Would you play Russian Roulette if the payoff was Total Wealth for you? · Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, there we go, everybody.
• 0:01
  SPEAKER_00: We are live.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_00: I'm Connor with Honor.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to talk about today's broadcast.
• 0:05
  SPEAKER_00: If I can get the mouse over to the other screen.
• 0:08
  SPEAKER_00: So looking at what's happening here, the 96th day of 2026, here we are, and we're going to cover four things.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_00: So we're going to talk about a show that I saw with Axios and Sam Altman.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: Very interesting.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_00: We're going to talk a little bit about that war in Iran as well and uh the threats of just taking it and then, of course, uh ruining their infrastructure, destroying their power plants and all that stuff.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_00: And who does that really affect?
• 0:34
  SPEAKER_00: That's something else I think is important to unpack.
• 0:37
  SPEAKER_00: Also, you know, there's so many different GLP1 drugs.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: There's these uh these things that you take.
• 0:42
  SPEAKER_00: They don't only blunt your desire to eat, but they also blunt your desire to have relationships, which is interesting as well.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_00: And of course, finally, people building this technology because they want to try to climb as as far as they can to the sky and of course become gods themselves.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: So let's get into the first thing.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_00: We'll also get into some real estate stuff in there because we're watching because of what's happening in the Middle East.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_00: You know, people aren't real trusting of the 10-year bond market, so they're off-selling those, and that is causing interest rates to increasingly climb in the real estate space.
• 1:16
  SPEAKER_00: If you haven't seen it yet, sellersonlyagent.com, that's one of the systems that I put together.
• 1:21
  SPEAKER_00: Please feel free to look at it.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: But we're watching as people are asking that age-old question, you know, maybe, maybe now's the time to jump ship and get out.
• 1:29
  SPEAKER_00: And we're watching.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_00: I do this uh real estate inventory poll every single morning.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: And here, not just Santa Clarita, but greater Los Angeles, it's very easy to see that we are in an unusual market where it's trending to become more normalized.
• 1:43
  SPEAKER_00: It's taking much longer to sell listings than we've been spoiled in seeing for the past two or three years.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: We have days on market time frames going up to 80 and 90 in a lot of cases.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: Ultimately, there is a buyer out there for the residents.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: That pricing strategy at the very beginning has to be dead on, balls accurate, as they talk about in the in the world of technology.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: You want to make sure that you're dialed in correctly.
• 2:07
  SPEAKER_00: There are buyers out there looking for almost every single house and residence out there.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: If you happen to have a house that fits a certain criteria, i.e.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: being for sale, if you're priced correctly, it's going to go.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it doesn't, it's not rocket science on that level.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: The rocket science that comes into it is pricing it correctly because you're being lied to, right?
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Right out of the gate, you're being lied to by the syndication websites out there.
• 2:29
  SPEAKER_00: They're going to be telling you your home is worth a particular value.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: So you reach out to them and then they get to refer, then they make money off that.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: And you're being lied to on some of the other syndication systems out there because maybe they say they have buyers.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you have agents ringing off your phone off folks saying, I have a buyer for your house, they want to buy it.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: I don't represent buyers.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: I haven't represented buyers in a few years now.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: I've been doing this since 1998, and I decided to go sellers-only agent, and that's what I do.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: Um, the that game that uh I have somebody to buy your house, or I have somebody who wants to buy your car, your motorcycle, or whatever it may be.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it just doesn't work.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: What we're gonna see here is we're gonna see this particular market creating another refi boom for the lenders out there, and good for them.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: So you give it a couple months.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: May the new Fed share, I guess, is gonna be sworn in.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the Fed funds rate, just so you know, it's not it's not absolutely tied to the interest rate for home loans.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's more tied to the 10-year bond.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: But, you know, they touch each other in some way, maybe at a distance, so maybe it's not as apparent.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: So the Fed funds guy goes in there and says, yeah, okay, so we have this particular rate, we're gonna slash it in half and drop it.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: That just makes the banks able to trade money back and forth a lot cheaper for them.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: So their their costs improve.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, hopefully in a perfect world, they're gonna try to translate that cost to you.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: But are they really?
• 3:52
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the other thing.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, you you watch AI technology, maybe that's a good segue into this.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: So that's that's sellersonlyagent.com.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: Check that out.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_00: As far as the AI world goes, I watched a show with Sam Altman.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: He's the head of OpenAI, and that's ChatGPT.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: He was on with a cat from Axios.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: And, you know, I appreciate him going on there.
• 4:13
  SPEAKER_00: I know Diary of a CEO.
• 4:14
  SPEAKER_00: You ever watch that cat?
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: He's tried to get Sam Altman on that show a long time, but he won't go because the diary guy, you know, he asks some pretty uh he doesn't softball all the questions.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't I guess Altman's probably not going to go.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_00: We'll have to see what happens.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it just has been one long scheduling conflict.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_00: Because, of course, I think Diary of a CEO would probably cancel everything and do the show at two o'clock in the morning if he could get Altman on there.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: But just my thoughts.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: And then when you watch this cat talk, it's like everybody in the A space, the AI space, they're nothing like any of us.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: They're not like the people I work with, and maybe I'm not like you either, but ultimately, you know, I deal with a lot in my businesses, a lot of hairdressers, a lot of plumbers, a lot of good, good, solid people, good solid folks, a lot of cops, a lot of firemen, a lot of veterans, a lot of people that are out there working for a living, contractors and and home inspectors, and these people.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_00: And it's interesting when I watch the people up at the upper end of this, the people that are uh basically on the beginning end of these organizations where they're able to raise that capital uh for these various companies that come up with these brilliant ideas, they're able to invest 20 million or 40 million.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, somebody has an idea and they, I guess, make a couple phone calls and they have one of these people like Diamandis, these other fancy folks, and they just you know hand them 20, 30 million dollars because they know if they invest this much, the cat's really bright, he's gonna blow this out of the water, and he's probably gonna make them five and ten times that.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_00: I don't understand that because you know, when you don't have health insurance, you're kind of wondering what's the next step.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: Um, watching these people operate in this space, like Sam Altman, it really, really is interesting.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_00: Whenever they talk to him, it's as if he's not absolutely answering the question.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll throw in a political spin on this.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_00: The uh last presidential uh Kamala Harris, just kind of the way she works around answering questions.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_00: He's he's not that bad, but it's very interesting to watch because the questions, he's he he feeds you this silk kind of uh uh meringue, uh uh made like lemon meringue pie, this silky smooth meringue.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: And whenever people talk to him, really they don't hold him to the fire.
• 6:31
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, he's worth billions of dollars.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: He probably has some scary security people that you don't want them beating you up after the show, whatever that may be.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: But again, he he's not walking down the path that when I'm listening to him, maybe it's the cop and me, maybe it's because I don't really trust anybody.
• 6:47
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're watching me, you probably don't either.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: He just walks down this ginger, wonderful path.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: He does plug in there that it could be bad, it could be horrible, but you know, ultimately you have this.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Well, if it could be bad, it could be horrible.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's like Russian roulette.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: And I've heard this talked about in the AI space as well.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: So you have a gun and you have a five-shot revolver.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: There are many five-shot revolvers.
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_00: The larger caliber revolvers, some of them have five shots, like a 44 Magnum.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: It makes the cylinder too big when you have six, so they put five in it.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: The super small uh 38s, we used to call it Sparky.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: There was a titanium Smith and Wesson I used to carry for a backup on the job.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_00: It had five shots as well.
• 7:30
  SPEAKER_00: So that that little revolver, that's a 20% chance if you're playing the game Russian roulette, but a horrible game.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: But you're playing it.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: So that's a 20% chance of that bullet after you spin the cylinder, if you only put in one of it landing on a live cylinder, a live chamber with an actual bullet in it.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know what the percentage is with artificial intelligence, but if it's anywhere close to 20, maybe we need to pull back.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_00: Also, the technology, they're talking about 600 billion, 500 billion.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: They're talking about Iran, Iran's threatening to blow up some of the data centers over there at Abu Dhabi.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_00: I believe we have uh one over there.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_00: If, let me look at the show.
• 8:15
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, if if Iran threatened to bomb the AI data center, Iran issued threats to target the 30 billion Stargate AI data center in Abu Dhabi.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: But AI infrastructure is now a military target.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: Data centers are the new oil fields.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_00: The machines need electricity, like we need food, and somebody just threatened to cut the power line.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: And bringing us into Iran, um, you know, you hear the commander-in-chief, president of the United States, saying, I'm just gonna take it and we're gonna destroy their infrastructure, their desalinization, which gets rid of the water, and we're also gonna pull and ruin the power grid.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if those people leading the country are actually going to be affected, but I do know that their people are going to be.
• 8:57
  SPEAKER_00: And I don't know if that's right.
• 8:59
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's my age, and maybe I'm completely wrong on this.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: No, we don't want them having a nuclear weapon, and would they use it?
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'm I mean, maybe, why not?
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: I guess I'm not sure the correct answer.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: But when they talk about it, they, being the people in charge, talk about it like it's just another day, just another walk on the planet.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: You know, it makes me think, wow, I wonder if we were to put or have superintelligence and Sam Altman, that was the whole Axios presentation.
• 9:29
  SPEAKER_00: I'll stick the link in this so you have it.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_00: But you can look it up, Axios, Sam Altman, and that's today, the 6th of April.
• 9:38
  SPEAKER_00: So when he talks about it, he talks about superintelligence.
• 9:42
  SPEAKER_00: And just to kind of give you some bearings on the way that I've wrapped my mind around this, artificial intelligence, AI, like we have it now, is a very good tool.
• 9:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's it's a non-self-aware hammer.
• 9:54
  SPEAKER_00: You can take it, you can put all the data into it, you could point it at cancer, and you can give it all the information and point it right to cancer and say, we need to solve cancer.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: And potentially it has the power to look at everything, all of the data.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_00: And the more compute, the more energy, the more power, the smarter the particular AI system, the more access it has with a few innovative changes, it'll go look at cancer and it'll come back and it'll say, okay, this is the solution.
• 10:23
  SPEAKER_00: This is how you solve it.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_00: Do the same thing with longevity.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_00: So just slowing down a little bit, if the solved to cancer was found, would it be allowed?
• 10:33
  SPEAKER_00: Would it be allowed to be released?
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_00: Because in of itself, while it's a beautiful idea, if they were to release it, what would what would that do to the economy?
• 10:44
  SPEAKER_00: When you have so many jobs, so much employment dependent on, let's just say, breast cancer, for example, a lot of people rely, unfortunately, there's been entire jobs and industries created off of people having breast cancer or any other type of cancer.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_00: What if you solve one of them?
• 11:07
  SPEAKER_00: Does that bankrupt something, as I've heard?
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_00: And will it be allowed if AI does come forward and say, we've solved longevity, now human beings are gonna be living as long as they want, for example, what does that look like?
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: Because right now we have a baby shortage, which you've probably heard about, and that's cool.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: So now we're gonna, you know, they're gonna take my my 56, 57-year-old ass, and now I'm gonna be 156, 256, 356.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if I'm already getting this kind of an attitude where, you know, I'm uh, you know, people bother me.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine three more hundred, three hundred more years?
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I'm gonna be a real prick at that time.
• 11:47
  SPEAKER_00: But anyway, watching this trap uh transfer to us, watching people talk about it, I don't know if they're prepared.
• 11:55
  SPEAKER_00: That's on that side of it.
• 11:57
  SPEAKER_00: That's kind of that Star Trek type universe.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_00: But in Star Trek, they didn't go into, at least as far as memory serves, into these multiple lifetimes.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: And I you don't see a lot of AI interaction in there besides in human beings data in the new generation, data, data.
• 12:14
  SPEAKER_00: And then Spock, of course, was the Vulcan.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: He was just a different life, a different, different alien life form, but again, you know, super smart and so on.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_00: We didn't see a lot of the um a lot of the AI in that particular world, but we have it now.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: And that general intelligence, it's a really good hammer.
• 12:32
  SPEAKER_00: It does a very good job.
• 12:33
  SPEAKER_00: It could solve all these problems.
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_00: It just doesn't seem like that's being much uh talked about.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_00: I know Alpha Fold with Google, they went through and they uh did all the protein folding.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure they're a lot further than they really are, and that's another thing that brings me back to.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Sam Altman on the show was discussing uh the different models that they have in play.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_00: You remember PlayStation?
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: You remember that there's always the rumor that they had like PlayStation 10 when they only had PlayStation 2, but they needed to monetize PlayStation 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 before they released PlayStation 10.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_00: That was the rumor, whether it's true or not.
• 13:09
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe they had a couple variations of PlayStation before they actually released them, having to get their money out of them.
• 13:15
  SPEAKER_00: But these AI companies, they have something much fancier behind closed doors.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_00: They have a much more powerful model that isn't ready for public consumption.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_00: And they're working with these things.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_00: So if the job of the AI company is to replace all human labor, let's say that's what they say they're going to do.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_00: They're not going to tell us.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_00: You know, they might hint about it when they're interviewed on Axios, but they're not going to really say it all the way out.
• 13:40
  SPEAKER_00: So let's say that's the that's the game, that's the drive.
• 13:43
  SPEAKER_00: Well, they have access to these models that aren't ready for human consumption that are maybe artificial general intelligence, it was mentioned, maybe artificial superintelligence comes just moments after AGI is discovered.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_00: And really, that's a system that starts to learn off of itself.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_00: And you hear this.
• 14:03
  SPEAKER_00: Different companies, they already have different models that are self-improving, replacing code, constantly making itself better.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's that's where we are.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_00: What do they have behind closed doors?
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: What is it that they're actually using that we're not seeing?
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_00: And who's watching?
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_00: Is there anybody paying attention that might have some power to say, yeah, this this isn't this isn't good.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: This is bad.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_00: We shouldn't do this.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_00: And this is why.
• 14:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's like the Jeff Goldblum character in Jurassic Park, that cat, you know, the chaos theorist, if you will.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he had some ideas.
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: I see some people like that talking about this is gonna be a problem, yet apparently them talking about it, like maybe me talking about it, we just don't have the authority to be up there at the top to walk into Sam's office and say, hey, listen, I was over there at RD watching what you guys are building.
• 14:53
  SPEAKER_00: I think this is bullshit.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: You need to slow this whole thing down.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: This is a lot.
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_00: And yeah, if we slow it down, China's gonna wipe us out.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_00: But but we're gonna wipe ourselves out with this.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: So we need to start, we need to have a conversation with China.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_00: What do you guys have?
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_00: And what does Russia have?
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: What are these other companies building this technology?
• 15:10
  SPEAKER_00: What's everybody have?
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: Because I mean, if we're all if we all have the capability of having nuclear weapons on a different scale, then the nuclear weapon itself doesn't become self-aware and start walking around and thinking it's gonna blow things up.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's still ups to us to do it.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_00: But if you have AI systems that are able to access the nukes and build a house and take the hammer and start whacking people on the head with it, maybe that's a conversation we need to have at these levels of governments.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: And for one government to say they're just gonna go wipe out all the power infrastructure of another government, and I understand it, but do all the people, are all the people in with their government, are those people wanting to be saved from the tyrannical government?
• 15:51
  SPEAKER_00: Are we gonna go transport those people over here to fix them so they don't have to, you know, before we shut down the power grid, that's supposedly gonna affect that government?
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_00: God, what do I sound like?
• 16:01
  SPEAKER_00: I just don't, I don't see the okay with a lot of things that are happening.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_00: For a while, sure, but now it's starting to get a little bit, it's starting to get a little bit interesting.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_00: The gas prices, yes, that's gonna go up there.
• 16:15
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna watch as things are gonna get more expensive.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_00: When you're watching news, when you're watching the television, when you're watching podcasts or whatever, you notice what you're being fed.
• 16:26
  SPEAKER_00: And if you haven't noticed, you might want to pull back and notice for just a second.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_00: When you're looking at social media, you're seeing the things that get that knee-jerk reaction from you, the things that are causing you that flight or fight kind of a situation.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: Because as we've grown on the planet as human beings, there was one time when we had to worry about walking by a bush and getting snagged by a lion or a hungry tiger at some point.
• 16:54
  SPEAKER_00: But then after that, we still haven't lost that ability.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_00: So they show us things that have that same type of reaction.
• 17:01
  SPEAKER_00: No, you're not pulling out your knife or spear or rock or whatever, try to fight for your life.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_00: But it does kind of kick off.
• 17:08
  SPEAKER_00: We vote that way, we make decisions that way, we look at the worst things that could happen.
• 17:16
  SPEAKER_00: First and foremost, what I want to know, what I what I hope is I hope this turns out to be just the most amazing thing that's ever happened.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: And they're gonna say, see, see, you all were worried about this nonsense, and not nothing happened.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_00: Now everybody has everything they want.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: You still have this desire, this thing that you want to do.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_00: So you're not stopping your life.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_00: It might not be called job because you don't have to really have a job, but you know, learning how to write in Sanskrit, or learning how to do poetry, or learning how to draw or paint, or learning how to uh uh what it paddle board, something.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_00: But maybe that's that's the game, maybe that's the goal.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: Swimming with with uh dolphins, maybe that's something, or those turtles in Hawaii, and not touching them, of course, because that's a big deal.
• 18:06
  SPEAKER_00: But you know, those types of things.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe that's where we can be as a race, maybe that's where we can be as human beings.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_00: Now, we you have AI, the superintelligence, you see all this world kind of unfolding with all the problems that these other countries seem to have.
• 18:22
  SPEAKER_00: And it's interesting to me that that doesn't seem to be going away.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_00: And it seems to be a religious cause in most of the segments, most of the sections.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_00: That's what's that's the main separator at that lower level.
• 18:35
  SPEAKER_00: Then you go higher in supposed intelligence, and of course, God is not that equation.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, God is the machine.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: That's what that development happens to be.
• 18:46
  SPEAKER_00: And it's interesting to watch this.
• 18:47
  SPEAKER_00: The way that I try to stay present and happy and always working on my happiness is just by looking at everything and thinking to myself, isn't that fascinating?
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: Isn't that fascinating that person hates me so much that they're gonna tear up my video and call me names?
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_00: Isn't that fascinating that somebody from my past is gonna come back and call me names and call me a horrible human being and tell me all these wonderful things?
• 19:11
  SPEAKER_00: Isn't it fascinating?
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: Isn't it fascinating I don't have enough to pay this bill this particular month?
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: I try to look at things from a fascinating standpoint because realistically, it it is pretty fascinating the way things are gonna happen.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: The other thing that I try to do to help me deal with all this is I am very confident that you and everybody else around me are going to do exactly what they're going to do.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_00: So it's kind of a learned helplessness thing.
• 19:41
  SPEAKER_00: I trust people are gonna do what they're gonna do.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: I trust Trump is going to do what he's going to do.
• 19:47
  SPEAKER_00: Now, whether it's right or wrong, that's not part of the thought process.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_00: Because realistically, a lot of these folks do things that might not be deemed as right and could be deemed as wrong.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: But it also depends on what side of the fence you're on.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_00: I try not to have a fence.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_00: I try to look at things as, you know, how are they gonna affect people like those people living over there that aren't gonna have power and water to drink because their government isn't going to make a deal.
• 20:12
  SPEAKER_00: And do they have to make a deal?
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_00: Well, that's what's on the table, at least at this time.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: And is that right or wrong?
• 20:18
  SPEAKER_00: Again, that's gonna be choices that we all have to come to our own terms with, and that's why the argument.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: But when you have this greater than us technology, it looks like that's probably not difficult for it to solve.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: But I throw, I will give you something to be a little cautious about.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: If we're going to ask something better than us, we're gonna ask an entity smarter than us to solve it, make sure that part of the answer is, well, let's just get rid of these human beings because they're nothing but a problem.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: We don't want that to be part of the answer.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_00: So that programming has to be built in.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so that's where we are on these fronts.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: One of the things that a lot of people are using now, they look at these different, uh, the different drugs out there that actually solve hunger.
• 21:06
  SPEAKER_00: And it's not easy being hungry, but it's interesting that I put together um something that was talking about the three types of hunger.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_00: And I just um got a copy of Jason Fung's new book, and he talks about it in three different ways.
• 21:23
  SPEAKER_00: So, what he talks about is three different types of hunger.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: And this was interesting to me.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: Homeostatic, that's that's real hunger.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: That's like a starvation type hunger.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: That's not what most of us feel.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, I'm not sure if any of us that are fat actually feel true homeostatic hunger.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: And I thought that was a that was a good connection point for me because you know, you know, I've been going through this well all my life, and I would like to finally fix it.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: The next type of hunger is hedonic hunger.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, that type of hunger is the one that I think most of us feel.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_00: We're looking for that dopamine fix, we're looking for that good.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: Feeling.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why we go out and we eat.
• 22:02
  SPEAKER_00: And we eat the crap that has been engineered to make us want to eat it.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_00: Almost addictive, if you will.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: And I would argue with a lot that a lot of the food that we do eat is incredibly addictive on purpose.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: I remember I saw a skit yesterday.
• 22:18
  SPEAKER_00: They used to have for the soldiers in World War II, they had a character that was dressed like a cigarette that would go hand out packs of cigarettes in the hospital to these soldiers.
• 22:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I know.
• 22:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's a real thing, and it was a real character.
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: And the cat, whoever wore the outfit, walked in there and basically handed out cigarettes in a hospital to soldiers.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, because smoking wasn't vilified at all.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: In fact, it was kind of good for you because it was supposed to help with stress.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: And it did a lot of other cool things that was supposed to help you.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't until they had all the lawsuits, not that long ago.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_00: It's not super ancient history, but they went after the tobacco and cigarette companies.
• 23:03
  SPEAKER_00: It's still legal, it's not illegal, but they did go after them and major lawsuits settled, and they figured out that this it wasn't just nicotine, it was nicotine plus a lot of stuff to make it much more addictive.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: So it would basically make the bottom line of these tobacco companies become stronger.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: The conspiracy theory is a lot of these tobacco companies, now after those lawsuits, they started buying into the food conglomerates to make that super palatable, very tasty food with the perfect bliss point.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: So now they have food engineered that way.
• 23:41
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're not a smoker, and I played the game for 17 years, gave it up, thank you.
• 23:46
  SPEAKER_00: But now you have to eat.
• 23:48
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to smoke.
• 23:49
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to do heroin.
• 23:51
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to do cocaine.
• 23:52
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to drink alcohol.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_00: But eat, yeah, you have to eat.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: There comes a point when when you're not eating, you're going to get the homeostatic hunger, which means you're starving.
• 24:04
  SPEAKER_00: And again, I would fight you on this.
• 24:06
  SPEAKER_00: I don't believe any of us actually that are fat are actually starving.
• 24:09
  SPEAKER_00: Then you go into that next section, the hedonic hunger.
• 24:12
  SPEAKER_00: That's where I believe most of us want to eat those 14 tacos, two large french fries, and milkshakes at the drive-thru with nobody watching, getting rid of all the evidence before you get to where your next appointment happens to be.
• 24:24
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, you have conditioned hunger, which is by roach or by habit.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_00: And I talked about this, not realizing that this is an actual thing.
• 24:32
  SPEAKER_00: The book from Jason Fung, the new one out, talks a lot about that, where you basically you're eating just by habit.
• 24:42
  SPEAKER_00: And I remember this.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I remember being ending up in a drive-thru just out, seeing the restaurant, turning in.
• 24:50
  SPEAKER_00: It was almost like autopilot.
• 24:51
  SPEAKER_00: Of course, I could control myself, but I didn't.
• 24:54
  SPEAKER_00: I chose not to.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't think about it.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_00: So all of a sudden I'm in the drive-thru, ordering the food, get through the drive-thru.
• 24:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, not even a thought, and boom, the food is getting powered down as I'm driving down the road.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_00: Then when I get done, everything's finished.
• 25:07
  SPEAKER_00: Before I get to my destination, now I have to get rid of the evidence.
• 25:12
  SPEAKER_00: So now I got to put it away.
• 25:13
  SPEAKER_00: You're you're probably facing something similar if you're fat.
• 25:16
  SPEAKER_00: It's stuff that you might have laying around the house.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're going out to eat all the time.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_00: This food is incredibly palatable and it it's very addictive in nature.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: So Fung in his new book really does outline this.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_00: It's really, really good.
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that definitely helps.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're somebody that's in that world, I definitely recommend his book.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: Also, Dr.
• 25:38
  SPEAKER_00: Jason Fung, you can also check out a whole bunch of videos online.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_00: He does a bunch.
• 25:43
  SPEAKER_00: So he gives a lot of stuff away for nothing.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: So you can check that out and see if it works for you.
• 25:49
  SPEAKER_00: But it really comes down to the caloric model that we've all been told is the best way.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: You just cut calories and then, you know, you eat less, move more, sort of thing.
• 25:59
  SPEAKER_00: And they say that works.
• 26:00
  SPEAKER_00: It actually turns out that's that's not a solution.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_00: It doesn't really work.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_00: Your body adjusts the metabolism down to where your new caloric activity happens to be or your caloric content of what you're eating.
• 26:11
  SPEAKER_00: And it's really about the food type, and it's really about accessing the stored body fat, and it's really about all the nonsense out there trying to avoid it because there is no fast way, there is no secret food, there is no secret way to do this.
• 26:25
  SPEAKER_00: And he goes into that pretty good at the beginning of the book.
• 26:27
  SPEAKER_00: So yeah, check that out.
• 26:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's a lot of fun.
• 26:29
  SPEAKER_00: That's Jason Fung.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, it's called Hunger Code.
• 26:32
  SPEAKER_00: You can look at that.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_00: And then, of course, at the very end of this thing, it seems like we have the anthropic uh source code leak.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: When I see stuff like that, when you have the entire source code for Claude Code being leaked out online, you know, I I just I think to myself, is that really possible?
• 26:51
  SPEAKER_00: Or is this some kind of an advertising play?
• 26:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they bring it out, but is that gonna cause them to go out of business?
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_00: Is that whatever happened, whether it was on purpose or by accident or constructive accident, is that actually gonna ruin them as a company?
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_00: Or does that actually make them worth more as a company?
• 27:12
  SPEAKER_00: Here's something interesting.
• 27:14
  SPEAKER_00: Let's say you have a massive, a massive company.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_00: And let's say during COVID you hired a few too many people, and let's say it's about time to script those people.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_00: There's no better time.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: I remember working the riots in the south end of Los Angeles.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_00: There was a lot of people, there was a lot of businesses that caught fire down there.
• 27:32
  SPEAKER_00: Not because the people that lived in the neighborhoods were burning them down.
• 27:35
  SPEAKER_00: These were happening because of arson, because of those actual business owners.
• 27:40
  SPEAKER_00: This was like the gray opportunity for them to cash in with the insurance and torch off these houses during the riots because they can blame those poor folks that live there.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's all their fault.
• 27:51
  SPEAKER_00: That's why they burned down my business.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a Korean.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_00: Of course they got to burn it down.
• 27:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm a white person.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know, of course they're gonna burn it down.
• 27:58
  SPEAKER_00: That same thing falls back with these businesses that are laying off tons of people.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_00: It's interesting that whenever they lay somebody off and they say that it's because they've improved their business model with the implementation of some kind of an artificial intelligence strategy, what happens to the stock?
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_00: Boom, it goes up because the shareholders are like, oh, thank God, thank God you're so smart.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_00: Thank God you're putting in AI infrastructure in your business.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_00: Now, if you're a local business like a plumber, uh a salon, your HVAC, I build this stuff on the on the front end for all of them.
• 28:34
  SPEAKER_00: So you don't have to do anything.
• 28:35
  SPEAKER_00: That's a good place for AI to be.
• 28:37
  SPEAKER_00: But this isn't AI running your business.
• 28:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is AI that's put in place that allows you to never miss a call again, never miss a Facebook DM again, and actually build your client base off of all these interactions that you're probably missing and capturing, grabbing onto these people that are reaching out to you by clever posted content, by putting things and trigger words and stuff into the different articles that you write, and then having people respond, having the AI integrated CRM grab that information and then let you know that it's been grabbed, let you know that if it's somebody you need to reach out to and connect with, then you can add them to your database.
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_00: They've always got added, of course.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_00: But then you can have that conversation with them as a human-to-human and say, listen, do you want to do this?
• 29:24
  SPEAKER_00: And AI takes them all the way to booking, if that's what you want.
• 29:28
  SPEAKER_00: So that's where it works.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_00: I don't believe we're at this point where we're replacing this is you know, for somebody, if you have a secretary, you use the secretary and then you use AI.
• 29:38
  SPEAKER_00: And then you're even doubly effective because then you have that human layer on top of what we put together with regard to AI in your business.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: So that's lovely.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_00: And if you don't have a secretary, great.
• 29:49
  SPEAKER_00: Then we build it off to the maximum, and then you can play that human role whenever it needs to happen.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_00: You need to go out to their property, you need to talk to them, whatever it is.
• 29:57
  SPEAKER_00: So that works in that realm.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_00: When you look at this from a much bigger level where these people are laying off, you know, 15,000, 20,000 employees, you know, that's that's a whole different game.
• 30:07
  SPEAKER_00: And what if they were to retain those 15 or 20,000 employees, train them on how to best use AI for that business, give them all Claude Code, give them all whatever, and then have them go to town, have them build stuff that automates those particular workflows they do, and then have them expand on that and build other things.
• 30:29
  SPEAKER_00: Oh my God, could you imagine?
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_00: That wouldn't be just a little thing.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_00: You have 15,000 people, you know, understanding how to use different coding platforms, solving their particular issue, the things that they work on every single day by rote over and over and over again.
• 30:47
  SPEAKER_00: And then it frees them up to say, okay, now I want you to use this same technology now that you've solved your problem and make your your part of the business even better.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_00: And then they would expand on that.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, that's that's infinitive, infinitive, infinite, infinite type of development and build out, still keeping the human in the loop.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_00: And then that company would become much more profitable than it ever did.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_00: But nobody's talking about that particular way.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_00: They're just busy hacking people and cutting them off.
• 31:16
  SPEAKER_00: There's probably going to become a point when there's going to be enough people that are hacked that it's going to be a problem.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_00: We just have to wait and see if these people, like the Altmans of the world, the muss of the world, are going to make decisions.
• 31:27
  SPEAKER_00: But it seems like as you watch all this stuff roll out, it seems like they're they're just wanting to find God in that machine.
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_00: And God is not the machine.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_00: God is a whole different animal.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_00: But again, people still follow up in the way that they will.
• 31:43
  SPEAKER_00: All right, that's Connor with Honor.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much for watching.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_00: You can uh, of course, connect with me on the YouTube channel and of course on the website.
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_00: If I can help you in your business or real estate or whatever it may be, I'm here.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_00: You be well and thank you for watching.
• 31:56
  SPEAKER_00: We'll see you tomorrow.
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_00: Take care.
