	We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in.
	Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want.
	We think too much and feel too little.
	More than machinery, we need humanity.
	We know the air is unfit to breathe and our food is unfit to eat, as if that's the way it's supposed to be.
	We know things are bad, worse than bad.
	They're crazy. Silence!
	The great and powerful Oz knows why you have come.
	You've got to say, I'm a human being!
	God damn it! My life has value!
	You have meddled with the primal forces of nature!
	Don't give yourselves to brutes, men who despise you, enslave you, who regiment your lives, tell you what to do, what to think, or what to feel, who drill you, diet you, treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder!
	Don't give yourselves to these unnatural men.
	Machine men with machine minds and machine hearts.
	Yeah, thank you.
	You're beautiful.
	I love you.
	Yes.
	You're beautiful.
	Thank you.
	It's showtime.
	And now, Reality Rant with Jason Burmess.
	And who loves you?
	And who do you love?
	Good morning!
	Good morning!
	It is Reality Rants, I am Jason Bermas, presented by Red Voice Media.
	And we got another one of those shows today that I think is...
	Completely and totally relevant.
	Something you're not going to see anywhere else.
	Not on mainstream media, of course, but even alternative media.
	And that's why, before we get to Homo et Makina 2018 DARPA presentation that we're going to do a watch along with, that if I... If I didn't tell you it's not a parody, you would think, is this real?
	This is so weird and corny and it's so blasé for the subject matter they're talking about in this directed evolution of a species of humanity merging with machines at the mind level.
	You think, wow, this guy's playing it pretty straight laced.
	Is this some kind of a comedy bit?
	It's not. At all.
	Not even a little bit.
	Before I get there, there's a few stories I want to hit.
	I've got another down-the-line video presentation for you guys.
	I like doing that because it's so much different than what you see or hear, even in the alternative.
	And look, there's some alternative media out there that I absolutely love.
	I think it's essential. I may not agree with all the time, but I think it's great that it's there.
	For instance... Scrolling through my ads feed on Twitter.
	Okay, and I'll be honest. I don't use a lot of social media, especially on my phone.
	There's no Instagram for Jason Vermes.
	I don't put Facebook on my phone.
	All the alternative stuff, sorry.
	Maybe I check out some YouTube comments, but Twitter's it.
	And I see Jimmy Dore.
	We're talking about 9-11 and the Bush administration.
	And somebody who's kind of come on the scene as one of these next big thing, internet influencer, commentator guys, Jackson Hinkle.
	I don't know a lot about him.
	I know that there are people that I've done interviews with that like him, don't like him, have talked to him behind the scenes, etc.
	I don't know much about him. In this segment, he's pretty good.
	But they're finally talking about 9-11 and Building 7 and Foreknowledge 20 plus years later.
	And that's great. That's great.
	I'm happy about that.
	But I got news for you folks.
	You're not watching the next big thing.
	I'm not the next big thing.
	I'm not the next guy that's talking about everything that you're seeing in this like culture war that's being presented.
	I think that's important. And I actually saw a clip of Tim Pool the other day.
	Again, I don't watch Tim that much.
	I'm very happy he had me on the show.
	Every once in a while, I'm in the short feed.
	I don't watch a lot of the long-form stuff, unless they have a really interesting guest that I'm curious on how they're all going to interact with that person.
	But it was just like a 90-second clip, and it was to give advice to other people that are in this arena.
	And when I say this arena, I mean the virtual space as a commentator, as a presenter, as a podcaster.
	Everything's podcasting now.
	Didn't always used to be.
	And he basically said, and I thought that this was actually profound and important, to do your own thing and report on events the way you want to and what interests you, okay?
	And stay away from constantly talking about other people who do the same thing, right?
	And that's damn well correct to me.
	And what do I mean by that?
	Well... We don't really comment on a lot of the other influencers or people in this space.
	And we certainly don't run full pieces criticizing them.
	When I say we, I hate it in the third person.
	But I don't do that.
	It's not something I've done over the years.
	Now, if I've taken a position that is constantly being parroted at me in that person in the alternative feed, that it's almost like mainstream, and I feel like there's no correct take, yeah, I'll take that subject on.
	But we don't run a series of programs blasting this person for believing this or that person for believing that.
	And I see that shit at the top of some of these other people's feeds that are constantly being promoted in my audience.
	So my audience is like, why don't you ever mention this person?
	And I've seen their stuff, and I've seen them get things right, and I've seen them get things wrong.
	There's a common thread.
	But then they're always attacking people.
	When I see people attack James Corbett or Whitney Webb, I think to myself, well, you're on the suspect list.
	You want to criticize or disagree?
	Great. I want open discussion.
	James and I have done an entire broadcast together where we agreed on a lot, but we disagreed on other things, and that was okay.
	And that guy's at the forefront.
	He's a true maverick.
	He's what you, in my opinion, you want to espouse to be if you are in this arena, are in this field, and that is you're true to yourself, you study at length the subject matter that interests you, and then you present it to people.
	I think it's a great model.
	It's what we try to do here.
	Are you not edutained?
	You know, there has to be an aspect where you can also keep an audience.
	And We're talking about criticizing people in the arena.
	One of the big things that I hear constantly, okay, this person's a shill or they're a fed, right?
	And they do this all the time with Alex Jones.
	And as far as I know, Alex is not a fed.
	There was never ever, when I had personal interactions with him now well over a decade ago, Never got a Fed vibe.
	Ever. That's not what I felt he was doing.
	Did I think Alex got it right all the time?
	No. In fact, go watch Alex and I having our reunion back in February of 2020, just before the COVID-1984 nightmare.
	When I'm challenging Rob Dew on video about the coverage of Syria and Assange and the OPCW documents, okay?
	Those are the internal chemical warfare documents where the UN sent in a team for Duma.
	And they were like, hey, I don't think there was a chemical attack here.
	You know? He gasses his own people!
	Assad's a bad man!
	He gasses his own people!
	And we'll just send missiles in.
	Yeah, I don't know about that whole chemical attack thing.
	I don't know about an attack at all.
	And then they put the report out.
	All that's censored. And it's through these WikiLeaks.
	WikiLeaks was running strong.
	That's why Assange is so important.
	That's why we focus on Assange.
	We talked about Assange yesterday.
	Still a big deal. Again, when no one else will, I do.
	Because it's important.
	When that's not the feature of the day, when that's not the hot story at the top, doesn't matter.
	We're doing it here. Okay?
	So, I was like, you know, these were internal emails put out there by WikiLeaks.
	You guys are doing a free speech event.
	And this was really along the lines for Roger Stone while they were trying to put him in prison.
	Okay? And I don't know that Assange would have been discussed.
	Now, were there some people there speaking that maybe I wasn't a big fan of?
	Aren't they? Yep. Yup.
	So what? So anyway, as I and Rob are having that discussion, video's up, anybody can go watch it.
	Jones crashes it.
	We got a back and forth going.
	Rob Dew even says, this reminds me of you guys back in the day in the hallways.
	Yeah! Yeah.
	And maybe Jason Bourbon sometimes doesn't play nice with others either, guys.
	Maybe he's got a strong personality and he's a stubborn son of a bitch also.
	I've got to keep that in mind.
	I get things wrong. I ain't perfect.
	Right? You've got to have self-awareness and reflection.
	Right? You've got to be able to look back on things and say, okay, not perfect.
	That doesn't mean I was wrong all the time either.
	Alright? But have some humility.
	So, again, we're going to get into DARPA. It's a two-hour program.
	It's called Reality Rants.
	We're going on a bit of a rant here.
	I want to address a couple other things in that media space as well that I think also are extremely important.
	You know, there are people over there in Rockfin right now that are upset that I'm even doing this show for Red Voice Media because the second half is behind a paywall if you want to visually watch it.
	Now, if you just want to listen to it, free right away, live.
	We're trying to make it into a call-in show.
	I need you guys to support that as well.
	That's another way to support the broadcast, by the way, without doing it financially, is to get on Podbean.
	Get the app. Follow me there.
	Heart it there. Share it there in the RSS feeds.
	And join the party live.
	Call in. And then after the fact, you can send that out as well.
	It's immediately available.
	But people have to understand how the economy works.
	And how people make livings.
	I am extremely blessed.
	There's no doubt. I am extremely blessed for what I do.
	To make a living at it.
	I know this. And I know that the vast majority of my audience also gets it because my audience starts at like 24 to like well into people's 60s.
	I don't have, you know, it's Zoomers, right?
	It's Generation Z at this point.
	It's the Zers. It's not even Millennials.
	I don't really have much of a Millennial audience either.
	I'll be real with you. It's Gen X strong.
	Maybe the tail end of the millennials.
	Kind of watch it. But the boomers seem to watch Jason Burmus too.
	Old man Burmus here.
	43. Okay.
	So... This is how the economy works.
	Somebody pays you to do something and you do it.
	Now, I don't know about you guys, but I've had a lot of jobs with a lot of freedoms.
	Very lucky in that sense, too.
	Because I have taken jobs that...
	At one level, you're doing exactly what you're told all the time and you're doing it well.
	But then you do it so well that you are then promoted to the person that's telling other people what to do.
	It happened throughout my lifetime at just about every job I was at.
	I've never been fired from anything, by the way, guys.
	Okay? I just want to put that out there.
	I'm not trying to brag, but I've either quit my job or done my commitment.
	It's something that was instilled in me very young, not even, I would say, from my parental units, but from the fact that I wanted to be independent all the time.
	There's a lot with nature versus nurture I was going to talk about, but I think it's important that when you're working for someone, you show up.
	Now, I have never, ever, ever, ever had a gig.
	Like, out of the gates.
	Anywhere. Like Red Voice Media.
	And that includes InfoWars, which I eventually got.
	And I'm not saying that InfoWars, by any means, censored me.
	But let's weigh it out.
	You know, InfoWars was on the radio at the time.
	Still is on the radio. Still had advertisements, right?
	That were outside of promoting just InfoWars, like I promote Red Voice.
	I don't even have any commercial breaks right now.
	I'm hoping that's going to change.
	Because I want to reach more people on the radio.
	But right now I have a carte blanche to say and do as I please.
	I have a trust from somebody and I got to get Ray on the show.
	Maybe if Ray can do it next week, I'd love to get him on for a good hour so everybody
	could meet Ray.
	Because this is somebody who I literally talked to for a couple hours.
	I started doing a once a week show here, which was already behind premium guys, by the way.
	One of the first things I said to that guy, which I think is extremely important too,
	you know, I'm here for the information and not the money.
	Eventually, I want people to see this stuff no matter what.
	Can we get a window where, yeah, it's behind premium, but then everybody gets it afterwards.
	And he thought that was a great idea.
	Those are the type of people you want to work with.
	It's like, it's not just about money, it's about getting it out.
	So, two weeks after, anyway, everything's available at Red Voice Media.
	And I take some of those clips, and I can't take them all, by the way, guys, because I can't put them on YouTube.
	I do take some that are now exclusive to Rockfin as well as Red Voice after the two weeks, because it just, it can't happen on YouTube.
	I wish it could happen on YouTube.
	It can't happen on YouTube.
	I don't even want to play this Peter McCullough clip.
	We're probably going to do that in the second hour.
	Where he's talking about DARPA and their pandemic preparedness program.
	Adept. All the things I talk about.
	But he talks a little bit too much with the V-word.
	And maybe says some things Jason Bermas can't say.
	So we're going to have to wait and play that.
	It sucks. But it's all available at Red Voice after the fact.
	Period. And for those that are saying, you know, Jason, I already pay a premium at Rockfin.
	Well, you get the whole package at Rockfin.
	I never put things behind premium in the past, right?
	And by the way, if you go over there, everything except for yesterday's broadcast is free.
	I make everything free there too because I want people to come over to Alternatives.
	And there are still extra broadcasts.
	Mixed Marshall Mindset is one of them.
	I know we're doing less, but that's the next thing I'm going to talk about.
	It may seem like I'm doing less.
	Guys, yesterday I did four hours.
	Four hours. All right?
	I did this show. I think I dropped out about 145, so maybe a little under four.
	I then did a guest spot on Making Sense of the Madness, American Media Periscope, another great organization.
	Let's me say what I want, talk about what I want.
	I don't have to worship Elon Musk.
	It's great. Did that for an hour, and then I went on Timothy Shea's show.
	I gotta get Timothy on the broadcast too, on TNT Radio.
	I can only hear myself talk for four hours.
	And by the way, I don't go into this blind.
	I don't set my alarm for 15 minutes before, scratch my nuts, get on, throw on the blue hat, and we're going.
	I got a whole show prepared.
	It's a little bit of a job, but it's a job I love.
	It's a job I'd be doing anyway, and talking about anyway.
	Whether I was flipping pizzas, or at a bar, or at my MSP, soul-crushing company, at a desk and a computer, you're getting Jason Burmis.
	And you're not getting...
	Even what's being talked in the alternative all the time.
	So I'm blessed to be with Red Voice.
	I love it.
	I hope people can understand that.
	And I think it's a bargain that for $100 for the year, if you really love it, and hopefully you do because we're doing it big and we want to support it.
	I want to grow this show. A hundred bucks for the year, just this show alone, hopefully it's worth it.
	We're doing it four days a week.
	You know, I'm getting texts from Ray that the producers here want time off, and that's great.
	I'm not much of a time off guy.
	I do have to start taking a little bit more time off, but especially with the four days, the three days for me now is more than enough to decompress.
	And like I said, I usually end up throwing in videos there as well.
	Didn't do it so much last weekend because I had Chris Don T. Harris of The Rundown.
	Over at the house for like a day and a half.
	And it was a fight day on Saturday.
	That's one of the things I love.
	Look, I talk about this too.
	There's a balance in your life.
	You've got to be aware. You've got to navigate.
	You've got to take action.
	But that doesn't mean that's 24-7 all-encompassing.
	How would you sleep at night?
	I toss and turn enough. Especially with the subject matter I cover.
	Symbiosos homo et makina.
	That's where we're going with this.
	So, that's a pretty fresh rant for everybody.
	143 watching over on YouTube.
	Can we get 100 thumbs up?
	Let's do it. I want to hit these stories real quick.
	And then we're going to do this watch-along.
	And I got so many...
	Man, we won't even hit the...
	We probably won't even get to this 1970 piece.
	The Case for Population Control with Paul Elric.
	I mean... If you thought that sustainability limits a growth UN thing was wild, this one starts off with like kids floating around and this mother who had five kids and now she regrets it and some dude at a table talking about family planning and population control and just laying it all out.
	You know, it didn't have that easing language that they use today.
	Won't even get to that. I got a lot of Google and quantum computing and quantum supremacy because all of this integrates together.
	This is the fourth industrial revolution in action.
	And part of that is the scam of cyber attacks.
	And here's the deal.
	Whenever one of these things happens, you'll never know who actually did it.
	There's all sorts of proxy networks.
	We know this. It could be bad actors working within intelligence agencies or private groups that are essentially formed by former agents from these groups, if that, and then they can disguise that attack as anything from anywhere.
	This is what people need to start asking themselves.
	Why in the world are the major grid lines not hard-lined right there and must have on-site control with no access to the internet via these systems outside?
	Seriously, you don't think they could have that done?
	You have an internal...
	First of all, that's how intelligence networks work.
	Alright? That's how their data systems actually work.
	There is no access from the outside ever.
	Ever. Now why wouldn't we do that with our power grids?
	Because it's designed for failure and attack and chaos.
	The predator class hates you.
	They're wargaming this constantly and now they're beta testing it.
	Five electricity substations in Oregon and Washington are attacked just days after two in North Carolina were shot up, causing widespread power outages.
	Now, these were actually shot up, which is crazy, okay?
	But what have we been talking about?
	These cyber attacks, all right?
	And now we're having arson and firearms in these attacks as well, in case the infrastructure is there.
	It's pretty nuts. Attacked and threatened.
	Our food processing plants going up in flames all over.
	Everything that we've been warned about by the mouthpiece of the globalists, the Davos crowd, the Klaus Nutschwabs, not everybody can be a robot polisher.
	Those people of the world are talking about this stuff and now it's happening.
	Weird. Weird.
	Just so odd.
	You know? This may be some good news.
	We'll see. I mean, again, how great is it?
	We're 50 years past.
	Almost 60, really.
	Pretty wild. Thousands more secret JFK files, including dozens, looking at Lee Harvey Oswald and the CIA. I'm sorry, CIA. Let's have a little coffee right there.
	Finish up that morning brew.
	Are set to be released next week after President Biden delayed making them public.
	We discussed that.
	There's still 15,000 plus files.
	I may have to do a whole broadcast on Warren C. DeBru, who I believe was Oswald's handler in the FBI. He was also following Oswald as he went to Dallas.
	He was there in New Orleans.
	He's the guy that headed up the initial 48-hour investigation into JFK's murder and the initial 800-page document that no one talks about.
	So, maybe we need to do that show.
	That's all I'm saying. Glad to see this in the news.
	We'll see what kind of documents we get.
	Okay? We'll see what kind of documents we get.
	I felt so ashamed Prince Harry reveals in a Netflix documentary how wearing Nazi fancy dress costume was biggest mistake of my life and meeting with Chief Rabbi afterwards had a profound impact.
	Now, for those that forget, Harry literally rocked the Nazi symbol.
	And here's a little something I wanted to say about that.
	And then we are going to get into...
	Homo et maquina.
	The future.
	Yay! Homo et maquina.
	I don't think that anybody, no matter what instance, what set of circumstances they're born into...
	Can be inherently good or evil.
	In other words, I don't think there is a genetic infrastructure to the morality of an individual, etc.
	I don't think that's a real thing.
	I do think that genetically there are certain things encoded in us via human beings and our ancestors, for sure.
	That's a whole other level.
	What I'm trying to say here is whether you're a peasant, a pauper, middle class, or even born into royalty, you're still a human being.
	And you don't necessarily take to the environment around you.
	On the strata of this, I like to put this one, again, nature versus nurture.
	You have instances, more than not, where nurture, in other words the environment around them, is really what molds humans and causes them to either succeed and exceed expectations or be prepared for failure and become part of the system or even turn to a life of crime.
	That's the vast majority of cases, but...
	You also have people that have the best parents in the world that are given a strong sense of morality.
	And for one reason or another, nature takes over that nurture and they still do something that's just deplorable.
	Now, I don't know how that's inbuilt, but I don't think that everything is nurture.
	But I think most things are.
	And I think that when you had this kid...
	Amongst literal vipers within the royal family.
	You've got the murder of his mother, in my opinion.
	And you've got a lot going on.
	And you've got a family that actually is rooted in the Nazi history in many ways.
	I'm interested...
	In seeing that interview myself.
	At the same time, you know, this is a Netflix show.
	It's television. Who knows how many takes they took and what was really said and his images being, you know, carefully curated, especially right now when his father is now the king.
	He's the king!
	I had to hear for the first time the God Save the King rendition.
	It was enough that I had to hear God Save the Queen every time I watched a boxing match out in the UK. And that's exactly what it was.
	It was a boxing match out in the UK. Huge, by the way.
	Tyson Fury, Chisora 3.
	They did it out in a soccer stadium.
	Like 50,000, 60,000 people outside.
	They love that Sweet Caroline bullshit.
	Bop, bop, bop.
	But then, God save the king.
	It's 2022, and we're still doing ritualistic bullshit for royalty and bloodlines.
	Yikes. Yikes.
	Alright, we're done with ranting.
	We're about 26 minutes into the broadcast.
	Again, at the top of the hour, I got the skills to pay the bills.
	I'm very lucky. I didn't just fall into this.
	Like I said, I'm not the next big thing, guys.
	I've been doing this now. For, you know, a decade and a half plus.
	Closer to 20 years, believe it or not.
	I'm very blessed to do it.
	So, redvoicemedia.com slash Jason.
	Sign up. You get the first week for a dollar.
	One dollar. Okay?
	And then it's ten bucks a month or jump on in for, you know, a hundred.
	And let me say this, you know, again to the Rockfin crew.
	Because I love y'all. How many people are watching over on Rockfin right now?
	24 people. Great.
	I'm glad to have you. You're the hardcores.
	You're really there. Don't think that I didn't pitch this same exact thing over and over and over and over and over again to Rockfin.
	I did. I pitched a two-hour morning show.
	Where we would do the same thing that we're doing here, bring everybody over to Rockfin, okay, and have the first hour uncensored.
	And then, even after that, which Red Voice I hope that we jump on, is we find somebody else to do a follow-up hour once a week.
	So in other words, they wouldn't have to do it.
	It wouldn't be one show every weekday.
	But you find four other broadcasters, and they're doing the follow-up hour of whatever show they do.
	And then on Friday, you can basically do a best-of of the whole week for three hours.
	That was always my pitch.
	You've got to put up or shut up.
	I love them to death, but if you don't want to pay me for my services, are my services not worth anything?
	Again, you also have to have some self-worth.
	Richard Andrew Grove is really good at describing that.
	So, somehow, someway, again, Red Voice Media saw that I had this commitment.
	It's the real deal.
	People are willing to come over.
	It is edutainment that you're not getting anywhere else.
	And they did it. They pulled the trigger.
	I'm very happy they did that.
	So I've also seen some of the comments and the websites may be a little sloppy.
	You can't find what you like.
	We're going to work on it all.
	I promise you. I promise you.
	I want to bring you A-grade broadcasting.
	And I also want to bring you Homo at Makina.
	So Look, I'm just going to let this play.
	This is not a joke.
	This is a real thing.
	This is the type of productions internally DARPA puts together for their own staff and then into the public arena to calmly acclimate you to your cyborg virtual future.
	You can't make it up. This is 2018.
	Here we go. Symbiosis.
	Homo et Makina. The first director of my office at DARPA was J.C.R. Licklider, who said in 1960, human brains and computing machines will be coupled together very tightly, and the resulting partnership will think as no human brain has ever thought.
	I see my talk today as a progress report on the human-machine symbiosis or symbiosis homo et machina as envisioned by Licklider.
	Modern humans belong to the genus Homo.
	And over the centuries, thinkers have posited a number of names for the species.
	Ludens, the player.
	Socius, the social being.
	Sapiens, the wise or knowing one.
	Faber, the toolmaker.
	Religiosus, the religious one.
	Arguments can be made for each one of these names, but Homo sapiens has long been recognized as the way we talk about ourselves.
	Sapiens captures the essence of homo sapiens.
	Sapiens captures the essence of homo sapiens.
	Again, you're watching this and you're thinking to yourself, come on, Jay, this isn't real, right?
	I mean, this is it.
	This is how calmly in an NPR voice they are preparing you for transhumanism.
	This piece is now almost five years old.
	It's almost five years old.
	I'm just going to let them continue.
	Because, you know, you look at this, and where is the discussion amongst the general populace on whether any of this is a good thing?
	That the directed evolution of the species by the military-industrial complex is going to go well for the common folk.
	Sapience is a hierarchy spanning data to wisdom, where data is the raw material of the sensory experience of the world around us.
	Information is the facts derived from data, the who, what, where, when.
	Knowledge is how these facts relate to each other.
	Understanding addresses the human need for explanation, and wisdom is sound judgment leading to actions to achieve desired goals.
	In the beginning, humans handled all tasks across the data wisdom spectrum.
	With the advent of machines, we recognized how they could help us do things faster, better, cheaper than by ourselves.
	We started with machines performing low-level data and information processing tasks, freeing humans to concentrate on higher-level endeavors involving knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.
	The movie, The Imitation Game, actually provides a very great example of a machine being able to perform a data processing function beyond the ability of humans.
	For those of you who haven't seen the movie, it focuses on the noted British scientist Alan Turing, who during World War II successfully built a computer to crack the German code machine Enigma.
	Unlike his colleagues, Turing saw clearly the futility of trying to break the code by hand and instead concentrated on constructing a computer to help.
	So I'm sure he's going to go over this, but Turing is so infamous that the Turing test is one in which an AI can fool a human for a certain allotted period of time, and really it's overall, as to the human being believing that they are also human or sentient.
	And you've had the Google AI whistleblower, the one that's into Chaos Magic and Aleister Crowley, come out.
	And there's another interview I need to see and say that they already have this at Google.
	I do have two pieces that I may or may not be able to play.
	Maybe we'll play them in the second hour.
	Depends on how we go. I ranted here on Reality Rants for a good 30 minutes before this.
	Where they go over their quantum supremacy and even their partnership with NASA. NASA, DARPA, Google.
	It's all the same deal.
	Lockheed Martin. I say help because the computer could not do it all alone.
	Only the human members of the team could provide the insight on a critical common characteristic to each encrypted message which gave a critical clue on how to decode these messages.
	Now, we've come a long way since the 1940s and Turing's computer, built from bulky electromechanical relays.
	The chart here is an expression of Moore's Law, which shows the exponential increase, or logarithmic increase, in the cost efficiencies for processing, memory, and hard disk storage.
	If we look at the blue dots for processing cost efficiency, we see that we've gone from about a trillion dollars per million instructions per second in the 1940s, essentially an impossible task, to a dollar per million instructions per second in the 2000s.
	And when you look at this, my best example again are the magic devices.
	Right? Because it's not only just like this magic device that does things a PC even 20 years ago could not do.
	You could video edit in high definition on these things.
	You know how hard it was for me to even try to video edit back in the day on my Athlon 2 with standard definition footage?
	That's an AMD reference.
	And then You had not only hard drives, right, that are about this size.
	In case of fact, I got a hard drive right here.
	It's a laptop one.
	This is a smaller one than the desktops.
	That's what they were sliding in.
	To down to hard drives that size being able to be this.
	And now hard drives that size right here.
	Right here. Let me put that right there for you.
	It's literally a fingernail size.
	See that? Fingernail size.
	And that should show you right there how the nanoization of technology and that curve is very real.
	Now we have to utilize this and have in many cases to empower humanity.
	It certainly has empowered myself with cheap storage everywhere to record anywhere that I would like.
	And store just about anything on these devices, maybe not forever, but for extremely long periods of time where I can transfer them so that they could be quote-unquote eternal.
	And to me that's important because that's documentation after the fact.
	And a lot of this stuff is private.
	I don't do the cloud and I don't do that on purpose because I don't want them running their algorithms on me.
	That's just me. So let's get back to Homo et Machina.
	This 12 order of magnitude jump, or trillion-fold increase, in processing cost efficiency over six decades continues to drive the explosion of information technologies around us today.
	This exponential growth in cost efficiencies has played a critical role in making it possible for machines to advance further up the data wisdom ladder.
	One important rung on this ladder is the knowledge of driving, as expressed in self-driving vehicles using a form of artificial intelligence known as machine learning.
	And by the way, one of the clips, again, we'll see where we go, but I have this 5G technology video that in a lot of ways is promoting propaganda.
	They're giving you the idea that 5G is for your phone.
	It's for your phone. It's not for your phone.
	Nothing to do with your phone.
	Grow up. Grow up.
	It's to what?
	Automate as much as possible wirelessly.
	To have a network where the self-driving cars he's talking about overtake the system as they outlaw your autonomy and Or price you out along the way.
	They'll do both. How are they going to outlaw my autonomy, Jason?
	Well, you'll have to have certain devices in your car.
	Your car will have to meet certain emissions standards.
	Track trace database on steroids.
	Kill switch on steroids.
	Geo positioning on steroids.
	Let's get back to this rather NPR sounding gentleman and homo et makina.
	Three DARPA events, Grand Challenges 1 and 2, and the Urban Challenge, held over 10 years ago during 2004 to 2007, played very pivotal roles in accelerating the development of self-driving vehicles using machine learning.
	The progress from challenge to challenge was truly spectacular.
	In the first challenge, no self-driving vehicle got further than a few miles and had some mishaps that we see here on the left image.
	But a little more than a year later in the second Grand Challenge, five self-driving vehicles finished a very challenging 132-mile course in the Nevada desert.
	And the winner is shown here from Stanford in the center.
	And finally, in the Urban Challenge, six self-driving vehicles completed a complex 60-mile urban course that included traffic for the first time.
	And this was not only traffic between the self-driving vehicles themselves, as shown on the right, but also traffic provided by Hollywood stunt drivers in leased vehicles.
	So what I want people to understand about here is this is 2018.
	They're showing you challenges that DARPA funded, and they're bringing in a lot of the private sector.
	That's how they do it. But it's all military-industrial-complex-driven.
	So now, you're in a situation where I'm watching Tesla.
	And yes, I watched the Neuralink presentation.
	But yes, I also watched the OptimusBot presentation.
	And the OptimusBot and its movements...
	And its brain, as they say, is based on self-driving technology that Tesla is doing.
	And where do you think Tesla's technology comes from?
	DARPA-driven science and programs.
	These things are integrated, okay?
	Trojan horse civilian systems.
	A way to make these into consumer devices.
	But, in reality, pioneered behind the scenes via black projects and programs underground.
	Well, there's been a lot of progress in self-driving vehicles since 2007.
	And today we have Google's self-driving car, among others.
	Many of the individuals who are leading efforts today to develop self-driving vehicles competed in the DARPA challenges more than 10 years ago.
	Two well-known commercial applications of machine learning are voice recognition on the left, featuring Siri, and face recognition by cameras on the right.
	Siri actually is the direct result of major investment by DARPA in AI over 10 years ago through a program called Personalized Assistant That Learns, or PAL. Now, recognition...
	Did you hear that?
	So again, these people openly discuss...
	That your voice assistant, Suri, is military industrial complex technology.
	I was looking over in the comments here and somebody was talking about SmartDust.
	SmartDust has been around two decades.
	It's discussed in that NASA strategic warfare document.
	It was beta tested during the war of terror in Afghanistan.
	It's documented thoroughly in First Platoon, the Annie Jacobson book.
	It's not imagination land.
	Alright, they already have nano-sized invisible networks that are aerosolized.
	Last years.
	It's real. Based on machine learning is not foolproof.
	Here the computer is wrong in describing the image of the child.
	The boy is not holding a baseball bat.
	Individual correctness is critical in certain situations, such as whether that person running towards you is carrying a weapon or perhaps something much more benign.
	Now, the Department of Defense often finds itself in those types of situations.
	Machine learning based on deep neural networks for image classification is vulnerable to small perturbations of the physical object in question.
	And, you know, this is a lot of the technology that has you check certain bots.
	Are you a robot? Right?
	And you've got to find the palm trees or the ones with bikes or the ones that have the signs or the ones with a certain number and letter combination.
	Those type of checks.
	Because, again, machines can be fooled.
	And that's something we have to constantly acknowledge.
	In essence, no matter whether or not we bring them into the biomimetics world, are programmable and basically do what they are told by what?
	Human beings.
	For example, we show here that stickers placed in particular positions on a real stop sign can result in the image classifier misinterpreting the stop sign as a 45 mile per hour speed limit.
	This misinterpretation persists even as the vehicle approaches the stop sign.
	Instead of braking, the vehicle could accelerate with potentially disastrous consequences.
	So, the two prior charts really highlight the important question of trust in the machine.
	This includes trust in the data, trust in the software, trust in the devices and systems that run the software.
	I will now describe a few programs from my office that really address this multifaceted challenge of trust.
	I wonder if he trusts the science that he's working on.
	Just trust. Consumer imaging products such as smartphones have become ubiquitous and it is estimated that about two billion images and videos are uploaded daily to social media.
	Now, at the same time, a growing proportion of this visual media has been manipulated.
	Now, many manipulations are benign, done for fun or for artistic value, but some are for adversarial purposes such as propaganda or disinformation campaigns.
	The forensic tools used today to detect manipulation lack scalability and robustness and addressed only a few aspects of media authentication.
	A complete end-to-end system for automated forensic analysis does not exist.
	So we started the media forensics program, or metaphor, to level this playing field which currently favors the image manipulator by developing technologies for the automated assessment of the integrity of images and videos.
	These technologies include the detection of pixel-level inconsistencies as really shown here in the two images on this chart.
	And by the way, basically what he's talking about is when you do photo manipulation, I've been doing Photoshop for 20 years, you're going to have a lot of inconsistencies on the micro levels of resolution, unless they're all on the same resolution.
	Things like pixelization or film grain, if you're working with that material.
	Those are the types of things you look for as a person with software, right?
	You zoom in, you change contrast levels, gamma levels, color levels, etc., etc., and those are ways to find it.
	He's talking about running software to figure this stuff up without anybody, without any human beings via AI. In some instances, it's certainly getting tougher with video and deepfakes.
	And then re-compressing those deepfakes.
	But I'm going to let him finish up here.
	This is all taking us into man merging with machine.
	We have a program called Brandeis that seeks to enable safe and predictable sharing of data in which privacy is preserved.
	Lewis Brandeis is the inspiration for the name of the program and Lewis was a former Supreme Court Justice as well as the writer of a seminal paper on the right to privacy.
	The program is developing the technical means to protect the private and proprietary information of individuals and enterprises.
	Bullshit! The vision of the program is to A, maintain privacy, and B, tap the huge value of data.
	And really, rather than trying to strike some balance between these two, we seek a third option as shown in the chart, where data can be shared safely and predictably while preserving privacy.
	If you think that they're going to do that, it's ridiculous.
	Even in the chart, it says unprotected data right there.
	This is the internet of things.
	This is eventually the internet of bodies.
	These are the mind files that they will collect because it's not just the immense amount of data and what you're posting via social media.
	It's how you post it, when you post it, what you didn't post, how many selfies you took to post one.
	All that stuff is being run algorithmically.
	And then when you talk about unprotected data in general, we don't talk about audio content recognition or ACR. We need to.
	You know what? We're going to do it live. Show people that this is an imagination land.
	And this is the type of metadata that's constantly being collected.
	So I'll type in ACR and Alfonso.
	And there it is. Okay, this is the ACR software.
	Oh wow, they got the new 2022. This is in everything.
	Anything that has a microphone or a GPS system.
	So they have a different system of audio and they have video content recognition too.
	So if somehow, someway, there's some reason that access to that is done outside of a nation state actor, they have that.
	Okay? Here we go.
	So this was a 2017 story.
	It tracks verified TV and ad audiences in real time.
	This is how you get those ads in real time.
	They focused on smartphones when this story broke, and I focused on Alfonso.
	In fact, let's see if we can find the video.
	I know I have it somewhere in there, but let's just type ACR Alfonso videos.
	Nothing? Come on.
	Google. Google.
	ACR, Alfonso.
	Let's try DuckDuckGo. Let's see if DuckDuckGo will give me a video.
	I mean, this guy basically brags in real time.
	Hopefully nothing dirty.
	There he is. This is the CEO. It only has 600 views.
	This isn't something... This is me.
	You know what? Good for them.
	Good for them. This is...
	This is me on YouTube via We Are Change.
	How long ago? We'll go to that other video right there.
	But, yeah, this is me right here.
	Look, it's a young scamp.
	Maybe we'll play this. I don't think Luke would be upset.
	Look at that young scamp.
	That young man right there.
	How old is this?
	Four years ago. God, I looked so much younger and better than I. People who say I never...
	I never age. Take a look at this video right here.
	I age plenty. So here's me talking about Alfonso.
	VRchange.org.
	And if you've ever had that funny feeling that your smartphone was spying on you and your family, you would be 100% correct.
	Now, the majority of us realize that we do give up some semblance of privacy when we take on these smart devices, but the extent of which has nowhere near been exposed.
	And what we're about to go over today is really just a small sampling of what is going on.
	Now the majority of you out there will not be familiar with a software called Alfonso that rides along more than 250 games in the various app stores between Google and Apple.
	This app is able to access and does access your microphone even when the app is turned off.
	Through ACR, or Automatic Content Recognition, our ACR is embedded in all kinds of mobile apps that people use in the living room.
	Social media apps, gaming apps, news apps, a variety of them.
	And what are they supposedly looking for?
	Well, they're supposedly looking for ad information to sell to companies to see what you watch on television.
	We collect viewership data on a second-by-second basis.
	From more devices in more households than any other company that measures TV advertising.
	Every time a show or an ad is aired, it is indexed by Alfonso using very sophisticated machine learning and computer vision to accurately identify all the information that's important Now again, a lot of these are children's games, so they're literally spying on your child's TV habits.
	On top of that, when this information is accessed, it's also cross-referenced with your location.
	Yes, your GPS service that's always on, and even some of the movies and other entertainment that you watch.
	So again, this can be used in a big data sense for companies to better advertise to their consumers.
	Now, of course, it doesn't stop with games.
	There are over a thousand apps that contain this software, and it can even detect when your phone is in your pocket and not in use.
	However, in my opinion, this is really just a small sampling of the amount of Big Brother technology that's out there and being used in our smart devices, whether it be our televisions, our phones, or even our tablets and laptops.
	Many people are aware that the Vault 7 data dump showed that our smart TVs were indeed spying on us on behalf of the MSA. Could your TV be spying on you?
	If you've got an internet-connected TV, that might be possible.
	Secret documents show how the CIA have turned TVs into bugging devices, giving the capability a code name, Weeping Angel, named, it seems, after characters in the Doctor Who TV series.
	And Vizio, earlier this year, paid out $2.2 million because it was illegally taking customer information, aka the entertainment they were watching, and selling it to big data companies without their permission.
	It's a popular TV brand and one of the world's largest manufacturers of internet-connected smart TVs.
	And now the Irvine-based company Vizio is accused of spying on its customers, secretly collecting information while you watch and selling it.
	It wasn't just your viewing habits.
	They were combining all of this with all sorts of other information about you.
	Household income, sex, marital status.
	A really invasive picture was being put together.
	Of course, this practice is only going to get more and more pervasive.
	And if we are not careful, we will have no semblance of privacy whatsoever in our day-to-day lives.
	As always, if you like this video, BOOM! Look at that.
	A young Jason Burmus right there.
	Four years ago.
	Tell me I'm not... Look at these grays now, huh?
	Look at that. I got a little...
	I'm popping a little gray, but now it's like in the beard.
	You know? I'm doing this...
	That was obviously not shot right in the morning.
	But, there it is. Who else talked about Alfonso then?
	Yeah, people got into the story.
	No one else showed you that video where he's telling you in real time, this is it, where they're telling you that Weeping Angel is the codename for the CIA spying on you through your smart television and other devices.
	Come on, man. So this guy telling you that they're going to be benevolent with that information via DARPA as you merge with machines, homo et makina, it's a bad joke.
	It's a bad joke, bro.
	About five more minutes in the free version of the broadcast.
	Remember, you can come over, you can listen to all this, but you don't get to see this dude's face as he presents it in a very monotone voice.
	And he's got the presentation behind him.
	Over at theinfowarrior.podbean.com.
	But you know it. We want you to come over video style.
	Support Jason Bermas.
	Sign up at redvoicemedia.com slash Jason.
	Come on. Don't just do the one week and give it a go.
	You know we're going to be here four days a week, 8 a.m.
	to 10 a.m.
	Eastern Standard Time.
	You know, that's 7 to 9 for me.
	I'm up at 5 a.m.
	Let's get the thumbs up just for that, guys.
	All right. Let's get back to Homo and Makina in these final minutes, and then we're going to bring it over to Premium.
	The potential impact of this program is tremendous.
	Assured data privacy would potentially help open the door to personal medicine.
	Never going to happen. Is one notable example.
	And by the way, I'm licking his lips.
	That's what I'm talking about, that Internet of Bodies.
	This is 2018. We played the Ram 2021 clip.
	I might actually even be in 2022.
	Talking about that Internet of Bodies.
	Ooh, they want to get under the skin so bad.
	We would like to acquire software in a manner similar to the way we do most of the things.
	Consider the purchase of an umbrella.
	I go to a store.
	I select a few umbrellas.
	I open and close them to check them out.
	I like the navy blue umbrella with white reflective trim, but I notice there's a hole in the fabric.
	Well, I ask for another because I don't want a leaky umbrella.
	And one is brought to me without defects rather quickly.
	Well, now imagine if I was told that all umbrellas made by that manufacturer leak, but in a week I'll get a patch that I can repair the leak.
	And furthermore, there'll be future leaks requiring new patches.
	Well, I would guess that most of you would find this totally unacceptable and go look for umbrellas made by a different manufacturer.
	Unfortunately, all, and I emphasize all software, already comes with defects or vulnerabilities, and we accept a continual cycle of patching.
	We want to stop and get away from this paradigm.
	And toward that end, we have a couple of programs using formal methods to ensure that software is built as specified, that it is correct by construction.
	Software that does what it's specified to do and nothing else helps tremendously in hardening the software against cyber attack.
	We are developing tools and technologies for code construction, using formal methods for embedded software such as that in the mission computer for a helicopter.
	And in this particular case, we hardened using formal methods the operating system and two control modules.
	We then left unprotected the software for the camera module, gave this unprotected software to a red team, and then challenged them to break out of that module into the rest of the system.
	Now, we had proven using formal methods that one cannot break out, and indeed the red team could not do so, certainly upholding the power of mathematics.
	So the real question is, does quantum mechanics change any of that?
	Because he's telling you that softwares inherently have what?
	Defects built into them.
	Even when you've got Elon Musk or nuts out there selling you on Neuralink, he's telling you planned obsolescence is going to be built in and that they have to constantly be upgraded.
	There's always boost in.
	Alright? But now he's telling you that they were able to build an enclosed system.
	Bringing it back to the beginning of the broadcast, or the semi-beginning of the broadcast, why then are we so worried about these cyber attacks on infrastructure and energy plants?
	Why isn't that in a closed system that is inaccessible otherwise?
	That has to be on site.
	So none of these things could ever happen.
	That's what you would do if you didn't want them to happen, as this guy's already telling you.
	Now for those of you who are familiar with formal methods, you are aware of the fact that it's difficult to scale these methods to larger and more complex software programs.
	We have a program called Cyber Assured Systems Engineering, which really looks to overcome this challenge through the composability of formally verified software modules.
	Well, despite our best efforts at hardening software, these attackers do get in, and so we use automation to engage them in machine time rather than human time.
	One program that epitomizes this approach is the Cyber Grand Challenge, with the objective of automating what human hacker teams do in DEFCON's Capture the Flag competition.
	I want to leave it on that, because I think that's extremely ironic and important.
	The irony that they're automating out hackers and cyber security individuals through AI should alarm everybody that even in the programming field, many of you will be automated out of the very IA you helped create.
	Mind blown! Edutainment!
	Jason Bermas, Reality Rants.
	Alright guys, we've done one hour.
	I'm going to give a A nod to the crew that we need to go over to the premium.
	We're going to run it down.
	Ray said thanks for the shout out.
	Good. We're going to get you on next week, man.
	That's what we're going to do, Ray. You tell me when you want to come on Monday through Thursday.
	I can't wait to get you on for an hour, hour and a half, and discuss a plethora of issues.
	So let's do it one by one.
	Let's get out of here. We're doing it, and we're doing it live.
	Let's see what we got. It's going to take a second here.
	Rockfin, I love you on my heart.
	Thank you so much. Couldn't do it without you.
	YouTube, you know what it is.
	Thumbs it up on the way out.
	Subscribe, share, check out the documentary films.
	Twitter. You're the beast I know, not so much the beast I love.
	I'm still waiting to not be shadow banned anymore, Twitter.
	Hey, I'll pay the $8.
	I don't have a mac and cheese.
	I'm not an apple guy. Blue check verified.
