So Anthropic is now asking for an AI slowdown because of safety concerns.

Jason (2:25)

Do you think so?

Pat Gray (2:26)

Maybe?

Glenn Beck (2:27)

This drives me out of my mind because I don't think this is really about safety concerns. I think this is all about power and control, and I'll explain, this is the way it always happens. May I say, we've been here before, this is the way it always happens. And I'll explain the speed limit that they're asking for now with all of the big AI producers. I don't think this has anything at all to do with safety. I'll explain in 60 seconds. First, let me tell you about Relief Factor. I want to show you the results of an election. No pollsters, no margin of error, no likely voters, and nobody gets to blame the weather. More than a million people have cast their ballot, and the result is two to one. The election is Relief Factor. Over a million people have tried Relief Factor, two-thirds of them have gone on to take more because they actually tried it and it worked. I, for one, am one of those people that voted for Relief Factor. I had terrible pain that my wife suggested she's not going to listen. No, she didn't say that. She just told me. I'm not listening to you whine anymore unless you try everything, and one of those things was Relief Factor. I really didn't think it would work. It did. It's crazy how great it worked. Relief Factor, designed to support your body's natural inflammation response and help with all the aches and pains associated with frequent pain. Don't take a poll, just run your own election. Give Relief Factor a try today. Three-week quick start is $17.76. See why so many people give Relief, say Relief Factor, gave them their life back.

Okay, so now the story is the four biggest AI labs are now saying that we need development slowdown. We need some sort of, we need regulation. Now when I hear companies beg for government regulation, I get nervous and there's a very good reason for it. I'll explain in a minute where we've been before, but first, let me explain exactly what is going on. Most people will probably think that artificial intelligence is just a better version of Google, where you ask a question and an answer comes back and that was so very long ago. That was four years ago. Google is a librarian. You ask, it points you to a page somebody else already wrote. It doesn't know anything. All it does is find things online. What we have now doesn't find things, it produces things. It writes the page while you wait. And in the last year, it stopped being a thing that answered and started being the thing that does things. It writes software, it runs the software, it uses tools, you give it a goal and it will work out the problem for hours without being told the next step. Companies are now starting to hand all of these keys to their systems that move money and run infrastructure.
