SYNTHETIC SOCIOPATHS

Here we go! Here we go! The world is getting crazier. People are acting more and more insane.

The end of the world is tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow. The only one thing to do when the world is feeling hard is to battle and go on to discuss this and discuss this week's events through the lens of Bible prophecy.

You are listening to the No Cry News Tour. Your listening to the No Cry News Talk today is February 15th, 2021, and this is Episode 300! Woo! We did it everybody!

And today, synthetic sociopaths. And I'm not a synthetic sociopath, but I am your best buddy Basil. Oh, that's good. I'm glad you're not.

Welcome to the podcast. Oh, this is Gone's by the Way. Welcome to the podcast where we praise Jesus while reporting the egregious with a well-rounded bibliothic-rounded take on world events. And we made it 300.

We did it. We did it. And we're from Morrie. Oh, yeah.

I like the movie. I like the movie. I'm going to do a big kick into a big hole. Yeah, well, that's the only part that really I wanted to quote from the movie.

Otherwise, it's like we would die in Hades and all these really not-so-good lines. Right. You know, 300. That's the quote?

What? Yeah, yes. Prepare for glory. That's the quote.

Oh, got it. Oh, I, the other quotes are really, you know, again, dying Hades. What else is there? Like, like, take your prisoners, whatever it is.

Yeah, you know, it's a little bit different of a vibe than we usually give off in this show. Yeah. But that's okay. We're happy to do it.

And thank you for all the congratulations from the fans out there. It is surprising for as long as we've been podcasting for this to be the first time we've hit 300 episodes of something. I don't know. You know, you just see episodes.

You see podcasts out there. They're in the like 1500 range. Yeah. I guess that's specifically Joe Rogan.

But you know, there's, it's not uncommon for a podcast to have over a thousand episodes by now. But you know what? We're, I think we're doing it faster than most. We're catching up all the time that we've spent.

And that's just with Canary Cry News Talk. I believe there are over a thousand videos on the Facelight that's on YouTube channel. And between Canary Cry Radio, Canary Cry News Talk, we're in the upper hundreds. Yeah.

With Joy-Spier Sea Theory. Yeah, with a certain, certainly put out plenty of content over the years. But anyways, we're happy to be here and thank you all for supporting us. And congratulations to the producers.

If you're a producer of the show, you know, there you go. You're producing a show that has 300 episodes. So congrats. Yeah.

You got some swagger ink later too, which is fantastic. That's right. Well, yes. Yes.

As a reminder, if there was anybody else, you know, you got about an hour until we get to thinking our producers, we had a couple of squires coming, come in, which was very exciting. And if you missed, if you thought you missed your chance, you still have about an hour to do so. But as a quick reminder, before we get into the show here, I just want to remind everybody to like, subscribe, and turn on notifications. Subscribe, but the bell, the bell, the bell, the bell, the bell.

That's right. That way we can harness the power of the algorithms to take over the world. And a quick reminder for those who have not entered the Canary Cry Silver Giveaway for this month, you've got a couple of weeks left. But if you make a social media post with a call to action, the hashtag Canary Crying News Talk and a link to an episode, you get entered into the Canary Cry Silver Giveaway Drawing.

And every post you do those three things will get you an entry into the drawing. And at this point, I'm very happy people have been responding to the call, but still, as far as statistics go, if you wanted to get in on that and win a free one-troy ounce of fine silver from producer Aaron Moffat, your stats are still pretty good. You got a pretty good chance of winning still compared to other drawings of a similar kind. So get out there and do those social posts, everybody.

Okay, Gonzi, you ready for the Flippy Update? Let's do it. Flippy Update. Do your wrong prize, right?

That's right. Okay, quick Flippy Update today, folks. And if you're new to the show, let me learn you something Flippy. Is the colloquial name for the disembodied robot arms that are taking our jobs and slaving our children and flirting with our spouses?

We've used talking about Flippy as a way to discuss how the robots are taking over the world and there's nothing we can do about it. Today, Gonzi, it's just a really fast one. There's been a video floating around, the Twitters and the social medias, that's really starting to wake a lot of people up. I think this video in particular freaked out more people than maybe any other, you know, viral robot video.

This was, I'm taking from a tweet here from, who is this, Luca Fury. Yeah, he's 31 years old, apparently 6'9". He's a neveline. Oh, good.

And the tweet says, the win, which is the WYNN, which is a casino, has some bizarre robotic dancing dogs roaming around the halls these days. And for those who are watching live, you get to see this video, if you're just listening, basically what it is, it's a spot robot from Boston Dynamics, but it's painted gold instead of the regular yellow. Swearing a big gold puffy jacket has a bouncy pom pom tail, like a poodle tail. The screen on the front of the robot has a dog's face, and it's basically, they made it look like a Las Vegas style, I don't know, golden hip hop dog, and it's walking around this casino, and it does this little dance, and it's surrounded by people.

And it's, the movements are eerily, I'm not going to say they're perfect for how an excited dog would act, but it is definitely the most impressive dog-like movements. That we've seen from spot or similar robotic dogs. And the interesting thing about this, there's a lot of, I mean, you look at the threads beneath this video, it's really, people are more freaked out about this robotic hip hop dog dancing in a casino than I think any other video of robots we've seen recently. So it's waking a lot of people up, and that's good.

And it's especially disturbing people that it's acting like a real dog. We've got some real dog lovers who are starting to join the battle against the robot rebellion. There's a lot of violent responses to describe this. Yeah, it's really triggering people to want to act violently lash out against this robot dog.

So there you go, there's not much more to say about it. Except for, it's been pointed out by some people in the thread, but we all know this here. This is not just a cute little tourist attraction to try to make a fun robot experience for the people at the casino, but indeed you can guarantee that these dogs are equipped with all sort of security measures, if not just video and probably facial scanning for making sure people are wearing masks, compliance control, things like that. So there you go.

We're dressing up. It's got this funny kind of twinge to it because yes, this robot dog is our overlord and is going to snitch on you if you're not wearing a mask or standing six feet away. But at least it's cute and can do a little dance just how we like it. I don't find it that cute.

The backward bending knees is always just a creepy look regardless of it. But that's dogs knees. Dogs knees bend backwards in the back. Yeah, it doesn't look creepy.

Okay. Yes, it is creepy, especially if you are aware of our impending robot apocalypse. And coming from the wind hotel in Casino, of course, not a surprise that it starts in Vegas, but Steve when he's a billionaire, or she took over the mirage on the strip and the Bellagio and in 2018 he actually resigned as the chairman of the wind resort and as the financial chairman of the Republican National Committee over allegations of sexual misconduct. I don't know if you remember.

But yeah, he got up, and now they're like, well, you want to keep your life? Enter Golden Spot Dog. Pop Dog, yeah. Or else.

Yeah, there you go. Well, that's all I got for the Flippy Update. Just a quick one. But it was the robot video sweeping the nation.

Yeah, you know, it's interesting how the general population starts catching up to stuff we've been talking about for years. It seems to be a theme and the curve. And you know, this is a story that I presented to you to present as a Flippy update and you know, you didn't run with it, but just fine, no big deal. The Business Journal for Esno's first robot restaurant opened Saturday, which was a couple days ago.

And you know, there's nothing new in terms of flipping burger kind of robot machine restaurant. This one happens to be a Chinese restaurant for Chinese food. So they're very, the guy who made it is keeping a lot of his cards close to his chest. He's not really revealing too much with it.

But I thought it was interesting that they're pushing the whole idea of fast food and Chinese food in general. And I thought maybe, you know, when I see two stories and they could connect in some way, some kind of weird, deep, like spiritual, we wrestle not against flesh and blood kind of way, I'm just going to run with it and throw it out there. This is not, you know, there's no hard connections here. But I saw the story about the Chinese restaurant, you know, opening a robot Chinese restaurant opening.

And then I saw this story that was reported by Zero Hedge and other outlets, elderly Asians targeted in spade of vicious Bay Area attacks. Now, of course, Fresno and the Bay Area are I think three hours apart or something. So it's not, you know, they're not like right next to each other. But considering the fact that a bunch of old Asian people in San Francisco are being targeted and attacked and, you know, there's like a one person I hit by a flare gun in the head and what?

They're pretty intense. They're going after him. That's crazy. Why is this?

What is this connected to? I'm not sure the mainstream media is picking it up as all Trump, the Trump regime created racism. And so, but, you know, of course, a lot of the people, the one person they got in jail or, you know, arrested or whatever, 20 year old man, Yaha Muslim charged with assault, 91 years American, he's a black guy, you know, so, yeah, of course, they're trying to blame the, you know, they try to blame the Trump thing, but then they're like, yeah, well, it's this thing. See, that's the tricky part about it, guns.

It's not just the, you know, good old boy white Christian Americans who you got to watch out for. The real deviousness is the white nationalist black Muslims that are also, you know, trying to propagate the white nationalist, you know, world view. Yeah, well, either way, I thought maybe, you know, the old Asian people are getting scared and so they're like, Hey, we're release release or robot restaurant. Well, it is interesting too, the connection between, you know, this specifically for the robot restaurant in America, you know, we've seen this has happened quite a bit now, but mainly in Asia, there's been some smatterings of robot restaurants in the US, but in this case, yeah, with the pandemic responses and the mom and pop shops going out of business and things like that, you know, in the past, we've seen flippy or automation come to chain restaurants for the most part, but this is an interesting case where this guy is starting a restaurant, basically a mom and pop Chinese restaurant, but equipping that with robotics, which is an interesting step towards food preparation automation being available, not just a huge corporate food conglomerates, but to mom and pop shops.

This could be an interesting answer to the small business crisis that's been created because of the response to the coronavirus pandemic. Yeah. So just thought I'd throw that in there as sort of a quasi flippy update. I know that's your thing, but yeah, it doesn't make you my turf, man.

I know. I'm sorry. Okay. I welcome all sorts of, right.

You know, I just love, well, I've got a complicated relationship with flippy and I love to share that with my friends and family. Yeah. Okay. Moving on.

I'm going to do politics update. Let's do it. It's not for many. No, suck.

Your blood. That's right. We will launch a new age. This is coming from msn.com.

It's a CNN mirrored article. So it's a CNN article and just for an update in case you live under a rock, the headline is Republicans acquitted Trump again, but this time is different. Oh, buckle up, folks. Buckle up because this time it's different.

The former president Donald Trump's second acquittal by the US Senate proved the enduring power he holds over the Republican party with the results Saturday, stating the dangerous precedent that even an autocratic leader who violates his oath of office can escape punishments if he bullies enough senators into standing by him. Again, there's this sort of obsession that the mainstream media has. They can't decide whether to label Trump as a useless buffoonish child man with no power or an evil genius. They go back and forth on this.

But in this case, we're going with the evil genius thing. His win came after a feeble defense by his lawyers that amounted to little more than gas lighting and a presentation of falsehoods. Are we going to say anything about that? I mean, most people at this point realize that.

Yeah. So this was a great one because the day that it happened, the now correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Senate is pretty much split right down the middle for Democrats and Republicans and I think they needed two thirds of a majority to actually convict him of this. So they needed I believe it's 17. I think the Democrats have majority though.

Well, that's what I'm wondering. I've seen different stats. Can you look that up real quick to see what the actual numbers are? So anyways, the second that he got acquitted an article came out by the Atlantic that was all about how bad Trump's lawyers were.

And it's hilarious because it's like Trump's lawyers are so bad that they won the case and they only won because they're so bad at lawyering. Isn't that horrible? It's like, okay, I mean, I get you don't like them and you kind of have a narrative that you're sort of forced to pull and we all understand that. But making the case that Trump's lawyers are so bad that they won the case is again, this crazy double speak mind control that we're just used to now.

Okay, so here's the deal. So it's actually a 50 50 tie in the Senate. That's what I thought. But with a 50 50 tie in the Senate, the Constitution gives tie breaking power to the vice president, therefore making it Democrat majority.

Got it. Okay. So yes, they have that got it got it got it. No, interesting.

That's I'm glad we cleared that up. So and of course, if you listen to some of the clips and interviews going around, I mean, it's known that the Democrats had doctored some evidence. They were the ones called out on it and gaslighting. Yeah, and they were panicking so much that they surprisingly in a surprise move, wanted to call witnesses, which was generally considered a bad idea.

And yeah, yeah, yeah, but let's keep going here. And it showed the fundamental power imbalance that is part of Trump's legacy in Washington. For four years, he abused the office of presidency with impunity and made the founders insistence on co equal branches of government look like a farce. Now, there's a little bit of a when we first read this article guns before the show.

We read it once and do you want to bring up a screenshot of it? Yeah, I got a screenshot here where it says for four years, he abused the office of the presidency without impunity and made the founders instance on co equal branches of government look like a farce. And you know, that was interesting because of course impunity means to being accepted from punishment receiving no punishment. And so the article originally read he abused the office of the presidency without impunity, which is a double negative meaning that he was punished.

And we thought, Oh, what an interesting thing for CNN to say that Trump was punished for abusing the office that seemed a little out of, you know, out of character for them. And of course, three minutes later, they changed the article. They apparently they posted before having any editors read it. But so they fixed it and it says here, he abused the office of the presidency with impunity and made the founders insistence on co equal branches of government look like a farce.

Again, no examples here, just sort of the general ramblings of the orange man bad, but Trump will also go down in history as a disgraced figure who escaped conviction on a technicality after a trial that undeniably proved that he endangered his own vice president, lawmakers in both parties and scores of police officers as he sought to overturn the election result. Okay, so escaping this conviction on the technicality. What do you think the technicality was? The facts.

No, the technicality was they didn't convict him. They did the vote did not go the way Democrats wanted it to go. So, you know, that that old technicality where, you know, they actually have to vote on convicting him. It wasn't for that pesky little technicality where the votes didn't go the right way.

Oh, all of our tax dollars to this nonsense here. It really makes me upset. But go on. That's what's more upsetting about this than anything else is just taxpayer money.

I mean, I posted a tweet the other day how, you know, the US federal government is $28 trillion in debt, but they're also like, oh, yeah, that's it. But they're also like pay your taxes. And of course, the reason why we're so much dead is because we spend money on this kind of bread and circus nonsense. Well, I don't know if you want to keep reading this.

I think we get the point, but not too much. I mean, it's just more sort of erroneous, a poor man, bad speech. Yeah. Did you see what Jill Biden did to the lawn at the White House?

Wasn't it spectacular with the hearts and the? Oh, I did not see it. What did she do? Oh, no, it was, uh, let me pull it up now because now that we're talking about it for Valentine's day, I hope everybody had a great Valentine weekend.

But yeah, it was a, it was a, you know, main story. Here it is. Oh, I forgot that I'm using two different browsers. I can't just move tabs.

I have to switch a roof. Let's take a look at this. The first lady's Valentine day message to the nation popping up on the White House front lawn. Okay.

Yeah. Do that. Hopefully it doesn't auto play again with Michael Strahan there. Yeah.

So here it is. First lady with Jolks. I see volcanoes. Yeah.

So, yeah, I mean, it's just hearts unity, kindness, healing, compassion, love, courage. Oh, so she just put paper cut out hearts all over the lawns. Yeah. And, uh, and there's video of the president and the first lady walking around and.

No, I did not see any of this. Okay. It's like a 10 minute video of them walking around and it's kind of like, what are you doing? What are you guys doing?

It looks like an old folks home and, and there's just talking Joe's telling a story about something or other, you know, it's just like, what, what is going on? So anyway, yeah. Okay. Well, at least she didn't dig up the rose garden and offend all the rose lovers in this country.

Yeah. But also the, you know, the, all the stories about all the dog, the White House dog. We all love. Oh, yes.

Who pours the kibble? It's these nice little puff pieces that we've been, uh, that we're getting used to now. Yeah. So anyway, this, it was just a, I don't know, whole thing.

It's almost like now that he's in, you know, the China, the China's, why is like, oh, Joe, why don't you go walk the lawn while we take over the country a little bit more? Anyway, go ahead. I'm reading more of this, or no, I don't think so. It's just more nonsense, uh, orange man, bad nonsense, acalities going on over there at CNN, but the point being that with the technicality, uh, that the votes, you know, acquitted him, uh, he has not been convicted of his impeachment, which I would say I'm pretty sure we said back when this was first coming up that he would not be convicted.

There's no possible way. There was a moment there where I thought it might happen, uh, when Republicans started flipping, uh, left and right, uh, but it did not happen. So there you go. 2024.

Watch out. You know, the resurrection of Trump, orange man, the new age man back. No, he's back. Uh, all right.

He should, you know, that would be hilarious if he changes the Republican party to orange instead of red. He just goes, he just goes without his new party as patriot. Oh, right. Right.

What color is that going to be? I'm sure it'll be orange white. It'll be, it'll be red, white and blue or something. Like, purity.

Oh, go. You got him. All right. Uh, there's some, uh, crazy stuff going on apart from politics and, uh, Trump speaking of the politics.

So, uh, this first one here, uh, this is from CyTechDaily.com unleashing the potential of the mind controlling digital interfaces such as phones through brain signals. You know, we have something that, uh, would surprise any of us, but, uh, the technology is basically here. This is, uh, the story, Pison founded by Dexter Ang, MIT 05, enables people to control digital interfaces such as their phones through brain signals. Dexter Ang, 05 AF 16 had been working as a high frequency trader before he learned his mother had ALS over the next year.

He watched her slowly lose the ability to walk, feed herself and even click a mouse to read an ebook, one of her favorite activities. The progression was painful to watch, but, uh, what Ang couldn't accept was that his mother's physical condition could so negatively affect her interactions with the digital world. Quote, I didn't think there needed to be that connection between physical capability and digital capability. Ang recalls the idea of set Ang on a mission that would change his life.

Ten years after graduating from MIT with a mechanical engineering degree, he returned to the institute to immerse himself in its works around the wearable technology, uh, securing a co-founder in a business strategy along the way. Today, Ang is the CEO of Pison Technology, a startup that uses neuromuscular sensors to help people interact with digital interfaces. Pison's sensor sits on users' wrists like a watch to capture tiny movements of muscles and tendons as well as electrical signals from the brain. Pison software processes those signals and controls that the device they're being sent to, helping users do things like interact with apps on smartphones, manipulate objects and augmented reality and communicate with robots and machines.

Hundreds of people have used Pison's technology through partnerships and multinational corporations, including Microsoft, Samsung, Mitsubishi and Google, helping people with disabilities, remains a focus for the company. And Pison is also working with medical organizations and nonprofits like the ALS Association. Quote, the implications of connecting the human body with digital systems and artificial intelligence are unimaginable. Ang said, we're in the very early innings, maybe the first inning of what neural interfaces are going to be and how they're going to transform everything in the world.

And everything. Everything. And if you're watching the video, there's a video here. I'm not going to play the audio, but there's a couple of people.

They got their wrist device on there. And there's somebody with an injury across the lake or something. And he's doing some little hand motions and a couple of drones pop up off of the spot and they move across the lake and they detect where that injured person is. And then now they're directing the robot dog that's carrying some stuff to help assist this man who was injured and with hand motions.

Yeah. Yeah. So it's kind of one of these things where it's cool. It looks cool.

Actually, I mean, this video seems kind of cool. I like it. Maybe getting a spot and having three deployable drones off his back is fun enough. But they're using this, what is it?

It's like a smartwatch, basically, to interact with technology that is right there within their fingers range. Well, no, he's got like a GPS tablet and instead of touching the tablet and, you know, operating it that way, his finger is about a foot away from the tablet and just doing stuff on the tablet from a foot away. I don't understand what the point of this is. Well, when you're eating Cheetos and you're out there, you don't want to get the Cheetos from it.

I think that's it. I think you figured it out. It's for when you've got Doritos dust on your fingers and you don't want to smudge your iPad. Okay.

So anyway, the technology here, first commercial rollouts coming at the end of the year will be a touchless control system for phones, which will allow users and the Air Force to do things like interact with maps and acknowledge communications. Soon after that, deployment, Pison hopes to begin helping workers and factory floors improve productivity and reduce risk. You know, on Musk, Nirlink mentioned the other thing that's interesting too, Ang, the name Ang, Ang, do you know any TV shows or cartoons with the character? Yeah, the last airbender.

That's right. Yeah, controlling all of nature. Well, that was kind of interesting too, you know, we're talking about quote unquote coincidences with this stuff. Wow.

So you can be an airbender just like Ang. Yeah, there you go. You got a little blue arrow on your forehead, glow, glowy eyes when you get mad and yeah. You know, I loved that.

I don't know if it technically counts as an anime, but because the U.S. version that you would watch on what was it? Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon? One of those things.

It's actually a U.S. made show. They just got a lot of those ones from anime. So yeah, it was anime style U.S.

show. But what was I going to say? Oh, I love the show as a kid. It's a huge fan.

Good show. I tried watching it again recently. It's definitely a show for children going back and trying to rewatch it. It's just for you got to be a little younger, I think, to appreciate it.

But OK, sounds good. There you go. Touchless control tech coming. So this is close to coming to market.

This sounds like it was almost available. End of the year. They said end of the year they have commercial products for people and I think the military, I believe, is what it said. Air Force.

Yeah. So. All right. Well, let's talk a little bit about AI.

Artificial intelligence. Let's do it. I'm going to come from Forbes.com here. The headline is, Will Artificial Intelligence produce synthetic sociopaths?

Well, will it? Gone? You tell me. Some days soon computers may convincingly mimic human empathy.

Will this lead to ethical artificial intelligence or synthetic sociopathy? Technologists and ethicists have started to explore the form and meaning of a Turing test for ethical AI. The original imitation game, Cannes Machines Think. 20th century British mathematician and cryptologist Alan Turing proposed a test for whether machines could think or at least exhibit intelligence, initially called the imitation game with Benedict Cumberbatch.

Did you see that movie? No, but I know about it. Yeah. Pretty good movie.

Initially called the imitation game, one version of the test imagines that a human evaluator communicates in writing with a human participant and a computer designed to emulate human language and responses. In Turing's view, if the evaluator could not distinguish between the human and the computer, the computer might be said to think or at least possess intelligence. Encouraged by the power and possibility of natural language programs and self-learning algorithms, technologists and ethicists have begun exploring whether machines might pass an ethical imitation game where they can convincingly imitate the empathy necessary for ethical deliberation and decision making. It is an axiom of systems analysis that the meaning of a system lies outside the system.

Computer programs as systems remain bounded by their algorithms. They can describe what they do, but they cannot explain it. People can consider why they do what they do, which is the crux of ethical and moral decision making. Such programs also cannot innovate, where innovate means to step outside of their algorithmic boundaries, show a self-learning program, all Picasso-blue period paintings, and the program might render a reasonable facsimile of a Picasso-blue period painting.

But the program will never produce cubism. Wow, a lot of esoteric references going on here. Before attempting a program that simulates empathy, think about a person who lacks it. We call such person a sociopath.

She or she can fake empathy, but only to serve his or her ends. Analogously, programs written to simulate empathy successfully will represent artificial sociopaths, faking empathy to further the ends of their programmers. Any form of deception violates deontological ethics. Man, they are really piling it on.

Does such deception sound like progress? Algorithms run or guide much of our lives. For the sake of efficiency, we have removed the human element from much of commerce. Algorithms decide what advertisements we see online.

They decide in the first instance or access to credit. They determine how, when and on what terms we can transact, often adjusting pricing in light of our past purchasing behavior. I like how they just sneak this little paragraph in there. Now, of course, Canary Cry listeners are aware of this, but this is just a little paragraph to really show what kind of AI dystopia we're already living in.

Everybody wants to watch that. Yes, and connected to the advertising industry, of course. No more about that later. In the physical world, they direct our movements via automated traffic systems to an increasing degree, the algorithms that drive national defense systems may decide peace or war.

We cannot escape the ever-growing sophistication and reach of computerized systems, but might will never make right. Ethical AI does not represent a challenge for technologists so much as a dilemma for ethicists. Machines will do what they are told. Self-learning machines may find ways to do what they are told better than our human programmers could tell them.

However, such machines will never comprehend why they do what they do. The why must come from the programmers or those who direct them. This places extraordinary power in such people's hands. Individuals pursuing ethical AI might therefore want to ask themselves not what they seek nor how they might attain it, but why they want programs to simulate empathy.

And they should ask themselves this not just in light of logic, but in light of human experience. And then the article is ended with hashtag right way to win, hashtag AI, hashtag artificial intelligence. What is the world coming to? We have the hashtag news articles.

So please, yeah, making a point and a distinction. Yeah, that's exactly right. A point and a distinction between robots that will show empathy to other humans and the fact that they could never feel empathy and much like a sociopath, a human sociopath who is able to fake empathy and they usually do that specifically to, you know, gain something or to manipulate people. This seems to be exactly what will be happening with empathetic machines.

Of course, as we've seen the automation in human experience, we've also followed the human robot relationship, all these types of things. And you know, when you have robots working in the hospitality sector, of course, if you've got an angry customer, the robot must at least express empathy in order to get anywhere with an angry human being. But the fact that it will never actually feel empathy or this is not some sort, there's no why behind this empathetic sort of external expression from a robot. So well, you know, sums it up.

All these robots are sociopaths or psychopaths. Yeah, the mention of deontological ethics is concerned with what people do, not with the consequences of their actions. It's duty based ethics, basically. So yeah, this is, I think, obviously, the points made in this article are succinct and they make sense that, hey, these artificial intelligences are only going to be mimicking what empathy and sympathy, all these things are.

And most of it comes from human direction. But here's what I'll say is that what we're experiencing now with culture, with, because I think more and more people in general that grow up in, that have grown up in the internet age and the internet era and the algorithmic thing, they are acting more and more sociopathic. And I'm guessing that's got something to do with all this AI and all this, you know, algorithmic stuff in applications and commerce and everything else. No, the algorithms are raising your children.

Exactly. And so I think that's why we're seeing all this craziness, cancel culture, all that stuff comes from a younger generation that grew up, you know, not getting their ethics from parents, per se, but more so deriving it from their applications, their apps or YouTube algos or Facebook algos or whatever. And this is something as parents we need to be aware of because obviously you want to raise your kids with instilling biblical ethics, not so much, you know, Twitter or like a Tik Tok. Algorythmic ethics.

Right. But I really do think that's the reason why we have this cancel culture thing going insane and people thinking that we're younger people coming out of college and stuff, taking and going into institutions like the New York Times or whatever, just, you know, news outlets media and are dictating how they ought to, because in their mind they're changing culture for the matter. And it's based on a faulty premise. It is a very sociopathic way of thinking, almost psychopathic in a way.

And I really do think that that has to do with this artificial intelligence already impacting the way we think as a culture and society. So especially in the context of AI in government, AI in policy creation, even AI, I mean, obviously, the thing with advertising is it's not just advertising. It's not some silly little side thing that you can ignore advertising and the machine learning and algorithms behind it literally dictate your almost your entire experience online, you know, and offline a lot of times, but definitely online. You know, there's, there's, I'm always surprised that there's still people who think that when they go online, they're having a real sort of experience or they're, they're unaware that not just when you go on Facebook, but almost everywhere you go online, there is some sort of manipulation by algorithms to change your experience in one way or another.

Usually that is towards, you know, trying to give you little nudges to eventually, you know, do your job as an effective economic unit and, you know, buy something or at least urge others to buy something. But you know, it's, it's this is a big part of your, a big part of our lives right now, and even more so in the future. But yeah, when you, when we come to a place where we're going to be wondering, does this robot really care about me? Does this AI politician who is in charge of my county or my state, does he really care or is he just programmed to look like he cares?

Yeah. And it creates an existential crisis too within people because if you're acting, if you have, if you show all the behavioral elements of a caring person, you still can't necessarily read what's going on in their heart. Yeah. Well, that's, that's where the psychopath thing comes in.

And especially in the context of AI and management, we've been following how artificial intelligence is being deployed in middle management, not just as a, you know, some sort of repetitive task doing machine, but actually in decision making roles over human beings. And I just want to touch on this little thing from BBC, computer says go taking orders from an AI boss, which, yeah, it's troubling. Given that last article, a headline like this should be very troubling. Yeah.

If you first thought upon reading that sentence was, quote, well, it would be an improvement on my current one. You wouldn't be alone. After all, an artificial intelligence software system might be better able to organize the staff rota rotation. Was that, are they trying to make rota a word?

Yeah, probably. Without messing up your holidays. Yeah. Maybe it's a UK thing.

Yeah, it's been a while since I've had a boss. I'm not sure what rota means, but, and getting some unbiased feedback from a line manager who can't be accused of having it in for you or of favoring other staff can make a pleasant change. However, for those of us who have seen the Terminator movies rather too often, the thought of a computer or robot bossing you around is also bound to raise fears that the machines are in danger of taking over. Get to the car.

Gagely Chappa. Yeah. This ignores the fact that we already spend a lot of time obeying machines and we don't even think about it, let alone worry. So there you go.

You get this nice little point. Don't worry. You've been obeying machines for a decade. Just let them be your boss.

I like how there's a picture here of Jeff Schwartz, where they're about to talk about in the article from Deloitte and just the biggest smile. Hey, guys, we all obey the machine. He's got a slight look of panic in his eyes though. I feel like there's a flippy arm holding a gun to his back.

You better smile. Yes. You show your human smile. Jeff Schwartz, a senior partner at a Countessie Group, deloitte and a global advisor on the future of work points to a simple everyday machine that we all obey.

Unthinkingly, quote, a traffic light used to be a job where there used to be a person who would stand there directing the cars. He says, well, yes. Yes. Those were the days, the 1890s.

Quote, but very clearly that is now a machine that is getting smarter. It was a long time ago. I don't know exactly. I know a long time ago.

One was the, you can look it up. One was the first man powered stoplight quote, but very clearly that is now a machine and it is getting smarter. They are now putting AI into traffic lights so they can best respond to traffic levels. So it seems we are perfectly willing to take orders from a machine in some clearly defined situations.

What has increasingly happened in recent years, however, is that more of us are already being ordered around by computers at work. And experts say that this is only set to increase. Take taxi firm Uber. There isn't a man or woman in the office giving out the jobs to drivers.

It is known automatically by the company's AI software system. Professor Thomas Kamuro Premusic, a business psychologist at University of College London, says that while Uber does this to make it service as efficient as possible, there are wider benefits. Quote, Uber, the app isn't biased in favor of someone, a customer or a driver, because they are good looking or went to the right school or they have the right accent or they dress well, he says. It is all about performance.

You can see how technology can make the world of work more meritocratic by focusing more on substance and less on style. Quote, companies that do that will outperform their rivals and be better places to work. So having a computer boss, having a computer boss you around is nothing to be worried about. Shivi Jurvus, founder of Business Consultancy FutureScape, 24, 248, and a forecaster of future working trends is far from convinced.

Okay, we got someone on our side. Quote, the big caveat here is we need ethical oversight of this. There's that ethics problem again. If you have AI being the boss, a piece of software with decision making ability, that for me is extremely worrying.

And I think it could lead to quite a dystopian future, a system that doesn't have adequate ethical oversight and actual human using their sense of judgment to be able to oversee what the system is deeming to be the supposed right conclusion is extremely damaging. And that is the true threat, the truth threat. Any info on those traffic lights? Yeah, traffic lights first came around installed in the UK in 1869.

Boo, yeah. I was talking about when the machines took over. So the machines I was talking about when the humans were taking over. I mean, they didn't take over.

They created it. And then it was a 1960s when the first mechanically driven traffic lights were programmed traffic lights started to show up. And by the late 1960s, when a human traffic light operator could afford the American dream and then the late 1970s or by the late 1970s, it was a, it was pretty much commonplace to have automated traffic lights around. There you go.

There you go, folks. Don't say you never learned something on Canary Grand News Talk facts. The article continues in the retail sector, Amazon increasingly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we already know that.

Let me get down to a, however, one provider call minor tells that, tells the BBC that because its entire call center monitoring system can analyze 100% of interactions, human supervisors can use that into that information to be better managers and staff can be guided to perform better over time and deliver more effective outcomes for customers. As AI is increasingly used to monitor staff, a big problem could be whether it gets the final say on which of a firm's workers get to go, get, let go in a downturn says, Mr. Service quote, a human might actually favor the person who is a single parent with two children, depending on his or her monthly income, she says, or think this other person is well connected and will land on their feet. Quote software, even if it is asked these questions cannot hope to understand the answers in that way.

And the article continues, but basically laying, laying exactly that out these, these ethical concerns of these synthetic psychopaths who are increasingly becoming in charge of human beings in the workplace. And as the future, this is what I'm looking for, they're trying to create a utopia of artificial intelligent leadership. And of course, we all know where this is going to end a dystopia. Yeah, you got it.

Yeah. So there's a, there's a quote here from Edward Bernays, he's sort of the founding father of propaganda pioneers of corporate PR and propaganda. He's got a famous quote here, those who manipulate the unseen mechanisms of society constitute an invisible government, which is the ruling power of our country. We are governed, our minds molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested largely by men.

And I would argue the algorithms there and we had, have never heard of in almost every act of our lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires and write the algorithms that control the public mind. Edward Bernays back in like the, what is it? What year was it?

It's like the 30s or something when he said this? Mm hmm. He's ahead of the game, man. So I think you did a great translation there, you know, he's talking about men pulling strings and now, I mean, it's similar to where there's still men writing code that you may not realize it.

You may not consciously think about it, but pretty much every part of our lives is in one way or another steered by the algorithms of these puppet masters, but you all know that already. Yeah, and the thing with technology advancing is that the puppeteer hasn't changed, but the puppet itself has just gotten more and more powerful and leverages a lot more influence into the minds of people and reach. And that's what technology and the internet and all that is done. I'll bet there's a positive side to it, I guess, a silver lining with people being able to connect for people like us to be able to share the gospel and stuff like that.

But I think the powers that be and the spiritual wickedness, the anti-crisis spirit is certainly thriving in this time as a, we wait for the return of Jesus, you know, a lot of the prophecies, I know we've talked about this before, but a lot of the prophecies makes a whole lot more sense in our generation, or just the technology around us just makes it so obvious, it seems. Right. So we have a update about quantum computers. Quantum computers.

Our new quantum computer, Jingle. Quantum computers. Beefed up, thanks to Mr. Magoo's little quantum things.

But this article is from Defense1.com, the headline, Army creates quantum sensor that detects entire radio frequency spectrum, a new sensor that can detect the entire radio spectrum could play a big role in the future of electromagnetic warfare and communications. In January, David Meyer, Paul Coons and Kevin Cox with the Army Research Lab published a new paper describing how they used atoms in a quantum state called the Rideberg State, or is it? Redberg? I think it's a Rideberg State, to detect electromagnetic emissions up to 20 gigahertz.

That includes the frequencies that carry Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other communication methods. In their experiment, a laser excites ribidium atoms in a vacuum chamber, forcing them into a Rideberg State. Quote, Rideberg States are highly sensitive to fluctuating electronic fields that make up the radio waves. So when radio waves are present, the quantum states themselves fluctuate.

Cox told Defense1 in an email. Quote, the device collects input radio waves into a microwave circuit board and uses a special technique to hone in the boost, hone in and boost the sensitivity to target regions of the radio frequency spectrum. End quote, a super sensitive radio sensor could better help protect communications equipment from jamming or other forms of electromagnetic interference or possibly help operators find devices using the radio spectrum to communicate. But the Army Research Lab sensor is still too big and power-hungry to be deployed, says Cox.

So more work is needed to shrink it and improve performance. Interesting. It's like too powerful. They're like, we got to rain it in a little bit before we release it there.

The sensor is an example of how quantum science can create new tools for the military. Perhaps the best known is quantum computing, which may one day permit vastly better communications code making and code breaking. In the near term, our applications being studied by the Army Research Lab, including sensing and atomic clocks for precise navigation and timing without GPS. Cox said these applications take advantage of a different aspect of quantum science that he calls identicalness.

Quote, quantum identicalness is the attribute that quantum particles are all fundamentally identical. This phenomenon enables quantum detectors and sensing devices like a Rideberg sensor, said Cox, the full frontier of quantum technology is still largely unexplored. We look forward to more paradigm shifting breakthroughs in the near future. Did you ever have the feeling that you were being watched?

And the takeaway from this, and I've often said this as part of the prophecy of the mark of the beast. You go to Revelation 13 and you read through it. There's a part at the end here about the mark and starting in verse 16. The second beast required all people, small and great rich and poor, free and slave to receive the mark on the right hand or the forehead so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, the name of the beast or the number of his name.

And this idea, if you apply that to common sense here and how that looks in the world as today, it means like, because I hear a lot of people, don't take the vaccine, don't take this, don't take that because it's the mark. Well, the idea here is that if you physically cannot buy or sell without the mark, which means, which implies that there is surveillance at a level that is literally every atom is being watched somehow. And that you can be completely off grid and you and I can try to barter off grid in a mountain somewhere and the beast system will be like, nope, you do not have the mark and you will be killed. And of course, the verses before speaks to the stories we had earlier about ethics and AI and machines and because there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of empathy from the beast image that it has breath, you know, this image, non, it's an, it's an, an object that has what appears to be life and it could judge you, it could kill you if you don't worship it sounds kind of sociopathic or psychopathic to me.

So, yeah, it's just a lot of prophetic overtones or undertones or both concerning the story. But yeah, the overall surveillance concept of the mark of the beast that you can't buy or sell unless you have the mark. Yeah, I don't think people recognize the total full spectrum surveillance dominance that is involved with something like this. And I feel like this type of technology, a quantum sensor that could detect entire radio frequency spectrums.

Yeah. Well, that's the interesting thing about that. I mean, those who for some of you might not quite understand the, the, I don't know, intensity of this sensor detecting all radio frequencies. Yeah, that's crazy.

That's not, you know, originally you think about like a, I don't know, a walkie talkie. Yeah. Meaning, you know, if you're talking to a walkie talkie to your, your apocalypse buddy and some other person has a walkie talkie and they turn it to the same channel, they can listen to you. But this, I mean, all radio frequencies is not just simultaneously listening to every channel of the radio at the same time, but it's listening to all cell phone signals, all radio, all wireless communications, all satellite bandwidth, all, I mean, every microwave, every cell tower, every, everything being detected by one sensor.

I mean, that really is the sort of crazy electromagnetic radio wave panopticon right there. And that's more than anything shows the potential for overarching surveillance that the quantum comp, harnessing quantum mechanics and applying it to the surveillance apparatus. I mean, that is full scale, almost, I'm saying almost like as close as a human organization can get to like Godlike surveillance abilities. Yeah, which is very much the Genesis three, you should be able to be as God's kind of thing.

But yeah, it's a, well, and with your neurolink, you know, that's how neurolink, you'll use neurolink to control your computer. It uses a radio frequency from the neural link chip to your iPhone. And now you're talking about, you know, turning your thoughts into radio frequencies that could be read by this quantum sensor. Yeah.

And so a lot of times you talk to preppers and they're like, Oh, we got to get our ham radios. You're not talked about it. You know, let's get our ham radios ready. In case something goes down, we can communicate and, you know, coordinate and whatnot.

Given this thing, it's like if you if it all goes down and you bust out the ham radio, they can pinpoint exactly where you are and what you're saying. Yeah. Well, they can already kind of do that. I don't know.

It just seems like there's no, oop, hit the microphone. There's no, there's no escape hatch except through Jesus Christ. It's really coming down for those new ages who are going to be doing remote viewing and astral projection to get away from the man, man. Yeah.

That's a good luck. Good luck with that. Okay. You know, we have not talked a whole lot about geoengineering recently.

Should we get some updates on that? Yeah. You know, I don't have a jingle for geoengineering or maybe with somebody has sent it, but it got off the mix. But I think if there's like a chemtrails jingle or something, we did.

I think we might have had a chemtrail one. Let me, uh, let me try to somebody sent a chemtrails somebody sent that in a long time ago. I'm trying to think or is that a, that might be a no gender. Oh, we're blending.

No, we're blending. Okay. Yeah, that is no agenda. But okay.

Well, how about this? Well, let's talk. Yeah, it will kill. There you go.

Well, it's been some crazy weather for folks across the country. Of course, Texas. Well, we got a lot of Texas listeners. I saw a bunch of photos and people telling us how, you know, the dark winter has come to Texas and there's this tweet by Austin Energy saying rotating outage updates at 5 40 a.m.

Due to the severity of weather conditions of weather plus conditions of the electric grid, rotating outages in our area are lasting longer than the expected duration to serve critical loads plus protect the overall reliability of the grid. Customers experiencing an air-cut directed outage will remain until conditions improve. Conservation is still needed by those who have power, especially as you're waking up this morning, lots of exclamation points. Customers are urged to keep electric use to only what is essential for heating and safety.

There you go. It continues. It's a sketchy situation over there in Austin. They can't handle it.

The situation continues to worsen across Texas and here in Austin, Austin Energy implemented required outages early Monday morning during doing our part to help stabilize the air-cut grid. The required outages are more extensive than anyone expected and do not allow. Okay, where's the last? Oh, no.

Where's the last allow us to bring affected customers back online at this time? We'll continue working with air-cut and working through our contingency plans to get power back onto customers as soon as the grid allows. We've got complete electricity disaster going on in Austin, Texas. Yeah, you said it.

The Dark Winter has hit Texas. Yeah, I read somewhere. There's 2.5 million people without power right now in Texas. That's insane.

Yeah. Didn't, and I have this Biden thing here. President Joe Biden approves Texas emergency declaration. Didn't he sign an executive order a few weeks ago about disaster recovery, something or other?

I got to look it up. Yeah, I remember something about that. They anticipated some kind of... I was wondering why they would even throw that in there.

But yeah, it feels like this is... If there is weather manipulation technology, which I believe there is, why not go after the biggest state in the country that protects your second-member rights? Right. I think it's hilarious.

During the California fires... No, the... Oh, what is the word I'm looking for? I don't know.

Wow, I can't think of it. It's a biblical word. The... Oh my gosh.

Everybody leaving California. Oh, Exodus. Exodus. The California Exodus, millions of Californians moving out of the country, many of the country.

Oops, the country of California. California. Yes, California. Many of them moved to Austin, many of them moved to Texas, and many of them moved to Austin in particular.

Oh, yeah. So you got all these Californians, all these sunshine heads moving out to Texas, thinking it's going to be warm and sunny, and they get the biggest snow disaster cutting their power. They've turned into a full geoengineering emergency zone. Yeah.

And I was thinking too, is that a lot of the LA residents, especially that moved out there, just brought the principality from LA out to Austin in the Texas area. And now everybody in Austin is probably like, get out of here, you callies. You brought your bad juju with you. Yeah.

Oh, well, and there was the 133 car pileup over there in Texas too. I think it was... I saw some footage of that. Oh, man.

That is scary stuff, man. Yeah. Where was that? That was in Dallas, I believe.

It was some black ice, right? And the big rigs couldn't stop, and they just kept smashing in. Oh, yeah. Yeah, no.

And then, you know, you hear about those kind of pileups maybe once, oh, I don't know, every five years or something. Texas, let me see where that was. I think it was in Dallas. Oh, no, I'm losing control of my VR hand.

Here we go. Texas pileup. I think a bunch of people died too. It's very unfortunate.

Oh, do you hear that cat screaming in the background? I do. I'm going to talk to him. Get out of here.

Oh, no. You can't communicate. Let's see here. That's very difficult.

I'm reading this entire article. I'm not finding exactly where it is. At least six people are dead and dozens more were injured in a massive pileup on an icy Texas interstate that involves more than 130 vehicles Thursday morning. Official said this is a major catastrophe in our city, Fort Worth, yeah, Dallas, Fort Worth, fire spokesmen Mike Drifdahl said about the ice related crash.

Yeah, man, apparently it's cold in Texas. So there you go. It's global warming. Global warming.

You know what I've heard and just people who are a little bit more on the fringes talk about is that this kind of weather change is so places like Texas, it's going to get colder there. So there's going to be some kind of like weird shift in weather. Those places like Antarctica are going to start melting. And it's a lot of good to real estate in Antarctica.

Yeah, but also some ancient pyramids as well. The Nazi bases. So the entrance to the hollow earth. What I'm hearing is that they're going to start releasing some of that information as a carried on stick and these types of weather anomalies is the beginning of the ice age for their.

Do you see that story? Are you referring to that story? There was a story. There was a story about how they were drilling in the eyes of Antarctica just recently and they found they released another ancient bacteria or something.

Yeah, I was going to put it in the show today. Is it in the show today? No, but I have it here. I can pull it up real quick.

Yeah, it just happened this week or something. Yeah, here it is. This is MSN.com. But also it's a business insider article.

Scientists accidentally found life under 3,000 feet of ice in Antarctica. Never in a million years where they've expected it. The lead scientist said scientists. Blah, blah, blah.
