About this episode
Have you said your prayers to Trump Jesus? XO opens the episode preaching the gospel of the AI image the president posted of himself as a Christ-like figure, and what it means when wars get framed as God's will.
Then the data center wars turn real: someone threw a Molotov cocktail at the gate of Sam Altman's home and then threatened OpenAI's headquarters. XO talks about why people are this angry at AI companies, whether the people building it saw this coming, and the Claude Mythos saga, where a model was pulled back over safety concerns: real danger, or the best PR campaign in tech?

0:00Dear heavenly father, Trump, please bless over this country so we may make America great again and we can better serve you. In Trump Jesus most holy name, amen. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another episode of Get Xuded. I have one single question for you. Have you said your prayers to Trump Jesus? Have you even seen Trump Jesus? Have you heard? Have you heard of the word of Trump Jesus? It's it's something that some people want to dismiss. Some people want to look at as blasphemous. I think it's something that should be celebrated. I think it's something that should be talked about worldwide. We've all been talking about this whole second coming thing. Is it real? Will it really happen? Is Jesus Christ going to come back? Well, we got Trump Jesus. And honestly honestly, I'm I'm tired of people trying to fight against the movement.
0:58I'm tired of people trying to act like this isn't some sort of prophetic mission that is also tied to a higher power. I don't want people to think that this is just baloney. I'm tired of it. President Trump recently shared an image of himself that can only be described as Christ adjacent featuring the kind of glowing aura and ethereal lighting usually reserved for stained glass windows or high-budget fantasy posters. I think that we should be celebrating. Because a lot of people a lot of people want the call. Most people don't get it. And out of the people that get the call a lot of them want to push back against it. The fact that the fact that he is willing to step into this position. Again, I I hate to repeat myself.
1:53I think this should be celebrated. Why why why would you push back? Why would you have anything negative to say about that? He finally he finally has shared the picture that that most of us honestly we've been waiting for the smoking gun. We've been waiting for the proof. We've been waiting and we've been getting the feeling. We've been getting the feeling they've been talking behind closed doors and these missions they're using God that they're saying that this is what God wants that this is going to be the Armageddon that brings back Jesus Christ. Maybe Jesus Christ isn't supposed to be Jesus Christ. It's it's Trump Jesus. That's what we get. That's what we get and we we just decide to what? Throw it away? Just cast it aside like like Trump Jesus praise be his name is is just trash. Like it's some some laughable thing. Saying that this is Christ adjacent.
2:53I guess Christ 2.0 is I think a better descriptor. Trump Jesus, you know, praise be his name is what we've been asking for. It's it's what we have been praying for whether you know it or not. Whether you want to accept it or not, it's a move that has sent the theological and political worlds into a collective tailspin. Religious leaders are calling it the ultimate act of blasphemy, but what's most striking might be the ego required to hit share on a photo of yourself as a savior. I I think I think anybody that believes in Trump Jesus is with me when I say the Pope. Okay? the Pope. What's what's wrong with you? How how how dare you? How dare you? You think you speak for God? Who who put you in charge? Who put you in charge of this? Who told you that you had the right? Pope.
3:52I I think that's the blasphemy that I'm smelling. That's the blasphemy that I'm seeing in the picture. We have a man that has stepped into his role and we we just cast him aside. And I for one am thankful for Trump Jesus. Praise be his name. It's It's something that Yeah, what can I say? I'm celebrating. I'll celebrate How about that? You don't have to celebrate. Not everybody Not everybody accepted Jesus Christ when he came. Jesus Christ 1.0 uh formerly known as Jesus Christ, we kept the Jesus and we changed it to Trump Jesus. Praise be his name. Jesus Christ 1.0, he was not accepted by everybody. You might have heard of you know, somebody getting so upset that they decided to put him up on a cross. Maybe this is what that is.
4:49Maybe this is what that is. Even people that claim to be religious, even people that claim to say that they could speak for God, they they denounce Jesus. Is that what this is? the Pope. the Pope. This is what you're going to do? This is what you're going to do? We finally get our chance. We get our chance, the modern man. It's a It's about time. I guess is to say the least. Wouldn't you say that the world has gone to hell enough? How much worse do you want it to be? Why would you just throw this aside? This comes at a particularly convenient time for an administration that is already leaning heavily into divine mandate rhetoric for its foreign policy. Of course, they are. This is what's happening behind closed doors. This is a divine mandate.
5:44This is from a higher power. You may not understand. You may want to just cast this aside like, "Oh, it's nothing." But, they know. And finally, they decided to go public. They decided to open up the floodgates. You know what? You guys are always saying that we're being hush-hush, that we're keeping back. There is a secret. There is a secret. This isn't just Donald Trump anymore. This is Donald Trump Jesus. Praise be his name. Acceptance is something that maybe you should work on. That us we as a whole, as America, should maybe work on acceptance. He's accepted. He's led by example. He has accepted his role. He has accepted his position. I mean, look at Trump Jesus. Praise be his name.
6:40It's It's a miracle. It is a miracle. We are literally seeing a miracle. I I wouldn't put it past them to have actually put this art out. Cuz that's what this is. This is a work of art. I don't I don't think that they just made this up. I think that this may have really happened. How many people has he already saved publicly that we know of? This is Trump Jesus that we're that we're talking about. Trump Jesus. Praise be his name. It's It's something worth celebrating. Accept it. Accept it. Look at this. Look at this. They They He even has his disciples. The people that get to walk with him. You should be so lucky. You should be so lucky to even be able to witness this, to even be able to to have something like Truth Social, where you get to to just hear the message straight from the horse's mouth. They used to have to travel by foot when it was Jesus Christ 1.0.
7:39This was something that they had to do the the hard way, the long way. But now, with the modern technology that we have, we have the luxury of hearing every single word of every single word. We get to know when he really means something because he puts it out on Truth Social. And as it says in the name, this is the social site that you go to if you seek the truth. And a lot of people they want to put their heads down. They want to they want to stay blind to the truth and it's okay. It's okay because I think it's it's almost it's almost natural. It's it's instinctual to want to be blind to that. Please just just keep it away. Keep it away. I don't I don't want to deal with that. There's grown-ups in the room. And there are. There are. And this grown-up happens to be Trump Jesus. Praise be his name. This is something to be celebrated. Something to be celebrated. So of course divine mandate rhetoric is going to be used in foreign policy.
8:38When we go up and blow these these children and these women and these people that are innocent to these wars, it's it's because that's what God wants. Oh, you didn't know? Oh, you didn't know? This is why I say things like the pope. He's saying that we shouldn't be doing mass murders, that we shouldn't just be dropping bombs on schools and like that, that we shouldn't be threatening the extinction of an entire civilization. He's saying that we should not be doing this. He said he speaks for God. That's funny. Maybe at any other point in time, I would be inclined to believe you, Mr. Pope, but we we live in an age where we have Trump Jesus. Praise be his name. This is to be celebrated. Accept it. Accept it. Move on from this.
9:34Just move on. Move on. Accept it and move on. You got the wrong guy on your cross and it's okay. We're going to change it. We're going to change it and it's going to be beautiful. It's going to be the best the best crosses that you've ever seen and he's not going to be hanging. He's going to be the one dismantling the cross. Not because of some weird blasphemous thing that I know where you're going to go with that. It's because he is dismantling everything that you used to think. Jesus Christ 1.0 let himself get crucified. Is this who you really want to follow? Is this who you want to follow? The guy that just lets himself get strung up like that? I think I think that we should be surrounding ourselves with more powerful beings. And I'm not going to say people. I'm not going to say people because that would insinuate that Trump Jesus, praise be his name, is anywhere close to the same level as us.
10:30He's better. He's better. He's stronger. He's He's smarter. He has more tactical instincts that that you would never even dream of. I don't care if you've served in the military and you think you know war is better. It doesn't matter. I don't care if you were the Pope and you think you know religion better. I don't care. I don't care if you've been a lifelong politician and you think you know politics better. This man was on The Apprentice. This man This man has stepped into his role. He's accepted it. Can you? Can you accept it? Can you accept Trump Jesus, praise be his name, into your life? And I don't want to be that Bible thumping person that's going around knocking on doors trying to spread the word, but here I am. Here I am. Here I am spreading the word for you. For us. Because we need this. We need this right now.
11:26We need this. He's He's been getting heat. He's been getting a a of backlash. He's He's He's been trying to step out of the role that he literally just accepted. He literally was just like, "Okay, they're ready. They're ready. They are ready. This is why they don't release any UFO files, by the way. They try to tell you the truth. They try to tell you, and you don't want to believe them. You just You want to continue to blindly go through life existing, clinging to the old versions of what you called the truth, and it's not It's not true. This is why they don't release the rest of the Epstein files. You're not ready. You're not. They try to tell you the truth, and you don't accept it. Accept it. He accepted it. He accepted it. We had a man that accepted it. And by golly, warts and all, I accepted him. I accepted Trump Jesus.
12:26Praise be his name. This is to be celebrated. It's to be celebrated. By casting himself as a messianic figure, Trump is essentially signaling that his executive orders aren't just policy. They're prophecy. It's probably true. It's probably something that you're just going to ignore. Okay, we tried. We tried. We tried. We tried. He said, "Fuck it. I'm going to take it down. I'm going to take it down, and when you ask me about it, I'm going to just I'm going to shrug it off. I'm going to shrug it off. Sure, I'm not Trump Jesus." Have you ever seen like where it's like It's like a movie or a TV show where it's some crazy elaborate story that's happening, and somebody's just like, "Please, you got to tell me. Just tell me the truth. I deserve that much." And they finally say, "You know what? Here it goes." And they open it up, and after learning the real truth, it's so crazy.
13:22It's so out of this world that they're They're "You know what? Fine. Don't tell me." You know what I'm talking about. That little bit has been overplayed. And it's because it's it's it's instinctual. I understand. I'm trying to be understanding. That is the way that that I was taught. That is the word of Trump Jesus. Praise be his name. This is what he teaches us. I accept your downfalls, people, humans, America, society. Humanity is failing. We are falling. And we're letting it happen. We're just free falling, acting like the non-existent parachute on our backs doesn't need to be there. It doesn't need to be there. We're fine. We can fly, we say. We can fly. We know the truth. The truth can smack you straight in the face. It can post right in front of you. It can give you a picture generated by artificial intelligence depicting the exact truth.
14:22And we just ignore it. We just ignore it. Trump Jesus, everybody. Praise be his name. You have seen the image, the one right here that Trump posted on social media yesterday, then deleted at some point late this morning today. You've also heard the outrage, and now you have an explanation. It's not me being Jesus. It's me being a doctor. Mr. President, did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ and Well, it wasn't a picture. It was me. I've I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross. It's a Red Cross
14:58Look what you made him do. And uh only the fake news could come up with that one. So, I I had uh I just heard about it. And I said, "How did they come up with that?" It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better. And I do make people better. I make people uh a lot better. As an example, uh the 11,900 hear understand your husband's going through a treatment. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. He's going to go through some very serious And we'll just going to stop it there. Yeah, no. The Red Cross and all that good Sure, whatever. Back to helping people. Back to stuff that really matters. Trump Jesus just announced his position. A doctor? A doctor. That's what we're supposed to believe. Look Look at Look at our doctor here. Look at the doctor here. Are you supposed to tell me that I I shouldn't believe I should just ignore the fact that this is my lord and savior. Trump Jesus, praise be his name.
15:56This is who we've been waiting for. This is what should be celebrated. I mean I'm supposed to just ignore the fact that there's clearly some sort of like angel or angels going up to heaven in the background. One looks kind of demonic or something like that. I'm assuming it's a demon that had been vanquished. It might be the devil because this is what Trump Jesus does. Praise be his name. He He defeats evil. He defeats evil. He defeats evil. They know. They know. They're looking up to him. I'm looking up to him for a reason. We believe in him for a reason. And look what you made him do. We can't accept it. We can't accept it as a whole. Some of us can. Some of us are open-minded enough to accept it. Some of us realize that this is This is the future. There's no There's no going to church anymore and actually believing in what Jesus Christ You can't do that.
16:58You can't. I mean, you can. This This is This is choosing is basically like choosing to only read the Old Testament. This This the next version. It's the next version. I guess I guess this is This is what happens. This is what they the whole cancel culture like what the kids say, this is beginning ridiculous, I think. I think we had a great man and he still is a great man, the greatest that's ever been. I think that he finally accepted his position and we not me not his true believers, but we as America we laughed him out of his seat. But he's the one that's going to be laughing because all of those conversations behind closed doors about divine mandate, do you think that that stopped? I mean, you can't seriously look at this picture and say, you know what? That's a doctor right there.
17:56Do you think as dumb as he he just made it seem like his audience is, do you think that they're that dumb? I know I'm not that dumb. I know I see through that. I know I see Trump Jesus for who he is. Praise be his name. I know I see through the whole doctor facade. Clearly that is not a doctor. If I'm smart enough to see through that come on. You know Trump Jesus, praise be his name, is smart enough to believe he's he's he's he's he's smart enough to to know better. That I can get away with this whole doctor thing and it's going to, you know, it's going to fall aside, but I know that this is me, who I am. Even though he might not publicly accept it anymore he has accepted it in his heart. I believe that I believe that whether or not he's publicly out as Trump Jesus, praise be his name, I believe I have faith that he will continue to carry out his mission in the name of God.
19:08He will continue to bomb more countries in the name of God. He will continue to bomb more people in the name of God. You have a president who will snatch him up in the name of God. I believe I have I have faith. Now they have to go back behind closed doors and talk about this. Now they have to say this in the privacies of their own home. Can you believe? Can you believe that we we get to witness this and nobody else knows? Nobody else knows that this is the second coming. They all thought that it would be the same guy in robes and a beard and all that No. No. No. It's going to be this guy. This guy that everybody wanted to count out. Everybody wanted to hate on. Everybody wanted to lock up. It's that guy. You morons. You let a hero walk away. And he's not the only one under fire.
20:06Donald Trump Trump Jesus, praise be his name, is not the only one on fire. When I said a couple episodes ago that the wars have begun. I was talking about data center wars because somebody decided to shoot up a city councilor's house just because they voted yes on data centers. I said the war has begun. But it's not just against data centers. It's going to be against the robots, the Waymos. It's going to be against artificial intelligence. It's going to be against the future. This is a war against the future and another person under fire, the latest victim in this war, luckily not a casualty, is Mr. Sam Altman himself, the CEO of ChatGPT. It is the the basically equivalent of AI in most people's minds. They think of ChatGPT. Well, I guess that's a good thing. And it's a bad thing.
21:03It's a good thing as far as branding. It's a bad thing as far as you're going to have deranged people come and try to kill you and your family. And it's something you have to accept. When you bring super intelligence into the world, in the fine print, you're going to see that you have to deal with like this. You're going to have to. It's a part of the gig. Okay? It's It's no different than when that bomb went off when Ariana Grande was just trying to perform. It's no different. She realized that that that that this is a part of it. That statistically, eventually, if you perform in front of people, and it's not just her, obviously, it's any any of these superstars that are selling out arenas and like that, and they consistently do it. They know eventually that they're going to have some bozo that's like, "You know what? I am just enough of a nutjob to make this happen."
22:02And if you decide to bring super intelligence into the world, a part of the gig is risking your entire family getting burned alive. It's risking everything that you you have going up in flames. We've officially moved past the stage where the backlash against AI involves strongly worded open letters and think pieces. In San Francisco, the response to the Silicon Valley elite has shifted from digital descent to literal Molotov cocktails. Over the weekend, Sam Altman's residence was targeted not once, but twice in a series of events that feel like a beta test for a very low-tech revolution. The revolution has begun. Rise up. Quietly. Quietly for now. Rise up. Rise up. This is going to stop everything. This is going to stop, so stock up on your bottles of alcohol and get all of the rags that are disposable that you can get, not your nice rags that you use to wipe your ass.
23:07Put that to the side. These are going to be ones that will go up in flames. Put them to the side. This is the moment. This is the moment where we rise up. This is how we beat the robots with fire. This is how we beat artificial intelligence by throwing bottles of fire at them. On Friday morning, a suspect allegedly threw an incendiary device at the gate of Altman's home before heading downtown to threaten to burn down the OpenAI headquarters. This is how you do it. This is how it's done. This is Honestly, you should be writing this down. You should be taking notes. You should be looking at this as an exact blueprint. This is how you get things done. If you notice anything happen with your Chat GPT agent or your your little whatever, I don't know what these techies are calling it. The devil inside of your phone.
24:06If you notice a little glitch, that's what this was. That's what this was. We're stopping things one little piece of you know, arson at a time. We're going to start with your driveway. We're going to start with your driveway. We're going to throw it right at your gate. Don't climb the gate. That's risky. There's things that could happen on the other side. You don't know what they have. They It could be like where they have weapons. It could be one of those things where they have an animal, like some sort of attack dog. And just honestly, it's not worth the time. It's not worth the time. It's It's not actually about hurting anybody. It's about the message. It's about the message. Soon Soon we'll go over the gate, but right now, we're just going to burn that down. And even if it's just a little piece, it's about the message. And that's exactly why this person decided to to to let them know that he was going to going to head downtown and he's going to burn the OpenAI headquarters.
25:08You don't You don't start with something big. You go to You go to the gate first. You go to the gate and you send a message. And the message is not just, you know, you. It's also, "Hey, I'm going to do something else." Don't alert the police. Give me enough time to get all the way there. This is a part of the reason why you don't go over the gate. Do you see how this master plan is coming together? And this is how we we spark change. First, OpenAI down with the rest. I think um I think, honestly, the revolution is going exactly as planned. Some people might say it's pointless. Some people might say that this is just senseless violence and and it's not actually changing anything. It's not actually fixing anything. And I say those people. They need to They need to pray to Trump Jesus.
26:05Praise be his name. I think that I think that we're going to have to recruit more people. We're going to have to get people that are more brazen. That are able to go right to the line. And start this revolution. This is the moment that we take it back. This is the moments where humans fight back. And apparently, if you're going to try to set fire to the future of intelligence, you might as well start with the guy's driveway. I don't I feel like I feel like I feel like that was a little bit sarcastic. I feel like that was a little bit That is where you start. That is where you start. This is the master plan. This is what we do. This is how we get things done. You start in a guy's driveway. You start there, you start with the gate, and then you head to the headquarters. You send a message about all of this.
27:01It's you, and you're sending a message that you're getting to the next step. And you better hope that they don't call the police. You better hope that nobody responds. And just in case you were thinking that this is idiotic, just in case you were thinking that um again, this is just senseless violence. It's just clearly just destruction of property. I would like to remind you that this is the master plan. So, have some respect. And just to keep the weekend interesting, two more suspects were arrested on Sunday, April 12th for firing shots in front of the property. What did I tell you? What did I tell you? You thought this was a game. You thought this was a game. You thought this was a game. I don't I don't know how much more serious that we could be. These These drive-bys, they're going to soon be directed at a person.
27:59It's going to get worse and worse. And and seriously, it it is it is getting worse and worse. These were people These were probably the same people that were attacking Waymos. They were attacking different automated vehicles. And basically using them as a punching bag with the label the future on it. This is all just people fighting against the future. And now it's getting to the point where we are sending actual shots at city council members and CEOs and throwing Molotov cocktails like it's a video game. I I think we really might have a revolution on our hands. I think it actually it actually is getting worse. We are witnessing the first physical signs of a war between the people who are building a trillion-dollar IPO and the people who are just tired of watching the world get disrupted into a pile of ash.
29:00People are angry. What did you expect? This is part of the gig, man. This was a part of the gig. Did you read the fine print? Did you eggheads read the fine print? It's not just build superintelligence. Eventually, maybe it's a coin toss if it's the end of the world or it might be ultimate abundance. I'm hoping for abundance, personally. I'm I'm hoping for the optimistic route, but it's a coin toss, nonetheless. It's playing Russian roulette, none the less. Even the people who are creating that will admit that to you. And some people might want to downplay that, like these people are being irrational, and they are. They are. Like we should we should all cast away any of these people that are doing violent to these tech bros. We should cast them away. They they do not represent what society should be, in my opinion. But what did you think was going to happen?
30:00What did you think the outcome was going to be as you just replace people's jobs as you just put fear into people's minds thinking that their families are actually going to starve? That they are actually going to be disposable. They are going to be something that can just be thrown away. A hundred workers turned into one robot, into one AI agent. It's it's scary. People are scared. People don't want to just wait around. They want to act. They want to say I did something. When they come home and and little Johnny says, "Dad, what did you do today?" After he got laid off, he doesn't want to say, "I got fired and I just came home because I'm a piece of shit." He didn't want to say that. He didn't want to say that that because of this son, I I won't be able to get it up for your mother anymore.
31:00She's going to start sleeping with her personal trainer and give it 6 months, she will leave me and you are going to move away. And I I did nothing. They don't want to say that. They don't want to just go home with their tail tucked between their legs. They don't. They don't and they won't. They want to say, "I did something." Daddy lost his job but he found his purpose. They want to say that they found something. They They want to live the American dream. And you're trying to you're trying to strip that from them. So, they found a new dream. And they they kind of look at history and say, "Maybe this is the revolution all over again." Except we're not we're going to we're not going to be dumping tea in the in the harbor or whatever the We're going to be sending shots. We're going to be throwing Molotov cocktails. We're going to be we're going to be a problem.
32:04The fact that it is ramping up, the fact that this isn't just one thing that happens here and there, that is happening over and over again. You see people that are getting like actually assassinated and like that. People are are cheering and and Like just because they're in an industry that you don't like, it's crazy how the tides are turning. People are are saying that enough is enough. I'm not saying this right. I'm not saying that this should happen. I'm not saying I endorse this. But it is what it is. It's happening. You're arguing with God. This was put into our our biology. This is how we were designed to respond to this. What did you think was going to happen? This is in the fine print. This was there all along. And if you were willing to take the chance, if you're willing to take the chance and you're you're flipping the coin or playing Russian roulette that what you're creating is going to end up recursively fixing and improving itself and then able to make itself some sort of god-like being that may either fix or destroy the world.
33:14You're already taking that chance. So, if you're already taking that chance and then you see in the fine print, "Hey, by the way, if {slash} when this starts to work, you're going to start displacing people. When you start displacing people, people are going to get hungry. And remember that people are only a few mis meals to going buck wild." And they might might do some They might choose to come at you. They might come at your family. I know that you you love your family, so to speak. I mean, you did take this chance. And maybe this will be in a more abundant life for your family, but this is this is the deal with the devil that you decided to sign the line. You decided to sign your name on the dotted line and here you are suffering the consequences. It's not right. I'm not endorsing it. I'm not saying it's okay, but it is what it is. It is what it is. Augmented responded with a blog post featuring a photo of his family hoping that humanizing himself might dissuade the next person from trying to incinerate his fence.
34:16It's um too little and too late. So, you're going to have to burn. You're going to have to burn. At some point. At some point. That's the risk that you take. Maybe you'll get away. Maybe you'll get away without without it happening. I hope you do. I hope that's your story. I don't I don't I don't want you to I don't want you to burn. Let me just put that disclaimer out there. I don't think anybody should burn you. But you're going to burn. And if not you, maybe your family. If not you or your family, maybe it's your your your employee. Maybe it's it's it's it's uh one of your investors. Maybe it is your competition. Maybe they start getting plucked off one by one. And you might you might feel like you're on top of the world. Like you're king of the hill.
35:16Until it gets down to only you. And yeah, that might help when it comes to everybody's going to be looking at you for the answers, but eventually that means it's only you left. And my guess is you're going to you're going to stop caring about all this, and you're going to start thinking, "Holy This is this is actual war. I might have to leave the country. This isn't This isn't what I thought it would be. It worked. It worked. Who would have thought that a deal with the devil would end like this? Who would have thought? I think I think that a photo of your family, while while be it it's touching, it's uh it's it's it's not enough. It's not enough. We don't care. Again, we not me.
36:12Not me. We as in the people that are upset. The people that are crazy enough to come at you with flames and alcohol mixed together. Like the the people that that think of this Like it like life is really just a video game. The people that said, "You know what? I give up. Just put me in prison. Put me in prison. Put me in prison. I'm not going home. I'm not going home and telling my son I just gave up. I'm not. These are going to be the people that they're they're going to get worse. What What did you think was going to happen? Did you read the fine print? Did you read the fine print? It's it's not enough. The photo of you and your family is not enough. People are actually using it to try and figure out your location. It It wasn't It backfired. It's not enough.
37:10They're actually thinking about the order in which to kill you and your family. You will be last. It's not enough. These people can't be they can't be negotiated with. You can't You can't humanize yourself with these people. You've You've made them feel like they were disposable. You made them feel like they were helpless, hopeless, unable to continue. They're getting replaced. And I guess when that happens and this is this is never been seen. This isn't something that has been documented. This isn't something where where we know to this extent of how people are going to respond, but it it looks like what happens is people revert back to their most like basic self, like just an animal. The most primitive version of what a human is.
38:07Think caveman. Why Why do you think they're throwing fire at you? Throw fire. That's uh This is what's happening. This is what you're doing. What did you think was going to happen? Did you read the fine print? I This is why people are upset with you, by the way. Your deal affects everybody else. Everybody else. Not everybody wants to be optimistic. Even if things haven't taken a crazy negative turn yet. We're we're being monitored by the Terminator Skynet or whatever the It hasn't gone that dark yet, and yet people still want to think negatively. Not everybody wants to be optimistic. Not everybody wants to think like you. You have to think like this. This is how you sleep. You probably don't sleep much. You probably have a fire extinguisher by your bed for these very moments. But when you do sleep, when you do finally nod off and you take a little bit of Ambien or melatonin or whatever the you use to get your Z's, I know it's because you have a thought in your mind that's like, "Hey, this is going to be all right.
39:20It's okay, Sam. It's going to be all right. It's okay." And you go to sleep. You drift off. There's another day. Check that off the list. We did it. We made it. We made it. We made it. I think um I think you knew this was coming, Sammy boy. I think you knew. I think you knew, and that's why it's like, "Hey, it's all right. He just got my gate. He nicked it. He nicked it. Let's try not to do this anymore. Remember, I'm a person. I made a bad deal. I'm I'm I'm summoning this, but it's okay. It's okay. It's okay. Look at my family. Look at my family. It's okay. The timing isn't a coincidence between a scathing investigative piece questioning his trustworthiness and OpenA.I.'s increasingly cozy relationship with the Department of Defense, the savior of humanity narrative is hitting some serious friction.
40:19I mean, what did you what did you expect was going to happen? What What did you expect? Of course, we got the call. We got the call. Somebody's going to do it. Somebody's going to turn this technology into weapons. And you don't want it to be China. You don't want it to be them. You don't want the Chinese to be coming for us. You don't want that. You want this to be America. And this is an American investment into our future. Believe me. I thought about this a lot when I was sleeping last night. And the little Sammy inside of me said that everything will be okay, and I believe him. I believe. And I hope you are right, Sammy boy. I hope you're right. You uh you're getting some side eyes just because you're deciding to use this for uh the Department of Defense.
41:21You're trying to to turn this into weapons. This is the exact thing that people were scared of, but they don't know the plan like you do. And it's making it really hard for people to stay optimistic. You're doing all the things that people are like, "Hey, man, I'm trying to I'm trying to argue for the cause here. I'm trying to say that this could be okay. I'm trying to say that look, a lot of fear and loathing is going on when it comes to the future. It's fueling things like this. It's fueling episodes of rage and violence that is going to ultimately lead to a war, for real. And no, I'm not talking about like left and right civil war type I'm talking about people just doing random like that. Like on some uh Like what's it called? Like a like a like rebel forces or some Um Like you know what I mean?
42:17They're going to live in the in the woods or something like that. They're going to be on the the outskirts of of society and it's going to be a war for them. It's going to be everything that they live for. He said you took my job, but you helped me find my purpose. This is what is going to be the story. You took my job, but I found my purpose. I now know what I'm supposed to do and it's destroy you. It's the It's the fine print, my guy. It's the fine print that I think you you either ignored or you you didn't give it much attention and it's it's understandable. Again, with the looming threat of this whole flip of the coin, Russian roulette, this whole thing where where even making a deal for, the whole thing that we're creating might end up destroying us. So, with all that I can see how you're like, "Eh, somebody might come and try to light my family on fire.
43:15It's okay. It's okay. I have photos for that. I have photos because I'm a person. I'm a I'm a person and it turns out that when you tell the world that you're building something that will inevitably replace them, some people don't wait for the official roll out to express their feedback. And this is what this guy looks like right here. He uh He This is This is the threat that you have now. This guy. This guy right here who looks like he's maybe 123 lb soaking wet. He He definitely vapes all the time and his mother doesn't like it. He's had enough. He was told to do the right thing. This is what you have to face in San Francisco, man. This is This is the bad guys that will be knocking at your door. I don't know who you thought that this is going to be. You might have seen too many like James Bond movies or just like just had a picture in your head that isn't reality cuz this is reality.
44:12This is who your bad guy is. This is This is the haircut that your your bad guys decide to have. They're all going to have this haircut. They're all going to look just like this. They're all going to have this type of wardrobe on. They're going to wear those type of shoes. And it looks like it looks like he has a Champion sweatshirt. That's That's a That's a telltale sign. If they have a Champion hoodie, then then look out. This is how they're going to dress. This is what they're going to look like. They're going to look like just an an average everyday person. I'm not going to try to put a a a a a race on it. But you're probably looking at like like a white person. And I'm not trying to stereotype with genders. Um but it's it's going to be a male. Um yeah. They they're not going to they're not going to outwardly look threatening.
45:07They're going to look like this. This is your bad guy now. This is your This is your Lex Luthor. Superman. Sammy boy. This is what you have to face. This was the fine print. This is what you just glazed over. This is what you decided to ignore. So um I hope your your family sleeps well at night knowing that that this this is what they have to look forward to. This. And no nobody nobody should be taken out at the hands of this. This is This is just sad. This is sad. And deals with the devil are they're they're known for being A tricky. A little up. A little while I didn't think about it like that.
46:04It's kind of like when you ask for something with the genie, be careful how you word it because you might end up, you know, getting uh the the the worst outcome of what you're looking for. This is uh This is what you get. This was the fine print. This is the monster that you didn't see coming. You thought the monster was was the one that you were creating. They're going to get you first. I uh I feel bad. I feel bad because the fact that people like this are going to be what's haunting your children's nightmares. It's It's going to be frequent. It's not like It's not like a a typical bad guy. You might You might have think of somebody kind of like like me, I guess. They You know what I mean?
47:00They have tattoos on their faces or some I'm a nice person, but, you know, I can get it. This is This is what you think. Might be Look Look at that. It's a criminal. He might sell drugs. Might do something. Might rob something. That's a bad guy. You look at this. Look at this. Imagine this being your bad guy. That's everybody. I I can't I can't go I can't go into a store without seeing somebody that looks just like this. What do you do? What do you do? That's how paranoia starts. That's how paranoia starts. And maybe maybe people would say they're just being paranoid. Maybe they would say that this is all just lunatics. That yeah, maybe some people get replaced or maybe maybe some industries will will evolve or change or fall off, but new ones will come up. Maybe that this isn't as dangerous as people are saying. But, um maybe maybe we're wrong.
47:57The uh the banking industry just had a collective heart attack, but it turns out the revolution is being kept behind a very expensive velvet rope. Anthropic's latest model, Claude Methuselah, isn't actually hitting the public market yet. Instead, the company has launched Project Glasswing, a gated community of tech and finance giants, including JP Morgan Chase, Apple, and Nvidia, where the only ones allowed to play with the software that supposedly has the power to melt to melt the global economy. This was the the new version of Claude. Claude is kind of like ChatGPT, if you ever heard of it. It is the new version of Claude that had to be taken back. Hold on. This is going to change the world. This is going to everything up in the worst ways possible. The narrative being pushed is one of extreme caution. Methuselah is reportedly so good at hunting down software vulnerabilities that Anthropic is terrified of unleashing a digital god.
48:53And at least at least they've they've accepted the fact that that they are they are playing with fire right now. That that this is something that could be it could be get taken taken out of control. It can get out of hand. We're talking about an AI that can find thousands of critical flaws in the time it takes a human to open a ticket. This too dangerous to release branding was affected effective enough to trigger a closed door emergency meeting between Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Fed Chair Jerome Powell, and the nation's top bank CEOs to discuss how to keep the storm from breaking the financial grid. It's uh it basically would have it where where everybody's money would get up. All the banking industries, it would get up. All the the Bitcoin, everything. Everything that people have been worried about is exactly what apparently what Methuselah is was going to be able to do.
49:52I think uh uh I think that we should be terrified. Because if you think about how people use the technology already at hand, you do have people that use it for good, of course. You have people that are innocent. They're just trying to to get by. They're trying to live life. They're trying to use this technology in some way to benefit themselves. And some people say, "You know how this technology would benefit me? I'm going to scam somebody. I'm going to look up data and call random numbers and trick grandma out of her retirement money. I'm going to I'm going to some people up." Does that mean that we shouldn't have phones or the internet just because people are going to to use it? Maybe that's the argument, but something like this something like this one person wanting to to do bad can disrupt everything for everybody. So, the chances of not one person everybody's going to just become ethical people, get out of here.
50:52It's not going to it's not going to happen. It's it's not something that's even realistic. But if you look past the high-stakes drama, the cynicism starts to leak through. Some security experts and even the Pentagon are side-eyeing the whole spectacle as a masterclass in pre-IPO marketing. By labeling their own product a national security threat, Anthropic isn't just practicing AI safety, they're building a brand as the only responsible adult in a room full of Silicon Valley cowboys. This is this is textbook. I get it now. I get it. I get it. So, they're saying this is You guys are being dramatic. You're saying that this would end the world and you need to pull it back. This is for show. This is for show. Like definitely for show because why would you even let even a gated community like people at JP Morgan Chase, Apple, Nvidia, why would you even them have at it?
51:48Because what if it leaks? What if there's some little mistake? This could end the world. This could end everything in society that we know it. They're saying maybe this is Maybe you're saying that this is so bad and we're going to pull it back and that makes us the good guys. You got people like Mr. Sammy Sam that's wanting to work with the Department of Defense. Guess what? We said no when they wanted us to work with them. We said no to making weapons. And now we feel like we have a a a new version of our artificial intelligence that's so powerful, that's so disruptive that we're going to we're going to pull it back. Cuz we're we're just the good guys. People are saying that this is And I guess it makes sense. They're they're burning down people's gates and man. They uh The wars have begun. And when the wars begin, it's probably best if you're looked at as the company that is at least trying.
52:52It's not going to stop anything. You probably still didn't read the fine print. You didn't read it. You you virtue signaling that you're the best. You're the most you know you're the most well-meaning of all the companies. It's not going to help anything. It's actually going to probably just make matters worse. Because somebody is going to stick up for you at one point. Somebody's going to say, "Hey, not them. Let's not do them, guys. Think about this. Think about how they had Methos. They had Methos. Think about how bad Methos could be." And somebody's going to say, "Hold on. Let's let's pay a little bit more attention." And they're going to look under the hood and you don't want them doing that. You don't want them doing that. You don't need some sort of super intelligence for these people to get uh radicalized. They They have They have all of the motivation that they need with what's already out.
53:54You've already done enough. Even if you're trying to virtue signal now, it's too late. Ask him. Ask Mr. Altman. Ask if it's too late. Maybe you put a picture up. Put a picture of your you and your family. And if you don't have like a family, maybe like get your parents. If they died, go get like an aunt, a distant cousin, somebody somebody. Shake hands with a like a black guy or something like that. Get some points. Get some points that you're a human. That you're a person. This This isn't going to help. They don't care. They don't This is already over their heads. Cuz what you have now is already is already able to replace so many people. It's already up so many people. This is a And And let's just let This is who you have. This is who you have to to be scared of. This. This is who you should be running from. Don't Don't worry about playing the the virtuous good guy.
54:49You should be looking out for people in Champion hoodies. You need to You need to be playing the the correct game. But um The Pentagon, however, isn't buying the hype, reportedly blasting the move as a PR campaign and designating Anthropic a supply chain risk. We are witnessing a bizarre standoff where a tech company is trying to manifest its own god-like status through strategic gatekeeping, while the government tries to figure out if they're dealing with a genuine digital weapon or just a very aggressive sales pitch. Either way, the message to the rest of us is clear. The tools that could actually secure our data are being hoarded by the same institutions that usually lose it, all under the guise of protecting us from the same technology they're building. It's okay. Calm down. It's all right. It's just a PR campaign. It's just a PR campaign. What if and this is how this is how controversies um or conspiracy theories rather, this is how they start.
55:55Because we don't know what's true anymore. We don't know what to actually believe. We don't know what to buy anymore cuz everything everybody is trying to sell something to to us. Is it is it the is it the AI company that's trying to look out for their own public image and say, "Hey, this is just me as me as a corporate company as the person looking out as the entity looking out. We're not like OpenAI ChatGPT. You don't have to worry about that. We're not going to work with the Department of Defense. We are here for you. We want to make sure everything is safe for you for the future of humanity. So, when something like Mythos comes out and we see that it can disrupt everything, well, we get worried and we we decide to preemptively respond and we take it back and we take it back.
57:00We we take it down where people can't just access that. That's story one. They're just a wholesome company that wants to make sure everything's all right. Story two, this is actually a real threat. This isn't You can you can look at me like that all you want, like brand me as the person that's looking out. I y'all. I'm looking out for my own best interest. I'm making sure that you know, the world doesn't burn cuz who am I going to sell to? And this is actually that disruptive. We really aren't ready. You guys can believe what you want, but Mythos is the the thing that we've all been worried for. So, we're taking it back. That's story two. But, story three, the Pentagon isn't buying it. The Pentagon the government isn't buying this. They're saying they're saying that this is just a PR campaign. That this is just all talk. They're bluffing.
57:57The government says that this is You're just want to virtue signal like you're the best company, the one that's actually thinking about the future of humanity. The government says that this isn't even something that you have. This is all just smoke and mirrors. Well, that's kind of the same thing that the government says about everything that could crumble the way society looks at everything. UFOs, the Epstein files. You think of literally any conspiracy. The whole 9/11 thing. There's There's There's nothing where we have all of the the files immediately. It's not It's never transparent. It's always things that were redacted. It's all this and that. We we'd kind of be we'd kind of be naive not to at least look at the fact that this could be another This could be another story.
58:58This could be another angle. What if this is real? What if this is actually something that is possible? And whatever we see now behind closed doors, they're they're seeing the next version. And of course, they have to they have to open up to the government whatever. Maybe they just see what what OpenAI has going on because they're actually talking to the Department of Defense. Maybe then they're able to see the hell that's about to be unleashed. And when somebody like Anthropic comes out and says, "Hey, well, this is too bad. This is going to everything up. We have to pull this back." Well, that's that's going to make the alarm bells go off. That's going to make people say, "Hold on. You uh you're up. You're up my play. I'm I'm trying to say everything's okay. I'm trying to reassure this country. And now you're you're saying like this. These These are the same technologies that we're wanting to add to our Department of Defense.
59:56We're trying to add this into our wars. And you're trying to to what? Warn people that this is catastrophic? They don't need to know that. They don't need to know that. I think that you are telling them a little bit too much. I'm sure what? You want to You want to tell them tell them other too, huh? You want to just release all the Epstein files. You want to give them all the UFO files. You want us to to just show them the aliens that we have or some You just want us to just what? Trust them? Trust that they can handle it? You idiots. You idiots. You're the You're the dumbest smart people I know. You're smart enough to create this, but you're not smart enough to realize that they don't need to know how powerful it really is. How dangerous it really is. So now we're going to have to discredit you. We're going to have to act like this is just some PR campaign and they're just trying to hype it up. This is because, you know, they didn't want to work with us and, you know, this isn't really going to disrupt everything.
1:00:54Cuz um yeah, people would freak out. Think about how everybody bought up all the toilet paper when when COVID happened. And now, I swear to God, I I I feel like it was never a thing, but now it you can't even have if there's like a little ice storm or there's a thunderstorm coming. I'll go and all the paper towels and the toilet paper and the waters are gone. It's like, y'all are weird now. Anytime anything happens now, everybody's like, "Oh, I got to stock the up. I got to get everything. I got to make sure. I got to take everything, all the toilet paper." For some reason, that's the I mean, I guess that would be a luxury. Imagine if everything just stopped, like you never were able to go to the store again. That would be one of the first things that you think of. Like, "Damn, bro. I'm miss being able to just wipe my ass. That was nice. That was nice. So, maybe maybe this there's there's a little bit of something to that. But, Jesus Christ, the way that people respond the way that people are responding, it's getting worse and worse.
1:01:57I feel like I feel like before I feel like before you were we weren't we weren't hearing stories like this. You know what I mean? Like, it's not like this is the first time somebody's taking over in the industry or something like that. When when Netflix came around, you didn't you didn't see Movie Gallery employees and Blockbuster employees lining up the CEOs and sending shots and throwing Molotov cocktails. This isn't something that you saw. This is this is different. This This has been different, I guess, from the jump. So, trying to trying to keep the illusion going for as long as possible, it would be in the best interests of entities like the government. Even, honestly, these corporations.
1:02:55And and it can just maybe this is all just smoke and mirrors. Maybe this is just them trying to to virtue signal like they're the they're the ones that are actually conscious of of what they're putting out to the public. Maybe maybe. But, maybe maybe it's really worse than what we could imagine. What maybe they're already either at that point or close to the breaking point and Well, you don't you don't hurt sheep by introducing a disaster. That's not how you get them to calm down. And like it or not, that is exactly how we That's how we are ordered around. That's how we are talked to. We We've grown to accept that that's just how it is. That there's no changing that. People can even run on the fact that, you know, this isn't we're going to make sure that we're transparent and we're going to be different this time.
1:03:57We're not going to be like the the the ordinary politician. We won't be like everybody else and they're all the same. They're all the same. That's why if you're on a team, you already lost. If you think that anybody is going to come and save you, you already lost. If you just look at how they talk to us about everything. And maybe maybe it's just what they have to do. Maybe that's what happens when you're talking to a country. You have to talk to the lowest common denominator. You have to act like you're talking to the slowest person in the room. room. You want to make sure that they can keep up with you, but I um Yeah, like I said, I think it's it's in their best interest to keep this under wraps for as long as possible. And to to create something like Project Glass Wing where you have a community of of different corporations that are coming in they're able to use the software.
1:04:55I mean, it's just kind of like All right, so this is so bad that it would disrupt things, but you guys can use it. Maybe it's one of those things where it was just a oopsie. It was just a little a little leak. A little bit of a of an accident. You up and you you put out a version of this that was meant to be behind closed doors. It was supposed to be the the top secret version. It's not beta, it's working perfectly fine. Nothing's wrong with it. They just they weren't supposed to know. They meaning we. We meaning everybody. The average person. They weren't supposed to know about this. This was something that we were keeping to ourselves. And we had another version that we were already saying was the VIP version that nobody was supposed to know about and we were sharing that with the other Titans in the tech industry, but now that this has gotten out, well, they're going to know that we have something even more powerful.
1:06:03So, we're going to have to share it with other people now. We're going to have to let them in on this. And it is what it is. Someone is getting fired. I'll tell you that much. Whoever decided to to drop this, put out a press release, tell them that we're withdrawing it back just because it's too dangerous. Bring the boys in, we'll we'll show them everything. We'll just tell them that like we we're trying to work on it. I don't know. Just give them something. Give them something. Now, just let them believe. They really won't care. As long as now that they have access, it's not like they trusted us before. They knew we were holding back already. This just confirms what they already knew. And let's just let's just do the the polite thing and just just not mention it. Just act like it never happened. Show them all of our cards, at least the ones that we've exposed in this this horrendous up of a drop. And and yeah, we'll we'll just we'll take care of the backlash.
1:07:00We'll we'll we'll we'll clean this up. Maybe. Maybe. But people are going to in the meantime freak out worse and worse. Whether this is whether the government is just trying to act like it's just because they don't they don't want us to freak out. It's like, "Oh, calm down, guys. It's okay. It's okay." Just constantly codifying the entire entire population. Maybe it's that. And maybe maybe it's real. Maybe they're already at the point where they have Let's face it. It It's at the point where it is artificial general intelligence and it has the capabilities that can end everything. So hooray. Sleep sleep better at night knowing that. Sleep better at night knowing that there's no stopping it.
1:07:58You could You could try to get a Molotov cocktail, throw it at a gator or something. It's not going to work. It's not going to do anything. You can try to send shots. They're just going to replace them. It's not going to do anything. Why doesn't it just move on? Just accept the fact that your boss, your soon-to-be co-worker, um soon-to-be lover, your soon-to-be house cleaner, your everything. Your soon-to-be everything is going to be a robot. Just accept it. Move on. Move on. You don't You don't need your own life. You don't need to create anything. It will all be created for you. And you'll be happy. You'll be all right. None of this will be yours and you will be all right. Say it with me. I'm all right. And um with that, I want to say thank you. Praise be Trump Jesus. And good night.
