1 00:00:21,723 --> 00:00:27,183 S1: Russia is using AI enhanced software called Meliorator to create 2 00:00:27,183 --> 00:00:33,243 S1: fake online personas for disinformation campaigns. I love this because 3 00:00:33,243 --> 00:00:35,013 S1: the better this gets, the more it's going to look 4 00:00:35,013 --> 00:00:38,073 S1: like a real human. And then if the AI starts 5 00:00:38,073 --> 00:00:41,253 S1: acting like a human with like clicking on things, uh, 6 00:00:41,253 --> 00:00:43,233 S1: being able to tell the difference is going to get 7 00:00:43,233 --> 00:00:46,113 S1: a whole lot more difficult. And this is actually one 8 00:00:46,113 --> 00:00:47,943 S1: of the things I'm most worried about from AI is 9 00:00:47,943 --> 00:00:51,483 S1: disinformation bots, not just the sheer number of them, but 10 00:00:51,503 --> 00:00:56,483 S1: also their how advanced they are, how sophisticated they are. Basically, 11 00:00:56,483 --> 00:00:59,933 S1: the better AI gets, and especially from agent frameworks, the 12 00:00:59,933 --> 00:01:05,093 S1: more it's going to be exactly the same, or almost 13 00:01:05,093 --> 00:01:10,583 S1: exactly the same, as if our enemies have millions of 14 00:01:10,583 --> 00:01:16,013 S1: employees in their intelligence agencies. Okay, let me say that again. 15 00:01:16,013 --> 00:01:19,283 S1: That was that was too convoluted. One of the things 16 00:01:19,283 --> 00:01:23,123 S1: I'm most worried about is that the better AI gets, 17 00:01:23,303 --> 00:01:31,823 S1: it'll be like our foreign intelligence agencies for our enemies. China, Russia, Iran, 18 00:01:31,823 --> 00:01:36,713 S1: North Korea. Instead of having a few hundred elite people, 19 00:01:37,613 --> 00:01:41,153 S1: they're going to have a few hundred elite people and 20 00:01:41,153 --> 00:01:46,173 S1: 40,000 right below them, elite people. And then the better 21 00:01:46,173 --> 00:01:50,133 S1: the AI gets, those move up into the elite, and 22 00:01:50,133 --> 00:01:53,643 S1: then the elite humans become augmented with that AI and 23 00:01:53,643 --> 00:01:57,213 S1: they become like super elite. And the better the AI gets, 24 00:01:57,213 --> 00:01:59,913 S1: I mean, it just keeps moving up that chain. So 25 00:01:59,913 --> 00:02:04,443 S1: if you think it's bad to have ten, 50, 100 26 00:02:04,443 --> 00:02:10,213 S1: elite people in these different countries who are both Intel 27 00:02:10,213 --> 00:02:14,593 S1: trained and manipulation trained, but they're also like super hackers 28 00:02:15,163 --> 00:02:18,913 S1: and they're good at all these different skills. But there's 29 00:02:18,913 --> 00:02:22,363 S1: I mean, there's only so many in the world. Well, 30 00:02:22,363 --> 00:02:28,303 S1: now imagine them with a thousand of them, 10,000 of them, 100,000, 31 00:02:28,303 --> 00:02:33,613 S1: 100 million. And they're working consistently with no sleep to 32 00:02:33,613 --> 00:02:38,303 S1: go after all your targets. That that's what I'm personally 33 00:02:38,303 --> 00:02:43,073 S1: worried about right now. And if they are producing content 34 00:02:43,073 --> 00:02:46,973 S1: and the content is all manipulative, the internet is going 35 00:02:46,973 --> 00:02:50,183 S1: to have to switch from blocklist to an allow list. 36 00:02:51,533 --> 00:02:55,853 S1: I mean, think about that. The internet currently is an 37 00:02:55,853 --> 00:03:02,123 S1: allow list. I'm sorry, it's a block list. Everything is available, 38 00:03:02,123 --> 00:03:04,523 S1: and you have to specifically go into a place and say, 39 00:03:04,523 --> 00:03:06,083 S1: I don't want to see this. I don't want to 40 00:03:06,083 --> 00:03:09,053 S1: see this. I don't want to see this because of 41 00:03:09,053 --> 00:03:12,203 S1: this problem right here that I'm talking about. We're going 42 00:03:12,203 --> 00:03:14,213 S1: to have to switch. We're going to have to switch 43 00:03:14,213 --> 00:03:19,673 S1: to the other method, which is to say my I, 44 00:03:19,703 --> 00:03:28,503 S1: my internet platform, my mobile OS, okay, Android, Mac macOS, iOS. 45 00:03:28,623 --> 00:03:31,443 S1: They're not going to allow anything in unless you have 46 00:03:31,443 --> 00:03:34,593 S1: the green checkmark. What is a green checkmark? Green checkmark 47 00:03:34,593 --> 00:03:38,643 S1: is an agreement between the the tech platform, the mobile platform, 48 00:03:38,643 --> 00:03:44,283 S1: the OS, and trusted providers like a YouTube, which has 49 00:03:44,283 --> 00:03:50,073 S1: approved sources from approved individuals and approved organizations. So your 50 00:03:50,073 --> 00:03:51,933 S1: news is going to have to come that way because 51 00:03:51,933 --> 00:03:53,923 S1: it's going to have to be vetted. So it gets 52 00:03:53,923 --> 00:03:57,643 S1: the green check mark. This might be something that's required. 53 00:03:57,643 --> 00:03:59,473 S1: It's going to happen anyway, but it might be something 54 00:03:59,473 --> 00:04:04,183 S1: that's required within settings and within operating systems, because it's 55 00:04:04,183 --> 00:04:06,943 S1: simply too hard to drown out everything. Because this problem 56 00:04:06,943 --> 00:04:12,913 S1: right here, the amount of disinformation bots, pretty soon it's 57 00:04:12,913 --> 00:04:17,803 S1: going to be like, whatever, 50% of all content is 58 00:04:17,803 --> 00:04:19,953 S1: going to going to be manipulation, then it's going to 59 00:04:19,953 --> 00:04:24,123 S1: be like 75%, then it's going to be 95%. So 60 00:04:24,813 --> 00:04:27,633 S1: if you are naive and you just walk onto the internet, 61 00:04:27,633 --> 00:04:30,633 S1: especially as like a regular person or like a grandma 62 00:04:30,633 --> 00:04:33,903 S1: or something, you're going to be screwed. You're going to 63 00:04:33,903 --> 00:04:36,063 S1: be just like pulled around, like all your money will 64 00:04:36,063 --> 00:04:39,213 S1: disappear because you had to save your kids from some 65 00:04:39,213 --> 00:04:41,673 S1: horrible accident. And all of a sudden there was an 66 00:04:41,673 --> 00:04:45,123 S1: asteroid that hit the thing and aliens came. And pretty 67 00:04:45,123 --> 00:04:47,253 S1: soon you're in a bunker and you have no money, 68 00:04:47,253 --> 00:04:50,763 S1: and it's like none of it was real. The amount 69 00:04:50,763 --> 00:04:55,713 S1: of and quality of manipulation. Think about that as well. 70 00:04:55,713 --> 00:04:59,703 S1: The quality of the pitches and the manipulation and the 71 00:04:59,703 --> 00:05:03,633 S1: deepfakes and the trickery is going to get so good. 72 00:05:03,633 --> 00:05:06,873 S1: It's going to trick us too. It's going to trick experts, 73 00:05:06,873 --> 00:05:09,783 S1: not just regular people.
