Red Ice TV - AI Is Indirectly ＂Election Meddling＂ To Keep Right-Wing Parties Out of Power

00:00:00.000 All right, so let's talk about artificial intelligence now.

00:00:02.840 A lot of things have happened on this front over the last just couple of months

00:00:06.000 with all these chatbots being wheeled out.

00:00:09.400 But there is a deeper discussion and a deeper worry here as well,

00:00:12.640 not just chatting with an AI, a chatbot, which is fun.

00:00:17.240 I think it points to something much more disturbing.

00:00:19.720 And so let's begin with this piece.

00:00:20.940 This was from SVT here, Swedish Public Television.

00:00:25.580 AI technology can provide an advantage in war.

00:00:30.300 And it was the Swedish television show went to talk with Alex Karp.

00:00:36.900 He's one of five founders of the Palantir, which Peter Thiel helped fund.

00:00:42.920 He's, by the way, one of the two Jewish founders as well, Alex Karp.

00:00:46.940 And he says the spin here was the Ukraine war and how drones and AI can help them

00:00:51.780 to win the war and these kinds of things, right?

00:00:53.720 But he mentioned something kind of interesting because ultimately this will come down to

00:00:57.780 whether or not or how well artificial intelligence will be able to manipulate humans

00:01:04.540 and ultimately take over or dominate or at least at the very, very least alter them

00:01:11.140 and their experiences that they're having in some way.

00:01:13.940 Listen to what they talked about here.

00:01:16.860 It's a little bit beginning on a different spin here.

00:01:18.980 But this is basically how they think AI has helped to prevent there from being right-wing governments

00:01:27.540 in Western Europe and specifically Northern Europe by, I know this is a long-term thought here,

00:01:33.700 but by stopping terrorist attacks.

00:01:37.280 Listen to what he says here.

00:01:38.340 I think this is an interesting piece.

00:01:39.580 Hi, Alexander Nord, Swedish TV.

00:01:42.080 Hi, Alex Karp. Now, I can tell you something shocking.

00:01:45.440 The Ukrainians who are the most interesting and talented among engineers in the world

00:01:51.080 took the product we had built for the US military

00:01:54.500 and found ways to use it in accordance also with other allies

00:01:59.120 to more effectively target their adversary.

00:02:02.220 Palantir har även civila kunder.

00:02:04.080 This product has stopped major terror attacks multiple times every year.

00:02:10.240 And I believe one of the things I'm most proud about is

00:02:12.880 if those terror attacks had happened,

00:02:14.720 you would have a far-right governance in every single country in Europe

00:02:19.120 and especially in the Nordics.

00:02:21.000 Isn't that interesting, right?

00:02:22.440 I wish they were spending more time on actually the device he's talking about,

00:02:26.340 but I assume it's like maybe pattern recognition online or something like that, right?

00:02:30.220 But he's basically saying because of all these immigrants that we brought in,

00:02:33.220 they're obviously going to want to bomb the shit out of you. 0.84

00:02:36.640 And so if that would have actually have happened,

00:02:38.820 yes, the reaction would have been bigger

00:02:40.460 and more people by now would have voted for right-wing parties.

00:02:43.400 That's what he's saying there.

00:02:44.380 Quite an admission.

00:02:45.400 So you could argue then AI is already election meddling, right?

00:02:51.600 Let me tell you the value you add in Sweden.

00:02:53.900 Your government would be even further to the right

00:02:56.480 if it was not for the products, our products.

00:02:58.460 You have clients both in the public sector and the private sector.

00:03:05.040 Where do you draw the line whom you work with and deliver to?

00:03:09.340 From the inception, it was controversial.

00:03:11.060 We decided never to work in China, never to work in Russia.

00:03:14.060 There's a gray zone like places where they're allied with the West in America

00:03:17.620 where we have long debates, but we work in every country in the West.

00:03:21.320 Fascinating admission there, wouldn't you say?

00:03:23.420 There would definitely be more of a right-wing government definitely in Sweden by now

00:03:28.100 if our product wouldn't have stopped.

00:03:30.160 You're saying this Jewish co-founder, together with money from the great right-wing hope, 0.59

00:03:37.500 isn't that what he's been called?

00:03:38.520 Peter Thiel, who is behind Palantir, right?

00:03:42.420 They, because of their technology, have managed to keep right-wing governments

00:03:46.800 out of being in power in Western Europe and specifically Northern Europe.

00:03:53.420 Fascinating how that works.

00:03:54.700 So there are a couple of, quite a few movies, of course, warning about this,

00:03:58.180 of AI and stuff, you know, the Matrix.

00:03:59.900 But I'm saying on this level that we're at right now, right,

00:04:03.460 with the emotional bond that people develop to these things, right?

00:04:06.800 The chatbots, I've talked about this probably over at least a year ago,

00:04:10.780 probably two years ago now, of how they're going to use images, photos,

00:04:17.580 the voice from your mom or whatever, or your daughter, your son, your uncle,

00:04:23.880 your brother, your sister, whatever, that's created from, you know, 0.92

00:04:27.680 Facebook accounts and things like this.

00:04:29.380 Scrape all that it can get.

00:04:31.640 Create a kind of composite character that you can interact and talk with.

00:04:36.440 In other words, it's also beginning us onto our journey

00:04:39.400 where we're going to refuse to accept the death, for example, right?

00:04:42.540 And you're going to continue to talk with your, you know, your dead mother.

00:04:46.760 Okay, Amazon just unveiled new technology that has people talking.

00:04:50.680 Its Alexa devices already give users weather and news via well-known voices

00:04:54.220 like Gordon Ramsay, Samuel L. Jackson, Melissa McCarthy.

00:04:58.020 But its latest option could leave people feeling a bit weirded out

00:05:01.620 or comforted by a blast from the past.

00:05:05.060 Nick, voices of people who have died.

00:05:07.540 Absolutely, Adrian, Amazon believes nothing says I love you

00:05:11.360 like hearing it from your grandmother who may have died 15 years ago.

00:05:15.460 Amazon is working on new technology to make Alexa mimic the voice of anyone,

00:05:20.100 dead or alive, with just a short recording.

00:05:23.660 The e-commerce giant showed off the idea at its ReMars conference

00:05:27.660 this week in Las Vegas.

00:05:29.340 Check out the video shown at the event.

00:05:33.500 Alexa, can grandma finish reading me The Wizard of Oz?

00:05:36.360 Okay.

00:05:38.680 But how about my courage?

00:05:41.240 Ask the lion anxiously.

00:05:43.780 You have plenty of courage, I am sure.

00:05:48.260 Well, you heard it.

00:05:49.660 Alexa affirmed before changing her voice into the young boy's grandmothers. 0.98

00:05:54.260 Amazon says once the technology is finally rolled out,

00:05:57.280 Alexa will be able to imitate the voice of anyone 0.86

00:05:59.940 after hearing it for less than a minute.

00:06:02.500 Right now, it's not clear how far the feature is in its development

00:06:06.060 or when it will be available to the public.

00:06:08.920 So far, Adrian, the idea is getting mixed reviews online.

00:06:12.480 Some Alexa users say it's a great idea,

00:06:14.800 but others say it's a little too weird for them.

00:06:17.480 And it's going to talk just like her.

00:06:20.400 It's going to sound like her.

00:06:21.520 It's going to look like her if you have a visual imprint of this thing.

00:06:24.660 It's going to be your children.

00:06:26.380 It's going to be your mother, your father, your wife, your girlfriend, 0.99

00:06:30.360 as we're now seeing.

00:06:32.060 So her is one of these that came to mind.

00:06:34.100 Did you see this one?

00:06:35.140 Ah, yes.

00:06:35.780 It's an older movie, but still relevant to the subject, yeah.

00:06:38.420 Yeah, let's play the trailer.

00:06:39.760 Joaquin Phoenix was in it.

00:06:40.620 Yeah, and it shows him, you know,

00:06:42.280 they call it an operating system in the movie here,

00:06:45.420 but the point is this is a chatbot, right?

00:06:47.540 It is a female voice, and he becomes in love with this thing.

00:06:53.080 You know what I mean?

00:06:53.460 You found some stuff on this, the replica stuff.

00:06:55.720 They're actually promoting this whole idea of an AI soulmate,

00:06:59.340 someone to talk to all the time.

00:07:00.780 There's this app you can get called a replica app

00:07:03.780 to see a tweet in the beginning covering this.

00:07:07.180 Join the millions who already have met their AI soulmates.

00:07:10.000 I was like, what is this?

00:07:13.720 I'll scroll through here.

00:07:48.280 and it's a black man.

00:07:49.260 He's watering his plants, right, in real life,

00:07:53.000 and he's got his blonde AI soulmate right there.

00:07:56.780 And they're exploring the world.

00:07:58.480 Precious moments with your AI friend.

00:08:01.160 I wanted to read some of the reviews here on the bottom.

00:08:03.920 Let's see.

00:08:04.460 There's Forbes.

00:08:05.460 There was PopSugar.

00:08:06.280 The more you talk to your Replica companion,

00:08:08.480 the more it learns and becomes like you,

00:08:10.100 and the more it gives you the type of feedback and reaction

00:08:12.180 that a friend would if in the same position.

00:08:14.460 New York Times, with help from machine learning,

00:08:16.700 Replica offers a smartphone chatbot

00:08:18.580 that acts as a kind of personal confidant

00:08:20.780 chatting about the important moments in your life.

00:08:23.960 What does Wired say here?

00:08:25.920 Using Replica can feel therapeutic, too, in some ways.

00:08:29.200 The app provides a space to vent without guilt

00:08:31.140 to talk about complicated feelings

00:08:32.860 to air any of your own thoughts without judgment.

00:08:37.360 Yeah, because no one is listening.

00:08:38.720 Daily Beast.

00:08:39.640 Replica is, in essence, a push to get you

00:08:41.280 to stop believing all your own bullshit

00:08:43.300 by giving you a space to be honest and vulnerable

00:08:45.840 with your AI companion

00:08:47.840 who can raise, in a sense, to support you

00:08:50.860 when it feels like you are not having anyone

00:08:53.460 right at the moment.

00:08:54.720 Yeah, this is for real.

00:08:56.220 Literally, they're advocating for handing over processes

00:08:58.880 to machines that they are not even comfortable enough

00:09:01.360 to share with humans yet.

00:09:03.120 It's insane.

00:09:05.080 So now you're going to have your AI...

00:09:07.300 You can be coached.

00:09:08.160 Yeah, you can come and get advice.

00:09:10.160 Yeah.

00:09:10.600 Things you don't want to talk to about,

00:09:12.180 you know, with real humans.

00:09:13.640 Memory.

00:09:14.060 It never forgets.

00:09:14.900 You have bad memory?

00:09:16.000 Let's let Replica take care of it for you. 0.53

00:09:18.760 Vice says, 0.53

00:09:19.300 Stanley's not the only one having conversations with code.

00:09:22.160 Across the globe,

00:09:22.840 more and more people are turning to AI chatbots

00:09:24.580 to fulfill their conversational needs.

00:09:27.680 Oh, my God.

00:09:28.800 Yeah.

00:09:29.100 I mean, that's what I'm saying.

00:09:30.920 This shit is happening already.

00:09:33.040 It's not like,

00:09:34.040 oh, it's coming.

00:09:34.680 It's not right now.

00:09:36.080 It's fulfilling your girlfriend needs, 0.97

00:09:38.080 your friend needs,

00:09:39.300 your confidant needs,

00:09:40.420 and then it's going to be like your pet needs,

00:09:42.640 your children needs,

00:09:44.400 all of that.

00:09:45.420 And that fits into this whole agenda 2030 thing

00:09:48.080 of like living in a pod,

00:09:50.080 being in virtual reality,

00:09:51.300 not actually having these experiences in real life.

00:09:54.080 Nope.

00:09:54.560 Just stay in this box

00:09:55.920 and rot away with the VR system

00:09:58.700 and have your fake family lease everything,

00:10:02.580 right?

00:10:02.800 Have your fake kids,

00:10:04.860 your fake pet and all that.

00:10:06.360 You're doing your part also for the environment

00:10:08.080 by not procreating

00:10:09.020 and not wasting as much.

00:10:11.120 But never mind,

00:10:11.760 you'll just atrophy and waste away

00:10:13.320 and die a depressing death. 0.53

00:10:16.980 Well, I had that.

00:10:17.800 I mean,

00:10:17.920 there's not even a joke anymore, right?

00:10:19.680 Metaverse children to replace real kids by 2050

00:10:22.900 and help with overpopulation.

00:10:24.640 Like we're depopulating right now.

00:10:26.820 It's like we need more kids right now.

00:10:28.520 That's what's,

00:10:29.420 it's completely upside down.

00:10:30.800 But yeah,

00:10:31.260 no,

00:10:31.420 this is what they're pushing this.

00:10:32.960 And it's a white kid there.

00:10:33.400 Reduce your carbon footprint,

00:10:35.140 do your part, right?

00:10:36.780 You can become immortal.

00:10:37.620 You can have these experiences in here.

00:10:39.640 You don't have to actually have that in real life.

00:10:42.280 I mean,

00:10:42.540 what is this going to do to humans?

00:10:43.920 It's going to totally mess them up.

00:10:45.500 It becomes suicidal.

00:10:47.080 This is the matrix.

00:10:47.620 And crazy.

00:10:48.420 This is the matrix.

00:10:49.120 That's what it is.

00:10:49.900 This is,

00:10:50.420 you will get in the pod

00:10:51.500 and you will be fed bugs intravenously

00:10:53.800 and you'll just,

00:10:55.380 you know,

00:10:55.700 surrogates,

00:10:56.420 whatever,

00:10:56.620 you know,

00:10:56.780 all those things.

00:10:57.600 And you won't own anything,

00:10:58.700 right?

00:10:59.080 You'll still be happy.

00:11:00.060 You can lease everything.

00:11:01.280 You'll have everything you need,

00:11:02.800 but it won't belong to you.

00:11:04.420 You just borrow it

00:11:05.440 and we can take it away whenever we need.

00:11:06.680 But then it's still going to,

00:11:07.620 it's going to be virtual currencies

00:11:09.180 and you still have to struggle with money

00:11:11.380 in the virtual metaspace world.

00:11:13.580 And you're going to be,

00:11:13.980 still pay taxes,

00:11:14.780 right?

00:11:14.940 Of course.

00:11:15.800 You know,

00:11:16.100 all this,

00:11:16.400 it's going to be all the same shit.

00:11:17.740 Death and taxes,

00:11:18.240 even in VR,

00:11:19.040 right?

00:11:19.280 Oh my God.

00:11:19.720 Maybe this is a simulation.

00:11:21.160 Sometimes I understand people

00:11:22.160 who think that,

00:11:22.640 right?

00:11:22.820 But yeah,

00:11:23.320 you mentioned like Westworld.

00:11:24.900 And this was also another movie.

00:11:26.520 I didn't watch it.

00:11:27.380 Some TV show that was going around everywhere.

00:11:29.700 A world in which every human appetite

00:11:31.820 can be indulged without consequences.

00:11:33.820 And they show these like degenerate people

00:11:35.540 going there to like,

00:11:36.860 you know,

00:11:37.220 have orgies or murder people

00:11:39.140 or engage in violence or whatever.

00:11:41.380 And this is,

00:11:42.040 this kind of stuff is going to become real.

00:11:43.800 They're going to say,

00:11:44.280 well,

00:11:44.500 we have to stop,

00:11:45.400 you know,

00:11:46.420 crime in real life.

00:11:47.540 So we'll let them engage in that.

00:11:48.980 You know,

00:11:49.120 they'll let pedophiles do their thing. 0.99

00:11:50.720 In the,

00:11:51.100 in the metaverse,

00:11:51.960 right?

00:11:53.040 Yeah.

00:11:53.440 I mean,

00:11:53.680 exactly.

00:11:54.220 I mean,

00:11:54.400 what was it?

00:11:54.900 I had a screenshot.

00:11:55.960 One of them,

00:11:56.980 here we go.

00:11:57.860 Experts say people will soon live entire lives in metaverse.

00:12:02.340 One expert claims a large proportion of people will be in the metaverse in some way by,

00:12:07.400 what's the date again?

00:12:08.640 2030.

00:12:09.080 There you go.

00:12:09.900 So it's the same.

00:12:11.800 This is,

00:12:12.280 if they could prefer a method,

00:12:13.900 this is what they prefer for you.

00:12:15.500 Exactly.

00:12:16.120 And then of course,

00:12:17.000 they can hijack those systems and it's total control in every way possible.
