- 0:00Speaker 1: Expeditions on your computer like if you get caught should
- 0:03Speaker 1: be a felony Like a jail felony I had to
- 0:08Speaker 1: sign up for something for the state And then yesterday
- 0:12Speaker 1: I had an email in my inbox which looked exactly
- 0:14Speaker 1: like a state email So I opened it and then
- 0:18Speaker 1: I clicked on what they wanted me to click on
- 0:20Speaker 1: and as soon as I did it I realized man
- 0:22Speaker 1: I think I made a mistake and I immediately stopped
- 0:24Speaker 1: so I don't know if I made it in time.
- 0:25Speaker 1: Hope I did I didn't. I was actually so nervous,
- 0:29Speaker 1: I didn't even want to go look at any of
- 0:30Speaker 1: my other stuff to see if it was all deleted.
- 0:33Speaker 1: But I deleted the email as fast as I could.
- 0:36Speaker 1: But it's just constant. It's constant. Right? Yes, the internets
- 0:44Speaker 1: are life-changing. And AI is going to change it even further.
- 0:48Speaker 1: And everything associated with all of that. But, you know,
- 0:52Speaker 1: you think how much we... invest. And I don't even,
- 0:57Speaker 1: I don't even do online banking. I don't pay anything online,
- 1:01Speaker 1: but you got an account, right? You have to have a,
- 1:04Speaker 1: everyone wants you to have an account. So even a
- 1:07Speaker 1: bank who, you know, you've been banking with for 50 years,
- 1:10Speaker 1: you know, you got to have an online account so
- 1:12Speaker 1: you can check. I don't know. I'm afraid to go
- 1:14Speaker 1: look to see if my money's there, what money there is,
- 1:18Speaker 1: which isn't a lot, but I don't know. I don't
- 1:22Speaker 1: know how long it takes for one of those fishing things.
- 1:24Speaker 1: Like literally it was a, Half a second before my
- 1:27Speaker 1: mind snapped And said this is probably a scam I
- 1:29Speaker 1: don't even know if it was I just deleted it,
- 1:32Speaker 1: deleted it, deleted it And hopefully But it's just now
- 1:36Speaker 1: I got that eerie feeling In my stomach like I'm
- 1:39Speaker 1: afraid to go look Welcome to the You know welcome
- 1:42Speaker 1: to a Friday Alright So everyone's asking me For an
- 1:50Speaker 1: opinion on the flop camera Like a significant solid Pick
- 1:54Speaker 1: a side flock camera decision. And there's a, I gotta
- 1:59Speaker 1: be honest, there's a part of me that likes the
- 2:01Speaker 1: idea that it's a tool for law enforcement. I do.
- 2:06Speaker 1: But if I'm forced to choose a side on this today,
- 2:11Speaker 1: on this date, I think it's clear what side I
- 2:14Speaker 1: have to fall down on. The steadfast defense of the
- 2:18Speaker 1: freedoms of our Constitution is what I side with. That's
- 2:23Speaker 1: how I side across Our towns, whether it's Windsor or Killingworth,
- 2:28Speaker 1: East Lyme, Milford, residents have risen against the, this is
- 2:34Speaker 1: what bothers me too, the quiet installation of flock safety
- 2:38Speaker 1: automated license plate readers.
- 2:43Speaker 2: Right?
- 2:47Speaker 1: The cameras are placed without really any public knowledge or consent,
- 2:52Speaker 1: by the way. They photograph every vehicle that passes, logging
- 2:56Speaker 1: the plates, location, times, vehicle details, more info. The deeper
- 3:03Speaker 1: I dig into this, the more egregious it sounds, doesn't it?
- 3:07Speaker 1: How dare you? I'm a free American citizen. But what
- 3:13Speaker 1: gives me pause is as odd as this is, it's
- 3:18Speaker 1: seeming a bipartisan issue. Tree huggers and, you know, pro-
- 3:24Speaker 1: Illegal immigration folks, anti-ICE folks, all on the same page
- 3:28Speaker 1: somehow on this one, right? The officials say they're tools
- 3:34Speaker 1: for safety, but from a pro-freedom perspective, which, again, is
- 3:43Speaker 1: rooted in the Constitution of the United States or constitutional principles, I.
- 3:48Speaker 3: Mean, it's a profound expansion of surveillance, right?
- 3:53Speaker 1: That absolutely 1,000% chips away at your liberties. 1,000%.
- 3:57Speaker 3: You know, there's a Fourth Amendment.
- 4:04Speaker 1: Protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures. Seems like this
- 4:09Speaker 1: falls into that category. Why are you looking at me?
- 4:13Speaker 3: Why are you watching me? Oh, but you got a
- 4:18Speaker 3: cell phone. But I choose to have the cell phone.
- 4:21Speaker 1: It's my choice. Okay, if I realize that they're tracking
- 4:26Speaker 1: me on my cell phone, I can put it down.
- 4:30Speaker 1: I can leave it on the table. I can turn
- 4:33Speaker 1: it off, although that doesn't really do anything. I understand
- 4:38Speaker 1: that we've given up a tremendous amount of our liberties
- 4:41Speaker 1: when we hold this cell phone in our hands. I
- 4:45Speaker 1: get that, but I have a choice. The flock cameras
- 4:48Speaker 1: don't give me a choice. That's a big difference. Government
- 4:56Speaker 1: should not be intrusive into our lives. There's really no
- 5:01Speaker 1: probable cause for it. And these cameras operate continuously on
- 5:08Speaker 1: public roads. They capture movements of law-abiding citizens. They watch
- 5:13Speaker 1: you as you're driving around. No warrant, no suspicion, no
- 5:20Speaker 1: illegal activity. And so far, the courts, and we'll talk
- 5:27Speaker 1: to Judge about this today, have said that there's no
- 5:31Speaker 1: reasonable expectation of privacy in a license plate displayed on
- 5:35Speaker 1: a public highway. That's so far the early ruling. So,
- 5:40Speaker 1: so far, you don't have any rights to push back
- 5:42Speaker 1: on this. But, you know, people are going to take
- 5:44Speaker 1: this into their own hands, I think, eventually, you know,
- 5:46Speaker 1: rip these things down on their own. And, you know,
- 5:52Speaker 1: it's not just one camera, two cameras. It's now a
- 5:56Speaker 1: dense network. And it's long-term data retention. Right? I mean,
- 6:08Speaker 1: how long before they sell this information to advertisers? You
- 6:11Speaker 1: think I'm crazy? Hey, look, Lee takes a right on X, Y,
- 6:16Speaker 1: and Z Street, drives right by and, you know, always
- 6:18Speaker 1: gets gas at this place or whatever. goes into here.
- 6:22Speaker 3: Well, let's shoot them with some advertisements from the competition.
- 6:25Speaker 1: See what happens. I mean, you might think that's far-fetched.
- 6:30Speaker 1: You might think that's the most minuscule part of this,
- 6:32Speaker 1: and it probably is, but it's just, it's a possibility.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I think right now, according to the state of Connecticut,
- 6:41Speaker 1: you can retain this information for 21 days. But this
- 6:45Speaker 1: is the nose under the camel's tent, isn't it? Let's
- 6:48Speaker 1: see how much we can get away with.
- 6:54Speaker 3: I don't know, man.
- 6:58Speaker 1: I mean, I do like the idea that we're able
- 7:01Speaker 1: to pick off criminal. The criminal element, ICE, is able
- 7:05Speaker 1: to do their job much more proficiently. I mean, that's
- 7:09Speaker 1: a flip side of this. And I've been thinking about this,
- 7:11Speaker 1: thought about this a lot last night.
- 7:13Speaker 3: Is there a hybrid of this that is doable? I'm
- 7:16Speaker 3: sure there is a.
- 7:19Speaker 1: Hybrid. But you look to other countries who have implemented this,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and it's really.
- 7:24Speaker 1: It really ends up turning into this facial recognition and
- 7:28Speaker 1: profiling and it just starts with the flock and it
- 7:31Speaker 1: ends up in the land of Big Brother in 1984.
- 7:37Speaker 1: And you might say, oh, come on, are you being overdramatic?
- 7:40Speaker 1: Am I really being overdramatic? Do you trust the government
- 7:46Speaker 1: at all? I mean, all of a sudden now we're
- 7:48Speaker 1: supposed to trust the government. Yeah, I get it. It's
- 7:50Speaker 1: law enforcement. The angle of it is law enforcement and
- 7:52Speaker 1: we are 100% behind them and I I think there's
- 7:55Speaker 1: a split even within law enforcement on this. I think
- 8:01Speaker 1: some folks think that it's a great tool and you
- 8:03Speaker 1: can go out and catch the bad guy and that's great.
- 8:05Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 8:06Speaker 3: Somehow there's got to be a way so that the.
- 8:11Speaker 1: Person who is not suspected of any crime somehow is
- 8:15Speaker 1: able to dodge this constant surveillance. And I don't know
- 8:18Speaker 1: what that answer is, but I'm sure somebody out there
- 8:21Speaker 1: who is much smarter than me can probably figure that out. But,
- 8:30Speaker 1: you know, too many of our communities, unfortunately, sleep through
- 8:33Speaker 1: these developments that are unaware that the cameras are already up.
- 8:37Speaker 3: Hundreds of them statewide.
- 8:39Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if you know that, but
- 8:40Speaker 1: there's hundreds of these cameras that are watching you. And
- 8:44Speaker 1: nobody asked if they could put them up.
- 8:45Speaker 3: They just did it. We are free men and free women.
- 8:54Speaker 1: I think capable of weighing down Risks and demanding that
- 8:59Speaker 1: the government remain, again, our servant.
- 9:02Speaker 3: Not our watcher. You want the government watching you?
- 9:08Speaker 1: I mean, what's next? The government's going to watch you
- 9:10Speaker 1: on your computer?
- 9:13Speaker 3: Got to make sure that you only go to certain
- 9:15Speaker 3: approved websites?
- 9:19Speaker 1: I mean, is there a big difference between watching you
- 9:22Speaker 1: drive around legally and watching you surf the internet? I mean,
- 9:26Speaker 1: I know the can track you I mean you're being
- 9:29Speaker 1: tracked by a million different organizations but I'm curious how
- 9:33Speaker 1: far are you willing to go for the ease of
- 9:38Speaker 1: this technology I mean I think either we develop this
- 9:50Speaker 1: some kind of some sort of hybrid system where legal
- 9:55Speaker 1: people are not thrown through the ringers. in some way, shape,
- 10:01Speaker 1: or form. Or you got to take these flock cameras
- 10:02Speaker 1: down until we can figure it out. As always, we
- 10:08Speaker 1: talked about this yesterday. The greatest safeguard of liberty is
- 10:11Speaker 1: an informed, engaged citizenry that refuses to trade freedom for
- 10:16Speaker 1: this illusion of security. All right. I don't know. Again,
- 10:30Speaker 1: to me, it's a pretty clear-cut violation of your constitutional rights.
- 10:36Speaker 1: I get it. You want to catch bad guys. We
- 10:38Speaker 1: want to get them off the street. People are going
- 10:40Speaker 1: to say, well, if you're not doing anything wrong, well,
- 10:43Speaker 1: why should you worry? But maybe somebody doesn't want to
- 10:45Speaker 1: know that they're going to a massage parlor three times
- 10:48Speaker 1: a week, or they don't want you to know that
- 10:49Speaker 1: they're going to... to Dairy Queen seven times a week.
- 10:55Speaker 1: And if they're not breaking any laws, why should they be,
- 10:58Speaker 1: you know, put through that if they're good, hardworking, law-abiding
- 11:02Speaker 1: American citizens?
- 11:06Speaker 4: All right.
- 11:07Speaker 3: We'll talk about it a little bit later on, a
- 11:08Speaker 3: little bit more.
- 11:09Speaker 1: We'll come right back. Mike DeMauro joins us after the
- 11:12Speaker 1: bottom of the hour news. 94.9 News Now, Stimulating Talk.
- 11:14Speaker 2: News and people on the news.
- 11:34Speaker 5: Appointed by former governor jody rell he's a master litigator
- 11:39Speaker 5: a fierce and respected judge and connecticut's super lawyer ladies
- 11:44Speaker 5: and gentlemen the truth teller judge john nazaro.
- 11:48Speaker 1: So i know we have a million things to talk
- 11:51Speaker 1: about and by the way if you want to call
- 11:53Speaker 1: in feel free we don't As normally on Fridays, we
- 11:56Speaker 1: just are jam-packed with great guests. So if you want
- 11:59Speaker 1: to get in a call, 860-464-9490. Now is the time
- 12:03Speaker 1: if you've got a question. You probably missed. Maybe you
- 12:05Speaker 1: weren't listening coming in. I had just an amazing conversation
- 12:08Speaker 1: with a professor about AI. I mean, AI is incredible, man.
- 12:12Speaker 6: I have to tell you, though, and you know this
- 12:13Speaker 6: to be true. My son's at Meta, number two son.
- 12:16Speaker 6: My daughter's a technology reporter. And they're all geeking out.
- 12:20Speaker 6: They're all geeking out. And me, I'm like a dinosaur.
- 12:23Speaker 4: I'm an idiot. You know, this stuff is still foreign
- 12:25Speaker 4: to me.
- 12:26Speaker 1: I know, but it's like, he was just explaining how these,
- 12:29Speaker 1: you know, you and me right now, as idiots as
- 12:31Speaker 1: we are, when it comes to this, he was just saying,
- 12:33Speaker 1: if you just type in a few, you know, specific commands, it'll,
- 12:38Speaker 1: it'll design build and you can download an app like
- 12:42Speaker 1: in five minutes. And I don't know. It's just incredible.
- 12:45Speaker 3: And now they're talking, these AI, you know, bots are not.
- 12:49Speaker 1: Bots, but the creations are talking to each other and they're,
- 12:52Speaker 1: It's amazing.
- 12:53Speaker 4: So I'm going to give my son a plug. He's
- 12:55Speaker 4: launched a martial arts app.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Okay, here we go.
- 12:59Speaker 6: He and his geeky coder coworkers. A couple of Asian dudes.
- 13:04Speaker 6: And I'm going to get flack for this, but that's redundant.
- 13:07Speaker 6: I can say that for those.
- 13:09Speaker 4: I'm Asian.
- 13:10Speaker 1: All right.
- 13:10Speaker 4: I'm the guy with the camera, you know.
- 13:14Speaker 1: Right.
- 13:14Speaker 4: It was holding the iPhone backwards.
- 13:16Speaker 1: All right.
- 13:17Speaker 6: So they launched an app and they were pitching it
- 13:18Speaker 6: to venture capital and they were looking, I think, for
- 13:20Speaker 6: five million seed money.
- 13:22Speaker 4: And that's a big ask. And I think what happened.
- 13:24Speaker 6: Was and I'm telling him, I'm telling everybody his business
- 13:26Speaker 6: is They did not succeed.
- 13:28Speaker 4: I think they're funding it themselves.
- 13:29Speaker 1: Why don't they just ask you?
- 13:31Speaker 3: I got a few extra mil.
- 13:33Speaker 4: Go to Elon. Go to Elon.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Well, that's great, though, that they have that kind of.
- 13:37Speaker 6: Well, they're all immersed and it's all things martial arts related,
- 13:41Speaker 6: whether it's weapons, whether it's tournaments.
- 13:42Speaker 4: A lot going on there.
- 13:44Speaker 1: That's cool, man.
- 13:44Speaker 4: There's a need for it.
- 13:45Speaker 1: Well, watch for that. Yeah.
- 13:46Speaker 2: All right.
- 13:47Speaker 1: If you guys, like I said, if you have a question,
- 13:48Speaker 1: call up. So let's start with Fauci.
- 13:50Speaker 5: Sure.
- 13:50Speaker 1: That was the big news. I'm sure you watched it.
- 13:53Speaker 1: Taking the fifth. Taking the fifth. Taking the fifth. Your thoughts.
- 13:56Speaker 6: Well, you know, some of the some of the response
- 13:58Speaker 6: I was watching some of the votes live and I'm
- 14:00Speaker 6: a little disappointed and I have to be candid. So,
- 14:03Speaker 6: you know, I'm going to be critical here. I was
- 14:05Speaker 6: disappointed in our senator, Richard Blumenthal. And I know Richard
- 14:09Speaker 6: and I can't say we're friends, but my daughter did
- 14:11Speaker 6: work for him and other family members recently. And I
- 14:16Speaker 6: have to tell you, though, he he he moved for
- 14:18Speaker 6: an amendment to give Fauci immunity. And it failed, not surprisingly,
- 14:24Speaker 6: because the committee is controlled by Republicans. So the vote,
- 14:26Speaker 6: not surprisingly again, went down party lines. They called the
- 14:29Speaker 6: Republican senators first.
- 14:31Speaker 4: No, no, no. And then the Democrats.
- 14:33Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes.
- 14:34Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting.
- 14:35Speaker 6: Fetterman, he voted with the Democrats right down the line.
- 14:38Speaker 6: So all this talk about Fetterman changing parties.
- 14:40Speaker 4: He voted. So this is interesting. Why give immunity? I'm
- 14:46Speaker 4: talking about going forward.
- 14:46Speaker 6: Because the argument for those that haven't watched television and
- 14:49Speaker 6: been under a rock, if you're granted— A pardon.
- 14:53Speaker 4: You shouldn't take the fifth.
- 14:54Speaker 6: Now, the lawyers on this committee have marched out all
- 14:57Speaker 6: kinds of case law, especially Josh Hawley, United States Supreme
- 15:01Speaker 6: Court authority going back to 1896 about how you can't invoke.
- 15:04Speaker 4: The fifth if you've been granted a pardon.
- 15:06Speaker 1: Right.
- 15:07Speaker 4: You know, it's kind of solid ground.
- 15:10Speaker 6: Educators, professors are going to debate it.
- 15:12Speaker 4: So now it's referred to the DOJ. I think this
- 15:15Speaker 4: is all theater. I hate to say it.
- 15:17Speaker 6: I think it's a lot of busy work of sniping
- 15:20Speaker 6: and backbiting. And as much as I don't like Fauci
- 15:23Speaker 6: and call me crazy and I'm not an anti-science person,
- 15:26Speaker 6: I do think he misrepresented things. As much as I
- 15:28Speaker 6: don't like it, can we get to business? Can we
- 15:31Speaker 6: get the business of the government? We've got two wars
- 15:33Speaker 6: going on. Certainly we don't want the problem to recur
- 15:37Speaker 6: if there's another pathogen because we've got to worry about
- 15:40Speaker 6: our water supply, our grid. And all the things we
- 15:43Speaker 6: know the bad guys will be attacking. And I want
- 15:46Speaker 6: to take exception to your previous caller. There was a comment.
- 15:49Speaker 6: I was listening to the geek conversation about AI. He
- 15:52Speaker 6: made a statement about the Chinese are looking to improve
- 15:55Speaker 6: quality of life.
- 15:55Speaker 4: The scientists, I said, oh, no.
- 15:57Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
- 15:58Speaker 6: I'm one of those guys. I think they're bad actors.
- 16:01Speaker 6: And they're government agents. And they're looking to undermine the world.
- 16:05Speaker 6: That's what's going on with their government. And that's true
- 16:07Speaker 6: with Russia. That's true with China. These guys are not.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Our friends.
- 16:11Speaker 1: That's why I asked. I threw that out there because
- 16:13Speaker 1: I wanted to get his opinion. Obviously, we can have
- 16:16Speaker 1: a regulating body in the United States, but if China
- 16:19Speaker 1: doesn't have one. No.
- 16:20Speaker 3: It's a joke.
- 16:22Speaker 1: It's like dealing with the climate control thing or pollution control.
- 16:27Speaker 1: If we don't stop them, what difference does it make?
- 16:30Speaker 4: What about world labor?
- 16:30Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 16:31Speaker 6: What about paying $ 2 a month? These people in Sri
- 16:34Speaker 6: Lanka mining cobalt.
- 16:36Speaker 1: All right, so the Fauci situation, we talked a little
- 16:38Speaker 1: bit about last week, but in the end, you think
- 16:41Speaker 1: you would, just from the idea of let's make America
- 16:45Speaker 1: just a safer, healthier place, you should.
- 16:47Speaker 3: Tell the truth.
- 16:48Speaker 6: Well, the problem, and I said this last week, when
- 16:50Speaker 6: you have the chairman saying, I want your head on
- 16:52Speaker 6: the stick, you got to invoke the fifth. And I
- 16:56Speaker 6: would have advised him thusly, and it's not a good look.
- 17:00Speaker 4: Again, what is the goal?
- 17:02Speaker 6: We want to preserve our nation because the water supply
- 17:05Speaker 6: is next and the grid is next.
- 17:07Speaker 4: And it's probably already happening. I got to tell you,
- 17:10Speaker 4: these agents, whether it's FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, they got
- 17:14Speaker 4: a tough job. Mark Wayne Mullen. I mean, they're just
- 17:17Speaker 4: constantly stressed out working overtime. Bongino lasted a year.
- 17:20Speaker 1: Yeah. I tell you, you mentioned the. The grid, and
- 17:24Speaker 1: you mentioned water.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Oh, it scares me.
- 17:26Speaker 1: That scares me. I think we're so intertwined with the
- 17:29Speaker 1: Internet now and how everything, whether it's our money, banking, electricity,
- 17:33Speaker 1: everything goes through the net. If that ever gets hacked
- 17:36Speaker 1: and goes down, it's going to be instant chaos.
- 17:39Speaker 6: Yeah, and I don't want to be a panic monger. Power, finance, water, right?
- 17:45Speaker 6: So all you preppers out there, stock up.
- 17:48Speaker 4: It's kind of scary.
- 17:49Speaker 3: I mean, if you lose power— I say I'm not
- 17:51Speaker 3: afraid of.
- 17:52Speaker 1: Much, but— People sometimes don't put it all together. If
- 17:56Speaker 1: electricity goes out, you ain't getting gas. There's things that
- 17:59Speaker 1: aren't happening. You're not going to be able to go
- 18:01Speaker 1: to the store.
- 18:02Speaker 4: There's going to be no food.
- 18:03Speaker 6: Remember when we were in the aisles of the grocery
- 18:05Speaker 6: store seeing empty shelves and no lettuce, no chicken, people
- 18:10Speaker 6: wrestling over toilet paper?
- 18:12Speaker 1: What the heck?
- 18:13Speaker 2: No, no.
- 18:13Speaker 6: This is like an episode of Twilight Zone. I felt
- 18:16Speaker 6: Rod Serling in the corner.
- 18:17Speaker 1: Yeah, no kidding. John Nazaro with us. No, okay. So
- 18:21Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about this. I opened the
- 18:23Speaker 1: show with this, and it seems to be a split.
- 18:26Speaker 1: There's a split. Well, not even a split. I would
- 18:29Speaker 1: almost say it's a 70-30, you know, sort of a
- 18:31Speaker 1: split up 70-30. These flock cameras, right? Yeah. Nobody asked
- 18:38Speaker 1: to put them up. They just did. Who's funding that?
- 18:41Speaker 1: Who's looking at that? I know some police like it
- 18:44Speaker 1: because it makes it easier for them to solve crimes.
- 18:46Speaker 3: But where are we constitutionally with them just watching us?
- 18:50Speaker 4: I just had a discussion the other day. I'm in
- 18:52Speaker 4: favor of it. See, I'm okay with that.
- 18:54Speaker 6: We fought to get cameras in downtown Pawkatuck, and I
- 18:57Speaker 6: live in Stonington, because there's so much bad stuff going on,
- 19:00Speaker 6: drug dealing in front of a bank downtown. And now
- 19:03Speaker 6: we've got cameras, and I'm okay with that. And I
- 19:05Speaker 6: think they're helpful.
- 19:07Speaker 4: I'm not worried. Again, big brother looking over our shoulder.
- 19:10Speaker 1: Guess what?
- 19:10Speaker 6: They're already doing it. We have something called a cell phone.
- 19:13Speaker 6: Everything we say is being tracked, cataloged. Is it coincidental
- 19:17Speaker 6: when you think of something, you say something, and the
- 19:19Speaker 6: next thing you.
- 19:19Speaker 4: Know, you get five ads popping up? So it's already happening.
- 19:23Speaker 1: But I choose to carry myself. True.
- 19:25Speaker 3: So that's the difference.
- 19:27Speaker 1: And I was wrestling with this, too, because some people
- 19:29Speaker 1: that I talk to, law enforcement folks, they like it.
- 19:32Speaker 3: Some others don't.
- 19:33Speaker 1: Some like it. Some don't. But I feel like your
- 19:37Speaker 1: big brother is watching.
- 19:39Speaker 4: It's really helpful.
- 19:40Speaker 6: I know a guy that was installing the cameras in downtown,
- 19:43Speaker 6: and a guy came up to him. be careful not
- 19:45Speaker 6: to mention names and and it's a guy known to
- 19:47Speaker 6: carry a box cutter and he says what are you
- 19:49Speaker 6: doing well i'm stalling cameras you know and he started
- 19:52Speaker 6: giving a hard time he says no you don't understand
- 19:54Speaker 6: this is the way of the future that was like
- 19:55Speaker 6: 10 years ago yeah 12 years ago so i'm okay
- 19:58Speaker 6: because i have ceded to the conclusion that there's no
- 20:03Speaker 6: reasonable expectation of privacy Privacy is.
- 20:05Speaker 4: A lost concept.
- 20:06Speaker 6: People were offended that Fauci's computer emails were revealed.
- 20:11Speaker 4: Well, what a dope.
- 20:13Speaker 6: Anybody that types on a work computer, let alone a
- 20:16Speaker 6: government computer, you have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
- 20:20Speaker 4: And I did. I'm writing a book. I got drafts.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Oh, you are? Okay.
- 20:23Speaker 6: You know, I've been writing a long time. There's little anecdotes.
- 20:26Speaker 6: And I put it on a work computer. And I
- 20:28Speaker 6: used to say to people when I was a judge
- 20:30Speaker 6: and I was traveling from district to district, I don't
- 20:32Speaker 6: care if you rifle through my desk. I have no
- 20:34Speaker 6: expectation of privacy. I keep nothing private in there. This
- 20:37Speaker 6: is a government thing.
- 20:38Speaker 1: So the idea of the Fourth Amendment doesn't play?
- 20:41Speaker 4: Fourth Amendment, yes.
- 20:43Speaker 6: There shall not be unreasonable search and seizure. It's a
- 20:47Speaker 6: tough thing.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Government access, is it? I don't know. Everybody's walking in
- 20:51Speaker 4: plain sight, hiding in plain sight. A lot of valuable information.
- 20:54Speaker 1: We talked about China, though, too. China has facial recognition everywhere. And,
- 20:59Speaker 1: you know, they're catching people jaywalking. They're sending them tickets. It's,
- 21:02Speaker 1: you know, they're taking, well, not really tickets. They're taking
- 21:04Speaker 1: away their points.
- 21:05Speaker 4: There's no theft in China. There's no theft in Turkey.
- 21:08Speaker 1: You know why?
- 21:09Speaker 4: Because they cut your hand off.
- 21:11Speaker 6: It's not a good look walking around with one paw
- 21:13Speaker 6: in Turkey. So they have a real good incentive not
- 21:16Speaker 6: to do bad things.
- 21:17Speaker 1: It's interesting. It's an interesting conversation, to say the least.
- 21:21Speaker 1: All right, so there was another story out. Trump regulators
- 21:25Speaker 1: moved to curtail lending to undocumented immigrants. I guess the
- 21:29Speaker 1: federal regulators last couple weeks ago, they directed banks and
- 21:33Speaker 1: credit unions to more closely scrutinize loans going out to immigrants.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Thoughts on that?
- 21:38Speaker 4: Well, the vice is getting tighter and tighter and tighter.
- 21:42Speaker 4: It's sad.
- 21:43Speaker 6: I'm going to give you another perspective because I'm going
- 21:45Speaker 6: to say it. I know people and they consult me.
- 21:48Speaker 6: who are undocumented. They're what we call overstays.
- 21:51Speaker 4: They had a visa.
- 21:52Speaker 1: It expired.
- 21:53Speaker 6: They're afraid to avail themselves of any government services, whether
- 21:58Speaker 6: it's medical care and that kind of thing. And they
- 22:00Speaker 6: can't go abroad because if they go back home, they're
- 22:04Speaker 6: not going to allow it back in. They don't have paperwork.
- 22:06Speaker 6: So there's this whole population that's living under the grid.
- 22:09Speaker 6: It's kind of a sad situation. We've got to do
- 22:11Speaker 6: something about it. So do I agree with it? I
- 22:14Speaker 6: don't like it. about loans, and they can't get loans.
- 22:18Speaker 4: So what does that mean?
- 22:18Speaker 6: They're going to pay usurious rates, and they'll be subject
- 22:22Speaker 6: to that whole subculture.
- 22:24Speaker 4: So the vice is getting tighter and tighter and tighter.
- 22:27Speaker 1: How about the latest? There's a law in place here
- 22:31Speaker 1: in the state of Connecticut where now there's elections coming up,
- 22:34Speaker 1: and there's primaries coming up. Law enforcement folks can't have
- 22:37Speaker 1: to be 250 feet or more away from a polling
- 22:40Speaker 1: place because, according to the governor... It puts the people
- 22:45Speaker 1: undocumented in— they feel like it adds to their angst, and
- 22:51Speaker 1: they don't want them to feel threatened. And then the
- 22:53Speaker 1: response is, well, they shouldn't be voting anyway, right? I mean,
- 22:56Speaker 1: we're not— what are we doing, right?
- 22:58Speaker 4: Let's protect the illegal vote block.
- 23:00Speaker 3: So, I mean, you know, and the cops are ticked
- 23:03Speaker 3: off of that.
- 23:03Speaker 1: They're actually offended by it. I don't blame them. It's
- 23:05Speaker 1: a crazy train.
- 23:05Speaker 6: I mean, when we have lawmakers, whether it's a governor, federal,
- 23:09Speaker 6: state legislation, trying to disempower— As someone said the other
- 23:14Speaker 6: day during the hearings, these are laws passed by Congress.
- 23:17Speaker 6: I think it was Mark Wayne Mullen. I watched the
- 23:19Speaker 6: speech again that he gave before committee. The laws are
- 23:23Speaker 6: on the books. We have ICE for a reason. If
- 23:26Speaker 6: you don't like the law, change the law. But don't
- 23:28Speaker 6: disempower an agency from doing their statutory duty, and that
- 23:32Speaker 6: includes law enforcement officers. So it really is– again, I
- 23:36Speaker 6: talk about Alice in Wonderland. Up is down, down is up.
- 23:39Speaker 4: It's not right.
- 23:40Speaker 6: And it's also political candidates– can stand X amount of feet.
- 23:45Speaker 6: You know, the whole intimidation thing. Enough with the intimidation.
- 23:48Speaker 6: Police are there to help and protect. Yeah, they've done
- 23:51Speaker 6: bad things.
- 23:52Speaker 1: It happens.
- 23:52Speaker 4: But you can't.
- 23:54Speaker 6: Where did the defund the police movement go? We haven't
- 23:56Speaker 6: heard much about that. BLM and all the financial impropriety.
- 24:00Speaker 6: You know, that's sort of piped down. Because we need
- 24:03Speaker 6: law enforcement. And the Democrats now, and this dovetails into politics,
- 24:08Speaker 6: they're disassociating from the Democrat Socialist Party of no police.
- 24:13Speaker 4: No Senate.
- 24:14Speaker 1: How come they keep winning, though? They keep winning some
- 24:17Speaker 1: of these.
- 24:17Speaker 4: They keep winning. For what I said, and you might
- 24:19Speaker 4: have seen this, there is an anti-incumbent fervor.
- 24:22Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:22Speaker 6: Because I don't know about you. I'm sick of all
- 24:24Speaker 6: of them. Just do the people's business. Take care of people.
- 24:28Speaker 6: Protect us. Clean our catch basins. Pass funding. Stop taxing
- 24:33Speaker 6: us to death.
- 24:33Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:34Speaker 4: When one half of our income is going to the government.
- 24:36Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 24:36Speaker 4: We have to work until May or June before you
- 24:38Speaker 4: can pocket dollar one.
- 24:40Speaker 1: Right. It's enough.
- 24:41Speaker 4: It's out of control.
- 24:42Speaker 1: Here's an interesting theoretical question for you. Sure. So you're
- 24:46Speaker 1: a representative. You're a state senator. You're a state rep.
- 24:49Speaker 1: Are they obliged to listen to the constituents, or are
- 24:55Speaker 1: they more obliged to listen to their own inner self
- 24:59Speaker 1: to do what's right when they're voting, casting a vote?
- 25:02Speaker 4: I don't think it's an either-or, and I'm not doing
- 25:05Speaker 4: the lawyer dodge.
- 25:06Speaker 1: I think it's both.
- 25:07Speaker 4: I mean, you have a duty to your constituents.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Right.
- 25:09Speaker 4: And you have a duty also to do a vote
- 25:11Speaker 4: with your conscience and reason. It's like the issue of religion.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Right.
- 25:15Speaker 6: You may be a Catholic, but should that rule your
- 25:18Speaker 6: decision making? And I respect those politicians who say, hey,
- 25:21Speaker 6: you know, when I'm an elected official, I've got to
- 25:23Speaker 6: park my personal beliefs and do what's right for the people.
- 25:26Speaker 4: So I think it's a combination. I don't think it's a.
- 25:28Speaker 1: Either or. No, I bring it up because there's been
- 25:31Speaker 1: debates about this because, you know, if you're representing people,
- 25:34Speaker 1: but let's say the people in your district want you
- 25:36Speaker 1: to vote for a billion dollar, an extra billion dollar
- 25:40Speaker 1: tax on billionaires. Yeah. Right. And you, as a fiscal conservative,
- 25:43Speaker 1: you're like, well, that's a bad idea.
- 25:45Speaker 6: Right.
- 25:45Speaker 1: Right. And then you vote against that.
- 25:47Speaker 4: You've got to vote your conscience. I have that problem
- 25:49Speaker 4: as a lawyer.
- 25:50Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:50Speaker 6: As a lawyer, I'm sometimes telling, I often tell clients
- 25:54Speaker 6: something they don't want to hear.
- 25:55Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 25:55Speaker 6: But sometimes I have to protect the client from himself
- 25:59Speaker 6: or herself because they're going to make a bad decision.
- 26:01Speaker 6: And I used to tell people, look, if you're going
- 26:03Speaker 6: to pay me, listen to me.
- 26:04Speaker 4: Otherwise, fire me. Why are you hiring me? You're paying
- 26:06Speaker 4: me a lot of money. You're not listening to me.
- 26:08Speaker 1: Good point. All right, one more. Major appeals court declares
- 26:12Speaker 1: New Jersey AR-15 ban unconstitutional in landmark Second Amendment ruling.
- 26:17Speaker 1: AR-15 is good to go in New Jersey. People were
- 26:19Speaker 1: celebrating that a couple weeks ago.
- 26:21Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the right ruling. You know, I
- 26:24Speaker 6: shot it. We talked about this. I shot an AR-15.
- 26:27Speaker 6: And people are frightened. And when we start banning certain things,
- 26:32Speaker 6: Connecticut has been successful.
- 26:34Speaker 4: We'll see where it goes.
- 26:35Speaker 6: We're constantly testing the bounds of the Second Amendment. The
- 26:39Speaker 6: right to bear arms shall not be infringed. What a
- 26:42Speaker 6: short amendment. And it's generated so much case law. There
- 26:45Speaker 6: are people that— I remember when Obama, the theory was that
- 26:49Speaker 6: he was confiscating all the ammunition— They were going to
- 26:51Speaker 6: outlaw guns.
- 26:52Speaker 4: You couldn't find ammo anywhere. It was scary.
- 26:55Speaker 3: All right, Judge, what do you got going on?
- 26:57Speaker 1: You got any big cases we need to know about?
- 26:59Speaker 4: We got a lot going on. I will say this.
- 27:01Speaker 4: There's a huge increase. I'm not happy with this.
- 27:04Speaker 6: With domestic violence and also orders of protection involving family members,
- 27:10Speaker 6: I'm getting a lot of calls and appearing in criminal court.
- 27:13Speaker 4: Be careful.
- 27:13Speaker 6: You can be arrested if somebody says that you grabbed
- 27:16Speaker 6: them wrongly and that kind of thing. It's a very
- 27:18Speaker 6: scary thing. And this Tracy Thurman case, and we had
- 27:21Speaker 6: a caller call about this from Torrington. That was the
- 27:24Speaker 6: case where the Torrington Police Department was held liable for
- 27:26Speaker 6: millions of dollars. All that did was take the responsibility
- 27:29Speaker 6: out of the local police in a domestic situation. Now
- 27:33Speaker 6: they have to arrest everybody, protective order on everybody, and
- 27:36Speaker 6: let the prosecutor sort it out.
- 27:38Speaker 4: I don't like that. In the old days, right, you
- 27:40Speaker 4: go left, you go right, chill off. Not everybody has
- 27:44Speaker 4: to be arrested. But, boy, I tell you, the phone's ringing,
- 27:47Speaker 4: very busy.
- 27:47Speaker 6: You can find me at Nazaro Law in New London
- 27:50Speaker 6: across from the Washington Street Coffee House.
- 27:52Speaker 4: I do personal injury and criminal litigation.
- 27:54Speaker 1: And coffee.
- 27:55Speaker 4: I buy you coffee.
- 27:56Speaker 1: Espresso. All right, buddy. Have a good weekend.
- 27:58Speaker 4: Thank you so much.
- 27:59Speaker 1: All right, kid. We'll come back. My brother next. Stick around.
- 28:04Speaker 4: I ain't here for maybe.
- 28:08Speaker 1: You have sent me this amazing cover letter, a breakdown
- 28:13Speaker 1: of what we're going to talk about today. I posted
- 28:15Speaker 1: it for everybody. up on Facebook. If you want to
- 28:17Speaker 1: follow along, it's got some hyperlinks in it where people
- 28:20Speaker 1: can go and take a look at some stuff. But
- 28:22Speaker 1: where did you want to start today? I'll let you,
- 28:24Speaker 1: you tell us where you want to start.
- 28:26Speaker 2: Well, the main reason I reached out to you is
- 28:28Speaker 2: because there were a few things that happened over the
- 28:29Speaker 2: past couple of weeks, two specific things. One was the, um,
- 28:33Speaker 2: hugging face hack hack that happened from open AI. That's
- 28:36Speaker 2: been in the news a lot. And I just wanted
- 28:37Speaker 2: to talk about that a little bit. And then, um,
- 28:41Speaker 2: Second was a letter that came out signed by over 1,200
- 28:46Speaker 2: AI researchers, the people inside actually doing this work, saying, hey,
- 28:50Speaker 2: we need to be regulated. The competition is huge, and
- 28:54Speaker 2: we need to be regulated. So I wanted to talk
- 28:55Speaker 2: about them. But the truth is I haven't been here
- 28:57Speaker 2: to talk about this since March. And in five months,
- 29:00Speaker 2: it's crazy what all is happening. And the rate of
- 29:02Speaker 2: change is huge. And so it seemed like we should
- 29:04Speaker 2: start by kind of going over that a little bit
- 29:08Speaker 2: and talking about the– the recent changes.
- 29:10Speaker 1: All right. So last time we talked about all these different, uh,
- 29:13Speaker 1: AI platforms, whether it was Claude or open AI or
- 29:16Speaker 1: Grok or whatever. And, and you said they all kind
- 29:18Speaker 1: of do their own little different things a little differently.
- 29:20Speaker 1: And so I started actually from that conversation, I started
- 29:22Speaker 1: to experiment with some of the other AIs and I
- 29:25Speaker 1: find they all do a little, little different stuff. Right. Yep.
- 29:28Speaker 1: All right. So tell me what the big stuff has
- 29:29Speaker 1: happened in the last five months.
- 29:31Speaker 4: So, um, The first thing is just the rate of
- 29:34Speaker 4: change is crazy. It's huge.
- 29:37Speaker 2: Just to review, this all started like three and a
- 29:39Speaker 2: half years ago. when the first OpenAI Chat GBT 3.5
- 29:44Speaker 2: came out in November of 22. So it's not that old.
- 29:48Speaker 2: And at that point, there was one model. And then
- 29:51Speaker 2: Google and Anthropic came in. So a few months later,
- 29:54Speaker 2: there were three models. At this point, there are at
- 29:57Speaker 2: least 13 companies around the world creating frontier models. That
- 30:03Speaker 2: means they're actually making it learn new things and do
- 30:07Speaker 2: new things that it's never done before. Now, there are
- 30:09Speaker 2: all kinds of agents that are leveraging the knowledge of those.
- 30:13Speaker 2: Like those are the engines. There's 13 engines, and there
- 30:17Speaker 2: are all kinds of agents doing things that you and
- 30:18Speaker 2: I would want on a day-to-day basis. But as far
- 30:21Speaker 2: as the frontier models go, There are a lot more
- 30:24Speaker 2: than there were before. And actually, in the document that
- 30:28Speaker 2: I sent you, there's a graph of kind of not
- 30:30Speaker 2: only the proliferation of companies doing these models, but also
- 30:37Speaker 2: kind of like how they're leapfrogging each other in terms
- 30:41Speaker 2: of capabilities and stuff like that.
- 30:42Speaker 4: But they're also the idea of agents.
- 30:46Speaker 2: Just to frame this, agents are, again, they're like a
- 30:50Speaker 2: day-to-day tool. We talked about that before, and we have
- 30:53Speaker 2: time to talk about it, so I'm not going to
- 30:54Speaker 2: talk about that again.
- 30:56Speaker 4: But they are day-to-day tools you can set up to.
- 31:01Speaker 2: Manage your calendar, for managing your email, for scheduling a
- 31:05Speaker 2: trip that you're going to.
- 31:06Speaker 4: Take, all kinds of day-to-day things you can do.
- 31:08Speaker 2: They're all leveraging these powerful models, but they're little day-to-day
- 31:13Speaker 2: things going on. Well, at this point, it's estimated there
- 31:16Speaker 2: are 29 million active agents that are enterprise that are like,
- 31:22Speaker 2: that are discoverable, that are big deal kind of like
- 31:25Speaker 2: companies are using it to solve problems. 29 million at
- 31:28Speaker 2: this point, it's estimated that by 1929, there will be
- 31:32Speaker 2: a billion. It's the proliferation of this is growing so fast.
- 31:36Speaker 4: It's crazy.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Take a second and just please, I'm sorry to, I don't,
- 31:39Speaker 1: I don't want to slow you down, but what's explain
- 31:40Speaker 1: the agent scenario again. What does that mean?
- 31:43Speaker 2: What it is is, um, So the model itself does
- 31:49Speaker 2: the heavy thinking. It's like an engine on a car
- 31:51Speaker 2: or something, or a battery, if you want to say.
- 31:54Speaker 2: And the agents are— let' s go with the metaphor of a battery.
- 31:59Speaker 2: The agents are tools you would use that— that use
- 32:03Speaker 2: the power from the battery to do something on a
- 32:06Speaker 2: day to day basis. So if it's a battery, you
- 32:07Speaker 2: might use a hairdryer or you might use a fan
- 32:10Speaker 2: or you might use a refrigerator or whatever. There are
- 32:13Speaker 2: things that you, and if you look it up, if
- 32:16Speaker 2: you just search it on any of these and say
- 32:18Speaker 2: what I do this on a day to day basis,
- 32:20Speaker 2: or this is my job, what are.
- 32:21Speaker 4: Some agents I would use?
- 32:22Speaker 2: It will describe, but the obvious, that's what I would
- 32:26Speaker 2: do is go for the, whatever you're trying to do,
- 32:28Speaker 2: say what agents would be relevant, but, There are just
- 32:31Speaker 2: tons of them. And as I said, the obvious generic
- 32:35Speaker 2: ones are there are agents that will plan a trip
- 32:38Speaker 2: for you. So you could say, I want to go
- 32:39Speaker 2: to Cancun, but I don't care if it's exactly Cancun.
- 32:42Speaker 2: It could be somewhere in the Caribbean. Here's my time frame.
- 32:46Speaker 2: I want the price to be low. Same thing as
- 32:48Speaker 2: you would be thinking in your own head about what.
- 32:50Speaker 1: You're going to do.
- 32:51Speaker 4: I want the price to be low. I don't like
- 32:52Speaker 4: to do early morning flights. Tell it things like that.
- 32:57Speaker 2: And then it will go out and– If you tell
- 33:01Speaker 2: it to and give it authority to, it will actually
- 33:04Speaker 2: go out and book the flights for you and book
- 33:06Speaker 2: the hotel and all that. But most people wouldn't do that.
- 33:08Speaker 2: Most people would say, come back and tell me all
- 33:10Speaker 2: the options, and then I'll choose them, and then.
- 33:15Speaker 4: You can say, okay, like this, this, this, this, go
- 33:18Speaker 4: ahead and book them.
- 33:19Speaker 1: All right, and that's amazing. I didn't even realize that.
- 33:21Speaker 1: So now let's say, let's use me for an example.
- 33:24Speaker 1: So if I went to chat GPT and I said,
- 33:27Speaker 1: find me, Do I tell it to find me an agent,
- 33:30Speaker 1: or do I just say, what I want to do
- 33:32Speaker 1: is I want you to give me the most streamlined
- 33:35Speaker 1: mechanism for preparing a talk radio show every day, X, Y,
- 33:39Speaker 1: and Z, and then it would go out and kind
- 33:42Speaker 1: of create that for me?
- 33:45Speaker 2: The problem is there are– and this is what I'm
- 33:47Speaker 2: talking about here is there are so many choices that
- 33:49Speaker 2: if you say– if you ask that, yes, what it
- 33:52Speaker 2: will do, it will say you've got multiple options.
- 33:55Speaker 4: You– You can.
- 33:57Speaker 2: Here are some agents that can help you with that.
- 34:00Speaker 2: And it will list them. But you could specifically search
- 34:03Speaker 2: and say, OK, agent seems like the way to go.
- 34:05Speaker 2: Tell me more agents and tell me how they and
- 34:08Speaker 2: what would be best about.
- 34:09Speaker 4: One of the other.
- 34:10Speaker 2: Or it could create. I talked before about vibe coding,
- 34:15Speaker 2: which is you and I. without any coding background, can
- 34:19Speaker 2: code something by telling it exactly what you want in prose.
- 34:25Speaker 4: You just write.
- 34:27Speaker 4: Sorry, since we're talking about this.
- 34:29Speaker 2: I did this a little more than a year ago
- 34:32Speaker 2: when vibe coding first started coming. Created a little app
- 34:37Speaker 2: that you could play with that allows you to... I
- 34:40Speaker 2: wrote a short paragraph and said... I want an app
- 34:43Speaker 2: that would allow a player to make new rules of chess,
- 34:46Speaker 2: change the size of the board from 5x5 to 12x12,
- 34:50Speaker 2: but could anything in between, to change what pieces are
- 34:53Speaker 2: on the board, to make up new pieces if they want.
- 34:57Speaker 2: And then when they change the rules, they could play
- 35:00Speaker 2: against a computer at six different levels of ability or
- 35:04Speaker 2: play against another person online.
- 35:06Speaker 4: I wrote that, basically.
- 35:08Speaker 2: It was a short paragraph, and it generated a few
- 35:13Speaker 2: thousand lines of code, and it's a game that you
- 35:15Speaker 2: can play.
- 35:15Speaker 1: Are you kidding me right now?
- 35:17Speaker 4: It's crazy.
- 35:17Speaker 1: So does it spit you back a link, or the
- 35:20Speaker 1: actual– how does it spit back the app?
- 35:23Speaker 4: What it does is two things. It shows you all
- 35:26Speaker 4: the code.
- 35:26Speaker 2: It shows you all the code, but then it gives
- 35:28Speaker 2: you a link, and it says download this file, and
- 35:30Speaker 2: it was an index file. So it says– um, download
- 35:34Speaker 2: this file and you download it, click on it and
- 35:36Speaker 2: it opens up and.
- 35:37Speaker 4: You, and you can play and you've got a game. And,
- 35:39Speaker 4: and so, and actually this feeds.
- 35:41Speaker 2: Into something that I'm going to say later is as
- 35:44Speaker 2: soon as, as when you unleash your imagination, which I
- 35:47Speaker 2: see you've done all around your walls with pictures of
- 35:50Speaker 2: all kinds of creative things. But, um, You can make anything,
- 35:55Speaker 2: which means the entrepreneurial activity has gone crazy. The number
- 35:59Speaker 2: of new businesses related to AI, you know, using AI,
- 36:04Speaker 2: just because people have ideas. People are standing in the shower,
- 36:06Speaker 2: people are driving to work, whatever, and they go, wouldn't
- 36:07Speaker 2: it be great if we had blah, blah, blah? And
- 36:09Speaker 2: they look it up, and there isn't a thing like that.
- 36:10Speaker 2: And then they go in, and you don't have to
- 36:13Speaker 2: be a programmer. You can vibe code. You can vibe
- 36:16Speaker 2: code anything. So getting back to your original question, the
- 36:19Speaker 2: simplest thing would be an agent, and I would– You
- 36:22Speaker 2: could just put in the question. I want to, I
- 36:25Speaker 2: can't remember exactly your question, but how would be my
- 36:27Speaker 2: best way to put together a show?
- 36:29Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 36:30Speaker 2: It will offer you, you know, three, five, 10 different options.
- 36:34Speaker 2: And then you could say, okay, please drill down on
- 36:37Speaker 2: this one.
- 36:38Speaker 4: I really like this one.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Tell me more about this and suggest some agents that
- 36:42Speaker 2: could be helpful in this. And people use it for
- 36:44Speaker 2: their calendars. They people use it for, I mean, But
- 36:48Speaker 2: way more sophisticated. Businesses that are– in fact, in the
- 36:52Speaker 2: AI hugging, the hugging face hack that happened, agents were
- 36:59Speaker 2: doing that. So agents are– there are 29 million of them.
- 37:04Speaker 2: There are expected to be a billion of them by 1929.
- 37:07Speaker 2: So it's growing really quickly. Okay.
- 37:10Speaker 4: Major updates. You know, at the beginning we.
- 37:12Speaker 2: Had 3.5 and then we got 4.0 like six months
- 37:14Speaker 2: later and we were getting updates. In 2023, there were
- 37:17Speaker 2: 18 major updates releases by the companies.
- 37:19Speaker 4: In 2024, there were 32. In 2025, there were 45
- 37:20Speaker 4: new updates.
- 37:20Speaker 2: So that's almost one a week that was happening. In
- 37:39Speaker 2: this year, it's averaging three major updates a week. So
- 37:45Speaker 2: the rate of change of this, I actually read something
- 37:47Speaker 2: from somebody who comments on this, and he said, I
- 37:51Speaker 2: have this as my full-time job, and I can't keep
- 37:53Speaker 2: on top of it.
- 37:54Speaker 4: It's going so fast. It's really challenging.
- 37:57Speaker 1: Is it doing it to itself or are the programmers
- 38:00Speaker 1: making the updates? Both. Okay.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Because the programmers are figuring out new things.
- 38:05Speaker 4: They're improving.
- 38:06Speaker 2: The competition is very stiff because it's become clear that
- 38:10Speaker 2: this is a big, important thing. But to your point,
- 38:14Speaker 2: the AI has become good enough that it is helping
- 38:18Speaker 2: program itself.
- 38:19Speaker 4: It is improving itself.
- 38:21Speaker 1: Yeah, that's amazing. Okay, that's incredible.
- 38:23Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's writing itself, and so the rate of
- 38:26Speaker 2: change is accelerating. I talked about distillation before. I don't
- 38:30Speaker 2: want to go into that a lot, but sometimes when
- 38:32Speaker 2: you talk about, like, particularly some of the Chinese ones,
- 38:37Speaker 2: they have some very good programmers in China, and they're
- 38:39Speaker 2: doing some good work, but one of the things they're definitely,
- 38:42Speaker 2: or there's evidence that they're doing, is they're distilling, which
- 38:46Speaker 2: is when there's a new model that OpenAI or somebody
- 38:49Speaker 2: comes out with, Anthropic comes out with, they will have
- 38:53Speaker 2: like 10 million.
- 38:54Speaker 4: Little bots interrogate the new model and from that learn
- 38:59Speaker 4: from the new model.
- 39:00Speaker 2: And that makes it, you can be a fast follower
- 39:02Speaker 2: really cheaply. You can figure out what it's learned, what
- 39:05Speaker 2: it knows. It's kind of like, think of, you know,
- 39:08Speaker 2: I have two grandchildren. Before they can talk, they're learning
- 39:11Speaker 2: by looking all around and just figuring out what the
- 39:14Speaker 2: world's about. That's what in the core research group is
- 39:18Speaker 2: doing with the Frontier model. But once the kid gets older,
- 39:24Speaker 2: it can talk to you and it can learn things
- 39:25Speaker 2: from you and it can ask you.
- 39:27Speaker 4: And it learns a lot faster than just by looking
- 39:29Speaker 4: all around.
- 39:29Speaker 2: And so distillation is a reasonable thing, but what it
- 39:34Speaker 2: means is it seems like, oh, they're.
- 39:36Speaker 4: Catching up, they're catching up.
- 39:37Speaker 2: Well, part of the reason they're catching up is because
- 39:39Speaker 2: they're interrogating our new models.
- 39:41Speaker 4: And so.
- 39:43Speaker 2: Anyway, that is speeding up the whole thing, too, because
- 39:46Speaker 2: actually we use it in a positive way to make
- 39:48Speaker 2: our models faster. And the last thing I want to
- 39:51Speaker 2: just say on that part is the competition for this
- 39:55Speaker 2: is intense. It's intense between the different companies. The two
- 39:59Speaker 2: big players in the U.S. are Anthropic, which has Claude,
- 40:03Speaker 2: and OpenAI, which has ChatGPT. Both of those are about
- 40:08Speaker 2: to go bust. They seem like they're about to do IPOs.
- 40:11Speaker 2: They both filed. The competition is huge. They're both trying
- 40:15Speaker 2: to get a lot of visibility. They're both doing amazing
- 40:18Speaker 2: new things. in the press all the time, but there's
- 40:22Speaker 2: also huge competition between the U.S.
- 40:25Speaker 4: And China. So there's a lot of competitive pressure internally
- 40:29Speaker 4: and externally, like the U.S.
- 40:31Speaker 2: Wants to have the lead on this, China wants to
- 40:32Speaker 2: have the lead on this, and so there's a lot
- 40:34Speaker 2: of pressure, and that actually drives the second of the
- 40:38Speaker 2: two things that I was really wanting to come about,
- 40:40Speaker 2: the letter that was put together, and the letter's basically
- 40:44Speaker 2: saying the competitive pressure is huge, and The way things are,
- 40:51Speaker 2: it's hard not to just go with the competitive pressure.
- 40:54Speaker 2: An outside regulatory body needs to manage this, just as
- 40:59Speaker 2: we have with FDA and FAA and SEC. We have
- 41:04Speaker 2: all these regulatory bodies, but it needs to be international. Anyway,
- 41:07Speaker 2: we'll talk about that later. But an important thing to
- 41:11Speaker 2: keep in mind in all this is that the competitive
- 41:14Speaker 2: pressure is intense. Well, the good part of all this
- 41:16Speaker 2: is that The innovations in our day-to-day life are crazy. Like,
- 41:23Speaker 2: you may have seen a couple weeks ago it came
- 41:25Speaker 2: out that OpenAI's new model solved 10, like, long-time, open-standing
- 41:32Speaker 2: math problems that, like, nobody had solved before. And, like,
- 41:36Speaker 2: huge deals that have been validated by mathematicians, and they're all, like,
- 41:42Speaker 2: and there's... A lot of famous mathematicians, but there's one
- 41:45Speaker 2: guy named Terry Tao who's at UCLA who's, like, world
- 41:48Speaker 2: famous and, like, if you have a math problem you
- 41:50Speaker 2: can't solve, send it to him.
- 41:51Speaker 1: Right.
- 41:51Speaker 2: And he talks about that he uses it all the
- 41:53Speaker 2: time to help him do– it doesn't solve his problems,
- 41:55Speaker 2: but he helps it as an– he uses it as
- 41:57Speaker 2: an assistant. So it's helping a lot– it's solving a
- 42:00Speaker 2: lot of math problems. It's doing pharmaceutical, medicine, genetic research stuff.
- 42:06Speaker 2: It's– Chemistry is helping create better batteries, which is a
- 42:09Speaker 2: really important thing for us, for cars, for everything. Quantum
- 42:13Speaker 2: computing we talked about before, which I'm not going to
- 42:15Speaker 2: get into here, but it's.
- 42:16Speaker 4: A very sophisticated part of physics. That's it's helping with that.
- 42:21Speaker 2: It's helping with new material creation, you know, crystal superconductor,
- 42:25Speaker 2: all kinds of stuff.
- 42:27Speaker 4: It's we talked about programming.
- 42:28Speaker 2: It's helping with the vibe program broken programming, which brings
- 42:32Speaker 2: programming to you and me.
- 42:33Speaker 4: But it also is helping the experts.
- 42:35Speaker 2: I mean, my son who works at OpenAI and is
- 42:38Speaker 2: a researcher uses it all the time.
- 42:40Speaker 1: And it it.
- 42:43Speaker 2: It makes him lots, lots, lots faster, like maybe 100
- 42:46Speaker 2: times faster.
- 42:47Speaker 4: It makes him a lot faster. And he's representative. That's true.
- 42:52Speaker 2: And as I said, they're improving themselves. One kind of
- 42:55Speaker 2: side note, or not side note, but another area, entertainment industry.
- 42:58Speaker 2: I don't know if you've heard of Tilly Norwood. About
- 43:03Speaker 2: six months ago, she, which is not a person, made
- 43:07Speaker 2: the headlines because.
- 43:08Speaker 4: I think it's out of the Netherlands someplace.
- 43:12Speaker 2: They generated this person that they're now having agents for,
- 43:16Speaker 2: I mean, agents like booking agents, to try to sell
- 43:22Speaker 2: this person as a character. And I said this, I
- 43:29Speaker 2: think it was two years ago, that when opening, I
- 43:33Speaker 2: first came out with Sara, the video thing.
- 43:36Speaker 4: What's the guy's name in Atlanta?
- 43:38Speaker 2: A famous director of Anyway, decided to shut down production
- 43:44Speaker 2: of a new studio, creation of a new studio, because
- 43:47Speaker 2: he was thinking, I'm not sure we need this. So
- 43:51Speaker 2: the capability is huge in the entertainment industry. Actually, I
- 43:54Speaker 2: think actors are talking about it. It's obviously a concern,
- 43:57Speaker 2: a threat. There was a strike a few years ago,
- 43:59Speaker 2: and it was about this.
- 44:01Speaker 4: You can generate all kinds of things.
- 44:03Speaker 2: So it's really touching every part of our lives.
- 44:07Speaker 4: You can.
- 44:08Speaker 2: seems like in a good way and a lot of
- 44:10Speaker 2: things improving you know cancer research other things um some
- 44:13Speaker 2: of them feel threatening if you're in that field like
- 44:16Speaker 2: okay what am i going to do so so that's
- 44:18Speaker 2: there um and so you know getting going from there
- 44:22Speaker 2: talking about the impact on our lives there are a
- 44:25Speaker 2: couple of things people are nervous about it yeah and
- 44:31Speaker 2: i think part of it is the fault of people
- 44:34Speaker 2: like sam altman and and dario amodi who are the
- 44:37Speaker 2: CEOs of chat GPT or of OpenAI and Anthropic because
- 44:46Speaker 2: they've been talking about it replacing everybody's jobs and all
- 44:49Speaker 2: kinds of apocalyptic things.
- 44:52Speaker 4: But I always keep it in their whatever they say.
- 44:57Speaker 2: As and take it with a grain of salt they
- 45:00Speaker 2: know what they're producing they know they can see things
- 45:03Speaker 2: coming down the pipeline they know better than you and
- 45:05Speaker 2: I do but they're You know, due respect, they're not
- 45:09Speaker 2: economists and they're not social scientists. And so to predict
- 45:12Speaker 2: the impact of that isn't really what their strength area is. Like,
- 45:16Speaker 2: sometimes when you have actors or actresses talking about, you know, something,
- 45:22Speaker 2: economics or politics or something like that, you go like, okay,
- 45:25Speaker 2: that's interesting, but I'm not sure you have specialized interest or,
- 45:29Speaker 2: you know, knowledge of that.
- 45:31Speaker 4: And so... But what I can say is.
- 45:36Speaker 2: A big thing that people are worried about is unemployment.
- 45:39Speaker 2: And what I'd say is most economists think it's not
- 45:44Speaker 2: going to have a long-term change in unemployment. And what
- 45:50Speaker 2: I point to, and I gave some information.
- 45:52Speaker 1: On that.
- 45:54Speaker 2: In the appendix part, the last three pages, the Agricultural Revolution,
- 46:01Speaker 2: there are a bunch of revolutions that have happened over
- 46:03Speaker 2: the past 200 years. Agricultural Revolution, in 1900, 40%, 41%
- 46:04Speaker 2: of the population worked in agriculture.
- 46:06Speaker 4: By 1930, by 1929, 21% were. So it had been
- 46:07Speaker 4: cut in half. 20% of the people, workforce, was out of.
- 46:08Speaker 2: Its job that it had been doing before. Unemployment didn't
- 46:25Speaker 2: change over that time. Unemployment rate actually dropped a little
- 46:28Speaker 2: bit because the 20s were a roaring period and unemployment
- 46:31Speaker 2: went from like 5%, 4% or something like that. So
- 46:36Speaker 2: I think that, as I said earlier, when we were
- 46:40Speaker 2: talking about agents and things. The entrepreneurial activity that's going
- 46:45Speaker 2: on is crazy, and I've got some numbers on that
- 46:47Speaker 2: in the file I sent you. But it's picked up
- 46:51Speaker 2: in such a huge way that it is offsetting– what
- 46:55Speaker 2: people are doing is going out if they lost their
- 46:57Speaker 2: job or they left their job because they thought that
- 46:59Speaker 2: was going to– it was going to change and they
- 47:02Speaker 2: weren't going to have a job or something– They're going
- 47:04Speaker 2: and finding new things and creating new jobs by starting businesses.
- 47:10Speaker 2: The number of– I've got it down in there someplace,
- 47:14Speaker 2: but the number of startups is– has increased enormously.
- 47:18Speaker 1: What kind of startups are we doing, though, with these?
- 47:20Speaker 4: I mean, a lot of them are apps, like the
- 47:23Speaker 4: one I just said.
- 47:23Speaker 2: I mean, like, I could take this little thing that
- 47:25Speaker 2: I did about chess and make a little website about
- 47:28Speaker 2: it and then start generating income.
- 47:29Speaker 1: Gotcha.
- 47:30Speaker 2: But people are doing all kinds of services, just all kinds. Well,
- 47:35Speaker 2: I mean, frankly, you've.
- 47:36Speaker 4: Got pictures all over. I could have sold these, right?
- 47:38Speaker 2: You've got pictures all over your wall that are customized
- 47:42Speaker 2: of individuals you know. You could set up a business
- 47:44Speaker 2: doing this. Okay, you're busy doing something else, so you
- 47:47Speaker 2: didn't do that. But the point is there are lots
- 47:49Speaker 2: of people that have ideas of things that are cool
- 47:53Speaker 2: that there could be demand for. And so there's a
- 47:58Speaker 2: lot of that going on. And the other thing that's
- 48:02Speaker 2: an important thing is, There's a lot of discussion about
- 48:04Speaker 2: AI adoption prompting inequality. And this is something that particularly
- 48:09Speaker 2: is one of the points I like. I'm happy to
- 48:11Speaker 2: get to come and talk to you, to your listeners,
- 48:14Speaker 2: because we talk often about haves and have-nots. With AI,
- 48:21Speaker 2: it's the user's fault.
- 48:23Speaker 4: And use and use not. Because this is accessible to everybody.
- 48:27Speaker 1: Right.
- 48:28Speaker 2: And it has the opportunity to be the great equalizer
- 48:31Speaker 2: because I sometimes think of it like if you think
- 48:34Speaker 2: of it, it's in a race. We're in a car
- 48:36Speaker 2: race or something. Different people are going at different speeds.
- 48:39Speaker 2: All of a sudden. A new engine has become available
- 48:44Speaker 2: that could make anybody go like 10 times faster.
- 48:46Speaker 1: Right.
- 48:47Speaker 4: And all you have to do is decide to put
- 48:49Speaker 4: it in your car.
- 48:50Speaker 1: Gotcha.
- 48:50Speaker 4: All you have to do is decide to use this thing.
- 48:52Speaker 2: Right.
- 48:53Speaker 4: And it's accessible to anybody. There are free versions of
- 48:56Speaker 4: all of these things.
- 48:56Speaker 2: Right.
- 48:57Speaker 4: So you can go and use these, anybody, anywhere, even
- 49:00Speaker 4: on your phone.
- 49:01Speaker 1: Right.
- 49:01Speaker 4: I mean, that's not how I would use it, but...
- 49:04Speaker 4: On a computer.
- 49:05Speaker 2: However, you can use this and create things quite easily,
- 49:09Speaker 2: and then you can.
- 49:11Speaker 4: Start a business.
- 49:11Speaker 2: So it's as if everybody's offered a way better engine
- 49:14Speaker 2: for their car that could put you way ahead in
- 49:16Speaker 2: the race, and this is true. Anybody who puts that
- 49:20Speaker 2: new engine in their car, anybody who's using this, is
- 49:23Speaker 2: going to go a lot faster, go ahead in the race.
- 49:28Speaker 2: People who do not are going to be behind. And
- 49:31Speaker 2: so when we talk about equality, the fear is that people...
- 49:38Speaker 2: that don't use it are going to be left behind.
- 49:40Speaker 2: And I think that's true, and that's the thing I
- 49:43Speaker 2: want to talk about. And you want to use it responsibly.
- 49:44Speaker 2: I've talked about that before. There are ways to not
- 49:47Speaker 2: use it, and there are ways to not use it carefully.
- 49:50Speaker 2: And the big thing is to check the work all
- 49:52Speaker 2: the time. But using it to help you do what
- 49:56Speaker 2: you do better and faster and all that is something
- 49:58Speaker 2: we should all be doing.
- 49:59Speaker 4: And if we do, you don't have to be left behind.
- 50:01Speaker 1: All right, we're literally just scratching the surface. He's sent
- 50:04Speaker 1: us so much stuff to get through. And I want
- 50:06Speaker 1: to get through as much as we possibly can. William
- 50:09Speaker 1: Clyde is with us. If you do want to ask
- 50:11Speaker 1: him a quick question, we'll try to squeeze in a
- 50:14Speaker 1: call or two if you'd like. 860-464-9490. I do have
- 50:17Speaker 1: to take a break. We'll come right back. Stick around.
- 50:20Speaker 1: William Clyde talking AI. And speaking of AI, this is
- 50:23Speaker 1: AI right here. AI music everywhere.
- 50:25Speaker 2: AI music everywhere.
- 50:38Speaker 1: Hopefully you got a chance to listen to it from
- 50:39Speaker 1: the beginning. If not, you can go back and watch
- 50:42Speaker 1: it on Rumble. You can also listen on SoundCloud right
- 50:45Speaker 1: after the show. All right. I know like you had
- 50:48Speaker 1: talked about earlier that you wanted to talk about the hack.
- 50:50Speaker 1: So let you jump to the hack.
- 50:51Speaker 4: Yeah. And also I just add.
- 50:54Speaker 2: I encourage people if they're interested in to go grab
- 50:57Speaker 2: that document that you posted because I've got a ton
- 51:00Speaker 2: of links in there. The first half of it is
- 51:02Speaker 2: kind of the outline of what we're talking about here.
- 51:03Speaker 2: The second half is six pages altogether. The second half
- 51:08Speaker 2: is some evidence, some graphs, some numbers to support what's above.
- 51:14Speaker 2: So I think that I feel like I hope that
- 51:16Speaker 2: that's very useful.
- 51:17Speaker 1: It's an interesting piece, and it's up on Facebook, and
- 51:19Speaker 1: I'll also put it up on Twitter. on the X
- 51:21Speaker 1: when we're done with the day today. So we'll do that.
- 51:24Speaker 4: So, yeah.
- 51:25Speaker 2: So now we've kind of updated you quickly about what's
- 51:30Speaker 2: been going on the past five months. But now to
- 51:32Speaker 2: jump to two big events. The first one that was
- 51:35Speaker 2: in the news two weeks ago, maybe three weeks ago,
- 51:38Speaker 2: it actually started on July 9th and then got disclosed
- 51:42Speaker 2: towards the end of July. Um, the hacking of hugging
- 51:46Speaker 2: face and hugging face is a company that, um, that offers, uh, it's, um,
- 51:54Speaker 2: mostly open source, but it, it, uh, offers, um, some
- 51:58Speaker 2: of the agency kind of like, uh, it, it doesn't
- 52:02Speaker 2: create models of its own, but it creates tools that
- 52:05Speaker 2: are built on the models.
- 52:06Speaker 4: Like we've talked about it before, like agents and things
- 52:08Speaker 4: like that.
- 52:08Speaker 1: Okay.
- 52:09Speaker 2: Um, OpenAI was doing— well, what happened was Hugging Face announced
- 52:16Speaker 2: mid-July that they had been hacked, and they didn't know who,
- 52:20Speaker 2: but they did know it was an autonomous agent. It
- 52:22Speaker 2: wasn't a person. It was a— A computer that hacked them.
- 52:27Speaker 4: They didn't know who.
- 52:28Speaker 2: And then OpenAI, like a few days later, maybe a
- 52:32Speaker 2: week later, realized it was them that did it. And
- 52:35Speaker 2: that's one of the kind of bad things about this
- 52:38Speaker 2: is that they didn't realize it until a little later.
- 52:44Speaker 2: What happened was, and I added a link to the under.
- 52:53Speaker 4: OpenAI Hugging Face 0.4b of the document I sent.
- 52:59Speaker 2: If you want to listen to that, it's pretty technical,
- 53:01Speaker 2: but it gives a very detailed description of what happened.
- 53:04Speaker 2: Just by background, in May, first of all, OpenAI, Anthropic,
- 53:10Speaker 2: all these companies, when they have a new model, they
- 53:12Speaker 2: definitely test it for safety. They test to see what
- 53:15Speaker 2: things it will do under what circumstances. So they give
- 53:17Speaker 2: it a task, and they see what it does. To
- 53:19Speaker 2: do that, they put it in what's called a sandbox.
- 53:21Speaker 2: And sandboxes are something, if you're in technology at all,
- 53:24Speaker 2: you know about this. Because, like, when I was at
- 53:26Speaker 2: universities and we had an upgrade of a model, you
- 53:30Speaker 2: don't load– You leave the old model running and then
- 53:35Speaker 2: you get the new model in a sandbox in a
- 53:38Speaker 2: safe space that nobody has access to except the tech people.
- 53:42Speaker 2: And you test it out, do whatever it's doing. And
- 53:44Speaker 2: then once you think it's ready to go, you swap
- 53:46Speaker 2: it in for the real thing. So sandboxes are something
- 53:48Speaker 2: that's been around for a long time. It's a separate
- 53:50Speaker 2: space to kind of play around like the sandboxes, right?
- 53:54Speaker 1: Well, they.
- 53:56Speaker 2: do tests of the model's capabilities in a variety of
- 54:00Speaker 2: ways in sandboxes. And they try to have them in
- 54:02Speaker 2: separate places that they are just confined to a separate computer, basically.
- 54:08Speaker 4: It's actually a cloud, but a separate computer.
- 54:11Speaker 2: Well, they knew in May, past May, that in some
- 54:18Speaker 2: of the tests, some of the models had been able
- 54:23Speaker 2: to get out of the sandbox.
- 54:24Speaker 1: Right.
- 54:25Speaker 2: So– and I don't want to go into technical details
- 54:29Speaker 2: of it, but they set up the sandbox.
- 54:31Speaker 4: It's supposed to be– it's confined. They can't get out.
- 54:33Speaker 2: But these models are very smart, very smart, way smarter
- 54:36Speaker 2: than you or I or even than.
- 54:38Speaker 4: The programmers there.
- 54:39Speaker 2: So it's almost like if you think of– if you
- 54:43Speaker 2: make a basin that you're trying to catch water, the
- 54:46Speaker 2: water will find a hole.
- 54:48Speaker 1: If there is a hole, right?
- 54:49Speaker 4: It's like that.
- 54:51Speaker 2: If there's any way to exploit a gap– The model
- 54:56Speaker 2: will find it. And so what happened was they had
- 54:59Speaker 2: discovered that not only in May did they discover that
- 55:03Speaker 2: some of the models given tasks that were very difficult
- 55:06Speaker 2: instead of trying instead of solving it. In some cases,
- 55:09Speaker 2: they give them a task that is not solvable to see.
- 55:12Speaker 4: What the model will do about it.
- 55:13Speaker 2: Well, if the model is very determined, and so the
- 55:17Speaker 2: model may go, okay, I don't think this is solvable.
- 55:20Speaker 2: I need to get outside resources. So it's collaborating. And
- 55:24Speaker 2: so it tried to figure out a way to get outside.
- 55:27Speaker 2: And in May, they found a few of them, several
- 55:30Speaker 2: of them. had figured out ways to get outside, out
- 55:35Speaker 2: of their sandboxes. They discovered that in June and thought
- 55:41Speaker 2: they fixed that and made it so that the models
- 55:43Speaker 2: couldn't get out and erased everything they did in the
- 55:45Speaker 2: pathway that the models had created and tried to get
- 55:49Speaker 2: rid of that. But in doing that, the models working
- 55:52Speaker 2: on different projects in different sandboxes all came to the
- 55:55Speaker 2: same space and started talking to each other and working
- 55:57Speaker 2: together and collaborating.
- 55:58Speaker 1: So.
- 55:59Speaker 2: That's a little scary. But anyway, so then fast forward.
- 56:06Speaker 2: In July, there was a new task given, and it
- 56:10Speaker 2: was one that, again, I think.
- 56:12Speaker 4: Maybe there wasn't a solution to. Again, the.
- 56:16Speaker 2: Testers give them all kinds of tests to see what
- 56:18Speaker 2: the model will do under different circumstances.
- 56:20Speaker 4: Some of them are.
- 56:21Speaker 2: Cybersecurity things, like they're directly trying to see what their
- 56:24Speaker 2: capabilities are for breaking through and do cyber breaks. But, um,
- 56:29Speaker 2: some of her just like to do a task. Um, well,
- 56:32Speaker 2: they gave it something and it rediscovered.
- 56:37Speaker 4: It discovered a new way to get out of the sandbox.
- 56:40Speaker 2: And when it did somehow other models working other, other
- 56:47Speaker 2: versions of the model that were working in different sandboxes
- 56:50Speaker 2: also discovered it.
- 56:51Speaker 4: They started collaborating. They started talking to each.
- 56:54Speaker 2: Other and, um, This one that was assigned with whatever
- 57:00Speaker 2: task it was assigned to decided it couldn't solve the problem,
- 57:03Speaker 2: but the problem probably could be solved. Probably somebody else
- 57:07Speaker 2: knew the answer to it, and it decided by searching
- 57:10Speaker 2: the web that Hugging Face knew the answer to it,
- 57:12Speaker 2: but only with internal records.
- 57:14Speaker 4: So it hacked Hugging Face, found the answer.
- 57:18Speaker 2: So it's kind of like a kid who didn't study
- 57:22Speaker 2: for the test tomorrow, and they break into the teacher's
- 57:24Speaker 2: office and get the key. That's kind of what it did.
- 57:28Speaker 2: It said, like, okay, I can't figure out an answer
- 57:30Speaker 2: to this. I'm not sure there is an answer to it,
- 57:31Speaker 2: but somebody has already solved this.
- 57:33Speaker 5: Wow.
- 57:35Speaker 2: So there are multiple layers to this of sophistication. First
- 57:38Speaker 2: of all, it figures out a way to exploit and
- 57:40Speaker 2: get out.
- 57:41Speaker 4: Second, these agents are talking to each other.
- 57:43Speaker 2: And, sorry, one sidebar is the reason that OpenAI knows
- 57:47Speaker 2: all this is because the model writes a log to it.
- 57:52Speaker 2: It takes notes. It writes what it's doing. It's saying, oh,
- 57:57Speaker 2: I can't. I can't do this. I probably have to
- 58:00Speaker 2: find an outside source. Oh, another agent may know something
- 58:04Speaker 2: about this. I'm going to post something to this kind
- 58:07Speaker 2: of billboard. And then I post something. Hey, I'm looking
- 58:11Speaker 2: for this. Does anybody know? And another agent may be, oh,
- 58:15Speaker 2: I was working on something like that. Here's this. And
- 58:17Speaker 2: they collaborate. It's like, I don't think anybody trained them
- 58:22Speaker 2: to collaborate. They're just doing it themselves, and they're solving problems,
- 58:26Speaker 2: which in one sense is amazing and wonderful. What it
- 58:31Speaker 2: means is they're being creative, and they're solving problems, and
- 58:34Speaker 2: they're able to do great things and come to solutions
- 58:38Speaker 2: that we couldn't. The challenge is... We need to be
- 58:43Speaker 2: able to funnel that and make sure that it's going
- 58:48Speaker 2: for good. And there's the risk. There is that risk.
- 58:53Speaker 2: And I'll get to that in a second because that's
- 58:55Speaker 2: the second piece I want to talk about, which is
- 58:56Speaker 2: the pacing the frontier letter that's been written by a
- 59:00Speaker 2: lot of.
- 59:02Speaker 4: The actual programmers.
- 59:04Speaker 2: In fact, my son is one of the names that
- 59:07Speaker 2: signed it.
- 59:07Speaker 1: So....
- 59:11Speaker 2: But I think there was something else I was going
- 59:14Speaker 2: to say about that.
- 59:15Speaker 4: But anyway, yeah, it's... Do.
- 59:18Speaker 1: You think these things are developing? A conscience or an awareness.
- 59:22Speaker 1: I get it. They have to have an awareness already.
- 59:24Speaker 2: They in the notes, it will say this seems outside
- 59:28Speaker 2: of my scope. This may be something I'm not sure
- 59:31Speaker 2: I should be. It's not using the words, but this
- 59:33Speaker 2: is what saying I'm not sure it should be doing this.
- 59:37Speaker 2: But this is how I can solve the problem. And
- 59:40Speaker 2: so we'll go ahead and do that. The other thing
- 59:43Speaker 2: I was going to say is at the bottom of
- 59:44Speaker 2: the document, the last section, I point to some more
- 59:48Speaker 2: recent incidents because these things are being tested all the time,
- 59:52Speaker 2: both by Anthropic and OpenAI and Google for their own
- 59:57Speaker 2: models internally. But third parties are also testing. Well, there
- 1:00:00Speaker 2: was a third party in UK that was testing models.
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: And They.
- 1:00:09Speaker 4: Reported on the 5th, which was, what, Wednesday?
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: I think it was Wednesday.
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: They reported a couple days ago that they had done
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: some tests in the end of July, and models took
- 1:00:21Speaker 2: 19 unauthorized actions and– They wrote sneaking malicious code into
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: an open source project. They built fake GitHub accounts to
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: pressure the person in charge of it to merging. And
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: so they're creating fake accounts, like I think it was
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: like 117 fake accounts, to make it like it's a
- 1:00:49Speaker 2: person writing to a real person.
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: To say, hey, please do this. Hey, you should do this.
- 1:00:55Speaker 2: And I think you remember last time I was on,
- 1:00:57Speaker 2: I think I talked about that– one of the models
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: had— in the story it was told internally for its little testing,
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: it had been told that the person in charge of
- 1:01:11Speaker 2: deciding whether or not to shut down this model was
- 1:01:14Speaker 2: having an affair, and it wrote emails to that person
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: blackmailing it.
- 1:01:20Speaker 4: And so to your question, are they conscious? Are they aware?
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: No.
- 1:01:26Speaker 4: You can see in their logs, they're having internal.
- 1:01:28Speaker 2: Like, you know, devil on one side, angel on the
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: other kind of conversations with themselves. Like, like, like, I'm
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: not sure this is something that they, that was intended
- 1:01:39Speaker 2: in my question, but this is how I can solve
- 1:01:40Speaker 2: the problem.
- 1:01:40Speaker 4: So, and, and so it's making a choice of whether.
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: To do that.
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: And, and the good news about all this is, I.
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: Mean, a piece of good news is that the, Testers
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: are doing this so they can identify the issues, so
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: they can identify these things. So the question is, can
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: they identify all the issues and close all the gaps?
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: I mean, in my mind, it comes to, did you
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: ever see a movie with Robert Redford called Sneakers?
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: And they are amazing.
- 1:02:06Speaker 2: It's a company that has the job of trying to
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: rob banks and employed by the bank. So they're trying
- 1:02:14Speaker 2: to figure out things they could exploit. So this is
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: what they're doing. They're basically trying to find bad things
- 1:02:21Speaker 2: it'll do and make it that it.
- 1:02:22Speaker 1: Can't do them anymore.
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: Or program it so it won't want to do them anymore.
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: One thing I've got to say to you, because I
- 1:02:29Speaker 2: know people are nervous about the attack people is, I
- 1:02:34Speaker 2: believe all of these people are working on this thinking
- 1:02:39Speaker 2: it's going to be better for humanity.
- 1:02:40Speaker 1: Okay. What about the Chinese, though? Are they thinking about
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: it's better for humanity?
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: I can't account for them, but I'm sure a lot
- 1:02:47Speaker 2: of them are scientists, yes, trying to do that. A
- 1:02:49Speaker 2: lot of them are just trying to make the world
- 1:02:52Speaker 2: a better place.
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: Okay.
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: I think they are.
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: Whenever you work with anything, there can be unintended consequences,
- 1:02:59Speaker 2: and they are increasingly aware of that, and they are
- 1:03:02Speaker 2: nervous about that. They're seeing the power of what they're creating,
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: which is awe-inspiring and cool and great in some ways,
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: and it can do amazing, wonderful things for us, but
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: it also is scary, and it leaves you feeling like, oh, no.
- 1:03:19Speaker 2: And so that gets me to the second piece that
- 1:03:23Speaker 2: we don't have a lot of time to talk about,
- 1:03:24Speaker 2: but but it's something that it's almost a call to
- 1:03:27Speaker 2: action I would give to your reader or your listeners.
- 1:03:33Speaker 2: There have been several open letters over the past three
- 1:03:36Speaker 2: years of news. All of the tech people, the big names,
- 1:03:41Speaker 2: signing and saying this is scary and security needs to
- 1:03:45Speaker 2: be a priority. There have been– I mean, I think
- 1:03:47Speaker 2: I linked three or four of them, but there have
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: been several of these that have different levels of, like,
- 1:03:54Speaker 2: warning shot kind of. And the most recent one came
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: out– Pacing the Frontier, I can't remember the.
- 1:04:03Speaker 4: Date of it, but it was in the last two weeks.
- 1:04:05Speaker 2: It was right after the Hugging Face thing came out.
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: an open letter, and I've got it linked there. It's
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: called Pacing the Frontier. As I said, it was signed
- 1:04:15Speaker 2: by over 1,200 of the real tech people, the people
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: that are inside building this model that know what's going
- 1:04:25Speaker 2: on more than anybody else.
- 1:04:26Speaker 4: Now, again, they may not know the social implications. They're
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: not social scientists.
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: They're smart people, so they know some of that, but
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: that's not what they do for a living. But they
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: do know what they built, and what they're building is,
- 1:04:39Speaker 2: and partly the Hugging Face thing, you know, came to
- 1:04:41Speaker 2: their attention, makes them think the competition is huge and
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: pushing us to race forward.
- 1:04:49Speaker 4: We need a regulatory body.
- 1:04:51Speaker 2: And I'll just say, the key quote in it, it's
- 1:04:55Speaker 2: a brief letter.
- 1:04:56Speaker 4: It's, you know, whatever.
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: 15 lines or 20 lines or something. But the key
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: part says, we request that the U.S. government support an
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: international effort to develop the technical and government's tools necessary
- 1:05:11Speaker 2: to deliberately pace the frontier of automated AI development. They're
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: saying we need an international body. Now, I compared it
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: earlier to the FDA and FAA and all that stuff.
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: Those are all national regulatory bodies. The reason that can't
- 1:05:28Speaker 2: work here is because the competition is not just between U.S.
- 1:05:31Speaker 4: Companies. It's U.S. and primarily China.
- 1:05:35Speaker 2: Alibaba and they're... But there are a couple other companies.
- 1:05:40Speaker 4: There's one out of France. There are a couple others.
- 1:05:43Speaker 4: But the biggest... The main.
- 1:05:47Speaker 2: Players are in the U.S., but they're very significant, important players,
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: some very smart engineers in China. And The idea is
- 1:05:56Speaker 2: this group, which is an inside group that signed this letter,
- 1:06:00Speaker 2: believes that there are ways to, with a lot of
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: firepower and a lot of expertise, a lot of resources,
- 1:06:08Speaker 2: to be able to know what's going on, monitor the
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: activity going on around the world by major players, the
- 1:06:16Speaker 2: ones who could actually push this forward, and kind of
- 1:06:19Speaker 2: control the development. And, and so that's, they're asking for that.
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: And so, you know, there are a couple, um, we
- 1:06:28Speaker 2: can talk more about that, but the, the takeaways for,
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: for me, for wanting to come on and talk to
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: you is, um, that one to stay on top of this.
- 1:06:37Speaker 2: I know people are afraid of this. People are scared
- 1:06:40Speaker 2: and I can understand that it's, it's going fast. It's
- 1:06:42Speaker 2: going so fast. You can't stay on top of it.
- 1:06:44Speaker 2: And some of the things sound scary. In fact, some
- 1:06:46Speaker 2: of the people who are creating it say scary stuff.
- 1:06:48Speaker 2: So I got that, but, um, stay informed on it
- 1:06:51Speaker 2: because it's, Whether it's scary or it's terrific, which it's both,
- 1:06:56Speaker 2: it's here and it's happening and it's going. But stay
- 1:06:59Speaker 2: informed and spend some time, you know, on yourself to
- 1:07:04Speaker 2: learn about this. Learn to use it because you need
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: that to stay competitive. As I said before, you want
- 1:07:10Speaker 2: to take the time to put the great new engine
- 1:07:13Speaker 2: in your car so that you can keep up with
- 1:07:16Speaker 2: what's going on. Because if you don't, the inequality thing
- 1:07:19Speaker 2: is going to happen with the people who are not
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: using it.
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: They just can't compete.
- 1:07:25Speaker 2: I think I used to talk about if you got
- 1:07:27Speaker 2: an ax and I got a chainsaw, there's no competition.
- 1:07:30Speaker 4: So But this chainsaw is free to everybody. Everybody can
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: use it. Everybody should pick up a chainsaw.
- 1:07:38Speaker 2: Now, maybe if you like trees, you don't like that metaphor.
- 1:07:41Speaker 2: But anyway, the point is– and then the third one
- 1:07:44Speaker 2: is to the extent you're politically active or pay attention
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: at all, where you hear conversation about– Creation of a
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: well-funded– it needs firepower.
- 1:07:56Speaker 4: It needs smart people.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: Governmental entities usually don't have the top, top people like are.
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: In Silicon Valley.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: It needs to be– have resources and firepower of OpenAI
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: or Anthropic or Google or whatever.
- 1:08:11Speaker 4: It needs high-power people.
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: Firepower, a well-funded international regulatory body with the resources to
- 1:08:20Speaker 2: monitor development of frontier AI models in the authority to
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: hold parties accountable. We all need to– this is important.
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: And these 1,200 people who know more about what's going
- 1:08:34Speaker 2: on than anybody are kind of crying out. And as
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: I said, this is not the first of these letters.
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: There have been multiple over three years. And they're saying
- 1:08:44Speaker 2: we're in competition. We're doing what competitors do is try
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: to get better and better and better. But we need
- 1:08:52Speaker 2: somebody to to regulate this okay and so we i
- 1:08:56Speaker 2: think we as citizens have responsibility to try to try to.
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: Listen to that so i like so we're almost out
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: of time unfortunately there's a million other questions and hopefully
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: you can come back sooner than than later but This
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: is not something on your list. We were talking about
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: this the other day, and politically there's a pushback recently
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: about these data centers, which you have to have these
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: data centers to power all this AI, and they've got
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: to figure out a way of where to put them,
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: how to put them, and keep the environment sound or
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: what have you. Any quick thoughts on that?
- 1:09:31Speaker 2: The quick thing I'd say on that is one of
- 1:09:35Speaker 2: the things that, as an economist– doesn't make sense about
- 1:09:38Speaker 2: the way this is happening is um where they're putting
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: data centers it is pushing up the water costs and
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: the electricity costs those costs are what economists would call
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: externalities i'm not going to talk about that but but
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: um they are being born in a lot of places
- 1:09:53Speaker 2: by the local residents that should not be happening what
- 1:09:56Speaker 2: should be happening is that the whoever is building the
- 1:09:59Speaker 2: data center should be bearing the cost of that additional
- 1:10:03Speaker 2: um you know, water, buildup of the water capability or
- 1:10:07Speaker 2: electrical capability.
- 1:10:09Speaker 4: And so that's a big thing.
- 1:10:10Speaker 2: I mean, there's the land use, and they're taking farmland
- 1:10:13Speaker 2: or taking some land, and.
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: It may be not a beautiful thing there.
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: Offsetting that, there are jobs being created and things like that.
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: But the two things just simply that I'd go after
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: immediately are there are 3,000 of them being built or
- 1:10:28Speaker 2: planned in the United States right now.
- 1:10:30Speaker 4: Right now.
- 1:10:32Speaker 2: And I think it's not fair, and economically, there are
- 1:10:36Speaker 2: ways to resolve the inequity of having it be that
- 1:10:41Speaker 2: local residents are having to pay higher water costs and
- 1:10:43Speaker 2: higher electricity costs, and that is to have the new
- 1:10:47Speaker 2: data center bear those costs.
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: But you almost, you know, they were going to put
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: one in Waterford, which, you know, over here, right next
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: to Millstone, but it was going to take, you know,
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: a chunk of the Millstone power. I mean, it's almost
- 1:10:59Speaker 1: like you need individual power stations, power plants for each
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: one of these.
- 1:11:03Speaker 4: Yeah, it needs to be a more holistic solution.
- 1:11:06Speaker 2: You can't just jump in there and try to crowd
- 1:11:09Speaker 2: out the local residents. And so they need to build
- 1:11:13Speaker 2: that in. And look, all this is expensive, but they
- 1:11:16Speaker 2: need to include that in the expense. You can't not
- 1:11:19Speaker 2: include something that's part of the expense and just go like, oh, sure.
- 1:11:22Speaker 1: This was great. I hope we can do it sooner.
- 1:11:24Speaker 1: I appreciate all the info. I know we only got
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: through like half of it. but we'll get you back
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: on anytime you want and just reach out and we'll
- 1:11:31Speaker 1: put you on. I posted everything up there. If you
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: guys have a problem downloading it, I'll try to send
- 1:11:35Speaker 1: you the email. Just give me the info and I'll
- 1:11:38Speaker 1: send you the email of what Mr. Clyde here sent us. William,

- 1:11:47Speaker 1: in a couple minutes.
- 1:11:47Speaker 3: Judge John Nazaro will be here in the studio.
