What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
sorry i had to stop everything a little bit of a coughing attack i have that about once a day but the timing was really bad so we'll see how far we can get there were some topics i just wanted to talk about so badly so um i'm not going to do the simultaneous step because i did that the one that i reported let's see how far we can get
What is the significance of AI in today's society?
So does it seem to you that AI has turned into a race between building data centers and building power plants as fast as they can versus there's probably somebody in some garage somewhere who's inventing a way to do it without all that energy? Does that not seem obviously true to you? Because when we're trying to predict What does the future look like? I cannot imagine that the AI companies are right that it will just take massive energy and more energy, and if you want to get better, you just need more energy. It seems far more likely that somebody is already inventing a way around that. So that's what I'm going to bet on.
How does Governor DeSantis view AI and its implications?
But Ron DeSantis, it turns out, is an AI skeptic. And he said some interesting things. Politico is reporting on this. So he's interested in more regulation and doesn't want AI to use up all the energy, etc. So he's a little skeptical about his value. and he put a really interesting slant on this sort of a religious slant i hadn't heard before he says we have to reject with every fiber of our being uh well he said the idea of this transhumanist strain that would be the robots in the ai that somehow this is going to supplant humans and this other stuff we have to reject that with every fiber of our being Here's the interesting part.
What are the philosophical implications of AI on free will?
He says, we as individual human beings are the ones that are endowed by God with certain unalienable rights and blah, blah, blah. They did not endow machines or computers with us. So here's my provocative question. What's going to happen to your view of free will? when robots obviously have it. So if I said to you, define free will, and I've had this conversation a million times, you'd say, well, it's the ability to make a choice. And I would say, well, AI can make a choice. So does it have free will? And then you would say, no, no. because if a computer does it, it's just programmed, and there's no choice. Only one thing could happen. But what happens when you can't figure out why the AI did what it did, which is actually the current situation?
What role does Hollywood play in shaping public perception of law enforcement?
So you won't be able to trace back any kind of cause and effect. It's going to look like the AI had choices, exactly like a human did, and it picked one. So will your belief in free will disappear? Because once a computer can do it, then I would argue AI can already do that. And if you can't predict why it would do it, that's going to look a lot like free choice. So what are you going to do then? Will you call it free will? I don't know.
How prevalent is fraud in California's community colleges?
I recommend my book, God's Debris, if you want to struggle with some of those philosophical things. The new version is called God's Debris, The Complete Works, so you can get it on Amazon. It's the only place you get it. Speaking of fraud, did you know that James Comey, once had conversations with TV director Dick Wolfe, which I always thought was a sketchy name, Dick Wolf, to put more FBI content in his shows because he was a very successful TV producer. And he did. So how many of you are aware that for decades and decades, Hollywood has been influenced by the government to say good things about the military say good things about law enforcement, say good things about the FBI. Television has always been propaganda.
Always has been. But when you hear it so plainly laid out, it might shock a few people who didn't know that was the case. And I've argued that this is probably the good kind of propaganda if they do it right. For example, if the propaganda on TV is to make people more patriotic, well, is that bad? So some of it's bad, but it might be also a cover for bad FBI behavior to make them look good when in fact they might be doing some stuff they don't like. Well, here's something Kevin Kiley in California tells us, that one-third of California community colleges, their applications for the college are fake.
