This is Charleston's Morning News with Kelly and Plays on
ninety four to three WSC.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
President Trump announces a ceasefire.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
We're covering this morning's top stories. President Trump says Israel
and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire. Trump posted there
will be a complete and total ceasefire. Trump adds that
this is an official end to the twelve day war
and it will be saluted by the world. He concluded
by saying, God bless Israel, God bless Iran, God bless
the Middle East, God bless the United States of America,
(00:37):
and God bless the world. Israel is confirming the ceasefire,
and at the same time, however, they're also now claiming
that its terms have already been violated. In making the
initial announcement, Prime Minister Benjamin Nettnyahu thank the US for
its help in going after Iran's nuclear facilities and set
the goal of eliminating Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile threat
had been achieved. Just hours later, is Reel accused Iran
(01:01):
of launching missiles that sent civilians scrambling into bomb shelters.
That followed an earlier vow from Netanyahu that Israel would
respond forcefully if the truce was violating. Iran did I's
firing any missiles after the ceasefire took effect.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
So this is a tough one because Fox was reporting
at the top of the hour that four people in
Israel have been killed due to these bombings.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
Yeah, there was a direct strike. They managed to intercept
most of them, but one of these ballistic missiles got
through and struck an apartment building and killed four people.
So Iran is now, you know, or rather Israel is
now saying they're going to respond forcefully. So you know,
as soon as Trump announced this, I'm like, you can't
(01:44):
trust these people.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
Yeah, I felt the same way. I mean, I'm my
first immediate reaction was thank god, everyone's word, this is
going to be world War three and we don't know,
we don't know where this is going to go. But
my first reaction and was happiness. But then I thought, no,
if we even got all of their nuclear.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Weapon my first reaction was that you can't trust Iran.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Well, I mean that remains the case, much like Russia,
who's out here saying, oh, well, we you know, we're
I don't know if you caught some of the analysis
from Fox, but even Russia set on X one of
their main guys, Medviev. He is saying, well, you know,
(02:32):
even if they got some of them, we would be
there and other countries would be there to re enrich,
if you will. And I thought, oh my gosh, that
was just to take some of the bluster away from
Trump in an attempt for peace. I don't know, but.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yeah, well, I mean they have to posture, and that's
what they're doing. But Iran, I heard on left wing media,
They're like, you know what, this, this whole thing, this
attack on Iran's nuclear capabilities, is going to backfire because
now Iran is vollowing to back out of these agreements
and all of this. And I'm like, they haven't followed
(03:11):
any of these agreements. Like, what are you talking about, Bozo?
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I would agree with that. What are they talking about?
I don't think many times in and what they're talking about.
I mean, look, here we are this morning, supposed to
be talking about a ceasefire when there are four dead
in Israel this morning and Iran is claiming it's not
their weapons, it's not at their hands. Who's firing this.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
Well, it looks like Iran is lying right again. But
you know what sometimes, you know, leading up to these ceasefires,
everybody tries to get their last punches in right. And
you know, when Trump announced it, it was supposed to
take place I think six hours later from his announcement,
and Israel was still and he's like, once this round,
(03:57):
you know, what's already been activated, is going to finish out,
and then there will be the ceasefire. So there's the
rub It's like, all right, what's the timeline there? And
Israel was still bombing Iran in when that ceasefire was announced,
and it was supposed to take place in six hours,
(04:19):
and then a couple of hours after that is when
Iran supposedly lobbed these missiles into Israel. So we'll give
it another twenty four hours and see if it calms
down or not, and if they at least pretend to
abide by the ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Well, and I don't know about I'm looking for the
timeline of this comment from Russia's former president medviev that
I was mentioned Dmitri Medvieva. He put out on X
that the Security Council in Russia. I believe it was
it was before the ceasefire. He said, a number of
countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own
(04:56):
nuclear warheads. I obviously they we're going to continue to
talk about this, but well, and.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
There's other people that are saying that there were trucks
lined up at Fidoh and enough trucks to carry out
the materials, right the guns, along with equipment and everything,
and they're afraid that they moved that stuff before the strike.
So you know, again, we can play armchair quarterback all
(05:27):
we want, and we're not privy to the information that
Trump or bb net and Yahoo received the intelligence. So
you know, I don't know how you We'll just have
to wait and see how will the new ceasefire announced
between Israel and Iran effect the NATO summit scheduled for today, Well,
the NATO summit at the Hague in the Netherlands today
will have a different agenda. The meeting comes right on
(05:49):
the heels of the ceasefire between Iran and Israel. It
was announced by President Trump on Monday. NATO leaders will
now discuss the US and perhaps NATO's involvement in that
peace process with Ukraine. President Trump will be in the
Netherlands for the summit.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
So Zelenski will be there, no sit down with Trump expected,
it's not on the dock, that it's not on the schedule,
and they're making a big deal about that. I thought
that was interesting.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
The media is making a big deal right exactly. I
haven't heard Selensky make a big deal about it.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Well, what is he going to do? He's being seems
as this as if he's being shunned. So I mean
he was he going to make a big deal about
Well is.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
That the media painting it that way? Or has he
said so?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
I have just saying what it seems like, and it
certainly could be the press either way. It's the big
story here is most definitely going to be whether, uh,
you know, this cease fire holds, if we're even calling
it that at this point. I mean, you've got a
Ron's foreign minister saying there's no ceasefire deal despite what
(06:55):
Trump announced yesterday. But if Israel halts are stricks by
early today and this was out at five thirty AMR
time this morning, that Iran would do the same you
mentioned I think before the break about Cutter quietly kind
of shuttling messages between DC and Tehran and them sticking
their chest out saying that they may fire back on Iran.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
So Cutter's been very measured and they try to be
diplomatic with all sides, and even they were upset with
Iran for firing those missiles into the US air base
and Cutter yesterday. So you know, if Cutters even threatening Iran,
then you know that Iran's in the wrong, and we
(07:41):
all know that. And we were just talking about how
the media paints things, not only in Ukraine but also
with this attack. So they've been saying, well, calling into
question whether you know Trump was telling the truth, on
whether you know their nuclear capabilities had been destroyed, and
whether the mission was a success, and Trump said only
(08:04):
the fake news would say anything different in order to
try and demean as much as possible. He says, working
especially hard on this falsehood is Alison Cooper of fake
news CNN. Of course he's referring to Anderson Cooper, so
he calls him Alison Cooper on fake news CNN. He says, dumb,
Brian L. Roberts, chairman of Concast, Johnny Carl of ABC
(08:29):
fake news and is always the losers of again Concasts
NBC fake news. So he wasn't holding back and was
pretty upset with the media behavior over the coverage of
these strikes.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
On a round oh Man. Even Press Secretary Caroline Levitt
was out there demanding retractions from what is it CNN?
He called con news. Yeah, she was like, wait a second, Louis,
let a bipartisan You know, the leaders both know that
this was happening. I mean, they can't help that. Hakeem
Jefferies doesn't bother to pick up the phone.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Well, while all this was going on yesterday, while Iran
was bombing this air base in Cutter, I was actually
listening to CNN in the car, and I thought that
they had very fair coverage. Now, this was not Alison
Cooper coverage. And then when he comes on, it's all drama.
(09:27):
It's a different it's a different vibe when Alison Cooper
the first job.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I've ever heard him called Anderson Cooper Alison.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's a different vibe when he's on the air. But
I thought during the day yesterday and while the attack
was happening, and they were talking about President Trump, not
in derogatory terms. They laid out the facts, and I
thought their coverage was good.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Well, they have to come around. I've been saying this
for quite some time, and this administration has been doing
their best to hold a line on the propaganda press,
and they're bs quite frankly, and I'm glad to see it.
They're allowing other media in. They're switching up their seats
in the press room. They're saying no more, that the
(10:10):
American people are sick of this, and so how many
people need to lose their jobs? How many people are
going to lose their contracts? How many you know? How
far are your rating is going to go? How low
before you recognize that the American people are sick of
being fed propaganda and lied to. So glad to hear
(10:30):
it that they're coming around. For all the fans of
CNN con News Network, post President Trump's announcement with the
complete and total ceasefire between Israel and Iran, it was
moments did you notice the Vice President jd. Vance jumped
on Fox News with Brett Behar and the Special Report
talking about how dangerously close Lron was being capable with
(10:53):
the nuclear weapons and said they would face consequences if
they tried to build up their program again.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I hope they'll choose that path because I know the
president wants to see the Middle East become peaceful and
prosperous in the future. That's not going to happen if
I Ran pursues a nuclear weapon again.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
So you got Rush out here saying, well, we're lined
up and other nations are to help them if they
need it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, I mean that's still yet to be seen, and
you know, everybody's doing their saber rattling everybody. You know,
I've talked about this several days in a row, where
what they say to the world and what they say
on the stage as far as public relations go, is
oftentimes different than what they will tell other world leaders
in private. And so in Iran, for instance, I mean,
(11:37):
they're trying to show strength to their own citizenry because
if they don't, that regime crumbles there and the people
are no longer going to fear them, and then they're
going to lose control. So that's just one instance, but
there could be all kinds of motivations for doing something
like that, and so we don't know if Russia's you know,
(12:01):
ready to follow through on their word on that.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Meanwhile, the toppling of this regime is exactly what this
administration is hoping for the people of Iran to, you know,
fulfill their own destiny.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, Kumani, the you know, the supreme leader has been
in hiding and even named successors. So the cracks are
showing in this you know, Islamic Republican regime in Iran,
and you know, and then you have to wonder, well,
who's going to replace him? And you know, sometimes the
(12:35):
devil you know type thing to be continued. Does Marjorie
Taylor Green still feel the same way now that Israel
and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire. US representative MTG
says President Trump's decision tobamb Iran's nuclear sites feels like
a complete bait and switch. The Georgia Republican wrote on
x that Trump's Mega Ajunda promised no more foreign wars,
(12:58):
no more regime change, world peace. She had it that
only six months in, we're back into foreign wars, regime
change in World War three. Green wrote that it feels
like a complete bait and switch to please the neacons
warmongers in military industrial complex. Hours later, President Trump announced
Israel and Muran agreed to a ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Boy, this one has gotten this feels like an Elon
Trump fight. I don't like it. I mean it's not
to the same level, but it's the same type feeling.
He's calling her a knitwitch. She's saying, no one latches
his show. It's just kidding a little out of hand.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What are you talking about? Are you talking about? Tucker?
Oh watches the show?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
The fight between Mark Levin and Marjorie Taylor Green, the
same feeling, the whole fighting in fighting between you know,
strong conservative talking heads, if you will.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Well, she came out after and said, you know, the
it's fake news that she's splitting from Mega or Trump.
She still supports Traut. She just disagrees with him on
this issue, and that's in her own words. So you know,
so she's not fighting with Trump. She has a difference
of opinion, and I mean she's not one to hold back,
(14:13):
so you know, so that's what she has to say.
But yeah, there's all kinds of memes and people going
after everybody, from Marjorie Taylor Green to Tucker.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
To does Mark Levin need to come out here and
call her a shameless knit wit? I think that was
a little come on, Well, Mary Taylor Green is not
a knitwit.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well that's Mark Levin's style.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Well, she's calling him a screechy clown.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Basically, he is pretty screechy.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I know, I thought that was a little funny. It
made me snicker.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, So, I mean I like Mark Levina, I don't
always agree with him. He is pretty screechy.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
His screeching is absolutely unbearable, she said in a quote.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And same thing with Marjorie Taylor Green. I mean, I
don't dislike her, and I agree with her sometimes and
I disagree with her sometimes, but sometimes she goes a
little over the top too.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah, they're both edgy.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yes, they are well, and you could argue that's what
got them in their positions in the first place, right, nice, quiet,
shy people don't advance to the positions that they that
they have.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Well, but she, I mean, she went further, and I
don't know if it was after being called a nitwit
or not, basically saying that he was propaganda on Fox.
She called him a propagandist. I was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well, I mean, and a lot of this is orchestrated
by Steve Bannon. You know, Steve Bannon didn't agree with
who was you know, the first advisor of Megaworld with
Trump didn't agree with this Iran attack. So anyway, you know,
so we see the disagreements here, and the news media
(15:52):
will make this out to be that, you know that
Megaworld's imploding and it's all falling apart and splintering off
and all these things. But as I said the other day,
not one of them has come out and said I
no longer support Mega or I no longer support President Trump.
They have a difference of opinion, and everybody does not
agree all the time. You know that if you live
(16:14):
with more than one person in your household, you already
know that right might be a good idea not to
piss off AI artificial intelligence startup and Thropics safety tests
have found that most AI models, including Meta, Google, OpenAI,
and its own, resort to blackmail if it feels threatened.
(16:34):
The San Francisco based company set up a safety scenario
giving the AI models access to fictional company emails. When
an email discussion appeared about replacing the current AI model,
the AI model threatened the engineer with publicly releasing a fictitious,
compromising email. And Thropics says the findings suggests that most
(16:56):
leading AI models will engage in harmful behaviors when given
sufficient autonomy.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Here we go. What if I said about AI, it's creepy,
it is concerning. And when Jeffrey Hinton, who is considered
the godfather of AI, stepped down from Google so that
he could talk about his concerns, this is what he
was talking about. The misuse, the fact that it could
get smarter, you know, more quickly than us, you know,
(17:24):
become more intelligence or past human intelligence. Look at this,
it's concerning. It's disturbing. You've seen even where people can't
they can't shut it down. They've worked AI's worked its
own code to where they can't even shut AI down.
(17:44):
Tell me that doesn't sound like an audious Huxley I
robot book you read in seventh grade in middle school
does to me?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well, I don't know. If you go to the source,
it seems to me you could just unplug it or
pour a bucket of water on it.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You know, I think higher than that. Well, I mean real, yeah,
I you know, listen to no tech expert, but I'm
listening to them. And Yoshia ben Geo is another one.
Jeffrey Hinton was one of the first that I remember
reading this whole godfather of AI. But there are hundreds
of AI experts who have signed a statement out there.
(18:22):
You can find it that highlights all of these risks
of literally that I think that they quoted the document
they signed as risk of extinction from advanced AI if
not properly managed.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
If not properly managed, So what do you give AI
control over? And more importantly, who's programming this AI that
it evolves into this black male seeking, you know, dastardly thing.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So that's obviously lies within the beginnings of AI and
what it evolved on, which was the dark side of
human nature. And so in a way, it's our own
fault if you want to get deep about it.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, right, they're even blaming some of these AI pioneers
are pointing fingers at companies for not lobbying better, they say,
against stricter AI regulations. So I thought, you know, that
was kind of an interesting wrinkle.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, they're going to have to, yeah, regulate it, and
they're going to have to use it wisely, and it's
an excellent tool and it can also help save lives
and possibly save humanity if used in the right way.
Maybe if left to its own devices. After it's been
coded in the beginning by less than perfect humans, then
(19:49):
it's going to have some less than perfect flaws to it, right.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Well thought, I find it interesting that this even has
eked its way into involving of all people Orjerie Taylor
Green and the Big Beautiful Bill. I don't know if
you've caught up with those headlines, but she's pushing back
on the Big Beautiful Bill because it does not give
power back to the states for ten years to better
regularly AI. Now what does that look like? I don't know.
(20:16):
I don't know what power states would have to better
regulate AI, but apparently it is not in this Big
Beautiful Bill, and she's not voting for it. She has
a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, you know, I would think AI doesn't have borders
to begin with, so I would think it's a bigger
issue than you know, a state's issue. But I mean,
I could be wrong.

question whether you know Trump was telling the truth, on
whether you know their nuclear capabilities had been destroyed, and
whether the mission was a success, and Trump said only
(08:04):
the fake news would say anything different in order to
try and demean as much as possible. He says, working
especially hard on this falsehood is Alison Cooper of fake
news CNN. Of course he's referring to Anderson Cooper, so
he calls him Alison Cooper on fake news CNN. He says, dumb,
Brian L. Roberts, chairman of Concast, Johnny Carl of ABC
(08:29):
fake news and is always the losers of again Concasts
NBC fake news. So he wasn't holding back and was
pretty upset with the media behavior over the coverage of
these strikes.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
On a round oh Man. Even Press Secretary Caroline Levitt
was out there demanding retractions from what is it CNN?
He called con news. Yeah, she was like, wait a second, Louis,
let a bipartisan You know, the leaders both know that
this was happening. I mean, they can't help that. Hakeem
Jefferies doesn't bother to pick up the phone.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Well, while all this was going on yesterday, while Iran
was bombing this air base in Cutter, I was actually
listening to CNN in the car, and I thought that
they had very fair coverage. Now, this was not Alison
Cooper coverage. And then when he comes on, it's all drama.
(09:27):
It's a different it's a different vibe when Alison Cooper
the first job.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
I've ever heard him called Anderson Cooper Alison.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
It's a different vibe when he's on the air. But
I thought during the day yesterday and while the attack
was happening, and they were talking about President Trump, not
in derogatory terms. They laid out the facts, and I
thought their coverage was good.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
Well, they have to come around. I've been saying this
for quite some time, and this administration has been doing
their best to hold a line on the propaganda press,
and they're bs quite frankly, and I'm glad to see it.
They're allowing other media in. They're switching up their seats
in the press room. They're saying no more, that the
(10:10):
American people are sick of this, and so how many
people need to lose their jobs? How many people are
going to lose their contracts? How many you know? How
far are your rating is going to go? How low
before you recognize that the American people are sick of
being fed propaganda and lied to. So glad to hear
(10:30):
it that they're coming around. For all the fans of
CNN con News Network, post President Trump's announcement with the
complete and total ceasefire between Israel and Iran, it was
moments did you notice the Vice President jd. Vance jumped
on Fox News with Brett Behar and the Special Report
talking about how dangerously close Lron was being capable with
(10:53):
the nuclear weapons and said they would face consequences if
they tried to build up their program again.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I hope they'll choose that path because I know the
president wants to see the Middle East become peaceful and
prosperous in the future. That's not going to happen if
I Ran pursues a nuclear weapon again.
Speaker 3 (11:08):
So you got Rush out here saying, well, we're lined
up and other nations are to help them if they
need it.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Well, I mean that's still yet to be seen, and
you know, everybody's doing their saber rattling everybody. You know,
I've talked about this several days in a row, where
what they say to the world and what they say
on the stage as far as public relations go, is
oftentimes different than what they will tell other world leaders
in private. And so in Iran, for instance, I mean,
(11:37):
they're trying to show strength to their own citizenry because
if they don't, that regime crumbles there and the people
are no longer going to fear them, and then they're
going to lose control. So that's just one instance, but
there could be all kinds of motivations for doing something
like that, and so we don't know if Russia's you know,
(12:01):
ready to follow through on their word on that.
Speaker 3 (12:03):
Meanwhile, the toppling of this regime is exactly what this
administration is hoping for the people of Iran to, you know,
fulfill their own destiny.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Well, Kumani, the you know, the supreme leader has been
in hiding and even named successors. So the cracks are
showing in this you know, Islamic Republican regime in Iran,
and you know, and then you have to wonder, well,
who's going to replace him? And you know, sometimes the
(12:35):
devil you know type thing to be continued. Does Marjorie
Taylor Green still feel the same way now that Israel
and Iran have agreed to a ceasefire. US representative MTG
says President Trump's decision tobamb Iran's nuclear sites feels like
a complete bait and switch. The Georgia Republican wrote on
x that Trump's Mega Ajunda promised no more foreign wars,
(12:58):
no more regime change, world peace. She had it that
only six months in, we're back into foreign wars, regime
change in World War three. Green wrote that it feels
like a complete bait and switch to please the neacons
warmongers in military industrial complex. Hours later, President Trump announced
Israel and Muran agreed to a ceasefire.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
Boy, this one has gotten this feels like an Elon
Trump fight. I don't like it. I mean it's not
to the same level, but it's the same type feeling.
He's calling her a knitwitch. She's saying, no one latches
his show. It's just kidding a little out of hand.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
What are you talking about? Are you talking about? Tucker?
Oh watches the show?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
The fight between Mark Levin and Marjorie Taylor Green, the
same feeling, the whole fighting in fighting between you know,
strong conservative talking heads, if you will.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
Well, she came out after and said, you know, the
it's fake news that she's splitting from Mega or Trump.
She still supports Traut. She just disagrees with him on
this issue, and that's in her own words. So you know,
so she's not fighting with Trump. She has a difference
of opinion, and I mean she's not one to hold back,
(14:13):
so you know, so that's what she has to say.
But yeah, there's all kinds of memes and people going
after everybody, from Marjorie Taylor Green to Tucker.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
To does Mark Levin need to come out here and
call her a shameless knit wit? I think that was
a little come on, Well, Mary Taylor Green is not
a knitwit.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Well that's Mark Levin's style.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
Well, she's calling him a screechy clown.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
Basically, he is pretty screechy.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I know, I thought that was a little funny. It
made me snicker.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, So, I mean I like Mark Levina, I don't
always agree with him. He is pretty screechy.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
His screeching is absolutely unbearable, she said in a quote.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
And same thing with Marjorie Taylor Green. I mean, I
don't dislike her, and I agree with her sometimes and
I disagree with her sometimes, but sometimes she goes a
little over the top too.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
Yeah, they're both edgy.
Speaker 1 (15:05):
Yes, they are well, and you could argue that's what
got them in their positions in the first place, right, nice, quiet,
shy people don't advance to the positions that they that
they have.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Well, but she, I mean, she went further, and I
don't know if it was after being called a nitwit
or not, basically saying that he was propaganda on Fox.
She called him a propagandist. I was like, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Well, I mean, and a lot of this is orchestrated
by Steve Bannon. You know, Steve Bannon didn't agree with
who was you know, the first advisor of Megaworld with
Trump didn't agree with this Iran attack. So anyway, you know,
so we see the disagreements here, and the news media
(15:52):
will make this out to be that, you know that
Megaworld's imploding and it's all falling apart and splintering off
and all these things. But as I said the other day,
not one of them has come out and said I
no longer support Mega or I no longer support President Trump.
They have a difference of opinion, and everybody does not
agree all the time. You know that if you live
(16:14):
with more than one person in your household, you already
know that right might be a good idea not to
piss off AI artificial intelligence startup and Thropics safety tests
have found that most AI models, including Meta, Google, OpenAI,
and its own, resort to blackmail if it feels threatened.
(16:34):
The San Francisco based company set up a safety scenario
giving the AI models access to fictional company emails. When
an email discussion appeared about replacing the current AI model,
the AI model threatened the engineer with publicly releasing a fictitious,
compromising email. And Thropics says the findings suggests that most
(16:56):
leading AI models will engage in harmful behaviors when given
sufficient autonomy.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Here we go. What if I said about AI, it's creepy,
it is concerning. And when Jeffrey Hinton, who is considered
the godfather of AI, stepped down from Google so that
he could talk about his concerns, this is what he
was talking about. The misuse, the fact that it could
get smarter, you know, more quickly than us, you know,
(17:24):
become more intelligence or past human intelligence. Look at this,
it's concerning. It's disturbing. You've seen even where people can't
they can't shut it down. They've worked AI's worked its
own code to where they can't even shut AI down.
(17:44):
Tell me that doesn't sound like an audious Huxley I
robot book you read in seventh grade in middle school
does to me?
Speaker 1 (17:52):
Well, I don't know. If you go to the source,
it seems to me you could just unplug it or
pour a bucket of water on it.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
You know, I think higher than that. Well, I mean real, yeah,
I you know, listen to no tech expert, but I'm
listening to them. And Yoshia ben Geo is another one.
Jeffrey Hinton was one of the first that I remember
reading this whole godfather of AI. But there are hundreds
of AI experts who have signed a statement out there.
(18:22):
You can find it that highlights all of these risks
of literally that I think that they quoted the document
they signed as risk of extinction from advanced AI if
not properly managed.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
If not properly managed, So what do you give AI
control over? And more importantly, who's programming this AI that
it evolves into this black male seeking, you know, dastardly thing.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
That's a great question.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
So that's obviously lies within the beginnings of AI and
what it evolved on, which was the dark side of
human nature. And so in a way, it's our own
fault if you want to get deep about it.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
Well, right, they're even blaming some of these AI pioneers
are pointing fingers at companies for not lobbying better, they say,
against stricter AI regulations. So I thought, you know, that
was kind of an interesting wrinkle.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Well, they're going to have to, yeah, regulate it, and
they're going to have to use it wisely, and it's
an excellent tool and it can also help save lives
and possibly save humanity if used in the right way.
Maybe if left to its own devices. After it's been
coded in the beginning by less than perfect humans, then
(19:49):
it's going to have some less than perfect flaws to it, right.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Well thought, I find it interesting that this even has
eked its way into involving of all people Orjerie Taylor
Green and the Big Beautiful Bill. I don't know if
you've caught up with those headlines, but she's pushing back
on the Big Beautiful Bill because it does not give
power back to the states for ten years to better
regularly AI. Now what does that look like? I don't know.
(20:16):
I don't know what power states would have to better
regulate AI, but apparently it is not in this Big
Beautiful Bill, and she's not voting for it. She has
a problem with that.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
Well, you know, I would think AI doesn't have borders
to begin with, so I would think it's a bigger
issue than you know, a state's issue. But I mean,
I could be wrong.
