1
00:00:03.439 --> 00:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Toxic around. This is the seventy seven WABC Mini cast,

2
00:00:11.400 --> 00:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>absolutely one of the greatest controlled seeming You know this,

3
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>And there are differences, Don't get me wrong, of course

4
00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:24.359
<v Speaker 1>there are, but deep down inside, when you keep going

5
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.640
<v Speaker 1>up and up and up, higher and higher and higher

6
00:00:26.679 --> 00:00:29.519
<v Speaker 1>around the world, there's only a few people in charge.

7
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.200
<v Speaker 1>But there's this illusion that there's all this dissension. Not really,

8
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:41.000
<v Speaker 1>not really. Oh, there's always a difference. There's always a difference.

9
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.119
<v Speaker 1>There's more descent between a Mexican restaurant and a Chinese restaurant.

10
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:51.719
<v Speaker 1>There's more differences than in anything else. And one of

11
00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>the things that we are absolutely woefully so quiet about

12
00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>is privacy. Privacy. We don't even know what that means.

13
00:01:02.679 --> 00:01:05.519
<v Speaker 1>Most of us were raising this notion of what the

14
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:11.000
<v Speaker 1>word Orwellian means. Nineteen eighty four, Eric Blair, the Great,

15
00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, this notion of being not under the boot heel,

16
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>the jack boot of surveillance. It's just incredible. I thought

17
00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:32.359
<v Speaker 1>we learned, I thought we learned at Nope, not at all.

18
00:01:32.599 --> 00:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>We forgot all about that. It's something which just to

19
00:01:36.719 --> 00:01:40.400
<v Speaker 1>this day absolutely gets me. Let me give you a

20
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>couple of ideas here. I want you to look around you.

21
00:01:43.560 --> 00:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>I want you to really look really pay attention. Okay,

22
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 1>pay attention. The surveillance state we used to fear in

23
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 1>science fiction. Okay, it didn't arrive wearing jack boots. It

24
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>arrived wearing ray bands. Oh yeah. Meta glasses, Oh yeah,

25
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.479
<v Speaker 1>remember they were there was the Google glass and that

26
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:14.560
<v Speaker 1>was a flop. Well they're back, but it's different. Meta

27
00:02:14.639 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>now selling AI power glasses that you can't detect, that

28
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:24.479
<v Speaker 1>can photograph and record and listen and analyze what the

29
00:02:24.599 --> 00:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>wearer sees. And Meta says that captured videos and photos

30
00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>remain private unless unless the user chooses to share them,

31
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:42.199
<v Speaker 1>and the glasses contain a recording indicated raw. But the

32
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:48.759
<v Speaker 1>technology has already generated disturbing complaints that nobody well people

33
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 1>are talking about, but not regular area disturbing complaints from

34
00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.479
<v Speaker 1>people who discovered that they had been recorded without their consent.

35
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Meta's own DIY documentation, by the way, also describes AI's

36
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>features capable of interpreting the world directly through the glasses cameras.

37
00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:15.879
<v Speaker 1>This is so scary and wait until you see, are

38
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:18.879
<v Speaker 1>you people? When you you're going to be seeing signs

39
00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:25.719
<v Speaker 1>that businesses and in restaurants and in courtrooms, no Mada glasses.

40
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>Take those off, and there's going to be a way

41
00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>to hide the light so you won't be able to

42
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:35.159
<v Speaker 1>see whether you're recorded. And it's here. And guess what

43
00:03:35.919 --> 00:03:39.719
<v Speaker 1>I tell this to people, and their reaction is, oh well,

44
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:44.639
<v Speaker 1>oh well, what are you gonna do about it? See,

45
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:47.639
<v Speaker 1>something happened to us, Something happened even in the days,

46
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.479
<v Speaker 1>even in the days of Cronkite, you know, talking about

47
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:56.719
<v Speaker 1>Big Brother and George Orwell and wiretaps and co intelpro

48
00:03:56.919 --> 00:04:01.400
<v Speaker 1>and j Edgar Hoover, and it was this, it was

49
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>this sense, this appreciation for it. But now it's it's

50
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>not in our vocabulary. Nobody's talking about it. And let

51
00:04:08.560 --> 00:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>me also tell you something. You better believe you're not

52
00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:15.039
<v Speaker 1>going to hear it on mainstream media, no way. You've

53
00:04:15.080 --> 00:04:18.000
<v Speaker 1>got you've got news great, you've got news stations and

54
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:21.839
<v Speaker 1>news rooms that are about to be shuttered. They don't

55
00:04:21.879 --> 00:04:24.319
<v Speaker 1>know what to do. And you know, the last thing

56
00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.079
<v Speaker 1>in the world they're gonna want to do is to

57
00:04:26.120 --> 00:04:30.639
<v Speaker 1>go and tell folks that their overlords, their paymasters, are

58
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:36.399
<v Speaker 1>involved in restricting your particular freedoms. You're never going to

59
00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:43.839
<v Speaker 1>hear this, absolutely, never, never, So that's why the vigilance.

60
00:04:43.920 --> 00:04:46.879
<v Speaker 1>We have to wake people up again, and you've got

61
00:04:46.879 --> 00:04:50.399
<v Speaker 1>to remind people of this, and that's why all kinds

62
00:04:50.399 --> 00:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>of media. I hate to say this, but what you're

63
00:04:53.920 --> 00:04:57.319
<v Speaker 1>listening to right now is now alternative media because I

64
00:04:57.360 --> 00:04:59.839
<v Speaker 1>want to I want to resurgence and what it used

65
00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:03.120
<v Speaker 1>to be used to be scary, used to be interesting.

66
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know that. I want to be mad as hell.

67
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>I want to bring back the spirit of Howard Beale.

68
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to sit back and repeat the stuff

69
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:14.040
<v Speaker 1>that is like. I don't want to repeat bumper stickers

70
00:05:14.040 --> 00:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>and headlines. It's barring. I know that I want to

71
00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 1>make people upset. I want to ask people in the government,

72
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.680
<v Speaker 1>what are you doing about this? What about my individual

73
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:31.480
<v Speaker 1>personal liberty? We're in a surveillance state. I want to

74
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.199
<v Speaker 1>wake people up, shake them up, and say do something.

75
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.120
<v Speaker 1>Get off your arse and do something.
