  1. With examples and data points. And so after you listen to it, you have this idea, you realize the scope of evidence for their arguments. And then you're in a conversation a week later and somebody mentioned something and you're like, oh no, there's like at least seven pieces of hard evidence that prove this. You know, like this is just nothing but like the mainstream narrative to kind of hide away what was actually going on.

  2. And it's volumes one and two. So it's longer than you think it is, you know. But both of those books are great examples of just, I mean, how many names have you already forgotten? Oh, yeah. As you're going through the thing, I mean, it's just dense, unbelievably dense.

  3. It's crazy. It's just that the story of essentially the mafia and our intelligence agencies are the same. It's just one story. They're the same set of institutions for better for worse.

  4. That I've saved. I have the let's say I listen to an audiobook or whatever, like I listen to the real Anthony Fauci and the One Nation under blackmail. Like these books are so horrifically dense.

  5. Think the two most important technologies right now in the world hands down no questions asked for Bitcoin and AI. And with that kind of unraveling, I just kind of felt like this obligation to specifically reinforce or explore the open source self-hosted side of the conversation because everything I was finding was like, plug in Chad GPT, get an API from OpenAI and BARD and Google and all this stuff. And I'm just like, we're going to be in a shit. We're going to be an awful, awful place if this new wave of technology has this kind of order of magnitude ability to make us more productive and capable, but we can only have this capability by plugging into a Google server because immediately the use cases I saw, I mean, instantly my first thought was like, I want this thing to read and see everything that's happening on my computer. So I have a contextual way to search and make sense of things I did two weeks ago because I lost notes from two weeks ago. I have things.

  6. Even at that scale, there's just too much. It's kind of like hiding in a crowd, right? Is that if there's two billion people's worth of data out there? Like you just can't go through it all. You know, like I really think those are the major limiting factors to the degree of fraud that we have. It's not whether it's technically available or possible. But AI changes that because suddenly you can scale the attack. You can have a computer do all of this. A great example actually is I had Alex Lewin on the AI unchained podcast, which by the way, a lot of audience might not know. I started another podcast on this. As I started going down this rabbit hole, I was realizing just how like insane AI was going to be moving forward and how much I think it was going to change the landscape of practically everything.

  7. One out of 100 people might have that inclination, and then one out of 100 of those or a thousand of those might actually just go up and do something about it. And people are generally just like, I want to go about my day. I want things to work for me. And I don't want to call any trouble. To the point that we'll accept terrible things just to not make it uncomfortable. You know, we'll let ourselves get punished or will not do what is right for us just because we don't want to make a situation uncomfortable. We want to contradict people. Like we're generally people are generally nice. And then the other one is just the scale of the capability of the fraud just so drastically outweighs the ability to execute. Like even with like genuine institutions like organizations overseas in foreign countries that just kind of as a business attack first world countries for just pennies and any elderly person that's going to click on that email or whatever it is.

  8. I think the average price now of a credit card, a set of credit card information and ID and stuff on the dark web is like two bucks, five bucks, something like that. Like it's really cheap. I genuinely think the reason we don't have fraud as bad as we could have it. Like all of our information is out there. There's not this massive natural force to just break all the things, you know?

  9. Thing about AI is, and I think probably the biggest thing that, or at least the first thing that kind of opened my eyes to this and made me realize that there's going to be a major problem with the way there are payment systems and our monetary structure works, like just a credit-based system works and where we are in kind of our digital transition and what AI models and both image generation, video generation and audio generation is going to really mess with all of the tools we have for proving that you are human online. I think we essentially lose that ability. And I don't think the timeline is very long on that. In fact, I think realistically if an attacker was genuinely like seriously motivated that you could essentially get, I mean, with the

  10. Yeah, actually, quite a bit of good feedback. And one of them, one thing in particular we'll bring up kind of when we hit that point because it really reinforced one of the topics that I was talking about specifically about like the level of fraud and issues with dealing with payments and payment processors and credit cards in kind of the era of bots everywhere, which is only getting worse with this new wave of technology that we're seeing. But yeah, generally a lot of people probably like seven or eight people that I talk to basically gave me some little anecdote or something essentially reinforcing. I didn't get any contradictions to the argument, which I was actually wanted to invite because I'm curious where obviously it's not a complete picture. And I'm curious where there's nuance or pushback. But I think the general quote unquote thesis is I think it's the proper way to think about where things are headed.
