00:00:39,590 --> 00:00:36,780 your thoughts and when Joe came and 12 00:00:43,069 --> 00:00:39,600 visited me here in Ohio he had his own 13 00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:43,079 experience about uh communication or you 14 00:00:47,209 --> 00:00:44,520 know these devices or just the internet 15 00:00:49,670 --> 00:00:47,219 in general being able to put something 16 00:00:51,590 --> 00:00:49,680 in front of your face like an ad on your 17 00:00:53,750 --> 00:00:51,600 cell phone about something you were 18 00:00:57,470 --> 00:00:53,760 thinking about and maybe it's it's kind 19 00:00:59,869 --> 00:00:57,480 of like an object or an item that you 20 00:01:02,750 --> 00:00:59,879 haven't thought about you have never 21 00:01:05,929 --> 00:01:02,760 purchased or even mentioned around your 22 00:01:07,969 --> 00:01:05,939 cell phone but it was able to 23 00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:07,979 um be seen by you in an ad that happened 24 00:01:11,450 --> 00:01:09,840 to you Joe with like a back scratcher 25 00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:11,460 right it was the back scrubber the one 26 00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:12,720 where you have the two Handles in the 27 00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:14,340 shower and you can get your 28 00:01:19,010 --> 00:01:16,740 yeah yeah and you never bought one 29 00:01:21,410 --> 00:01:19,020 before you never uh thought about it 30 00:01:23,870 --> 00:01:21,420 before that I thought about it I thought 31 00:01:26,030 --> 00:01:23,880 about it okay but it was like I was in 32 00:01:27,289 --> 00:01:26,040 Austin uh for whatever reason at a 33 00:01:29,690 --> 00:01:27,299 concert or something I was just thinking 34 00:01:31,969 --> 00:01:29,700 like I never really washed my back and 35 00:01:34,429 --> 00:01:31,979 then like a week or two later it was on 36 00:01:36,770 --> 00:01:34,439 an Instagram ad 37 00:01:38,569 --> 00:01:36,780 um and we had uh recently uh and I 38 00:01:41,690 --> 00:01:38,579 forwarded you guys the email someone was 39 00:01:43,550 --> 00:01:41,700 something similar happened to a listener 40 00:01:46,370 --> 00:01:43,560 of ours but he was he was talking about 41 00:01:50,109 --> 00:01:46,380 stuff he was listening to a weird song 42 00:01:52,789 --> 00:01:50,119 uh like a a chipmunk version of a song 43 00:01:54,350 --> 00:01:52,799 and he played it for a few friends but 44 00:01:56,749 --> 00:01:54,360 then next thing you know it was that 45 00:02:00,170 --> 00:01:56,759 very song by I think Belinda Carlisle 46 00:02:02,630 --> 00:02:00,180 was being recommended to him on Reddit 47 00:02:04,310 --> 00:02:02,640 and it's possible that the algorithm was 48 00:02:07,010 --> 00:02:04,320 smart enough to detect like a speed 49 00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:07,020 change and a song and serve it to him 50 00:02:11,449 --> 00:02:09,720 um but then I was also tagged in a one 51 00:02:14,210 --> 00:02:11,459 or two other things on Twitter of people 52 00:02:16,250 --> 00:02:14,220 experiencing the cell phone or the 53 00:02:18,650 --> 00:02:16,260 smartphone reading your thoughts like 54 00:02:21,949 --> 00:02:18,660 that and I did a little bit of digging 55 00:02:24,949 --> 00:02:21,959 on this to see if it's just a bunch of 56 00:02:26,150 --> 00:02:24,959 craziness am I am I so far out there to 57 00:02:28,010 --> 00:02:26,160 think that these things can actually 58 00:02:30,229 --> 00:02:28,020 read your thoughts or is there something 59 00:02:32,809 --> 00:02:30,239 uh else going on here really good 60 00:02:37,369 --> 00:02:32,819 technology just confirmation biased or 61 00:02:39,050 --> 00:02:37,379 whatever so on the subject of 62 00:02:41,869 --> 00:02:39,060 just reading thoughts well there's quite 63 00:02:45,170 --> 00:02:41,879 a few stories out there of people 64 00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:45,180 that have this very experience so uh 65 00:02:50,210 --> 00:02:47,640 this is from uh quora I don't know who 66 00:02:52,790 --> 00:02:50,220 goes to core anymore besides like me I 67 00:02:55,729 --> 00:02:52,800 guess to look for these kind of things 68 00:02:57,050 --> 00:02:55,739 but this one is uh here's the the 69 00:03:00,110 --> 00:02:57,060 question 70 00:03:03,050 --> 00:03:00,120 is can smartphones read or read our 71 00:03:04,729 --> 00:03:03,060 minds I sometimes see ads about the 72 00:03:07,190 --> 00:03:04,739 things that I had thought in my mind 73 00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:07,200 which I have never searched in the 74 00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:10,200 internet or have even spoken out loud 75 00:03:15,949 --> 00:03:13,200 and there's quite a few uh entries on 76 00:03:17,750 --> 00:03:15,959 this so here's one by Jules uh so 77 00:03:19,309 --> 00:03:17,760 earlier today I had a random thought 78 00:03:21,649 --> 00:03:19,319 that I'd like to know how to make 79 00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:21,659 chocolate fudge cupcakes I never 80 00:03:26,270 --> 00:03:23,640 discussed this with any anyone or 81 00:03:28,130 --> 00:03:26,280 searched anything I never made a cupcake 82 00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:28,140 in my life then tonight on Google news 83 00:03:33,949 --> 00:03:30,720 feed I see an advertisement for a recipe 84 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:33,959 for chocolate fudge cupcake with a photo 85 00:03:39,229 --> 00:03:36,720 of a cupcake exactly like the picture I 86 00:03:40,970 --> 00:03:39,239 had in my mind I'm spooked how the hell 87 00:03:44,210 --> 00:03:40,980 does this happen 88 00:03:45,949 --> 00:03:44,220 and then another person uh chimes in uh 89 00:03:48,050 --> 00:03:45,959 I was searching for something like this 90 00:03:50,449 --> 00:03:48,060 because this literally just happened to 91 00:03:52,369 --> 00:03:50,459 me I was researching tech jobs while in 92 00:03:54,410 --> 00:03:52,379 bed then fell asleep for a few minutes 93 00:03:57,170 --> 00:03:54,420 weirdly enough I started dreaming about 94 00:03:59,330 --> 00:03:57,180 building Lego pieces I wake up go to 95 00:04:02,210 --> 00:03:59,340 Instagram sure enough I'm greeted with 96 00:04:03,309 --> 00:04:02,220 an advertisement for Legos 97 00:04:06,050 --> 00:04:03,319 how often do you see Instagram 98 00:04:07,789 --> 00:04:06,060 advertising or advertising Lego so I'm 99 00:04:10,429 --> 00:04:07,799 kind of with them on that one 100 00:04:11,869 --> 00:04:10,439 uh and there's just a bunch more like 101 00:04:14,509 --> 00:04:11,879 this these people sharing their 102 00:04:15,949 --> 00:04:14,519 experiences of never speaking anything 103 00:04:18,289 --> 00:04:15,959 out loud 104 00:04:21,229 --> 00:04:18,299 uh not really searching for these items 105 00:04:22,850 --> 00:04:21,239 and then when they hop on the old cell 106 00:04:24,170 --> 00:04:22,860 phone uh they're being greeted with 107 00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:24,180 advertisements about the very product 108 00:04:26,990 --> 00:04:25,560 that they were thinking about or 109 00:04:29,570 --> 00:04:27,000 dreaming about 110 00:04:31,370 --> 00:04:29,580 uh it's happened to me it's happened to 111 00:04:33,469 --> 00:04:31,380 my wife it's happened to happen to Joe 112 00:04:34,969 --> 00:04:33,479 uh I've had we've had people writing to 113 00:04:37,969 -->

00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:42,300 probably happens so much at this point 117 00:04:45,650 --> 00:04:44,160 it fits with the uh 118 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:45,660 thing I always talk about with 119 00:04:48,770 --> 00:04:47,280 Battlefield and then you think about 120 00:04:52,909 --> 00:04:48,780 predictive text 121 00:04:54,890 --> 00:04:52,919 the the machine learning as they'll call 122 00:04:56,810 --> 00:04:54,900 it it's they are they're trying to 123 00:04:59,090 --> 00:04:56,820 anticipate where you're going to go next 124 00:05:01,670 --> 00:04:59,100 they're a couple steps

00:05:50,029 --> 00:05:47,940 phones reading your thought uh thoughts 146 00:05:51,770 --> 00:05:50,039 or thoughts or dreams whatever uh here's 147 00:05:53,870 --> 00:05:51,780 a headline is uh 148 00:05:58,249 --> 00:05:53,880 this is Facebook is working on 149 00:06:02,689 --> 00:05:58,259 smartphone that can read thoughts that's 150 00:06:05,629 --> 00:06:02,699 good news oh yes and this is from 2017. 151 00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:05,639 uh so Facebook announced that it's 152 00:06:10,490 --> 00:06:07,800 assembled a team of 60 people to develop 153 00:06:12,469 --> 00:06:10,500 a technology allowing users to think 154 00:06:14,749 --> 00:06:12,479 commands and messages at their 155 00:06:18,590 --> 00:06:14,759 smartphones the system would be able to 156 00:06:20,029 --> 00:06:18,600 literally read your mind constantly what 157 00:06:21,469 --> 00:06:20,039 could go wrong 158 00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:21,479 and the people of Facebook are going 159 00:06:26,270 --> 00:06:23,699 down a path that only can be described 160 00:06:28,490 --> 00:06:26,280 as post orwellian not satisfied with the 161 00:06:30,409 --> 00:06:28,500 fact that their users willingly share 162 00:06:32,090 --> 00:06:30,419 their most intimate information on a 163 00:06:34,189 --> 00:06:32,100 daily basis with Facebook 164 00:06:37,730 --> 00:06:34,199 now they're looking to reshape the world 165 00:06:40,189 --> 00:06:37,740 and decipher thoughts that haven't even 166 00:06:42,590 --> 00:06:40,199 been verbalized so I throughout this 167 00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:42,600 article to say they're focusing on 168 00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:44,880 Facebook is uh is trying to figure out a 169 00:06:48,650 --> 00:06:47,759 way at least from 2017 to figure out a 170 00:06:51,590 --> 00:06:48,660 way 171 00:06:54,050 --> 00:06:51,600 uh to determine the words and thoughts 172 00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:54,060 you're about to say next not like the 173 00:06:58,010 --> 00:06:56,340 most deeper inner workings of your brain 174 00:07:00,170 --> 00:06:58,020 but what is on the tip of your tongue 175 00:07:01,610 --> 00:07:00,180 what are you about to say that's what 176 00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:01,620 they're focusing on with this technology 177 00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:05,280 although it does not State how exactly 178 00:07:11,210 --> 00:07:07,380 they're going to do this they just say 179 00:07:14,809 --> 00:07:11,220 somehow they're they're going to do this 180 00:07:16,969 --> 00:07:14,819 and so I'm assuming that taking at face 181 00:07:19,550 --> 00:07:16,979 value that they're actually working on 182 00:07:22,070 --> 00:07:19,560 this and they're implementing it in some 183 00:07:23,689 --> 00:07:22,080 way possibly uh we wouldn't know if they 184 00:07:25,430 --> 00:07:23,699 implemented it or maybe we do know 185 00:07:28,370 --> 00:07:25,440 because we're seeing more ads like this 186 00:07:30,890 --> 00:07:28,380 about things where we're just about to 187 00:07:35,029 --> 00:07:30,900 to say or think about it so maybe it's 188 00:07:36,830 --> 00:07:35,039 already been implemented in some way 189 00:07:38,809 --> 00:07:36,840 um and then there's this other headline 190 00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:38,819 here 191 00:07:43,510 --> 00:07:40,319 this is from 192 00:07:50,450 --> 00:07:46,790 Intel's mind reading smartphones of the 193 00:07:53,450 --> 00:07:50,460 future this is from over 10 years ago in 194 00:07:55,670 --> 00:07:53,460 fact there is a 12 years ago this is 195 00:07:58,249 --> 00:07:55,680 when this article is written 196 00:08:01,010 --> 00:07:58,259 Intel researchers are delving into the 197 00:08:03,050 --> 00:08:01,020 creepy but promising contextually aware 198 00:08:05,629 --> 00:08:03,060 Computing of the future machines that 199 00:08:06,529 --> 00:08:05,639 would know who you are and what you're 200 00:08:08,870 --> 00:08:06,539 doing 201 00:08:10,909 --> 00:08:08,880 on the third day of their developer 202 00:08:13,309 --> 00:08:10,919 Forum in San Francisco Intel researchers 203 00:08:15,650 --> 00:08:13,319 describe contextually aware Tech 204 00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:15,660 products of the future that

say the maps thing 219 00:08:53,449 --> 00:08:52,380 probably is something we're seeing 220 00:08:55,370 --> 00:08:53,459 through uh through Google because 221 00:08:57,170 --> 00:08:55,380 doesn't it do 222 00:08:59,150 --> 00:08:57,180 um when you search for restaurants or 223 00:09:01,850 --> 00:08:59,160 you go to Google and you search for uh 224 00:09:04,130 --> 00:09:01,860 you know dinner near me sort of thing it 225 00:09:06,110 --> 00:09:04,140 will base it's what it shows you on 226 00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:06,120 places you have visited in the past so 227 00:09:11,329 --> 00:09:08,880 yeah it's not far off and typically also 228 00:09:14,150 --> 00:09:11,339 when I travel somebody uh travel 229 00:09:16,570 --> 00:09:14,160 somewhere I I hop back in my car I'll 230 00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:16,580 plug my phone in and it'll automatically 231 00:09:22,790 --> 00:09:19,260 uh Google Google Maps will automatically 232 00:09:24,350 --> 00:09:22,800 like put my destination as my home like 233 00:09:25,850 --> 00:09:24,360 he doesn't know so I went to the grocery 234 00:09:27,350 --> 00:09:25,860 store what if I wanted to go to the 235 00:09:29,329 --> 00:09:27,360 Guitar Center what if I want to go 236 00:09:31,310 --> 00:09:29,339 someplace else it's assuming I want to 237 00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:31,320 go home and it typically makes the right 238 00:09:34,790 --> 00:09:33,480 assumption about that so I do want to go 239 00:09:35,870 --> 00:09:34,800 home you should go to Guitar Center 240 00:09:37,370 --> 00:09:35,880 right now 241

with an option to buy yes 247 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:50,820 so uh 248 00:09:56,509 --> 00:09:54,480 all very very creepy stuff uh you know 249 00:09:59,449 --> 00:09:56,519 before I I dive into the the other 250 00:10:00,949 --> 00:09:59,459 aspect of it I was initially uh 251 00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:00,959 considering a couple of weird 252 00:10:06,829 --> 00:10:03,480 possibilities with this that uh yes 253 00:10:11,449 --> 00:10:06,839 these smartphones are are so good the 254 00:10:13,310 --> 00:10:11,459 algorithms uh are so out there that 255 00:10:14,329 --> 00:10:13,320 um they could be just they could predict 256 00:10:17,210 --> 00:10:14,339 your future they know where you're gonna 257 00:10:21,170 --> 00:10:17,220 go then you know the wacky side of it is 258 00:10:24,050 --> 00:10:21,180 that we live in a you know a simulation 259 00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:24,060 and everything's pre-planned every every 260 00:10:28,790 --> 00:10:26,760 piece of of your life has been 261 00:10:30,290 --> 00:10:28,800 pre-programmed so obviously they'll know 262 00:10:32,210 --> 00:10:30,300 what you're gonna do they know what 263 00:10:33,710 --> 00:10:32,220 you're gonna buy and so it's just a 264 00:10:35,509 --> 00:10:33,720 piece of code that gets thrown at you 265 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:35,519 and it's kind of all tied together in 266 00:10:39,829 --> 00:10:37,680 the back end and then you can also think 267 00:10:43,310 --> 00:10:39,839 oh well there's probably AI out there 268 00:10:45,670 --> 00:10:43,320 like the there's Ai and it is living on 269 00:10:48,650 --> 00:10:45,680 the internet and it is so hyper smart 270 00:10:51,470 --> 00:10:48,660 and it's being used to serve ads to 271 00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:51,480 people like the AI is so advanced 272 00:10:56,750 --> 00:10:53,880 uh it could do anything at once and it 273 00:10:59,690 --> 00:10:56,760 has chosen to give me ads to anticipate 274 00:11:01,790 --> 00:10:59,700 my every consumer need and want 275 00:11:04,250 --> 00:11:01,800 uh but maybe it's just trolling you how 276 00:11:06,590 --> 00:11:04,260 about that it could be 277 00:11:08,269 --> 00:11:06,600 um if it was I mean it seems pretty 278 00:11:10,490 --> 00:11:08,279 helpful at times 279 00:11:13,550 --> 00:11:10,500 you know with Joe's back scratcher 280 00:11:15,530 --> 00:11:13,560 that's like a helpful suggestion for 281 00:11:18,410 --> 00:11:15,540 like if it was like an all-encompassing 282 00:11:20,350 --> 00:11:18,420 AI that lives on the internet it seems 283 00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:20,360 fairly helpful at that point 284 00:11:24,949 --> 00:11:22,200 yeah 285 00:11:27,110 --> 00:11:24,959 if that's the case so well that that is 286 00:11:30,110 --> 00:11:27,120 the goal having worked in paid media 287 00:11:32,269 --> 00:11:30,120 that is always what we're doing and you 288 00:11:33,829 --> 00:11:32,279 probably know a lot about this stuff way 289 00:11:35,810 --> 00:11:33,839 more than me Mike but the data that 290 00:11:37,550 --> 00:11:35,820 people are collecting and obviously it's 291 00:11:38,810 --> 00:11:37,560 getting better and better but that's 292 00:11:40,850 --> 00:11:38,820 what you're trying to do is hit people 293 00:11:42,710 --> 00:11:40,860 with the right ad at the right time to 294 00:11:45,170 --> 00:11:42,720 get them to go they've been working hard 295

wash in spyware it's 378 00:15:02,509 --> 00:15:00,000 literally hopeless you can't interact 379 00:15:04,670 --> 00:15:02,519 with technology and not get tracked your 380 00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:04,680 phone is reporting your location 381 00:15:10,610 --> 00:15:07,920 to to your service provider and a host 382 00:15:12,110 --> 00:15:10,620 of other participants they know exactly 383

applies to 386 00:15:20,689 --> 00:15:18,120 third-party apps 387 00:15:22,370 --> 00:15:20,699 they know if you're near McDonald's and 388 00:15:24,410 --> 00:15:22,380 start showing you ads because

00:15:37,800 so the things that sort of thing is 395 00:15:42,829 --> 00:15:40,500 you've done something that keys off the 396 00:15:45,949 --> 00:15:42,839 advertising data model and their data 397 00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:45,959 model about you is so well trained that 398 00:15:52,069 --> 00:15:48,959 it can articulate uh it can accurately 399 00:15:55,610 --> 00:15:52,079 predict what you're thinking and when 400 00:15:58,310 --> 00:15:55,620 and you trained it unknowingly with 401 00:16:01,129 --> 00:15:58,320 every interaction with technology that 402 00:16:03,009 --> 00:16:01,139 you do it goes on to say ever wonder how 403 00:16:06,410 --> 00:16:03,019 you can sit down at a brand new computer 404 00:16:09,110 --> 00:16:06,420 one you've never touched before one that 405 00:16:10,730 --> 00:16:09,120 you haven't logged into uh and any you 406 00:16:12,829 --> 00:16:10,740 haven't logged into any of your sites or 407 00:16:14,930 --> 00:16:12,839 email before and in a few minutes you 408 00:16:17,569 --> 00:16:14,940 start seeing the same old advertising 409 00:16:20,990 --> 00:16:17,579 you always do that's because advertisers 410 00:16:24,290 --> 00:16:21,000 are tracked talking upwards to 150 data 411 00:16:28,430 --> 00:16:24,300 points on any given computer they only 412 00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:28,440 need 15 to differentiate from to 413 00:16:33,769 --> 00:16:30,560 differentiate you from anyone else 414 00:16:35,930 --> 00:16:33,779 incognito mode doesn't matter uh you 415 00:16:39,050 --> 00:16:35,940 will be terrified to know how much they 416 00:16:41,870 --> 00:16:39,060 can correctly deduce uh about you from 417 00:16:46,129 --> 00:16:41,880 astonishingly astonishingly little 418 00:16:48,530 --> 00:16:46,139 information never mind if they do a data 419 00:16:50,569 --> 00:16:48,540 scrape for you they can determine age 420 00:16:53,150 --> 00:16:50,579 race gender habits Health political 421 00:16:55,310 --> 00:16:53,160 alignment Etc I'm not exaggerating this 422 00:16:58,550 --> 00:16:55,320 isn't fake this stuff really happens you 423 00:17:02,870 --> 00:16:58,560 can imagine how paranoid my wife is 424 00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:05,329 I was I was on mute but yes it does it's 425 00:17:08,990 --> 00:17:07,500 absolutely true in fact I've mentioned 426 00:17:11,809 --> 00:17:09,000 this on the show before let me get back 427 00:17:14,329 --> 00:17:11,819 on my uh headphones and mic and stuff 428 00:17:16,990 --> 00:17:14,339 um yeah the uh 429 00:17:21,829 --> 00:17:17,000 I've mentioned that my work computer 430 00:17:23,510 --> 00:17:21,839 shows me ads for things I have interests 431 00:17:25,909 --> 00:17:23,520 in in say Instagram 432 00:17:28,010 --> 00:17:25,919 yes so like my work computer if I get 433 00:17:29,810 --> 00:17:28,020 ads it'll be ads that are relevant to 434 00:17:32,270 --> 00:17:29,820 stuff I was looking at on my computer 435 00:17:35,570 --> 00:17:32,280 and I know I've mentioned this 436 00:17:37,250 --> 00:17:35,580 despite me not logging in to my Gmail on 437 00:17:38,830 --> 00:17:37,260 my machine and things of that nature 438 00:17:41,150 --> 00:17:38,840 yeah 439 00:17:43,610 --> 00:17:41,160 these computers I tell you they just get 440 00:17:45,110 --> 00:17:43,620 crazier and crazier yeah I mean if if 441 00:17:47,150 --> 00:17:45,120 that's what we know and they're talking 442 00:17:48,529 --> 00:17:47,160 about online I'm sure it's far more 443 00:17:51,289 --> 00:17:48,539 stringent 444 00:17:53,330 --> 00:17:51,299 so with that if they if that's true and 445 00:17:55,610 --> 00:17:53,340 they can pretty much deduce who you are 446 00:17:58,010 --> 00:17:55,620 from 15 points of data like where you go 447 00:18:00,710 --> 00:17:58,020 to like what you check 448 00:18:03,350 --> 00:18:00,720 um like a VPN is to a certain degree 449 00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:03,360 kind of pointless from for hiding your 450 00:18:08,690 --> 00:18:06,240 identity in like incognito mode kind of 451 00:18:11,210 --> 00:18:08,700 pointless so they know of course who 452 00:18:13,130 --> 00:18:11,220 everyone is regardless of how much you 453 00:18:16,850 --> 00:18:13,140 obfuscate yourself of course because 454 00:18:19,490 --> 00:18:16,860 because of the way you are online your 455 00:18:20,510 --> 00:18:19,500 attitude where you go they got you 456 00:18:22,730 --> 00:18:20,520 locked down 457 00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:22,740 they know all this stuff they know who 458 00:18:26,510 --> 00:18:25,380 everyone is if they want to plant bugs 459 00:18:29,630 --> 00:18:26,520 in your house they know your work 460 00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:29,640 schedule yes they know all your patterns 461 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:31,440 your routines like this is not just 462 00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:34,559 digital this is your life and and it is 463 00:18:39,470 --> 00:18:36,120 true that was one of the things we used 464 00:18:42,610 --> 00:18:39,480 to do back in 2018 when I was working 465 00:18:45,650 --> 00:18:42,620 with paid media is that we were trying 466 00:18:48,289 --> 00:18:45,660 what you always try to do is Pinpoint 467 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:48,299 location and show them ads relevant to 468 00:18:52,130 --> 00:18:50,640 like you wouldn't show a White Castle ad 469 00:18:55,010 --> 00:18:52,140 down in the south 470 00:18:56,590 --> 00:18:55,020 because they don't have White Castle 471 00:18:58,610 --> 00:18:56,600 yeah 472 00:18:59,570 --> 00:18:58,620 show them Jack in the Box or something 473 00:19:02,150 --> 00:18:59,580 like that 474 00:19:03,890 --> 00:19:02,160 and so yeah and ways ways was always and 475 00:19:06,409 --> 00:19:03,900 this is more of an obvious one but when 476 00:19:07,789 --> 00:19:06,419 you're on Waze instead of sending people 477 00:19:09,710 --> 00:19:07,799 a billboard I don't know if people even 478 00:19:10,669 --> 00:19:09,720 use Waze anymore probably no I don't 479 00:19:12,529 --> 00:19:10,679 think so 480 00:19:15,169 --> 00:19:12,539 but yeah they would show you okay so 481 00:19:16,610 --> 00:19:15,179 they know you're interested in pizzas 482 00:19:18,289 --> 00:19:16,620 and you eat a lot of pizza or whatever 483 00:19:19,970 --> 00:19:18,299 they'll show you where all the pizzas 484 00:19:22,190 --> 00:19:19,980 are when you stop at a red light they'll 485 00:19:24,770 --> 00:19:22,200 be like click here for you know ten 486 00:19:27,230 --> 00:19:24,780 percent fresh is the Walnut sauce I want 487 00:19:28,909 --> 00:19:27,240 to put it on my pizza yeah they probably 488 00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:28,919 suggest you toppings for your pizza yeah 489 00:19:32,930 --> 00:19:30,240 they'll send you right to Comet Ping 490 00:19:34,490 --> 00:19:32,940 Pong when you're in DC yeah there you go 491 00:19:36,950 --> 00:19:34,500 tell you which basements have the best 492 00:19:39,549 --> 00:19:36,960 pizza yeah exactly oh these are the best 493 00:19:42,169 --> 00:19:39,559 hot dogs they're so succulent 494 00:19:44,150 --> 00:19:42,179 well I like to bring up the story every 495 00:19:45,470 --> 00:19:44,160 now and again and this is this is 496 00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:45,480 perfect for what we're talking about 497 00:19:50,210 --> 00:19:48,240 here for like Predictive Analytics about 498 00:19:52,370 --> 00:19:50,220 people's behaviors and what they can do 499 00:19:55,250 --> 00:19:52,380 or what they will do what they may do 500 00:19:57,950 --> 00:19:55,260 and this headline is Big Data helps CIA 501 00:19:59,710 --> 00:19:57,960 predict social unrest five days before 502 00:20:02,270 --> 00:19:59,720 it begins 503 00:20:05,330 --> 00:20:02,280 uh this was written back I believe in 504 00:20:07,610 --> 00:20:05,340 20th October of 2016. 505 00:20:09,230 --> 00:20:07,620 uh so they announced it back in 2016 506 00:20:12,190 --> 00:20:09,240 they probably had it for a long time so 507 00:20:15,289 --> 00:20:12,200 earlier this year uh in 2016 the CIA 508 00:20:17,390 --> 00:20:15,299 Helm started up a new arm of the agency 509 00:20:19,370 --> 00:20:17,400 dubbed the directorate of digital 510 00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:19,380 Innovation which aims to embrace the 511 00:20:24,830 --> 00:20:22,559 newest Tech into the agency's data 512 00:20:26,510 --> 00:20:24,840 Gathering the DDI will also assist the 513 00:20:28,490 --> 00:20:26,520 United States in bolstering cyber 514 00:20:33,169 --> 00:20:28,500 defense 515 00:20:35,270 --> 00:20:33,179 uh so um the deputy director of digital 516 00:20:37,490 --> 00:20:35,280 Innovation Andrew Hallman explains that 517 00:20:40,430 --> 00:20:37,500 the new wing of the agency is helping 518 00:20:42,710 --> 00:20:40,440 the CIA expand its anticipatory 519 00:20:44,270 --> 00:20:42,720 intelligence almond notes that the 520 00:20:47,630 --> 00:20:44,280 improvements are good enough that they 521 00:20:50,630 --> 00:20:47,640 can predict overseas societal societal 522 00:20:53,330 --> 00:20:50,640 instability in social unrest by three to 523 00:20:57,110 --> 00:20:53,340 five days before the event occurs so 524 00:20:59,210 --> 00:20:57,120 they know I I suspect it's way better uh 525 00:21:01,549 --> 00:20:59,220 now than it was back in 2016 they have 526 00:21:04,970 --> 00:21:01,559 more data uh more projections better 527 00:21:07,430 --> 00:21:04,980 guess so they know what is probably most 528 00:21:10,430 --> 00:21:07,440 likely gonna happen they have a really 529 00:21:12,049 --> 00:21:10,440 good guess at that kind of stuff 530 00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:12,059 uh and I love that you're talking about 531 00:21:15,650 --> 00:21:13,679 this stuff I'm set I'm going to drop a 532 00:21:17,270 --> 00:21:15,660 couple links in the carrot shop so if 533 00:21:19,070 --> 00:21:17,280 you want to keep on it oh yeah I'm going 534 00:21:21,590 --> 00:21:19,080 to keep on it so this is back in 2016 535 00:21:23,810 --> 00:21:21,600 the the uh they're probably using it 536 00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:23,820 overseas and here or they have a 537 00:21:27,950 --> 00:21:26,400 parallel system that is being used by 538 00:21:30,350 --> 00:21:27,960 the FBI 539 00:21:34,430 --> 00:21:30,360 I would I would say I would go that that 540 00:21:38,090 --> 00:21:34,440 far uh and then there is this 541 00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:38,100 other little more recent article 542 00:21:44,390 --> 00:21:40,260 so remember that one about CIA was from 543 00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:44,400 2016. this one right here 544 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:47,360 is a little bit newer and this is titled 545 00:21:55,850 --> 00:21:50,400 U.S intelligence wants to unmask 546 00:22:00,409 --> 00:21:58,010 so up to eighty percent of certain 547 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:00,419 Anonymous underground Forum users can be 548 00:22:05,510 --> 00:22:03,120 identified using Linguistics researchers 549 00:22:07,750 --> 00:22:05,520 say the technique Compares user posts to 550 00:22:11,870 --> 00:22:07,760 track them across forums and could even 551 00:22:15,649 --> 00:22:11,880 unveil authors of thesis papers or blogs 552 00:22:18,289 --> 00:22:15,659 who have taken to underground Networks 553 00:22:19,490 --> 00:22:18,299 uh quote if our data set contains 100 554 00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:19,500 users 555 00:22:24,169 --> 00:22:22,080 we can at least identify 80 of them 556 00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:24,179 researchers say 557 00:22:30,169 --> 00:22:27,240 uh function words are are very often 558 00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:30,179 specific to the writer even if you are 559 00:22:35,630 --> 00:22:32,159 writing a thesis you'll probably use the 560 00:22:36,590 --> 00:22:35,640 same function words in chat messages uh 561 00:22:39,470 --> 00:22:36,600 even 562 00:22:41,149 --> 00:22:39,480 if your text is not clean you are 563 00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:41,159 writing your writing style can give you 564 00:22:44,810 --> 00:22:42,240 away 565 00:22:46,850 --> 00:22:44,820 so the U.S intelligence Community has 566 00:22:48,169 --> 00:22:46,860 launched a program to develop artificial 567 00:22:51,289 --> 00:22:48,179 intelligence that can determine 568 00:22:54,049 --> 00:22:51,299 authorship of anonymous writing while 569 00:22:57,409 --> 00:22:54,059 disguising an author's identity by 570 00:22:59,029 --> 00:22:57,419 subtly altering their words 571 00:23:01,310 --> 00:22:59,039 yeah and there aren't there those 572 00:23:03,049 --> 00:23:01,320 reports where they can identify people 573 00:23:05,029 --> 00:23:03,059 not from just their face and their eyes 574 00:23:08,149 --> 00:23:05,039 but from their gate the way they walk 575 00:23:10,010 --> 00:23:08,159 yeah and then there's a you know I don't 576 00:23:12,710 --> 00:23:10,020 know if this is out there but I'm just 577 00:23:15,110 --> 00:23:12,720 guessing that the mask thing and being 578 00:23:17,330 --> 00:23:15,120 able to like iPhone asks do you want to 579 00:23:20,630 --> 00:23:17,340 do face recognition with your face mask 580 00:23:23,690 --> 00:23:20,640 on you slave and imagine that being 581 00:23:25,730 --> 00:23:23,700 actually just a test run or training for 582 00:23:27,409 --> 00:23:25,740 these algorithms to go okay well when 583 00:23:29,330 --> 00:23:27,419 these [\h__\h] start rioting and 584 00:23:31,730 --> 00:23:29,340 they come out in their masks we know 585 00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:31,740 exactly who to go after the same way FBI 586 00:23:35,930 --> 00:23:33,840 went after the January 6th terrorists 587 00:23:38,330 --> 00:23:35,940 who almost tore down the government 588 00:23:41,510 --> 00:23:38,340 yeah it's it seems like at this point 589 00:23:43,970 --> 00:23:41,520 the they they have their technological 590 00:23:45,770 --> 00:23:43,980 Terror Grid in place 591 00:23:47,570 --> 00:23:45,780 they they know what people are gonna buy 592 00:23:50,330 --> 00:23:47,580 they know what people are pretty much 593 00:23:52,190 --> 00:23:50,340 going to do they can predict unrest they 594 00:23:55,070 --> 00:23:52,200 can predict unrest they probably can 595 00:23:56,870 --> 00:23:55,080 predict who they're gonna vote for they 596 00:23:59,630 --> 00:23:56,880 have everything locked down they know 597 00:24:02,090 --> 00:23:59,640 what people are going to do they know 598 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:02,100 with their overall General emotion about 599 00:24:06,350 --> 00:24:03,600 certain things 600 00:24:08,149 --> 00:24:06,360 and so it may be that much easier if 601 00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:08,159 you're if you present stories in a 602 00:24:12,529 --> 00:24:10,559 particular way to lead them down a path 603 00:24:15,350 --> 00:24:12,539

you're set 812 00:33:01,490 --> 00:32:58,620 and this is it's not unlike the way the 813 00:33:04,389 --> 00:33:01,500 movie that came out uh 2000 mules got 814 00:33:07,389 --> 00:33:04,399 their data to track who was delivering 815 00:33:09,590 --> 00:33:07,399 uh a physical ballots to drop all places 816 00:33:12,529 --> 00:33:09,600 that they did the same thing in that 817 00:33:14,750 --> 00:33:12,539 movie they just bought data geolocation 818 00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:14,760 data from people's cell phones with cell 819 00:33:18,590 --> 00:33:16,440 phone data it was cell phone data they 820 00:33:21,409 --> 00:33:18,600 figured out there were a couple people 821 00:33:23,029 --> 00:33:21,419 going to multiple different ballot 822 00:33:24,889 --> 00:33:23,039 drop-off places 823 00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:24,899 now I mean they could have went in 824 00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:28,320 further uh with the investigation I I 825 00:33:33,289 --> 00:33:30,480 suspected that they they did 826 00:33:34,430 --> 00:33:33,299 they they probably would they probably 827 00:33:36,409 --> 00:33:34,440 discovered 828 00:33:38,389 --> 00:33:36,419 that these mules were dropping off 829 00:33:40,610 --> 00:33:38,399 ballots for both the Democratic and 830 00:33:43,850 --> 00:33:40,620 Republican Party 831 00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:43,860 um yeah I think that bout harvesting is 832 00:33:47,570 --> 00:33:46,080 illegal in some states I don't know but 833 00:33:49,490 --> 00:33:47,580 they did the same thing you can figure 834 00:33:52,730 --> 00:33:49,500 out a lot of stuff from this stuff 835 00:33:55,250 --> 00:33:52,740 it's not illegal in California to go 836 00:33:58,130 --> 00:33:55,260 um collect balance from other people and 837 00:34:00,049 --> 00:33:58,140 break that chain of custody but hey 838 00:34:02,690 --> 00:34:00,059 I love it you know it's it's interesting 839 00:34:05,389 --> 00:34:02,700 that all this like denying access to 840 00:34:07,130 --> 00:34:05,399 voting it's so ridiculous with the I 841 00:34:09,950 --> 00:34:07,140 know this is a tech segment but it's 842 00:34:13,070 --> 00:34:09,960 just like you can't get you can't verify 843 00:34:15,409 --> 00:34:13,080 ID and location isn't that how elections 844 00:34:17,270 --> 00:34:15,419 work like you can't vote and okay 845 00:34:19,250 --> 00:34:17,280 because they know it's all federal that 846 00:34:20,690 --> 00:34:19,260 New Yorker just passed that they're now 847 00:34:22,490 --> 00:34:20,700 allowing people who are non-citizens to 848 00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:22,500 vote so I think so yeah I don't know if 849 00:34:26,149 --> 00:34:24,240 that's going to go through because it's 850 00:34:28,669 --> 00:34:26,159 probably highly illegal but the idea 851 00:34:31,669 --> 00:34:28,679 that like if I live in Atlanta in like 852 00:34:33,710 --> 00:34:31,679 Fulton County and I try to go vote for a 853 00:34:35,270 --> 00:34:33,720 sheriff in another County like this 854 00:34:36,829 --> 00:34:35,280 doesn't make any sense but people don't 855 00:34:40,010 --> 00:34:36,839 care about that they just care about 856 00:34:41,810 --> 00:34:40,020 whatever the [\h__\h] hood ornament is on 857 00:34:44,570 --> 00:34:41,820 the the car that's being driven off the 858 00:34:46,970 --> 00:34:44,580 cliff right now wow your car is a hood 859 00:34:49,690 --> 00:34:46,980
