WEBVTT - Is AI Here to Destroy Civilization? 0:00:00.280 --> 0:00:03.080 Hello, and welcome to another episode of the Markmas Show, 0:00:03.080 --> 0:00:06.640 where we talk about the decentralized revolution each and every week, 0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:08.840 talking about the way the world is changing, and of 0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:11.240 course we want to understand that, not just because it 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:13.360 brings us some peace, so we kind of understand what's 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.560 going on, but more importantly, we're trying to figure out 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:18.400 how to navigate this correctly. Where should we live, what 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.759 should we buy, how do we invest, what type of 0:00:20.800 --> 0:00:23.479 business should we run? How do I plan for my family? 0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:26.079 And all these things, and so as this world is 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.240 changing rapidly, we need to be in front of these things, 0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:33.720 and so we're talking about the decentralized revolution. The world 0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.279 changes on a pendulum about every two and fifty years 0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.600 from the centralized structure to a decentralized structure, and we 0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:44.040 look at it through the lens of politics, finance, and technology. 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:45.640 We look at through the lens of those three things, 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.560 because when you're looking at complex systems like the body, 0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:52.000 complex systems like the economy, like the markets, like the 0:00:52.040 --> 0:00:56.160 geopolitical world, you can't just look at one small piece 0:00:56.200 --> 0:00:58.960 of it. That's the problem with modern medicine, right you 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:03.760 have these special going into be a specialist in cardiac care, 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.720 for example, But all they do, they're this specialist in that, 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.280 but they haven't looked at the total body overall, and 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.319 so a lot of times they miss things because they 0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.600 don't have enough of the other information. And so the 0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:16.360 body is complex, the markets are complex, and so we 0:01:16.360 --> 0:01:19.240 look at through the lens of those three things, politics, finance, 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:23.560 and technology. Now, technology is the thing that changes the 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.280 world more than anything else. When we look back through 0:01:25.360 --> 0:01:28.080 thousands of years of history, we see it's always technology 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:32.880 that changes things. And technology changes things, it changes us, 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.480 and then we're changed because of that, and then we 0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.039 have different problems than technology comes to solve those. But 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:41.640 it also typically changes the way that we organize ourselves 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:45.000 from a decentralized world to a centralized world. And so 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.880 today I want to talk about that piece specifically, where 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.760 we're going to talk about the technology, and we normally 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:55.160 talk about the decentralized technology of bitcoin, the decentralized revolutionary technology, 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:59.000 and bitcoin is giving us this decentralization at a time 0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:02.240 as the world is trending back towards decentralization, which is 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.280 very interesting. But I want to talk about a different 0:02:05.320 --> 0:02:08.440 technology today and the different technology that I want to 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:12.960 talk about today is could potentially be the opposite, the 0:02:13.040 --> 0:02:18.000 antithesis of bitcoin, and I'm talking about AI. So while 0:02:18.200 --> 0:02:21.519 Bitcoin is a decentralized technology that will help us start 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.760 to decentralize how we store our value, how we communicate 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:28.079 our value, how we transfer value, all those things, AI 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:33.000 is almost this centralizing technology where we could all become 0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:38.280 very dependent on one or two of these big AIS, 0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:40.320 which could be a problematic. So we'll see this kind 0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:43.120 of shaping up. Now. I got a lot to cover today. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.880 I want to get to two main companies that are 0:02:47.880 --> 0:02:50.560 really pushing this AI, and one of them is a 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:54.239 very centralizing company, and one of them is a decentralized AI. 0:02:54.600 --> 0:02:56.280 So we're gonna talk about that. We'll get to that 0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:58.160 in a little bit, but I want to cover it 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:01.720 from a different angle. Now you might have heard, or 0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:03.760 you might be expecting me to start to cover like 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:06.600 what it does and how you can use it and 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.240 will it replace your job and how much money can 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:11.480 you make from it and all those things, which are 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.560 all good things, and we could discuss those. I did 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:16.880 do a video on my main YouTube channel recently and 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.000 I kind of covered a lot of those topics. So 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.640 if you go to my main YouTube challenge of search 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.960 Mark Moss, you can find that video and you'll see 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.400 kind of what it is, how we can use it, 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:29.680 what potential it has, things like that. But I want 0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:31.800 to talk about it from a different angle today, and 0:03:31.840 --> 0:03:35.880 I want to look at how it could work in 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.800 this decentralized world that we're transitioned into. As we go 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:42.600 from this unipolar world where basically the kind of have 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:46.600 this one world government right this United States homogene this 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:50.960 you know, one world currency, the dollar, so to speak. 0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.800 But now as the world's breaking apart and China's spinning 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.880 off and Russias spinning off and etc. How does it 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.880 work then as the world moves away from peace and 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:07.960 more towards decentralization, deglobalization, unipolar to a multipolar world, there's 0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:10.360 going to be the more friction. It's gonna be more battle, 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.000 more competition, which in itself is maybe a good thing 0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:16.800 the competition side, not if it leads to warfare, obviously, 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.880 But I want to talk about the potential for the 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:24.800 AI to really speed up this decentralized transition and what 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:28.560 that means. We're gonna talk about the US, China, artificial 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:32.400 intelligence arms race. We're gonna talk about potentially the problems 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:36.640 of AIS fighting AIS, talking about the potential for this 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:41.320 to really escalate into a cyber security problem, which of 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:42.920 course we hear the world that I'm going form talking 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.080 about all the time. And then we'll talk about it 0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:48.240 from an investment standpoint where some of these investments are 0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.400 who's invested into it? And then, as I said, I 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.839 want to get into kind of this open AI versus 0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.719 decentralized AI. So I got a lot to cover now. 0:04:56.760 --> 0:04:59.960 To frame this up a little bit, there's two big 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:04.560 a very broad general categories for AI. We have what 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:09.320 would be considered narrow AI and then broader general AI. 0:05:09.880 --> 0:05:13.600 And so narrow AI is artificial intelligence, so it's it's 0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.960 really machine learning where the computer, you know, the machine 0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:20.040 the software is learning how to do things. And in 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.560 this narrow AI, you can train it to do very 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.720 specific and narrow tasks. So you could teach it how 0:05:27.800 --> 0:05:31.919 to play chess, for example, right, you could give it 0:05:31.960 --> 0:05:34.480 a document and tell you to write a summary of 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.240 that document. So those are narrow tasks that I can do. 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:41.039 Then there's what would be considered broader general AI, and 0:05:41.120 --> 0:05:45.240 that is where it has to have like intelligence and 0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.479 creativity that a human could have where it could build 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:53.200 its own experiences and opinions. And as far as I know, 0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:54.839 and I've done quite a bit of research on this. 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.200 As a matter of fact, I had the pleasure the 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:00.760 opportunity to actually sit down with the vall Ramakon, who 0:06:00.839 --> 0:06:06.520 is a Silicon Valley you know, venture capital legend. Let's 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:08.279 just say that I had a chance to sit down 0:06:08.400 --> 0:06:10.240 and have this conversation with him face to face, and 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.960 according to my research, according to him, we are really 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:18.000 no closer into getting this broad general AI moving forward 0:06:18.000 --> 0:06:20.479 than we have been in the last fifty years. So 0:06:20.520 --> 0:06:24.600 we're making massive progress in this narrow AI, but not 0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:27.760 so much progress in the general AI. And the reason 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:29.440 why I just want to lay that part out is 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:31.080 because a lot of people are very scared of this 0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.680 AI where it's you know, the singularity moment where it's 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:37.720 going to become smarter than humans. We go into this 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:41.600 terminator like you know from the movie Terminator, where the 0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.560 AI gets smarter than humans and then realize that, well, 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.560 humans are the problem, and let's just kill all the humans. Right. 0:06:47.720 --> 0:06:50.080 That's kind of this narrative that's been brought out by 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:54.000 this singularity moment and by these terminator movies. I think 0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:58.719 that is overblown. It's certainly overblown for now. For now, 0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:01.280 we're certainly no closer to that becoming a reality than 0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:05.039 we ever have been. Now, some people are saying maybe 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:08.040 by twenty forty, twenty fifty, we could be making progress 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:10.040 on that. So you know, we'll check back in on 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.920 that in twenty or thirty years from now. I probably 0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:13.600 won't be here on the radio in twenty or thirty 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.480 years from now, but we'll check back in on that. 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.560 But for now, we have this narrow AI and it's 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:22.840 making massive, massive progress, and so there appears to be 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:25.600 an arms race happening right now. There's an article that 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.560 came out this week from a Harvard researcher warning that 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:33.280 the AI arms race could actually destroy civilization, which is 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:36.400 a pretty big claim. Now, it's obviously no surprise that 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:39.600 the US and China have been in a competitive war. 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:42.080 At least we'll say, I believe it's actually a financial war, 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:44.400 probably kicked off by the Trump era teriffs that we're 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.559 put into place. But there's this arms race going on now. 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:52.160 Each country is trying to spend more and more money 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:56.200 trying to get this AI going. In the year twenty 0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.640 twenty one, the US government spent ten billion on AI 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:04.560 R and D nine point three, which came from the 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:09.760 Department of Defense. It's a pretty big number. Of course, 0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:13.200 the Chinese public expenditures for AI is less transparent. They're 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:15.200 not transparent about anything, so we really don't know how 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:18.240 much money they spent. However, analysts are saying it's probably 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:20.880 about the same amount of money. So kind of racing 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:23.560 for this, it's trying to see which could go on, 0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:27.000 which one could lead lead the pace here. But this 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:30.480 AI arms race carries potentially huge risk for both countries. 0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:33.880 Of course, any arms race poses huge risk for any country. 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:37.280 The race to nuclear weapons or any weapons for that matter, 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.680 poses huge risk. But we're at this interesting point in 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:46.439 time where as we've seen arms races and warfare change, 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.199 it's become a lot more critical, a lot more dangerous 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.000 for all of humanity. So I'm gonna talk about that. 0:08:52.200 --> 0:08:56.240 We'll get into this AI versus AI and cyberspace, cyber pandemics, 0:08:56.640 --> 0:08:58.199 and some of the investment stuff. We'll come back with 0:08:58.240 --> 0:08:59.760 all that. If you're just tuning in, you're listening to 0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:03.400 the Mark Moss Show talking about the decentralized Revolution, talking 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:07.520 specifically about how this new artificial intelligence boom it's really 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:10.960 been accelerating the last about ninety days, is changing things 0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.440 on that front. So I got a lot to cover 0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:14.480 when I come back. Don't go away. I'll be right 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:18.640 back in just a minute. We're back, all right, Welcome back. 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.360 If you just tune in, you're listening to the Mark 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:23.040 Moss Show. We're talking about, of course, each and every week, 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:25.400 the decentralized revolution as we look at it through the 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.160 lens of politics, finance, and technology. Today we are diving 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.920 into the technology bucket and we're looking at how artificial 0:09:32.960 --> 0:09:36.720 intelligence is playing a very crucial role as this world 0:09:36.760 --> 0:09:41.000 continues to decentralize. Now we're talking about specifically how AI 0:09:41.080 --> 0:09:43.439 could lead to this a new form of arms race. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:46.720 It's a new weapon that could be used both both 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:52.080 defensively and offensively. Of course, we're yet to see how 0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:55.080 this could play out. But part of the reason why 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:58.000 is because humans are no good at imagine in the future. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.439 What humans do is we imagine better versions of what 0:10:01.480 --> 0:10:05.000 we have today. We have cars today, we'll have flying 0:10:05.040 --> 0:10:08.400 cars in the future. But we can't imagine or envision 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:12.240 new things because we don't have the building blocks to 0:10:12.360 --> 0:10:15.360 build those things yet today, and so we just kind 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.280 of imagine things. So when we can sit here and speculate, 0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:19.760 as I said, I was kind of reading this article 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:25.440 from this Harvard researcher talking about how it could destroy civilization. Well, 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.800 we don't really know how it could destroy civilization. He 0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.440 doesn't really point any ways in how that could do that. 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.160 We just sort of have this speculation that, well, I 0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:35.160 guess I saw the movie Terminator when I was a kid, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:37.800 and so it could just destroy civilization like that, And 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.440 maybe it could. I just don't think we're there yet, 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.000 going back to that kind of narrow versus broad AI. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:46.040 But another article that came out this week plenty of 0:10:46.040 --> 0:10:52.360 fearmongrain here it says that soon AI will battle other 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:56.760 AI in cyberspace. This is from an Israeli expert. He's 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:01.160 predicting this, saying that artificial intelligence is expected to lead 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:04.880 to a spike in cyber attacks. Now, one reason why 0:11:04.920 --> 0:11:07.960 I think this is important is because, of course, the 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.720 World Economic Forum, good old cloud schwabing buddies, they just 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.800 met in Davos a few weeks ago and the one 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:18.680 thing they kept talking about, well, climate change, misinformation, and 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:21.880 cyber attacks. That's what they keep talking about. Cyber attacks, 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:24.680 cyber attacks, cybertecks. They're coming, they're coming, they're coming, They're planning, 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.560 they're planning, they're planning, and oh now they're here. So 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:29.400 we're starting to see this really start to pick up 0:11:29.400 --> 0:11:32.440 a lot of steam. And so is it that they're 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:36.800 sort of conditioning for this to happen, so we're prepared 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.040 for it when it happens. So we're prepared to give 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:45.280 them the opportunity to save us from these cyber pandemics. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:47.680 We'll see. But basically they're saying that AI could lead 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:50.480 to an increase in that The reason why is because 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.760 AI can create an infinite amount of content in seconds. Okay, 0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.440 but experts are already warning of an AI based cyber 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:04.480 attack and they predict these experts, supposedly experts, predict that 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.360 only other AIS will be able to put a stop 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.800 to them. So again, back to the Terminator movie, the 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:12.880 only way to stop the terminator sent back in time 0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:15.560 was to send another AI terminator back in time. And 0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.199 that's kind of what they're saying here. AI could create 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.480 these cyber attacks but the only way to stop this 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.640 AI from cybertacking would be to create another AI to 0:12:24.920 --> 0:12:29.560 put a stop to them, says there's this event called 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.120 Cybertech tel Aviv in twenty twenty three. It just took place, 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:35.559 and they said, the world's top cybersecurity leaders came together 0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:40.160 to look at the problems and the solutions to combat 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:44.880 these types of threats. So some of the things, for example, 0:12:45.040 --> 0:12:48.440 is like chat GPT which we were talking about, which 0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:52.200 could basically write essays, right, It can write summaries, it 0:12:52.240 --> 0:12:55.240 can write emails, it can write all these things, and 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:58.640 they've put kind of gates or restrictions onto what chat 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.440 gbt can do. So for example, you can't ask it 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:06.160 to write hate speech, you can't ask it to write 0:13:06.160 --> 0:13:10.280 like racist things and things like that. And you also 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:14.520 can't supposedly ask it to do things like create viruses 0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:17.440 and malware and things like that. So they've put these 0:13:17.480 --> 0:13:21.480 restrictions with these gateways on it to try to prevent 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.040 it from being used for bad But what this group found, 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:28.640 cyber arc found was that with a little bit of persistence, 0:13:29.320 --> 0:13:33.840 you could get chat gbt to actually create malware, so 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.520 like viruses for computers, which of course it's not supposed 0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:39.559 to be able to do it. Says that the researchers 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:42.320 managed to get chat gbt to create malicious code, but 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.320 also they found a way to hide that malicious code 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:47.880 from your standard anti virus system in a way that 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:51.600 is quite original. So not only do they use it 0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:54.559 to create a new one, but they also used it 0:13:54.720 --> 0:13:57.240 to create a new one that could be hidden from 0:13:57.280 --> 0:14:02.040 all known malware anti virus systems today. The thing that 0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.680 you know, we have to understand is that technology is 0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.840 a tool. It's no different than a set of tools 0:14:08.840 --> 0:14:13.120 to fix a car, a pair of scissors, a fork, right, 0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.800 and that, and that screwdriver could be used for many things. 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.720 It comes down to who picks that screwdriver up and 0:14:19.760 --> 0:14:22.760 how they decide to use it. You could obviously attack 0:14:22.840 --> 0:14:24.800 somebody and cause a lot of damage and harm with 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:28.640 a screwdriver, or you could open up a bottle, or 0:14:28.680 --> 0:14:31.400 you could fix something with it. That's what really comes 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:33.600 down to it. And so when we have tools like this, 0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:36.800 the tools themselves are neutral. And this is why it 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:39.200 kind of goes to this gun debate that's been raging forever, 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:42.680 and a gun is also a tool. The proponents of 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:45.760 guns would say that it's not what's in a man's hand, 0:14:46.800 --> 0:14:50.560 it's what's in a man's heart. Right. If somebody wants 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:52.800 to kill somebody with a gun and you take away 0:14:52.800 --> 0:14:55.360 the gun, well they could find any number of ways, 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:59.080 any number of hundreds of other ways to kill somebody, right, 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:02.160 I mean this obviously there's we all drive big vehicles. 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.480 That's pretty dangerous. I mean, you can get any type 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.680 of thing from hardware stores and I'm not going to 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:09.600 list those here, but you understand that you can't really 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.200 stop someone. I mean you can do it with your 0:15:11.200 --> 0:15:13.360 bare hands. And so it really always comes back down 0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:15.680 to what's in a man's heart, not what's in a 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:18.120 man's hand. And so when we start looking at tools 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:22.320 like this, they can put all types of gateways and 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:24.520 checkpoints on there, but it also limits what we can 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:26.960 do for good as well. If you go up to 0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:28.760 the mountains at all, I like to go snowboarding. I 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.760 was just up in Vancouver snowboarding last week, and at 0:15:33.520 --> 0:15:35.160 the where the chairlifts are where you getting on and 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:37.880 off the mountain, they have tools so you can adjust 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:40.720 your bindings and things like that, right, But the screwdrivers 0:15:40.720 --> 0:15:43.880 have a chain and their chain to the bench there, 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:47.320 and so they could chain that screwdriver down so I 0:15:47.320 --> 0:15:50.760 couldn't go attack people in the line with it. But 0:15:50.800 --> 0:15:52.680 then it also limits what I'm able to do if 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.000 I needed to work on like a car, like a 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.880 SnowCat that came over a snowmobile, the chain isn't long 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.680 enough to go do that. So we can put these checks, 0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.840 these gateways in, but then it limits what we're able 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:08.520 to do in the potential chance that maybe a couple 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:11.520 of people might try to do something crazy like create 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:14.120 malicious code. Most of us would never even think about that. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.600 What they're saying is that there's even greater threats to 0:16:16.720 --> 0:16:20.360 cybersecurity because of this. Now. They said that according to 0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:23.920 the World Incomic Forum, cyber attacks already increased by almost 0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:28.800 forty percent last year. Forty percent now. Of course, right 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.840 more people are using computers, more bad actors, and we're 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:35.680 going to have more cyber attacks, I guess, But they're 0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:38.840 saying that they could rise exponentially over the coming year 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.280 because of these AI models, because the average person now 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:47.200 could write their own code and do this. And it 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.240 says that the primary challenge for cybersecurity is that the 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:54.120 attackers seem to be one step ahead. I've always wondered 0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:57.000 about this. Right, here's a quote here. AI based attacks 0:16:57.000 --> 0:16:59.080 are going to be much more pervasive, much more adaptable, 0:16:59.080 --> 0:17:00.680 and much more rapid than they were in the past, 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:05.840 and human defenders can't keep up with the pace. So 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:11.680 think about that. The anti virus, the cybersecurity experts are 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.280 trying to stay one step in front of the exploiters, 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:18.600 but they can't do that. I've always wondered, how does 0:17:18.640 --> 0:17:23.200 the anti virus software stay in business if there aren't 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:29.639 actually viruses? Could it be plausible that they could release 0:17:29.720 --> 0:17:31.720 the virus and then release the software. Of course that 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:33.439 would just be you know, I mean, that would be 0:17:33.480 --> 0:17:35.800 really really bad, apparently. Right. If you're just tune in, 0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.080 you're listening to the Markmas Show. We're talking about the 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:41.159 Decentralized Revolution, talking about how AI plays a pivol role 0:17:41.200 --> 0:17:43.480 in this. I got a lot to cover. I needed 0:17:43.480 --> 0:17:46.200 to start getting faster here, so don't miss it. I'll 0:17:46.240 --> 0:17:48.280 be right back. Don't go away, all right, welcome back. 0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:50.280 If you're just tune in, you're listening to the Markmas Show. 0:17:50.280 --> 0:17:54.920 We're talking about the Decentralized Revolution. We're talking about how AI. 0:17:55.240 --> 0:17:58.760 We always talk about the decentralized revolution as through the 0:17:58.840 --> 0:18:02.240 lens of politics, finance, and technology technologies what changes things. 0:18:02.480 --> 0:18:06.359 Typically we're talking about technology in regards to bitcoin, but 0:18:06.480 --> 0:18:11.040 we're talking about technology in regards to AI, and they're 0:18:11.080 --> 0:18:13.680 talking about how the cybersecurity experts are saying that AI 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:18.159 could make it easier and more efficient for attackers to 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.560 do these cyber type of crimes, and how hard it 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:24.960 will be for them to keep up the pace with this. Basically, 0:18:24.960 --> 0:18:28.400 what they're saying here is that a human defender won't 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.840 be able to figure out what's going on, find the 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:36.639 right countermeasures, and react fast enough because the AI attack 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.040 would have already reached this destination. So what they're saying 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:41.720 is that we're gonna have to fight fire with fire 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:45.240 and assign the defense task to an AI based system. 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.520 So we have to create machines to battle the machines, 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:53.760 is what they're saying. The problem is that when you 0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.959 start leaving all of this up to AI, is AI 0:18:57.200 --> 0:19:02.080 able to make these types of decisions? It says, here 0:19:02.080 --> 0:19:06.040 are AI knows how to autonomously classify information, saving months 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.640 and sometimes years of work for an organization, and so 0:19:10.400 --> 0:19:13.920 we should be able to classify these types of changes 0:19:13.920 --> 0:19:16.719 and know if they're malicious or not. We'll see how 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:18.960 this shapes up. But like I said, I want what 0:19:19.040 --> 0:19:21.920 I'm interested in is like we're hearing more and more 0:19:21.920 --> 0:19:26.359 and more about this cyber pandemic and is this again, 0:19:26.960 --> 0:19:30.080 is it picking up because of what the World that 0:19:30.080 --> 0:19:33.800 Eccamyforum has been talking about. We saw that just after 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:36.160 the world that Recament Forum was talking about these potential 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:39.000 cyber attacks, we started getting more of them, including we 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:42.719 saw in the United States the FAA computers were attacked 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:47.200 and shutdown cars, causing the largest blackout of flights or 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:50.280 the largest shutdown of flights I believe in US history. 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:52.600 And it didn't just happen in the US. It happened 0:19:52.640 --> 0:19:55.720 in I believe, Canada and maybe it was Australia a 0:19:55.720 --> 0:19:58.080 few other places as well. So it happened right after 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.439 of course the WEF was talking about it, and we 0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.040 also just saw that it also happened in Italy. Italy 0:20:04.080 --> 0:20:08.280 had its Internet restored after having a nationwide outage on 0:20:08.320 --> 0:20:12.239 the Internet. There's reports of a global ransomware attack that 0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:17.680 was happening. And again, is this just all coincidence or 0:20:17.720 --> 0:20:21.600 sometimes is it too coincidental. It is it. When there's smoke, 0:20:21.680 --> 0:20:24.280 there's fire, And that's sort of what we're seeing right here. 0:20:25.160 --> 0:20:29.560 We saw that this Italy's National Cybersecurity Agency warned about 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:33.960 these ransomware attacks and how they were targeting servers worldwide 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:38.439 and they're looking to exploit a software vulnerability. You know. 0:20:39.040 --> 0:20:43.920 Part of the thing with centralized software versus decentralized software 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:46.760 is I think you could with decentralized software, you can 0:20:46.760 --> 0:20:49.320 get a lot more people working on the software. Potentially, 0:20:50.440 --> 0:20:52.080 you can get a lot more eyes on it. You 0:20:52.080 --> 0:20:56.320 can find a lot more of these bugs. Maybe that's 0:20:56.320 --> 0:21:01.120 a benefit, trying to find these exploitations before they become 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:05.480 a problem. But a lot of people were talking about 0:21:05.520 --> 0:21:08.680 this over the week over on social media, talking about 0:21:09.440 --> 0:21:13.320 is this the first of like what to expect about 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:17.880 lockdowns happening on the internet? Was this a dry run? 0:21:19.040 --> 0:21:21.359 Could this have been coincident all that the WEFF was 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.040 just talking about it and then it's happening, And I 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:26.560 don't know, that's just conspiratorial talk. We don't really have 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:31.040 any evidence of that, but it is certainly again very 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:36.119 coincident all that that's happening right now now. On another side, 0:21:36.200 --> 0:21:40.440 back to kind of the economic side of things. One 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:45.800 of the kind of famous technology stockpickers Cathy Wood. She 0:21:45.920 --> 0:21:49.000 runs a firm or an ETF called ARC and it 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.440 basically has all the tech companies in this ETF, which 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:55.920 of course is famously down. She's lost so much money 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:58.119 it's a wonder that people still listen to her. But 0:21:58.200 --> 0:22:02.159 she's now talking about how hour. She's predicting that Amazon 0:22:02.520 --> 0:22:08.320 would have more robot workers than human workers by twenty thirty. 0:22:08.400 --> 0:22:12.680 And that's not surprising. It's not surprising at all. It says, 0:22:12.680 --> 0:22:14.560
