- 0:02Broadcasting around the world.
- 0:04This is on the record with Christian Briggs.
- 0:07Serious talk about what's happening around the world and how it affects you.
- 0:11Unfiltered truth for a world on edge.
- 0:15Follow us on X at BMC underscore H AM live in three, two, one.
- 0:24Well, welcome everybody.
- 0:25This is Christian Briggs, host of the Hard Asset Money Show.
- 0:28Today we are going to be talking about the AI revolution, artificial intelligence.
- 0:34What is going to happen when we start to go to software, robotics running the show?
- 0:43And I mean running the show, we're talking about cooking, cleaning, doctors, lawyers, accountants, airline pilots, autonomous driven cars.
- 0:53Maybe we don't even need airline pilots.
- 0:55Maybe it's all autonomous.
- 0:56Maybe everything that we're going to do now is going to be built on something that we could consider to be the new world order, the great reset.
- 1:02So today we're going to be talking about some of the things I've been able to put together that will give us some context of what's happening with all the layoffs.
- 1:10And I am telling you that in the last 48 hours, 72 hours, we have had massive layoffs announced because of two things AI and AI.
- 1:21So today we're talking about artificial intelligence.
- 1:24And what exactly is it?
- 1:25Well, I'm going to tell you what artificial intelligence is.
- 1:27I'm going to tell you exactly what the AI revolution is.
- 1:31And it is a revolution, it's a transformation, and it's not a bubble.
- 1:35I wish it was in some degree, and I'm kind of glad it's not a bubble, but it is definitely a transformation.
- 1:50You know, the key aspects of AI revolution is really the enhancement.
- 1:54It's the enhancement of efficiency, it's the enhancement of lower cost production, where it creates a more efficient environment.
- 2:02And enhanced productivity and automation, AI is really revolutionizing things because they're automating.
- 2:09So if I give you an example, we're talking about robots that can cook, can clean, mow the yard, they can iron.
- 2:16I saw a robot, again, I'm not sure where it was from.
- 2:19China, the US, could have been Europe.
- 2:22All I know for $6,000, I can replace any domestic help.
- 2:26I can replace many of the things of which I would have to do on the weekends or even during the day, and I can do it for such a price that makes it so affordable that it would basically cook and clean for 6,000.
- 2:40I don't know how much it is going to be maintaining that thing, but it can't be much.
- 2:44So let's talk about the key aspects of AI and the revolution that we're experiencing.
- 2:50The transformation, transportation, banking, social interaction, travel, all of these different things.
- 2:59Okay.
- 2:59When I say transportation, autonomous driven cars or electric vehicles, transportation is one of the key factors in a lot of the big tech companies trying to automate taxi services, or at least, you know, uh things of which that would be like the Ubers or the Lyfts, and they're going to try to do it where there's no more human beings involved.
- 3:20And they're going to be very successful at because they already are.
- 3:23But really, what I'm talking about also is enhanced productivity and automation.
- 3:29Let me read a little something here that we put together that gives at least some sense of the urgency that I'm trying to get out to people about what's happening out there.
- 3:38AI is automating tasks and providing tools that increase human productivity, such as personalized suggestions and application like Gmail Smart Composition to compose an email, the composition of which you would dictate and call into it.
- 3:56And let me tell you something.
- 3:59Improved decision making, machine learning helps AE identify complex data patterns, improving its ability to predict and inform decisions.
- 4:08Though human oversight remains crucial, because it does.
- 4:11AI is not perfect yet, but it's self-replicating in such a way at such speeds that it's going to find its way just like life does.
- 4:20It's almost like it is an existence, like it's an organism.
- 4:23It's a, it's a it's almost human-like, but the nature of which is always to improve itself in the fastest possible time that it can, and then to increase its ability to solve the most complex problems and to simplify those things within milliseconds.
- 4:42This week, while most Americans were focused on their families and their everyday lives, Amazon made an announcement that should send a chill down the spine of every working American.
- 4:52They call them frontier agents.
- 5:06At their annual conference in Las Vegas, Amazon CEO Matt Garmin declared that autonomous agents are the company's top priority, not American workers, not customer service, agents.
- 5:18Digital workers that can operate in their own words for hours or days without requiring intervention.
- 5:24These aren't your basic chatbots answering questions about where your package is.
- 5:29These are what Amazon calls a completely new class of agents.
- 5:32They've given them names, Cairo, Security Agent, DevOps agent, like their members of the team, because that's exactly what Amazon wants them to be.
- 5:42Replacements for your sons and daughters trying to break into the tech industry.
- 5:47And here's what should really keep you up at night.
- 5:50These systems maintain persistent memory.
- 5:53They learn.
- 5:54They don't forget what they've done across different sessions.
- 5:57They coordinate across dozens of systems simultaneously.
- 6:01One Amazon executive bragged that their agents can handle complex transformations spanning dozens of microservices, work that used to require entire teams of skilled American engineers.
- 6:13But wait, it gets worse.
- 6:15Amazon's own CEO, Andy Jassy has already told his employees what's coming.
- 6:20Back in June, he sent a company-wide memo stating plainly that they will need fewer people, and that AI will reduce our total corporate workforce.
- 6:29He said these agents are coming fast.
- 6:32Amazon is the second largest private employer in the United States.
- 6:351.5 million workers, and their chief executive is telling the world that the robot replacement is not a question of if.
- 8:18So it's not just the businesses that are developing new strategies to leverage AI, it's the new tools that are emerging, sometimes requiring significant investment, which is where the bubble comes from.
- 8:28Does this really have a bubble?
- 8:30And I don't think financially it's a bubble because it's going to create such high level of productivity that it's going to be utilized in every business or every household.
- 8:41And as scary as that is, and it should be scary because now the existence of what was considered to be the talent of humans, and I say humans, it's not like a demographic, it's it's it's the existence of us.
- 8:54It's an organism is now coming into question.
- 8:58So as many people are getting excited about it and working within the context of what AI is doing, whether you're creating the software, building the hardware, building the data centers, creating an environment where it can be utilized in robotics, not just software, but you're actually building things of which it will work outside the laboratory.
- 9:21You're actually maybe building your own demise.
- 9:23And that's what some people are saying.
- 9:29That's robotics, such as robotics and autonomous systems.
- 9:33And separately, as I write part of this, and I'm reading these things in my notes.
- 9:38Controversial AI is involving from basic assistance to sophisticated, persistent companions for tasks and problem solving, which means as it learns and it becomes higher level of genius and genius and genius compounded by multiple powers to the 10 to the 20 to the 30.
- 10:00As it continues to learn, it not only learns in such a way, but it adapts.
- 10:06One of the scariest things that I have been able to confirm was China using human brain cells, human organisms within the context of the memory, and then of course it creates memory that then is exponentially usable where there's there's no limits, there's no boundaries to that memory capabilities like a human brain cell, which is what they're using from fetuses, which is controversial in itself.
- 10:29But what's interesting about it is if you have brain cells, which carry the carry the human ecosystem, everything we know, everything we are, what we believe in and what we don't, it carries emotions.
- 10:42So now are we creating not just self-learning self-taught, exponentially learning platforms?
- 10:52Are we now creating something that can create emotions or has emotions to where maybe it doesn't need us anymore?
- 10:58Case in point.
- 11:08And this is where it gets kind of interesting, and this is the concern.
- 11:12Concerns exist regarding the security of AI systems and the potential for unauthorized access to sensitive data.
- 11:18Well, not necessarily does it have to be an outside nefarious bad actor that comes in to see our data or to see sensitive material that is very private.
- 11:30But what happens when the when the entity, the AI system decides it's now going to be able to use that information in such a way that could be against us.
- 11:41Where are the limits?
- 11:43Skill erosion and over reliance.
- 11:46This is a big one.
- 11:48There is a risk of overreliance on AI leading to the erosion of human fundamental skills, case in point.
- 11:54The reason why in the younger generations, the the 25, 35 year olds, even to the 40, there has been some loss of brain power.
- 12:04This is this is important.
- 12:06It's been scientifically proven to the extent we're using less brain because we use GPS.
- 12:14We don't remember where we've been or where we're going.
- 12:16We use GPS, we use it at default.
- 12:19Number two, we use back in the day we'd actually think in our head about handwriting, writing the words out, knowing the meanings.
- 12:27Now we dictate.
- 12:29We don't need the brain as much.
- 12:31And the third thing is calculator.
- 12:32Simple, simple mathematics.
- 12:34We used to write it down, we would calculate it out, or we would add it, subtract it, divide it.
- 12:39Now we use this.
- 12:41This has become the brain that we used to have that we now default to for many, many aspects.
- 12:49We text more, but we dictate it.
- 12:51We calculate more, but we calculate it on this.
- 12:55And of course, this does so much of our learning on GPS or definitions of words we used to look up.
- 13:02Now we just say it in there and it tells us what we want to know.
- 13:04Students use AI to write their papers.
- 13:07Professors use AI to grade them, and everyone pretends an education is happening.
- 13:12Welcome to the American University in 2025.
- 13:15The California State University System, the largest public university system in the country, serving nearly half a million students, just signed a 17 million dollar partnership with OpenAI.
- 13:26At the same time, they're cutting entire graduate programs, women and gender studies at San Francisco State, suspended due to lack of funding.
- 13:35Anthropology?
- 13:37Same story.
- 13:38But don't worry, every student got a free chat GPT account.
- 13:42Meanwhile, a kid named Roy Lee enrolled at Columbia University, one of the most expensive schools in America.
- 13:48By his own admission, he cheated on nearly every assignment.
- 13:52AI wrote 80% of every essay he turned in.
- 13:55When asked why he even bothered attending an Ivy League school, his answer was revealing to find a wife and a startup partner.
- 14:03That's a $60,000 a year dating service.
- 14:06Columbia eventually suspended him, not for cheating on his coursework, but for publicly advertising a tool designed to cheat job interviews.
- 14:15The irony?
- 14:16Columbia had just announced its own partnership with OpenAI, the same company powering the software Lee used to cheat his way through their courses.
- 14:24After getting suspended, Lee dropped out, moved to San Francisco, and raised $5.3 million in venture capital.
- 14:32His new company is called Cluley, its stated mission.
- 14:36We want to cheat on everything.
- 14:38The company's manifesto says it plainly.
- 14:41Why memorize facts, write code, research anything when a model can do it in seconds?
- 14:47The future won't reward effort.
- 14:49It'll reward leverage.
- 14:50So start cheating.
- 14:52Because when everyone does, no one is.
- 14:55This isn't some fringe operation.
- 14:57This is a venture-backed Silicon Valley startup founded by Ivy League dropouts, openly celebrating the death of learning as a business model.
- 15:05And universities are responding by surrendering.
- 15:09Ohio State University announced that using AI will no longer count as an academic integrity violation at all.
- 15:17One alumnus asked the obvious question why would a student pay full tuition and take on crushing student debt to potentially not even be taught by a human being?
- 15:27Here's what makes this especially insulting for working class families.
- 15:30At San Francisco State, 60% of students are first generation college attendees.
- 15:35Many work multiple jobs.
- 15:37Many come from immigrant families where a college degree represents everything.
- 15:41The families one shot at upward mobility.
- 15:44And what are they getting for their investment?
- 15:47OpenAI sent a representative to campus to train faculty on how to use chat GPT.
- 15:52This representative, a product of an $80,000 a year Yale education, stood in front of these working class students and faculty and told them to develop their own personal AI ethics.
- 16:03Let the kids figure it out, personal responsibility.
- 16:07While Silicon Valley profits from the technology designed to undermine their education, it's the same playbook big tech always uses, create the problem, then lecture everyone else about responsibility while caching the checks.
- 16:20The damage goes beyond institutions.
- 16:22It's happening inside students' brains.
- 16:24A recent MIT study found that when students use ChatGPT to write essays, their brain activity dropped 47% across regions associated with memory, language, and critical reasoning.
- 16:3683% of heavy AI users couldn't recall key points from what they had supposedly written.
- 16:42And after four months of relying on chat GPT, students wrote worse when it was removed than those who had never used it at all.
- 16:50Their brains are learning not to learn.
- 16:52Students arrive on campus fluent and prompting but unable to articulate their own ideas.
- 16:57Their essays look polished but feel empty, stitched together from synthetic syntax and borrowed thoughts.
- 17:04The language of genuine reflection, I wonder, I struggle, I see now, is disappearing.
- 17:11And who benefits from all this?
- 17:13OpenAI charges universities millions for partnerships while offering its product free to individuals.
- 17:19The California State University system, a public institution funded by taxpayers, is paying 17 million dollars to a private corporation that exploits data workers in Kenya for less than $2 an hour.
- 17:32A company that has been accused of blacklisting journalists who write critical stories, a company that reportedly pressured employees to sign lifelong non-disparagement agreements under threat of losing their equity.
- 17:44This is the company that public universities are handing the keys to.
- 17:48Faculty weren't consulted about the CSU partnership.
- 17:52They found out when it was publicly announced.
- 17:54At the same moment, budget cuts and layoffs were being imposed on their campuses.
- 17:58One professor described it as a bait and switch, positioning AI as a student success strategy while gutting the programs that actually support critical thinking.
- 18:08American families are taking on record levels of student debt for degrees that are becoming meaningless.
- 18:14Students are being trained to prompt machines rather than think for themselves.
- 18:18And the same tech oligarchs who want to control what you can say online now want to control what your children learn in college.
- 18:25The professors see what's happening.
- 18:27Many of them are now counting down to retirement, watching their life's work reduced to competing with a chat bot.
- 18:33The students who actually care, especially first generation students who understand the stakes, see through the con, as one faculty member put it.
- 18:41Why would our institution buy a license for a free cheating product?
- 18:45That's the question no administrator wants to answer.
- 18:48A college education used to mean something.
- 18:51It was a path to a better life, a place where young Americans learn to think, to question, to become citizens.
- 18:58Now it's becoming a subscription service for Silicon Valley, funded by student debt and delivered by machines.
- 19:04And the people running our universities have decided that's progress.
- 19:08Okay, so on the AI right now, here's what we're looking at.
- 19:12Is artificial intelligence already starting to become uh a way of life that we can't ever escape?
- 19:20I'll give you an example.
- 19:21Uh convenience, safety, uh efficiency.
- 19:25These are great words that are used in order to be able to get people to understand something, or at least give that give that warm and fuzzy feeling about another product or a service or something of that nature, where somebody says, hey, this is so easy, it's convenient, it's safe, it's efficient.
- 19:40Those are government words, or they could be private sector.
- 19:43It doesn't really matter, but those are words that people then will be like, well, let me check it out.
- 19:48What are you talking about?
- 19:48Let's look at this.
- 19:50And that's what's happening.
- 19:51So the people are like, oh, we're gonna create a whole new world where healthcare is gonna be efficient.
- 19:56You go to a doctor, there's no doctor, it's a monitor, and the nurse comes.
- 20:00To you and says, What's your problem?
- 20:01What is it you need today?
- 20:02Well, you go in, and the next thing you know is just do-do-do, all these different things, poking at you, but it's mechanical.
- 20:09It's a robot.
- 20:10Well, that's how you bring efficiency.
- 20:12That's how you bring consistency.
- 20:14That's how you don't have bias, like you know, the DEI and medical.
- 20:18Remember when the oath uh to become some type of a medical professional, a doctor, a nurse, a nurse practitioner, physician practitioner, what have you?
- 20:28You would take this oath, and they were changing it under Obama and then Biden administration.
- 20:34They wanted you not to uh give quality care to anybody who walked in, but you had to segregate people based on race, okay?
- 20:43Well, robots don't do that.
- 20:45They'll just figure their program to well help anybody the way it should be.
- 20:50So it sounds great.
- 20:52But is it going to replace people to the point where we don't need human beings?
- 20:55Are we going to have a depopulation?
- 20:57Well, let's break it down.
- 20:58So when you look at the world of two things, two things that are very important.
- 21:02Uh, the technology, the technical advancement within AI, artificial intelligence, synthetic intelligence, uh, and of course, robotics, which is the physical presence of next generation manufacturing, uh, child care, health care.
- 21:19What it could be a CPA, it could be a lawyer, it could be transportation.
- 21:22You don't need robotics, but you have autonomous-driven cars.
- 21:25Look at Waymo.
- 21:26Look at Uber and Lyft already making deals with Ribion and other huge.
- 21:32I mean, Tesla's getting into it.
- 21:34These companies, there's manufacturers and the software companies like Google's a software company, not so much as much search.
- 21:39Obviously, search is a part of what?
- 21:42That's the that's the utility, but the function is building software that then brings all of that into a point of where we don't need people anymore.
- 21:52It's kind of scary.
- 21:53So is it a bubble?
- 21:55Is technology overvalued?
- 21:57Is Michael Berry, who's short a billion one of Nvidia stock and Palantir stock.
- 22:03Is it a bubble?
- 22:06Is that the question you have to ask yourself?
- 22:08Is it a bubble?
- 22:10And I don't think it's a bubble because here's why.
- 22:13We're not only taking AI into every single business category, every part of a person's life, corporate, personal, government.
- 22:24You're transforming systems like digital currency.
- 22:28Let's talk about that for a second.
- 22:30When you have digital currency and you have it in such a way that is in your wallet, you know, you've got this thing.
- 22:38Oh, look at this.
- 22:39I have $10,000, but they're tokens.
- 22:42I can simply just push a button, send it, receive it.
- 22:44That's efficient.
- 22:46Is that a bubble?
- 22:48No.
- 22:49If the companies who support that next generation money and how it functions, because you're going from 5,000 years of physical to the last five years of digital.
- 23:02So that means that you're going to take what has been for 5,000 years, understood, and you're going to reposition that, transform that.
- 23:09Just think of all of those different platforms to integrate into one cohesive A to B, right?
- 23:15Peer-to-peer positioning of how you buy and sell things.
- 23:20And I mean all these things around the world.
- 23:22All these different companies, these banks, these central banks, these private banks, these commercial banks have to sit there and be on one platform.
- 23:30It's trillions of dollars to transform these, well, by some measure, archaic way of which we do business.
- 23:38So what I've been saying is the trillion spent will have hundreds of trillions of dollars in revenues because you're taking what already is existing, and you're going from let's say analog, great example, an analog system to a digital fiber system.
- 23:56And by doing that, you really are taking here and you're putting over there.
- 24:02So it's not like there's no people over here.
- 24:04You just have to you go like this.
- 24:07So whatever is being spent here, whatever monies are being generated here, top line, bottom line, it's going over here.
- 24:13So all the infrastructure they're building under here to layer on top of what is existing is just transformed from let's say antiquated, analog, old school, medieval, doesn't work for Flippo to flip over here.
- 24:27Boom.
- 24:28It's not a bubble.
- 24:30Now, are those opportunities for volatility?
- 24:33Yeah.
- 24:33Lots of volatility.
- 24:35Will people be able to make money off that?
- 24:37Well, I sure hope so.
- 24:38I mean, that's what you need.
- 24:39So when anybody asks me about the is technology overvalued, no, to the degree to the degree that we're moving from horse and buggies.
- 24:53If I was a horse and buggy business, I was in the hat business.
- 24:58I was in the outdoor outhouse business.
- 25:03If I was in the steamship business, and I saw all of these technical advances in my business category, I'd be like, oh, cars, nah, they're never gonna catch on.
- 25:14Uh big steamships from uh a paddle boat, let's say a paddle boat business, or one like let's say we have a rowing business because with the Vikings.
- 25:25Look at the evolution of how things progress progressed, the progress that has been made in recent years.
- 25:32It's not a bubble.
- 25:34Again, volatility will be the name of the game.
- 25:36That is true.
- 25:36That's gonna happen.
- 25:37But that's okay.
- 25:38If it starts at $10 and gets to $50 in three or four years, but you had to make a little bit of a oh, the ups and downs, sometimes volatile enough to make you want to get out of it.
- 25:49Stay the course.
- 25:50Some of these companies are gonna be doing quite well.
- 25:53On the record with Christian Briggs, we'll be right back after a word from our sponsor.
- 25:57Gold has more than doubled in just five years, rising from 1700 an ounce in 2020 to over 3800 an ounce by September 2025.
- 26:07That's a 124% gain, outperforming the market, and proving why gold is the ultimate long-term hedge.

- 32:02Well, did you see Google quietly updated its AI principles removing its pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance?
- 32:11A promise they agreed to in 2018.
- 32:14Well, the American people have seen Google's track record, prompting the question.
- 32:19Is Google an untrustworthy player in the AI race?
- 32:27Now is our time, my fellow Americans.
- 32:31America outmaw.
- 32:33Liberty and justice for all.
- 32:41But is it good for us to have this kind of transformation to where over a hundred million people, mark my words, write this down?
- 32:49This is a good point.
- 32:50A hundred million people or thereabouts will probably have some form of job loss.
- 32:58100, 100 five million, 120 million people, maybe.
- 33:01Artificial intelligence is coming for your job, and the people building these systems are telling us so directly.
- 33:08Elon Musk recently said AI and robots will replace all jobs.
- 33:12Working will be optional.
- 33:14Bill Gates predicted that humans won't be needed for most things.
- 33:18These are the billionaires building the machines, and they're telling you exactly what they have planned.
- 33:23A Senate report released last month laid out the numbers.
- 33:26AI, automation, and robotics could replace nearly 100 million American jobs over the next decade.
- 33:33Forty percent of registered nurses, 47% of truck drivers, 64% of accountants, 65% of teaching assistants, 89% of fast food workers, 100 million jobs, gone.
- 33:48And while American workers face this existential threat to their livelihoods, who exactly is making the decisions about how this technology gets deployed?
- 33:56A handful of the wealthiest people on earth.
- 33:59Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Peter Thiel.
- 34:05These men are investing hundreds of billions of dollars in developing and implementing AI and robotics.
- 34:10They're shaping the future of humanity without any democratic input or oversight.
- 34:15Think about that.
- 34:16The most consequential technological transformation in human history is being directed by a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires who answer to no one.
- 34:26Now, some will tell you this is just the free market at work.
- 34:29Innovation, progress, but there's something deeper happening here.
- 34:33Peter Thiel, the billionaire investor and co-founder of Palantir, the surveillance company that holds contracts with government agencies across the world, has called those who want regulations over AI legionaires of the antichrist, legionaires of the antichrist, for wanting some basic democratic oversight over technology that could eliminate a hundred million jobs.
- 34:55These tech oligarchs believe they have what amounts to a divine right to rule.
- 35:00They're building systems that will reshape every aspect of human life, our economy, our politics, our warfare, our environment, how we educate our children, how we raise our families, and they believe they should face no accountability for any of it.
- 35:14And here's where it gets even more concerning for Americans who believe in self-governance.
- 35:19The Trump administration has reportedly been pushing an executive order that would block states from regulating artificial intelligence.
- 35:26Think about what that means.
- 35:27Individual states, responding to their own citizens, their own workers, their own communities, would be prohibited from putting any guardrails on this technology.
- 35:37Why would any administration, Republican or Democrat, want to strip states of their ability to protect their own people from a technology that its own creators admit will eliminate most jobs?
- 35:48The answer is that big tech has captured both parties.
- 35:52The same Silicon Valley billionaires who censor conservative voices, who manipulate what information Americans can see, who have more power over public discourse than any government.
- 36:02These are the people writing the rules for artificial intelligence.
- 36:06And what happens when AI eliminates those hundred million jobs?
- 36:09The truck drivers in Pennsylvania, the nurses in Ohio, the accountants in Michigan, the fast food workers in Florida.
- 36:17What happens to them?
- 36:18The billionaires have an answer.
- 36:20Universal basic income, government checks, dependency.
- 36:24Musk says working will be optional, but what he really means is that working will be unavailable.
- 36:30The jobs won't exist.
- 36:31And the American worker, the backbone of this country for generations, will be reduced to waiting for a government stipend while the tech oligarchs accumulate more wealth and power than any group of humans in history.
- 36:44This is not about being against technology.
- 36:46This is about asking a fundamental question.
- 36:49Who decides?
- 36:50Who decides which jobs get eliminated?
- 36:53Who decides how the benefits of AI get distributed?
- 36:56Who decides what happens to the communities that get devastated when automation wipes out their economic base?
- 37:02Right now the answer is a handful of billionaires in Silicon Valley, not Congress, not state legislatures, not the American people, a small group of unelected, unaccountable oligarchs who openly admit they're building systems that will make human workers obsolete.
- 37:19The Senate is reportedly preparing recommendations on how to address these threats.
- 37:24But here's the question every American should be asking.
- 37:27Will Congress actually act?
- 37:29Or will the lobbying power of big tech, the campaign contributions, the influence operations, the revolving door between Silicon Valley and government ensure that nothing meaningful gets done?
- 37:40Because the clock is ticking.
- 37:42The AI systems are being deployed right now.
- 37:45The job losses are already beginning.
- 37:47And once this technology is fully integrated into our economy, there's no going back.
- 37:53The billionaires building these systems understand exactly what's coming.
- 37:57The question is whether the American people will wake up in time to have any say in their own future.
- 38:03100 million jobs.
- 38:05That's the number.
- 38:06And right now, the only people with any control over that outcome are the same tech oligarchs who've spent the last decade telling you what you can and can't say online.
- 38:15That should concern every American, regardless of party.
- 38:18And they're gonna have this job loss because why?
- 38:22Because what they represent in talent and experience is less than the value of the replacement.
- 38:31The replacement is physical robot or AI software.
- 38:35Or maybe it probably could be both.
- 38:37Some people are going to be replaced by just software and customer service, software and fast food preparation, uh, software and driving.
- 38:45You're not gonna have a robot behind the wheel, but you have software driving it.
- 38:48It may not even be a steering wheel theoretically, it could be just a mechanism in the front.
- 38:52And so they'll start to phase these cars out that have driver-enabled systems.
- 38:58It's gonna be driverless.
- 39:00So again, how do you put a price on that?
- 39:05Well, you don't, but there's gonna be one soon, and that's called universal basic income.
- 39:09But we'll get to that here in a second.
- 39:11So let's keep let's keep rocking here.
- 39:13Let's talk a little bit about who are the companies, who are who's gonna elevate this?
- 39:18Well, Amazon already has.
- 39:20My understanding is they either have, will, or intend to replace up to 750,000 employees.
- 39:27Some of these are people that are probably already existing, that they got robotics have taken their place.
- 39:31Some of them may be jobs that were have been filled five years ago, at least based on a uh a fairly conservative financial model for the next five or ten years, which Amazon's very smart people.
- 39:42A uh Jeff Bezos is a genius when you think about it.
- 39:44I mean, who else can take up a little bit of a a little 500 square foot office, sell a couple books online, and turn it into the largest online retailer?
- 39:52My hat's off to them, whether you like his politics or not.
- 39:55That guy's smart.
- 39:55Let's just come on, he's a smart guy.
- 39:57He's created millions of jobs, indirectly and directly.
- 40:00He's been great for the world's economy because he created a whole new dynamic on how to create, and for some people, it's been a lifesaver from whether they work there as an employee with stock options, salaries, or people that may have had challenges physically to go up to the stores that comes to your doorstep.
- 40:14It's a great deal.
- 40:15But let's talk about where he is now.
- 40:19Or certainly the people that are running it, because I know he was stepped on a CEO.
- 40:22He's got some pretty pretty kick-ass boats, by the way.
- 40:25So if you ever seen his yachts, I highly look those up.
- 40:28He's got good taste.
- 40:28I'll say that for sure.
- 40:30And so you look at again how Amazon has positioned themselves.
- 40:35Robots are not a robotic engineering, it's not just about replacing people.
- 40:41You don't have any HR issues.
- 40:43And don't take offense to this, but I'm going to say it anyway.
- 40:46There was a study, it was, I think it was Norway, maybe or Finland, but one of those Scandinavian countries.
- 40:53There was some complaining about gender inequality in the workplace.
- 40:57And I'm sure there's some value to that.
- 40:59I'm not an expert on it, but I'm just going to tell you what the study was in a non-biased way.
- 41:04Where about 350,000 women were complaining about not being paid or having gender inequality for their workplace and their position.
- 41:12So I guess the government had allowed them to all take a day or two off.
- 41:16And a lot of the systems that thought were going to fail did not fail.
- 41:20HR didn't have as many problems.
- 41:22And it could go both ways.
- 41:23It could be men, but it just happened to be women had the day or two off to be able to determine whether there was an issue with a gender.
- 41:31And there was some things, but what it showed was not so much whether the gender was a problem.
- 41:36It was really just about how humans can interact.
- 41:40And if you take a lot of that emotions out or biased out or mood swings or reflections of a good day, bad day, you can get a higher level of productivity.
- 41:50And men and women are both can be emotional, so I'm not saying one over the other, but I am saying this that a study shows humans are not the most efficient form of business, at least in this study.
- 42:02And number two, Amazon's already figured out that robotics can replace humans, and that is extremely efficient and lower cost.
- 42:12So as Amazon moves forward with replacing humans at a pre-existing warehouse or future warehouses of jobs that they would have otherwise hired humans, but they're not.
- 42:22What's going to benefit them is it's going to bring their costs down, their profits are going to go up, which goes back into the economy and the local, the state, the federal levels, and their shareholders are going to make a lot more money.
- 42:33So there is a balance there.
- 42:35So again, it's not a bubble.
- 42:36But Amazon's going to be one of those companies that will rise because of this transformation of a way in how and who works in the labor force.
- 42:46And then let's take, let's take some other companies.
- 42:50You've got companies like the car manufacturing business.
- 42:54Now, are they going to sell less cars because there's less drivers maybe in the future?
- 42:57No, I don't think so.
- 42:59I think driverless cars are going to be a part of the transportation business, but not ever going to allow that to overtake people's love.
- 43:08And in theory, it's a theory, of course, but I don't see how people are going to be wanting to get rid of driving a car.
- 43:14I mean, you get some of these new fancy zippy cars, you know, Ferraris or Porsches or whatever it is, and they're fabulous cars.
- 43:21Make no mistake about it.
- 43:22And they're zippy and fun and exciting to drive.
- 43:26So I don't think you're going to replace the thrill of that.
- 43:29And you're not going to replace race car drivers in cars.
- 43:31You make a more say technically advanced to win races, but it's still the driver that drives them.
- 43:37It's not like, oh, they're on rails or it's a computer.
- 43:40Computer helps the systems within the car communicate to the driver, various road conditions, or breaking conditions, or suspension situations, and then they can become alerted to that.
- 43:52But it's not going to replace a driver.
- 43:53So there are a few things that at least we can say aren't going to be replaced.
- 43:56But overall, there's a lot of people.
- 44:00I mean, there was an article a couple weeks ago I read or some Democrats and or some economists, it was something like that.
- 44:06And they were saying like up to 105 million people replaced in the next five to seven years.
- 44:11Well, I start studying it.
- 44:12I don't think they're wrong.
- 44:14It's a little scary.
- 44:14What are you going to do with them?
- 44:16Well, I guess you put them on universal basic income, or you call it grants.
- 44:21Grants were basically where you give them a certain amount of money to live on, housing vouchers, food vouchers, health care, a number of different things are just straight up cash so they can live.
- 44:32But right now, we're talking about AI that is growing in such a way and right now at such a rate that you almost have to ask yourself are the systems growing on their own as they self-taught, self-learn, self-educate, and then double that capacity and the complexity every couple weeks, every few months, because that's how it's happening to where this thing is exponentially going to happen much sooner.
- 44:59Is that the reason why we're throwing trillions of dollars in these data centers?
- 45:03These data centers are critical infrastructure.
- 45:05Without them, you cannot process any of the things I'm saying.
- 45:09You cannot do it at all.
- 45:10Because it all works on a very thin line of hardware.
- 45:17The software runs the programs that are hosted on the hardware, the hardware is hosted in these massive data centers connected at all four points of the world to systematically continue to resolve, improve, increase exponentially productivity within a said well, local, state or federal levels and around the world, and they're doing that.
- 45:42When you look at the efficiency of just the fast food or the efficiency of the robotics and how they can pick, pack, ship in an Amazon warehouse, how they can take you from A to B in an autonomous-driven car.
- 45:58There's no doubt this is exponentially like this.
- 46:02Now, is it this, this, sometimes this, sometimes this, sometimes that.
- 46:06So there are going to be some road bumps in the valuations.
- 46:09But I got to tell you, I still think that whatever is happening today in five years, in five years, there's going to be about 1.5 trillion to 2 trillion dollars in that ballpark given back to the bottom line of corporations.
- 46:31I don't care what you do.
- 46:32I don't care if it's McDonald's, I don't care if it's Boeing, I don't care if it's caterpillar, I don't care if it's a Zaxby's, I don't care if it's Chick-fil-A, it could be uh ABC housekeeping, house cleaning.
- 46:47So Michael Berry's got this 1.1 billion dollars short on Nvidia and Palantir.
- 46:53That's a lot of cash.
- 46:55So why would you short Palantir?
- 46:57The valuation.
- 46:58They don't see the value proposition of the current price.
- 47:02In other words, they think it's too expensive given the rational behavior in AI investment right now.
- 47:12And I think they're wrong.
- 47:13I think that Palantir is properly valued.
- 47:16Now, maybe it's a little head.
- 47:18Nvidia has asked for more increase in the chips from Taiwan semiconductor.
- 47:25If they're ordering more chips and ramping up the needs for more, that means they're getting orders for more.
- 47:30If they're getting orders from more, that means they're getting that people are getting orders for the servers where the chips go into.
- 47:36If the servers are getting ordered, the REITs or the companies constructing or building these data centers are getting orders and getting cash.
- 47:45Now, again, you may have some seasonal stuff, or you might actually have some things where maybe one quarter, one month, slow down until people can kind of gain their breath again.
- 47:56Like, okay, here we are.
- 47:59So again, it goes back to that same thing.
- 48:01Do you uh believe that the revolution of technology evolution is capable enough to maintain that momentum?
- 48:12There just seems to be no downside consequences when you have a company that is trying to increase shareholder value, and one of the ways of which is to maintain the same goal as when you started the business.
- 48:29Keep the overhead as low as possible, increase and maximize product development, increase and maximize consumer adoption and consumption, all within the realm of a budget.
- 48:39I mean, it's a lot.
- 48:40You've got to identify your market, your customer, identify the product within the customer in the market needs and demand and supply chains.
- 48:47It's all part of the conditioning of building a business.
- 48:50You're going to want to make sure that you can scale quickly.
- 48:53AI offers that, robotics offers that.
- 48:56Humans have to be taught, learned, trained, educated, handholding a lot of times.
- 49:02I mean, HR departments aren't going to exist.
- 49:04There's just no need for it.
- 49:06You're not going to have sexual harassment issues.
- 49:08You're not going to have, I'm sick, I need PTOs, pay time off.
- 49:13You're not going to have any of those issues.
- 49:15And at that point, at that point, you're going to determine if I take 10 employees and replace them with 10 robots.
- 49:21It could be three robots that replaces what they do, even if it's just as good, but it's systematically less expensive, you're going to do it.
- 49:31That's the role of a business owner or somebody at that C level executive level, that CEO, COO, CFO, CTO.
- 49:40They're going to say, my job is a C level person in a company organization or as a business owner, or just somebody who's a partner, it could be anybody affiliated, just they have that passion.
- 49:49We've got to maintain the lowest cost denominator to create the maximized amount of sales and the customer service that needs to still be effective in order to be able to.
- 50:00To maintain what we have and to grow what we need to.
- 50:03The United Nations just released a report with a title that should concern every American The Next Great Divergence.
- 50:10This isn't about climate change or sustainable development goals.
- 50:14This is about artificial intelligence and who gets to control it.
- 50:18The report, published this week by the UN development program, warns that AI is about to create a massive split between nations.
- 50:26The rich will get richer, the powerful will get more powerful, and entire regions of the world will be left in chaos.
- 50:33Now you might be thinking, that's their problem, not ours.
- 50:37But here's where it gets concerning for Americans.
- 50:40The UN's own chief economist, Philip Shelikins, laid out exactly what happens when this divergence takes hold.
- 50:47His words were clear.
- 51:00When AI destabilizes developing nations, eliminating jobs, concentrating wealth, creating unrest, those problems don't stay contained.
- 51:09They show up at our border.
- 51:11They show up in our cities.
- 51:13They show up in the form of security threats that American taxpayers have to address.
- 51:17The report focuses heavily on the Asia Pacific region, which now accounts for more than half of all AI users on the planet.
- 51:24And which nations are reaping the benefits of this technological revolution.
- 51:29Singapore, Japan, and China.
- 51:33That's right.
- 51:33While millions of workers in developing nations face job losses from automation, while women and young people see their employment prospects evaporating, the Chinese Communist Party is positioned as one of the primary beneficiaries of the AI boom.
- 51:48The United Nations calculates that AI could add nearly one trillion dollars in GDP to the Southeast Asian nations over the next decade.
- 51:56But those gains aren't distributed equally.
- 51:59They're flowing to nations with existing infrastructure, existing wealth, and existing power.
- 52:40They want to determine which technologies get prioritized.
- 52:43They want coordinated policies across borders.
- 52:46The report even states that it should be the world's people who choose which technologies to prioritize.
- 52:52But somehow that choice gets filtered through UN development programs and international policy frameworks rather than through sovereign nations making their own decisions.
- 53:01Meanwhile, what's happening to American workers?
- 53:04The same forces creating a great divergence between nations are operating right here at home.
- 53:10The same automation that threatens jobs in developing countries threatens jobs in Ohio, in Pennsylvania, in Michigan.
- 53:17The same concentration of AI capability in the hands of a few powerful players is happening in Silicon Valley.
- 53:24The difference is that American workers don't have the UN advocating for their interests.
- 53:29They have globalist institutions more concerned with managing international inequality than protecting the American middle class.
- 53:36And consider the security implications the UN itself admits are coming.
- 53:41When AI eliminates millions of jobs in unstable regions, when it concentrates wealth in the hands of authoritarian regimes like China, when it leaves entire populations behind with weak connectivity, unreliable power, and limited technology skills, where do those displaced populations go?
- 54:00The UN report warns of migration pressures.
- 54:03It warns of security challenges.
- 54:06It warns of consequences that will spill across borders, but it offers no real solutions for Americans who will bear the burden of that instability.
- 54:14The United Nations calls this the next Great Divergence, a reference to the industrial revolution that separated the developed world from everyone else for generations.
- 54:24But there's another way to look at it.
- 54:26This is a warning that the institutions managing the global economy are already planning for a future where AI creates winners and losers on a massive scale, and they're positioning themselves to manage that transition, with coordinated international policies, with global frameworks, with decisions made far from American voters.
- 54:46The question Americans need to ask is simple.
- 54:49In this great divergence, where do we end up?
- 54:52And who's actually looking out for us?
- 54:55Because based on this report, the United Nations has much bigger priorities than the American worker.
- 55:00The divergence isn't coming.
- 55:02It's already here.
- 55:04And the people planning for it aren't in Washington, they're in Geneva.
- 55:09So when you're looking at the AI boom, and it's a period of rapid growth and field of artificial intelligence.
- 55:15Is the current boom going on, which it really started back around 2010, 2011 and in its early stage forms.
- 55:27Some people are going to argue no.
- 55:28But in the next 36 to 48 months, I can promise you this.
- 55:32We're sure going to find out.
- 55:34And today's show was all about AI.
- 55:37And many of the things of which I talked to, we're going to put into this into this show here, and you'll be able to see it firsthand.
- 55:43And you'll be able to read it and look at it in the same context that we did.
- 55:47And we're still not sure that the jury's ever going to come back with a verdict either way for some time.
