Surviving America 065: FAA - AI - and Friday

Society in every state is a blessing. A government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil the future. That's already your welcome into Surviving America, folks. James Walton here to talk the FAAAI Friday weeks from now, Yesterday, Tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday, you name it. So much going on, I don't want to I want to divert from the updates. We got a talk sponsor. I have a terrifying essay here from a guy named Mike Schumer that I want to read to you. Let me let me make sure I get the name right, Yeah, Matt, Matt Schumer. I want to talk about the l Paso Airspace closure. Apparently it's been lifted already. Whatever the situation was has been situationed. And Friday Night talk about Friday Night. Actually I need your help Friday Night. It just kind of occurred to me that we could get PBN family help on Friday Night's Late Night show. But let's get started where we need to get started. Today's sponsor is hydro Voltech and they're awesome. Kickstarter is still going on. They need backers to make this project the reality. I'd really like to see this project become a reality, because I'd really like to sell the Oasis on Redbeacon Ready Dot Shop, our new preparedness store. If you haven't been there, check it out. There's a link to both down below. But suffice it to say, you know this machine right here, and though it looks like an AMMO, and it is, but it's also a three and one survival device right it. What I've done with it is I've been able to make drinking water from creek water using distillation and steam, and I've also been able to make power using steam. And it's all built right inside here. You're tubing everything that you need other than the fire itself and the uh you know, the pressure canner or pressure cooker is right in that unit there, and you should have a pressure cooker, pressure canner anyway, right, the canning of foods and so forth. So visit their Kickstar to become a backer. You don't. You could pledge any amount you want. You can pledge a dollar, right, you can pledge any amount you want. If you pledge up to a certain amount, you're gonna get cool stuff. Right. If you pledge like twenty nine bucks, you're gonna get one of their cool t shirts. Depending on how my week goes, I'll probably wind up doing us that. I am definitely gonna go pledge for five bucks at the very least. I mean, it's the least we can do, right, So check them out Kickstarted. They've been great to us. They sent us one of those units on the house. I did a full review on it over at Rumble. You can watch and the link directly to the Kickstarter. Like I said in the show description show notes of the podcast, all of the above. All right, give them some love. I'm gonna leave this scrolling down below so as people come in or whatever the situation is, you see it, you understand this is available. In the meantime, let's get into the show. Let us get into the show. I want to hear what these people have to say. I'm very interested. So I'm gonna disappear and we're gonna bring up this. Because we were watching my son and I'm my youngest and I were watching the sort of closure situation. FAA closed the airspace down in Texas for ten days and we were speculating what it was. We were speculating what it was on PBN as well. And now we should be able to barring any Internet seizures due to ads probably going to get an AD right off the bat right. In and out of El Paso International Airport. This comes after saying flights would be grounded for more than a week for quote security issues. From more on this, We're joined by CBS News senior Transportation correspondent and super Vowcal correspondent Chris Cleeve. Chris, help us understand what's going on here? Sure? What we are learning now is that there had been concern about cartel drones that appeared to breached US airspace, prompting a government response, and those activities were creating some concerns about how all of those aircraft would interact with commercial aircraft, prompting the FAA to halt all flights under eighteen thousand feet. They put that ten day restriction up. We don't know why it was ten days. A new year is the change of strengthen yourselves against age related breakdown, introducing fat the essential daily boot. But now that this activity has been commenced, it appears that the Department of Defense and the Department of Transportation have determined there is not a risk to commercial aircraft and they're going to allow. Flights to resume. When this was put into place overnight without a lot of notice, it was listed for special security reasons. That prompted Yeah, I don't know, folks, what do you think? You feel good about that? Can you feel good about that? You feel like that's that's a throwaway or something like that. What do you think, Hey, Phoenix, what's up? I feel like it might be a throwaway. Excuse anything that happens on the southern border can kind of be uh be pushed off as right, the cartel drones are in the airspace, first of all, I feel like that should be a big like we need to talk about that more because if what you're telling me is that cartels are now to the point where they can put enough drones in the airspace that it makes it downs American flights, stopping American business and commerce and family and so on, that's a big problem. That's a big problem has to go away like yesterday, Right to me, it felt like something to me, it felt like something bigger. It felt like an operation. It felt like it felt like, well, what I said in the signal chat to the host is either they're looking for something big or they're pulling someone big out right, like somebody big is getting like a like a molar is getting pulled out of the cartel mouth, you know what I mean. The phoenix kinda kind of my sentiment, right, there's a lot going on down there, a lot going on down there. When I started thinking about the searching, immediately the Iranians came to mind, you know, immediately the Iranians came to mind. Let me show you something real quick on my phone. For those of you listening to the podcast, you'll want you'll want to know about this resource. If you don't know about this resource already now, only if you're not going to drive yourself crazy with it. Because this is one of those things. See, I can't impress upon you how important it is to have people who do things so that you don't have to do everything. You know what I mean? Where on Earth, Chin Gibson is the link there. It is so every so often Chinn will send us the flight tracker map that he's looking at. Okay, every so often you get a message from Chin that looks like this, okay, and you get it. You get it. You start, you look at it at face value. It's not really all that scary. But then when you start looking at certain kinds of planes up close, they kind of freak you out a little bit. You start seeing things that look kind of familiar, particularly if you do it around air bases. Now, this little yellow balloon right here, this is right down on the on the border, and that is a border patrol balloon, surveillance balloon. I'm sure. You press on the onto the balloon itself and you can see customs and Border protection operation. Now, there's a million ways to use this app. There's a bunch of letters on the side. According to chin uh if you click on the U button, it will toggle between showing all commercial and governant military flights to off only showing government military flights. So you can imagine what Chin spends his time looking at our comms and radar man here at PBN. Right, these things like they don't happen because I say they don't happen to they just happen. It's just natural. It's really cool friends, is what it is. It's a contingency of cool friends that live under the mask of hosts here at the Prepper Broadcasting Network, you know, But these things just stay happen. Somebody's looking at a at a flight tracker map as soon as the FAA says we're closing the skies down. And it's just cool, you know what I mean. But it's something you can do, or it's something you can show to someone on your team and teach them how to use it, so that same sort of eyes are on the prize for you. You know, it's open to everybody. Everybody can watch it. Of course, there's probably just as many planes in the sky that you can't see that don't have their transponders on. These only pick up flights with transponders on. But you can learn a lot. Over the years, we've seen a lot, we've figured a lot out. We've all the way back actually to twenty twenty. I remember Chin using this during the big Second Amendment protest here in Richmond of Virginia, when I had the sort of birth of the Emergency Operations Center here at PBN, which is turned into our Element chat room. You gotta get with the newsletter, Okay, you got to go over to pbnfamily dot com and sign up for the newsletter because we're gonna start onboarding lots of people into Element, our encrypted chat room, because the Internet is dying and you need a place to hide and a police to hang out when you're on the Internet because the well, I'm not sure if the internet's dying or if the Internet's already dead, to be quite honest with you, but I can tell you right now is and what's a good It's sort of like the tsunami hit two years ago, and you're far enough inland that you could see it coming. And now what you do from here on out will tell the story of your life going forward, particularly your Internet life. Right like, what you do with your time on the Internet just is what it is. I want to show you an essay. Now that we're talking dead Internet, we might as well flow right into artificial intelligence because it has everything to do with the future, your future, what the future should look like, what your future will look like, whether you like it or not. Right because we've all reached a point is whether you like it or not, it's adaptability. At this point, we're at a point in time now where the words I said back in twenty twenty when I started to cure Babical Escape Plan podcasts ring much truer than they ever have, which is entrepreneurship as a survival imperative adaptability right. And here's why this article from Schumer dot dev Okay, this Matt Schumer guy is an AI developer, a big money AI developer. I mean, that's who and what he is. I'm not going to read the whole thing to you. I should be clear about something up front. Even though I work in AI, have almost no influence over what's about to happen. Neither does the vast majority of the industry. The future is being shaped by a remarkably small number of people, a few hundred researchers at a handful of companies Open Ai, Anthropic, Google, DeepMind, and a few others. A single training run, managed by a small team over a few months can produce an AI system that shifts the entire trajectory of technology. We've given and PBN family, We've given over the digital power to the lizards. And as I read through this, I just want you to remember we can always leave. We probably should be planning to leave, but I just you know, in the anxiety of it all, like you watch the movie The Village. I'm not even kidding, except those red things in the forest aren't aren't. They're like AI drones anyway, But it's time now, not in an Eventually we should talk about this way, but this is happening right now, and I need you to understand it way. Okay, this is where it gets crazy. Here's the thing nobody outside of tech quite understands. Yet. The reason so many people in the industry are sounding in the alarm right now is because this already happened to us. For years, AI had been improving steadily, big jumps here and there, but each jump was spaced out enough that you could absorb them as they came. Then, in twenty twenty five, new techniques for building these models unlocked. I was using AI. I'm jumping ahead here. I was using AI more and more, going back and forth with it, less and less, watching it handle things I used to think required my expertise. Okay, now this just happened of a February fifth, folks. Okay. On February fifth, two major AI labs released new models on the same day, GPT five point three Codex from Open AI and Opus four point six from Anthropic. The makers of Claude. Claude, you may remember, conducted a massive or you may not even know this, conducted a massive hacking operation through China that required very little human input at all. Okay, this happened twenty twenty four, twenty five, so where was I at. I'm no longer needed for the actual technical work of my job. This is This is the dude who is making the AIS talking. I describe what I want built in plain English, and it just appears not a rough draft the finished thing. I tell the AI what I want, walk away from my computer for four hours, and come back to find the work done, hardly making any edits. He says, let me give you an example so you can understand what it is actually what it actually looks like in practice. I'll tell the AI quote, I want to build this app. Here's what it should do. Here's roughly what it should look like. Figure out the userflow, that design all of it. And it doesn't. It writes tens of thousands of lines of code and it's part of it. Opens up the app itself. It clicks through the buttons, it tests the features, It uses the app a way a person would. It's ready for you to test, right, and when I tested, it's usually perfect. So AI what this guy's getting at largely and this isn't the most terrifying part yet, But AI is getting to the point now. This guy says in its in its latest iterations, that you could tell it what you want and you get what you want ninety nine point nine percent. Right. Just build me an app that does X, Y and Z Boom, it does it and you're done. Little bit of tweaking, maybe excuse me, but it was a model that was released last week GPT five point three codex that shook me the most. It was making intelligent decisions that had something that felt for the first time like judgment, like taste, the inexplicable sense of knowing the right call always said a I would never have this model has it. I'm sorry, I'm trying to jump ahead because I want to look. I'm looking for the part where tells us that the AI is building the AI now, because that's the most terrifying part of it. Right. AI Labs made a deliberate choice. They focused on making AI grade at writing code first, because building AI requires a lot of code. If AI can write that code, it can help build this next version of itself, a smarter version, which writes better code, which builds an even smarter version. Making AI grade at coding was a strategy that unlocks everything else. That's why they did it first. My job started changing before yours because they were targeting software engineers. It was just a side effect. The models available today are unrecognizable for what existed six months ago. He goes into talk about it, goes on to talk a lot about how you should be using AI and using paid models of AI now. Personally, when I see an AI developer telling me I need to use paid models of AI, I already know that the whole of AI is a bubble. They're not making money compared to what it takes to run the omnis the the the not the Omnisiah what we could call it the Omnisiah for now, the abominable intelligence. But look, he wants you to pay money for AI. That's a piece of this puzz It's gotta be a piece of this puzzle, right And in fact, when you read an article like this, what would compel a guy named Matt Schumer to write an article this long and this involved. Would a guy who knows AI as good as this guy knows AI spend his time writing an article this long and this involved. If he had access to the most up to date versions of artificial intelligence, who in their right mind unless they're a writer or compelled to write something very personal, which this is not very personal. Why wouldn't he You just plug the prompt into AI and say, hey, write me a great and compelling article about my own personal experience working with artificial intelligence, and throwing a little blurb in there about how people need to use paid AI. I don't need to go over this stuff, but I guess I will. Twenty twenty two. AI couldn't do basic arithmetic reliably right twenty twenty three. It could pass the bar exam twenty twenty four, could write working software and explain graduate level science. By late twenty twenty five, some of the best engineers in the world said they had handed over most of their coding work to AI. On February fifth, twenty twenty six, new models arrived that made everything before them feel like a different era. What's next, PBN family, What is next? Here you go? AI is now building the next AI. This is the moment, right This is the moment that where we lose grip. It's literally right right now, it's happened. The moment when humanity loses grip over AI is when AI starts up updating, upgrading, AI because it's only going to take a few iterations before the smartest people in the world go oh, right before the smartest people on the whole planet go I don't know what it's doing. It's getting better. My videos are cooler. He goes in to talk about a bunch of jobs, and you know, get your affairs in order. I mean, he says something to the effect of, like, get your financial house in order, get your financial house in order. I'm not a financial advisor. The next few years could bring real disruption to your industry, he says, Lean into what's hardest to replace. Some things will take longer for AI to display. Relationships and trusts built over years. Work that requires physical presence roles and licensed with licensed accountability roles where someone still has to sign off, take legal responsibility, stand in the courtroom. Industries with heavy regulatory hurdles, he says, But they buy time time. This is a very important one. I wanted to read to you guys. Rethink what you're telling your kids. The standard playbook, get good grades, go to good college, land a stable professional job. It points directly at the roles that are most exposed. I'm not saying education doesn't matter, but the thing that will make what matter most in the next generation. Learn how to work with these tools and pursuing things they're genuinely passionate about. Nobody knows exactly what that job market looks like in ten years, but the people most likely thrive are the ones who deeply are deeply curious, adaptable, adaptable. Look at that me and me and old Matt, Sam Schumer, Harold Schumer, what's his name? Teach your kids to be builders and learners, not to optimize for a career path that might not exist by the time they graduate. I'm sorry about the coughing. Guys. If we're gonna do this live, I'm gonna cough because I'm still getting over whatever or whatever COVID strain is in my lungs at the moment. Your dreams just got a lot closely yet we go want to talk about sort of the bigger picture and whatnot. But if you want to read this something Big is happening by Matt Schumer. It's from his sort of blog over at x. If you want to read the whole thing, I gave you the highlights, I gave you the cliffs notes, and is what it is. You know, we talked about this point on PBN for a long time. You've probably listened to a lot of AI podcasts that have talked about this point where AI begins updating AI on its own. It's here, it's here. Now. Remember you're human mostly, and you still have everything that exists off of this thing. You're watching me, listening to me on and I really do believe people like us naturally are most prepared for what's coming, because what group of people are better prepared to cut ties with this cyberpunk dystopia that we live in now, not that we will live in, but that we live in and head off into the hinterlands to grow their own food, raise their own food, and have life just the way that we always have. I think it will happen. I think, well, I know it is happening and has happened. I've listened to people for years who are doing it already. You may also, right, I guess the big question is when do we open? When do we go into Arizona, Phoenix or not phen New Mexico. When do we go into a place and decide to call it PBN city and start to do our own thing. You know, that's the big question. That's the big question. When does when does PBN city take take route? And that could be fun, that'd make for some good content, But genuinely it is unnerving, right, it is an unnerving thing. Let's talk to our man born to brat. My kid is at a crossroad right now. I'm telling him to learn a trade, society says otherwise. I don't think anyone has a grasp of how dire the situation is. AI will wipe out everything. I think AI will wipe out everything digital. I think AI has wiped out everything digital I do. I think niche corners of the Internet will exist, private corners of the Internet exit will exist where people hang out. Real life content creators like myself and others that you watch will probably speak to those people over there, because if you think places like YouTube and rumble and x are going to exist, there's just no way unless they immediately, at this moment, right now, say no AI. This is the only way they could do it. No AI, you know what I mean, No AI whatsoever on our platforms. That's the only stop gap they have. But of course none of them care about it because they're all selling advertising. So the more content to better, right, who cares what it is? Who cares what it is? Because before long they'll have AI viewership. And I guess really, at the end of the day, for the corporate monolith, all you need is to figure out how to make AI. Does it matter if people buy from you or not? That's the big question on my mind. Watch it. When you start going down the rabbit hole of the internet dying, you start thinking yourself, does a matter if people buy buy your products or not? And what I mean by that is, if artificial intelligence can generate income, why can't it? Why won't artificial intelligence be able to get an online job from another artificial intelligent business on the internet? Right? And if that artificial intelligent bot on the internet can go to your website and buy your product, it can already go to your website and listen to your podcast, It can watch your video, It can hit the like button on your video, right, it can leave bot comments on your X So why can't it make some kind of money on the Internet for doing a thing? Maybe it's doing a thing for another AI, and then it starts buying products, and then AI starts serving AI ads, and there's a whole just the Internet is just taken over by the whole thing. Who needs people? These corporations don't need people. They need people to buy stuff. All they need is the bottom line. All they need is to be able to say the The shareholder meeting went really well, stock markets booming. Nobody buys our products quite like artificial intelligence spots, and we don't even need to deliver them real products. It's wonderful, so born to brap I mean, you know, in my head, for my kids, I like to think of it as sort of a duel, and I thought of it myself the same way too, as sort of a dual. Maybe more than a duel, but at the very least as a dual sort of professionalism. Right, you should be you should definitely have a way to make money with your feet and hands and your own mind. Right, that's essential I think nowadays. But nothing wrong with nothing wrong with pursuing what it is that you're really passionate about either because it could hit, it could turn out to be the thing. And with artificial intelligence, there's no doubt that true innovators and people who really think outside the box can do amazing stuff. You know, I have a dream. I have a dream. Today has very little to do with prepping and things like that, but it has a lot to do with fitness. And it'll come true because of AI probably be the only way that it comes true. And you'll see, it's gonna be a lot of fun. It's gonna be real fun for me. I can tell you that much. But so you know, amid the doom and gloom of it all, I think it is kind of fun to play with it. I think it is fun to kind of help it it, help help use it to help you have a good life on the earth. Because look, here's the reality. And I don't like I don't I'm not the kind of guy who says this kind of stuff because I don't believe it for a lot of things. But here's the reality. You're not stopping it, and you're not helping it. You're not helping or hurting it. Let's be real, right, those days are over. I think we were helping it be before we knew we were helping it, right, we were helping it when we were posting blog posts in two thousand and four. That's when we were helping it, right, We didn't know it. So you're not hurting it and you're not helping it, so you might as well use it and enjoy it and have fun with it. Get to know it, get to know what it's capable of for you. You know, you've got how many more years left of this life. You should optimize it. You should enjoy it. You should find out how it can help you and do things for you and maybe make you some money. It goes way beyond just generating creepy images and music, you know what I mean, Like it can do any crazy things and it's only going to get better. All that said, you know, the internet's dead. This interaction that we're having is not necessarily dead. But you know, the idea that you're going to find new creators and be able to look them in the eyes and go that might be real. Now. Sarah Hathaway and I have talked already about PBN outside of the Digital world, PBN the Changing Earth, Music interaction, human interaction, touring outside of the Internet world, and that will be a thing that it might not be a thing this year, but it will be a thing, you know, because the people need people and that's all there is to it. So for born to Bratman, you know, I think it's good to do both, I really do. J Ferg says, trades pay well, it's just hard work, but hard work isn't needed. I mean, as a prepper, you're out here learning trades anyway, right, you know what I mean. We're out here learning trades for just for survival. I mean, what are you doing when you're out there blacksmith? And what are you doing when you're learning how to build cabins or work would or that kind of stuff? Right? You're learning a trade anyway. And you know what's been a balance for me? I know I'm not necessarily normal person, but like in many ways I am, but in some ways I'm also cuckoo. And it has been a balance to live a good life, a measure of and a mixture and the people around me too. I see it in the people around me, those of those who are happiest, right, they have some kind of a balance between head down work and passion and in their lives. There's a balance there, and it's a good one. So when I look at my kids the same way I would recommend you look at yours. It's what you try to instill in them. You try to say, like there's a part. There's times in life when you got to put your head down and work. But that doesn't mean you have to work for nothing, right, and you should also balance that out with times where you put your head down and really work on something that you just can't get enough of. Those things that you can't get enough of in life, right, so long as they're not killing you or I don't know, sometimes wonder, so long as they're not killing you, you know in a way that's bad for you and everyone around you, those things are priceless, man. So yeah, let's talk about some shows and some stuff. I know it's heavy. It's heavy topic. You can't talk about AI without like walking away dripping wet, but it is what it is. It's a heavy topic. Now let's talk about how we could get you to help us in the short term. PBN Late Night will be on Friday ten eleven eleven pm Eastern. Pretty sure it's eleven pm Eastern. Yeah, Friday eleven pm is correct me? If I'm wrong, Phoenix, I don't remember, We'll go with eleven. PBN Late Night will be on eleven pm Eastern Standard Time Friday night. Okay, don't miss it. Tune in for those of you who are up and Adam at that time, I'll be drinking a car to try and do this thing for sure. But we've got a very interesting show. I mean, for those of you who are participate in chat and will participate in chat, we need your help. We need you to run some tests. If you have Faraday fabric, Faraday bags, Faraday containers, Faraday boxes, homemade Faraday gadgets, we need you to test them this week. We need you to put your phone in a Faraday container, Faraday bag, Faraday pouch and have your wife or your husband, or your spouse, or your kids or your friends call the phone and see if it's really working or not. Because today this week's show, we'll talk about a lot of things, but one of the biggest notes, one of the highlights of PBM Late Night is to debunk whether or not, not necessarily to debunk it, but to find out whether or not these Faraday bags and things really work. Moreover, for how long? So in other words, you get a really cool little sln T bag like I have. I remember it working, but we called it after PBN Late Night last week or last two weeks ago, and the calls came through, and this really surprised me. And we'll talk more about it with the show, you know, progressing. But I just think as it's not too I don't want to dissuade anybody, and I don't want to hurt anybody's business. But at the same time, it's just like sort of buying a water filter. Right If I had a water filter and it worked for a year and didn't work anymore after that, wouldn't I tell you? You know what I mean? So tonight we're going to talk about that, and I'm sorry, not tonight Friday night, we're going to talk about that on PBN Late Night and god knows whatever else. Okay, don't miss it. It'll let the very least be lease the tea, myself and Ja from Phoenix Survival, Jordan from Phoenix Survival, those of you who are new, and it'll be a great time. It'll be a great bring your you know, your deepest lizard people conspiracies to chat and we'll have fun with that too. That's what the show is all about. Today. In just an hour, you're gonna have Sammantha Biggers, and Jordan from Phoenix Survival talking about security and defense from a women's perspective. Really awesome show. The other thing about that show that's crazy it's coming on at noon today Eastern is uh. It's right in the heart of COVID, hitting right in like the moment where nobody quite understands what COVID is doing. And it's a really cool sort of picture of that moment in time from PBN and Prepper's perspective. Really cool. It is like an archival data slate. It's really sweet. Caleb Collier, Church and State later later today, three pm Eastern Standard time. We're talking about Article five, right, the Convention of the States, Power to the people and so on. Don't miss that one. That's great. He's got a great guest on and tonight for the insomniacs as well. We have a nineteen fifty two old time radio show called I Was a Communist for the FBI and nineteen fifty two, folks, it's really it's really wild to think that in nineteen fifty two we had entertainment with the title I Was a Communist for the FBI, And now we have communists running New York City. They've come a long way. You got to give them credit. They've come a long way, all right, folks. Don't forget support our great sponsor, hydro Voltech back there Kickstarter, man, it's uh, we're the only ones that are gonna bring that thing back to life, or bring that idea to life. They've got another great product that their kickstarter too, that creates electricity from power and by backing them you can get your hands on one of those two. So please check them out at the link down below. And yeah, man, I don't know they need the backers. We need them to become a thing. I'd love to sell the Oasis at our website, our new website for preparedness right Redbeaconready dot shop. Go check that out as well, and enjoy the content on PBN. Man, it's insane, it's outrageous what's happening here at the network. If you want to get rid of the ads, you can become a supporter. It's a link down there for that too. It's only five bucks a month. You don't got to listen ads anymore, All ad free from that moment on five bucks a month. Come on, you're gonna be here. It's tons of great content, all right, folks. Until next time, we'll talk to youse S
