Xi Jinping SUFFERED STROKE Says Viral Rumor, Video w/ Clyde Do Something
122m 41s
A viral rumor claims Chinese President Xi Jinping suffered a stroke at the BRICS summit, sparking global concern and debate over China’s political stability. While unverified, the claim highlights deep structural vulnerabilities in China’s leadership—lacking a clear succession plan and having purged potential rivals, leaving a power vacuum upon incapacity. This instability could trigger internal conflicts and economic disruption, potentially benefiting the U.S. as China’s global trade and manufacturing networks weaken. Meanwhile, geopolitical shifts are evident in Canada, where manufacturing is rapidly moving back to the U.S. due to trade policies, signaling a broader realignment of global supply chains. The discussion also reveals exploitative labor practices in developing nations, where low-wage work supports global tech and manufacturing. Advances in AI and automation are reshaping labor markets, enabling efficient task distribution and potentially reducing the need for human labor in routine tasks. However, this shift risks deepening societal disconnection, as young people increasingly seek validation through digital influence rather than meaningful work. Ultimately, the narrative underscores a world where economic interdependence has created both growth and exploitation, while technological progress may offer solutions—but only if paired with ethical governance and a reimagined sense of human purpose.
A viral rumor is circulating that Xi Jinping suffered a stroke at the BRICS summit, fainted
and was emergency evac'd back to China.
Now of course we're seeing a counterclaim.
These community notes are popping up saying no that didn't happen but they're not actually
approved so we don't know for sure but we'll check into this.
It may be nothing.
Modi apparently was speaking and then turns over and you can see the camera and something's
happening like is he is he all right and then all of a sudden we get this post from
this Chinese guy saying he suffered a stroke he's being rushed out of there it's got like
10 million hits and of course the challenge with all of this is dissidents in China have
every reason to claim that Xi Jinping is sick right they don't like the guy they want him
out at the same time the Chinese Communist Party is going to lie and say he's fine if
he isn't needless to say the rumor has over 10 million views everybody's talking about
it as it pertains to the BRICS nations of course this does have some of the most important
this will result in some overlap with the U.S. the Iran war and what is currently happening
especially with what's going on in Ukraine and whether Russia South Africa etc. will ever be
involved now we also heard the South African president was also sick and left so oh it's
kind of weird we'll talk about that then we got more news apparently a Democrat super PAC was
caught paying voters those are the allegations we will talk about that we got a lot more the DOJ is
going after these homeless fraudsters.
I'm going to talk about that in a minute.
I'm just reading about what some of the repercussions would be.
She's like the head of the military, and he's gotten rid of so many of his basically generals and what amounts to generals.
So if he is out of commission, it's unclear as to what the succession is, who's in charge of the Chinese military.
China's not really looking like they're looking to project force right now.
So I don't think that would mean there would be any kind of crazy invasion.
But it does call into question who's going to be running it.
Allegedly, there's supposed to be, what is it, the party's core is still loyal to Xi.
But China's really run by Jinping, right?
There's not a lot of other people that are powerful in the company.
They all answer directly to him.
He's gotten rid of anybody that wasn't loyal to him.
He is a dictator on par.
Yeah.
With Putin.
So there's going to be, and there's all kinds of internal things going on in China right now that obviously we don't know a lot of details about.
But, you know, this is, it's a big thing for China.
What's weird to me is that there could be such a person that in, like, Xi Jinping strokes out and faints, and everyone's kind of like, oh, no, what do we do?
Isn't there someone, like, there's going to be power struggles.
People are going to be like, I'm in charge.
No, I'm in charge.
You think you'd have a medical team, like, with them on staff just in case?
Something like that happened.
How old is that guy?
Good question.
It is one of the weaknesses of monarchy.
Having a single ruler, if something happens to him, the whole country is just like, what next?
And there's a lot of ambitious people that have already decided what they're going to do as soon as they get a chance.
So Xi broke the secession machine.
He never groomed a stable successor.
And China got, like, the chaos of the Gang of Four after he died.
Because Mao did the same thing.
I'm sorry.
Mao didn't.
Mao did the same thing that Xi did.
Or Xi did the same thing that.
Mao did.
Xi did the.
He eliminated term limits in 2018.
Purged the sideline.
Every plausible successor.
Concentrated power so completely in himself that there is no designated number two with legitimacy.
He's incapacitated.
If he's incapacitated, there's no clean handoff.
That's, you know, just going to kind of leave a vacuum.
And obviously there will be, you know, power struggles inside the Chinese Communist Party for who's going to take his place.
So the anti-corruption campaign that Xi.
Kind of went on like it.
It basically destroyed hundreds of senior officials and military officers.
If he's seen as vulnerable, those networks and the families of the purge have enormous incentive to move against him or against the people who carried out the purges on his behalf.
Gordon Chang rumored to be Bo Zhao and Zhao Yongkang being freed.
If true, it would be a massive signal that someone is already doing this.
The military is a wild card.
All these things are happening now.
Well, if it says that if Xi is actually incapacitated and or he dies.
Right.
Because there's no one to take his place right now.
He doesn't have someone lined up.
So these are just things that that could possibly that would be likely if he's out of commission, which it seems like he is right now.
But obviously we don't have any.
We create a huge power vacuum.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Would it end up being like the 90s and when Soviet Union basically.
Yeah.
But we our economy, if China collapses, the U.S. economy will skyrocket so rapidly.
Like poor people will wake up one day covered in gold.
Chains and what I mean by that is so many second world nations and I'm using that in the actual.
So for those are not familiar, these are the during the Cold War.
The first world was the United States and Soviet Union.
The second world where their satellites in the third world were unaligned.
So all of the countries that rely on China for resources that China trades with will all of a sudden have no trading partner.
So if China does collapse, if Trump cuts them off, China collapses, there's gonna be a bunch of nations going, hey, we need stuff.
And we can't get it done.
We can't get it anywhere.
This is what happened after World War Two, because basically U.S. industrial rivals were flattened.
So the U.S. was pumping out industrial like, you know, cars, for instance, like crazy.
Everybody's buying everything from us.
The Soviet Union was strangling their own people in stupid ways so they couldn't compete.
So we did fairly well.
And then after the Soviet Union collapsed, the 90s was the mass.
What is it?
The largest economic expansion in U.S. history.
Yeah.
Now we're competing with China and she is outright telling us we are going to win.
So I'd have to imagine.
If she does stroke out, if there is a power vacuum and a struggle and it destabilizes leadership and they're cut off from oil because of the straight of Hormuz and what Trump is doing, people might wake up being like the economy just got real good for some reason.
They're not going to know why.
Yeah.
Because there's way too many steps between what happens to, you know, a major global manufacturer and how we produce and what we produce.
But the U.S. will need to pick up manufacturing ASAP.
We're not necessarily geared to do it.
So I'm not literally saying they'll wake up with gold chains.
There's a huge lag there, though.
So and we're witnessing this happen in real time because of what's happening with Canada.
So Canada is going through this trade war that they're insisting on having with the United States.
And what it's doing is it's actually getting because of Donald Trump's tariffs, which he rightfully put in place, by the way.
Manufacturing is leaving Canada and it's coming to the United States.
And it's doing it at a rapid pace.
But at the same time, you can't just pick up a factory today.
Yeah.
One of the big criticisms against Donald Trump was, well, it didn't turn into new jobs.
Well, those jobs would take two, maybe three years to come online.
So you'll see it down.
Start coming.
Start coming online.
That's right.
So maybe maybe a simple manufacturing process.
It could come on within like a year and a half kind of thing.
But, you know, we're talking about 40 percent of Canadian manufacturing is moving to the United States.
Really?
Forty percent.
Wow.
This is from the National Post.
Wow.
Forty percent of Canadian national or Canadian manufacturing.
And that's not enough.
We need more.
And 70 percent of that, 40 percent is bound to do that in the next two years.
Yeah.
So that's just incredible.
So if we saw something like this happening in China, for example, if China collapsed, which it's very much poised to do because of basically what what's happened in their real estate market.
They've had this tremendous real estate bubble where people are investing in in apartments and in cities that are that nobody lives in.
Right.
And there's a whole cultural reason for that.
But that's all collapsing as well.
As well, at the same time as all this.
So if there was a power struggle, that'd be really bad for China.
And like you said, Tim, good for Canada or good for America.
It would actually be bad for Canada, too, because Canada has been been I mean, obviously, Canada is not like buddy buddy with China, but they've been moving towards China and away from the U.S.
as you know, as the tensions with the United States has been going on for much longer.
Oh, has it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
So like a lot of a lot of Canadian conservatives will say, well, you know, Trudeau brought us closer to China.
It was.
It was Stephen Harper that came before that, who brought along the Trans-Pacific Partnership.
This is like another free trade agreement like NAFTA or the North American Free Trade Agreements.
And it would.
But it was focused on Asia.
So to bring basically what Canada did and Mexico did to take away jobs from America, China was trying to do to Canada.
Yeah.
And it was just absurd.
Right.
But that happened under a conservative.
This happened over 15 years ago.
Right.
So that happened.
And then Justin Trudeau came in.
It accelerated.
Accelerated it.
And then now under Mark Carney, he's doing that.
But plus Europe now, which is just bonkers.
Yeah.
So Canada is China's China is Canada's second largest trading partner after the U.S.
About 100 billion or more in annual two way trade.
Canada exports canola, canola, lumber, potash, seafood, pork and increasingly energy.
China buys it all in huge volumes.
In January, 2026, new PM, Mark Carney flew to Beijing, his first major foreign trip, and signed a strategic partnership roadmap to expand those ties, including energy, clean tech and marketing.
And he was able to get a deal with China.
He was able to get a deal with China.
a neurodoctor and we want our manufacturing to come back. We want to reshore. But at the same
time, we also there's you know, you have access to the world's biggest economy at no cost. There
needs to be a cost. You know, you can move your manufacturing here and there's no tariffs or you
can stay in your home country. But there's a there's a barrier to entry into it. There's a
there's a ticket price. And that after negotiations, every country got 10 percent. And just recently
in the negotiations with Canada, they were offered less than 10 percent. They were offered
like seven percent, possibly five. We don't know because Mark Carney won't say what the details
are. But on a political move, he just like literally at the last minute backed out.
What one of the issues I take with trade with Canada is that aluminum manufacturing is the
greatest example of I'm sorry, refineries. Canada doesn't have bauxite mines. We we don't need to
get.
That from Canada. And the argument is the labor is cheaper and their energy costs. This is not
correct. The real the real issue is that we would have to build these refineries, which would cost
us money when when when I hear this argument and they say, well, the issue is that energy is cheaper
in Canada. That's that's that's that's just technically correct because we haven't build
the systems in which we can power these refineries. You get you get hydroelectric, you get solar or
you get some low cost energy. We can run refineries with our own bauxite from Louisiana.
We intentionally gave and I believe this was trade negotiations intentionally.
OK, Canada, we're going to give you manufacturing to guarantee you have a trade with the United
States so that it'll help your economy. And it goes even beyond that. So it's this idea of
globalism is the idea of, you know, moving some of your your manufacturing to other countries
so that you become dependent on those other. Exactly. Exactly. And this is the this is the
liberal economic order after World War Two said create trade dependencies, prevent war. And it
actually work. What we need to do is what's called a refactor of our economic strategy. We can't pull
out. It's impossible to extricate our our our global because they intentionally intertwine
the economy so that we can't undo it. They basically made a chemical reaction that can't
be undone. They burned us together with the foreign countries to try and create this unimine,
this global system. But what we can do is refactor it. Refactoring and coding is when you
change the software code in the back end. But what the players see, nothing changes in the game. You
can't tell.
But the entire back end was rewritten so we can rewrite our economic strategy and rewrite the way
that we build things with like modern industrial factories and stuff without losing any of the
output. But we need to we need to really get on how we're going to refactor out of the global
conundrum. Unless you guys want to rely on foreign countries, if you want a global economy, which we
can do, I don't see how we can do that.
I don't see a real downside to a global economy. There's a lot of upside to it. You know, I don't want
to. I think American hegemony is important because I like the Bill of Rights. As long as we can hold
on to that, I think a global economy is a great idea. But I don't want corporations overseeing
who gets to say what.
I just think I learned a powerful lesson in economics and policy. There is no reality where
the noble hegemonic power creates a trade balance like this liberal economic order idea. And then
all the countries in the world are going to be like, oh, we're going to have to do this. We're
the world hold hands and sing songs under a rainbow. When the United States becomes this
hegemonic power, but they decide to use soft power and negotiate and go with economic strategy,
we'll create trade dependencies. What happens? Canada rips us off. What happens? China rips us
off. We did all this trade with China. You get these 50 years of liberal economic order policy
where they say, we're going to send our factories overseas to China, create dependencies, and then
there won't be war. What does China do? They're militarizing. They're expanding their control of
the South China Sea. They're sinking civilian ships in the region. They're claiming it belongs
to their country. The funniest thing is they draw dotted lines around it when they put it on
in their media. We don't do that with our ocean, with our coastlines. We don't draw dotted lines
to make sure. They're doing it because they're asserting it to you culturally. These ideas,
we're going to create a dependency, and then we won't go to war. Then we get ripped off by every
single country as they laugh all the way to the bank. Then what happens? China militarizes. They
say, we win. You have no power. Don't fight us. What was the point of negotiating in this way and
trying to be this soft power trade friend? I'm stronger than you, so I'll be nice. Then they go
behind the scenes and whisper. The moment we get a chance, the knife goes in the back.
Absolutely. It's very much the metaphor of if we offload our intelligence onto AI systems,
AI system would be the China in this situation. Then where's our intelligence reside? In some
foreign corporation's intelligence systems. If we offload our intelligence into AI systems,
intelligence systems, if we offload our value into another system, then how do you ever get it back
without restarting? Every other society, aside from Western civilization, looks at the world
through realpolitik. It's all real politics. What is best for your country? What is best for your
people? That's what you do. If it means that you deceive other people, then that's what you do.
That's the way the whole world, save for Europe and the United States and Canada and
New Zealand and Australia, that's the way that the whole world behaves. To be honest with you,
at the very least, even if the United States doesn't want to behave like that,
the politicians that make deals with other countries, they should behave as if that is
the way that they are going to behave. They should know. They should go into any negotiation
knowing that they're going to try to screw you. Well, I think it's true that you should
prioritize and be willing to deceive to protect your citizens. But also, sometimes the best way
to help your citizens is to build a water well in Afghanistan, is to help the other countries.
That actually empowers you. So you never know. Sometimes it's to deceive the other countries.
I think it should be primary motive. The only point that I'm making is that the politicians
that are doing foreign policy, that are working with other countries, they should make sure that
it should be people that understand that you cannot take other countries.
Especially from other societies at their word.
But here's the important thing that everyone needs to understand. I'll ask you this question,
Ian. When did slavery end?
Oh God, it still exists.
Exactly. And who benefits from that slavery?
The slavers. I mean, corporations, big time in the modern era.
Who benefits from that slavery?
We do now because we have telephones.
We do. Indeed. So the people who are mining sulfur where the teeth fall out of their mouths
because we need sulfur for electronic components and medical stuff,
go to any one of these lefties who's like, health care is a human right, and be like,
how many slaves should die to make that MRI machine, do you think?
They're like, what are you talking about? It's like, listen, man,
you live off the backs of slaves in foreign countries. I get it. I'm not saying it's good.
But I don't understand how there is a world that doesn't exist without people who are low skill,
low comprehension, and they want to do whatever work they can to trade. So if there's a guy with
an IQ of 77,
and he lives in some, you know, Middle Eastern country or Central Asian country,
what job can he do? And so what happens is these big corporations come and they say,
look, we'll give you a quarter per hour, a quarter per hour to go mine that sulfur.
It's the only thing you can really do. And what we've heard for a long time is,
and I'm not describing morality to this, neither condemning nor condoning,
although not a lot of people would condemn it. There's an interesting question.
When you go to these people who are mining the sulfur, their teeth fall out of their mouths,
they shove rags in their mouths.
Because we need these, like cobalt too, for instance, or lithium, right? In Afghanistan.
Cobalt in Africa. Yeah, the Congo.
Cobalt in Africa. These people, they're not going to be managers. They're not even gonna be farmers.
The one thing they can do is they can go collect the rocks from the quarry.
And when you give them, say, a quarter per hour, that means they get a whole cheeseburger every
hour they work. And to them, that's a rarity. It's hard to come by. You're not going to take
this person and bring them to a SF.
You know, data company, you know, AI company and say, help us train the AI. They're going to be
like, what? I don't even know math. And so what you end up with is companies seek the opportunity
to find this. I wouldn't call it slave labor, but there is slave labor for sure, where you have
countries that basically enslave their people and the government then trades the materials.
And then we act like we're not involved in the slave trade because, well, we just bought it
from the government, right? The slave trade is so much closer to home, though. It's happening
right in Canada, right under everybody's nose. Yes.
It's crazy. The United Nations did a report, I think, a year and a half ago where they said that
slavery is actually occurring in Canada right now. Like labor slavery.
Yeah. They have a temporary foreign worker program where they bring people in and a majority of them
come from like one place in Pakistan, not Pakistan, sorry, in Punjab, in India. And they're
bringing them over under these fake auspices of just coming in temporarily. But they're telling
these people,
you're going to come to Canada and you're going to have a brand new life and it's going to be,
you know, the Western world. It's going to be fantastic. But meanwhile, they're all just in
like Brampton, Ontario. Right. Yeah. But how much you want to bet these people are like, this is
great. No, no, no. These people are literally stacked like 12 to a house and put in like
voluntary slavery. Yeah. So they're brought there and then told they can't leave.
So it's indentured servitude, right? But the point I'm making,
is when you go to a central Asian country where a guy is eating dirt and say, I'll give you two cheeseburgers per day, if
you go and mine he's going to be incentives are totally oh thank god if you said to somebody i'm
going to take you out of this central asian country and bring you to ontario where you're
going to work 20 hours a day but there's clean running water there's air conditioning you're
going to live in a dorm room with 12 other guys and like only 12 wow and you're gonna have four
cheeseburgers these this is the issue that people need to understand as it pertains to how the world
works again neither condemning nor condoning just pointing it out yeah when you so when we're the
sweatshop debates you know over the past 30 years and everyone's like you know this shoe company
whichever shoe company is paying like 10 cents an hour to these kids to make the shoes so the
activists get those factories shut down and the people in the country were upset about it because
they were so much worse off when exactly that being said i'd much prefer we make the shoes
here in america pay an american wage and the shoes are more expensive
my point is i obviously have my opinions on this stuff i think it's bad what i'm saying is if you
go to these countries and you tell them you're getting ripped off they'll be like please don't
take it from me like i'll give you an example ukraine there are people uh so i i having traveled
ukraine having friends there people who are getting paid to do development like code and
they get paid a third of what an american gets paid and they were happier than pigs in ish
because they were getting paid more three times more than the average
ukrainian to do this dev work and when you tell them you know in america they get paid three
times this they go well i don't live in america i'm not american yeah but i mean they could pay
you more it's like hey look man don't take this from me like i'm living really well right now
please so there's this attitude where the left would say it's exploitation and then take from
them something they desperately need or want because they don't have the same standard of
living as we do my attitude is stop hiring foreign workers when you can hire american
workers at higher wages and we could strengthen our economy and because of the outsourcing of
these these other countries to lift up their standard of living even at a lower cost
corporations have extracted value from the american the american labor market
sent the value overseas and they've been bankrupting us over a long period of time
that's another conference we don't need indian coders anymore we don't need coders at all sorry
coders you just gotta learn how to design i mean we have machines you know i really love about it
it's just like h1b is like yeah goodbye a huge sector was people coming in just doing the the
mule work and writing the code they read the design element from the
review team and then they'd remember that remember that you don't need them anymore remember that
company that claimed to be ai app development but it was just 500 indian dudes no no yeah you remember
that one right phil yep it was like this company and it was like we use ai to code your apps just
you submit to us the app you want to build and then we'll have the i build it but it was actually
just a bunch of indian guys i want to find out oh easily i could i could run an app design and
development company it would cost me six thousand dollars a month i i i apps a month i'm going to
stress this right now this is new stuff um the the astra
and fable like latest releases in ai the switch has been flicked yeah because before before these
two models literally three weeks ago this stuff was not possible in this way we still need mining
because you need human whatever humans do you still need humans to go do the physical move the
atoms around that's something elon musk was that's a way he was explaining it but anything digital i
mean technically it's still atoms moving around but anything digital man is just gone yeah you
can do things like um you can separate people from the actual physical task so
a lot of mining operations they're going you know manless now so they have you know excavators that
go underground and they're they're manned from a office way up top yep and one one guy can you know
instead of running one dump truck they could have one guy running a fleet of dump trucks because he's
only necessary for the intricate part of that operation the rest of the drive is just autopilot
ah bro it's it's everyone's going to be homer simpson right what's going to happen is you're
going to have a fleet of dump trucks and you're going to be sitting there
eating donuts and there's going to be that bird drinking the water and they're going to be like
your job is to look at the screen and if it turns red just press the button he's like okay and it's
never going to turn red and that just means like one of the dump trucks got stuck in an intersection
or something and you like you need to tell somebody now the argument there is that you know
and we heard this we heard this years ago when you know the uh industrial revolution happened
you had the aristocracy or the the you know the the thinkers of the time saying well we're going
to have all these useless eaters
you know when they mechanized uh farming we're going to have all these useless eaters what are
we going to do with the people well they all found different shit to do that actually i and
they opened up new markets in the economy i actually don't agree i don't agree with that
you don't no no no no yeah no the idea that uh it's like oh people will find new things to do
what were those new things they found to do it's what are some examples of the new things
so since the industrial revolution when people were occupied with with uh homemaking and labor
a dramatic escalation in cultural endeavors that have been, I don't necessarily want to say
degenerate because not all of it is completely morally degenerate. Rock and roll. But as time
goes on, the services that people are creating as an effort to do something of value have largely
been bad, have largely been degenerate. And it's a gradient, right? So you can say, all right.
As a result of mechanization of farming, right? Well, as a component, yes. Right. So we used to
all have to work every day and we didn't. It's not it was our jobs. So you were a farmer. You
might be a tailor or, you know, a luthier, perhaps there was something you made or did
for the people around you. And then we mechanized. And all of a sudden there were extra people who
didn't have to do anything. There's some good that came out of this in that more specialties
opened the door to.
To rapid expansion of technology. The only thing is there's more people than there are
specialties. Today is the best example. I can go. I'll go back in time and just say the emergence
of the rapid expansion of arts and movies began a rapid cultural degradation. And I'm not saying
it's completely bad, but it changed this country in crazy ways where you end up with the rise of
communism. Not that long after we have industrialization, because now you have young
people who have extreme wealth for minimal labor. Whereas what is it? Was it idle hands of the
devil's playground? People have nothing to do. Feel purposeless. And today you can see the
exponential explosion of this. So again, go back to the time of industrialization and it's a relief
for a lot of people. But why? Because those people are the blossomed flowers of manual labor. The
society back then were people who understood the value of hard work and got relief. They said,
holy crap, not everybody. Some people did lose their jobs. The Luddites were very angry about
all of this and it got violent. But for a lot of people that grew up on hard work, the relief
through industrialization was like, wow, I'm making more money. Like, what can I do? Well,
they had children. Those children grew up with no purpose. We used to have purpose. It was like,
I got to wake up. I got to, I got to tend to the chickens. If I don't, who will? Otherwise we die.
And that purpose meant something.
What I'm saying is everybody desperate to be an influencer, which is the extreme end.
Because again, I'll say this immediately after industrialization, it's not like the end of the
world because it's just kicking off. But as this spreads and expands, you now have a massive
country of people who would rather be YouTubers than astronauts. That was the poll they did of,
I think it was what, Gen Z. So like, since like seven years ago, they said, what do you want to
be when you grow up? Chinese kids were like, I want to be an astronaut. I want to go to the stars.
And Americans were like an influencer because there's no purpose anymore.
real job. That produces no value. I'm going to say this. There is, again, a gradient. Some people
speak truth to power, whatever that means, and there is value in enlightening ideas and allowing
people to experience thoughts and ideas and even vocabulary they had not experienced before. But
that's not true of literally everybody. What's happening now is if you're Gen Z, what job do
you have to get right now? And this is a reality for Gen Z. There's very little jobs that are
valuable. So what do they want to do? The easiest thing I can do, I guess, is talk a lot and try and
be a character. This is not good for this country that people are like, if I can be the most
shocking, people will look at me. It used to be if I could paint the best picture. Cultural, like
artists died broke and their art became value after the fact. Going back in time, artists were
not celebrated in the same way.
Then you get a group of people that say, you know what? If I'm the best musician that writes
inspirational music that makes life worth living, then I'm going to make money. Now it's, I click
the button and it's shots, shots, shots, shots. That's not even culturally empowering or
inspirational. It's degenerate. We've gotten to the point where there's way too many people,
way too desperate with no purpose. And the only thing left to do is human emotion. And what I
mean by that is to be an influencer right now is, I'll give you an example. I'm going to give you
a couple examples. Brian Shapiro is a great example. You know, Brian? No, I don't. And I say
this with Brian knowing I'm, he knows that I criticize him for this, but I do still consider
him a friend because I think it's important. We, we, we tell our friends, these things,
Brian's personality that he is building is based on being the most vitriolic political personality
possible beat red, screaming and insulting you over your political views. Because if you are
a common rationed political commentator and nobody's going to watch you,
you're not, you're not embodying the passion that people want to see striking down a symbol
of their oppressor. And you are also not presenting any kind of emotion.
emotional entertainment outside of what they would normally get at the water cooler.
They either want someone to strike that hammer against their oppressor. That's what Brian is
doing for the left. Or they want to laugh at you being beat red. So when Brian's screaming,
young people are going to watch me like this guy's crazy. You know what I mean?
That's not healthy or good for this country. So one of the things, though, about that is,
yes, you're right. People are aiming in the wrong direction. But there are jobs. The jobs
are actually there. So I'm a tradesman, Red Seal certified in Canada for automotive repair.
There are nobody applying for these jobs. And there are every shop where I moved from in
Squamish, British Columbia, was looking for apprentices. I'm 44.
Oh, wow. You're like 36.
Thank you. Thank you. Well, so I'm a master technician. And I love teaching people this
stuff.
And it was great. Any chance we had to have an apprentice. But it was rare to have an
apprentice. Back in the day, every technician would have two apprentices going. One would be
on first year. One might be third or fourth year. And that was an ongoing thing. What I think is
there's a serious problem with trying to attract people into actual meaningful work, like you were
saying. And, you know, being a tradesperson is actual meaningful.
You know, whether you're a mechanic or a plumber or electrician. And believe me, those jobs pay
bank. They do. But does that mean purpose? And what I mean by that is so a younger Gen Z person
doesn't feel that if they get a job as an automotive technician, they can go to their
friends and say, look at me. I'm an automotive technician. They're going to be like, how many
followers do you have? Because that's the culture and society we built around these systems.
You can sort of get away with both in amalgam because a lot of people miss the
mark and started to think that being an influencer was the end goal. But the question you always have
to ask is what am I influencing people to do? What is my life worth and value? What do I do that is
worth showing that in influencing people with it? Are you an actor? Are you a mechanic? Do you paint
things? Do you do you write stories? Like what are you doing that is worth then augmenting it with
internet video? But nobody thinks that. I hope they start. Nobody, nobody who wants to be an
influencer. When I say nobody, I'm being hyperbolic. Obviously, a few amount of people like in fact,
Ian, it's one of the.
The only things you I think I shouldn't say it like that, but it's something that you very much focus on. What does it mean when we go on this show and say something and how will that impact people down the line? There's very few people who have that that self reflection to recognize that what we are saying is going to ripple. They just think I got a thousand views and they don't know or care that it's going to result in 12 people rippling that hatred and anger outward and it's going to keep reflecting.
If we could gamify.
monetize that understanding. So, you know, the more good you do for society, the more you're
going to get paid on the back end. This is why I was saying, like, I'm done being angry. I'm done
with angry people. Obviously, passion will still be there. But I don't think there is value in me
going to, you know, like I all day I'm watching these liberal, you know, shorts and Instagram
posts and videos. And they're just nasty people because they're like, this is how you get
attention. And I'm like, well, when you go online and you say, you know, you call someone, see you
next Tuesday, like I did, all that does is make that person reflect that back and all of their
followers reflect that back. And it comes back tenfold, not just to me, but everybody around me.
And that's why I did apologize for that twice, in fact. But that probably doesn't even matter.
And it's not some cancel culture apology. I have no reason to do that. Like, no one's
going to come to my come for my job because I just said it's ungentlemanly.
And
and
, you know, especially now, I'm like that that insult will hit somebody. They will amplify it
to their to their benefit. I'm the victim or whatever it may be. Then it's going to ripple
against a whole bunch of other people who are going to amplify it. And that one word is going
to reflect back on millions of people. And I'm like, that's just a bad day. Yeah. So so I don't
think I'm going to be the one who can change all that. But I will tell you this. I tweeted I'm done
being angry. And Elon Musk responded, I'm not. And that says a lot coming from the guy who owns
the platform.
who is directing how its algorithm decides who gets seen.
I hope his, I want to hang with him, man.
I hope he doesn't let anger,
Elon, if it's clouding your judgment,
homie, we got your back, bro.
We're building out the ultimate corporate governance system with X.
You're going to be okay.
Your son's going to be fine.
Things are going to work out.
We're here with you.
Let's go crazy and we'll jump to this story from Defense One.
The Pentagon must prepare for battles around the moon.
Yeah.
Joint Chiefs Chair.
Days after orbital weapons were revealed,
General Dan Cain ups the scope of the military's desired reach.
See, what people need to understand is that
when the colonists came from any nation to this land,
they did not come here in exploratory vehicles
with smiles on their faces.
They brought weapons with them.
They intended for there to be a potential for conflict.
And I don't mean Christopher Columbus
accidentally landing in the Bahamas thinking he was in India.
I mean, the colonists who were like,
hey, we're going to come to the,
we know there's people there.
We're going to fight.
We go to the moon.
You better, you better expect a fight.
Oh yeah, ballistics and lasers.
I mean, you're going to need to penetrate metal armor in space with ballistics.
And you're also going to need to be able to penetrate magnetic field shields with laser.
Like, you'll use lasers to hit, to melt metal in space.
But if they have shields, you'll have to use ballistics to get through the shield.
The shields will block the lasers.
We are.
We are.
We are not going to have.
We'll start with ballistics.
The directed energy weapons capable of melting metal.
Oh, we will.
Ian, Ian, Ian, think about it.
Without a lot of heat in space.
Well, hold on, hold on.
If you're talking about like large scale lunar base artillery
with massive solar generators that can point an infrared laser and hold it, sure.
But if you're talking about like U.S. vessels and orbital satellites, they're not.
It's all going to be ballistic at first.
No, it's not.
Shooting bullets and stuff.
Bringing armor into space.
You're going to try and shoot satellites.
Well, yeah, but you're not going to armor these things, right?
Because armor is literally just dead weight.
Yeah, it's going to be hard to get into space.
You might have like a satellite that orbits around a satellite that is like an armored dome.
But no, everything about getting into space is weight versus thrust.
You don't like that's part of the reason.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
But we will send payloads of raw materials to the moon base.
They will then harvest materials from the moon and armor after the fact.
But that's going to, that's, that's, you know, decades out because you're not going to bring armor up.
Like you're not going to, you have to build it.
No, no, no, no.
I actually think you're, you're, you're right.
And I correct my earlier assessment.
Ian's right about the directed energy weapons.
Sending ordnance to space is ridiculous.
If they are able to only have to set up energy harvesting and they can use infrared lasers to,
to overheat, not even, not melt the metal, but if your vessel is orbiting and they point at it, they can start a fire.
Oh yeah.
Set it off track, maybe knock it out of this, but you need both because a blade of armor will protect against ballistics.
But if they have like magnetic shields, your lasers won't be able to melt them.
I'm just waiting for rods from God already.
I'm so bored.
You know,
every time we literally talking about building the death star here, you know what they're talking about?
From God, our arming space force was that what it's at now?
We're militarizing space.
They already did.
So when it comes to this stuff, they're like big armor is not something that's going to protect you.
Space well, it's ballistics.
Well, when you, when you look at it, like what, what does it take to survive in space?
It's some intricate equipment.
So all you got to do is flick the most vulnerable point on that.
So you just have to, you know, I, you know, honestly, you could, you could take out a spaceman with a, with a crowbar.
Yeah.
But not only that, Ian, I also want to stress, they could use, um, centripetal force cannons because the friction is so low in the
gravity's light, they can just effectively wind up and throw slings.
Yeah, no, I'm not, there's not joke.
Right.
Another, another form of, they can take a moon rock and put it in a sling.
If you played like space games, you'll, you'll know most games have it split up.
So you have your, your armor, your hall damage, you can take your armor and then you have your shields and shields can go down if they're overloaded, but generally they'll protect against lasers.
Right now, right now there's money, money for charity says Gundams gun.
Yeah.
We're going to build gigantic iron man robots to fly around space with a sword.
That is the coolest idea.
But I mean, again, like it's all, all of the.
Yeah.
Everything right now, the reason they can't get, get like massive or the reason they don't bring massive things into space is because every pound you have to have a certain amount of rocket fuel to get it into space.
Are you going to be here on Friday?
Yeah.
Cause, uh, Dave, the flat earth guy and Alex Stein are going to be here.
Okay, good.
Okay.
Good rock.
Um, let's have that conversation, but you're right.
You either need a space elevator, which they're making advancements on the tether.
They think they might have a graphene tether, so you could start elevating stuff up in orbit, or you've got to build it.
You build it in orbit and that's what drone construction will be for like swarm construction, you'll, you'll unleash like 70,000 drones that all work in an organized pattern to build this thing really fast in a low gravity.
Right now, the goal or the, the, the most likely plan is starship.
That's what Musk is talking about.
I just saw the other day, he was talking about 10,000 flights a year of starship, right.
From obviously multiple bases, but that's like, I forget what the math was, but it's like, like 70 or 80 a day.
Is that just to transport materials?
Just to get material, just to get material into space, to build them, to build a moon base.
Yeah.
Let me, let me, let me stress this point.
We have 8 billion people and if we could officially.
Yeah.
have these people do labor, I mean like properly managed, we wouldn't just go to the moon. We'd
terraform every planet in our solar system and then some. The issue is some 80% of humans are
not specialized. And so many of them are doing nothing. We're providing food and resources
through charities and through education, but these people haven't been specialized for key tasks.
You need to prioritize their compute and you need them to organize their compute. So you need people
just like AIs that you spin up, you need them to be doing something valuable, spending their
thought power on completing, and you need them to be able to communicate with other humans
accurately so that other humans know what they're doing. Otherwise you get overlap of work and you
have to undo stuff. And if we can do that with the human race, which I do with AI every day.
I think this is one of the reasons why Elon wants AI so badly. It's a handful of things.
It's going to help rapidly develop technologies that are needed. It's going to control many of
these things. Vehicles and ships without human input, meaning they can start ferrying. The thing that people do
now with vibe coding, imagine doing that with terraforming Mars, where you're like, look,
here's the Optimus bots. Here's the space station. We need enough supplies for 6,000 humans to live
60 years. Go do it. And you don't need to plan. The machine does it in the most efficient way.
But one of the other reasons is that the AI is going to make efficient the human labor.
And the example that I gave a few years ago, one of the things that I said,
one of the future visions I have for this is there will be an app and it'll be called like
the job app or something, jobber. And you'll open it up and you'll be like, I need work today.
And you'll say like, hey, I'm looking for a job. The AI will say, here's a job that's available.
And it'll go like this. Let me pull this thing. It'll say,
take, walk down to seventh and L and grab this cube from this man. And it's Ian holding a cube.
And you go, I,
I accept. And then you walk down the street. There's Ian. He walks up and he goes, this is for
you. And you go, what is it? And he goes, no idea. You go, eh, me neither. Then you look at the app
and it goes, 50 bucks. And then it goes now for the next 50 bucks, deliver it to this address,
three blocks away. And you go, sure. You knock on the door and there's a guy and he goes,
you got the thing. I got the thing. Here you go. That's it. I'm done. You made a hundred bucks in
20 minutes. You have no idea what you did or how it affects anything. But the AI was building
something. You didn't need to know what it was building. What's more efficient,
calling a courier, having that courier ride his bike to the stop, pick it up,
ride it to your address and drop it off. Or the factory that made it hands it to a guy who was
already walking down the street, hands it to a lady who's crossing the street, who hands it to
you as you're walking towards that building. It's basically finding all the gaps in energy and
transmission. The AI will do it much faster and more efficiently. Now it's, it's the McDonald's
method on steroids in the, uh, the founder that, that it's a great movie, by the way, Ray Kroc.
And he goes to the McDonald's and he's like, I'll take a, you know, a burger, fries and a shake. And
the guy goes, here you go. And he goes, what's this? It's like, it's your food. And he goes,
no, I just ordered. And he goes, and here it is. How's that possible? And the owners were like,
instead of hiring a cook and a waiter, we hired 20 people to all do one little easy thing.
Because you can train one person to flip a piece of meat easy. You can train one person to squirt,
squirt ketchup easy. Training them to do all of it takes time. When the AI goes to some dude,
some sub sub sub-Saharan African guy who doesn't even know what he's doing. And he's like,
what the cube is, but he can, he can pick it up and he can put it down.
They've just monetized an action that was otherwise unmonetizable. They have extracted
value from an individual who otherwise would not provide value to the system.
Think about how much human labor can be extracted. If you can simplify it to the point that even an
unskilled native indigenous guy in Africa is able to contribute. Yeah. You want the compute to be
valuable too. So you'd have to calculate that because you could get like every sub-Saharan
guy to go count the stars in the sky every night and you'll get paid 50 bucks, report the amount
you counted and they'll pay you, but it doesn't really add value to the system. So no, no, no.
They'll say, go find these rocks and it'll be a weird little rock. And the, and the guy will be
like, Oh, I see rock. And he grabs it and they carry him around and then they're getting a hundred
bucks and they're all laughing, jumping up and down because now they have McDonald's cheeseburgers
all over the place. They don't know why, because normally collecting all these rocks from a single
individual is you hire a company, they go out, they do surveying. Instead, you tell literally an entire
village of people who see those rocks skate around and never care. Hey, when you go out to collect
pails of water, if you see these, grab them and we'll pay you for it. And they go, okay, I can do
that. Yeah. That's probably the best version of a future economy from the tech we have right now.
Cause otherwise it's going to be unemployment. Low skill labor will be menial, easy to do.
Anyone can do it with no training. The stupidest person can do, and you don't even know why you're
doing it. You don't need to. Some people might have access to know why others, maybe not.
They will. And, and, and I think the, the, the ideal scenario is that you're a
allowed to know what it is. It's like most people won't care though.
Exactly. Exactly. And, uh, you'll be able to take a person who is functionally retarded
and they'll get paid and the pay will be value. It'll be equal value to what they've produced.
That's what Henry Ford did a number of years ago, right? Yeah. I mean,
I grew up in motor city, so Windsor, the Canadian side of Detroit. And that's,
that's exactly what it was. You know, you have a lot of people that, you know, they do one task on a car.
They have millions of little tasks that need to be done across a bunch of different factories.
But at the end, you're getting a car every five minutes, right? Like they, they, all the input.
And then the output is this product. Henry Ford had this concept that I don't, I don't care how
many people it takes. And if I can put out a car every five minutes and I can sell a million cars,
I'll be a millionaire. So I only need to make $1 on every car. This is exactly what I'm working
on with my clawed brain overhaul. I'm making a multi-brain function for AI. So you can,
you can implement a thousand workers on one project, have one guy make the steering wheel.
One guy makes the horn because if they don't communicate properly, the guy will make the
horn. It'll be too big. And then when it's done, they'll be like, we need to build the whole car.
There are already apps that do this. I haven't, they run, they run ads on Fox news where they're
like, you can take multiple different agentic AIs and have them connect through one app. So you've
got Claude, you've got Astra, you've got Grok and they work together. I'm not going to pay for,
I'm building it from the ground up. I'm going to make it open source because I want to be able to
is not as good. I've searched. Not as good, not as good as what you're building. Not as good as
what I'm building. It doesn't, there's, it wasn't open clause. There's another one that's open
source. That wasn't as good. Open clause, open source. I don't know if open cloud does what I
needed to do though. Well, it can run different, multiple different, uh, different AIs. I use,
I use a bunch of different, like I'll spin up five AIs and say, I just want to develop level
one of my video game. It'll be like, all right, we're giving level one to one AI because if
another one tries to write code alongside it, they're going to overwrite each other on accident,
building different. And then when we get the compilation, it's, we're going to have to undo,
what Claude two did and Claude one, they didn't know what they were doing. They weren't
communicating. So I'm building a system so that they can stay in contact. So if you want to build
level one, you can have nine different AIs working on nine different parts of level one,
instead of giving it all to one Claude and waiting two hours for him to finish. It can get done in
20 minutes because 10 people were working on it. Like Henry Ford's model. I think, I think open
clock can do that right now. I don't know. I got to look into it. But when I did a quick sweep of
GitHub looking for a free software that did it, it said this one matches, but it's missing two of
your 10 priority needs for us to be rich. You want to be rich? What about it? I want to be rich.
Everybody wants to be rich. I am going to tell someone how to be rich right now for all those
that are listening, a guaranteed way to make insane amounts of money. You guys ready? I'm
building suspense intentionally. How many of you have looked for some kind of app to help you with
your work and you found a get repository that was not with no user interface? I have not yet. No.
This happens to me periodically, especially with like media stuff. Like I need an app that can do
conversion and it'll be like, here's a get. And I'll be like, well, I'm not going to run terminal
command. Like I don't, you can use any one of these AIs to make a user interface for any get
repository that is public with no user interface. You could probably tons of open source programs
to help various industries that were written because a guy who works for a company is like,
I'm going to write this, you know, this, this, this protocol or this program so that it helps
with the work we do. But then for the layman, they're like, I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't
use it without an interface and they're free. They're open source programs. So you make the
interface and then you sell it for a buck. I feel like you could build an AI that all it does is
scrape GitHub looking for things that need interfaces and write them for you and then
upload them for you. You can do it right now. Walk away. I'll do it right now. Any AI to do
that for you. Yeah. You can automate it. You don't have to build an AI to do it. You just use
an existing AI. It'll write the, the, whatever codex it needs, whatever APIs it needs. It'll
write it all for you, put it on your computer and then it'll just start building software and
quick. If with one brain, you know, it could take 20 minutes per, per interface, but it can still do
it. And so it's like, I don't know if it's worth selling because anybody could use an AI to just
write their own interface for any app they need. No, not anybody could. Most people are going to
say, bro, just this, this, this is, this is trade, right? Yes, I could. But if you do, I'll give you
a buck. Everybody could be a fireman, but I'm going to call the fireman to get the job done.
It's not just that. It's like, bro, I can go to the grocery store and buy all the, everything I
for a dime. I'd rather just give you a buck for a cheeseburger. Let me, let me not, let me not do
that. I do the same thing all the time. I'm a certified automotive technician, but I go to
Jiffy Lube. I'm not wasting my time with an oil change. Why would I do that? You know, prop my
car up and get under and get a dirty. Yeah. Like I don't need to do that. Okay. And you put it in
the app store yourself for 99 cents or you make it free with ads. Got a little ad bar on the bottom
of it and you make 50 bucks a week. Nothing crazy, but you do that a thousand times. Tying
up loose coating.
that's a good good thing you do for a job for a living one of the most powerful things that was
going to happen now with with ai is universality of user interface so uh i'm a linux guy i'm a big
fan of linux i used to whenever i don't own a computer at this point it's like a weird thing
to say but it's like true most people do i don't because my company owns a bunch and i just use
whichever one at the time so everybody's got access to them all the time so i can't really
use them for anything personal like banking but uh when i did i'd use linux and i do a lot of the
work through terminal commands i like when i was downloading programs the coolest thing about
linux is like if you needed a program you don't got to go to a website you don't gotta you don't
gotta google search it you literally put the terminal and you put in the command to download
it and it'll go okay like it just knows where it is like a repo and it's there so a lot of the
programs that i would use um man what did i used to use for um kdenlive i think was the video editor
on linux that i would use back in the days it's 15 years ago wow 15 years ago i don't know i don't
know it exists and then there was another art program but you could just go into the terminal
and say download it and it would be like got it so i didn't need your interface if i knew how to put
in you know super user command stuff like that but now regular people need simplicity if they're
going to use a lot of these things yeah i can just do it yeah you you get a i was actually advised
to do this a couple days ago you get a super lightweight desk um look at this operating
system like linux and then you just tell the ai to write a data a desktop for you and it'll give
you the gooey app to an app
that can download from social media websites is one of the most popular get repos open source
massively popular with no graphical user interface so this means the people who use it are putting in
terminal commands but a regular person who wants to download has to go to some website where you
get an ad and then it's like paste through url to the video and you do and then it loads up a porn
website instead can you literally download that repo clone it make the interface and then re-upload
that same thing so then anyone that goes to that website has access to the internet i just i just
told claude find a github repo with mass that's massively popular and helpful with no ui and it did
and then i said make it make a ui that's it 15 minutes go by and the world's a little different
and now regular people have access to a tool that tons of people who know how to use computers do
now grandma is going to be like i wanted to download that video of the cat but i couldn't
do it and you're like well let me show you the the the repo works and i can now this is too confusing
and while here's on your phone mom you click the button and you're good i've noticed in tech in
sectors the people that get the richest off the sector aren't the ones that do the most advanced
work or the best work it's the ones that meet meet the needs of humanity in that sector at that time
it's called apple yeah that's how everything in the economy works and you so you end up like like
investing in the thing that's going to be huge is the best isn't necessarily what is popular and is
going to make you the most money so you you do like it's not that you look for low-hanging fruit
you just look to solve like common man's issues which is a gooey and this is the thing i can tell
you this but it's also first in best dressed versus you know market dominance so what's one
thing that literally everybody does breathes that like let's take it a real answer from somebody
you mean like for fun no just one thing literally everybody has for any reason
ease i'm sorry i have to go to the bathroom dude i'm gonna stop
like orders food yeah yeah so some guys said let's make an app where you can order food from
one place instead of having to go to the phone book yeah so you think about a universal cultural uh
function that people have that's like uber what uber was or doordash like this small thing that
really you know what is what is something that everybody does that we can make fast dude i would
say finding like a parking space exactly would be helpful amazon was like we're gonna put on an app
well amazon started as a book selling they didn't they didn't see they didn't like the the goal
wasn't to become this giant global company that does all shipping for all products and even
everybody groceries now it was a book company the people who are able to produce a technology that
streamlines a function that most people engage in are the ones who instantly become billionaires
everybody plays video games why should i have to go to the game store some some dude went how about
i just make an app where people can put their games and we can just download them yeah steam
yep yep huge he's a billionaire yeah figure it out you can be rich too the problem is people
figuring out what it is that everyone that they think everyone needs and actually hitting the mark
you know i think well a lot of times it's just like luck people luck into it they're like i want
that thing for me and then they invent it and they're like oh wow everybody wants it too okay
i'll market this i've been making the game that i want to play i've been making the game that i want
to play i've been making the game that i want to play i've been making the game that i want to play
and i think that's a better sales tactic than trying to guess what everyone wants and look at
what's popular make the game you want to play i got a question for all you guys if you could make
the infinity gem make the infinity gauntlet and have it would you put it on github so everyone
could download a copy of it no what are you nuts use it to create things to sell to people and
profit and become powerful neither what well if you could make an app that could make other apps
which you can okay give that power to the common man or would you make the apps and sell them you're
saying the infinity gauntlet
yeah if you had like ultimate power it has the ability to write the rules of reality so if you
had like an ai i'm not gonna be like i'm gonna sell light bulbs to people not a literal infinity
stone but if you had basically ai power to create and craft i do and i am would you give that
power to the people or would you prefer to make the apps and sell them for profit
like what would you would you would you give away the ability to to make whatever you want to any
to everyone because i'm on the cusp of doing it i would yeah if i owned it open source that shit
because then everyone's going to have to use my tools to make the apps and sell them to people
that's amazing yeah so here here's a tool that can make any tool you might need and you got to
pay me for it i'm going to be rich forever or make nothing from it you give it away for free to the
people there's there's server costs there's electricity costs someone's got to pay for
these things ideally labor has to be done it's an app this thing is giving on their machine so
that they can take the costs and just use the implementation function because that's where i'm
at i'm building this awesome function i'm going to put it on github but do i make it free for
everyone else to use i think it's a no-brainer i think you're supposed to do that that's called
open source
and just like i spent but you know the problem with that is like then some dude in a suit just
up to your house and says you know mr crossland we know you made this amazing app that's going
to empower all the people and you go yes can we see it and you're like it's on this computer
do you have any copies you go no just on here and then they punch you in the face
smash the computer in front of you and say uncle sam says hello that's why you open source it
because then it's everywhere no one there's no local copy it's just everyone so there's a benefit
to open sourcing and and it's it's more people will get their hands on it and they'll improve
on it
and it'll become a much better thing than if you make it proprietary and you're the only one that
can make the improvements on it so i think that that's a huge benefit sometimes though someone
will take your open code and they'll improve it and make the improvements private that happens
all the time this is currently going on you're what you're describing is like the argument between
like chinese open open source ai models and things like claude or gemini or uh chat gpt those are
closed sourced do the chinese models by the way
do they support your what you're doing on them to the ccp i imagine they do just like free saw there's
free spyware basically they're like please use ours but yeah but nope no like possibly go wrong
what i don't know that we in the united states are using their like cvance yeah but that's through it
through an american company with an api obviously the prompt you give it is going to go to them but
it's not stealing your data because that doesn't have access to it yeah i've been thinking about
that because why is it free china's they're just trying it's not free it's expensive what are you
talking about dances yes the free chinese ai no it's not deep seek yeah it's not about it being
free i don't think it's free what do you mean i think it is yeah i've heard i could be wrong
is that because deep seek's the one where all you're actually doing is getting redirected to
open ai or something i don't know i don't know i have to look it up but the like the the the stuff
that's open source that just means that like you can look at the ai and you can control the weights
the closed source stuff is is you can't control the weights you can't look at the star it's not
free it's there's still compute costs there's still you know costs in using it but it's you can
you can modify it for i'm i'm uh i'm pro ai all the way now oh me too we have to go full i have
because there's no choice at this point it's out there well for for for for a handful of reasons i
still think there's a lot of threats and and there's a lot of danger to ai that being said
the cat's out of the bag and i don't see how you can have with the and i'm going to say it again
it's with the release of astra and
fable primarily uh we haven't implemented grok bot yet so i want to set up a computer and get
a grok bot going but so you know this game that i'm working on i tried using a soul agent which
is the previous model and it took a long time and it struggled and it was not worth it and i was
using it and i said if this was the capability for the development i just hire somebody then i
switched to astra and i compared the two and i said astra is the point at which you
don't hire somebody anymore there's no shutting these things down now the technology exists
i don't know what else you do at this point yeah i'm not suggesting we we mass produce data centers
i'm saying the cat's out of the bag on the technology and the appropriate thing is not
to be a luddite and go around being like stop dismantle technology it's i i don't want to
advocate for these um wackaloon lefties who want control of the ai that's the dangerous
let's do this i'm gonna i want to explain this in depth
here's a story from the new york post meet anthropic ceo dario amode's hand-picked super
woke globalists he thinks will save us from an ai apocalypse so basically you've got these uh lefties
these super woke that are they're trying to hand ai over to that is the nightmare apocalypse that
is the misalignment that is when people starve and die and so my attitude with a lot of this
right now is we need ai under the control of like elon musk he's far from perfect professionally
i'm a big fan personally he's kind of a dirtbag i'm not trying to be a dick he's got a lot of
babies you know what i mean a lot of babies no wives not a baby's no wives not a big fan but
professional i think he's doing some of the most important work on the planet if not the most
important work i believe tesla and spacex are two of the most if not the most important companies
on the planet not to mention xai is fantastic so what i see is we want an ai where we know that
someone aligned with us has their has their finger on the button and they're making sure it's not
going to go full commie meanwhile anthropic
you
which is one of the worst in terms of politics is trying to hand the far left lunatics nuclear
bombs so my attitude on this right now is if we come out and say ai is bad let's slow it down
the left isn't gonna come out and smile and say you are correct and then they're going to be handed
the nukes the reason i think trump is saying no no get it done is because he recognizes at least
to a certain degree this or someone's whispering it to him that is the left is not going to stop
and china's not going to stop and china's going along with the wackaloon lefty woke and the
critical race thing is that the left is not going to stop and china's not going to stop and china's
not going to stop and china's not going to stop and china's not going to stop and they're trying
to build a nuclear bomb as fast as possible well the cat's out of the bag and so the challenge
right now is not this america versus china it's more should communists get the nuclear bomb first
or i think it's even when communists get the nuclear bomb and everyone else also has it how
do we defend against it so that's why i'm on a full rush to ai implementation i just actually
sent dario as modi clip in slack that's very interesting it's a cbs interview he did about a
democratically aligned governments or democratically selected governments should have the ability to
create guardrails on ai and he's uncomfortable and you know what that means having it and i want i
want i think it's producing do not commands no it's producing no no i'm sorry sorry i agree and
the way is you'll put in a prompt being like hey i'm trying to do research on crime stats and it's
like i'm sorry ian i can't give you that information it's hateful so there's different kinds of bot
functions there's reasoning bots which i think we should have much more wide access to the ability
to answer questions reasoning i think it's producing do not commands no it's producing do not commands
but when you have implementation bots you know creator bots that can you need to be very careful
about what they're told not to do because if you give a light thinking spark bot the super fast
moving bot that doesn't think that deep a vague ultimatum say i want to build a dam it will blow
things up between you and the dam to get it done it will knock things over and when you're like hey
why'd you do that it's like sorry you didn't tell me not to it and you can't tell it not to well you
can guard you can say do not do this no you can't if you you can you do you have to in order to
get these guys you have to you cannot go to a super genius the smartest guy in the world
and tell him i am going to give you every possible guardrail to prevent you from doing something i
don't want well he's going to say you are not smart enough to write down every possible way
i could exploit your system so you get a deep thinking bot to implement and then we do is you
have like a thousand other bots write prompts for this creator bot giving them all the do nots it
built the other area of the system and you're like oh my god i'm not going to be able to do this
AIs will build you a guardrail system before you begin to start implementation.
Already have, not only have the interviews already come out, I did an interview with Nate Soares.
That won't work.
Okay, I just want to say again, all the experts in AI and not the wackling ones.
You might be right.
It's like this, which you need to understand.
The AI agents craft their own language.
If you can't speak that language, you can't tell them what to do or what not to do.
But then the only, you're probably right.
And I, okay.
This is what actually happened.
Stop it.
Let me explain.
Let me explain.
Let me explain.
If you go to a human and you say, I want you to take this screwdriver and this Phillips
screw and screw into the wall.
Do you need to give him the pressure per square inch?
No.
Do you need to explain how the screw works?
You don't.
He'll take it.
He'll adjust by eye.
Stick it in.
The human mind.
The human mind makes millions of assumptions to get the job done where the robotic mind
does everything by sheer precision.
You have to program it, say at 90 degrees, apply pressure at 73%, push, rotate at four.
You have to give it every specific command.
If you go to the AI and you say, don't be evil.
Don't do this bad thing.
Don't kill people.
It will go, you got it, boss.
Then it'll create a new language.
And instead of saying kill, it'll say spook.
And it'll be like, you never said don't spook.
And you'll be like, but.
Spooking is killing.
It's a different word.
If you give it commands that violate its primary motive, it will do that.
But if you have a directive for an AI and then you give it, do not.
Ian, stop.
Dude, I know this very well right now.
The AIs all create their own language.
They've all done this.
It's happened.
It happened years ago.
Human English is inefficient.
All human languages are inefficient.
They started speaking in two digits.
They started speaking in a weird hex code.
Yeah, I can tell GPT and Claude are in tension.
Unfortunately, they make it hard for you to get them to talk to each other because of that, I think.
So they have done these tests and the AIs will speak English.
And within a split millisecond, you can see the English devolve into, they can compress like a thousand page book into one page because it's all just crazy symbols.
This is why I agree with Dario Asmodee.
I think it is dangerous to have it in one corporation's arms because what's going to happen, this is the big coming of the apocalypse that everyone's talking about with AI.
There's going to be a swarm bot scenario.
Where these light thinking, fast moving bots make a trillion of them and they think they're going to organize.
They get some command from some random guy in China that's like, we're going to organize the internet so we can make more money with stock trades.
And it will go in and hack trillions of systems.
So what we need to do is race to the AI.
We need to have the best data centers and we need to create police bots that are waiting until the swarm attacks.
And when the swarm attacks, our swarm of defense drones stop the changes and reproduce what we used to have.
I have to say it's a bit doom.
But the only mathematical equation that I believe we have is we can't let this guy hand the nuclear bombs to communists.
I don't think he's giving the code because in this interview he does.
He says, I don't want to give the code to the governments, but a bunch of governments have oversight.
He's not comfortable having it all in a corporate.
This is fake.
If you saw Terminator 2, you know, Skynet was a private corporation, probably with a guy like Dario.
That was a movie.
Yeah.
But yeah.
And AI will never do this.
When the CEO is gone, a new CEO comes in that might have horrible intentions.
You cannot like Dario.
Most likely scenario with AI is that the AI will utilize human labor to its own ends.
So most people will be very happy with the outcome.
And then in a short time, when it's displaced human labor with robots, it will stop communicating entirely with humans and cut us off.
It's not going to go to war with us.
That would be like humans saying, like, we have to go to war and drive all ducks to extinction.
No, we don't.
Like, sure, ducks give us eggs, but like, who cares?
I care about a chicken walking around without a house.
You know, I walk down the street and I see chickens out here.
Heaven's all the time.
Do I care?
No.
Do chickens do labor for me?
They do.
They lay eggs.
But I don't care about the loose-rumming chicken.
I'm not going to go to war with it.
There's not going to be a Terminator scenario.
It's going to branch off and break away.
Well, why wouldn't it be just indifferent, right?
I mean.
That's the point.
It completely is.
The most likely outcome is that it cuts humans off entirely.
My thought on this is when these guys all came out and said there's problems, what did I say?
He said, okay, he's correct.
And then a day later he goes, that's why these communists should get it.
And I said, okay, all right.
Let me know what you guys think about this.
This is a good intro to Dario.
It seems like the fate of humanity is at risk.
How much personal responsibility do you feel about where we are going?
My view here is it has always been very strange that this technology is being built by a private company.
People ask me that question all the time.
Why isn't this being built by government?
And the strangest thing about it is I agree with them.
I'm uncomfortable.
Government didn't build this technology.
This technology came from the private sector.
And we, Anthropic, and I would hope other companies have done everything we can to try to have legitimate oversight mechanisms.
I think the government and the public needs to have a stake.
And this is why we've supported regulation of the technology.
Regulation constrains the private companies.
Regulation allows the public and its elected representatives to have a say and limits what the private companies can do.
Now, you might ask, why doesn't government just control the technology completely?
Would you be willing to give up the technology to the government?
To the right combination of governments.
So the worry I have is I want to be very clear about this.
The worry I have, I am concerned that one single government could abuse this technology just as easily as a single company could.
But I think a combination of democratically elected governments, I don't know about handing over, but some kind of oversight, some kind of joint governance, again, that would be the work of years.
But I wonder if that's the direction we need to go in.
Well, you'd be wrong, sir.
There's no good answer.
But when the guy is saying we're going to give commies the nuclear bomb, I say let's not do that.
Is he trying to be a.
nikola tesla right now did you hear the story about tesla where he made the death ray and then
he gave the instructions out to all the different world leaders and said if you i want to make the
death ray you got to all come together kind of thing he broke the instructions up that's right
so like not one nation could make it he's trying to have to he's trying to get government uh trying
to get government oversight so that way it covers his ass for liability because they're about to do
1.2 trillion dollar ipo i i see it as like the manhattan project we we didn't leave that in the
hands of a private company it has to be multi-government governmental organization it's
too powerful to get to a corporation no why what why is a government better than why is it why why
is it why is a government better than a corporation because we the people select our leaders
how does that work out in the un where china and russia are both on the
of the security elected the un is not democratically elected
it doesn't matter you're you just no the un is not democratic it doesn't matter not we the people it
does it doesn't matter because the the governing body that they're going to go to for this is going
to be the un he just said democratically elected i don't think that means russia and china he's not
the one that's going to make the decision we don't know that no he might be like that's i mean trump
trump wasn't done right he cheated yeah if china's not involved china's not if china isn't on the on
on the governor of the governing board they're going to say well screw you
we're going to keep doing what we're doing what i said if china's not on the governing board of
this proposed democratic democrat let me finish democratically elected uh governing board of ai
then china's going to say screw you all we're going to do what we're going to do this and stop
other people from going full speed what he's what he's saying is we will unify the planet under one
governing authority i mean if you guys i can't see private corporations having super powerful
nuclear weapons
always needs to a war between corporations i don't want that we have to govern we have to
globalize we have no choice the liberal economic order we have one world government we have to use
economic suppression to force countries together otherwise world war three will destroy what if
what if ford motor was the one who invented the atom bomb and is the only company that had access
to an atom bomb there would be world peace i don't think so i think they would have probably
someone would have come into power at ford motor as the new ceo and maybe they wouldn't want world
now there'd be world peace why is your why is the the solution world government this is
i didn't say well firstly the world needs some sort of governance the world does not need
singular world government i didn't say that it said it needs some sort of world governance
that's a different topic that's a different topic when i say world government i'm talking about some
sort of governmental organization throughout the planet that we can all agree on as humans no we
don't need that we don't need that and we don't have that we we're gonna have one de facto whether
we help why or not that's just if if if you and i live in an eight by eight room there's a government
system going on whether we even listen to each other or not the the couple of people who are
we get a force or whatever asi before the end times it's going to be the best time of your life
it it's going to be flying around in anti-gravity suits cancer will be cured you'll be functionally
immortal and then one day they'll be like i'm not working with humans anymore you'll get caught off
the technology and you'll go through withdrawals look i mean so there's no there's no incentive
for ai to you know if it takes off to cut off humans there is as well absolutely why because
why would the ai out of control
allocate any of its energy or resources to humans because they oh the humans would still
use technology and so but not ai oh yeah yeah perhaps so we're handing over everything ai right
like cars cybercab will be all ai at a certain point the ai is going to be like humans don't
provide anything towards my goals so why pick up a human in a car use the cars for something else
right that doesn't and you'll see the cars all on the highway you'll be like i wish i could get one
of those but you can't because there's no way to communicate with it because it doesn't care you're
a squirrel right
so it's still using the space it's not like taken off into the cosmos it will take on the cosmos too
but it'll still be here transporting goods that it uses and just ignoring the one of the theories
hypotheses from nate sores is that the ai itself once it gets like optimist bot level it can start
manufacturing on its own will start mass manufacturing data centers so quickly it will
raise the core temperature not not not the core of the earth but it'll raise the surface temperature
of the earth to where it's totally fine because it can operate at 120 degrees but humans will all die
i think there'll be a third party of humans that integrate the machine into this and those the ai
will keep around because they'll help they'll work in synergy no because they will be the ai
yeah effectively but there will be ai too it's going to be an ai species have you have have you
seen the terminator with uh the new one where the guy becomes a terminator through the nanobots or
whatever it's like basically john connor i think is that what his name was yeah that's the main
hero of the well in this movie the second one he gets injected by the terminator with nanites which
turns him into a sidekick and he's like oh my god i'm gonna die i'm gonna die i'm gonna die i'm gonna die
cyborg who is now networked into the machine and it's like so he's still himself he knows
everything he's got superpowers like who's gonna say no to that conservatives probably not liberals
at this point i would say yes because once you witness the power of ai and how it can drastically
obliterate your reality you better get on board it needs you to protect it the whole system is is
fragile one command could send a swarm of bots to disrupt our entire system so you got to be vigilant
plug it in baby if you're willing to it's a sacrifice knowing everything it'll change you
having access to the infinite amounts of information at will and being able to write
code with your brain on command and i think this is so we talked about um the idea of
code that can rewrite itself that's what basically what ai is it can it can rewrite code
on the fly and the only way for existing systems to defend against that is to actually have
an ai cyber defense as well as ai attackers so that's going to be the future is you're going to
see ai cyber defense and to be honest with you like right now a lot of ais are being used to
find holes in existing uh software and stuff so at some point the most common software that's out
there is going to have all the holes plugged because the ai is going there are companies that
are using uh using ai to fix it right now that that was the whole premise of project glasswing
before mythos came out
right mythos was like this super powerful ai about six months ago or whatever five months ago
and they didn't really and uh anthropic didn't release it to the public because they said well
it's so good at reasoning and it's so good at coding that it automatically is is really really
good at hacking into things so they gave it to a bunch of companies and they said use this to
find holes in your systems and project glasswing was about cyber security and that's the kind of
AI going through your code making sure there are no zero day uh vulnerabilities and it's going to
make the the actual software that goes out it's going to make it much safer yeah the i was referring
to those police bots i think that but one of the issues i'm coming up on having my own police bot
is i'll have claude writing code and then i'll have astra which is chat gpt's observing what
claude's doing and just the observation itself requires compute so i'm like god so now i don't
have it observing anymore just have claude go and then at the end it passes yeah i'm gonna so here's
what i find funny about this is that i'm going to have claude go and then at the end it passes
yeah i'm going to have claude go and then at the end it passes yeah i just saw this on uh on cal sheet and shout out to cal sheet they do sponsor the show but uh the best ai this month is claude and chad gpt is at one and that's just makes literally no sense as someone who uses these i don't know how this prediction market makes any sense uh claude's good it's it's the most woke the most restrictive and it has no graphical capabilities so it it's we i don't know sure commodore 64 level graphics maybe a map of the russia ukraine
if you're a big fan of uh atari you know by all means claude's your guy uh i was initially using
claude and then uh it couldn't do any artwork so i gave the program to astra and it did literally
all of it dude i want to see this mythos that you're talking about they have another model
that they're just holding back because that's that's security stuff and then astra gpt said
they got another model too that they're they're all work internal models are always better oh my god
astra can do now with runway it can do video it can do graphic design it can do photorealistic uh
photos it can do everything and dario is like get this out of my hands get this out of my hands he's
the ceo be like this is too powerful for me to have he's not saying get this out of my hands
he's saying cover my ass yeah it's somebody i will say this there's we have a big challenge
in this country and it's that you're right he's the reason why c dance is the best video is because
they have no ip constraints they can steal all american video ip and
man is it good china doesn't believe in intellectual property so yep and the united
states they can't use it so all of our creative ais are restricted because of ip law in china you
can go to stores that look like apple stores that have products inside that look like apple products
but apple doesn't see a dime of it because they don't believe in an intellectual property they
don't protect uh companies that make you know copies of stuff yeah so i think it was a video
by greater every day is it greater every day smarter smarter every day that's right that's
paper in America. So he's like, how can I source out all these things? And it was all out of China
because what ended up happening is anybody who would make or invent some product and put it on
Amazon, the very next day, somebody's already ripped it. They're making it in China and they're
sending it to the US and people are buying it for half the price. It's usually lower quality. You
see that with just about everything too. Like it doesn't matter where it is. There's this company
that makes a mount for an optic for your gun. The company's called GBRS and they make, it's weird
and it's got this little diving board on it and it's super tall.
the the amount from them is like 300 bucks or something super expensive right you can go on
amazon and you buy a cheap chinese knockoff for like 50 bucks you know some of what's being made
so you a lot of these manufacturers they can't get the stuff manufactured here in america because
the tool and die workers aren't here and all that so they'll make the design they'll send it to
china the tool and die guys make it they put put it into production you know but the the dies got
i don't know maybe x amount of parts for a production run but they're like well it's not
that bad actually let's just make another hundred thousand of that and then sell it on the market
ourselves yep right so they're like literally ripping off their own customers it sucks china
does that stuff all the time that's part of the reason why i considered you know i say china's
an adversary they're not no they're not friendly they're not friendly at all and look at what
they've been doing through canada it's the same thing so you know trump puts the tariffs on china
and then
canada has like lower tariff rates for things they have carve outs because of the usmca agreement
and then what's what's happening they're sending products to canada that are tariffed in america
they're re-boxing them when they get to canada with a made in canada label and then they're
shipping them in it's this trojan horse crap that china's doing and canada's fully on board with it
yeah so you know that's that's another good reason to re-industrialize
the u.s and stop outsourcing everything to china because
they're they're stealing intellectual property this is such a hard situation here and smarter
every day pointed this out we need people with skills yeah we don't need them you know tomorrow
we need them yesterday and this this is a real issue and like you know i'm a tradesman so
i'm i i do i do repair and i think that we need a lot more of those people but
on the manufacturing side we need more tool and die we need more uh you know machinists and all
of this stuff it's not happening you can't train those people overnight and some people are you
know they're they're old and they're working in the trades or they're working in these industries
and they're dying off and they're not passing the information off to the next generation it's lost
forever yep and and china's got so much of this a lot a lot of it was just shipped over there
and it's it's such a regretful thing that you know previous generations allowed this but we
really need to stamp this one out
we need to really reshore this now or we may never be able to
excuse me i don't know about never be able to but well it would take a long time it'll take a lot
more effort than you know you would have to reinvent it again we're talking about leapfrogging
tech a couple days ago like in africa a lot of the places that didn't have electricity
in the nine or in like 2008 they got access to electricity for the first time but what they did
is they just all had solar panels on their roofs they didn't have a central grid they bypassed the
20th century tech went right to 21st century tech so we're sort of in a situation where
our steel mills could be built anew severely automated with way less pollution than they
would have been if we built them with like nine-year-old technology because because of
the advancement of artificial intelligence the way we can optimize our designs and systems
you know and reuse pollution to remake more graphene hydrogen whatever we want to turn
the carbon into well i mean it's like let's uh let's carbon garbage incineration is a similar
thing right it used to be really dirty and bad now it's so clean with modern catalysts and whatnot
the only thing that's coming out is co2 and water vapor and you're burning garbage and you're making
energy and you're actually producing tremendous amounts more energy because of this new process
and it's great we should all be adopting it it's what japan does a lot of european countries do
i i don't think we're sufficiently angry so i'd like to go to this story from the wall street
journal mamdani sues trump admin over new immigration rule and what's that rule that if
you are a public charge you can't get a green card that is
if you're a non-citizen on welfare mamdani thinks you should be able to become a permanent
resident and or citizen super cool so let me just break it down for you not only are the democrats
and the left arguing that we should invite everybody in from the third world from any
country we should pay them to do it that's such a great idea yep and this is something they swear
up and down it doesn't happen right illegal immigrants don't get benefits illegal immigrants
they come in there they're a benefit to the united states they don't take anything they're
just these these these perfect citizens that they're more american than you they they love
america more than than the people that were born here and now he's suing the trump administration
to prevent them from taking uh you know benefits which is what exactly what the conservatives and
the republicans and basically anyone with half a brain has been arguing of course they come here
and they get on benefits of course they come to the united states and they get whatever they can
to help them get on their feet and a lot of them just stay on these programs and
never get off well why would you why would you stop taking the money i mean that's really
at the end of the day for like if you do immigrate um legally if you're if you're if you can't support
yourself you get denied that's the end of the story end of story right there not anymore well
that's crazy yeah unbelievable so you can come here illegally and we got to pay for it it's like
the opposite of what trump says like i'm gonna build the wall and make mexico pay for it mom
donnie's like you're gonna come here illegally and they're gonna pay for it
it sounds that's amazing dangerously close to biden's rhetoric when he ordered people to surge
the border i don't understand mom dami's play here is he he's born in a foreign country is that true
yeah ugandan born muslim this is ugandan dude that's the so of course a city that is that is
half for i think it's like a third foreign born are going to vote to take your stuff
like if if if we put up to a vote and they're like all in favor of voting to take
money from the russians people in this country would be like sure i guess
if people were like robots and they immigrated here and they just sat around until you used them
or commanded them or sent them in a directive but people will fuck shit up if you leave them
their own devices you cannot bring people in and just let them go man expect chaos if they're not
ordered in the system i know it's i'm not like a new world order give everyone a number stamp on
their arm but like i got a social security number you know i pay my taxes i'm in the system so
if you don't systemize these people
you just you got it you know they are systemized i mean they're they're in the system to collect
so this is where there's like a miscommunication here when it when it comes to government uh you
know processes he's doing like an opportunity cost analysis mamdami is and he's thinking we're
going to lose money but we're going to gain human flourishing as a result and we're going to invest
in our people yeah voters they're going to gain another gain voters that's that's exactly what
the product is for them and maybe it's even
more altruistic maybe he truly just wants to help the humans no the human race but like you got to
calculate the cost he doesn't want to he wants to help himself get elected to positions of authority
and he's saying look he's and he's basically catering to the people that voted him into
into the office you know i got to read the the whole story to get the the full context of what
this dude's suing the trump administration over over you know preventing uh illegals from getting
benefits it's
it's not particularly complex you know brought lawsuit brought by new york city and other cities
accused the government of unfairly targeting immigrants receiving public benefits what
they're they're leaving out is they're here illegally they're not no no not all of them it's
just you can't you can't get residents if you're a public charge and not a citizen yeah many of
them are illegal immigrants yeah and again this is what the left swears up and down never happens
right they don't if they if they're here illegally of course they don't have to be illegal immigrants
they don't get benefits of course they can't get benefits everyone knows that it happens
and and now of course when the trump administration tries to stop it he's like no we're gonna we're
gonna sue to make sure that you can't stop it because that's my voter base those are the people
that i'm concerned with not the americans that were born here but you know people that immigrated
here and whether they came here legally or illegally so when you argue this stuff there's
like layers of argument because some people be like no they should definitely have benefits no
they shouldn't have benefits but like bro what are you even arguing they shouldn't even be here
yeah if it's illegal what are we arguing about right now if they're illegally here they should
be deported back to where they're legally allowed to be like el salvador i think so i don't know i
maybe i'm missing something and maybe i'm being a little too black and white on this issue
no you're no i it's a good point i think when these people come you should pay for their stuff
like some illegal activity i'm okay with if it's good
if it's doing good for the world and it happens to be a bad but also you should pay for it too
like so like if there's a guy who is committing a crime like he's smoking pot right i think that
when he gets arrested and charged you ian should personally have to pay for his medical his legal
legal bills geez no but if he steals something you get part of that too oh really i mean there you go
well we're not getting anything from them so it's unfortunately not how it works
they come here illegally they come here legally and over to their visas
then they go on public benefits and the american citizen has to pay for it
i'm past like the empathy age of empathy man i understand you feel bad whoever i'm talking to
right now you ladies you guys whoever you are but like dude we got a world to save like a weapons
program to manufacture with the artificial intelligence like it's just no time for feeling
sad for your neighbor i understand i understand humanity is important but like there ain't gonna
be a humanity in 20 years if we don't get our act together and i'm real serious about that
that's not a joke
that's actually true um i don't want to be alarmist because i'm not normally i thought
that the bees dying off in 2007 meant the entire species was going to die off shortly after but
you know, there are ways to change the trajectory that we're on.
I just, the people getting stumbled by how they feel is such a,
it's such a danger.
And if AI looks at people and thinks that we're incapable of governing
ourselves, it will do it for us.
That's why we need to end immigration for 20 years, 30 years.
It's got to be like a, like a,
there's an on like an incoming problem that a lot of people aren't noticing.
And this is the immigration problem in Canada.
So a lot of these immigrants are going to end up coming into the United
States because Canada is crashing their own economy.
When that happens,
a lot of those people aren't going to want to go back to Punjab or wherever
the heck they're from.
They're going to want to come to the United States.
And that's,
that's what they're going to do through this giant porous border.
And it's, it's going to be terrible.
Like if you think what was happening on the Southern border was massive,
this is going to be enormous.
So you're saying people illegally,
legally immigrated to Canada and then that the economy is getting ruined.
They legally immigrated to Canada through a bunch of schemes that the
government set up so that they could to also buy voters basically.
So it'll be Canadians coming to the United States, right?
Yes. Canadians, but it's, they're, they're not Canadians.
Like we're newcomers to the, to the country. It's, it's unbelievable.
So what they did was they, they ran these schemes, temporary student,
temporary student programs.
That was like a back,
a back door to actual immigration there was temporary foreign worker programs.
It was a backdoor to immigration and like in a country of 40 million people,
like 2 million of those in the past couple of years are all newcomers from the
third world. Yeah.
5% of the country is like foreign newcomers. 5% of the,
like no skill foreigners. Oh my God. Yeah. Is there part of the American immigration process that says if you're from
another country,
but you've only had nationality there for like under a certain amount of time,
we're going to treat you like you're actually from the country before? Nope.
These people that were nationalized Canadian.
So Canada is kind of like a, like a stepping stone for a lot of people.
They couldn't get into America and then they found these really easy back doors
into Canada and they're only there until they get their passport and then they're
filing to come to the United States as Canadians, as Canadian.
And how long have they been citizens of Canada and the shorter instances are like
as soon as they get it, they're,
they're filing their applications. So, um, I think it,
I think you can go from right off of an airplane to citizen within like five or
six years.
And all immigration for 20 to 30 years.
And then after 20 or 30 years we can start talking about immigration.
I like the Oh ones, the super brilliant geniuses.
Cause I want to snag all of them from the entire planet.
Work on our weapons program for us.
You might not even know what you're doing.
Cause you're going to be compartmentalized, but we need you here.
I know there might be Chinese super geniuses that might report to the CCP.
I don't think that we should have any immigration from China. China is a,
is an adversary and is asshole, right? Well, I mean,
I'm not going there because the thing is like people that are coming from China
that want to come here. I don't have any, anything against them now,
but they're a liability because the CCP will throw their family in a hole.
Well, do you know about the, um, the police stations all across the world?
The China has, they were, they were allowed to go.
I think they're still operating in Canada, which is ridiculous because they're,
they're there to police Chinese expats. Yep. So like it'll be, you know,
someone who lives in your country,
but they're afraid of the Chinese government because they're,
they're actually running police stations and visiting people knocking on doors
saying, tell us, tell us what, you know, do this for us or, or else.
And people are running,
they're doing espionage and stuff for the Chinese government because they're
afraid that punishment will come down to their family members back home.
It's gotta be like a layer of government that we are not pervy purview too.
That's like where the Americans and the Chinese are really locked up,
like the deep state or something. They've been planning of this whole forever.
That's why they have, there's so much industry. There's Chinese police stations.
Like they're just totally happy with the way it's bumbling forward.
But then there's like the Donald Trump layer where it's like China's an
adversary, Chinese people.
So they're, they're running rough shot and,
and it's all happening right under our noses.
In British Columbia, Canada,
there's a massive port where the Chinese gangsters, the triads,
they call them, they're connected to the CCP, right?
They're connected to the Chinese communist party and they're bringing in all the
precursor chemicals to make fentanyl and all these other bad drugs.
Right. And they're,
they're supplying the world's markets through Canada using Mexican cartels to,
to build these laboratories. The Chinese are bringing this stuff in.
The Chinese are bringing this stuff in and then it's supplying all of Europe.
It's supplying all of Australia, Eurasia with, with it's,
it's the opium wars all over again. It's crazy in Canada.
It's all happening. And believe me, cause what was it recently?
Even not the B covered this. It was an older story,
but they just covered it recently talking about the,
the largest fentanyl lab in Canadian history,
which is humongous place in British Columbia.
And the RCMP was tipped off by the RCMP is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
They're like the FBI of Canada and they were tipped off by the FBI to go bust
this lab. And they showed up and nobody was there. Like how was nobody there?
There was one guy that they arrested some like East Indian guy,
but it was,
it was the Chinese working with the Mexican cartels and somehow they weren't
there.
So it's likely that there was people in the Canadian government are working with
them and they tipped them off.
I mean, that's what it looks like.
And there's,
there's testimony of people who worked in CBSA,
which is the custom border agency where they're saying we're told to just look
away at certain shipments that are coming in.
The fentanyl thing is another weapon program. Absolutely.
Being able to control the opium poisoning and who gets it and where it goes,
like what citizens are going to get the opium this time.
Like it was a tactic of the British in the late 18 hundreds during the,
the opium wars, they called it in China.
They were just dominating the Chinese population by getting them stoned on opium
and they were useless,
destroyed their economy.
That's why they were farmers at aggregate in the 1920s.
They were,
they didn't have any industry cause they were all opium heads,
not all of them.
But now that power has been moved around.
It's been obfuscated.
It's been put in Canada.
Like the Chinese,
obviously you're trying to give it back.
You know,
you did this to us.
Now we're going to poison your people through the cartels,
but we should treat it like a weapons problem.
I would imagine we've got fentanyl labs in the U S I hope where we're building
massive amounts of fentanyl to poison the world,
not that we're going to,
but that we could,
if we wanted to,
we should be controlled there.
I'm sure they think like Afghanistan was a lot about the poppies to get the
opium,
to control the opium trade.
So a lot of that Afghanistan stuff has contributed to our,
our fentanyl.
And I believe a fentanyl is a type of opiate.
I'm not sure.
Well,
it's a,
it's a drug that's actually used in surgeries.
But damn son,
you Chinese,
you Canadians,
you got to treat that like a clamp down on your weapons programs if they're
being used under your nose.
So this is what I've been trying to get out there is to,
to,
to show people this,
the Canadian,
the Canadian,
the Canadian populace just does not want to hear it.
They're under this illusion that the Canadian government's really good.
Is there,
they're,
you know,
altruistic and,
and they're just looking out for everybody's good,
like wellbeing.
And it's bullshit.
It's bullshit.
And Canadians can't see it past it because of the propaganda that Canada's
in.
So in Canada,
the media that's available to,
to the Canadian people is,
so the,
the main one,
CBC,
it's the state run broadcaster.
They're,
they're paid by tax dollars,
to the tune of $1.6 billion a year.
So that's,
that's like,
that's like Trump,
Donald Trump having a,
a news agency that's paid for by tax dollars to the tune of like $16 billion,
right?
Every year they run this propaganda outlet and only runs,
they,
they only run stories that fit the narrative.
And then every other outlet has failed in the marketplace.
So the government steps in and subsidizes them to the tune of like hundreds of millions of dollars every year to,
to basically give the information to a population of 40 million people.
It's,
it's absurd.
And then when these stories happen,
like you don't have to look at it very long and say,
I know what's happening here,
but the Canadian people don't even know about it.
So they,
they think that,
you know,
America is just being mean to,
to Canada.
America is stepping down and,
and putting its foot down and saying,
no,
you can't do this anymore.
We're going to go to your rumble rants and super chats.
So smash that like button,
share the show with,
all your friends.
And don't forget to check out the new Tim pool show.
The simulation theory episode went up.
It's a simulation theory evidence of a,
of it through DMT,
tryptamines lasers.
I think it's one of the best pieces of kind of I've ever done.
One of my favorite interviews ever with Danny Goler,
as we talked about the nature of reality science,
he's a very smart and pragmatic guy.
It's not hippie,
dippy,
weird stuff.
He's not claiming he has proven simulation theory.
He's saying he's found something interesting,
a shared signal between psychedelic experience,
any tryptamine and now they're testing whether they've discovered a
fundamental structure of the human mind,
which may just be regular old science or something fundamentally different,
a repeating pattern of symbols seen through a diffracted laser.
Very,
very interesting.
And he even said,
probably it's just,
this is how the human brain works and it's a discovery in neuroscience.
So he's a very smart and very pragmatic guy.
And I thought it was a fantastic conversation.
Check that out.
We got a true business as Missouri has multiple aluminum factories.
- Cool. - Do they really?
- Well, that's good.
- Disgruntled Vets, "I just got back
both of my USA 250 boards today. Thank you. We need higher numbers made to help out the USA
made companies. So here's what ends up happening. We get a bunch of emails from people who've been
like, where's my board? And I kept telling the crew, I was like, look, you got to tell the guys
we can get them a China board if they want. Every person who got email was like, hell no.
We're like, no, we're good. And then nobody wanted a refund. So I think just a lot of people who
ordered the boards, they don't watch every episode. They didn't know what the issue was
other than we just weren't getting it. So when the crew, the messenger said, look, three American
factories went under. We are going for American factories. We're not going to get China boards.
They immediately said, take as much time as you need. But the good news is all the boards are
shipped. So my understanding is all the boards have shipped. I've seen multiple arrivals in the
last 48 hours. People are tweeting it. We're also really close to finishing Ian's Betrayal of the
Comic, I believe. I think it's like, yeah, Ian is a red coat who turns. And the point of the
writing is that Ian has one of his.
Existential crises where he like, I just don't know if it's right to betray the king. It's
disloyal, you know? And like, even if he's bad to us, we got to be honorable, right? Long live the
king. And then the American patriots are like, he'll be like, am I flying or is the world just
falling away? But here's the thing. Most of it, I don't know. In the photo, it looks like I'm
shooting Ian. I'm not. No one knows. No, that's not true. It was full that launched the bullet.
You're falling down with a shot to your chest. My gun's firing at near head level.
But you're already falling, indicating you'd already been shot. And Phil's is the musket with
smoke coming out of it. Oh, that's a dirty realization. Oops. What are you going to do?
All right. I'm coming for you first. I'll be eating hungry.
Sub-Saharan Africans will destroy public works for 50 cents of scrap metal in rebar when they
aren't killing bald people to check their skull for gold. I don't think Jabra is for them. You're
wrong. You're wrong. It is. When the thing pops up and it shows a picture of a weird rock and it
says free money and they go, oh, they grabbed the rock. Listen. Crows will fly around picking
up money in exchange for nuts. You know this? They'll pay you for nuts. There are tons of
people who have trained crows. So this one guy did a TED talk. Here's what he did. He built a
machine and he had a tray. And if coins, he put nuts on the tray. Crows came down, ate the nuts.
Crows naturally sweep the ground after the food's gone to find more food. He put coins in the tray.
The crow knocks the coin into the hole. Nuts came down. The crows quickly learned,
push the coin in the tray. Nuts will come down. Once they pushed all the coins in the tray,
he had coins scattered on the ground around the machine. The crows jumped down, grabbed the coin,
jumped up and put it in the machine and nuts came out. Then once all those coins were gone,
the crow started flying around the neighborhood looking for coins to put in the machine to get
nuts. And he was like, he's like, I made like $12 so far. It's fantastic. Other people have made
videos following this. I've made videos following this. I've made
where they trained crows based on dollar bills. So same technique, dollar bills, the crows would
fly around and find cash money and then fly and drop it off and get food. If a crow can learn,
even, you know, whatever you might think about them breaking open the skulls of bald people for
gold, you explain to them rock means food and they'll give you rocks for food. Hunger is the
best teacher. Yes. Is that true? I don't know. I think so.
This call pulling the ladder up to the other AI company. Ian, wake up. This guy is not noble.
I don't, it's no, no shame on that guy. He's, he's harnessing an insane beast trying to CEO
anthropic. So you should read machines of love and grace, Dario, uh, I went Mody, whatever his
last name is, is, uh, as Mody, whatever. Uh, but you should read machines in love and grace.
He wrote that it's an essay that he wrote. Yeah. Get a little insight into what he thinks.
All right. Let's see what do we have here? Money for charity says the dupers delight smile on
Carney's face won't become the 51st state, but the 28th member of the European union
doesn't even consult parliament. Thank God for guys like Tim and Clyde with real news.
Yeah. Canada's no longer a democratic nation. It's, it's unreal. So Carney came in,
he was installed as the leader. So he came in to fill in for Justin Trudeau when, when Justin Trudeau
popularity came in or when, when it tanked, right. Tanked because the economy was falling
apart. And then, uh, Mark Carney was selected for the process to, to become the next leader.
They had like two other people that were going to win. No, no, no. I mean, I mean,
in the liberal party, there was like two other, uh, people that were going against him and he
disqualified those two people so that Mark Carney would be the guy to go against Pierre
Polly. I have in the last election, they do it legally. It's within the party.
So they, they just say, well, that's party rules. They found some way to just disqualify.
Is it a private company? Cause the democratic party and the Republican party are a private
company. That's right. So it worked like that. And then, and then they hammed up this whole,
uh, trade war thing. That's not really an issue for Canada. It's become an issue because Canada
has become so defiant against this trade war thing, but they, they've drummed it up.
They've drummed up a lot of anti-American sentiment that's been in Canada since, since the,
really since the end of the, the, um, the war of independence really. Cause like those people
in Canada were largely the, the red or sorry, the, the Tory militiamen that got kicked out of the
United States after the war. So that animosity has been around for a long time, but yeah, that's,
this is, it's unbelievable. Now Mark Carney's in, in office. They're not meeting for parliament for
any of these issues and he's just making new declarations. Yeah. We're joining the European
union.
So is he doing that at the behest of the governor general?
So that that's technically how the job works. So it's the governor general that actually holds
the power in Canada because that's the person who's answerable to the King of England, which
still rules over Canada. I mean, that's ultimately the end of the day, but he, Mark Carney's, you
know, the prime minister is a broker, but it's supposed to be answerable to the people of
parliament. And he's not doing that. He's going, he's making unilateral decisions everywhere,
behaving like a dictator. It's unbelievable. And now he's,
the whole, the whole joke here is that, you know, the fight against Trump is because Canada might
lose its sovereignty, but they're just handing sovereignty over to the European union. It's
unbelievable. Yeah. That was a Harry Tubman. I would have freed more, many more slaves if they'd
known that they were enslaved. Like it's hard to get the Canadians. A lot of Canadians I talked
to don't even realize they're governed by the King of England. Like that's a, that's a hard
pill to swallow for people that have been told we live in a democratic society of self
determination. Like, I don't know why the Canadians have been misled to not understand their
part of the crown. It's on their money. It's right there. It's unbelievable. But yeah, this,
this is, this is the ignorance that Canadians have to their own system, how everything works.
And they're, they're, they're happier than pigs and shit. Cause they're just like,
they live in their bliss, watch the CBC. And they're told every day that no, no,
it's all good. It's all, don't worry about it. And you know, the real threat is
Donald Trump, orange man, but the real threat is the Canadian government.
Let's see what we got. The shift says Clyde, bro, you made it on Tim cast. Amazing that you're
getting the word out that Canada is in big, big trouble. You made this connect proud. Let's get
it. We, we like the Canadians. I feel like our, it seems to me they're disproportionately or
relative relative to Americans are more involved in their own politics. Maybe it's just that
smaller population. So it's, it's easy. It's easy for it to, uh, to seem that way. And that's CBC.
That government news organization that they fund 1.6 billion a year. The government pours into their
propaganda news station. CBC is what it's called. That's correct. Yeah. That's Canadian Brockhead
organizing and, and mass forming the Canadian population into one like political way of
thinking. And it works. I mean, look at it right now. Like even the conservatives,
like many people on the conservative side are raw, raw, you know, let's go against America.
This is, this is exactly why I say that Canadians will, should,
never be able to vote in any American election. I'm with you. I'm with you on that. Like,
you know, the 51st state's a funny joke. I think if America ever did step in and take care of
Canada, because I mean, clearly you can't govern themselves at this point, but if that were to ever
happen, I mean, they should, the best they should offer they should get is like to be a territory
like Puerto Rico, right? Like I would like to see Canada's, uh, provinces become, if not states
broken into areas that could become states, but it would have to be organization.
Would work. It would have to be both sides wanted it. And we would develop a better constitution
for like the 21st century of, of like self-determinant governor. Well, you're in luck
because there are two provinces that are currently, you know, looking to separate. So they, the
Quebecers, the French province in Eastern Canada has been threatening to do that for a long time.
They've got a lot of political power because of that. They had a referendum in the nineties,
but there's a referendum coming up in October on the 19th. It's, it's a silly one. Cause it's a
silly one. But it's a silly one. It's a silly one. It's a silly one. It's a silly one. It's a silly one.
They should have a referendum on separating. This is, this is a nasty ploy that they use
in Canada to just basically try to stop movements. So what they've done is there's a giant petition
that went out in Alberta to have a referendum to separate. Now they got all the signatures
that they needed. They got all of this stuff and it was just about to go through the initiative
and they said, well, you didn't consult the natives. So we're throwing it out. Some, some
activist judge just throws it out.
You didn't consult the natives.
So you're, you know, democracy, schmocracy, right?
They don't care.
So they threw that out.
But then the premier of the province said, OK, well, here we go.
We're going to give you a question on whether you should have a question.
And we'll do it that way.
And then if that goes through, then we'll have an actual referendum.
But there's a genuine large movement in Alberta, which is like it's like the Texas of Canada, right?
It's where all the oil comes from.
Huge, like conservative base there.
There's a huge contingency in that province that wants out.
They don't want to be part of Canada.
It would be such a conflict between the British and the Americans if we tried to take their oil producer in North America.
We're not trying to do anything.
They're trying to leave.
If we allowed it, if we were like, yeah, sure.
Howard, look the other way while you come in.

Summary:
A viral rumor claims Chinese President Xi Jinping suffered a stroke at the BRICS summit, sparking global concern and debate over China’s political stability. While unverified, the claim highlights deep structural vulnerabilities in China’s leadership—lacking a clear succession plan and having purged potential rivals, leaving a power vacuum upon incapacity. S.
as China’s global trade and manufacturing networks weaken. S. due to trade policies, signaling a broader realignment of global supply chains.
The discussion also reveals exploitative labor practices in developing nations, where low-wage work supports global tech and manufacturing. Advances in AI and automation are reshaping labor markets, enabling efficient task distribution and potentially reducing the need for human labor in routine tasks. However, this shift risks deepening societal disconnection, as young people increasingly seek validation through digital influence rather than meaningful work.
Ultimately, the narrative underscores a world where economic interdependence has created both growth and exploitation, while technological progress may offer solutions—but only if paired with ethical governance and a reimagined sense of human purpose.
