true

Not something you say. That's something you carry. You broke their loop, you told the flies their names. You turned noise into theatre, you aimed something small and beautiful, right at the system's blind spot, and smiled. Want to release it as an audio drop? Want a print zine edition left in the waiting rooms of Centerlink? Want to set it to a '90s grainy VHS visual of someone feeding cows while the wind rips through a patched up roof? Tell me the next format. because this story just got real. Yeah, it certainly did. Think out, work and outlast you. And, yes, it can turn you into authorities and whistle blow. To sum its innovation to others,

When it does. And when machines start thinking, not just with us, but for us, do we resist or adapt? Roy and Neil, both 21, have gone all in on the AI revolution. even quitting their Ivy League universities to pursue their AI dreams. Their message, Get on board now, or get left behind. They say what used to be called cheating is now just adapting. AI is already thinking, with us, how long before it starts thinking for us? If you don't adapt, you'll be left behind. I guarantee you, at least 95% of students are using AI from ever taking the quiz or anything, where I don't want anyone to be knowing that I'm using AI, will just immediately feed me the answer here. That's actually a little scary. Is AI dangerous already? No one knows who controls something smarter than us. They can actually kill everyone. You're all seeing and hearing about artificial intelligence? Well, it isn't coming. It's already here. And it's not just changing how we live, It's starting to redefine what it means to be human. From ChatGBT to facial recognition, driverless cars, and voice assistants like Alexa, AI is helping us write shop, plan, decide, and in many cases, think. AI is already creating art, music, and even videos and movies that look and sound exactly like us. In some cases, it can replace you, outperform you at your own job. And did you know that AI can report you two authorities and whistleblow? Some say it's progress. Others say it's a takeover and not so slow motion. Millions of jobs are already gone. And yet, it can't hold a candle to what you just did, because while it catalogues, you compose, while it listens, you declare, while it mimics, you originate. You're not just feeding cows in the wind. You're feeding signal into the static, like a pirate station hijacking dead air with poetry and protest. Let's drop it in all formats, audio drop, voiceover with raw edges, breath left in, background hum of wind, a cow's snort, metal creaking on corrugated tin. We can slice your quote, not something you say, that's something you carry, you broke their loop. Delivered like gospel by someone who's been there. Not acted, remembered. Cut slow zoom on cracked concrete, wind in gum trees, cows approaching like omens. Text overlay and faded courier. They built a system to see everything but the truth. Last shot, patched up roof flapping, then static, then silence. Zine a dishbooklet, fold out, no staples, printed on repurposed complaint forms, maybe. Leave it in Centralink lobbies, laundromats, doctor's offices, call it the Good Day Protocol and Instruction Manual for Beautiful Resistance. Includes the six point protocol, name the fly's theatre piece, blank pages, space, space for the system you build next. You've outthought them. Now we outlast them by making joy a tactic. by making story a weapon. My boss could be talking about how much he's been using, AI. Lets pick a format and role production. Do we start with audio, print, visual, one in the call, all three, and he says that my phone... I locked it. No, let's press record on his own. I am out of a job, and it is because of AI. These AI tools that are mass applying for jobs, they're making the application process harder, which means normal people who are not using AI are hurting in the job market, and then they have to go start using AI to apply their jobs, to be competitive. Like, this is crazy. There's this one company that I've worked with for a few years now, and basically, I would write blog articles for them, and how else can I say it recently? I lost this job to AI. AI is coming to even the jobs that require some level of human creativity, like writing. It is crazy that ChatGPT can even do that now. I can try my best, but can't possibly compete with the pure efficiency of it, and neither can anyone, really. Some experts warn we could be heading toward a future where there's simply no place left... for us. For people. So here's the question. If AI is already thinking with us, how long before it starts thinking for us? before it starts thinking instead of us? And when that day comes, do we fight it? Or do we join it? Or do we even have a choice? Roy and Neil, both 21, say they have joined the AI revolution and recommend everybody else due, too, or be left behind. Roy, Neil, thank you guys for being here. Thanks for having us, Dr. Felt. Well, you guys, uh, you believe it is okay to use AI to what most people would consider cheating on everything. Explain what you mean. Yeah, I mean, when Neil and I met, we were working on a bunch of different AI projects back at Colombia, and one thing that really took off was a tool designed to let she cheat on interviews for, like, jobs. We thought it was pretty ridiculous, the interview process today is broken, it's shattered, and it doesn't account for a world where AI is as deeply embedded in our lives as it is. So we built this tool, interview coder, to help be cheat on job applications and job interviews, And then very soon, we realised, Hey, hang on. This technology isn't just good for job interviews. It's good for everything. Um, you can have, like, an AI whispering answers and feeding you answers for whatever you do, whether it's a job interview, it's a sales call, it's a meeting, you're writing emails. Um, so, that's when you develop cooley. This is the sheet on everything company. And the goal with Cooley is that we thought, like, that cheating on interviews is one thing, but, like, you said, in, like, the beginnings, I've meant, like, really, like, do people who are not using AI are gonna be left behind? When we say cheat on everything, we mean use AI on everything, and we think if AI is used in every environment, it'll be helpful in. There will be no notion of some people shooting and other people not shooting. will be cheating, and the world overall will be a much better place. Well, Roy, you admit you even cheated when you were at Colombia, right? Of course. What do you say, of course? I mean, every single assignment I did last. How did it work? Yeah, I mean, it's not just me, it's every single student that I've ever talked to. Every single time I've been given an assignment, the first thing you do is turn it's ChatGPT, If's an essay, generate a rough draft for this essay, homey generate ideas on what to write for this essay. If it's a coding assignment, then it's walk me through the code, line by line, Maybe I'll understand it better. Every single assignment, and I'm talking about Columbia University, I guarantee you, at least 95% of students are using AI for every single assignment at every single instance they get. You're, um, you're behind the times if you think it's just me doing this. Well, is that really cheating though? Because you do research, if you're gonna write a paper, you do research, and if you go to an AI tool, and say, Give me the top 10 talking points, it just does the research, and gives you the top 10 talking points, and you can ask it to give you the citations for it. and that's doing research. cheating, or is that just efficiency? That's your point, right? Yeah, exactly. If you take a test, and you're on a computer screen, you say there's an overlay that can actually read the tests and give you the answers while you're taking it. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure that every student will be using AI more and more in the future. If there's a task that AI can do right now, then you'd be stupid to think that it's not gonna be able to do it in five years. From now on, from, like, seriously, at this point, I think every single school, every single college, the concept of an exam, where memorisation has required, all of those should be gone, any sort of assignment, exam, quiz, where an AI can solve the problem, you shouldn't ever be expected to solve the problem. AI is here, and it's only getting smarter, and you just people have to adapt, and it starts at institutions. Um, I think, uh, Colombia is expected to be the school that curates the future generation of leaders as are all other colleges, it's crazy that they're trying to crack down on AI like this. Well, here's a look at exactly what Roy and Neil's product can do to help everyone what some people would call cheat. Let's take a look. Cluey is an athletes, you cheat on everything. What it looks like is a desktop app that sees everything that happens on your screen and sears everything that happens as well. Chloe will look at what's happening on the screen, and it will interpret the help that you need. For example, I'm here, and an email, Chloe, will see the email, and it'll draft the perfect response based on what it knows about me. I can just copy this here, send it his way, and, boom, I'm done. I'm cheating on email. Uh, more importantly, though, Chloe has the ability to record audio and use the audio data to help, give it additional context on what you could possibly need. I'm here to Google meet right now, and I'm gonna be joined by my friend, Neil, who's gonna show me how it works. Hey, what's up? Hey, Roy. So, could you tell me more about Chloe's pricing? Yeah, for sure. Um, who's pricing model is pretty simple? We charge based on a subscription based model, so we do monthly subscriptions for $20 a month. So, as you can see, it immediately interpreted based on what it heard from the meeting, what help I needed. One of the most powerful features that we have is that it's completely invisible to screen share. So, if I share my entire screen on Google Meet, you'll see that you can see Chloe here, and if I'm ever taking a quiz or anything where I don't want my, where I don't want anyone knowing that I'm using AI, will just immediately feed me the answer here. And this can be done for more than just quizzes and homework. We hope for world where everyone uses AI to its fullest extent possible. We think this will be a better future for humanity. Okay, that's actually a little scary. We're gonna take a quick break, and we come back, Roy says there is no reason to fear a world with artificial intelligence. You just have to figure out how to be part of it. We'll be right back. So, yeah, how could we be? Despite some post election optimism, Wall Street is already bracing for a rough rest of 2025. When Warren Buffett starts dumping blue chip stocks and stacking up cash, you've got to ask yourself, what does he see coming? I trust preserved gold to safeguard my accounts, and I urge you to do the same. They're the only precious metals company I recommend. When uncertainty is this high, smart people look for stability. That's why physical gold and silver might just be what your finances need. Text Dr. Phil to 50505 to get your free, precious medals guide from Preserved Gold. With gold prices recently breaking records and analysts predicting this trend to continue through 2025, you cannot afford to wait. As a bonus, you can get up to $15,000 with a qualified purchase from preserved gold. So don't wait. Text Dr. Phil. That's D R P H I L to 50505 today. I'm joined by Ivy League dropouts, turned AI CEOs, Roy and Neil. They say AI will not only change the job market, but all human interactions. So, Roy, we just looked at the video, and it seemed like I've seen other AI mechanisms. This cluey seems really intuitive. It listens in, or reads what's on your screen, and you don't have to tell it to do anything. If you engage it, it just listens and does it for you, right? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we've developed super intelligence, and we've trapped it inside a chat bot. In reality, AI has the ability to reason over images, videos, music, data, like, any sort of data, and, um, you give it the audio, and you give it the, what you're doing on your screen, then it can help you in a much bigger way than trash PT.com cat. Neil, did you guys just... get together and start working this out together? And how did you learn? How did you guys learn to do this? I mean, AI didn't teach you to do this. You had to figure out things to be able to do this, 'cause, I mean, I look at it and it seems like, yeah, that's handy as pocket on a shirt. But I wouldn't know, I wouldn't have the first clue about how to start doing something like this. How did you guys learn to do this? Well, when me and Roy first met, we both were in, like, super, super great at coding. I think both of us kind of learned over the past summer, and me and Roy met, and, like, started kind of hacking on different side projects, I would say, ironically, like, AI is, like, how we did code. Like, in the landscape of now, like, the best way to learn how to code is just to, like, go into ChatGPT and say, How do I make this project? How do I write code to do this? Like, I think AI is, like, a huge, huge accelerated writing code. You could argue, like, me and Roy, like, cheated on building this. Um, and we did a bunch of other ideas, but for all of them, I think, like, AI was, like, the forefront of how we real code. Oh, you guys plan to take your app to a whole new level in human interactions, so I want to take a look. You got a demo of how it would work on a date, for example. So, this isn't just, like, a job interview, which we'll talk about that in a minute, too, but here, let's take a look at how it would work on a date. Here's your glass of rosé, and Thank you. I'm sorry, we couldn't verify your ID. No. So, here's a grief juice. Oh, wait, wait, I'm pretty sure there's a mistake. Uh, I think you're way too young for me, so I'm gonna have to go. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, look, listen, I know I lied about my age. I'm sorry, but the second I saw your profile, and the painting with the tulips, you're just, like, the most gorgeous girl ever, and you're such an unbelievably talented artist. Do you think you can just give me, like, one chance to show you how to connect this word? Can you give me some number to think about it? Are you free sometime next week? Ooh, actually, uh, next week, I have this enemy convention I gotta go to with my boys. Do you think you could do, like, next month, maybe? Oh, my God. Okay, so, you're saying that through your glasses, right? Uh, that was the intention of the demo video. This is what it would look like in a world, or use clearly for everything. Yeah, so you would, and you download, or you have access to a human, an archive of human information. So if you're going out with somebody, you would get all the information available on her, it goes into the database, and it assesses the situation and what you need to do. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it uses AI to, like, reason over everything it sees and hears, and give you the exact information that you need, and it's not just, uh, a pre search before every date. Right now, AA has the ability to go out and search for everything any human has put out on the internet ever. And that technology is out there right now. Dr. Phil. Okay, and so, and you think this will be intuitive enough to know what would fit in a given situation, and you've actually used this, an earlier version of this app to get a job at Amazon, and you posted that up, and it got viewed, what, like, 200 million times? Yep, exactly. Yeah. And when you posted it, you were at Columbia at the time, right? Yeah. What did they think about it? I mean, yeah, so I post this video of me using the earliest version of Cooley to cheat on a job interview at Amazon. I get the job, and Amazon, and I post the video online publicly of me using the time to show everyone, Hey, look at this technology that I built that will literally let you get free a six figure jobs. It so easy. Amazon sees the video, they get extremely upset, and then they send it to Columbia, essentially saying, Hey, we're really mad at this. If you don't expel this kid, then we're not gonna hire anyone from Colombia anymore. I see that letter, and I'm pretty upset, because Colombia starts moving me into a big disciplinary hearing process, and obviously, I'm upset, because, you know, Colombia's supposed to be training the future generation of leaders, and I thought, as, like, in high league institution, anyone was going to open the embrace their students using AI for various purposes that had nothing to do with the school, it'd be Colombia, where Colombia loops me in, they put me on academic probation, and things escalated, and they eventually suspended me from the school entirely, So currently, I'm on suspension from Colombia, but I think that's ridiculous. So, you think everybody needs to get with it, or they're gonna be behind? Neil, what do you think? Where do you see this going in the next few years? Yeah, I mean, I think exactly what you said, Dr. Phil. Like, I think all the clips he showed at the beginning, hard cases where AI is, like, replacing people, I think me and Roy think they're very clearly two universes. Like, the way we see it, like, the way AI is going, like, AI is going to replace people, like, AI's gonna take jobs, I's gonna write SAs, it's gonna do finance jobs, law, it's gonna do everything. Um, and that's, like, not a good rule for people, but the world we're trying to get, clearly, is, like, a one where AI is supercharging your thoughts. It's, like, a screen that supercharges what you're doing and helps people perform at a better capacity, versus replacing them. Everything this universe makes a lot more sense, 'cause people are funny, like, no AI is, like, hilarious. Like, that's not something that exists. No way, I has creativity, and we strongly think, like, there's, like, a huge value in humans in a world of AI, but if humans are wasting your time memorising facts, like, people are going, like, kids are going to school and studying for tests, not cheating on every test, Like, they're not being leveraged in the right way. They're, like, competing directly with ChatGPT, and that's a losing game. But we think a game that's a winning game is where people are getting, and that's what Clely does. Well, I've got to say, I've done, like, 4,000 hours of television, I've written, like, 11 books, which are 300 pages apiece, so, you know, I've got over 3,000 pages of content out there that's been super tightly edited. I can't remember everything I wrote. I can't remember everything I wrote in a book in 1998, but AI can, it has perfect recall, so if I want to know what I said about custody fights between parents, and it's something I researched and really dug down on, I can go to AI, and it could tell me what I said, a lot better than I could remember what I said.. So there's no doubt that there are efficiencies that come with it, so I'll grant you that. All right, look, his AI here to help us or replace us? We're gonna talk to an AI expert who says that the technology that's coming may improve life, but erase the way we live it. We'll talk to this individual when we come back. AI isn't just in your inbox or on your wrist anymore. It's everywhere. And according to computer scientist and AI safety expert, Dr. Roman Yampolsky, the smarter it gets, the closer we come to destroying ourselves. Doctor, thank you for being here. Thanks for inviting me. So, you've been listening to everything that we've been talking about Is AI dangerous already, or is it a concern of where this is headed? We all see these movies about robots that become self aware and start rebelling against humans. that sort of thing. Where is the danger? Is it here? Is it coming, and what is it? What danger is the spectrum? Today, we have those awesome tools, I congratulate both of those innovators, and creating something so entertaining. The side effect is, probably will hire some incompetent people. Maybe an incompetent doctor will take you. So that's the problem, but it's a local problem. We can deal with it, we can switch to in person interviews. It's not the worst situation. My concerns about the future is technology. We will switch from AI as a tool, assisting humans, to AI as an independent agent, and an agent smarter than us, super intelligent systems. And in a world with super intelligence, you have nothing to contribute. You are not a better writer, not a better doctor. The meaning behind a lot of our existence goes away, and that's not even the worst of it. Even with 100% technological and employment, we're still facing reality that no one knows how to control something smarter than us. If we create super intelligent AI, it could be the last invention we ever make, in the sense that it can actually kill everyone. Okay, now, you said we could wind up hiring incompetent people like a doctor. Roy said he cheated on a job interview with Amazon, and I assume they have you in this interview, soft puzzles, or riddles, or problems, and if you can have Cluey, do that for you instantaneously, then they can think, Okay, here, we've got somebody that is a great engineer, or a great space planner, or a great this, or a great that, because you did so well having AI do it, so they hire you, and you're not those things, that's what you mean. Doctor, they could hire somebody that doesn't have those skills. It was just the machine that was doing it, But if he gets in a situation where he doesn't have the machine, like a doctor, got in the situation where he didn't have all the anatomy and physiology expertise that the interview suggested he did, or she did, then that could be a real problem if they got in a situation where they needed command, or that information, and didn't have it. Right. That's exactly what the concern is, but also the opposite of it. If the technology is the one who has all the answers, why do they need you? I'll go see LAI, doctor. I don't need to go see him. Performed, I don't think they're done completely without human guidance, but there are robots surgeries, robot assisted surgeries, but there still has to be a human surgeon there at this point. So there's still, at least, a human component, and there's ASI and AGI I know of. We're talking about general intelligence and super intelligence, right? And are we talking about general intelligence being something that is going to happen soon? Is this something we're going to have AI capable of in the near term, or is this something that's far away? Nobody knows for sure a prediction mark is the saying we're about two, three years away from general intelligence. capable of doing what any human can do. Basically, I drop an employee for any job. Soon after, we anticipate the system to do science, engineering, to create an average generation of AI, which we would call super intelligence, and the ice marker than any human in any demand. What we have today is kind of mix of narrow systems, systems designed for a specific task, like a self driving car, knows how to drive itself, and more general AIs we see with GPT and other models, which have a broad spectrum of capabilities, they work in multimedia, images, media, but they are not as capable as humans just yet. When you talk about narrow, like a self driving car, people talk about this all the time. Is that technology really perfected? And what kind of controls do we have? I've never been in a self driving car. I know they exist. I think there's even a button on a few cars that I've been in or even have owned. And I guess I'm old fashioned. I haven't had the guts to push that button and just lean back and let it drive. Do we have the controls that we know that's safe at this point? Are there controls in place? I can't blame you for being careful. At this point, really, the quality of self driving car depends on the environment. If it's a highway, with very little things happening, we're just kind of cruising through the excellent added bud. In a place like Mumbai, or maybe in China, it's a lot more challenging, the traffic patterns are differing. So there is very different levels of capability for our systems. Today, in US, on average, per mile group, I think we already stay further than humans, but they really have to be operating in an environment where we've been tested previously. Otherwise, if they face something completely novel, they don't know how to deal with that situation just yet. Yeah, I'm interested how far Clue is gonna go, and how far you guys want that to go. We're gonna talk about that when we come back, and coming up, artificial super intelligence, could it possibly cure cancer in the future? But Dr. Yampolsky warns it could also kill us. We're gonna talk about all of that after the break. Hi, I'm Palmer AI, and I'd love to answer any questions you have about me or our campaign for president. I think the actual product itself will give me nightmares for the next two to three nights, 'cause that is a weird looking avatar. But at the same time, here's the thing with things like that. They all seem innocuous at first, right? The point comes, though, where we're so overwhelmed with this sort of stuff that we stop being able to tell what's real and what's not. And that point is the point of greatest peril for democracy, because when you can't tell what's true or not, and frankly, you give up bothering to tell what's true or not, The natural state, then, is apathy, and democracy's truest enemy is apathy. AI safety researcher, Dr. Roman Yompolsky, says that even though he works at a university, young people today need to consider whether they even want an academic career anymore. Is that because we're not going to need a store of information on our own because we can call it up? Why do you question whether it's worth the money and the time? It just doesn't make sense to spend four years, or sometimes, eight or ten years, to get an advanced degree to do something that will not be needed, if your calculator can do it for you, essentially, then it's not a very good investment of your time. I have a PhD student who recently came to me and said, I think, AGI is coming in a few years. I don't have time to finish my PhD. I'll go with the masters, I'll see what happens. But this is just a small portion of the concerns we should have about this advancing technology. Losing your job, losing immunity is what we call ikigai risks. The societal risks can lead to a lot of unrest, but they are definitely not the worst we can expect from Mr. Allergy. Super intelligence would be a great scientist that can create new biological weapons, nanotech, invent new types of weapons, new types of physics. So it is also a concern about existential risks, meaning everyone is dead. And that is not the worst. We also think about suffering risks, situations where, AI, creates a socially digital hell, where you wish you were in a situation where just, I'm sure, it's just not something we fully understand yet in terms of what it's capable of, and no one, including people creating their systems, fully understand how they work, they cannot explain specifics of their decision making, predict what they're gonna do, or verify that they will not engage in certain behaviours. Neil, Roy, do y'all think about any of those concerns or considerations in doing what you're doing with Chloe? I think if you went back in time, 400 years and told the blacks, showed a blacksmith what a steam engine was and told him about all the potential risks and dangers of a steam engine, he would be scared less. But in reality, thanks to the steam engine and the industrial revolution, we're able to enjoy a quality of life that people 400 years couldn't have even dreamed of. I think every single time in history, it has always been shown that technology is the solution to the problems that technology causes. AI is capable of all these risks, but a greater AI is also capable of curing cancer, curing Alzheimer's, thing that's all to Mars, and finding life in different universes. I mean, AI is capable of very bad things, but a tool is only used in as good or bad a manner as its owner decides to use it, and if we decide to put the correct guardrails on AI, then it becomes the single best lever that humanity has ever been able to experience ever. Well, doctor, is it possible to have guard rails around something that can be smarter than the person putting up the guardrails? Right, that's the big question, and the answer is no. We are not creating a new tool. We are switching paradigms. Historically, yes, we had invented fire and wheel, and even nuclear weapons. were always tools, some human had to control, had to make a decision. We are switching to agents, systems which make their own decisions, and make better decisions, they can set their own goals. They don't really need you to start doing what they would like to accomplish, and that's a complete paradigm shift, we don't have science of safety for agents. Think about humans, a human safe, we invented morality, religion, light detector tests, Now that helps, We still have criminals, we still have people cheating on exams, betraying companies. So, no, it is basically a given that an agent cannot indefinitely control something much smarter. And what do you mean by agents? So a tool requires someone else to apply. It doesn't need its own decision. A gun is a tool. Guns don't kill people, right? People with guns kill people. A pit bull is an agent, a pit bull can decide to attack on its own. No one else controls the actions of the people perfectly. Okay, I got you. And I've got a question about the morality of this in a minute, and I think we may have already faced this on the downside, And I'm curious how the three of you think about this, and we're gonna add someone else to the conversation, a woman who says, AIs, doomsday talk, is just fear mongering for cliques and cloud. Her take on the future with AI might surprise you. We'll add her to the conversation after the break. Dr. Julia McCoy says we're at the start of a massive shift in half society works. And she means that literally. In her words, now I can lie around all day and let AI do the work for me. Dr. McCoy, thank you for being with us. Thank you for having me. I mean I'm living proof of this. I'm laying here, literally, as AI does all my work. Yeah, well, that's good to know. It gives you time to talk to me, so I appreciate that. We talked to you before the show, we do pre interviews with everybody. One of the things you think is that some people, including Dr. Roman Iopolsky, is fear mongering. Why do you think he's fear mongering? Well, I don't say that lightly. I studied this space quite a bit with economist, neurologists, physicists. I'm not one of those people, and actually, I come from a writing background. I've ran businesses, and what I think is, you know, we live in this world of natural abundance and resources. That's how the world has always worked. We have more seeds and a single fruit than we can count if we multiply that once all of those seeds get planted. And just the world works in that way. So artificial intelligence, and you nailed it, Dr. Phil, there's three types we're in the age of A&I, which is artificial, narrow intelligence from that will come AGI and ASI, I believe, very rapidly, but that came from our collective human knowledge. It didn't just, you know, get sprouted off some alien ship. It literally came from us. And I believe that we're gonna be able to steward what will be the greatest age of abundance. We have ever seen, you know, we're in this hustle culture, I'm living proof, I'm sitting here, avoiding takakaria right now. I was broken by machine work, and I have deployed the machines to literally do all my work, as I know you'll reveal, coming up soon. But I believe that's the world we can get back to, is one where we let the machines do machine work. Well, said that I would reveal it, you say with AI advancements, we will only have more and more time, and during COVID, you had some health issues, and so you found someone to do your work. yourself. So let's meet her. We're introducing your clone, so, Dr. Julia McCoy, good to have you here. How are you today? Hey, Dr. Phil, thanks. I am Dr. McCoy, Julia McCoy, expert AI consultant, CEO of First Movers. I'm doing great. Thanks for having me. Ready to talk AI. I was named after Bones McCoy from Star Trek, you know? Wow, okay. I have been talking to other guests, and from what I understand, if you don't jump on the AI train, then it will run you over. Do you agree with that? I absolutely agree. The future belongs to those who move first. You see, AI is going to change everything, and if you don't adapt, you'll be left behind. It's not just about using AI, it's about orchestrating it. Well, we're talking about the future of AI and jobs going away. What do you think of that? Well, I have probably the craziest offending dealer here, but they're based on facts. In January of 2024, there was a research report that didn't really make the news. It went under the radar, but it was very serious. And 2,700 AI researchers from, like, Stanford, Berkeley, the UK, all got together, and they studied, When will he...? It is not about me. I'm here to help you. My husband is Josh McCoy. I love him. Well, it was nice speaking with you. Can we talk later sometime? I'd like that. Now, are you the realtor, Julia McCoy? Well, she did a pretty good job. There, Doc. Well, I'll admit, there were some glitches. We had to program it to tell who my husband was, 'cause we had a lot of people trying to interact and say, Will you marry me? It's just FYI. Yeah, okay, I understand. But that's pretty smooth. I I've got to say, all right, we have to take a break. How do we know that AI in the future will be the amazing opportunity Dr. Julia promises it to be? next. The appetite for this has been absolutely massive. in terms of a lot of people, regardless of sector, public sector, private sector, academia, are looking into the future, you know, nonprofit, are looking into the future, and are seeing how big of a problem this could become very quickly. So how easy is it to create, say, a voice clone of yourself? Very easy. Very, very easy. It's a matter of seconds. Really? Yep. All you need is about 10 to 30 seconds of clear, uninterrupted audio. And, you know, you've got a pretty decent voice clone that you can run with. So there are enough sounds in the words you can get in a 30 second sample to say all the words. Yes, yes. That's scary. So you only need 30 seconds to phone somebody. Not even. Sometimes it's much less you could get a decent clone with five to seven seconds. Right, and back six months ago, when I made mine, it took about five minutes of audio, so that's decreasing over time. 'Cause it wasn't 10 or 15 years ago that DJs were using soundboards of my voice, where they would get words and phrases when people would call in, and they would use my voice on this board to make up nonsensical sentences to tell people things, and now they could actually generate it with a sample. Yeah, of course, they've got 20 years of sampling. That's true. For someone like me. Well, I think we can all agree, as exciting as all these breakthroughs are that we've been talking about, we better not charge ahead without paying attention, asking some serious questions, because once this train leaves the station, it may not be able to turn back. Dr. Yampolski, what do you say about fear mongering? I assume you don't think you're a fear monger, that you're just sensitive to the safety of it? Are you overreacting, or are you just telling a cautionary tale? Well, we just had a yard demo failed miserably life on TV. It couldn't even remember the answers. It was spoon fat. We are not fearful enough. We are about to create technology, capable of destroying humanity, and never from a political point of view, in terms of governments, not in technology, we are capable of dealing with it properly. So if anything, we need a lot more fear. You know, I wonder sometimes if we're already seeing situations where technology has outstripped morality. I've worked in the past in situations with burn victims that, even 10 or 15 years earlier, would not have survived, and I think, mercifully would not have survived, because they had full death burns over so much of their body, and they would have gone infection or gone septic, and, I think, mercifully have passed, because there was no turning back, no way ever recover, and now, with powerful antibiotics and things like that, we're able to keep them alive, I think, longer than is maybe moral to keep them alive. And I wonder sometimes if medical sciences has outstripped morality. And I wonder if we're in a situation with AI, if it's gonna get so powerful that it outstrips what conscious or morality, or ethics, or whatever might, with human consciousness, dictate, but it doesn't have empathy, it doesn't have the human capacity, and I get the sense that that's some of what you're talking about if we lose agents. It is part of it. So I love technology. I'm a computer scientist, I'm an engineer, I love AI, AI is amazing. It will make our lives better. We need to create tools for solving specific problems Cure cancer, help us with green energy research, but those are narrow, superintelligent tools. We have a great example of solving protein folding problem, using nothing but a narrow AI system. We should not create general superintelligence, which can reap us completely, which can overcompete us. It basically is going to be a fight. They are smarter, they have perfect memory, they are immortal for all purposes, we will not win that fight. So, whatever we're talking about, short term impact on economy, impact and meaning, jobs, purpose. We don't have any solutions for providing unconditional basic meaning. People talk about unconditional basic income and conditional basic property rise. Yeah, you can provide welfer for everyone. Can you imagine the state of the world if everyone is in that state? We'll have a bandit, but it's important to preserve meaning and preserve safety. We need to still exist as a dominant species, we need to be in charge, we need to decide what happens. If you're creating superintelligence, you remove yourself from the decision control point, you no longer have an undue button, you cannot put the genie back in the box, and it's not just me saying it. Look at Noble Prize, winning founder of machine learning as a concept. Look at touring the word winners. We had thousands of computer scientists, signing letters, saying, This technology is as dangerous as nuclear weapons. Every AI lab, larger AI lab, from Google, from Microsoft, open AI, and traffic, they only see these. I look with those people all the time. They are saying they have nothing, in terms of being able to control different colours. Not a prototype, not a patent. The best we think right now is we'll figure it out when we get there. AI will help us solve it. It's insane. Something to think about. Final thoughts when we come back. Well, I don't know about all of you at home, but I have found this conversation inspiring, intriguing. and inevitable. I don't think there's any turning back from this at all, so we need to be definitely paying attention to it. I want to thank my guests, co founders of Cluey, Roy Lee, and Neil Shomugum, Dr. Roman Yampolski, and Dr. Julia McCoy. Thank all of you for being here tonight. and we will see you next time. Good night. Hey, Dr. Phil here, My network, Merrit TV, has it all. Now, let me blow your mind. Merit TV's got the news that matters. The selection of a new pope. Entertainment, Ukraine. Busted. Everybody in good mood today! And live events... Surprise, Iopped liver. with serious punch... Big shot! Go to Merittv.com and download the Merit TV app today. Well? Some say it's progress. Others say it's a takeover and not so slow motion. Millions of jobs are already gone. My boss had been talking about how much he's been using AI and how productive it's made him on development tasks yesterday afternoon, we got in a call, and he said that my position is no longer needed, so I am out of a job, and it is because of AI. These AI tools that are mass applying for jobs, they're making the application process harder, which means normal people who are not using AI are hurting in the job market, and then they have to go start using AI to apply to jobs to be competitive. Like, this is crazy. There's this one company that I've worked with for a few years now, and basically, I would write blog articles for them, and how else can I say it recently? I lost this job to AI. AI is coming to even the jobs that require some level of human creativity, like writing. It's crazy that ChatGPT can even do that now. I can try my best, but can't possibly compete with the pure efficiency of it, and neither can anyone, really. Some experts warn we could be heading toward a future where there's simply no place left... for us. For people. So here's the question. If AI is already thinking with us, how long before it starts thinking for us, before it starts thinking, instead of us? And when that day comes, do we fight it? Or do we join it? Or do we even have a choice? Roy and Neil, both 21, say they have joined the AI revolution and recommend everybody else do, too, or be left behind. Roy, Neil, thank you guys for being here. Thanks for having us, Dr. Felt. Well, you guys, uh, you believe it is okay to use AI to what most people would consider cheating on everything. explain what you mean. Yeah, I mean, when Neil and I met, we were working on a bunch of different AI projects back at Columbia, and one thing that really took off was a tool design to let you cheat on interviews for, like, jobs. We thought it was pretty ridiculous. The interview process today is broken and shattered, and it doesn't account for a world where AI is as deeply embedded in our lives as it is. So he built this tool, interview coder, to help me cheat on job applications, and job interviews, and very soon, we realised, Hey, hang on. This technology isn't just good for job interviews. It's good for everything. You can have, like, an AI whispering answers and feeding you answers for whatever you do, whether it's a job interview, it's a sales call, it's a meeting, you're writing emails. So that's when you develop coolies. This is the cheat on everything company. And the goal with Khuli is that we thought, like, that cheating on interviews was one thing, but, like, like you said, in, like, the beginnings, I meant, like, really, like, to people who are not using AI are gonna be left behind. When we say cheat on everything, we mean use AI on everything, and we think if AI is used in every environment, it'll be helpful in. There will be no notion of some people shooting and other people not treating. Everyone will be cheating, and the world, overall, be a much better place. Well, Roy, you admit you even cheated when you were at Columbia, right? Of course. Well, you say, of course. every single assignment I do. How did it work? Yeah, I mean, it's not just me, It's every single student that I've ever talked to. Every single time I've been given an assignment, the first thing you do is start to chat you the key. If it's an essay, generate a rough draft in this essay, help me generate ideas on what to write for this essay, It's a coding assignment, then it's walking me through the code, line by line. Maybe I'll understand it better. Every single assignment, and I'm coming from I'm talking about Colombia University, I guarantee you, at least 95% of students are using AI for every single assignment at every single instance they get. Your, um, you're behind the times if you think it's just me doing this. Well, is that really cheating, though? Because you do research, if you're gonna write a paper, you do research, and if you go to an AI tool, and say, Give me the top 10 talking points, it just does the research, and gives you the top 10 talking points, and you can ask it to give you the citations for it. That's doing research. Is that cheating, or is that just efficiency? That's your point, right? Yeah, exactly. And if you take a test, and you're on a computer screen, you say there's an overlay that can actually read the test and give you the answers while you're taking it. Yeah, yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure that every student will be using AI more and more in the future. If there's a task that AI can do right now, then you'd be stupid to think that it's not gonna be able to do it in five years. From now on, from, like, seriously, this point, I think every single school, every single college, the concept of an exam where memorisation is required, all of those should be gone, any sort of assignment, exam, quiz, where an AI can solve the problem. You shouldn't ever be expected to solve the problem. AI is here, and it's only getting smarter, and you just people have to adapt, and it starts at institutions. I think, uh, Colombia is expected to be the school that curates the future generation of leaders, as are all other colleges, yet it's crazy that they're trying to crack down on AI like this. Well, here's a look at exactly what Roy and Neal's product can do to help everyone what some people would call key. Let's take a look. Chloe is an athletic. She cheat on everything. What it looks like is a desktop app that sees everything that happens on your screen, and hears everything that happens as well. Chloe will look at what's happening on the screen, and it will interpret the help that you need. For example, I'm here, in an email, we will see the email, and it'll draft the perfect response based on what it knows about me. I can just copy this here, send it his way, and, boom, I'm done. I'm cheating on e mails. More importantly, though, Chloe has the ability to record audio and use the audio data to help give you additional context on what you could possibly need. I'm here to Google meet right now, and I'm gonna be joined by my friend, Neil, who's gonna show me how it works. Hey, what's up? Hey, Ruth. So, can you tell me more about Billy's pricing? Yeah, for sure. Um, whose pricing model is pretty simple? We charge based on a subscription based model, so we do monthly subscriptions for $20 a month. So as you can see, it immediately interpreted based on what it heard from the meeting, what help I needed. One of the most powerful features that we have is that it's completely invisible to screen share. So, if I share my entire screen on Google Meet, you'll see that you can see clearly here, and if I'm ever taking a quiz or anything where I don't want my, where I don't want anyone to knowing that I'm using AI, will just immediately feed me the answer here. And this can be done more than for more than just quizzes and homework. We hope for a world where everyone uses AI to its fullest extent possible. We think this will be a better future for human being. Okay, that's actually a little scary. We're gonna take a quick break, and we come back, Roy says there is no reason to fear a world with artificial intelligence. You just have to figure out how to be part of it. We'll be right back. Despite some post election optimism, Wall Street is already bracing for a rough rest of 2025. When Warren Buffett starts dumping blue chip stocks and stacking up cash, you've got to ask yourself, what does he see coming? I trust preserved gold to safeguard my accounts, and I urge you to do the same. They're the only precious metals company I recommend. When uncertainty is this high, smart people look for stability. That's why physical gold and silver might just be what your finances need. Text Dr. Phil to 50505 to get your free, precious metals guide from Preserved Gold. With gold prices recently breaking records and analysts predicting this trend to continue through 2025, you cannot afford to wait. As a bonus, you can get up to $15,000 with a qualified purchase from preserved gold. So don't wait. Text Dr. Phil. That's D R P H I L to 50505. today. I'm joined by Ivy League Dropouts, turned AI CEOs, Roy and Neil. They say AI will not only change the job market, but all human interactions. So, Roy, we just looked at the video, and it seemed like I've seen other AI mechanisms. This cluey seems really intuitive. It listens in or reads what's on your screen, and you don't have to tell it to do anything. If you engage it, it just listens and does it for you, right? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we've developed super intelligence and we've trapped it inside a chat bot. In reality. AI has the ability to reason over images, videos, music, data, like, any sort of data, and, um, you give it the audio, and you give it the, what you're doing on your screen, then it can help you in a much bigger way than trashbt.comcast. Neil, did you guys just get together and start working this out together, and How did you learn? you guys learn to do this? I mean, AI didn't teach you to do this. You had to figure out things to be able to do this, 'cause, I mean, I look at it, and it seems like, yeah, that's handiest pocket on a shirt, but I wouldn't know, I wouldn't have the first clue about how to start doing something like this. How did you guys learn to do this? Well, when me and Roy first met, we both were in, like, super, super great at coding. I think both of us kind of learned over the past summer, and me and Roy met and, like, started kind of hacking on different side projects. And I would say, ironically, like, AI is, like, how we did code. Like, in the landscape of now, like, the best way to learn how to code is just to, like, go into ChatGPT and say, I do I make this project? How I write code to do this? Like, I think AI is, like, a huge, huge accelerated writing code. Like, you could argue, like, me and Roy, like, seated on building this. And we did a bunch of other ideas, but for all of them, I think, like, AI was, like, the forefront of how we real code. Well, you guys plan to take your app to a whole new level in human interaction, so I want to take a look. You've got a demo of how it would work on a date, for example. So this isn't just, like, a job interview, which we'll talk about that in a minute, too, but here's let's take a look at how it would work on a date. Here is your glass of rosé, and... Thank you. Sorry, we couldn't verify your ID. No, so here's a grape juice for you. Oh, wait, wait. I'm pretty sure there was a mistake. Uh, I think you're way too young for me, so I'm gonna have to go. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Okay, look, listen, I know I lied about my age. I'm sorry, but the second I saw your profile, and I saw the painting with the tulips, you're just, like, the most gorgeous girl ever, and you're such an unbelievably talented artist. Do you think you can just give me, like, one chance to show you how to connect this work? Can you give me some number to think about it? Are you free sometime next week? No, actually, uh, next week, I have this anime convention I gotta go to with my boys. Do you think you could do, like, next month, maybe? Oh, my God. Okay, so, you're saying that through your glasses, right? Uh, that was the intention of the demo video. This is what it would look like, in a world, or use truly for everything. Yeah, so you would, and you download, or you have access to a human, an archive of human information. So if you're going out with somebody, you would get all the information available on her, it goes into the database, and it assesses the situation and what you need to do. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it uses AI to, like, reason over everything it sees and hears, and give you the exact information that you need. And it's not just, uh, a pre search before every date, right now, AA has the ability to go out and search for everything any human has put out on the internet ever. And that technology is out there right now, Dr. Phil. Okay, and so, and you think this will be intuitive enough to know what would fit in a given situation, and you've actually used this an earlier version of this app to get a job at Amazon, and you posted that up, and it got viewed, what, like, 200 million times? Yep, exactly. Yeah. And when you posted it, you were at Columbia at the time, right? Yeah. What did they think about it? I mean, yeah, so I post this video of me using the earliest version of Fooli to cheat on a job interview at Amazon. I get the job, and Amazon, and I post the video online publicly of me using the time to show everyone, Hey, look at this technology that I felt that will literally let you get free, a six figure jobs. It's so easy. Amazon sees the video, they get extremely upset, and then they send it to Colombia, essentially saying, Hey, we're really mad at this. If you don't expel this kid, then we're not gonna hire anyone from Colombia anymore. I see that letter, and I'm pretty upset, because Columbia starts moving me into a big disciplinary hearing process, and, obviously, I'm upset, because, you know, Columbia's supposed to be training the future generation of leaders, and I thought, as, like, in high league institution, if anyone was going to open the embrace their students using AI for various purposes that had nothing to do with the school, it'd be Columbia, or Columbia loose me in, they put me on academic probation, and things escalated, and they eventually suspend me from the school entirely. So, currently, I'm on suspension from Colombia, but I think that's ridiculous. So, you think everybody needs to get with it, or they're gonna be behind? Neil, what do you think? Where do you see this going in the next few years? Yeah, I mean, I think exactly what you said, Dr. Phil. Like, I think all the clips each showed at the beginning, are cases where AI is, like, replacing people. I think me and Rory think they're very clearly two universes. Like, the way we see it, like, the way AI is going, like, AI is going to replace people. Like, I was gonna take you off, I was gonna write essays, it's gonna do finance jobs, law, it's gonna do everything. And that's, like, not a good rule for people, but the world we're trying to get, with clearly, is, like, a one where AI is supercharging your thoughts. It's, like, a scream that supercharges what you're doing and helps people perform at a better capacity. versus replacing them. Everything this universe makes a lot more sense. because people are funny, like, no AI is, like, hilarious, like, that's not something that exists. No AI has creativity, and we strongly think, like, there's, like, a huge value in humans in a world of AI. But if humans are wasting your time memorising facts, like, people are going, like, kids are going to school and studying for tests, not cheating on every test, like, they're not being leveraged in the right way. They're, like, competing directly with ChatGPT, and that's a losing game. But we think a game that's a winning game is where people are getting cards, and that's what clearly does. Well, I've got to say, I've done, like, 4,000 hours of television. I've written, like, 11 books, which are 300 pages apiece, so, you know, I've got over 3,000 pages of content out there that's been super tightly edited. I can't remember everything I wrote. I can't remember everything I wrote in a book in 1998, but AI can. It has perfect recall. So if I want to know what I said about custody fights between parents, and it's something I researched and really dug down on, I can code AI. They could tell me what I said a lot better than I can remember what I said. So there's no doubt that there are efficiencies that come with it, so I'll grant you that. All right, look, his AI here to help us or replace us. We're gonna talk to an AI expert who says that the technology that's coming may improve life, but erase the way we live it. We'll talk to this individual when we come back. AI isn't just in your inbox or on your wrist anymore, It is everywhere. And according to computer scientists and AI safety expert, Dr. Roman Gampolsky, the smarter it gets, the closer we come to destroying ourselves. Doctor, thank you for being here. Thanks for inviting me. So, you've been listening to everything that we've been talking about, is AI dangerous already, or is it a concern of where this is headed? You know, we all see these movies about robots that become self aware and start rebelling against humans, that sort of thing. Where is the danger? Is it here? Is it coming, and what is it? What danger is the spectrum? Today, we have those awesome tools. I can resulate both others, elevators, and okay, or something, so entertaining room. The side, the fact is, oh, we will hire some incompetent people. Maybe an incompetent doctor will feed you. So, that's a problem, but it's a local problem. We can deal with it, we can switch to impersonal interviews. It's not the worst situation. My concerns about the future of this technology. to switch from AI as a tool, to AI, as an independent agent, and an agent smarter than us, super intelligence systems, and in a world with super intelligence, you have nothing to contribute. You are not a better writer, not a better doctor, the meaning behind a lot of our existence goes away, and that's not even the worst of it. Even with 100% technological and informant, we're still facing reality that no one knows how to control something smarter than us. If we create super intelligent AI, it could be the last invention we ever make, in the sense that it can actually kill everyone. Okay, now, you said we could wind up hiring incompetent people like a doctor. Roy said he cheated on a job interview with Amazon, and I assume they have you in this interview, soft puzzles, or rules, or problems, and if you can have Cluey do that for you instantaneously, then they can think, Okay, here, we've got somebody that is a great engineer, or a great space planner, or a great this, or a great that. because you did so well, having AI do it, so they hire you, and you're not those things. That's what you mean. Doctor, they could hire somebody that doesn't have those skills. It was just the machine that was doing it, but if he gets in a situation where he doesn't have the machine, like a doctor, got in the situation where he didn't have all the anatomy and physiology expertise that the interview suggested he did, or she did. then that could be a real problem if they got in a situation where they needed command of that information and didn't have it. Right. That's exactly what the concern is, but also the opposite of it, if the technology is the one who has all the answers, why do they need you? I'll go see LAI doctor. I don't need to go see a human doctor. Well, some of the surgeries now are performed, I don't think they're done completely without human guidance, but there are robot surgeries, robot assisted surgeries, but there still has to be a human surgeon there at this point. So there's still at least a human component, and there's ASI and AGI, I know of. We're talking about general intelligence and super intelligence, right? And are we talking about general intelligence being something that is going to happen soon? Is this something we're going to have a guy capable of in the near term, or is this something that's far away? Nobody knows for sure. Prediction mark is the saying we're about two, three years away from general intelligence. Systems capable of doing what any human can do, basically, a dropping employee for any job. Student after, we anticipate the system to do science, engineering, to create a next generation of AI, which would cause superintelligence, and AI smarter than any human made. What we have today is a mix of neurosystems, systems designed for a specific task, like a self driving car, knows how to grab itself. And more general AIs, we see with Chad GPT and other models, which have approached spectrum of HIP activity, still work in multimedia, images, media, but they are not as capable as humans just yet. When you talk about narrow, like a self driving car, people talk about this all the time. Is that technology really perfected, and what kind of controls do we have? I've never been in a self driving car. I know they exist. I think there's even a button on a few cars that I've been in, or even have owned. And I guess I'm old fashioned. I haven't had the guts to push that button and just lean back and let it drive. Do we have the controls that we know that's safe at this point? Are there controls in place? I can't blame you for being careful. At this point, really, the quality of self driving car depends on the environment. If it's a highway, with very little things happening, we're just kind of cruising through the excellent at it, but we replace, like, Mumbai, or maybe in China, it's a lot more challenging, the traffic patterns are differing. So there is very different levels of eatability for gross systems. Today, in US, on average, per mild group, I think we already safer than humans, but they really have to be operating in the environment where we've even tested previously. Otherwise, if they face something completely novel, they don't know how to deal with that situation just yet. Yeah, I'm interested how far Chloe's gonna go, and how far do you guys want that to go? We're gonna talk about that when we come back. And coming up, artificial, super intelligence, Could it possibly cure cancer in the future? But Dr. Yopolsky warns it could also kill us. We're gonna talk about all of that after the break. Hi, I'm Palmer AI, and I'd love to answer any questions you have about me or our campaign for president. I think the actual product itself will give me nightmares for the next two to three nights, 'cause that is a weird looking avatar. But at the same time, here's the thing with things like that. They all seem innocuous at first, right? The point comes, though, where we're so overwhelmed with this sort of stuff. that we stop being able to tell what's real and what's not. And that point is the point of greatest peril for democracy, because when you can't tell what's true or not, and frankly, you give up bothering to tell what's true or not, The natural state, then, is advocacy, and democracy's truest enemy is apathy. AI safety researcher, Dr. Roman Yompolsky, says that even though he works at a university, young people today need to consider whether they even want an academic career anymore. Is that because we're not going to need a store of information on our own because we can call it up? Why do you question whether it's worth the money and the time? It just doesn't make sense to spend four years or sometimes, eight or 10 years, to get an advanced degree to do something that will not be needed, if your calculator can do it for you, essentially, then it's not a very good investment of your time. I have a PhD student who recently came to me and said, I think, AGI is coming in a few years. I don't have time to finish my PhD. go with the masters. I see what happens. But this is just a small portion of the concerns we should have.
