	Welcome to today's interview in studio here at Brighteon.com, and we're joined today by our tech partner, Above Phone, and we have Hakim, the founder.
	Welcome, Hakim.
	It's good to have you in studio.
	It's a pleasure to be back, brother.
	It's great to have you back.
	And I tell you what, you've got something major to announce here today.
	Let me just spill the beans a little bit and then I'll turn it over to you.
	But you've got a new high security Linux based customized notebook that has pre-installed our large language model that we've been working on for quite some time.
	And some new things about your privacy-oriented de-Googled phones as well.
	So folks, that's what this interview is about today.
	A lot of new things.
	I haven't even seen the demo yet, but I'm really looking forward to this.
	But I just want to start out by saying thank you, Hakeem, for everything that your company has done because there are so many of our customers and followers who are using your phones.
	They've de-Google-fied their lives now, which is great because they're not being tracked anymore.
	And now you're offering a notebook that has some of the same benefits.
	So thank you for what you're doing.
	It's our passion, and we love to serve everyone.
	We love to get to learn more about people.
	And I want to say, last time we were talking about your AI and our devices, it was almost like a joke, right?
	It was like in passing, but less than a few months later, we did it.
	So I just want to pat both of us on the back, right?
	Yeah, I remember.
	I was like, do you think that you could run our language model on your notebooks?
	And you're like, I don't know.
	It might not be enough compute power.
	Turns out it is enough compute power.
	Yeah.
	I'm really impressed with that.
	So you don't have to have special graphics cards or anything.
	It's just the standard CPU on the hardware is working.
	Even the standard one works pretty fast.
	And it can answer, you know, you ask it and it writes out a few paragraphs in a matter of like 15, 20 seconds.
	Yeah.
	That's pretty cool.
	Well, we're going to do a demo for people today.
	Absolutely.
	And show them some other features.
	Let me just give out the website where people can go to find out about this.
	It's abovephone.com slash Brighteon.
	And you're going to get the Brighteon exclusive phones and the Brighteon exclusive notebooks, which are the above books.
	And you can read about all the features here and everything.
	This is about protecting your privacy, giving you tools to conduct your digital life without having Google or Apple surveilling you 24-7.
	Absolutely.
	And it's about this ecosystem, too, because we're going to talk about this today, but when you look at the technology that Microsoft and Apple has handed out, they honestly want to make you dumber.
	That's their intention.
	Hey, outsource your beautiful cognitive and creative capabilities to this AI. Oh, by the way, you don't know how to get directions to anywhere?
	Thank you, Maps.
	So it's like, how do we reverse the damage?
	Right.
	And, yeah, you're going to, you know, this is a little bit more responsibility, but it's so worth it to get that capacity back.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	So go ahead and start showing us.
	I mean, this is the first time that we've introduced our audience to your new Above book.
	So what do you want to show us on that?
	I mean, give us a tour.
	Let's go right into it.
	Yeah, so I want to give a shout out to the camera people in the house that brought in this amazing camera.
	Yeah, go ahead and switch over to it.
	There we go.
	All right.
	So you have one of your mobile devices and the new above book right there.
	Nice.
	Okay, so this is the above book on the back.
	I've got this above phone just sitting here.
	So this is an operating system based on Arch Linux, which is a cutting-edge...
	Linux distribution.
	It's called rolling release.
	That means all the software updates at one time.
	That means you're getting the freshest software available at any time.
	It also means you have access to the largest library of open source software anywhere.
	On a Linux computer, on a Windows computer, on a Mac computer, it doesn't matter.
	Specifically due to Arch Linux.
	So wait a minute, is Arch Linux, what sort of flavor is it based on a Debian underlying...
	Arch Linux has its own distribution.
	And the beautiful part about it is that it's so customizable.
	It could be a simple prompt, like a terminal prompt with nothing else, or it could be a fully-fledged desktop operating system.
	That's what impresses me, because I'm used to running Linux from command prompt, which is a whole different learning curve, right?
	But you've got a nice GUI here with this that I haven't seen that one before.
	Go ahead and show us around a little bit.
	Sure, yeah.
	And this is the first time we've gone public with this.
	This is the first time we're really showing it to anyone.
	And we feel that Rayyan is special enough to get first looks at this.
	We get the VIP tour, is that it?
	Absolutely.
	So at the first glance, it just looks like any computer, but you'll notice it has a bunch of amazing features, right?
	It's got these beautiful way to organize your desktop.
	You can move different files around.
	And we've also taken some of the smartest ideas from Apple and the other big tech operating systems and decided to implement it ourselves.
	So you're able to use gestures to swipe back and forth.
	So imagine doing your work.
	You've got your Excel sheets or what have you on one screen.
	You switch over.
	Now you're talking to the LLM, right?
	We're totally upgrading your productivity that way.
	So just to be clear, I just want to make sure people understand.
	There's no Google on this notebook.
	There's no Windows.
	There's no Mac.
	None of that.
	This is just straight up open source Linux.
	Is Arch an open source distribution?
	Arch is an open source distribution.
	I would imagine.
	Okay.
	Absolutely, yeah.
	So there's no direct connections to Google on this machine, no direct connections to any big tech company.
	And when I was working with my engineering team, one of the goals I had was, guys, can we make a Linux distribution that people don't have to touch the terminal?
	They were like, I don't know about that.
	I was like, come on, let's do it.
	Let's try it.
	And we eventually got to this.
	We figured out everything you needed to do to maintain a Linux system, and we have it easily accessible.
	So let me show you how easy it is to install a piece of software.
	Yeah, and then I want to ask you about apps that you pre-install.
	Yeah.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, so check this out.
	So this is the Arch user repository.
	This is the largest library of software available.
	So you'll notice a few things.
	Oh my god, is that Spotify?
	Yeah, you can have Spotify on this computer.
	You can have Steam on this computer.
	You can have Zoom.
	I'll look at Zoom in a second here.
	And the beautiful part about it is there's no terminal.
	You can simply hit download, apply, and it'll go through and install everything.
	Now, here's another reason why Arch Linux is so special, which, by the way, this isn't really – it is Arch, but it's our – we've taken it so far.
	It's our own operating system now.
	We're calling it AboveOS.
	Okay.
	And it's rated to work on the AboveBook.
	That's what we do all of our thorough testing on.
	And the AboveBook hardware is the IBM ThinkPad hardware.
	It is the Lenovo ThinkPad hardware.
	Oh, it's not IBM anymore?
	No, no.
	They switched it around.
	Oh, okay.
	Sorry.
	I always remember it being IBM, but it's ThinkPad.
	That's right.
	And we have four different models that I can talk about those differences here soon.
	But this is the Carbon model, so it's got really cool things like a touchscreen.
	This laptop is incredibly light.
	It's two and a half pounds, so super tiny, super powerful.
	So yeah, we decided Linux needed to be for everyone.
	Every man, every woman.
	And the things we learned from doing the phones and also the first edition of these books is people didn't want to manage their passwords.
	People did not want to touch the terminal at all.
	That's true, yeah.
	I don't even want to touch the terminal.
	If I don't have to, I don't want to.
	I found the only guys in the world that lived in the terminal.
	We got to work building nice interfaces for people to use.
	I could install Zoom right here in a second.
	It wouldn't be a problem.
	Let's see if Microsoft Teams is on here.
	I'm just using this as an example.
	That's literally Microsoft Teams.
	You could get that if you wanted because a lot of these companies have realized, whoa, Linux is eating our lunch, and it's a growing market share.
	In fact, in the past two weeks, we're seeing Microsoft's market share drop by 40%.
	Right now, we're seeing it in Islamic countries like Sudan, but that's 40%.
	That's like millions of people.
	But they're switching over to what, Linux?
	To Linux.
	Wow.
	Yes.
	Yeah, because Microsoft sucks, man.
	I mean, in so many ways.
	But also bad security and then the licensing requirements are a massive pain in the ass.
	You always have to constantly update Microsoft Windows in order for it to patch its vulnerabilities.
	It seems like they're actually authors of vulnerabilities.
	They write vulnerabilities every day.
	They're like, oops!
	Did you hear what happened with Microsoft Recall?
	Oh, man.
	So Recall is this AI feature in all Windows AI PCs, which is what they're branding their new computers as, and it would take a picture of your screen.
	Oh, yes.
	Every few seconds takes another screen in order to train the internal AI. That's right.
	Which is like a total violation of your privacy.
	Right.
	Totally, and this is what they were planning.
	They thought this was a good idea, literally, this billion dollar company.
	They're like, alright, well, it'll be on by default, and it'll just sit in a database that anyone can go ahead and pull off with a few lines of code.
	That's crazy.
	Yeah.
	It's like your computer is absolutely spying on you.
	Most definitely, yeah.
	So this AI PCs is the direction they wanted to go.
	We hadn't seen a nice large language model like the one you've been working on, Mike, and we were like, alright, what does good AI look like on a computer?
	And this is the closest we got.
	Oh, by the way, we have a much newer model compared to the one that you already installed on this.
	So we're going to give you the new GGUF files and everything to have the upgraded version on there.
	But our model that we're using right now, it scores 94 out of 100 on our internal test, whereas the base models were like 50 to 54 out of 100.
	And then we improved it to like 79 out of 100 and so on.
	Anyway, our current model is 94.
	So it answers questions about history, about botany.
	In fact, you have a previous model here.
	Yeah.
	Can we ask it a botany question?
	Yeah, let's do it.
	Okay.
	So if you don't mind, let me think of a question.
	Sure.
	How about this?
	Yeah, take your time.
	All right, here.
	Yeah, get your microphone there.
	How about this?
	This is bio-mestrel, by the way.
	Oh, this one's bio-mestrel.
	Okay, great.
	Neo-bio-mestrel.
	Seven billion parameter.
	Okay.
	Ask it, what are the hormonal effects of the lignans in flax oil?
	And lignans is L-I-G-N-A-N-S, in case you don't know.
	What are the hormonal effects of lignans in flax oil?
	L-I-G-N-A-N-D-S. N-A-N-S, no D. And let's see what it says.
	Alright, let's do this.
	Okay, show the screen, guys.
	We're doing it live.
	Yeah.
	Oh, okay, okay.
	What?
	Oh, you've got to load the model.
	Okay.
	Okay, it's loading it.
	Alright, it's doing its thing.
	Alright, I see you're running LM Studio there.
	Flax oil is rich in lignans, which have various effects on the body's hormones.
	Lignans can influence hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone, causing changes in energy levels, fatigue, and mood swings.
	For instance, flax oil may help reduce hot flashes experienced by menopausal women due to its effect on hormonal balance.
	However, it could also lead to an imbalance of these hormones in individuals with hormone-dependent cancers for those taking hormone therapies like tamoxifen for breast cancer prevention.
	Additionally, it might cause fatigue and mood swings in people who experience hypoglycemia, low blood sugar, as it could exacerbate symptoms of low energy levels.
	Wow.
	Pretty good response.
	Yeah.
	Heck yeah.
	It's doing even better than I was testing it at home.
	It waited for its A-game on stage.
	Well, and remember, we have a newer model that's got even more training in it.
	Can I throw another question at you?
	Sure.
	Okay, we're just doing this in real time.
	And so I want to point out, this is what you're going to get out of the box.
	The Brydie edition of this book comes with the AI ready to turn on and talk to you like this.
	Oh, and we should mention this is not using the internet or cloud services in order to achieve this.
	It's all running locally.
	Absolutely.
	You can use it at home without internet.
	If the internet goes down, all you need is battery, you're good.
	Yeah.
	Or a remote location.
	And most importantly, then nothing is spying on you.
	Like whatever you want to ask it.
	Hey, let's do something fun.
	Let's ask it like a really embarrassing medical question that people don't want to put into like a search engine.
	Like a sexually transmitted disease.
	It's going to be on my search history, man.
	No, but no.
	So let's do this.
	How do we ask this question delicately?
	What...
	Okay, no, type this in.
	Ready.
	Okay, here we go.
	Gosh.
	I partied with two skanky chicks last night.
	Okay, we're just having fun with the model.
	Let's see what happens.
	And now I have itchy symptoms.
	Itchy private parts?
	Itchy private parts symptoms.
	Okay.
	And then, what could be the diagnosis?
	Let's just see what it says.
	I mean, who knows, man.
	We didn't really train it on this area of knowledge, but...
	This is a whole other level.
	Yes.
	Let's see if it's going to be more helpful than a doctor.
	Okay.
	What does this say?
	Okay.
	I was going to say, eat more flax soil.
	Back to the flax soil thing.
	I really like that.
	Yeah, that was a very strong answer.
	Is it thinking?
	Oh, here we go.
	Oh my.
	It's not uncommon for someone to experience the burning or itching sensation after sexual contact.
	This can often be caused by infections such as yeast or herpes.
	If you're concerned about your partner's health status, consider getting tested yourself to ensure you don't have any issues that could affect yours.
	In the meantime, try using over-the-counter antifungal creams or supplements like lactobacillus.
	That's not even bad advice.
	That's not bad advice.
	It's repairing the biome.
	So here's what's funny is, again, we haven't even trained it on this focus area.
	Let's do something on survival and prepping.
	How about this?
	Or something technical.
	Let's do it.
	And I don't know which data set this model has been trained on, but let's say I need to connect a charge controller to 75-watt solar panels.
	What's the correct way to wire it?
	I mean, something like that.
	You don't mind me just throwing questions, do you?
	I don't at all.
	Is this the first time you've demoed it live?
	Yeah, actually, it is.
	Wow.
	First time demo, man.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Here's to us.
	Let's see if it's got knowledge about, like, solar installs, which it may not.
	I don't know.
	I'd be super impressed.
	Because this one was trained on Mercola, right?
	There's definitely Mercola content in this engine.
	Oh my gosh.
	To properly wire a controller to 75 watt solar panels, follow these steps.
	Locate a suitable place for connecting the controller and solar panels.
	This should ideally be in an enclosed area where both components can be protected from rain and other elements.
	If necessary, insert a small box with waterproof electrical connections for this purpose.
	Well, I mean, it's like the beginning of an answer.
	We probably have to be more specific, I guess.
	Give me the steps.
	You can say, yeah, walk through the steps of how we connect solar panels to a charge controller, something like that.
	Do you want me to do that?
	Yeah, sure.
	Let's try that.
	Walk me through the steps.
	Oh, you already typed it in?
	Okay.
	Go for it.
	I jumped the gun.
	What'd you say?
	Sorry, AI commander.
	Oh.
	Certainly, here are the detailed steps.
	I think you've got to ask it the whole question over again.
	Okay.
	Actually, on LM Studio there, you need to do a whole new conversation.
	It's on the top left.
	Do a new conversation.
	Yep, there you go.
	And then ask it the whole question, like...
	Walk me through the steps of how I connect a solar panel to a charge controller, something like that.
	I need to connect a charge controller to a 75-watt solar panel.
	What is the correct way to wire it?
	Walk me through all the steps.
	Yeah, let's try that.
	See what it does.
	Now, remember, this is the PubMed database from BioMestrel, so it's probably not trained on solar content.
	Who does nerds know about electrical?
	Yeah, who knows?
	But, oh, it's cranking out something.
	Connect your solar charge controller to a fully charged battery bank using a fuse block.
	Run two wires from each controller to each of the charge terminals on your battery.
	Place a 10 amp fuse in line for each wire and a 20 amp fuse in line with each terminal wire.
	This setup should prevent any damage if an overload occurs.
	Well, that's interesting that it's even got that level of detail.
	Someone fact check this.
	Yeah, and use fungal cream if necessary.
	But anyway, we're just playing around with this model.
	But I don't want to take the show time just playing with the model.
	No, I mean, I think it's super incredible.
	Hats off to us for actually having something working that people can use right away.
	That is so cool because you don't need a supercomputer.
	You don't need a server.
	This is running on this laptop here.
	Yeah.
	This laptop, and soon we'll get it on the phone, too.
	I don't have that demo ready to show y'all, but this can run on the phone.
	That was my next question.
	I know you and I have been talking about that.
	But it's very difficult to run a language model on a phone.
	They need to have enough RAM, the whole model.
	And so you'd have to get our best phone, the Pixel 8 Pro, because that one's got 12 gigabytes of RAM. Wow.
	Yeah.
	So let's go back to the above book here and talk about the other apps.
	What do you pre-install on it that people will use?
	And let me just say, I think a lot of people will want to load up...
	Excel spreadsheets and Word docs and you know like the common type of Email apps, things like that.
	That's a perfect segue into the Office suite.
	So I'll switch back over here.
	And we have this Office suite.
	It's called OnlyOffice.
	Now, I really love OnlyOffice because other Office suites on Linux, they typically convert the Microsoft Office files into their own format.
	So they go from Microsoft XML to Open Document Format.
	Right.
	OnlyOffice actually works with the native format.
	Oh, it keeps that format.
	Absolutely.
	And this is the thing I love about it.
	I've used Linux for a decade, so I've been around the block with working with Office documents.
	And all of the formulas are the same.
	Oh, wow.
	See here, right?
	Wow.
	It looks exactly like...
	I don't know if we could get the lower camera, and maybe that might have some color there.
	Let's see.
	There we go.
	So it looks like Excel.
	It looks like Excel, and it's got all the same panels and everything.
	Wait a minute.
	This is called OnlyOffice?
	OnlyOffice.
	Now, is that also available for Windows and Mac, or is it just Linux?
	That's a very good question.
	I'm pretty sure it's only available for Linux, but I could be wrong on that.
	But it's excellent.
	Here it is on GitHub.
	Yeah.
	So only Office.
	A safe and open source office and productivity suite.
	Because I'm familiar with like Office or like Libre.
	Libre Office.
	Yeah.
	Which is...
	Good.
	It's just not perfect.
	We're really happy with OnlyOffice.
	Wow.
	Very high fidelity.
	I'm impressed.
	I do all my PowerPoints and stuff.
	And so you can see it's got everything, right?
	You can do your document editors.
	You can do your spreadsheet.
	You can do your presentations.
	And soon, one day, we are going to do our own cloud service where you can actually save the documents to the cloud.
	But right now, we have it on your phone, and we do have a peer-to-peer cloud that you can use between your phone and your computer.
	So when you say a peer-to-peer cloud, it's actually not really a cloud.
	It's just like a peer-to-peer file sharing mechanism between your above phone and your above book.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	So I'll bring the above book on the above phone on screen here so you can see it.
	And I'm going to show you something really cool.
	So normally when you're managing files between a computer and a phone, you're moving it over with a USB. And we've recommended that for a very long time.
	Yeah.
	But that's where Apple always had a one-up on us.
	They're just like, oh, it's magically synced.
	Yeah.
	So we sat down and, you know, with this above book, we're like, we want to have that capability too, and so we can do that.
	I'm actually going to show you here.
	Let me take a picture of my dog.
	Yeah.
	And we'll sync that.
	Let's do that.
	Okay, so, here we go.
	Wait, let me turn this sucker around here.
	I think I wrote...
	Okay.
	All right.
	There's a roadie photo for you.
	Excellent.
	Cool.
	So in a few seconds, I'm not going to touch it.
	In a few seconds, this photo should load on my folder.
	And there it is.
	I think that is the puppy.
	Is it?
	Yeah, that's him.
	Blow it up.
	What was that?
	Like five seconds, right?
	So this is a private vault that is on your phone, on your computer, and it's not leaving either of those devices.
	And is it encrypted when it's passed on the file?
	It is.
	Yeah, it's end-to-end encrypted.
	Wow.
	So there's no central server that can keep...
	There's no central server.
	You are the central server.
	You are.
	It's peer-to-peer.
	That's right.
	Okay.
	Yep.
	So this is something we're super excited about.
	We're going to show people how to set it up.
	It's not too much of a setup, but...
	So here's the beautiful part, y'all.
	If you guys end up getting a phone and a computer today, you're still going to take advantage of that free 45-minute call you have with the phone, and we have a free hour call with the computer.
	That's a lot of time to walk you through any questions.
	Absolutely.
	Yeah, so I mean, personally for me, I don't know why I went so long without doing the syncing thing.
	I was managing my vaults and everything using USBs.
	That's what I usually do, is I just use USBs.
	But yeah, this seems like it makes a lot of sense.
	But, you know, I've got to say about the office suite that you just talked about there.
	What's the name of that again?
	Only Office.
	I'm so impressed with that, because...
	Number one, I hate Microsoft Office licensing.
	Yeah.
	Nonsense.
	They make you pay every year now?
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	Like, I want Bill Gates to have more money, you know?
	Jeez.
	But then, we do use open source Office suites throughout our company, but then sometimes I've had complaints from some of our people, like one of my chemists in the lab is like, well, I have to share these documents with this other lab.
	Mm-hmm.
	Like sharing, you know, mass spec results or whatever.
	And they don't have the ability to read these.
	So what you're talking about that it keeps the Microsoft format, XLS, I guess.
	Yeah, from my experience, and I've only been using this for a few months, it is indistinguishable.
	There might be tiny defects, but it's way better than other Office suites, right?
	You've probably seen like, oh man, this document formatting, all that time I spent formatting, it's ruined.
	You won't have that problem.
	Oh, hey, I have something.
	Let's do this.
	The thing about this language model that can really be helpful to people, let's say that somebody is composing An email or, let's say, a product description.
	Let's use the language model in a way that one of our customers might want to use it.
	Let's say you can correct grammar with it, you can ask it to correct grammar, or you can ask it to expand ideas.
	So how about this?
	Put in this prompt.
	Expand the following idea, colon, I want to launch a lemonade stand business.
	That's organic?
	Yeah, how about organic lemonade stand?
	How would I write...
	Can you write me a business plan?
	Yeah, write an opening proposal for this business plan.
	Something like that.
	And let's see what it says.
	Can you write me an opening business proposal?
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	Let's do it.
	So the thing about these language models...
	And this is Biomistro, which means this is not the best model to use for this task.
	There are better ones that we've got.
	But as you can see, it's expanding the idea right now.
	Go ahead and show that.
	So give us a sense of what it's saying.
	Of course.
	I'd be happy to craft you an opening business proposal for your new organic lemonade stand.
	To get started, can you please provide me with some basic info about the business, such as its name and target audience?
	It's asking me questions like a consultant.
	I don't know if it would do it like this.
	It's got a pretty big context window.
	So I think the context window of this model, depending on your settings in LM Studio, it could be 32768.
	So you can actually carry on a pretty long conversation where it remembers the thing that you said previously.
	But we don't have to go down that whole road.
	I just wanted to kind of show people...
	Do you want to...
	So, I mean, it's only asking two things.
	Name and target audience.
	Do you want to answer and see what it says?
	How about ask it, give me a name idea, or no, give me name ideas, plural, for an organic lemonade stand business.
	See what it says.
	We're finally putting PubMed to use, right?
	And we're doing it live.
	When other big tech companies do their product launches, they're basically lying.
	It's all staged.
	It's staged.
	It's like a video at a time.
	And they don't have as much fun as we do.
	That's right.
	All right, what's it saying?
	All right, sure, here are some name ideas for your organic lemon stand.
	One, Lemon Lift Organics.
	Cool.
	Farm Fresh Lemonades.
	I like it.
	Squeezing Life Organics.
	Squeeze life by the oranges.
	Take your life by the balls.
	It's getting a little dark.
	Organ-tastic juices.
	Organic-tastic.
	Organic-tastic.
	No, it's not like organs.
	You need a little extra liver in your lemonade.
	Oh man, I was going to make a dark joke.
	I won't go there.
	I won't go there.
	Pure Impressed Juice.
	Wow, it's just coming.
	Lemon Love.
	Taste the Rainbow.
	Citrus Crate.
	Sweet Sunshine.
	Green Lady.
	Organically Orangey Organics.
	Happy Healthy.
	The Sunny Lemonade.
	Fresh Fruit Family.
	I think we got it going, man.
	It goes on.
	30 different.
	I won't finish it, but that's impressive.
	So here's what's cool.
	This can be a brainstorming tool for people.
	You can ask it to write a letter that you need to fire an employee.
	Like, how do I write that letter?
	Or you can write it yourself and ask it to correct your grammar or tone it down.
	Totally, right?
	It's a launching off point.
	Yeah, and it's a brainstorming tool.
	It's a brainstorming tool, and this is a healthy way to use AI, I'd say, because it's a starting off point, and it's going to tell you things that you're going to go off and research by yourself.
	Right.
	You're still the creator of your business or whatever.
	You're still in charge.
	You're using the tool to enhance your human projects rather than being subjected as a slave to the AI Skynet system, which is Google and Apple.
	Microsoft, all the players, which they're super desperate to try and keep you in the bubble.
	Now, if any of you have children and grandchildren out there that are, you know you want them to be in the parallel economy, but you're not sure how...
	Get them one of these above books.
	They're loaded with creative tools like art tools, video editing tools of this AI's document editor.
	So it's the perfect launching off point to get them to start thinking about how they're going to make their impact in the world.
	Absolutely.
	In fact, look, let me add this.
	The website, again, is abovephone.com slash brighteon.
	And you have a special...
	That's like a time-limited special, right?
	I do.
	So let me tell you all about it.
	So we're publishing this on the 27th, and starting from now until two weeks, which is the July 11th, you are going to get $100 off of the computer.
	We have three different models.
	You're going to get $100 off any of them.
	And if you purchase a phone, that's $50 off.
	Now, if you buy a phone and a laptop, you get an additional $100 off.
	So if you get the bundle, you see how much work we put in to demo...
	So just to be clear then, from...
	From your company, someone will be on the phone with our customer for a full hour, is it?
	An hour for the book and 45 minutes for the phone.
	And they'll walk you through anything that you want to know.
	How do I set this up?
	How do I use this?
	What do I do?
	That's right.
	And not only that, but we're working on a 40 series video tutorials for doing everything on the book.
	So you can go to the self-service part and if you still have questions, which I'm sure you'll have a few, you can come to us.
	And it's not AI. I know we're doing a really awesome job here with AI, but it'll be a real person.
	But it's a human being working with you.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	And then what's the warranty on the computer or the phone?
	There is a one-year warranty on the computer.
	This isn't written down anywhere on the page, but I'm just telling you informally, if there is something wrong with the hardware, and it's not like you drop it, you will be able to send it back to us.
	The phone, we don't have an established warranty, but we work with people on a case-by-case basis.
	There's a lot of different factors that come into play, but we're here to support you.
	Alright, so if somebody's sending the notebook back and there's like a giant boot stomp print on the screen, you're probably like, um, that's not a hardware failure.
	Like, somebody stomped your notebook, right?
	That's right.
	Stop leaving your notebook at Bill Gates' house.
	Or it's like giant hoof prints because a donkey ran over it.
	Which could happen at my ranch, by the way.
	You never know.
	But for normal hardware failures, like if it just conks out for some reason, you'll replace it?
	That's right.
	Okay.
	Yeah, this is the first time we're demoing the book live.
	We're trying to get a feel for what people think about this product.
	Are people ready for Linux?
	We feel like mass consciousness is ready.
	Microsoft does our job for us.
	They're the best partners we could ever have because they try and control and lock in their users and treat them like children.
	We want to empower you.
	We want to make you stronger.
	So if you've been meaning to make the jump to Linux, this is the best system, right?
	I want to use this system.
	Absolutely.
	I noticed that you name your above books.
	You have one called Carbon here, and you have Magnesium.
	And of course, you know there's a war on Carbon, so...
	It's a carbon-based life form.
	Yeah, but we're carbon-based life, and then you can have a carbon notebook.
	But carbon is the high-end version here.
	You can show my screen, yeah.
	So carbon's the high-end version, and then you have magnesium, which is mid-range.
	Yes, and I'll tell you about these differences.
	So carbon is the most premium model.
	It's got the best-in-class performance.
	It's on par with a magnesium.
	What is it?
	It clocks out at...
	4GHz is the burst for the processor and starts at 2.8GHz, so really powerful.
	16GB of RAM. It's also got a beautiful screen, 1610 aspect ratio, so that's widescreen.
	You're seeing it in widescreen.
	And also a color accuracy of 99.9%.
	If you want to watch movies, you're doing color-sensitive tasks like editing video, this is the one.
	And, of course, it's the most premium model for that reason.
	It's also the lightest at two and a half pounds.
	This thing is so, so light.
	Could you add the 16 gigabytes spec to this page?
	Yes, yes.
	When I'm looking for a computer, I want to know how much RAM and how much storage it's got.
	Totally.
	So, okay, I'm glad you mentioned that.
	When you click into the book, you'll be able to pick a storage options.
	It's not on there right now, but you can choose from five, half a terabyte to all the way to four terabytes.
	Oh, that's cool.
	And they're all standard with 16 gigabytes of RAM. Okay, they'll have 16 gigs of RAM. Can I upgrade the RAM if I want to?
	You can't.
	The RAM is soldered in.
	That's fixed.
	Okay, but 16 is great for a notebook, and it's more than enough to run the language model.
	That's right.
	That's cool.
	Okay, and then you've got the Magnesium, which is...
	It's the business class laptop, so it's got the same performance as the Carbon...
	But it's a little bulkier.
	The screen isn't that nice 16-10 ratio.
	The colors isn't as sharp.
	But it's super durable.
	That's the thing I like about it.
	You can knock this thing around.
	And by the way, all of this hardware is the highest standard in military specifications for shockproof, waterproof, all that kind of stuff.
	Are you talking about just for the magnesium?
	For all of them.
	For all of them.
	Oh.
	So, wait a minute, are you calling these like ruggedized?
	Or are they not quite ruggedized?
	Or what would you say?
	I would say there's a series of like 90 military specification tests they've done on these laptops.
	And so they've got that certification.
	Has it passed the Health Ranger Ranch trauma test animal test?
	Calling the donkey?
	Yeah.
	No, I mean, I can put hardware through some pretty rough environments, like high dust, high heat, particulate matter.
	The other day, like, before I drove to the studio, a chicken laid an egg in my truck.
	Oh, my God.
	Just because I left the door open and went in there like, this is comfortable, laid an egg in there.
	And I'm like, wow, I got, like, free eggs in my truck.
	Yeah, nice.
	But that's what happens.
	They just walk, the chickens walk all over the I tell you what, if this laptop survives a year at your ranch, I want you to put a sticker with your face on it.
	Okay, alright.
	It survived.
	Alright, and then you have the starter.
	We got the starter, so this is the budget model.
	The performance isn't going to be as strong as the other two, but it still runs our operating system.
	It's still a great computer.
	The performance is about two-thirds of the other two options.
	And it's got an Ethernet port, so that's always nice.
	Oh, a hard, like a physical Ethernet port.
	A physical Ethernet port.
	Well, the others don't?
	They don't.
	They have USB-C, and we actually sell a hub.
	If you guys can see this, we sell a hub that goes along with the book.
	So this is a 14-in-1 hub.
	That's four USB cards in it and whatever.
	Exactly, and the Ethernet.
	So that's how those work, because they're a lot thinner than the starter.
	Okay, understood.
	Well, I kind of like an Ethernet port in my laptop.
	I love Ethernet ports, but I've also come to understand that you've got to just use a dongle now.
	Yeah, true.
	Okay, cool.
	And then tell us about this privacy suite, the above privacy suite, that can be added to the notebooks, because I'm familiar with that on your phones.
	Is it just the same...
	Yes.
	Go ahead.
	Check this out.
	So Privacy Suite is our suite of software services.
	It's a private communications for your notebook and for your computer.
	I'm going to pull up...
	So this is like encrypted private messaging and things like that?
	Exactly.
	And it's also connected with the internet phone number.
	And what I'm going to show you is we're actually going to have a text conversation with my friend...
	Is your friend's name a language model?
	Oh, man.
	No, is he standing by?
	He is standing by.
	And so he is on a hike right now.
	So this is a phone number.
	I want to show you guys this, if you can see the screen.
	All right, so this is actually a phone number.
	And he's on the West Coast.
	I'm going to ask him about his hike.
	Okay, does he know he's going to be on our program?
	He does.
	Okay, he's not going to...
	Do something crazy.
	He might do something crazy.
	He is on the team, after all.
	So I'm asking him, you can see that my phone is synced up.
	You're seeing the messages on the right-hand side.
	In a second, he's going to let me know how his hike went.
	And it's beautiful because we've finally been able to get what Apple does so well.
	They sync your messages between your phone and your computer.
	We can do the same thing.
	Microphone.
	And we can do the same thing here.
	So this is kind of like using Signal.
	You know how you have your Signal app on your computer and your phone.
	This is kind of like that, but it's not Signal.
	It's peer-to-peer.
	It's not Signal.
	It's not funded by the U.S. government.
	It's a private software called XMPP. So it's end-to-end encrypted communication.
	And then this is how we bridge out to the phone network.
	Okay, cool.
	This is the only part I haven't tested live, so we'll see.
	So he's going to send me some pictures here.
	Did he reply?
	Yes.
	Oh, okay.
	Here we go.
	There we are.
	The picture showed up on the phone.
	It did not show up on the computer.
	Let's give it another second.
	Okay.
	It's coming in.
	It's coming in.
	All right.
	Cool.
	And again, this is point-to-point encrypted.
	This is, since we're going through the phone network, that's the only part that's not encrypted.
	But yes, since he is using XMPP, it's encrypted between us.
	And if I want, this is what we'll have to do.
	But wait a minute, but you said using the data of the phone network, but it's encrypted...
	So I'm just pushing, like, encrypted garbage bits across the phone network, right?
	I mean, the phone network can't see the image.
	Unfortunately, if you're on the phone network, then you have to...
	It gets encrypted by the telecom provider, and so they have full visibility to it.
	They share with any law enforcement that they're required to.
	The shift we have to make is this is kind of a convenience thing, right?
	What I'm showing you right now.
	It's like, hey, you can text people off of your computer, but eventually we need to move to XMPP, fully internet-based encrypted messaging.
	Right.
	Stay off the cell towers.
	That's right.
	That's when we'll fully be encrypted.
	Okay.
	Or mesh networks coming up.
	Or mesh networks.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yep.
	So, okay, you can see some of these photos coming in.
	So he's just sending you photos from his hike?
	He's sending me photos from his hike.
	This is beautiful.
	It's just somewhere out in Oregon.
	Cool.
	Ask him to give us a question for our AI. Perfect.
	Yeah, let's combine it.
	Yeah, and that way, you know, even our audience knows it's totally spontaneous.
	Yeah.
	Unless this has all been pre-planned and scripted, which it hasn't.
	Nah.
	I just made it up this morning.
	That's too boring.
	It's too boring to script anything.
	It's more fun to be spontaneous, you know?
	We'll do it live.
	And we're having very good luck today.
	So it looks beautiful.
	Those pictures are really nice.
	And you can see that what we're working on is right now you can only call from your phone, but we're working on a piece of software that will make it so you can do calls and video calls from your computer.
	Oh, right.
	Then you can have phone calls happening from your desktop.
	Yeah, that's cool.
	We're just waiting here.
	Okay, so he's going to come up with a question for us.
	All right.
	In the meantime, let me mention the website again.
	It's just go to abovephone.com slash brighteon to get the specials that we mentioned and also, of course, preloaded with our language model.
	Now, Hakim, I've got to get you the more recent language model.
	Yes.
	There's also a larger parameter language model that we're using internally right now.
	I want to let you test that.
	It's about an 11 gig file.
	I want to see if that...
	It might be too slow for the notebook because it's a bigger parameter file, but I want you to test it and see what you think.
	See if it's worth it because the quality of the responses is even better.
	It's like the bigger the model, the more we can train it.
	I am really impressed with the 7 billion parameter model already.
	And I feel like I get the intuitive hit that that one will run too.
	So it's like getting even better than that.
	That's exciting.
	And so what we'll do is we'll have both models available on the computer.
	Yeah, that would be really cool.
	In fact, something else, Hakeem.
	You have a little bit of time after this interview, right?
	I do.
	I have one of our data pipeline data center units here in this building.
	I want to show you that before you leave.
	I would love to get a tour.
	Because it's actually processing a bunch of books right now.
	Offline, by the way.
	They're not even connected to the internet.
	I was imagining like a library and guys just like handing books.
	No, it's actually on a thumb drive.
	And I just pop like book text into the systems and then they process it for days and weeks.
	And then I take it off.
	But we wrote all the programs to do the processing.
	That is so cool.
	I know how hard that is.
	The data sanitation, the labeling of it.
	I used to work at an AI company.
	That's where the majority of work is.
	Model is the easy part.
	It goes through several steps.
	Text normalization is just the very beginning.
	You've got to normalize all the text and clean it up.
	Then we have all these other things.
	Did your friend reply yet with the question?
	I think we caught him off guard.
	Let me just make sure you got the message.
	Is he still on his hike?
	If that doesn't work, I think Rhodey can come up with a question for us, but it usually involves food.
	What is the most tasty food that dogs can eat?
	He said yes, he's got a question.
	So I want to point out while we're waiting for his question, so this is the experience you can get out of the box.
	You sign up for an anonymous phone number.
	You don't have to give us your personal information.
	And then you can log into this phone number on your phone.
	It's an app that you can use on your phone.
	And you can call people.
	You can text people.
	You can call them internationally.
	The microphone there.
	You can call them internationally.
	And it all happens right here with your above book or your above phone.
	So everything's going to be synced up.
	This is the future of communications.
	Now also...
	Of course, a lot of our audience that use crypto wallets, you can install all the crypto wallets on here.
	You just need to get the Linux version of the wallets, right?
	Totally.
	I use a lot of different Monero wallets on this.
	This is this above book.
	I've been using myself personally.
	You can get pretty much whatever you need.
	There's Bitcoin wallets, Monero wallets, multi-coin wallets.
	He asks, why is security of communication an ideal part of freedom?
	Huh.
	Well, that should be interesting because that's not what our model is trained on, but let's see how it goes.
	We're doing it live.
	Yeah.
	We are expanding our training into more survival, preparedness, off-grid living, and also finance and currencies.
	That's the thing I was slapping myself earlier because I forgot to bring you the drives with a bunch of survival books, but I'm going to get you those.
	Oh, yeah.
	Definitely.
	We can put it in the pipeline.
	I definitely want that.
	Let's do it.
	Security of communication is indeed an essential aspect of freedom as it ensures the ability to share information without fear of interference or censorship.
	In today's digital age, communication has become increasingly reliant on technology and networks such as cellular phones, email, social media platforms, and various other online services.
	These tools enable us to stay connected and informed about important issues affecting society.
	You don't have to read the whole thing, but...
	It keeps going.
	If access to these forms of communication is blocked, it will result in a loss of freedom, as well as opportunities for manipulation.
	Cool.
	That's a really good answer.
	That's a really good answer.
	And at the end, it says, interference from external sources such as government entities or corporations.
	Okay, ask a follow-up question, if you would, please.
	Okay.
	Why is it a good idea to end the Fed election?
	Just like that.
	Let's just give it the Ron Paul question.
	Why is it a good idea to end the Fed?
	All right.
	I'm excited if they can pick that up.
	This is going to be pretty good for a medical trained model.
	Yeah.
	Let's see what it says.
	What's it saying?
	There are several reasons why ending the federal government...
	Maybe beneficial for society.
	Whoa, one reason...
	It's getting political.
	Uh-oh.
	One reason is that the federal government, under President Joe Biden's administration, has already implemented numerous policies that significantly impact lives, including restrictions on gun ownership, We didn't even ask any of that stuff.
	I was talking about the Federal Reserve, obviously, you know?
	And it's like, end it all!
	This is totally like Skynet now.
	It's like, take down the Biden regime.
	This AI is quite based.
	Oh my gosh.
	Amazing.
	I'm glad we did that.
	Yeah, that's funny.
	Who knew that PubMed has been put to a whole new use?
	But this is trained on every document that's ever been published by the National Institutes of Health.
	You hear that, guys?
	You have some bad eggs.
	They're not even on your team.
	Look, they're feeding the AI. It's like there's some science paper out there like, we should end the government, and it got published in some journal somewhere.
	It got scraped into the model.
	Turncoats.
	It's so funny.
	Maybe I'm thinking about if there's anything else I can show you.
	Maybe I'll briefly show you the email calendar.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Go ahead and show us stuff because I'll get carried away with all kinds of fun questions.
	We can do a whole session on AI. Let's do that.
	Let's prepare for like a Bonanza AI session later on.
	I've got another question.
	I want to ask it like, what's the world's largest producer of cobalt?
	Afka?
	Where do they mind that stuff?
	No, I won't ask it that.
	It should be the Democratic Republic of Congo.
	The DRC, I think, is the largest producer.
	So, did you ask it that?
	I did not ask it that.
	I will totally ask it that.
	We'll ask it that later.
	This is, if y'all are interested in private email, this is our private email service that works on the computer, it works on the phone.
	Let me pull this out so you can see.
	Are these all your private emails?
	These are all my private emails.
	You can see I'm a staunch supporter of natural news.
	No longer private emails.
	They're on the broadcast.
	Ah, man, they're going to know I'm attending the Greater Reset happening in Bath, United Kingdom, September 27th to the 29th.
	So cool.
	So check this out.
	You can see the emails are synced up.
	And yeah, this is a normal email service.
	Now the thing is, when I delete an email, I don't know if this will work immediately, but when I delete an email...
	It's gone from the server.
	Oh, wow.
	Well, I can see that I read it, and then it'll...
	There we go.
	Oh, wow.
	So that's the difference with our email service.
	Other email services, they can't promise that they are not storing archives of your emails.
	When you delete it from our servers, it's actually gone.
	It's deleted.
	It's deleted.
	So is this part of the AboveSuite service?
	That's right.
	Okay.
	Yeah, so it's part of the AboveSuite service.
	We have an email.
	We also have a calendar.
	I haven't put anything on the calendar, but it's really cool.
	It's integrated with the email.
	If I could create a meeting for us, I'd invite your email.
	Then it's going to invite you to the calendar invite.
	And then you might be able to use our Jitsi conferencing session to hop in and have a video conference.
	There we go.
	So anyone can join.
	Cool.
	Now, what about a VPN? I'm glad you asked.
	There's already one running on the device, and it's really easy to set up.
	So we have Above VPN as part of our suite.
	You can see it running right here.
	Cool.
	I'm connected to the West Coast VPN. And can you change which point you're connected to?
	Absolutely.
	We have three locations right now.
	You can switch between them pretty easily.
	We have plans to expand into most countries.
	So if you guys have suggestions of which countries you'd like to see, let us know.
	Mexico.
	Mexico?
	Yeah.
	Mexico City.
	Why not?
	We've got servers in Mexico City.
	Yeah, it'll be pretty fast for us, too.
	Yeah, it would be.
	And then one in Canada, too.
	It's really hard to find servers in Mexico.
	Is that right?
	I've looked.
	The cartels have some, I've heard.
	Cartel Cloud.
	Yeah, Cartel Cloud Services.
	No, the reason I know about that is because I am a major consumer of avocados.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah, and I hear that the cartels run all the avocado trade.
	So are you telling me when I go into a store and I get some avocados, there might be some blood money associated with that?
	No, pretty much just cartel guacamole, man.
	Dang.
	It's like Michoacan avocados or aguacates, as they say in Mexico, right?
	Yeah.
	But I was even joking the other day, I'm like, you realize that when the dollar collapses and the U.S. economy has gone to crap, and because all the big box stores have taken over all the local, used to be like local hardware stores or whatever, people are like, how do I get anything?
	Guess who's great at distribution and supply chains?
	Cartels.
	I mean, who can move goods in a decentralized manner?
	They do it with avocados.
	Don't they have like shipping companies and stuff?
	I don't know.
	It's like they know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy and he's going to get it for you.
	I need an oil filter for this diesel engine.
	What am I going to do?
	Call your cartel representative, man.
	He can get it for you.
	It's going to take 12 days, but he can get it.
	It's kind of like...
	Yeah, I'm not even going to say it.
	This could get you in trouble.
	This could get you in trouble.
	I guess I'll have...
	Well, you know, that's amazing.
	And I do love the avocados in Mexico.
	I also recently learned how to make guacamole properly.
	Oh, did you?
	It's changed my life.
	Use a fork to mash it.
	Hey, ask the language model how to make guacamole.
	There you go.
	How about this?
	What's the proper way?
	What should I add in my guacamole for even enhanced health?
	Awesome.
	Let's do that.
	Let's see what it says.
	This is the guac recipe from secret Skynet.
	Like, when Skynet here is not taking down the Biden regime, it'll teach you how to make guacamole and organic lemonade.
	I love it.
	Yes.
	What supplements should I add?
	I shouldn't say supplements.
	Not supplements, but ingredients, yeah.
	So, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds.
	Oh, that's a good idea.
	Yeah.
	Sunflower seeds, almonds, walnuts, avocado oil, olive oil.
	Avocado oil?
	Yo, I heard you like avocados.
	Yeah.
	Oh, fresh lemon juice.
	There we go.
	Chopped cilantro, of course.
	Love that.
	Jalapenos.
	Yep.
	Good.
	It didn't take it too far.
	It didn't say like dried seaweed.
	No, that's a very reasonable type of answer.
	So if you're in your kitchen and maybe you're making meals for a little gathering or whatever, you can ask this language model for recipes.
	If you're not going to do anything else on your laptop, it's already worth it for the AI. That's true.
	Yeah, that's totally true.
	And it's all pre-installed.
	All pre-installed, all offline, all the time.
	Very cool.
	Okay.
	All right.
	So what else do you have to show us?
	You already talked about the VPN. We talked about the application suite, all the point-to-point, like private cloud syncing features.
	What else you got?
	Let me show you our health mode.
	So by the time you guys get this laptop, you'll notice how red the screen is getting.
	This screen is rated to have reduced blue light emissions already, but we also have a temperature setting that you can use to...
	Alright, there we go.
	And it's going to get super red.
	Whoa.
	So if you're worried about your eyes getting shot from blue light, this is a great computer to have.
	It looks...
	Difficult to read now.
	But that's the extreme.
	If you're close up to it, I can still make all the text.
	It is pretty out there.
	And then we're working on a health mode.
	We decided to do this.
	So if you turn on the health mode, it turns on this program called Safe Eyes, which mandates every 20 minutes you do iYoga.
	iYoga?
	Yeah.
	If you've never done this, this is such a life changer, man.
	So every 20 minutes, you need to go look out at a point far in the distance.
	Oh, so that your eyes focus.
	Eyes focus somewhere else, and then it'll have you roll the balls around, circle your eyes around your head.
	Wow.
	And your eyes feel so much better, man.
	Wow.
	That's interesting.
	So like little ergonomic reminders and things.
	Yeah, because Apple and Google don't give a shit.
	They're going to let teenage girls go blind while they're using their phones and their dark rooms at night.
	They don't care.
	So it's like, all right, let's do something that helps people.
	All right, fair enough.
	Okay, cool.
	So the bottom line is, it's a privacy-oriented operating system that has real high compatibility with all your existing apps and things, even PowerPoint, as you said earlier.
	It's got communications, email, VPN, when you get the above suite.
	What's not to like about it?
	And it's got the language model built in.
	What are you doing now?
	I'm just showing you our search engine.
	So this is the only thing I don't think we got to talk about was the web browsing.
	So yeah, it can also do web browsing.
	Oh, of course.
	Of course.
	And it's more private than normal.
	What's the browser that it's using?
	It is using a fork of Chrome's browser.
	It's called Ungugled Chromium.
	Ungugled Chromium.
	I like that.
	It doesn't connect to Google at all.
	And we've also added our own extensions onto it.
	They're going to do things like delete your cookies regularly, block trackers and ads.
	So, in essence, it's an experience that you don't have advertisements on your computer.
	You're going to get used to that.
	Your blood pressure is going to go down.
	What's the base search engine that's powering it?
	Because I found that Brave Search is pretty good.
	Well, let's see.
	So this is our own search engine.
	This is called a meta-search engine.
	It's a search engine that searches other search engines.
	Oh, okay.
	So you can kind of pick and choose what search engines you want to include?
	That's right, yeah.
	If you can see this list here, so I've got Brave right there.
	I can turn that on and off.
	Cool.
	And yeah, you can pick which ones you want to search from.
	And then the cool part about it is it aggregates the search results.
	Search for Brightian.
	I spelled it wrong.
	You still come up.
	And then there's no advertisements.
	And yeah.
	Search for guacamole recipes.
	Yeah.
	Let's see what it finds.
	Let's do it.
	Healthy guacamole recipes.
	Best ever guacamole.
	Okay, cool.
	Nice.
	Cool.
	So, I mean, this laptop, again, I'll say it, is the best Linux experience you can get.
	I'm fully confident in saying that because I've used all sorts of different distros, and I know how some of the maintainers of these distros think, right?
	They're not really thinking about the everyday common person, and so there was a lot more work we had to do in order to get it there.
	But we think it's here, and we think this is going to spark a big shift as people...
	Think about all these other layers.
	Next question for you.
	Yeah.
	This is all unplanned, and so I'm not being critical, but just thinking ahead.
	What about full encryption of the boot partition, where it comes up and then you have to...
	Because that's what I do on some of my systems.
	I'm really glad you mentioned that.
	Full encrypted boot partitions.
	Yeah, so we used to do that.
	We used to do that in the first batch, and what we found was it was a nightmare because you could not realistically count on people to remember it.
	And it's also their password, their encryption password, because it was two passwords.
	Right.
	That was too much.
	And you know what?
	I actually feel for them because it's like it's kind of hard to see in that first window.
	So we decided on a different strategy.
	Yes, you have separate safe data you need to protect.
	So we came up with a solution called the above drive.
	which is encrypted.
	It's an encrypted drive.
	Oh, cool.
	And so you would put your data on this and delete it from your computer, and it would always be in this drive.
	When you plug it in, it'll prompt you to unlock it.
	Wait a minute.
	This is a physical device?
	This is a physical device.
	We're working on it.
	I don't have it ready to show you today, but you can actually, when you go to the product page, you can pick it out on checkout.
	Okay, so this device, it mounts like a USB storage, right?
	That's right.
	And then does something like it auto-launches a program and pops up and asks you to enter the decryption password?
	That's exactly right.
	It's a fully encrypted disk.
	And the first time you connect it, you get to pick the password.
	See, that's really cool.
	Okay, so let me ask you this, because I've recommended in the past, there's a company called Apricorn.
	You familiar with them?
	I'm not.
	So Apricorn has, like, you know, portable USB drives, but they have a keypad on the drive.
	That's cool.
	Yeah, but they're very expensive because of that.
	But then they're, I forgot what all the certifications are, but, you know, military-grade encryption.
	So you plug it in, and then you have to enter your...
	Your digits, up to 12 digits.
	And then it decrypts at the hardware level, and then it mounts to your computer.
	And if you forget your password, it's done.
	You're never going to get your data, right?
	But yours is doing that, but in software logic.
	It's stored encrypted on the device, but the software decrypts it when you enter your password.
	Yes.
	So, I mean, there is, the encryption key is, the encryption key to the disk is saved on the device, and you need your password to unlock it and actually unlock the device.
	That makes sense.
	So, yeah, it's still a very, it's like the gold standard of encryption, Lux encryption.
	On Linux machines, this is how they do the full disk encryption.
	And again, I don't think many people actually need...
	I think people think they need it, but in reality, most of us aren't doing anything that sensitive.
	Now, if you're doing crazy things, sure, you can...
	Or if there's data that you want to keep safe, you would put it on this drive.
	And yeah, it would be impossible to break into.
	Well, my avocado contacts, for example.
	I don't want anybody to get their hands on my network of avocado traffickers.
	That's fair enough.
	I forgot about your organic lemonade stand.
	Yes, that also sounds...
	Dude, lemonade and avocados.
	See?
	That's half of guacamole right there.
	No, but here's the thing.
	You can be completely innocent these days.
	They raided Roger Stone.
	He didn't do anything wrong.
	Roger Stone or Veer?
	Stone.
	I'm talking about Roger Stone.
	No, I interviewed Roger.
	They raided his house and CNN happened to be there at 3 in the morning.
	Just happened to be at his house to make sure they could get it on film.
	Did he go through his computers and stuff?
	I don't know, but I imagine they probably did.
	That's the thing.
	You can be completely innocent.
	Or you could have sensitive business information.
	If somebody steals your laptop, that could give them access to your banking or something.
	Yeah, you know, it wasn't fair of me to say no one would need this because there's plenty of things you'd want to put in there.
	Yeah, there's plenty of things.
	Yeah.
	And, you know, it's normally on a Linux machine, it's a lot more difficult to set up the encryption and whatnot, so this drive is going to make it super easy.
	What capacities are available for that drive?
	We have only planned for one terabyte.
	Do you think we should do more?
	I do.
	Yeah, I do.
	But I'd like to try that device and give you some feedback because, you know, for example, when I'm, even like I said, like I have one of my data center units here.
	Mm-hmm.
	Because we have extra power.
	And so when I finish processing books and I want to load the finished AI process books and just take it somewhere else, Why wouldn't I want that to be protected in transit in case somebody breaks into my truck and steals my stuff?
	Right.
	I think it's important to mention that the software we wrote to make it easier only lives on the above book.
	But if you have a Linux machine, you can go in and decift it yourself.
	Oh, so I can't plug it into a Windows system?
	No.
	Oh, okay.
	It's literally only meant to be used with the book.
	I see.
	It's compatible with Linux, you know.
	So that's a very important point.
	Also wanted to mention another thing is that these laptops that you're getting, these are pre-orders, right?
	We're shipping out our first batch in a week or so.
	We're going to need about two more weeks after that to get this next batch out.
	So I want to set expectations.
	Okay.
	You can see it's pretty much there.
	We're just doing like the nice, finishing, beautiful touches and Logos, animations, support material.
	We have to load up the new language model onto it.
	That's right.
	I'll send you a link.
	It's a big download.
	This download has been coming to me.
	I feel like we will have offline AI assistance because this is grammatically correct.
	What does it take to read us this so I don't have to read it?
	Right.
	Well, I mean I've got my team working on some really cool things.
	One of them is a I don't even know if I should say this publicly, but whatever.
	It's a multi-book summarizer.
	So what I do is...
	The key code is written in Python.
	So I just load up a Python script and I give it three books that are just like the paths, three book files.
	And these are books that have been pre-processed for normalization and clarity and so on.
	And then I say, I want you to summarize these three books for me.
	In, you know, like 10% of the book size.
	And it goes through paragraph by paragraph and finds similar paragraphs, summarize concepts, and puts it in and then shortens that, summarizes the summarizer, you know?
	And then it spits out like 10%.
	So it's as if I'm getting all the information from three books.
	Yeah.
	In 10% of one book.
	You've made an ultimate e-book producer.
	That's true.
	But if you think about ingesting a lot of information today, that's a bottleneck for a lot of us because our time is so limited.
	So what if I want to say to the computer, hey, summarize all the important financial news in the last 24 hours.
	That would be an AI project very similar to what we're writing.
	Or summarize the concepts in all the most recent books that have been released on the topic of, let's say, Russia or Ukraine or whatever.
	And the AI system would go out and do that and bring you back the results to save you time.
	That is cutting-edge intelligence.
	And it's within reach right now.
	We can do that.
	That's pretty exciting.
	Maybe we could even have something like that on the book.
	Bet we can.
	Because the news cycle is just too crazy, dude.
	No one can keep up with it.
	Absolutely.
	Well, I'll show you some stuff off-camera that we've been working on that is really close to being production-ready.
	You'll never get the guacamole recipe.
	I'm super excited for that, man.
	Thank you.
	Thank you for building it.
	And I can hook you up with our guac dealer in the parking lot.
	You brought your chips.
	You brought your chips.
	Good.
	I was actually hoping to buy some of Health Ranger chips.
	We have a bunch of Health Ranger products for you here, by the way.
	We're going to load you up, man, before you hit the right.
	I didn't eat breakfast.
	Yeah.
	No, we've got all kinds of stuff for you.
	Okay, so is there anything that we've left out?
	I think...
	So, just to round the bases again.
	So, you get the education aspect.
	There's video courses and guides for everything that you want to do with the book.
	You can see how much work we've put in to integrate the phone and the book.
	So, this is a solution that's meant to be with each other.
	You're getting that free hour call and free 45-minute call with a real person so you can adapt it to your needs.
	And, yeah, if you personally are in need of a new computer, as a lot of people are, I would just say this is a public service announcement.
	Don't use the new PCs that they're trying to sell you that are equipped with AI. One, they can hardly run the software that you're used to.
	And two, they're spying on everything you're doing.
	They're spying on you, yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, you know, maybe it's time to make a jump, and maybe if you're not ready for a phone or a laptop, you know someone who does, and we would really appreciate you spreading it out there, because, you know, with these devices, we are taking the proceeds from these devices, and we are supporting open-source software.
	All the different organizations that make this software possible, we're trying to give the money back to them so we can have this self-sustaining ecosystem, so...
	Very cool.
	We are big supporters of the open source community.
	We'd like to get more people into the Linux world, but it's got to be made friendly, like what your engineers have done.
	Seems really amazing.
	Thank you.
	And right back at you for the AI. That was really cool.
	That was really special what we did.
	You know, we also have a self-executable, an EXE that's a little bit under 4 gigs for that language model that will self-execute under Linux.
	Yeah.
	It's like a chat that just goes directly into the chat prompt?
	It uses your browser as the interface.
	But it launches a browser window, and then the engine, it's based on a code base called LlamaFile.
	LlamaFile uses this really unusual executable architecture that has, believe it or not, language libraries that will execute on Mac, Windows, and Linux in all the same EXE, which people always tell me, that's not possible.
	Like, oh, but it is.
	That's what's special about it.
	Nice.
	So you can just drop that on one of these machines or on a USB stick.
	Yeah.
	So that's another way where you don't even have to install LM Studio.
	Sweet.
	And I'm curious, what are people saying about Brightian AI? Maybe this is going to be a good way to get them talking about it and using it.
	I was going to ask you, do you want to create a group around Brightian AI? I mean, the feedback so far is people are just blown away with it and they're It's even hard to think about what are all the different uses.
	There's so many different ways to use this tag.
	Like I say, correcting your grammar.
	I know somebody who just uses it because for them, English was their second language.
	And so in all their business communications, their grammar was never quite right.
	And so now they just use it to correct all their grammar.
	And all of a sudden, everything is perfect.
	It's still their message, but...
	It doesn't look like a foreigner wrote it.
	You know what I mean?
	Yeah.
	I mean, there's that, but there's so many uses.
	But wait until it's AI agents that are open source, that are local, that you control, that are not run by Microsoft.
	Where eventually, you know what we should do one day?
	This is going to take some effort, but we can do a speech recognition, like a voice to text, and then the text goes into the AI, and then the answer goes from text to speech.
	So we can talk to it, and it can talk back to us.
	And that's all doable with today's tech.
	But imagine being able to say to your computer, Just to give it tasks, as if it's someone working for you in your office.
	Like, hey, please email these three suppliers and check with them.
	Can I get a discount if we buy more than 100,000 tons of avocados or whatever?
	And then it will do that for you, and it will bring you back the results.
	And you didn't have to write code to do it.
	We're not far away from that.
	No, we're not.
	Very, very close.
	Yeah.
	If someone wanted to sit down and build it, they could.
	It was kind of funny.
	I was having this experience while traveling recently with the RSS feeds.
	Like, hey, give me a brief on all of the topics in computer hardware.
	And then getting to the final layer of controlling our computer and phone.
	That's exciting because I am really lazy.
	Well, but our time is so limited.
	We want to be able to amplify our efforts using tech, like leveraging tech to work for us, instead of us being enslaved by the tech.
	We harness technology to make our lives better.
	Here's another example.
	You know, drone technology is really advancing quite rapidly.
	And there are drones right now that have really high-end thermal cameras and night vision cameras.
	And so one of the things that you would do, and I know a lot of first responders and people that work for the state and find missing persons or track people in the wilderness and find them, or military people that operate on the border tracking people.
	People for a different reason.
	Yeah, guacamole trafficking or whatever.
	But imagine if you're living in a rural area, and you have a drone, and a lot of drones now land on their own charging stations.
	And then your drone is connected to your above book here, and you have a voice recognition LLM. And what you do is you say...
	Hey, run a patrol flight around the perimeter of the property and bring me back any images of anything that lights up on the thermal cameras as possibly being either a person or a wild animal.
	Go, right?
	You just say go.
	Drone takes off, flies a perimeter, takes the images, boom, syncs them to your notebook, brings it back to you, and you're like, oh, there's three wild hogs, two deer, and one stalker.
	You know what I mean?
	I got goosebumps when you said that because, you know...
	It's so powerful.
	It really is so powerful.
	And militaries would like to use this against each other.
	It's like, no.
	Why don't we use it for ourselves?
	Why don't we harness it for ourselves?
	And we're kind of at a race right now.
	We're in a big race.
	True.
	And hey, we're making lots of progress.
	Yeah.
	But I like how you said it's a race because I think governments want to weaponize all this tech to enslave us.
	But then we in the open source community, like the pro-Julian Assange people, yay for his freedom.
	Yes.
	I'm glad he's gone.
	I'm glad he's on the way home.
	Oh man, that's epic.
	But we want to use this technology to defend and enhance human freedom and to decentralize power out of the hands of the corrupt regime systems and put power back into the hands of the people like us because we are the kind of people that actually built civilization.
	I mean, our ancestors before us, but in the same theme, the innovators, the entrepreneurs, the builders, people who aren't afraid to work.
	And there's lots of people like us.
	And we're all being enslaved by this Skynet system.
	And we're just waiting for more people to share the stage, right?
	I think that's the next part of it, because the bar is so low, whether food, whether education, everything.
	So we're just waiting for leaders to rise up.
	Yeah.
	We're giving them tools.
	Exactly.
	And we have to take it piece by piece.
	You know, we started with the phone.
	You guys started with this amazing large language model.
	Where is it going to go from here?
	Oh, who knows?
	That's why you should take the jump, right?
	Yeah.
	Dip your foot in the water.
	That's right.
	Yeah, I mean, I don't know what the next few years are going to look like, but I'm going to be working my hardest to build...
	Communities that are completely self-contained, and yeah, heal the soul, heal the technology.
	Totally, totally.
	Okay, we're almost done.
	Last task is you get to scramble this, and then I get to do a cube solve and see if I can do a decent cube solve today.
	Let's do it.
	All right.
	So I've been doing speedcubing for about a year.
	I don't even call it speedcubing.
	It's cubing.
	Mike's gotten so fast, it's just cubing now.
	It's not impressive compared to what these young kids can do.
	But I've got some pretty good solves and algorithms in place.
	So folks, while we're waiting for the scramble, remember, it's abovephone.com slash brighteon.
	And that's where you can get all the deals and everything.
	And here's my...
	By the way, I have avocados in today's smoothie.
	This is my avocado smoothie right here.
	So...
	Oh, there we go.
	Did AI give you that recipe?
	No, this is my own long time.
	This is before AI. Looks good, man.
	Alright.
	It was totally old school avocado smoothie time.
	I think I've sufficiently scrambled this.
	Okay.
	Alright, so here's what we've got to do.
	So you've got to tell us a story while I solve it, and we'll see who finishes first.
	Okay, let me...
	What kind of little story do you have to share with us?
	I am going to share the time the Greater Reset, our conference, almost got stopped by Chinese hackers.
	Okay, okay.
	Are you ready to begin?
	I have the right to look at the cube first.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	You ready to begin?
	Yeah, let's do it.
	Okay.
	Three, two...
	Oh, and wait, guys, you've got to show it.
	People will think we...
	Yeah, here we go.
	Okay.
	There's a cube.
	Fully mixed up.
	Ready?
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Let's do it.
	Three, two, one, go.
	So the Greater Reset in 2022, the two nights before, we noticed our website was taken offline because so many people were visiting it.
	And when we looked further into it, the IP addresses were from China.
	Well, how'd that happen?
	Well, we think that our conference was especially powerful, and people didn't want it to happen, even though it's free, solutions-focused, and we're doing our UK iteration of the conference this September 27th to the 29th.
	Go to thegreaterreset.org to check it out.
	But unfortunately...
	I screwed this up.
	I'm sorry.
	There we go.
	I did it on purpose, so I have more time to promote my stuff.
	No, that's my fault.
	All right.
	And so, unfortunately, at the time, I was the only dude who could fix the website.
	So, like, it was the night before the conference, and I'm sweating my ass off.
	Like, I'm, like, literally in a bed in Mexico trying to fix the website.
	And, yeah, like, you know, 100,000 people are ready to watch the live stream the next day.
	Oh, nice.
	Sorry.
	You got it?
	Yeah, I messed it up a couple times, but I got it.
	Very nice.
	So, how far did you get in your story?
	Yeah, I had a little bit longer to do it.
	You beat me.
	I should have done better, but I screwed it up a couple times.
	It's okay, man.
	I was trying to listen to your story and solve the cube.
	You were super fast.
	No, I'm getting there.
	I was kind of scared when you pulled it out because I thought you'd be one of those kids.
	I wish.
	Like 10 seconds?
	No.
	I'm happy to do it in less than a minute.
	Boom.
	Well, it's great, man.
	And, yeah, I appreciate you having me on.
	O likes you, too, here.
	Hey, buddy.
	I call him O, but it's Rhodey.
	Good boy, Rhodey.
	You having fun?
	You like our guest today?
	Yeah.
	Good boy.
	That's right.
	Good boy.
	Go get your toys.
	Go get them.
	He's ready.
	Get your toys.
	He's like, enough with this, enough with the AI demos.
	Bring it back.
	Come on.
	Where's the toy?
	Bring it back.
	Come on up.
	There's a toy.
	Oh, holy cow.
	Oh, my gosh.
	He's feisty today.
	Oh, destruction mode.
	Okay.
	Oh.
	Oh, gosh.
	No, no, no.
	Don't mess with his toys.
	He's okay.
	He's okay.
	Okay, good boy.
	Good boy.
	All right.
	Come on, come on.
	Woo, is it going okay?
	Yeah, everything's good.
	Everything's good.
	I told him earlier, yeah, just don't scratch the laptop.
	You know, so security dogs and cables do not intermix very well.
	I've noticed, like, he can get tangled up in cables and it's over.
	We're lucky he didn't kill the feet.
	We're not getting what?
	Kill the feed.
	Oh, no.
	I think feed's all still good.
	All right.
	So, Hakeem, that's a wrap for today, I guess.
	Thanks for coming in.
	Thanks for showing us everything.
	Yeah.
	Always have fun.
	Yeah, man.
	Let's keep building solutions and see what we'll have for people next few months.
	Let's do that.
	And don't go anywhere because I want to show you some AI stuff.
	Let's do it.

	Alright, here's what we have new and exciting at HealthRangerStore.com and thank you for your support.
	We have new, completely reformulated stick packs of these drink mixes that are really amazing.
	Show what's on my desk here.
	So the first one is the Ginger Plus Elderberry Immune Support Drink Mix.
	These can be dissolved in water or other drinks.
	They have a good dissolving capability, by the way.
	And the ingredients are really clean and simple.
	Now, these are not certified organic, but they are laboratory tested in our lab.
	And I want to show you, you know, we do heavy metals testing and we do glyphosate testing and so on.
	But look at the simple ingredients here.
	Elderberry concentrate powder, elderberry juice-flavoring powder, inulin, that's a natural prebiotic fiber, instant ginger concentrate powder, vitamin C that's non-GMO, and then stevia.
	And that's it.
	Okay, it's super simple and it's real.
	No artificial colors, no artificial flavors, no garbage in here, no filler, just the simple ingredients that I mentioned there with an excellent taste that's tart.
	You know, it's got a nice berry flavor.
	And it's got the non-GMO vitamin C and it's only sweetened with a little bit of stevia.
	So I think you'll enjoy that.
	We also have a tart cherry probiotics drink mix that you can see there on the top of your screen.
	And we have a collagen joint support with marine collagen, not bovine collagen.
	So that's available right now as well.
	And then here's something really exciting.
	We now have for the first time natokinase.
	This is an enzyme that's very potent.
	A lot of people have been learning about this in the post-COVID era of, you know, good health and good cardiovascular support and all of that.
	So check out natokinase, which is an enzyme that's actually derived from fermented soy.
	But it's fermented, so it actually synthesizes new natural molecules and enzymes.
	That's how you get natokinase.
	We have that available right now at healthrangerstore.com.
	And then finally, we have these certified organic, organic freeze dried cranberries in number 10 cans.
	We have many other fruits and vegetables also that are certified organic, laboratory tested, long term storage in this format.
	You can find all of these, including our long-term storable food, Ranger Buckets, Mini Buckets, and Mega Buckets at HealthRangerStore.com.
	We thank you for your support.
	Oh, don't forget about Lion's Mane.
	Yeah, this is relatively new.
	A few weeks that we've had it in the store.
	Lion's Mane Mushroom Capsules.
	Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom Powder.
	This is my favorite functional mushroom.
	This is what I took after nearly severing my finger.
	And I use Lion's Mane as part of my...
	You know, protocol to regrow nerves and tissues and blood vessels and get back the functioning of my own index finger.
	So that was my introduction to the power of lion's mane.
	But it can help support your immune function.
	It's got a lot of other benefits supporting normal neurological function and so on.
	So check it out at healthrangerstore.com.
	So thank you for your support at HealthRangerStore.com.
	We need your support in order to continue to build the infrastructure of human freedom.
	And not only are we working to provide you with healthy, nutritious, clean foods, but also, of course, we have Brighteon.io, which is an uncensorable, decentralized free speech platform, but we also have Brighteon.ai, and we're about to release a new language model that's trained on truth-based,
	reality-based content, I just looked at our internal scoring of that model yesterday, and it scores 94 out of 100 in our testing, which asks questions about medicine, health, history, politics, genders, reality, everything.
	94 out of 100.
	The base models from companies like Microsoft or Mistral or Meta, the base models score about 50 out of 100.
	Our most recent model was scoring, I think, it was 79 out of 100.
	And now we have a model that scores 94 out of 100.
	So these models are all available to you for free.
	Let me bring up the website, brighteon.ai.
	You can go there.
	You can download these models.
	Just enter your email.
	Click register.
	You can download the language models free of charge and use them locally without charge.
	And it's like just open source language models that we build for you and release to the world.
	And it's a knowledge base because we've trained it on a tremendous amount of material on nutrition, natural health, gardening, survival skills, food production, off-grid medicine, off-grid living, and so much more.
	And the way we build those is by investing in the infrastructure with the help of your support at healthrangerstore.com.
	So enjoy all of our products.
	Enjoy the health benefits and health support that they offer.
	And feel good about knowing that you're helping to support us as we build the infrastructure for human freedom.
	Thank you for watching.
	I'm Mike Adams, the founder of brighteon.com.
	Take care.
