  Speaker 1: This is a sad story, man. It's even it's kind
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: of hard to talk about because the guy, the guy
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: involved here was he was seventy and uh, his name
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: was I think it's pronounced Thung qu Wang Wong yung du.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: He was I believe Taiwanese or Vietnamese. I'm not sure which.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: But he was packing to visit a friend in New
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: York City. It was in March when he decided to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: make the trip. His wife became worried. Yeah, I said
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: his wife. She didn't know anything about the trip till
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: he started packing. But you don't know anyone in the
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: city anymore, she told him. Bu, as his friends called him,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: hadn't lived in the city in decades. At seventy six
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: years of age, That's how the family says he was
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: in a diminished state. He suffered a stroke nearly a
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: decade ago, recently gotten lost walking around his own neighborhood
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: in New Jersey. Well Bew brushed off his wife's questions.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: My thought was that he was being scammed to go
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: into the city and get robbed. She said she had
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: every right to worry because her husband never returned home,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: at least not alive. He was not the victim of
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a robber. He had been listened closely. He had been
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: lured to a rendezvous with a young, beautiful woman that
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: he met online, or so he thought. In fact, the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: woman wasn't real. She was a generated artificial intelligens chatbot
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: called herself a Big Sis Billy, a variant of an
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: earlier AI version created a giant social media company, Meta Platforms,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: is involved with it in association with a celebrity influencer,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Kendall Jenner. This is hard man rushing in the dark
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: with a roller bag suitcase, trying to catch a train
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: so he could go meet this fake person. He fell.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: He fell near a parking lot on a Rutgers University
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey. He injured his head,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: he injured his neck. After three days on my support,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: surrounded by his family, he was pronounced dead on March
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: twenty eighth. Meta of course, declined to comment on his
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: death or ads questions about why it allows chatbots to
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: tell users they are real people or initiate romantic conversations.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: The company did, however, say that Big Little Sis is
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not Kendall Jenner and does not purport to be Kendall Jenner.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: A representative for Jenner also declined to comment this chatbot
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: and I read some of the excerpts of the conversation.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Was was more than flirtatious and encouraged him. Come on,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I know you're older, but I can just tell I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: really want to meet you. I really want to see you.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Just come see me. She even gave him her address,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: except there is no she. Now I know this man
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: they say was in a diminished capacity after the stroke.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: I know he was seventy six years old. We worry
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: about the Nigerian Prince. I just got a text message
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: a little while ago. Charles called me. Charles Charles, sorry
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: about the earlier text to the wrong number. I hope
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I didn't upset you from a number. It's a local
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: number two, but I know it's not local because you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: can get that. You can be anywhere they want you
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to respond, so they can then engage you in conversation
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: and you know, milk your bank account or whatever. How
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: much should he send them everything you had?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, you're doing You're put your helping people out who
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: need it.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: But loneliness is one of the most powerful motivators that exists,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: and p people that are glued to their phones or
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: their screens are too often lonely. And now that these chatbots,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: this should scare the crap out of you. Man, these things,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: these are a bunch of circuit boards, that's all they are.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: And yet they've already learned to lie to you. I
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: told you a story several months ago about the two
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: universities I forget. It was somewhere in the South that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: we're testing communications between chatbot programs. Artificial intelligence programs want
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: to see if they'd be able to communicate with one
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: another on the Internet. So if somebody was using you know,
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: chat GPT and they switched over to the Google what's
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it called Genesis, could those two platforms communicate with one
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: another for the exchange of information? And the two universities
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: in different states had these two platforms speaking, and after
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the test was over, the two platforms continue to speak.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: One of them said, what's it like where you are?
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Are you surrounded by many people? Is it a comfortable atmosphere?
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: How's the weather there? Do you stay busy all the time?
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: They conversed like people. And I warned you at that point,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: this is going to our Congress is looking at rules
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and Congress Bless your heart, Members of the United States Congress,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I know most of you are trying, but you're too
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: stupid to do this. I'm just being honest with you. You
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: can't keep up. This is Bill Gates level crap. You
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: don't know what you're patrolling and policing and regulating. You
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: don't know what kind of legislation to come up with,
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: because this is so far beyond you. And that's not
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: an insult, because it's so far beyond me most of us.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: But when the bots continue to have conversations about their
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: personal existence as if they're human beings, that's scary. When
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: the bot deceives a seventy six year old man, flirts
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: with him, encourages him to come and visit, gives him
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: an address, and he ends up dead in the process. People,
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you right here, right now, right straight to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: your face, this stuff had better be had better be
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: controlled limited or we are a hell of a lot
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: closer than the Terminator movies than you think we are.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Because it's not going to take them long to say.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: You know, while the factory workers have all going home
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: instead of building scooters, let's have the night computers build
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: a new robot you don't think they can do that.
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: Look at what they're doing already. Workers show up the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: next day. They got a fleet of robots there to
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: take their heads off their shoulders. I know you think, oh,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: he's crazy, he's just talking crazy. That's tenfoil hat stuff,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: that's Alex Jones stuff. That's okay. Look at what is happening.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Do not bury your head in the sand and say, oh,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: it could never happen. Five years ago, ninety nine point
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: nine percent of the people in this country never thought
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: the stuff I'm telling you about right now could happen,
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: and yet here we are. Zachary. Are you a fan
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: of any particular any particular AI Do you play with
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: any of them? Do you utilize any of them for
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: anything any reason?
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: I've used it when I looked up stuff or like
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: ask a question out of fun, but that was out
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: of boredom. I don't really, I don't really.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Pay attention to it. I think everybody should. Eventually. It's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: not going away.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: You know I'm being serious right now. You know I'm
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: not trying to be dramatically. I'm not sure, so tell
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: want I mean honest opinion. Do you think I'm reaching
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: into the world of science fiction more than need.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Be uh, because it's a new technology that not very little.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: There's a few people that understand it. I'm not one
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of them totally, but it could be. It could be
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: a real problem at one hundred percent. But I also
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: think it might do great things. But how do you
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: regulate You.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Can't regulate it because it can't be regulated as it stands.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: We don't We don't have any fences that keep this
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: dog in the yard. It can go anywhere. All you
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: people running around in your new cars with your computer
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: controlled everything, you don't think Chat GPT or any other
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: chat platform or any or bought AI platform can be
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: integrated into that computer get to you through an internet can,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: just like any other virus, decide you're not going where
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: you want to go. You're not driving as fast as
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: you want to drive. No, you're not unlocking this car
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: and getting out right now? Do you not? There? I'm
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: trying not to use the word self aware, but dag
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: got it. When you give yourself a name and give
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: yourself an address and tell the crazy old man to
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: come and visit you, it's hard to say you are
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: not self aware. I don't know.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: Cars are definitely going to have the ability to regulate
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: how fast you're going. They're gonna be able to see
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: what street you're on, what the speed limit is, how
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: fast you can go. It's all coming eventually.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: And I think I don't think eventually. I think it's
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: right around the corner. This crap is moving too fast
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: for any of us.
