00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.960
Join us on Now We Consume. Take in the knowledge.

00:00:04.099 --> 00:00:07.259
Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with

00:00:07.259 --> 00:00:10.859
us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you

00:00:10.859 --> 00:00:13.140
through the parts of your day you normally dread.

00:00:13.900 --> 00:00:16.559
Why suffer through the existential crisis of

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.140
life alone when you can do it with us? And now

00:00:20.140 --> 00:00:23.179
we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:25.219
episode or podcast, but we may cover some topics

00:00:25.219 --> 00:00:26.480
that dance that line like a toddler dances on

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.800
their mother's last nerve. This podcast is rated

00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:33.310
I. Welcome to Now We Consume, the podcast where

00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:36.090
your weird is our normal, and our weird gives

00:00:36.090 --> 00:00:37.929
you private sessions with a therapist and new

00:00:37.929 --> 00:00:40.729
medications. I am your host, Gibbs. Are those

00:00:40.729 --> 00:00:42.189
anything like the private sessions with your

00:00:42.189 --> 00:00:45.229
uncle? No, no, no. Those don't give you medications.

00:00:45.270 --> 00:00:51.189
Those give you STDs and trauma. And usually you

00:00:51.189 --> 00:00:53.250
learn a new swear word or something like that

00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.090
or something funny. The only word I learned was

00:00:56.090 --> 00:01:02.479
no. Anyways, I am your host, Gibbs, and along

00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:05.659
with me is my co -host, Pip. Yeah, and this week

00:01:05.659 --> 00:01:08.260
we got it right. He is Gibbs and I am Pip. I

00:01:08.260 --> 00:01:11.599
know. Thank God. It was scary being here for

00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.280
30 seconds. Right? I know, just... Talk about

00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:20.480
that trauma. I can't, that's the problem. There

00:01:20.480 --> 00:01:22.340
are no therapists licensed in that around here.

00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.010
But, anyways. So today we want to take it a little

00:01:27.010 --> 00:01:28.310
bit of a different direction with the podcast.

00:01:28.950 --> 00:01:31.549
And since it's becoming very clear, there's a

00:01:31.549 --> 00:01:33.950
lot of like smaller topics that might not necessarily

00:01:33.950 --> 00:01:37.829
warrant an entire episode. So what we're going

00:01:37.829 --> 00:01:40.409
to do is do a bit of a variety episode here where

00:01:40.409 --> 00:01:43.650
we each picked a couple of topics that were tickling

00:01:43.650 --> 00:01:46.469
our tism. And that way we can discuss that and

00:01:46.469 --> 00:01:48.049
have a little bit of fun and have a few jokes

00:01:48.049 --> 00:01:53.819
along the way. Twas the tism, my lord. Show us

00:01:53.819 --> 00:01:58.120
the tism. I think that's relatively evident in

00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.579
the show. I'm just... Literally, every other

00:02:01.579 --> 00:02:04.819
thing we do is basically just watch as I do a

00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:09.340
tism. Pretty much. But hey, you gotta have some

00:02:09.340 --> 00:02:13.500
fun, right? Gotta enjoy life. But anyway, so

00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:16.719
I think the first topic here that we wanted to

00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:20.300
discuss... which I know was definitely something

00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:25.020
that you have been vigorously discussing. Drones.

00:02:26.039 --> 00:02:29.819
Yes. Yes. But before we get into the topic, I

00:02:29.819 --> 00:02:32.419
want to go ahead and let everyone know the four

00:02:32.419 --> 00:02:34.960
main topics we're going to discuss. Oh, okay.

00:02:35.180 --> 00:02:38.280
Just as a little. Yes. I want to spoil this just

00:02:38.280 --> 00:02:41.300
a tiny bit. I normally don't do spoilers. What's

00:02:41.300 --> 00:02:42.460
that? You have to tease them. You just want to

00:02:42.460 --> 00:02:44.259
tease them. Just a little tease. I do want to

00:02:44.259 --> 00:02:46.539
tickle the. Just a little tease, you know. Just

00:02:46.539 --> 00:02:50.159
tickle the tip a little bit. We're going to talk

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.580
about drones. We're going to talk about some

00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:57.860
advancements in robots tonight. The new AI -powered

00:02:57.860 --> 00:03:01.699
video agents and services like VO3 and some of

00:03:01.699 --> 00:03:03.439
the ultra -realistic deepfake videos that have

00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:08.080
come out of it. And then we're going to dance

00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:11.120
the little divider line and get a little political.

00:03:12.699 --> 00:03:16.360
The Trump and Elon breakup. The bromance has

00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:18.599
ended. We're going to discuss a few things about

00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.939
that. However, before we get into that, there

00:03:22.939 --> 00:03:24.840
are a couple of honorable mentions that we wanted

00:03:24.840 --> 00:03:29.280
to get into. We are recording this show on June

00:03:29.280 --> 00:03:34.560
the 8th. As of today, Los Angeles is more or

00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.919
less, well, southern Los Angeles, I believe,

00:03:36.979 --> 00:03:41.840
is still more or less on fire. Riots and looting

00:03:41.840 --> 00:03:45.810
and other shenaniganry. are in process thanks

00:03:45.810 --> 00:03:52.389
to folks of questionable legal status engaging

00:03:52.389 --> 00:03:59.270
in, shall we say, physical altercations with

00:03:59.270 --> 00:04:02.530
federal agents. I don't think that's going to

00:04:02.530 --> 00:04:04.810
turn out well, no matter how you shake a stick

00:04:04.810 --> 00:04:07.909
at it. The National Guard has been deployed,

00:04:08.069 --> 00:04:11.169
so grab the popcorn and pull up a chair. This

00:04:11.169 --> 00:04:12.789
is going to play out the way it's going to play

00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:17.800
out. The second honorable mention we had was

00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.639
the discovery of Chinese agro -terrorism this

00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:23.579
week. I did not have that one on my bingo card.

00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.240
How about you, Gibbs? No, I'll be honest. That

00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.680
was probably on row 37 -E, somewhere in there

00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.259
on my list, because there's no way. Subsection

00:04:32.259 --> 00:04:36.040
24? Yeah. Yeah, about, give or take. But as you

00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.980
had mentioned before we went live, a hidden underground

00:04:38.980 --> 00:04:43.300
lab, where was it? It was in California. In California,

00:04:43.300 --> 00:04:46.300
of all places. Mind you, all this has just come

00:04:46.300 --> 00:04:48.860
out in the last few hours, you know, on the 8th.

00:04:49.339 --> 00:04:53.860
So it's possible by the time this airs tomorrow

00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:56.319
and it comes out between Monday and Tuesday,

00:04:56.360 --> 00:04:57.620
typically that's when the stories are picked

00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.959
back up. There could be a lot more information,

00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:03.560
but as far as we know today, last week there

00:05:03.560 --> 00:05:06.680
was a... Exactly. At the time of recording, we

00:05:06.680 --> 00:05:09.680
know that there was basically Chinese CCP sympathizers

00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.899
that were... arrested a guy there was a guy that

00:05:12.899 --> 00:05:16.279
worked um university of michigan thank you i

00:05:16.279 --> 00:05:18.339
was trying to remember the university uh basically

00:05:18.339 --> 00:05:20.000
they were going to try to release and they had

00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:23.439
in their possession um i don't know if they said

00:05:23.439 --> 00:05:29.560
exactly what type of um they did name the phone

00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:33.279
it was a virus it was a fungus and if released

00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.199
it could have devastated the food supply uh i

00:05:36.199 --> 00:05:39.199
think it was 40 to 60 percent of our national

00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:42.360
crop could have been potentially affected there

00:05:42.360 --> 00:05:45.600
is a gas that's put off by the decomp of the

00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:50.519
crops that is hazardous to humans so that's something

00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:55.060
that i when when we did our um the end of the

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:57.360
world as we know it episode that was not even

00:05:57.360 --> 00:06:01.740
on our radar that's how low of a possibility

00:06:01.740 --> 00:06:05.139
and and checkbox that is on the list like we

00:06:05.139 --> 00:06:08.019
cover some pretty out there shit Oh, yeah, but

00:06:08.019 --> 00:06:10.040
something like that is very mutually assured

00:06:10.040 --> 00:06:12.279
destruction type of thing because that would

00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:14.439
inevitably get to everywhere in the world. That's

00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:16.040
not something that would just stay in the U .S.

00:06:16.379 --> 00:06:17.879
Oh, yeah, no. Because think about it, by the

00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:19.100
time it's detected, it would have already been

00:06:19.100 --> 00:06:21.100
transported across the world. We provide a lot

00:06:21.100 --> 00:06:23.920
of the world's grain, people don't realize, and

00:06:23.920 --> 00:06:26.360
we grow a shit ton of stuff. So the fact that

00:06:26.360 --> 00:06:28.379
there was even a question of that getting out

00:06:28.379 --> 00:06:32.100
there, hmm. And that's insane. And mind you,

00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:33.560
what's crazy to think about is how much stuff

00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:36.560
has been out there now. Like, put aside COVID

00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:37.600
and everything else that happened with that.

00:06:38.579 --> 00:06:40.540
How many different strains of different viruses

00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:43.660
and different things or different ailments where

00:06:43.660 --> 00:06:46.759
this has happened before or something else has

00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:49.420
been influenced or affected? That's kind of crazy.

00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:53.279
But it boggles my mind that they could have created

00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.839
that without the U .S. government even having

00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:57.459
an inkling of knowing. But apparently they somehow

00:06:57.459 --> 00:06:59.879
did. It's a good thing, though. it's a good thing

00:06:59.879 --> 00:07:01.519
that they got caught because if that did get

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.759
out, we would be in such a bad shape. And honestly,

00:07:05.879 --> 00:07:10.339
that coming out and coming to light just reemphasizes

00:07:10.339 --> 00:07:13.480
the whole, you need to have food stores on hand

00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:18.240
at least a month worth, probably more, but you

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:20.660
got to take care of you and yours. Definitely

00:07:20.660 --> 00:07:24.459
reference our prepping episode on that. Cause

00:07:24.459 --> 00:07:27.860
we're both pretty into that stuff. And, uh, Self

00:07:27.860 --> 00:07:30.879
-sufficiency, self -reliance. It's becoming a

00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:36.540
necessity nowadays. But that was insane, as well

00:07:36.540 --> 00:07:39.199
as the other information is that linked to that,

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.660
there apparently is an underground lab that's

00:07:41.660 --> 00:07:45.519
run by the CCP and or sponsored by the CCP, China,

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:48.920
that's in California, that's loosely linked to

00:07:48.920 --> 00:07:52.220
some of the universities there. So we're still

00:07:52.220 --> 00:07:55.000
waiting more information, but... Seems like every

00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:57.139
time we turn around, the CCP are linked to something.

00:07:57.220 --> 00:07:58.660
The Chinese government is linked to something

00:07:58.660 --> 00:08:01.439
that has to do with our medical infrastructure.

00:08:02.079 --> 00:08:05.699
And it's terrifying. Should be zero involvement.

00:08:05.819 --> 00:08:08.220
The fact that there's even 0 .1 % is ridiculous,

00:08:08.420 --> 00:08:13.300
let alone anything. The one thing, and I'll try

00:08:13.300 --> 00:08:15.180
to keep this brief, but the last thing I want

00:08:15.180 --> 00:08:18.519
to talk on this point was this was a fungus that

00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:22.160
was going to affect crops. How much farmland

00:08:22.160 --> 00:08:26.129
does China own? That is also next to a lot of

00:08:26.129 --> 00:08:29.269
our military bases. Just those, those two facts

00:08:29.269 --> 00:08:33.370
together kind of emphasize that there is way

00:08:33.370 --> 00:08:35.470
too much foreign involvement in our country and

00:08:35.470 --> 00:08:39.789
key areas that needs to stop. Like I'm, I'm okay

00:08:39.789 --> 00:08:42.169
with foreign investment to a point, but there

00:08:42.169 --> 00:08:44.549
are some industries that need to be off limits.

00:08:45.129 --> 00:08:47.049
You know, the majority of countries in the world

00:08:47.049 --> 00:08:50.129
do not allow foreigners to own land. You can

00:08:50.129 --> 00:08:53.470
own like a condo. You're like, that's fine. But

00:08:53.470 --> 00:08:55.389
they don't allow people to own land, which is

00:08:55.389 --> 00:08:57.789
interesting. And I think we should be on that

00:08:57.789 --> 00:09:01.750
bandwagon. You know, we're quickly coming to

00:09:01.750 --> 00:09:03.610
that point to where that's going to be necessary.

00:09:05.389 --> 00:09:08.710
So, I don't know. It's crazy, but we just wanted

00:09:08.710 --> 00:09:10.269
to touch on that before we got rolling with the

00:09:10.269 --> 00:09:13.950
podcast. Last thing quickly, and this wasn't

00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:16.450
in the notes, the new strain of COVID is out.

00:09:16.549 --> 00:09:22.419
Yay! A .K .A. New Strain of the Flu, Part 2,

00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:25.580
Electric Boogaloo. I don't know. It's just going

00:09:25.580 --> 00:09:27.899
to be another cold. Two weeks to flatten the

00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:31.580
curve, right? Dude, that worked out well. You

00:09:31.580 --> 00:09:33.740
know what, though? I will admit, I will say I

00:09:33.740 --> 00:09:36.759
think those two weeks were probably the two most

00:09:36.759 --> 00:09:39.759
peaceful weeks of my entire life because we all

00:09:39.759 --> 00:09:41.879
got on, hung out, played video games, watched

00:09:41.879 --> 00:09:44.600
movies, hung out with each other. Oh, yeah. And

00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:45.940
then after those two weeks, it was like, oh,

00:09:45.940 --> 00:09:48.830
wait, this is... Life again. Oh, no. Oh, no.

00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:54.429
It's almost. I will say, I remember when our

00:09:54.429 --> 00:09:57.330
buddies sent pictures of California and you could

00:09:57.330 --> 00:10:02.830
see like over the cities in California. I know.

00:10:02.909 --> 00:10:06.789
It's incredible. So that was kind of cool. Like

00:10:06.789 --> 00:10:10.809
letting nature. Yeah. It was nice that they weren't

00:10:10.809 --> 00:10:12.409
breathing pure smog. That's crazy. All those

00:10:12.409 --> 00:10:14.470
emissions laws in California. And it somehow

00:10:14.470 --> 00:10:18.919
still doesn't matter. Right. Yeah. It's almost

00:10:18.919 --> 00:10:20.759
like that's not causing most of the pollution.

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:26.720
Yeah. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. But to get into the meat

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:30.600
and taters for tonight, we will drive into the

00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:33.480
drones. And one of the things I want to talk

00:10:33.480 --> 00:10:36.840
about first was the drone revolution from warfare

00:10:36.840 --> 00:10:41.279
to your wallet. Drone technology is advancing

00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:45.320
at quite an exponential rate. We're seeing significant

00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.919
improvements in flight time and range thanks

00:10:47.919 --> 00:10:51.080
to new battery technology, more efficient design,

00:10:51.419 --> 00:10:55.419
material science is advanced, so drones can fly

00:10:55.419 --> 00:11:00.159
for longer distances. You can get more bang for

00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:03.070
your buck out of drones these days. I thought

00:11:03.070 --> 00:11:04.230
you were going to ask a question. I'm sorry.

00:11:04.330 --> 00:11:05.889
Well, what I was going to say, one of the things

00:11:05.889 --> 00:11:07.789
I was reading, I was watching a couple of videos

00:11:07.789 --> 00:11:09.570
and reading a couple of articles. A lot of it

00:11:09.570 --> 00:11:11.009
has to do with the efficiency of the engines

00:11:11.009 --> 00:11:13.350
as well as the propeller designs. And really,

00:11:13.389 --> 00:11:15.129
it's a lot of it's a thrust to weight ratio where

00:11:15.129 --> 00:11:16.909
they're able to make these drones so light now

00:11:16.909 --> 00:11:19.970
and the engine so powerful and all of it so cheap.

00:11:20.210 --> 00:11:22.529
Yes. That you're talking for a few hundred, even

00:11:22.529 --> 00:11:24.250
a few thousand dollars. You got drones that can

00:11:24.250 --> 00:11:27.789
carry enough. Not even that. Because we can 3D

00:11:27.789 --> 00:11:31.110
print a lot of these drones, too. Yeah. So there's

00:11:31.110 --> 00:11:37.000
that. The autonomy and AI, thanks to our wonderful

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:41.080
AI overlords, drones are getting smarter and

00:11:41.080 --> 00:11:45.399
they're being enabled to navigate complex environments.

00:11:45.539 --> 00:11:48.340
They can identify objects and even make decisions

00:11:48.340 --> 00:11:51.840
without direct human control. There was a TV

00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:54.360
show or a movie, I think it was called Killbots.

00:11:54.539 --> 00:11:56.899
And I think most people have seen the little

00:11:56.899 --> 00:11:59.139
reel where the guy's on stage and he holds up

00:11:59.139 --> 00:12:01.860
the little microbot. And it's got facial recognition

00:12:01.860 --> 00:12:05.039
technology and a little micro charge, shape charge.

00:12:05.220 --> 00:12:08.200
And he wings it out into the crowd and it buzzes

00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.460
around and then it finds the mannequin and it

00:12:10.460 --> 00:12:12.460
smacks the mannequin on the head and detonates

00:12:12.460 --> 00:12:16.360
the shape charge. That was like a five or eight

00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:19.799
year old video. We now have that technology.

00:12:20.580 --> 00:12:24.399
Good God, no. Collectively, it may not be in

00:12:24.399 --> 00:12:27.279
a single unit today. Collectively speaking, we

00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:32.500
now have all of that technology at hand. What

00:12:32.500 --> 00:12:35.500
scares me more is less that the U .S. government

00:12:35.500 --> 00:12:37.940
or that any one government has it, but the fact

00:12:37.940 --> 00:12:39.460
that when terrorists get their hands on that

00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:42.639
kind of stuff, that's going to fucking suck.

00:12:43.019 --> 00:12:47.940
Yeah. We are opening that Pandora's box that

00:12:47.940 --> 00:12:52.120
unfortunately can never be closed, and it's going

00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:59.779
to get really messy. Yeah. So, man. This is getting

00:12:59.779 --> 00:13:03.639
good. Swarming technology. China has been nice

00:13:03.639 --> 00:13:08.240
at showing this one off. The ability of multiple

00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:10.740
drones to operate in a coordinated swarm has

00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:13.259
proven to be an absolute game changer for both

00:13:13.259 --> 00:13:16.720
military and commercial applications. Ukraine,

00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.480
what was it, last week, proved the effectiveness

00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:23.580
of drones in a swarm in combat situations, taking

00:13:23.580 --> 00:13:27.200
out, I believe it's been confirmed now, a third

00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:34.470
of Russia's strategic air power. yep so they

00:13:34.470 --> 00:13:40.549
did that with drones in um trucks 18 wheelers

00:13:40.549 --> 00:13:43.590
they stuck them into the country and that brings

00:13:43.590 --> 00:13:45.970
up i'm going to talk about that in more detail

00:13:45.970 --> 00:13:48.789
but that brings up a point that a lot of war

00:13:48.789 --> 00:13:51.789
war planners are literally just being kept awake

00:13:51.789 --> 00:13:54.509
at night because that can literally happen anywhere

00:13:54.509 --> 00:14:00.240
any country that's got loose borders that's kind

00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:01.980
of got issues. Oh, God, that sounds familiar.

00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.440
Not only that, but especially if you've got countries

00:14:06.440 --> 00:14:09.019
even outside of America that do not have sophisticated

00:14:09.019 --> 00:14:14.559
radar systems or surveillance systems. You cannot

00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:19.879
stop drone swarms like that. I mean, I'm sure

00:14:19.879 --> 00:14:22.720
there's a way. You cannot deploy only if you

00:14:22.720 --> 00:14:25.080
have to have heads up and you have to have the

00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:28.879
systems in place. But we don't have... Phalanx

00:14:28.879 --> 00:14:32.179
systems on every corner in America. We don't

00:14:32.179 --> 00:14:35.000
have anti -drone technology on every building

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.379
in America. That's literally the only way you

00:14:37.379 --> 00:14:40.879
can stop those things. And we just do not have

00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:44.039
the infrastructure to stop a drone swarm attack

00:14:44.039 --> 00:14:49.899
like that. No. It's not feasible. It's not economically

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:55.879
viable. We have the capabilities. We can stop

00:14:55.879 --> 00:14:59.330
them. If they're in the area that the anti -drone

00:14:59.330 --> 00:15:04.149
technology is in. This makes me really question.

00:15:04.210 --> 00:15:05.870
Do you remember? And I know this seems like a

00:15:05.870 --> 00:15:08.769
forever ago in news time. Do you remember those

00:15:08.769 --> 00:15:10.649
big drones that were flying over the East Coast

00:15:10.649 --> 00:15:13.070
like four months ago, five months ago? Yeah.

00:15:15.769 --> 00:15:17.470
I'm starting to really wonder how interconnected

00:15:17.470 --> 00:15:20.870
all this is with the drone technology. How that

00:15:20.870 --> 00:15:22.710
happened and we were starting to mess with drones

00:15:22.710 --> 00:15:25.559
and now just it seems to escalate. it's almost

00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:27.940
going an exponential path now that we have access

00:15:27.940 --> 00:15:32.179
to ai that can run localized that now that we've

00:15:32.179 --> 00:15:35.259
had gpus that have these dedicated ai processing

00:15:35.259 --> 00:15:39.320
cores and now the military is using them it almost

00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:41.919
seems to me that this even the rudimentary ai

00:15:41.919 --> 00:15:44.440
that can run on a single or couple of gpus are

00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:47.320
going to be powerful enough to where these drones

00:15:47.320 --> 00:15:51.220
that they are going to be the new sleeper cells

00:15:51.220 --> 00:15:52.879
at this point, to where they're going to be able

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:55.120
to set up these drones and activate them remotely

00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:59.100
and already have pre -designed targets, pre -designated

00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:00.980
destinations, and they will be able to actively

00:16:00.980 --> 00:16:04.039
avoid and evade is going to be the next step,

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:05.519
and that's going to be the huge problem, especially

00:16:05.519 --> 00:16:09.720
if all it takes is one bioweapon. If all it takes...

00:16:09.720 --> 00:16:13.379
Yeah, because drone payloads, they can be equipped

00:16:13.379 --> 00:16:17.830
with more than just cameras now. They can be

00:16:17.830 --> 00:16:19.490
equipped with firearms. They can be equipped

00:16:19.490 --> 00:16:21.830
with rocket launchers. They can be equipped with

00:16:21.830 --> 00:16:24.809
gas dispensers. They can be equipped with all

00:16:24.809 --> 00:16:27.029
kinds of stuff. There were some drones I was

00:16:27.029 --> 00:16:28.370
watching in Ukraine. They can hold up to anywhere

00:16:28.370 --> 00:16:31.269
between 25 to 50 pounds, depending on how big

00:16:31.269 --> 00:16:34.230
the drone is. And I mean, that's not a small

00:16:34.230 --> 00:16:36.210
amount of explosives if they wanted to go that

00:16:36.210 --> 00:16:37.970
route. Well, that's what I was going to say.

00:16:38.009 --> 00:16:40.110
It's like in military terms, typically we usually

00:16:40.110 --> 00:16:42.769
see, you know, if you're using from a bomber

00:16:42.769 --> 00:16:44.289
or some sort of fighter, I mean, typically 250

00:16:44.289 --> 00:16:47.080
pounds is like the smaller scale. But that's

00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:50.000
usually take out like an entire building. Whereas

00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.580
like if you're talking 25 to 50 pounds, that's

00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:54.059
something to where if you're trying to take out

00:16:54.059 --> 00:16:56.299
specific targets or enlarge swarms, take out

00:16:56.299 --> 00:16:58.299
whole areas. If you're just trying to carpet

00:16:58.299 --> 00:17:02.100
bomb, that's incredibly effective. Yeah. And

00:17:02.100 --> 00:17:05.059
those the swarms that have been on display from

00:17:05.059 --> 00:17:09.400
China. Thousands. They're used for air display

00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:13.259
shows. Imagine if every one of those was carrying

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:19.509
a five kilogram. 12 -pound charge. Because one

00:17:19.509 --> 00:17:21.289
of those will destroy your car, basically, effectively.

00:17:21.289 --> 00:17:22.730
If you were in your car and that drops on it,

00:17:22.750 --> 00:17:24.730
you're done. Yeah, you could effectively level

00:17:24.730 --> 00:17:30.450
the working potential of a major city. Well,

00:17:30.509 --> 00:17:33.930
not only that, but considering, too, if you fly

00:17:33.930 --> 00:17:37.190
over things like any sort of intelligence centers,

00:17:37.430 --> 00:17:40.289
the U .S. Capitol, anywhere else like that. Power

00:17:40.289 --> 00:17:42.569
plants. Yeah, infrastructure. I mean, Jesus.

00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:46.960
Data centers. Yeah. You could cripple entire

00:17:46.960 --> 00:17:49.920
areas of a country in the matter of hours by

00:17:49.920 --> 00:17:52.440
having several different swarms all refineries.

00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.779
Yeah. And mind you, there's a lot of stuff in

00:17:55.779 --> 00:17:57.400
America. The issue we have is a lot of the components

00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.799
for these things are not made here. A lot of

00:17:59.799 --> 00:18:01.059
those components are made in other countries.

00:18:01.059 --> 00:18:03.099
So the issue might be, hey, we can get some things

00:18:03.099 --> 00:18:06.519
working, but a lot of stuff, particularly electrical,

00:18:06.660 --> 00:18:09.799
we don't have here. So it would be, hey, this

00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:11.720
power plant's now down for six months to a year

00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.299
or sometimes even more. Or if it is made here,

00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:17.359
it takes so long. Like for power plants, some

00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:20.420
of the main big components are made here, but

00:18:20.420 --> 00:18:24.160
they're four, six, eight months lead time. So

00:18:24.160 --> 00:18:26.720
that's always been one of the talking points

00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:30.339
for if there's massive grid failures, we can

00:18:30.339 --> 00:18:34.180
get the grid back up eventually. It's going to

00:18:34.180 --> 00:18:35.819
take a long time to manufacture the parts that

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:39.799
get blown out. I mean, look what's happening

00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:41.779
after North Carolina, even after that hurricane

00:18:41.779 --> 00:18:43.640
that came through there. Oh, yeah. How long has

00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:48.140
that been now? Four months, six months, something

00:18:48.140 --> 00:18:50.720
like that. I don't know. When did it happen?

00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.140
Oh, God. What was the name of that hurricane?

00:18:55.119 --> 00:19:01.460
Helene? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. We're both screwing

00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:03.539
the pooch on this one. Oh, geez. That was a lot.

00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:09.440
Hurricane Helene. September 24th of 24. Yeah,

00:19:09.440 --> 00:19:14.069
buddy. Maybe eight months ago. Yeah. God damn.

00:19:14.750 --> 00:19:16.869
If, if it was hurricane Helena, I think it was,

00:19:16.869 --> 00:19:21.289
it is. Yeah. That was September 24th of 2024.

00:19:21.930 --> 00:19:26.009
And they're still not recovered. No. So, yeah.

00:19:27.569 --> 00:19:33.250
But, uh, so in, in, in continuing the, the pace

00:19:33.250 --> 00:19:36.970
on, on the drones, the war in Ukraine has shown

00:19:36.970 --> 00:19:38.910
what the future of conflict is going to look

00:19:38.910 --> 00:19:43.980
like. Um, We may not be fighting wars with boots

00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:47.220
on the ground. It's going to be a drone conflict,

00:19:47.420 --> 00:19:50.920
potentially. So whoever has the best drones,

00:19:51.059 --> 00:19:52.819
the most capable drones, the most maneuverable

00:19:52.819 --> 00:19:54.960
drones, looks like that's probably going to be

00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.480
who wins the war. It's also going to be a war

00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.019
of intelligence as well. Oh, absolutely. Because

00:20:00.019 --> 00:20:01.259
it's going to be data collection, intelligence,

00:20:01.299 --> 00:20:04.599
and then drones, pretty much. I was listening

00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:08.940
to, he was on the Unsubscribe podcast with Brandon

00:20:08.940 --> 00:20:11.029
Herrera and the rest of them. And he was talking

00:20:11.029 --> 00:20:12.789
about how the military is trying to shift to

00:20:12.789 --> 00:20:15.069
a less of an idea of boots on the ground and

00:20:15.069 --> 00:20:20.490
more about using drones and machinery and things

00:20:20.490 --> 00:20:22.789
like that, too, instead of putting lives at risk,

00:20:22.869 --> 00:20:24.670
which is very interesting because they're just

00:20:24.670 --> 00:20:27.430
now in the last couple of years trying to make

00:20:27.430 --> 00:20:30.589
that big switch. Well, that's because the technology

00:20:30.589 --> 00:20:35.250
is finally there. Oh, yeah. I mean, we've been

00:20:35.250 --> 00:20:37.630
lagging behind a lot in the drone technology.

00:20:41.250 --> 00:20:46.869
So the strike against Russia kind of shows how

00:20:46.869 --> 00:20:52.309
effective cheap drones can be. I don't have the

00:20:52.309 --> 00:20:55.329
numbers, and I wish I could find a better thing,

00:20:55.470 --> 00:20:59.309
but the cost of the drones that they used to

00:20:59.309 --> 00:21:02.690
take out Russia's strategic fleet, I want to

00:21:02.690 --> 00:21:07.029
say they probably used around $100 ,000 worth

00:21:07.029 --> 00:21:11.410
of drones. And they removed $6 billion worth

00:21:11.410 --> 00:21:16.049
of Russia's strategic assets. Now, I do want

00:21:16.049 --> 00:21:17.869
to interject a little bit because I did see that

00:21:17.869 --> 00:21:19.930
the drone, I don't know which ones Ukraine's

00:21:19.930 --> 00:21:22.309
using, but I know the ones that we're using that

00:21:22.309 --> 00:21:24.670
can run somewhat autonomously are roughly 50

00:21:24.670 --> 00:21:29.250
,000 each. So it could be, you know, even a million

00:21:29.250 --> 00:21:31.369
dollars worth of drones, depending if they're

00:21:31.369 --> 00:21:32.890
the nice ones. I don't know which ones they use,

00:21:32.990 --> 00:21:34.470
if they're the cheap ones. But that being said,

00:21:34.609 --> 00:21:39.079
that ratio is still insane. That is incredible.

00:21:39.680 --> 00:21:41.839
Also, the planes they took out aren't exactly

00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:45.440
being made anymore either. Well, Russia has massive

00:21:45.440 --> 00:21:48.900
manufacturing issues, so they've barely been

00:21:48.900 --> 00:21:50.519
able to afford their own military for over a

00:21:50.519 --> 00:21:53.059
decade. Yeah. It's like, yeah, they have a lot,

00:21:53.099 --> 00:21:55.160
but a lot of it was built 10, 20 years ago or

00:21:55.160 --> 00:21:58.859
designed 10, 20 years ago. Exactly. So, yeah,

00:21:58.920 --> 00:22:01.779
the losses that Russia incurred are going to

00:22:01.779 --> 00:22:05.519
be felt for quite a while. And then they did

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:09.670
just retaliate, too. They launched some retaliatory

00:22:09.670 --> 00:22:15.049
attacks on population centers in Kiev. Kiev.

00:22:16.410 --> 00:22:22.809
Yeah. So there were some strikes there. It wasn't

00:22:22.809 --> 00:22:24.450
as bad as it could have been. They were able

00:22:24.450 --> 00:22:28.650
to shoot down some of the munitions, but yeah.

00:22:31.190 --> 00:22:34.410
The new FPV drones, first -person view drones.

00:22:35.389 --> 00:22:37.910
Those are the ones that are the super agile ones

00:22:37.910 --> 00:22:40.950
that they use in races and such, the VR -enabled

00:22:40.950 --> 00:22:45.789
headsets. They're extremely agile and very inexpensive.

00:22:47.109 --> 00:22:49.990
They can be used as weapons and also intelligence

00:22:49.990 --> 00:22:52.849
gathering. So you can use them to target, you

00:22:52.849 --> 00:22:57.089
can use them to laze for other munitions. And

00:22:57.089 --> 00:22:59.009
again, they're very inexpensive. You can build

00:22:59.009 --> 00:23:02.690
those things for $50, $60. And the nice thing

00:23:02.690 --> 00:23:04.009
about those ones, too, is because they're much

00:23:04.009 --> 00:23:06.410
smaller, also much quieter. Yes. You can get

00:23:06.410 --> 00:23:08.109
them up to a few hundred feet. You really can't

00:23:08.109 --> 00:23:10.509
hear them. No one. That was that was always the

00:23:10.509 --> 00:23:12.390
problem with previous generations of drones were

00:23:12.390 --> 00:23:15.730
loud. Yeah, they were fucking loud as shit. And

00:23:15.730 --> 00:23:19.170
they had no stealth capability. Whereas now you're

00:23:19.170 --> 00:23:21.109
seeing some drones. So I was watching some videos

00:23:21.109 --> 00:23:23.569
from the from the front lines to where Ukrainians

00:23:23.569 --> 00:23:25.569
are able to get the drones in like 50 to 100

00:23:25.569 --> 00:23:28.119
feet. Oh, yeah. Of the soldiers. And there's

00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:29.259
nothing they can do because by the time they

00:23:29.259 --> 00:23:30.640
turn around to see him, they get smacked in the

00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:38.720
face with five pounds of fuck you. Yeah. So both

00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:41.460
Russia and Ukraine, as well as many other countries,

00:23:41.539 --> 00:23:45.259
China, the U .S., Poland, Germany, France, England,

00:23:45.359 --> 00:23:48.700
all are heavily investing in drone technology,

00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:52.400
leading to a new rapid cycle of innovation and

00:23:52.400 --> 00:23:55.880
countermeasures. So we're going to find out real

00:23:55.880 --> 00:23:59.940
quick what gets deployed to the battlefield and

00:23:59.940 --> 00:24:03.839
what this next phase of warfare is going to look

00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.900
like with drones. Outside the battlefield, though,

00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:12.680
the commercial boom for drones, a lot of companies

00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:16.000
are trying to use them for last mile of delivery

00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:19.160
and even whole mile delivery, if that's the correct

00:24:19.160 --> 00:24:24.700
phrase. Amazon. uh pizza places are trying to

00:24:24.700 --> 00:24:29.240
do drones from distribution to customer pickup

00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:33.660
taking the humans right out of the equation so

00:24:33.660 --> 00:24:39.259
there go more jobs yay well hey now is the time

00:24:39.259 --> 00:24:40.920
if you want to get into drone maintenance or

00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:43.700
drone technicians or anything like that oh yeah

00:24:43.700 --> 00:24:46.279
literally get into it now learn how to work on

00:24:46.279 --> 00:24:47.660
all of them find the ones they're gonna get the

00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:49.920
contracts to and see if you can get a service

00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:52.380
contract, you're going to make so much money.

00:24:52.640 --> 00:24:57.599
Yep. I would like to take a moment and just reemphasize

00:24:57.599 --> 00:25:00.880
that learning to use and work with your hands,

00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:06.460
these little fleshy bags of fun, definitely going

00:25:06.460 --> 00:25:09.839
to be a way to secure your future in the coming

00:25:09.839 --> 00:25:15.720
years. AI will definitely take jobs. We'll talk

00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.819
about that. Oh, yeah, we're getting there. Drones

00:25:19.819 --> 00:25:21.700
are also being used to inspect bridges, power

00:25:21.700 --> 00:25:24.299
lines, and other critical infrastructure. Other

00:25:24.299 --> 00:25:27.359
jobs that have been done by humans. They were.

00:25:28.720 --> 00:25:31.819
Agriculture. Farmers are using drones to monitor

00:25:31.819 --> 00:25:35.720
crops, apply pesticides, and optimize irrigation.

00:25:37.779 --> 00:25:41.160
More jobs that used to be done by humans. The

00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:43.359
problem is farmers can't afford to have humans

00:25:43.359 --> 00:25:45.539
do that nowadays. No, they can't because they

00:25:45.539 --> 00:25:48.279
can buy one drone or pay a bunch of... People

00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:51.700
that may not show up every year. Exactly. So

00:25:51.700 --> 00:25:56.240
emergency services, this one I do like. Drones

00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.339
are proving to be invaluable tools for search

00:26:00.339 --> 00:26:03.319
and rescue operations, providing an aerial perspective

00:26:03.319 --> 00:26:06.160
in disaster zones. Being able to see where you

00:26:06.160 --> 00:26:08.660
cannot see in a rescue situation is absolutely

00:26:08.660 --> 00:26:11.500
vital. Mountain rescuers have been using drones

00:26:11.500 --> 00:26:14.359
for the last few years for like avalanche recovery,

00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:18.940
mountain search and rescue. Police have been

00:26:18.940 --> 00:26:22.680
using drones for finding people that are evading

00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.599
them using like FLIR technology. Absolutely indispensable

00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.920
for those kind of applications. And I do support

00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:33.680
that kind of use. Those are the kinds of situations

00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:38.599
you need that eye in the sky to find the person

00:26:38.599 --> 00:26:42.640
as quickly as possible. I just worry the government's

00:26:42.640 --> 00:26:44.440
going to take it too far. You know, that's going

00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:48.430
to come a day with another one. The government

00:26:48.430 --> 00:26:51.829
would never take it too far. No, no. They would

00:26:51.829 --> 00:26:54.809
never do that. I know, but silly goose, I'll

00:26:54.809 --> 00:26:59.029
have to tell you. But I guess that's my thing

00:26:59.029 --> 00:27:02.190
is I love the availability. Yes. Of having these

00:27:02.190 --> 00:27:05.410
drones here. One thing I like about the availability

00:27:05.410 --> 00:27:09.589
is it's not just them that can have them. Yes,

00:27:09.589 --> 00:27:12.890
for now. We, as the general public, have access

00:27:12.890 --> 00:27:17.619
to building materials, 3D printers. GitHub is

00:27:17.619 --> 00:27:20.339
a thing. Yes. We have access to the resources

00:27:20.339 --> 00:27:23.779
and can make these things ourselves for now.

00:27:24.380 --> 00:27:27.119
Yes. I know there are people already talking

00:27:27.119 --> 00:27:29.480
about limiting the size and or weight of what

00:27:29.480 --> 00:27:33.119
civilians can have. Yeah, but if shit breaks

00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:36.380
down, it's not going to matter. But what I'm

00:27:36.380 --> 00:27:40.420
getting at is in the first moments of if there's

00:27:40.420 --> 00:27:43.359
something that happens, we will be at a distinct

00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:46.269
disadvantage as civilians if those... um restrictions

00:27:46.269 --> 00:27:51.670
go through yes now what we are quickly entering

00:27:51.670 --> 00:27:54.869
the world of 1984 with this because inversely

00:27:54.869 --> 00:27:58.549
you will really have no privacy going forward

00:27:58.549 --> 00:28:02.390
give it a few years to where once the police

00:28:02.390 --> 00:28:05.369
departments start cutting you know officers but

00:28:05.369 --> 00:28:07.730
getting more drones on board start using more

00:28:07.730 --> 00:28:11.210
surveillance um it's going to be the case of

00:28:11.210 --> 00:28:12.990
they're going to have drones just patrolling

00:28:12.990 --> 00:28:15.380
neighborhoods and videoing you know every time

00:28:15.380 --> 00:28:18.299
you're outside your house yeah you know that's

00:28:18.299 --> 00:28:22.420
i don't know i get it in some ways that's the

00:28:22.420 --> 00:28:24.720
thing that people need to realize officers have

00:28:24.720 --> 00:28:26.839
to be paid a salary drones have to be purchased

00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:31.000
once i i think we're going to be switching to

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:32.500
a police system at some point where that there

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:35.480
will not be police officers patrolling your skies

00:28:35.480 --> 00:28:37.259
will be filled with small drones that will be

00:28:37.259 --> 00:28:39.839
too small for you to hear you might barely be

00:28:39.839 --> 00:28:41.900
able to see them but they will be going through

00:28:41.900 --> 00:28:44.599
a monitoring and listening The drones will be

00:28:44.599 --> 00:28:47.119
there to monitor. The police officers will be

00:28:47.119 --> 00:28:49.519
there to respond. Exactly what I'm getting at.

00:28:50.000 --> 00:28:52.119
To give you guys an idea, our technology is already

00:28:52.119 --> 00:28:54.440
at this point because in my city where I live

00:28:54.440 --> 00:28:57.700
in, they had a program 10 years ago to where

00:28:57.700 --> 00:29:01.240
they installed these very high fidelity microphones

00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:04.180
all around the city to where if a gunshot went

00:29:04.180 --> 00:29:06.279
off, they could triangulate it and get to the

00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:12.029
position. What's insane... is they only put a

00:29:12.029 --> 00:29:13.609
few hundred thousand dollars into that program.

00:29:13.710 --> 00:29:16.390
And that was over 10 years ago. And it was accurate

00:29:16.390 --> 00:29:20.069
up to about six to 10 feet of where they located

00:29:20.069 --> 00:29:23.470
it. How do I know this? Because my neighbor,

00:29:23.549 --> 00:29:27.430
they had a deer that got hit and he likes to

00:29:27.430 --> 00:29:28.950
skin the deers and stuff like that and take the

00:29:28.950 --> 00:29:31.029
deer meat and whatever. And he called up the

00:29:31.029 --> 00:29:33.230
police and said, Hey, this deer just got hit.

00:29:33.269 --> 00:29:35.970
I'm a hunter. I want the meat. Can I kill it?

00:29:36.509 --> 00:29:38.230
and put it out of its misery and take the meat

00:29:38.230 --> 00:29:39.670
because if you guys take too long to get here

00:29:39.670 --> 00:29:40.910
it's going to spoil and then you have to dispose

00:29:40.910 --> 00:29:46.750
of it and they said well i guess hold on and

00:29:46.750 --> 00:29:48.269
he waited a little bit wait about five minutes

00:29:48.269 --> 00:29:50.910
i called back and said sure well the automated

00:29:50.910 --> 00:29:54.279
system detected the gunshot And so they sent

00:29:54.279 --> 00:29:57.279
other officers over to investigate and see if

00:29:57.279 --> 00:29:58.700
some officers there have been like, oh, thanks,

00:29:58.779 --> 00:29:59.839
man, for handling. The other ones were like,

00:29:59.880 --> 00:30:02.140
we were just told you fired. You know, there's

00:30:02.140 --> 00:30:03.640
a firearm fire right here. Get down. You're being

00:30:03.640 --> 00:30:05.819
arrested. It was a whole big kerfuffle. He ended

00:30:05.819 --> 00:30:09.279
up being fine. But what was insane was they recorded

00:30:09.279 --> 00:30:11.539
it. It was within like six to 10 feet is what

00:30:11.539 --> 00:30:14.099
the officers were telling me. And this is technology

00:30:14.099 --> 00:30:17.779
from 10 years ago. Yeah. 10. And I don't live

00:30:17.779 --> 00:30:20.779
in a big city. Yeah. So. So imagine what's going

00:30:20.779 --> 00:30:23.720
to happen with all these drones. And having layers

00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:25.960
and layers of surveillance and layers and layers

00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:27.779
of all this on top of each other, you won't be

00:30:27.779 --> 00:30:29.200
able to fart outside your house before you get

00:30:29.200 --> 00:30:31.079
a fucking fine. Are you kidding me like that?

00:30:31.720 --> 00:30:33.519
That's going to be insane. That's CO2 emissions.

00:30:33.619 --> 00:30:37.160
That's methane emissions. Exactly, exactly. Unlicensed

00:30:37.160 --> 00:30:42.180
release of methane, $5 fine. Oh, did you ever

00:30:42.180 --> 00:30:44.220
watch Demolition Man? Are you talking about the

00:30:44.220 --> 00:30:49.039
swearing scene? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. You have

00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:51.440
been fined one credit for violation of the methane

00:30:51.440 --> 00:30:55.880
parameters. That's what's going to happen. Or,

00:30:55.920 --> 00:30:57.460
like, what's going to get weird is stuff like,

00:30:57.519 --> 00:30:59.700
imagine if somebody has a pool and you want to

00:30:59.700 --> 00:31:00.920
go skinny dipping. They'll be like, you know,

00:31:01.000 --> 00:31:02.920
you're fined $5 for public indecency. It's like,

00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:05.420
motherfucker, I made my yard. But they're like,

00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:08.920
no, they can see you. They're watching. They're

00:31:08.920 --> 00:31:12.180
watching, Dave. I can see you. Yeah, I'll encourage

00:31:12.180 --> 00:31:13.960
them to watch. I'll just shove my ass up to the

00:31:13.960 --> 00:31:19.059
sky and be like, Watch here. Free chocolate stoppage

00:31:19.059 --> 00:31:25.319
for all who attend. God, people go broke if public

00:31:25.319 --> 00:31:28.000
nudity and swearing is something they can get

00:31:28.000 --> 00:31:31.000
fined for. I know. Imagine the people in road

00:31:31.000 --> 00:31:36.089
rage. Jesus. Imagine you just do like, fuck this

00:31:36.089 --> 00:31:38.250
dude. And a drone just comes down next to you

00:31:38.250 --> 00:31:39.869
and it'd be like, I'm sorry, you've now been

00:31:39.869 --> 00:31:41.990
fined. God damn it, you've been fined again.

00:31:42.049 --> 00:31:45.289
Fuck you. I'm fined again. Dude, that would just,

00:31:45.410 --> 00:31:50.490
that would endlessly escalate. Oh, yeah. We're

00:31:50.490 --> 00:31:52.450
going to live in a wild world where when you

00:31:52.450 --> 00:31:54.470
can't be nude on your own property, but people,

00:31:54.549 --> 00:31:57.049
endless amount of people do it on OnlyFans. Oh,

00:31:57.049 --> 00:31:59.269
yeah. Well, they're getting paid for it, so.

00:32:03.679 --> 00:32:12.240
I just don't like this. Yep. But, yeah, drones

00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:14.279
are going to become a thing. And sure, we might

00:32:14.279 --> 00:32:16.299
be a little bit hyperbolic now, but I feel like

00:32:16.299 --> 00:32:18.940
five or ten years from now, we're going to be

00:32:18.940 --> 00:32:23.119
100 % vindicated. Probably. You know, this show

00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:25.539
eventually will be calling us prophets. The prophets

00:32:25.539 --> 00:32:31.599
of doom. You know. Oh, we should make some videos

00:32:31.599 --> 00:32:34.750
about that. Having us on stage and people just

00:32:34.750 --> 00:32:36.789
bowing down to us. We could do that with that

00:32:36.789 --> 00:32:38.509
new VO3 engine that you want to talk about. Oh,

00:32:38.509 --> 00:32:41.750
we're getting there. There's the segue. We're

00:32:41.750 --> 00:32:44.190
getting there. Yeah, because I've hit all the

00:32:44.190 --> 00:32:47.809
drone points. We can go into the VO3 stuff. Okay.

00:32:48.809 --> 00:32:52.990
So the big thing that's... The other huge news

00:32:52.990 --> 00:32:57.470
of the internet is Google released basically

00:32:57.470 --> 00:33:03.700
an AI video generated tool. Called Veo 3 now

00:33:03.700 --> 00:33:07.019
there was Veo 2 Which that was pretty good that

00:33:07.019 --> 00:33:10.319
was what was of use with the original? So Veo

00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:13.240
1 was the original Will Smith AI thing and Veo

00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:15.220
2 is what they've been using recently well Veo

00:33:15.220 --> 00:33:23.200
3 came out and Veo 3 is terrifying if you work

00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.900
in Hollywood oh because I Have to be honest with

00:33:27.900 --> 00:33:32.220
you It will generate both the audio and the video

00:33:32.220 --> 00:33:34.539
of the prompts that you give it, and it can generate

00:33:34.539 --> 00:33:38.619
things like its own jokes, its own context. It'll

00:33:38.619 --> 00:33:41.400
do entire episodes. They're even working on one

00:33:41.400 --> 00:33:45.140
to eventually be doing entire movies. But what's

00:33:45.140 --> 00:33:48.180
crazy is it's you can sometimes tell most of

00:33:48.180 --> 00:33:51.119
the time you can tell it's AI, but you were in

00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:54.160
that uncanny valley area to where sometimes you

00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:58.180
can't even tell that it's AI. I sent him a video

00:33:58.180 --> 00:34:01.799
before we went live tonight, and I said, hey,

00:34:01.839 --> 00:34:04.339
you have to see this. It's hilarious. It's disturbingly

00:34:04.339 --> 00:34:08.840
gross, but it's made with the new VO3 engine.

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:12.980
He thought the first half of it was real. And

00:34:12.980 --> 00:34:15.320
normally, I'm pretty good at spotting this stuff

00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:17.760
because I know what to look for. It even fooled

00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.400
me. And what scares me is how many people over

00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:22.960
the age of 55 or 60 that are on Facebook that

00:34:22.960 --> 00:34:25.099
are going to start believing every fucking video.

00:34:25.789 --> 00:34:28.949
that they see, it's going to be pure pandemonium.

00:34:29.190 --> 00:34:34.429
The issue we see also, I have two concerns that

00:34:34.429 --> 00:34:36.570
I've been thinking of. One, if this is just now

00:34:36.570 --> 00:34:41.090
becoming commercially available to people, what

00:34:41.090 --> 00:34:42.809
has the government had access to for the last

00:34:42.809 --> 00:34:45.909
10 or 20 years? How many things have we thought

00:34:45.909 --> 00:34:48.989
that we've seen or that we've been showed that

00:34:48.989 --> 00:34:50.969
maybe it wasn't the whole truth and maybe it

00:34:50.969 --> 00:34:55.559
was edited? Number two, the... The more concerning

00:34:55.559 --> 00:34:58.440
thing, you have shows like Saturday Night Live

00:34:58.440 --> 00:35:00.599
or even all the Marvel movies and TV shows and

00:35:00.599 --> 00:35:02.599
everything else, all these huge productions with

00:35:02.599 --> 00:35:05.579
all these writers and directors and everything.

00:35:05.699 --> 00:35:09.340
And the actors. And the actors. What's scary

00:35:09.340 --> 00:35:14.539
is I have laughed more from these AI comedy clips

00:35:14.539 --> 00:35:16.639
than I have from any Marvel thing in the last

00:35:16.639 --> 00:35:19.739
five years. What terrifies me is these are funnier

00:35:19.739 --> 00:35:23.559
than SNL. Oh, yeah. I'm I'm keeping politics

00:35:23.559 --> 00:35:27.400
out of it. No bias, no nothing. It's genuinely

00:35:27.400 --> 00:35:31.960
funny because I think I think it doesn't have

00:35:31.960 --> 00:35:35.420
to take into account any sort of public backlash

00:35:35.420 --> 00:35:38.679
or any sort of. Well, that's a lot like any sort

00:35:38.679 --> 00:35:42.139
of politics or anything. It's just doing what

00:35:42.139 --> 00:35:44.199
it's seeing other shows do that are successful.

00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:48.579
And what's crazy is what I will say as far as

00:35:48.579 --> 00:35:54.539
SNL goes, the. The scenes where they've had Scarlett

00:35:54.539 --> 00:35:57.119
Johansson's husband and the other news anchor

00:35:57.119 --> 00:36:00.480
reading each other's unviewed jokes. Oh, God,

00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:02.659
those are hilarious. That's one of the few good

00:36:02.659 --> 00:36:05.920
things on SNL right now. Yeah. But a lot of it's

00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:08.440
just been very, very crap, very politicized.

00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:12.780
But it's crazy that the AI can do a convincing

00:36:12.780 --> 00:36:17.449
TV show at a moment's notice. what's going to

00:36:17.449 --> 00:36:19.869
be insane is mind you we're just at the third

00:36:19.869 --> 00:36:22.289
iteration of this in the last couple of years

00:36:22.289 --> 00:36:26.309
and every time also yeah this engine was only

00:36:26.309 --> 00:36:30.449
released on may 20th yeah that's all the longer

00:36:30.449 --> 00:36:32.829
this has been out we've got three to four weeks

00:36:32.829 --> 00:36:36.889
of content that's already that good give this

00:36:36.889 --> 00:36:41.849
engine some time to mature and holy shit there

00:36:41.849 --> 00:36:44.329
there were already people working on taking like

00:36:44.329 --> 00:36:50.269
um TV shows and make it into real life. I saw

00:36:50.269 --> 00:36:52.550
one guy was trying to use some of the prompts

00:36:52.550 --> 00:36:55.349
to redo some like the old Batman animated shows

00:36:55.349 --> 00:36:58.349
to make it into like real life. It's kind of

00:36:58.349 --> 00:37:00.050
crazy because they're just trying to use prompts

00:37:00.050 --> 00:37:02.469
and be able to have it regenerate the same characters

00:37:02.469 --> 00:37:06.030
over and over. It's going to be difficult. I

00:37:06.030 --> 00:37:10.730
wonder, could you take a digital copy of a book

00:37:10.730 --> 00:37:15.250
and feed it into this engine? and get some kind

00:37:15.250 --> 00:37:19.949
of like a a play out that's the goal oh god i

00:37:19.949 --> 00:37:23.190
i have so i have some books i want to see well

00:37:23.190 --> 00:37:25.989
here's here's what's going to be crazy and i

00:37:25.989 --> 00:37:27.550
know we discussed this on a previous podcast

00:37:27.550 --> 00:37:29.369
but this is a point i really want to reiterate

00:37:29.369 --> 00:37:34.630
with this the way ai is going we are eventually

00:37:34.630 --> 00:37:36.949
going to be the curators of all of our own content

00:37:37.929 --> 00:37:40.070
There is going to become a point very soon to

00:37:40.070 --> 00:37:42.510
where humans will no longer have shared experiences

00:37:42.510 --> 00:37:45.730
when it comes to media. It used to be we all

00:37:45.730 --> 00:37:47.929
meet up, we go to the movies, we get some snacks

00:37:47.929 --> 00:37:50.170
with each other, maybe we catch dinner before

00:37:50.170 --> 00:37:53.210
or after, but we all have that shared equal experience

00:37:53.210 --> 00:37:55.630
of watching and appreciating the same content.

00:37:56.750 --> 00:37:58.969
What's going to change in the next few years

00:37:58.969 --> 00:38:01.030
is they're going to say, hey, we know what movies

00:38:01.030 --> 00:38:04.150
you like. What if we made you your own movie?

00:38:05.070 --> 00:38:06.829
And we make it exactly the way you want. If you

00:38:06.829 --> 00:38:08.730
don't like something, you could ask the AI to

00:38:08.730 --> 00:38:11.690
change it. Every ending can be what you want.

00:38:11.989 --> 00:38:14.989
Every movie for you will be a happy ending. Or

00:38:14.989 --> 00:38:18.230
you get yourself a Neuralink and you can edit

00:38:18.230 --> 00:38:22.710
it while it's playing. That's even a whole other...

00:38:22.710 --> 00:38:27.449
That I don't like even more. But what's going

00:38:27.449 --> 00:38:31.369
to scare me is not the age brackets that you

00:38:31.369 --> 00:38:33.050
and I are in because we're used to standardized

00:38:33.050 --> 00:38:36.610
movies. Here comes the question for the kids

00:38:36.610 --> 00:38:39.550
that are being born now that are going to be

00:38:39.550 --> 00:38:41.849
brought up in the world of AI movies and content.

00:38:42.769 --> 00:38:45.250
Will they ever know anything other than watching

00:38:45.250 --> 00:38:47.590
what they want, how they want, exactly the way

00:38:47.590 --> 00:38:51.489
that they want it? Right. I just had a very terrifying

00:38:51.489 --> 00:38:56.269
thought, Gibbs. Real 4D movies where with said

00:38:56.269 --> 00:38:58.369
Neuralink, you cannot just edit how the movie

00:38:58.369 --> 00:39:01.650
goes. You can actually feel what's going on.

00:39:02.849 --> 00:39:04.929
Viscerally. I will tell you this right now. Horror

00:39:04.929 --> 00:39:09.170
movies would take on a whole new edge. We will

00:39:09.170 --> 00:39:12.969
choose The Matrix. Oh, yeah. The way we are going,

00:39:13.130 --> 00:39:15.369
people are going to say, you know what? I will

00:39:15.369 --> 00:39:17.010
choose it. What was his name in the first Matrix

00:39:17.010 --> 00:39:19.510
movie that says, I know the steak isn't real?

00:39:19.849 --> 00:39:23.630
Cypher. Cypher. Thank you. I bet you 99 % of

00:39:23.630 --> 00:39:26.989
people will choose to be Cypher. Yep. I choose

00:39:26.989 --> 00:39:31.369
ignorance. And you know what's scary? I get it.

00:39:31.659 --> 00:39:34.159
I'm not going to do it, but I get it because,

00:39:34.340 --> 00:39:36.179
you know, those of us that have already been

00:39:36.179 --> 00:39:40.099
around, we get what reality is, but you're going

00:39:40.099 --> 00:39:41.500
to be talking about having a whole different

00:39:41.500 --> 00:39:44.820
idea of what a shared reality is when the AI

00:39:44.820 --> 00:39:48.239
is going to be where they live. Now, here comes

00:39:48.239 --> 00:39:52.900
in the more immediate term. How long will it

00:39:52.900 --> 00:39:55.980
be until Hollywood and the movie industry and

00:39:55.980 --> 00:39:58.840
the music industry starts fighting against this?

00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:03.090
Because. why would you hire all these writers

00:40:03.090 --> 00:40:05.789
on SNL when an AI can literally be funnier like

00:40:05.789 --> 00:40:08.050
80 % of the time? Why wouldn't they just let

00:40:08.050 --> 00:40:10.150
the AI write everything and then have the actual

00:40:10.150 --> 00:40:12.889
people review it and be like, that's funny, that's

00:40:12.889 --> 00:40:15.650
not, that is, that's not, edit this. That's probably

00:40:15.650 --> 00:40:18.809
going to be the first step. And I think you're

00:40:18.809 --> 00:40:19.969
going to start seeing that. You're going to see

00:40:19.969 --> 00:40:23.130
this weird problem where all the AI that they're

00:40:23.130 --> 00:40:25.449
using are going to start doing very similar things.

00:40:25.530 --> 00:40:27.769
If you thought stuff between Marvel and DC and

00:40:27.769 --> 00:40:29.880
everything was similar now, Wait until they're

00:40:29.880 --> 00:40:32.139
using the same AI that does the same kind of

00:40:32.139 --> 00:40:34.480
jokes in the same kind of way, the same kind

00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:37.440
of camera movements and everything. It's going

00:40:37.440 --> 00:40:39.860
to get weird. And it's going to get repetitive

00:40:39.860 --> 00:40:43.039
and scripted. Oh, speaking of camera movements,

00:40:43.239 --> 00:40:46.619
I sent you a link to a thing. There's a new process

00:40:46.619 --> 00:40:48.559
coming out. It's going to be used a lot for sporting

00:40:48.559 --> 00:40:53.320
events. Mostly it's going to be focused on the

00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:57.409
after the broadcast is done. But people can interact

00:40:57.409 --> 00:41:00.170
with it and get camera angles from any point

00:41:00.170 --> 00:41:03.750
in 3D space. Eventually, it's going to be done

00:41:03.750 --> 00:41:08.670
with AI agents where it can be done in near real

00:41:08.670 --> 00:41:13.889
time. So the whole idea is eventually. So I don't

00:41:13.889 --> 00:41:15.250
know if you know, this is actually a couple of

00:41:15.250 --> 00:41:17.690
restaurants that do something similar to where

00:41:17.690 --> 00:41:19.889
they have a giant screen that that's literally

00:41:19.889 --> 00:41:22.590
like 40 feet. Yes, I've seen those. I've seen

00:41:22.590 --> 00:41:24.869
those. okay that's eventually going to come to

00:41:24.869 --> 00:41:27.289
your home through this idea to where you're going

00:41:27.289 --> 00:41:31.469
to pay for a digital seat and you're going to

00:41:31.469 --> 00:41:33.269
be able to move that around in 3d space or pay

00:41:33.269 --> 00:41:35.329
for a better upgrade or whatever but you'll be

00:41:35.329 --> 00:41:37.949
able to sit there and watch the game from your

00:41:37.949 --> 00:41:40.550
vr headset or from your tv or whatever and you

00:41:40.550 --> 00:41:46.170
have your digital seat um yeah i'll i'll take

00:41:46.170 --> 00:41:49.949
a i don't do sports but i wouldn't mind watching

00:41:49.949 --> 00:41:53.349
like a an mna fight or something you know Go

00:41:53.349 --> 00:41:57.730
and watch. You know, a real boxing match where

00:41:57.730 --> 00:42:08.489
we get, you know, a 3D Tyson cheeks, maybe. The

00:42:08.489 --> 00:42:13.489
I don't know. It's cool technologically. But

00:42:13.489 --> 00:42:14.929
boy, do I think a lot of people are going to

00:42:14.929 --> 00:42:17.510
start checking out of reality soon. It keeps

00:42:17.510 --> 00:42:20.610
going this way. I mean, do people sleep in VR

00:42:20.610 --> 00:42:26.590
already? What? So, yeah. What is it? VR chat.

00:42:30.070 --> 00:42:33.190
What do you mean they sleep in VR chat? Yeah,

00:42:33.210 --> 00:42:35.710
people actually use VR chat with their headsets

00:42:35.710 --> 00:42:40.789
and they sleep in VR. Why? They have dedicated

00:42:40.789 --> 00:42:49.170
rooms. Ambience. I'm getting old for this shit.

00:42:49.730 --> 00:42:55.099
This is... These young kids and these goddamn

00:42:55.099 --> 00:42:59.179
contraptions with these Harvard. I just I don't

00:42:59.179 --> 00:43:03.559
know. I don't get it. Right. That's scary. I

00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:06.360
mean, like, I understand if you're like a poor

00:43:06.360 --> 00:43:08.099
African country where, like, you don't want to

00:43:08.099 --> 00:43:10.019
look at the hut that you live in. I get that,

00:43:10.019 --> 00:43:13.690
too. I would be the same. But, like, I know I

00:43:13.690 --> 00:43:15.110
just offended a lot of people, but I really don't

00:43:15.110 --> 00:43:18.550
care. But at the same point, like, if you're

00:43:18.550 --> 00:43:20.530
someone that's privileged in, like, a first world

00:43:20.530 --> 00:43:23.190
country, like, what's so wrong about your life

00:43:23.190 --> 00:43:25.730
where you can't sleep in your bed? Like, I don't

00:43:25.730 --> 00:43:26.989
know. Like, you know what, though? I wouldn't

00:43:26.989 --> 00:43:28.150
understand if you're in, like, a dorm situation

00:43:28.150 --> 00:43:29.690
or maybe you have to, like, share a room with

00:43:29.690 --> 00:43:31.889
somebody. Like, that I would kind of understand,

00:43:32.150 --> 00:43:36.429
but... I am 30 or 40 years old. I do not need

00:43:36.429 --> 00:43:45.239
this. Goddamn. The world never ceases to amaze

00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:48.880
and confound and confuse me. Right. Good lord.

00:43:49.079 --> 00:43:55.539
Sleeping in VR chat. Yep. What happens? Like,

00:43:55.539 --> 00:43:57.239
what happens when someone comes in the room and

00:43:57.239 --> 00:44:00.599
just starts yelling at you? Pull your headset

00:44:00.599 --> 00:44:03.420
off? User has joined your server. Fuck you, you

00:44:03.420 --> 00:44:07.679
stupid bitch! Well, no, they're passworded out,

00:44:07.739 --> 00:44:10.590
so it would have to be hacked, but... I mean,

00:44:10.610 --> 00:44:12.670
like, I've been in those rooms just to see what

00:44:12.670 --> 00:44:15.849
they're like. And they are, they're nice. They're

00:44:15.849 --> 00:44:18.429
serene. They're relaxing. Call me the VR Kool

00:44:18.429 --> 00:44:19.409
-Aid man because I'm going to haunt your fucking

00:44:19.409 --> 00:44:25.849
dreams. Oh, yeah. Get real close to them and

00:44:25.849 --> 00:44:28.449
they just start whispering the weird shit. How

00:44:28.449 --> 00:44:34.050
do you like it moist? Give me that clam chowder.

00:44:34.869 --> 00:44:42.239
Some fresh oyster gravy. Put that in someone's

00:44:42.239 --> 00:44:46.300
head while they're sleeping. You know, the amount

00:44:46.300 --> 00:44:48.480
of confused nightmares you're going to cause.

00:44:49.719 --> 00:44:54.860
You know. Someone's going to be waking up and

00:44:54.860 --> 00:44:57.559
thinking, I don't even like seafood. I don't

00:44:57.559 --> 00:45:06.380
get this. I don't understand. Oh, my God. I just.

00:45:07.400 --> 00:45:09.340
Or you could sit there and just talk to them

00:45:09.340 --> 00:45:10.880
and just tell them all the most fucked up jokes

00:45:10.880 --> 00:45:15.039
you know. It's like, have you ever gone down

00:45:15.039 --> 00:45:18.719
on a girl, tasted semen, and thought to yourself,

00:45:18.980 --> 00:45:27.800
maybe that's how she died? I hate you. Oh my

00:45:27.800 --> 00:45:34.719
god. But yeah, so long story short, if you want

00:45:34.719 --> 00:45:36.639
to really see what... We got way off the rails.

00:45:37.070 --> 00:45:39.889
I know. That's half the fun, though. Look up

00:45:39.889 --> 00:45:43.469
VEO3. I think there's going to be a lot of situations

00:45:43.469 --> 00:45:46.269
where it's going to start taking over in a lot

00:45:46.269 --> 00:45:48.389
of video form content. There's a lot of stuff

00:45:48.389 --> 00:45:50.070
on YouTube already that's getting there. Same

00:45:50.070 --> 00:45:54.010
thing with TikTok. One of the things that is

00:45:54.010 --> 00:45:57.269
a problem with it. So there was already a law

00:45:57.269 --> 00:46:00.489
passed about AI deep fakes being used in explicit

00:46:00.489 --> 00:46:04.230
terms. What the fuck is that guy playing? Did

00:46:04.230 --> 00:46:06.659
you hear that loud ass car that drove by? Nope.

00:46:06.699 --> 00:46:08.860
No. Okay, cool. At least that's working. Anyway,

00:46:08.940 --> 00:46:11.780
sorry. It was playing weird music regardless.

00:46:13.719 --> 00:46:15.500
One of the concerns I want everyone to be aware

00:46:15.500 --> 00:46:17.400
of, I know we mentioned it in a previous podcast

00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:24.460
or two, double check any videos that people are

00:46:24.460 --> 00:46:26.679
reporting as news because this is getting to

00:46:26.679 --> 00:46:29.639
be so real that it's easy to see the misinformation,

00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:33.739
to see the deep fakes. It's very easy to not

00:46:33.739 --> 00:46:36.130
know. what is real anymore with some of these

00:46:36.130 --> 00:46:42.730
so just be aware be skeptical because uh i think

00:46:42.730 --> 00:46:44.409
a lot of videos are going to start being switched

00:46:44.409 --> 00:46:50.269
out for ai the only plus side though is i don't

00:46:50.269 --> 00:46:52.610
know about you guys but i like watching documentaries

00:46:52.610 --> 00:46:55.469
to learn stuff as well and i like to kind of

00:46:55.469 --> 00:46:59.130
you know watch stuff as i'm learning what i think

00:46:59.130 --> 00:47:00.849
is interesting is we can use ai to start using

00:47:00.849 --> 00:47:03.650
educationally I had to kind of teach people some

00:47:03.650 --> 00:47:04.909
stuff. I think that's going to be kind of neat.

00:47:06.010 --> 00:47:07.610
There's certain ways we can use it, which would

00:47:07.610 --> 00:47:11.190
be great, but holy hell. You can use AI to bring

00:47:11.190 --> 00:47:15.349
back educators that have passed. You know what?

00:47:15.389 --> 00:47:18.590
My favorite, I was watching, what was it? Ben

00:47:18.590 --> 00:47:22.230
Franklin. That'd be cool. Carl Sagan would be

00:47:22.230 --> 00:47:24.909
nice. I was watching Ben Franklin discuss how

00:47:24.909 --> 00:47:27.340
he discovered electricity. And then he went to

00:47:27.340 --> 00:47:30.059
grab some soups. This soup is absolutely busted.

00:47:30.300 --> 00:47:34.280
And I just, with the modern language being thrown

00:47:34.280 --> 00:47:38.559
in with him talking about it, I just died. I

00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:40.780
think there's a lot of kids, though, I think

00:47:40.780 --> 00:47:43.000
in high school, because history is such a dry

00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:47.300
subject, I feel like a great use of AI could

00:47:47.300 --> 00:47:51.059
be for things like history and English or even

00:47:51.059 --> 00:47:53.420
math in some cases to make it more relatable

00:47:53.420 --> 00:47:57.130
and more human. Because I watched an entire five

00:47:57.130 --> 00:47:59.309
-minute thing of George Washington walking through

00:47:59.309 --> 00:48:04.010
an old camp right after one of the battles. I

00:48:04.010 --> 00:48:06.349
forget which one. And just talking and interviewing

00:48:06.349 --> 00:48:08.429
other soldiers. And I'm sitting there thinking,

00:48:08.510 --> 00:48:10.250
this whole thing's fucking made up. But you know

00:48:10.250 --> 00:48:12.409
what? As someone that was a history teacher,

00:48:12.590 --> 00:48:15.809
everything checks out. It's pretty accurate.

00:48:15.949 --> 00:48:17.690
Sure, there's some things that are wrong. But

00:48:17.690 --> 00:48:19.929
they purposely throw in modern jargon and language

00:48:19.929 --> 00:48:22.110
just to make it funny and relatable. And I'm

00:48:22.110 --> 00:48:24.739
like, son of a bitch. You know, it's actually

00:48:24.739 --> 00:48:29.239
really good. It's kind of funny. So I don't know.

00:48:29.239 --> 00:48:31.039
I feel like there's so much potential. It's awesome.

00:48:31.320 --> 00:48:37.280
But it's also terrifying. Get big advice. Big

00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:38.820
advice here. I think in this podcast, we both

00:48:38.820 --> 00:48:41.300
agree with get a job where I can't replace you.

00:48:41.500 --> 00:48:44.440
Please. Yes. Offer some sort of service or something.

00:48:44.940 --> 00:48:47.780
Because fucking Christ. I'm sorry. If you're

00:48:47.780 --> 00:48:49.659
a script writer, if you work as like a camera

00:48:49.659 --> 00:48:52.719
guy or something like that. Womp womp. I'll have

00:48:52.719 --> 00:48:56.039
to tell you. You got replaced. Just wait till

00:48:56.039 --> 00:48:59.579
the porn bots come out. I'll be honest with you.

00:48:59.599 --> 00:49:01.119
I think a lot of women are not going to be on

00:49:01.119 --> 00:49:02.280
OnlyFans anymore because they're going to be

00:49:02.280 --> 00:49:11.340
replaced with bots. Done right now. One thing

00:49:11.340 --> 00:49:16.480
you got to kind of worry about. Can you really

00:49:16.480 --> 00:49:19.099
trust what you see on the Internet anymore? No

00:49:19.099 --> 00:49:21.239
past a certain point. Cause we're, we're not

00:49:21.239 --> 00:49:23.920
that far from that point. Really? That's why

00:49:23.920 --> 00:49:26.000
I really stress for people. If you want to keep

00:49:26.000 --> 00:49:28.500
up with the news, follow independent news journalists.

00:49:29.579 --> 00:49:31.739
I'm not saying there's any one that's the best.

00:49:31.860 --> 00:49:34.460
I really do like people like Steve, Steve pool.

00:49:34.500 --> 00:49:37.079
Oh my God, Tim pool. I feel like he's a good

00:49:37.079 --> 00:49:39.579
gateway into a lot of independent people. Dave

00:49:39.579 --> 00:49:41.980
Rubin. There's a few other ones as well. But

00:49:41.980 --> 00:49:44.960
like, seriously, if you follow just the mainstream,

00:49:45.900 --> 00:49:48.400
Everybody is copying using AI and putting like

00:49:48.400 --> 00:49:52.119
CNN or Fox or MSNBC, ABC. It's going to get really

00:49:52.119 --> 00:49:55.219
messy real quick. So follow independent journalists,

00:49:55.380 --> 00:50:03.599
please. Yeah. One other thing is people that

00:50:03.599 --> 00:50:07.559
actually take real videos, the real true stuff,

00:50:07.659 --> 00:50:10.320
and try to say, oh, that's just AI. Don't worry.

00:50:10.460 --> 00:50:14.679
It's fake. Yeah. Because again. The fake stuff

00:50:14.679 --> 00:50:18.780
is so real and believable, you almost can't tell

00:50:18.780 --> 00:50:21.860
the difference. There's going to be a big problem,

00:50:21.920 --> 00:50:23.780
I think, in the future, where when the elections

00:50:23.780 --> 00:50:26.980
come around a few years, of people posting rallies.

00:50:26.980 --> 00:50:28.360
That's the one I'm going to be watching for.

00:50:28.559 --> 00:50:30.579
Well, they'll be posting rallies before they

00:50:30.579 --> 00:50:33.219
happen with AI to control the narrative. I'm

00:50:33.219 --> 00:50:36.039
telling you right now, the biggest, I know we

00:50:36.039 --> 00:50:37.320
say this every year, and this is like an old

00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:38.579
trope, like this is the biggest election ever.

00:50:39.440 --> 00:50:43.480
The election coming up in 2028, It's going to

00:50:43.480 --> 00:50:45.460
be absolutely terrifying because you're not going

00:50:45.460 --> 00:50:49.039
to know whether it's real or not. The only way

00:50:49.039 --> 00:50:50.260
you're going to know what you're watching is

00:50:50.260 --> 00:50:53.659
real is if you watch it live. And even then,

00:50:53.679 --> 00:50:58.619
it could still be edited in real time. The flood

00:50:58.619 --> 00:51:02.619
on the morning after of reels that are going

00:51:02.619 --> 00:51:04.719
to come out and say this person won versus that

00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:07.179
person, I think that's going to be a big issue.

00:51:07.760 --> 00:51:10.400
I'm going to call that right now. Here it is,

00:51:10.460 --> 00:51:13.420
June 8th, 2025. I'm going to say there's going

00:51:13.420 --> 00:51:15.980
to be a shit ton of reels coming out one way

00:51:15.980 --> 00:51:18.960
or the other saying this candidate won when the

00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:21.420
other one actually won. Oh, I'm going to go like

00:51:21.420 --> 00:51:23.780
five steps further than you. I think it will

00:51:23.780 --> 00:51:27.059
be absolute mass violence after that. If you

00:51:27.059 --> 00:51:30.280
thought it was bad during the last three elections.

00:51:30.480 --> 00:51:33.159
2020. If you thought it was bad in 2020 or 2024,

00:51:33.260 --> 00:51:36.340
even 2016, you ain't seen nothing until you're

00:51:36.340 --> 00:51:38.960
going to have half the country convinced. one

00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:40.920
person won the other part of the country that

00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:43.539
is convinced the other person won. I'm telling

00:51:43.539 --> 00:51:46.739
you right now. Or worse, what if somebody makes

00:51:46.739 --> 00:51:50.440
a fake video and shows a candidate getting assassinated?

00:51:50.659 --> 00:51:53.900
That's what I'm saying. This is going to be something

00:51:53.900 --> 00:51:57.920
to where you're not going to know reality, and

00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:00.940
that's what I really am scared of for 2028, is

00:52:00.940 --> 00:52:03.400
anyone can make these videos. Anyone can edit

00:52:03.400 --> 00:52:06.400
anything. anybody can implicate a president or

00:52:06.400 --> 00:52:08.519
vice president or a senator or lawmaker doing

00:52:08.519 --> 00:52:12.179
anything and there's nothing if they make a video

00:52:12.179 --> 00:52:15.480
that says oh i i did this and with with such

00:52:15.480 --> 00:52:17.760
and such and i'm going to bow out of the race

00:52:17.760 --> 00:52:21.900
yeah bro like a week before the election like

00:52:21.900 --> 00:52:24.000
are you serious you can make any one of them

00:52:24.000 --> 00:52:27.559
just appear on epstein's island like i'm i'm

00:52:27.559 --> 00:52:29.320
just saying like this this is something that's

00:52:29.320 --> 00:52:32.719
scary but like you you could literally tank someone's

00:52:33.260 --> 00:52:35.579
A chance is overnight the night before the election

00:52:35.579 --> 00:52:38.300
or a couple of days before. And by the time they

00:52:38.300 --> 00:52:40.619
have three days by the time you post that on

00:52:40.619 --> 00:52:42.699
Friday before the election and then it's Tuesday,

00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:45.659
you could take it. Damage is done. Yeah. And

00:52:45.659 --> 00:52:48.219
I feel like that's going to happen. And that's

00:52:48.219 --> 00:52:50.699
what absolutely terrifies me. That's why I'm

00:52:50.699 --> 00:52:52.619
really pissed. I will say we're not going to

00:52:52.619 --> 00:52:54.340
discuss too much like the big, beautiful bill

00:52:54.340 --> 00:52:55.940
or whatever Trump was trying to pass with that.

00:52:56.260 --> 00:52:58.780
But the fact that there are no restrictions on

00:52:58.780 --> 00:53:02.110
some of this stuff. really concerns me and his

00:53:02.110 --> 00:53:03.989
administration needs to understand how serious

00:53:03.989 --> 00:53:07.230
this is because if we don't at least require

00:53:07.230 --> 00:53:11.170
a water stamp a watermark or something legally

00:53:11.170 --> 00:53:13.550
because i think people should be allowed to use

00:53:13.550 --> 00:53:16.010
it but if you if you're using it to influence

00:53:16.010 --> 00:53:18.769
about anyone else that already exists you should

00:53:18.769 --> 00:53:20.449
have to get their express permission to use their

00:53:20.449 --> 00:53:23.829
likeness and or have to say this is expressly

00:53:23.829 --> 00:53:27.170
ai and not real somewhere before during and or

00:53:27.170 --> 00:53:36.519
after the video Yeah. So just saying it's that

00:53:36.519 --> 00:53:45.260
scares me. This could go so bad. Yeah. And unlike

00:53:45.260 --> 00:53:47.099
you were saying, it's going to be an issue of

00:53:47.099 --> 00:53:50.679
you will not know until it's too late. And then

00:53:50.679 --> 00:53:52.159
people are going to be scrambling to figure out,

00:53:52.239 --> 00:53:55.219
OK, is this real? Is this fake? How do we verify?

00:53:55.320 --> 00:53:58.079
How do we double verify? How do we verify the

00:53:58.079 --> 00:54:01.119
verification? just the level of authenticity

00:54:01.119 --> 00:54:03.639
and the authenticity checks that are going to

00:54:03.639 --> 00:54:08.519
have to go into place. It's we are, we are walking

00:54:08.519 --> 00:54:12.559
at, we are Zoidberg into a level of Orwellian

00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:16.260
fear that I did not think I would live to see.

00:54:18.960 --> 00:54:24.340
Yeah, we're there. Yeah. Speaking of Orwellian

00:54:24.340 --> 00:54:28.300
fear. The rise of the machines is also right

00:54:28.300 --> 00:54:34.980
around the corner. AI -powered robots are getting

00:54:34.980 --> 00:54:38.480
very real. I'll just segue into our next point.

00:54:40.860 --> 00:54:45.320
AI is enabling robots to perform increasingly

00:54:45.320 --> 00:54:49.099
complex tasks in the service industry, as well

00:54:49.099 --> 00:54:53.940
as other facets of life. I will mention that

00:54:53.940 --> 00:54:56.820
the first AI -powered kickboxing match was held

00:54:56.820 --> 00:55:00.059
in China last week. Did you ever see that movie,

00:55:00.139 --> 00:55:02.400
Real Steel? Yeah. It was actually a hefty movie,

00:55:02.559 --> 00:55:07.099
too. I really liked that movie. It had some cheesy

00:55:07.099 --> 00:55:10.119
points, but they were in the movie to be cheesy.

00:55:11.320 --> 00:55:15.079
We are not. Let's kind of be hopeful on this.

00:55:15.300 --> 00:55:17.739
We are maybe not more than 10 to 15 years away

00:55:17.739 --> 00:55:22.559
from that. I think less than that. Within 10

00:55:22.559 --> 00:55:26.860
to 15 years. Yeah. So we could have actual robot

00:55:26.860 --> 00:55:29.739
fighting matches. Maybe we'll have somebody like

00:55:29.739 --> 00:55:32.380
Tyson back when he tried to pay a zookeeper to

00:55:32.380 --> 00:55:35.340
let him fight a gorilla. We'll have boxers trying

00:55:35.340 --> 00:55:37.519
to pay people to let them fight the robots. We're

00:55:37.519 --> 00:55:40.139
going to fucking cyborg Tyson fighting off against

00:55:40.139 --> 00:55:44.139
a robot to see who's better. Like he's going

00:55:44.139 --> 00:55:48.039
to be 78 years old looking like a half man, half

00:55:48.039 --> 00:55:51.250
machine just sitting out there fighting. I wonder

00:55:51.250 --> 00:55:53.849
if he's a robot, will he still have a lisp? He'd

00:55:53.849 --> 00:55:58.530
really be Iron Mike Tyson at that point. Oh,

00:55:58.710 --> 00:56:02.630
if they gave him the Stephen Hawking voice box,

00:56:02.869 --> 00:56:08.650
could they program the lisp? That would be hilarious.

00:56:09.329 --> 00:56:15.909
Yes. But yeah, the AI robots, they're getting

00:56:15.909 --> 00:56:20.650
a foothold in restaurants. grocery stores, delivery

00:56:20.650 --> 00:56:25.349
services, hospitals and hotels. A lot of the

00:56:25.349 --> 00:56:28.949
industries honestly make sense because they're

00:56:28.949 --> 00:56:32.489
lifting heavy things, carrying heavy things and

00:56:32.489 --> 00:56:36.269
delivering slash dropping off heavy things. Yes,

00:56:36.289 --> 00:56:38.909
it makes sense. But we also have exosuits that

00:56:38.909 --> 00:56:42.469
can enable humans to do the same thing. But the

00:56:42.469 --> 00:56:45.570
robots cost a lot less. They don't complain.

00:56:45.710 --> 00:56:48.630
They don't take sick days. They don't. call off

00:56:48.630 --> 00:56:51.050
they don't change jobs they don't need the training

00:56:51.050 --> 00:56:54.409
yeah there's there's a lot of this makes sense

00:56:54.409 --> 00:56:57.210
to replace the people i hate saying that but

00:56:57.210 --> 00:57:00.929
when it comes to this kind of thing yeah it makes

00:57:00.929 --> 00:57:05.690
sense uh these types of robots are actually designed

00:57:05.690 --> 00:57:07.769
to work alongside humans but the more advanced

00:57:07.769 --> 00:57:10.110
versions will be designed to replace the humans

00:57:10.110 --> 00:57:13.309
we have been saying this the entirety of the

00:57:13.309 --> 00:57:18.590
podcast robots are replacing humans Jensen from

00:57:18.590 --> 00:57:23.090
Nvidia has already come out and said robots could

00:57:23.090 --> 00:57:27.010
be getting paid wages to replace humans. I think

00:57:27.010 --> 00:57:29.230
he said 50 grand a year. I don't know why we

00:57:29.230 --> 00:57:31.130
would pay robots. I think he was just kind of

00:57:31.130 --> 00:57:33.070
talking out of his ass. He's talking about the

00:57:33.070 --> 00:57:35.210
idea of the cost being that like effectively.

00:57:36.190 --> 00:57:41.389
Yeah. So we've, we've got the balance here that

00:57:41.389 --> 00:57:48.460
robots can be purchased at. lower wages, air

00:57:48.460 --> 00:57:53.159
quotes on lower, that can actually replace workers.

00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:56.179
And these are investments, and they will last

00:57:56.179 --> 00:57:58.260
for years and years and years. And they'll only

00:57:58.260 --> 00:58:00.900
get better. They will only get better through

00:58:00.900 --> 00:58:04.099
software upgrades. So these are, again, as we've

00:58:04.099 --> 00:58:07.579
said in iRobot, these are the twos and threes.

00:58:09.579 --> 00:58:14.730
So we're not that far away. And the NS2s and

00:58:14.730 --> 00:58:18.469
3s get a lot of work done. Yes, they do. We're

00:58:18.469 --> 00:58:21.750
not the NS4 yet. And we're not doing the NS5.

00:58:22.030 --> 00:58:25.230
No, no, no, no, no. Let's not even go there.

00:58:25.969 --> 00:58:29.050
No. Something I did want to say was that I have

00:58:29.050 --> 00:58:30.789
a little experience with AI taking jobs because

00:58:30.789 --> 00:58:32.250
of my previous dealership that I was working

00:58:32.250 --> 00:58:37.269
at when I was leaving there. They got an AI to

00:58:37.269 --> 00:58:39.130
replace the secretary that would basically they

00:58:39.130 --> 00:58:41.030
would answer the phone and that to redirect you.

00:58:41.210 --> 00:58:45.130
The AI would determine your tone, how angry you

00:58:45.130 --> 00:58:46.929
were, what your issues were and everything. And

00:58:46.929 --> 00:58:49.250
they would give a write up on the customer and

00:58:49.250 --> 00:58:51.349
it would automatically direct to the proper either

00:58:51.349 --> 00:58:53.530
repair person, service advisor, the person that

00:58:53.530 --> 00:58:56.690
is best linked to what the issues and problems

00:58:56.690 --> 00:58:59.610
are and what kind of service they want and their

00:58:59.610 --> 00:59:06.130
attitude. Wow. And it was scary. Accurate. And

00:59:06.130 --> 00:59:08.130
they were like, yeah, it only costs us like $6

00:59:08.130 --> 00:59:11.130
,000 or $7 ,000 a month, but it's going to replace

00:59:11.130 --> 00:59:14.809
several people, and it works 24 -7. So we could

00:59:14.809 --> 00:59:17.309
take calls all the time. Or at least if it takes

00:59:17.309 --> 00:59:18.989
a voicemail, it will do a summary and assessment

00:59:18.989 --> 00:59:20.690
and give it to the right person to answer back.

00:59:21.469 --> 00:59:24.710
I was like, holy shit. That's incredible. Also,

00:59:24.909 --> 00:59:28.929
I'm a little perturbed. As a large man myself,

00:59:29.130 --> 00:59:31.570
I do occasionally go to Wendy's, and there was

00:59:31.570 --> 00:59:33.989
a local Wendy's that they use the AI ordering

00:59:33.989 --> 00:59:37.840
machine. And I got to be honest, I fucking hate

00:59:37.840 --> 00:59:41.219
that shit. Because half the time, granted, I

00:59:41.219 --> 00:59:44.559
think it's because I drive a louder truck because

00:59:44.559 --> 00:59:46.739
it's an older truck. But like half the time,

00:59:46.739 --> 00:59:48.119
it doesn't hear what I'm saying or doesn't get

00:59:48.119 --> 00:59:50.139
it right. So then I just go to the mobile order

00:59:50.139 --> 00:59:52.780
and I order on there anyway for pickup. And I

00:59:52.780 --> 00:59:54.460
tell it's for pickup and it doesn't even understand

00:59:54.460 --> 00:59:55.840
what I'm saying. So I just drive up to the window

00:59:55.840 --> 01:00:00.739
anyway. But yeah, it's scary. And I'm for it

01:00:00.739 --> 01:00:02.840
in some cases, I think as an addition or as an

01:00:02.840 --> 01:00:05.510
additional tool. That's awesome. As replacement,

01:00:05.610 --> 01:00:09.150
man, where else are these people going to work?

01:00:10.829 --> 01:00:14.349
Well, we've kind of talked about that. With AI

01:00:14.349 --> 01:00:17.750
taking so many jobs, there's going to be a shift

01:00:17.750 --> 01:00:21.110
in economic policy that's going to have to be

01:00:21.110 --> 01:00:22.630
addressed sooner rather than later, I think.

01:00:22.769 --> 01:00:26.610
Yeah. Because there are so many jobs that are

01:00:26.610 --> 01:00:29.969
going to be replaced. I'd have to reference back

01:00:29.969 --> 01:00:32.309
to our episode, but... I think it was something

01:00:32.309 --> 01:00:35.650
like 40 % of jobs in the next five to 10 years

01:00:35.650 --> 01:00:40.170
are likely, not possibly likely to be replaced

01:00:40.170 --> 01:00:49.190
by AI. 40%. That's a shit ton of jobs. And these

01:00:49.190 --> 01:00:51.070
are all the jobs that are like sub $20 an hour.

01:00:51.210 --> 01:00:55.690
Yeah. Almost all the unskilled labor. Yeah. All

01:00:55.690 --> 01:01:00.199
the unskilled white collar jobs. Yeah. So. That's

01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:04.039
a lot of people out of work. And these robots

01:01:04.039 --> 01:01:07.039
that are coming out, they can work at McDonald's.

01:01:07.039 --> 01:01:10.719
They can work at Wendy's. They can work at Amazon.

01:01:11.039 --> 01:01:13.159
They've got Amazon places that are looking to

01:01:13.159 --> 01:01:20.300
go dark. No humans at all. No restroom breaks

01:01:20.300 --> 01:01:21.719
for these people. I mean, they already don't

01:01:21.719 --> 01:01:24.300
do restroom breaks, so no restroom breaks for

01:01:24.300 --> 01:01:29.059
the robots either. It is a scary world we're

01:01:29.059 --> 01:01:38.179
walking into, man. But to get back to the robots,

01:01:38.380 --> 01:01:42.760
the AI robots, for the kickboxing match in China,

01:01:43.039 --> 01:01:44.519
one of the things I did want to say is you can

01:01:44.519 --> 01:01:46.980
thank Boston Dynamics for a lot of that shit.

01:01:47.099 --> 01:01:48.599
Oh, yeah. Them being able to walk on two legs,

01:01:48.659 --> 01:01:51.039
being able to kick, being able to run. Thanks

01:01:51.039 --> 01:01:52.960
for our dystopian future, Boston Dynamics. I

01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:58.329
appreciate you. Yes. Thanks for dystopia. Yeah.

01:02:01.670 --> 01:02:04.269
So I think that'll... What's that? I was thinking,

01:02:04.289 --> 01:02:06.230
I wonder if those robots end up becoming full

01:02:06.230 --> 01:02:08.889
-time workforces. Like, are we going to have

01:02:08.889 --> 01:02:10.230
to put it on the list of, like, they require

01:02:10.230 --> 01:02:13.949
rights and stuff like that? Because I'm sure

01:02:13.949 --> 01:02:15.730
as shit, California is really good at requiring

01:02:15.730 --> 01:02:17.389
everything has to have rights, whether they're

01:02:17.389 --> 01:02:20.929
here legally or not, or citizens or not, or alive

01:02:20.929 --> 01:02:23.079
or not. I wonder if they're going to go down

01:02:23.079 --> 01:02:25.159
that road too, to where they fight so hard for

01:02:25.159 --> 01:02:26.820
robot rights and then they're too expensive and

01:02:26.820 --> 01:02:31.179
they hire people again. Yeah. Hire AI to legislate

01:02:31.179 --> 01:02:33.880
for robots. There you go. I mean, it tracks.

01:02:35.099 --> 01:02:37.860
Honestly, I could, you know what? I now have

01:02:37.860 --> 01:02:40.380
something to do at a couple of weekends. I'm

01:02:40.380 --> 01:02:45.159
going to use the AI to save us. Yes. Pull a 180.

01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:49.059
So the last thing that we're going to talk about

01:02:49.059 --> 01:02:51.920
tonight, I know you wanted to. Drop this into

01:02:51.920 --> 01:02:55.880
the bucket. Yeah. The Trump versus Elon bromance

01:02:55.880 --> 01:02:59.460
ending. I know. I'm really ashamed, really. Don

01:02:59.460 --> 01:03:01.880
Lon is broken up. Ashamed? I'm ashamed, man.

01:03:01.920 --> 01:03:07.539
I just Don Lon. No more. No more. Ashamed is

01:03:07.539 --> 01:03:09.099
probably the wrong word for me to use. I'm very

01:03:09.099 --> 01:03:12.079
disappointed. There you go. I am disappointed

01:03:12.079 --> 01:03:15.739
that they couldn't figure this out. Okay. So

01:03:15.739 --> 01:03:18.559
I'm going to leave my opinion to the end. I just

01:03:18.559 --> 01:03:21.190
want to cover what's happened. Because I think

01:03:21.190 --> 01:03:23.809
I know. I think a lot of people aren't reading

01:03:23.809 --> 01:03:27.949
this right. Yes. So cover me with the glaze.

01:03:28.690 --> 01:03:33.789
Let me have this sugary frosting. That did not

01:03:33.789 --> 01:03:38.510
leave a good taste. Glaze me. At least have some

01:03:38.510 --> 01:03:40.409
pineapple next time. That does not taste good.

01:03:40.510 --> 01:03:46.010
So Elon Musk is kind of the start of this whole

01:03:46.010 --> 01:03:49.010
thing. So as everyone knows, he was in a pointed

01:03:49.010 --> 01:03:51.590
position by Donald Trump to be part of DOGE,

01:03:51.610 --> 01:03:54.030
Department of Government Efficiency, to be able

01:03:54.030 --> 01:03:57.329
to help understand the wasteful spending that's

01:03:57.329 --> 01:03:59.530
going on, be able to pinpoint it, be able to

01:03:59.530 --> 01:04:02.889
give kind of a plan of action, if you will, as

01:04:02.889 --> 01:04:06.789
to what should be done. Well, with the spending

01:04:06.789 --> 01:04:09.809
bill that the Republicans have proposed that

01:04:09.809 --> 01:04:12.969
is being supported by Donald Trump, Elon Musk

01:04:12.969 --> 01:04:14.429
made a tweet the other night saying, I'm sorry,

01:04:14.469 --> 01:04:15.869
I just can't stand it anymore, this massive,

01:04:15.909 --> 01:04:18.170
outrageous, congressional spending bill is an

01:04:18.170 --> 01:04:21.590
abomination and then he makes the comment of

01:04:21.590 --> 01:04:23.429
you know time to drop the really big bomb donald

01:04:23.429 --> 01:04:25.369
trump is in the epstein files that is the real

01:04:25.369 --> 01:04:27.349
reason why they haven't been made public have

01:04:27.349 --> 01:04:29.849
a nice day mark this post for the future this

01:04:29.849 --> 01:04:31.670
truth will come out soon and then he said without

01:04:31.670 --> 01:04:33.909
me trump would have lost the election democrats

01:04:33.909 --> 01:04:35.849
have control of the house republicans would not

01:04:35.849 --> 01:04:38.130
have the majority in the senate such ingratitude

01:04:38.130 --> 01:04:42.190
um you know trump responds basically just saying

01:04:42.190 --> 01:04:43.889
that you know he doesn't mind that elon turned

01:04:43.889 --> 01:04:46.190
against him but like He's been helping them out,

01:04:46.250 --> 01:04:48.949
giving a record cut in expenses. It's supposed

01:04:48.949 --> 01:04:53.550
to cut $1 .6 trillion in spending, the biggest

01:04:53.550 --> 01:04:56.550
tax cut ever given, as well as a few other issues.

01:04:56.670 --> 01:04:59.550
It's supposed to give a crazy tax decrease and

01:04:59.550 --> 01:05:01.630
all those other things. I'm not going to get

01:05:01.630 --> 01:05:03.349
into the politics of the bill, because that really

01:05:03.349 --> 01:05:04.670
doesn't interest me right now. That's going to

01:05:04.670 --> 01:05:07.389
be a separate thing. What I wanted to get at

01:05:07.389 --> 01:05:11.099
here is they're making this. This has been all

01:05:11.099 --> 01:05:12.800
over the news. This has been the only thing that's

01:05:12.800 --> 01:05:14.440
been on mainstream news for the last four or

01:05:14.440 --> 01:05:16.860
five days. This happened last Wednesday. I want

01:05:16.860 --> 01:05:18.579
to know what it's trying to distract us from,

01:05:18.599 --> 01:05:21.599
really. Well, I actually have a different opinion

01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:25.480
on this entirely. So the issue has been ever

01:05:25.480 --> 01:05:27.760
since Elon Musk really started becoming vocal

01:05:27.760 --> 01:05:30.360
politics and getting involved like three years

01:05:30.360 --> 01:05:34.559
ago, three or four years ago, with backing Trump.

01:05:35.360 --> 01:05:38.599
The issue has been Tesla, SpaceX, everything

01:05:38.599 --> 01:05:42.110
else. It's kind of been considered now almost

01:05:42.110 --> 01:05:44.889
conservative or Republican companies, even though

01:05:44.889 --> 01:05:47.389
it's kind of weird, because really, Tesla's always

01:05:47.389 --> 01:05:53.650
been environmentally friendly, ecological, very

01:05:53.650 --> 01:05:55.889
almost left -leaning kind of company in a lot

01:05:55.889 --> 01:05:58.710
of ways. So it was kind of weird to have this

01:05:58.710 --> 01:06:02.250
sudden flip. The issue I think he sees is what

01:06:02.250 --> 01:06:05.929
I see, which is that in order for Tesla to be

01:06:05.929 --> 01:06:09.050
really successful, You can't alienate half of

01:06:09.050 --> 01:06:11.650
your demographic or half the people that would

01:06:11.650 --> 01:06:14.170
be potential buyers for that or for SpaceX or

01:06:14.170 --> 01:06:18.750
for anything else. So it is my opinion that he

01:06:18.750 --> 01:06:21.050
is trying to do this. And there's a reason why

01:06:21.050 --> 01:06:23.449
both of them are participating in this because

01:06:23.449 --> 01:06:26.010
Elon's already leaving the position anyway, because

01:06:26.010 --> 01:06:29.610
his days are up for being in Doge. I think he's

01:06:29.610 --> 01:06:32.789
making a very public. Very definitive statement

01:06:32.789 --> 01:06:35.489
saying, hey, I am not affiliated with Trump or

01:06:35.489 --> 01:06:37.110
the conservatives or anything. He is trying to

01:06:37.110 --> 01:06:40.150
save face and get away. And I think Donald Trump

01:06:40.150 --> 01:06:44.429
is in on it. I think the whole idea here is Elon

01:06:44.429 --> 01:06:47.369
Musk got in, got the information, got this thing

01:06:47.369 --> 01:06:49.730
started, got it rolling, and he's going to get

01:06:49.730 --> 01:06:52.590
out and go back to doing other stuff. And he

01:06:52.590 --> 01:06:54.630
needs some distance in order for his company

01:06:54.630 --> 01:06:57.119
to be successful because. look what happened

01:06:57.119 --> 01:06:59.139
a few months ago when people were firebombing

01:06:59.139 --> 01:07:01.280
teslas they were burning they were burning the

01:07:01.280 --> 01:07:03.260
dealerships they were destroying the cars they

01:07:03.260 --> 01:07:05.760
were attacking people putting swastikas on like

01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:09.920
it's crazy so i think for the sake of his companies

01:07:09.920 --> 01:07:13.679
and his legacy i i think he and trump had a meeting

01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:17.019
i was like hey we can't do this there's no way

01:07:17.019 --> 01:07:21.900
to me that makes the only logical sense because

01:07:21.900 --> 01:07:23.880
i don't think these two people that are as smart

01:07:23.880 --> 01:07:27.699
as they are would publicly have the dumbest bullshit

01:07:27.699 --> 01:07:31.440
beef ever and make it this public and say things

01:07:31.440 --> 01:07:33.739
like they have been. And I just cut out some

01:07:33.739 --> 01:07:36.920
clips and excerpts that were more direct. There

01:07:36.920 --> 01:07:39.400
were a lot of other stuff that was said. But

01:07:39.400 --> 01:07:41.320
it's basically just wah, wah, wah, bullshit,

01:07:41.380 --> 01:07:43.219
he said, she said, whatever, you're stupid, you're

01:07:43.219 --> 01:07:46.340
a bitch, you know, whatever. To me, I just think

01:07:46.340 --> 01:07:50.099
it's to make it so Elon is also fulfilling his

01:07:50.099 --> 01:07:52.840
fiduciary responsibility for the companies. Because

01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:55.750
here's my other concern. I wonder if they're

01:07:55.750 --> 01:07:58.150
coming after him saying, hey, you're not fulfilling

01:07:58.150 --> 01:08:01.949
that, and you have a conflict of interest by

01:08:01.949 --> 01:08:04.250
being in this part with Doge, with the U .S.

01:08:04.269 --> 01:08:07.949
government, and basically beholding to one political

01:08:07.949 --> 01:08:10.730
party type of thing. That's where I think this

01:08:10.730 --> 01:08:15.369
is coming from. That makes sense. As he's leaving

01:08:15.369 --> 01:08:19.210
the position, he will reenter the commercial

01:08:19.210 --> 01:08:22.710
side of his life, and now he's got to get back

01:08:22.710 --> 01:08:28.750
to... making money as a business owner. His businesses

01:08:28.750 --> 01:08:32.250
have been hemorrhaging money. So, yeah, this

01:08:32.250 --> 01:08:36.050
is how he saves face. I could buy that. That's

01:08:36.050 --> 01:08:40.210
a solid theory. I could 100 % buy that. Very

01:08:40.210 --> 01:08:43.649
well presented. Congratulations, Gibbs. I think

01:08:43.649 --> 01:08:44.789
that's what's going to come out in the future

01:08:44.789 --> 01:08:46.989
because he just needs to cut ties and move on.

01:08:48.130 --> 01:08:51.789
There's no way, unfortunately, his company will

01:08:51.789 --> 01:08:55.340
survive very well without it. No. Now, here's

01:08:55.340 --> 01:08:57.539
the question I have. That's a position that can

01:08:57.539 --> 01:09:00.619
be fulfilled yearly. It's not a one -time deal.

01:09:01.300 --> 01:09:05.079
Correct. So he could kiss and make up with Elon

01:09:05.079 --> 01:09:08.119
and next year have him back to head Doge again.

01:09:08.260 --> 01:09:10.159
He could hire Elon or he could hire someone else.

01:09:11.100 --> 01:09:13.100
Right. Maybe I wonder if the best strategy would

01:09:13.100 --> 01:09:14.859
be to hire four different people that have four

01:09:14.859 --> 01:09:17.239
different sets of skills to go after and look

01:09:17.239 --> 01:09:19.460
at. That's what he should do. If I were Trump.

01:09:19.979 --> 01:09:22.060
I would look at someone like Elon's a great first

01:09:22.060 --> 01:09:25.100
person to start because he has the precedent.

01:09:25.300 --> 01:09:27.460
Knowing that he has enough experience with large

01:09:27.460 --> 01:09:29.619
numbers, with large sets of data, with these

01:09:29.619 --> 01:09:32.619
large businesses, that for him to get the right

01:09:32.619 --> 01:09:34.880
people, because that's one of Elon's talents.

01:09:35.579 --> 01:09:37.579
Elon, like Donald Trump, I would give them both

01:09:37.579 --> 01:09:39.100
credit. They're never the smartest person in

01:09:39.100 --> 01:09:40.859
the room. But you know what they're both really

01:09:40.859 --> 01:09:43.380
good at? Getting the right people that know how

01:09:43.380 --> 01:09:45.500
to do something. Elon's never been the guy to

01:09:45.500 --> 01:09:47.220
personally make the cars, but he found the people

01:09:47.220 --> 01:09:49.060
to do it 10 years almost before anyone else could.

01:09:49.840 --> 01:09:51.899
Look at Donald Trump. Same thing. He might not

01:09:51.899 --> 01:09:53.260
be the smartest person in the room, but he's

01:09:53.260 --> 01:09:55.500
made over 500 companies. Only like a handful

01:09:55.500 --> 01:09:57.600
of them have ever been bankrupt. How many other

01:09:57.600 --> 01:09:59.380
people can build companies have like a 98 or

01:09:59.380 --> 01:10:02.640
99 percent success rate again? And most of his

01:10:02.640 --> 01:10:06.539
bankruptcies were like financial chess moves,

01:10:06.640 --> 01:10:09.119
basically. Exactly. Most of those were on one

01:10:09.119 --> 01:10:11.140
of his other companies acquiring that. So they

01:10:11.140 --> 01:10:13.279
go bankrupt. So therefore, they're just basically

01:10:13.279 --> 01:10:15.689
transferring intellectual property. And that's

01:10:15.689 --> 01:10:17.409
it. And they close their debts and they're all

01:10:17.409 --> 01:10:19.689
done. Again, it's kind of a shitty thing to do,

01:10:19.750 --> 01:10:21.229
but also it's legal. And that's what they all

01:10:21.229 --> 01:10:24.329
do. So welcome to U .S. business practices. Same

01:10:24.329 --> 01:10:27.949
with taxes. Well, taxes are stuffed anyway. That's

01:10:27.949 --> 01:10:30.829
besides the point. I know. Taxation is stuffed.

01:10:31.029 --> 01:10:35.909
And the Fed. If only. If only we could. So it's

01:10:35.909 --> 01:10:38.270
one of those things, though, that it makes sense

01:10:38.270 --> 01:10:41.029
why he picked him, because those two intellectually

01:10:41.029 --> 01:10:44.369
are very much aligned. They speak the same language.

01:10:44.859 --> 01:10:47.460
And Elon put the right people in there that for

01:10:47.460 --> 01:10:49.300
the next few years, regardless, at least it's

01:10:49.300 --> 01:10:51.579
going the right direction. Then it's going to

01:10:51.579 --> 01:10:53.239
be Trump should be putting in people for the

01:10:53.239 --> 01:10:56.500
next three years that can help mold it to help

01:10:56.500 --> 01:10:59.680
help refine it. You know, he put the guy that

01:10:59.680 --> 01:11:01.979
was the hammer. Great. Now let's get the scalpel.

01:11:02.159 --> 01:11:04.220
You know, let's get someone that can really focus

01:11:04.220 --> 01:11:06.300
on the couple of points. And I think what really

01:11:06.300 --> 01:11:07.779
has to happen is Trump needs to spend the next

01:11:07.779 --> 01:11:10.399
couple of years peeling back some layers and

01:11:10.399 --> 01:11:14.289
figuring out what's going on. But no, I agree

01:11:14.289 --> 01:11:16.689
with you 100%. I think this is the smart move.

01:11:18.069 --> 01:11:20.630
And I think it's the most logical. Because vice

01:11:20.630 --> 01:11:24.090
versa, if they were both just having this out

01:11:24.090 --> 01:11:27.350
on Twitter, why? None of them win. Neither one

01:11:27.350 --> 01:11:31.630
of them wins this. No, but it does show extra

01:11:31.630 --> 01:11:36.170
usage on X. So Elon can say, hey, it's getting

01:11:36.170 --> 01:11:41.119
used. You're not wrong. You know, for the couple

01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:42.840
hundred bucks in ad revenue he's making off of

01:11:42.840 --> 01:11:50.979
that. Right. But, yeah. Yeah, that was really...

01:11:50.979 --> 01:11:53.880
Besides that, that was kind of really my thoughts

01:11:53.880 --> 01:11:56.039
on that whole beef that was just making the rounds

01:11:56.039 --> 01:11:59.199
on the internet for the last few days. Yeah.

01:12:00.199 --> 01:12:04.619
Well, we'll probably do the actual one big beautiful

01:12:04.619 --> 01:12:07.619
bill itself. Yep. We can do that in another show.

01:12:08.159 --> 01:12:11.680
Oh, yes. Because there's a lot to it, and we

01:12:11.680 --> 01:12:13.680
need to see what actually gets hammered out and

01:12:13.680 --> 01:12:15.739
passed when it does pass. That's the thing. I've

01:12:15.739 --> 01:12:17.579
been doing some research on that, and there's

01:12:17.579 --> 01:12:20.720
a lot of conflicting information. I just have

01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:23.500
to wait and see what's actually 100 % passed,

01:12:23.619 --> 01:12:25.399
not just approved by the House or the Senate,

01:12:25.439 --> 01:12:28.000
but actually passed. That way we can look through

01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:29.760
it. Because I do want to report on that, because

01:12:29.760 --> 01:12:31.560
I think that's going to be big. That's huge.

01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:39.699
Yes. It's one of those bills that, for what it

01:12:39.699 --> 01:12:42.479
is, it has the potential to make a lot of really

01:12:42.479 --> 01:12:44.659
good changes for a lot of people in the country.

01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:48.699
I still encourage people to vote local. Those

01:12:48.699 --> 01:12:50.819
are the elections that matter more than the presidential

01:12:50.819 --> 01:12:55.300
one. Your Congress and Senate people, they matter

01:12:55.300 --> 01:12:57.579
a little bit more than the president as well.

01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:01.180
But your local ones make the most change that

01:13:01.180 --> 01:13:12.270
will affect your day -to -day lives. Is that

01:13:12.270 --> 01:13:15.729
it? Yeah, we're through everything. Wow, we got

01:13:15.729 --> 01:13:16.890
through everything in like an hour and change.

01:13:17.149 --> 01:13:19.729
I know, it was good. Should we riff for another

01:13:19.729 --> 01:13:24.210
hour and stretch it out? Like a prom date? Oh

01:13:24.210 --> 01:13:32.909
my god. Oh my god. You know, I would ask you,

01:13:32.989 --> 01:13:35.130
how did that work out for you? But I'm scared

01:13:35.130 --> 01:13:38.220
to get the fucking answer. So let's just... Just

01:13:38.220 --> 01:13:45.479
no. No, no, no. Oh, man. But yeah, it was nice

01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:47.140
to have a bit of a... Listen, when they find

01:13:47.140 --> 01:13:49.140
out that your ham kettle has its own girl certificate,

01:13:49.520 --> 01:13:56.760
it's never a good time for them. I learned two

01:13:56.760 --> 01:14:03.779
euphemisms in one sentence. I learned two euphemisms

01:14:03.779 --> 01:14:11.710
in one sentence. Oh, you're welcome. Love you,

01:14:11.729 --> 01:14:21.109
buddy. Yeah. Jesus. Oh, my God. I just. Oh, my

01:14:21.109 --> 01:14:28.470
God. But yeah, I guess that's that's really it,

01:14:28.529 --> 01:14:30.069
huh? There's nothing else. Is there anything

01:14:30.069 --> 01:14:35.659
else? I think so. The shorts are doing well.

01:14:35.800 --> 01:14:40.380
Check those out. We are 100 % live on Apple platforms

01:14:40.380 --> 01:14:44.920
now. So if anybody is listening to us on Apple,

01:14:45.060 --> 01:14:48.539
hello, welcome. If you're hearing this, this

01:14:48.539 --> 01:14:51.260
is the first broadcast we have made where we

01:14:51.260 --> 01:14:54.279
know we are on Apple. Yeah, for some reason,

01:14:54.319 --> 01:14:56.619
Apple decided to shadow ban us, and I don't know

01:14:56.619 --> 01:14:58.720
why. They wouldn't say. I'm a little weirded

01:14:58.720 --> 01:15:02.590
out. It was just... Impossible to get the accounts

01:15:02.590 --> 01:15:04.970
made for whatever reason. I actually sat on the

01:15:04.970 --> 01:15:08.890
phone for an hour today with an Apple rep trying

01:15:08.890 --> 01:15:12.029
to get the account handled. So shout out to,

01:15:12.050 --> 01:15:15.710
I think his name was Rob at Apple today. So thank

01:15:15.710 --> 01:15:19.590
you for that. Thank you, Rob. We love you. We

01:15:19.590 --> 01:15:23.310
love you, Rob. Welcome to Apple podcast. We love

01:15:23.310 --> 01:15:26.170
you. I want to touch you in intimate ways to

01:15:26.170 --> 01:15:28.510
say thank you. Consensually for legal reasons.

01:15:33.010 --> 01:15:41.569
Oh, man. But, yeah, so we're on Apple now. The

01:15:41.569 --> 01:15:43.630
shorts are doing really well. Thank you for the

01:15:43.630 --> 01:15:45.670
ones you have been putting up, especially the

01:15:45.670 --> 01:15:47.909
ones you did manually. Those are performing really

01:15:47.909 --> 01:15:50.270
well, actually. We're learning. We're learning.

01:15:52.329 --> 01:15:55.890
We're learning. Careful. If all I can learn as

01:15:55.890 --> 01:15:59.500
quickly as AI. Right? Go ahead and get yourself

01:15:59.500 --> 01:16:03.039
a Neuralink and you'll be alright. Fucking Burger

01:16:03.039 --> 01:16:05.279
King ad. That's the problem. They got a Burger

01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:06.819
King ad at 3 in the morning. That's the issue.

01:16:08.819 --> 01:16:10.840
Either that or God forbid if I get that fucking

01:16:10.840 --> 01:16:14.119
Cars for Kids ad at 4 in the morning. Oh my God.

01:16:14.479 --> 01:16:18.340
Yeah. Now you understand why I turn that shit

01:16:18.340 --> 01:16:26.300
off every time it comes on. For reference, if

01:16:26.300 --> 01:16:29.680
anybody... chooses to there is an ad for a company

01:16:29.680 --> 01:16:33.260
that takes donations of cars they use the money

01:16:33.260 --> 01:16:36.340
to give it to kids organizations the commercial

01:16:36.340 --> 01:16:41.399
is so earwormy i have to turn it off or else

01:16:41.399 --> 01:16:43.680
it gets stuck in my head for three days oh i'll

01:16:43.680 --> 01:16:45.300
i'll be honest with you this is an episode we're

01:16:45.300 --> 01:16:47.880
going to do sometime cars for kids was entirely

01:16:47.880 --> 01:16:50.159
the reason why our used car market sucks by the

01:16:50.159 --> 01:16:55.340
way i thought that was the cash for clunkers

01:16:55.340 --> 01:17:00.130
program that one also Yeah. Because that destroyed

01:17:00.130 --> 01:17:04.050
the used car market. I did a little research.

01:17:04.130 --> 01:17:05.930
I went a little tism diving the other night.

01:17:06.670 --> 01:17:09.010
Oh, nice. Yeah. That's going to be a future episode.

01:17:09.090 --> 01:17:10.449
I'm currently working on the background on that

01:17:10.449 --> 01:17:14.789
one. Awesome. So I despise it even more than

01:17:14.789 --> 01:17:20.350
you know. Excellent. All right. Well, I guess

01:17:20.350 --> 01:17:23.189
we'll shut this down. Thank you to everybody

01:17:23.189 --> 01:17:25.569
