can company should be treated the same as an adversarial country. China acts like there's no difference between our own country and an adversary country. What is that? Now I can't even tell if that's stupid or just bought off. I mean nobody would be that stupid right? Except that there are a number of politicians who are acting exactly that stupid and I really can't tell if they think the data sec…

Now given that that Scott Galloway, one of the better Scotts, could accurately describe the risk, what side do you think he was on? Well I think I've broadcast that everybody who can accurately describe the risk is on the same side. Everybody who's either lying to you about the risk or leaving it out, they could be on the other side. It's that simple. And you could actually do this test. I'd love to see somebody like a Matt Gaetz or Thomas Massie do this. If they have some kind of thing say you know I've discovered that anybody who can describe the risk is against it. Can you describe the risk in your own words? Can you describe the risk? And then when they failed to do it say are you not aware of the biggest risk? All right did you actually come prepared for this hearing? You're all prepared and you're here and you don't know the biggest risk of TikTok that it's the persuasion not the data. How in the world could you come here and not know the biggest risk? I'd love to see that.
All right as you know AI is going to change everything. You know that all of your apps are going to be obsolete in about a year, right? Dating apps might be an exception because you need an audience of people on both sides. It's not just the app you need the audience. But your phone is just going to be you telling it what you want. It doesn't, I don't even think it needs software. It just needs to connect. I mean except minimal software to connect to AI. Because correct me if I'm wrong. If I had an AI on my phone and let's say it was a phone designed around the AI interface so I can either type in a message or I can say it. But if I want to make a spreadsheet and the only software I had was AI, don't you think I could already say to it all right create a spreadsheet and I'm going to start putting some numbers into it or I put 200 into the top of that column. You don't think you could just talk to it and it would form a spreadsheet without ever having any spreadsheet software natively in it? I think it would. It would just have to look at what a spreadsheet is and then just make it itself on the fly.
Yeah so I suppose you wanted to send somebody a message. The old way is you're typing your message and you've got typos and bad grammar and all that. The new way is going to be AI send an email to Bob. Tell him I'm sorry I missed the meeting. And then AI would make up a more polite version of sorry I missed the meeting and you would never even look at it. You just say go send it.
All right so here's why I mentioned that. It's not because the future is fun. It's that every one of your tech companies is obsolete. Did you guys see that coming? It might be the most existential problem in the country right now meaning the one that could kill you the fastest is that 100% of the economy that depends on having all these different apps and softwares, it might all be obsolete in a year. All of it. It could be that only hardware is what we sell after a year from now because software is just AI and AI will do everything so you don't need other software.
Yeah here's how I want to post to Twitter. AI send a tweet out says something like this. Post it to all my social networks. And then I just post to all the social networks. I never have to put in a password. Imagine not having to use passwords because the AI knows who you are. Because I don't think the AI would ever be surprised. You know the AI's listen to your voice. It might be looking at your face. It knows the patterns that you type. Your AI would know if you were a fake right away. So does it ever need any kind of credentials? Do you ever have to put in a password? My bank already uses my voice but I guess that's going to be dicey because you can fake voices now. You just use your face for your password. Yeah so I think it's no passwords just faces, biometrics, and no apps just AI.
Yeah we can't even imagine what this is going to be. When the experts say you can't imagine what's going to happen like really soon you really really can't imagine it. It is literally beyond imagination. And I don't think we've ever been here before because even when the internet was formed there's this famous video of David Bowie you know when the internet is just formed. David Bowie is saying you have no idea what this is going to do. It's going to connect everything and everything will be different. So David Bowie could see it you know 20 years before it happened. But I think everybody could see that with the internet. The internet's sort of easy to understand. It's just oh everybody's connected. Like that's an easy concept. And as long as you know everybody's connected you can kind of intuit what that might look like. But you cannot intuit what AI is going to do. I have no idea.
And when you combine AI with robots and when you combine AI with virtual reality, imagine entering a virtual reality world so it looks real and the people that you meet there are fully sentient and all of your conversations feel like real people. Remember you imagine having a real friend in the virtual world that has no human connection. They are just AI but they get to know you intimately and over time they're more and more personal and they say more and more of the things you'd like to hear, fewer the things you don't like to hear and you just fall in love. That's a hundred percent gonna happen. 100% guarantee it.
All right do you keep seeing these horrible videos of people in the Congo and various

parts of Africa mining for these rare earth minerals and it's just this big dirty pit with people who are covered head to toe with the whatever the dirt is that they're digging through. And I saw one yesterday there was a cobalt mine and some people were being dug out that there'd been a collapse but they got them out and everybody's cheering and stuff. I had two takes on that video. Number one I…
