00:00Hey, good evening, everybody. Hope you're doing well, Stefan Molyneux from Freedom, Maine.
00:08And I had a cancellation of a call-in show. A great tragedy for the world, but a great benefit
00:15to you, my friends. Hopefully, hopefully you. And I did a show today, a shoe, I did a shoe,
00:24which was the truth about AI. Now, I've done some presentations on AI in the past,
00:32and I've thought a lot about it. I've used it a fair amount. I have created and designed my own
00:39AI
00:40for the general show, for real-time relationships, for call-in shows. I've done one for peaceful
00:48parenting, so I have a little bit of experience. For those of you who don't know, I was a chief
00:57technical officer, director of technology, and worked in the software field. Well, I first started
01:05programming around the age of 11 or 12, and it became the job, the career. I worked in the field
01:12about, well, I guess you could say about 15 years, and was programming up until not super long ago.
01:21And so, I know a fair amount about computers, technology, the business world. And since my
01:27entire experience as an entrepreneur in the software world was to bring technology to bear on questions
01:35of efficiency and automation, I know a little bit about it. Obviously, it doesn't make me any kind of
01:40final say expert, but maybe a little bit more than your average bear having worked in software and
01:47technology for many, many years. I have some idea. Now, I did a show, it's not out yet, I did
01:53a show
01:53today about AI, that AI is basically a mutant creature allowed by governments refusing to enforce
02:04property rights in the realm of books, printed words, and so on. Intellectual property rights
02:10I know it's sort of a hotly debated and contested topic in libertarianism, but certainly, if you
02:18create a book, if you write a book, you have the right to have other people not pillage it for
02:24their
02:24own profit while not paying you one thin red cent. That's wrong for sure. You think of the, like a
02:33million books in human history, and there's millions and millions of books that are hoovered up by AI.
02:40Algorithms, like a million books, a lot of writers take about two years to write a book. That's typical in
02:46the
02:46realm of fiction, probably even longer when it comes to nonfiction because of the research elements, although
02:51there's research elements in fiction as well. And the fact that millions and millions of man years are just
02:59hoovered up by AI companies for their own profits, while the writers, the authors get one, not one thin dime,
03:05is not
03:05something that would happen in a, in a free society. It's not something that would happen in a free
03:11society. So the entire specter of AI arises out of little more or less than governments refusing to
03:19enforce a copyright. Now, of course we can say, yes, but, uh, the AI folks, but they're post-copyright,
03:29man. They're, they're open source. They're creative comments. They're, they're the kind of people that,
03:34well, they just would never imagine that property rights are of any validity. So they're in full
03:39accordance with their own philosophy. And that would be not, not the case.
