AI Isn't Evil : Sam Altman is

0:00 A new question that I'm now gonna ask all of the people who come on to my show from now moving forward, you get to be the first is what is your favorite conspiracy theory or what is the conspiracy theory that you are just obsessed with right now? That is a I'm sure you'll get a lot of interesting answers to that question. For me, and this might be an answer that you won't find satisfying, but I really don't see myself as a traditional conspiracy theorist. I think my conspiracy theories are around the

0:45 notion that there are bad people, evil people in this world, and they get together and plot evil things. And that does happen. That is my favorite conspiracy theory and that's the stuff that I genuin generally look into versus, you know, I know there's a lot of ones out there that are like aliens and oh yeah, you know, pyramids and and all that stuff. For me, it's just like, hey, I think, you know, for example, I I I believe that um you know, Sam Alolman is, you know, an evil human being and he's plotting to kill us all. You know, that's the kind of stuff that I dig into, which some people would think that's a conspiracy theory. Other people just think that he's just an evil

1:30 psychopathic billionaire doing evil psychopathic billionaire things. Yeah, I know. I I agree wholeheartedly. I guess, you know, maybe the conspiracy is the wrong word because now in like 2026, like those lines are blurred, like, you know, the fantastical, which would be like the UFOs and the things of that nature down to like government corruption and it's all kind of conspiracy now. You know, I know last week you and I were talking a lot about the um the uh the Fly Dubai flight, and I remember you were fixated on that for a few days, and that's a conspiracy. Oh, okay. Wait, hold on a second. I'm gonna I'm gonna revise my answer for a little bit because I do have some

2:15 interesting conspiracies that I'm kind of like known to do stories on which are these like theories of people honeypotting and things like that. Whether it be, you know, Alexis Wilkins and Cash Patel or Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump or Sydney Sweeney, Scooter Braun or Marilyn Monroe with JFK. These are all like interesting theories to me in terms of like how, you know, love and relationships can then be like basically shoehorned in to this like massive like geopolitical or or love and basically how love can somehow like have huge geopolitical

3:00 consequences. We we I'm going to use love in quotations. So, those are interesting stories that I, you know, for one reason or another really love getting into. And those are some of my favorites that you do, honestly. I mean, I'm pretty sure that you got taken off of TikTok for doing the Alexis Wilkins stuff if I'm not mistaken. Or at least it may have been like a bridge or a straw that broke the camel's back type of situation. But, I did get taken off of TikTok for I think for that story, but I had it restored after that. And this was in the pre-allison days. Yes. So I was able to get it restored and then later on um I got banned again after Larry Ellison took it over. I don't know for what video specifically. It's hard to

3:46 say. I did another one that was like kind of Taylor Swift related, but it wasn't really about Taylor Swift. It was a fake Taylor Swift album review. And everything that I was talking, everything in the background was like stuff about, you know, how Israel was infiltrating our media, whether through, you know, the Warner Brothers. Uh, at the time it was it was announced that it was like they were taking over Warner Brothers or the Ellison's were and then taking over Tik Tok and all this stuff. Yeah. Then I got taken off. Interesting, isn't it? I know. I thought I could skirt the AI algorithm or like content moderation by just putting up articles in the background, but AI is smart now. They

4:32 know what I'm talking about. Oh, it's getting better and better. It understands context unlike anything. It's actually getting scary over the last couple of months um with using AI and everything like that. And that actually is a perfect little segue cuz I'm sort of wondering what your take because this is something that I talk about a lot on the show which is the AI companies. I use AI. I love AI. I think as a technology it's fantastic. Uh but the AI companies and particularly the people who own them and their transhumanist beliefs uh really scare me. and these cults that have formed in Silicon Valley around them really do

5:18 scare me. So, what is your take kind of on like the AI slash AI companies out there because I know you've definitely exposed a lot of like Sam Alman over the ye over the last year or so. I've seen you do quite a few videos on that. What's kind of your take on AI in general these days? I think I kind of agree with you in some respects. I don't think AI as a technology itself is evil just like any other technology that's been invented in the past, you know, hundreds or thousands of years. But it's really the people who control the technology that makes it evil. Like what are they planning to do with it? Um, and the control, the centralized control. I think AI, I talked to this guy, he's in the AI world, and he was like, AI can be

6:05 good. It's just the centralization of AI by specific people is what makes it evil. He's like everybody should in theory have their own little like chatbot which you know they can control but all that data needs to be yours. He says one of the big issues is that you have these multinational corporations with no loyalty to a nation or even its people controlling all this data. Who knows what they're going to do with it? I just read recently, you know, some guy was like, "Hey, don't feed your stuff into open AI because they're going to do something with it." Like they can generate businesses on businesses ideas, research, you know, inventions from the ideas that you have that's feeding into it. There's no way for you to know it's

6:50 secure. So, it's all about like the data storage and what you input should be yours in terms of ownership versus it now being controlled by these overlords and who knows what they're going to do with it. Like connection to um war, killing people, you know, all that stuff. I think that's where a lot of the evil comes from, man. Man, I I couldn't agree more. Yeah. I I sort of take the stance that well, a the technology isn't evil. People say like AI is evil and AI is going to take jobs and we like we kind of like almost put this like personhood into it like we make it like it's not ones and zeros and just basically Python like it's basically what it is like you know it's

7:35 software us saying like it's evil it's going to do this it's no like AI is going to take your job an employer is going to try to use AI and then either eliminate your job or that job will never be available to anybody again. But that doesn't mean that like the technology is evil. But yeah, I I agree that you know we should have some sovereignty over our data because data is gold in 2026 and in the future. I actually think that we've kind of reached like the limits of the internet and the books and everything that we have as far as media to train AI on. And

8:20 so we're going to actually see this like lull in development, which is why I think we've seeing the Frontier AI Labs working with the American government putting out America uh.gov with an AI chatbot. And that's all to train people. train user behavior, train Americans. That's free training for all of those companies and they need it because they're they're not in a good place. Like these AI companies are not in a good place at all. Um, from an economic standpoint, they're all like months away from, you know, basically needing a bailout from the American government, which to me seems like that's what's being propped up right now is everything set up so that the

9:06 American government, i.e. us taxpayers, we're going to foot the bill for AI and then we're going to instead of nationalizing it, we're still going to have to pay for it to use it. That's the the big difference is like well if you nationalize it shouldn't the people have a say but that's seems to be not where things are going. I agree with the the whole you know AI being in a precarious situation. And I think the the economics don't make any sense. And I'm a business guy, right? Valuations and things like that, they they don't make any sense in terms of if you look at any of the ratios, you know, the income, the earnings, like they have no money, but yet they're going for trillion dollar valuations, which implies there's, you know, a lot of future value

9:52 to be gained, but how so? And will they make it there before a bailout is needed? And that's why I think, and this is not to me like trying to downplay some of the dystopian narratives around AI, but I just think that a lot of that is marketing, technology more powerful or sound more powerful than it actually is. No, you you're 100% right about that. It is marketing. it it well it's marketing but it's also market manipulation is what it really comes down to. That's what Elon Musk, one of the frontier AI owners, has done. He has built an entire career. He's not

10:38 an inventor. He's never invented any of this technology. He is a market manipulator. He knows how to go on Joe Rogan and smoke weed and then put out, you know, a 420 uh uh stock ticker for uh Tesla, right? Like he knows how to play that game probably better than anybody on the planet. So, I think that that's part of it. Now the other part of it which is where I think everybody is kind of missing the point and something that I have been screaming from the rooftops is that there is another layer there and the other layer is what we

11:23 would call Tesreel right and if you don't know TESCREAL is basically these seven ideologies that are within Silicon Valley like transhumanism and Extropianism and like this is the the crux of like most of the content that I do. So my audience knows all about TESCREAL but uh the T in test is transhumanism and almost all of these people are they've all written uh transhumanist manifestos or you know have built transhumanist companies like Neurolink you know the the AI brain interface. Uh Sam Alman has one called uh Merge, which is also a 2017 paper that he did about transhumanism. So all these guys are

12:08 like openly transhumanists. Now all of the doomers, all of the whistleblowers like Jeremy Coxin, all of those people fall into one of two of those testrial camps. The effective altruists or the rationalists. And both of them are the doomers. And you've I've never seen a single AI doomer that isn't one of those. And that is this weird thing that's going on in the background that is just sort of coming to light. And for effective altruists, think Sam Bankman Freed. He was the poster child for effective altruism. He took it to its logical or illogical end and is now in prison with Diddy. That's that's the

12:54 other layer I think that a lot the of context that people are missing because the doomers what they're not trying to do is save humanity. They present themselves as oh we're here to save humanity. No, what they want to do is they want to make sure that humans aren't eradicated because if there's no humans left then we can't become posthuman or transhumanist.
