Speaker 1: This is Gary and Shannon and you're listening to kf
Speaker 1: I AM six forty, the Gary and Shannon Show on
Speaker 1: demand on the iHeartRadio apps.
Speaker 2: Time for Swamp watch.
Speaker 1: Swamp is horrible.
Speaker 2: The government doesn't work. Man, make it like a reality
Speaker 2: TV show.
Speaker 1: A bad Noos, always a pleasure to be anywhere from Washington,
Speaker 1: d C.
Speaker 2: Hey Joe.
Speaker 3: A town hall too, clearly built on a swamp and
Speaker 3: in so many ways.
Speaker 2: Still a swamp. I have to watch it. Mawarkee boy said,
Speaker 2: drained the swamp. I said, Oh, that's so hell. Keep
Speaker 2: happensh You.
Speaker 1: Know the thing, well, it was one year ago today
Speaker 1: the terror attack on Israel, and just reading through what
Speaker 1: happened at that music Supernova festival, the journey of unity
Speaker 1: and love there near the border, just rereading the stories
Speaker 1: from one year ago today, it's it's just horrific.
Speaker 4: And we have been following what appears to be this
Speaker 4: slow trudge towards a wider war throughout the Middle East,
Speaker 4: and we wanted to talk more about what it is
Speaker 4: that the future holds for that area. Lieutenant General Richard
Speaker 4: Newton is joining US a senior National Court a security
Speaker 4: contributor to News Nation General this has been a very
Speaker 4: dark year obviously for that region. Where are we today
Speaker 4: compared to where we were in the afternoon of October
Speaker 4: seventh from last.
Speaker 5: Year, Well, good morning, and you're right. It was an
Speaker 5: absolutely brutal attack and frankly in the public domain right now,
Speaker 5: I'd like our listeners appreciating context. Hamas took a play
Speaker 5: the playbook of ISIS and al Qaeda and actually used
Speaker 5: such brutal tactics on a battlefield to include sexual violence
Speaker 5: on the battlefield and the taking of hostages. And there's
Speaker 5: still about one hundred and one hostages still under Hamas control.
Speaker 5: I believe there's probably significantly less still alive. But where
Speaker 5: we are right now is an Israel that had its
Speaker 5: back against the wall. That was a significant failure of Israel,
Speaker 5: certainly in their military intelligence and their other intelligence to
Speaker 5: the fact that it was a surprise attack on October seventh.
Speaker 5: But where we are right now is we've seen the
Speaker 5: resolve of Prime Minister n in Yahoo, certainly the capabilities
Speaker 5: of Israeli defense forces and frankly, Israeli people have stood
Speaker 5: up to this brutal attack. But there's not just one
Speaker 5: axis that they are being attacked there's multiple fronts, what
Speaker 5: I would call an axis of evil. You've got Hamas
Speaker 5: in Gaza pretty much decimated at this point. You've got
Speaker 5: heaslots to the north, which has the largest paramilitary terraced
Speaker 5: foot soldiers in terms of numbers and capability. To the
Speaker 5: north have been lobbing since October eighth, relentlessly, up to
Speaker 5: thirteen thousand projectiles of missiles and rockets on artillery since
Speaker 5: October eighth. Then, of course, hoof, he's down in the
Speaker 5: South and Yemen. These are all proc of Iran. The
Speaker 5: head of the snak is Iran, and so that has
Speaker 5: become loud and clear. I think not only certainly Israel
Speaker 5: knew that. The United States knew that. I knew that
Speaker 5: when I was on active duty, but now the rest
Speaker 5: of the world does. And so what you're seeing play
Speaker 5: out is that Israel almost is going alone at this point. However,
Speaker 5: we've been providing. You are still our military supplies and
Speaker 5: capabilities and arms and so forth. But nonetheless, Israel has
Speaker 5: fought back. I believe they've fought back somewhat relentlessly and effectively.
Speaker 5: And so we're at a point now where Hamas is decimated
Speaker 5: as well, they have systematically taken out their leadership as
Speaker 5: well as a lot of their military capabilities are missile capabilities.
Speaker 5: And so the next thing is, Okay, how are they
Speaker 5: going to counterattack against Iran if they've made two major
Speaker 5: acts of war in their missile attack on April thirteenth,
Speaker 5: in October.
Speaker 1: First, Yeah, Lieutenant General Richard Newton is who we're talking
Speaker 1: to right now, senior national security contributor for News Nation.
Speaker 1: The proxies you mentioned, Iran's proxies hamas have been weakened
Speaker 1: substantially since a year ago today.
Speaker 6: Does that make it.
Speaker 1: More imminent or put pressure on Israel maybe now to
Speaker 1: go into Iran and to attack the nuclear facilities.
Speaker 5: Well premise in Nyahu, and his Minister of Defense has
Speaker 5: said that they will attack Iran on their time and
Speaker 5: their choosing. But however, I believe where the stress is
Speaker 5: the most stressed UH in terms of the midiest right
Speaker 5: now is Iran because of they have then they thought
Speaker 5: that their proxies, which really serve as their long range
Speaker 5: military capability, they don't have a really particularly strong conventional
Speaker 5: capability other than in missiles, and in some degree there
Speaker 5: they're specialists inside the Iranian revolution at Guard Corps. But
Speaker 5: they've been using these proxies for decades husb lah Hamas
Speaker 5: and Husi's and so forth. And now that they seem
Speaker 5: that Israel has done to Hamas specifically and now Hesbelah,
Speaker 5: I believe it's really put the stress and backed Iran
Speaker 5: into a corner. And so Israel right now is, in
Speaker 5: my view, in what I would call a driver's seat.
Speaker 5: And so it's up to Israel in terms of how
Speaker 5: they go back and strike Iran. They did after the
Speaker 5: April thirteenth missile attack, if you recall, there's just one
Speaker 5: They went after one area defense system in the Isfahan reason,
Speaker 5: which is another nuclear weapons capability. But right now I
Speaker 5: think you're going to see a much more culminating a broader,
Speaker 5: comprehensive counter strike with impunity, not just over a day
Speaker 5: or two, but probably in terms of weeks of time.
Speaker 4: I love your perspective. Thank you for that, Lieutenant General
Speaker 4: Richard Newton, Thanks for taking.
Speaker 2: Time for us today.
Speaker 5: My pleasure, good morning.
Speaker 2: Thanks. This is going to be an issue.
Speaker 4: I know that when Kamala Harris sat down for that
Speaker 4: interview with sixty Minutes that airs tonight, one of the
Speaker 4: clips that's been released by CBS. Already is her being
Speaker 4: asked about Benjamin Netanya, who is not listening to you.
Speaker 2: He's not listening to Joe Biden. He's not listening to you.
Speaker 4: We claim that we're the biggest ally that we've got,
Speaker 4: but you keep telling him to calm down, basically, and
Speaker 4: to you keep calling for a ceasefire.
Speaker 2: He's not paying attention to.
Speaker 1: No escalation has been the Biden and Kamala Harris response. Trump,
Speaker 1: on the other hand, says, now's the time for Israel
Speaker 1: to act and take out those nuclear facilities, like let's
Speaker 1: kick the dog while it's down right and show us
Speaker 1: strength towards the axis of evil here. And you know
Speaker 1: the point I was trying to drive home there is
Speaker 1: this is the weakest Hesbalah and Hamas have been for
Speaker 1: a long time. Now is the time to strike. If
Speaker 1: you're going to do that. Yeah, well, there has been
Speaker 1: a lot of speculation that the inaction in North Carolina
Speaker 1: with cleaning up Helene is in correlation to the fact
Speaker 1: that North Carolina elects Republicans, specifically Donald Trump and twenty
Speaker 1: took i think twenty seven out of twenty eight counties there.
Speaker 1: Georgia is also another state where voting preparation has been
Speaker 1: disrupted because of Helene, those two battleground states, and that's
Speaker 1: the fight is going to center around this. If he
Speaker 1: goes on to lose, it's going to center around Biden's
Speaker 1: Administration's a response to the cleanup and all that, and
Speaker 1: being able to get people to the ballots, get people
Speaker 1: to the polls or less than a month away now,
Speaker 1: and if there's already a backlog of voting preparations, that's
Speaker 1: going to be a fight.
Speaker 4: Well, vote by mail when they don't have mail, I mean,
Speaker 4: how do you do that? Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2: This is if this is.
Speaker 4: A thing, it's a dangerous thing to allege because on
Speaker 4: the other side, there are allegations that former President Trump
Speaker 4: said he was going to withhold wildlife sorry, wildfire relief
Speaker 4: money from California because it's so blue. That kind of rhetoric,
Speaker 4: that kind of talk, that kind of discussion, if it
Speaker 4: even crosses a politician's mind, should disqualify them from ever
Speaker 4: holding office.
Speaker 1: Ever, that's not what we do. That's what killed Chris
Speaker 1: Christie in a way. Yeah, going to give you traffic.
Speaker 4: Speaking of and I had mentioned earlier that FEMA, you know,
Speaker 4: FEMA has the ability to get more money. I mean
Speaker 4: they've gone through what was allocated to them, and that
Speaker 4: this has been a particularly difficult year.
Speaker 2: We do have more money that can come. It's got
Speaker 2: to go through Congress.
Speaker 4: Now, Mike Johnson is saying he's not committing to calling
Speaker 4: Congress back into session before the election because they're out now,
Speaker 4: they're not supposed, they're not scheduled to come back. But
Speaker 4: in his letter, in a letter I should say, President
Speaker 4: Biden urged Congress to restore funding to the Small Business
Speaker 4: Administration's Disaster loan program, which is facing some short falls
Speaker 4: even before Hurricane Helene came through. And now that we've
Speaker 4: talked about having Milton knocking on the door of Floorida,
Speaker 4: it's not going to get a whole lot better. Also
Speaker 4: mentioned that there are plenty of interviews coming up. Vice
Speaker 4: President Harris has an interview tonight on sixty Minutes. Then
Speaker 4: she does Stephen Colbert, then she does Howard Stern, then
Speaker 4: she does the View. The last three probably not the
Speaker 4: hardest hitting. She also did an interview with Alex what's
Speaker 4: her name A Hamilton now Alex Cooper. Alex Cooper from
Speaker 4: the Call Her Daddy podcast I've listened to one entire
Speaker 4: episode of this thing, so I can't qualify or agree
Speaker 4: or not with if it's a sex podcast.
Speaker 6: I did a read. It's the number two podcasts behind
Speaker 6: Joe Rogan.
Speaker 4: It's very popular. Regardless of what the topics are, it's
Speaker 4: a very popular thing. And I mentioned that I listened
Speaker 4: to this whole episode today because I wanted to hear
Speaker 4: what the hullabaloo was.
Speaker 2: This was the first question to ask of the Vice president.
Speaker 6: What made you want to do call her daddy today?
Speaker 7: Well, I think you and your listeners have really got
Speaker 7: this thing right, which is one of the best ways
Speaker 7: to communicate with people is to be real, you know,
Speaker 7: and to talk about the things that people.
Speaker 6: Really care about.
Speaker 7: What I love about what you do is that your
Speaker 7: voice in your show is really about your listeners. And
Speaker 7: I think, especially now, this is a moment in the
Speaker 7: country and in life where people really want another scene
Speaker 7: and heard and that they're part of a community. I
Speaker 7: think that she's been show and so I'm really glad
Speaker 7: to be with you.
Speaker 4: That was that was word salary a little bit. I mean,
Speaker 4: the idea of being seen and heard, et cetera. The
Speaker 4: interview itself wasn't bad in that she didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 1: I feel like sometimes when she's confronted with journalists, she
Speaker 1: gets her she puts her friences up, she puts her
Speaker 1: her guard, she's defensive, and she if she feels she
Speaker 1: can go on the podcast and be real, that's great
Speaker 1: for her.
Speaker 6: That's a great moment.
Speaker 2: And listen.
Speaker 4: Election wise, yeah, that's the way you can win an election.
Speaker 4: That is to go through and talk to people at
Speaker 4: their level however you want to do that. But even
Speaker 4: Andrea and Mitchell from MSNBC yesterday said, Kamala Harris has
Speaker 4: got to do serious interview and I.
Speaker 8: Think they've got to double down on doing more interviews
Speaker 8: and serious interviews because when I'm hearing from Democratic and
Speaker 8: Republican business people and a lot of men, and she's
Speaker 8: got such a big problem with men. I think there's
Speaker 8: an under account of the Trump vote. I think there's
Speaker 8: a miss edgn misogenation in all of this black and
Speaker 8: white men big problem. But also the business world, they
Speaker 8: don't think she is serious, they don't think she's a heavyweight.
Speaker 8: And a lot of this is gender. But she's got
Speaker 8: to be more specific about her economic.
Speaker 4: Fans now she's going, like I said, she did call
Speaker 4: her Daddy's She's doing Stephen Colbert, Howard Stern and the
Speaker 4: view outside of that sixty minute interview, and then Tim
Speaker 4: Walls on the underticket, the undercard, the vice presidential nominee
Speaker 4: is doing Jimmy Kimmel. I mean, these are not serious interviews,
Speaker 4: and I know that they can ask serious questions, but
Speaker 4: that's not what drives those types of interviews, and it's
Speaker 4: going to come back to haunt them.
Speaker 1: I think we mentioned earlier the term gray divorce. It
Speaker 1: turns out thirty six percent of people getting a divorce
Speaker 1: in this country are over the age.
Speaker 6: Of fifty and the different reasons for that.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 4: One of the things that I pointed out was I
Speaker 4: would be very upset if my parents had divorced after
Speaker 4: they were fifty.
Speaker 2: And I'm not certain.
Speaker 4: I think part of it would be my naivete about
Speaker 4: what a marriage is supposed.
Speaker 1: To be, okay, or what you thought your parents had
Speaker 1: thought they had, and that you would feel like it
Speaker 1: was a lie if they got a divorce.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's one thing if you saw I mean,
Speaker 4: kids are probably a lot more in tune to these
Speaker 4: things then they realize you know, relationships strained between your parents.
Speaker 4: I'm sure that everybody probably has seen some level of
Speaker 4: it to some degree, and you know, some people have
Speaker 4: nightmare stories about, yeah, the relationship that their parents had.
Speaker 4: But I think it would have just been a letdown
Speaker 4: for me because I would have thought, why I thought
Speaker 4: you guys were and maybe listen again, I speak from
Speaker 4: a point of naivete where my parents didn't have that.
Speaker 4: They didn't have a lot of friction in their marriage,
Speaker 4: they didn't have a lot of strained times. So I'm
Speaker 4: lucky for that. And I think that you know, other
Speaker 4: people who did grow up with that strained marriage, or
Speaker 4: that their parents got divorced when they were six or
Speaker 4: twelve or eighteen, Like, different stages bring with it different
Speaker 4: kinds of reactions to that. So I at least acknowledge
Speaker 4: that's not that's not my experience, and I can I
Speaker 4: can say that for some people it's probably one of,
Speaker 4: if not the biggest childhood memory they have is watching
Speaker 4: their parents go through and divorce, right, So I don't know,
Speaker 4: it would just be I was naive to think I
Speaker 4: would have been naive if they had gotten divorced after
Speaker 4: the age of fifty.
Speaker 6: So what did people say?
Speaker 2: So there were other things.
Speaker 4: Some people said that I was right, but for different
Speaker 4: reasons too.
Speaker 2: So Hey, Garry Jen happy ONNDY to you. Hey, it's
Speaker 2: Robin Oc.
Speaker 3: I'm a divorcee. I felt it was better to be
Speaker 3: divorced than being a toxic relationship because then I'm teaching
Speaker 3: my kids has to survive in a toxic relationship and
Speaker 3: that's not a healthy way of life.
Speaker 6: Just my opinion.
Speaker 2: Thanks guys, let me show bye.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's one of the issues. He's talking
Speaker 4: specifically from his own experience. But there has to be
Speaker 4: a calculus that you go through when you're going to
Speaker 4: end a relationship like that. Not just end the relationship,
Speaker 4: but I mean all of the legal matters that come
Speaker 4: along with it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's all needs to be taken into consideration,
Speaker 1: because that can be a complete mess.
Speaker 9: Gary, if your parents got divorced once the kids were
Speaker 9: all up and out of the house and onto their
Speaker 9: own lives, would you really be angry or would you
Speaker 9: maybe also be sad, disappointed, frustrated, disillusioned if they really
Speaker 9: tried to work on it and found that it wasn't
Speaker 9: going to make them both happy when they have deserved
Speaker 9: to try to find happiness individually. Just my perspective.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, you have a hard time articulating your emotions.
Speaker 1: So that's what I was trying to get to. When
Speaker 1: you say it would make me angry, it's like, well,
Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? What do you mean
Speaker 1: when you say angry? And I think she kind of
Speaker 1: nailed it well, she definitely had better words than I did.
Speaker 6: That's what you sad?
Speaker 9: Disappointed?
Speaker 6: Yes, frustrated disillusion.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: You need that chart with the faces so you can
Speaker 1: better articulate.
Speaker 2: We moved it to Texas with my daughter.
Speaker 6: Can't just be angry or.
Speaker 1: Sad or happy two main emotions. Needs to be a
Speaker 1: little bit more shades. But it's also she pointed out
Speaker 1: something that I hadn't thought of.
Speaker 9: When they have deserved to try to find happiness individually.
Speaker 2: Uh no, they're my parents. They're supposed to be together.
Speaker 4: Again, I'm not saying that's the right way, but that
Speaker 4: would be what my reaction is.
Speaker 6: Right, Right, you're not their whole world.
Speaker 1: Sometimes you think that our parents don't have their own lives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I trust me. I'm on the receiving end of
Speaker 4: that now too. My kids look at me. I don't
Speaker 4: know what they expect of me or what kind of
Speaker 4: they don't. It's not like they ask about my relationship
Speaker 4: with their mother.
Speaker 1: Right, But what you're not just your relationship, and you're
Speaker 1: not just your relationship with them. You're into adult theater,
Speaker 1: you have a career. You like to tinker. Yeah, you're
Speaker 1: kind of a tinker, like around the house you were painted.
Speaker 10: They got to say, I resound with Gary on that
Speaker 10: whole angry about parents coming to you at the age
Speaker 10: of fifty and saying they want a divorce. My parents
Speaker 10: did that, and I was so mad at them. I
Speaker 10: was like, we were miserable as children. You guys stayed
Speaker 10: together that whole entire time. You never left him then,
Speaker 10: and now you want to leave him.
Speaker 2: Hell no.
Speaker 10: It was interesting, really, I was so angry.
Speaker 4: Now that again, that wouldn't have been my experience because
Speaker 4: I had a good childhood. I mean, it was happy, there.
Speaker 2: Were no negatives.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But that she talked about it that they grew
Speaker 4: up miserable because their parents were miserable.
Speaker 1: Right, and so why didn't you just do this and
Speaker 1: saved us the misery?
Speaker 6: Interesting?
Speaker 4: But the other thing is you've put in twenty five
Speaker 4: thirty years with someone, and you're just gonna like throw
Speaker 4: that away. Oh there's a shiny new thing, or I.
Speaker 1: Don't feel like on your priority. Speaking to the woman
Speaker 1: that was profiled in the story earlier, I just she said,
Speaker 1: we had the house, we had the kids, we had
Speaker 1: a household. EQUI that's right, equal equal sharing of the
Speaker 1: household duties and the child rearing and everything.
Speaker 6: But I didn't feel like I was his number one priority.
Speaker 1: Well, priorities change from day to day, time to time,
Speaker 1: they look different. You can't be the number one priority
Speaker 1: all the time, right telling me like, right now, your
Speaker 1: number one priority should be that shirt and what you're
Speaker 1: going to do with it when you get rid of it.
Speaker 2: Why why do I get rid of that shirt? Just kidding?
Speaker 2: You do that to me all the time. See how
Speaker 2: it feels feel better, does it?
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, it's a beautiful shirt.
Speaker 2: There's a new thing that's going to ruin our jobs. Great.
Speaker 4: I thought AI was never coming for us. It's totally
Speaker 4: coming for us.
Speaker 1: I'm having friends text me telling me who is uh
Speaker 1: who should.
Speaker 6: Consider a divorce later in life? This is not.
Speaker 2: Okay? Open up there.
Speaker 1: We got to get to the story tomorrow if we
Speaker 1: don't get it to it today. And that producer Alex
Speaker 1: found about why did people in the past look so
Speaker 1: much older?
Speaker 2: That's a great that's a great story.
Speaker 6: It is.
Speaker 2: Because you look at people and you make fun of me.
Speaker 2: I think it.
Speaker 8: They've got to double down on doing more interviews and
Speaker 8: serious interviews because when I'm hearing from democratic.
Speaker 1: Why does she start talking, Well, she wants us to
Speaker 1: do more serious interviews.
Speaker 4: You always make fun of me, and you go that
Speaker 4: guy's that guy's your age or whatever.
Speaker 6: That's not me making fun of you. That's saying, can you.
Speaker 2: Believe that guy's your age?
Speaker 6: Because you look.
Speaker 4: I see what you're doing now. You're trying to clean
Speaker 4: up your mess and know it because you make fun
Speaker 4: You do not look your age.
Speaker 1: You look a good You look more like my age
Speaker 1: than your age. If I had to, if I saw
Speaker 1: you in the wild, if you saw me on that
Speaker 1: corner down here, yeah, I'd say you were my age,
Speaker 1: I'd say you're about forty forty three.
Speaker 6: Forty four.
Speaker 4: Hm, you emphasized forty four. You could have just stuck
Speaker 4: with forty three.
Speaker 1: Well, I was slow rolling my forty four to make
Speaker 1: it sound like there was some wiggle room there that
Speaker 1: maybe I could be forty three.
Speaker 6: No, but you know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean, Like, when I see a guy that's that's like
Speaker 1: not taking care of himself, who's your age? I'm like,
Speaker 1: can you believe that you guys are the same age?
Speaker 1: I do the same thing to my husband too. My
Speaker 1: husband also takes great care of himself, does not look
Speaker 1: his age at all. So it's just it's fascinating to
Speaker 1: me the spectrum of of but back it does seem
Speaker 1: like when my parents, my grand parents were my grandparents, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they looked a lot older than my mom, Like my
Speaker 1: grandmother looked a hell of a lot older than my
Speaker 1: mom does now at seventy six.
Speaker 2: I listen.
Speaker 4: I don't know if this is also because they've passed,
Speaker 4: but I have a specific age for my parents when
Speaker 4: I think of them, the image that comes to my head,
Speaker 4: it's a specific age. Yes, it doesn't change over the
Speaker 4: course of the forty or fifty years that I've known
Speaker 4: them and been conscious of that.
Speaker 2: I have a specific image.
Speaker 6: How old were you at that at this time?
Speaker 4: Well, it would have been right about they would have
Speaker 4: been right about probably late forties, So that would have
Speaker 4: put me.
Speaker 1: That's how I think of my parents too. That's funny
Speaker 1: as a teenager. Yes, and that's it, right, that's funny, guys.
Speaker 1: This is the end. Oh, we are ushering in the end.
Speaker 4: There's a guy who writes for the Washington Post who
Speaker 4: has a Jeffrey Fowler, who has spent a lot of
Speaker 4: time in technology, privacy things like that, and he.
Speaker 2: Used an experimental.
Speaker 4: AI website called notebook LM. It generates audio based on
Speaker 4: information that you upload to it, and in this case,
Speaker 4: he uploaded Facebook's privacy policy that just think of that,
Speaker 4: the terms and condition, the privacy policy that Facebook has.
Speaker 4: He uploaded that into this AI website, outcomes a seven
Speaker 4: and a half minute podcast.
Speaker 2: This is not two human beings speaking to each other.
Speaker 2: Did you know they actually track your mouse movements, like
Speaker 2: every little scroll and hesitation. It's kind of creepy when
Speaker 2: you think about it. They say it helps him tell
Speaker 2: real users apart from box.
Speaker 6: But still, yeah, it does make you wonder, doesn't it.
Speaker 2: And that's just one example.
Speaker 1: Metta also collects a ton of info on the people
Speaker 1: you're connected to, your friends, followers, even people you might
Speaker 1: know whoa just the way they're speaking. It's not computer
Speaker 1: like the intonation the breath.
Speaker 2: Wow, they have breath.
Speaker 1: They have breath. That is terrifying. Wait a minute, are
Speaker 1: we AI right now? And that's not all?
Speaker 2: So this guy says, when they.
Speaker 1: Start doing humor, that's what that's what I'm coming up
Speaker 1: with their own jokes, coming up with their own jokes
Speaker 1: or reacting to humor, that'll be the troubling stuff.
Speaker 4: This guy, Jeffrey Fowler, again says he was surprised that
Speaker 4: when he uploaded the Facebook privacy policy, what was spit
Speaker 4: out on the other end was more critical than he
Speaker 4: was expecting. Taking the point of view of a skeptical
Speaker 4: Facebook user, is is I didn't tell it to do that.
Speaker 4: The AI decides its own focus on each podcast and
Speaker 4: each summary that it comes up with, and it said,
Speaker 4: it's it's interesting because he knows this policy inside now
Speaker 4: for fifteen years, he's been writing about Facebook privacy policies,
Speaker 4: social media privacy policies. And he said, what was surprising
Speaker 4: was about four minutes into this podcast, it takes a
Speaker 4: detour into the meta oversight board. He said, it makes
Speaker 4: moderation decisions and it's mentioned in the privacy policy, but
Speaker 4: it isn't nearly as important to your privacy as a
Speaker 4: lot of other things in the policy, like how Meta
Speaker 4: uses your information to train its artificial intelligence. When you
Speaker 4: think about it, yeah, and he says, it tries to
Speaker 4: make a lot of analogies that may or may not
Speaker 4: be appropriate, depending on the gravitas of the source material
Speaker 4: that you give it.
Speaker 1: But it is making incredible strides, quickly, exponential strides. Meta
Speaker 1: unveiled its most advanced AI video technology as well. It's
Speaker 1: called movie gen and it can transform text to video
Speaker 1: from a simple prompt, which can create Hollywood style movie clips.
Speaker 6: I think space wars.
Speaker 2: That's a great idea.
Speaker 1: Tech companies are racing to create AI models that can
Speaker 1: generate video, and they say, of course that this could
Speaker 1: spread misinformation online, threatened jobs. You can just not just
Speaker 1: have the audio, but have the Hollywood style movie clips
Speaker 1: from just a single prompt.
