SHOW SUMMARY
Liz debunks the portrayal of AI as an autonomous entity, emphasizing its man-made nature. She mentions Yuval Noah Harari’s speech at the World Economic Forum, where he suggests that AI could create new religions. However, Liz argues that AI has no inherent beliefs about religion.
Next, Liz raises concerns about biases in AI algorithms and their potential to manipulate people, citing the adverse effects of smartphones, social media, and the Internet. She warns against merging humans and machines, as it may lead to dependence on machines for thoughts and actions.
Furthermore, Liz highlights the serious concern of AI algorithms manipulating people’s beliefs, speech, and actions. She references Big Tech’s role in influencing the 2020 election by censoring information. Liz suggests that government bureaucrats and partisan politicians may exploit AI algorithms for political gain.
Liz also expresses concern about leftist ideologies being ingrained in AI algorithms, dictating how people should think based on immutable characteristics. She notes the leftist biases of many AI algorithm developers.
Finally, Liz discusses Assembly Bill 957 in California, which would label parents who refuse to allow their children to change genders as child abusers. This bill grants the state the power to take custody of such children. Liz condemns the bill and reiterates the dangers of AI, urging society to recognize and address them.

This is a weird story, a very creepy story, and I wanna give you just a little context on how I happened on this story. So, if you’re looking up art artificial intelligence, or AI online, some of the top searches for artificial intelligence actually are questions about what artificial intelligence does. What is AI, artificial intelligence explained? People are asking about Chat GPT. They’re asking about bar, they’re actually asking about Snapchat AI. So what I want to do today is explain just a little bit about what those behind AI are not telling us about AI as they are trying to embed it in every aspect of our life, from our personal life to every, every web search that we do to our art and algorithms in computers and search engines. I wanna explain just a little bit about who controls AI because those who are at the forefront of this industry, maybe even the people that are, are part of the creative process, or the people that are funding it present AI as if it’s an autonomous thing.
It’s this entity that has its own agency. And this is not actually true. This is not true at all. Something has to control this because as much as the people creating AI would like to think of themselves as God as the creator of some life form, they are not. They actually are not. So what we’re gonna talk about today is Yuval Noah Harari. You’ve probably heard of this guy. He’s very, very famous for writing the book Sapiens. He’s a professor, he’s a philosopher, and he spoke at the World Economic Forum. Yes. So just to give you an idea of the kind of people he hangs out with and the type of philosophy on life and on government that he ascribes to Yuval, Noah Harari was talking about artificial intelligence recently, and he took part in this narrative that I’m talking about pretending that AI or portraying AI as being something that has being, that has, that’s a sentient being of its own. This is wrong, but listen to what Yuval Noah Harari said that AI will do, or what impact artificial intelligence will have on the Bible and on religion. This is where the story from the get-go gets very creepy. Take a listen to this.
You know, the printing press, radio, television, they broadcast, they spread the ideas created by the human brain, by the human mind. They cannot create a new idea. You know, Gutenberg printed the Bible in the middle of the 15th century. The printing press printed as many copies of the Bible as Gutenberg instructed it, but it did not create a single new page. It had no ideas of its own about the Bible. Is it good? Is it how to interpret this? How to interpret that? Can create new ideas, can even write a new Bible. We, you know, throughout history of religions dreamt about having a book written by a superhuman intelligence, by a non-human entity. Every religion claims our book, all the art books of the other religions, they humans wrote them. But our book, no, no, no, no, no. It came from some superhuman intelligence in a few years. There might be religions that are actually correct that just think about a religion whose holy book is written by an AI that could be a reality in a few years,
Okay? Now, you don’t have to be a Christian or a practicing Jew or a religious person to be worried about the impacts of AI. In fact, what we’re talking about today, it’s probably not so much the religious aspect of it. So if you’re not a religious person, hang with us here. But you gotta admit, this guy has some pretty serious anti-Christ vibes going on when he is talking about, he’s not only talking about essentially wanting to play God, he’s talking about wanting to create something that plays God like on a higher pedestal than God who wants to be on a higher pedestal than God. Yeah, the anti-Christ does. So I’ll leave you with that as just the religious commentary, but let’s talk about what he’s saying for a second, because he compares AI and AI potentially writing a new Bible or so-called correcting “correcting a religion”.
He compares this to what Gutenberg did with the Bible, Gutenberg in the printing press, printing the Bible in the 15th century. But he makes a false comparison here. In fact, where we are today is not that much different than the 15th century. The difference is just who’s behind giving the directions to the machine. So this is the quote from Herra. He says, Gutenberg printed the Bible in the middle of the 15th century. The printing press printed as many copies of the Bible as Guttenberg instructed it, but it did not create a single new page. It had no ideas of its own about the Bible. Is it good? Is it bad? How to interpret that, how to, or how to interpret this, how to interpret that. This is a very, very important point to make about AI. If you have ever Googled artificial intelligence explained, if you have ever wondered what is AI?
Is it a threat to our civilization? Who controls it? Is it, is it an entity? Does it have agency? Can it think for itself? Can it create for himself for itself? The answer to that is no. I know this is a controversial answer, and a lot of people that work in AI are gonna say, yes, it is, it is. It has agency. It can think, no, no, no, no, it can’t. What AI is, is it is a complex algorithm written by humans. Now, this algorithm written by humans might include parts of the algorithm that allow that algorithm to perpetuate, meaning they write into the algorithm that it, they want it to so-called create something else, but it cannot on its own. Think a computer that’s been smashed with a sledgehammer, think about, or even in a less destructive sense, think about one of those computer sets where you’re supposed to put together each of the pieces to teach you about electronics.
That thing is not writing a Bible on its own. It doesn’t plug itself in, it doesn’t put itself together. It doesn’t operate without your input. You are ultimately the person that is controlling this device. And then once you’ve flipped this switch on, this device operates according to the code embedded within it that was written by engineers. This isn’t something that just spontaneously combusted or spontaneously, it’s like the big bang with people, right? This isn’t something that just spontaneously happened, and then now this is an entity that we can’t control. No, no, no, no. This isn’t a very complex, yes, a complex algorithm written by people, which means that the people behind it have incredible control over what it does. We learned this with Chat GPT, right? When we started asking it so-called “controversial questions” about what is a woman and which religion is correct, and things that are more or less objective truth, right?
What is a woman is an objective definition. And when we asked it questions, it said, oh, I don’t want to talk about that. Or it labeled some conservatives as hateful, but it didn’t label any leftist as hateful. There’s bias written into this algorithm because the algorithm is written and it’s written by people who have opinions. Oftentimes, they have agendas including political agendas. So the simplest answer to the question of artificial intelligence explained the simplest answer to the question of, is this an entity? Is it sentient? Does it have agency? The simplest answer is no, it doesn’t. It’s complex, and you can build something that is destructive, just like human beings built nuclear bombs. They put together certain chemicals to create a very destructive reaction, but that didn’t, the nuclear bomb, for example, didn’t create itself. It doesn’t detonate itself. It was created by people, and then other people choose when they want to detonate it.
That’s the same with AI. It was created by people. It’s the algorithms are written by people, and then other people choose how to deploy that. So as you can see, it’s not something that is in and of itself. In fact, it’s even possible that this could have positive, positive impacts on society. In fact, I had a very funny conversation right before we started filming this with my producer, and we were saying, oh, you know what? To be fair, we should add to the show some positive uses of AI, just so people can see that there’s not necessarily an inherent morality or immorality when it comes to ai, because it’s not a thing. It’s not a sentient thing. It doesn’t have agency. It is just a tool that can be used or a tool that can be abused. And so we’re like, okay, well, what are some positive applications of AI?
And honestly, we didn’t, we couldn’t really think of any because, not because they don’t exist. I’m sure they do. In fact, if you guys can think of any positive applications of AI, like, please send them to me on social media on go to lizwheeler.com and go to the comment section and let me know what some positive applications of AI are. But by and large, right now, it is not being applied in a positive way by and large, right now, the people behind AI are people like Yuval Harari, who I think he’s a secular Jew. I don’t think he has religious beliefs himself. Or these are his religious beliefs. He’s trying to create something that he worships or something that controls him. So I guess this is a sort of paganism, if you will. Again, this isn’t necessarily about religion, but it is about the what it is ness of AI.
Now, this is the creepy part of it. I guess this part is creepy as well. The creepy part of it is in 2018, Yuval Harari was talking about artificial intelligence at the World Economic Forum, and his speech was titled, will the Future Be Human? So this is the other part of AI is AI is not viewed by the, a, the artificial intelligence community as being a tool, as being something separate. They want, or their agenda is to integrate artificial intelligence with humanity with reality. We saw this with the Apple Vision Pro. This, they call theirs augmented reality because they want to add to reality in addition, not just replace it with artificial intelligence. Very, very gray area for morality. Very, I think something we should be very wary of as human beings. What are, first of all, what are we trying to get away from when it comes to reality?
But also it’s objectively true that since the advent of the internet, especially since the advent of smartphones, and especially since the advent of social media humanity has not reacted well to being overstimulated and completely immersed in our devices in this, in this sort of artificial reality that is the internet. We have increased levels of depression, of anxiety, of bipolar. We obviously have a crisis of suicide in our society, especially in American society right now. There’s, there’s grooming that happens, ideological grooming that happens because of, because of these applications. We see that on TikTok, we see that on Instagram. This has not been something that has been only a net positive for our society. There have been a lot of adverse effects of just smartphones in social media and the internet, let alone adding the Apple Vision Pro augmented reality goggles or adding AI.
But that’s what these people who write the algorithms envision it for. That’s what they wanna use it for. They want to merge human beings and machines essentially so that there’s no discernible line between where the human being starts and where where the, where the, where the technology ends. That’s my biggest red flag. My biggest red flag is that they want to have the machine essentially start controlling the human, controlling the thoughts. And humans become so reliant on this that they can’t operate without it. And then of course, there’s the opportunity manipulation. If you are so reliant on it and you don’t know where your own thoughts start, and you know, an augmented reality, artificial intelligence apparatus ends, then you’re going to rely on them to the point that they could easily manipulate what you think. Again, that’s what we talked about last week with the Apple Vision Pro.
But anyway, you’ve all Harari in 2018 talked about exactly what he envisions, what type of manipulation he envisions. He said just a little sneak peek here. He said, this algorithm, this AI algorithm will at some point be able to tell young people if they’re gay or not. I’m not making this up. These are his words. I’m gonna read you his exact quote. He said, when I was 21, I finally realized that I was gay after living several years in denial. This is not exceptional. A lot of gay men live in denial for many years. They don’t know something very important about themselves. Now, imagine a situation in 10 or 21 years. He says, when an algorithm can tell any teenager exactly where he or she is on the gay straight spectrum, can you imagine, can you imagine this? Of course, we can’t because we can’t imagine a scenario where there wouldn’t be some ideology behind this, where there wouldn’t be an agenda behind this.
This algorithm that he’s talking about that could supposedly identify where any young person falls on the gay straight spectrum, those are his words that I’m using here on the gay straight spectrum. That would be written by someone else. So someone else would be coming in and telling you where you supposedly are on the gay straight spectrum. What this is, of course, it would be right for manipulation. Again, this isn’t a religious issue. This isn’t even about the morality that is often discussed as it relates to sexual orientation. This is just an obvious example of something that there are interests that would cause this to be manipulated. Of course it would. Of course it would. It’s so creepy. It’s so creepy. It’s so weird. It’s so weird. And this is a perfect example of how people behind AI view the, or what they want for the application of AI.
This is how they envision it merging with humanity. I have a huge problem with this, not just because not just because there are adverse effects and the vulnerability, serious vulnerability to manipulation by the people writing this, but also because of, and this is a little bit religious, I know, but those of you who haven’t watched the show before, I am a little bit religious, just a little bit, but they’re not just trying to have artificial intelligence replace humanity and replace reality. They’re trying to have artificial intelligence replace the Holy Spirit. This is going to be a massive problem for our society. Again, there was a study that recently came out, and you don’t even have to be a believer. You don’t have to be a practicing religious person to understand that this, this recent study showed that most people, even when they’re not religious, don’t think that we should have an an, a religious society because religious morals are the underpinning of an ordered society without religious morals, without say, the nuclear family unit, without some kind of social sexual morays society falls apart, right?
You have less crime, you have less drug abuse. You have a more ordered society. When you have a religious people without religion, without morals, without a definition of right and wrong and justice, you’re in this massive, this massive bubble of question marks. What is anything? What do words mean? Who’s in charge? What is right? What is wrong? What is justice? What’s the definition of any word? Utter chaos. Reigns utter chaos. So this is what, this is what those who are advocating for AI actually want. The people that are writing the algorithms that make AI work are not people without an agenda. We’ve seen this through any, any of them, whether it’s barred, whether it’s Snapchat, whether it’s Chat GBT, we see their agenda evident in the responses to our questions about abortion, about, about transgenderism, about just the basic biological definition of what is a woman.
We see this in how they react to questions about individuals that are on the right wing versus individuals that are on the Left wing. This is an inherently biased algorithm because people are inherently biased, right? People are inherently biased. And the people that are behind AI, people that are writing the code, that makes AI spit back the responses to the questions that we put into the, into the apparatus. They are typically left wing. They are typically very left wing. And Yuval Harari is a good example of this. When he talks about wanting AI to write the Bible, he’s talking about wanting his algorithm that he’s written or an algorithm written by someone who’s like-minded to him to supplant the Holy Spirit to supplant God. So again, not to get too religious on you here, but who wants to supplant God? Every religious person listening to this show knows the answer to that.
The one person that wants to supplant God is the antichrist. This, I think that this is a major red flag for our society, a major red flag, let alone, let alone the creepy application that you’ve all already talks about when he says, well, soon it’ll be able to tell young people who don’t know they’re gay, that they’re gay, yeah, that won’t be abused, will it? That won’t be used for manipulation. I bet. I bet. I bet that’ll be completely neutral and totally accurate to have an algorithm tell you whether or not you’re gay. So the other, the other point that I wanna make here is the people behind AI. I don’t wanna be vague when I say that they are biased. I don’t wanna be vague when I say the people behind AIor the people that are writing the algorithms that operate AI have an agenda.
These people are left wing and just from today, these are just examples from today, meaning a very limited, very narrow bucket of examples. And still, we have plenty of them. Imagine if you looked over the course of the week or the month or the year for examples. These are just from today. This is what the people who share philosophical and religious and political viewpoints with people like Yuval Harari. This is what they think of you and of me, and this is what they want to force us to do or use the power of the government to force us to. This is Congressman Jerry Nadler a democrat in the United States Congress talking about wanting the federal government to force your two-year-old child, your toddler, who may not even be able to talk yet, force your two-year-old to wear a face mask. And if you don’t put your baby in a face mask, Jerry Nadler wants you to be labeled as a child abuser. Take a listen to this.
Before I was allowed to go to school, I won’t tell you how many years ago that was, I had to be vaccinated for various, for diptheria, for whipping cough, for the diseases that they then knew had to vaccinate against. Nothing has changed. We had to vaccinate people to prevent diseases and pandemics. The gentleman asked, why should a two year old? Well, and the fact of the matter is that people should require to be either vaccinated, especially a nurse, a nurse who is dealing with patients who is breathing on those patients. She can transmit the disease. So certainly she should be required to be vaccinated because the vaccination not only protects her, it protects against transmission of the disease to the next person. And the healthcare worker certainly ought to be required to be vaccinated. And when we have a pandemic like Covid 19 pandemic that we had two year olds should have been required to wear masks, it would be child abuse for parents not to do that because there was no vaccination available for two year olds. And the only way to protect them against Covid, back against covid without them wear masks. And these mandates are meant to protect the public’s health and safety.
Now, for me to say that what he is saying, what Nadler is saying is just a little controversial, would be the understatement of the year. Any parent who has a two-year-old is probably feeling prickles up their neck in just rage, outrage that this man in Congress would try to tell us to c to wrap our child’s face in a face mask. But the point of this is, this is what the Left thinks of us. This is what the Left wants to force us to do. These are the same people ideologically, I know Jerry Nadler is not writing AI algorithms, but ideologically this is the kind of control the ideological left wants to exert over our lives, every aspect of our lives. So when we think about integrating AI into our very existence, augmenting our reality with AI, all the Left does is look for ways to exert this kind of control over us. Do you think they wouldn’t do that through AI? I, let’s just say, if you think that AI would be completely neutral and without manipulation, then I have a bridge to sell you. By the way, Congressman Chip Roy, seeing he has young children, so maybe he had a similar reaction to this, that I did. But Chip Roy responded to Nadler on the floor of the house. Take a look at this.
Well, my time to the gentleman from New York, because he is basically making the case for me more effectively than I can, the gentleman from New York is basically acknowledging everything that I’m sitting here saying that I’m trying to do to protect the American people from the tyrannical state of the executive branch, but in this case, my democratic colleagues and other side of the aisle. I want everybody in American to understand what they just heard from the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee in the United States House of Representatives. Your two-year-old should be forced to be masked. That is what the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee just said here on the floor of the House of Representatives, that the power of the government, the full power of the federal government should be a part of ensuring and forcing your children, your two-year-old child to be masked.
We heard it yesterday when the Secretary of HHS refused, refused to actually answer that question. So I’m really glad to hear that the ranking member of the house, she share committee acknowledges what everybody in America understands, which is that the Democratic party led by the President and by my democratic colleagues in the House and the Senate are fully comfortable with the power of the government being used to shut down your businesses, force you outta work, unless you take an experimental vaccine that has not been proven to actually do what the gentleman just said, which is with respect to transmissions.
It was too good not to show you, it was too good. I watched and I was like, yes, go Chip Roy. I go, he’s pushing back. Thankfully, he’s actually one of the few, one of the only Republicans even pushing back against this tyranny from the Left. But wait till you hear what the ideological left the same people, the pe or the people who share the same ideology, the same philosophy, the same politics as those who are writing the algorithms that power AI, wait till you hear what they say about Hispanics. Okay? So over on MSNBC, Chuck Todd, very famous liberal host, although he’s on his way out, he’s not going to be hosting that show anymore after this summer, had just the nastiest thing to say about Hispanics who dared to think in a way that Chuck Todd doesn’t want them to think. So the context of this is after President Trump was arraigned in Miami, he, after the, after the actual arraignment itself, after he was at the courthouse, he left and he stopped by a restaurant for lunch.
This restaurant is a Cuban restaurant run by Cuban exiles, people who escaped Cuban communism and he got food for lunch. But the people in the restaurant, the people who run the restaurant and the patrons are really supportive of President Trump. And they spoke to him when he came in for lunch and they surrounded him and they prayed for him. They put their hands on his shoulders and they prayed for him. Actually, a beautiful moment if you can possibly put politics aside for a second, which most people, including the Left can’t. Chuck Todd responds to this community of Cubans praying for President Trump because he came to eat lunch with them. He responds to it by calling these Hispanics perverse because they dare to be Republican. Take a listen to this
Very familiar scene to South Floridians, watching sometimes the politics of central and South America where you see these moments. But clearly he is wrapping himself in this sort of, there is a faction of South Floridavery conservative MAGA Hispanics who are very much rally around sort of almost see common cause of the injustices of America with Cuba and Venezuela. And he’s trying to wrap himself in the sort of the folks who claim their exiles in the exile community. And it’s a real perversion of what the exile community used to fight for. I mean, this is, this is what makes it so surreal to see it here in the United States. We were the safe haven for those that were escaping moments like this. I, you know, it’s just what a bizarre moment. And I think again, it’s gonna take years for us to understand it.
Perverse, perverse, he calls Hispanic people who support Trump. Perverse. Listen, there’s racism that exists in the United States right now. There is racism that comes from the Left telling people because they’re from Cuba, because they’re from Venezuela, because they are of Hispanic origin, that they have to think a certain way based just on the color of their skin. That’s racism. If you lay, if you, if you take any single demographic that shares an immutable characteristic like skin color or like sex, and you tell them that they must behave and think a certain way based on that immutable characteristic, then that’s bigotry that’s coming from the Left. Right now, this, this, and this ideology that has poisoned the Left has also poisoned the political left or even the corporate media, the Leftists and the corporate media has also poisoned the same people, the ideological left, who are writing the algorithms that will power AI.
Remember, AI is not a sentient being, it doesn’t have agency. It’s not something that just spontaneously came. It’s not a life form, be God of God or of nature. It’s something built by human beings. It’s something that’s controllable by human beings. It’s something that operates the way that human beings tell it to operate. Imagine for a second, if there’s algorithm that’s supposedly going to integrate into our very reality, become a blurred line of what’s humanity and what’s machine, what’s AI, what’s real, what is even the definition of reality anymore? Imagine if this kind of poisonous ideology is, is bred into this algorithm, then this algorithm is going to treat every Hispanic person who I guess isn’t a Democrat, any Hispanic person who thinks for themselves, any Hispanic person who is dares to be Republican as perverse. This racism would be inbred into this.
So forgive me if I’m skeptical about the ramifications of artificial intelligence of AI on our society, because the people right now in control of this don’t, like half of the country think that we are racists and bigots and homophobes and transphobes and have completely written us off. In fact, when Hillary Clinton responded to Trump’s indictment and Trump’s arraignment, she repeated, not in the exact same words, but she repeated the same sentiment as several years ago when she was running against Trump in 2016, and she, and she dismissed every Republican as being a basket of deplorables. It was that moment. It was a pivotal moment in that election when a lot of people were like, whoa, we’re not evil because we aren’t voting for Hillary. It’s not a litmus test that if you don’t vote for Hillary, that means you’re evil. That if you do vote for Trump, that means you’re a bad person.
A lot of people were really found this really jarring as they should because it’s in a, it’s an evil sentiment coming from Hillary. And she doubled down on this when she was talking about any Republican, and you don’t even have to be Republican. There’s a lot of non Republicans who look at the fact that Hillary Clinton wasn’t charged for mishandling classified information with her email server destroying 30,000 emails with bleach bit and a hammer instead of responding to a subpoena about them. Think the fact that she wasn’t charged for that, never held a accountable for that, and yet the Department of Justice is going after Trump for housing presidential records, records from when he was in a office in his post presidential library, sec, or office secured by the Secret Service. They think that’s a gross miscarriage of justice. That’s a two-tiered system of justice, that’s unfair, that’s unjust. It’s wrong. And this is what Hillary Clinton says about anybody who believes that
Republicans claim that you got off, you did the same thing and got off SCO free. Why did your friend Jim Comey let you off so easy?
That’s a really good question. I can’t figure that one out. You know, I do think it’s, it’s odd, let’s just say to the point of being absurd how that is their only response. You know, they refuse to read the indictment, they refuse to engage with the facts. There’s nothing new about that. And what they refuse to admit is, you know, this is on a track about him, not about anybody else. No matter how much they try to confuse people and how much they try to, you know, raise extraneous issues. And it’s going to be fascinating, I guess in a bizarre and sad way to watch them spin themselves up. If you watched any of the news programs this weekend, I mean, their efforts to defend this man are truly beyond anything that I ever thought possible in our country. I mean, it is so profoundly disturbing how this could have been the break, this could have been the opportunity to say, you know thank you so much for everything you’ve done for us. We really appreciate it, you know, but this is kind of serious, and so we’re not going to, you know, continue to defend you. But no, they’re all in. Again, that’s what the psychology of this is so hard for me to fully grasp.
I’m sorry. The only thing I could think of during that entire video was, did you guys see above Hillary’s head the branding? So this was on, on pods Save America, very, very prominent liberal podcast. And on, on the Left side, it’s branded to Pods Save America as a watermark on the video itself. And on the right side above Hillary’s head, the parent company, the media company that owns Pods Save America is called Crooked Media. So literally floating above Hillary’s head is this watermark that says Crooked. I could not look away from that. The entire video, apropo, if you will, accidental, but very well placed pods Save America very, very well placed. Hillary Clinton, as you heard, did the same thing that she did in 2016. She said, if anybody who thinks that we should have equal standards, that there shouldn’t be different rules, if you’re a Democrat and different rules, if you’re a Republican, that you shouldn’t be allowed to commit a crime and let off easy if you are a Democrat and then accused, falsely accused of something that isn’t a crime.
And I mean, the Left intends to try to put President Trump in big jail and to prevent him from running for president again, just because he is a Republican. If you sit here, even if you don’t like Trump himself, if you sit here and think that’s unfair, then Hillary Clinton says, you’re deeply disturbing. You’re absurd. You’re sad. She’s just dismissing you outright. This is the, this is the ideological left. This is what they think of us. They think that we are not worthy of participating in society. They think our opinions are are bad and evil, and they think that their opinion about our opinions defines us. Imagine if this kind of ideology was written into the algorithms of Snapchat and Bard and Chat GBT and all the other AI products that are about to hit the markets. This is a serious, serious, deeply concerning problem that it doesn’t matter if you are really into AI, that you’re excited about Apple’s Vision Pro, or whether you don’t care about any of this, and you were one of the ones Googling what is AI and how does it even work?
Explain it to me. It doesn’t matter where you fall on that spectrum. This should be deeply concerning to everybody because of the capacity to manipulate, right? Because of the capacity to impact how people think, what people believe, what people are allowed to do, what people are allowed to say. Social coercion is sometimes just as strong as governments cracking. We saw this with Big Tech. Big Tech is not officially an entity of our government, but during the 2020 election or the lead up to the 2020 election, Big Tech played a larger role in influencing the outcome of the election by censoring the New York Post article about Hunter Biden’s laptop and all the corruption or the proof of the corruption that was on his laptop. They played a bigger part than the actual government did, even though the government was behind closed doors. We didn’t know about this until after the election actually happened.
Behind closed doors, the government was telling Big Tech, please do this. You gotta do this, you gotta do this, do it, do it. C sensor, sensor silence. And so Big Tech did. And if you for a second, think that the people that write the algorithms write the AI algorithms won’t also have government bureaucrats and partisan politicians in their ears, pushing them and coercing them into writing their agenda, the political agenda, the Leftist agenda into these AI algorithms, then you’re just fooling yourself. This will be leveraged against us. It won’t be something that just adds to our life, at least the way that, at least the trajectory that we’re on right now out in the state of California, out in the state of California. And by the way, if you’re watching this on YouTube, I do have to warn you, we can’t show you this video that we’re about to play.
We can’t, we’re not allowed to show you this video on YouTube. It’s against their terms of service, and we would be risking being kicked off the platform. So I regret to inform you that if you wanna watch this video, and I highly, highly recommend that you do that, you go over to rumble.com/liz Wheeler and watch the fully uncensored version will be over on Rumble. If you’re listening to this podcast on Apple or Spotify or already watching on Rumble or locals, you’re fine. But if you’re on YouTube, you have to go to rumble.com/lizwheeler to watch this. In California, there’s a bill in the California State Assembly. It’s called Assembly Bill 957. We’ve talked about it a little bit. You’ve probably heard about it. This bill would label parents who refuse to trans their children as child abusers. And once those parents who decline to trans, their children are labeled as child abusers, the state is giving themselves the power to take custody of those children away from those parents.
So your seven year old walks home and says, mom, dad, I know I’ve been a boy, but I’m not a boy anymore. I’m a girl trapped in a boy’s body, and I’d like to go on puberty blockers. I’d like to be chemically castrated your seven year old. And if you as parents say, no, I’m sorry, son, that’s not how we’re going to handle this. We’re going to identify where your, your gender dysphoria or gender disorder came from, and we’re going to address that with, with therapy and removing you from the place that influenced you into this. If you say that, then the California State government wants to label you as a child abuser and take your son away from you chemically castrate him and put him on the pipeline from hormones to surgery. This is what’s at stake here. And one California mother is testifying against assembly Bill 957 warning the state of California. What happened to her daughter when this happened to her? Her daughter said, I want to be a boy. And the mother said, no, you’re not a boy. You’re a girl. The California state government took her daughter away from her, and her daughter ultimately committed suicide because she was trans. Take a listen to this. It is heart-wrenching.
My daughter was murdered by gender ideology. CPS took my daughter when she was 16 years old. It was helped by her public school counselor, an LGBTQ Group Prize, and another trans-identified girl. My daughter was taken from her loving home because the state of California claim I was abusive for not affirming her trans identity. I lost my daughter over a name and a pronouns even after, after I pro, I pro promised to call her a male name. It wasn’t enough. My daughter was not a boy trapped in a girl’s body. She had mental health issues against my consent, my daughter was given testosterone instead of therapy. The LGBTQ group used her to pro to raise money for them. Look at the port reject trans boy. They said, why are there so many transgender and foster care? Because this, they take them from their families, tell them to run, then steal them. Parents are given one option to treat their distressed child, affirm drug and remove their healthy body part, or else lost your child. The abuse claim against me was finally dropped, but it was too late. The damage was done. My then my, by then my daughter was in a horrible mental and physical pain. My daughter knocked down in front of a train.
She was murdered by gender ideology. I beg u stop pushing gender ideology. Thank you. I don’t want any parent to feel what I feel every day.
If you think that won’t be written into the algorithms that power, artificial intelligence, then we’re being naive. It will make no mistake the ideology of the Left, the Leftists who write these algorithms. AI is not sentient. It doesn’t have agency, it’s not its own being. It is a tool. It is a machine. It is a computer, and people are ultimately in charge of it. And they will use it perhaps for good, perhaps for evil. But if we don’t recognize that, then our society is in, I’m sorry to say our society is in for a whole lot of pain. I’m interested in your thoughts on AI. If you can think of positive applications of it, if you have additional if you have additional ideas about AI, please go to lizwheeler.com and drop me a note post in the comment section. Let me know what you think of artificial intelligence or augmented intelligence. The whole AI debate, it’s becoming part of, well, I guess, politics becoming part of our culture. And if we allow those behind it to decide what role it’s going to play in our society several years down the road, we’re going to regret not getting involved in it now. So let me know what you think.
