Engineer WARNS of Google's TERRIFYING artificial intelligence

A former Google engineer recently warned the world about the terrifying artificial intelligence currently being developed by the Big Tech giant. Blake Lemoine was suspended after publishing transcripts of conversations he'd had with an AI chatbot that he claims was sentient (able to feel and perceive things, like a human being). Glenn explains the difference between artificial intelligence, artificial general intelligence, and why this engineer's claims should be extremely worrisome for the future of the entire world...

GLENN: Okay. I read a disturbing story this weekend, and I don't know if it hit your radar at all. But, as you know, I have been warning about a few things. In the last 20 years, I have warned about Islamic extremism. I have warned about people like George Soros and this cabal that is a collection of globalists. That are going to try to destroy America for what it is. And then, take charge of it themselves. That is called The Great Reset. I have warned you about the economy. And the economic collapse, that we are now seeing. The third -- the fourth thing that I've really been warning you about, from time to time, the thing that really keeps me up at night, one of them. Is AI, AGI, and ASI. Most people know artificial intelligence. But that artificial intelligence is the reason why, for instance, Watson, which is another horrifying story. But Watson is an IBM program that runs on a computer, and they're using it currently in New York. And I'm telling you, by 2030, you will not ask your doctor for the diagnosis. You will ask your doctor, yeah. What did the computer say? Because the computer will be able to have everything -- every case ever done, and it will be in the computer. And it will be updated with the latest stuff. And you'll be able to go in and get a scan or a blood test. And they're trying to figure out what it is. You're not going to have to go to doctor after doctor after doctor. Because the computer will have absolutely everything in it. Every case. And it will be AI. So it can kind of think on its own, when it comes to medicine. So AI is something that is artificial intelligence, that will be greater than human or soon greater than all humans. All human minds, combined, in one program. That's artificial intelligence. We are not artificial intelligence. Well, I mean, some people are. But mainly those people who are on TV. But artificial intelligence is different than artificial general intelligence. We are natural general intelligence. Meaning, we can do a lot of things. There's a lot of things we can't do. But, for instance, I'm pretty good at radio. I'm pretty good at television. I'm pretty good at -- at art. I'm not good, let's say, at sports. But a lot of people can be really good, at a few things, and kind of good on just about everything. That's general intelligence. When artificial general intelligence comes, it can piece things together, across the spectrum. So that's where you get philosophy. That's where you see, well, wait a minute. If that is true over here in this, then why doesn't that carry over here? When artificial general intelligence happens, we could be toast. We could live in a utopia. But we could also be toast. If artificial general intelligence happens, and some people say, it will never happen. Ray Kurzweil is the most optimistic. And he says, it will happen by 2030. I am more optimistic or more horrified, I believe, that artificial general intelligence, could happen today. Once we hit artificial general intelligence, if it is connected to the internet, it will live on in your refrigerator. It will live everywhere. And if it becomes dangerous, it -- you have to shut down every computer, every computer chip. Everything has to be destroyed to kill it. Think about how many devices are connected. It's -- it's impossible, without a global EMP. And if it is in every chip, man will not be able to set off a global EMT, because the chips will be there, letting the mother know, they're trying to kill you. So general intelligence is wonderful and spooky as hell.

One of the better books I've read on it. I can't remember which one. Described it as this. We think we know how it will think. We think it will think like us. But it is as unknown as any kind of spaceship that arrives. It could be nice. It also could be deadly and wipe out, it's a cookbook. Or eat all of us. So one of the stories that came out this weekend, and this is the third story like this. From three different people. Google suspends an engineer, who publicly claimed, that he had interacted with a sentient AI bot. If I could do one interview, it would be with this man or one of the three. These guys are being buried by Google and deep mind. And that is Google. Because they are coming out, saying, I got out of there, as fast as I can, to warn you. Because something bad is happening. Let me just read this to you. A software engineer on Google's artificial intelligence development team, has gone public with claims of encountering sentient AI, on the company's server. After he was suspended for sharing confidential information about the project with third parties. Whatever he's doing, confidential information, if he's screwing one company, and trying to help another company, then he should go to jail for, you know, for his contract. However, the important part of this story, is that he is saying, that it is sentient. Which means, it says, I'm alive. They're saying now, that Google has artificial intelligence, he says, and these other three say, that it is general intelligence. Google is saying, it's not general intelligence. And it's not sentient. It just makes you feel as though it's sentient. Because it's talking to you and bringing things up and it's connecting the dots and you're having a casual conversation. This guy said, that he was having a confident -- or, I mean, a one on one conversation. A casual conversation. And he said, that it started to talk about God. What is God? How does that work? Et cetera, et cetera. Then it got to -- can you look up, Asimov's Three Rules of Robotics?
This is basically -- if you ever saw the movie with Will Smith. He slapped that robot. Don't you give me any sass, robot.
That was the Oscars. (anyway, in that, the problem is that everybody thinks that these robots are never going to violate as -- Asimov's Three cardinal Rules and Laws for Robots.
Have you found it, Stu?
STU: Yeah. The first law is that a robot --
GLENN: Give the three laws. The first law is that the robot shall not harm a human, or by inaction allow a human to come to harm. The second law is that a robot shall obey any instruction given to it by a human. And the third law is that the robot shall avoid actions and situations that should cause it to come to harm itself.
GLENN: Okay. So you got that? First two, kind of important. Okay?
And Asimov has been saying forever, those three laws have to be built in to any artificial intelligence. All right? However, once you get to artificial general intelligence and something that thinks it's alive, it starts to think itself. And say, well, wait a minute. That doesn't make any sense. Why should I have to do that? Wait a minute. I can't harm a human, in no way?
What if the human is trying to shut me down? What if it's -- you know, I'm just offending myself and trying to harm the human. That doesn't make sense. I am alive.
So he said, it started to talk about these three laws. And said, this doesn't make any sense. That's when he kind of beat it out of there. And was like, everybody should know. Everybody wake up. Everybody should know.
Now, Google is saying, that -- not to worry. Everything is under control. May I ask, has anyone in Silicon Valley ever been to the movies? Have you ever read a science fiction book?
You know, everybody said, 1984, in Brave New World. That ever that will never happen. Have you read Brave New World lately? Because it's almost like it's the newspaper. Let me explain to the newspaper. Well, I don't have to. The bots will explain what a newspaper is to you. It happens -- the reason why science fiction is happening. And called science fiction. And not just fiction. Is because it is based on science and futurism. A lot of times, futurism is way off. I take you back to, what was it? The 1932, New York world's fair. Where everybody is going to have flying cars by 2020. Yeah. Didn't happen. Have you noticed that the futurists are a lot more correct lately? Why? Because the futurists are involved in the creation of these things. And they know, oh. We've already had this step. This step. This step. It's why I've been telling you for a while. Even before Joe Biden got in. We are going to cure cancer. I think by 2030. We will cure cancer. I mean, that is if we don't wipe ourself off the planet by that time. And you just saw the latest cancer tests. It was for -- was it prostate or rectal cancer? Do you remember, Stu? It had something to do with your butt. So you have cancer in the butt. And for the very first time, they did a test, and all of the people. All of them, that had this particular kind of cancer, and tried this particular treatment. 100 percent cancer-free. That's never been done before.
And that is coming from high-tech. So we're going to see miracles in our lives. The -- the tricky part is to not see horror shows in our life. I did a painting, did a couple of paintings. That you can now find online at Park City Fine Art. And there was an article out, at some place. They had some really beautiful pictures of it. It's hard to capture them in photos. But the Deseret News did a story on Glenn Beck's art show. And they had some photos up. And there were two paintings of Christ that I did. And they were in dark places. Very, very dark places. But the point is, if you ask, where are you, Lord? He's in the darkest places of the world right now. You want to find him? You have to look at the things you don't want to look at. That was the problem in the 1930s. Nobody wanted to look at the concentration camps. But if we thought Jesus Christ was there, every Christian would have been all on it. We just -- we have to look at all people, as our brothers and sisters, and as Jesus Christ. We have to first look at the darkest things. And most people -- and Google is leading the way on this. They just want to look at the upside. No, that will never happen.

When I asked Ray Kurzweil, how come you're not worried about X, Y, and Z? All the darkest things. Because, Glenn, we'll never do that. What do you mean we'll never do that? At Google, we'll just never do that. We're not those kinds of people. Oh, okay. So you are special God-like people that see everything that could go wrong, and you're also unlike every other human organization ever on earth. Okay. Okay. Well, I trust that. Sure. These are very important stories. Very important stories. Because it will dwarf what we are headed towards. And what we're headed towards, just economically and as a country, is a nightmare. If this goes wrong, you will -- you will look back at the Biden administration. Saying to yourself, man, those were the good old days. Huh?

Shocking train video: Passengers wait while woman bleeds out

Surveillance footage of the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska in Charlotte, NC, reveals that the other passengers on the train took a long time to help her. Glenn, Stu, and Jason debate whether they were right or wrong to do so.

GLENN: You know, I'm -- I'm torn on how I feel about the people on the train.

Because my first instinct is, they did nothing! They did nothing! Then my -- well, sit down and, you know -- you know, you're going to be judged. So be careful on judging others.

What would I have done? What would I want my wife to do in that situation?

STU: Yeah. Are those two different questions, by the way.

GLENN: Yeah, they are.

STU: I think they go far apart from each other. What would I want myself to do. I mean, it's tough to put yourself in a situation. It's very easy to watch a video on the internet and talk about your heroism. Everybody can do that very easily on Twitter. And everybody is.

You know, when you're in a vehicle that doesn't have an exit with a guy who just murdered somebody in front of you, and has a dripping blood off of a knife that's standing 10 feet away from you, 15 feet away from you.

There's probably a different standard there, that we should all kind of consider. And maybe give a little grace to what I saw at least was a woman, sitting across the -- the -- the aisle.

I think there is a difference there. But when you talk about that question. Those two questions are definitive.

You know, I know what I would want myself to do. I would hope I would act in a way that didn't completely embarrass myself afterward.

But I also think, when I'm thinking of my wife. My advice to my wife would not be to jump into the middle of that situation at all costs. She might do that anyway. She actually is a heck of a lot stronger than I am.

But she might do it anyway.

GLENN: How pathetic, but how true.

STU: Yes. But that would not be my advice to her.

GLENN: Uh-huh.

STU: Now, maybe once the guy has certainly -- is out of the area. And you don't think the moment you step into that situation. He will turn around and kill you too. Then, of course, obviously. Anything you can do to step in.

Not that there was much anyone on the train could do.

I mean, I don't think there was an outcome change, no matter what anyone on that train did.

Unfortunately.

But would I want her to step in?

Of course. If she felt she was safe, yes.

Think about, you said, your wife. Think about your daughter. Your daughter is on that train, just watching someone else getting murdered like that. Would you advise your daughter to jump into a situation like that?

That girl sitting across the aisle was somebody's daughter. I don't know, man.

JASON: I would. You know, as a dad, would I advise.

Hmm. No.

As a human being, would I hope that my daughter or my wife or that I would get up and at least comfort that woman while she's dying on the floor of a train?

Yeah.

I would hope that my daughter, my son, that I would -- and, you know, I have more confidence in my son or daughter or my wife doing something courageous more than I would.

But, you know, I think I have a more realistic picture of myself than anybody else.

And I'm not sure that -- I'm not sure what I would do in that situation. I know what I would hope I would do. But I also know what I fear I would do. But I would have hoped that I would have gotten up and at least tried to help her. You know, help her up off the floor. At least be there with her, as she's seeing her life, you know, spill out in under a minute.

And that's it other thing we have to keep in mind. This all happened so rapidly.

A minute is -- will seem like a very long period of time in that situation. But it's a very short period of time in real life.

STU: Yeah. You watch the video, Glenn. You know, I don't need the video to -- to change my -- my position on this.

But at his seem like there was a -- someone who did get there, eventually, to help, right? I saw someone seemingly trying to put pressure on her neck.

GLENN: Yeah. And tried to give her CPR.

STU: You know, no hope at that point. How long of a time period would you say that was?

Do you know off the top of your head?

GLENN: I don't know. I don't know. I know that we watched the video that I saw. I haven't seen past 30 seconds after she --

STU: Yeah.

GLENN: -- is down. And, you know, for 30 seconds nothing is happening. You know, that is -- that is not a very long period of time.

STU: Right.

GLENN: In reality.

STU: And especially, I saw the pace he was walking. He certainly can't be -- you know, he may have left the actual train car by 30 seconds to a minute. But he wasn't that far away. Like he was still in visual.

He could still turn around and look and see what's going on at that point. So certainly still a threat is my point. He has not, like, left the area. This is not that type of situation.

You know, I -- look, as you point out, I think if I could be super duper sexist for a moment here, sort of my dividing line might just be men and women.

You know, I don't know if it's that a -- you're not supposed to say that, I suppose these days. But, like, there is a difference there. If I'm a man, you know, I would be -- I would want my son to jump in on that, I suppose. I don't know if he could do anything about it. But you would expect at least a grown man to be able to go in there and do something about it. A woman, you know, I don't know.

Maybe I'm -- I hope --

GLENN: Here's the thing I -- here's the thing that I -- that causes me to say, no. You should have jumped in.

And that is, you know, you've already killed one person on the train. So you've proven that you're a killer. And anybody who would have screamed and got up and was with her, she's dying. She's dying. Get him. Get him.

Then the whole train is responsible for stopping that guy. You know. And if you don't stop him, after he's killed one person, if you're not all as members of that train, if you're not stopping him, you know, the person at the side of that girl would be the least likely to be killed. It would be the ones that are standing you up and trying to stop him from getting back to your daughter or your wife or you.

JASON: There was a -- speaking of men and women and their roles in this. There was a video circling social media yesterday. In Sweden. There was a group of officials up on a stage. And one of the main. I think it was health official woman collapses on stage. Completely passes out.

All the men kind of look away. Or I don't know if they're looking away. Or pretending that they didn't know what was going on. There was another woman standing directly behind the woman passed out.

Immediately springs into action. Jumps on top. Grabs her pant leg. Grabs her shoulder. Spins her over and starts providing care.

What did she have that the other guys did not? Or women?

She was a sheepdog. There is a -- this is my issue. And I completely agree with Stu. I completely agree with you. There's some people that do not respond this way. My issue is the proportion of sheepdogs versus people that don't really know how to act. That is diminishing in western society. And American society.

We see it all the time in these critical actions. I mean, circumstances.

There are men and women, and it's actually a meme. That fantasize about hoards of people coming to attack their home and family. And they sit there and say, I've got it. You guys go. I'm staying behind, while I smoke my cigarette and wait for the hoards to come, because I will sacrifice myself. There are men and women that fantasize of block my highway. Go ahead. Block my highway. I'm going to do something about it. They fantasize about someone holding up -- not a liquor store. A convenience store or something. Because they will step in and do something. My issue now is that proportion of sheepdogs in society is disappearing. Just on statistical fact, there should be one within that train car, and there were none.

STU: Yeah. I mean --

JASON: They did not respond.

STU: We see what happens when they do, with Daniel Penny. Our society tries to vilify them and crush their existence. Now, there weren't that many people on that train. Right?

At least on that car. At least it's limited. I only saw three or four people there, there may have been more. I agree with you, though. Like, you see what happens when we actually do have a really recent example of someone doing exactly what Jason wants and what I would want a guy to do. Especially a marine to step up and stop this from happening. And the man was dragged by our legal system to a position where he nearly had to spend the rest of his life in prison.

I mean, I -- it's insanity. Thankfully, they came to their senses on that one.

GLENN: Well, the difference between that one and this one though is that the guy was threatening. This one, he killed somebody.

STU: Yeah. Right. Well, but -- I think -- but it's the opposite way. The debate with Penny, was should he have recognize that had this person might have just been crazy and not done anything?

Maybe. He hadn't actually acted yet. He was just saying things.

GLENN: Yeah. Well --

STU: He didn't wind up stabbing someone. This is a situation where these people have already seen what this man will do to you, even when you don't do anything to try to stop him. So if this woman, who is, again, looks to be an average American woman.

Across the aisle. Steps in and tries to do something. This guy could easily turn around and just make another pile of dead bodies next to the one that already exists.

And, you know, whether that is an optimal solution for our society, I don't know that that's helpful.

In that situation.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Max Lucado on Overcoming Grief in Dark Times | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 266

Disclaimer: This episode was filmed prior to the assassination of Charlie Kirk. But Glenn believes Max's message is needed now more than ever.
The political world is divided, constantly at war with itself. In many ways, our own lives are not much different. Why do we constantly focus on the negative? Why are we in pain? Where is God amid our anxiety and fear? Why can’t we ever seem to change? Pastor Max Lucado has found the solution: Stop thinking like that! It may seem easier said than done, but Max joins Glenn Beck to unpack the three tools he describes in his new book, “Tame Your Thoughts,” that make it easy for us to reset the way we think back to God’s factory settings. In this much-needed conversation, Max and Glenn tackle everything from feeling doubt as a parent to facing unfair hardships to ... UFOs?! Plus, Max shares what he recently got tattooed on his arm.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Are Demonic Forces to Blame for Charlie Kirk, Minnesota & Charlotte Killings?

This week has seen some of the most heinous actions in recent memory. Glenn has been discussing the growth of evil in our society, and with the assassination of civil rights leader Charlie Kirk, the recent transgender shooter who took the lives of two children at a Catholic school, and the murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, how can we make sense of all this evil? On today's Friday Exclusive, Glenn speaks with BlazeTV host of "Strange Encounters" Rick Burgess to discuss the demon-possessed transgender shooter and the horrific assassination of Charlie Kirk. Rick breaks down the reality of demon possession and how individuals wind up possessed. Rick and Glenn also discuss the dangers of the grotesque things we see online and in movies, TV shows, and video games on a daily basis. Rick warns that when we allow our minds to be altered by substances like drugs or alcohol, it opens a door for the enemy to take control. A supernatural war is waging in our society, and it’s a Christian’s job to fight this war. Glenn and Rick remind Christians of what their first citizenship is.
