Summary
The Pope says artificial intelligence needs to be disarmed. Does this mean we should all be worried about autonomous weapons? Or should we focus on the good things about AI, like protecting the environment, education, and the poor?

A Safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen.
00:00:05.680
It means building new jails to keep criminals behind bars.
00:00:09.160
And it means there's no need to worry when I play at the park.
00:00:12.540
We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.
00:00:30.000
the pope the pope comes out and drops a message about ai and it's not what you think but the pope
00:00:38.900
comes out and says issues a warning about ai and autonomous weapons is this all the 13 points in
00:00:46.480
this one minute and 19 seconds rap or is this just something he's saying there just something
00:00:50.000
he's saying okay i do have the 13 points okay go to that and then we'll go to the 13 points
00:00:53.740
here's the pope the leader of roughly what is it 1.4 billion people umberto am i saying it
00:00:59.880
and growing and growing 1.4 they've been flat last couple years but they've been growing the last
00:01:04.440
12 months on what they're doing but here's the pope go ahead rob official intelligence needs to
00:01:10.740
be disarmed the word is strong i know but deliberately chosen because this moment
00:01:28.340
The church has long been working for nuclear disarmament,
00:01:36.180
and so must be accompanied by adequate moral discernment
00:01:47.980
In a similar sense, artificial intelligence now demands to be disarmed, freed from logics
00:01:59.200
AI needs to be disarmed, said by one of the most powerful men in the world, the Pope.
00:02:10.880
Comment in the comment section of what he's saying here with the points.
00:02:13.400
I think he's making very good points, but I want to open it up, and I hope there's some
00:02:16.800
disagreements here to see different angles. Number one, AI must serve humanity, not replace it. Okay,
00:02:22.960
common sense. Number two, human intelligence is unique. The Pope argued AI can process information
00:02:27.960
but cannot truly possess conscious, empathy, moral judgment, wonder, or a soul. Number three,
00:02:34.820
big tech concentration is dangerous. He warned against a handful of companies controlling
00:02:39.000
the future of intelligence and data. Number four, AI needs strong regulation. He called for
00:02:44.440
democratic oversight and international guardrails instead of self-regulation by tech companies.
00:02:52.400
Many would disagree with that in the tech industry.
00:02:58.000
He warned governments to prepare for labor disruption and protect workers displaced by
00:03:03.000
Six, workers must not be treated like machines.
00:03:06.600
He repeatedly connected AI to worker dignity, similar to how Pope Leo XIII addressed the
00:03:14.440
Number seven, AI-generated misinformation threatens democracy.
00:03:18.380
He warned about deepfakes, manipulation, propaganda, and the collapse of trust in truth itself.
00:03:27.480
One of the strongest warnings about autonomous warfare and AI-directed weapon systems.
00:03:31.740
Number nine, children's development must be protected.
00:03:34.520
He warned AI and screen could damage critical thinking, emotional development, attention span, and interpersonal growth in young people.
00:03:47.380
He argued AI systems inherit the values and biases of the people who build them.
00:03:52.520
Twelve human relationships matter more than efficiency.
00:03:55.700
And last but not least, society must choose between power and dignity.
00:03:59.980
The Pope framed AI as a civilizational crossroads.
00:04:05.800
I think it makes some, and it's very funny that the last pope during a big, you know, the Industrial Revolution, his name was Leo as well.
00:04:23.840
You have all this San Francisco, some of them, they're not my favorite people, injecting their moral standards to AI.
00:04:33.760
There's a few AI-based religions that have this.
00:04:37.100
Some of the bigger points, I think them, you know, not having AI-controlled weapons.
00:04:42.520
I think human life, I might be on the wrong, but human life is too valuable for an algorithm to decide between life or death.
00:04:56.340
Like we can't let AI, we can't get to the point.
00:05:01.140
And it's very possible that we'll get to the point that we start serving AI.
00:05:04.040
I don't know if you guys seen, there's an app where AI can hire you to do human jobs.
00:05:09.920
We're getting to that point and we're getting very close.
00:05:12.400
Now about the oversight part, it's just so difficult.
00:05:16.440
Personally, I think we're in an arms race with every country.
00:05:19.820
So if we get moral and stop doing something, somebody else will do it.
00:05:30.440
Calling for prudence, rigorous evaluation, and at times a slower pace in adopting the Internet does not mean opposing its progress.
00:05:38.400
Quote, it is essential that the use of the Internet, especially when it touches our public and our children and public goods and fundamental rights, be guided by clear criteria and effective oversight.
00:05:49.040
I took two quotes and I removed AI and he used the word Internet.
00:05:51.940
So I think that there's some things he's saying that maybe have some merit and some time for consideration, but every technological leap has included this.
00:06:01.680
Now, I will tell you that AI is very significant.
00:06:05.540
I believe we need certain guardrails on it, and we're seeing what happened.
00:06:09.040
And I think having the sensing technologies out there to make sure that you're not plagiarizing or you're not cheating on an exam or that those photos that you created of your political opponent are fake, I think that there's an underlying point that the pope is making that everybody else is making like about deep fakes.
00:06:29.120
Like, if we think we have enemies now, Pat, just wait another year for things to advance.
00:06:33.600
You and me are going to be shown in pictures dating back to the 80s, saying terrible things, doing terrible things.
00:06:39.120
And on that day, it'll be very important that the opposite technologies are out there to ensure that we can say, wait a minute, wait a minute, that's fake.
00:06:46.560
And I think the Pope is making good points about that stuff.
00:06:51.300
Jeff, by the way, before I come to you, I'm going to come to you, Rob.
00:06:56.540
One is the tweet by David Sachs, which I shared.
00:07:00.340
He says, how are job postings for software engineers rising rapidly despite agents' automated coding?
00:07:07.020
Because there's far more code to manage than ever before.
00:07:10.740
We're already seeing a 14x year-over-year increasing GitHub comments, and it's accelerating.
00:07:16.400
Click on that link, Rob, to make that image bigger.
00:07:22.260
The baby blue, the light blue is Indeed job posting software engineers.
00:07:32.320
So you notice the number of jobs specifically for software engineers is skyrocketing back up.
00:07:39.840
It went down March 25, May 25, and then all of a sudden it's like, no, we need these guys.
00:07:47.880
It's like when they start, hey, GLP-1s, you know, three-year research shows it's so good for you.
00:07:56.300
There was a book that came out about steroids 40, 50 years ago.
00:07:59.480
It was called The Steroids Bible, and they had edition one, two, three, four.
00:08:04.560
Well, you need decades and decades of research to be able to see, so we don't know yet.
00:08:08.460
But this highlights that it's not as bad as people think it is.
00:08:13.740
Having said that, Rob, go to the clip about David Sachs, what he said would have happened if Kamala Harris was in with data centers and AI.
00:08:21.820
AI, I think we're really lucky that he's the president who's in the White House when this AI revolution is happening.
00:08:27.800
I mean, due in old history, Sachs, what would happen if Kamala Ding Dong was in right now and we'd have like no data centers?
00:08:34.360
We'd have no data centers and they'd be using AI to censor us and they'd be promoting DEI values through AI that was in the Biden executive order.
00:08:41.900
president trump just wants the country to win and be successful and he doesn't have these like
00:08:47.780
doomer neuroses about it that's not to say we don't support any regulation at all but we should
00:08:54.420
have specific solutions for specific problems as opposed to being cowering in fear over this and
00:09:00.420
just trying to call to all progress so that's the complete opposite so there is a very big
00:09:05.220
there's a big argument right now between two sides on what could happen jeff what are your
00:09:09.180
thoughts on this? I don't necessarily think there's two sides to it. I think there's a ton
00:09:12.520
of nuance here. On the economic part of it, I mean, what Tom showed exactly, you pointed out
00:09:17.220
with the internet. The internet, people were worried about the internet. I mean, people have
00:09:20.540
been talking about robot takeover since the Civil War. Every new technological wave that we go
00:09:26.040
through unleashes a period of almost mass hysteria. And it's understandable because the world
00:09:30.960
completely changes. However, on the economic side of it, what you're seeing with the programmers
00:09:35.800
is exactly what we should expect from AI and the economic side.
00:09:40.360
The more productive people and businesses become,
00:09:43.280
the more activity we have, the more economic growth we have.
00:09:47.800
Now, I'll go on the complete opposite side, the politics side of it.
00:09:51.140
You know, we've got a bunch of autonomous robots running around.
00:09:53.520
How easy would it be to arm one and then have complete plausible deniability
00:09:59.320
There's definitely some guardrails, as Tom said, that needs to be put up here.
00:10:04.580
how do you regulate that how do we get together and say we're going to we're going to make sure
00:10:09.960
that ai can never be armed i'm sorry you can't do that it's just impractical um so there's a there's
00:10:15.540
a whole ton of nuance here it's not one side what is that and who defines that yeah exactly and then
00:10:21.020
right and once you once you oh we're gonna hate speech and all of a sudden right we're what new
00:10:25.700
president oh yeah we're gonna set up we're gonna set up a government board opinion anymore that's
00:10:30.120
hate speech we're going to set up a government board that decides what qualifies as bad ai and
00:10:35.060
then that government board is going to be taken over by various different factions through time
00:10:38.540
and the definitions are always going to change so i mean there is a number of issues that need
00:10:42.880
to be worked out but they're going to be solved not by from the not from the top down but from
00:10:46.500
the bottom up i i i agree with both like i couldn't agree more with david sacks david sacks
00:10:52.220
like the thing is can you imagine a scenario where this this technology is emerging it was
00:11:27.060
but we should have some basic laws and understanding that we should agree on.
00:11:34.920
This is one way to describe it to the average person so they don't panic.
00:11:39.080
If you live in the state of Florida, what percentage of people in Florida, Rob, carry, okay, have a license to carry?
00:11:47.020
What percentage of people in Florida have a license?
00:11:48.920
Matter of fact, type in the top five biggest states with license to carry.
00:11:52.140
Well, right now in Florida, you don't need a license to carry.
00:11:57.180
Top five states, Florida, the clear leader with 2.5 million active residents, concealed weapon license,
00:12:03.100
permits are valid for seven years, and offer broad reciprocity.
00:12:11.280
And then you get Alabama, which, by the way, we're in this state with the most people licensed to carry.
00:12:15.840
How often do you go to restaurants and you panic?
00:12:20.060
Do you know what are the chances of a person at a restaurant carrying a gun with them?
00:12:37.360
How come we're not that worried about the guns that people are carrying in certain states?
00:12:45.580
But the difference is I'm the one that's deciding what to do with this gun, right?
00:12:51.640
The conversation you just brought up with the point that if Jeff gives me the
00:12:58.300
so imagine Jeff comes to the podcast here with 20 robots around him, right?
00:13:03.680
And one of the robots all of a sudden has a glitch,
00:13:06.540
and he whispers something to the robot, and the robot's going around
00:13:19.800
You're the one that's getting it to think this way.
00:13:24.900
So it's going to be very interesting when we go in that direction because it's like the conversation and the debate that we have that if a young kid does something, the parents should be held liable.
00:13:36.560
You know that debate that some states, I don't know which one it was, where one of the kids went and killed three different kids, and then his parents were going to jail.
00:13:47.980
This transition period is going to be messy because we're going to have to adopt new customs, new laws, new forms of responsibility.
00:13:55.460
Because, you know, my robot comes in and starts wrecking the place.
00:14:01.240
I'm telling you right now, in advance, just be ready for it.
00:14:03.280
If you go back to guns, like, you're personally liable for anything that comes out of your gun.
00:14:13.680
You know, like, if you're a felon, you can't carry one.
00:14:16.020
So I think we're going to get to the same level of regulation eventually,
00:14:21.420
When the left gets in, the regulation you're going to see with them.
00:14:25.040
So the reason why all these guys are playing offense the way they are right now
00:14:28.760
because they've got a two-and-a-half-year run rate to create a ton of wealth,
00:14:32.120
you better believe if a Newsom or an AOC gets in,
00:14:36.340
watch what happens with the stock market November 7th or 6th
00:14:41.780
The sell-off that will happen once they find out if one of those guys got elected
00:14:45.120
because of possibilities of regulation changing.
00:14:48.120
Folks, if you're running a business and you're hiring people,
00:14:52.760
there is nothing more annoying than when you hire people
00:14:58.260
And often it ends up costing you a ton of money.
00:15:03.200
So the average bad hire a small business owner makes
00:15:14.960
They've already infected the negativity on them
00:15:19.740
And many times you knew this was not a good fit
00:15:27.860
You didn't have a system on what questions to ask
00:15:31.420
So one of the best things we're going to do this year at the Vol Conference
00:15:36.220
We're going to bring a few of our employees up there
00:15:41.420
on how we score people on five different metrics
00:15:44.040
and why this has helped our company's retention go higher
00:15:51.080
And this will only happen at the Vault Conference
00:15:57.280
will be attending the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas
00:16:06.920

00:16:20.660
Speaker, Stephen Bartlett from the Diary of the CEO.
00:16:23.480
Logan Paul will be there to talk about how to create a brand.
00:16:26.840
Then we'll have Joe Montana and Jerry Rice simultaneously interview
00:16:31.440
When you get a running mate, what happens to you.
00:16:32.920
