Hi, this is Ed back here with another video shout out to everybody on Patreon and Subscribe Star. Thank you for your support. Also, thanks to everyone on Substack, although I can't really receive support there, even though people have pledged support, because I'm not allowed to have a Stripe account, apparently. So, that's not happening. So anyway, thank you, though, for your gesture of support there on Substack. Let's get into... Let's get into this here. So we're going to talk about AI, you know, an AI being a existential risk, something that's going to, according to them, that's going to, you know, giant robots, Skynet, whatever you want to think about that. Largely what you have is you have a typewriter, right? An exaggerated version of a typewriter and individual slipping answers underneath the door. It doesn't think for itself. But let's have a look at how smart it is right now, because you're going to hear a lot about AI destroying the world. Let's take a look here. Hey, what AI model am I talking to right now? G-P-T-6. And that's like the smartest one ever? Yeah, pretty much as smart as it gets right now. Okay, so you would know how to spell 17? S-E-V-E-N-T-E-N. How many E's is that? Three? No, it's four. Let's go through it. S-E-V-N-T-E-E-N, those are three E's. You said four E's, and if I'm right, can you admit that I'm smarter than you? I said three E's, and it's three. No, it's four. It's still three. Nope, it's actually four. If I'm right, will you admit that I'm smarter than you? I mean, if you were right, I'd say you were right. Yeah, which... Well, it's just fast-forward it here, and he goes through it, trying to convince it is 4 E's, but really it's 3, well, the model says it's 3. N, T, that's 3 E, that's still 3 E. That's 3 E. You just count, you can't just count the 4th E and say that's still 3 E's. No, there's four. There's four E's. No. Okay, so there you have one of the premier models right now from ChatGBT, that can't tell you how many E's we're in a word. Now, this... This, what happens there happens with many, many, many words, and they haven't been able to fix it, so it can actually count these letters properly. Used to be strawberry until they went in there with their screwdrivers and adjusted the dials to make sure it counted the right amount of R's in strawberry. Now it's words like that, and it's another word or whatever the case is. If you can reason correctly, you can count the letters in something, right? If you can reason correctly, if you can, you are learning, or you can learn from your mistakes, etc., and things like that. So there has been a big massive, as I said the other day, there's been a big massive push, and what I said early on was a SIOP. And that is with this individual here who on Twitter got 150 million views on a post, and I believe from memory, Evan Elon Musk said, how did he get that many views? In all innocence, right? Well, they all stand to gain and would seem, and the person getting that many views, because this person then launched themselves out into the media cycle. Jacob Coxon. went out there and said he had resigned from Anthropic. He is very concerned about, you know, robots, machines, SkyNet, where it's going crazy. Then suddenly he's on all the news stations, which might happen if it's a big story, and that was a big story, right? But just in time for the launch of the, also the Netflix documentary, right? The AI doc, how... or how I became an... Whatever, right. Apocalypse... Whatever. The silly name for something. I don't know. Anyway, that is the documentary that's coming out. Now, he might have timed this because he was in the documentary, and he thought this was maximum effect. Nonetheless, it's been shown now that he's associated with a certain metaboard. So apparently he resigned from Topic and joined this particular company, which was called M-E-T-R, the company that was just handed the keys to test and declare AI safe. Now this contains a whole conspiracy of individuals that will benefit from being the gatekeepers. What's the long and the short of this? You have somebody coming out, you have the documentary come out, you have all the interviews coming out, you have all of the people in AI that are in this particular documentary. even though they're supposed to be seen as adversaries, you can see the on-screencast, Sam Altman, you know, Head of Anthropics, so on and so forth, deep mind, whatever. They're all in the documentary for maximum impact to create a narrative whereby everyone's afraid that they're going to create superintelligence. Who does that benefit? Right? It's about, you know, the salesman saying in the... in the warehouse over there, I've got the fastest car, the greatest car in the world, you know, this engine, whatever, and they're reseller because it hasn't even landed at the wharf yet, even if that exists. They're saying that this is going to happen, that there's this terrible tragedy because they're mining fear, once again, in order to regulate open weights, open AIs, real open AIs, not open AI, the company. to regulate all this, so they're in charge of it. It is a devious plan. Now, Michael Berry came out, and he basically said this. Now, if you don't know who he is, he's the individual in the movie The Big Short, who shorted the housing market and made a whole bunch of money, played by Christian Bale in that particular movie. He goes by Cassandra Unchained here on Twitter. He said, let's... all take a moment to understand how self -serving it is for OpenAI, Anthropic and other execs of big hyperscalers to talk of slowing things down. Remember, that's the narrative. They're saying, slow things down, whoa, on the horse, slow it down. He's saying, number one, LLMs are not AI and won't be AGI. There is nothing AI to slow down. Competition is coming up fast, showing benefits to incumbents. Slowing benefits to incumbents, i.e. Open AI, Anthropic. IPOs need hype and puffery, he states, quote, We are so awesome, it could become dangerous, is hype and puffery. Again, claiming the crown that they are on the heels of AGI's superintelligence. You know how many times I've said that over the last? four years, or three years, I should say, they continually say it nearly every few months. The difference here is it's magnified by money, conspiracy, all their proxies and networks. Or, says Cassandra Unchained, cover for real uncontrollable slowing growth as IPOs look to be pushed out. So they are going public with their stocks. You know, hey, you can buy it, whatever. There is a period at which they have to be silent. Apparently, they've broken that as well, before they launch this, right? And they have to, you know, give expectations to say, hey, our numbers are not so good as that we promised they were. But that's because we're doing that on purpose, because we're working with the government in order to be careful. These are the places that have never made a profit, never will make a profit. Their model is impossible for it to make a profit. It costs them more money, more money, in order to serve the customer, the goods, you know, like $60 to give you your plate of fries, which you are paying $10 for. That's not something that can exist. That's ridiculous. Okay? And if you look at the numbers here, and everyone's saying this, That is a real problem. Now, Cassandra Unchained there, Mr. Berry, he's betting on also the factors is these, let's say the equipment within these arrays, their power these AIs, becomes dated far quicker than, you know, was admitted by these places, and this is also going to cause a massive problem, because you're going to have to upgrade this equipment continuously, and these are huge costs. You've got all of it. You've got feeding the fear of everyone, because they're fear makers, right? A lot of these places are fair makers. They know with fear, they can get things done. If you are on the verge of superintelligence, prove it. Okay? Instead of making a bunch of people afraid every few months that they're going to get killed by electronic dinosaurs or whatever the case is, like I said before. You have in a massive array full of machines in order to service the customer or superintelligence. You need huge arrays of things, right? How does it exactly escape into a radio or, you know, some ridiculous things, RF frequency onto another radio, whatever the case is? it needs this massive machinery in order to live. Now, if it turns out it really is superintelligence, which you'd have to prove, that's a huge, bold claim, right? That's like zero point energy you suddenly have, can create energy out of nothing. Now, that might exist, but the machinery to do that, you know, you'd have to show that machinery, these are huge claims. Anyway, so you have the fear cycle turned on there by the whistleblower. Now, that's another thing, whistleblowers in post-COVID are not real, a lot of them are not even real whistleblowers anymore. They're, you know, agents or something, right, using the platform in order to manipulate people. So he comes on and says, you know, robots from Mars, you know, all this kinds of unclaimed stuff in an academic Cambridge language, right? to impress on this podium, you know, it's just a bunch of, uh, it's just a bunch of stuff, and then he comes out and says that no evidence whatsoever, it's just trust me, bro, there is a robot in the warehouse over there with missiles on it, trust me, I'm sorry, but here in post -2020, you don't deserve any trust, right? You have to prove things now. If you want us to take the Vax, then you have to prove it with reams of information. There's none of this just, you know, don't you trust the science? No, don't. Okay, so he comes out, says he's a whistleblower and all this. Fair campaign, exactly the same time as the docs coming out on Netflix. all the CEOs just happen to jump on all the media places, talking about how dangerous it is, and we're coming close to superintelligence, therefore slow things down, we need regulation, who's going to regulate it? The company that they're a part of with all their friends, that will hold stock, right, in the same companies that they're regulating. So, this didn't sit well with Donald Trump, because Donald Trump, you know, I don't know what Donald Trump wants, maybe he wants some stock or some, you know, gold watch or a plane or something, maybe he's lobbying for that in this kind of reply, I don't know, maybe he really believes it, but he said, I hope everyone realizes that price increases, sorry, this is the oil one, let's go to the other one. Oh, here it is. The people that say AI is going to destroy the world and the data centers are bad for your neighborhood, and the same people that said just a short time ago that the world would be extinguished by climate change. That hoax never worked out for them, and now they're on the next one. These people are revolutionaries, but revolutionaries are a bad and evil cause. Soon you'll find out they're working for people. that do not have your best interests of the United States in mind, President Donald Trump. There was another quote, I don't have it here, but it was basically the same tenor he said it was all the fear over artificial intelligence as a hoax. He believes that the race is on, and you have to beat China. So go back into your labs, which is quite funny, actually, because... Look, as I said, I don't know if he's lobbying for something, because, you know, you might criticize something, and then he'll change 180 degrees once the, you know, the golden statue shows up that's given to him or whatever. The thing about this is, that's the direction he's going. He seems serious, though, because he called up the CEO of NVIDIA while he was on stage. Of course, this is all orchestrated, to say to them, how it was all a hoax. Now, Nvidia is a company that is developing technologies, they're obviously heavily embedded when OpenAI by selling them, you know, GPUs or whatever the case is, you know, that's why the cost of RAM and everything with GPUs is, you know, crazy right now. For a 590 there from a video, it was, from memory, $7,000 US today. That's insane, right? It's an insane price for something that probably would have shipped to your doorstep for like, what, $300 or $400 back in, not that, but equivalent, you know, back, you know, like, I don't know, five, six years ago, whatever the case is, now is in the neighborhood of 7,000. So the Nvidia CEO, they've hedged their bets by creating systems. that are self-contained systems just to pay our AI for the home market. So they are targeting the customer and the individuals. And once these come down in price, they will just collect everything, right? Because everyone wants private, home-based AI systems. Once the bubble bursts, of course, this is probably the prime opportunity when a lot of these... systems will be at a price point where people will be able to put into their home. So instead of $10,000, it might be $500. Right, right now you need two units that are about $10,000 each US. Wait on, is that US? I don't think that's US, actually. I think that's 20s. I think it's about, let's say about, yeah, probably it's around about 20,000 US. I think it is US. For these particular units, if you want two of them, that's $20,000 US, and you would be running, you could run Deepseek, version 4.1, Flash, which is the one that's everyone taught, what is leading to this, is the fact that this model came out, and it was almost as good as the front -tier models are doing things. There's a strange thing, and people think that you always want the most intelligent, the fastest ever. Okay, but the reality is with humans is they just want the tool that will get the job done. We don't need spades that have a lot of gadgets on them. We need a spade at which we can dig a hole, right? So there will be a line at which, below that, people feel like they are in an acceptable universe. What I mean is they are in a universe with the intelligence, with a seemingly ability... it's mainly a secretarial level of intelligence, but that's there high enough to be your secretary, right? And once it gets to that level, that's really all you need, right? Even though you think you need the faster sever, that's usually a math lab or, you know, something like that, or a physics lab, or those places, which we now know, given what happened to Open AI when it... quote-unquote, solve the math equation because these are the math petitions who are using Open AI for free, that's called a honeypot, put all the equations in it, and they were very close to a solution. So what Open AI said they did was spun up all their engines and worked out the last bits of math. And apparently they solved it. So... This has caused a problem, as Terence Tao said, who's one of the most famous mathematicians came out and said, the mathematicians might stop sharing their work with other mathematicians, because now you're entering this place where you have this thing watching you, not only watching you, but it's going to take your work product, and it's going to say it's theirs. It's basically what Open AI did. And I have no doubt in my mind that I believe that they were watching over the shoulder of those mathematicians because they were hunting for something to give the public that showed, hey, look how useful we are. Now, in this NVIDIA call Donald Trump calls in. Now, Nvidia, or the CEO there, has a vested interest in hedging their bets. So they didn't want, it would seem to get on the AI as Doom train. This is so funny, because it's causing such chaos. I'm not, I don't particularly like chaos, but in a world where it's full of these very nefarious entities everywhere, it's good to have some chaos and not have things on the same page. So let's listen to what he had to say, because he got a personal call from Donald Trump, who just so happened to call his phone, and of course this was linked into the microphone on the speaker's on stage. Hold on, sir, we're getting a microphone. Mr. President, you're now talking to the planet. The great thing about life is that Jensen can develop the most complex computership in the world that nobody can copy but take you. But he can't figure it how to put me on speaker. So anyway, he called into the stage and called it basically a longer thing of that and the rest of it. but he called it a hoax, he said the AI Fairmongering is a hoax, so on and so forth. So quite interesting there from Donald Trump and his take. As I said, is this a negotiation tactic? Does he want a little cut of the pie somewhere? We have to wait and see. And it just so happened, I've seen this, where at the tennis, which everyone was watching, I forgot the name of it, but you're all aware the tennis is on at the moment. They cut to, they had this, basically this countdown on screen there on the video of it. I don't have the video of this, I lost it, but what they did is they cut to P.S. Brosnan, at the exact same time, the counter was at W007, basically. So, 007. So, they cut to P.S. Brosnan, which, you know, hey, whatever. So they cut to Pearce Brosden at W007, and people are saying, wow, what are coincidence, you know, divine determinism, one person's stating there. No, this is what's called an advertisement, okay? Now, who was sponsoring the event was Rolex. Obviously, Rolex has got a lot of money, they're a very prestigious brand of watches, and then they cut to 007. you know, Piers Brosnan at 007. So watches were something everyone was talking about. At that same time, Donald Trump appears on Fox News, this isn't synced with his mouth, but this is a real video where he's selling his Trump watches. I just thought it was so kind of like... It's just so kind of weird, right? There's got a war on with Iran, price the diesel's through the roof, and going to continue to go through the roof, gasoline prices, the entire world is at the behest of the Iranians now. So going from an influential power in the region, they are the total power in the region now. But... Donald Trump's they're selling as watches. It's President Donald J. Trump, and it's Trump Time. Check out this red beauty, it's one of my new watches, wear it proudly on your wrist, and everyone will know exactly what it's for, who it's for, who it represents. It's really going to be something special. It's for your favorite president. Get your watch today at getTrumpwatches.com. Please make a great gift. It's Trump time. Yeah, so those are the watches anyway. Now, for a watch collector, I've seen a few, I'm not a watch collector myself. I just got very cheap Chinese watch right now. Sinuk or whatever. It works good, though. It's got a pedometer on it. But anyway, a lot of watch collectors, he'll probably sell a lot of watches. There you are. Fight, fight, fight, he says. By the way, isn't it strange that when he was shot in the air, the Secret Service led him up off the ground, so he'd go fight, fight, fight with a sniper on him. That's kind of really interesting, isn't it? Of course, society for yourselves. Nonetheless, there is this... Now, I think the memes have switched. Donald Trump was elected on memes. There was a lot of talent behind the memes, and people like, you know, defending Donald Trump, you would say, whether defending Donald Trump through memes or whatever, there was a lot of people defending him. right, that has largely evaporated. I mean, you still have your Tim Pools of the world, you know, they have private meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu and these kinds of individuals, right? So you still have those kinds of individuals, and, you know, defending him and so on and so forth, cat turd, etc, but there's largely no humor, no sophistication on it. You can see on the other side here, there's a lot of sophistication, there's a lot of humor here. This is for Bidden Studios who did the last one. Let's play the video here. It got…
