00:00.430 --> 00:09.250
Welcome back to real Liberty Media. Liberty Tunes. I'm Uncle Bonad. It's good to be back.

00:10.410 --> 00:21.150
Took a last week off. I was a little busy with the day job. Life goes on. But today, oh, today we are jam-packed.

00:22.830 --> 00:31.590
I've got something I want to talk about. The ideology over integrity going on in the open source world.

00:34.810 --> 00:39.530
Let's see here. I've got a bunch of news songs that I want to play.

00:42.730 --> 00:53.570
And, wow, we've got, later on, after the news in the second hour, top of the hour, we're going to do a behind-the-beats

00:54.290 --> 01:02.570
of Chrom Khrushchevich's new album called Pinnits in the Main Frame. And I've got a bunch of covers that I did.

01:03.110 --> 01:06.030
So, let's get this show on the road.

01:44.620 --> 01:51.180
What do people actually think they're achieving? Anybody can look. It's called the energy dashboard.

01:51.340 --> 01:58.300
You can get it up on your computer anytime and see on a normal day in this country where the power which is lighting your home

01:58.300 --> 02:02.140
and your place of work and everything else you see where it's coming from.

02:02.740 --> 02:08.920
And on a day when the wind isn't blowing, it's largely coming from gas or it's coming from imported power

02:08.920 --> 02:11.860
which quite often comes from the Netherlands where they still burn coal.

02:11.860 --> 02:16.240
We don't burn coal anymore because we didn't just close down our coal-fired power stations.

02:16.560 --> 02:19.820
We blew them up. We were so certain we were right to do so.

02:20.220 --> 02:29.160
At the same time, China is, even as we speak, building the equivalent of two, I think, two new coal-fired power stations a week.

02:29.660 --> 02:37.580
India has a vast expansion programme of coal-fired power stations, even if George is right about his tremendous predictions of apocalypse.

02:37.580 --> 02:44.740
Even if he's right, the contribution which this country is making by what it's doing to these outcomes is not merely minimal.

02:45.360 --> 02:53.700
It's non-existent. Everything that we do is completely blotted out by what much larger countries are doing to maintain their own power.

02:53.920 --> 02:59.540
Now, if you want to live in a country with net zero, if you want to live in a country where nobody can afford to heat their house

02:59.540 --> 03:05.520
where people have incredibly expensive and largely non-functioning heat pumps inflicted on them,

03:05.520 --> 03:10.120
if you want that kind of thing to happen, if you want lots of people to lose their jobs because there's no energy,

03:10.520 --> 03:16.280
if you want to be cold all the time, if you want the computers which make life possible in practically every form of life

03:16.280 --> 03:26.280
to shut down every so often, then carry on believing that the demand to go for net zero to keep it in the ground is intelligent and thoughtful.

04:05.680 --> 04:13.700
Locked all the doors, gotta free the G-Maians or V-12s, mad black, they say save the turtles, I bought a turtle shell print hat, blew the whole crew to Dubai,

04:13.820 --> 04:49.060
just a text in the Paris for a snack, windows clear, check the ledger, I'm paid for the war, burn that jet fuel, I can always buy a tree in some country I'll never see,

04:49.340 --> 04:56.420
that's generation to wealth, guarantee, my new pool is Olympic heated all year round, caution daily salary, just to keep it from cooling down,

04:56.700 --> 05:01.200
got that waggle beef flowing daily from Japan, it's sustainable because I'm sustaining my plan.

05:01.200 --> 05:03.560
Please, please conserve water.

05:03.700 --> 05:04.620
Make it every year.

06:16.000 --> 06:19.240
My children are fine, they're on the other yacht.

06:19.280 --> 06:22.180
The one that's getting offset next week, yeah.

07:06.000 --> 07:12.360
Saviour.ai, brand spanking new, carbon offset my yacht.

07:14.860 --> 07:25.460
I had that wrote and was originally going to stick it on the Golden PT album EP, whatever you want to call it.

07:25.460 --> 07:30.060
Do we have albums anymore that just called EPs, extended plays?

07:30.740 --> 07:31.340
I don't know.

07:31.680 --> 07:37.940
Anyways, yeah, so let's get into the next one.

07:45.750 --> 07:49.210
Today we're cutting straight to the hype circle or hype cycle.

07:49.450 --> 07:54.550
Sorry to talk about one of the most fundamental concepts in our digital lives.

07:55.250 --> 07:55.910
Trust.

07:56.910 --> 08:07.430
The quiet absolute faith you are forced to place in the foundational code that runs your laptop, your server, and your phone.

08:08.250 --> 08:19.330
We're discussing and apparently your refrigerator and your microwave and your dryer and your dishwasher, everything's getting a damn operating system.

08:19.330 --> 08:32.050
Anyway, we're discussing the programming language Rust and the troubling velocity with which it is being integrated into the core infrastructure of Linux distributions.

08:32.750 --> 08:41.730
Just about everything on the internet runs on Linux, just about all of the devices in your home run on Linux.

08:43.850 --> 08:55.870
From an engineering perspective, I'll grant you, I'm not an engineer and I'm not a computer programmer, but I have done a lot of reading.

08:57.610 --> 08:59.270
Rust is fascinating.

09:00.170 --> 09:03.210
It's a compelling answer to decades of sea vulnerabilities.

09:03.990 --> 09:09.570
It's got memory safety, data race prevention, all all accident features.

09:10.650 --> 09:16.350
These solve real demonstrable problems that lead to costly security patches.

09:18.210 --> 09:23.750
But the question we must ask ourselves is not whether the language is technically superior.

09:24.390 --> 09:37.610
It is whether the Italy ideological commitment of the movement behind it presents an ex ex substantial risk that outweighs any technical gain.

09:38.470 --> 09:45.110
The question is, can we trust the tool chain and the activists that are wielding it?

09:45.930 --> 09:56.230
The empirical evidence when assessed with a healthy dose of technical skepticism suggests we may be facing a serious structural deficit in trust.

09:58.310 --> 10:02.450
The traditional assurance of open source software has always been simple.

10:02.450 --> 10:08.010
The source is public, therefore flaws and backdoors are easily spotted by many eyes.

10:08.990 --> 10:10.590
This assumption is now obsolete.

10:11.690 --> 10:14.730
The vulnerability is no longer a bug in the code.

10:15.350 --> 10:19.450
It's an intent in the developer's mind, masked by political maneuvering.

10:20.230 --> 10:27.450
When you have individuals who maintain critical libraries, dependencies that feed into essential system utilities,

10:28.450 --> 10:40.890
publicly and repeatedly engaging in rhetoric that advocates for tangible real world harm against those they politically oppose, we have an ethical crisis.

10:41.670 --> 10:48.570
The goal of any legitimate dissent, political or otherwise, must be zero casualty approach.

10:49.370 --> 10:54.590
Doxing interfering with an opponent's security or compromising their data.

10:54.590 --> 10:58.590
These actions can lead to real physical or financial harm.

10:59.190 --> 11:12.470
In my opinion, the minute any activist movement, even one I might agree with, crosses that line.

11:13.430 --> 11:19.090
They forfeit the mantle of integrity required to write fundamental system software.

11:19.770 --> 11:24.590
They are using their technical power as a form of the ideological enforcement.

11:25.230 --> 11:30.450
They are declaring a low intensity of digital war on users who hold different views.

11:31.290 --> 11:35.230
And in that environment, we must apply maximum scrutiny.

11:36.410 --> 11:44.650
We must now treat open source projects, not just as code to be audited, but as organizations who people require vetting.

11:45.790 --> 11:54.770
The ideological problem is deeply concerning, but it's the technical architecture of Rust that transforms concern into paranoia.

11:55.410 --> 12:02.310
We must revisit Ken Thompson's seminal 1984 paper, Reflections on Trusting Trust.

12:03.150 --> 12:09.570
Thompson demonstrated a perfect undetectable security exploit achievable at the compiler level.

12:10.470 --> 12:11.890
Here's the chilling simplicity.

12:12.570 --> 12:20.090
A compiler, which compiles source code into executable binaries, is itself a piece of software.

12:20.830 --> 12:29.530
If you modify the compiler's binary, not the source, to include a self replicating backdoor, the attack is immortalized.

12:30.350 --> 12:34.490
The malicious compiler would be programmed to recognize two specific actions.

12:34.490 --> 12:42.470
One, when it had compiled the target program, it would secretly inject the backdoor logic.

12:43.330 --> 12:49.430
Two, crucially when it compiled its own source code to create a new version of the compiler,

12:50.130 --> 12:54.510
it would inject both the original backdoor and the self-replication logic.

12:55.470 --> 13:01.550
The net result, the malicious code, is never visible in the source repository.

13:02.550 --> 13:07.950
Auditors can review the source code for the compiler line by line, confirming it's clean,

13:08.550 --> 13:15.750
but the resulting binary compiled by the compromised predecessor will still carry the trojan logic.

13:16.490 --> 13:20.770
This is not theoretical. Thompson proved it could be done.

13:21.790 --> 13:28.530
And this is precisely the structural weakness inherent in a single bootstrapped compiler like Rust C.

13:28.530 --> 13:36.530
If a malicious politically motivated actor manages a single non-auditable insertion into the compiler binary,

13:37.310 --> 13:43.690
they compromise every single Rust application built thereafter, silently and indefinitely.

13:44.450 --> 13:53.470
The entire security model is predicted predicated on the absolute uncompromised integrity of one upstream source.

13:54.250 --> 14:00.270
This architectural choice has weaponized the human factor.

14:01.210 --> 14:10.750
The final piece of the puzzle is the bizarre urgency with which distributions like Ubuntu and Debian are forcing this transition.

14:11.510 --> 14:15.750
They are purposefully oxidizing their core systems,

14:15.750 --> 14:28.910
replacing 30-year-old robust GNU utilities like coreutils and sudo with early-stage Rust rewrites like uutils and sudo-rs.

14:29.710 --> 14:33.430
Let's apply technical rigor to the common rationales.

14:34.330 --> 14:35.290
1. Performance

14:35.290 --> 14:41.290
Early tests have shown mixed results sometimes lagging behind the optimized C versions.

14:41.290 --> 14:45.470
This is certainly not a clear compelling reason for a mass migration.

14:46.210 --> 14:48.310
2. Stability

14:48.310 --> 14:50.370
Absolutely not.

14:52.110 --> 14:59.010
These Rust components are often below version 1.0, have incomplete feature parity,

14:59.630 --> 15:03.130
and have already caused public breakage and distribution upgrade paths.

15:03.890 --> 15:08.290
You don't replace the foundation of your house with unproven materials.

15:09.530 --> 15:10.850
3. Security

15:10.850 --> 15:21.090
While Rust offers memory security and safety, the original GNU coreutils due to decades of continuous use and auditing

15:21.090 --> 15:25.730
have astonishingly few active unpatched security flaws.

15:26.230 --> 15:31.510
As one of the utility developers stated, the original team did an amazing job.

15:32.230 --> 15:35.050
They almost don't have any security issues.

15:36.350 --> 15:40.170
Makes you kind of wonder why they thought they should rewrite it.

15:40.570 --> 15:45.010
So we eliminate the logical engineering-based explanations.

15:45.510 --> 15:50.770
It's not faster, it's not more stable, and the security gain is marginal,

15:51.430 --> 15:55.950
if not offset entirely by the introduction of new functional bugs.

15:56.950 --> 16:00.050
What remains is the uncomfortable conclusion.

16:00.050 --> 16:05.730
The Rust to replace the core, stable components of the operating system

16:05.730 --> 16:12.150
with unstable incomplete alternatives is an act of ideological maneuvering.

16:12.910 --> 16:17.390
It creates an institutional dependency on the Rust toolchain and community,

16:18.130 --> 16:23.110
granting control and leverage to the political activists dominating that space.

16:23.870 --> 16:28.150
It is a digital restructuring masquerading as a technical upgrade.

16:30.730 --> 16:37.470
The simple truth is we no longer can afford to trust any single authority in our technological stack,

16:38.070 --> 16:39.730
be it corporate or communal.

16:40.530 --> 16:45.490
We are forced to conclude that if code can be executed, it can be compromised,

16:46.010 --> 16:53.350
and if the execution environment itself, the compiler, is susceptible to a perfect undetectable attack,

16:53.990 --> 16:56.930
we must treat the output with extreme prejudice.

16:56.930 --> 17:01.630
Our call to action must be simple and non-negotiable.

17:02.590 --> 17:06.630
We must demand a zero-trust model applied universally.

17:07.790 --> 17:09.850
Demand independent verification.

17:10.830 --> 17:14.730
The only technical fix for the Thompson Trojan is to demand and fund

17:14.730 --> 17:20.090
multiple completely independent compilers for critical languages like Rust.

17:20.090 --> 17:28.590
A non-Rust compiler, perhaps written in C, is required to compile Rust C's source code,

17:29.330 --> 17:34.230
allowing us to compare the resulting binary hash and confirm integrity.

17:35.070 --> 17:38.210
Anything less is faith, not engineering.

17:39.210 --> 17:40.850
Insist on meritocracy.

17:41.710 --> 17:46.250
We must actively support and promote software projects whose sole focus

17:46.250 --> 17:51.270
is technical excellence and integrity, divorced from political signaling

17:51.270 --> 17:53.250
and ideological gatekeeping.

17:54.170 --> 17:55.370
Protect the innocent.

17:56.870 --> 18:02.030
Our community's focus must return to the protection of the user, all users,

18:02.890 --> 18:07.550
from digital harm, absolutely no casualties whatsoever.

18:09.030 --> 18:14.510
Stay skeptical, scrutinize the lightensess, scrutinize the source,

18:14.510 --> 18:20.590
and now scrutinize the people, because the tool chain knows a secret

18:20.590 --> 18:23.850
that the source code will never tell you.

18:35.800 --> 18:40.900
I got a song to go with that back in January of this year.

18:41.720 --> 18:45.860
I released a bi-rebel album called Cogging the Machine,

18:47.240 --> 18:52.700
and it had this song on it, and it's about Rust.

18:55.020 --> 18:58.180
I've been talking about this for a while, and following it for a while.

18:58.860 --> 19:02.680
The problem with Rust is there's only one compiler.

19:03.800 --> 19:07.480
On C, you've got many different compilers, the C language.

19:08.380 --> 19:13.960
In other languages, there are many different compilers to compile the software

19:13.960 --> 19:15.620
that is written into that language.

19:16.160 --> 19:18.400
But on Rust, there's only one.

19:22.700 --> 19:25.820
We're the Silicon Towers, where the circuits hung with power.

19:26.120 --> 19:29.820
I see the strings that bind our fate to a digital world.

19:30.000 --> 20:21.340
We can escape digital chains, track our moves,

20:31.900 --> 20:37.800
insert a back, e-stroke a hack.

20:38.040 --> 20:41.820
A digital roar will dismantle what they swore to protect the control

20:41.820 --> 20:45.380
to keep us down, but in this world, we wear the crown.

20:45.860 --> 20:49.460
So here's my crime, my anthem, my call against the oppression.

20:49.460 --> 22:07.950
Here's my cry, my anthem, my call against the oppression.

22:08.150 --> 22:12.310
We'll stand tall in the heart of the code.

22:12.450 --> 22:17.570
We'll find our might and fight for what's right.

24:11.040 --> 24:14.820
U.S. blocks NVIDIA is totally not for A.I. China chips.

24:15.560 --> 24:20.060
The White House just told NVIDIA they can't sell their B-30A8,

24:20.060 --> 24:24.960
B-30A, there we go, chips to China.

24:25.760 --> 24:29.960
You know, the ones NVIDIA definitely didn't design to skirt export controls.

24:30.740 --> 24:34.080
Meanwhile, Beijing is telling everyone to buy domestic chips anyways.

24:34.960 --> 24:38.520
The U.S.-China chip war just went nuclear.

24:39.020 --> 24:43.780
NVIDIA is losing billions while China speedruns its own GPU industry

24:43.780 --> 24:45.220
out of pure spite.

24:47.040 --> 24:52.220
Open A.I. says we don't need to bail out just $1.4 trillion.

24:53.320 --> 24:57.720
Sam Altman clarified Open A.I. doesn't want government money

24:57.720 --> 25:03.660
after their CFO accidentally suggested a federal backstop.

25:04.140 --> 25:07.020
They're making $20 billion annually,

25:07.440 --> 25:12.220
but somehow they need $1.4 trillion for chips and datum centers

25:12.220 --> 25:13.540
over 8 years.

25:14.380 --> 25:16.720
That's more than the GDP of Spain.

25:17.860 --> 25:21.360
We're watching a company speedrun becoming too big to fail

25:21.360 --> 25:23.920
while insisting they're totally fine, bro.

25:25.340 --> 25:27.700
Elon wants to build a tariff ad.

25:28.100 --> 25:29.480
Yes, he made that word up.

25:30.220 --> 25:33.620
Musk announced Tesla needs its own massive chip factory

25:33.620 --> 25:35.060
to achieve self-driving.

25:35.960 --> 25:37.920
He's even willing to work with Intel.

25:38.740 --> 25:41.340
Which is like asking your unemployed cousin

25:41.340 --> 25:42.640
to help build a rocket.

25:43.620 --> 25:45.880
Tesla's going full vertical integration.

25:46.580 --> 25:48.340
If this works, they'll control everything

25:48.340 --> 25:50.080
from silicon to steering wheels.

25:51.060 --> 25:53.600
If it doesn't, well...

25:53.600 --> 25:54.760
there's X.

25:56.180 --> 25:59.280
China just invented Transformers 2.0.

25:59.820 --> 26:00.260
Maybe.

26:01.320 --> 26:04.540
Moonshot A.I. dropped Kimi Linear,

26:05.000 --> 26:06.920
claiming it's six times faster

26:06.920 --> 26:10.120
and uses 75% less memory than Transformers.

26:10.120 --> 26:14.140
They basically rebuilt the entire A.I. engine from scratch

26:14.140 --> 26:16.560
because export controls said

26:16.560 --> 26:19.940
they couldn't have the good GPUs.

26:20.660 --> 26:22.980
If true, this changes everything.

26:23.180 --> 26:25.460
China might have just solved the A.I. costs

26:25.460 --> 26:27.980
more than a small country's GDP problem

26:27.980 --> 26:29.720
out of pure necessity.

26:31.220 --> 26:32.520
Google's comeback story.

26:33.440 --> 26:35.020
We have the GPUs.

26:35.840 --> 26:39.480
After getting dunked on post-chat GBT,

26:40.480 --> 26:43.580
Google Cloud backed by weaponizing Google Cloud.

26:44.080 --> 26:46.080
They're now selling TPUs to everyone,

26:46.640 --> 26:47.780
including their rivals,

26:48.080 --> 26:50.660
because money is greater than pride.

26:51.280 --> 26:54.120
Turns out owning the infrastructure matters more

26:54.120 --> 26:55.820
than having the smartest chatbot.

26:56.420 --> 26:58.720
Google's playing landlord while everyone else

26:58.720 --> 27:00.440
fights over who's winning.

27:01.700 --> 27:03.440
DeepSeek researchers says,

27:03.900 --> 27:04.920
we're all screwed.

27:05.640 --> 27:08.920
A senior researcher from China's hottest A.I. startup

27:09.940 --> 27:12.740
went on stage and said A.I.

27:12.780 --> 27:13.880
will cause, quote,

27:14.260 --> 27:16.720
massive job losses in five to ten years.

27:18.560 --> 27:20.620
He views its impact negatively

27:21.340 --> 27:23.820
at his own company's event.

27:24.560 --> 27:27.560
When the people building A.G.I. are pessimistic

27:27.560 --> 27:30.420
about A.G.I.,

27:30.420 --> 27:32.040
maybe we should listen.

27:32.940 --> 27:36.280
Or not. Stock market certainly isn't.

27:36.940 --> 27:39.280
Robotics gets $20 billion

27:39.280 --> 27:41.360
and delivers nothing.

27:42.320 --> 27:45.440
VCs dump $20 billion into robotics

27:45.440 --> 27:47.860
in 2024. Returns?

27:48.380 --> 27:51.760
Basically zero. The only profitable robots

27:51.760 --> 27:53.880
are still doing surgery and moving boxes,

27:53.880 --> 27:56.120
not backflipping for YouTube.

27:57.060 --> 27:58.580
The human-eyed robot bubble

27:58.580 --> 28:00.680
makes crypto look conservative.

28:01.720 --> 28:04.000
At least NFTs ship somewhere

28:04.560 --> 28:06.580
something before imploding.

28:09.840 --> 28:12.660
Point taken. Amazon to perplexity.

28:13.000 --> 28:14.040
Get off my line.

28:14.940 --> 28:17.880
Amazon sent a cease and desist to perplexity

28:17.880 --> 28:21.320
for letting its A.I. shop on Amazon.com.

28:21.320 --> 28:24.040
Perplexity called them bullies for

28:24.040 --> 28:28.180
checks notes not wanting bots

28:28.180 --> 28:29.460
on their website.

28:30.860 --> 28:33.300
The A.I. agent revolution dies

28:33.300 --> 28:35.920
if websites can't just say no robots allowed.

28:38.060 --> 28:40.360
Wait, let me rephrase that.

28:40.780 --> 28:42.780
The A.I. agent revolution dies

28:42.780 --> 28:46.100
if websites can just say no robots allowed.

28:46.500 --> 28:48.440
Turns out the future needs permission

28:48.440 --> 28:49.900
from Jeff Bezos first.

28:54.800 --> 28:56.320
Sora Android launch.

28:56.740 --> 28:59.460
470,000 downloads of Future Slop.

29:00.220 --> 29:01.940
Open A.I.'s video app.

29:02.140 --> 29:05.520
Sora got 470,000 Android downloads

29:05.520 --> 29:09.120
on day one. Four times bigger than iOS.

29:09.840 --> 29:11.660
People really want to generate videos

29:11.660 --> 29:13.480
of Will Smith eating spaghetti, apparently.

29:14.260 --> 29:16.740
Consumer appetite for A.I. tools is insane.

29:17.640 --> 29:19.640
We're speedrunning toward a world

29:19.640 --> 29:22.740
of where nobody knows if any video

29:22.740 --> 29:23.800
is real anymore.

29:25.260 --> 29:28.200
Meta launches vibes in Europe. It's all fake.

29:29.200 --> 29:31.920
Meta is rolling out its A.I. only video feed

29:31.920 --> 29:33.680
vibes to Europe

29:33.680 --> 29:36.320
despite Americans calling it A.I. Slop.

29:37.180 --> 29:39.600
It's tech talk, but every video is generated

29:39.600 --> 29:41.520
by machines. Speak 2025.

29:42.460 --> 29:45.300
Meta's betting the future of social media

29:45.300 --> 29:47.440
is watching computers entertain each other.

29:47.920 --> 29:50.300
We're three steps from the dead internet theory

29:50.300 --> 29:51.520
becoming a business model.

29:53.340 --> 29:56.820
Amazon's A.I. translator. Now everyone can write bad books.

29:58.160 --> 29:59.420
Kindle Translates

30:00.460 --> 30:02.520
uses A.I. to translate

30:03.560 --> 30:06.260
I mean, God, I can't read today.

30:06.540 --> 30:09.400
Kindle Translate uses A.I. to translate

30:09.400 --> 30:11.800
ebooks between English and Spanish for free.

30:12.680 --> 30:13.080
Quality?

30:15.300 --> 30:18.880
Global publishing just got democratized

30:18.880 --> 30:21.500
or flooded with barely readable

30:21.500 --> 30:25.120
A.I. translations. Probably both.

30:26.100 --> 30:27.500
Someone's finally testing

30:27.500 --> 30:30.180
if A.I. is actually smart. The loud

30:30.180 --> 30:32.860
industry is funding projects to create better

30:32.860 --> 30:36.080
A.I. benchmarks because current ones are basically

30:36.080 --> 30:37.920
getting a passive rig test.

30:38.640 --> 30:41.400
We're spending trillions on A.I. but measuring its IQ

30:41.400 --> 30:43.600
with the equivalent of a bus speed quiz.

30:44.540 --> 30:46.020
About time someone fixed that.

30:47.540 --> 30:50.420
This startup wants A.I. to hear you over Karen's

30:50.420 --> 30:52.920
latte order. Subtle computing

30:52.920 --> 30:55.760
is building A.I. that can isolate

30:55.760 --> 30:58.220
your voice in a noisy cafe.

30:59.240 --> 31:01.760
Finally, Siri might understand you without screaming

31:01.760 --> 31:03.600
hey Siri, 47 times.

31:04.760 --> 31:07.640
Voice A.I. is useless if it only

31:07.640 --> 31:10.520
works in an anechoic

31:11.120 --> 31:13.560
chamber. This could make

31:13.560 --> 31:16.140
talking to computers less embarrassing in public.

31:19.200 --> 31:21.540
You know, I hear about the

31:21.540 --> 31:24.700
A.I. slop. Yeah, it's just A.I. slop.

31:25.020 --> 31:25.820
It's just A.I. slop.

31:28.200 --> 31:30.740
The A.I. slop is when you just

31:30.740 --> 31:33.000
let the computer or let the A.I.

31:34.560 --> 31:36.040
do all the creativity.

31:37.260 --> 31:39.340
There's no creativity in it.

31:40.640 --> 31:42.720
But if you direct it

31:42.720 --> 31:45.480
to do and say things

31:45.480 --> 31:47.360
and create things,

31:48.780 --> 31:51.560
you've got a hand in it. And you could

31:51.560 --> 31:53.000
tell the difference between

31:54.540 --> 31:56.680
somebody that just typed a prompt in

31:56.680 --> 31:59.060
and lets the A.I. do its thing

31:59.680 --> 32:01.400
and one that actually has a

32:02.000 --> 32:04.120
conversation with the A.I.

32:07.340 --> 32:08.940
to fine-tune it

32:08.940 --> 32:11.840
or whatever. You can definitely

32:12.840 --> 32:13.800
tell the difference.

32:15.040 --> 32:16.160
Let's do some more news.

32:17.220 --> 32:20.080
Lawmakers want proof of I.D. before you talk to A.I.

32:22.600 --> 32:24.300
A plan to keep A.I.

32:24.300 --> 32:26.720
chatbots away from kids might quietly make

32:27.300 --> 32:29.720
anonymity online a thing of the past.

32:30.320 --> 32:32.780
Are you sensing a

32:33.300 --> 32:34.540
pattern here?

32:35.640 --> 32:38.680
They keep forcing this online

32:39.300 --> 32:40.460
I.D. verification.

32:41.860 --> 32:44.260
Their whole plan is to

32:45.300 --> 32:48.340
shut you up. And they're using the kids

32:48.340 --> 32:50.020
for an excuse.

32:50.020 --> 32:52.460
They don't give a shit about the kids.

32:53.080 --> 32:53.960
You know why?

32:54.840 --> 32:57.280
Because there's still nobody arrested

32:58.300 --> 33:00.120
off of the Epstein list.

33:02.080 --> 33:04.520
They tried to say there was no

33:04.520 --> 33:06.940
Epstein list. First they said

33:06.940 --> 33:09.820
oh there's an Epstein list. Then they said there's no Epstein list.

33:13.060 --> 33:14.120
Then there you

33:14.120 --> 33:16.700
then what's her name?

33:16.700 --> 33:19.720
Gis Lane. Gis Lane.

33:20.080 --> 33:20.680
Whatever her name is.

33:21.560 --> 33:22.040
Yeah.

33:26.600 --> 33:27.380
Yeah she

33:28.300 --> 33:29.320
gave a list.

33:30.200 --> 33:32.600
But they still haven't arrested anybody on that list.

33:34.380 --> 33:37.440
Back to the story. It was only a matter of time before someone

33:37.440 --> 33:39.920
in Congress decided that to cure for the Internet's ills

33:39.920 --> 33:42.120
was to make everyone show their papers.

33:42.120 --> 33:44.900
The guidelines for user age verification

33:44.900 --> 33:47.720
and responsible dialogue act of 2025

33:47.720 --> 33:51.040
or Guard Act has arrived to do

33:51.040 --> 33:54.040
just that. Introduced by Senators Josh Holley

33:54.040 --> 33:57.080
and Richard Blumenthal, the bill promises to protect kids

33:57.080 --> 33:59.960
from AI chatbots that allegedly whisper bad ideas

33:59.960 --> 34:03.060
into young years. The idea

34:03.060 --> 34:05.200
forced every chatbot developer in the country

34:05.960 --> 34:08.620
to check users' ages with verified identification.

34:10.000 --> 34:11.800
The Senators call it

34:11.800 --> 34:14.960
reasonable age verification. That means scanning

34:14.960 --> 34:17.800
your driver's license or passport before you can talk

34:17.800 --> 34:20.560
to a digital assistant. Keeping in mind that

34:20.560 --> 34:23.540
AI is being ratted to pretty much everything these days

34:23.540 --> 34:26.500
the implications of this could be far

34:26.500 --> 34:29.140
reaching. Senator Josh Holley says

34:29.140 --> 34:32.380
AI chatbots pose a serious threat to our kids

34:32.380 --> 34:35.260
while Blumenthal argued that tech firms can't be

34:35.260 --> 34:37.340
relied on to regulate themselves.

34:39.220 --> 34:41.420
For lawmakers who spent the last

34:41.420 --> 34:43.680
decade warning about data collection, the plan

34:43.680 --> 34:46.160
to create a universal ID gateway for speeches

34:46.160 --> 34:49.640
is an impressive pivot. The Guard Act answers

34:49.640 --> 34:53.020
that call by placing chatbot

34:53.020 --> 34:56.180
providers under a new regime of continuous

34:56.180 --> 34:58.860
verification. Companies would have

34:58.860 --> 35:01.980
to lock existing accounts until years

35:01.980 --> 35:04.560
of submit proof of age. They could outsource

35:04.560 --> 35:07.760
ID checks to third-party firms, but the liability

35:07.760 --> 35:10.620
remains theirs. Compliance would be

35:10.620 --> 35:13.480
enforced by the U.S. Attorney General through

35:13.480 --> 35:15.740
subpoenas, fines, and civil actions.

35:16.700 --> 35:19.140
For a bill that insists on minimal data collection, it

35:19.140 --> 35:22.520
manages to authorize a lot of new data

35:22.520 --> 35:25.300
collection. Civil liberties and tech policy

35:25.300 --> 35:29.120
groups read the text and saw something else

35:29.120 --> 35:32.220
entirely, a massive infrastructure linking real-world

35:32.220 --> 35:34.080
identities to online

35:34.080 --> 35:37.240
speech. That choice called the proposal

35:37.240 --> 35:40.240
heavy-handed, pointing to recent identity leaks

35:40.240 --> 35:43.160
as proof that these systems fail where it matters

35:43.160 --> 35:45.460
most, keeping personal data secure.

35:46.340 --> 35:49.340
K. G. Bakchi of the Chamber of

35:49.340 --> 35:52.400
Progress added, we all want to keep kids safe,

35:52.600 --> 35:54.720
but the answer is balance, not bans.

35:55.760 --> 35:58.480
That balance may be hard to find once an

35:58.480 --> 36:00.420
identity becomes a luxury.

36:01.260 --> 36:03.420
Under the Guard Act, self-declared birthdays

36:03.420 --> 36:06.480
no longer count. If implemented broadly,

36:06.620 --> 36:09.280
it would set a precedent that any interactive

36:09.280 --> 36:12.040
AI system must verify identity through

36:12.040 --> 36:15.240
government-approved documentation. That covers

36:15.240 --> 36:18.120
a lot of ground, AI chatbots, social media,

36:18.300 --> 36:20.240
automated customer service, and even virtual

36:20.240 --> 36:23.340
tutors. Ordinary users to result would

36:23.340 --> 36:26.040
be a world where every online interaction

36:26.040 --> 36:28.900
leaves a verified fingerprint. Once

36:28.900 --> 36:31.920
IDs are tied to speech, privacy becomes

36:31.920 --> 36:35.780
theoretical. Every search, comment, or

36:35.780 --> 36:37.660
message could be matched to a name,

36:37.940 --> 36:40.500
creating an archive of personal expression

36:40.980 --> 36:43.820
indexed by government-approved databases.

36:45.300 --> 36:47.140
Let me read this

36:47.140 --> 36:47.980
to you again.

36:50.960 --> 36:53.100
So you catch this.

36:56.340 --> 36:58.440
Under the Guard Act,

36:58.920 --> 37:01.300
self-declared birthdays no longer

37:01.300 --> 37:04.800
count. If implemented broadly,

37:05.380 --> 37:07.960
it would set a precedent that any

37:07.960 --> 37:10.080
interactive AI system

37:10.080 --> 37:12.580
must verify identity through

37:12.900 --> 37:15.080
government-approved documentation.

37:16.520 --> 37:19.300
Now take a look at what

37:19.300 --> 37:22.360
Windows, Microsoft is doing with Windows

37:22.360 --> 37:24.900
and what Apple is doing with Mac.

37:26.300 --> 37:28.120
They are integrating

37:28.120 --> 37:31.100
AI into the core

37:31.100 --> 37:32.440
operating system.

37:33.960 --> 37:35.980
So under the Guard Act,

37:37.120 --> 37:39.840
you will need to provide

37:40.360 --> 37:42.080
photo ID

37:43.280 --> 37:46.220
and verify through

37:46.220 --> 37:49.240
a government-approved documentation

37:49.240 --> 37:52.690
to use your computer

37:53.200 --> 37:54.080
at home

37:55.520 --> 37:58.220
which means your computer will have to be

37:58.220 --> 38:01.020
online 24-7.

38:05.220 --> 38:08.820
Zip, zero, nada, none,

38:09.540 --> 38:10.600
no privacy,

38:12.420 --> 38:13.480
nothing.

38:14.580 --> 38:15.880
Big brothers here

38:19.520 --> 38:20.520
aren't you just

38:20.520 --> 38:21.660
so glad?

38:55.080 --> 38:56.820
Alright, so

38:58.640 --> 38:59.780
I don't know if you know

38:59.780 --> 39:03.280
if you've listened to my show for a long time,

39:03.920 --> 39:05.980
you know King Code. He's been on the show

39:05.980 --> 39:08.900
three or four times over the years.

39:09.480 --> 39:10.940
His daughter is Surf Girl

39:11.550 --> 39:14.540
on Burt Media and Hive

39:14.540 --> 39:17.280
and she's also on

39:17.280 --> 39:20.080
Suno. She does do some music.

39:20.460 --> 39:21.260
She writes some songs.

39:22.260 --> 39:24.540
And I ran across this song of hers

39:24.540 --> 39:27.660
a couple of weeks ago I think

39:27.660 --> 39:29.960
and it's called Loud.

39:31.780 --> 39:33.360
Capital letters, Loud.

39:36.460 --> 39:37.900
And it's

39:39.200 --> 39:41.500
not, it's a

39:42.560 --> 39:43.500
punk song

39:44.420 --> 39:46.400
and it just kind of blew me away because

39:47.840 --> 39:50.200
she's, what, 13, 14 years old?

39:50.320 --> 39:53.340
Maybe 15 now? I don't remember. It's been a while.

39:54.000 --> 39:55.880
I've known them for a while but

39:56.400 --> 39:59.320
she's in teens and this song

39:59.320 --> 40:02.100
is cool and I'm looking at the lyrics

40:02.100 --> 40:05.360
and listening to it as I'm reading

40:05.360 --> 40:08.500
the lyrics and I'm like, dude, this sounds like

40:08.500 --> 40:09.360
a Bite Rebel song.

40:10.700 --> 40:13.300
So I'm going to play for you her original song

40:14.040 --> 40:16.000
and then after that I'm going to play

40:16.740 --> 40:19.820
Bite Rebel's version of it. Dude, it's

40:20.560 --> 40:21.640
it's badass.

40:23.060 --> 40:24.780
Her song is just badass

40:26.140 --> 40:29.260
but yeah, I've listened to this

40:29.260 --> 40:29.540
like

40:31.380 --> 40:34.540
I went to the office twice

40:35.500 --> 40:37.500
since I downloaded this

40:37.500 --> 40:40.400
and I've listened to it on repeat

40:40.400 --> 40:42.920
because I got a two hour drive just to the

40:43.490 --> 40:45.180
office, the two hour back

40:45.180 --> 40:48.920
and I listened to it on repeat for half of that.

40:50.460 --> 40:52.040
This song is cool.

40:52.580 --> 43:50.840
It's called Loud. I thought that was pretty

43:51.380 --> 43:53.060
damn cool and it's

43:54.360 --> 43:56.480
when I threw it in

43:56.480 --> 43:58.540
for Bite Rebel

43:59.280 --> 44:00.280
I had it

44:01.860 --> 44:05.080
that changed the genre of it, you know, made it a little more

44:06.640 --> 44:07.240
heavy

44:09.840 --> 44:11.320
gave it more

44:11.320 --> 44:14.300
of a rap type thing, a little less punky

44:14.300 --> 44:16.600
a little more new metal and

44:18.660 --> 44:20.740
yeah, this was

44:20.740 --> 44:22.160
cool. This was cool.

47:10.880 --> 48:16.410
A Monday, Elon Musk

48:16.410 --> 48:18.170
XAI startup launched

48:18.170 --> 48:21.250
Grockopedia, which the billionaire is pitching

48:21.250 --> 48:23.370
as an AI generated alternative to the

48:23.370 --> 48:26.170
ground sourced encyclopedia Wikipedia.

48:27.110 --> 48:29.410
Musk first announced the project in late

48:29.410 --> 48:32.110
September on a social media platform X

48:32.470 --> 48:35.730
saying it would be a massive improvement over Wikipedia

48:35.730 --> 48:39.030
and a necessary step towards the XAI goal

48:39.030 --> 48:40.490
of understanding the universe.

48:41.550 --> 48:44.690
Musk said last week that he had delayed the launch of

48:44.690 --> 48:47.070
Grockopedia, yeah, Grockopedia

48:47.840 --> 48:50.570
because his team needed to do more work

48:50.570 --> 48:52.350
to purge out the propaganda.

48:53.150 --> 48:56.750
When Grockopedia eventually dropped on Monday, Wired

48:56.750 --> 48:59.770
was initially unable to access the website

48:59.770 --> 49:02.950
and received an automated message that it was blocked.

49:04.350 --> 49:05.790
When we finally got

49:05.790 --> 49:08.630
access to it, Wired found that the online

49:08.630 --> 49:11.650
encyclopedia contained lengthy entries generated by

49:11.650 --> 49:13.830
AI. Duh.

49:14.850 --> 49:16.630
It's called Grockopedia for a reason.

49:17.690 --> 49:20.530
Anyways, while many of the pages Wired

49:20.530 --> 49:22.950
saw on launch day

49:23.570 --> 49:26.490
appeared fairly similar to Wikipedia in terms of

49:26.490 --> 49:28.970
tone and content. A number of notable

49:28.970 --> 49:32.010
Grockopedia entries denounced the mainstream media

49:32.010 --> 49:35.250
highlighted conservative viewpoints and sometimes

49:35.250 --> 49:38.190
perpetuated historical inaccuracies.

49:39.170 --> 49:41.430
The Grockopedia, you know, just like

49:41.430 --> 49:43.450
normal Wikipedia. Anyways,

49:45.630 --> 49:46.930
I'm sorry.

49:48.050 --> 49:50.550
I'm sorry. The Grockopedia entry

49:50.550 --> 49:53.170
about the slavery of African Americans

49:53.170 --> 49:55.890
in the U.S. includes a section outlining numerous

49:55.890 --> 49:59.770
ideological justifications made for slavery

49:59.770 --> 50:02.930
including the shift from necessary evil to positive

50:02.930 --> 50:05.810
good. The end of the entry focuses on

50:05.810 --> 50:08.270
criticisms of the 1619 project,

50:08.790 --> 50:11.690
which it says incorrectly framed slavery as a

50:11.690 --> 50:14.030
central engine of the nation's political, economic,

50:14.530 --> 50:16.230
and cultural development.

50:17.810 --> 50:20.730
Entries for more

50:20.730 --> 50:23.610
recent historical events put a conservative perspective

50:23.610 --> 50:26.910
at the center. When Wired searched

50:26.910 --> 50:29.830
for gay marriage in Grockopedia, no entry

50:29.830 --> 50:33.350
popped up, but one of the on-screen suggestions

50:33.350 --> 50:34.990
was for gay pornography.

50:35.830 --> 50:39.110
Instead, this entry in Grockopedia falsely states

50:39.110 --> 50:41.910
that the proliferation of porn exasperated

50:42.970 --> 50:44.650
exacerbated the HIV

50:44.650 --> 50:48.190
AIDS epidemic in the 1980s.

50:50.030 --> 50:50.750
Anyways,

50:52.690 --> 50:53.270
this market

50:53.270 --> 50:56.190
marked the onset of what would become a

50:56.190 --> 50:58.270
devastating crisis disproportionately

50:59.190 --> 51:01.730
affecting gay male communities, where

51:02.230 --> 51:04.770
behaviors idealized in pornography, such as

51:04.770 --> 51:07.910
unprotected, receptive anal intercourse, and multiple

51:07.910 --> 51:11.050
anonymous partners aligned directly with

51:11.050 --> 51:13.950
primary transmission routes, leading to rapid

51:15.430 --> 51:16.950
seroconversion rates,

51:17.750 --> 51:20.350
the Grockopedia entry claims. XAI

51:20.350 --> 51:22.790
did not immediately return a request for comment.

51:23.410 --> 51:26.430
The Grockopedia entry for transgender includes

51:26.430 --> 51:29.010
two mentions of transgenderism, a term

51:29.010 --> 51:32.650
commonly used to denigrate

51:32.650 --> 51:35.190
trans people. The entry also

51:35.190 --> 51:38.050
refers to trans women as biological males

51:38.050 --> 51:40.810
who have generated significant conflicts,

51:41.330 --> 51:44.410
primarily centered on risks to women's safety,

51:44.630 --> 51:47.270
privacy, and sex-up-based protections

51:47.270 --> 51:49.610
established to mitigate male

51:50.830 --> 51:52.510
perpetrated violence.

51:53.130 --> 51:56.030
The opening section highlights social media as a

51:56.030 --> 51:58.690
potential contagion that is

51:58.870 --> 52:00.570
increasing the number of trans people.

52:02.110 --> 52:04.770
Wired magazine's entry in Grockopedia

52:04.770 --> 52:07.250
mentions Musk's own criticism of the publication.

52:07.990 --> 52:10.770
High-profile detractors, including Elon Musk

52:10.770 --> 52:13.870
in February of 2025, have labeled Wired

52:13.870 --> 52:18.250
as devolving into far-left-wing propaganda,

52:18.710 --> 52:19.910
arguing it abandoned

52:19.910 --> 52:23.150
technology-focused reporting for ideological

52:23.150 --> 52:26.030
driven narratives that normalize heavy-handed

52:26.030 --> 52:28.570
oversight of private enterprise.

52:28.910 --> 52:32.010
The entry says, Grockopedia also claims Wired

52:32.010 --> 52:34.650
is an emblematic of the mainstream media

52:34.650 --> 52:36.530
systemic leftward lean.

52:40.010 --> 52:40.930
That's...

52:40.930 --> 52:43.550
He's not wrong, Wired.

52:44.270 --> 52:46.210
I got a message for you, Wired.

52:46.350 --> 52:49.050
I remember when you actually reported on technology.

52:51.050 --> 52:53.030
Anyways, the entry for U.S.

52:53.050 --> 52:55.990
President Donald Trump also includes a swipe at the media

52:55.990 --> 52:58.630
for its allegedly left-leaning bias

52:58.630 --> 53:01.730
and coverage of the outgoing federal government shutdown.

53:02.190 --> 53:04.690
It accuses CNN and the New York Times

53:04.690 --> 53:07.130
of amplifying shutdown narratives that attribute

53:07.130 --> 53:11.450
blame primarily to Republicans despite bipartisan failures.

53:12.050 --> 53:14.650
CNN and the New York Times did not immediately

53:14.650 --> 53:16.350
respond to requests for comment.

53:17.930 --> 53:20.370
The entries on Grockopedia

53:20.370 --> 53:23.250
definitely don't skip in terms of word count.

53:23.710 --> 53:26.050
The Grockopedia's entry for Elon Musk

53:26.050 --> 53:28.270
is just short of 11,000 words,

53:28.730 --> 53:30.830
has over 300 website references

53:30.830 --> 53:33.550
and includes sections like criticism of regulation

53:33.550 --> 53:36.370
and world culture, as well as advocacy

53:36.370 --> 53:40.670
for multi-planetary life and population growth.

53:41.350 --> 53:42.890
Musk's Wikipedia entry

53:42.890 --> 53:46.270
in comparison clocks in at under 8,000 words.

53:46.790 --> 53:48.890
Grockopedia has suggested search terms

53:48.890 --> 53:50.410
related to Elon Musk include

53:50.410 --> 53:52.830
Elon Musk dis...

53:54.910 --> 53:56.590
dismit bigification

53:57.470 --> 53:59.270
and Elon Musk's filmography.

53:59.270 --> 54:02.130
In comparison when searching Grockopedia

54:02.130 --> 54:04.390
for OpenAI CEO Sam Altman,

54:04.910 --> 54:07.970
the top suggested on Monday was removal of Sam Altman

54:07.970 --> 54:11.390
from OpenAI, referring to a brief incident in 2023

54:11.390 --> 54:13.850
when Altman was temporarily removed

54:13.850 --> 54:16.050
from OpenAI's board of directors

54:16.050 --> 54:18.210
before returning as CEO.

54:20.430 --> 54:22.770
Okay, this is written by Reese Rogers

54:22.770 --> 54:24.690
over on Wired.

54:24.690 --> 54:26.730
He's their service writer

54:27.240 --> 54:29.930
focused on explaining crucial topics

54:29.930 --> 54:32.690
in helping readers get the most out of their technology

54:33.690 --> 54:34.990
prior to Wired.

54:35.150 --> 54:38.910
Reese covered streaming as business insider.

54:39.610 --> 54:40.170
Okay.

54:41.550 --> 54:45.730
So let's go backwards here

54:45.730 --> 54:46.850
through the article.

54:47.650 --> 54:50.110
Reese, Grockopedia

54:50.110 --> 54:52.930
is named Grockopedia.

54:55.050 --> 54:56.890
You can assume

54:56.890 --> 55:00.910
that 100% of the articles on it

55:00.910 --> 55:03.210
are written by Grock

55:03.210 --> 55:04.730
and AI.

55:06.010 --> 55:07.370
Number one,

55:09.790 --> 55:11.250
whining about

55:11.250 --> 55:14.690
Elon Musk getting 11,000 words

55:14.690 --> 55:17.310
and over 300 website references

55:17.310 --> 55:19.370
on his article

55:20.130 --> 55:23.890
or entry at Grockopedia compared to 8,000 words

55:23.890 --> 55:25.470
on Wikipedia.

55:29.070 --> 55:32.110
The dude owns Grock

55:33.770 --> 55:35.170
so naturally

55:35.170 --> 55:37.930
he's going to instruct them

55:37.930 --> 55:40.410
and have people that work for him

55:40.410 --> 55:43.970
that want to make him look good.

55:44.850 --> 55:46.950
You make the boss look good

55:46.950 --> 55:49.390
you get paid better.

55:51.270 --> 55:52.990
Do you understand that?

55:53.230 --> 55:54.910
I'm sure you understand that, right?

55:57.510 --> 55:59.110
Let's go up here

55:59.110 --> 56:00.710
and I was talking about Trump

56:02.430 --> 56:04.630
including a swipe at the media

56:04.630 --> 56:07.390
for its allegedly left-leaning bias.

56:09.630 --> 56:11.210
If you're going to sit there

56:11.210 --> 56:12.710
and say that the media

56:12.710 --> 56:14.810
is not left-wing

56:16.170 --> 56:17.510
including yourself

56:19.910 --> 56:21.870
you have not watched

56:22.830 --> 56:26.090
or listened to any news media

56:26.090 --> 56:28.370
in the last 40 years.

56:31.730 --> 56:34.870
It is nearly all left-leaning.

56:35.650 --> 56:38.550
The only thing

56:38.550 --> 56:40.250
that's really different is Fox

56:40.250 --> 56:42.890
and that's kind of

56:42.890 --> 56:43.830
towards the right

56:43.830 --> 56:46.230
but it's still left-wing.

56:53.840 --> 56:57.340
The only reason we're whining right now

56:57.340 --> 57:00.220
you and all the others

57:00.220 --> 57:03.320
is because the

57:03.320 --> 57:06.180
ones that pretend to be on the opposite side

57:06.180 --> 57:07.700
are in charge right now

57:09.420 --> 57:11.060
and you guys

57:11.060 --> 57:13.320
both sides left and right

57:13.320 --> 57:14.400
you're both

57:15.220 --> 57:19.120
into the stupid gaslighting pretend world

57:19.980 --> 57:22.140
that you're different and you're not

57:23.060 --> 57:26.820
you both have the same fucking goals in mind.

57:28.600 --> 57:30.160
You just have a different

57:30.160 --> 57:31.560
path on getting there

57:32.040 --> 57:34.840
but your destination is

57:34.840 --> 57:36.220
the exact same place.

57:38.800 --> 57:39.920
So pretending

57:39.920 --> 57:43.080
that you're taking a different road to get there

57:43.080 --> 57:44.360
is better?

57:46.680 --> 57:49.080
No, no it's not.

57:54.520 --> 57:56.780
Let's go back up here, what was this other thing?

57:57.200 --> 57:59.480
Oh you're talking about the complaining

57:59.480 --> 58:03.280
oh yeah, wired is all about the technology

58:03.280 --> 58:05.760
that's why the first thing you do is start looking

58:06.280 --> 58:08.460
for articles on

58:08.460 --> 58:11.360
gay marriage and transgenderism

58:11.980 --> 58:15.240
and then complaining because it doesn't fit

58:15.240 --> 58:15.820
your

58:18.500 --> 58:20.600
quote-unquote reality

58:21.300 --> 58:24.360
of how things

58:24.360 --> 58:26.080
went down in the 80s.

58:27.360 --> 58:30.440
Yes, I lived through the 80s

58:32.540 --> 58:34.880
it had everything to do

58:34.880 --> 58:36.240
with the porn

58:37.800 --> 58:40.540
I remember it, I had friends

58:40.540 --> 58:42.040
that were gay

58:43.160 --> 58:45.680
I still consider him a friend

58:45.680 --> 58:48.580
even though we haven't spoke for 30 years

58:49.520 --> 58:52.060
but he's still around

58:52.060 --> 58:54.000
and he's still married to his husband

58:54.780 --> 58:57.440
and I know that he's

58:57.440 --> 58:59.960
he's awesome, he's a nice dude

58:59.960 --> 59:03.560
John if you're listening look me up

59:05.780 --> 59:07.220
the other

59:07.220 --> 59:10.040
he would tell you

59:11.040 --> 59:13.260
Mr, what was your name?

59:14.440 --> 59:14.620
Reese

59:16.080 --> 59:19.480
he would tell you you are wrong

59:20.460 --> 59:21.900
and Greucopedia

59:22.440 --> 59:24.320
is reporting it correctly

59:25.960 --> 59:26.600
um

59:29.580 --> 59:31.500
complaining that there was no mention

59:31.500 --> 59:33.520
of gay marriage in Greucopedia

59:35.340 --> 59:37.820
again, it's owned by Elon Musk

59:37.820 --> 59:40.600
and the articles are written by

59:40.600 --> 59:41.100
an AI

59:43.120 --> 59:45.600
it does what you tell it to do

59:47.860 --> 59:49.220
complaining that their

59:50.280 --> 59:52.040
conservative leaning or

59:52.040 --> 59:54.440
you know on that other side of the aisle of you

59:55.840 --> 59:58.200
when if you just go to Wikipedia

59:58.980 --> 01:00:00.420
Wikipedia is not

01:00:01.180 --> 01:00:02.680
an authority source

01:00:02.680 --> 01:00:06.960
when people can just make shit up and put it on her

01:00:06.960 --> 01:00:09.240
the only thing you're doing is bitching about it

01:00:09.240 --> 01:00:11.020
not being a human that's making it up

01:00:11.020 --> 01:00:15.540
you're bitching that it's an AI that's making it up

01:00:18.520 --> 01:00:19.660
when are you people

01:00:19.660 --> 01:00:20.820
going to understand

01:00:20.820 --> 01:00:25.840
it's on the internet it's not fucking real

01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:28.180
it never

01:00:28.180 --> 01:00:30.960
has been real

01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:34.880
to think that anything online is real

01:00:37.520 --> 01:00:40.540
you need to get out of your little

01:00:41.660 --> 01:00:42.360
fucking

01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:47.820
pretend world

01:00:47.820 --> 01:00:50.520
it isn't never never land

01:00:55.980 --> 01:00:59.280
and this is wired you're supposed to be

01:01:00.540 --> 01:01:01.780
technology driven

01:01:01.780 --> 01:01:03.420
talking about the tech

01:01:03.420 --> 01:01:05.980
instead of talking about how

01:01:06.820 --> 01:01:08.940
Greucopedia was put together and built

01:01:08.940 --> 01:01:11.180
the first thing out of the gate

01:01:13.100 --> 01:01:14.540
ideological justifications

01:01:14.540 --> 01:01:15.980
made for slavery

01:01:18.320 --> 01:01:19.740
you know what's funny

01:01:21.840 --> 01:01:23.260
anybody that actually

01:01:23.260 --> 01:01:26.100
reads a real history

01:01:26.100 --> 01:01:28.260
book that's printed on paper

01:01:28.260 --> 01:01:31.380
I'm not talking about in the last 20 or 30 years

01:01:31.380 --> 01:01:34.200
but something that was printed like you know

01:01:34.200 --> 01:01:37.360
before 1940 or so

01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:40.820
1950 maybe somewhere around there

01:01:40.820 --> 01:01:42.100
back then

01:01:42.100 --> 01:01:44.800
when you read the history books

01:01:45.640 --> 01:01:49.400
the founding fathers of this country tried to kill

01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:52.520
slavery from day one

01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:55.900
and they couldn't do it because they needed

01:01:55.900 --> 01:01:57.600
unity to break away from

01:01:58.580 --> 01:01:58.960
England

01:02:01.640 --> 01:02:03.060
so they needed the southern

01:02:05.120 --> 01:02:07.060
provinces they needed

01:02:08.400 --> 01:02:09.960
them to join up

01:02:10.860 --> 01:02:12.440
because their strength in numbers

01:02:14.480 --> 01:02:16.140
and to think that it was

01:02:17.600 --> 01:02:18.880
endorsed no

01:02:21.760 --> 01:02:24.880
yes some many of the founding fathers did have

01:02:24.880 --> 01:02:25.640
slaves

01:02:29.340 --> 01:02:30.980
but you know once they

01:02:30.980 --> 01:02:32.600
what happened to those slaves

01:02:34.900 --> 01:02:36.680
they retired very happily

01:02:36.680 --> 01:02:39.140
and they did not leave they didn't want to leave

01:02:39.140 --> 01:02:41.480
because they had very good lives

01:02:46.120 --> 01:02:46.960
they were

01:02:49.220 --> 01:02:49.820
basically

01:02:50.600 --> 01:02:52.840
if you want to call it this they were

01:02:53.560 --> 01:02:54.420
they were rescued

01:02:56.980 --> 01:02:59.160
from a slave

01:02:59.160 --> 01:03:00.240
ship

01:03:01.700 --> 01:03:03.880
and basically paid

01:03:05.160 --> 01:03:07.320
and give them free food

01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:10.400
while they were here in this country

01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:15.600
kind of like what we're doing now

01:03:16.160 --> 01:03:18.740
with H1B1s

01:03:21.140 --> 01:03:23.180
anyways I digress

01:03:24.980 --> 01:03:26.060
yeah

01:03:29.980 --> 01:03:32.320
let's change oh wow it's after the first

01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:34.580
top of the hour that was a fast hour
