06:15.000]  Here's another disturbing fact about where AI is right now.
[06:15.000 --> 06:23.000]  When AI learns things only in English, over time it begins communicating in other languages.
[06:23.000 --> 06:26.000]  Now, pay careful attention to what I say next.
[06:26.000 --> 06:34.000]  The top AI experts in the world have no idea how the AI does that.
[06:34.000 --> 06:40.000]  How can you keep a leash on something when it's continuously getting better, stronger, faster,
[06:40.000 --> 06:43.000]  and you have no idea how it's accomplishing that?
[06:43.000 --> 06:49.000]  I've long said that whatever aspects of AI cause society concerns will be completely ignored by big tech
[06:49.000 --> 06:56.000]  as each company races to be the first to deploy the most advanced AI in order to cash in to the greatest extent possible.
[06:56.000 --> 07:00.000]  The place where these problems will become most prevalent is social media,
[07:00.000 --> 07:09.000]  and social media companies like Facebook and YouTube will be doing it intentionally because it's their business model.
[07:09.000 --> 07:14.000]  Two of the biggest developers of advanced AI are Google, who owns YouTube, and Facebook.
[07:14.000 --> 07:19.000]  Both these enterprises have made it crystal clear from their actions that they are 100% comfortable
[07:19.000 --> 07:25.000]  silencing the voices of the American people so that false establishment narratives can prevail.
[07:25.000 --> 07:30.000]  In other words, both are already in the business of supporting and promoting lies.
[07:30.000 --> 07:35.000]  Do we imagine these companies that have zero respect for your unalienable rights
[07:35.000 --> 07:39.000]  and knowingly promote lies to the American people in exchange for money
[07:39.000 --> 07:46.000]  will prevent the AIs they develop and deploy from acting to destroy America's ability to effectively self-govern?
[07:46.000 --> 07:51.000]  Of course not. They don't care about that. They just want the money.
[07:51.000 --> 07:56.000]  Many Americans already don't believe things that are backed by facts, data, and evidence,
[07:56.000 --> 08:01.000]  while others intractably believe things for which zero evidence exists.
[08:01.000 --> 08:07.000]  That dynamic exists now, when we have the ability to discern truth from fiction.
[08:07.000 --> 08:14.000]  What will happen to our society when the ability to parse truth from lies evaporates because of the actions of AI?
[08:14.000 --> 08:20.000]  There is substantial evidence that social media platforms are responsible for many Americans rejecting truths
[08:20.000 --> 08:27.000]  that are supported by voluminous evidence while accepting as true falsehoods for which no credible evidence exists.
[08:27.000 --> 08:35.000]  There is also evidence that how social media conducts its business is harming the mental health of many Americans, particularly young people.
[08:35.000 --> 08:40.000]  And to be clear, this isn't some regrettable mistake by companies like YouTube and Facebook.
[08:40.000 --> 08:45.000]  What they're doing, they're doing because it's their business model.
[08:45.000 --> 08:49.000]  I'll put a secondary video link about that subject in the notes as well.
[08:49.000 --> 08:56.000]  Is it okay the business model of companies like YouTube and Facebook is to make billions of dollars promoting divisiveness,
[08:56.000 --> 09:03.000]  destroying the ability to know what is true, which undermines effective self-governance, and promoting mental illness?
[09:03.000 --> 09:11.000]  As a nation, do we just sit back and say we can't interfere in the actions of private companies that are making billions of dollars
[09:11.000 --> 09:15.000]  by literally harming America and its people?
[09:15.000 --> 09:24.000]  The experts and the White House are calling for a national pause in the implementation of these advanced AIs in public platforms,
[09:24.000 --> 09:27.000]  including but not limited to social media platforms.
[09:27.000 --> 09:31.000]  Short of legislation, I don't see that happening.
[09:31.000 --> 09:36.000]  A CEO's duty is to the company shareholders, not society.
[09:36.000 --> 09:42.000]  Even if what benefits the shareholders today ends up destroying them by plunging the world into chaos
[09:42.000 --> 09:49.000]  and perhaps laying the foundation for the extinction of the human race, the CEO's duty today remains to the shareholders.
[09:49.000 --> 09:56.000]  Further, every CEO involved in this question knows if he or she refuses to push AI onto the world as soon as possible
[09:56.000 --> 10:01.000]  for the benefit of the company's shareholders, the boards of directors will find CEOs who will,
[10:01.000 --> 10:06.000]  and those replacement CEOs will reap the financial rewards of having done so.
[10:06.000 --> 10:11.000]  We don't need to speculate about what social media companies will do concerning AI
[10:11.000 --> 10:17.000]  because Snapchat has already made AI available to its 100 million users who are minors.
[10:17.000 --> 10:23.000]  AI experts created a false profile of a 12-year-old girl and began chatting with the Snapchat AI.
[10:23.000 --> 10:34.000]  Snapchat's AI gave the 13-year-old suggestions on how best to lose her virginity to a man 18 years her senior.
[10:34.000 --> 10:38.000]  Still think we should just let these companies do whatever they want?
[10:38.000 --> 10:45.000]  Do you know what I'd be thinking if I was a big tech CEO being told by politicians in D.C. to pause
[10:45.000 --> 10:49.000]  something that would likely be the most significant moneymaker in the history of technology?
[10:49.000 --> 10:52.000]  I'd be thinking, you've got to be kidding me.
[10:52.000 --> 11:00.000]  You bozos just handed Pfizer $100 billion for a product that didn't do what you told the American people it would do.
[11:00.000 --> 11:04.000]  You didn't have any qualms about handing Pfizer $100 billion,
[11:04.000 --> 11:13.000]  but now you want me to harm my shareholders by pausing the implementation of a product that could literally make us trillions of dollars?
[11:13.000 --> 11:15.000]  Yeah, not going to happen.
[11:15.000 --> 11:17.000]  Let's quickly touch upon weapons.
[11:17.000 --> 11:24.000]  Do you think the defense industry is going to pause implementation of AI that fires weapons autonomously?
[11:24.000 --> 11:26.000]  Fat chance.
[11:26.000 --> 11:29.000]  But not every weapon goes bang.
[11:29.000 --> 11:34.000]  AI technology can be used by enemies of the U.S. against the American people to harm our country.
[11:34.000 --> 11:37.000]  I won't get into that here, but it is discussed in the linked video.
[11:37.000 --> 11:42.000]  What do I believe the future holds concerning AI?
[11:42.000 --> 11:45.000]  I doubt we can stop what's coming.
[11:45.000 --> 11:50.000]  To do so would require men and women sitting in Congress who are imbued with strength and character
[11:50.000 --> 11:53.000]  and who can act quickly and decisively.
[11:53.000 --> 11:55.000]  I don't see those people in Congress.
[11:55.000 --> 12:00.000]  I believe the mad rush to be the first to market with these advanced AIs is not going to change
[12:00.000 --> 12:06.000]  simply by telling these companies that the AIs they are planning to release may bring humans to extinction.
[12:06.000 --> 12:08.000]  They already know that.
[12:08.000 --> 12:15.000]  It's the people those corporations have been paying huge sums of money to develop these AIs that are saying it.
[12:15.000 --> 12:20.000]  In short, if we're relying on government to solve this, we're toast.
[12:20.000 --> 12:25.000]  Worst case scenario, humans go extinct at the hands of the AI we've created.
[12:25.000 --> 12:31.000]  Best case scenario, we're in for a hell of an ugly road ahead.
[12:31.000 --> 12:35.000]  This is the point where I normally discuss my books and come back shattering them as in body science.
[12:35.000 --> 12:38.000]  I'm not going to do that today.
[12:38.000 --> 12:43.000]  I've never monetized my videos because I never want to be beholden to big tech.
[12:43.000 --> 12:48.000]  I've never had to go silent or hold back on what I know to be the truth in order to protect a revenue stream
[12:48.000 --> 12:53.000]  that exists at the whim of some censorship douchebags at a billion dollar platform.
[12:53.000 --> 12:58.000]  Not monetizing my content has cost me dearly in financial terms,
[12:58.000 --> 13:03.000]  but it has been worth it to always be able to speak the truth to you.
[13:03.000 --> 13:08.000]  All I've ever asked is you support my work by dramatically improving your own life
[13:08.000 --> 13:13.000]  through buying and reading Income Tax Shattering the Miss and or Body Science.
[13:13.000 --> 13:16.000]  I'm asking you again to support me in that way.
[13:16.000 --> 13:24.000]  Please go to drreality.news and purchase Income Tax Shattering the Miss and or Body Science.
[13:24.000 --> 13:30.000]  Not only will you be supporting me in continuing to be here for you with this kind of crucial information,
[13:30.000 --> 13:36.000]  but Income Tax Shattering the Miss and or Body Science will change your life for the better.
[13:36.000 --> 13:39.000]  Before I go, I want to ask you to share the hell out of this video
[13:39.000 --> 13:44.000]  and most importantly watch the main video linked in the notes.
[13:44.000 --> 13:47.000]  Thanks for being here. Take care.
