WEBVTT 00:11.540 --> 00:15.860 In three, two, one, real liberty. 00:29.660 --> 00:30.820 Cue music now. 00:45.900 --> 00:49.340 From Spike Cohen on X, if you don't follow Spike, 00:49.880 --> 00:54.060 go check him out. He tweeted this out just a little bit ago. 00:54.740 --> 01:01.100 Multiple things are true. Jimmy Kimmel hasn't been funny since the 90s. 01:01.480 --> 01:05.520 He actively wished for every one of us who didn't get the COVID shot 01:05.520 --> 01:13.240 to be refused treatment and die. And besides praying that he repents and turns to Jesus, 01:14.080 --> 01:17.800 I really don't care to hear much from or about him again. 01:18.700 --> 01:24.180 The FCC shouldn't exist. And the government shouldn't be pressuring private companies to 01:24.180 --> 01:29.060 de-platform people like they did to us during COVID and many other times. 01:29.820 --> 01:33.580 It's pretty crazy how quickly millions of people went from 01:33.580 --> 01:39.740 I'm glad that guy who said things I disagree with was murdered in front of his family 01:40.560 --> 01:43.520 to we must defend freedom of speech. 01:44.580 --> 01:49.120 Everything this government does to one group, it will eventually do to everyone else. 01:49.480 --> 01:52.200 That's why it thrives on partisanship. 01:52.860 --> 02:00.300 If it can convince the country to split in two and demand that it oppress the other half, 02:00.740 --> 02:04.520 it will happily oblige you both. 02:05.340 --> 02:12.760 This life is fleeting. It will be over soon. Everything we built will disintegrate to nothing. 02:13.520 --> 02:17.300 And what really matters is where you will spend eternity. 02:18.020 --> 02:21.720 We are all fallen and unable to enter heaven by our own merits. 02:22.560 --> 02:26.960 Thankfully, God provided himself as the only sacrifice that was sufficient to 02:27.580 --> 02:33.980 atone for all of our sins. All you must do to receive this forgiveness is to turn to him in faith. 02:34.500 --> 02:37.780 Proclaim Jesus as your Lord and save your confess your sins and 02:37.780 --> 02:41.640 repent for his forgiveness and give your life to him. 02:42.080 --> 02:46.600 If you do, it'll be the best decision you ever make. I pray that you do. 02:48.500 --> 02:56.060 Regardless of whether you're a religious person or not, whether you follow God, Allah, 02:57.960 --> 03:01.400 a tree, a dog, a cat, 03:04.020 --> 03:16.480 the points he makes are pretty well right there and true. 03:18.840 --> 03:22.460 You don't have to believe whether there's an afterlife or not. 03:23.180 --> 03:29.980 What you have to believe is that we're humans and we're not here forever. 03:30.540 --> 03:38.900 We are not perfect and we can never be perfect and we will never be here forever. 03:40.020 --> 03:47.360 And it's up to us to take care of each other, care for each other, have some love, 03:48.200 --> 03:49.620 show a little respect. 03:52.760 --> 03:58.800 It's it's not hard people and that's what that's what we need to do. 04:00.920 --> 04:07.520 In case you haven't noticed, I'm back with a live one. Here we go. 04:07.520 --> 04:18.320 I'll celebrate the chains, your voice, your choice, no dead. 04:46.390 --> 04:55.910 Yeah, it's it's uh it was fun. I did not do a live episode last week 04:56.890 --> 05:04.190 because I fell asleep. I'm an apparently an old man now so I need those afternoon 05:04.790 --> 05:06.210 naps once in a while. 05:09.290 --> 05:14.690 The intro there I'm not I'm not into I'm not going to be a Bible thumper. 05:15.430 --> 05:17.890 I'm not ever going to be a Bible thumper. 05:19.270 --> 05:30.230 But I will say that the one thing that has always I find interesting 05:31.090 --> 05:37.810 is whether you believe in God, a higher power, Gaia, 05:40.150 --> 05:50.010 Allah, whoever, Big G, Little G, the one thing that we as humans throughout history, 05:52.190 --> 05:59.230 no matter what point in history we've always had to believe that there was something bigger than 05:59.230 --> 06:06.510 us and the one when we stopped believing that there was something bigger than us 06:07.490 --> 06:17.470 was usually when our society went to hell on a handbasket because we would think that we're 06:18.050 --> 06:25.590 as humans we would think that we are the ultimate. There's nothing better than us 06:26.430 --> 06:31.850 and when we think that we're there's nothing better than us we really fuck things up. 06:34.010 --> 06:41.110 So whether or not you think or want to think or want to believe, 06:42.570 --> 06:47.810 you just might want to whether whether you think it's your 06:49.970 --> 06:58.510 your what is Mr. Spaghetti Monster or whether you want to believe in the magical 06:59.810 --> 07:04.090 guy in the sky that's another thing I've never understood. 07:05.570 --> 07:13.290 There's some atheists that make no sense in all they will sit there and and say 07:13.290 --> 07:22.490 you know they're well yeah you know Bigfoot's real or you know you know Slender Man's real 07:23.720 --> 07:30.590 there's ghosts there's UFOs there's aliens you know they'll say everything in the paranormal 07:30.590 --> 07:39.550 is totally totally possible but a magical dude in the sky that's not possible. 07:44.890 --> 07:47.490 That's that's never made sense to me. 07:51.210 --> 07:53.990 Anyways that's not what this this show is about. 07:55.450 --> 08:01.610 I just had to throw that out there and you know I'm you know I 08:03.150 --> 08:12.330 be honestly back in the day I did I used to be not the big you know Bible thumper type guy but 08:12.730 --> 08:22.130 you know I I still do believe I just you know I don't live my life by it obviously 08:23.610 --> 08:32.270 but you know I probably should my life probably better actually but uh anyways I 08:34.370 --> 08:41.050 I just don't think that we could be we as humans could have attained what we attained 08:42.510 --> 08:53.210 without some kind of guidance we can't even prove the way how life started 08:54.180 --> 09:03.230 over here on this planet you know we could we've got guesses and theories but those will always 09:03.230 --> 09:11.630 remain facts because nobody's been able to reproduce it nobody's ever been able to 09:12.950 --> 09:22.690 have been there to have witnessed it so we can't prove whether or not some things many things are facts 09:24.030 --> 09:32.190 for instance you know like the whole evolution versus creation theories you know they you know 09:32.190 --> 09:39.870 everybody pretty much accepts that evolution is exactly how it happened but 09:39.870 --> 09:49.050 that evolutionary theory pretty much screws its own theory in order to make things happen 09:49.050 --> 09:58.530 even the big bang theory screws itself to make it happen because you know the you know 09:58.530 --> 10:08.890 like the laws of physics don't match up with the creation theory it says that everything would 10:08.890 --> 10:17.470 have to move faster than it physically could as it's exploding outward but 10:19.690 --> 10:24.930 we can see things you know in space there's nothing to slow it down anyways I'm not getting 10:24.930 --> 10:29.590 into it it's it's we can do that some other time but that's not what this episode is about 10:29.590 --> 10:36.870 this episode you know mainly I wanted to reiterate 10:40.610 --> 10:43.310 when I talk about freedom of speech 10:47.610 --> 10:49.590 when I say freedom of speech 10:53.010 --> 10:58.630 like this came up in the the matrix chat the other night so 10:59.590 --> 11:06.070 allowing one form of speech while not allowing others is the definition of censorship 11:06.800 --> 11:13.390 so like if somebody wants to go out you know start throwing racial slurs around 11:14.850 --> 11:18.030 that's on them they they got every right to say that 11:20.230 --> 11:25.630 whether or not you know it's you can say it in somebody else's house 11:26.450 --> 11:32.490 like some matrix or discord chats or generally in public you know people will say 11:33.190 --> 11:41.490 you know no no yeah you know no racial slurs and in this public space you know to be that's not a 11:41.490 --> 11:52.510 public space that's you know up to them that's their house you have to abide by their rules 11:53.630 --> 12:01.570 on the liberty bites or liberty bites liberty tunes matrix I said it was free speech 12:02.390 --> 12:06.570 it is you know the only rule I have there is no porn 12:08.670 --> 12:13.590 and uh so when I say free speech 12:15.370 --> 12:20.530 it's laid out there I don't care but see the problem is when you allow 12:21.950 --> 12:31.210 one form of speech and not allow others where do you draw that line and still call it free speech 12:33.530 --> 12:41.390 if you're talking racial slurs do you allow racial slurs for blacks and not for jews 12:42.070 --> 12:50.930 or do you allow racial slurs for for jews and not blacks or the alphabet crowd or 12:54.610 --> 13:05.190 you know freaking brits name your favorite race racial slur where do you draw that line 13:06.120 --> 13:11.070 on allowing one over the other if you 13:13.300 --> 13:23.490 do that and you allow one over the other you are basically saying that you just agree 13:24.340 --> 13:31.630 with one over the other and you end up like like our matrix space you end up building a 13:32.590 --> 13:44.010 walled garden of people that just reinforced their beliefs nothing gets challenged 13:45.730 --> 13:52.670 you can't grow as a human or a society if you're never challenged 13:54.290 --> 13:57.470 and you're only taught or 13:59.990 --> 14:09.790 see one thing you're never learning you're never growing you you can as humans we 14:10.190 --> 14:18.810 we make mistakes constantly and we have failures and that's how you learn and how you grow 14:19.580 --> 14:22.870 is you fail and you do it again 14:27.300 --> 14:37.730 to try to eliminate failure mistakes and the only way really to eliminate failure and mistakes 14:39.020 --> 14:48.530 is to keep failing and making the mistakes you can't grow without it it's not possible 14:50.430 --> 14:58.970 so that's why over in the matrix server the um well shoot i thought this not maybe made me 14:58.970 --> 15:06.230 louder i guess not oh it is the microphone game did i get louder 15:07.850 --> 15:15.010 check check check i think i did get louder hopefully it's not like sounding like shit now 15:15.930 --> 15:19.230 anyways i got a bunch of tunes i want to play today 15:20.690 --> 15:33.830 i've got where's my playlist says i got like 46 minutes of songs i want to play i've got 15:35.330 --> 15:45.330 three new ones that i've written and produced since last time um i've got one 15:47.290 --> 15:55.210 that i it's it's a new one too you haven't heard it yet but i do want to play it um it's a new 15:55.210 --> 16:03.670 chrome well it's basically two chrome cruise effects songs and uh two by rebel songs 16:04.630 --> 16:08.990 and then i've got you know some older ones that i wanted to play that you've never heard 16:11.210 --> 16:17.870 but now dude dude you know since we're talking about the whole 16:20.090 --> 16:26.430 you know anyway let me get back to the freedom of speech thing um 16:27.650 --> 16:32.490 for instance if it's like you know a racial slur or something something like that 16:33.330 --> 16:38.610 if you don't like a person's conduct that's that they're holding themselves in a public 16:38.610 --> 16:46.910 place you have the right to engage with that you can ask them to say hey you know you're a public 16:46.910 --> 16:54.070 can you act like an adult then they have the then you know that person has the right to 16:54.770 --> 17:01.630 either you know straighten up and act more like an adult or you know say fuck you 17:02.530 --> 17:10.670 it's pretty simple um it's it's the thing is that one person 17:11.710 --> 17:19.090 does not have the right to restrict another person's right to free speech even if they don't 17:19.090 --> 17:28.710 agree with it or even if they don't like it there's nothing you could say to me or anybody else 17:31.090 --> 17:37.290 that should affect that do you have the right to say something just like the person that says 17:37.290 --> 17:44.590 you know fuck you as loud as they can standing on a you know on a soapbox in the middle of a 17:44.590 --> 17:49.870 town square they have never been a right to say fuck you in front of everybody there 17:51.470 --> 17:55.010 and everybody there has the right to tell them to shut the fuck up 17:57.250 --> 18:03.390 but you know what they don't have the right they don't have the right to physically shut them up 18:06.910 --> 18:13.070 that's not how free speech works now if you're in a bar and you're standing on a table 18:14.630 --> 18:19.070 and screaming at the top of your lungs and saying shut the fuck up chances are you're 18:19.070 --> 18:26.050 probably going to go to jail because then you're in somebody else's place of business that they own 18:26.730 --> 18:36.230 that is not a public space it is privately owned and the owner has every right to kick you out 18:36.230 --> 18:40.170 or have you rested for being drunk in public 18:43.330 --> 18:45.970 not that i would know anything about that um 18:47.570 --> 18:52.730 when i say i believe in free speech for all that the hell i do i will die on 18:53.510 --> 19:02.650 and i do not care ever who gets offended by my words or somebody else's words 19:04.090 --> 19:08.530 there's nothing that's ever going to sway me from that 19:10.810 --> 19:14.470 a person's actions will speak louder 19:16.470 --> 19:20.510 about their character than the words that come out of their mouth 19:22.550 --> 19:31.230 because their actions will usually tell them and will will usually tell what their true intentions are 19:33.870 --> 19:40.250 but when it comes to the the whatchamacallit 19:42.770 --> 19:51.950 my matrix server the only way someone will ever get a ban or you know a boot kick out you know 19:51.950 --> 19:58.430 whatever of the of the server at least for me might be one of the other admins but 19:59.150 --> 20:05.170 they've got to clearly only be there to cause hate division discontent and 20:05.170 --> 20:11.650 strife in the community that or they show porn especially kitty porn you will be banned within 20:11.650 --> 20:20.290 seconds not and probably be hunted down thrown into a fucking wood chip or two because i don't 20:20.290 --> 20:27.890 i don't fuck around with with child predators no that's just wrong you're robbing the life 20:27.890 --> 20:30.190 of a child you need to die 20:32.530 --> 20:44.440 um basically when it comes down to all of the problems we have in the world whether it's free 20:44.440 --> 20:55.720 speech oppression you know or you know people shoot another people for you know talking peacefully 21:00.700 --> 21:09.220 uh there's you know three things the world needs more of responsibility respect and love 21:10.980 --> 21:19.800 the sad thing is those three are almost all gone from humanity here's that brand new one there 21:19.800 --> 29:22.150 from uh chrome crucifix shadows of empathy i can make a memory a forgotten touch you people over 29:22.150 --> 29:33.610 there on party.com you guys are there's a lot of you over there holy shit but anyways yeah here we go 29:35.290 --> 29:42.930 ah let's see new york wants online digital id rules for social media fees under safe for kids act 29:45.230 --> 29:52.350 do that was going papers please new york is advancing a set of proposed regulations that 29:52.350 --> 29:58.810 would require social media platforms to verify users agent before granting access to algorithmic 29:58.810 --> 30:06.890 algorithm driven feeds or allowing nighttime alerts so they don't get alerts during the day 30:07.420 --> 30:14.590 attorney general latisha game james introduced the draft rules on monday tied to the stop 30:14.590 --> 30:22.950 addictive feeds explorer exploitation for kids act or safe which was signed to the law last 30:22.950 --> 30:29.030 year by governor catchy kathy hochle presented as part of an effort to reduce mental health 30:29.030 --> 30:34.310 and harm so they linked to social media the law would compel platforms to restrict algorithmic 30:34.310 --> 30:40.510 content for anyone under 18 or anyone who hasn't completed an age verification process which would 30:40.510 --> 30:47.170 mean the introduction of digital id checks to access online platforms in those cases users would 30:47.170 --> 30:52.610 be limited to seeing content in chronological order from accounts they already follow 30:55.350 --> 31:01.310 platforms would also be barred from sending notifications between 12 am and 6 am to those 31:01.310 --> 31:08.210 users the rules give companies some flexibility in how they confirm a user's age as long as the 31:08.210 --> 31:15.110 method is considered effective and designed to protect personal data acceptable alternatives to 31:15.110 --> 31:19.810 submitting a government id include facial analysis that estimates age 31:21.830 --> 31:27.910 any identifying information collected during verification must be deleted immediately according 31:27.910 --> 31:34.750 to the proposal for minors to access personalized algorithmic feeds a parental permission will 31:34.750 --> 31:41.730 be required that too involves a verification step with the same data deletion requirements in 31:41.730 --> 31:48.870 place once the process is complete excuse me the safe for kids act targets platforms where 31:48.870 --> 31:54.530 user generated content is central and where at least 20% of time spent involves engagement 31:54.530 --> 32:01.870 with feeds tailored to user behavior or data or device data sorry this definition would 32:01.870 --> 32:07.930 almost certainly include platforms such as instagram tiktok and youtube and many many 32:08.890 --> 32:14.670 companies that fail to comply could face penalties of up to $5,000 per violation 32:15.180 --> 32:22.230 along with other legal consequences children and teenagers are struggling with high rates 32:22.230 --> 32:27.610 of anxiety and depression because of addictive features on social media platforms attorney general 32:27.610 --> 32:33.310 james said the proposed rules released by my office today will help us tackle the youth 32:33.310 --> 32:39.790 mental health crisis and make social media safer for kids and family families before anything takes 32:39.790 --> 32:45.650 effect the proposal won't go through a 60-day period for public comment the attorney general's 32:45.650 --> 32:51.770 office will then have to have up to one year to finalize the rules the law itself is scheduled 32:51.770 --> 32:57.610 to go into effect 180 days after that although it is almost certain to face legal challenges 32:57.830 --> 33:03.550 a recent supreme court decision allowed states to enforce digital ID checks on adult websites 33:03.550 --> 33:07.870 giving more room for states to experiment with similar policies for social media 33:08.390 --> 33:14.270 new york's approach joins a sudden national and global push that raises major questions about 33:14.270 --> 33:26.140 privacy digital access and how far states can go in regulating online platforms it's 33:32.270 --> 33:33.820 how do you say this 33:37.540 --> 33:46.200 bullshit i i'm not saying you know kids need to be protected that's that's true 33:47.490 --> 33:51.070 but it's not the fucking government's place to do it 33:54.110 --> 34:00.220 the kids the government is using us using kids they're they are a tool 34:03.360 --> 34:05.720 you got this story here 34:07.700 --> 34:11.720 where is it it was posted in the 34:14.860 --> 34:15.580 here 34:18.120 --> 34:26.100 what somebody posted this over in the uh the liberty tunes matrix and it's in our guardian 34:27.800 --> 34:30.360 yeah i gotta put the link in the show notes before i forget 34:33.740 --> 34:41.760 this kind of goes along with it and it's just more fuel for my point here parents 34:41.760 --> 34:48.780 outraged as meta uses photos of schoolgirls and adds targeting man exclusive instagram 34:48.780 --> 34:56.820 pictures of girls as young as 13 were posted to promote thread site as bait campaigner says 34:59.520 --> 35:05.440 meta has used back to school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms 35:05.860 --> 35:13.860 to a 37 year old man any move parents described as outrageous and upsetting the man noticed 35:13.860 --> 35:20.180 that posts encouraging him to get threads mark zuckerberg's rival the elon musks x were being 35:20.180 --> 35:26.140 dropped into his instagram feed featuring embedded posts of uniform girls as young as 13 35:26.940 --> 35:33.140 with their faces visible and in most cases their names the children's images were used by meta 35:33.700 --> 35:39.860 after their parents had posted them on instagram to mark their return to school the parents who 35:39.860 --> 35:47.000 were unaware that meta settings permitted it to do this one mother said her account was set to 35:47.000 --> 35:52.720 private but the post were automatically cross posting to threads where they were visible 35:53.860 --> 35:59.680 another said that she posted the picture to a public instagram account the posts of their 35:59.680 --> 36:05.220 children were highlighted to the stranger as suggested threats the recipient told the guardian 36:05.220 --> 36:12.680 the post felt deliberately productive and ultimately exploitative of the children and 36:12.680 --> 36:17.900 families involved the father of a 13 year old who appeared in one of the posts said it was 36:17.900 --> 36:24.360 absolutely outrageous the images were all of schoolgirls in short skirts with either bare legs 36:24.360 --> 36:31.000 or stockings when i found out an image of her has been exploited in what it felt like a 36:31.000 --> 36:36.320 sexualized way by a massive company like that to market their product it left me feeling quite 36:36.320 --> 36:45.620 disgusted he said meta the two trillion dollar company based on minnow in minnow park california 36:45.620 --> 36:50.980 said the images did not violate its policies it said it recommended people to visit threads by 36:50.980 --> 36:56.680 showing them publicly shared photos that comply with its community standards and recommendation 36:56.680 --> 37:03.540 guidelines its systems do not recommend threads shared by teenagers but these were posts made 37:03.540 --> 37:10.820 from adults accounts that were set to allow public viewing the man who received the post said that he 37:10.820 --> 37:17.160 was only a only sent promotional posts of those schoolgirls there were no boys in school uniform 37:17.160 --> 37:23.760 for example there appeared to be an aspect of sexualization the mother of a 15 year old whose 37:23.760 --> 37:29.820 picture was used in a promotional post that featured a large get threads button said for me it was a 37:29.820 --> 37:34.740 picture of my daughter going to school i had no idea instagram had picked it up and are using 37:34.740 --> 37:41.780 it as a promotion it's absolutely disgusting she is a minor she said she would have refused consent 37:42.540 --> 37:47.680 and not for any money in the world would i let them use a girl dressed in a school uniform to 37:47.680 --> 37:55.520 get people on it onto its platform with 267 followers her instagram account usually had had 37:55.520 --> 38:03.080 a modest reach but the post of her child attracted nearly 7 000 views 90 from non-followers 38:03.710 --> 38:10.500 half of whom were aged over 44 and 90 of whom were men another woman or another mother 38:10.500 --> 38:15.560 whose post of her 13 year old was used in a promotional post said meta did all of this on 38:15.560 --> 38:21.660 purpose not informing us as they want to generate content it's despicable and who is responsible 38:21.660 --> 38:27.800 for creating that threads ad using children's photos to promote the platform for older men 38:28.380 --> 38:35.380 meta said it called such post recommendation tools and that public posts could be used for 38:35.380 --> 38:41.740 this purpose a company spokesperson said the images share shared do not violate our policies 38:41.740 --> 38:47.360 and our back to school photos posted publicly by parents we have systems in place to help make 38:47.360 --> 38:52.900 sure we don't recommend threads shared by teens or that go against our recommendation guidelines 38:52.900 --> 38:59.300 and users can't control whether meta suggests their public post on instagram the 37 year old 38:59.300 --> 39:05.700 instagram user from london who received the posts and asked to remain anonymous said over 39:05.700 --> 39:11.520 several days i was repeatedly served meta adverts for threads that exclusively featured parents 39:11.520 --> 39:18.360 images of their daughters in school you school uniform some revealing their names as a father 39:18.360 --> 39:24.560 i find it deeply inappropriate for meta to repurpose those posts and targeted promotions to adults 39:26.560 --> 39:33.680 okay i'm going to give you a little secret here before i felt there's like formal progress 39:33.680 --> 39:38.300 i'm going to go ahead and finish this he said he had not posted or liked any similar images 39:38.300 --> 39:44.980 before he was sent to the school world pictures keep all of this in mind as depth you remember this 39:44.980 --> 39:50.400 when i start explaining some stuff to me showcasing such content as trending or popular 39:50.400 --> 39:56.460 popular fields deliberately provocative and ultimately exploitative of this of the children 39:56.460 --> 40:02.740 and families involved putting their online safety of risk b-bank kid run a frost bench 40:02.740 --> 40:08.400 peer and campaigner for children's rights online said offering up school age girls as bait to 40:08.400 --> 40:14.800 advertise a commercial services now is a new low even for meta at every opportunity meta privileges 40:15.540 --> 40:21.040 profit over safety and company growth over children's right to privacy it is the only reason 40:21.040 --> 40:28.360 that they could think it appropriate to send pictures of schoolgirls to a 37 year old man as 40:28.360 --> 40:35.100 bait meta is a willfully careless company she called on the regulator of off-com to consider 40:35.100 --> 40:41.320 if measures introduced this summer to prevent unknown adults connecting to children make clear 40:41.320 --> 40:47.300 that that companies cannot offer sexualized images of children as bait to unknown men 40:47.940 --> 40:55.440 off-coms illegal harms codes intended to tackle online grooming require that children's profit 40:55.440 --> 41:00.960 profiles and locations as well as friends and connections should not be visible to others 41:01.600 --> 41:08.520 meta systems means that if a threads profile is public posts on adult profiles may be suggested 41:08.520 --> 41:14.120 on facebook or instagram so people can discover follow and interact with you these suggestions 41:14.120 --> 41:18.560 can be turned off or the threads profile can be switched to private 41:22.360 --> 41:23.400 it's okay 41:25.660 --> 41:30.120 that's enough you some things you need to understand 41:34.080 --> 41:35.000 if you're a parent 41:36.840 --> 41:40.360 you remember in the intro when i said there's three things 41:41.960 --> 41:43.000 that can 41:44.320 --> 41:51.580 that can solve all the problems we are having in our world right now remember the number one 41:51.580 --> 42:01.580 thing i said responsibility and you're thinking 42:04.560 --> 42:09.400 i'm talking about meta no i'm not 42:11.480 --> 42:14.020 talking about the parents here the adults 42:16.620 --> 42:23.860 every i mean every piece of software every website 42:26.240 --> 42:32.900 everything on the computer on a phone has a terms of service

45:06.800 --> 45:11.840 of your daughter wearing a super short short skirt and her ass is hanging out 45:12.600 --> 45:22.640 and you post that fucking shit online and it gets used like that that's

fucking lazy to scroll through it and 46:38.320 --> 46:44.040 actually read it instead of just flipping by it and hitting okay and then you bitch because you 46:44.040 --> 46:52.080 lost something or you got you know it's on you i agree that the company shouldn't be doing that 46:52.780 --> 47:01.560 and i agree that they don't yo this is my biggest gripe that i had my first gripe i had with facebook 47:02.760 --> 47:06.040 was no matter what you posted on there they could use for 47:06.760 --> 47:12.860 their own promotions or whatever they want to and they don't owe you to shit for it 47:15.880 --> 47:22.260 and now people are you now now they're asking a government 47:23.900 --> 47:28.520 to protect your kids how much you don't put your fucking kids online 47:30.100 --> 47:37.500 i know it's fucking hard in this day and age but there are parents out there that don't allow 47:37.500 --> 47:47.280 their kids online until they're like 16 or 18 even there are some parents out there that 47:48.050 --> 47:55.040 i just i swear to god i hear about this digital id all the time and how you know we've got to 47:55.810 --> 48:04.540 cut this back you know and you know the the limiting you know being on was a threads i think it was 48:04.540 --> 48:14.220 between midnight six a.m or social social media by reducing their their their uh interactions and all 48:14.220 --> 48:23.340 that no people are screaming and clamoring you know clamoring for the fucking government to 48:23.340 --> 48:32.740 protect their kids when it's the fucking parents responsibility every fucking router every phone 48:32.740 --> 48:40.440 every phone plan you get a family plan you could go into the dashboard on whatever carrier you use 48:40.960 --> 48:48.780 and you can limit what they can go to where they can go to you can get on your phone on 48:48.780 --> 49:00.980 on your kids phone and block tiktok doesn't matter if they're on a wi-fi or not they can't fucking 49:00.980

now's your chance the best way to not worry about your kids being sexualized 49:38.810 --> 49:42.130 don't put them on the fucking internet 49:46.270 --> 49:51.390 that's number one number two be a fucking parent 49:53.730 --> 50:02.230 i know being a parent's heart trust me i hate one i drove truck for 30 fucking years i wasn't 50:02.230 --> 50:06.310 home all the time but you know what i knew every time my daughter logged in 50:09.970 --> 50:18.210 i knew every website she went to and i was hundreds if not thousands of miles away from her at the time 50:20.410 --> 50:25.050 i don't do that no more because she turned 18 she's a legal adult now 50:27.170 --> 50:28.990 but i can guarantee you i knew 50:31.490 --> 50:37.350 and i am back then when i first started getting into learning how to do that 50:38.990 --> 50:42.930 around 2010 i didn't know what the hell i was doing 50:44.090 --> 50:49.910 i still don't know what the hell i'm doing but but but i can't guarantee you 50:51.210 --> 50:58.990 i had a i i wanted to know and i wanted to make sure that she wasn't doing something stupid 50:58.990 --> 51:05.910 or getting herself into trouble thankfully she didn't do too much of that 51:08.370 --> 51:15.910 but i remember calling my wife a couple of times and asking what she's doing 51:16.450 --> 51:20.110 not her my daughter because she was supposed to be in school 51:22.350

51:54.310 --> 51:55.950 people in our society 51:58.590 --> 52:00.810 are so fucking tribalistic 52:02.250 --> 52:10.590 that they will it's it's not just a left versus right political thing anymore 52:11.130 --> 52:19.850 it's down to they are dedicated to this company this company this company this 52:19.850 --> 52:26.670 company's protecting me that company doesn't you know microsoft you know is better than apple 52:26.670 --> 52:32.570 apple's better than microsoft you know android's better than google google is better than fucking 52:35.030 --> 52:42.330 iphone yada yada yada yada it's they're all big companies you're a nobody 52:43.590 --> 52:52.930 you're a faceless slave to them all they want is your data and your money 52:54.030 --> 52:58.830 and if they can get you to pay them to take your data 53:01.590 --> 53:02.330 even better 53:05.230 --> 53:11.110 if they can get you to pay them and use your fucking 53:13.030 --> 53:16.810 content or your pictures 53:17.910 --> 53:28.400 your stuff even better to take responsibility people 53:30.140 --> 53:37.440 personal responsibility not just corporations responsibility your personal responsibility 53:38.070 --> 53:42.200 and then to go hand in hand with that a little bit of respect 53:44.350 --> 53:49.280 goes with that responsibility because you should respect your kids enough 53:51.640 --> 53:58.200 to take their security and their safety and be responsible with it 54:01.320 --> 54:05.560 don't give it to fucking facebook don't give it to meta don't give it to fucking instagram 54:05.560 --> 54:12.040 don't give it to threads don't give it to fucking blue sky don't give it to fucking twitter x 54:12.040 --> 54:19.600 whatever we're calling it this week just don't do it it's really really not hard 54:21.620 --> 54:27.580 god it pisses me off here's one you've never heard hidden shadows 56:45.740 --> 57:16.770 open ai adopts user monitoring digital id verification 57:17.210 --> 57:24.550 the internet's lasting stronghold of anonymity is being dismantled in this name of safety 57:25.630 --> 57:30.270 a growing effort to link online activity with verified identity is gaining momentum 57:30.650 --> 57:37.310 with open ai becoming the last tech latest sorry not last latest tech company to 57:37.310 --> 57:41.970 embrace stricter digital id measures in response to several lawsuits and reports 57:41.970 --> 57:47.770 tying chat bots to teen suicides the company announced it will begin estimating users' 57:48.170 --> 57:55.130 ages and in some cases demand government issued id to confirm users are over 18 57:55.810 --> 58:02.590 lawmakers such as missouri senator josh holly have also been pushing for the measures open ai 58:02.590 --> 58:08.730 frame the shift as a necessary concession we know it's a this is a privacy compromise for adults 58:08.730 --> 58:16.870 but believe it is a worthy trade-off the company stated ceo sam altman added on x i don't expect 58:16.870 --> 58:22.750 that everyone will agree with these trade-offs be given the kind of conflict it is important 58:22.750 --> 58:30.790 to explain our decision making the movement lines with a broader industry trend towards 58:30.790 --> 58:40.310 reducing anonymity online all under the premise of protecting young users what was once a fringe 58:40.310 --> 58:46.270 idea is now being baked into mainstream platforms in july youtube announced it would also begin 58:46.270 --> 58:52.690 using ai tools to guess users' ages and restrict access to certain accounts unless they pass a 58:52.690 --> 58:59.870 digital id test open ai's announcement comes amid heightened legal pressure one lawsuit 58:59.870 --> 59:06.070 filed in august by the parents of a 17-year-old adam rain claims that chat gpt played an active 59:06.070 --> 59:12.110 role in his death by suicide according to the suit the chat bot drafted an initial version 59:12.110 --> 59:18.910 of a suicide note suggested methods of fossil farm dismissed warning signs and advised the 59:18.910 --> 59:25.870 teen to not involve adults other recent cases have followed in response open ai has 59:26.590 --> 59:32.710 expanded its safety measures after adding parental controls earlier in september the company has now 59:32.710 --> 59:39.210 introduced rules that were restrict how miners can interact with chat dpt the changes will go 59:39.210 --> 59:47.470 go beyond that these changes go well beyond content filtering users will constantly be monitored and 59:47.470 --> 59:52.970 when the system suspects a user is under 18 it will enforce strict or behavioral limits 59:52.970 --> 59:59.750 blocking topics related to self-harm refusing flirtatious or romantic dialogue and escalating 59:59.750 --> 01:00:06.710 somehow or escalating some cases into law enforcement if an under 18 user is having 01:00:06.710 --> 01:00:12.250 suicidal ideation we will attempt to contact the user's parents and it will and if unable 01:00:12.250 --> 01:00:18.650 will contact the authorities in case of imminent harm open ai's leadership has acknowledged the 01:00:18.650 --> 01:00:25.190 growing tension between maintaining open access to powerful ai tools and preventing misuse 01:00:25.850 --> 01:00:32.630 earlier versions of chat gpt were designed to avoid a broad set of sensitive topics but in recent 01:00:32.630 --> 01:00:38.010 years competitive pressure from looser models and increasing political resistance to moderation 01:00:38.010 --> 01:00:43.550 led the company to relax those new those restrictions we want users to be able to 01:00:43.550 --> 01:00:49.350 use our tools in the way that they want within very broad bounds of safety open ai said 01:00:50.350 --> 01:00:55.610 internally the company claims to follow a principle of treat our adult users like adults 01:00:56.130 --> 01:01:01.570 while still drawing the line at situations where harm might occur what's becoming more evident 01:01:01.570 --> 01:01:07.370 is that privacy is being traded for control as governments and companies look to prevent 01:01:07.370 --> 01:01:12.670 online harm they are turning more frequently the identity identity verification systems 01:01:12.670 --> 01:01:19.670 the push for digital ID once pitched as a tool to combat fraud or improve safety is increasingly 01:01:19.670 --> 01:01:26.050 being used to regulate access to online spaces including those that were once anonymous by design 01:01:26.550 --> 01:01:30.970 the implications for online safety or online privacy are far far reaching 01:01:32.730 --> 01:01:40.110 ah excuse me as more platforms introduce age detection and identity verification users may 01:01:40.110 --> 01:01:46.030 force or major users may face growing barriers to anonymous access particularly when using 01:01:46.030 --> 01:01:54.650 generative ai tools excuse me for those concerned about how personal data is collected and stored 01:01:54.650 --> 01:02:00.670 to move toward id based system signals a major change in how the internet operates 01:02:03.150 --> 01:02:04.390 again 01:02:07.330 --> 01:02:09.190 i i get the whole 01:02:11.270 --> 01:02:13.470 you know parents 01:02:14.970 --> 01:02:18.890 uh take responsibility respect your kids 01:02:21.550 --> 01:02:23.990 if your kid is uh 01:02:26.470 --> 01:02:34.910 uh suicidal or you know leading that way there's a few signs 01:02:37.010 --> 01:02:40.830 and if you're not paying any attention to that 01:02:44.590 --> 01:02:50.430 again you're a shitty parent i don't you know i'm not trying to you know make light and i don't mean 01:02:51.170 --> 01:02:59.470 to make people feel bad i'm just being totally honest and blunt here 01:03:02.030 --> 01:03:20.410 if your kid is like a happy go lucky person any pretty much anybody if they're a happy 01:03:21.370 --> 01:03:34.710 chances are you noticed it you just ignored it if you didn't notice it 01:03:36.510 --> 01:03:39.210 were you really paying attention to your kid 01:03:43.570 --> 01:03:47.630 i i get that most parents do love their children 01:03:49.050 --> 01:03:56.310 but when you love somebody and you notice a change and ongoing change 01:03:57.710 --> 01:04:03.250 and you don't act on it and they're gone 01:04:06.750 --> 01:04:14.220 who's really to blame then just saying 01:04:17.200 --> 01:04:19.540 where does that responsibility fall on 01:04:21.120 --> 01:04:33.820 where's that respect for that person that you loved if you're not if you love somebody and you 01:04:33.820 --> 01:04:34.620 respect somebody 01:04:37.460 --> 01:04:39.280 you're responsible for that 01:04:42.380 --> 01:04:47.720 you have a responsibility to protect them you have a responsibility 01:04:49.700 --> 01:04:59.400 to help them to get them the help that they need you have the the responsibility to help your 01:04:59.400 --> 01:05:05.700 children you have the the responsibility to make your children better than you 01:05:09.300 --> 01:05:25.230 if you didn't where you can't or you won't or you don't where's 01:05:28.150 --> 01:05:39.920 now why are you a parent why did you become a parent you know i get tired 01:05:41.440 --> 01:05:49.960 of the the abortion argument of hearing well you know if you can't get any more woman's body 01:05:50.800 --> 01:05:54.560 that's not just a woman's body there's a there's a child in there too 01:05:56.200 --> 01:06:04.000 if you take the right away from that child to have a chance or a choice to live or to die 01:06:07.720 --> 01:06:10.740 how how does that make you any better 01:06:13.120 --> 01:06:18.000 if you can't have the power over your own body to 01:06:20.140 --> 01:06:25.720 keep your legs shut and not you know go sticking things into other people 01:06:27.200 --> 01:06:34.180 you know maybe maybe you don't have any love or respect or responsibility for anybody 01:06:35.300 --> 01:06:36.340 even yourself 01:06:41.080 --> 01:06:47.160 the yeah you can throw out the whole rape thing that rapes not at an epidemic level 01:06:48.480 --> 01:06:53.220 it's not this major major thing it takes two to tango 01:06:54.960 --> 01:06:59.360 you know changing your mind after the effect and saying oh i regret 01:07:00.800 --> 01:07:06.200 you having sex with such such a such person doesn't make a rape 01:07:07.960 --> 01:07:12.740 because you chose to be with them anyways i digress like i said 01:07:16.020 --> 01:07:18.080 love respect and responsibility 01:07:21.380 --> 01:07:22.680 that's what it takes 01:07:24.580 --> 01:07:26.320 to change the world 01:07:29.920 --> 01:07:35.520 visa enters the digital id race a handshaken device signals a future where identity and 01:07:35.520 --> 01:07:41.620 payments merge into a single digital layer visa and tech five events have entered a seven-year 01:07:41.620 --> 01:07:47.360 global agreement aimed at accelerating the rollout of digital identity and payment systems out of 01:07:47.360 --> 01:07:51.880 the broader framework of digital public infrastructure the initiative formalized in 01:07:51.880 --> 01:07:57.600 Dubai supports a vision promoted by organizations including the united nations the european union 01:07:57.600 --> 01:08:07.920 the world economic forum and bill gates no fucking gates dpi strategies are being pushed as a part of 01:08:07.920 --> 01:08:15.440 global roadmap to digitize digitize identity and financial access by 2030 under this deal visa will 01:08:15.440 --> 01:08:22.320 combine its payments network with tech five biometric and identity technology together the 01:08:22.320 --> 01:08:28.420 companies plan to create integrated platforms that allow individuals to store verified credentials 01:08:28.420 --> 01:08:35.300 and use them to access services and conduct financial transactions the systems would be 01:08:35.300 --> 01:08:41.080 built with adaptability in mind reflecting regional regulations and market conditions the collaboration 01:08:41.080 --> 01:08:47.900 will center on developing identity wallets that not only verify trace users but also include embedded 01:08:47.900 --> 01:08:54.860 payment capabilities tech five brings ai powered systems capable of facial work fingerprint and 01:08:54.860 --> 01:09:01.260 iris recognition while visa contributes to its infrastructure and global experience and digital 01:09:01.260 --> 01:09:06.900 payments visa will provide strategic and financial support for selected projects tech five will 01:09:06.900 --> 01:09:12.220 offer the core biometric and identity components both companies say their joint work will proprietary 01:09:12.220 --> 01:09:18.680 prioritize data protection under consent and alignment with standards for wallet interoper 01:09:18.680 --> 01:09:29.400 interop interoper interop where they work together and digital credentials michael vander harshed 01:09:29.400 --> 01:09:35.700 a co-founder and ceo of tech five said our collaboration with visa represents a significant 01:09:35.700 --> 01:09:41.640 step in broadening the research and applicable applicability of tech five dpi technologies 01:09:42.580 --> 01:09:47.180 by combining our identity and biometric expertise with visa's global payment network 01:09:47.180 --> 01:09:53.100 and resources we are positioned to address the evolving needs of governments and institutions 01:09:53.640 --> 01:10:02.780 seeking secure and exclusive no we are positioned to address the evolving needs of 01:10:02.780 --> 01:10:10.940 governments and institutions seeking secure and inclusive digital infrastructure 01:10:12.560 --> 01:10:15.620 Dr. Sullivan in the ministry that you are 01:10:16.720 --> 01:10:21.960 i have no idea how to pronounce that vice president and head of visa government solutions 01:10:21.960 --> 01:10:30.520 in the cema mea region added a visa we believe the secure inclusive and scalable digital 01:10:30.520 --> 01:10:35.880 identity is foundational to the future of payments although the announcement describes 01:10:35.880 --> 01:10:40.420 the agreement as global neither company has confirmed where initial deployments will take 01:10:40.420 --> 01:10:46.740 place previous collaboration between visa and tech five and ethiopia helped support the fayada 01:10:46.740 --> 01:10:52.020 digital id system and both were involved in the early stages of south africa's digital id 01:10:52.020 --> 01:11:03.300 initiative a lot of technology in ethiopia i thought they were still having problems with 01:11:03.300 --> 01:11:12.080 feeding kids didn't know there was that much technology that they had digital id in ethiopia 01:11:14.460 --> 01:11:20.600 but yet you know we still gotta have the world feed the kids future pilot programs will depend 01:11:20.600 --> 01:11:25.160 on local regulations governmental interest in the readiness of implementation partners 01:11:25.160 --> 01:11:29.620 the company's described this as a flexible model that will adjust based on jurisdiction 01:11:30.280 --> 01:11:34.640 specific needs the move reflects a broader international push to integrate 01:11:35.160 --> 01:11:40.380 verified digital identity with financial services this is often presented as a way to 01:11:40.380 --> 01:11:46.340 reduce friction in service delivery expanded inclusion and prevent fraud however piracy 01:11:46.340 --> 01:11:52.160 advocates that continue to raise alarms over the implications of centralizing both 01:11:52.160 --> 01:11:58.220 identification and payments systems by embedding a biometric idea into the infrastructure of 01:11:58.220 --> 01:12:04.640 daily life these systems risk enabling mass surveillance particularly in regions where 01:12:04.640 --> 01:12:12.880 transparency and oversight are at week or are weak claims of ground data production and consent 01:12:13.420 --> 01:12:19.800 rely heavily on implementation details many of which remain vague 01:12:23.400 --> 01:12:34.360 you know reclaiming that kin mcconn making author here wrote this article that reads like a bunch of 01:12:34.360 --> 01:12:44.180 corporate comedy gook i think i'm how many times was the word inclusive 01:12:48.710 --> 01:12:50.200 i was in there twice 01:12:53.520 --> 01:12:59.240 it's i get blurry of that word inclusive mainly because that is 01:13:03.400 --> 01:13:04.240 it's 01:13:04.240 --> 01:13:13.420 corporate speak for uh waving the flag i guess i don't know it's just fucking creepy 01:13:15.460 --> 01:13:21.640 now this one's fun a television channel run by russia's ministry of defense 01:13:22.740 --> 01:13:27.240 is airing a program and it claims is ai generated 01:13:35.760 --> 01:13:41.040 according to advertisements for the show a neural network is picking the topics it 01:13:41.040 --> 01:13:47.300 wants to discuss then uses ai to generate that video it includes putting french president 01:13:47.300 --> 01:13:54.780 immanuel mac macaron macaroni in hair curlers and a pink robe making trump talk about golden 01:13:54.780 --> 01:14:04.300 toilets and showing eu commission president ursula von der lehen singing a soviet era pop song while 01:14:04.300 --> 01:14:12.600 working in a factory the show called polis stacker according to a google translation 01:14:13.320 --> 01:14:20.900 airs every friday on zvez a television station owned by russia's ministry of defense 01:14:21.440 --> 01:14:29.920 it's hosted by natasha an ai avatar modeled on russian journal journalist natalia matina 01:14:30.460 --> 01:14:38.880 in a clip of the show natasha said that it it's resemblance to matina matelina is intentional 01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:45.460 i am the creation of artificial intelligence entirely tuned to your informational preferences 01:14:45.460 --> 01:14:51.380 as said my task is to select all the political nonsense of the past past week and fit it into 01:14:51.380 --> 01:14:57.580 your in your heads like candles in a little box the show's title sequence and advertisements show 01:14:57.580 --> 01:15:04.700 cold wrapped candies candies bearing the faces of politicians like trump and zelinski being 01:15:04.700 --> 01:15:14.180 sorted into a candy box politz stacker politz stacker politz stacker how are you pronouncing 01:15:14.180 --> 01:15:19.380 this world's first television program created by artificial intelligence said an ad for the 01:15:19.380 --> 01:15:25.920 show on the russian social media network vk according to google translate the ai itself 01:15:25.920 --> 01:15:31.460 selects analyzes and comments on the most important news events facts and actions 01:15:31.460 --> 01:15:37.660 as it sees them this the editorial team's opinion may not coincide with the ai's 01:15:37.660 --> 01:15:43.280 though it usually it does politz stacker is not just news but a tough breakdown of political 01:15:43.280 --> 01:15:52.140 madness from a digital host who notices what others overlook data scientists keila licharu 01:15:52.140 --> 01:15:59.980 discovered the ai-generated russian show as part of his work with the gd elt project 01:16:00.680 --> 01:16:06.020 which collaborates with the internet archives tv news archive a project that scans and stores 01:16:06.020 --> 01:16:10.440 television broadcasts from around the world if you just look at the show and you don't 01:16:10.440 --> 01:16:16.600 didn't know it had ai associated with it you would never guess that it looks like a 01:16:16.600 --> 01:16:23.140 traditional propaganda show on russian tv television if they are using ai to the 01:16:23.140 --> 01:16:28.280 degree that they say they are even if it's just to pick topics they mastered that formula in a 01:16:28.280 --> 01:16:34.720 way that others have not politz stacker's 40-minute runtime is full of silly political commentary 01:16:35.320 --> 01:16:40.720 jokes and sloppy ai deepfakes that looked like they were pulled from a five-year-old instagram reel 01:16:41.380 --> 01:16:47.700 in one episode macron with curlers in his hair adjusts a linsky's tie ahead of a meeting in the 01:16:47.700 --> 01:16:55.560 gremlin later a smiling macron bearing six pack abs stands in a closet in front of a clown costume 01:16:55.560 --> 01:17:01.200 and a leather jumpsuit parts of it have an uncanny valley to it parts of it are really really 01:17:01.200 --> 01:17:08.240 good this is only their fourth episode and they're already doing deep fake interviews with world leaders 01:17:10.800 --> 01:17:17.100 in one of the ai generated trump interviews the american president talked about how he'd 01:17:17.100 --> 01:17:23.220 end the war in ukraine by building a casino in moscow with golden toilets and all the russian 01:17:23.220 --> 01:17:28.460 oligarchs they would all be inside all their money would be inside problem solved they would just 01:17:28.460 --> 01:17:33.880 play poker and forget about this whole war a very bad deal for them very distracting the deep fake 01:17:33.880 --> 01:17:40.580 trump said deep fake world leaders aren't new and are pretty common across the internet for each 01:17:40.580 --> 01:17:46.480 letero the difference is that there's this is airing on a state-backed television station 01:17:47.200 --> 01:17:53.200 it's still in in parody form but my knowledge no national television network show has ever gone 01:17:53.200 --> 01:18:00.600 this far today it's a parody video that's pretty clearly a comedy interview but you know how far 01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:06.900 they will take that and does that that inspire others to maybe step into spaces that they wouldn't 01:18:06.900 --> 01:18:13.660 have before trump also loves ai and the ai aesthetic government social media accounts often 01:18:13.660 --> 01:18:21.120 post ai generated slot pictures of trump as a pope or a jedi ice in the dhs shared pictures of 01:18:22.060 --> 01:18:28.080 unofficial channels that paint over the horrifying reality of the administration's immigration policy 01:18:28.080 --> 01:18:34.720 with a sheen of ai slot trump shared an ai generated video that imagined what gaza would look like 01:18:34.720 --> 01:18:40.120 if he built a resort there and he's teamed up with perplexity to launch an ai powered 01:18:40.120 --> 01:18:48.420 search engine for truth social politically stacker is not as a parody show but russia media is 01:18:49.380 --> 01:18:55.760 irussian media is experimenting with less comedic ai avatars as well earlier this year the state 01:18:55.760 --> 01:19:02.480 owned news agency sputnik began to air what is called the dugun digital edition in these little 01:19:02.480 --> 01:19:08.560 lectures an ai version of a russian philosopher alexander dugun discusses the news of the day 01:19:08.560 --> 01:19:15.240 in english last year a hawaiian newspaper the guardian island teamed with an israeli company 01:19:15.240 --> 01:19:21.840 to produce a news show on youtube staffed by ai anchors reactions to the program were overwhelmingly 01:19:21.840 --> 01:19:27.980 negative it brought in fewer than a thousand viewers per episode and the guardian garden island 01:19:27.980 --> 01:19:35.280 stopped making the show a few months after it began and a twist of fate liatra lietaro 01:19:36.120 --> 01:19:41.160 only discovered moscow's ai generated i pronounce that guy's name three different times 01:19:41.840 --> 01:19:46.380 three different ways and that of them sound right 01:19:49.860 --> 01:19:55.860 only discovered moscow's ai generated generated show thanks to an ai system of his own 01:19:56.920 --> 01:20:03.280 gd el t project is a massive undertaking that records thousands of hours of data from 01:20:03.280 --> 01:20:09.280 across the world and it uses various ai systems to generate transcripts translate them and create 01:20:09.280 --> 01:20:14.660 an index of what's been archived in this case i totally skimmed over what i thought was an ad 01:20:14.660 --> 01:20:20.220 for a propaganda show and then some candy commercial instead it ended up being something 01:20:20.220 --> 01:20:27.480 that's fascinating he said but his ai indexing tool noted vets says new show as an ai generated 01:20:27.480 --> 01:20:34.920 program that sought to analyze political follies of the of the outgoing week he took a second 01:20:34.920 --> 01:20:40.720 look and was glad he did that's the power of machines being able to catch things and and 01:20:40.720 --> 01:20:47.320 guide your eye towards that what he saw disturbed him yes his one show on an obscure russian 01:20:47.320 --> 01:20:53.580 government adjacent network using deep fakes for parody he said but the fact that a television 01:20:53.580 --> 01:21:00.140 network finally made that leap to me is a pivotal moment that i see as the tip of the iceberg 01:21:02.660 --> 01:21:14.360 yes this this this is what companies are using ai for they that did you actually think 01:21:17.540 --> 01:21:21.820 that open ai meta 01:21:24.260 --> 01:21:32.760 x e-line whatever is this thing is grok do you really think microsoft do you really 01:21:32.760 --> 01:21:41.860 think these major players that are developing ai do you really think they're doing this for the 01:21:41.860 --> 01:21:45.440 betterment of humanity as a whole 01:21:47.380 --> 01:21:54.360 no they're doing this for the corporations and companies that are going to be using them and 01:21:54.360 --> 01:22:11.810 paying them to use the ai to replace humans with youtube as as said they they've got youtube has got a 01:22:13.250 --> 01:22:18.730 thing where you can use gemini to create shorts with 01:22:20.290 --> 01:22:28.650 short videos short short form videos they want you to use that to create videos 01:22:30.430 --> 01:22:38.270 because youtube makes their money on advertising the more videos there are out there they don't 01:22:38.270 --> 01:22:46.230 how good they are what they look like they want you to use the ai to 01:22:48.010 --> 01:22:50.010 create videos that they can 01:22:52.890 --> 01:22:57.690 oh what's the word i'm looking for sell advertising on 01:23:00.710 --> 01:23:07.830 they want the eyeballs on their side out so they continue to tell their advertisers we get 01:23:08.510 --> 01:23:16.550 500 million views an hour on our site so this is how much your advertising is going to cost 01:23:19.890 --> 01:23:30.330 microsoft wants to use ai to get rid of their employees their tech support their 01:23:33.470 --> 01:23:36.750 they're writing their code for windows 01:23:39.290 --> 01:23:55.690 using ai ai is writing itself do you get it now they want tv stations networks 01:23:57.050 --> 01:24:05.870 movie producers movie companies production houses to use their ai to create entertainment 01:24:05.870 --> 01:24:18.620 it is yeah i mean it's 01:24:21.820 --> 01:24:28.080 yes i create i use ai to create music but i'm not doing 01:24:30.060 --> 01:24:40.760 if for the music the art i'm doing it to convey messages because i can convey a message 01:24:42.720 --> 01:24:51.700 much faster more memorable through a fancy music fancy music like for instance 01:24:53.100 --> 01:25:00.340 couple a month or so ago i played freedom camp fall freedom camp falls the first song 01:25:01.960 --> 01:25:09.060 that i ever released first day i generated song i ever released under the bike rebel name 01:25:13.080 --> 01:25:18.780 and it's also probably the shortest one i've ever done two minutes and 52 seconds 01:25:20.280 --> 01:25:29.640 um i did a remix of it check this out is freedom camp fall remix 01:25:32.400 --> 01:25:36.700 oh i hit the wrong i dropped the wrong one into the player let's use this one 01:26:45.480 --> 01:28:51.120 now that remix was a little longer than the two minutes of 52 seconds actually eight seconds longer 01:28:52.080 --> 01:28:52.440 no 01:28:55.100 --> 01:29:01.400 11 seconds longer sorry my math don't math because math is hard 01:29:03.360 --> 01:29:08.660 but it's you know still the point is the 01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:14.320 what's the point i'm looking for 01:29:16.700 --> 01:29:25.700 that my point is is i use use ai as a tool it's not i'm out there trying to 01:29:27.000 --> 01:29:32.540 i'm not trying to justify myself as being better than you know these other things because there 01:29:32.540 --> 01:29:40.340 are people out there that do ai music and try to fool you into thinking that it is 01:29:40.890 --> 01:29:47.580 an actual real person real people but the real use for ai and music i think 01:29:49.350 --> 01:30:01.580 any video too is well for video i could see ai being used to bring in audio podcast to life 01:30:02.460 --> 01:30:03.600 you know with uh 01:30:05.380 --> 01:30:16.020 bringing out the the person's not an avatar but you know to bring out the subject into a 01:30:19.920 --> 01:30:30.340 couldn't reach my bottle uh it brings the a person's story to life you know in a video point 01:30:32.260 --> 01:30:34.100 as far as ai for 01:30:36.020 --> 01:30:40.260 audio like music i see this as a tool 01:30:42.480 --> 01:30:47.700 first you know for inspiration because as a musician i've 01:30:50.700 --> 01:30:56.760 every every musician or artist even you know if it's no matter what your form is whether it's 01:30:56.760 --> 01:31:00.320 paint or sound uh 01:31:02.540 --> 01:31:08.540 you eventually do reach a point where you've got writer's block and you just sit there and stare 01:31:09.960 --> 01:31:16.840 into nothingness and can't come up with anything that's where ai would come in it could give you 01:31:16.840 --> 01:31:23.760 some inspiration you know like listening you know if you ever wanted if you're an actual real 01:31:23.760 --> 01:31:32.880 musician we like is a real band and you want to do you cover one of my songs or even 01:31:33.840 --> 01:31:40.680 you know claim it as your own go for it i don't care my stuff is out there there's 01:31:41.760 --> 01:31:48.420 you know i i'd say it's you know the creative commons copyright 01:31:48.420 --> 01:31:55.680 right i really don't care if you want to use it use it go for it um 01:31:56.940 --> 01:32:04.300 the thing that i find interesting that i haven't noticed whether or not anybody has yet or not 01:32:04.780 --> 01:32:14.900 but there is with su no you can if i think if you're a paid member but you might be able to do it 01:32:14.900 --> 01:32:19.060 you know without being a paid member you can use someone else's 01:32:20.620 --> 01:32:27.820 uh ai persona that they created like you know you could go grab you know bite rebel or mirror 01:32:27.820 --> 01:32:36.160 nocturne or chrome crucivix and grab one of their personas and do your own song with your own lyrics 01:32:37.560 --> 01:32:43.700 you know go for it i would love to hear it so if you do do it you know let me know 01:32:45.780 --> 01:32:51.440 but that's absolutely freaking awesome go for it 01:32:53.640 --> 01:33:04.960 but as far as you know why i use ai for music number one if i wanted to create this kind of music 01:33:06.360 --> 01:33:12.000 it would take me literally six months to a year or more 01:33:15.040 --> 01:33:24.240 to write the song record the song mix the song master the song get our work made for it 01:33:25.880 --> 01:33:33.820 release it you're looking at six minutes six months to a year to do all of that 01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:40.720 longer if you're really if you're the only one doing all of it 01:33:43.780 --> 01:33:47.240 then you would have to be forced you would be forced to sell it 01:33:47.860 --> 01:33:52.460 in order to pay for the way that people 01:33:54.300 --> 01:34:00.240 for the people who have worked on it with you if you use studio musicians or you used a 01:34:01.220 --> 01:34:06.540 paid mixing and mastering place you know i do all my own mixing and mastering so 01:34:06.540 --> 01:34:14.560 and suno's gotten good enough now that i don't really have to do much mixing at all 01:34:15.900 --> 01:34:23.520 the mixing i i do nowadays nowadays like it's been years the mixing i've been doing 01:34:24.180 --> 01:34:33.960 here recently the last couple of months is literally mostly mastering and that's just 01:34:33.960 --> 01:34:48.000 playing with the um sidechain compression and eq and compressor and giving the song a overall 01:34:49.080 --> 01:34:56.840 even sound i mean you listen to my listen to my music that i'm doing now compared to what 01:34:56.840 --> 01:35:10.800 i was doing a year ago the difference is night and day to where some of the songs that i did a year ago 01:35:11.470 --> 01:35:13.040 i want to go through and redo 01:35:17.300 --> 01:35:24.560 and no that kind of that's not going to do it for me because i i want to do new stuff new songs 01:35:24.560 --> 01:35:32.160 i'm really heavily into this chrome crucifix now persona you know by rebel is always going to 01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:47.080 have a part and you know my sound i guess you could call it they're the sounds that i'm trying to achieve 01:35:49.180 --> 01:35:58.720 but chrome crucifix is pretty much the kind of music that i want to produce and it's allowing me to get 01:35:58.720 --> 01:36:06.380 more into other things oh by the way i did say that i had two new by rebel songs i wanted to play 01:36:07.140 --> 01:36:10.280 i'm gonna play those real quick and get them out of the way 01:36:11.340 --> 01:36:17.900 not you know not not like i'm trying to meet a deadline or anything but i like these because i came up with 01:36:17.900 --> 01:36:33.160 these they were kind of just fun to do um some of you know that i am a huge team fortress two 01:36:33.160 --> 01:36:42.260 fan um it's literally the only game that i play religiously and both of these songs are about team 01:36:42.260 --> 01:36:57.720 fortress um one is rebel payload and the other is cloaked in chaos cloaked in chaos is you know 01:36:58.280 --> 01:37:05.740 the heaviest spy or that pyro is a pie you know that kind of that stuff where everybody's 01:37:05.740 --> 01:37:13.520 accusing the other teammates of being a spy and that's what cloaked in chaos is about 01:37:14.660 --> 01:37:22.840 the rebel payload is you'll you'll notice both of these songs they've got 01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:30.940 the overall theme of by rebel being a rebel against governments and big corporations 01:37:31.590 --> 01:37:41.020 but it's from the point of view of team fortress characters so so check this out 01:37:41.020 --> 01:37:45.960 i think these are both fun i just had fun doing these 01:44:25.990 --> 01:46:57.650 now you remember 01:46:57.650 --> 01:47:06.850 it was probably six months ago now uh played a song did a song called rock your freedom 01:47:07.250 --> 01:47:08.690 it was about uh 01:47:11.010 --> 01:47:22.170 guy getting accused from facial recognition of and a deep fake of robbing a place 01:47:23.130 --> 01:47:29.630 and something going wrong and killing somebody the guy gets put in a jail for a really long time 01:47:30.170 --> 01:47:39.830 and then he goes to trial the trial was held by a judge that was ai the you know the prosecutor 01:47:39.830 --> 01:47:48.330 and the the defense attorneys were both ai's on his behalf and and against him and he ended up 01:47:48.330 --> 01:47:54.490 getting in jail and this you know in the song and you know it's a fictional thing 01:47:57.330 --> 01:48:08.570 i wrote it now here from reclaim the net dot org september 11th 2025 01:48:10.570 --> 01:48:16.730 cardiff man wrongly accused of theft after facial recognition error triggers privacy 01:48:16.730 --> 01:48:24.150 complaint a shopping trip turned public shaming exposes the hidden dangers of algorithmic policing 01:48:24.970 --> 01:48:30.410 cardiff man has filed a formal complaint with the information commissioner's office after 01:48:30.410 --> 01:48:36.190 being wrongly accused of theft in a store using facial recognition software the case is now drawing 01:48:36.190 --> 01:48:41.610 wider attention to the unchecked spread of biometric surveillance in everyday retail environments 01:48:42.170 --> 01:48:50.350 on 29th of april 2025 byron long 66 arrived in the b&m outlet in cardiff bay retail park 01:48:50.350 --> 01:48:56.110 expecting an ordinary shopping trip instead he was approached by staff and told he was barred 01:48:56.110 --> 01:49:02.230 from the premises in front of other customers he was accused of stealing 75 pounds which is 101 01:49:02.230 --> 01:49:08.930 u.s. dollars worth of goods during a visit earlier that month that accusation was entirely 01:49:08.930 --> 01:49:15.970 false during the visit in question on april ninth long had bought a single item $9.50 a packet of 01:49:15.970 --> 01:49:22.450 cat treats he paid for them in full he later obtained cctv footage showing himself at the 01:49:22.450 --> 01:49:28.870 checkout in a red bull uniform you like one jacket clearly completing the purchase it was a horrible 01:49:28.870 --> 01:49:34.910 experience that i haven't been back to the store since the incident has had a very serious 01:49:34.910 --> 01:49:40.930 impact on my mental health which is very fragile anyway and i am now very anxious whenever i go 01:49:40.930 --> 01:49:48.730 shopping the miss misidentification came from face watch a private firm contracted by retailers 01:49:48.730 --> 01:49:54.530 to run facial recognition scans on customers images from long's previous visit were processed 01:49:54.530 --> 01:50:01.030 and matched to a database of alleged defenders that match triggered the alert that led b&m 01:50:01.030 --> 01:50:07.650 staff to accuse him b&m major later acknowledged the error issuing a written apology 01:50:11.170 --> 01:50:13.710 anyways i digress the point is 01:50:16.330 --> 01:50:25.050 we're putting our trust in machines when we need to be getting back to love each other 01:50:25.470 --> 01:50:34.250 not the machines love the humans respect the humans and having enough love and respect 01:50:34.930 --> 01:50:37.350 to take responsibility for yourself 01:50:41.530 --> 01:50:48.590 you will give more responsibility and respect and love for mothers 01:50:51.070 --> 01:50:59.010 so on that note i'm going to end the show with rock your freedom in honor of that last story 01:50:59.950 --> 01:51:06.910 it may not the story in real life they can go as far as the song does to the extent 01:51:08.050 --> 01:51:16.010 but it's still the same it's still the same idea that's how it's going to end up being 01:51:16.010 --> 01:51:18.390 just wait we're almost there 01:53:42.580 --> 01:53:47.720 on their screens but it ain't my crime what palleteers algorithms keep sticking my time
