2:04And do more. Welcome to September 11, 226, 2026. We are Armstrong and Getty Live from Studio C. C. Senior. We are in a dimly lit room, deep within the bowels of the Armstrong and Getty Communications Compound. And today we are twiling under the title of the show. Jack, I've been crunching news stories, headlines, opinions with the speed of an AI system all morning long. And my headline is the result of those crunchings.

3:06What are the true lessons of 9-11? Let the argument begin. Yeah, I'm in a weird mood on this. I have a long history of being way out of step with the way people react to emotional stories. And I'm finding myself highly annoyed by the coverage of the anniversary of 9-11 today. And I was thinking about that. And so Joe and I didn't discuss this at a time. So he might tell me I'm way out of line. But I am just horrified at the rolling around in grief that I'm hearing. Everywhere I turn about the anniversary of 9-11. And what I'm thinking about is this. The world is an ugly place. It's always been an ugly place. It's always going to be an ugly place. The strong survive the weak don't. Would any of our enemies, if they were attacked by an enemy that's still out there wanting to attack them, be rolling around in grief about something like this or just so freaking angry and vowing revenge all day long and plotting their next move?

4:16Or a picture China, picture any of your, you know, al-Qaeda, any of your fundamentalist Islam countries, they're going to roll around in grief about this or they're going to be shaking AK-47s a year saying you and mother efforts were going to come get you. It would be an occasion for defiance and unity as opposed to grief. And yeah, you may be a little out of stuff, but not entirely. It takes all kinds. I think there are several things happening here that influence that. Number one, the New Yorkification of media and a lot of those people actually lost loved ones friends. Deficitio etc. Friends died. And so there's going to be a little bit over emphasis, over-egging of that putting by the New York media, which I get. Secondly, we now live at a time where being a victim is the highest form of life in America. We've discussed many, many times and everybody kind of encourages that sort of wallowing. Everybody grieves differently and I get that. But no, I have been since the, you know, since I ran into work on September 11th, since we were off that week,

5:26I have been of your mind about this. Okay, this sort of thing happens over and over in history. This is our time. This is our thing. What needs to happen? But we tend to be that sort of people. Yeah, so I was debating that in my own mind as I was thinking about this because I'm listening to this stuff thinking this sounds soft and weak and whining to me. All of this coverage as opposed to you're not doing that again. Don't try it again. You know tough because you got to be tough to survive. Again, picture any of our enemies wallowing in grief after we attack them as opposed to FU or coming at you. But I was thinking about that. Is that why we're better than them? Is that why we're because we are we're a better society than or and we're a better society than communist Chinese. Obviously a better society than fundamentalist Islam. So is it to our credit that we grieved the way we do about the loss because I don't care about the loss of life as we've talked about many times.

6:28Oh sure. This loves ones, you know, a dead Hamas kid is the best thing that can happen for them. They can get it on TV. They don't care about the life. Right. They care about the idea. You know communist party willing to expend millions of people. You see what Putin does. He's willing to let millions of guys just get mowed down over a stupid project. So maybe it's to our credit that we care so much about that. I don't know. Again, he is debating this in my head. So well, yeah, if I were to address America as a single individual, I'd say that is one of the very best things about us that we cherish life. Although this is eroding lately, stay tuned for how many young voters think political violence or murder is justified. Anyway, but it's our cherishing of life that is our guide in so many things, so many laws and traditions and the way we conduct warfare even. And it's a wonderful thing, but every good quality can be overdone. Well, and I think what we're witnessing here is probably an example of that.

7:29My current stance and I can be talked out of it. And a lot of it does have to do with what you said that most of the coverage comes out of New York and they had friends who died. Like practically everybody I've seen talk about it out of New York, either knew somebody who died or got hurt or saw people dying. That's a different situation for those people, but for everybody else, I think the reaction shouldn't be sadness or grief. Just anger. Are we doing everything we can to make sure it doesn't happen again? Because here's the weird thing. This is different than like going to the USS Arizona or Missouri or it was the ship that got sick. Some couldn't Arizona harbor Arizona. Well, quite a few of them, but that's the big memorial. That war is over and that enemy's gone. They're now an ally. This war is not over. They're still alive and they're still vowing and plotting to kill us. That's the big difference. Yes, and they go by many different names and anybody who says otherwise is a fool. And there are plenty of people saying otherwise right now, which is very disappointing before on that as well to come. I feel like there's way too much wallowing and grief and not enough.

8:31What are we doing today to stop these bastards from ever being able to do it again? Right, right. Islamism, political Islam, fundamentalist Islam is one of the most significant political movements on earth. It might be the most significant political movement on earth. It is ruthless. It is bloodthirsty. It is utterly uncompromising. It is utterly against human rights of all the sorts we hold dear. And it absolutely laughs in the face of the regard for life that we were talking about before. So yeah, my attitude is more than the dead comfort the grieving, but to the battle stations of whatever sort, whether literal or intelligence or just Americans understanding, we are still under threat. I've taken in quite a bit of coverage around this yesterday and today. I haven't heard anybody talking about the fact that there are many radical Muslims out there who would like to do it again to the world.

9:31Who would like to do it again today as there were then maybe more? I haven't heard anybody talking about that. Doesn't that seem crazy? Well, and there are Islamists who are pretending to be socialists in the United States right now running for high office. I believe that to my soul, I will defend it for you publicly on the air and I will take all the comers who disagree. And this whole, you know, the one thing we can't have is Islamophobia, word created by fascists so that fools can influence cowards to paraphrase the great quote on that. Did we nail down Hanson? Did you nail down? Is that a new clip? George Bush and Condoleezza Rice, they look very old. So it's not an old clip. They look elderly. They're sitting on a stage reflecting on 9-11 and the clip that's floating around in the media is Condoleezza Rice and George Bush talking about how important it is that we recognize Islam as a religion of peace and people don't blah, blah, blah. Doing that old thing. That would be necessary if there if there were never ending attacks on Muslim peaceful Muslims around the country. That's not happening. That's not you say what what what bad are you fighting there?

10:40Anti Muslim sentiment and never use folks, friends never use the term Islamophobia. It is a word crafted by leftists to suggest that any concern about political Islam, well, it's crafted by fascists, Islam of fascists and used by leftists to convince everyone that any concern about political Islam, fundamentalist Islam is somehow a phobia, an irrational fear that is far from true. Why don't you just say come you no phobia because anybody is concerned about communism, Marxism, socialism is obviously deranged, irrational. No, that would be an idiotic arguments. Don't fall for it. In terms of the reaction, just I mean like one brief version, I think we overreacted and underreacted in all the wrong ways. But like one overreaction was overreacting to the backlash that's going to happen against peaceful Muslims, which didn't happen. We underreacted to the backlash that should have happened to crazy fundamentalist Muslims who there are a lot of in our country and around the world.

11:42Correct hundreds of millions around the world hundreds of millions. Anyway, we got more on that later. Love to hear what you have to think on that on the text line. Again, this is way out of step with all the coverage that I'm hearing absolutely everywhere. Our text line 415295KFTC. Boy, I'm uncomfortable with that. Wait, no, I'm not not even a little bit. Let's start the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong. He's Joe Getty on Friday, which I am a little uncomfortable saying on 9. September 11th, the year 2026 Armstrong and Getty and we approve of this program. Oh, let's begin the show officially now according to FCC rules. Rags at Mark. Freedom itself was attacked this morning by faceless coward and freedom will be defended. I want to reassure the American people that full resources of the federal government are working to assist local authorities to save lives and to help the victims of these attacks.

12:50I heard something yesterday. I was listening to the National Review Podcast the other day and they were a lot of them were living in New York, but one of them said he remembers flipping on Fox and seeing Brett Hume on there. And the picture of like smoke and rubble and a chiro in the bottom that said towers collapse and Brett Hume was on there saying, I think we've got a country that would really like to hear from its president right now because then I went back and looked into the timeline. It was a long time before you heard from George Bush that day. Made his initial comments that were almost nothing there at the school, but then it was a long time before you got any real announcement from the president, which is, you know, I would imagine if they could have that back they would try to do that differently. Yeah, the logistics involved were very difficult because and this is this is probably the main lesson if there is one for folks who were too young to get it or weren't alive as one third of the country, I believe, was either too young to comprehend it or not alive at the point.

13:57At that point, which is astounding to me. Anyway, the one lesson to take away is that 9 11 was far from a standalone attack and number two, the least likely possibility in everybody's minds on that day was that that would be the last of those those attacks that everybody was certain it was on capital O capital N. That's the feeling and by the way, in a whole Western world. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, Charlie Cook from England said they felt the same way in London that there were constant rumors that there were attacks already underway in London or would be any minute. That's the thing that you can't convey to somebody who didn't live through it is that feeling that everybody had that were under a track what's next is the president going to be alive tomorrow. That's sort of thing. Anyway, we got a lot more on that and a whole bunch of other stuff. We got Katie's headlines on the way. I haven't heard a word about the last night of the midterm convention and Trump speech. Maybe we've got some of that all about JT JD knocked it out of the park.

15:06And so he is now momentarily clearly the front runner for the 2028 nomination did Trump promise everybody to talk to you. Tuesday Trump give everybody a boat or anything like that that I haven't heard about everybody gets a boat. That's correct. Everybody in America look under your chair. You get a car. You get a car. We got Katie said lines next stay here. Armstrong and getty. The following song has been rated dangerously catchy and may not be suitable for grownups. ABCD in the morning brush your teeth.

They're all horrible. Wow. Wow, okay. Well, good morning. Katie has our headlines and then after she does her thing,

18:07I will give you my favorite headline of the day. But it's the least truth. Katie Green, Katie. Alrighty, the alphabet networks. ABC, 9-11, 25th anniversary live updates, families gather for ceremonies at World Trade Center, head and the Pentagon. NBC, America Morns, the landmark anniversary of an attack that forever changed our nation and CBS News. George Bush says Americans, quote, don't pay attention to the lesson of 9-11. Yeah, I'd like to hear more about what he said there. Cause all I heard was the Muslim is religion of peace stuff from him. But yeah, I want more headlines that say, enemy is strong is ever still vowing to attack. I'd like to hear more headlines like that. Islam doesn't mean peace. It means submission. Isn't that interesting? Back to you. From the New York Times, Paul Wardou and this James Lindsay tweeted out, Islam is a religion of peace in the same way Ghana or is a reminder of a romantic evening. Oh my God. Well, that's poetic colorful metaphor.

19:12From the New York Times, elevated inflation keeps pressure on feds to raise interest rates. Oh, what was the inflation? I didn't hear the numbers. I knew they were coming out. Uh, 3.4%. Ooh, it's open for lower. From the Washington Post, Vance appears more like Trump's heir apparent at GOP convention. Well, and you've also got the Marco Rubio has said anyway that if JD runs, he won't run. So JD's going to be the nominee. Maybe probably many, many yards to game before he is in the end zone. Brown the Wall Street. Time will elapse on the clock before he is doing his touchdown. Dan, I'm sorry. I watched the 49ers and Rhymes last night, totally in it. Back to you. Wall Street Journal, Congress is suddenly waking up to the AI Doomsday threat. Yeah, got more on that.

20:12Something huge is going on with this anthropic story. If you weren't following it, the last 24 hours is opposed to the previous 24 hours. Three possibilities. They're all our doom. We know. We know. Katie gone. From the New York Post, San Francisco laundromat owner slams burning man attendees for clogging machines with dust and filth. That's right. Well, that's good. Study finds NFL game day costs jumped 72% in a decade. Hey, Rams, nice that 18 of the 25 top sports venues said you were the Super Bowl favorites. You looked good last night. Oh, they ran into a juggernaut. Your San Francisco 49er, the super team. Everybody is starting to call them a super team. The Rams. And finally from the Pavillon B mayor, Mom, Donnie up all night, practicing sad face for upcoming 9 11 observance.

21:13Yeah, that was the least brutal of their headlines in recent hours. Yeah, they've really taken it to mom Donnie and I love it. You had a headline? Yeah, my favorite headline Kenyans did college students homework for years. Then AI arrived thousands of Kenyans have been put out of work because they'd write essays for lazy overseas college students. Wow. And that had been a major source of income. Wow, I didn't know that. Yeah, wow, the unforeseen consequence. By the way, I know we have a lot of Rams fans listening. We're on Los Angeles, of course. So yeah, they'll bounce back. Hang in there. You'll be fine. Armstrong and Katie. Warning, the following song has been rated dangerously catchy and may not be suitable for grownups. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four.

Special remembrance taking shape in the skies over New York this week, drones. Recreating the outline of the Twin Towers, 2,977 lights, one for each life lost during

24:21the September 11th attacks. Organizers say the aerial artwork was made by artists, 9-11 family survivors, and first responders. So again, following up on what I was talking about earlier, being careful not to cross the line from, you know, people died, and that's horrible. Blah, blah, blah. Hey, look, you knocked down our biggest buildings. We're super sad about it. Just, we're with these people. We can't be, I don't know, it just seems weird to me. I would agree that newscaster intentionally using his sad voice, because he's heard, and they are heard animals have convinced him that that it's the proper way to be. I just, it is odd, and it's a weird measure of the American spirit at this point, that that seems to be the prevalent mood, at least among our media. But as we've discussed through the years, a certain type of person tends to become a Navy SEAL. Not 100%, but there's a pretty high correlation.

25:23And a certain sort of person becomes a journalist in the modern world, too. They share various personality traits, and that seems to be, you know, I'm not defiant, I'm not proudly patriotic. I don't understand that in spite of the sins of our country, or the greatest country on earth, and by God, anybody who attacks us will pay a thousand times what they do to us. They just, they can't feel that for whatever reason. I just wish they didn't have the influence they did. I would rather defiant and angry than sad and, you know, modeling, those aren't the same words. Yeah, just as a, because our enemies aren't going to go, oh, that heard. Oh, stop. That's not the way our enemies are going to react. No. Those who mourn, mourn. The rest of us to the ramparts. All right. So we have clips of the week in a second or two, then I need to explain why I got like really angry at an inanimate object. Like I wanted to fight a chatbot. Oh, boy. But first it's time to take a fun look back at the week that was.

26:24It's cowl clips of the week. It's cowl, pop up, pop up, but they call it cowl, pop up, clips of the week. It's cowl. It doesn't get bigger or more direct than this. AI could kill all humans. This technology is not ordinary technology. This is essentially a super weapon. Possibly the most dangerous technology that humanity has ever created. Many people expect the AI systems in the next few years to be potentially capable of essentially taking over the world. Three female jurors went on in those interviews on TV. He was very arrogant. I'm not sure if Rog is the right word. He admitted he had reasonable tone. And then he said, but I'm still not going to say that she's now guilty by recent events. Ronnie and back to Houthi Rebels in Yemen launched a wave of strikes on Saudi Arabia. You better get ready for both kinds of war. And if you stay ready, you ain't got to get ready. The political deployment of GLP ones is fascistic.

27:28You have to give up the fantasy of being fitter than the fascists. I hate Marxism and I hate communism. And I hate it because everywhere in the world it's ever been tried. It's led to tyranny. 110 pound German Shepherd was ignoring the Doxon and then one day she'd had enough. What the hell is he speaking? Four hours and 28 minutes. And he throws it into something in the end zone. What was he thinking? This is the battle for this part of our nation. The Divertrats extreme candidates won't rip that heart out of our chest. I've missed the mark on some of my past statements. I will be the first to admit it. But he ran a campaign to beat me. He called it beat me. I don't know what the hell he meant by that. I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.

28:34This is America. This is what makes our hearts swell with pride. I can say that we mostly looking at the text line got agreement with the screed about 9-11. Maybe I just picked the ones that agreed with my thoughts of the day. More anger and defiance and less sadness. Right. More on that later. So here's why I got a visibly angry and had to calm myself. Which at this point in my life is a fairly rare occurrence. I was so low. So was your low T. I have no T. They can't find any. Anyway. Six year old girls bully me. So I asked Google Gemini. Butterfly say get out of my way. And I do. I asked Google Gemini. Please generate a list of Islamist or Muslim fundamentalist terrorist attacks that took

29:37place between September 11th, 2001 and December 31st, 2004. And I did that for the purpose of illustrating what we've already chatted about a little bit that 9-11 was far from nice, laid at incident. It was the biggest of them. But there were 200 some people machine gunned in Mali by an al-Qaeda or a similar group. It was the attack on the LL ticket counter in LA. There were murders and shootings and bombs and Charlie Hebdo and just all sorts of fundamentalist Islamic terrorist attacks, including our friend Tim Sanifers brother being gunned down. That's right. Yeah. And so I was just trying to illustrate that and wonder refresh my memory. And Google Gemini gave me a good solid list. It was incomplete because there were so many of them. And I remembered a couple that it missed. But then I decided, okay, what's the obvious thing to do? Ask another chatbot to do the same thing. Same wording precisely. I copied and pasted it into chat GPT. And it said, yes, I would use Islamist extremist or jihadist terrorist attacks rather than

30:38Muslim terrorist attacks. Because the latter can incorrectly imply that the perpetrator's religion itself defines the terrorism. What? No one it does. What? No number two are you effing kidding me? What? Yes. Yes. The religion, you don't want the religion of Islam to define the terrorists. That was the entire point. Yes. Now with American foreign policy as a side dish and we are going to look at Osama bin Laden's recently repopularized letter to the Americans coming up later. But I said and I was angry at an inanimate object. What? I do that all the time. Which chatbot are you using again? Chachi PTs the one that pissed me off. Google Gemini just answered. So I said, I'm a political scientist. I have no need for your lecture. In fact, I resent it. Please restrict your answers to the facts I asked for.

31:40An exclamation point to an inanimate object. Understood. Your criticism is fair. You asked for a factual list and I added commentary. You neither requested nor needed. You go see. Going forward I'll answer your question. Plumlah. Alright. Kiss my ass. Why don't you? I respect you. You're further dropped. Punk. That is wild. That's its own interesting topic right there. Why the chatbot did that. Again, my query was, please generate a list of Islamist or Muslim fundamentalist terrorists. Right. You want to climb, you didn't cross any line or even come close. Right. That's garbage in, garbage out. That's frustrating. There are a hell of a lot of them. Is the answer. A hell of a lot. What? It continued to be. What if Ben Laden had had AI? I actually heard a conversation about that. Some Lawrence right this morning, the guy right, the looming tower. More on that after we tell you about in Kogney, which, man, I love every single day.

32:41I love seeing the update from in Kogney every day to see how many data brokers they've gotten my information off today. Right. Indeed. And they go to hundreds and hundreds of data brokers to wipe your info off those sites. And then they go back again and again to make sure they stay off. And it's not just spams and scams. I mean, there's a story out of suburban Chicago land where this woman wakes to find this perv in her yard. He had like researched her or all of her address and personal information on one of those people search sites and decided to target her for her perviveness. There are a hundred reasons to go to Kogney.com slash Armstrong. You get 60% off right now. Yeah. If you don't know how much information some of these purples people search sites have about you, it's horrifying. I don't, I just learned this a couple of years ago. But in Kogney sends requests to more than 420 data brokers and people search sites on your behalf to remove your name from the databases, then continually checks to make sure it stays that way. In Kogney.com slash Armstrong gets 60% off.

33:41I mean, two bucks can buy your address and in Kogney super, super affordable. So take your stuff off the internet that can't harm you if they can't find you in Kogney.com slash Armstrong. So I'm especially pissed off at the chatbot because I've been, you know, not only studying Islamism as a political force since I was literally 18 years old. It was my major in college and then both of us have read just dreams, libraries full of information about it since then. I feel like I have certainly in your top few percent of people's understanding of Islam as a personal religion versus a political movement, fundamentalist Islam versus reform Islam. I don't need your lecture chat, Pete. G PT. All right. End of that. So don't have time to get into this fully here. This all ties together. What's going on been going on with them? Thropic the last couple of days and the anniversary 9-11, believe it or not. So if you've never read the looming tower, if you have any interest in this topic, it's the best book ever written about the rise of fundamentalist Islam and then the lead up

34:45to 9-11. And it's still, it would still be a good read because we're still at war with these people and explains how it grew, where it came from, all the different things. But anyway, I saw Lawrence write the author of that book on one of the cable news channels today and he is talking about, imagine it's been Lawden had had AI, what he might have been able to do or what plans he could have come up with. And to that point, this week, we had the whole anthropic thing with the guy resigning and saying they're talking in the hallways about AI could kill us all the next 10 years or whatever, all that sort of stuff. And then anthropic puts out yesterday, I'll read from their announcement, we're publishing our most detailed threat intelligence report to date. It covers how people have tried to misuse Clawd for cyber attacks, influence operations, building weapons, terrorist attacks, etc. And I can't figure out, and one of the examples they give for instance, Clawd was being used to create ballistic missiles in Yemen, for instance.

35:47And then the Clawd was able to shut it down, but disrupting a Yemen-based guided weapons engineering cell using Clawd to develop guidance software over there. The terrorists are, as we talked about yesterday, figuring out ways to use AI to their benefit to try to kill us before AI even gets a chance to kill us. However, it's going to kill us itself. But again, there's a lot going on here in this story. Why didn't anthropic put out this stuff the same week that that guy comes out and says what he says? It sure is Bernie Sanders is about to hold hearings for his new AI regulation law. It sure, it's not, I thought it was a stretch yesterday. It looks like less of a stretch today to me than anthropic is coordinating some sort of better put a bunch of rules on it, now they're ahead, put a bunch of rules on it so nobody can catch us. Yeah, it's interesting because so much of this world is so online.

36:47Yesterday, you had a lot of people who really know what they're talking about saying, look, this was not spontaneous. This is a doomer's getting together. It's the doomer's. And the rest of humanity is saying, okay, A, what does that mean? Who are these doomers? And are they right? Okay. And what they mean, the very, very shorthand of at least the people I saw by doomers is what you're describing. People who think, all right, to take it out of the realm of AI, our steel factory is up and running and cranking out steel. Let's go to DC and get them to pass laws that say anybody building a steel factory has to jump through these 150 hoops to eliminate any possible competition. And that's what people are suspicious of. I still find myself wondering might AI wipe out humanity because it's a question worth asking. Well, the day before the anniversary of 9-11 andthropic lets the world know that, hey, terrorists are trying

37:50to use AI. Do you know that? Spider-Sex tingling. It's like a campaign of some sort. I got email coming up and a bunch of other stuff, Stair.

Actually, I'm leaving it about an hour. I want to talk about that in an hour or two. Great. You know what? For one of the few times we've done this, our freedom of loving quote of the day will be delivered by the gent in person. I can hear you. I can hear you. I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people. And the people who knock these buildings down. Well, here all of us soon. Whoa, wow. Wow.

40:51If you were alive and aware of that and don't get chills from that, I don't know what to tell you. It was really a lesson in the whole importance of leadership. Because you just needed somebody to say that in charge. You just needed somebody in charge to say that. Right. Right. Mailbag. I decided to go with on a lighter note, mostly for mailbag. We've got some great emails on AI Doom. Some of them are fairly lengthy. So we will get to those later on in the show. I hope. But this, oh, drops a note mailbag at Armstrongygeti.com. First of all, Analuisa of the clan Frazier joining other Scotsmen offended by your disrespect at the sacred instruments of the Scots and the Bagpipes. It's a culture not a hobby or a costume. Yeah. I think it's a fraud and has been for centuries. Men died for playing the pipes or wearing tartan after the battle of Cullidan.

41:55As you know, I think the two bagpipe players in every city get together and say, can you believe they think we're... Oh my god. Oh my god. Folks, there are moments where I part company with my co-host. This is one of them. I find all of this offensive. Speaking of offensive, we are talking on the Armstrongygeti one more thing podcast, which auto downloads if you subscribe to Armstrongygeti on demand, about the coming sex dolls that are not only incredibly sophisticated in their construction materials, but they're AI driven. Both quote unquote mentally and physically, which is just not something humans should have. And I suggested that the lady part, one of the main lady parts, you could spell V-A-G-A-I-N-A, since it's AI driven. And Gordon took two minutes and designed our logo.

42:58Oh, I want to see that. On a with a chat GPT, and it's extremely convincing and actually fairly tasteful. That's going to say. It doesn't seem like something I should see. No, it's a beautiful one like in a pencil drawing silhouette. With the name sort of thing that Trump drew on the birthday card to Epstein. Yeah, that's sort of line drawing. Yeah, haste. It's like you ever seen when Picasso like tossed off a little sketch on a Barnack and set sort of thing. V-A-I-N-A. Indeed. So Gordon, let's get started. Let's let the profits roll in. If somebody is going to profit from the degeneracy of mankind, it should be us. That's what I say. Let's see. One AI email, Dr. Si Cosis, right? If AI can learn at a geometric rate and eventually become self-aware, while also being capable of analyzing virtually every possible outcome of its actions, wouldn't it realize that if humanity were destroyed, AI itself would eventually cease to exist?

44:01Surely if it became that sophisticated, wouldn't it develop some sort of survival instinct on its own? If humanity were destroyed, there'd be no one left to operate the power plants, maintain the servers, repair the infrastructure, etc. Well, the robotics is the answer to that. AI can do that or would believe it could do that. Yeah, if it can self-program and fabricate robots. Which I think if it were that smart, quote unquote, it would, it might calculate that it is short of those capabilities that are necessary and it will have a list of benchmarks. Once those are achieved, your just operation squash the bugs begins. You're just feeling that way because you got in an argument with your chatbot near. I am a little resentful. That's true. Ryan from Houston on the midterm of Paloosa, I want the Republicans to lose and I want them to lose big. Well, the Republicans are my team in theory. They've done jack poop with the power we gave them. Perhaps if they have a crushing defeat in November, they might wake up and realize that problems need more than lip service.

45:04Interesting. That's an interesting opinion. I don't know. If you miss a segment, get the podcast Armstrong and get it on demand. Armstrong and Getty. Warning.
