• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Let's Square handle the back end so you can keep
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: pushing your vision forward.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: Because when people think of AI, I think right now,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they're looking at it from how they can actually use it,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: which is beneficial, but from an opportunity stamp point right,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: And there's multiple different opportunities inside of AI. It's it's everything, right,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: So what opportunities should we be looking at inside of
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: AI as opposed to like just using it for our
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: personal or businesses.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Well, part of the reason I sent that to you
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: is because I think we need to work that out.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: I you know, you're the business guys. You know, I'm
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: just like the political guy. Who just happened to stumble
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: upon where I am a couple of years ago and said,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: holy crap, this is either going to put black people
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: at the top or at the bottom, depending on how
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: we respond. But there are different levels of it all
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: the way from uh, you know, it's probably too late
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: to do to get much of an allocation in some
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: of the bigger, the bigger models, like the open AI,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: like the big big stuff like that's almost like now
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: plumbing or infrastructure for the whole new system. But there
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: are different layers and levels on top of that. There
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: are and be opportunities for I'm not the person to
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: talk to about that, but everything I find I'm a
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: cind y'all, because you know, you're kind of the megaphone
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: to start pointing people in this direction, and really nobody knows.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: And it's a crazy thing even when I talk to
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: you know, I talked to Ashton Kutcher, and you know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: people see him as like some like white Hollywood dude,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: but he's actually been involved in text for a long time,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: and he actually cares about communities that don't have much
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: cares about black folks.
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: He grew up like a poor white.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Dude eating government cheese like not no joke, and so
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: you know he's he has a whole approach where he's
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: broken it down and he's seeing opportunities. He talks to
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Will I Am a bunch. We're gonna have to create
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: a whole culture around and a whole community around how
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: we invest in this. But you know, you guys are
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: gonna be smart about that that I am. I'm just
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: gonna give you all the information I can.
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: Find, smart man. Thank you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: So I'm interested. As you said, you ran it too,
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: Will I Am. And it was a mind blowing conversation.
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: You spoke to ask some culture. You're talking to people
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: outside the realm of politics, but inside the realm right
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: where you know.
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: You built a career. I wonder what the temperature is
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: around AI.
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Is it just from a regulation standpoint, from an informational standpoint,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: from a revolutionary standpoint? How is it being viewed in
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: the political or amongst people in DC and throughout the country.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I think they're mainly coming from a protective point of view,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: that there's a tension within the government over AI. On
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: the one hand, they want, you know, they're afraid that
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: this is going to be a frankensigin technology, it gets
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: out of hand and causes a bunch of problems. They
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: want to slow it down. At the same time, they
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: look over their shoulder at China, and China has an
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: advantage over us in that we've made these algorithms. But
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: for an AI, data is like oil, like data is
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: like gas. Data is what they need. So is like
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the Saudi Arabia of data because they have a billion
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: two people and no privacy rights, so they can their
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: ais can get faster and faster, better, better, faster, faster
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: with no barriers.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: So they're coming fast.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: That scares our government because if they win the AI war,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: where their their ais are faster and smarter than ours
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: and they can win wars against us, they can do
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: a bunch of stuff. Yeah and so yeah, So this
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: this tension between do you protect Americans from a runaway
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: technology or do you protect America from a runaway China.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: That's the tension. And so for me, that's all above
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: my pay grade. That's that's that's that's that's grown folk business.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I'm saying, regardless of what y'all do, I'm going to
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: make sure that black people are aware in form investing
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: in empowered, and so you know, I'm going to leave
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: it to some of the big These bigger forces are
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: going to battle it out. But no matter what, the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: thing you know is that capacities that you need to
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: make your business go faster, opportunities that you have to
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: make money in a neutrillion dollar economy are either here
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: or right around the corner. And they're going to be
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: people who are broke right now who are going to
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: be rich tomorrow because of AI. People who are rich
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: right now are gonna be broke tomorrow because AI and
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: our entrepreneur class. You know, I wouldn't bet against us.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't bet against us.
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: Really quick, for context, can we say that this AI
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: boom is probably going to be one hundred or two
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: hundred times bigger than a dot com boom of ninety
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: nine two thousand easily.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: Plus don't forget there are three Ais whant everybody's pay
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: attention to. But there's two other technological revolutions coming right
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: behind it, biotech and quantum computing.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Quantum it's going to be crazy. Yeah.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: So now look, you take biotech, which means, you know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: you basically can start reprogramming humans at a biological level
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: to you have vaccines for cancers. I mean, you could
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: probably start literally creating Captain America super soldiers in about
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: ten years.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: I mean that's going to be crazy.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: And then quantum computing means that almost everything you're doing
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: right now from a privacy point of view, is going
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: to be null and void, because whereas it would take
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: a normal computer make it up one hundred years to
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: break your password, quantum.
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: Computing can do it in like two minutes.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: So all security, all cybersecurity, is going to be reimagined.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: And so there's opportunity there.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: But you put the three together, AI, biotech and quantum computing,
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: you're talking about a completely different I mean, it's it's
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: almost indescribable the level of changes and the level of opportunities.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: But what's going to happen is we're going to get scared.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Oh this is going to happen bad, It's going to happen.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: It gon to discriminate against black people. You're going to
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: have racist algorithms. What's gonna happen to us? Blah blah blah.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: What's going to happen to us is what we determine
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: is going to happen to us. And for us. White
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: folks are not in charge either. Nobody is all new
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: to everybody. It's like everybody got the same Christmas package
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: and opened it up the same day.
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Back we have video games, everybody get the same video game,
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: and it's whoever is like playing the hardest over the
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: weekend is good. When the video game first arrives, nobody's
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: any good. This stuff is just arriving. Nobody's any good.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: You have a you have a few people right now
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: who are ahead of us, not that many, and so,
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: but I just want I mean, the reason I'm so
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: excited about invest Fest is until invest Fest, there was
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: never a place of enough of us large enough to
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: even make this conversation relevant. I mean, That's why where
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I am is going. That's why I'm going, because you know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: there's an opportunity if we all, if whatever twenty thousand
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: and thirty thousand, I meny thousand people come to invest Fest,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: If everybody leaves with that same mission that this is
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: what we're gonna at least be focused on, we will
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: leave for If you if you're not first of all,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: if you don't come to invest vest, I'm wrong with you.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: You're not serious. Something wrong with you, and that's it's serious.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're not You're not serious whatever whatever you said.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: You Oh, I have all these dreams, vision board. Take
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: the vision board down.
• 9:05
  Speaker 6: People change in the world.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, context, can we be honest?
• 9:10
  Speaker 6: Sam Altman had why Combinator, which was like a best
• 9:14
  Speaker 6: festal startups, Thank you, took all of the best ideas
• 9:18
  Speaker 6: and now probably has the most important startup in human history.
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I mean not probably definitely has it.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: And you know, and it has a whole network of people,
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, and it all comes down to individual people.
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: In fact, we have somebody on our team who used
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: to work with Sam Altman, a sister, uh you know Dom.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: She's like, what are y'all doing?
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: What are y'all doing?
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: Like this is not going to work at all, And
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: we're like, look, we're doing the best we can. I'm
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: on TV and stuff. I still come out the grassroots
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: and so a lot of stuff. I'm still learning about it.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: She's just like, I'm glad left, like, you know, Sam's
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: team to come and help our team. But it's it is,
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: it's just going to be if you like, but I'm
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: going to tell you this, if you're serious about changing
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: your life. If you're serious about changing your company, if
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: it's serous about changing your community, your family, and you're
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: not an investmentest, don't call me to shut up, because
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: there's no other place you're going to find the people
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: can help you do it. The conversation is going to
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: help you do it. The access and stuff that we're
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: talking about, it's just that it doesn't exist. And so
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: that's why that's why we're so excited about being a
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: part of it, because otherwise we're at a call to
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: sac you know, it's just us and our little three
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: or four hundred people. Then we can come and be
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: a part of thousands, thousands of people. I mean this,
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: Do not feel discouraged about the political situation or anything else.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: Go where the hope is This, This revolution Ai, that's
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: where the hope is there.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: You have it, man.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I appreciate your time, appreciate your brother, Thank you so much.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: That's fast and not only coming, but like I said,
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: bringing your whole you know, curriculum and doing.
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: Crew everybody's gone.
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: That's what I want people to fully understand too. It's
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: not just like will I Am literally is coming from Europe.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: He's on tour with Black Eyed Peas, He's changed his
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: whole tour schedule, can come from Europe to go to Atlanta,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: to go back to Europe. Like these are people that
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: don't have to speak. Will i Am doesn't have to.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: Ninety percent of people don't even know that Will i
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Am is even in technology. They just think that the
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Black Eyed Peas and he's a producer. If I told
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: you some of the stuff that Will i Am is
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: like some Mercedes and he could literally never have to
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: speak about anything for the rest of his life and
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: he'll be good. So it's like this shows you they're
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: actually trying to help, right, They're trying to help, rearranging
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: their schedule, bringing the team, having programming. It's bigger than
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: just celebrities that's coming. This is actually very important information.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: So A, you should go, but B if you do go,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: you should go to every panel. You have options, but
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: the artificial one, the artificial teles mandatory those I would
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: definitely not miss any of those panels from the Friday
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: all the way to Sunday. Make sure you're there, whether
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: it's vind the marketplace, stage, a stage, whatever it is.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: If you're serious about taking your life to the next level,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: not just your career, your life because artificial intelligence stuff
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: is going to change life.

  Speaker 7: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador
• 12:31
  Speaker 7: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with
• 12:36
  Speaker 7: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christine Noman, the United States
• 12:47
  Speaker 7: Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: were here legally, your next you will be fine nearly
• 13:03
  Speaker 7: one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: never return. But if you register using our CBP home
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally.
• 13:14
  Speaker 7: Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws,
• 13:19
  Speaker 7: border and families will be protected.
