Exploring AI's Origins and Controversies

Today, where Google

and these other, um, engine companies, the

other tech companies, are trying to build artificial

intelligence.

The strangest thing that they've found, one of the strangest things, is

that the systems that they design, this artificial intelligence

which a lot of

people have heard about, is they design a bunch of

systems, they're called neural nets.

It's a term simply taken out of brain work, neur- neurons in the

brain. Nets because they actually look like a

net.

They put in some inputs.

The computers work,

spit out an answer.

Sound normal to you? It's 'cause you're thinking about

that calculator you had in

1976 on your desk.

When you ask the person who designed the system, "How did it

come to that answer?

How did your neural net... Can you show me the calculations?"

They say, "No. We don't know.

We don't know how the thing we designed

actually came up with that answer." That's pretty strange.

Jeffrey Epstein explains the inner workings of AI,

and people are wondering, how did he know so much about it?

You see, people think he was just some double agent whose only

job was to blackmail billionaires.

That's why people are shocked to find out

that none of these AI

models would exist without Epstein.

You see, decades before any of these AI companies

became popular, Epstein was silently funding

some of the fathers of AI, and it started with

Marvin Minsky, who received hundreds of thousands of

dollars

for his AI research in 2002 directly

from Epstein during a ceremony held on St.

Thomas Island. And at the same time, Epstein also

funded Joi Ito's MIT Media Lab, and

Joi Ito later became one of the early investors

in OpenAI. Then there's former Treasury

Secretary Larry Summers, who was a very close

friend of Epstein. Well, he was also on the board of

OpenAI until 2023.

Yeah, just extensive correspondence between the

former Treasury Secretary under

former President Bill Clinton, he's also the former Harvard president,

and Epstein,

including the most recent message on, I think it was the day before, uh,

Epstein was arrested in, in 2019. And so, um,

e- at this point now you are seeing some of the fallout envelop

Larry Summers.

He has now stepped down from the board of OpenAI, for example.

And of course, we cannot forget about Peter

Thiel. We've all heard his insane theories about

immortality.

You, I think you-

Um, yeah

... you would prefer the human race to endure,

right?

Uh.

You're hesitating.

Yeah, well, I...

Yes?

I don't know. I, I would,

I would, um...

This is a long hesitation.

There's so many, there's so many...

This is a long hesitation

... there's so, there's, there's so many questions

and ports in this.

Should the human race survive?

Uh, yes.

Okay.

But, but, uh, I, I also would,

um, I, I, I also would like us to, to radically

solve these problems.

Right.

And, uh, and so, you know, it's always, I don't know, um,

you know...

Yeah, transhumanism

is this, you know, the ideal was this radical

transformation where your human natural body

gets transformed into an immortal body.

That is striking on the sort of transhumanist versus Christian thing

is how similar they are. And so I, I think you can, you can sort of

point to metaphysical differences, but, uh, but, uh, the thing

that sort of is always striking is you're, you're gonna have a transformed body.

Uh, you know, there's gonna be this radical

transformation of the way everything

works. There will be no more random freak

accidents that happen to kill

you. Um, and, uh, and so I think it's actually the

similarities that are, that are

striking, and then, uh, one shouldn't try to overlay some, uh,

some metaphysical

difference.

Do you know where he learned about transhumanism?

From his business associate, Jeffrey Epstein, who was

interested in these ideas back in the early 2000s.

Apparently, he wanted to build AI so he could create

superhumans using his own DNA. No

wonder some of these billionaires are so eager to build

AGI.
