Speaker 1 (00:01):
Live from Higher Top Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids.
We're talking about what matters most to you. When West
Michigan joined the Conversation Now at six one six seven seven.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Four, twenty four twenty four.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
At six one six seven seven four twenty four twenty four,
it's West Michigan Live with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Welcome, But man, oh man, what to day. The rain
is falling and so are the temperatures. And I don't
know if you're like me, but I kind of like
that for fall. I'm ready. I'm ready. Uh. We don't
have any real updates on the shutdown, although I will
(00:44):
try and clarify a few things that I think are important.
As we are what seven days in now and the
propaganda is flying both sides. I want to make sure
that you understand the process where we are, what's going on.
We'll get into all of it. Today an a Tech Tuesday,
our good friend Trey. Can it be just coming out?
Use weather and traffic is stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
We are talking about what matters most in West Michigan
and beyond. This is the Big three now say speak three.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, It's power by our good friends at heartland home
mortgage to have gataway and the team ready to help you.
Whether they want to buy, refy home, equity, line of credit,
they can help you with all those and they've helped us.
In fact, many who listen to this program save thousands
each and every time that we've done this, and you
never know, they may be able to help you too
with following rates. Right now, market's starting to react. Now's
(01:38):
the time reach out. At least do your homework and
find out how they can help you at AJHM lending
dot com. Number One, The stories that matter most. Yeah,
we'll be talking about these around the water cool the
Demi table, and probably no matter where else you are.
These are great stories. In fact, some of them are good,
(02:00):
some of them are horrific. But the shutdown continues. Number One,
we're in day seven. The Senate now voting five times
without advancing any funding legislation. Yesterday I think it was
fifty five forty five, So you understand Republicans have more
votes than Democrats, but not enough. They've already passed this
(02:21):
in the House. So when you hear well, the Republicans
say it's the Democrats fault's the Democrats say the Republican's fault.
It's just not it. The truth is is that Democrats
are holding up the votes getting to sixty. Republicans don't
have enough to get to sixty, and Democrats say Republicans
(02:43):
are trying to kill Gramma and everybody else with healthcare
and all that. But the truth is, what they're trying
to do is undo the one Big Beautiful bill. And
they want you and I to foot speaking of bills,
the money for illegal aliens in their house, health care
and obviously all of that undone in the One Big
(03:03):
Beautiful bill. So that's what's at stake here. I don't
see Republicans moving. Democrats may get something out of this
conversation healthcare wise, but in the meantime, what they're really
getting is donations. That's right. A lot of this is
political theater aimed at pulling in donations from the wacky
base of the Democrat park.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
That's No.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Two. That's mostly what we're watching. We'll see how it
all plays out. Today marks the second year after the
horrific attacks on October seventh, Yes, those deadly Hamas attacks
that took place back in twenty twenty three, sparking one
of the most intense and prolonged conflicts in the region's
(03:47):
modern history. Over twelve hundred is Arely's killed, hundreds taken hostage,
and a surprise assault that broke through the Gaza border.
The aftermath reshaping global geopolitics, escalating tensions across the mitt least,
and setting off a chain of military and diplomatic responses
that are still unfolding the day. In fact, peace talks
(04:09):
or underway. Hamas and Israel not face to face, but
they are having conversations and that is a good thing.
But nothing concrete just yet. I'ms at least saying that
they are a ring. They would they would consider releasing
those hostages and talking about what happens next. Number three
(04:30):
is our biggest story of the day, and one I
doubt you'll hear much, John, if you tune in to
Good Morning America or lesser Dold or even the nightly news,
any of that. But it's it's official. Biden and his
FBI caught busted spying on eight GOP senators. The damning
(04:52):
new document claims arguably worse than Watergate. Newly surfaced document
claiming the f under the Biden administration monitored eight Republican
US senators describing the surveillance as arguably worse than Watergate.
The allegation sparking outrage from obviously GOP leaders demanding investigations,
(05:14):
not a peep from Democrats because obviously people get killed.
They don't even make noise anymore. The Justice Department has
declined to confirm or deny the pending allegations, although uh
that may not be officially true. I did see cash
Pattel in the FBI bringing this to light in a
(05:35):
tweet or a postover on x Grassley report in the Senate.
More on that, folks. Will continue to update as we
have latest headlines coming out. I've got more I want
to get to as well. But clips from the headlines
(05:56):
being made yesterday and attack talk set that you will
not want to miss. It was China. We've figured it out, folks.
It was China. China. Remember that big disruption when the
UN was in town and they thought, what in the
world is going on with all the cell phone sim
farm network stuff. They were trying to threaten the critical
(06:18):
infrastructure here in America. We found out who was behind it, China. Yeah,
details on that plus AI news that's funny and scary
at the same time, and I don't know how. I
don't know how you make sense of some of this stuff.
Sora Too is the latest from Open Ai and it
(06:40):
is making videos now that you you may not be
able to tell are not real. Some of them are
so funny. Obviously you could say, Okay, that's not real,
but they look so good. And Elon Musk even coming
to the table saying Roc will make movies in the
(07:00):
next year or so, and good ones. So I've got
all of that and more coming out in our tech
Talk segment. But just a preview, if you'd indulge me,
just for a moment. This is the moment I knew
we were cooked. As the kids say today, it's a
video of Ronald Reagan doing a wrestling promo against JFK.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Well, now, if that isn't something folks, Jack Kennedy wants
to step into my ring at my WrestleMania and he
thinks he's just going to walk out wearing my heavyweight title. Well,
don't I got something for you to hear, mister Kennedy.
So listen up. I've stared down tougher, meaner opponents, and
while I keep lacing these boots, the Reagan smash is
(07:45):
going to keep laying them out. You know what, Kennedy,
You're always talking about courage, about conviction. But when that
bell rings at WrestleMania, all those fancy speeches of yours
won't save you, not from the Reagan smash, because once
that spotlight hits and that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't know whether the laugh or cry. Folks, I
don't know whether the laugh or cry. It's that good
of you. See the video producer Adam in the booth
is like shake out.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It starts chanting my name, Reagan. You're going to realize
something real quick, Kennedy. You're not in Camelot anymore. Kid, ooh,
You're in Reagan's world now, son. Wow, So lace up
your boots, Jack, because at WrestleMania, I'm not fighting for
the title. I'm defending it. And the second you look
me in the eye, I'm delivering the gipper's glory and
(08:30):
you'll hit that canvas like a crash test dummy in
a dodge. Once that ref raises my hand, you can
go back to Brookline and give another speech about how
you almost made history.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Wow. That is I don't know about you, but that
is equally hilarious. And horrifying all at the same time.
To me, it is equally hilarious and horrifying all at
the same time, because it looks real, and we may
be at a point and by the way, this, this
takes us down. This is some of this is tech talk,
(09:05):
but some of this is philosophy. And I I really
think we may be there. I know we're swiftly approaching,
but we may be at the time where you just
don't know what's real and what is it. How how
do you tell the difference in a world where we're
already kind of being pulled back and forth by the
(09:25):
nose right propaganda and everything else that's you're constantly being
fed to us. We we we we're already kind of
at a point where we don't we we we don't know.
(09:45):
You tell me, how do you how do you figure
that out? How do you figure out what's real and
what isn't real? Yeah, it's it's it's darn near impossible.
(10:06):
So I don't know what to tell you. But at
the end of the day, this this, this is the
world that we're in right now, and it's going to
get I think it's going to get even more dicey
it's going to get even I think more interesting as
(10:26):
you had into election time twenty six, twenty eight and beyond.
Just something to keep your mind out. We're going to
talk about that and what the implications are techwise as well,
coming up today in the program. But this one also
sort of ties in that document that claims the FBI
(10:48):
under the Biden administration monitored this is telephone conversation, cell phone, etc.
From Republicans at the time in the Senate. There are
a few key Republicans Grassley was able to find out
being reported. Obviously, this is this is still new information
(11:11):
still coming out, but this thing is bigger, it's batter,
It's worse than ever Watergate ever was. Because he's sitting congressman.
The FBI secretly obtaining phone records of nine Republican members
of Congress, including eight sitting senators, under the Biden administration,
part of something that called Arctic Frost the investigation of
(11:35):
the twenty twenty election meddling. A bombshell document reveals specific
reasons for the FBI's espionage of the sitting lawmakers not clear.
The document revealing the spy effort was recently turned over
to lawmakers and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley releasing
it to the public yesterday. Quote based on the evidence
(11:57):
to date, he said, Arctic frost really a weaponization by
federal law enforcement under Biden, was arguably worse than Watergate.
What I've uncovered today is disturbing, an outrageous political conduct
by the Biden FBI. By the way, don't forget Biden's
(12:17):
director of the FBI right now is under indictment. You
yet to turn himself into be it rained. But at
the same time this is well, that was call me right,
but at the time overseeing this was ray unconstitutional breach
(12:38):
and Attorney General Pam Bondi a director Cash Petel need
to hold accountable those involved in the serious wrongdoings. Now
Cash has spoken out on this. Take what he said
caught up here in just a little bit and get
into more of the conversations that you just well here
anywhere else? And nah, should I even ask? Should I
(12:58):
even ask? Is it fair to ask any more?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Why?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I wonder? I wonder why all on the way? Don't
go anywhere, folks, We got a show load for you.
In the meantime, if you're able, please join us. We
ask you in your rise for the national anthem We're
(14:34):
the Truth.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
He's in Negotiabate's Western Michigan Live with Justin Barclay on
news Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine afs.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Tuesday, October seventh.
I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner dot news original story
here in Michigan. Half of the children living in Detroit
living in poverty. New census data shows the rate at
more than thirty four percent, the highest in the u
United States. Detroit now the poorest city with more than
(15:03):
five hundred thousand residents. Governor Whitmer declares October Transgender Empowerment Month,
this move challenging President Trump's executive orders. It is October seventh,
two years since Hamas terrorists murdering and kidnapping people in Israel.
President Trump and his administration working extremely hard to get
(15:24):
a deal done to free the remaining hostages. For these
stories and more, visit the Midwesterner at the Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Story after story, the ones that you'll barely scratch the
surface on anywhere else. A couple of interesting ones. Yesterday
I saw all the sure about country star Zach Brian.
Is that his name taking a swipe at Ice in
his new song Zach Bryan, Who's got a couple of
(15:57):
songs out there, And I kind of like, I mean, look,
I like all kinds of people. I really politics is
one thing, but the side of taking sides, you know,
when it comes to Ice, uh I, Although you'll probably
find out it's not gonna be a very popular thing
to do. He's got a new song out there, apparently
(16:18):
getting some backlash for this. I don't think is he
the guy that played that just plays Zack Brian, just
play the big House? Is he the one that just
played the Big House? So it's the biggest got the
biggest concert on record. Notice, I'm just gonna throw this out.
Notice he waited until after that concert was done to
(16:39):
release the song. Shows you the guy doesn't really about
speaking his opinion speaking as mine, especially when money was
on the line. He one and got a risk that
was he just some of these people that think they're
so ethical and they're so oh, they're so morally superior
to everyone else. Because there's a liberal and I hate
(17:03):
to say this, but this happens to people of the
faith too. There's a lot of people that have a
really different picture of Jesus, and they they want to
run around tell you how wrong that you are. And
they have a certain Jesus that they have in mind
that they worship, and that's a very political Jesus. It's
(17:24):
someone that you know, you throw in your face. They
forget that Jesus who turned over tables and fashioned whips
and all these other things. Jesus is truth and grace.
He gives you both at the same time. And look,
you got to have the truth, too much grace, and
you get what some of these churches fly in different
(17:44):
flags they ought not fly, and all these other things.
You leave that, you leave that truth out. You get that,
you get that well, all that grace and too much
truth is bad too, because then you beat people over
the head with things that they'll never respond to. So meanwhile,
Zach Brian making a song apparently a big, big splash
about his new song about Ice. Ice is out there
(18:07):
actually saving lives. How can I prove that? Well, the
latest story, Ice has grabbed nearly one hundred illegal alien
big rig runners. These truckers who are driving down the
road who should never have been here. Now this comes
amid some of the most deadly and dangerous accidents we've
(18:27):
seen in recent times that were at the hands of
folks that had them both ten and two, or on
their phone, or who knows what well they're driving down
the road in their truck. So this is a very
big story and one that I think you put those
two together paints a clearer picture for what is going on.
We got tech Talk coming up in just norments about
(18:48):
nine thirty five TRN Canby. We'll be back with this
with some of the most spooky AI tis the season,
the latest developments you will not want to miss. But
first want to thank the folks at the good feats
to I've been telling you about it, and of course
this is the season where I got to get dressed up.
In fact, they'll be in Macosta County at the Micosta
County GOP this weekend for their big Lincoln Day dinner
(19:10):
as an MC and then I've got one for Barry
Alligan and Ionia coming up at the end of the month.
They're doing like a big masquarine. So I gotta get
dressed up. I gotta wear the nice clothes and dress shoes.
A part of it. Well, you know my feet used
to hate that, Not anymore, not since the Good Feet Store,
because the personalized art supports that keep me feeling good
(19:32):
and on my feet moving no matter where I go.
They fit in every single shoe, your tennis shoes, your
even your flip flops and sandals and everything else. And yes,
those dress shoes. Reach out to them today, matter of fact.
Better yet, walk in twenty eighth Street right in front
of Costco and Portage on Westage in front of Colts
(19:52):
and see if they could do what they've done for me,
keep me on my feet and feeling good at the
Good Feed Store. Experience that feeling today. Hey, he's running
as an independent. The Midwesterner has a great story on
Mike Duggan and Duggin's Detroit Half of kids live in
poverty overall rate of thirty four point five percent, highest
(20:15):
in the US. That a success that he claims to
be may not be as shiny and real as he says.
It is. Interesting story up at the Midwestern or The
Midwesterner dot news today. We'll make sure we keep you
(20:36):
up to date on that and more on the way.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But first tack into the latest in tech and how
it affects you and your world. This is tech Talk
Tuesday on Wood Radios, West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
All our good friend Trick, can I be joining us
in here today and every Tuesday for our conversations on technology.
And there's some big ones today. In fact, I want
to start with the biggest news we had. The story
Trent said last week is it I kind of remember
doing this and I remember thinking to myself, this is
a massive actor. I also thought at the time that
(21:09):
this was probably the scenario. But something happened while they
had diplomats from all over the world at the UN,
a massive attack on cellular communications and we found out
who's behind it all. Jina, Trent, this is the latest story. Welcome,
then we appreciate it. Break it down the blaze with
(21:30):
this story and again the you know what exactly happened
last week and what they discovered?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Yeah, Essa, we talked about this brief for last week.
It was fresh news. We didn't have all the information
yet around that big UN meeting, but what the what?
The Secret Service had more informations come out and basically
the Secret Service uncovered a massive SIM farm. What a
SIM farm is is its physical devices that hold SIM
(21:59):
cards one hundred thousand SIM cards on racks of little
receptacle computer devices that you plug them into on shelves
so it doesn't take a lot of space because SIM
cards are pretty small, spread out in three different locations
and the direct vicinity of the UN meeting, and these
(22:19):
things can do a lot of scary things justin they
can overwhelm cell phone towers, they can hack the communication
of text messages and phone calls. They can be used
to hack two fact authentication. We don't know exactly what
these were used for. They're not releasing it even if
they know, they're obviously to tell us. But certainly the
(22:41):
big news here is they are saying definitively this was
set up in secret. Obviously they tried to hide it China.
Is what they're reporting is the people that set this
up and this was used for a nefarious reason reasons
by China, mainly surveillance hacking. Close proximity of the UN
is very interesting that maybe they were trying to intercept
(23:02):
communications or do some kind of a mass shutdown of
communications to scare I don't know, justin. I mean, it's
just the capability of these things is very powerful. Yeah,
and to have those in that close proximity could have
done major disruptions to sell communications or just straight up
surveillance of their text messages and their phone calls.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, what's what they're able to do with this kind
of thing. The intercept get in between one signal and
the other, and they can clone a SIM card and
you know, you have to fight this. That's why you
have two factor authentication all that other. But all these
heads of state in one place and to be able
to get in and somehow maybe get into their communications,
(23:43):
if they already haven't been able to, that would be
that would pose a big threat and clearly some malfeasans.
China doesn't get the credit for all the spying and
all the shenanigans that they're a part of. They really
ought we ought to be talking more about them. That's
why I would Folks heard that they were going to
put this battery plant up in the Macosta County Green
Charter Championship. They were not happy about it, China one
(24:07):
of the reasons. Nevertheless, so and it is a story again,
it's just sort of popped up last week and then
just sort of disappeared like into the mist.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
That's the interesting part. Of these things, Justica. I remember
this SIMP farm is just one that they discovered, and
the Secret Service discovered it, which is typically not discovering
massive cybersecurity things. Because the story gets wilder. The Secret Service,
one of the top people in the Secret Service had
a swatting attempt at him personally wow, and they dug
(24:38):
into it and backtracked this. You remember these sim card
type farms their SIM cards and sell your equipment put
into power inverters that are used on solar panels. You
remember we had a story about that a couple of
weeks ago. These devices are all over the place, and
like you said, they just kind of people hear about
and we just kind of like, oh, whatever, this is
(25:00):
a big deal. This is uh. Some people are saying
this is an active war. It's it's massive, it's widespread,
it's far more than we realize. This is the new
digital threat age that we live in.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Well, I would agree it is an active war, not
the old traditional way of thinking when it comes to war.
But this is the new cyber r this is the
new uh nearly the new battlefield is right there cyber security.
That's why we have Space Force and some of these
others that are that are taking this stuff, and I
hope it seems certainly seems like anyway more and more
(25:36):
seriously than ever before. One of the things we ought
to take seriously, even though it's pretty funny. I played
part of this clip earlier. I won't play the whole
thing now, but I I watched this and I was
blown away on my phone. It's a video that appears
to be President Reagan, it's not. It's AI and he
(25:58):
is cutting what's called a red promo. So he's given
one of those speeches about how he wants to fight
JFK another president and how it's going to go down,
and it's scary good.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
If that isn't something, folks, Jack Kennedy wants to step
into my ring at my WrestleMania and he thinks he's
just going to walk out wearing my heavyweight title. Well,
don't I got something for you to hear, mister Kennedy.
So listen up. I've stared down tougher, meaner opponents, and
while I keep lacing these boots, the Reagan smash is
(26:30):
going to keep laying them out.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I I watched this and I immediately know, folks, now
this is clearly obvious it's not real. But that's only
because of the context. You got something that's absurd. They're
showing you that there's just no way this was ever real, right,
(26:54):
and then on top of it, you've got a bouncing
little watermark that says Sora on it. Soa happens to
be the AI app, the platform from open Ai, the
folks that brought you chat GPT that are making this possible.
Soura two is the name of the app that does this.
(27:14):
But if it weren't for those things, and it were
a serious conversation about something that was maybe historic in nature,
what would your takeaway be. I don't know that you'd
be able to tell that this was fake, Trent. This
is troubling, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Justin it is because people are already used to low quality,
average phone shots that are not real polished, that are
not real high resolution, that are uploaded to social media
platform in the form of shorts, where you have no
context of who the person that made the video, what
the account is. You're not even watching the video for
more than three five ten seconds at the most, never
(27:53):
mind looking at who created the content, or what their
feedback is or long they've been on social media to
vet that people are mindless scrolling through our videos. I
see people everywhere doing it. It's a crazy addiction, and
they have no way of determining the average Joe. Most people,
without putting any thought into have no way of determining
what's real and fake, whether it be a political campaign
(28:14):
to smear to promote somebody, whether it be a natural
disaster event. It's the ultimate fake propaganda tool for any cause,
any movement. Anybody could now post out and blast out.
And you remember, justin it's not just us as people
using these things. You remember the social media, the Internet
(28:35):
has far, far, far more ten x bots and false
people posting and doing stuff that have all access to
these same tools as we do. And that's something we
didn't talk about about. The sim farm, massive use of
those sim farms.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Are you hearing the audio here, I'll make sure that
you don't if you are, But anyway, this is audio
right here or video trin that we're playing in the
background that appears to be again Sora created, but it's
athletes competing against animals, and it's it's it's clearly not real.
There's a gorilla playing baseball and then running the bases.
(29:17):
There's a cheetah I guess that is running against the
guy on the track. I mean, it's incredible all of
these videos, and again they're pretty realistic looking. There's an
alligator swimming against a guy in a pool. A bear
arm that's probably the best one. The bare arm wrestling
the guy.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Yeah, he's gonna lose, just.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
But that.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
We on one hand, we laugh we look at these
and on the other hand, again, I think we're there.
If we're not, if we're you know, if we're not
there yet, we're very close. I think we're there though
where you They're so good you almost can't tell. The
only reason we can tell right now is the context
and how Luda Chris are absurd. Some of these videos are.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Justin it's it's it's already beyond. I think for ninety
percent of people who are just mindlessly scrolling through stuff
on their phone, vast majority of them are going to
be completely faked out by these things. And it's not
just people, like I said, it's bots. Yes, it's other
people putting stuff on their bots, other countries' influencers, you know,
(30:25):
even I don't know. It just opens up such a
massive world of possibility for us to be all just
trolled out.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I know this is radio, so you're not going to
have a chance. But those that are watching the behind
the scenes livestream and then if if you want to
later on everything we talk about, we put on the
stack at justin Barkley dot com. It'll be a little
bit after we finished the show today, but go to
justin Barkley dot com you'll be able to see the stack.
And this is a video. I just saw somebody post
(30:53):
that influencer influencers are cooked. They said, this is a video,
okay of someone who's not real. What I eat in
the day, no processed sugar, the woman writes on the screen,
and then you see the video. This is this is
her and she's going through herbal no sweeteners.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Needed a coconut latte with cinnamon on top. Mid morning,
I snacked on a super fresh fruit ball straight from
the market.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Lunch was a tempe nurse plate with brown rice and
loads of veggies. Around three, I grabbed these coconut energy
balls with peanut.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Here's what it is.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
None of that's real. None of that's real. And to
your point, this is the kind of thing that people
are watching a lot of right now. These short videos
of people are about here's how I spent my day
and here's how I did that. But this is mindless content.
Wait until it's something and they'll be able to I
(31:46):
think one of the reasons we're seeing this right now,
and they're showing it to us right now, is to
make us aware that this stuff is out there and
you all everyone, And as my mindless and absurd as
it is, I kind of have an interesting take on this.
(32:09):
It's chatchy GPT or AI is to open a eyes.
I think the reason why they're doing this is it's
so good. They want people to be warned that it's
not real. Here's Mario getting pulled over by a policeman
on the sun keep your hands on the wheel, almost
wiped out three cars back there. Put in park now,
Massouri offic said, I just don't move, let's just lock
open it right now.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You don't stop at weaving through traffic, idiot.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I mean, somebody made that on their phone trend.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
That's amazing. It's again justin I mean, how would you
ever know, scrolling through any videos what's real and fake?
At that point? Social I mean, these platforms are saying
they're going to put a disclaimer, they're going to mark
these as AI generated content. Well, if you can put
a watermark over it and create a whole video by AI,
you can use aid to remove that watermark. So I
(33:00):
don't think that's going to be a feel say for
any of this AI generated content.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Here is Tony Montana from Scarface giving a ted talk.
I'm not gonna play obviously not gonna play all this stuff.
But there there is SpongeBob getting pulled over driving down
the road. SpongeBob, the actual cartoon character getting pulled over
(33:24):
by the police. You can see the Sora watermark there.
But there's so many of these. If you just go
search Sora to over on actual see all of the
all the different things. Now they're not the only ones. Oh,
this might be my one of my favorite. It's Bob Ross.
Bob Ross, remember the painting guy Paint and King Kong ed.
(33:49):
He's like, well, I'm just gonna put a little bayonet
a man with the bayonet in there, and there's a
little splash of red, just you know, just for effect.
And I'm thinking to myself, this, I've never seen anything
like this before. But they've got these people and Trent,
it's it's nuts to watch this.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
The crazy thing, Justin is this is their two point
zero model, right, so this is very early release, very basic.
I mean it's not basic technology, but they have in
the hands of the consumers a very non perfected, non
polished problem that works amazingly well. So what can they
do in five years? Yeah, is just unbelievable. I don't know, Strongling.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Here is the warning. If you download sora to it
acts kind of like a number one. The warning is
that they can do it. But also if you download
so Too, it acts kind of like a social media app,
and then you upload your personality, your person your picture
or whatever. Then anybody can anybody can use and I'm
(34:51):
sure you know, people like me, maybe even you now, Trent.
You never know. We're out there. They could do that
with us. So I would say, you know now more
than never, even if it's me or anyone else saying things,
you really ought to do your due diligence and check
in on it. We got to run. But this is
the last one. Elon says, hold my Ai Groc is
(35:12):
going to be able to do full movie soon, says,
that's just a clip from a movie. Seeing that Rock
has put out some sort of an action clip there,
and he says, not only will we have this out
by the end of this looks like we'll be able
to make a movie that is at least watchable before
(35:34):
the end of next year. In really good movies in
twenty twenty seven, folks, be warned. You are now fully
aware and up to speed. I gotta post this stuff

in listing it. The news is next on Wood Radio.
Speaker 2 (39:59):
This is
Live from Higher Top Monroe Center in downtown Grand Rapids.
We're talking about what matters most to you. When West
Michigan joined the Conversation Now at six one six seven seven.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Four, twenty four twenty four.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
At six one six seven seven four twenty four twenty four,
it's West Michigan Live with Justin Barklay on Wood Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
Welcome, But man, oh man, what to day. The rain
is falling and so are the temperatures. And I don't
know if you're like me, but I kind of like
that for fall. I'm ready. I'm ready. Uh. We don't
have any real updates on the shutdown, although I will
(00:44):
try and clarify a few things that I think are important.
As we are what seven days in now and the
propaganda is flying both sides. I want to make sure
that you understand the process where we are, what's going on.
We'll get into all of it. Today an a Tech Tuesday,
our good friend Trey. Can it be just coming out?
Use weather and traffic is stories of the day.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
We are talking about what matters most in West Michigan

with following rates. Right now, market's starting to react. Now's
(01:38):
the time reach out. At least do your homework and
find out how they can help you at AJHM lending
dot com. Number One, The stories that matter most. Yeah,
we'll be talking about these around the water cool the
Demi table, and probably no matter where else you are.
These are great stories. In fact, some of them are good,
(02:00):
some of them are horrific. But the shutdown continues. Number One,
we're in day seven. The Senate now voting five times
without advancing any funding legislation. Yesterday I think it was
fifty five forty five, So you understand Republicans have more
votes than Democrats, but not enough. They've already passed this
(02:21):
in the House. So when you hear well, the Republicans
say it's the Democrats fault's the Democrats say the Republican's fault.
It's just not it. The truth is is that Democrats
are holding up the votes getting to sixty. Republicans don't
have enough to get to sixty, and Democrats say Republicans
(02:43):
are trying to kill Gramma and everybody else with healthcare
and all that. But the truth is, what they're trying
to do is undo the one Big Beautiful bill. And
they want you and I to foot speaking of bills,
the money for illegal aliens in their house, health care
and obviously all of that undone in the One Big
(03:03):
Beautiful bill. So that's what's at stake here. I don't
see Republicans moving. Democrats may get something out of this
conversation healthcare wise, but in the meantime, what they're really
getting is donations. That's right. A lot of this is
political theater aimed at pulling in donations from the wacky
base of the Democrat park.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
That's No.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Two. That's mostly what we're watching. We'll see how it
all plays out. Today marks the second year after the
horrific attacks on October seventh, Yes, those deadly Hamas attacks
that took place back in twenty twenty three, sparking one
of the most intense and prolonged conflicts in the region's
(03:47):
modern history. Over twelve hundred is Arely's killed, hundreds taken hostage,
and a surprise assault that broke through the Gaza border.
The aftermath reshaping global geopolitics, escalating tensions across the mitt least,
and setting off a chain of military and diplomatic responses
that are still unfolding the day. In fact, peace talks
(04:09):
or underway. Hamas and Israel not face to face, but
they are having conversations and that is a good thing.
But nothing concrete just yet. I'ms at least saying that
they are a ring. They would they would consider releasing
those hostages and talking about what happens next. Number three
(04:30):
is our biggest story of the day, and one I
doubt you'll hear much, John, if you tune in to
Good Morning America or lesser Dold or even the nightly news,
any of that. But it's it's official. Biden and his
FBI caught busted spying on eight GOP senators. The damning
(04:52):
new document claims arguably worse than Watergate. Newly surfaced document
claiming the f under the Biden administration monitored eight Republican
US senators describing the surveillance as arguably worse than Watergate.
The allegation sparking outrage from obviously GOP leaders demanding investigations,
(05:14):
not a peep from Democrats because obviously people get killed.
They don't even make noise anymore. The Justice Department has
declined to confirm or deny the pending allegations, although uh
that may not be officially true. I did see cash
Pattel in the FBI bringing this to light in a
(05:35):
tweet or a postover on x Grassley report in the Senate.
More on that, folks. Will continue to update as we
have latest headlines coming out. I've got more I want
to get to as well. But clips from the headlines
(05:56):
being made yesterday and attack talk set that you will
not want to miss. It was China. We've figured it out, folks.
It was China. China. Remember that big disruption when the
UN was in town and they thought, what in the
world is going on with all the cell phone sim
farm network stuff. They were trying to threaten the critical
(06:18):
infrastructure here in America. We found out who was behind it, China. Yeah,
details on that plus AI news that's funny and scary
at the same time, and I don't know how. I
don't know how you make sense of some of this stuff.
Sora Too is the latest from Open Ai and it
(06:40):
is making videos now that you you may not be
able to tell are not real. Some of them are
so funny. Obviously you could say, Okay, that's not real,
but they look so good. And Elon Musk even coming
to the table saying Roc will make movies in the
(07:00):
next year or so, and good ones. So I've got
all of that and more coming out in our tech
Talk segment. But just a preview, if you'd indulge me,
just for a moment. This is the moment I knew
we were cooked. As the kids say today, it's a
video of Ronald Reagan doing a wrestling promo against JFK.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
Well, now, if that isn't something folks, Jack Kennedy wants
to step into my ring at my WrestleMania and he
thinks he's just going to walk out wearing my heavyweight title. Well,
don't I got something for you to hear, mister Kennedy.
So listen up. I've stared down tougher, meaner opponents, and
while I keep lacing these boots, the Reagan smash is
(07:45):
going to keep laying them out. You know what, Kennedy,
You're always talking about courage, about conviction. But when that
bell rings at WrestleMania, all those fancy speeches of yours
won't save you, not from the Reagan smash, because once
that spotlight hits and that.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't know whether the laugh or cry. Folks, I
don't know whether the laugh or cry. It's that good
of you. See the video producer Adam in the booth
is like shake out.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
It starts chanting my name, Reagan. You're going to realize
something real quick, Kennedy. You're not in Camelot anymore. Kid, ooh,
You're in Reagan's world now, son. Wow, So lace up
your boots, Jack, because at WrestleMania, I'm not fighting for
the title. I'm defending it. And the second you look
me in the eye, I'm delivering the gipper's glory and
(08:30):
you'll hit that canvas like a crash test dummy in
a dodge. Once that ref raises my hand, you can
go back to Brookline and give another speech about how
you almost made history.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
Wow. That is I don't know about you, but that
is equally hilarious. And horrifying all at the same time.
To me, it is equally hilarious and horrifying all at
the same time, because it looks real, and we may
be at a point and by the way, this, this
takes us down. This is some of this is tech talk,
(09:05):
but some of this is philosophy. And I I really
think we may be there. I know we're swiftly approaching,
but we may be at the time where you just
don't know what's real and what is it. How how
do you tell the difference in a world where we're
already kind of being pulled back and forth by the
(09:25):
nose right propaganda and everything else that's you're constantly being
fed to us. We we we we're already kind of
at a point where we don't we we we don't know.
(09:45):
You tell me, how do you how do you figure
that out? How do you figure out what's real and
what isn't real? Yeah, it's it's it's darn near impossible.
(10:06):
So I don't know what to tell you. But at
the end of the day, this this, this is the
world that we're in right now, and it's going to
get I think it's going to get even more dicey
it's going to get even I think more interesting as
(10:26):
you had into election time twenty six, twenty eight and beyond.
Just something to keep your mind out. We're going to
talk about that and what the implications are techwise as well,
coming up today in the program. But this one also
sort of ties in that document that claims the FBI
(10:48):
under the Biden administration monitored this is telephone conversation, cell phone, etc.
From Republicans at the time in the Senate. There are
a few key Republicans Grassley was able to find out
being reported. Obviously, this is this is still new information
(11:11):
still coming out, but this thing is bigger, it's batter,
It's worse than ever Watergate ever was. Because he's sitting congressman.
The FBI secretly obtaining phone records of nine Republican members
of Congress, including eight sitting senators, under the Biden administration,
part of something that called Arctic Frost the investigation of
(11:35):
the twenty twenty election meddling. A bombshell document reveals specific
reasons for the FBI's espionage of the sitting lawmakers not clear.
The document revealing the spy effort was recently turned over
to lawmakers and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley releasing
it to the public yesterday. Quote based on the evidence
(11:57):
to date, he said, Arctic frost really a weaponization by
federal law enforcement under Biden, was arguably worse than Watergate.
What I've uncovered today is disturbing, an outrageous political conduct
by the Biden FBI. By the way, don't forget Biden's
(12:17):
director of the FBI right now is under indictment. You
yet to turn himself into be it rained. But at
the same time this is well, that was call me right,
but at the time overseeing this was ray unconstitutional breach
(12:38):
and Attorney General Pam Bondi a director Cash Petel need
to hold accountable those involved in the serious wrongdoings. Now
Cash has spoken out on this. Take what he said
caught up here in just a little bit and get
into more of the conversations that you just well here
anywhere else? And nah, should I even ask? Should I
(12:58):
even ask? Is it fair to ask any more?
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Why?
Speaker 2 (13:02):
I wonder? I wonder why all on the way? Don't
go anywhere, folks, We got a show load for you.
In the meantime, if you're able, please join us. We
ask you in your rise for the national anthem We're
(14:34):
the Truth.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
He's in Negotiabate's Western Michigan Live with Justin Barclay on
news Radio Wood thirteen hundred and one oh six nine afs.
Speaker 4 (14:42):
Here are your headlines from the Midwesterner this Tuesday, October seventh.
I'm Robin Hoffman. It's a Midwesterner dot news original story
here in Michigan. Half of the children living in Detroit
living in poverty. New census data shows the rate at
more than thirty four percent, the highest in the u
United States. Detroit now the poorest city with more than
(15:03):
five hundred thousand residents. Governor Whitmer declares October Transgender Empowerment Month,
this move challenging President Trump's executive orders. It is October seventh,
two years since Hamas terrorists murdering and kidnapping people in Israel.
President Trump and his administration working extremely hard to get
(15:24):
a deal done to free the remaining hostages. For these
stories and more, visit the Midwesterner at the Midwesterner dot news.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
Story after story, the ones that you'll barely scratch the
surface on anywhere else. A couple of interesting ones. Yesterday
I saw all the sure about country star Zach Brian.
Is that his name taking a swipe at Ice in
his new song Zach Bryan, Who's got a couple of
(15:57):
songs out there, And I kind of like, I mean, look,
I like all kinds of people. I really politics is
one thing, but the side of taking sides, you know,
when it comes to Ice, uh I, Although you'll probably
find out it's not gonna be a very popular thing
to do. He's got a new song out there, apparently
(16:18):
getting some backlash for this. I don't think is he
the guy that played that just plays Zack Brian, just
play the big House? Is he the one that just
played the Big House? So it's the biggest got the
biggest concert on record. Notice, I'm just gonna throw this out.
Notice he waited until after that concert was done to
(16:39):
release the song. Shows you the guy doesn't really about
speaking his opinion speaking as mine, especially when money was
on the line. He one and got a risk that
was he just some of these people that think they're
so ethical and they're so oh, they're so morally superior
to everyone else. Because there's a liberal and I hate
(17:03):
to say this, but this happens to people of the
faith too. There's a lot of people that have a
really different picture of Jesus, and they they want to
run around tell you how wrong that you are. And
they have a certain Jesus that they have in mind
that they worship, and that's a very political Jesus. It's
(17:24):
someone that you know, you throw in your face. They
forget that Jesus who turned over tables and fashioned whips
and all these other things. Jesus is truth and grace.
He gives you both at the same time. And look,
you got to have the truth, too much grace, and
you get what some of these churches fly in different
(17:44):
flags they ought not fly, and all these other things.
You leave that, you leave that truth out. You get that,
you get that well, all that grace and too much
truth is bad too, because then you beat people over
the head with things that they'll never respond to. So meanwhile,
Zach Brian making a song apparently a big, big splash
about his new song about Ice. Ice is out there
(18:07):
actually saving lives. How can I prove that? Well, the
latest story, Ice has grabbed nearly one hundred illegal alien
big rig runners. These truckers who are driving down the
road who should never have been here. Now this comes
amid some of the most deadly and dangerous accidents we've
(18:27):
seen in recent times that were at the hands of
folks that had them both ten and two, or on
their phone, or who knows what well they're driving down
the road in their truck. So this is a very
big story and one that I think you put those
two together paints a clearer picture for what is going on.
We got tech Talk coming up in just norments about
(18:48):
nine thirty five TRN Canby. We'll be back with this
with some of the most spooky AI tis the season,
the latest developments you will not want to miss. But
first want to thank the folks at the good feats
to I've been telling you about it, and of course
this is the season where I got to get dressed up.
In fact, they'll be in Macosta County at the Micosta
County GOP this weekend for their big Lincoln Day dinner
(19:10):
as an MC and then I've got one for Barry
Alligan and Ionia coming up at the end of the month.
They're doing like a big masquarine. So I gotta get
dressed up. I gotta wear the nice clothes and dress shoes.
A part of it. Well, you know my feet used
to hate that, Not anymore, not since the Good Feet Store,
because the personalized art supports that keep me feeling good
(19:32):
and on my feet moving no matter where I go.
They fit in every single shoe, your tennis shoes, your
even your flip flops and sandals and everything else. And yes,
those dress shoes. Reach out to them today, matter of fact.
Better yet, walk in twenty eighth Street right in front
of Costco and Portage on Westage in front of Colts
(19:52):
and see if they could do what they've done for me,
keep me on my feet and feeling good at the
Good Feed Store. Experience that feeling today. Hey, he's running
as an independent. The Midwesterner has a great story on
Mike Duggan and Duggin's Detroit Half of kids live in
poverty overall rate of thirty four point five percent, highest
(20:15):
in the US. That a success that he claims to
be may not be as shiny and real as he says.
It is. Interesting story up at the Midwestern or The
Midwesterner dot news today. We'll make sure we keep you
(20:36):
up to date on that and more on the way.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
But first tack into the latest in tech and how
it affects you and your world. This is tech Talk
Tuesday on Wood Radios, West Michigan Live.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
All our good friend Trick, can I be joining us
in here today and every Tuesday for our conversations on technology.
And there's some big ones today. In fact, I want
to start with the biggest news we had. The story
Trent said last week is it I kind of remember
doing this and I remember thinking to myself, this is
a massive actor. I also thought at the time that
(21:09):
this was probably the scenario. But something happened while they
had diplomats from all over the world at the UN,
a massive attack on cellular communications and we found out
who's behind it all. Jina, Trent, this is the latest story. Welcome,
then we appreciate it. Break it down the blaze with
(21:30):
this story and again the you know what exactly happened
last week and what they discovered?
Speaker 5 (21:38):
Yeah, Essa, we talked about this brief for last week.
It was fresh news. We didn't have all the information
yet around that big UN meeting, but what the what?
The Secret Service had more informations come out and basically
the Secret Service uncovered a massive SIM farm. What a
SIM farm is is its physical devices that hold SIM
(21:59):
cards one hundred thousand SIM cards on racks of little
receptacle computer devices that you plug them into on shelves
so it doesn't take a lot of space because SIM
cards are pretty small, spread out in three different locations
and the direct vicinity of the UN meeting, and these
(22:19):
things can do a lot of scary things justin they
can overwhelm cell phone towers, they can hack the communication
of text messages and phone calls. They can be used
to hack two fact authentication. We don't know exactly what
these were used for. They're not releasing it even if
they know, they're obviously to tell us. But certainly the
(22:41):
big news here is they are saying definitively this was
set up in secret. Obviously they tried to hide it China.
Is what they're reporting is the people that set this
up and this was used for a nefarious reason reasons
by China, mainly surveillance hacking. Close proximity of the UN
is very interesting that maybe they were trying to intercept
(23:02):
communications or do some kind of a mass shutdown of
communications to scare I don't know, justin. I mean, it's
just the capability of these things is very powerful. Yeah,
and to have those in that close proximity could have
done major disruptions to sell communications or just straight up
surveillance of their text messages and their phone calls.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yeah, what's what they're able to do with this kind
of thing. The intercept get in between one signal and
the other, and they can clone a SIM card and
you know, you have to fight this. That's why you
have two factor authentication all that other. But all these
heads of state in one place and to be able
to get in and somehow maybe get into their communications,
(23:43):
if they already haven't been able to, that would be
that would pose a big threat and clearly some malfeasans.
China doesn't get the credit for all the spying and
all the shenanigans that they're a part of. They really
ought we ought to be talking more about them. That's
why I would Folks heard that they were going to
put this battery plant up in the Macosta County Green
Charter Championship. They were not happy about it, China one
(24:07):
of the reasons. Nevertheless, so and it is a story again,
it's just sort of popped up last week and then
just sort of disappeared like into the mist.
Speaker 5 (24:18):
That's the interesting part. Of these things, Justica. I remember
this SIMP farm is just one that they discovered, and
the Secret Service discovered it, which is typically not discovering
massive cybersecurity things. Because the story gets wilder. The Secret Service,
one of the top people in the Secret Service had
a swatting attempt at him personally wow, and they dug
(24:38):
into it and backtracked this. You remember these sim card
type farms their SIM cards and sell your equipment put
into power inverters that are used on solar panels. You
remember we had a story about that a couple of
weeks ago. These devices are all over the place, and
like you said, they just kind of people hear about
and we just kind of like, oh, whatever, this is
(25:00):
a big deal. This is uh. Some people are saying
this is an active war. It's it's massive, it's widespread,
it's far more than we realize. This is the new
digital threat age that we live in.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Well, I would agree it is an active war, not
the old traditional way of thinking when it comes to war.
But this is the new cyber r this is the
new uh nearly the new battlefield is right there cyber security.
That's why we have Space Force and some of these
others that are that are taking this stuff, and I
hope it seems certainly seems like anyway more and more
(25:36):
seriously than ever before. One of the things we ought
to take seriously, even though it's pretty funny. I played
part of this clip earlier. I won't play the whole
thing now, but I I watched this and I was
blown away on my phone. It's a video that appears
to be President Reagan, it's not. It's AI and he
(25:58):
is cutting what's called a red promo. So he's given
one of those speeches about how he wants to fight
JFK another president and how it's going to go down,
and it's scary good.
Speaker 3 (26:09):
If that isn't something, folks, Jack Kennedy wants to step
into my ring at my WrestleMania and he thinks he's
just going to walk out wearing my heavyweight title. Well,
don't I got something for you to hear, mister Kennedy.
So listen up. I've stared down tougher, meaner opponents, and
while I keep lacing these boots, the Reagan smash is
(26:30):
going to keep laying them out.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
I I watched this and I immediately know, folks, now
this is clearly obvious it's not real. But that's only
because of the context. You got something that's absurd. They're
showing you that there's just no way this was ever real, right,
(26:54):
and then on top of it, you've got a bouncing
little watermark that says Sora on it. Soa happens to
be the AI app, the platform from open Ai, the
folks that brought you chat GPT that are making this possible.
Soura two is the name of the app that does this.
(27:14):
But if it weren't for those things, and it were
a serious conversation about something that was maybe historic in nature,
what would your takeaway be. I don't know that you'd
be able to tell that this was fake, Trent. This
is troubling, yeah.
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Justin it is because people are already used to low quality,
average phone shots that are not real polished, that are
not real high resolution, that are uploaded to social media
platform in the form of shorts, where you have no
context of who the person that made the video, what
the account is. You're not even watching the video for
more than three five ten seconds at the most, never
(27:53):
mind looking at who created the content, or what their
feedback is or long they've been on social media to
vet that people are mindless scrolling through our videos. I
see people everywhere doing it. It's a crazy addiction, and
they have no way of determining the average Joe. Most people,
without putting any thought into have no way of determining
what's real and fake, whether it be a political campaign
(28:14):
to smear to promote somebody, whether it be a natural
disaster event. It's the ultimate fake propaganda tool for any cause,
any movement. Anybody could now post out and blast out.
And you remember, justin it's not just us as people
using these things. You remember the social media, the Internet
(28:35):
has far, far, far more ten x bots and false
people posting and doing stuff that have all access to
these same tools as we do. And that's something we
didn't talk about about. The sim farm, massive use of
those sim farms.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Are you hearing the audio here, I'll make sure that
you don't if you are, But anyway, this is audio
right here or video trin that we're playing in the
background that appears to be again Sora created, but it's
athletes competing against animals, and it's it's it's clearly not real.
There's a gorilla playing baseball and then running the bases.
(29:17):
There's a cheetah I guess that is running against the
guy on the track. I mean, it's incredible all of
these videos, and again they're pretty realistic looking. There's an
alligator swimming against a guy in a pool. A bear
arm that's probably the best one. The bare arm wrestling
the guy.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Yeah, he's gonna lose, just.
Speaker 3 (29:40):
But that.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
We on one hand, we laugh we look at these
and on the other hand, again, I think we're there.
If we're not, if we're you know, if we're not
there yet, we're very close. I think we're there though
where you They're so good you almost can't tell. The
only reason we can tell right now is the context
and how Luda Chris are absurd. Some of these videos are.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
Justin it's it's it's already beyond. I think for ninety
percent of people who are just mindlessly scrolling through stuff
on their phone, vast majority of them are going to
be completely faked out by these things. And it's not
just people, like I said, it's bots. Yes, it's other
people putting stuff on their bots, other countries' influencers, you know,
(30:25):
even I don't know. It just opens up such a
massive world of possibility for us to be all just
trolled out.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
I know this is radio, so you're not going to
have a chance. But those that are watching the behind
the scenes livestream and then if if you want to
later on everything we talk about, we put on the
stack at justin Barkley dot com. It'll be a little
bit after we finished the show today, but go to
justin Barkley dot com you'll be able to see the stack.
And this is a video. I just saw somebody post
(30:53):
that influencer influencers are cooked. They said, this is a video,
okay of someone who's not real. What I eat in
the day, no processed sugar, the woman writes on the screen,
and then you see the video. This is this is
her and she's going through herbal no sweeteners.
Speaker 5 (31:15):
Needed a coconut latte with cinnamon on top. Mid morning,
I snacked on a super fresh fruit ball straight from
the market.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Lunch was a tempe nurse plate with brown rice and
loads of veggies. Around three, I grabbed these coconut energy
balls with peanut.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Here's what it is.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
None of that's real. None of that's real. And to
your point, this is the kind of thing that people
are watching a lot of right now. These short videos
of people are about here's how I spent my day
and here's how I did that. But this is mindless content.
Wait until it's something and they'll be able to I
(31:46):
think one of the reasons we're seeing this right now,
and they're showing it to us right now, is to
make us aware that this stuff is out there and
you all everyone, And as my mindless and absurd as
it is, I kind of have an interesting take on this.
(32:09):
It's chatchy GPT or AI is to open a eyes.
I think the reason why they're doing this is it's
so good. They want people to be warned that it's
not real. Here's Mario getting pulled over by a policeman
on the sun keep your hands on the wheel, almost
wiped out three cars back there. Put in park now,
Massouri offic said, I just don't move, let's just lock
open it right now.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
You don't stop at weaving through traffic, idiot.
Speaker 2 (32:32):
I mean, somebody made that on their phone trend.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
That's amazing. It's again justin I mean, how would you
ever know, scrolling through any videos what's real and fake?
At that point? Social I mean, these platforms are saying
they're going to put a disclaimer, they're going to mark
these as AI generated content. Well, if you can put
a watermark over it and create a whole video by AI,
you can use aid to remove that watermark. So I
(33:00):
don't think that's going to be a feel say for
any of this AI generated content.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Here is Tony Montana from Scarface giving a ted talk.
I'm not gonna play obviously not gonna play all this stuff.
But there there is SpongeBob getting pulled over driving down
the road. SpongeBob, the actual cartoon character getting pulled over
(33:24):
by the police. You can see the Sora watermark there.
But there's so many of these. If you just go
search Sora to over on actual see all of the
all the different things. Now they're not the only ones. Oh,
this might be my one of my favorite. It's Bob Ross.
Bob Ross, remember the painting guy Paint and King Kong ed.
(33:49):
He's like, well, I'm just gonna put a little bayonet
a man with the bayonet in there, and there's a
little splash of red, just you know, just for effect.
And I'm thinking to myself, this, I've never seen anything
like this before. But they've got these people and Trent,
it's it's nuts to watch this.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
The crazy thing, Justin is this is their two point
zero model, right, so this is very early release, very basic.
I mean it's not basic technology, but they have in
the hands of the consumers a very non perfected, non
polished problem that works amazingly well. So what can they
do in five years? Yeah, is just unbelievable. I don't know, Strongling.
Speaker 2 (34:29):
Here is the warning. If you download sora to it
acts kind of like a number one. The warning is
that they can do it. But also if you download
so Too, it acts kind of like a social media app,
and then you upload your personality, your person your picture
or whatever. Then anybody can anybody can use and I'm
(34:51):
sure you know, people like me, maybe even you now, Trent.
You never know. We're out there. They could do that
with us. So I would say, you know now more
than never, even if it's me or anyone else saying things,
you really ought to do your due diligence and check
in on it. We got to run. But this is
the last one. Elon says, hold my Ai Groc is
(35:12):
going to be able to do full movie soon, says,
that's just a clip from a movie. Seeing that Rock
has put out some sort of an action clip there,
and he says, not only will we have this out
by the end of this looks like we'll be able
to make a movie that is at least watchable before
(35:34):
the end of next year. In really good movies in
twenty twenty seven, folks, be warned. You are now fully
aware and up to speed. I gotta post this stuff
