see a an animal average kid see and pet adoption group put a security robot to work outside its facilities in the gentrifying mission neighborhood the robots presence is meant to deter homeless people from setting up camps along the sidewalks so the robot is known as canine and it's there to prevent crime while this is obviously part of a dystopian nightmare where robo cop you have autonomous robots and machines and drones targeting human beings economically they're not participating in the grid they haven't purchased anything in six hours therefore they must be homeless therefore they must be killed and swept up into an open pit lighter fluid doused on them set a fire and what's great is that these new autonomous robots will probably be all jacked up with face recognition technology and all kinds of databases so

they'll just come up to be like hey bob. we notice you haven't bought anything in your credit card in over fourteen hours so you're no longer used to society and then they put a hypodermic needle and they inject him with cyanide and they sweep this mess and i hope all merry christmas emphasis on green so i think green is people so of course . they do have all our tracking devices in our smartphones are keeping gas where you follow me that's why they don't want to go to the streets but in terms of this canine robot when our robot overlords become word mance this one's not quite advanced because it was deterred show you the interesting merry christmas story here is that the canine robot circling the san francisco p.c.a. has drawn mixed responses within the first week of the robots appointment some people who are setting up a homeless encampment nearby allegedly quote put a tarp over it knocked it over and put barbecue sauce on all the sensors cording to jennifer scarlett the president of the s.p.c.

a right where they are damaging corporate property which is becoming a felony so then the next row flying robot was moved in and the flying armada of tanks moves and the aerial bombardment of hell fire missiles is targeting remember a song about homo says because there is no such thing as home i mean we're all on planet earth we all share the same home it's about commerciality if you're not if you're not using your credit card that's defined as quote unquote homelessness and you're no longer used to society you're not putting yourself into debt if you're growing your own food if you're sustainable in any way you are targeted for death this is the new eugenics slash fascism which is coming out of the global elites in order to keep their sidewalks clear so that may better access their. you know castles made from all the ill gotten gains that they've stripped out of the economy over the last thirty years thanks to a corrupt fed and central bank policy ok so now we're moving on from magical thinking to on real thinking our own real reality and that is. is this city and

alaska is warming so fast algorithms removed the data because it seemed unreal last week scientists were pulling together the latest data for know was monthly report on the climate when they noticed something strange one of their key climate monitoring stations had fallen off the map all of the data for barrow alaska the northernmost city in the united states was missing and this was because the temperature in barrow was rising so fast that the data was automatically flagged as real and removed from the climate database it was done by algorithms that were put in place to ensure that only the best data gets included and no as reports there handy to keep the data sets clean but this kind of quality control algorithm is only good in average situations with no outliers the current situation

in barrow alaska however is anything but average an algorithm is white this town off the map off the data doesn't exist. this of course could help many people would like to deny. that there is no warming in alaska even though you can see we all saw the video of the polar bear starving to death right before christmas we also can see even from the photo in this article that barrel aska has no snow it's no less and it's the northern was town in america where you can you can deny reality all you want and it seems the algorithms i will help you maybe they don't want you to do anything to fix it maybe because these robot overlords want to take over in the first story we have robots that can drive away the homeless so you can pretend that there are no homeless that there is no poverty created by silicon valley and blah blah blah well it's the equivalent of a head donek adjustments you know in economics when the government doesn't want to pay any more to social security recipients than they can or they don't want to pay

the cost of living adjustments so they change the way they calculate inflation by substituting what's at stake for hamburger is a classic example let's call it doc adjustment and then they look at that data they say see inflation is not. accelerating so we're not going to raise rates we're not going to have to pay any more money out for cost of living because there is no cost of living increase you see that's what the data tells us so here you've got manmade global warming incinerating planet earth and causing an eco hole a cost but the corporations feel like you know what that might cost us a penny at the end of the year so we do have donek adjustment to our algorithm it will take out the city of alaska that would flag us to take action appropriate for survival of the species and we're going to instead rely on our balance sheet and our algorithm like a good g.p.s. monitoring a car that's pointing over a cliff they're saying i don't care if the cliff is there my algorithm says it's not there so i keep driving and going to a film and always going to go right over the cliff because after the data tells me

i'm now flaming ball of wreckage at the bottom of the canyon i'm dead i'm incinerated i'm cooked but you know what i did it because yeah for the algorithm i salute the algorithm to heck with america jack with people to act with symbols. numbers are my god numbers are the key i support the numbers even if it kills me as we established at the top of the show santa claus is real a lot of people think it's magical thinking but he is up in the arctic circle so there could be as a real world consequence of this absence of snow up a parallel aska is that he might not know it's christmas because he assumes you know once the snow comes that's when all my little helpers come out and help me and i put together all the packages of our christmas presents on the back of the sleigh and then rudolph you know flies us around the world and we deliver all these packages but he doesn't see the snow we might not get our presents well rudolph is transitioning this year. becoming a different species well you better not become a polar bear this is not good for them though

a red nose to help santa through the storm because there is no storm there is no christmas. just a grinch a great range of cries that you were on the great kaiser board is going to be no christmas this year has been cancelled and then finally here's another a fantasy i guess it looks like that oh susan whoville going to be torched all this so the lorax is gone all these robots and algorithms taking over of course apparently they also need to be entertained and amused just like humans algorithms oh may i artificially to be able to change robots well that's what this next headline suggests here's what happens if you let a whimsical robot write the next harry potter chapter watch out writers artificial intelligence is coming for our jobs just take a look at this chapter of harry potter fan fiction the robot called it harry potter and the portrait of what looked like a large pile of ashes is

a three page after of literature produced by an algorithm trained by bought an excuse on the meat of rao wings expanse of magical universe as an author assistant predictive text document creator jamie brew and. other writers help nudge the algorithm in the right direction the result is just as weird and uncomfortably for some of us readable as you might expect filled with the characters and whimsical vocabulary notable to rousing the logical plot however is not as great a strain so it does like come up with a whole bunch of bizarre sentences and realities of worlds we might be replaced you know barneys it all the way and doris you know and naked lunch and other classic texts i think he was stoned right there be a crisis he was on heroin. you know ripping apart of pages and counting them and rearranging them in the collage technical literature and fantastical nature of his otherworldly. science fiction informing us about the future that it would be

without any connection to what we would identify as human species as we become cyborgs and it's going to be harry potter and the flaming train wreck as the future comes out as breakneck speed and just plows over everybody with futuristic police bots injecting cyanide into our children and processing them from frozen food you have fetuses armed with guns shooting at people so that they're not aborted they're going to actually shoot people trying to abort them with a gun wielding fetuses that's going to happen in twenty eighteen i predict. no merry christmas everybody out there and being a new year also do for the second half a whole lot more coming your way. about

one hundred. i did not of. this missile but i came to most of the steps lot. of study out of. them. that and it doesn't it doesn't assume from the amounts anything even that i don't know if you look at it that something is innocent. and the most will go down. as become a. commitment in. terms. of some. mccown some have almost all of them some of it

and they get. counted on i. know up in. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. is there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. this man phoned his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing in order to go. you know having some like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution. me house on city parking space is not

a solution. someone wanted touring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and this is there a better alternative to end the homelessness. crisis. it's all to see we have a great team but we need to strengthen before the freefall world cold and your backs have been a legend to keep it so it's at the back. in one thousand nine hundred two that must qualify for the european championships at the very last moment no one believed in us but we won and i'm hoping to bring some of that winning spirit to the r.c.t. . recently i've had a lot of practice so i can guarantee you that peter schmeichel will be on the best fall since my last will come on that story as well as the. thousand little jokes i was only kidding here i called rush hour.

drive. left left left more or less ok stop that's really good. hey welcome back to the kaiser report i macs guys are time now to continue our conversation jim records author and now he's a big data guy and it wasn't just now big data welcome back thank you max just to wrap up from our previous conversation you know you he went to the intelligence community and he said hey you know markets start off a lot of data and if you know how to read it correct it helps you know predict the future or as you would say wall street discount the future and then you read a lot more data and you've come up with this. and you are the chief global strategist there and artificial intelligence wouldn't touch on that at all and so does that a key part of the product as such right this is actually where the quote artificial

intelligence is really third wave so first the first wave is sort of you know big data second wave was machine learning so that the machine with conclusions which would then it would simply put it back into the room so now the machine is teaching it so third wave is external inputs from something like watson there are other machines are kind of to read plain language so you know every every ten q. . you know all the you know ten k.'s footnotes hundreds of millions of pages of information you can read a lot more than any of this or all wall street combined could do for meaning we're working with a finnish team of cognitive scientists linguists to to advance this to the or in terms of word identification like i could write code this is no way for macs and cars are in the same sentence probably you ok but you get way more sophisticated in that we're doing all of that. is there a risk i just saw a video on of it was china you know they had their. remarkable data gathering

ability. they are essentially surveying the entire population. they people living there have given up the notion of privacy more or less just said you know we're going to. privacy completely to the state and. is this a risk in other words you're in the intelligence community you're looking for attack vector you're looking to keep everybody safe from the trade off is that you put in a lot of data and there it's coming from a lot of sources social media obviously we're people are pouring in their lives into social media and you know how much privacy factor how do you weigh in on that is it or is it the same world we lived in thirty or forty years ago is the world changed or are these things still valuable it's absolutely changed radically it's not the same where we lived and thirty years ago it is in some ways the human nature doesn't judge human nature hasn't changed in fifty thousand years we're we're base of the ice age k.

people could digression but if so many machines are imploding the data aren't we in fact leaving kind of a human based. society and moving more toward a machine basis idealizations are informing the data and then the data is making decisions based on the machines who are then taking that data and acting out their machine worlds and then it goes in this loop feedback loop of machines to machines are we advocating our humanity here a big guy and the whole you know you're already here you're a christian you know you're a big fan of jesus you know this is this seems like we're forsaking our humanity for the for the for the mark of the beast this is the devil jim are you are you caving into the devil came into the devil but i think you're on to something your description of this and this were a curse word because the singularity is the merger of man and machine so and you know this is pro-trade in the blade runner of twenty forty nine which i saw those great move by the way everyone hated it i just i love i love three hour movies

where nothing happens i was kind of but it was it was very very deep in the you know that's what we're merger now we're. in the government's mob this of course but the private part of it from you know the google face but we don't know who they are yahoo and all that. and we just did money like crazy and you know on the books about a lot of books you know buy a book and says oh you bought this one might want to buy this one so well often it's you know that's interesting and maybe i will buy it so they're obviously on the something privacy's gone. like i said just a stickler just a facade otherwise the question was one of privacy and you have a feeling there is a privacy has gone wrecked and you feel comfortable with that and no i don't and i'm acknowledging your point i know that the trade off for security is privacy in other words if i felt like i would be surveyed last in another nine eleven what happened i'm since i'm a new yorker i say i don't give up i don't care let another nine eleven happened because you know stuff happens big big deal you know i don't get it i don't understand of the response to nine eleven i began to use ears which i was may i was i would not care if the n.s.a.

surveyed everything i do they don't actually do that but they you know they they suck up a lot of medic data we are i wouldn't really care about that if i had confidence that it was only being used for national security purposes but i don't we saw during the obama administration with you know lois lerner's surveillance the tea party and prosecutions general petraeus international says i'm not saying that they both pleaded guilty or must and they do anything wrong i'm saying they were singled out for political reasons there's a lot of that so i have no confidence that while the government collecting the data ostensibly for national security purposes all it takes is somebody like obama and valerie jarrett to target you and then all of a sudden that's a whole different world so that's troubling to me the other thing i think we're people can resort so felt this stuff is addictive and that's you know it's just very basic biochemistry so you know why are people there to her long as it feels good well that's you know endorphins and things well those indoor friends are triggered by a lot of things other than drugs and there are sex addicts their alcohol addicts

are gambling addicts there are many many kinds of behavior that are all addictive that same biochemistry or it's pretty clear at this point that the whole thing the thing in your hand so i've started just you know i go out leave my cell phone home you know just try doing that more and more by social media. they were against a higher touches on the same and the art of this is right i think so somewhere it is addictive in that we would think that it's the devices themselves back to the world for most people so marshall mcluhan's of the medium is the message it wasn't so much the content was the medium that you were getting it through somehow your arguments in new york were can down here to the studio today and i have myself in my pocket was often turned on later but if it's working well he was you know you all know it by talk to bridger i recall the blue faces poor people in the back of the car in the row stare of the screens in their faces or blue in the dark with an auto rather understood so so you're you've opened up a thought here the where you have your conflicted your so you feel a bit conflicted about all this others if the dividing line for you is that the data has to be safe and used for that's

a national strategic interests sure ok but you know the data gets hacked all data gets hacked right we haven't seen a database not get hacked the government database has to know that you're going to be on your own obama does say targeting folks i mean obviously that's clearly a dictatorial breach of the constitution to act. with as bad but there but the data gets hacked all the time so how do you resolve a conflict over do you feel comfortable that your work which is heavily dependent on data surveillance in the end you've given up on privacy and you admitted that this is seemingly like with the work of the devil how do you use your own records you know what we're what institution in america today do you trust in other words you trust the system and you can say you know what all the stuff troubles me but i know that x. is unimpeachable and i'm and i salute the flag to that what is that institutional

i'm a member of the most counter-cultural organization on earth which is the catholic church were so out of fashion with your conventional wisdom so that's that's an institution i trust but getting back to my work versus the work of the n.s.a. we're using completely. open source data so we're we buy a price free from the chicago mercantile exchange in your star anybody can do outside free but anybody can get that information you know twitter is out there if i you know i use twitter a lot i have an open twitter account you don't have to belong to twitter to be my counsel i choose to put that information out there and so do hundreds of millions of other people so if that's really where the processing algorithms are troubling to you know they are those can be programmed to make money on wall street you know they pick a price and then they do the trades and meet that price sure they manipulate markets so it will go the algorithms can be used to manipulate social behavior you know facebook card manipulating social behavior i was in this way absolutely right so you're right you're developing a little more sophisticated weaponized version of this with this product in fact getting into some more trouble we're doing something very specific which is you

know i'm going to whether it's going to be tomorrow dance or whether it's going to be in six months where the fed's going to do in six months you know how the economy is going to do those are we're sort of along or kind of intermediates a longer range predictive analytics and capital markets we're not trying to sell you a book we're not trying to you know we offer this to us to try to sort of act or you say oh there's a bomb coming in from jihadi ok we predict it so we're going to drown them ok does the database say wow you know we invaded their country a few years ago to take all their oil and resources and we're addict out of control empire and work murdering people for money this is a model suggests that maybe the actions of the u.s. military should be curbed in that sense and maybe there should be a more comprehensive foreign policy that doesn't prize a genocide in this way but ok so we're not policymakers can't tell the pentagon what is in the data if the data is blind and it just looks a specific outcomes you're facilitating and exacerbating

a failed policy and you making death for a higher a norm normalising and one thing we don't do is get our blood pressure of we're analysts we get that we get the information we do we do consider geopolitics additional capital. markets i can't tell rex tillerson what to do in north korea i can't tell general mattis was doing korea but we can analyze it using a basis to this is a priority hypothesis but the probability war in north korea we update the probability all the time actually within the last twenty four hours my probability we're going to korea which was seventy percent went down a little bit extended the timeline i had before the end of march now kind of grabs a summer based on some things that rex tillerson said yesterday to the end of council that's an example of good basing updating don't get married to a particular conclusion but increase or decrease the probabilities based on income do so we do analyze it we do advise clients to know what we see coming but we don't change the outcome i'm not sometimes are saying that i'm not pushing the chairs on a drone missile sometimes we get a rent a car we did the geo locating system i never gives out working and i says drive

into that brick wall drive into the rehearsal i override this is this happened to me recently i was with my wife we were in australia we were in the outback we had to drive a really very bright guy a nice guy could have been nicer but he had one of those g.p.s. kind of things we're driving all the sudden he turns off the main highway we're going to dirt road and then gets on the tertiary road and i'm like is this guy going to take it somewhere or turn around shoot isn't robison what's going on or similar to nice guy he gets to offensive. things as i can keep going but i can hear the turnaround right away almost like i might so it would your right but i never do i use maps i'm actually a little you're not hearing. my point is i want to cut on a couple of things here on the kaiser four years ago the u.s. first pulled the trigger on weaponize and swift remember with all international you know i guess they're ready for a while. and you any of the alternative you predicted that alternative payment systems would erupt that's kind of what's happening right correct iran russia

venezuela these countries that are being sanctioned and they're abusing swift they did invent ink thanks to algorithms thank this technology thanks to crypto currencies they're inventing their parallel systems sure it's not a good. front nuff within the states is good for them i mean this is this is geo political hardball i'm on the the border thanks to washington called the center for sanctions and a list of finance and my colleagues are great people these are people who kind of invented the financial war on terror meaning they were they were in the white house in the treasury after nine eleven during the bush administration all the laws that that we live with today the other wrote those laws or what the regulations are of course and they've been extremely effective the stuff is really powerful but i tell them because what you wish for because if you keep hammering people with this disrupting them which you've done the number of countries they're going to do the work around where they're almost there so i would expect russia and china to come up with the serial leisure technology not because of by the way because it's a sideshow a serial ledger i mean i mean they say this is a bit of the that's the new name for the deal if you like to religious technology

just a real leisure military grade encryption and maybe we'll have a putin corners equal won't be because of the club of their own coin and then transact among themselves right so maybe russia is paying for china with this putin coin and china so when that spells it the dollar is a certain rexx which if we nicked it for any extra that's where it is now happening technologically and that's and that's and so your view as as a predictive analytic guy is that that six deaths becoming a bigger factor does a b. us and we've got to go actually fortunately we're out of time are already time thanks for being on thanks matt west and if that's the edition of the kaiser report with me max kaiser stacy i would like to thank our guests jim records if you want to catch us on twitter it's kaiser report in the next on bio.

small room good i'm. stupid to eighty. thousand. east of. into piqua and the so the four hellish toso is a civilization just a tiny bit more advanced than we are that they can already pick up jerry springer or any other sitcoms interview shows the nightly news they see what we're doing to

our planet you know it isn't really a very pretty picture and so in addition to sending this chaotic mass of jews that we use to communicate with one another we want to send a clear signal to the extraterrestrial that there's also some rationality on the world. how does it feel to be a share of the greatest job in the world it's as close to being a king as any job there is what business model helps to run a prison now we just do or don't like is there no b.o.b. is the case and i don't know what comes in it well we don't have to search for me anymore is cost effective that's what they want to do that knowing they don't give a damn if you did chores or not they're actually paying us to put it back into the louisiana incarceration rate is twice as high as the u.s. and preach what secret is behind such success.
