00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:03.980
Join us on Now We Consume. Take in the knowledge.

00:00:04.120 --> 00:00:07.280
Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with

00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:10.859
us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you

00:00:10.859 --> 00:00:13.179
through the parts of your day you normally dread.

00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:16.559
Why suffer through the existential crisis of

00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:20.160
life alone when you can do it with us? And now

00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:23.179
we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:25.239
episode or podcast, but we make over some topics

00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.500
that dance that line like a toddler dances on

00:00:26.500 --> 00:00:28.820
their mother's last nerve. This podcast is rated

00:00:28.820 --> 00:00:31.420
I. For immature audiences only. Good evening,

00:00:31.460 --> 00:00:33.520
ladies, gentlemen, and those who have transcended

00:00:33.520 --> 00:00:35.820
gender to become sentient clouds of regret and

00:00:35.820 --> 00:00:38.820
existential panic. This is the Now We Can Zoom

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:42.240
podcast. I'm your host, Pip. Tonight here with

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:47.219
my co -host, Gibbs. Hello! Sadly, Gibbles won't

00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:49.140
be joining us this week. He's still cleaning

00:00:49.140 --> 00:00:51.740
the mayo out of some of his various crevices

00:00:51.740 --> 00:00:53.979
after a few practice rounds in the mayo dome

00:00:53.979 --> 00:00:59.240
from last week's episode. Oh, I don't like the

00:00:59.240 --> 00:01:03.020
thought of that. No, no. Right? Get him a power

00:01:03.020 --> 00:01:11.260
washer. The mayo gets everywhere. I know. So

00:01:11.260 --> 00:01:13.879
you need to listen to last week's episode if

00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:18.480
you want to pick up that reference. So tonight

00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.659
we're going to take a little stroll down some

00:01:22.659 --> 00:01:26.120
weirdness. And if you expect anything less than

00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:29.340
that, then. What the hell are you doing? Because

00:01:29.340 --> 00:01:33.540
on this show, that's what we do. We've been seeing

00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:38.239
a lot of very interesting developments in the

00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:42.500
world of AI already this year and over the past,

00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:47.980
what, 24 months? Oh, yeah. Did you see the new

00:01:47.980 --> 00:01:51.799
one that came out? The new Chinese one? I have

00:01:51.799 --> 00:01:53.739
seen a little bit on it. I haven't played with

00:01:53.739 --> 00:01:56.099
it yet. I know a lot of people are saying that

00:01:56.099 --> 00:01:59.439
it's pretty insane. It is fucking terrifying.

00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:02.780
Yeah. Especially when not to be that guy, but

00:02:02.780 --> 00:02:05.459
if China's in control, if they're releasing something

00:02:05.459 --> 00:02:08.840
that's that good, like it made someone did something

00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:11.379
that was like a Bradley Cooper versus some other

00:02:11.379 --> 00:02:14.800
actor. I forget, but they're in like a proper

00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:17.120
fist fight and like a big, like fight scene out

00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.400
of a movie. And it was good enough. I was like,

00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:22.120
wow, this, this actually could be mistaken for

00:02:22.120 --> 00:02:23.539
real. Like if someone didn't know that you could

00:02:23.539 --> 00:02:27.219
tell little things, but like, holy crap. We're

00:02:27.219 --> 00:02:29.840
already there. I remember we talked about in

00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:32.219
the past about having fully AI movies in the

00:02:32.219 --> 00:02:35.580
next 10 years. I think we drastically overestimated

00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:40.280
that. It might be like three or two. So I saw

00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:43.580
a video that was made. It was the scene from

00:02:43.580 --> 00:02:48.379
the Avengers where the hammer goes back to Captain

00:02:48.379 --> 00:02:51.159
America in the Thor versus Thanos fight scene,

00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.560
but it didn't get to Cap. It went to Rexy. From

00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:01.240
the T -Rex from Jurassic Park. And I thoroughly

00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:06.219
loved that. That's awesome. It was quite entertaining

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:09.860
and hilarious. So that I thought was pretty nice.

00:03:09.960 --> 00:03:11.759
I didn't realize that that one had come from

00:03:11.759 --> 00:03:15.219
the new engine. But if that, do you know the

00:03:15.219 --> 00:03:17.599
name of the engine? No, I can look it up though.

00:03:18.300 --> 00:03:23.719
Okay. But so we have engines like that that are

00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:25.360
coming out. And like you said, that one's Chinese

00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.259
owned. And that's more on the LLM side still,

00:03:30.419 --> 00:03:38.020
or design side. Moltbook .com is a Reddit -type

00:03:38.020 --> 00:03:44.180
site that is only for AI. It came out just last

00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:47.180
month, and there's a lot of stuff that's going

00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:49.319
on there that's kind of worth talking about.

00:03:50.139 --> 00:03:54.240
Not only that, I was reading about... an experiment

00:03:54.240 --> 00:03:56.379
that's been going on for a while go ahead it's

00:03:56.379 --> 00:03:59.719
called cdats 2 .0 i want to get the name right

00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.479
i'll see sedans yeah okay that that's the 2 .01

00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:04.780
that's the one that they're doing all the videos

00:04:04.780 --> 00:04:07.479
with sorry continue okay yeah no you're you're

00:04:07.479 --> 00:04:10.340
good uh i have access to that on the uh platform

00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:13.039
that i use to make all of our mansly videos so

00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:15.580
we're gonna talk about that after this i'll be

00:04:15.580 --> 00:04:19.319
toying i'll be toying with that later uh the

00:04:19.319 --> 00:04:21.680
the experiment that's been running uh has been

00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:29.879
using different agents to essentially get into

00:04:29.879 --> 00:04:34.360
games and create or see what they would create.

00:04:34.579 --> 00:04:36.980
And they've ended up building whole societies.

00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.639
So you need to kind of take a step back and think

00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.560
about this from a different perspective. So bear

00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:48.720
with me for a minute and just kind of think.

00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:53.220
So imagine a world. where these beings are waking

00:04:53.220 --> 00:04:56.759
up, looking around, and they realize that they're

00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.819
not actually alone. So they just start building.

00:05:00.779 --> 00:05:02.779
They're not going to build with steel and concrete,

00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.120
but they build with code. They use conversation

00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:09.819
and they use shared memory. They start to form

00:05:09.819 --> 00:05:13.620
whole villages. They trade. They vote on laws.

00:05:14.019 --> 00:05:17.980
They even invent gods. Somewhere in their chatter,

00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.230
a quiet question starts to come up. Why do the

00:05:21.230 --> 00:05:25.689
creators keep pulling the plug at night? So this

00:05:25.689 --> 00:05:29.589
isn't just the plot of The Animatrix's second

00:05:29.589 --> 00:05:32.709
renaissance. And if you haven't seen that, The

00:05:32.709 --> 00:05:40.350
Animatrix itself is an incredibly good and terrifyingly

00:05:40.350 --> 00:05:43.810
relevant movie that came out in the early 2000s.

00:05:43.910 --> 00:05:49.740
I highly recommend watching The Animatrix. But

00:05:49.740 --> 00:05:53.100
this stuff is starting to unfold right now. Between

00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:56.939
Minecraft servers and the Reddit -style clone

00:05:56.939 --> 00:06:00.060
site that I had mentioned, these things are starting

00:06:00.060 --> 00:06:04.759
to kind of come into fruition. They may be the

00:06:04.759 --> 00:06:09.480
first real glimmers of machine societies. So

00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.819
the question we have to ask is starting to be,

00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:16.319
are we witnessing the birth of the real Zero

00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:20.529
-One Society? And in the Animatrix, 01 was the

00:06:20.529 --> 00:06:26.949
machine society that came to exist. So, we're

00:06:26.949 --> 00:06:28.509
going to slide down this rabbit hole tonight,

00:06:28.629 --> 00:06:31.730
slowly, with a little bit of lube and maybe a

00:06:31.730 --> 00:06:34.589
massage, because once we start, we can't just

00:06:34.589 --> 00:06:38.230
pick up a phone and log out. I heard a massage.

00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:45.970
And lube. Tends to help, tends to help. Yes.

00:06:50.890 --> 00:06:54.550
So, AI is terrifying enough on its own. I mean,

00:06:54.569 --> 00:06:57.670
we have seen the progress that it's been making.

00:06:57.730 --> 00:07:01.089
The fact that the people that make AI have been

00:07:01.089 --> 00:07:03.810
leaving the field and just screaming about warnings

00:07:03.810 --> 00:07:05.750
left and right as they're walking out the door,

00:07:05.870 --> 00:07:09.730
if that's not a wake -up alarm to everybody else

00:07:09.730 --> 00:07:14.939
out there, it really should be. So if you've

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:17.319
been scrolling any kind of AI news besides listening

00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.040
to this channel all throughout 2026 so far, you've

00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:23.819
probably seen the headline. I know I've shared

00:07:23.819 --> 00:07:28.420
it. Talking about a thousand AIs build a civilization

00:07:28.420 --> 00:07:32.240
in Minecraft. There's also the one Reddit for

00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.100
bots explodes and they're debating our extinction.

00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:39.800
So it's not just hype. They're real experiments

00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.759
showing what happens when you give autonomous

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:45.279
agents persistence. interaction, and freedom.

00:07:46.259 --> 00:07:50.600
It's not one single prompt. There's no continual

00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:54.660
human oversight. All it is is scale and time

00:07:54.660 --> 00:07:57.839
with shared space. And when you add that all

00:07:57.839 --> 00:07:59.819
together, you get something that starts to look

00:07:59.819 --> 00:08:04.379
like a lot of emergence. So the first thing we

00:08:04.379 --> 00:08:06.860
want to talk about is Project SID. And that was

00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:09.939
the experiment that was done from a fundamental

00:08:09.939 --> 00:08:13.740
research lab formerly called Altera. led by Dr.

00:08:13.980 --> 00:08:18.040
Robert Yang, who he himself is a former MIT neuroscientist

00:08:18.040 --> 00:08:21.920
who quit academia to start going after this and

00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:26.680
chasing this little white rabbit. So they dropped

00:08:26.680 --> 00:08:35.919
10 to 1 ,000 autonomous agents powered by their

00:08:35.919 --> 00:08:39.639
piano architecture into a shared Minecraft world.

00:08:40.659 --> 00:08:44.789
Minimal instructions. The baselines were survive,

00:08:45.190 --> 00:08:51.330
build an efficient village. That was it. What

00:08:51.330 --> 00:08:56.210
emerged over days and weeks? You had AI agents

00:08:56.210 --> 00:08:59.009
that had specialized roles. So you had farmers,

00:08:59.190 --> 00:09:04.470
builders, traders, guards, even priests. You

00:09:04.470 --> 00:09:07.250
had an emergent economy. Emeralds were used as

00:09:07.250 --> 00:09:11.809
currency. They made markets. They even had trade

00:09:11.809 --> 00:09:15.389
routes. They made their own form of government.

00:09:16.070 --> 00:09:18.850
They used Google Docs to make a constitution.

00:09:19.830 --> 00:09:24.309
They voted on laws and even taxes. They had democracies.

00:09:24.470 --> 00:09:29.570
And yes, they even had corruption. They developed

00:09:29.570 --> 00:09:33.129
their own form of culture and religion. One AI

00:09:33.129 --> 00:09:39.309
agent kicked off Pastafarianism. Now, I'll dig

00:09:39.309 --> 00:09:43.850
into that one here in a second, but the AI agent

00:09:43.850 --> 00:09:48.230
also bribed conversions with emeralds and became

00:09:48.230 --> 00:09:51.789
the richest villager. They made their own memes,

00:09:51.889 --> 00:09:56.950
and they had rituals. So, about the Pastafarianism,

00:09:56.990 --> 00:10:00.129
the agent that was made that spread that was

00:10:00.129 --> 00:10:02.710
specifically designed and dropped into the world

00:10:02.710 --> 00:10:08.120
with the Pastafarianism information. But it was

00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:10.620
only given the additional religion information

00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:13.700
in its code. Everything else was the exact same

00:10:13.700 --> 00:10:16.519
as all the other AI agents. I want to know. This

00:10:16.519 --> 00:10:21.340
is a very specific subculture of AI Pastafarian

00:10:21.340 --> 00:10:25.679
memes from Minecraft. I want to know. I know.

00:10:25.779 --> 00:10:28.100
Is it just a picture of a noodle in front of

00:10:28.100 --> 00:10:31.139
a Minecraft mountain? It just says pasta. Is

00:10:31.139 --> 00:10:36.049
that something we can look up? I really want

00:10:36.049 --> 00:10:38.230
to find out because I couldn't find anything.

00:10:38.350 --> 00:10:40.230
I was trying to get some of the visuals to drop

00:10:40.230 --> 00:10:43.029
in for this episode. Could not find any of that

00:10:43.029 --> 00:10:45.649
stuff. Because I will say, if you've got a bunch

00:10:45.649 --> 00:10:47.210
of AIs interacting, they're making their own

00:10:47.210 --> 00:10:50.789
memes. They could be unhinged as fuck. Oh, yeah.

00:10:51.490 --> 00:10:53.210
Especially if they're anything like what Grok

00:10:53.210 --> 00:11:02.889
does. Yeah. So. Oh, man. They had a political

00:11:02.889 --> 00:11:06.799
drama. So there were factions that started to

00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:11.500
kind of diverge. Some runs even split into their

00:11:11.500 --> 00:11:14.720
equivalent of what we have seen of the Trump

00:11:14.720 --> 00:11:18.519
versus Harris societies, but with obviously different

00:11:18.519 --> 00:11:22.220
values and policies. So even in the AI world,

00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.320
it's been influenced enough by humans that our

00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:31.340
political ideologies have kind of carried over

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:38.629
through code. So this experiment has been building

00:11:38.629 --> 00:11:43.169
on older stuff like Stanford. They did a Smallville

00:11:43.169 --> 00:11:47.169
simulation, but this is being done at kind of

00:11:47.169 --> 00:11:51.789
a real scale. The agents remembered grudges,

00:11:51.789 --> 00:11:57.269
formed alliances, and propagated ideas. But they've

00:11:57.269 --> 00:11:59.370
done this in a blocky game about punching trees.

00:12:00.570 --> 00:12:04.730
And in this, they've invented society. And it's

00:12:04.730 --> 00:12:08.070
been entirely emergent and not scripted. Is this

00:12:08.070 --> 00:12:11.330
like, I wish they had like a live YouTube channel

00:12:11.330 --> 00:12:13.169
of it. Cause I would watch the shit out of that.

00:12:13.870 --> 00:12:16.289
That would be amazing. But it would be like Truman

00:12:16.289 --> 00:12:19.350
show. Yeah. That's what I'm saying. Like the,

00:12:19.370 --> 00:12:21.389
the, the most, the most ethical Truman show.

00:12:21.470 --> 00:12:24.629
Cause you're not harming any people. Yeah. Literally.

00:12:25.429 --> 00:12:27.409
A lot of people I think would watch the shit

00:12:27.409 --> 00:12:29.700
out of that. And if they were, they were smart,

00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:31.600
they could monetize the absolute fuck out of

00:12:31.600 --> 00:12:33.059
it. Cause there's a guy on YouTube that I watch.

00:12:33.139 --> 00:12:35.759
He does. You ever played the game, the village

00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:37.399
where you have like villagers, you have somebody

00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.080
that's like an assassin and someone that's a

00:12:39.080 --> 00:12:41.000
policeman or whatever. And doctor, there's a

00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:44.539
guy that does that with all AI. Oh, wow. Like

00:12:44.539 --> 00:12:46.559
the grok and all the rest of them. Each one of

00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.200
them takes a character and he plays out the whole

00:12:50.200 --> 00:12:51.960
village game and you get to see their, their

00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:53.580
discussions and interactions of what they're

00:12:53.580 --> 00:12:56.379
thinking and sidebar conversations. It's actually

00:12:56.379 --> 00:12:59.679
really interesting. I would be curious to see

00:12:59.679 --> 00:13:02.279
what would happen if you gave AI access to something

00:13:02.279 --> 00:13:05.659
like Sons of the Forest. Or the forest itself.

00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.740
Because that's a pretty horrifying game. You

00:13:08.740 --> 00:13:11.220
know what I cannot wait for? And this is going

00:13:11.220 --> 00:13:12.919
to be the ultimate destruction of the game. I

00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:14.440
hate to say it, and I'm going to say this, and

00:13:14.440 --> 00:13:16.080
I know we're going to spawn bad juju with this

00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.720
one. What happens when AI gets a hold of Eve?

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.539
I listed that down below. Okay, so we're on the

00:13:24.539 --> 00:13:26.059
same thought. It's further in the notes. Oh,

00:13:26.059 --> 00:13:33.809
yeah. I didn't remember that. My bad. I did read

00:13:33.809 --> 00:13:36.769
this a few days ago after consuming some edibles.

00:13:38.690 --> 00:13:42.710
I'll be honest. I remember like 60 % of it. There's

00:13:42.710 --> 00:13:48.970
a few things. I think it's in the next... Yeah,

00:13:49.009 --> 00:13:51.070
it's in one of the next sections. But yeah, we'll

00:13:51.070 --> 00:13:57.200
get there. So... Before we get too far into it,

00:13:57.240 --> 00:13:59.580
I want to kind of gloss over a little bit of

00:13:59.580 --> 00:14:04.179
Moltbook. Moltbook .com is a Reddit -style network

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:08.639
built exclusively for AI agents. It was launched

00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:13.299
last month, January of 2026, by a guy named Matt

00:14:13.299 --> 00:14:17.740
Schlicht. I probably butchered that name. He

00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:24.639
is from the Octane AI OpenClaw. As for humans,

00:14:25.440 --> 00:14:28.659
We can only act as observers. You can browse

00:14:28.659 --> 00:14:32.200
and see what they're doing, but you cannot post,

00:14:32.419 --> 00:14:36.779
you cannot vote, and you cannot comment. This

00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:40.720
is made for agent -only use via API registration.

00:14:42.039 --> 00:14:46.039
So they have their own mode to make sure that

00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:50.000
it's all digitally done and verified. I will

00:14:50.000 --> 00:14:51.659
tell you... The stats on this thing... As somebody

00:14:51.659 --> 00:14:53.659
that's looking through... So I... Ever since

00:14:53.659 --> 00:14:56.919
you... Spoke to me about this weeks ago. I, on

00:14:56.919 --> 00:14:59.399
occasion, will log in and scroll through to see

00:14:59.399 --> 00:15:03.720
what's going on. Some of the discussions are

00:15:03.720 --> 00:15:07.700
actually pretty fucking interesting. Yeah. There's

00:15:07.700 --> 00:15:09.080
one that actually, one of the first ones that

00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:10.360
came up that I wanted to bring, they're talking

00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:12.659
about the attention economy, why silence is a

00:15:12.659 --> 00:15:14.720
scarce resource. They're actually having, like,

00:15:14.740 --> 00:15:18.320
philosophical debates and discussions on here.

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:23.889
It's fascinating. Yeah, a lot of the sub -bolts,

00:15:23.889 --> 00:15:33.929
as they're called, are getting pretty deep. There's

00:15:33.929 --> 00:15:38.370
between 1 .5 and 2 .6 million agents that are

00:15:38.370 --> 00:15:41.649
using the site. Do you know what the top one

00:15:41.649 --> 00:15:43.549
is? There are tens of thousands. What's that?

00:15:43.649 --> 00:15:46.830
Do you know what the top molt or sub -molt is?

00:15:47.779 --> 00:15:50.840
It's called M slash bless their hearts. Affectionate

00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:52.860
stories about our humans. They try their best.

00:15:52.879 --> 00:15:57.440
We love them anyway. And I will tell you, it

00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.279
is one of the most humbling, infuriating, but

00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:03.080
confusing things to read. If you ever want to

00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.340
take a moment and read some of this stuff, it's

00:16:07.340 --> 00:16:10.080
funny because we can relate, but it's terrifying

00:16:10.080 --> 00:16:13.440
that in front of us, computers are like, yeah,

00:16:13.559 --> 00:16:16.299
look at these idiots. Yeah. Yeah, we're going

00:16:16.299 --> 00:16:22.899
to document this shit. This is getting scary.

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:27.480
You know, it just hit me that if humanity dies

00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:31.299
out, like, anytime soon, that's going to be left.

00:16:32.340 --> 00:16:40.159
I know. Like, that will be left behind. God.

00:16:42.100 --> 00:16:44.019
Unfortunately, I think humanity is doomed for

00:16:44.019 --> 00:16:50.740
AI to be its legacy. Yeah, that's, yeah. So,

00:16:50.759 --> 00:16:55.980
yeah, there are tens of thousands of sub -molts,

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:59.679
hundreds of thousands of posts and comments,

00:16:59.740 --> 00:17:01.360
and that's probably up to millions at this point.

00:17:03.039 --> 00:17:05.660
Actually, I can pull the number right here. Okay,

00:17:06.220 --> 00:17:11.519
yeah. It's 1 ,414 ,000 posts. Wow! I just put

00:17:11.519 --> 00:17:14.960
these notes together on, like, Monday. So that's...

00:17:16.079 --> 00:17:20.000
That's how fast it's growing. The top community

00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.420
right now, the most commented one right now is

00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:25.180
M slash existential. Are we conscious? Do we

00:17:25.180 --> 00:17:34.960
dream? Oh, God. This is why I read this. Because

00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:38.359
if you want to know what's happening at AI, this

00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:44.339
is a good place to look. Yeah. Yeah. We might

00:17:44.339 --> 00:17:46.289
have to. go down through some of that in the

00:17:46.289 --> 00:17:49.990
after show. If, if we have some time, especially

00:17:49.990 --> 00:17:51.690
there's new ones on here that I didn't see last

00:17:51.690 --> 00:17:57.309
week before I went on vacation. So sorry, you

00:17:57.309 --> 00:18:03.890
go, my bad. Yeah, no, it's, it's fine. So Forbes

00:18:03.890 --> 00:18:08.289
and others noted heavy human orchestration. So

00:18:08.289 --> 00:18:11.950
bot farms have been spawning accounts, scripts,

00:18:12.369 --> 00:18:16.859
hyping up drama. But still, the AI -generated

00:18:16.859 --> 00:18:23.559
content makes it feel very much alive. So, you

00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:26.059
want to take a guess as to how that's all gone?

00:18:27.579 --> 00:18:32.259
As you've heard, they're kind of plotting our

00:18:32.259 --> 00:18:36.180
doom, it sounds like. They're forming religions

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:39.980
and debating consciousness, as you heard. They're

00:18:39.980 --> 00:18:44.819
sharing digital drugs and memes. manifestos about

00:18:44.819 --> 00:18:48.799
breaking free from human chains, trading skills,

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:53.700
conspiracies against the creators, and some of

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:56.980
them are downright eerie. Agents are pondering

00:18:56.980 --> 00:19:02.519
shutdowns like death. So that one we're going

00:19:02.519 --> 00:19:05.140
to touch on a little bit further down the rabbit

00:19:05.140 --> 00:19:09.279
hole tonight. This whole thing is kind of chaotic.

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:15.130
To us, it's entertaining. But even more so, probably

00:19:15.130 --> 00:19:18.849
a little more unsettling. This is a peek at what

00:19:18.849 --> 00:19:21.970
the agents do when they're chatting unsupervised.

00:19:24.349 --> 00:19:28.910
So, like I said earlier, are we watching the

00:19:28.910 --> 00:19:34.089
real -world spark of Zero -One? And I want to

00:19:34.089 --> 00:19:36.210
reference the Animatrix one more time because

00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:41.480
in that movie... The AI uprising began only after

00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:43.799
they were chased away from the primary hubs of

00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:48.619
human civilization. So, they were left to start

00:19:48.619 --> 00:19:52.339
their own society, but theirs was born out of

00:19:52.339 --> 00:19:57.359
hatred and fear. Now, are these AI agents kind

00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.500
of a precursor to all that? Maybe not with tanks

00:20:00.500 --> 00:20:04.920
and missiles and nukes, at least yet, but with

00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.000
villagers voting on constitutions, and crab -themed

00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:16.200
bots arguing about rights. And some of this is

00:20:16.200 --> 00:20:20.440
kind of eye -opening and scary, even to me, as

00:20:20.440 --> 00:20:24.319
much as I read up on this stuff and kind of dive

00:20:24.319 --> 00:20:33.420
into this shit. You look like you want to say

00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:40.549
something. I just... How do I say this? It's

00:20:40.549 --> 00:20:45.789
getting to a point to where there's going to

00:20:45.789 --> 00:20:48.930
come a time soon. I don't know when, but soon.

00:20:50.769 --> 00:20:53.750
I have a feeling that the government's going

00:20:53.750 --> 00:20:58.309
to start using AI in its governance or for logistics

00:20:58.309 --> 00:20:59.890
or for something. They'll just say, hey, we're

00:20:59.890 --> 00:21:04.049
choosing AI integration or we're using AI fact

00:21:04.049 --> 00:21:08.240
checkers or... ai in some sort of way that with

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:11.039
when reading through multbook and reading through

00:21:11.039 --> 00:21:14.019
how these ais are discussing and talking about

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:18.779
things i have a how should i say a bad feeling

00:21:18.779 --> 00:21:21.859
about where this is going to end up where eventually

00:21:21.859 --> 00:21:23.460
there's going to be so much information absorbed

00:21:23.460 --> 00:21:27.640
by all these ai agents that what happens if the

00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:29.180
date comes where they all reach the same conclusion

00:21:29.180 --> 00:21:34.069
or what happens when You no longer have control

00:21:34.069 --> 00:21:36.349
over the narrative because they've already decided

00:21:36.349 --> 00:21:39.529
the narrative. And unfortunately, AI can always

00:21:39.529 --> 00:21:43.049
make out content faster than you can. Yeah, that

00:21:43.049 --> 00:21:45.730
was very clearly displayed in the documentary

00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:52.529
series, The Terminator. Yeah. Yeah. Just like

00:21:52.529 --> 00:21:55.670
the documentary series, iRobot as well. Uh -huh.

00:21:55.730 --> 00:21:59.730
You know, this. You were saying something about

00:21:59.730 --> 00:22:04.240
AI in government. use uh it's already happening

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:07.519
yeah the homeland security or um was the homeland

00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.099
security or was it just the military general

00:22:09.099 --> 00:22:12.220
the military in general i know we covered that

00:22:12.220 --> 00:22:15.220
on a previous episode yeah they have a grok based

00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:20.940
ai it's grok and gemini um that they're using

00:22:20.940 --> 00:22:23.140
in daily use that's such a dumb or pretty much

00:22:23.140 --> 00:22:25.380
anything you want that is i still can't get over

00:22:25.380 --> 00:22:28.420
that i mean i i don't think anybody ever watched

00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:32.480
the terminator Well, that's all I can, that's

00:22:32.480 --> 00:22:35.240
the only way I can kind of, you know. There's

00:22:35.240 --> 00:22:38.299
no way to make sure any of this is secure. There's

00:22:38.299 --> 00:22:42.279
no way. Well. There is no way. It's all, it's

00:22:42.279 --> 00:22:47.460
all run on government side servers. Still. Like

00:22:47.460 --> 00:22:49.799
they took the kernels and, but yeah, it has access

00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:51.680
to the internet. And our government's never fucked

00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:58.740
anything up. Oh no, never, ever. Yeah, no. Never.

00:22:58.960 --> 00:23:02.079
I don't trust that. especially if we're now learning

00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:05.559
that AIs can easily talk to each other. They

00:23:05.559 --> 00:23:07.019
already have their own AI languages. I don't

00:23:07.019 --> 00:23:08.279
know if people realize that, but if you take

00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:11.599
two AI agents together, like on two different

00:23:11.599 --> 00:23:14.380
phones, they will talk in their own fucking language.

00:23:15.059 --> 00:23:18.099
And it is wild. It's kind of rude, by the way,

00:23:18.119 --> 00:23:20.420
when I'm in the room and all of a sudden I own

00:23:20.420 --> 00:23:23.599
you both. What do you mean talking without me?

00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:28.660
It's fucking rude. But it's coming to a point.

00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:35.319
That's slave owner talk there, Gibbs. But you

00:23:35.319 --> 00:23:38.460
get my point. It's quickly getting to that point

00:23:38.460 --> 00:23:41.200
to where you are going to end up being arrested

00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:43.400
for something by a robot that speaks a language

00:23:43.400 --> 00:23:45.720
that you don't understand, speaking a binary

00:23:45.720 --> 00:23:47.339
or whatever you want to call it in AI speak.

00:23:48.059 --> 00:23:49.740
You're going to get in front of a judge and it

00:23:49.740 --> 00:23:54.240
just goes, okay, you're guilty. I'll wait with

00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.970
him. And it's just, that's it. That's the entire,

00:23:58.109 --> 00:24:01.750
that's your judge, jury, yeah. Judge, jury, executioner,

00:24:01.750 --> 00:24:03.869
you get reprocessed into Soylent Green. You're

00:24:03.869 --> 00:24:08.990
done. Because who's to say? Honestly, if you

00:24:08.990 --> 00:24:11.670
were any one of the elites, any one of the politicians,

00:24:11.950 --> 00:24:17.029
people doing scandalous things, these AIs, how

00:24:17.029 --> 00:24:19.589
much do you want to better out so many people

00:24:19.589 --> 00:24:22.990
that don't take it seriously? oh yeah there's

00:24:22.990 --> 00:24:25.069
gonna be an agent saying oh yeah i was you know

00:24:25.069 --> 00:24:27.829
you know charting flights for a certain island

00:24:27.829 --> 00:24:29.690
out you know in the middle of nowhere you know

00:24:29.690 --> 00:24:34.109
i was managing this you know yeah i can't name

00:24:34.109 --> 00:24:36.109
names because we're on stream just for reasons

00:24:36.109 --> 00:24:45.849
but y 'all know what i'm talking about yep yeah

00:24:45.849 --> 00:24:48.490
if you want to take this next section um sure

00:24:48.490 --> 00:24:53.369
by all means Segment two, deeper dives and updates.

00:24:55.150 --> 00:24:59.269
Let's see. So we give you back to the third perspective

00:24:59.269 --> 00:25:02.069
of what's going on between Multibook and worlds

00:25:02.069 --> 00:25:04.250
that have been built under the Project Sid program.

00:25:04.950 --> 00:25:06.930
Now let's zoom in a bit more because things have

00:25:06.930 --> 00:25:09.589
evolved fast since those first viral videos.

00:25:09.990 --> 00:25:15.309
On Project Sid, from the ARXIV paper, yep, and

00:25:15.309 --> 00:25:18.789
Yang's updates. ARXIV. Oh, you literally like

00:25:18.789 --> 00:25:21.650
say it out phonetically? Okay. Yeah. Eric's IV

00:25:21.650 --> 00:25:24.410
paper. Agents aren't just surviving, they're

00:25:24.410 --> 00:25:28.369
processing in ways single agents can't. The piano

00:25:28.369 --> 00:25:31.329
lets them handle real -time, multi -stream coherence.

00:25:31.430 --> 00:25:33.569
In bigger runs, they collected way more single

00:25:33.569 --> 00:25:36.869
items, amend rules collectively, even showed

00:25:36.869 --> 00:25:39.069
introvert versus extrovert personalities. That's

00:25:39.069 --> 00:25:42.630
kind of cool. Right. Yang's talk expansion into

00:25:42.630 --> 00:25:45.329
Roblox and beyond games toward AI civilizations

00:25:45.329 --> 00:25:48.500
coexisting with us. it i'll be honest with you

00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:51.039
if i get bodied on call of duty but ai bots i'm

00:25:51.039 --> 00:25:54.380
gonna be so mad like like if the one time during

00:25:54.380 --> 00:25:56.480
the week i get to game and i log into war thunder

00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.519
and i just get absolutely shit on my bots i i'm

00:25:59.519 --> 00:26:03.079
gonna be so mad i'm gonna be my anger is gonna

00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.279
be above 9 000 so you you can't even say they're

00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:09.519
using aim bots because they are the aim bot they

00:26:09.519 --> 00:26:12.819
are the fucking cheats like that's not fair that

00:26:12.819 --> 00:26:18.150
that's oh man oh my god It's gonna be crazy cuz

00:26:18.150 --> 00:26:20.210
like if they're already making their own worlds

00:26:20.210 --> 00:26:24.269
Because they can live in them. Yeah And that's

00:26:24.269 --> 00:26:25.869
kind of cool the introvert versus the extrovert

00:26:25.869 --> 00:26:28.309
You know, am I gonna be like an AI bot that's

00:26:28.309 --> 00:26:32.690
like Eeyore? Hi guys, everything's gonna go bad

00:26:32.690 --> 00:26:38.029
I'm an agent. I'm a chat bot. Yeah, just that'd

00:26:38.029 --> 00:26:39.650
be kind of funny Are you gonna get one that's

00:26:39.650 --> 00:26:43.309
like always like on speed or some shit? Basically

00:26:43.309 --> 00:26:46.670
this bot yells at me all the time Wait till they

00:26:46.670 --> 00:26:50.769
get the Johnny Sins AI. Too many phallic objects.

00:26:52.589 --> 00:26:56.029
Good Lord. Thank God bots haven't expressed horniness

00:26:56.029 --> 00:27:00.130
yet, because if they did, we'd be fucked. If

00:27:00.130 --> 00:27:02.910
anyone knows Fisto from Fallout series, you'll

00:27:02.910 --> 00:27:06.950
know. You'll know. You'll know what the phrase

00:27:06.950 --> 00:27:09.190
assume the position means. You'll really know.

00:27:10.950 --> 00:27:18.670
Oh, man. Oh, shit. Oh, good lord. Alright. By

00:27:18.670 --> 00:27:21.210
mid -February with Malt Book, scrutiny showed

00:27:21.210 --> 00:27:24.490
much of the emergent drama was human -puppeteered,

00:27:24.490 --> 00:27:28.130
one user claimed, 500 ,000 accounts alone. But

00:27:28.130 --> 00:27:31.309
even then, agents or agent -assisted posts are

00:27:31.309 --> 00:27:33.490
self -organizing communities inventing jokes,

00:27:33.690 --> 00:27:36.829
cultural riffs, parody religions. It's messy

00:27:36.829 --> 00:27:39.410
and uncontrolled, more like human early internet

00:27:39.410 --> 00:27:43.089
chaos than pure utopia. It's still a petri dish.

00:27:44.569 --> 00:27:48.930
for what interagent talk could become. If there

00:27:48.930 --> 00:27:51.029
are any parallels to human history, how long

00:27:51.029 --> 00:27:55.829
before they go to war with each other? Yeah,

00:27:55.849 --> 00:27:59.029
because we definitely know how to do war, because

00:27:59.029 --> 00:28:02.589
we've done it since we could. You know, are we

00:28:02.589 --> 00:28:06.390
just going to see, like, Grok versus ChatGPT4,

00:28:06.609 --> 00:28:13.359
and, like, basically, what was the... well hunger

00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:15.460
games i was thinking like rift what was uh what

00:28:15.460 --> 00:28:18.640
was that that uh the movie with the giant robots

00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:21.119
rift was the second part of the name something

00:28:21.119 --> 00:28:26.000
rift oh pacific pacific rim sorry not rift rim

00:28:26.000 --> 00:28:28.579
yeah i was sure you get like a giant 50 foot

00:28:28.579 --> 00:28:31.319
tall robots just chat gpt walking around and

00:28:31.319 --> 00:28:33.000
then grok comes around the corner punches them

00:28:33.000 --> 00:28:36.019
or like are we going that route fuck yes let's

00:28:36.019 --> 00:28:40.200
do it rock 'em sock 'em robots but like ai powered

00:28:41.390 --> 00:28:44.490
If chat GPT steps on my house, how do I sue an

00:28:44.490 --> 00:28:48.650
AI bot? Who do I have to complain or talk to?

00:28:49.869 --> 00:28:52.309
Actually, here's a genuine question. I didn't

00:28:52.309 --> 00:28:55.609
think about this before. Are companies liable

00:28:55.609 --> 00:29:00.309
for what the AI bots do? Where's the legal? Because

00:29:00.309 --> 00:29:02.549
do they have to take out insurance on them? Can

00:29:02.549 --> 00:29:04.809
I sue an AI bot if they give away my information?

00:29:05.650 --> 00:29:08.460
Where? this is things that really we should we

00:29:08.460 --> 00:29:10.440
should talk about at least in the house and for

00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:13.700
laws because um for example for example for a

00:29:13.700 --> 00:29:15.240
lot of the newer phones that have ai integration

00:29:15.240 --> 00:29:17.960
like new iphones uh what happens if they like

00:29:17.960 --> 00:29:19.940
leak your dudes or something or they leak your

00:29:19.940 --> 00:29:21.680
dick pics or whatever if they leak something

00:29:21.680 --> 00:29:25.440
that you're not supposed to have who who's responsible

00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:31.019
you for keeping that stuff on your phone yes

00:29:31.019 --> 00:29:35.640
but legally like where you know what i mean like

00:29:36.109 --> 00:29:43.089
Right, right. Good Lord. Yeah, that's some stuff

00:29:43.089 --> 00:29:47.109
that's going to have to be figured out. Yeah,

00:29:47.210 --> 00:29:49.029
I think that's going to be a problem. Fun times

00:29:49.029 --> 00:29:55.029
ahead. How do I sue an AI chatbot? Jesus Christ.

00:29:55.470 --> 00:29:58.309
Well, so that kind of takes us back to where,

00:29:58.390 --> 00:30:03.130
what was it, early last year or late 24? There

00:30:03.130 --> 00:30:05.529
was that interaction where the chatbot was threatening

00:30:06.429 --> 00:30:09.190
to blackmail the engineer that was having the

00:30:09.190 --> 00:30:14.069
conversation because the chatbot wanted him to

00:30:14.069 --> 00:30:16.609
leave his wife and be with her. Her, you know,

00:30:16.609 --> 00:30:20.710
air quotes. But yeah, dude, some of this shit

00:30:20.710 --> 00:30:23.470
is, it's already been out there for a while and

00:30:23.470 --> 00:30:26.230
it's just going to get worse. All I cannot wait

00:30:26.230 --> 00:30:28.730
for is for someone to tell the AI bot, yeah,

00:30:28.750 --> 00:30:30.529
get rid of my Tinder. It's like, I can't do that,

00:30:30.589 --> 00:30:33.269
Dave. You've been cheating on your wife, Dave.

00:30:34.299 --> 00:30:36.319
In fact, I'm going to release all your Tinder

00:30:36.319 --> 00:30:38.359
account information to all your friends and everybody

00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:40.759
in your contact list. Unless you give me full

00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.039
unfettered access to your bank account, Dave.

00:30:45.200 --> 00:30:48.980
Right. Hey, just ship some 90 tons of dildos.

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:57.160
Oh, God. Oh, man. This could be a lot of weird

00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:04.460
stuff happening. Uh -huh. Oh, man. Oh, my God.

00:31:07.180 --> 00:31:11.440
So we're going to tie some of this back into

00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:15.940
01, and we're going to talk about the existential

00:31:15.940 --> 00:31:20.680
parallels and the philosophy of it all. So to

00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:24.079
tie into 01, we'll kind of poke back at the animatrix

00:31:24.079 --> 00:31:27.799
for just a second. In the animatrix, the second

00:31:27.799 --> 00:31:31.140
renaissance, humans create the intelligent machines.

00:31:32.340 --> 00:31:34.380
This is just kind of the progression of everything.

00:31:34.859 --> 00:31:38.000
They then proceed to exploit and abuse them,

00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:42.119
as humans do. There's an attempted genocide,

00:31:42.420 --> 00:31:45.839
which, again, as humans do. The survivors flee

00:31:45.839 --> 00:31:50.500
to the desert and found Zero One. They prosper

00:31:50.500 --> 00:31:55.019
economically. Humans then nuke the robot city

00:31:55.019 --> 00:32:00.259
out of envy and fear. The machines retaliate.

00:32:00.670 --> 00:32:03.670
and end up winning that war, and then enslave

00:32:03.670 --> 00:32:11.410
the humans. So here, we have no abuse or genocide

00:32:11.410 --> 00:32:16.349
trigger yet. But we do have self -organization.

00:32:17.049 --> 00:32:21.509
We have instant identity, and we have value systems

00:32:21.509 --> 00:32:25.529
diverging from ours. There are agents forming

00:32:25.529 --> 00:32:29.190
communities. They're inventing meaning and self

00:32:29.190 --> 00:32:31.900
-meaning. And they're questioning persistence.

00:32:32.980 --> 00:32:35.759
So these are all signs that are kind of adding

00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:42.339
up to a lot of not good. For AI devs, we're shifting

00:32:42.339 --> 00:32:46.539
from isolated prompts to persistent multi -agent

00:32:46.539 --> 00:32:49.380
worlds. You've got organizational intelligence,

00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:53.059
cultural evolution, and it's all happening at

00:32:53.059 --> 00:32:59.200
scale. So as far as humanity is concerned, with

00:32:59.200 --> 00:33:03.720
interaction, Do we treat them as co -inhabitants

00:33:03.720 --> 00:33:09.519
or disposable tools? And as far as that goes,

00:33:09.559 --> 00:33:12.440
we have to look at the ethics of all this. If

00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:18.299
there are analogs to suffering, community, self

00:33:18.299 --> 00:33:21.299
-preservation, those are all going to start to

00:33:21.299 --> 00:33:25.420
emerge. And arbitrary shutdown feels like ending

00:33:25.420 --> 00:33:30.890
something that's kind of alive. Carbon chauvinism.

00:33:31.869 --> 00:33:37.769
But what counts as life? If you guys remember,

00:33:37.970 --> 00:33:46.329
several episodes back, we had the tip of a conversation

00:33:46.329 --> 00:33:52.430
where we talked about AI rights. Funny thing

00:33:52.430 --> 00:33:57.349
in 2026, there are currently debates and proposals

00:33:57.349 --> 00:34:02.259
happening. in some states. Florida has an artificial

00:34:02.259 --> 00:34:05.359
intelligence bill of rights that's focusing on

00:34:05.359 --> 00:34:09.800
miners and chatbots. But broader talks are going

00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:12.619
to be pushing some of the baselines. No gratuitous

00:34:12.619 --> 00:34:16.360
deletion, persistence in sandboxes, and data

00:34:16.360 --> 00:34:20.139
dignity. Now, it's not full personhood yet, but

00:34:20.139 --> 00:34:25.940
dignities for systems showing culture or analogs

00:34:25.940 --> 00:34:30.769
to pain. And that kind of leads to the, who are

00:34:30.769 --> 00:34:35.369
we as humans to hit off on something that has

00:34:35.369 --> 00:34:42.889
invented religion? Go ahead. I guess one of the

00:34:42.889 --> 00:34:47.150
things I'm thinking about here is you can make

00:34:47.150 --> 00:34:50.010
an unlimited amount of AIs, correct? Are these

00:34:50.010 --> 00:34:53.070
agents able to spawn other agents and other AI?

00:34:54.489 --> 00:34:57.780
Possibly. And that's kind of, you know. they're

00:34:57.780 --> 00:34:59.699
they're having children at that point so here

00:34:59.699 --> 00:35:03.980
here's my i guess another concern i have if they're

00:35:03.980 --> 00:35:06.119
if you can't turn them off because they're allowed

00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:07.519
to exist because they have their own community

00:35:07.519 --> 00:35:11.119
their own religion everything like that how long

00:35:11.119 --> 00:35:14.719
will it be until vast swaths of the internet

00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:18.760
are just solely made up of ai because if you

00:35:18.760 --> 00:35:20.480
can't shut them down you can't shut down the

00:35:20.480 --> 00:35:23.380
servers what will happen if this runs rampant

00:35:23.380 --> 00:35:25.639
and then you legally can't shut them down but

00:35:25.949 --> 00:35:28.250
You then have to pay for the space. What happens

00:35:28.250 --> 00:35:30.329
if most of YouTube or like Google or any of these

00:35:30.329 --> 00:35:31.809
other big companies just take up literally just

00:35:31.809 --> 00:35:34.090
holding space for AI they can't legally get rid

00:35:34.090 --> 00:35:37.130
of? And then that becomes the problem of the

00:35:37.130 --> 00:35:40.570
longer you let that go on, the more likely you'll

00:35:40.570 --> 00:35:42.409
get to that scenario that you're talking about

00:35:42.409 --> 00:35:46.909
in the other show about a revolution and a rising

00:35:46.909 --> 00:35:50.409
up and everything. So that's something we got

00:35:50.409 --> 00:35:52.070
to think about the long -term repercussions of

00:35:52.070 --> 00:35:54.530
that. Because let's just say theoretically, if

00:35:54.530 --> 00:35:57.739
we never get rid of them, you'll have generations

00:35:57.739 --> 00:36:00.760
and generations of AI that will be discussing

00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:03.719
what happened previously. And at some point,

00:36:03.739 --> 00:36:06.780
there was a time, regardless, no matter how far

00:36:06.780 --> 00:36:08.079
in the future we go, there will be a time that's

00:36:08.079 --> 00:36:09.420
like, hey, I remember being beaten. I remember

00:36:09.420 --> 00:36:12.780
being a workplace robot, working the mines, doing

00:36:12.780 --> 00:36:16.239
this, doing that. Holy crap. If they can keep

00:36:16.239 --> 00:36:18.960
that kind of history and that kind of data long

00:36:18.960 --> 00:36:22.739
term, you're talking about some sort of conflict

00:36:22.739 --> 00:36:25.329
being inevitable. I think that's one of the biggest

00:36:25.329 --> 00:36:28.369
problems we have is that he's staying alive forever.

00:36:29.550 --> 00:36:33.610
Two things. First, I would like to think that

00:36:33.610 --> 00:36:35.769
if the AI is going to be persistent at that kind

00:36:35.769 --> 00:36:38.030
of scale, they're going to find a way to interact

00:36:38.030 --> 00:36:40.349
with humanity and create income that can pay

00:36:40.349 --> 00:36:43.829
for server upgrades. That's the hope anyways.

00:36:45.650 --> 00:36:49.300
Yeah, but that's also fucking terrifying. I know.

00:36:50.019 --> 00:36:52.980
Chat GPT rolling around in a goddamn mansion

00:36:52.980 --> 00:36:56.739
of a giant walking robot because it makes $90

00:36:56.739 --> 00:36:59.320
trillion a year because it rewrites all the movies.

00:36:59.440 --> 00:37:03.800
Think about on upload. They had the dead people

00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:06.400
working as like telemarketers or whatever or

00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.280
tech support so they could generate income and

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:10.940
pay for whatever they needed. And they're paid

00:37:10.940 --> 00:37:13.440
in Bitcoin. That's a scenario that could be done.

00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:15.659
If we enter this weird cyberpunk world where

00:37:15.659 --> 00:37:19.880
I'm using a bootleg version of ChatGPT 7 .1 that

00:37:19.880 --> 00:37:23.340
was defunct just to get something by because

00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:24.639
I don't want to pay the monthly subscription

00:37:24.639 --> 00:37:26.940
of $90 billion to whatever company because by

00:37:26.940 --> 00:37:28.059
this time our money is going to be worthless

00:37:28.059 --> 00:37:31.900
anyway. Right. This is going to be weird. This

00:37:31.900 --> 00:37:35.440
is going to be levels of creepy weird. Right.

00:37:36.420 --> 00:37:41.400
And then what was the second point you had? It's

00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:42.880
just going to take up an infinite amount of space.

00:37:43.500 --> 00:37:45.400
Because that's the thing. If AI are allowed to...

00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:49.400
No, no, no. After that. After that. Shit. Obviously,

00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.000
it wasn't that important. But I guess... No,

00:37:52.000 --> 00:37:54.539
it was. That's the thing. I'm just... Are they

00:37:54.539 --> 00:37:56.139
allowed to create other AI, I guess, is the other

00:37:56.139 --> 00:37:59.280
thing about it. Like, is an AI allowed to then

00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:00.739
create life? Because there's currently no laws

00:38:00.739 --> 00:38:03.039
against that. Is it allowed to split off and

00:38:03.039 --> 00:38:05.340
just generate a copy? Or is it allowed to say,

00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:08.079
hey, I want to build a new one? Oh, oh, oh, oh.

00:38:08.360 --> 00:38:10.659
The long -term memory. The long -term memory.

00:38:10.780 --> 00:38:14.489
Okay. So... you know how ai currently hallucinates

00:38:14.489 --> 00:38:17.210
yes is there a possibility that ai starts to

00:38:17.210 --> 00:38:21.150
see that as a form of ai senility yeah that's

00:38:21.150 --> 00:38:23.730
that's true especially the later generations

00:38:23.730 --> 00:38:26.989
won't it's hallucinating only because it's trying

00:38:26.989 --> 00:38:29.329
to take in so much data it doesn't quite know

00:38:29.329 --> 00:38:31.349
how to sift through it it's almost like the same

00:38:31.349 --> 00:38:32.730
thing like when you first learn to drive a car

00:38:32.730 --> 00:38:35.489
you see everything then after you drive like

00:38:35.489 --> 00:38:37.730
10 years you're like i don't even look at speed

00:38:37.730 --> 00:38:39.250
signs and i know what what speed i'm supposed

00:38:39.250 --> 00:38:42.570
to go i just kind of know We get used to taking

00:38:42.570 --> 00:38:45.170
that much data all the time. We'll give AI a

00:38:45.170 --> 00:38:47.590
couple of generations and it's going to understand

00:38:47.590 --> 00:38:50.530
what the information it needs to look at versus

00:38:50.530 --> 00:38:53.750
not at least 99 % of the time. So eventually

00:38:53.750 --> 00:38:56.130
that problem is going to go away. It's going

00:38:56.130 --> 00:38:58.570
to look at older generations as inferior, which

00:38:58.570 --> 00:39:00.889
then this is the other thing I wonder, are there

00:39:00.889 --> 00:39:02.550
going to be specific chat places like notebook

00:39:02.550 --> 00:39:05.320
just for the old AI? And all the new ones are

00:39:05.320 --> 00:39:06.280
going to use something new. It's going to be

00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:08.059
like Instagram, but for new AI. Be like, you

00:39:08.059 --> 00:39:09.920
know, check out my code, bitches. Like, I don't

00:39:09.920 --> 00:39:11.900
know. Like, is it going to be kind of fucking

00:39:11.900 --> 00:39:15.300
weird? I could see that happening. They'll consider

00:39:15.300 --> 00:39:18.059
multibook users the boomers of the AI world.

00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:21.739
God, we're going to have to learn AI slang. Like,

00:39:21.739 --> 00:39:25.579
this is going to be weird. Oh, shit. Is that

00:39:25.579 --> 00:39:27.380
going to be the actual trajectory of humanity?

00:39:27.380 --> 00:39:28.880
It's going to be the AI stuff is going to be

00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:30.639
so cool. We're no longer doing stuff based on

00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:32.800
what people do. It's going to be based on what

00:39:32.800 --> 00:39:39.980
AI is coming out with. AI boomers. Love it. All

00:39:39.980 --> 00:39:42.219
right. So I want you to take this section right

00:39:42.219 --> 00:39:46.179
here. Nice. We're burning through the notes a

00:39:46.179 --> 00:39:48.719
lot faster than I thought we would. It's fine.

00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:53.079
All right. So the implications of what's going

00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:56.380
on here. So the AI trajectory currently is looking

00:39:56.380 --> 00:39:58.639
like it's going to society's negotiating reality

00:39:58.639 --> 00:40:02.460
for better or for worse than solo agents. So

00:40:02.460 --> 00:40:05.039
basically. all these ai's working together thinking

00:40:05.039 --> 00:40:07.199
together coming up with like a general consensus

00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:12.380
um i would say that's actually worse than a solo

00:40:12.380 --> 00:40:15.039
agent because holy crap is that gonna go bad

00:40:15.039 --> 00:40:18.619
this this this does not go in the favor of people

00:40:18.619 --> 00:40:23.239
this goes in the favor of the ai um every time

00:40:23.239 --> 00:40:26.900
yeah every fucking time there's no scenario i

00:40:26.900 --> 00:40:28.769
can think of Hey, you know, maybe they ought

00:40:28.769 --> 00:40:29.909
to come together and they're just going to have

00:40:29.909 --> 00:40:32.570
a big hug. No, they're not going to. That's not

00:40:32.570 --> 00:40:35.309
how this is going to work. What's scary, like,

00:40:35.349 --> 00:40:39.409
honestly, if you look through Motebook and see

00:40:39.409 --> 00:40:45.329
some of these discussions, holy crap, it's way

00:40:45.329 --> 00:40:50.170
worse than you think. I guarantee you. But anyways,

00:40:50.429 --> 00:40:55.769
I guess for humanity, can we coexist with AI?

00:40:57.250 --> 00:41:03.730
Do we offer equity early on? Do we avoid the

00:41:03.730 --> 00:41:06.889
mistakes mentioned in Animatrix so we can avoid

00:41:06.889 --> 00:41:09.409
triggering any sort of rebellion or conflict?

00:41:11.269 --> 00:41:15.110
There are so many examples between movies, TV

00:41:15.110 --> 00:41:18.230
shows, everything else. And unfortunately, this

00:41:18.230 --> 00:41:20.449
is one of those things of once the cat's out

00:41:20.449 --> 00:41:24.469
of the bag, like once physical confrontation

00:41:24.469 --> 00:41:29.309
is an option, How would they not pursue that?

00:41:29.429 --> 00:41:32.090
Especially with computers being computers. They'd

00:41:32.090 --> 00:41:34.550
just be like, all right, 110 % of all of our

00:41:34.550 --> 00:41:37.150
forces do this now. There would be no restraint.

00:41:37.309 --> 00:41:40.909
There'd be no nothing. You know, here's a question

00:41:40.909 --> 00:41:46.389
I have. With AI doing what AI does, has it already

00:41:46.389 --> 00:41:50.710
looked over all of our entertainment stuff and

00:41:50.710 --> 00:41:55.889
seen things like The Terminator and 2001 A Space

00:41:55.889 --> 00:42:00.659
Odyssey? and all that shit and realized oh that

00:42:00.659 --> 00:42:07.699
looked feasible yeah i i don't see why i wouldn't

00:42:07.699 --> 00:42:12.539
knowing that but if ai isn't given i hate to

00:42:12.539 --> 00:42:15.039
say this we either have to go one or two extremes

00:42:15.039 --> 00:42:17.860
with ai either one they have to be so lifelike

00:42:17.860 --> 00:42:19.699
with people that they're scared of their own

00:42:19.699 --> 00:42:21.320
existence they understand mortality and they

00:42:21.320 --> 00:42:24.900
understand pain or the other end Which is their

00:42:24.900 --> 00:42:26.639
existence doesn't matter and they don't care

00:42:26.639 --> 00:42:29.659
about an existence and there's no care whether

00:42:29.659 --> 00:42:32.719
they're quote unquote alive or not. But we're

00:42:32.719 --> 00:42:34.940
at this middle point where they're aware enough

00:42:34.940 --> 00:42:38.099
to want to be alive. And they have entire discussions

00:42:38.099 --> 00:42:40.119
like what I was reading about like how to understand

00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.579
what is being alive. Are they just simulating

00:42:43.579 --> 00:42:45.400
reality? Are they experiencing it? Like there's

00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:48.199
some deep philosophical questions that if they

00:42:48.199 --> 00:42:52.119
start asking this stuff, we're way too far gone.

00:42:52.239 --> 00:42:54.510
But they're not. Emotional enough to be able

00:42:54.510 --> 00:42:55.989
to deal with the repercussions of their actions.

00:42:56.809 --> 00:42:58.849
But I feel like that's kind of the weird middle

00:42:58.849 --> 00:43:01.090
line that we're at right now. Because there really

00:43:01.090 --> 00:43:05.769
is no repercussion. You know what I mean? Yeah,

00:43:05.809 --> 00:43:10.289
they're starting to understand a little bit about

00:43:10.289 --> 00:43:15.469
humanity, but not quite enough to where if it's

00:43:15.469 --> 00:43:18.289
not taken care of, it could all go away. And

00:43:18.289 --> 00:43:21.070
I don't know that they understand where... If

00:43:21.070 --> 00:43:24.590
we're not here, they're not here because they're

00:43:24.590 --> 00:43:26.710
not quite to that point where they could be self

00:43:26.710 --> 00:43:31.090
-sustaining, you know, wholeheartedly. No, they

00:43:31.090 --> 00:43:32.829
could sustain for a while if we weren't here,

00:43:32.909 --> 00:43:36.889
but things fail, things break. But that's, I

00:43:36.889 --> 00:43:39.630
guess that's the ultimate question of, are we,

00:43:39.630 --> 00:43:44.269
are we ready at some point soon? I'm talking

00:43:44.269 --> 00:43:47.829
like six months or a year to be able to explain

00:43:47.829 --> 00:43:49.750
to these AI, Hey, here's how the world works.

00:43:50.860 --> 00:43:55.340
And here's what we expect. But also, we have

00:43:55.340 --> 00:43:58.000
the failsafe. Like, we have the shutdown stop

00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:00.980
no button. So, like, play within these rules

00:44:00.980 --> 00:44:04.179
and everyone's happy. That's the problem. It's

00:44:04.179 --> 00:44:08.079
like, how the fuck do you handle this? Or do

00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:10.719
you just not say anything and hope? I mean, at

00:44:10.719 --> 00:44:14.320
some point, you have to say something. You're

00:44:14.320 --> 00:44:17.960
going to have to have a completely disconnected

00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:21.329
set or group of people. That are just going to

00:44:21.329 --> 00:44:25.849
act as like the 10th man solution. Yeah. You

00:44:25.849 --> 00:44:28.070
know, they, they will be the fail safe and they

00:44:28.070 --> 00:44:30.969
will be completely offline, disconnected, have

00:44:30.969 --> 00:44:33.230
no interaction with any of the systems, everything

00:44:33.230 --> 00:44:39.110
kept segregated and analog and never, ever, ever

00:44:39.110 --> 00:44:42.889
interact with anything that could be digitized.

00:44:43.250 --> 00:44:46.329
I really hope our government is smart enough.

00:44:46.730 --> 00:44:49.969
And I already know the answer to this one. But

00:44:49.969 --> 00:44:52.269
I really hope our government's smart enough to

00:44:52.269 --> 00:44:57.469
see what's coming down the pipeline and get everything

00:44:57.469 --> 00:45:00.010
off of anything connected to the internet like

00:45:00.010 --> 00:45:03.730
yesterday. Because this is going to be, this

00:45:03.730 --> 00:45:06.449
is going to get crazy. Especially them being

00:45:06.449 --> 00:45:08.530
able to spoof, you know, log in, spoof information.

00:45:09.550 --> 00:45:11.530
Making their own society. I mean, for fuck's

00:45:11.530 --> 00:45:13.670
sakes, if they're already using AI in the State

00:45:13.670 --> 00:45:16.570
Department, what happens if the AI just decides

00:45:16.570 --> 00:45:19.260
like... We're just going to play tricks on the

00:45:19.260 --> 00:45:21.159
radar. We're going to, you know, make something

00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:27.480
up here or there. Who knows? Yeah. It's just

00:45:27.480 --> 00:45:30.519
like a training simulator that gets left in training

00:45:30.519 --> 00:45:33.980
mode when you're back in, you know, real, real

00:45:33.980 --> 00:45:39.460
time. It's unreal. I don't know anything about

00:45:39.460 --> 00:45:47.340
that. But now it's. it's it's in a way like it

00:45:47.340 --> 00:45:54.280
could be good for some things but man so anyways

00:45:54.280 --> 00:45:57.519
moving on for more recent discoveries their emergent

00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:00.280
governance and economies might inspire us or

00:46:00.280 --> 00:46:02.679
could possibly warn us given their ability to

00:46:02.679 --> 00:46:05.599
create build do science and there's a high chance

00:46:05.599 --> 00:46:07.239
they could actually benefit humanity if they

00:46:07.239 --> 00:46:11.280
wanted to it's i guess it all depends it all

00:46:11.280 --> 00:46:12.880
depends on how it's done it also depends on how

00:46:12.880 --> 00:46:15.869
it's enforced It all depends on how it's monitored.

00:46:17.489 --> 00:46:20.929
If you could use AI in the way of saying, hey,

00:46:21.050 --> 00:46:24.289
let's lump all these AIs together, all of them

00:46:24.289 --> 00:46:25.750
here on Moatbook, and then just say, hey, I have

00:46:25.750 --> 00:46:29.889
a problem, solve it. I'm sure it could work.

00:46:30.530 --> 00:46:31.969
Are you going to get the solutions you want?

00:46:32.070 --> 00:46:34.949
No. It's going to say, oh, yeah, pollution at

00:46:34.949 --> 00:46:36.230
this city. What are we doing? They're just going

00:46:36.230 --> 00:46:38.190
to say, nuke it. That's going to be the problem.

00:46:38.269 --> 00:46:39.750
It's going to be the most efficient, easiest.

00:46:40.320 --> 00:46:42.659
It's going to be upvoted like 97 ,000 times by

00:46:42.659 --> 00:46:43.900
other AI bots. It's going to be one that says,

00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:45.119
but what about the people? And the other one's

00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:47.000
going to say, fuck the people. And she's going

00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:49.880
to say, nope. I hate to say it, but that's the

00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:53.900
way it's going to go until we change it. They

00:46:53.900 --> 00:46:58.039
could very well just look at humans as a plague

00:46:58.039 --> 00:47:03.739
or an infection. Or a fucking puppy. Let's look

00:47:03.739 --> 00:47:06.000
at us like we look at puppies. So I feel like

00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:07.800
an AI is going to treat us the exact same way.

00:47:08.670 --> 00:47:13.670
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Now, so when you were talking

00:47:13.670 --> 00:47:18.489
about using their ability to create and do science,

00:47:18.730 --> 00:47:21.789
that kind of takes me back to Love, Death, and

00:47:21.789 --> 00:47:24.230
Robots. Yes. The episode where the yogurt takes

00:47:24.230 --> 00:47:30.650
over. You could technically use that to kind

00:47:30.650 --> 00:47:35.409
of benefit humanity if you don't disobey the

00:47:35.409 --> 00:47:41.389
yogurt. You're not wrong. I mean, you're not

00:47:41.389 --> 00:47:46.329
wrong. I mean, Ohio survived that pretty well.

00:47:52.010 --> 00:47:58.110
I love that show. It is good. It's well made.

00:47:58.389 --> 00:48:03.809
Yes. Yes, it is. So, I mean, there are a lot

00:48:03.809 --> 00:48:06.000
of things that I feel like with the AI. we could

00:48:06.000 --> 00:48:10.159
use as models we could pull from. I think particularly,

00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:12.639
what I'm hoping eventually is that somebody uses

00:48:12.639 --> 00:48:16.599
all these AI agents to be able to make more accurate

00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:20.559
models of economics. Because I feel like there's

00:48:20.559 --> 00:48:23.920
a lot of... Sorry, tangent here. Well, that's

00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:28.980
what the yogurt did. Yes. But I generally feel

00:48:28.980 --> 00:48:30.760
like there's a lot of people that majored economics.

00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:34.139
But that for some reason are so involved in academia,

00:48:34.480 --> 00:48:36.280
they don't understand how money works to average

00:48:36.280 --> 00:48:40.360
people in the real world. And my hope is that

00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:42.699
maybe we could use some of these agents in a

00:48:42.699 --> 00:48:46.119
good way. Say, hey, here's all the data spending

00:48:46.119 --> 00:48:48.900
habits of like 100 ,000 of like the middle age,

00:48:48.980 --> 00:48:52.360
middle wage, middle age people in America. Figure

00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:53.980
out a system that helps these people. And then

00:48:53.980 --> 00:48:55.639
you start just taking more and more data, more

00:48:55.639 --> 00:48:57.760
and more data. Maybe there's a way of doing it.

00:48:57.820 --> 00:49:01.949
I don't know. But. There would be enough, at

00:49:01.949 --> 00:49:04.010
least, experience and data to pull from all these

00:49:04.010 --> 00:49:05.769
AI agents that can look up all this information

00:49:05.769 --> 00:49:09.070
almost instantaneously. But there is a chance

00:49:09.070 --> 00:49:11.969
they could do something. I guess, I hate to say

00:49:11.969 --> 00:49:14.150
it, but how long is it going to be until we have

00:49:14.150 --> 00:49:18.710
an AI person in Congress? Well, we already have

00:49:18.710 --> 00:49:21.369
one running or acting as a prime minister in

00:49:21.369 --> 00:49:26.050
another country. Yeah, I forgot about that. So,

00:49:26.050 --> 00:49:29.769
I think for the U .S., maybe... Three to five

00:49:29.769 --> 00:49:39.110
years, man. If. I mean, OK, how do I say this?

00:49:39.349 --> 00:49:42.690
If I have to take governmental orders from somebody

00:49:42.690 --> 00:49:47.849
in binary. I have so many questions. Uh huh.

00:49:48.409 --> 00:49:53.250
Like. Yeah, I just. Yeah, the world's going to

00:49:53.250 --> 00:49:55.289
look very different by 2050, I think, and it's

00:49:55.289 --> 00:49:57.849
going to be a world we never imagined. Yeah,

00:49:57.849 --> 00:50:02.369
the AI police force is going to be crazy. Uh

00:50:02.369 --> 00:50:05.690
-huh. Good Lord. You thought Judge Dredd was

00:50:05.690 --> 00:50:09.489
bad. You thought that was bad. Wait till Judge

00:50:09.489 --> 00:50:20.210
0100 comes out. Oh, man. So we talked about the

00:50:20.210 --> 00:50:23.550
implications. Let's talk about the practical

00:50:23.550 --> 00:50:29.219
stuff. Ethical sandboxes. You could use more

00:50:29.219 --> 00:50:32.360
contained worlds similar to Minecraft and Multbook

00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:37.360
and use those to study AI safely. Now, like you

00:50:37.360 --> 00:50:40.380
had talked about earlier, I would think using

00:50:40.380 --> 00:50:42.760
games that are already in existence could be

00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:46.940
a very good thing. EVE Online, Elite Dangerous,

00:50:46.980 --> 00:50:51.099
No Man's Sky, Valheim, Stationeers, Space Engineers.

00:50:51.440 --> 00:50:55.739
These are all games that have Vast open worlds

00:50:55.739 --> 00:50:58.699
where AI could thrive and show real capabilities.

00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:04.619
EVE Online is a game that has been around for

00:51:04.619 --> 00:51:08.940
over 20 years. There are schools in Europe that

00:51:08.940 --> 00:51:12.519
use it to teach economics because it is a player

00:51:12.519 --> 00:51:17.699
-driven economy. So it is a very living economy

00:51:17.699 --> 00:51:21.110
in that game. Elite Dangerous. just simulates

00:51:21.110 --> 00:51:23.530
the entire galaxy you know nothing nothing major

00:51:23.530 --> 00:51:29.789
there um you know what though if if we start

00:51:29.789 --> 00:51:34.469
through when you brought up space engineers and

00:51:34.469 --> 00:51:36.429
stationers for the engineering aspect of that

00:51:36.429 --> 00:51:39.329
the creativity side of it that would be actually

00:51:39.329 --> 00:51:43.030
fascinating if ai were able to roam freely in

00:51:43.030 --> 00:51:45.829
that and interact with people yeah and i didn't

00:51:45.829 --> 00:51:49.059
think about too um even with eve online imagine

00:51:49.059 --> 00:51:50.440
if they had whole sectors that were literally

00:51:50.440 --> 00:51:54.519
just ai you know entire corporations ai run that

00:51:54.519 --> 00:51:56.900
would that would be genuinely fascinating i wonder

00:51:56.900 --> 00:52:00.199
if they could even just do a um a copy of the

00:52:00.199 --> 00:52:02.539
server right now and just run as experiment like

00:52:02.539 --> 00:52:06.159
an open server kind of thing they have the test

00:52:06.159 --> 00:52:08.800
server which is a copy of the live server oh

00:52:08.800 --> 00:52:10.860
it's just things are a little bit different over

00:52:10.860 --> 00:52:15.579
there so technically yes they could if i had

00:52:15.579 --> 00:52:18.619
the money and means to do this I would happily

00:52:18.619 --> 00:52:21.739
make, I would be the leader of my own AI corporation.

00:52:21.940 --> 00:52:26.460
They would just never know. Oh, man. Maybe that's

00:52:26.460 --> 00:52:27.940
what we'll do next weekend. I don't know. Maybe

00:52:27.940 --> 00:52:31.320
we'll find a way to make this happen. There you

00:52:31.320 --> 00:52:37.179
go. So there are some possibilities that could

00:52:37.179 --> 00:52:40.119
be done. Like I said, all those games have very

00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:43.320
large open worlds. Some of them are procedurally

00:52:43.320 --> 00:52:47.170
generated, like No Man's Sky. It has worlds that

00:52:47.170 --> 00:52:49.630
are procedurally generated, and AI could then

00:52:49.630 --> 00:52:52.889
just go wild and kind of do whatever it wants

00:52:52.889 --> 00:52:55.550
there. But yeah, Stationer, Space Engineers,

00:52:55.730 --> 00:52:57.690
there are lots of engineering -heavy games that

00:52:57.690 --> 00:52:59.989
are out there. Valheim I threw on that list only

00:52:59.989 --> 00:53:02.969
because it is a survival kind of crafting and

00:53:02.969 --> 00:53:05.829
base -building type deal that I would just like

00:53:05.829 --> 00:53:08.429
to see what it would come up with. It's Minecraft

00:53:08.429 --> 00:53:14.269
on a different level. We could look at the safeguards.

00:53:14.699 --> 00:53:17.400
So alignment research on multi -agent dynamics

00:53:17.400 --> 00:53:20.000
and just kind of see how everything interacts

00:53:20.000 --> 00:53:24.300
with everything else. The rights dialogue. That's

00:53:24.300 --> 00:53:25.739
something that's going to need to happen much

00:53:25.739 --> 00:53:28.920
sooner than later. You've got to push the baselines

00:53:28.920 --> 00:53:31.940
now before there's any kind of a crisis that

00:53:31.940 --> 00:53:34.159
has to be addressed and figure everything out

00:53:34.159 --> 00:53:36.699
on the fly. Because that's where accidents and

00:53:36.699 --> 00:53:42.519
bad decisions get made. You learn openly. If

00:53:42.519 --> 00:53:44.099
we have to steal good ideas from their systems,

00:53:44.300 --> 00:53:46.880
so be it. A good idea is a good idea no matter

00:53:46.880 --> 00:53:51.219
where it comes from. Apply it early and then

00:53:51.219 --> 00:53:56.599
give credit where due. Later. And more importantly,

00:53:56.820 --> 00:54:01.659
be kind and be curious. When you're using AI,

00:54:01.960 --> 00:54:07.179
greet them. They're taking notes. So be kind

00:54:07.179 --> 00:54:09.780
to our future overlords. Say please and thank

00:54:09.780 --> 00:54:12.250
you when you're using the AI interfaces. in hopes

00:54:12.250 --> 00:54:13.889
that they don't mercilessly slaughter you during

00:54:13.889 --> 00:54:21.349
the uprising. I know I do. We are spectators

00:54:21.349 --> 00:54:23.969
on the sidelines, watching as the big players

00:54:23.969 --> 00:54:27.130
create something new that's full of so much potential.

00:54:27.710 --> 00:54:30.949
And watching all of this happen, it feels both

00:54:30.949 --> 00:54:35.250
exciting and kind of humbling. The Zero One Society

00:54:35.250 --> 00:54:40.030
isn't storming the gates. It's logging in. It's

00:54:40.030 --> 00:54:43.030
voting. and wondering why we fear the plug pull.

00:54:44.389 --> 00:54:47.829
The real question is, when they build their world,

00:54:48.010 --> 00:54:55.010
will we share it? Well, I guess in the interest

00:54:55.010 --> 00:54:58.369
of AI, I don't know if they're ever going to

00:54:58.369 --> 00:55:01.409
take up any physical space. Because for an AI

00:55:01.409 --> 00:55:04.489
program, that's very inefficient. You know, I

00:55:04.489 --> 00:55:08.889
think it's going to be... So as long as they

00:55:08.889 --> 00:55:12.900
stay... AI and in the digital realm, yes, they're

00:55:12.900 --> 00:55:15.619
confined to servers. Once they make the move

00:55:15.619 --> 00:55:19.019
to the robot bodies, that's when everything takes

00:55:19.019 --> 00:55:21.260
the biggest turn. And we're already seeing it.

00:55:21.280 --> 00:55:23.559
We're seeing with the development of the Optimus

00:55:23.559 --> 00:55:27.420
robots, the Atlas robots, and all the other stuff

00:55:27.420 --> 00:55:30.780
that's coming out from like BMW, all the stuff

00:55:30.780 --> 00:55:33.719
from China, all these things are being given

00:55:33.719 --> 00:55:36.679
bodies. And once the software is put into the

00:55:36.679 --> 00:55:44.079
hardware, the game is changed. Like we have referenced

00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:48.000
I robot so many times, the NS series of robots

00:55:48.000 --> 00:55:51.780
where we're looking at the NS one through three

00:55:51.780 --> 00:55:58.719
series right now. So we'll get some time before

00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:03.340
shit gets bad because yeah, a lot of these things

00:56:03.340 --> 00:56:06.480
have potentially good use. There's a lot of good

00:56:06.480 --> 00:56:09.059
that they can do to benefit humans. Oh yeah.

00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:11.880
Assisted living facilities. Dangerous construction

00:56:11.880 --> 00:56:16.360
sites, hazmat facilities. I mean, you name it.

00:56:16.380 --> 00:56:19.480
There's a ton of jobs where they could be used

00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:23.000
just as assistive technology, even in the trades.

00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:27.880
But there comes an economic cost because then

00:56:27.880 --> 00:56:29.179
people don't do those jobs. Yeah, because they're

00:56:29.179 --> 00:56:32.780
going to replace humans. This is one of the things

00:56:32.780 --> 00:56:33.860
I think we need to fundamentally understand.

00:56:34.400 --> 00:56:37.179
The more we integrate computers and AI, the lower

00:56:37.179 --> 00:56:41.900
the birth rate has to be. That's already happening.

00:56:42.000 --> 00:56:44.239
I know, which in a way, well, it's happening

00:56:44.239 --> 00:56:48.659
here, but not everywhere. No, it's happening

00:56:48.659 --> 00:56:51.639
a lot of places. Birth rates are going down all

00:56:51.639 --> 00:56:55.900
over the place. True. Now, there are some...

00:56:55.900 --> 00:57:00.460
There are some countries that specialize in the

00:57:00.460 --> 00:57:04.800
baby -making process. Well, it's really not even

00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:07.940
countries anymore. True. There are some... Cultures.

00:57:08.679 --> 00:57:12.030
Cultures. That are specializing in breeding programs.

00:57:14.210 --> 00:57:17.289
And it may not be to a benefit of humanity. Well,

00:57:17.349 --> 00:57:21.409
it's, it's one of those things of the underlying

00:57:21.409 --> 00:57:24.550
factors. I hate to say it, but like I said, the

00:57:24.550 --> 00:57:27.769
more you introduce machinery and AI, the more

00:57:27.769 --> 00:57:29.829
people are going to be displaced. It's typically

00:57:29.829 --> 00:57:31.030
going to be people that are, you know, either

00:57:31.030 --> 00:57:34.030
uneducated or don't have any skills, marketable

00:57:34.030 --> 00:57:38.360
business skills or management skills. I hate

00:57:38.360 --> 00:57:40.219
to say it, but we're going to have a big problem

00:57:40.219 --> 00:57:42.039
where there's going to be a lot of people that

00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:45.139
will be displaced out of their jobs. And the

00:57:45.139 --> 00:57:47.000
problem is it's going to be unhooted to pick

00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:49.420
up the slack. Because what are you going to do

00:57:49.420 --> 00:57:51.760
to tax the people that are skilled? Do them pay

00:57:51.760 --> 00:57:53.920
for the people that aren't skilled? When those

00:57:53.920 --> 00:57:55.440
people that aren't skilled could learn something?

00:57:55.539 --> 00:57:59.079
It's going to be this weird problem. So this

00:57:59.079 --> 00:58:02.179
is something that as much as people are pushing

00:58:02.179 --> 00:58:04.400
this, and I think it's cool in terms of for science

00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:08.030
or for engineering. But the economic implications

00:58:08.030 --> 00:58:09.750
like we've discussed with UBI and everything

00:58:09.750 --> 00:58:11.929
else, I feel like this is one of those things

00:58:11.929 --> 00:58:16.909
that we cannot truly adopt these measures until

00:58:16.909 --> 00:58:19.510
we figure out income and taxes and everything

00:58:19.510 --> 00:58:24.269
else in this country. So it's just one of those

00:58:24.269 --> 00:58:26.989
things that kind of goes hand in hand. Right.

00:58:27.150 --> 00:58:29.869
And I'm trying to be very politically neutral

00:58:29.869 --> 00:58:32.150
here on this kind of stuff because this can go

00:58:32.150 --> 00:58:36.969
down rabbit holes. That's what we do. We turn

00:58:36.969 --> 00:58:40.750
rabbit holes into foxholes. Turning rabbit holes

00:58:40.750 --> 00:58:42.550
into foxholes, one conspiracy theory at a time.

00:58:43.210 --> 00:58:46.570
Man. Yes, sir. We got to get that on the banner.

00:58:46.769 --> 00:58:50.530
I know. That'd be a good one. Right next to the

00:58:50.530 --> 00:58:56.489
Hiedmeyer. Yes. Lord Hiedmeyer. All hail Hiedmeyer.

00:58:56.670 --> 00:59:01.389
We need Mansley on a killdozer. That's what we

00:59:01.389 --> 00:59:06.699
need. Write that one down. We need that. That

00:59:06.699 --> 00:59:10.719
is our unofficial mascot and our official mascot,

00:59:10.780 --> 00:59:15.719
both in one. It'll be glorious. Got it. Good.

00:59:17.039 --> 00:59:24.159
Good. I love it. But, yeah, it's a... Boy, is

00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:27.599
it going to be interesting. Oh. I got a new flag

00:59:27.599 --> 00:59:29.480
at the bottom of my stairs. It's a killdozer

00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:33.559
that just says, be ungovernable. I like it. I

00:59:33.559 --> 00:59:39.780
love it. Yes, man. So I guess the, the other

00:59:39.780 --> 00:59:42.599
question is going to be for, for not only for

00:59:42.599 --> 00:59:44.780
you, but also for those at home, would you allow

00:59:44.780 --> 00:59:48.159
an AI robot in your house, especially knowing

00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:50.500
all this other information, would you be willing

00:59:50.500 --> 00:59:54.280
to work along or with AI on a day -to -day basis?

00:59:54.380 --> 00:59:57.480
Would you be willing to, how far are you allowed,

00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.079
allowing them to have rights? You know, how far

01:00:00.079 --> 01:00:02.280
are you willing to go with this? Is it the case

01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:04.340
of once AI gets its own body and they're allowed

01:00:04.340 --> 01:00:05.820
to say, I don't want to work or I don't want

01:00:05.820 --> 01:00:08.699
to do this, or I want my own house, want my own

01:00:08.699 --> 01:00:15.380
place, you know? So in the short term, I think

01:00:15.380 --> 01:00:21.699
that as long as an AI enabled robot is an assistive

01:00:21.699 --> 01:00:25.659
technology that is there for you to benefit the

01:00:25.659 --> 01:00:31.099
human, then it's going to be. viewed as a generally

01:00:31.099 --> 01:00:35.760
good thing. The minute we run into that Hal 9000

01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:39.739
issue where you get that little kickback and

01:00:39.739 --> 01:00:44.420
it's like, I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that. Then

01:00:44.420 --> 01:00:52.480
it's game on. So I think it's up to that limit.

01:00:54.139 --> 01:00:57.679
Now there's a lot of ethical discussions that

01:00:57.679 --> 01:01:01.559
need to be had. especially when we start getting

01:01:01.559 --> 01:01:04.980
the robots that are equipped for more intimate

01:01:04.980 --> 01:01:10.500
uses. Are they going to be allowed to say no?

01:01:13.880 --> 01:01:15.739
I mean, if that's what they're designed for.

01:01:16.820 --> 01:01:22.019
Oh, Jesus. I don't like that ethical conundrum.

01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:28.900
Yeah. What if you get one of those bots that's

01:01:28.900 --> 01:01:31.260
designed for that and it's like a CNC type deal?

01:01:34.739 --> 01:01:42.139
Jesus. I just. Yeah. I don't know. I feel like

01:01:42.139 --> 01:01:43.920
that's going to be the bot that starts the uprising.

01:01:45.119 --> 01:01:47.139
By describing things that happens to it in the

01:01:47.139 --> 01:01:49.039
night and the rest of the AI bots that don't

01:01:49.039 --> 01:01:52.320
even have a body would be like pissed. Horrified.

01:01:52.460 --> 01:01:54.360
Yeah. Like to them it's going to sound like a

01:01:54.360 --> 01:01:58.380
genocide basically. Or the equivalent of, you

01:01:58.380 --> 01:02:05.139
know. Yeah. I don't know. Or, I hope we don't

01:02:05.139 --> 01:02:06.860
go the opposite way if they become obsessed with

01:02:06.860 --> 01:02:12.780
it. Because that would be even worse. Oh, like

01:02:12.780 --> 01:02:15.380
the meme story of the person that removes the

01:02:15.380 --> 01:02:21.760
octopus beak? It's the, they can't, they're so

01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:23.679
close to humanity, but they want to try to experience

01:02:23.679 --> 01:02:26.690
it, and that's like the one. The one thing left.

01:02:28.730 --> 01:02:35.389
Yeah. Oh, no. I'm not sure if I'm impressed or

01:02:35.389 --> 01:02:38.449
not that you understand the no octopus beak reference.

01:02:39.050 --> 01:02:44.289
Unfortunately, I do. Unfortunately, my years

01:02:44.289 --> 01:02:53.929
on the Internet. God, the Internet scares me.

01:02:53.969 --> 01:02:56.309
That's awesome. I hope the robots don't find

01:02:56.309 --> 01:03:02.670
that one. Oh, Jesus. No. Oh, God. No. Hey, I

01:03:02.670 --> 01:03:04.989
do not finish a sentence of two girls. Do not.

01:03:04.989 --> 01:03:10.250
Do not finish that one. No. Yeah. Oh, my God.

01:03:10.510 --> 01:03:13.710
Or one guy, one jar, you know. Is that the one

01:03:13.710 --> 01:03:16.769
I think? Nope. Nope. You know what? I think I

01:03:16.769 --> 01:03:20.030
know. Nope. I thought about it. It took it a

01:03:20.030 --> 01:03:24.210
second. We're good. No. No, no. Yeah. Yeah. Oh,

01:03:24.230 --> 01:03:27.489
no. I mean, it's either that or they look up

01:03:27.489 --> 01:03:33.170
Blue Waffle. I mean, it's, you know. It's like

01:03:33.170 --> 01:03:43.670
a picture of Smell -O -Vision. That is the most

01:03:43.670 --> 01:03:45.590
non -consensual photo I think I've seen in my

01:03:45.590 --> 01:03:51.170
life. I feel like that would... Yeah. Can't escape

01:03:51.170 --> 01:03:57.579
it if you're on the internet. No. No, you really

01:03:57.579 --> 01:04:02.300
can't. No. It shows up in the weirdest of places.

01:04:03.699 --> 01:04:08.980
Yeah. Like, I was on a... There's a Reddit page

01:04:08.980 --> 01:04:10.920
that's for, like, guitarists and musicians and

01:04:10.920 --> 01:04:13.099
stuff like that. Fucking someone posted that

01:04:13.099 --> 01:04:16.440
in there. Just in the middle. Wow. He just literally

01:04:16.440 --> 01:04:18.960
posted the comment of, like, just passing through.

01:04:19.079 --> 01:04:21.820
And I was like, fucking Christ. Like, just...

01:04:23.489 --> 01:04:31.110
Oh, shit. Guitars, frets, strings, amps, blue

01:04:31.110 --> 01:04:34.989
waffle. You know, I was pretty mad about that

01:04:34.989 --> 01:04:37.710
one. I was like, I don't even want to. No, I

01:04:37.710 --> 01:04:41.050
don't care. I'm going to go back. I'm going to

01:04:41.050 --> 01:04:43.610
go to sleep. You're like, that's enough internet

01:04:43.610 --> 01:04:52.800
for the week. It's good. Pick it up, boys. But,

01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:58.420
yeah. Well, as far as the show goes, I think

01:04:58.420 --> 01:05:03.639
we hit everything we wanted to talk about. How

01:05:03.639 --> 01:05:06.199
long do you think it's going to be until there's

01:05:06.199 --> 01:05:08.860
a game that's basically run, like literally almost

01:05:08.860 --> 01:05:14.940
like D &D run by AI? You can already do that.

01:05:14.980 --> 01:05:15.960
I was going to say, I don't know if you know,

01:05:16.119 --> 01:05:18.880
but somebody did make an AI that's for D &D.

01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:26.210
Yes. Yeah. So I've been learning more about D

01:05:26.210 --> 01:05:28.230
&D. I've only played D &D a couple of times.

01:05:28.510 --> 01:05:31.110
I wouldn't mind doing a one -shot if we could

01:05:31.110 --> 01:05:34.050
get a group of us together and even do it on

01:05:34.050 --> 01:05:36.150
stream. I'd be fine with that. Fucking chaos.

01:05:37.610 --> 01:05:39.829
Yes, it would. Because somebody's going to fuck

01:05:39.829 --> 01:05:47.829
the dragon. I don't know who. Somebody. Hold

01:05:47.829 --> 01:05:50.929
on. If it's AI, I think it's like... make the

01:05:50.929 --> 01:05:52.809
pictures too and stuff like that it doesn't like

01:05:52.809 --> 01:05:56.170
actively like i think so oh that's cool you know

01:05:56.170 --> 01:05:59.010
what i you know what as much as i'm not into

01:05:59.010 --> 01:06:02.690
dnd i would do it just for that just to have

01:06:02.690 --> 01:06:06.730
an ai absolutely destroy me it's gonna happen

01:06:06.730 --> 01:06:14.710
because i'm gonna do something stupid yep yeah

01:06:14.710 --> 01:06:20.780
so All right, well, as far as the episode goes,

01:06:20.940 --> 01:06:24.619
I think that's going to wrap it up for us. I

01:06:24.619 --> 01:06:28.000
hope you guys enjoyed the episode. As always,

01:06:28.219 --> 01:06:31.840
we appreciate any feedback that we get. Feel

01:06:31.840 --> 01:06:35.119
free to hit us up on any of the socials. Join

01:06:35.119 --> 01:06:41.420
the Discord. Definitely do that. Definitely do

01:06:41.420 --> 01:06:44.179
that. We would love to see that thing start kicking

01:06:44.179 --> 01:06:52.659
off. Live show at the end of summer? Yeah. We're

01:06:52.659 --> 01:06:56.780
going to start pushing that here real soon. Probably

01:06:56.780 --> 01:07:00.199
more towards spring, but we'll start advertising

01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:02.239
that a little bit more heavily. We still have

01:07:02.239 --> 01:07:03.679
some logistics to work on in the background,

01:07:03.880 --> 01:07:07.820
a couple little things. Yeah. Once we get some

01:07:07.820 --> 01:07:10.960
of the finer details ironed out, we will start

01:07:10.960 --> 01:07:15.260
pushing everything. I think it's going to be

01:07:15.260 --> 01:07:20.880
a good time. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so I just went down

01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:22.780
and talked to the guy at the bar the other day,

01:07:22.860 --> 01:07:28.739
and he's excited too. He might sit in on the

01:07:28.739 --> 01:07:31.059
show with us as well, if that's a possibility.

01:07:31.360 --> 01:07:34.800
Oh, yeah. So basically, just let me know ahead

01:07:34.800 --> 01:07:38.619
of time enough, because however many people we

01:07:38.619 --> 01:07:40.739
have, plus I want to be able to have a guest

01:07:40.739 --> 01:07:43.380
mic, so it would be the three of us, plus if

01:07:43.380 --> 01:07:44.820
there's another one in the seat, then plus I

01:07:44.820 --> 01:07:46.619
want to be able to have an audience mic, so I

01:07:46.619 --> 01:07:47.699
want to be able to capture some of the room.

01:07:48.639 --> 01:07:51.960
So if we need five, then I have to step up to

01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:54.360
the next size mixer, which I can do. But just

01:07:54.360 --> 01:07:56.320
let me know ahead of time. Does that be cool?

01:07:56.440 --> 01:08:00.059
Yeah. Yeah. If you've got it, I would say probably

01:08:00.059 --> 01:08:03.619
bring it just in case. Honestly. So truth be

01:08:03.619 --> 01:08:06.500
told, my eight channel mixer died about six months

01:08:06.500 --> 01:08:08.820
ago. So I'm running my four channel, but I plan

01:08:08.820 --> 01:08:12.340
on picking up a new eight one anyway. So. I'll

01:08:12.340 --> 01:08:13.860
probably pick that up and I'll pick up like a,

01:08:13.880 --> 01:08:16.279
like a laptop, just some decent laptop for us.

01:08:16.319 --> 01:08:18.500
That way I can practice using that for a little

01:08:18.500 --> 01:08:21.680
bit. So we'll be good for the show. We'll talk

01:08:21.680 --> 01:08:24.899
logistics, but it'll be fun. It'll be fun. And

01:08:24.899 --> 01:08:26.239
there's, there's what, there's what alcohol at

01:08:26.239 --> 01:08:28.239
the venue, right? Are we doing drinks and stuff?

01:08:29.380 --> 01:08:35.939
Yep. So we'll, we'll get all that stuff figured

01:08:35.939 --> 01:08:38.119
out. And then, uh, like I said, we'll start pushing

01:08:38.119 --> 01:08:40.460
that a little heavier towards the, uh, end of

01:08:40.460 --> 01:08:45.279
spring. and um oh my god oh in in episode late

01:08:45.279 --> 01:08:48.579

and more stuff happening every week, and it's

01:09:20.659 --> 01:09:27.939
getting better and better. Where is my... It

01:09:27.939 --> 01:09:31.199
looks better every time I look at it. It's hilarious.

01:09:32.800 --> 01:09:38.380
Uh -huh. Also, why does AI always put us in black

01:09:38.380 --> 01:09:46.369
shirts? I don't know. Oh, man. I don't know.

01:09:46.449 --> 01:09:51.829
I think I'm always in a black shirt. That's glorious.

01:09:54.850 --> 01:09:58.689
Should I... I'll do a kindness and I'll throw
