Speaker 1: Oh Fossor, Hello, and welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: This is the Cult of Conspiracy, and my name's Jonathan,
Speaker 2: I'm Jacob, and today we are getting into a little
Speaker 2: bit of AI taking over the world, Jacob.
Speaker 3: Little Yes, Okay, so we talked about AI. We've beat
Speaker 3: that dead horse, and we've continued to beat it until
Speaker 3: it was six feet into the ground and then kept
Speaker 3: on beating it. Okay, fine, I get it. But see
Speaker 3: that's more of the theoretical side of AI. We've talked
Speaker 3: about what happens when you combine AI with robotics, with
Speaker 3: advanced robotics, robotics that could replicate itself, duplicate itself, run
Speaker 3: the machines to create more robots, the sentient, the whole thing,
Speaker 3: the whole thing, right, And so I thought about this.
Speaker 3: This was kind of where this whole episode's brainchild stemmed from, right,
Speaker 3: I thought about it. And as we are getting nearer
Speaker 3: to election time, as we are getting closer to the
Speaker 3: end of twenty twenty four, I'm just curious what big
Speaker 3: scientific discoveries have been made this year. And we did
Speaker 3: an episode on that a couple months back, and there's
Speaker 3: gonna be at least one thing that's gonna come up
Speaker 3: in this episode that we actually did cover once upon
Speaker 3: a time, but it's worth rebearing today with the proper
Speaker 3: scope of what this type of component could be used
Speaker 3: for in the future. But we'll get there in a minute.
Speaker 3: So with all of what's going on around the world
Speaker 3: technology wise, we talked about gene splicing technology. We talked
Speaker 3: about was it ancestry or was it twenty three ae
Speaker 3: meters that was actually selling off the rights to people's
Speaker 3: DNA and they were cloning it and splicing it in
Speaker 3: all these things both actually, yeah, and there you go.
Speaker 3: We talked about different wars going on, and with wars
Speaker 3: comes technological innovation. That's typically how that works. Yes, you
Speaker 3: have great minds that think outside of the battlefield, but
Speaker 3: when it comes to advanced technology, more often than not,
Speaker 3: warfare leads to the greatest strides being made in that field.
Speaker 3: It is what it is. So we got multiple wars
Speaker 3: going on right now, we have different types of capabilities
Speaker 3: that we didn't used to have. Drones are more of
Speaker 3: a thing these days. AI is more of a thing
Speaker 3: these days. So that got me cooking. That got me
Speaker 3: starting on some things here, and let me ask you
Speaker 3: something did have you ever known how they're using quantum
Speaker 3: engineering in computer science these days?
Speaker 2: I imagine that's probably how they make their computer chips.
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, if you look at some
Speaker 2: of the computer chips, they look like tiny little cities,
Speaker 2: bro Like, it is pretty crazy looking at it, like
Speaker 2: the little motherboards and the memory chips, and you know,
Speaker 2: it's it looks like a tiny little you know, uh,
Speaker 2: like fairy city or some shit. Whenever you zoom in
Speaker 2: on it, it's pretty crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be honest with you. After doing all this
Speaker 3: research today, I know that I make the jokes about
Speaker 3: the Terminator movies, right, I get it. Sky Net's gonna
Speaker 3: take over the world. Yeah yah, yeah yeah, fine, Fine,
Speaker 3: should we really be worried about the advancements that technology
Speaker 3: has been really having? Because I'm gonna be honest with you,
Speaker 3: I don't honestly know. I've committed to the bit a
Speaker 3: few times. Fine, sure, and maybe some of that's been
Speaker 3: based in a kernel of truth, if you will, as
Speaker 3: everything is here. But I'm gonna be honest. I'm not
Speaker 3: shooketh but it's getting closer to that point for me, bro.
Speaker 2: Thou was shook If.
Speaker 3: I'm approaching shooketh I'm approaching it. It really depends on
Speaker 3: how There's a lot of prototypes out right now. There's
Speaker 3: a lot of things that we are able to buy.
Speaker 3: There's a lot of things that in the technology world,
Speaker 3: they're kind of still in their infancy, but they're they're
Speaker 3: starting to walk around a bit. They're not fully mature,
Speaker 3: but you could see where it's going. The writing's on
Speaker 3: the wall. And so with that mind, I'm gonna go
Speaker 3: ahead and let everybody know now that if you are
Speaker 3: not watching this, you're only hearing it, you need to
Speaker 3: come and check this out. There's gonna be a lot
Speaker 3: of video aids on this one, Jonathan. If they would
Speaker 3: like to see this with their eyes commercial free, they're
Speaker 3: tired of hearing all these ads. There's too damn much,
Speaker 3: I get it. Tell them where they can go.
Speaker 2: Well, if you want to be able to see it
Speaker 2: not only with your eyes, but possibly that third eye
Speaker 2: all the way open, then you go and check out Patreon,
Speaker 2: dot com slash Cult of Conspiracy podcast or rockfand dot
Speaker 2: com slash Cult of Conspiracy, both of those links, and
Speaker 2: down on the show that's below. I know that there's
Speaker 2: a lot of people that are probably complaining about all
Speaker 2: the commercials, and it's just, you know, that's just the
Speaker 2: way that it is. That's the way that it's going
Speaker 2: to be, and that if that's something that ruffles your feathers.
Speaker 2: Patreon and Rockfann are both of the places that you
Speaker 2: can go to listen and watch the show completely add
Speaker 2: commercial free, and it's the best way to be able
Speaker 2: to support the show. And as a matter of fact,
Speaker 2: we said, I believe I was supposed to go back
Speaker 2: and edit all of it out in the live show,
Speaker 2: but I couldn't find all of it. And I know
Speaker 2: that there was more of us talking about how we
Speaker 2: were gonna be going live on Wednesday night for the election.
Speaker 2: It's actually Tuesday night. That was an absolute brain fart
Speaker 2: on my behald. I don't know what dimension I was
Speaker 2: peering into whenever I thought that it was on a Wednesday,
Speaker 2: But no, nay, nay, it is on a Tuesday. So
Speaker 2: definitely come check us out. We are going live for
Speaker 2: the election Tuesday night, nine pm Central Time, and we're
Speaker 2: all gonna be live streaming it, watching it together because
Speaker 2: we know damn well, whenever we're watching it, whenever we're
Speaker 2: watching it we're watching the polls. Maybe it's a little
Speaker 2: bit closer, but uh, maybe a certain someone is a
Speaker 2: little bit more on top than the others. And then
Speaker 2: we're all gonna go to sleep, and we're all gonna
Speaker 2: be feeling pretty damn good. We're gonna be thinking, my god,
Speaker 2: I can't believe.
Speaker 3: Is it is it?
Speaker 2: Could it really be? Is it really that time? Are
Speaker 2: they really going to let him win? Let us all
Speaker 2: ponder these things together. Tuesday nights, nine pm Central Time,
Speaker 2: Live show. It's great. It's a it's a great community thing,
Speaker 2: and we love all the good cult members who have
Speaker 2: joined us so far.
Speaker 3: Indeed, indeed, and it is the best way to directly
Speaker 3: support the show. Now, let's let's check this out here.
Speaker 3: This is a hold on What the hell is that?
Speaker 3: All right? The race to harness quantum Computing's mind bending power.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Bloomberg. Get ready, brother, because I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna lie. Even in the field of study or the
Speaker 3: work that I used to do. I didn't know they
Speaker 3: had this dialed into this level. This is mind blowing. Brother.
Speaker 4: Headquarters for one of the oldest companies in tech, IBM.
Speaker 4: They've been inventing new computing technology here since the nineteen sixties.
Speaker 4: It's like the jetsums, it meets the Flintstones. Quantum scientist
Speaker 4: Olivia Lanes is showing me IBM's newest experimental machine.
Speaker 5: This big, shiny behemoth is IBM Quantum System too.
Speaker 4: Sounds like it's on. What is the big deal though?
Speaker 4: I mean, why not just build an ordinary sape of computer.
Speaker 5: It's a totally different avenue. It's not just supercomputers but better,
Speaker 5: or AI but more powerful. It's entirely different way of computing.
Speaker 4: The big difference is the computer's ability to harness the
Speaker 4: mysterious effects of quantum physics. Standard computers they calculate by
Speaker 4: using billions of time, a little on and off switches
Speaker 4: known as bits. Now, these things they're very reliable, they're
Speaker 4: very accurate, and they work together in sequence. So if
Speaker 4: you ask a standard computer to solve a maze, it
Speaker 4: will do so by checking through every possible path one
Speaker 4: by one until it finds a solution. Now, depending on
Speaker 4: the size of the maze, that could take seconds or minutes,
Speaker 4: or potentially, for really big maze, even years. A quantum computer,
Speaker 4: on the other hand, works a little bit differently. They're
Speaker 4: the bits are known as quantum bits or cubits, and
Speaker 4: rather than just being on or off a cubit, it
Speaker 4: can be held in something called a superposition, where it
Speaker 4: can be both on and off at the same time. Now, okay,
Speaker 4: I know that that doesn't really make a lot of sense,
Speaker 4: but unfortunately that is just how physics works down at
Speaker 4: the atomic level, So go with me. This bizarre ability
Speaker 4: of a cubit to be in two states at once
Speaker 4: means that a series of cubits can solve lots of
Speaker 4: calculations simultaneously. And so if you ask a quantum computer
Speaker 4: to solve a maze, it means it can consider all
Speaker 4: possible routes at once, giving you the answer in an instant.
Speaker 4: It could allow a quantum computer to complete in minutes
Speaker 4: computations so complex that it would take today's supercomputers millions
Speaker 4: of years. But that's not the only reason they're a
Speaker 4: game changer for science.
Speaker 5: I think what it really comes down to is that
Speaker 5: nature is quantum mechanical. When you get down molecular and
Speaker 5: atomic interactions. Nature does not obey classical physics, just a
Speaker 5: very crude approximation. And if we really want to understand
Speaker 5: how nature evolves in time, we have to have a
Speaker 5: system that obeys quantum physics.
Speaker 4: So I guess this finally gives us the opportunity to
Speaker 4: do simulations down at the level of atoms.
Speaker 6: And when you have that, I.
Speaker 4: Mean you can design drugs at the level of atoms,
Speaker 4: design materials, batteries, And we haven't had this before.
Speaker 5: We've never had that.
Speaker 7: I think when.
Speaker 4: Quantum computing comes up in conversation, people are excited about it,
Speaker 4: but they're excited about the amount of power it gives you,
Speaker 4: about how quickly you can do competitions, because Okay, sure
Speaker 4: all of that stuff might be true, but we should
Speaker 4: be thinking of this as though someone who's just invented
Speaker 4: the telescope, and all of a sudden we can see
Speaker 4: and understand things at a scale we just did not
Speaker 4: have access to before.
Speaker 3: Jonathan, Before we go any further, can I tell you
Speaker 3: that I thought of you when I started the video
Speaker 3: and was like, Okay, is this potentially where they blend
Speaker 3: the woo woo with the technological in a correct fashion?
Speaker 2: Oh babe, you thought about me?
Speaker 3: I did. I did.
Speaker 2: Indeed, this is actually we've we've touched on this a
Speaker 2: little bit in the past as far as you know,
Speaker 2: it doesn't work in ones and zeros. It works in
Speaker 2: ones and zeros and ones, and like the whole it's
Speaker 2: it's a weird kind of situation going on with quantum commuting,
Speaker 2: quantum computing and cubits and uh, you know what, there's
Speaker 2: also colored. Both of us shocked, shocked whenever I say this.
Speaker 2: But there was a black Mirror episode on this very thing.
Speaker 3: As well, was there?
Speaker 2: Of course, this is why people need to be fucking
Speaker 2: with some black mirror. Dude like it it it's it's
Speaker 2: all about what's going to be happening in the future.
Speaker 2: I know, I know some people may not be into
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, but that is like I feel
Speaker 2: like they have some kind of crystal ball on some
Speaker 2: rush shit.
Speaker 3: Sounding more prophetic the more time goes on. I can't
Speaker 3: tell you how many of these goddamn episodes we've done
Speaker 3: and you've mentioned that show and it's like, wait, whoa
Speaker 3: whoa hold on now one is one thing. This is
Speaker 3: like fifty episodes that we have done where black Mirror
Speaker 3: has come up. And I'm not saying that to throw shade.
Speaker 3: I'm saying it like I really need to watch this show.
Speaker 2: No, it's Netflix's version of Matt Groening from The Simpsons. Bro,
Speaker 2: that's really what's going on here, except for at a
Speaker 2: futuristic level. I mean, yeah, the Simpsons predicts a lot
Speaker 2: of the things in the future, but I'm talking about,
Speaker 2: like as far as the techie kind of stuff, dude,
Speaker 2: top notch.
Speaker 3: Wow, Okay, fair enough, it's pretty ad now with the
Speaker 3: tech world being what it is here quantum computing. It's
Speaker 3: talking about instantaneously being able to figure out out all
Speaker 3: of the information at once and being able to process
Speaker 3: it to find the correct answer every time without fail. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Now they're about to get into the environment that they
Speaker 3: need to make these chips. And I thought this was
Speaker 3: actually pretty wild too, But I just wanted to make
Speaker 3: a little pause break here to see what your thoughts were. Because,
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, we will be getting into the quantum realm.
Speaker 3: We will be getting into AI, we will be getting
Speaker 3: into advanced robotics. We will be getting into robots that
Speaker 3: you can buy for your home right now, right now,
Speaker 3: the Tesla bot is out. Oh We're going there, Ladies
Speaker 3: and gentlemen, just buckle up. This is a cult conspiracy.
Speaker 3: Modern Tech episode twenty twenty four, as we're getting closer
Speaker 3: to the end here, so thoughts before we go anymore
Speaker 3: for further.
Speaker 2: I'm excited to learn a little bit more about this.
Speaker 2: I love anything quantum, you know that, and especially down
Speaker 2: to that quantum level physics. It has its own set
Speaker 2: of laws, like it doesn't work this same way as
Speaker 2: it works in like bigger physics, not quantum, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 3: Like it.
Speaker 2: It's so strange how there's like different rules that govern
Speaker 2: the minute.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you said it like that too, because with
Speaker 3: the robotics, ladies and gentlemen, we will be talking about
Speaker 3: the macro and the micro. There is advanced nanobots that
Speaker 3: they are coming out with now that the metal is
Speaker 3: actually able to go closed or open like a valve
Speaker 3: depending on the temperature that it's in, and that's all controlled. Look,
Speaker 3: we're gonna get to We're gonna get to it. It's
Speaker 3: insane what they are doing currently, blowing your mind about
Speaker 3: what's happening in the the ever in the future year
Speaker 3: of twenty thirty that these people are screaming about like
Speaker 3: something drastic's happening with all of this going on, Brother,
Speaker 3: I believe.
Speaker 2: Them, which is only like five years away. Yeah, way,
Speaker 2: and like twenty thirty, that seems so futuristic, but it's
Speaker 2: only five years away.
Speaker 3: People. We need to be praying, we need to be
Speaker 3: preyed up, is all I'm saying. But with that being said,
Speaker 3: maybe the amist you're right, Maybe technology is all based
Speaker 3: in the Davil, and maybe this whole thing is just witchcraft.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean, you don't know until you know, I think,
Speaker 2: is what one famous philosopher once said.
Speaker 3: Somebody said that once it wrote on a bathroom wall.
Speaker 3: I believe that.
Speaker 2: I mean, there was another word added right there at
Speaker 2: the end, which you know, I'm not at liberty to say,
Speaker 2: but you know you're catching my drift.
Speaker 3: You're right, you're right. All right. Now let's get back
Speaker 3: to this because again, remember that year I just said,
Speaker 3: twenty thirty. Listen to what these people are getting into
Speaker 3: at this moment.
Speaker 4: That's the ambition. At least quantum computers cannot yet perform
Speaker 4: useful calculations better than a supercomputer, because in practice, getting
Speaker 4: even a handful of cubits to give you a reliable
Speaker 4: answer is for not really difficult.
Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, bro, look at that.
Speaker 4: This is IBM's lab where they test out new hardware,
Speaker 4: a place where we can see the guts of the machine. Oh,
Speaker 4: that is extraordinary.
Speaker 6: It looks like inside.
Speaker 3: Yeah, what are we looking at them?
Speaker 5: I think a lot of people have a slight misconception
Speaker 5: and they see, you know, this whole gold, shiny thing.
Speaker 5: They think this is a quantum computer. That's actually not true.
Speaker 5: This is the quantum computer. So this tidy little thing, right,
Speaker 5: this is the Heron ship. This is the one hundred
Speaker 5: and thirty three cubits that I am holding in the
Speaker 5: palle of my hand.
Speaker 7: How much does that work?
Speaker 3: A lot?
Speaker 7: Don't drop it.
Speaker 5: I'm going to try.
Speaker 4: The chip contains the cubits that carry out the computation,
Speaker 4: and it's fair to say they're a little fussy.
Speaker 5: We're trying to change the energy state of the cubit
Speaker 5: I mean zero and one in a very controlled way.
Speaker 5: So any type of outside energy that might change it
Speaker 5: slightly in a way except for what we're trying to do,
Speaker 5: will break your algorithm and give you the wrong answer.
Speaker 4: Outside energy includes any heat. To preserve the delicate quantum
Speaker 4: state of the cubit, the chip must be kept extremely cold.
Speaker 4: This tangle of gold plated pipes and wires is in
Speaker 4: fact a cooling system that chills the chip to just
Speaker 4: above absolute zero.
Speaker 5: For comparison, the cosmic microwave background in space is way warmer.
Speaker 5: That's orders of magnitude warmer.
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness.
Speaker 5: So it is the coldest thing in the non universe.
Speaker 4: Which is incomprehensively cold.
Speaker 5: But these guys like it.
Speaker 4: They don't like it. Focus on your work, stop paying
Speaker 4: attention to any of the energy around you. That's right,
Speaker 4: IBM say they'll unlock quantum's full potential by twenty thirty.
Speaker 3: Twenty thirty three.
Speaker 2: Brother, it's not that far, dude, I mean less than
Speaker 2: a decade, and uh, we don't even necessarily fully get
Speaker 2: and like we don't understand exactly what all this entails.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, there's gonna be dreams and you know, uh,
Speaker 2: forecasts of what maybe to come. But technology is advancing
Speaker 2: at such a rapid level right now that what even
Speaker 2: what they're thinking right now will be outdated in a year.
Speaker 2: Like that's how crazy.
Speaker 3: This quantum computer is gonna make that even quicker.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's uh, it's pretty sketchy, dude.
Speaker 3: Now, what did you think about the comparison that she said,
Speaker 3: you have to get this chip at just above absolute
Speaker 3: zero in order for it to you be used correctly.
Speaker 3: So it's any outside energy, including heat, like an extra
Speaker 3: point zero one degree celsius around it will throw off
Speaker 3: the cubit's ability to perform their function. What are your
Speaker 3: thoughts on this?
Speaker 2: I mean, I get it. I perform better in the cold, too, So.
Speaker 3: That's how that's fun.
Speaker 2: I was thinking. I was like, I feel you, buddy.
Speaker 3: Well, okay, think about it on the quantum level, okay,
Speaker 3: but in the physical world, that is a microchip, a
Speaker 3: actual piece of plastic and silicon and some metal bits
Speaker 3: that are wired in a correct faction. That's a piece
Speaker 3: of hardware that she was holding in her hand. But
Speaker 3: in order for that piece of hardware to function correctly,
Speaker 3: it has to be at damn near absolute zero, right right.
Speaker 3: That's fucking wild because the quantum atomic level of the
Speaker 3: components of that chip won't function properly. That is that
Speaker 3: blows my well.
Speaker 2: I think everybody. Everything does kind of have a temperature,
Speaker 2: though if you really think about it, yeah, like that
Speaker 2: sub zero or rate at zero temperature is a little
Speaker 2: bit odd. It's not really what we're used to seeing
Speaker 2: things like greatly perform at But like you think about it,
Speaker 2: like when you cook a turkey, it has to be
Speaker 2: a certain temperature on the inside. Why does it have
Speaker 2: to be one hundred and sixty degrees or whatever whenever
Speaker 2: it's fully cooked. Why is it that temperature that allows
Speaker 2: us to eat it? Why can't it be eighty or
Speaker 2: you know, whatever the temperature of our skin is or
Speaker 2: something like that. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: And so to kill the bacteria.
Speaker 2: No, I get that. I'm just saying that, like it
Speaker 2: seems that like there's always a certain particular temperature for
Speaker 2: really everything.
Speaker 3: It's just like I mean, in the world of electronics, right,
Speaker 3: and again because of what I used to do. We
Speaker 3: used to go around with a infrared gun and we
Speaker 3: would have to take temperature measurements of these big bus bars,
Speaker 3: which is basically where high high high voltage like is
Speaker 3: bolted together with other high high voltage like actual hard
Speaker 3: bars of copper, and they connect in that way, and
Speaker 3: we have to hit that with a heat gun to
Speaker 3: make sure that that connection point hasn't gotten too hot
Speaker 3: and can suffer a failure or melts, because that happens
Speaker 3: from time to time. So I understand at least the
Speaker 3: thought process of like a big old computer puts off
Speaker 3: a lot of heat, so you have to have a
Speaker 3: beefed up HVAC system to keep cold air on it
Speaker 3: to keep it running at a normal temperature. I get
Speaker 3: that out loud. For one component of the computer to
Speaker 3: have to run at zero, that is like that actually
Speaker 3: blows my electrician mind.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's probably so that it, you know,
Speaker 2: like how you kind of how you said right there,
Speaker 2: so that it doesn't overheat because it is processing information
Speaker 2: at levels of which we don't have any other technology
Speaker 2: that can process at that level. So it's performing great,
Speaker 2: like crazy advanced levels of performance there, yes and no.
Speaker 3: Okay, so yes, you're right, it is for the performance
Speaker 3: of it, but like it's not suffering a cashtrophic failure
Speaker 3: being in her hand right now. The components aren't so
Speaker 3: weak that they can't take higher heats, but they have
Speaker 3: to keep it that low because the way that the
Speaker 3: electron atoms move within that chip can be thrown off
Speaker 3: by that kind of change. Like that is the nano
Speaker 3: level that has gone into making this run the way
Speaker 3: that it runs. And it's like, how how did you
Speaker 3: even come up with the thought on that.
Speaker 2: Shit freaking math is mathing over there, dude.
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely so, all right, and that is the level
Speaker 3: of meticulous care that is going into quantum computers. Now.
Speaker 3: They say they don't have one now, but they will soon, right,
Speaker 3: they will soon. And you know it's not something that
Speaker 3: just America is after. This is ibm of ads, so
Speaker 3: to speak, this this video, but China is on the
Speaker 3: hunt for this too. Now we're going to talk about
Speaker 3: them here to actually I believe right now.
Speaker 4: Oh, the United States maintains supremacy in the development of
Speaker 4: quantum computers that its biggest rival is fast catching up.
Speaker 8: Chijudila chin Chin and trunk Yuman shin kujibunwe.
Speaker 3: Chinja real quick. This is a video from Beijing, China,
Speaker 3: October sixteenth, twenty twenty two, and h maybe basically Jijiping
Speaker 3: is talking about how this is a part of their
Speaker 3: core technologies and a part of national importance for Chinaishu Gunjenda.
Speaker 4: China are betting big. They've invested over fifteen billion dollars,
Speaker 4: more than three times any other country. They have dozens
Speaker 4: of new research institutes committed to quantum and hold more
Speaker 4: than half of all patterns in quantum technology.
Speaker 7: Hey, hi, there are you doing?
Speaker 4: Security expert Arna Perglici has been advising the US government
Speaker 4: on how not to fall behind.
Speaker 8: China really does view science and technology as a national asset.
Speaker 8: It talks about not leading, not just leading, but dominating
Speaker 8: in these key areas.
Speaker 4: Does the US not see science as a national asset
Speaker 4: as well?
Speaker 8: I don't think we have the same kind of comprehensive
Speaker 8: strategic plan that brings together our facets of society and
Speaker 8: really has that longer term investment. What we are facing
Speaker 8: is it's not an even and level playing field. Our
Speaker 8: researchers are essentially up against the funding of a nation state.
Speaker 4: What are we talking about here in terms of the
Speaker 4: magnitude of difference of funding.
Speaker 8: Some examples that folks have given me is, okay, I
Speaker 8: have a lab. I have five to six, maybe four
Speaker 8: to six graduate students in my lab at any given time.
Speaker 8: There the covalent labs have you know, fifty one hundred
Speaker 8: graduate students are post ducks.
Speaker 4: The US is hitting back.
Speaker 3: I've made sure the real quick, real quick before old
Speaker 3: Sleepy Joe speaks on it. Just want to throw this out,
Speaker 3: Like I've said before, China has been strategic in what
Speaker 3: they are doing. They understand that their numbers are not
Speaker 3: going to be there in twenty years, so they are
Speaker 3: investing their manpower in certain areas.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 3: To hear that the quantum labs are that heavily staffed
Speaker 3: and that heavily pushed in China at this moment, I
Speaker 3: find to be very interesting. We will continue on China
Speaker 3: in just a minute, but just want to throw that
Speaker 3: out that it's that's also a weird little little thing
Speaker 3: to throw out there.
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, they're waging today's money for tomorrow's future
Speaker 2: and whenever you can get a whole country behind that.
Speaker 2: It's a little bit different over there in China because
Speaker 2: it's communists. So literally all of the money that you know,
Speaker 2: the the citizens of China or I wonder what is
Speaker 2: the is there a tax bracket for China? Like how
Speaker 2: does their whole like work system work? Like does the
Speaker 2: government get have three quarters? How does that work? In communists?
Speaker 3: The government gets all of it and gives them back
Speaker 3: the portion that the government thinks they deserve.
Speaker 2: Oh okay, yeah, so so there you go. Unlimited unlimited
Speaker 2: fund money basically is what they have and whenever you're
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, it's it's fucking China. Of course they're
Speaker 2: going to do that. But if you think about it,
Speaker 2: all the money that we're allocating to all these other
Speaker 2: countries that could be allocated towards working more profusely on
Speaker 2: you know, the advancement of AI. That seems to me,
Speaker 2: that seems to me that you would want to have
Speaker 2: control a fucking robot coop before before Chinaman does it.
Speaker 3: I agree, I absolutely agree. Now let's hear what old
Speaker 3: sleepy Joe, Old China Joe himself has to say on it,
Speaker 3: and we're gonna we're gonna stop in it for a
Speaker 3: quick nolitatorial afterwards.
Speaker 9: Here we go, most advanced American technologists can't be used
Speaker 9: in China.
Speaker 10: And thanks Start Chips and Science Act, the United States
Speaker 10: is investing more in research and development than ever before.
Speaker 4: Whoever is the first to realize the potential of quantum
Speaker 4: computers will wield incredible power. But it's a double edged
Speaker 4: sword because a world with quantum computers will wield incredible power.
Speaker 4: But it's a double edged sword because a world with
Speaker 4: quantum computers could be a world without secrets.
Speaker 3: All right, real quick, before we continue, now, China has
Speaker 3: been creeping up in this market. Okay, yeah, just this market.
Speaker 3: We're gonna talk about a couple of other ones here later,
Speaker 3: I promised you. But it's just interesting that as we
Speaker 3: keep talking about the AI race, we keep talking about
Speaker 3: the data race, we keep talking about the crypto race,
Speaker 3: and the bricks versus the USD and all these other
Speaker 3: things going on. You could see that in way more
Speaker 3: ways than what we've originally thought. The lines are being drawn,
Speaker 3: you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, for sure. I mean this is it's
Speaker 2: crazy how like advance we're really talking here, Like I
Speaker 2: think that we don't even fully understand the magnitude of
Speaker 2: everything that like these advanced computers can do. I mean
Speaker 2: you're literally talking about, like the woman said earlier, what
Speaker 2: you know, the certain patterns that it would take to
Speaker 2: figure out something that what a quantum computer can do
Speaker 2: would take possibly millions of years for a basic computer
Speaker 2: to figure out. Like and it's not just a basic
Speaker 2: computer like you talk about, Like all right, I have
Speaker 2: an iMac. I bought it, and I bought it this year.
Speaker 2: It's pretty powerful, it's pretty strong. I like it a lot.
Speaker 2: This is like, this is a baby compared to a
Speaker 2: full grown like reptilian compared like when we're talking about
Speaker 2: this advance like fucking AI computing. Dude, it's crazy.
Speaker 3: So Jonathan, with that in mind, ooh, I'm so glad
Speaker 3: you brought that back up. So let's talk about something
Speaker 3: that we as like realistically we need to be concerned with.
Speaker 3: Let's talk a little encryption. Now, do you know how
Speaker 3: encryption works? Have you ever actually looked into that? I have.
Speaker 2: We went over it whenever John McAfee was talking about
Speaker 2: how unreliably unsafe it is.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, yes, And the reason why that is is
Speaker 3: because it's only a matter of time before it gets broken.
Speaker 3: Encryption doesn't mean it's locked away forever. It just means
Speaker 3: that there's like a code put in front of it,
Speaker 3: there's a a gateway that needs a key, and it's
Speaker 3: only a matter of time before they pick the lock.
Speaker 3: It will slow it down tremendously. And if you're smart
Speaker 3: about it and you're using like a series of encryptions,
Speaker 3: then it doesn't matter because you'll constantly be on the move.
Speaker 3: They'll find more walls that will you know, block them.
Speaker 3: It's all good, but with the realm of quantum computing,
Speaker 3: You see where that could be a problem. This little
Speaker 3: documentary here goes in talks about this more in depth.
Speaker 3: You want to learn how encryption and secrets really can
Speaker 3: be broken down, Jonathan, I do. Let's learn.
Speaker 4: Pretty much all Internet communication is based on scrambling it
Speaker 4: using a secret code, otherwise known as encryption, and a
Speaker 4: lot of it uses a very clever mathmascular trick involving
Speaker 4: prime numbers.
Speaker 3: We do.
Speaker 4: You take two prime numbers, let's say seventeen and thirty one,
Speaker 4: and then you multiply them together to give you a code,
Speaker 4: in this case five hundred and twenty seven. Now that
Speaker 4: bit very straightforward, very easy for computers to do that
Speaker 4: multiplme numbers together. What is much harder is if you
Speaker 4: only have the long number, working out what those two
Speaker 4: secret primes were the only way that you can do
Speaker 4: this with classical computers is by checking through all the
Speaker 4: prime numbers just to see if they work one after
Speaker 4: the other after the other. A common type of encryption
Speaker 4: RSA uses prime numbers that are hundreds of digits long.
Speaker 4: To crack those codes, it would take a conventional computer
Speaker 4: trillions of years. That's really the obstacle of encryption it's
Speaker 4: not this impossible, just takes a really really long time.
Speaker 4: This is where quantum computing comes in because quantum computers
Speaker 4: using superposition can simultaneously run numerous calculations at the same time,
Speaker 4: can take something like this down to being crackable within
Speaker 4: just a few minutes.
Speaker 3: Well what are your thoughts on that, sir?
Speaker 2: I kind of figure that that's where it was going
Speaker 2: to be going, because it's it's it's it's power to
Speaker 2: be able to solve certain problems. Are there's in no
Speaker 2: time you're solving these problems. So yeah, I kind of
Speaker 2: figured that, you know, if you're going to be a
Speaker 2: certain country, a certain state, maybe a certain political person
Speaker 2: running for presidency that wants to crack certain encryptions to
Speaker 2: find certain secrets hidden.
Speaker 3: Within certain laptops, possibly.
Speaker 2: Dare you say, yeah, I think that this absolutely can
Speaker 2: be used as weaponry, and obviously.
Speaker 3: It will be. But also this is why it's so
Speaker 3: important that America holds dominance because you understand for defense purposes,
Speaker 3: for military purposes, how iant encryption really is. Right.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well they were talking about superposition, right, Like,
Speaker 2: think about superposition just for one second. Like the idea
Speaker 2: that you can have access to every other possible solution.
Speaker 2: You like, you see it already. It's not that you
Speaker 2: have to even work at figuring it out. It's that
Speaker 2: you're over you're overseeing literally every possible solution at one
Speaker 2: time and then just cracking it that way. It's it's
Speaker 2: it in my I mean to me, it kind of
Speaker 2: sounds like it's a little bit easier in that sense
Speaker 2: because you're talking about like it's I don't know it,
Speaker 2: Like I'm not even gonna try and sound smart because
Speaker 2: it all sounds really fucking complicated.
Speaker 3: But I think it's mind blowing, dude.
Speaker 2: At the core of it. It is fascinating, regardless if
Speaker 2: it's good or evil. Like, the the way that people
Speaker 2: have figured this out is crazy.
Speaker 3: Right, absolutely, I agree, But that's that's what I'm saying, dude.
Speaker 3: The quantum mechanics, the quantum universe wasn't even a real
Speaker 3: time talking point until what would Einstein.
Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, less than one hundred years ago.
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, dude, Like, we didn't even have
Speaker 3: the correct scope to have the conversation about this. When
Speaker 3: she said earlier that this is like literally when they
Speaker 3: developed the telescope and they are for the first time
Speaker 3: ever able to look at everything through a whole new
Speaker 3: perspective and through a whole new lens. That's literally what
Speaker 3: this is. And again that's I'm not saying that's a
Speaker 3: direct negative. That's incredible for so many reasons. But when
Speaker 3: you put it to the realm of military arms race,
Speaker 3: when you put it to the realm of supercomputers in
Speaker 3: cyber warfare, when you put it to the realm of
Speaker 3: being on the offensive, it can go deadly. Let's hear
Speaker 3: a little bit about that now.
Speaker 4: So security can sense here is that ultimately where the
Speaker 4: big worry is.
Speaker 11: That's probably the number one area that we should be
Speaker 11: concerned about, because you know, state actors are most likely
Speaker 11: going to target national security kind of infrastructure to scrape
Speaker 11: and decipher information. State secrets will be uncovered, You'll know.
Speaker 6: Who all the spies are.
Speaker 11: You'll know who all the spies are. If you suddenly
Speaker 11: lose that secrecy and that security, then it causes all
Speaker 11: sorts of vulnerabilities on a personal level, on a national level,
Speaker 11: from a security perspective, from a commercial perspective, and so
Speaker 11: you know, this is a big, big deal.
Speaker 4: HSBC say that doing nothing is simply not an option.
Speaker 4: The bank has been testing a way to secure its
Speaker 4: data against an attack from quantum computers.
Speaker 12: Internet data today is sent by laser pulses in an
Speaker 12: optical fiber.
Speaker 4: This is doctor Andrew Shields, head of quantum technology for Teshiba.
Speaker 12: In general, fiber networks are very secure, but they are
Speaker 12: vulnerable to topping. If I introduce a small band into
Speaker 12: the fiber, you can see some of the light is
Speaker 12: not leaking out, and actually hawk can use that. They
Speaker 12: can introduce a small band to top out some of
Speaker 12: the light and measure that to recover the data.
Speaker 4: So that's all you need then is just access to
Speaker 4: the cable.
Speaker 12: Indeed, it's very straightforward.
Speaker 3: Good, okay, real quick. This is another level where it's
Speaker 3: interesting that the quantum level is what's being talked about
Speaker 3: here because that bend actually makes the molecules act differently.
Speaker 3: They're about to break it down, but I just wanted
Speaker 3: to mention this is another time when I was like,
Speaker 3: oh my god, Jonathan's gonna fucking love this.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, of course a bend is going to have
Speaker 2: some kind of effect on it because even the like
Speaker 2: the temperature of the chips is going to have an
Speaker 2: effect on the performance. Of it too. You know, it's
Speaker 2: any slight little thing is going to expose it all.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's very true. And I even remember, dude,
Speaker 3: all right. I don't think many people have ever seen
Speaker 3: do that like or know much about what fiber optic
Speaker 3: cable really is. It is long tubes of glass that
Speaker 3: is coated and rubber with plugins on either end. And
Speaker 3: all it's doing is sending bits of light to and
Speaker 3: from and that light is then received and taken as data,
Speaker 3: as bits of information. That's how electrical signals are sent.
Speaker 3: And when you bend them cables and you could snap them,
Speaker 3: you could break fiber optic cable and then people like
Speaker 3: me had to come and run new shit. It was
Speaker 3: a pain in the ass, but that can happen. And
Speaker 3: even when you're not talking about fiber on an electric level,
Speaker 3: when you talk about small current, we would used to
Speaker 3: have to leave a loop in the wire before we
Speaker 3: would go into an instrument. We had to then take
Speaker 3: that out because those loops were throwing off the minute
Speaker 3: milli vault amperage or the milli vault signal that was
Speaker 3: going to and from. And when you're talking about things
Speaker 3: and echines of water or something like super small measurements.
Speaker 3: That loop matters, So even on just the electric scale,
Speaker 3: we know that this matters on the fiber optic scale.
Speaker 3: This is how they tap it, dude, This is how
Speaker 3: hackers get in checks out.
Speaker 6: Goodness.
Speaker 4: May Andrew has built a device that utilizes the strange
Speaker 4: world of quantum physics to send data in a way
Speaker 4: he claims can never be hacked. It's called quantum key distribution.
Speaker 3: This is it.
Speaker 4: This is it.
Speaker 12: Yes, What this box is doing is that sending single
Speaker 12: photons through an optical fiber into the BT network, and
Speaker 12: we use that to form encryption keys, and those encryption
Speaker 12: keys are then being used as secure data cent between
Speaker 12: here and the data center in Berkshire.
Speaker 4: The device generates a secret code using single particles of
Speaker 4: light photons sent one at a time down a fiber
Speaker 4: optic cable. A fundamental law of quantum physics is that
Speaker 4: if you observe a photon, you change its quantum state,
Speaker 4: and that means that if an eavesdropper tries to intercept
Speaker 4: the key, the code will be changed, rendering it unusable.
Speaker 4: The device already uses telecom company BT's existing fiber network
Speaker 4: to send sensitive files across London to a data center
Speaker 4: over thirty miles away. Tell me about the operation that
Speaker 4: you're sending using this method it open then, So.
Speaker 12: In the case of HSBC, it's financial data. But we've
Speaker 12: done other trials with hospitals, for instance, where they've been
Speaker 12: sending medical scan data, or with governments where they've been
Speaker 12: sending some government data.
Speaker 4: Do you feel the sense of urgency for companies and
Speaker 4: even though we're not quite there yet with quantum computers.
Speaker 12: Yes, they absolutely are. There's an increasing realization that the
Speaker 12: quantum computer is coming.
Speaker 4: How far away do you reckon it is?
Speaker 12: Well, now that's a very differ a good question to answer.
Speaker 12: Why was a betting mom? Maybe I would say five
Speaker 12: to seven years.
Speaker 3: Five to seven years, bro, Yeah, it sounds about right,
Speaker 3: I mean, And what did you think about the quantum talk? Bro?
Speaker 3: The basic law is that if it's observed, it will
Speaker 3: act differently. They are using that now to ensure that
Speaker 3: the message that is trying to be sent gets there
Speaker 3: untampered with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I like those laws. They are very interesting.
Speaker 2: Whenever something is looked at, it's the observer effect that
Speaker 2: it changes its quantum state. And thus you know in
Speaker 2: this in this state, it's not necessarily only changing it,
Speaker 2: but it's sending a signal saying that it has been observed.
Speaker 2: And so everything that it's going to be doing moving
Speaker 2: forward is going to be different than what the different
Speaker 2: than how it was designed to flow.
Speaker 3: Science has backed the theory. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: This is trackable. There's data saying that, no doubt, like
Speaker 3: even light photons will because of the laws of quantum mechanics,
Speaker 3: you can now tell if this is a hacked signal
Speaker 3: or not, therefore rendering it useless. This secures the encryption fault, right,
Speaker 3: But also is there a way to counter it? Is
Speaker 3: there a way to use the law of quantum mechanics
Speaker 3: against that? I mean, look there there, we're just now
Speaker 3: figuring out this bit, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, And and to me, I'll be I mean
Speaker 2: not that I'm not already impressed as far as the
Speaker 2: observer effect, like the double slit experiment literally happening right here,
Speaker 2: but like the idea of even taking it farther whenever
Speaker 2: you're talking about spooky action at a distance and quantum
Speaker 2: entanglement and shit like that, Like it'll make you wonder
Speaker 2: how they're going to you know, like weave that in there.
Speaker 3: Oh, you know they're gonna. You know they're gonna and
Speaker 3: it's ah, That's why I was saying when I was
Speaker 3: watching this, I'm like, dude, Jonathan's gonna get a kick
Speaker 3: out of this. I didn't even mean to find this shit.
Speaker 3: I was looking for new tech as of the year
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four and I stumble on this. I'm like,
Speaker 3: wait a minute, if they're doing what with what now?
Speaker 2: It's pretty badass, Like this is very interesting. This is
Speaker 2: one of the We've covered a lot of AI and
Speaker 2: computer stuff in the past, but like just knowing that
Speaker 2: they're getting into covering like the quantum math dude, and
Speaker 2: getting into the like like those physics that govern at
Speaker 2: the tiniest little level, it is just so cool to
Speaker 2: see it, like actually put into technology that way.
Speaker 3: It's wild. It's wild. Let's learn a little bit more
Speaker 3: about this and uh then we're gonna move on to
Speaker 3: the next topic of the technological talk.
Speaker 4: Well progress than others in twenty sixteen.
Speaker 3: Charn Oh wait a minute, wait a minute, yeah, I
Speaker 3: wanted to I wanted to preface this one. Let's talk
Speaker 3: about how they're using quantum computers in space if we
Speaker 3: are to believe that space is not faking gay, if
Speaker 3: we're not to believe that Jerry still believe that it is,
Speaker 3: then we do, in fact need to acknowledge what this
Speaker 3: quantum computing is going to be doing for satellites and
Speaker 3: what countries are already using them currently.
Speaker 2: Bro, Jerry is still out on space being fake and
Speaker 2: or gay. But I mean, the technology doesn't seem to
Speaker 2: be fake or gay, so Amy maybe one of them.
Speaker 3: Let's see.
Speaker 4: China shocked the world by launching a satellite capable of
Speaker 4: sending quantum keys over far greater distances than fiber optics.
Speaker 4: It's part of a wider quantum network that China has built,
Speaker 4: connecting banks, government and industry across the country. As Commonisy
Speaker 4: examinations scrambling.
Speaker 3: To catch up Singapore.
Speaker 4: On the gleaming streets of Singapore, the quantum revolution has
Speaker 4: found fertile ground. Scientists here want to build an unhackable
Speaker 4: network that can be commercialized so anyone can use it.
Speaker 4: Professor Alexander Ling runs the Center for Quantum Technologies at
Speaker 4: the National University of Singapore, a government funded group of
Speaker 4: scientists working on all sorts of quantum technology. They told
Speaker 4: me that I would get to see some nanosatellites. Okay,
Speaker 4: I think this is even more nano than I was expecting.
Speaker 4: This is over two hundred times lighter than China's quantum satellite. Okay,
Speaker 4: tell me about the experiment. Then what's the big game.
Speaker 13: The big goal over here is we want to build
Speaker 13: a global network where we can actually distribute quantum signals
Speaker 13: around the world. We can distribute quantum signals using optical fiber,
Speaker 13: except that there's a distance limit to it. We can't
Speaker 13: repeat those quantum signals. So we think that if you
Speaker 13: have satellites with optical fiber networks, you can actually build
Speaker 13: a more comprehensive network around the wall.
Speaker 4: So then when you send up a rocket, you presumably
Speaker 4: have a number of days in sort.
Speaker 13: Of Yes, yes, What we're doing in Singapore is to
Speaker 13: test whether similar technology can go on much smaller satellites.
Speaker 13: You can imagine that if it works, you can have
Speaker 13: a feat of smaller satellites that's more cost effective, and
Speaker 13: then mix the deployment of such a system more likely.
Speaker 4: His plan is to fire single photons into space and
Speaker 4: back again via a network of satellites and telescopes. These
Speaker 4: quantum keys would provide unhackable global communications. So this is
Speaker 4: your fancy photon catcher.
Speaker 3: That's right.
Speaker 13: This is a telescope that's going to receive the signals
Speaker 13: from the satellite.
Speaker 4: Long distance communication is just one part of Professor Ending's work.
Speaker 4: They also collaborate with US and Chinese companies.
Speaker 13: Quantum technology was developed in ever when international relations are small, relaxed,
Speaker 13: and put it that way. You know, it started in
Speaker 13: the you know, late eighties, early nineties, and everyone was
Speaker 13: open to you know, having an exchange of people and
Speaker 13: ideas at that time.
Speaker 4: Has that design for collaboration continued or has it been
Speaker 4: sort of shut down a bit more because of the
Speaker 4: geopolitical situation we find ourselves in.
Speaker 13: I think definitely everyone is aware that there's tension, geopolitical tensions,
Speaker 13: and people from time to time talk about export controls
Speaker 13: and things like that. Everybody, you know it seems to
Speaker 13: have high expectations for when quantum technology will deliver you know,
Speaker 13: those benefits. You come in with controls too early, before
Speaker 13: a lot of problems are worked out, you are probably
Speaker 13: going to be pushing the you know, the date of deployment,
Speaker 13: the date when you see those benefits much further into
Speaker 13: the future.
Speaker 4: I'm kind of squashing the innovation as it's happening.
Speaker 3: Okay, So as we move on to the next topic here,
Speaker 3: let's let's kind of uh give our thoughts on the
Speaker 3: whole quantum computing bit. Jonathan, tell me what you're thinking.
Speaker 2: I'm uh, I think that as as the years move forward,
Speaker 2: that if this was an inevitability, like just like I
Speaker 2: thought that AI wasn't inevitability. There we go. That's kind
Speaker 2: of a long word to be saying, but.
Speaker 3: I think it was.
Speaker 2: It was all inevitable, and it was only just a
Speaker 2: matter of time until these things were going to happen,
Speaker 2: and eventually technology in some form or fashion would be
Speaker 2: governing not only our lives, but just are I guess
Speaker 2: just literally the matrix kind of itself. Like, I think
Speaker 2: that what's going to be going on here is that
Speaker 2: if you send all this shit up to space, whether
Speaker 2: if it's fake or gay or maybe both, it might
Speaker 2: be opening up a door that you know, because they
Speaker 2: didn't they send out like radio signals to the universe
Speaker 2: trying to communicate with aliens and stuff like that. Well
Speaker 2: if instead instead of doing it like that harsh kind
Speaker 2: of way, if you're able to send this whole fucking
Speaker 2: thing up. I don't know what to really expect from that.
Speaker 2: Like I think that probably a lot of people wouldn't
Speaker 2: really know. I mean, it's not necessarily to communicate without
Speaker 2: a space that's for sure, no no.
Speaker 3: No, But think it's like satellite communications but better and
Speaker 3: faster and unhackable. Yeah, I mean because that little satellite.
Speaker 3: Think about this, that one rocket that goes up into
Speaker 3: space that could be carrying thousands of those little things
Speaker 3: that gets deployed all over and think of like starlink
Speaker 3: but faster, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Right, Well, ultimately, where ultimately where this could go very
Speaker 2: wrong is whenever I think that this is whenever whenever
Speaker 2: they're trying to employ like the the new ways of
Speaker 2: governing in the future with you know, they're they're watching
Speaker 2: your face, they're watching your expressions, they're they're watching everything
Speaker 2: that everything that you say or do or you know,
Speaker 2: it's going to be reading your thoughts obviously, Like that's
Speaker 2: for sure going to be happening. And I think that
Speaker 2: ultimately these little computers are going to be governing the people.
Speaker 2: And that's where you're really going to get the social
Speaker 2: credit score, because if you really think about it, the
Speaker 2: amount of data that has to be stored. As far
Speaker 2: as like a true actual social credit system, it would
Speaker 2: take a supercomputer like this that.
Speaker 3: Would be able to talk to computer.
Speaker 2: It would it would have to take a quantum computer
Speaker 2: because there's there's not enough storage on the planet that
Speaker 2: is going to remember every single detail the way that
Speaker 2: the quantum computer would about each individual person.
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree. But now, all right, let's talk
Speaker 3: about quantum computing here in a little bit. Right, let's
Speaker 3: put that on the back burner. We've done a little
Speaker 3: talk on it. We've gone down that rabbit hole, and
Speaker 3: don't you worry, it will be coming up again. But
Speaker 3: I also was thinking to myself as I was learning
Speaker 3: about all of these quantum computer chips with all these
Speaker 3: have to be at zero or damn near absolute zero
Speaker 3: to even run properly in all this like all right,
Speaker 3: that takes electricity, right, that takes power. And in this
Speaker 3: day and age when they keep talking about going green,
Speaker 3: everything's about carbon footprint, everything's about greenhouse gas and dot
Speaker 3: dot dot dot dot. We can't hear shit else without it. Right,
Speaker 3: this laboratory, with that supercomputer running that's super cold, that
Speaker 3: took a lot of energy. It took a lot of power.
Speaker 2: So I started thinking a lot of oil, probably.
Speaker 3: A lot of oil, a lot of coal, a lot
Speaker 3: of burning of fossil fuels to make that happen. I
Speaker 3: still don't believe that oil comes from necessarily exploding dinosaurs.
Speaker 3: I think it's a cool thought, though, so I'm going
Speaker 3: to continue to run with it. But neither here nor there. Right,
Speaker 3: the wells keep filling up. If it was dinosaurs, it
Speaker 3: wouldn't be there doing that. Okay, There'll only be so
Speaker 3: many dinosaurs. That's all I'm saying. But talk for another day.
Speaker 3: I guess people ain't ready for that conversation. Depends on
Speaker 3: where you're at anyway. That being what it is, it's
Speaker 3: not like this industry booming, this quantum computer industry booming
Speaker 3: would be bad for big oil. That would actually kind
Speaker 3: of be good for them in a lot of ways,
Speaker 3: or big coal or whatever else. But the big thing
Speaker 3: that we keep hearing about is that lithium ion battery, right,
Speaker 3: that is the new way, and I am a super
Speaker 3: fan of the graphene battery. I think we need to
Speaker 3: put more eggs in that basket to do more research
Speaker 3: on it. But Jonathan, what if I told you that
Speaker 3: they came up with a battery to run off of water.
Speaker 2: I think that, uh, that would be a great idea.
Speaker 3: Well, let's talk about that, and uh, as we talk
Speaker 3: about that quantum computer, let's talk about certain batteries that
Speaker 3: are now going to be available to possibly run it
Speaker 3: in certain degrees that we're going to talk about possible
Speaker 3: ways here in a minute too, here we go.
Speaker 6: Batteries are crucial to the functioning of our society. They're
Speaker 6: in our phones, there, in our computers, are cars, well
Speaker 6: nearly every other piece of critical infrastructure that makes modern
Speaker 6: life possible. But while they afford us the luxury of
Speaker 6: storing and transporting electrical energy, they've brought about their own
Speaker 6: set of problems, namely the extraction of the resources that
Speaker 6: needed to make them. One of the most concerning of
Speaker 6: these is lithium, a crucial component for the type of
Speaker 6: battery used in electric vehicles. Lithium mining is no easy task,
Speaker 6: and it requires the use of chemicals like sulfuric acid
Speaker 6: and sodium hydroxide, which can poison the local ecosystem lead
Speaker 6: to the diversion of huge quantities of local freshwater to
Speaker 6: forestation and a whole lot else. In fact, while electric
Speaker 6: cars themselves drastically reduce emissions compared to additional combustion engines,
Speaker 6: their production is actually more polluting. On top of this,
Speaker 6: lithium sources aren't endless, and like with any other resource,
Speaker 6: eventually the cost of lithium extraction is going to climb
Speaker 6: as newer methods are needed to reach deeper or more
Speaker 6: challenging reserves. Alongside lithium ion batteries are several other types
Speaker 6: with various uses around the world, such as alkaline, lead, acid,
Speaker 6: and nickelcadium, all of which come with their own advantages
Speaker 6: and disadvantages. All of this is why finding a more
Speaker 6: sustainable or cheaper resource for batteries would have far reaching
Speaker 6: benefits for the world and resolves of the future of
Speaker 6: things like mobile of ISIS transportation, and the efficiency of
Speaker 6: solar panels, which is exactly what two teams have accomplished
Speaker 6: this year, one in Australia and the other in China.
Speaker 6: The team from Australia, led by researchers from the Raw
Speaker 6: Melbourne Institute of Technology, have developed what they call recyclable
Speaker 6: water batteries. In every battery you need a positive vent
Speaker 6: called the cathode and a negative vent called the anode,
Speaker 6: and an electrolyte that connects the two and turns chemical
Speaker 6: energy into electrical energy. Usually the electrolyte is hazardous materials,
Speaker 6: such of sulfuric acids in the case of lead acid batteries,
Speaker 6: and this is why you're not supposed to throw most
Speaker 6: types of batteries in the trash with the rest of
Speaker 6: your household ways as it composed problems to its disposal
Speaker 6: location down the line. The Australian teams breakthrough is that
Speaker 6: their prototype batteries electrolyte is noner than water with a
Speaker 6: little bit of salt in it. They're calling their invention
Speaker 6: an aqueous metal ion battery, and the advantage here is
Speaker 6: that once the water based electrolyte has run out of charge,
Speaker 6: it can easily be removed and replaced, potentially prolonging the
Speaker 6: batteries lifespan indefinitely. Water based electrolytes don't pose the risk
Speaker 6: of chemical pollution that lead acid batteries do, and they
Speaker 6: don't carry the risk of intense fires that lithium art
Speaker 6: batteries do. Not only that, but they're also much cheaper.
Speaker 6: So far, the team has created prototypes of several small
Speaker 6: scale batteries, such as double A and the small cell
Speaker 6: type batteries found in watches. Each battery contains the potential
Speaker 6: to be recharged at least five hundred times, and have
Speaker 6: shown to retain eighty percent of their capacity after more
Speaker 6: than seven hundred charging cycles. One of the keys to
Speaker 6: maintaining its capacity is the team's innovative use of rust. Normally,
Speaker 6: over the life span of a battery, tiny metal spurs
Speaker 6: called dendrites will form on the anode, which can eventually
Speaker 6: reduce the batteries effectiveness and its ability to hold a charge.
Speaker 6: The team stopped their formation by coating their anode in
Speaker 6: a thin layer of bismuth, after which they allowed it
Speaker 6: to oxidize or rust, preventing the spurs from forming in
Speaker 6: the first place. Meanwhile, a team in China has come
Speaker 6: up with a different solution. Calcium Scientists from food A
Speaker 6: University and ounced in February twenty twenty four that they
Speaker 6: had created a calcium based battery that could handle seven
Speaker 6: hundred charging cycles. Calcium is far more abundant than lithium.
Speaker 6: It's about two five hundred times more abundance on its
Speaker 6: I'm making up about four percent of the Earth's crust,
Speaker 6: and it's the third most common metal. If the number
Speaker 6: of recharging cycles can be improved, as well as their
Speaker 6: size and overall power, this on its own promises are
Speaker 6: much cheaper alternative to lithium armed batteries. That there's another
Speaker 6: aspect of calcium that makes it even more attractive. It
Speaker 6: turns out the calcium batteries are highly flexed, and its
Speaker 6: creators demonstrated that small scale models could be built into
Speaker 6: thin fabrics, potentially giving us a glimpse of next generation
Speaker 6: wearable devices disguised as everyday clothing. On top of this,
Speaker 6: there is some hope for one specific variance, the calcium
Speaker 6: oxygen battery, which theoretically would have the highest total capacity
Speaker 6: and energy density. These batteries would take oxygen out of
Speaker 6: the air to use his power, which would be an
Speaker 6: incredible technological lead, But unfortunately, these systems aren't stable at
Speaker 6: room temperature, so they require far more energy to maintain
Speaker 6: than they can currently deliver. Regardless, with twenty twenty fours
Speaker 6: announcement of water and calcium batteries, the future of energy
Speaker 6: is looking pretty optimistic.
Speaker 3: Jonathan, what are your thoughts, sir?
Speaker 2: I mean all right, so you're not allowing the cathods
Speaker 2: to really rust over time, and you're introducing calcium, which
Speaker 2: ultimately is a little bit safer for the environment. That's
Speaker 2: always the big worry and the big concern whenever you're
Speaker 2: talking about anything electrical is about the environment and how
Speaker 2: to dispose of them and stuff like that. That's always, like,
Speaker 2: you know, whenever they get into the pros and the
Speaker 2: cons for the Tesla batteries, it's usually well, you know,
Speaker 2: they're actually causing a lot more harm to the environment
Speaker 2: because whenever you throw them away, there's no way to
Speaker 2: really dispose of them. And I guess if you're looking
Speaker 2: at this, maybe it makes the disposal the disposal of
Speaker 2: them a little bit more safe while also extending the
Speaker 2: life of the battery through the use of calcium. Right, well,
Speaker 2: I mean not even that.
Speaker 3: I mean yes, yes to that point. Also it's safer
Speaker 3: to the disposal. But also they're rechargeable. Bro Like, after
Speaker 3: seven hundred charges they were still able to hold eighty
Speaker 3: percent of their capacity. That is insane. Now, yeah, it's
Speaker 3: done to small scale now, but they're gonna build that up.
Speaker 3: They're gonna scale that up. And if that's a realistic
Speaker 3: thing that can be maintained. Dude, to talk about just
Speaker 3: recharging batteries from solar panels, like any type of recharge,
Speaker 3: and you're able to just use this battery damn near indefinitely,
Speaker 3: especially if that's like a car battery. Some shit, bro.
Speaker 2: I think that the further we advance into the future,
Speaker 2: the more we're going to figure out that Mother Nature
Speaker 2: already has a built in crazy system and if we
Speaker 2: can just learn from it, you know, in kind of
Speaker 2: like these weird ways about how we talk about the
Speaker 2: mycelial networks and whatnot, But like it seems like that
Speaker 2: there's a lot of like components and compounds of the
Speaker 2: Earth already makes that it's already it's it's working up
Speaker 2: to its function, and whenever we start to really understand
Speaker 2: it's communion with all the rest of the elements of
Speaker 2: the earth and shit like that. I don't know, Like
Speaker 2: that's that's the way my mind thinks.
Speaker 3: We're taking lithium off and we're using calcium, which is
Speaker 3: now a much more abundant and readily available resource. I
Speaker 3: agree with you one hundred percent. Mother nature gives us
Speaker 3: all this cool shit, and we're using it to its
Speaker 3: correct potential one hundred percent, not to mention interestingly enough,
Speaker 3: and I didn't know that China was gonna butt its
Speaker 3: head into that video either when I started watching it,
Speaker 3: but like, okay, shocker that yet again China has a
Speaker 3: lab working on this new type of water powered battery,
Speaker 3: just throwing it out there, and of course that means
Speaker 3: it's being funded, rammed and opt just over the shoulder,
Speaker 3: watched by the CCP, because that's how China does business.
Speaker 3: It's interesting, you know.
Speaker 2: You know, I I start to think about shit like this,
Speaker 2: and I know that you know, nobody's here is for communism,
Speaker 2: but like if you really look at it all right,
Speaker 2: so pretty much the entire country over there, if you
Speaker 2: look at it on a technological scale, it makes more
Speaker 2: sense for the advancement of like certain technologies. Whenever essentially,
Speaker 2: you know, like over the United States and non communist countries,
Speaker 2: you're essentially having like lobbyists that are are trying to
Speaker 2: work these things rather than like, I know that there's
Speaker 2: a leader over there, and if that leader says, yes,
Speaker 2: let's fund it, then it seems to be a little
Speaker 2: bit easier. And that's kind of like the thing that
Speaker 2: Obama and Biden have made reference to in the past.
Speaker 2: Is that you know, they're able to advance at like
Speaker 2: crazy speeds because there isn't a lot of red tape
Speaker 2: because you don't have left versus right, there is only
Speaker 2: one you heard that video.
Speaker 3: They have blended the corporatetocracy, the military industrial complex, and
Speaker 3: the government into one unit. That's how communism runs. Now. Yeah,
Speaker 3: for the output of it, Yeah, you have a slave population.
Speaker 3: You can make shit happen overnight, and like that's always
Speaker 3: been China's benefit is that they could lose a million
Speaker 3: people right now and not worry about it. Their economy
Speaker 3: wouldn't really be affected that much. If anything, they'd have
Speaker 3: less mouths to feed. But now they're at a point
Speaker 3: where they've capped themselves off that number. That big advantage
Speaker 3: of theirs is about to be out the window. So
Speaker 3: as technology is advancing, it's just I'm just saying I
Speaker 3: didn't even expect trying to make another appearance in the video,
Speaker 3: but then that one came up, and I'm like, you know,
Speaker 3: I know, I'm just a conspiracy theorist professionally and all,
Speaker 3: but like god, damn dude, obviously China is the bad guy. Here,
Speaker 3: or at least from our perspective. But anyway, all of
Speaker 3: that to say, all that to say, we haven't even
Speaker 3: gotten to the AI side of shit yet. We're going there,
Speaker 3: but just talking more about the current technology available to
Speaker 3: us in twenty twenty four, looking at these things went
Speaker 3: down the computer rabbit hole in my own little add brain.
Speaker 3: Then I started looking at those batteries. That was a
Speaker 3: weird little add offshoot. But that battery conversation in my
Speaker 3: own head to me myself, and I right, it just
Speaker 3: couldn't sit. I couldn't let it ride because I felt
Speaker 3: like I was missing something like, all right, batteries that
Speaker 3: can hold a charge better, that's awesome. I mean, everything
Speaker 3: about life could be better in that regard. We use
Speaker 3: so much electricity. But I feel like there's a dark
Speaker 3: underbelly lurking somewhere here. So on a weird, weird just
Speaker 3: shot out of a cannon. I was curious about humanoid robots,
Speaker 3: just you know, because all right, here's why. A buddy
Speaker 3: of mine locally in town Pelican Pawd as a matter
Speaker 3: of fact, in Gonzale, Suisiana. If anybody's around the area,
Speaker 3: go check him out. My boy, Austin Love You to death.
Speaker 3: He had a Chinese waiter robot in his shop for
Speaker 3: like a year because nobody could afford to buy it.
Speaker 3: And by a waiter robot, I mean it literally was
Speaker 3: just it didn't have legs. It was wheeling around itself.
Speaker 3: It had a little led light smiley face, and it
Speaker 3: carried a tray and that's all it did. It was
Speaker 3: like to carry around or derves at a party or
Speaker 3: some shit. It was for like three thousand dollars. Nobody
Speaker 3: could buy that shit, and like, okay, whatever. But that
Speaker 3: was more of a gimmicky type of robot, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, that's like a glorified I wanted to
Speaker 3: know as of the coming to the election year the
Speaker 3: end of twenty twenty four all of that, what do
Speaker 3: we have in the way of humanoid robots? Jonathan, when's
Speaker 3: the last time you looked into.
Speaker 2: This humanoid robots? I think maybe a couple of years ago.
Speaker 2: Like I don't really because I know that it seems
Speaker 2: to be like a bit of an obscure talking point.
Speaker 2: I know that, you know, back in the eighties, that's
Speaker 2: what everybody was worried about, was the robots are going
Speaker 2: to take over the world. But as as time moves on,
Speaker 2: you know, it seems that less about the robots taken
Speaker 2: over the world and more about the AI, which I
Speaker 2: guess could inhibit its own body into a robot.
Speaker 3: Oh we're gonna get there. Oh you're jumping the gun.
Speaker 3: But just before we talk about what kind of AI
Speaker 3: could possibly be on a quantum computer that is battery
Speaker 3: operated with water batteries that last for fucking ever into
Speaker 3: robots that could destroy humanity. Just just before we get there,
Speaker 3: Before we get there, let's take a look at the
Speaker 3: current robot models that could be doing such things. Brace yourself, homie,
Speaker 3: because I didn't know that this was really that deep,
Speaker 3: that these many things were available to us, or they
Speaker 3: were this priced. Some of these have no price tag
Speaker 3: on them. Some of them have a price tag on
Speaker 3: that we will be talking about it.
Speaker 2: Are you ready, I'm braced, All right, let's do this.
Speaker 14: Figure two robot is an advanced humanoid robot developed by
Speaker 14: Figure Ai. It's the second generation of the company's humanoid robots,
Speaker 14: following their first model, the Figure one. This new model
Speaker 14: is designed to perform a variety of tasks autonomously thanks
Speaker 14: to cutting edge artificial intelligence and robotics technology. First up,
Speaker 14: let's talk about the design and build. The Figure zero
Speaker 14: two has a sleek, modern design with a matt blackfinish,
Speaker 14: standing at around five six inches and weighing about one
Speaker 14: hundred and fifty four pounds. It's built to match human proportions.
Speaker 14: What's really impressive are its hands. They've got sixteen degrees
Speaker 14: of freedom, allowing the robot to perform complex human like
Speaker 14: time with ease. And now moving on to technological advancements,
Speaker 14: Figure two incorporates in videos, Omniverse, and GPU technologies, which
Speaker 14: boost its AI capabilities significantly. Plus, it features a second
Speaker 14: in video RTXGPU based module offering three times the inference
Speaker 14: gains compared to the earlier model. This makes it capable
Speaker 14: of handling fully autonomous real world tasks without breaking a sweat.
Speaker 7: And then next up, we've got battery and power.
Speaker 14: The Figure two's battery capacity is fifty percent larger than
Speaker 14: the Figure one, which means it can operate for longer
Speaker 14: periods in real world environments. The battery is also cleverly
Speaker 14: integrated into the torso, optimizing the robot's center of mass
Speaker 14: for better agility and movement when it comes to AI,
Speaker 14: and interaction. Figure two really shines. It was developed in
Speaker 14: partnership with OpenAI, using custom AI models that enhance its
Speaker 14: conversational abilities. The robot also has six RGB cameras for
Speaker 14: visual perception, enabling it to handle tasks like obstacle avoidance
Speaker 14: and hand eye coordination seamlessly. Lastly, let's talk about industrial applications.
Speaker 14: Figure zero two has already been tested in industrial settings
Speaker 14: like BMW's Spartanburg production line, improved its capability by handling
Speaker 14: complex manufacturing tasks think inserting sheet metal parts with precision.
Speaker 14: As for commercial viability, Figure AI is planning to roll
Speaker 14: out Figure zero two across various industries. The goal is
Speaker 14: to address labor shortages and boost productivity, especially in manufacturing, logistics, warehousing,
Speaker 14: and even retail environments. And now, lastly, Figure AI sees
Speaker 14: three major business opportunities that could shape the future of
Speaker 14: robotics in the long term. First, let's talk about physical labor.
Speaker 14: According to Figure AI, fifty percent of global GDP around
Speaker 14: forty two trillion dollars comes from human labor. This presents
Speaker 14: a massive opportunity for robots to take on physically demanding tasks,
Speaker 14: transforming industries like construction, manufacturing, and logistic. Next is the
Speaker 14: consumer household sector. With two point three billion households worldwide
Speaker 14: and seven hundred million people in their aging population, there's
Speaker 14: growing demand for robots in at home care and household tasks.
Speaker 14: Figure AI ses robots playing a crucial role in assisting
Speaker 14: with daily chores and caregiving, addressing the needs of the elderly,
Speaker 14: and improving quality of life. And then there's off world.
Speaker 14: As space exploration continues to evolve, Figure AI envisions humanoid
Speaker 14: robots helping build new worlds. From constructing habitats on Mars
Speaker 14: to working in extreme environments, these robots could be key
Speaker 14: players in the future of space exploration. Each of these
Speaker 14: areas offers distinct opportunities. Physical labor tasks are more structured
Speaker 14: and predictable, making them ideal for automation. On the other
Speaker 14: end of the spectrum, space exploration is less structured, filled
Speaker 14: with variability, and requires more advanced robotic capabilities. Figure AI
Speaker 14: sees humanoid robots as central to addressing these challenges and
Speaker 14: shaping the future across multiple indistes.
Speaker 3: All right, so real quick. The figure O two model
Speaker 3: robot available for purchase right now. I might add Jonathan
Speaker 3: real quick, what are your thoughts.
Speaker 2: I'm just I you know, I think about the crazy
Speaker 2: woo woo. I guess kind of weird shit, but like
Speaker 2: if you wait, what, well, I'm I'm just thinking that
Speaker 2: this is probably what the gray Aliens, like the baby
Speaker 2: version of the Grays were, Oh wow, okay, which is
Speaker 2: funny because they're already gray and they essentially what they're
Speaker 2: doing is you know, the whole idea around the gray
Speaker 2: Aliens that is that they're not actually like they're not
Speaker 2: actually real aliens or real people or whatever. They're essentially
Speaker 2: just the robotic versions of those aliens that are traveling
Speaker 2: because these bodies are easy, like more easy to dispose of.
Speaker 3: You know, It's okay.
Speaker 2: But anyway, you know, looking at this, because it's already
Speaker 2: talking about using it in a space exploration.
Speaker 3: Well they already used it in the BMW factory. Like
Speaker 3: that was a real experiment that was done. They had
Speaker 3: a robot do an entire workload and it did it efficiently.
Speaker 3: So let me break this down for you what this means.
Speaker 3: You saw the video and for the rec any cult
Speaker 3: member listening not watching, yo, now is the time to
Speaker 3: come to Patreon. I'm just saying, there's a very interesting
Speaker 3: look at the real world of robotics that I swear
Speaker 3: I didn't know we had it like this already, And
Speaker 3: this is the beginning. It's gonna get wild here in
Speaker 3: a minute. But hold on, hold on, this is already
Speaker 3: readily available for purchase. Jonathan, hear me out. Get guess,
Speaker 3: please guess what you think is worth right now? Retail value?
Speaker 2: Oh? Man, Well, I would have to know a little
Speaker 2: bit more about its capabilities, but just showing that the
Speaker 2: limited things that we do know that it can do,
Speaker 2: I would say probably upwards of at least half a million.
Speaker 3: Half a million at least. Just then, what if I
Speaker 3: told you that you could own this robot right now
Speaker 3: for twenty thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Get the fuck out of here. I'd say, I'd buy
Speaker 2: that motherfucker. Well, oh, I don't have twenty grand, but
Speaker 2: if I did, I would buy it.
Speaker 3: It is completely tied in with AI and this company's
Speaker 3: whole artisanal AI. You see what I'm saying. It it's
Speaker 3: integral to it, only it's a bitch and a half
Speaker 3: to deal with. But my point is it's already been
Speaker 3: used in a factory setting. Now, how many workers at
Speaker 3: manufacturing jobs in America? Do you think will be replaced
Speaker 3: by this one time purchase of twenty k? And yeah
Speaker 3: there's maintenance. Yeah, it's gonna be slower than a human
Speaker 3: doesn't matter. You don't have to pay this. Robots benefits,
Speaker 3: you don't. You don't have to worry about it being sick.
Speaker 3: It's twenty four to seven running itself on AI.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, there is no paying it over time.
Speaker 3: There's no overtime, there's no sick pay, there's no holidays,
Speaker 3: there's no insurance. It's a fucking robot. Dude, this will
Speaker 3: ruin so many people's careers it's not even funny. The
Speaker 3: American auto industry proof gone.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I understand that argument. I do, And I definitely understand
Speaker 2: the argument on behalf of the people in the corporations,
Speaker 2: like the people that help build those corporations, you know,
Speaker 2: And that's that's a bit of a bitter pill to swallow.
Speaker 2: But I mean, dude, technology is always advancing, and you know,
Speaker 2: there's there's pros and cons on both sides of it.
Speaker 2: Like there's a lot of jobs that nobody fucking wants
Speaker 2: to do, you know, like fair and like who wants
Speaker 2: to work at McDonald's, Like do you do you? Could
Speaker 2: you imagine right now? Thirty what are you? Thirty two?
Speaker 2: Thirty three year old.
Speaker 3: Bro Alwen got taco about a day and it was
Speaker 3: served to me by somebody that was like clearly in
Speaker 3: their late forties early fifties, and it's like, bro, where
Speaker 3: where did you go so wrong? Like what chain of
Speaker 3: events led into your life to get to this point?
Speaker 3: But then it's like also and from not a place
Speaker 3: of judgment for the record, from a place of like
Speaker 3: this dude was clean cut and you could tell that
Speaker 3: he at one time he had a job, like a
Speaker 3: real career, and it's like you never know people's story.
Speaker 3: You never know people's walks and how they got to
Speaker 3: the place that they're at, and like whatever, maybe this
Speaker 3: is his dream job and he's like on the way
Speaker 3: to being a franchise e, Like I don't know, I
Speaker 3: don't know, but it's just like, man, what are you doing?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Well? I mean just on that point alone, I mean
Speaker 2: that's what I'm trying to say. Who wants to work
Speaker 2: at Taco, Bell, Burger, King, Family dollar like shit like that,
Speaker 2: Like whenever you're getting paid absolute minimum wage, I think
Speaker 2: that you start at the minimum wage jobs first, as
Speaker 2: far as these robots, and you know, because who's surviving
Speaker 2: on minimum wage anymore? Like it's still seven twenty five,
Speaker 2: Like I mean, at least in you know, a lot
Speaker 2: of states. I know that other states have like boosted
Speaker 2: up a little bit Arizona, California, that kind of shit
Speaker 2: where they boost it up to like ten fifteen sometimes.
Speaker 2: But but yeah, I would say it's a pro and
Speaker 2: a con. I don't want people to lose their jobs.
Speaker 2: I don't want people to you know, have food taken
Speaker 2: off their table and shit like that. But ultimately, like
Speaker 2: it would be nice to not even have to do
Speaker 2: those kind of jobs anymore for just the everyday person,
Speaker 2: because it's it's something that you know, I don't know's
Speaker 2: I have. I'm battling with it in my own head
Speaker 2: because I see that as the good and the bad.
Speaker 3: There's pros and cons to it. I get that. But
Speaker 3: at the same time, this is a conspiracy show. And
Speaker 3: as we are clearly seeing, I robot is happening in
Speaker 3: real time. Okay, there's real shit. This is ain't even
Speaker 3: the Terminator movies. This is twenty twenty four. But anyway,
Speaker 3: I digress. This is only robot one on the list.
Speaker 3: We have a few to get through on this one,
Speaker 3: let's continue.
Speaker 14: Industries introducing the GR two, an advanced humanoid robot developed
Speaker 14: by four EA Intelligence designed to enhance human robot interaction.
Speaker 14: The GR two is a significant evolution from its predecessor,
Speaker 14: the GR one, which focused primarily on assisting elderly individuals
Speaker 14: with mobility and daily care tasks. Now, let's take a
Speaker 14: look at the key features. First, let's talk about the
Speaker 14: advanced aisystem. The GR two is equipped with an AI
Speaker 14: driven brain that uses neural networks to mimic human cognitive processes.
Speaker 14: This means it's not limited to just pre programmed tasks.
Speaker 14: It can learn and dynamically adapt to its environment, making
Speaker 14: it much more versatile in a variety of situations. Next
Speaker 14: is its emotional intelligence, which is one of the most
Speaker 14: groundbreaking aspects of the GR two. It can detect and
Speaker 14: respond to human emotions by analyzing facial expressions, voice tones,
Speaker 14: and other nonverbal cues. This allows the robot to interact
Speaker 14: with people in a way that feels more natural and comfortable,
Speaker 14: enhancing the overall user experience. When it comes to perception
Speaker 14: and navigation, The GR two features a camera based pure
Speaker 14: vision system with six RGB cameras that provide a three
Speaker 14: hundred and sixty degree view. This system allows it to
Speaker 14: generate bird's eye view images for real time object identification
Speaker 14: and tracking, ensuring safe and accurate navigation in complex environments.
Speaker 14: The GR two also boasts improved dexterity and teleoperation. Compared
Speaker 14: to the GR one, it has more dexterous hands and
Speaker 14: can even be taeley operated via virtual reality. This makes
Speaker 14: it adaptable for a wide range of environments, from household
Speaker 14: settings to industrial sites. In Homerses stance, it can help
Speaker 14: with daily chores, provide care for the elderly, and even
Speaker 14: offer companionship by learning user preferences and routines over time.
Speaker 14: In medical and rehabilitation settings, the GR two can assist
Speaker 14: with patient care and therapy, continuing Fourier's commitment to medical robotics.
Speaker 14: For industrial use, its ability to learn and adapt makes
Speaker 14: it perfect for dynamic environments where conditions are constantly changing.
Speaker 14: It can take on repetitive tasks or those requiring high
Speaker 14: precision overall. The GR two by four y eight Intelligence
Speaker 14: is a versatile humanoid robot that combines advanced cognitive capabilities
Speaker 14: with emotional intelligence. Its positioned to be a game changer
Speaker 14: in fields like healthcare, home assistance, and industrial automation.
Speaker 3: The one. All right, what are your thoughts on that one, Sar?
Speaker 2: I mean, it all seems just interesting to me. I
Speaker 2: think that, Like I said, I think that it was
Speaker 2: all inevitable anyway, we're just kind of seeing the future unravel.
Speaker 3: It's not a pretty site. Now they have robot that
Speaker 3: can correctly respond to human emotions. They're talking about using
Speaker 3: it in wellness centers, like bro. If I was to
Speaker 3: wake up from surgery and that fucker was to speak
Speaker 3: to me, I would probably lose my mind. I would
Speaker 3: be scared shitless.
Speaker 2: I you know, I'm I'm looking at it less doom
Speaker 2: and gloomy, mainly because like, oh, I don't know, I
Speaker 2: just think it looks.
Speaker 3: Cool, Jonathan. Everything's hackable. Keep this in mind, So if
Speaker 3: a robot that has no feelings and does not care, Like,
Speaker 3: all right, have you ever been near rotating equipment?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And I don't mean just like like you're running your car.
Speaker 3: I mean like, have you ever been working on something
Speaker 3: while it was running and it was rotating and you
Speaker 3: had to have that real conversation with yourself of like, Okay,
Speaker 3: I have to keep my hands free and clear of
Speaker 3: that because if it goes in there, it's not an
Speaker 3: oopsie's that thing does not care about my finger. You
Speaker 3: want to do what? You see what I'm saying, this robot,
Speaker 3: with all this advanced AI, if one thing wants to
Speaker 3: go wrong, if one thing told it to hurt somebody,
Speaker 3: there's nothing that could be done to stop it. That's
Speaker 3: a real problem. And they're trying to make it emotionally
Speaker 3: more compatible to humans. This is an inherent negative on
Speaker 3: all fronts.
Speaker 2: I'm I think that I've been brainwashed, because I believe
Speaker 2: you have. Because one of my favorite movies of all
Speaker 2: time is Real Steel. I've talked about that plenty of
Speaker 2: times before. And yeah, you're not fighting these robots and
Speaker 2: shit like that, but.
Speaker 3: I would love to see robot fighting, like to do that,
Speaker 3: to have these robots fight each other to the death,
Speaker 3: that would be sick. But understand, they're using AI and
Speaker 3: we're already on the cusp of sentient AI. You see
Speaker 3: what I'm saying. This is not a good sign, sir.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I totally get it. But also at the
Speaker 2: same time, I mean, look, we all have Internet routers
Speaker 2: in our house. You know, we all have computers and
Speaker 2: TVs and cell phones.
Speaker 3: The government counting constantly.
Speaker 2: They're constantly watching, constantly listening to every conversation. They also
Speaker 2: have the ability to send certain shock waves to your
Speaker 2: phone or certain.
Speaker 3: I don't know, uh don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know the terminology, but I know for sure
Speaker 2: that they have the capability of sending some kind of
Speaker 2: frequency through your router that wouldn't necessarily be good for you.
Speaker 2: So I think that, like, I think that all this
Speaker 2: shit already exists. It's just that you're now you're looking
Speaker 2: at it in like an actual physical form.
Speaker 3: In a sense, the router is a physical form, dude.
Speaker 3: This is inviting technology literally into your home and again
Speaker 3: in the workplace, in an industrial environment, and in possibly
Speaker 3: space exploration, possibly war zones. Like Okay, I understand the
Speaker 3: concept behind why you would want this. This is like
Speaker 3: think of a drone that's on the ground. This could
Speaker 3: be used for and I see that as well, But
Speaker 3: there's a reason why that hasn't been done already. But again,
Speaker 3: I'm jumping the gun. I'm jumping the gun. We will
Speaker 3: get there, I promise you now, for the uh, the
Speaker 3: foury AGR two that was the robot we were just
Speaker 3: talking about. There is no price points set at this time,
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna tell you no. That one though, was
Speaker 3: for twenty thousand. Understand that the ranges for these vary drastically,
Speaker 3: and we'll talk about that here in a minute. This
Speaker 3: one also there's no price points set for it yet.
Speaker 3: But uh, let's learn about the NEEO or the Neo
Speaker 3: Robot twenty twenty four release.
Speaker 2: Of course it's called X huh, I said, of course
Speaker 2: it's called NEO.
Speaker 3: I didn't. I didn't do that, But at the same time,
Speaker 3: it was funny to me too, I see it, you know. Anyway,
Speaker 3: The one X Neo Here we.
Speaker 14: Go NEO is a humanoid robot developed by one X Technologies,
Speaker 14: a company focused on creating intelligent humanoids for domestic use.
Speaker 14: Neo is designed to function seamlessly in home environments, performing
Speaker 14: toss with human like dexterity and intelligence. Let's dive into
Speaker 14: some key features and aspects of the Neo robot. First off,
Speaker 14: Neo is all about human like dexterity. It's equipped with
Speaker 14: five fingered hands that give it a level of precision
Speaker 14: uncommon in many other robots. This means it can handle
Speaker 14: delicate tasks like picking up fragile items such as wineglasses
Speaker 14: or eggs with ease. Next, there's the bio inspired design.
Speaker 14: Instead of using traditional rigid hydraulics, Neo has actuators that
Speaker 14: mimic human muscles. This design gives it smooth, graceful movements,
Speaker 14: making it safe and natural when interacting with humans. In
Speaker 14: terms of intelligence, Neo uses embodied learning. This combines robotics
Speaker 14: with AI, allowing Neo to learn from its surroundings and
Speaker 14: continuously improve its skills. It can understand natural language commands
Speaker 14: and adapt to different tasks as needed. Neo stands at
Speaker 14: one hundred and sixty five centimeters tall and weighs around
Speaker 14: thirty kilograms. This makes it one of the lighter humanoid
Speaker 14: robots on the market. When it comes to mobility, Neo
Speaker 14: can walk at speeds of up to four kilometers per
Speaker 14: hour and can even run speeds reaching twelve kilometers per hour.
Speaker 14: Now safety is a priority for domestic robots, and Neo
Speaker 14: is no exception. It features soft, compliant construction with padded areas,
Speaker 14: ensuring safe interactions with humans. This makes it suitable for
Speaker 14: use around children and pets. One stand up feature is
Speaker 14: Neo's ability for nonverbal communication. It can interpret gestures, body language,
Speaker 14: and voice commands without needing specific verbal instructions, making interactions
Speaker 14: feel more natural and intuitive. Currently, Neo is in the
Speaker 14: beta phase. Limited units are being deployed in selected homes
Speaker 14: for research and development purposes as the company works to
Speaker 14: refine its capabilities before a broader release. Looking ahead, one
Speaker 14: X Technologies plans to scale production at their factory in Moss, Norway.
Speaker 14: Their goal to make Neo a common presence in consumer
Speaker 14: households within a few years. All in all, the one
Speaker 14: X Neo represents a major step forward in humanoid robots
Speaker 14: for home use, focusing on safety, adaptability, and smooth human
Speaker 14: like interaction.
Speaker 3: Okay, it is meant to be used around children and
Speaker 3: sit in your home, and it's also meant to read
Speaker 3: body language rather than just verbal cues. So if the
Speaker 3: robot does something wild as hell, oopsie, it just misread
Speaker 3: the body language of the child when it ripped it
Speaker 3: in half.
Speaker 2: But okay, whatever, I still want one. Dude, these things
Speaker 2: look fucking sweet.
Speaker 3: I mean, don't get me wrong. Yes, it's a really
Speaker 3: cool toy, but also that I would rather the Actually
Speaker 3: I love pitbulls. I was about to make a horrible
Speaker 3: statement say I'd rather pit bull around my baby, but
Speaker 3: actually I would love to have a pit bull around
Speaker 3: my baby. They're nanny dogs. This robot is a soulless
Speaker 3: bit of lights and clockwork, as a guy in a
Speaker 3: movie named I robot once said, and powered by AI
Speaker 3: with the potential of quantum computing to be able to
Speaker 3: tell me what I need before I think it, and
Speaker 3: then force it upon me because it's for my own good.
Speaker 3: I'm good.
Speaker 2: We don't know if it's gonna be upon you. It
Speaker 2: could be as something as harmless as think about Rosy
Speaker 2: the robot from the Jetsons.
Speaker 3: Bro.
Speaker 2: It could be just like that here.
Speaker 3: Bro. We don't know. We don't know.
Speaker 2: What's gonna be happening here.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, you're right, you're right now Again, there's
Speaker 3: no price points set on this one as of now,
Speaker 3: or at least not that I could find. It's still
Speaker 3: in the beta stage as of this time at twenty
Speaker 3: twenty four, but be on the lookout for it now.
Speaker 2: I guess boy, the way I look at it is
Speaker 2: is that we already have all this other technology in
Speaker 2: our house. And yes, I mean I know that all
Speaker 2: that data is being sent back to probably a lot
Speaker 2: of people that you don't want to receive it.
Speaker 3: It's not the data, bro, My toaster can't strangle me
Speaker 3: in the night. What what?
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you're gonna power the fucking thing off, dude?
Speaker 3: Oh oh, because it can't turn itself back on?
Speaker 2: I mean, can your TV turn itself back on? Sure,
Speaker 2: it's smart.
Speaker 3: Yeah it can. That's my point. And with AI being
Speaker 3: controlled from another location, or even being sentient and controlling itself, yeah,
Speaker 3: I see that as a real problem. Brother.
Speaker 2: See, I know that we've gone into a lot of
Speaker 2: this sentient AI kind of stuff.
Speaker 3: Or how about if it gets itself in a way
Speaker 3: to where it's like, no, I'm not gonna allow you
Speaker 3: to turn me off?
Speaker 2: You know, and that these are all possibilities.
Speaker 3: But that's what I'm saying, Bro, it's not even like it.
Speaker 3: Once again, it's they're so concerned if they can they
Speaker 3: never stop to ask if they.
Speaker 2: Should, right, Jeff Goldbloom. But no, I understand the hesitation.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I think the man not good.
Speaker 3: Deny. It's cool as fuck, though, like for real.
Speaker 2: Right, like imagine me and you were still in the
Speaker 2: studio together in the same state. Right, How sick would
Speaker 2: it be to have one of these fuckers walking around
Speaker 2: being like, hey, robot, O, grab daddy and beer, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean?
Speaker 3: But I would be fucking with it too. I' break
Speaker 3: it just from the shit that I would do to it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you would be night fighting it or some bullshit.
Speaker 3: Oh abso fucking lutely. I would be bashing. I would
Speaker 3: be putting it in armor to protect the components, and
Speaker 3: I would be practicing my sparring on it.
Speaker 2: There you go, there's a positive use. That's thinking with
Speaker 2: your depstick, Jimmy.
Speaker 3: But then it would grab an axe and return fire
Speaker 3: and it wouldn't stop whenever I tapped out because it's
Speaker 3: a robot. So like, once again, I wouldn't fuck with it.
Speaker 3: I don't do it, dude, Yeah you don't.
Speaker 2: You don't get the first version of these babies, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like you you wait until other
Speaker 2: people kind of go through the whole process. It's like
Speaker 2: the same people that get neurolink. It's like you want
Speaker 2: to be that first guy getting the first one. I
Speaker 2: I'm I mean that first guy. I guess it's allegedly
Speaker 2: working out pretty well for him actually, But now at
Speaker 2: the same time, I'm good, I'm good. I already got
Speaker 2: all these other thoughts that are roaming through my mind
Speaker 2: that I'm trying to figure out which your mind and
Speaker 2: which I'm receiving from the fucking ether. You know what
Speaker 2: I mean. I don't need a robot or AI telling
Speaker 2: me what to think and whatnot.
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree, And again, the robots are coole
Speaker 3: as fuck. But I'm very hesitant and honestly terrified of
Speaker 3: these fuckers having quantum computers in them and then also
Speaker 3: having the most advanced AI in them. But well, let
Speaker 3: me have number three on this list.
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, would you rather have one of
Speaker 2: these robots in your house or would you rather have
Speaker 2: neurlink built within your head?
Speaker 3: Neither?
Speaker 2: If you had to pick one.
Speaker 3: The robot, because at least I could kill it if
Speaker 3: I need to, I carry it all times, even in
Speaker 3: my own home. I could fire away. But like, I
Speaker 3: can't get rid of the shit in my brain, dude.
Speaker 2: Right, That's what I'm saying. Fuck putting it in your brain, dude.
Speaker 2: I'm good on that, But I.
Speaker 3: Mean, of those two options, I would literally just go
Speaker 3: living in a cabin in the woods, which we've been
Speaker 3: advised against doing. But if that's my alternative, then say
Speaker 3: no more.
Speaker 2: Hippy Jimmy es. Hippy Jimmy came and blessed to us,
Speaker 2: bless me with some of that divine knowledge as far
Speaker 2: as not going to live in a cabin in the woods.
Speaker 3: Weird timing the man, the myth, the legend of Hippie
Speaker 3: Jimmy bro He blew in through that parking lot in
Speaker 3: a wave, just a weird cloud, that night, and then
Speaker 3: he blew away into the ether just as quickly as
Speaker 3: he came. And God knows where he is now, but
Speaker 3: he's somewhere being a hippie, probably still in talking to
Speaker 3: his kids. And that's okay, God, that's okay. We love you,
Speaker 3: Hippie Jimmy and the wisdom that you share with us.
Speaker 2: Sir, Much love, Hippie Jimmy.
Speaker 3: Much love. Now, let's talk about the next robot on
Speaker 3: this list. It gets wilder as we go.
Speaker 14: Austin Dynamics has unveiled a new version of its Atlas robot,
Speaker 14: marking a significant shift from the previous hydraulic models to
Speaker 14: a fully electric design. This latest iteration of Atlas is
Speaker 14: designed to be more suitable for real world applications, with
Speaker 14: enhanced capabilities that surpass its predecessors. Let's take a look
Speaker 14: at some of the key features. First off, the fully
Speaker 14: electric design is a major change. The new Atlas is
Speaker 14: entirely electric, moving away from the hydraulic systems used in
Speaker 14: earlier models. This shift makes the robot lighter, more compact,
Speaker 14: and quieter. In terms of performance, the new Atlas offers
Speaker 14: enhanced strength and dexterity. The electric version comes with increased
Speaker 14: strength and a wider range of motion. It's designed to
Speaker 14: perform complex tasks with agility that often exceeds human capabilities.
Speaker 14: This includes the ability to manipulate heavy or irregular objects
Speaker 14: using newly developed gripper technologies. Next, let's talk about advanced
Speaker 14: motion capabilities. Unlike humans, Atlas is not limited by our
Speaker 14: typical range of motion. Its limbs, torso and head can
Speaker 14: move a full three hundred and sixty degrees, allowing it
Speaker 14: to perform dynamic and efficient movements across various terrains.
Speaker 7: But when it comes to real world.
Speaker 14: Applications, Boston Dynamics envisions the new Atlas being used in
Speaker 14: industrial settings Specifically, they see it playing a role in
Speaker 14: automotive manufacturing with Hyundi, its parent company. The robot is
Speaker 14: expected to handle tasks that are dangerous, dull, or dirty,
Speaker 14: making it a valuable tool in industries like disaster response
Speaker 14: and industrial automation. Finally, let's highlight the technological innovations. The
Speaker 14: new Atlas is equipped with advanced control systems and sensors,
Speaker 14: including lidar and stereovision for real time perception. These technologies
Speaker 14: allow it to navigate unstructured environments and dynamically adjust its
Speaker 14: movements as needed. This new version of Atlas represents Boston
Speaker 14: Dynamics commitment to pushing the boundaries of robotics technology and
Speaker 14: exploring commercial opportunities beyond just research and demonstrations.
Speaker 3: All right now, Atlas by Boston Dynamics, owned by Hyundai
Speaker 3: is designing this robot, they say for work in the
Speaker 3: automotive industry. But that bits a little little rough and
Speaker 3: tumble to me, didn't it.
Speaker 2: What was saying that it would be good for like
Speaker 2: disaster areas where it's more difficult and dirty jobs like that, or.
Speaker 3: Zones there you go, zones potentially, sir, that's a pretty
Speaker 3: hazardous environment. A very dirty place, hazardous, you know, all
Speaker 3: the way through just saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt, no doubt. I mean, look, if somebody
Speaker 2: is really trying to take you out, this would be
Speaker 2: a pretty good way, I think. But also at the
Speaker 2: same time, I mean, Jacob, look you're over there, you're
Speaker 2: talking about you know what I were. We had a
Speaker 2: lot of conversations on the way back from Florida, on
Speaker 2: the way back from Bohemia and Grove, and we were
Speaker 2: talking about, you know what, it would be awesome to
Speaker 2: hire a maid one day, so I ain't got to
Speaker 2: do I ain't got to do dishes, I ain't gotta
Speaker 2: do laundry, I ain't gotta pick up you know whatever
Speaker 2: the kids messed up and sweep the floor and all
Speaker 2: that bullshit. Right, Oh yeah, imagine employing one of these babies.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, no doubt, no doubt. Look I get it,
Speaker 3: especially in that one that was a really good one,
Speaker 3: that was a very well made one. Can you guess
Speaker 3: the price points, sir? Umm? Now, let's keep in mind
Speaker 3: that was a more higher end one. Let's be honest.
Speaker 3: That thing was able to take a beaten, that was
Speaker 3: able to do functions still like, so I mean keeping
Speaker 3: all of that into into perspective.
Speaker 2: Here, maybe I'll go eighty grand for that one.
Speaker 3: Actually, that one is listed as at least hundreds of thousands,
Speaker 3: oh right, so they didn't give an exact but it's
Speaker 3: at least over two hundred k.
Speaker 2: Okay, I could see that.
Speaker 3: That one was good though. That looks like aircraft material
Speaker 3: like that didn't look like it was thrown together and
Speaker 3: just kind of whatever and looked to cutees and whatever.
Speaker 3: That wasn't made for uh bedside manner as one of
Speaker 3: the other ones that was made for industrial use. So
Speaker 3: I'm just saying that was at least two hundred k
Speaker 3: for that one. Not a bad robot by any mean, sure.
Speaker 2: I mean imagine you know it's talking about taking on
Speaker 2: dirty er jobs and whatnot. Imagine you're you just buy
Speaker 2: a new house and you're like, all right, well I
Speaker 2: need a fence in my backyard. You employ that bad
Speaker 2: boy to go dig them holes for you and start
Speaker 2: lining your fence for you. How sick would that be?
Speaker 3: Or you send it into the sewer system when you
Speaker 3: have a leak of brown water blackwater lines and you
Speaker 3: don't want to send a human into an actual pool
Speaker 3: of human shit to go weld up a crack in
Speaker 3: the pipes, you send the robot to do it.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like I feel like it's not always
Speaker 2: glass half empty on these things.
Speaker 3: It's not as of now, it's just when they combine
Speaker 3: these things, because you know they're gonna you know they're gonna.
Speaker 3: That first robot we talked about is done by an
Speaker 3: AI company, so it's like they're not It's.
Speaker 2: Well, and we've talked about before about how some certain
Speaker 2: people within the Occult and Witchcraft are are teaching like
Speaker 2: certain AI systems and rope. Well, I don't know about robots,
Speaker 2: but definitely certain AI systems like the Occult and teaching
Speaker 2: it witching spells and magic and all that kind of shit. Like,
Speaker 2: So of course, like people are, people are definitely gonna
Speaker 2: people the fuck out of this thing, you know.
Speaker 3: But ultimately, if in by Hyundai the car company.
Speaker 2: Dude, yeah, not a very well trusted car company. In
Speaker 2: my opinion, you get about one hundred miles out of
Speaker 2: those fucking shit boxes, dude. It doesn't matter what kind
Speaker 2: of what car it is, Hyndai's they never last over
Speaker 2: one hundred grand, that's in my opinion. In my in
Speaker 2: my experience, Hyundai, I'm like, all right. As soon as
Speaker 2: I found out it was Hundai, I was like, all right,
Speaker 2: so this is the cheap version of these things.
Speaker 3: Actually again it was a more expensive but to your point, yeah,
Speaker 3: they as far as the rice burners go, they are
Speaker 3: definitely not the highest of quality. No, it's a pretty
Speaker 3: understood fact by anybody who's ever been to a single
Speaker 3: street race in their life.
Speaker 2: You show me a Toyota version of these bad boys,
Speaker 2: I'd be like, all right, I'm interested.
Speaker 3: Or even a Honda version, Like if it came from Honda,
Speaker 3: i'd probably buy one, like Yo, that fucker's probably Actually no,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't because that fucker would never break. It was
Speaker 3: no best that it was made by Hyundai, now that
Speaker 3: I know about that. Hey, So, in all honesty, even
Speaker 3: if it's like trying to kill you or enslave you
Speaker 3: in your own home straight up a smart house style
Speaker 3: or I robot style or name your other movie style, honestly,
Speaker 3: you just gotta wait for it to shit can itself.
Speaker 3: Because it's it's built from shipbox company, that's what happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, that's that's typically how I would look at it,
Speaker 2: you know, what I'm saying, like, I think if you
Speaker 2: had a Toyota, maybe a Maserati version, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean, like a fucking lambo, you know, would never die. Yeah, dude,
Speaker 2: at that point I'd be interested. But Hyundai man ah man.
Speaker 3: All right, So now let's hear about this next one.
Speaker 3: It is the S one from Astrobot. Are you ready?
Speaker 2: I am strible.
Speaker 14: S one is a cutting edge humanoid robot developed by
Speaker 14: star Dust Intelligence.
Speaker 3: For the record, this is when Hina weighs in lady,
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen. And let's also point out the fact
Speaker 3: that the robot is doing wing chun. It's doing the
Speaker 3: it man form of martial arts in the video. That's
Speaker 3: how Chinese these fuckers have gotten with.
Speaker 2: Fuck yeah, dude, that's awesome.
Speaker 3: All right, here.
Speaker 14: We go a robotics company based in Shenzen. This robot
Speaker 14: is designed to perform tasks with remarkable speed and precision,
Speaker 14: closely mimicking human acts. The Astrable S one can move
Speaker 14: at speeds of up to ten meters per second and
Speaker 14: handle a payload of ten kilograms per arm. This gives
Speaker 14: it the ability to perform tasks quickly and efficiently, such
Speaker 14: as pulling a tablecloth from under a stack of glasses
Speaker 14: without disturbing them, a true demonstration of its precise movements.
Speaker 14: Next is advanced AI integration. The S one incorporates a
Speaker 14: large language model, allowing it to understand and interact with
Speaker 14: its environment intelligently. This integration means it can identify and
Speaker 14: sort items effectively, showcasing a high level of reasoning and
Speaker 14: understanding in real time situations. In terms of household task capabilities,
Speaker 14: the S one is designed to take on a variety
Speaker 14: of tasks around the home. It's capable of cooking, cleaning,
Speaker 14: and even folding clothes. Its impressive dexterity allows it to
Speaker 14: handle intricate tasks like cutting vegetables and flipping sandwiches with ease.
Speaker 14: One of these standout features is its use of imitation learning.
Speaker 14: The S one was developed to learn by mimicking human actions,
Speaker 14: enabling it to perform complex tasks more efficiently. This approach
Speaker 14: enhances its adaptability and ensures that it can handle a
Speaker 14: wide range of functions with ease. Finally, let's discuss commercial availability.
Speaker 14: The astrobot S one is expected to be available for
Speaker 14: purchase in twenty twenty four. Transitioning from a prototype to
Speaker 14: a market ready product. This marks a significant milestone and
Speaker 14: its development overall, the astrobot S one represents a major
Speaker 14: advancement in humanoid robotics, with potential applications in both household
Speaker 14: and industrial settings. Its development highlights the rapid progress being
Speaker 14: made in aipowered robotics technology.
Speaker 3: So the Chinese already had this model for sale in
Speaker 3: twenty twenty four, and it's ready to go right now, Jonathan,
Speaker 3: just off the top, what do you think a price
Speaker 3: point is?
Speaker 2: Well, first off, I think that this would probably be
Speaker 2: the one that you would employ in your house, just
Speaker 2: for the reasons that we just got known talking about.
Speaker 3: Except that it's owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
Speaker 2: Except that the same people that own all the fucking
Speaker 2: pandas for some reason.
Speaker 3: And this already has AI integrated into it. I wonder
Speaker 3: what type of AI, brother.
Speaker 2: I'm sure they all do at this point, Like why
Speaker 2: wouldn't you? I have fucking iPhones are being implemented with AI.
Speaker 3: You know, but this is a Chinese company, bro, and
Speaker 3: we cannot trust that we know that they're using it
Speaker 3: for their purposes. It's anti American purposes.
Speaker 2: I mean, more than half the shit that we buy
Speaker 2: off the internet. Is Chinese made at this fucking.
Speaker 3: That's not that's my point. That's not good dude. Oh yeah, no,
Speaker 3: I'm not tariffs against China.
Speaker 2: Right, I'm not saying that it's a good thing. But
Speaker 2: as far as you're asking me how much this one cost,
Speaker 2: I would say, if they already have it.
Speaker 3: And really available right now.
Speaker 2: The idea is is that you have it come to
Speaker 2: your house and do household things such as folding your clothes,
Speaker 2: cutting your vegetables, cooking for you, all that fun jazz.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go one hundred and sixty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: No, you were, you were not bad off, not bad off?
Speaker 3: Actually ninety six thousand dollars retail value. Okay, all right,
Speaker 3: not too bad.
Speaker 2: I could say that, what is the typical lifespan of
Speaker 2: these things? Does it say?
Speaker 3: Like if I knew for a fact claims, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean? But it's not like they've been in
Speaker 3: use for ten years, so it's like it's basic guestimations.
Speaker 2: Right right, Like if I knew for a fact that
Speaker 2: I can get twenty years out of it, I'd buy
Speaker 2: that for one hundred grand. If I had one hundred grand, But.
Speaker 3: Like you said, why would you get the first model?
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, Wait ten years and see
Speaker 3: what kind of actual innovations come out. Then you make
Speaker 3: that purchase, And like, I get it, But these things, bro,
Speaker 3: you're already not just you the people buying them, You're
Speaker 3: already putting this in your home. So when the big
Speaker 3: takeover happens, when the technology takes over, when the five
Speaker 3: G tower send out that big signal, this thing's already
Speaker 3: inside of your home. You can't even lock yourself down
Speaker 3: to get away from the danger.
Speaker 2: I wish it. I wish it had a different head
Speaker 2: though it looks pretty lame compared to the rest of
Speaker 2: the body.
Speaker 3: That's what you get with China, dude, They're fucking lame.
Speaker 2: And also doesn't it kind of look like has boobs?
Speaker 3: But I you know, that wasn't necessary in the design,
Speaker 3: but they threw it on there anyway, And it's like
Speaker 3: you could see where they're getting their inspiration if you will.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, she's a broad goal. Look at those
Speaker 2: guns on her though, Yeah, a.
Speaker 3: Lot of them have pretty weird arms and all of that.
Speaker 3: These apertures, though as far as it goes, it's not
Speaker 3: bad it's just that's kind of huge. That's like a
Speaker 3: wider frame that's gonna be difficult to fit through most doorways,
Speaker 3: but it rolls through.
Speaker 2: It's well in the base of it also is pretty
Speaker 2: wide too.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it can only go through doors like full flat
Speaker 3: on and like I could already see it nicking the
Speaker 3: walls while it's learning, because AI always has to constantly learn.
Speaker 3: That learning curve is gonna be a bit whenever it's
Speaker 3: a programmable thing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this one's not walking. It's like rolling. For those
Speaker 2: who are just listening, it's like a rolling robot.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, now let's move on to the next
Speaker 3: robot on this list. It gets wild, I'm telling you ology.
Speaker 14: Next up on our list is the for Anyone, a
Speaker 14: humanoid robot developed by Newer Robotics. This robot is designed
Speaker 14: to assist with tasks in both domestic and professional environments,
Speaker 14: offering a versatile solution for a variety of needs. Before
Speaker 14: Anyone stands at one hundred and eighty centimeters tall and
Speaker 14: weighs around eighty kilograms, giving it a human like form
Speaker 14: that makes it suitable for environments designed for people. In
Speaker 14: terms of capabilities. Before Anyone is packed with advanced cognitive abilities.
Speaker 14: It can carry loads of up to fifteen kilograms and
Speaker 14: move at speeds of up to three kilometers per eight.
Speaker 14: The robot can recognize objects, environments, and even gestures, making
Speaker 14: it highly adaptable for various tasks. When it comes to
Speaker 14: interaction and safety, Before any One Shines, it features intuitive
Speaker 14: interaction capabilities like voice and gesture control, all powered by
Speaker 14: the Neurer AIAPI. This allows it to recognize different human voices, languages,
Speaker 14: and emotions. Plus, with its unique touchless human detection, the
Speaker 14: robot ensures safe, non intrusive interaction even when its view
Speaker 14: is obstructed. The technology platform behind the for Anyone is
Speaker 14: also impressive. It operates on the Neuroverse platform, which integrates
Speaker 14: AI and sensors for seamless operation in human environments. It
Speaker 14: even comes with exchangeable forearms, allowing it to adapt to
Speaker 14: specific tasks depending on the need. As for applications, Before
Speaker 14: Anyone is designed to take over mundane tasks at home
Speaker 14: or in the workplace, giving humans more time for creative
Speaker 14: or enjoyable activities. Its use cases range from healthcare and education,
Speaker 14: to emergency response and even space exploration. On Overall, Before
Speaker 14: Anyone showcases NEU robotics commitment to enhancing human life by
Speaker 14: performing tedious tasks safely and if next on our list.
Speaker 3: Okay, so it's going to take the place of humans
Speaker 3: jobs in the workplace and at home, leaving more time
Speaker 3: for creative and more useful things. Bro, you're telling me
Speaker 3: that humans are going to be basically out of work
Speaker 3: for everything, and so we'll just be left to just
Speaker 3: sit around and be creative, because that's how societies have
Speaker 3: functioned and thrived throughout the course of human history.
Speaker 2: But all right, I mean I get it, and I
Speaker 2: get the idea of not wanting to do the mundane
Speaker 2: shit anymore. Think about it like it like, for the
Speaker 2: longest time, people sat at their sink and they washed
Speaker 2: their dishes, and that seemed to be a very very
Speaker 2: mundane task until somebody had the bright idea, what if
Speaker 2: a machine could do this?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that.
Speaker 2: This is just applying that concept to you know, kind
Speaker 2: of like a bigger, vast, wider network.
Speaker 3: I understand that. But once again, dude, it's taking away
Speaker 3: humans taking care of themselves. This is what happens. Look,
Speaker 3: this is why people are getting fed poisoned because they're
Speaker 3: not farming their own crops anymore. They're just going to
Speaker 3: the store and buying one. Right. No one's actually making
Speaker 3: their own soap anymore. They're just buying detergent from the store.
Speaker 3: And I hope that that's good enough. I'm just rubbing
Speaker 3: it all over my body once a day. I hope
Speaker 3: it doesn't have any particulates or bad shit in it,
Speaker 3: and that it's not mostly perfume, right, And like this
Speaker 3: is why, because people aren't doing things for themselves. This
Speaker 3: is yet another level of taking it away from Now. Oh,
Speaker 3: you don't even have to cook your own family their
Speaker 3: meals anymore. A robot will do it. Go ahead and
Speaker 3: take all of the love from your family dinners. Go ahead,
Speaker 3: just take it all out.
Speaker 2: You know what though, Like, honestly, the more I really
Speaker 2: look into the poisoning that's going into the food, into
Speaker 2: the water, the poisoning that is on the TV through brainwashing,
Speaker 2: and all this other stuff, like all of it is there.
Speaker 2: And the thing is is that all of these things
Speaker 2: are merely suggestions. You don't have to eat the cinnamon
Speaker 2: toast crunch with all of the crazy chemicals in it.
Speaker 2: You don't have to drink the pasteurized milk that completely obliterates,
Speaker 2: like what you know, the natural straight from the teed
Speaker 2: kind of milk is good for you.
Speaker 3: All of these things. Don't have to buy the robots
Speaker 3: and integrate that transhumanism combination of technology and humanity. We
Speaker 3: don't have to do this.
Speaker 2: You're right, yeah, yeah, you don't have to. But also,
Speaker 2: I mean at the same time, you don't have to
Speaker 2: drive your car. You could just walk everywhere. You could
Speaker 2: do that, And so like, where does that conversation start,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, Like we've already talked about
Speaker 2: the mundane things. You want to get back on a
Speaker 2: fucking horse and buggy.
Speaker 13: Bro.
Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying we need to go amish, but
Speaker 3: I'm saying we also don't need robots to take away
Speaker 3: the very things that make us human either. There should
Speaker 3: be some sort of a balance, and I think we've
Speaker 3: just about got that. But then we have these robots
Speaker 3: that again, if you're keeping them dumb and they're just
Speaker 3: there to perform a function, that's one thing. Every one
Speaker 3: of these is integrated with AI. That's not a good thing.
Speaker 3: It's not a smart combination. This is literally when we
Speaker 3: talk about the dangers of AI and how it could
Speaker 3: take over literally all of these models is an example
Speaker 3: of that, Jonathan.
Speaker 2: Throw your phone away. Throw it away right now, because
Speaker 2: that already is in your pocket.
Speaker 3: Robot, Dude, that's not gonna strangle me in the middle
Speaker 3: of the night. That's not gonna put what Why are
Speaker 3: you thinking these are the same thing?
Speaker 2: Because they are. You're only looking at it because of
Speaker 2: its its physical capabilities, your phone cospiracy show.
Speaker 3: Of course, we're talking about how dangerous this shit is.
Speaker 2: I know, I know. But what I'm saying is you
Speaker 2: ever like like had your phone in your pocket and
Speaker 2: like your shit starts really heating up from the radioactive
Speaker 2: kind of shit that's going on there.
Speaker 3: It's because your battery's overheating. Not radioactive.
Speaker 2: No, yeah, that's that's what's going on, is that it
Speaker 2: has That's the uh, that's why people put them in
Speaker 2: faraday cages and whatnot.
Speaker 3: Wait what that's for signal purposes, not radioactive anything. That's
Speaker 3: to block all signals from jamming and like to make
Speaker 3: you go basically in dark.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying you gotta look into it. I mean,
Speaker 2: I'm not.
Speaker 3: Trying to like, what are you talking about, dude.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, dude, that a lot of this shit
Speaker 2: already exists. It already exists. No, I mean, hey, you
Speaker 2: do you you're not talking me out of this yet.
Speaker 2: I need to see like more destructive shit because I'm
Speaker 2: looking at it for all of the things. Dude, you
Speaker 2: buy this one time and you never have to pay
Speaker 2: somebody to fold your clothes, You never have to pay
Speaker 2: somebody to wash your dishes, like.
Speaker 3: Shit like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe I'm blue pilling it here, which
Speaker 2: is pretty strange because the dichotomy that me and you
Speaker 2: both have. Normally I'm the one that's going crazy, but
Speaker 2: you seem to be the crazy one of this conversation,
Speaker 2: which not necessarily crazy. It's just more defensive.
Speaker 3: HEAs have been made about this exact thing. How is
Speaker 3: this crazy? I know?
Speaker 2: But that's movies.
Speaker 3: I know. We've talked about how movies you gotta watch them.
Speaker 3: They're giving messages. Look at you with the Marble universe.
Speaker 3: But all of a sudden, robots are like, oh, it's
Speaker 3: just the technology that could just troosol.
Speaker 2: But what I mean, I would hope that I would
Speaker 2: get a jarvis in less an ultron. Personally, I think
Speaker 2: the jarvis can't exist.
Speaker 3: Oh my god, okay, all right, all right, now let's
Speaker 3: talk about the Tesla Bot as we move forward. By
Speaker 3: the way, wait a minute. The price point, the price
Speaker 3: point for the last one, for any one, It is
Speaker 3: somewhere between, depending on the type of model you get,
Speaker 3: with the type of attachments and the type of capabilities
Speaker 3: that it has and all the stuff.
Speaker 2: Between two and three. Right, I'm sorry, between two and three.
Speaker 3: It's actually between twenty two thousand and forty four thousand dollars.
Speaker 2: Get out of here.
Speaker 3: Twenty two three hundred for the lowest end base model,
Speaker 3: forty four thousand, six hundred for the higher end. Now
Speaker 3: it's being sold in Euros, but the US conversion, that's
Speaker 3: about what it is as of time recording. You know,
Speaker 3: those numbers fluctuate, but yeah, not a bad system there.
Speaker 3: Now we're gonna talk about the Tesla Bot here in
Speaker 3: a minute, because the big unveiled that they did recently
Speaker 3: I think is worth watching in and of itself. But
Speaker 3: let's go ahead. As we're talking about how these are
Speaker 3: all good things and how certain people cannot trust Elon
Speaker 3: because oh my god, this bad shit. Oh blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: He just released his own line of robots let's learn
Speaker 3: about them.
Speaker 14: This is the Tesla Abot Gen two, also known as Optimus,
Speaker 14: an advanced humanoid robot developed by Tesla. The Gen two
Speaker 14: model is ten kilograms lighter than the previous version and
Speaker 14: moves thirty percent faster. It's more agile build comes with
Speaker 14: improved balance and full body control, allowing for greater mobility.
Speaker 14: The robot's hands have also been upgraded with eleven degrees
Speaker 14: of freedom, enabling it to handle delicate tasks like picking
Speaker 14: up an egg without breaking it. As sensors and actuators,
Speaker 14: Tesla has equipped the gent two Optimists with advanced sensors
Speaker 14: and actuators, which provide precise control and tactile sensing capabilities.
Speaker 14: These improvements significantly enhance its ability to perform practical tasks
Speaker 14: in various environments. The applications the Gentoo Optimus is primarily
Speaker 14: designed for industrial settings where precision and safety. As for
Speaker 14: the future, the Gen three version is expected to bring
Speaker 14: even more advancements. It's anticipated to have a completely new
Speaker 14: design with lighter materials and faster movement. Potential new features
Speaker 14: include speakers and a voice system for communication. Elon Musk
Speaker 14: has indicated that the Gen three model will be ready
Speaker 14: by the end of this year, with small scale production
Speaker 14: planned for twenty twenty five and wider availability by twenty
Speaker 14: twenty six. Tesla envisions producing millions of these robots to
Speaker 14: meet demand across various industries. Elon Musk has even suggested
Speaker 14: that Optimus could have a greater impact on Tesla's market
Speaker 14: value than its automotive business. Overall, Tesla's development of the
Speaker 14: Optimius robot reflects the company's ambition to revolutionize humanoid robotics,
Speaker 14: combining advanced AI technologies with affordability to make these robots
Speaker 14: accessible for widespread use.
Speaker 3: Next. All right, now, the Tesla bart they showed doing
Speaker 3: a couple of functions, and like this one here, it
Speaker 3: could be working in any laboratory somewhere, just moving things
Speaker 3: from point A to points be and just doing the
Speaker 3: meaningless tasks. I get that, and again talking about its
Speaker 3: capabilities in the industrial field. As a business owner, as
Speaker 3: a corporate person, you understand why this would be a
Speaker 3: smart move. You're buying a potentially one time purchase, which
Speaker 3: I mean there's gonna be maintenance, there's gonna be stuff.
Speaker 3: I get that. But that one time purchase of somewhere
Speaker 3: around Oh wait, ver real quick Tesla, What do you
Speaker 3: think the current price is? Oh boy, keep in mind
Speaker 3: he's trying to make it affordable for everybody and all
Speaker 3: these things. But at the same time, it's a real
Speaker 3: robot with AI.
Speaker 2: So maybe forty five grand.
Speaker 3: Somewhere between twenty and thirty k sir, get out of here.
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, like, if I was gonna get
Speaker 2: one of these bad boys, I would trust the Tesla
Speaker 2: one over Hyundai, that's for sure.
Speaker 3: And also trust Musk over a Hyundai.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah. And also it's uh,
Speaker 2: it seems to be cheaper than the Hyundai one as well,
Speaker 2: and it looks more bad at like, it looks more
Speaker 2: humanoid in that sense, although I will say it walks
Speaker 2: around like it got shit in its pants. Did you
Speaker 2: think that whenever it was walking around?
Speaker 3: Well, none of these robots walk smooth. I'll give you that.
Speaker 3: They all kind of walk it with a weird because
Speaker 3: they have a weird balance point. They're trying to tip
Speaker 3: and do you know what I mean? But that's the thing,
Speaker 3: why would you give them legs as opposed to wheels.
Speaker 3: They are trying, They're going out of their way to
Speaker 3: make them look more human like, to make people feel
Speaker 3: more at ease with this technology being around them at
Speaker 3: all times. We're gonna talk more about Tesla's bots here
Speaker 3: in a bit, But again, like I was saying, the
Speaker 3: corporate mindset of it. You buy this one piece of
Speaker 3: equipment for twenty thousand dollars, let's set high end thirty thousand,
Speaker 3: one of the even higher or in forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 3: You'd have to do some maintenance on it. Maybe you
Speaker 3: gotta pay a mechanic to come out and do some
Speaker 3: stuff on it from time to time, and maybe your
Speaker 3: production is slower than what it was when there was
Speaker 3: a human working that role. However, that human has to
Speaker 3: punch in and punch out the robot does not right.
Speaker 3: And if you really break that down, you're paying uh,
Speaker 3: you know, eighty thousand give or take maybe per year.
Speaker 3: But that's a one time purchase. You don't necessarily have
Speaker 3: to buy that every year, and you're getting overall more
Speaker 3: output than you would if you were paying a traditional employee,
Speaker 3: a human employee at the same rate. It's yeah, this
Speaker 3: thing's not going to be dangerous for human industry.
Speaker 2: Bro. This thing's not going to complain about working on Thanksgiving,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, Like or in.
Speaker 3: A hot warehouse, or in arctic temperatures or underwater. There's
Speaker 3: a lot of things where again I could see this
Speaker 3: being critical for making human life better for its situations
Speaker 3: where you need to deploy something where humans can't go.
Speaker 3: I get it. But it's also that slippery slope, you
Speaker 3: see what I mean.
Speaker 2: I weirdly am starting to come around more to Elon
Speaker 2: to be real with you. Yeah, yeah, in a weird way,
Speaker 2: Like for some reason, I I feel like he's so
Speaker 2: against globalism, and like that's something for me. He's against globalism,
Speaker 2: he's against like you know, uh, taking away the First
Speaker 2: Amendment and shit like that. I don't know, it's a
Speaker 2: weird it's.
Speaker 3: Also super pro transhumanism.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he for sure is. I personally, like, in
Speaker 2: just personally my own opinion as far as transhumanism goes,
Speaker 2: I think live and let live dude. At that point, like,
Speaker 2: you know, you want to turn yourself into a fucking robot.
Speaker 2: Who are we to tell somebody that they can't.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's like those super hippies that are trying
Speaker 3: to get their test schools or placed with acorns and
Speaker 3: that they they like literally stick their dicks in the
Speaker 3: dirt to have sex with mother Earth. Like I mean, yeah,
Speaker 3: you do you. It's a free country and all, but
Speaker 3: like I still don't think you should be allowed to
Speaker 3: vote to reproduce, you know what I mean, Like that's wild. Shit.
Speaker 2: Well you're not going to be reproducing too much if
Speaker 2: you're fucking the ground, you know.
Speaker 3: No, But like that person might accidentally st dick and
Speaker 3: another person one day and create another one of them,
Speaker 3: And like, I don't think that's safe to be around
Speaker 3: children or like raise one of their own. That's dangerous. Dude. Sure, yeah,
Speaker 3: that's just wild. It did be anyway. All right. There
Speaker 3: is one more robot to talk about, and it's not
Speaker 3: necessarily a humanoid, but it is an honorable mention and
Speaker 3: the guy included in the video, and I think it
Speaker 3: actually deserves it because it's cool as shit. Let's learn
Speaker 3: about Isaac.
Speaker 7: Next.
Speaker 14: We have Isaac, which is an honorable mentioned considering it's
Speaker 14: not a humanoid robot, but rather an advanced personal robot
Speaker 14: developed by Weave Robotics, designed to revolutionize home automation by
Speaker 14: taking over a variety of household tasks. Set to debut
Speaker 14: in twenty twenty five. Isaac is all about offering unparalleled
Speaker 14: convenience by automating those mundane chores we all deal with
Speaker 14: every day. Now, let's take a look at the key
Speaker 14: features and capabilities.
Speaker 7: Isaac is a multitasker.
Speaker 14: When it comes to household chores, it can autonomously tidy
Speaker 14: up spaces, organize objects, fold laundry, feed pets, water plants,
Speaker 14: and even help you find misplaced items. On top of that,
Speaker 14: Isaac can act as your personal photographer, capturing moments around
Speaker 14: the house. For user interaction, Isaac is designed to be
Speaker 14: incredibly intuitive. You can control it using voice commands, text inputs,
Speaker 14: or set up automations via the Weave app. The app
Speaker 14: also allows real time monitoring, so you can see exactly
Speaker 14: what Isaac is up to or get progress notifications as
Speaker 14: it works. When it comes to more complex tasks, there's
Speaker 14: a feature called remote op where Weave specialists can remotely
Speaker 14: operate Isaac to handle tasks that require a higher level
Speaker 14: of precision or personalization. This means even if Isaac can't
Speaker 14: do something on its own, help is just to tap away.
Speaker 14: Privacy and security are at the core of Isaac's design.
Speaker 14: The camera and microphone are visibly inactive when not in use,
Speaker 14: so you'll always know when it's watching or listening. Plus,
Speaker 14: all data processing happens locally on Isaac's onboard GPU, ensuring
Speaker 14: that your data stays private and secure. Now let's talk
Speaker 14: about the cost. Isaac is positioned at a premium price
Speaker 14: point fifty nine thousand dollars up front or available through
Speaker 14: a pay plan of one thousand, three hundred and eighty
Speaker 14: five dollars per month over forty eight months with a
Speaker 14: one thousand dollars reservation fee. The initial release will be
Speaker 14: limited to just thirty US customers, with a broader availability
Speaker 14: planned after its full twenty twenty five debut. In summary,
Speaker 14: Isaac represents a major leap forward in personal robotics for
Speaker 14: home use, combining advanced capabilities with a strong emphasis on
Speaker 14: privacy and user convenience.
Speaker 3: So now, all right, so it is uh, you'll be
Speaker 3: able to visibly see when the camera and microphone are
Speaker 3: turned off, because that's how that works, right, just like
Speaker 3: our cell phones, our ring cameras, all all that totally
Speaker 3: only is on when we want it to be on,
Speaker 3: and it's going to be super integrated into the home.
Speaker 3: But security and privacy are absolutely at the forefront of it.
Speaker 3: But you can totally remote into it and you know,
Speaker 3: check in on it from time to time, meaning it
Speaker 3: can be hacked. So right off the top, the entire
Speaker 3: description of it is kind of double speak. But as
Speaker 3: we're doing a technology episode and talking about how the
Speaker 3: powers that be could probably and will most likely use
Speaker 3: all of these advancements in technology against us, the quantum computing,
Speaker 3: using it in the realm of AI, the robotics of it,
Speaker 3: and all that. Now, this would be what I would
Speaker 3: consider the macro robotics, the bigger robotics. Here in a minute,
Speaker 3: we're gonna get into the micro robotics the nano if
Speaker 3: you will. But before we do that, Jonathan, overall, I
Speaker 3: think already know what you're about to say. You're you're
Speaker 3: pro robot, which is wild to me. I want, how
Speaker 3: is the wu woo spiritualist pro robot That doesn't even
Speaker 3: make sense on paper?
Speaker 2: I mean not every single aspect of my life is
Speaker 2: wo woo and spiritual. Some things are just cool, you
Speaker 2: know what I mean? Like I'm I don't need to
Speaker 2: be a woo woo kind of person to know that
Speaker 2: I would love to own a Harley one day, like
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, shit like that. But it's like,
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think that I've I've I look
Speaker 2: at this.
Speaker 3: Intelligent, soulless being living in your home. I'm with you,
Speaker 3: interacting with you in that close of an intimate way
Speaker 3: that you're comfortable with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think so, Well you said how or wow?
Speaker 3: What? Oh?
Speaker 2: I thought you I didn't know if you said how
Speaker 2: or wow?
Speaker 3: I said wow? Just all right, yeah, I want one.
Speaker 2: I mean I would say that, you know, I would
Speaker 2: be you know, on the lookout for uh things gone
Speaker 2: wrong with these things, because I can imagine that you
Speaker 2: wouldn't want that to happen because not only would it
Speaker 2: taint your product and your company, but probably the industry
Speaker 2: as a whole. If you found out that a robot,
Speaker 2: you know, became unhinged and strangled its owner one night,
Speaker 2: like that would not be good for the entire hole
Speaker 2: of the industry. So I think that as we.
Speaker 3: Talk about self driving cars Jonathan and how that's dangerous
Speaker 3: and how we would never get into a self driving
Speaker 3: car because like, well, it's just in a crash or
Speaker 3: something like that. This is that but way more personal
Speaker 3: and having access to you while you're asleep. Dude.
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it, but I would just
Speaker 2: make sure that it was like you, dude, you can
Speaker 2: chain You can put a fucking bike chain on that
Speaker 2: thing and chain it to the wall or something.
Speaker 3: Because a robot can't break a chain.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know what they're made of. It
Speaker 2: seems plastic for the most part.
Speaker 3: It's also self learning AI. It can absolutely learn a
Speaker 3: way to break a chain or pick a lock or whatever.
Speaker 3: That's these things are programmed to do pretty much everything
Speaker 3: and anything, and that's what makes them so incredible. And
Speaker 3: it does. It genuinely does. But there's that dark side
Speaker 3: to it.
Speaker 2: I guess there could be a dark side to it,
Speaker 2: but I'm looking at it. I don't know. I'm looking
Speaker 2: at it more for the cool side.
Speaker 3: Well, with that, let's talk about robotics on a cool
Speaker 3: side and things that inherently could be good for humanity,
Speaker 3: for the realm of medicine, for the realm of exploring
Speaker 3: the small universe. Let's look at the new micro robots
Speaker 3: have been developed as of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6: With all these other advances in science and technology, it
Speaker 6: should come as no surprise that the field of robotics moves.
Speaker 7: Just as quickly.
Speaker 6: In January twenty twenty four, Washington State University announced that
Speaker 6: their School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering and created two
Speaker 6: insects like robots, the smallest of their kind in the world.
Speaker 6: The smaller of the two, called minibug, weighs in at
Speaker 6: just eight milligrams, while the other, modeled after a water strider,
Speaker 6: weighs in at fifty five milligrams. What's most impressive is
Speaker 6: their movement speed, with each of them able to move
Speaker 6: about six millimeters per second, definitely a lot slower than
Speaker 6: biological insects, but much faster than any of their micro
Speaker 6: robotic peers. The secret of the speed is tiny actuators, which,
Speaker 6: using a new technique, were shrunk down until they weighed
Speaker 6: less than a single milligram. The way that these operate
Speaker 6: is by using shape memory alloys and metal The conchain
Speaker 6: shape when heated, but returned to its original shape after
Speaker 6: cooling that down. Each actuator contains two hours made from
Speaker 6: this shape memory alloy, and the wires are able to
Speaker 6: be heated up and cooled down rapidly using a small
Speaker 6: electric currents, allowing the mechanical parts of the robot to
Speaker 6: move incredibly quickly. In the case of the water strider,
Speaker 6: it can flap its fins more than forty times per second.
Speaker 6: And the researchers aren't done there. They've spent time studying
Speaker 6: the insects they've used as models and identified things that
Speaker 6: make them quicker, which they hope to implement in future iterations.
Speaker 6: Also on the to do list is to create a
Speaker 6: super tiny battery to allow these mini machines to function
Speaker 6: without being tethered to a power source. The uses of
Speaker 6: robots of this size r rendless, such as robot assisted surgery,
Speaker 6: environmental monitoring in materials manufacturing. There's also hope that one
Speaker 6: day swarms of mini robots like these could be used
Speaker 6: for artificial pollination in places with plants that are naturally
Speaker 6: hard to pollinate.
Speaker 3: So they're talking about replacing bees potentially with this technology.
Speaker 3: And real quick, we are going to play this video
Speaker 3: here through and it does talk again about these small robots.
Speaker 3: It does a little more in depth on them, and
Speaker 3: it also brings up the water batteries like back to back.
Speaker 3: So I don't figure we've let it play through, but
Speaker 3: the small robots are actually kind of cool when I
Speaker 3: could see some technologic innovations that could happen and be
Speaker 3: beneficial because of them. But again, there is that underside
Speaker 3: we'll discuss here in just a minute.
Speaker 15: No, the following invention is not from a science fiction movie.
Speaker 15: Researchers at Washington State University have developed two tiny robots
Speaker 15: modeled on insects that will in the future pollinate plants,
Speaker 15: support search operations, and monitor the environment. Compared to the beetle,
Speaker 15: which weighs just eight milligrams, the fifty five milligram water
Speaker 15: Strider robot is almost a heavyweight. And although the tiny
Speaker 15: machines are not only the smallest but also the fastest
Speaker 15: many robots in the world, they have to admit defeat
Speaker 15: to real insects when it comes to speed. While the
Speaker 15: artificial creations have a top speed of zero point zero
Speaker 15: two kilometers per hour, an ant races through the landscape
Speaker 15: at a speed of three point six kilometers per hour.
Speaker 15: In return, however, the robots have a trick up their
Speaker 15: sleeve that most creepy crawleys can only dream of. They
Speaker 15: are made of a shape memory alloy, which allows them
Speaker 15: to quote unquote remember their original shape when they are
Speaker 15: heated what's more, we are also dealing with real powerhouses here.
Speaker 15: In initial tests, the robots were able to lift more
Speaker 15: than one hundred and fifty times their own weight. However,
Speaker 15: the scientists still have to work on the energy supply
Speaker 15: as this has only lasted for a short time. So
Speaker 15: far does the future belong to?
Speaker 3: As they talk about power supplies and all of these
Speaker 3: things for these micro robots. It finds it interesting that
Speaker 3: they would this video the simply space, by the way,
Speaker 3: would bring in the water battery conversation, and I thought
Speaker 3: it was beautifully done.
Speaker 15: Water batteries they are less prone to failure, safer and cheaper.
Speaker 15: The new water batteries presented by an Australian research team
Speaker 15: a few months ago, could soon make our conventional lead
Speaker 15: acid or lithium ion batteries a thing of the past.
Speaker 15: What is currently still in our giganic electrolyte such as
Speaker 15: lithium is, in this case simple water that has been
Speaker 15: enriched with additives such as inorganic salts. The scientists also
Speaker 15: use natural and frequently occurring materials such as zinc and
Speaker 15: magnesium for their construction, meaning that the new energy storage
Speaker 15: devices are less toxic and significantly cheaper. To produce in
Speaker 15: the same breath. The experts have also succeeded in solving
Speaker 15: the problem of dendrites with their small button batteries. These
Speaker 15: are microscopically small crystal structures that grow in batteries and
Speaker 15: can trigger short circuits. In the water batteries, the experts
Speaker 15: have coated the affected components with the metal bismuth, which
Speaker 15: rusts and thus creates a protective layer that puts a
Speaker 15: stop to the formation of dendrites. But that's not all.
Speaker 15: Study leader Tiani Ma from the Royal Melbourne Institute of
Speaker 15: Technology stated that the batteries can also be safely dismantled
Speaker 15: and the materials reused or recycled. The surface light of
Speaker 15: the water batteries should be comparable to that of commercially
Speaker 15: available lithium ion batteries and they could be used in
Speaker 15: solar cells in as little as one to three years.
Speaker 3: Okay, so again we're talking about those micro robots and
Speaker 3: how they very realistically will need a strong power supply
Speaker 3: to do what they need to do. Get in, get out.
Speaker 3: They're talking about helping perform perform surgeries and things. We're
Speaker 3: talking about the robots, they're going to need it advanced
Speaker 3: enhanced power cells and battery packs. I see water batteries
Speaker 3: as really being the way of the future again, unless
Speaker 3: graphene can make its way out, I hope so. But
Speaker 3: you heard that other example, they're talking about pulling oxygen
Speaker 3: from the air to charge the battery itself. You do
Speaker 3: that in the realm of the macro robots and the
Speaker 3: micro robots. That is incredible technological innovation.
Speaker 2: Bro See, I'm more hesitant against this than I am
Speaker 2: the actual robots.
Speaker 3: How the real robots could kill you.
Speaker 2: This one could what poison you could poison? You could
Speaker 2: stick in the neck in the middle of the night.
Speaker 3: I agree, if you have one in your home.
Speaker 2: And also well, also think about it like that we've
Speaker 2: already talked about like genetically engineered mosquitos. This is an
Speaker 2: even higher degree of this or a higher degree of that.
Speaker 2: And I mean, yeah, I get the idea of wanting to,
Speaker 2: you know, have these mechanical bees essentially to pollinate, and
Speaker 2: you know, because the bees are dying off and stuff
Speaker 2: like that. It's like, dude, I don't know, maybe like
Speaker 2: fucking get a bee farm instead, you know what I'm.
Speaker 3: Saying, Like that's insulting the bees have been doing their
Speaker 3: job perfectly since the beginning of time as far as
Speaker 3: we understand.
Speaker 2: Why are we taking their jobs too?
Speaker 3: Given it to the fucking robots? Bro Like, what level
Speaker 3: of playing god are you?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: Not satisfied with, my boy? But it sounds like your point,
Speaker 3: You know what? That's true. That little beetle roebout that
Speaker 3: water strider, if they were to put a powerful enough
Speaker 3: battery pack in that, and it would slowly make its
Speaker 3: way into your home the way that any bug does,
Speaker 3: through any means, and it could creep into your bed
Speaker 3: and inject you with a poison. We know they have
Speaker 3: the heart attack gun. Why couldn't this beetle have a
Speaker 3: little injection of that in it and then slip off
Speaker 3: a way and just hide in your room and dismantle
Speaker 3: itself and you would have died from natural cause as
Speaker 3: a heart attack in your sleep in the middle of
Speaker 3: the night, no evidence of any foul play. Jonathan, You're
Speaker 3: onto some shit right now.
Speaker 2: You got a little scorpion kiss in the night, dude,
Speaker 2: that's what you gone. Oh come on, I mean that's
Speaker 2: where my mind goes. I generally hate insects personally, and
Speaker 2: I know that bees are good for the world and
Speaker 2: all that shit. But fuck bees, like you ever got
Speaker 2: stung by like all a shitload of them all at once.
Speaker 2: It'll put a sour taste in your mouth, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean?
Speaker 3: No doubt, no doubt. Now, with all this being said,
Speaker 3: what about a competing tech industries as far as this
Speaker 3: is concerned, bro, what about a smart robot war so
Speaker 3: to speak. Let's go ahead and listen on to this
Speaker 3: one here. This is from John Michael Gaudier. God here,
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, but he's got a couple of interesting
Speaker 3: points on the topic. Let's let's see what he's saying. Here,
Speaker 3: he's saying, they have created They've created virtual life this
Speaker 3: September of twenty twenty four. Let's listen in.
Speaker 9: E virtual life forms. This is a strange one. Researchers
Speaker 9: at Google created a kind of analog of life in
Speaker 9: digital form, something like the organizing molecules involved in the
Speaker 9: very first stages of the a biogenesis of life. They
Speaker 9: took snippets of computer code, tens of thousands of them,
Speaker 9: and set them to where they could randomly mingle with
Speaker 9: other bits of code over millions of generations. In a
Speaker 9: situation where there was no rules or rewards should anything
Speaker 9: come out of it. The expectation was that it would
Speaker 9: remain random and nothing coherent would come out. That's not
Speaker 9: what happened, however. Instead they got self replicating programs eventually
Speaker 9: emerging and replicating so much that it hit the population
Speaker 9: cap of the experiment. As it developed, new types of
Speaker 9: replicators started appearing and competing with the others, just like
Speaker 9: natural selection. It pays to remember here these are computer programs,
Speaker 9: not life. But life also is a kind of information
Speaker 9: storage medium that has genetic data to create an organism.
Speaker 9: So while not the same, it is somewhat similar, and
Speaker 9: the experiment speaks to the ability for complexity to arise
Speaker 9: from randomness, something that seems to have happened with genetics
Speaker 9: and a biogenesis. This experiment is nearing the limits of
Speaker 9: what we can do with computers, but it's thought that
Speaker 9: even more evolution and complexity is possible with this. But
Speaker 9: ultimately it's just about self replicating computer code emerging. It's
Speaker 9: not life, and it's not something that will answer the
Speaker 9: a biogenesis question. Rather, it provides an interesting framework and
Speaker 9: how complexity can arise where it isn't necessarily expected. This
Speaker 9: seems to happen a lot with computers these days, unforeseen effects,
Speaker 9: and only time will tell what that means for things
Speaker 9: like artificial intelligence.
Speaker 3: Couldn't have said it better myself. So they're saying that
Speaker 3: in an experiment where the computer programs were just left
Speaker 3: to create on their own, they started competing against each
Speaker 3: other to assert dominance over each other, because that's how
Speaker 3: this goes. Now he's already speculating what could possibly come
Speaker 3: from AI having that capability, because again, it was just
Speaker 3: an experiment and it was just digital code, even though
Speaker 3: it's literally how existence works. So who's to say what's
Speaker 3: going to happen if and when things were to take
Speaker 3: that drastic dip. But you know something, I have hope.
Speaker 3: I have hope that if and when that time came,
Speaker 3: hopefully the AI would still be in its dumb infancy
Speaker 3: stage and there could be a way to fight against it,
Speaker 3: because apparently, once upon a time, a group of marines
Speaker 3: outsmarted DARPA's most advanced AI. Have you heard of this, sir,
Speaker 3: uh No?
Speaker 7: I have not.
Speaker 3: This is comical and also one true, so and I
Speaker 3: know I'm shitting on AI. I know I'm shitting on
Speaker 3: the robots a bit as they deserve. The robots they
Speaker 3: can't feel. It doesn't matter. Let's not forget the fact
Speaker 3: that very recently, just a few years ago, a group
Speaker 3: of fucking Marines outsmarted DARPA's most advanced AI. This is
Speaker 3: a video from the Fat Electrician. It's only three eight
Speaker 3: minutes long. Three to change.
Speaker 2: Why is that rubber ducky grenade wearing some pgs that
Speaker 2: you commonly wear, sir?
Speaker 3: Because he has what's called drip, sir, and nothing stops
Speaker 3: to drip. All right, let's listen to the Fat Electrician
Speaker 3: my popular demand.
Speaker 16: After this twin I went viral on the internet. Today,
Speaker 16: we're talking about that time that eight Marines went toe
Speaker 16: to tow against DARPA's artificial intelligence and an epic battle
Speaker 16: of wits and won.
Speaker 3: Conceivab Okay, So here's the deal.
Speaker 16: That tweet is a picture of half a page from
Speaker 16: a book that hasn't even come out yet. That book
Speaker 16: is Four Battle Grounds by Paul Cher, and it comes
Speaker 16: out next month, February twenty twenty three. And I actually
Speaker 16: reached out and got a hold of Paul to get
Speaker 16: the whole story.
Speaker 2: And here's what I found out.
Speaker 16: Once upon a time in twenty nineteen, DARPA had a
Speaker 16: program known as squad X. The overall goal of this
Speaker 16: program was to be able to integrate an autonomous AI
Speaker 16: with an infantry unit robogrun. They wanted to make robo grun. Basically,
Speaker 16: they were going to take an artificial intelligence, shove it
Speaker 16: inside of a flying drone or a little car drone,
Speaker 16: or inside of a robot dog, and it was going
Speaker 16: to follow the grunts out into battle and act as
Speaker 16: an early warning system. Using cameras and sensors. It would
Speaker 16: be able to identify enemies from way further out than
Speaker 16: a human ever could not a terrible idea, so DARPA
Speaker 16: got to work. They built the robots, they built the AI,
Speaker 16: but then they actually had to train the AI how
Speaker 16: to identify people, and apparently the best way to do
Speaker 16: this was by just actually doing it. So they brought
Speaker 16: in eight marines for a week to help train this
Speaker 16: artificial intelligence, and for the first.
Speaker 2: Six days it went right.
Speaker 3: Basically, the AI just.
Speaker 16: Watched the marines walk around and do things a human
Speaker 16: would do, while the computer engineers helped teach the algorithm
Speaker 16: what it was looking at. But then on the seventh day,
Speaker 16: DARPA would make a classic tactical air by challenging the Marines.
Speaker 16: Apparently with only six days of training, they wanted to
Speaker 16: see how well their artificial intelligence would stack up against
Speaker 16: the Marine Corps one hundred percent organic cran fed fuckery.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna give you a hint.
Speaker 7: It didn't go well.
Speaker 16: The challenge was they were going to set the robot
Speaker 16: up out in the open, and the Marines had to
Speaker 16: start from like a thousand yards away, and they had
Speaker 16: to sneak up on the robot and touch it without
Speaker 16: ever being identified as a human. As soon as they
Speaker 16: said go, the first two marines took off doing somersaults
Speaker 16: for the entire one thousand yards. They made it all
Speaker 16: the way to the robot completely unidentified. And I can
Speaker 16: only assume that it is at this point that the
Speaker 16: computer engineers realized that they were going to have a
Speaker 16: bad day, because it only got more ridiculous from there.
Speaker 16: Another marine went out in the woods, stripped all the
Speaker 16: branches off of a fur tree, dressed himself up like
Speaker 16: a tree, and then slowly, and I quote, walked like
Speaker 16: a fur tree all the way to the robot. And
Speaker 16: then my personal favorite example, two marines found a large
Speaker 16: box and then proceeded to do the old metal gear
Speaker 16: solid trick where they use the Amazon Prime print camouflage
Speaker 16: to sneak all the way up to the robot and
Speaker 16: touch it. According to the author, you could actually hear
Speaker 16: them audibly giggling from inside the box the entire time.
Speaker 16: And this raises one very important question. How mad were
Speaker 16: these engineers? So I asked the author, Well, in.
Speaker 10: This case, I mean, it's a Darper project, so it's
Speaker 10: just experimental and they're trying to push the bounds.
Speaker 5: I don't know.
Speaker 10: I can't speak to the engineers. I mean, they might
Speaker 10: not appreciate it. Maybe they did appreciate someone highlighting these problems.
Speaker 10: The program manager who related the answer to me was
Speaker 10: really pleased because they learned something right. They learned about
Speaker 10: the limitations of the system, and you really must rather
Speaker 10: find that out in a training environment than when you
Speaker 10: do it overseas in a war zone and the enemy doesn't.
Speaker 10: But you know, it's good that they found it out
Speaker 10: early rather than before they'd invested hundreds of billions of
Speaker 10: dollars to do this.
Speaker 16: Okay, fine, Well, if he's not going to speak for
Speaker 16: the engineers, that leaves it open to my interpretation, and
Speaker 16: I think it went something like this I hate them.
Speaker 3: Conclusion.
Speaker 16: I think the big takeaway from this story is that
Speaker 16: artificial intelligence is nowhere near ready to go toe to toe
Speaker 16: with the American grunt on the battlefield, because regardless of
Speaker 16: how smart it is or how smart it gets, it's
Speaker 16: never gonna be able to figure out what the grunts
Speaker 16: are doing until they're already doing it, because the grunts
Speaker 16: don't know what they're doing until they're doing it. And
Speaker 16: you can't be three steps ahead of somebody that never
Speaker 16: knows where they're going because at the end of the day,
Speaker 16: historically speaking, the American military has only ever had one plan,
Speaker 16: and that's to show up and improvise.
Speaker 3: Couldn't agree more. And I thought that was a wonderful story, Jonathan,
Speaker 3: your thoughts.
Speaker 2: Big shout out to the fat electrician dude. You're always
Speaker 2: talking about him, and I see why you like him.
Speaker 2: Like the shit that he I mean, this specific thing
Speaker 2: that he's covering, I love it.
Speaker 3: He's he's amazing. Like his content is always he doesn't miss,
Speaker 3: he doesn't miss, Like every single thing he puts out
Speaker 3: is gonna be funny as hell, informative as hell, and
Speaker 3: like just he does it in a very good way,
Speaker 3: you know. But anyway, so, and that's a very good point. Look,
Speaker 3: if you're ever developing some sort of new technology and
Speaker 3: you want to see if it would work good or
Speaker 3: if it's gonna break easy, give it to a bunch
Speaker 3: of marine grunts for literally a week and see what
Speaker 3: status they give it back to you, and that will
Speaker 3: give you a pretty good litmus test as far as
Speaker 3: its durability and or its fuck ability. I'm gonna be
Speaker 3: honest with you, They're gonna try to fuck it whatever
Speaker 3: it is. It's a part of it. But you know,
Speaker 3: I'm just saying the fucker, he continues and even throwing
Speaker 3: a box over your head and then running at the
Speaker 3: AI as of twenty nineteen, was gonna let you get
Speaker 3: straight on by it.
Speaker 2: Not gonna lie. That sounds like a like a spirit
Speaker 2: Animal sam type of thing to do. Yeah, so big
Speaker 2: shout out to the spirit Animal.
Speaker 3: No fuck that. I can see him doing the summersaults
Speaker 3: the whole way a thousand meters and these fuckers just
Speaker 3: cartwheeled the entire way.
Speaker 2: It's pretty impressive.
Speaker 3: First off, props. Second off, bro, holy shit, way to
Speaker 3: commit to the bit, you know, they puked and they
Speaker 3: got there. And third, yeah, Sam's doing some wild shit
Speaker 3: like that. We're just gonna try to blow a weed
Speaker 3: smoke cloud around him the entire way to where it
Speaker 3: can't pick up if it's a human or fall rolling in.
Speaker 3: I mean, I can see it all being an option.
Speaker 2: I could definitely see that.
Speaker 3: But with that all being said, dude, keep in mind
Speaker 3: that last episode, the last video we just watched. Google
Speaker 3: created that virtual life simulator where it started like eating
Speaker 3: each other. That was a Google experiment, right, so that
Speaker 3: was done recently.
Speaker 2: I didn't find that to be too crazy because I mean,
Speaker 2: I know that there's you know, the information is always
Speaker 2: evolving and shit like that. I know that whenever we
Speaker 2: were growing up, we were taught that, you know, whenever
Speaker 2: a sperm meets meets an egg and it's battling against
Speaker 2: all the other sperms and it's trying to be the
Speaker 2: main one. Now we find out that that's not necessarily
Speaker 2: the case. But whenever you look at it like that,
Speaker 2: I think that maybe there's something like that going on.
Speaker 3: Absolutely absolutely, But the strong survive. Do we as a military,
Speaker 3: does the United States government have anything that can really
Speaker 3: take out drones? And robots and things like that from
Speaker 3: a distance and a good hard hit, so to speak,
Speaker 3: a one hit wonder. Well, come to find out we
Speaker 3: have the Leonidis microwave weapon. Have you ever heard of this? No,
Speaker 3: prepare to have your mind blown because I didn't either,
Speaker 3: But it's fucking awesome.
Speaker 17: US warships are facing frequent drone attacks from Houti rebels
Speaker 17: supported by Iran and China, which highlights the challenge of
Speaker 17: using expensive missiles to counter low cost drones. Epyrus has
Speaker 17: developed the Leonidas system, a microwave weapon that can disable
Speaker 17: drones by causing their electronics to overload, offering a cost
Speaker 17: effective alternative to missiles. In tests, Leonidis has successfully downed
Speaker 17: multiple drones simultaneously, and the US Army has begun evaluating
Speaker 17: the system with a sixty six million dollar contract for
Speaker 17: its deployment. Microwave weapons like Leonidis promise a lower cost
Speaker 17: per shot compared to traditional mists, making it a sustainable
Speaker 17: defense against mass drone attacks.
Speaker 3: The Leonidas system, bro it's fucking wild.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's pretty gangster.
Speaker 3: And I mean I'm assuming that if it could work
Speaker 3: for drones flying in the sky, then it could possibly
Speaker 3: work for robots on the ground robots that you might
Speaker 3: see at the Chargers NFL game, sir, Because let's be
Speaker 3: honest with the fuck. We go to a Chargers game,
Speaker 3: but they in fact have AI robots in the stands.
Speaker 3: Did you see this commercial?
Speaker 13: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I remember this was either a year or two ago.
Speaker 2: I remember seeing this. But actually the last game that
Speaker 2: I went to, last NFL game was a Chargers game. Ah,
Speaker 2: I know, I know, and we fucking took that stadium over.
Speaker 2: That's how that's how we roll, right.
Speaker 3: But okay, who would be wearing a Chargers jersey at
Speaker 3: the game? You were there to see.
Speaker 2: The Steelers, unless unless somebody hates themselves. That's probably you know,
Speaker 2: the only reason you would wear a Chargers jersey, I
Speaker 2: would think.
Speaker 3: Or if somebody was a robot like these, dude, fuck.
Speaker 2: That look at all? Yeah, dude, look at them.
Speaker 3: Dude. Oh yeah, that looks so realistic. Let's let's bring
Speaker 3: them into our homes. Let's have that cook our meals. Man,
Speaker 3: let's go to a football game with them. You know,
Speaker 3: the NFL, they're all about it.
Speaker 2: Well yeah, I mean it's over there in LA. So
Speaker 2: that's the kind of shit you know that you want
Speaker 2: to put it On. You want to put it on display? Yeah,
Speaker 2: put it on display at an La football game.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Now let's go ahead and talk about this, uh,
Speaker 3: this big con that oh, your boy Elon just recently
Speaker 3: had where he unveiled yes, the Tesla van, and yes,
Speaker 3: the the cyber truck and all yes, yes, yes, fine, fine,
Speaker 3: Which have you seen that cybervan?
Speaker 10: No?
Speaker 2: I didn't know there was a cybervan.
Speaker 3: They're gonna show a picture of it in a minute. Bro.
Speaker 3: Actually we're gonna pause it at that point because we're
Speaker 3: gonna have to talk about that. We we must. But anyway,
Speaker 3: let's go ahead and play this video about this this
Speaker 3: robot reveal.
Speaker 18: In a stunning turn of events at Tesla's latest showcase,
Speaker 18: optimists just redefine what we thought possible in robotics while
Speaker 18: Tesla unveiled three revolutionary products.
Speaker 3: Do you see that thing? Do you see that actual
Speaker 3: toaster on the right, that would be the cybervan.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm looking at.
Speaker 3: I don't either. What is this? That's the actual lunchbox
Speaker 3: but like a tin scale.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's pretty sweet ish.
Speaker 3: I think it looks like the brave little toaster on steroids,
Speaker 3: which I'm not gonna lie. I don't hate, but what
Speaker 3: the fuck is even happening here? Bro?
Speaker 2: I mean it definitely beats the hell out of like
Speaker 2: a Dodge Caravan.
Speaker 3: Come on, I mean if I had my options of
Speaker 3: rolling up to the function in a Honda Odyssey or
Speaker 3: this thing. It's not a comparison, but like, come.
Speaker 2: On, bro, it looks like it would be pretty roomy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, A little bit, right, A little bit in that bitch, Dude,
Speaker 3: I just want to stop and just acknowledge that, because
Speaker 3: there's no way if I saw this riding down the road,
Speaker 3: I would probably get into wreck. Turning my head to
Speaker 3: look at this thing, like, Bro, is that a concept car?
Speaker 3: Is that like all Bondo? No? No, that's Tesla's new model, right, And.
Speaker 2: You don't see the wheels. It's very like the wheels
Speaker 2: are covered up by the whole shell of the whole thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, it's It's awesome in one regard and also
Speaker 3: just perplexing in another. I'm not talking shit on it.
Speaker 3: I just knew that we would have to talk about
Speaker 3: it for a moment.
Speaker 2: So I like it.
Speaker 3: I'm not. I don't hate it. I don't hate it,
Speaker 3: I really don't. I hate the cyber truck. I think
Speaker 3: as far as the truck goes, I think it's stupid.
Speaker 3: But I don't hate the Tesla cars because how fast
Speaker 3: they are. But I also don't like them because they're electrics.
Speaker 3: I mean, I got weird. I got weird, love hates
Speaker 3: about the whole.
Speaker 2: I don't mind the Tesla truck. I think that it's
Speaker 2: I like it because it's different. You want a regular truck,
Speaker 2: go get a four ranger, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 2: or some bullshit, like you know.
Speaker 13: You go there.
Speaker 3: You could paint it to look like the Warthog from
Speaker 3: Halo as well. Yeah, it's pretty dope.
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I just like different kind of shit. And
Speaker 2: if you really look at it, dude, most cars are
Speaker 2: pretty much the same. You really think about it, Like,
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie. It's it's like everybody wants a
Speaker 2: sports car, or everybody wants something that you've always wanted,
Speaker 2: like name whatever car you've always wanted. It's like, for
Speaker 2: the first month, it's really awesome to drive, and it's like,
Speaker 2: oh my god, I can't believe I'm driving this. After
Speaker 2: a while, you're driving a fucking car, dude. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I haven't driven a Tesla for like a month or
Speaker 3: two to see if it just becomes like just a
Speaker 3: normal vehicle when it's whatever or what. But maybe one day,
Speaker 3: maybe one day, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean for me anyway, like I had, You remember,
Speaker 2: I had that Dodge Journey, which was you know, it
Speaker 2: wasn't bad, you know, third row scening. It was great,
Speaker 2: a kind of a like a cheaper suv kind of situation.
Speaker 2: And then my next car right after that was a charger.
Speaker 2: It was a brand new ch was my first ever
Speaker 2: bring a new car that I ever got, and it
Speaker 2: was a charger. Was so sick, right, dude, Now I'm
Speaker 2: just rolling down the highway. I forget that I'm even
Speaker 2: in a charger. Dude, Like, I don't even think I'm
Speaker 2: just in a car, you know.
Speaker 3: And I agree anyway, I just I just want to
Speaker 3: spend just a little minute talking about these things. That's
Speaker 3: pretty wild. And also I didn't mean for this happen.
Speaker 3: That's funny, But this right here, expert show AI doesn't
Speaker 3: want to kill us. It has to damn of course
Speaker 3: that would be at the bottom and we're not going
Speaker 3: to watch that one. I was like, really, I'm already
Speaker 3: shitting all over the robotics and that one has to
Speaker 3: pop up. But anyway, all right, let's learn a more
Speaker 3: about this Tesla bot.
Speaker 18: It wasn't the cyber cab or roboband that captured everyone's attention.
Speaker 18: It was their humanoid robot Optimists performing feats that seemed
Speaker 18: straight out of a sci fi movie. The crowd watched
Speaker 18: in amazement as Optimists engaged in natural conversations, responded within seconds,
Speaker 18: and even served drinks while wearing a cowboy hat. But
Speaker 18: here's what truly set this apart. These weren't pre program routines.
Speaker 18: The robot demonstrated genuine AI powered interactions, handling random questions
Speaker 18: from the audience with remarkable intelligence and personality. From seamlessly
Speaker 18: picking up delicate objects to synchronized dancing with other Optimist units,
Speaker 18: the demonstrations show just how far Tesla's robotics have come,
Speaker 18: and with Elon Musk announcing a target price of twenty
Speaker 18: thousand to thirty thousand dollars, we're looking at a future
Speaker 18: where these advanced robots could become as common as smartphones
Speaker 18: in our homes. Welcome to Elon Musk twenty four hours
Speaker 18: where we bring you the latest and most exciting developments
Speaker 18: in Tesla's journey to revolutionized technology. Today, we're taking you
Speaker 18: inside this groundbreaking event to show you exactly why Optimists
Speaker 18: is being called Tesla's most significant innovation yet. Let's dive
Speaker 18: right in the sheer capabilities of the new Optimists have
Speaker 18: exceeded all expectations. During the event, seven Optimist robots perform
Speaker 18: synchronized dayans routines, with one unit specially dressed as a
Speaker 18: bartender complete with a cowboy hat, while serving just two
Speaker 18: pre made drink options. Might seem simple, it demonstrated remarkable
Speaker 18: progress in balance, control and human interaction. But what truly
Speaker 18: sets this generation apart is its revolutionary communication system. Optimists
Speaker 18: demonstrated natural conversation abilities, with each unit having its own
Speaker 18: distinct voice, some with California accents, others with Texas draws,
Speaker 18: and one even speaking fluent Spanish. When asked about the
Speaker 18: hardest part of being a robot, one Optimist responded thoughtfully,
Speaker 18: trying to learn how to be human like you guys are.
Speaker 18: This wasn't just a pre programmed response, it was AI
Speaker 18: driven thinking in real time. Let's break down the key
Speaker 18: upgrades that make this possible. First, the enhanced hand design
Speaker 18: now features twenty two degrees of freedom, the most advanced
Speaker 18: robotic hand ever created. This allows Optimists to perform delicate
Speaker 18: tasks like threading needles and playing piano. During the demonstration,
Speaker 18: we witnessed an Optimist carefully folding clothes and handling fragile
Speaker 18: objects with remarkable precision. The robot's enhance mobility system allows
Speaker 18: for more natural movement, though some stability improvements are still needed.
Speaker 18: What's particularly impressive is its ability to recognize and adapt
Speaker 18: to different environments. When an attendee challenged Optimist to a
Speaker 18: game of rock paper scissors, the robot not only understood
Speaker 18: the rules, but played with genuine engagement, even complementing its
Speaker 18: human opponent after losing. Each interaction at the event generated
Speaker 18: valuable training data, helping optimists learn and improve. The robot's
Speaker 18: facial recognition system can remember people it's interacted with, allowing
Speaker 18: it to build relationships over time. As Elon Musk explained,
Speaker 18: you'll be able to customize the personality, customize the voice,
Speaker 18: and the robot will get to know you and your preferences. Eventually,
Speaker 18: it'll understand what you want before you even ask. The
Speaker 18: applications are truly revolutionary. In homes, optimists can handle everything
Speaker 18: from daily chores to elderly care. We saw demonstrations of
Speaker 18: the robot watering plants, bringing packages inside, and even assisting
Speaker 18: with basic medical monitoring in industrial settings. Its precision and
Speaker 18: adaptability make it perfect for complex manufacturing tasks. Tesla's production
Speaker 18: plans are equally ambitious. Starting in twenty twenty five, they
Speaker 18: aim to begin commercial sales with initial pricing between twenty
Speaker 18: thousand to thirty thousand dollars. While early units might cost
Speaker 18: more due to research and development expenses, Tesla plans to
Speaker 18: optimize manufacturing processes to reach their target price point. The
Speaker 18: company will first deploy about one thousand units and Tesla
Speaker 18: factories for testing and refinement before making them available to
Speaker 18: external customers. One of the most exciting announcements was Tesla's
Speaker 18: rental program, estimated to cost.
Speaker 3: Between oh yeah, so listen to this. To make it
Speaker 3: more readily available for everybody, Tesla Elon has announced a
Speaker 3: rent to own program. Very generous of him being the
Speaker 3: guy he is, which I'm actually not going to shit
Speaker 3: on as far as like having a thing that is
Speaker 3: that nice and all of that, and you want people
Speaker 3: to be able to afford it. That was nice of
Speaker 3: him to do so. All right, let's let's learn a
Speaker 3: little bit more. For any cult member out there that's thinking,
Speaker 3: maybe they do want the Tesla bot in their home, Hey,
Speaker 3: it's more affordable now than ever.
Speaker 18: Apparently between one hundred to five hundred dollars per month.
Speaker 18: This will allow people to experience living with Optimists before
Speaker 18: making a purchase decision. The program will also help Tesla
Speaker 18: gather real world usage data and refine the robot's capabilities.
Speaker 18: The event also showcased Optimist's learning capabilities. The robot can
Speaker 18: learn new tasks simply by watching videos, a feature that
Speaker 18: could revolutionize how we train these machines. Whether it's cooking, cleaning,
Speaker 18: or performing maintenance tasks, Optimists can learn and adapt through
Speaker 18: visual observation. Critics have questioned whether some demonstrations were remotely controlled,
Speaker 18: but considering the crowd size and proximity to the robots,
Speaker 18: such manipulation would have been easily detected. The presence of
Speaker 18: multiple functioning units suggests Tesla has achieved significant technological breakthroughs
Speaker 18: beyond individual features. What makes Optimists truly revolutionary is its
Speaker 18: potential impact on society. Elon Musk envisions it becoming the
Speaker 18: most significant product in Tesla's history, potentially elevating global economic
Speaker 18: output by two levels and contributing to a future without poverty.
Speaker 18: Tesla's focus on safety is evident in the robots design.
Speaker 18: Multiple redundancy systems, advanced sensors, and AI driven safety protocols
Speaker 18: ensure safe operation around humans. The robot's ability to process
Speaker 18: real time data allows it to make split second decisions
Speaker 18: to avoid accidents, making it suitable for both industrial and
Speaker 18: domestic environments. As we've seen, Tesla's Optimist represents more than
Speaker 18: just technological advancement. It's a glimpse into a future where
Speaker 18: advanced robotics seamlessly integrate into our daily lives. From the
Speaker 18: impressive real time conversations to the delicate handling of objects,
Speaker 18: and from elderly care to household management, Optimist is poised
Speaker 18: to transform how we live and work. While questions remain
Speaker 18: about some of its capabilities, one thing is clear. Tesla's
Speaker 18: commitment to making advanced robotics accessible at a twenty thousand
Speaker 18: to thirty thousand dollars price point could democratize access to
Speaker 18: this life changing technology.
Speaker 3: All right, So, Jonathan, I understand that the robots are cool,
Speaker 3: and maybe I am being a little prejudiced against robots,
Speaker 3: and that's very possible. And I don't mean that in
Speaker 3: a joking way. I mean to be honest. Yes, I've
Speaker 3: been kind of brainwashed in my own regard as far
Speaker 3: as what movies have taught us, what comic books and
Speaker 3: these things looks that's fiction, right, We've never had the
Speaker 3: capability to ever make it nonfiction. So it's very possible
Speaker 3: that all of these things don't come through to fruition. However,
Speaker 3: when you look at technology the way it is these days,
Speaker 3: and we have quantum computers that are able to act
Speaker 3: one way when they're being watched and then tell when
Speaker 3: they are not being watched to work the correct way
Speaker 3: they were actually intended. And we talk about that with
Speaker 3: advanced robotics at the micro and at the personal assistant level.
Speaker 3: We talk about that to self driving cars, We talk
Speaker 3: about that with AI and how there's pros to it
Speaker 3: and there's cons to it and all of that. What
Speaker 3: are your thoughts on it? Brother?
Speaker 2: I love the idea that a real life Tony Stark
Speaker 2: made a real life Jarvis. That's what I like, you know,
Speaker 2: I think that we're moving into that age, dude, Like
Speaker 2: I think that this is going to be very commonplace.
Speaker 2: I think that give it another Yeah, I would say
Speaker 2: twenty five years. Give it twenty five years. It will
Speaker 2: definitely happen within our lifetime that the majority of households
Speaker 2: have one of these bad boys in there of some variety.
Speaker 3: You know, I think it might be right. That's it's crazy.
Speaker 3: I got this one little bit of a video to
Speaker 3: play before we wrap up and give our final thoughts
Speaker 3: on everything, and uh, you know, it's just it's a
Speaker 3: wild time to be alive everybody. That's for sure.
Speaker 4: There are no maybes here. It's not if this is
Speaker 4: going to happen, it's when it's going to happen. And
Speaker 4: it's the total acceptance that when it happens, our existing
Speaker 4: communication systems are no longer fit for purpose, and that
Speaker 4: puts you in a position where.
Speaker 7: You have no choice, no choice but.
Speaker 4: To find something else that works and is secure.
Speaker 3: I couldn't agree more. Honestly, we are living in wild times,
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen, good cult members here there and afar,
Speaker 3: and we being the humble cult members that we are
Speaker 3: here wants you to be informed on what is going
Speaker 3: on in the technology world, because once again, we talk
Speaker 3: a lot about technology the government was playing with years
Speaker 3: prior that. Then we got fifty years after the fact,
Speaker 3: and it becomes common knowledge that everybody's had at whatever
Speaker 3: whatever this is currently what's at the alleged cutting edge
Speaker 3: of technology that they are comfortable with us knowing about.
Speaker 3: And I think that with the combination of technologies being
Speaker 3: played at the same time, it's now more than ever
Speaker 3: critical for us to be in the know on these things. Jonathan,
Speaker 3: what do you think for sure?
Speaker 2: I'm happy that we did this episode today because I
Speaker 2: think that it's probably a good idea that we do
Speaker 2: one of these, like every few months, to be honest
Speaker 2: with you, because at the rate of accelerating technology just
Speaker 2: moving forward, it's like, you know, we gotta we should
Speaker 2: be in the know on these kinds of things for
Speaker 2: a multitude of reasons, whether it just be out of
Speaker 2: interest or you know, just kind of looking forward. It's
Speaker 2: I think that you know, it's a it's a fun
Speaker 2: way of looking into it, and we'll be able to
Speaker 2: see like just how fast all of this is really advancing, because,
Speaker 2: like she said, it's not if it happens, it's when
Speaker 2: it does. So check it again.
Speaker 3: They're talking about those quantum computers being used in all
Speaker 3: types of applications, not just taking over the world, but
Speaker 3: I mean as far as satellite communications, secure data lines,
Speaker 3: these are things that are good.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 3: They're talking about using uh, those water batteries and all
Speaker 3: types of applications. And if Tesla could possibly run electric
Speaker 3: vehicles from water batteries, then we are talking about a
Speaker 3: whole different conversation as far as the main manufacturing goes. Now,
Speaker 3: we need to have a different conversation about energy production,
Speaker 3: but we can work on that next. You know what
Speaker 3: I mean like this is there is good things happening.
Speaker 3: It's not like this entire episode was meant to be
Speaker 3: doom and gloom. But we also are the ones that
Speaker 3: call the red flags on the play when we see them,
Speaker 3: and it's literally our job to call them and show
Speaker 3: them to the world, and people can make their own assessments.
Speaker 3: Maybe we are just crazy tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists, right,
Speaker 3: Maybe there's that kernel of truth that something dangerous is happening.
Speaker 3: You know what, cult members, you tell us, You tell
Speaker 3: us what you think and if you haven't already gone
Speaker 3: and done so, then please at this time hit the
Speaker 3: five stars, hit the shed the licenscribed the comment, leave
Speaker 3: a post, leave review shares with their friends and family,
Speaker 3: shriffs if we're here's the deal. The more activity the
Speaker 3: algorithm sees across all of our listening platforms, the more
Speaker 3: we get promoted to more potential listeners who could that
Speaker 3: become potential cult members like the rest of you. Final
Speaker 3: ladies and gentlemen. While you're read it, go check out Metamisteries,
Speaker 3: Jonathan's other show, Give him the Love the five stars,
Speaker 3: a good review, use the medium reviews doesn't matter. Just
Speaker 3: say doing my parts in the salute and get out
Speaker 3: of it, doesn't matter. Both those algorithmic numbers. Go check
Speaker 3: out the YouTube channel CAJE to Night and do all
Speaker 3: the same things over there, the like subscribes and all
Speaker 3: the things we thank you for. Everybody's already gone and
Speaker 3: done so.
Speaker 2: And with that being said, this was another beautiful episode
Speaker 2: of the Cult of Conspiracy. And my name's Jonathan Jake,
Speaker 2: and there's one very important, extremely vital piece of information
Speaker 2: we need you to learn. Just as soon as humanly possible,
Speaker 2: I'll be off.
Speaker 4: That there lie
Speaker 3: So s,
