hello simone today we are going to be doing an episode that is quite different from our normal
00:00:07.260
content but we're going to be talking about a program and the moment i heard about this program
00:00:11.980
i was like i need to think about this like potentially a lot because it changes a lot i
00:00:19.300
mean what happened with drones in the ukrainian war is we learned that drones changed the face
00:00:24.620
of warfare 100 and they in a large way have made things like large tanks and stuff like that
00:00:29.980
which used to be what countries were investing in obsolete and countries specifically the united
00:00:35.880
states has started something called the replicator program and this is a program where the united
00:00:41.100
states is beginning to outfit battleships to be able to build hundreds of autonomous ai controlled
00:00:50.300
drones every day a kill drone printer a a ai is not controlled by humans either these are autonomous
00:01:03.700
you okay but the program don't worry it's not limited to the sea they've also talked about how
00:01:11.620
they want to build versions of this that can go on land and for the army and stuff like that
00:01:15.620
so we're gonna have killed drone printers everywhere it makes me think of those the the big ships in star
00:01:24.160
wars the the crappy new ones that had all the droids come off of them you know they were just oh yeah
00:01:31.920
yeah unfolded and came out i'm picturing those now hopefully they won't have really bad dialogue
00:01:39.120
at least we know our llms of our universe and roger roger roger roger oh my god they were the worst
00:01:46.560
well no jar jar binks was the worst but at least we have like this sith lord theory right there was
00:01:51.640
nothing for them they were just awful like like oh no don't even get me started let's keep going
00:01:57.020
kill drone ships tell me more no what's funny about the drones in in star wars i remember it was like
00:02:02.500
the earlier versions were better and those were like a cost-cutting measure but what's weird is
00:02:07.100
like we now know from our world and apparently it's in our same timeline because it takes place a long
00:02:12.240
time ago in a galaxy far away yeah that like those drones those those droids were dumber than like
00:02:17.640
deep seek yeah deep seek is really dumb somebody reached out to me and they were like oh well have
00:02:24.000
you changed your mind about like china's position because of deep seek and i was like deep seek is a
00:02:29.120
scam like do you guys have you used it like i feel like exclusively people who think deep seek is
00:02:35.140
impressive is is is a completely different bucket than people met one very smart and successful
00:02:40.060
person who uses deep seek is their choice yes but it's for a very very narrow task if you need an
00:02:45.060
open source you need a totally open source llm it's apparently better than llama so marginally better
00:02:53.300
but that doesn't give china any power because anyone in any country can take it and use it open source
00:03:00.600
so you get no additional marginal power by having a fully open source llm and you only need a fully
00:03:06.520
open source llm if you're doing like absolutely massive scale stuff and generally what matters
00:03:10.840
more is good llms and not open source llms yeah but if you're like how did deep seek become the number
00:03:17.140
one app in the china fact take retailers do a good video on this it appears to be mostly faked
00:03:23.040
because they've traced the accounts that they were promoting it to china ccp influencer accounts
00:03:27.700
i'm super not i i do not believe having used deep seek that there's a lot of people using deep
00:03:33.720
you know didn't the didn't that viral cycle around deep seek also correspond with this short-lived
00:03:41.200
period when the youtube algorithm weirdly favored chinese propaganda videos it's still doing that
00:03:49.340
i'm now getting the critical stuff again maybe because the algo realizes i refuse to watch the
00:03:54.680
propaganda but no it's still it's still doing the propaganda like somebody needs to talk to youtube
00:04:01.460
about what's going on because it is very clearly punishing channels like china seekers and like i
00:04:06.460
don't like if anybody has any connections at youtube like whatever this pro ccp thing they have going on
00:04:11.740
so i've noticed that two types of videos are getting artificially sublimated by youtube right now
00:04:15.660
one is anything that is critical of the ccp which is literally a regime that's engaged in genocide
00:04:22.020
like like they have an active genocide campaign against this is known yes it's not a mystery at present
00:04:28.080
and anything that is is critical of trans people these are two categories really wow
00:04:34.540
despite trump's clear executive well they haven't been able to need to they need to do a law around
00:04:42.760
this or something yeah they're a little busy and they're doing lots of stuff you know they're doing
00:04:47.600
more than i expected some too in the trump administration but yeah yeah so let's talk about
00:04:51.400
this replicator program okay what we're all here to talk about why are you the only one who's told me
00:04:57.000
about this i would feel like drudge report being the liberal bastion it is now would be having an
00:05:03.260
aneurysm liberals are pro-war don't you know that they're the party of cheney trump's the person who's
00:05:08.160
trying to end the war and everyone can see now that he was completely sincere about this because now
00:05:12.520
he's gotten mad against putin and it's writing 25 to 50 percent oil tariffs on putin and like
00:05:17.380
look the people are like oh he was in putin's pocket but that when putin started belittling
00:05:22.600
zelinski and saying zelinski wasn't legitimate enough to hold the negotiations trump got furious
00:05:28.900
which i think shows to everyone that anyone who's like oh he's in putin's pocket no he just wants
00:05:33.920
people to stop dying over literally nothing at this point there is literally no gain to have people
00:05:40.720
like well it will teach russia they're not going to win back that land they're not going to win back
00:05:46.460
that land they have had plenty of time to win back that land they're not winning it back right now it's
00:05:50.900
just how long before we accept that they might get a few miles how many hundreds of thousands of
00:05:57.820
lives is a few miles worth we haven't had a big breakthrough in years or not years but like a
00:06:04.120
year like it's clear that there isn't the capacity for that anymore in terms of manpower
00:06:08.460
on the ukrainian side and on the russian side it's like well will russia attack other countries
00:06:13.280
still they don't have the manpower left to do that they've been completely bled dry by this war
00:06:17.580
there there isn't really anything like i i was actually pro the war at the beginning but now
00:06:25.260
i'm just like now they've been bled dry he did the zach branigan style the ukrainians a trifle
00:06:31.600
it was simply a matter of outsmarting them you see ukrainians preset kill limit knowing their
00:06:37.500
weakness i sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shut down
00:06:42.680
kiff show them the medal i won that's literally was his war tactic yeah anyway so the initiative
00:06:51.360
is structured around to two lines of effort with replicator one focused on all domain attributable
00:06:57.440
autonomous ada2 systems encompassing aerial ground surface subsurface and subspace capabilities
00:07:04.700
so note what is subspace aside from uh the version i'm thinking of in the in the in the orbit
00:07:13.120
orbital so they want autonomous orbital drones they want what i found interesting was subsurface
00:07:19.100
so this is underground drones that's crazy underground automated kill drones yes
00:07:29.300
kind of like the the i'm picturing something akin to the boring machine but clearly much smaller
00:07:35.480
something that burrows theoretically right not moving through underground waterways or something but
00:07:40.760
that could also no no it's at burrows that's my understanding here yeah that that seems
00:07:45.940
any fish is not horrifying we've got the space drones now and the underground drones now and the
00:07:52.840
uh anyway replicate i feel like can can we get an emp machine it's like a great it wouldn't work against
00:08:00.000
these why not because you can in the same way they're mass producing these they can't afford to make
00:08:06.460
all of them emp proof these are like disposable no they they can and you actually sort of need to
00:08:12.020
with drones because you have to worry about like weight radio we're going to go over into the techniques
00:08:16.600
that people can use to fight them but yeah they're almost certainly being made emp proof okay so yes i'm
00:08:21.600
sorry simone now there's likely versions that are not emp proof sure but i imagine that you're getting
00:08:28.300
a bit of both depending on the the context or whatever but you wouldn't be able to use emps as
00:08:32.340
like a useful defense replicator 2 announced on september 27th 2024 shifts focus to countering small
00:08:42.060
unscrewed aerial systems this is what the army calls automated drones like flying drones okay addressing
00:08:50.380
threats to critical installations and force concentrations this phased approach ensures
00:08:54.760
alignment with warfighter priorities and operational needs so basically they're working on building them
00:09:00.300
and they're working on building defenses against them most and and this program is meant to end or be
00:09:06.040
completed by 2026 so soon excuse me one yeah oh
00:09:12.740
now all i can think about with which is how much are we overpaying for this
00:09:19.060
well they've engaged over 500 companies as part of the project so a lot probably but i i'd like them to
00:09:27.060
continue working on this because i think that this is probably necessary for any potential conflict we may
00:09:31.240
have with china anyone who doesn't have a replicator program is pretty screwed by anyone who does uh
00:09:36.180
the dod program launched in august 2023 with the goal of rapidly fielding thousands of autonomous systems
00:09:42.280
across multiple warfighting domains by august 2025 it is led by the defense innovation unit diu
00:09:49.720
and aims to leverage innovative technologies to address operational challenges particularly
00:09:54.400
countering china's military capabilities that is the core person that they're focused on with this
00:09:58.660
mass deployment autonomous systems so the it's focused on low cost expendable systems designed
00:10:04.760
to disperse combat power and reduce risk associated with losing expensive platforms these systems span
00:10:10.960
aerial ground maritime and space domains it's mostly being counter china and operational applications
00:10:17.800
examples include fleets of self-propelled sensor pods for intelligence gathering ground-based systems for
00:10:23.840
logistics support and space-based platforms for secure communication
00:10:27.660
strategic importance why are they doing this replicator is inspired by lessons from ukraine's
00:10:33.140
use of low-cost drones in its conflict with russia by adopting similar tactics the u.s aims to enhance
00:10:39.700
deterrence capabilities against potential threats such as chinese invasion of taiwan the initiative
00:10:45.420
represents a shift towards scalable adaptable military technologies that can be updated or replaced
00:10:50.780
quickly to maintain operational superiority and i note that we are now seeing a shift in the way wars play out
00:10:57.440
and every time we've seen one country just like absolutely rode another country and and and and
00:11:02.920
go through it it was because they developed a new unit or a new way of fighting that made it much harder
00:11:07.980
to defend than to be on the offense specific instances of this were alexander's war he had the phalanx which
00:11:15.060
was just like really good in the way he used it and nobody could really counter it he always or at least in a lot of
00:11:20.500
famous battles he used geography to his advantage or like the local like yes hills rivers it's not that
00:11:27.440
he was a bad general i'm not saying that he wasn't a genius there but it was his troops and the way they
00:11:33.400
fought there was very little the enemy could do it was just like a wall of spears right yeah yeah what do
00:11:39.040
you do against a wall of spears that can easily defend itself from arrows and then the was napoleon i
00:11:45.460
forgot exactly what it was i remember it's something to do with like a a berserker gun charge this was
00:11:51.600
early in sort of musket days and it was incredibly effective and then with the hitler what you have is
00:11:59.680
the first modern tanks which just allowed him to you know before that it was trench warfare it was like
00:12:04.400
oh this is how you drive over trenches yeah yeah so much for that line and it did nothing
00:12:09.780
against tanks and we lived in a tank-based world order i think up until today really the tank-based
00:12:18.180
world order was overcome by drones because it turns out that you could just send out these little cheap
00:12:23.860
drones and they can delete you know a few hundred thousand dollars to million dollar tanks really
00:12:29.880
easily and so now we need to think of okay now and it wasn't just to drones by the way like in air
00:12:39.020
and on land you also had the end of the age of like battleships because what ukraine has been doing
00:12:44.060
is attaching explosives to like a ton these are they're human controlled so they're not fully
00:12:48.920
autonomous we haven't entered that area which is obviously going to be the next era human like
00:12:53.600
remote controlled like jet skis with like explosives on them and then driving them up to big ships
00:12:58.340
and they cost very little to put together the ship has struggles to target it and it hits the ship
00:13:05.660
the ship explodes and that's a you know many million dollar investment many of which russia can't
00:13:10.600
replace because they were made during the soviet days sometimes in ukraine and they lack the capacity
00:13:16.800
to easily replace it not easily ever replace anything from that era they just don't have the industrial
00:13:22.280
capacity to do that anymore like dogs etc they really are a civilization like modern russia is one of
00:13:29.640
those civilizations operating on like ancient tech that they don't know how to make anymore
00:13:34.460
yeah capacity to make anymore from a military perspective which is really wild to think about
00:13:40.480
because everything they lose is something that can never be replaced
00:13:43.500
it's not true for everything but it's true for a lot of the technology especially the large projects
00:13:49.060
like the ships that they have 100 yeah and there's there's been cases of ships that russia has like
00:13:54.600
operating using like only one of like originally like oh four engines that what was the name of
00:14:01.080
that hilarious ship laser yeah yeah is this the same one where we just started lying down or something
00:14:08.280
so she's thinking of the hilarious russian military attempt so there's a good video tales from the
00:14:15.340
bottle go watch their video on the russia invasion of japan and the ships had so many problems like
00:14:21.940
they're approached by like fishing ships and everybody like dove on the ground and like was
00:14:26.820
praying for their lives and they were like it's wild and they ended up like doing this huge operation to
00:14:32.820
sneak up to japan and then just told like another ship oh we're here to sneak up on japan and just went
00:14:38.500
off and told everyone like it was so bad so bad maritime war has ever been russia's strong suit for obvious
00:14:46.440
reasons i mean it's it's it's their their country is so separated from maritime sort of conflict areas
00:14:52.460
why would they be super awesome at it but i'll keep going is what i'm reading here so as of 2025 the
00:15:00.040
initiative is on track with the first iteration expected by july to august 2025 focusing on lethal
00:15:07.640
swarms of unmanned vehicles and software to bind them together particularly to prevent chinese invasions
00:15:13.800
confirmed systems include aero vermer's switchblade 600 loitering munition and andrew dill's dive ld
00:15:22.480
unscrewed undersea vehicle the pentagon aims to invest about one billion dollars in 2024 to 2025
00:15:30.180
reflecting significant financial commitment so let's talk about this switchblade because i find it
00:15:37.000
really interesting the switchblade it's like comes in a tube and it can be carried by a human
00:15:43.380
and they drop it and it creates not like a a drone like this but like a little airplane that flies
00:15:50.160
super fast and can drop bombs that can get rid of like tanks and stuff oh okay this other one is like
00:16:00.820
a small undersea submersible that shoots it looks basically like a giant torpedo that shoots smaller
00:16:07.120
torpedoes and and and works on sand that's the other one that they built recently so these are and and
00:16:13.900
in 2021 so a while ago there are almost 700 variations of artificial intelligence related projects within the
00:16:19.760
dod well at least it's cool sounding pretty sci-fi i want to bring back like i have always really
00:16:32.440
appreciated military spending with the knowledge that so many cool things we have are the product
00:16:38.540
of military spending like the internet and a bunch of other cool stuff yeah but the internet's for porn
00:16:44.940
yeah but we wouldn't have had it were it not for the military so we're not for killing people this
00:16:50.100
everyone thinks the internet's for the internet's for killing people porn was just a nice side effect
00:16:54.760
yeah a beautiful externality yes but i i appreciate that that we've we've received quite a few cool
00:17:02.940
of quite a few cool things from the internet or in military but i've also had this impression that
00:17:07.900
all the cool stuff we've received has been from a long time ago kind of due for more stuff and there was
00:17:14.760
a lot of stagnation a lot that had to do with very very inefficient spending at least this is
00:17:20.380
interesting at least i feel like this is maybe what it's going to take for us to get delivery drones
00:17:26.640
that really work because listen this i don't know because smart people don't work in the government
00:17:31.660
anymore and they used to and i think that that's what these are government contractors so they are
00:17:35.720
they are private citizens mostly buildings yeah and they're all like dei nonsense yeah i mean look
00:17:41.520
at boeing right they can't make basic anything anymore because it's been operating so much on dei like
00:17:47.040
too i don't know if i trust until until we get our boys in there to clean everything out i don't know
00:17:52.240
it's happening look they're they're getting there boeing is i feel like super on its way out 2024 was the
00:17:58.180
year that everyone concluded okay you can't do anything you can't pick people up in space you can't fly a
00:18:05.080
plane yeah it's just over for them we we just need all government contracts to go to elon-owned
00:18:10.440
companies i know i know the left would freak out about that look like i would feel so much better
00:18:15.020
well yeah right like just no he just he does a better job spacex is actually pretty impressive
00:18:25.260
if spacex made planes i don't know anyway it's not just spacex it's it's tesla it's it's the fact
00:18:31.100
that a bunch of people have solar panels like my dad he doesn't just have and he doesn't even have a
00:18:39.220
tesla he's a rivian but he uses elon musk solar panels and charging systems at his house he uses
00:18:46.900
starlink for his internet at the ranch oh he does yeah that we used it and it was good like i don't
00:18:53.240
think when we were visiting him no i didn't notice anything for his wedding that it was bad at all it was
00:18:59.520
good so it's good stuff and that's you weren't you were just talking about not starlink not
00:19:07.140
all the solar stuff not the like it's just and twitter he is honestly like the iron man of our
00:19:13.720
world like why why is it all of the technologies that like after him tony stark the modern version
00:19:20.740
was modeled after him yeah i guess progressives used to love that he was like you know pro
00:19:25.160
environment and everything like that no he was the he was the joe rogan before joe rogan you know
00:19:30.320
he was the you know green energy billionaire philanthropist i mean keep in mind also like he he 100%
00:19:36.340
had he supported lgbtq rights he had this one tweet that had so many freaking like rainbow hearts in it
00:19:42.240
that it was practically unhinged he he helped his daughter transition and i think that was the same
00:19:49.240
that was the same daughter who also was not comfortable with capitalism and that really i think
00:19:56.440
influenced him to live like a homeless man for years he didn't have a home yeah slept on people's
00:20:05.120
couches this is well documented he he didn't have anything he wasn't materialist
00:20:11.660
i'm just like no oh i wish we had an elon musk of the left you had it you had joe rogan you had
00:20:20.160
elon musk no they do you had jfk or rfk they had they had what was her face jk rowling you know they
00:20:28.380
well so it was elon musk the elon musk of the left is what's his face that that mark cuban who so
00:20:34.780
could have been something you know but he just what is mark cuban built that we use nothing of
00:20:40.660
course that's why he's elon musk of the left he's done nothing but he's sort of like aesthetically
00:20:45.280
no come on there has to be an elon musk of the left it'll like linkedin guy's big
00:20:50.660
like dnt supporter but what has he built since linkedin and who likes linkedin yeah
00:20:56.140
linkedin the worst it's like an actively retarded social media platform
00:21:03.300
it's where you go to be retarded yeah i swear i swear anyway anyway so what can you do to fight
00:21:12.220
against this stuff right like what yes okay so let's say yeah now i'm concerned how do we you know
00:21:16.460
defend our house from these drone swarms because they burrow so i didn't plan on burrowing
00:21:22.120
microwave you can use thor or midjourney they emit our radio frequency energy to overwhelm drone
00:21:30.020
circuitry causing crashes thor is a mobily assembled two people sorry thor is mobile assembled by two
00:21:37.360
people in two hours midjourney extends range with detection they have proven effectiveness but they
00:21:43.220
cost millions of dollars oh well that's not an option okay lasers high-powered lasers heat
00:21:50.060
drones to cause component failure appears with cracking radar for accuracy unreliable in dense
00:21:55.520
weather fogs cloud smoke or with reflective coatings on drones so not that effective in many
00:22:02.040
so we cover our house in a giant mirror yeah yeah jamming well the point is is that we can't
00:22:10.840
fight the drones was this we can shoot the lasers at the drones but if the drones just like release
00:22:15.560
smoke into the air it stops working i thought if we release smoke into the air the drones have
00:22:20.840
trouble seeing no this is about what the drones can use for defense so you can destroy no and then now
00:22:27.180
they have smoke when did you mention smoke if you use a laser an automated tracking system you can use
00:22:34.460
that to go drone drone drone drone drone drone heat the components and have them fall down dead right
00:22:39.140
the problem is is that the drones can use smoke to prevent this from working or they can use just
00:22:46.460
reflective shielding with the microwaves yes you can do it you can overwhelm drone circuitry but it costs
00:22:52.640
millions of dollars and the systems are pretty big then you've got dramming systems which obstruct
00:22:57.780
radio frequencies to disrupt drone control effective against low quality drones these are like the
00:23:03.120
anti-drone guns you see but they're less effective against drones with inertial navigation or
00:23:09.000
jam resistant communication these are basically like as soon as the drone gets jammed they go into
00:23:14.280
like an automated setting and it doesn't work on them and the final one is building underground
00:23:19.560
facilities and weapons to avoid aerial detection requires contributable time and financing less viable
00:23:26.220
for organizations under immediate threat but the borrowing drones yes and now we'll have the
00:23:31.320
borrowing drones you think you're safe and they come underneath like in starship troopers
00:23:36.440
yeah it's really hard i mean like basically and this is why the drones have to be automated like
00:23:42.320
somebody's like why would you put automation in your automated drone factory like that sounds
00:23:46.780
horrifying that you're controlling this with ai but how like if you are in a drone dogfight where you have
00:23:52.760
hundreds of cheap drones or not hundreds they want thousands of interworking cheap drones fighting
00:23:58.760
thousands of other cheap drones yeah a human operator it's going to be out competed by an ai operator any day of the
00:24:05.140
100 because the ai operator can take into account information from 360 degrees around the drone
00:24:11.680
keep in mind if the drone's using something like a laser or a gun that can pivot a hundred and imagine if
00:24:19.020
it has multiple on it right like a human's never going to be able to control that but ai will yeah
00:24:24.660
so what it means to me is if you like your autonomy and i think many of you when i talk about automated
00:24:35.960
drone swarms and i'm like if you are a culture that has maintained high fertility by eschewing
00:24:41.000
technology you are effed and i think many people don't realize how dominant groups with these automated
00:24:47.960
ai drone factories are going to be over groups that don't have them it just will not be a competition
00:24:54.660
and these will be able to move into territory i think many americans sort of live with this idea
00:24:59.480
of well we can't be under attack here in the united states yes you can you could have ccp drones patrolling
00:25:07.360
your house you could have ccp drones patrolling your streets if you don't develop counters to that and
00:25:13.300
you're not able to project force back towards them if we don't prevent their ability to develop
00:25:19.320
enhanced chips or enhanced ai i mean fortunately deep seek such a joke but like one thing that
00:25:26.260
isn't a joke is china's capacity with drugs yeah it is easily the world leader with drugs and they're
00:25:31.600
investing a lot more in it too these days so yes their ai may not be particularly sophisticated but
00:25:39.060
their drones are and in the u.s there's been a number of like in ukraine there's been people on the
00:25:45.800
ground who have talked about this and they're like yeah we basically only use chinese drones
00:25:48.900
we've tried some of the american ones but they have this or this problem and the chinese out-of-the-box
00:25:54.920
ones are just better than the best of the american like defense ones etc which is worrying now i think
00:26:01.840
we can get above that i believe in american innovation if we keep bringing indian immigrants in
00:26:06.900
but sorry if i i understand the h1b visa concerns and i i get it but what i'm saying is is that
00:26:14.500
we need to keep running we are in a red queen's gambit with this stuff this is run as fast as you
00:26:22.240
can and you know you're you're never ahead because they're running as fast as you are now china is
00:26:26.560
fortunately not running as fast as we are but they i don't know this they're building this new giant
00:26:32.460
what is believed to be military defense facility that makes the pentagon look like a dollhouse
00:26:38.680
they are oh more bureaucracy i'm so scared they'll out bureaucracy us
00:26:43.900
yeah you're right i mean still though they're you know it's their bureaucracy versus ours now it's
00:26:52.680
not as though there are private drone swarm companies i'm aware i suppose yeah so we'll just
00:26:58.980
have to clean out our bureaucracy thank god we're doing that yeah people are really discounting how
00:27:04.220
important doge is for the survival of a lot of things we care about yeah yeah freedom gender
00:27:10.980
equality i mean not living under ccp you know this is this is why you know we got to keep standing
00:27:18.760
this it is the only path forward for our civilization but who cares what we think i mean
00:27:24.640
yeah who cares what we think but yeah drone swarms i think automated drone swarms are the future
00:27:30.900
in terms of how to deal with it like they're just i really i'm not seeing a way to deal with this
00:27:38.520
i think it goes back to our interest in living in a place that is so remote and undesirable
00:27:45.120
and unusable to anyone but us that there would be no drones there because they have no interest
00:27:52.480
in us plus having utility to the majority of the world like being you want to be like jews have
00:27:59.380
historically been which is no one wants to be you no one wants to mess with you and you provide a
00:28:04.920
service that they're they just don't want to bother to provide themselves and that they use
00:28:08.860
and that's why i really want to get our family into bioengineering because i think a lot of
00:28:13.480
a lot of societies especially as demographics make society skew more conservative are not going to have
00:28:19.800
the stomach for it but the she wants us to become the tylaxu but she refuses to
00:28:25.480
no i want us to create superhumans okay in machine artificial wombs thank you very much
00:28:36.560
machine artificial wombs it would use some biological components lately yeah but not sentient ones
00:28:43.580
they're not sentient in the original books it was only the sun's books where they were sentient
00:28:50.220
it's easy to make something without a brain we already do that note here she's referencing a
00:28:57.980
debate we are having about our next son's middle name and i want it to be tylaxu and she wants it
00:29:03.620
to be atreides yeah i know you know i just i don't want our son to start dating and have some you know
00:29:14.580
he finds finally his nerdy girlfriend but for some reason of bad taste you know some oversight on her
00:29:20.160
part she considers the son's works canon right and then she's like wait so you're standing the loss of
00:29:31.400
female bodily autonomy your family stands this you know and like you know we're gonna be super close
00:29:36.480
with our kids girlfriends and boyfriends it's just not gonna go well i i don't want to hamper
00:29:42.580
our children's i not that paul atreides was the perfect partner either he was she this is kind
00:29:50.820
of he was a bad partner all around really this is about our debate between the names
00:29:55.720
atreides by laxu and atreides for yeah for our quiz but but what what would i do if i was building an
00:30:06.280
anti-drawn defense this is the way my anti-drawn defense would work um it would shoot up something
00:30:11.420
you could say like a grenade that would have a timer that could be set before it shot so it's
00:30:17.560
basically a fairly dumb ammunition it's an ammunition that shoots out of a tube with a
00:30:22.680
timer that explodes after a preset amount of time which is driving fire where it's shot okay wait
00:30:29.400
think of it like a grenade being shot out of a mortar basically okay but it doesn't work like a
00:30:34.360
typical mortar because the it's a variable timer that's on the grenade now these tubes are controlled
00:30:42.840
on a a pivot right here and they have an ai system controlling them that also controls the timer on
00:30:49.660
the dumb ammunition so what it allows it to do is a ground-based system so you don't need the ai
00:30:56.100
in anything flying in any of the ammunition or anything like that it's just going
00:31:00.500
at any drone swarms it sees in an area now this would create obviously some potential damage on
00:31:09.420
the ground like you wouldn't want people to be around this but i think that this could eliminate
00:31:12.980
even fairly large drone swarms at a much lower cost than it costs to create those drone swarms
00:31:19.580
yeah and i guess when we talk about yeah you have to think about long-term cost when i think about
00:31:26.160
for example israel's iron dome system it is so much cheaper for houthis or palestinians to
00:31:34.760
create really low cost ammunition that could hit israeli targets than it is for israel to use the iron
00:31:45.460
dome like i think each each intervene in each intervention costs what i mean at least tens of
00:31:51.840
thousands of dollars i think a lot more millions yeah like huge insane amounts of money that are
00:31:56.960
deeply disturbing to me well but fortunately it is real so productive you know you gotta pay for
00:32:03.580
the iron dome somehow but i i i i think my system would do very well against drone swarms so i suggest
00:32:12.860
investing in it darpa i'm here if you want me to build it for you it's so fun to work with darpa
00:32:19.160
i don't think i think it'd be so much bureaucracy but we'll see post doge darpa maybe post doge darpa
00:32:27.180
yeah or maybe he's saying like more privatization fire you darpa yeah yeah yeah yeah anyway love you
00:32:34.620
today simone you are amazing we're having red curry tonight right yeah what do you want is your carb do
00:32:41.360
you want naan do you want lime rice or do you want well lime rice is just so much easier for you so
00:32:48.380
let's do that okay yeah considering the time i think i will do that thank you and there's there's
00:32:54.960
underwater signals i was just reading about it yeah they are supposed to be artificially
00:32:57.860
intelligence controlled they're long-range persistent underwater sensors and they they uh so they
00:33:03.760
basically can like live underwater we're in for it it's buckle up i don't know they're anti-submarine
00:33:13.600
oh terrifying yeah i feel like the age of submarine is coming too yeah the age of submarines makes no
00:33:21.520
sense when you have deep sea automated like things looking like all over the ocean looking for anything
00:33:28.740
and just doesn't make no sense doesn't do it for me yeah i wouldn't want to be in one when the enemy
00:33:36.380
can take me down with something like that nor would i no but i also would never want to be in a
00:33:41.560
submarine i think it takes a really special kind of person to not panic just upon being inside a
00:33:50.020
submarine well you know one of our cousins or one of your cousins through sandy used to be like a
00:33:55.860
high-level person yeah yeah yeah yeah he's such a nice guy went to the gsp right yeah yeah he went to
00:34:00.360
the sets the same for graduate school business after yeah he he lived on one for years yeah yeah
00:34:05.420
it's very special person like i said exceptional not me not me either not with this technology out
00:34:13.120
there don't see the point yeah yeah all right love you to decimum i love you too
00:34:18.100
ending recording this is a fascinating malcolm oh my gosh my stomach is like so upset and like thinking
00:34:28.860
about anything makes me want to vomit and yet this is also the same person who just hours ago was
00:34:34.860
eating hummus out of a tin with a spoon she's pregnant by the way for people who don't know
00:34:42.160
that's deeply wrong with this process something deeply wrong i'm so sorry i know you're working
00:34:48.140
so hard to make babies well i always used to joke that you know the pita would just existed as a
00:34:53.540
conveyor of hummus but i'm like wait no a spoon can also exist as a conveyor of hummus we can just cut
00:34:59.020
out the middleman to be more efficient have you thought about making your own hummus yet
00:35:03.800
i have made me a hummus it's ideal to make it with tahini and we i don't think actually you might
00:35:09.860
have some tahini so i can do that yeah our when we've made our own hummus it's really good
00:35:14.680
oh wow okay yeah well i wouldn't mind having some your salsas are really good
00:35:20.320
you make a delicious salsa she took she roasts everything it's way better than like the best
00:35:26.420
mexican restaurants you wouldn't even believe it so nice to me wouldn't it be cool if we could make
00:35:30.760
guac though i think the problem with guac is it's really i guess where we live at least hard to buy
00:35:36.800
an avocado and know you've got a good avocado no it's hard anywhere i'm good at making good
00:35:41.900
guacamole the problem is is getting good avocados it's avocado that's roulette and we've we tried
00:35:49.280
buying frozen avocado that one time like okay well if this is just consistently good and we all
00:35:52.980
have to do is thaw it then it should be fine no gross no it's very annoying well i will we should
00:36:01.640
we should try again with with avocados oh i love guacamole so much yeah um we'll see how much they
00:36:09.080
cost i remember them being cheaper than i expected at the store and the kids would have a lot of fun was
00:36:13.280
making it yeah yeah and it's very healthy to eat especially if the kids end up liking it
00:36:20.760
totally well and especially if we if we bought like a proper moca hit day and like
00:36:26.500
ground it up in it the kids would love i mean touristin would love a like grinding rock you know
00:36:32.620
what i mean like going for it well i mean it's probably easier just use a blender i know but
00:36:38.700
i feel like traditional guacamole is pretty freaking awesome we could just season it always wanted to
00:36:44.660
season a moca head day you know like proper you want a moca head is what she was she wanted maybe
00:36:50.400
maybe just a little bit okay but i don't think this is like an yeah so we got a blender okay fine
00:36:57.900
yeah i'm so i'm so excited for your curry tonight because i tasted the extra spiced one it was really
00:37:03.840
good okay version just wasn't that spice i i just batch froze most of it and you have three days
00:37:08.640
worth of it for the fridge so you know me like and subscribe to the channel if that is really fancy
00:37:16.660
if you don't like and subscribe to the channel well you can still i'm gonna comment and like
00:37:23.360
down below tell us what you think about this in the comment below in our video bye
