7 HORRIFYING new AI technologies: Number 5 will give you the creeps

May 22, 2023

It’s no secret that Glenn has a less-than-optimistic view of emerging AI and when you look at the horrifying new technologies that utilize the power of AI it’s hard not to agree.

Here’s a look at 7 new AI technologies that will HORRIFY you:

AI Brainwave Monitoring

Earlier this year during the World Economic Forum's annual meeting, Nita Robinson, a professor of law and philosophy at Duke, presented a video that depicted a “hypothetical” situation where a person's brainwaves are monitored by their earbuds, which have the ability to record brainwaves, decode them with AI, and then send brain reports to their boss and are accessible by government agencies. When the video ends, Robinson makes the terrifying announcement that this AI technology already exists! It's just a matter of time before it's implemented.

AI Voice Cloning

Last month, Glenn covered a terrifying story involving a scammer who created an AI clone of a child's voice in order to scam money out of her terrified parents. While this might sound advanced, a quick Google search reveals that this technology is remarkably accessible and is easily able to replicate the voice of anyone. Imagine the havoc that could be inflicted on your life with an AI clone of your voice.

Like something out of Star Trek, a team of researchers at the University of Texas at Austin developed a new AI that is able to decode brain activity and produce a transcript of a person's thoughts with reasonable accuracy, all without the need for implants or other invasive measures. While the researchers assure us that the technology has major limitations, including the need to train this AI extensively on each subject's brain, it’s only a matter of time before the AI is able to overcome these limitations, and it may be sooner than we would like…

Snapchat's new AI “Friend”

Snapchat

In April the popular social media messaging app Snapchat released a controversial new feature known as “My AI”—an AI chatbot powered by ChatGPT. The new feature acts much like other chatbots. It can answer questions, converse with the user, and offer recommendations. However, unlike other chatbots, it is integrated in such a way that it can be difficult to distinguish from a human user, complete with a customizable avatar and name. Many parents are worried that the friendly appearance of “My AI” will make it hard for their teens to differentiate the bot from a real human. Moreover, the only way to remove the bot is by paying for Snapchat’s premium service, giving parents little recourse for protecting their children.

AI "Big Brother"

In a recent TED talk, former Apple Designer Imran Chaudhri introduced the concept for a new wearable AI device connected to a camera and microphone, enabling the AI to hear and see everything you do. Chaudhri assures us that the device is “privacy-first and safe,” but how safe would you feel with an all-seeing AI accompanying you all day every day?

AI Meddling with Elections

One terrifying potential use for AI could be meddling with elections. The last few years have seen a decline in faith in our elections, and the emergence of AI will only serve to muddy the waters. As previously mentioned, AI voice clones are here and have been proven to have the ability to create compelling facsimiles of political figures. Combined with AI image technology the threat of an AI-generated scandal is high.

If you want to learn more about AI interference with elections you can watch this clip from the Glenn Beck Program.

AI Dating

Another disturbing development is the creation of “Dating AIs”—AI chatbots designed as a replacement for a boyfriend or girlfriend. There is already a variety of options available with prices ranging from free all the way up to $1 a minute, like some sort of dystopian "call girl." There are already reports of people developing genuine emotional attachments to these bots and others who have married or have tried to marry their artificial lovers.

3 gay conservatives reveal what pride month is REALLY about

We are well into Pride Month 2023. It seems like every year, the push from the Left and the "Rainbow Mafia" grows stronger and more obscene. Meanwhile, some Americans have expressed frustration at being sidelined. This includes members of the "LGBTQIA+" community who are very unhappy about being lumped in with the militant "Rainbow Mafia," and who have been speaking against this forced association.

In his recent Glenn TV Friday Exclusive, Pride Propaganda, Glenn questioned, "Aren't there any gay people that are really bothered by this?" As it turns out yes, yes there are. Here is what three gay, VERY bothered, conservatives have to say:

Dave Rubin

Let's start with Dave Rubin, host of The Rubin Report, who is well known for many things, the least of which is being a gay conservative (much to the dismay and confusion of the "Rainbow Mafia"). During a guest appearance on Glenn's show, Rubin discussed the Left's conflation of sexual orientation and ideology. Here's what he said:

They've separated human beings based on ideology having nothing to do with who they truly are.

The Left has presented simply "being gay" as an ideological stance that is incompatible with and even despised by other (typically right-leaning) ideologies. They frame being gay as meaning you have to be a part of the Rainbow Mafia—you have to believe what they believe or you are "not really gay." Rubin pointed out the problem with being defined by only one aspect of yourself, like your sexuality, saying:

You're not a free human being, you're actually a slave.

Spencer Klavan

In Glenn's most recent podcast, he interviewed Spencer Klavan, author and Oxford Ph.D., on how Christians should fight back against the Rainbow Mafia. Klavan brought up an important point:

The loudest and the craziest voices are [the most] visible.

The Rainbow Mafia types are made out to be the majority—the unanimous voice of anyone in the LGBTQIA+ community—which conveniently means they can weaponize criticism towards them by labeling critics as homophobes. But in reality, many critics of the Rainbow Mafia are gay, including Klavan. In fact, Klavan mentioned that he:

[Speaks] every day to people that are just horrified by what's being done in their name.

Don't let the Left conflate one's sexual identity with being part of the Rainbow Mafia. Don't let them label the resistance to child mutilation and the forced adoption of gender ideology as "homophobic." As Klavan encouraged:

Stand up and say "not in my name."

Douglas Murray

Douglas Murray is a British political commentator and author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Madness of Crowds, which takes on woke-culture head-on. Murray appeared in an interview with former Australian politician, John Anderson, where they discussed the incoherence of the existence of the LGBTQIA+ community. Murray asked the question:

Why would we be taking the individualism out of individuals and lumping them in these demonstrably incoherent bodies that don't even exist?

Good point. Why should we believe that people who happen to be gay all somehow fit neatly into a box? This method of categorization reduces an individual to one aspect of their identity, which is blatantly divisive, accentuating the minor differences between people rather than things held in common.

As demonstrated by these three quotes, there’s more to pride month than what rabid leftists and the mainstream media make it out to be. As Glenn explained on Glenn TV, pride month is not about gay rights or advocacy, it's a concept that been hijacked for money and political power.

"[Companies] are being held hostage by extremists and Wall Street," Glenn said. "Wall Street is looking for ESG scores, extremists are like 'you don't say gay, enough you don't celebrate transgender, well we're going to have to give you a low score.'"

This creates a monetary incentive for big corporations to reinforce the Left's crazy identity politics and treat "the gay community" as a monolith, instead of individuals. It is clear that real the objective here is to bind the so-called "gay community" as a political tool to be used by the Left.

What is Flag Day? A brief history of America's Flag and why we celebrate it.

Today is Flag Day, where we celebrate the creation of the first American flag that has rallied the American people since its creation in 1777 and the millions of Americans who have been blessed to call the United States their home ever since.

The flag had humble yet bold beginnings, created during the height of the Revolutionary War when the British army was rapidly depleting the continental forces. It became the symbol of colonial farmers fighting for their freedom against their oppressive master. Now the "Red, White, and Blue" is an enduring symbol of freedom and liberty around the world.

Here is a history of our flag as we honor and remember it this Flag Day.

June 14, 1777

The following resolution was made after the appointment of a special committee from the Continental Congress tasked with designing a flag for the newly independent United States:

Resolved, that the Flag of the thirteen United States shall be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a new constellation.

Betsy Ross, tasked with creating a flag by George Washington for the newly-born nation, created the first American flag based on this design.

September 11, 1777

The colonies' new flag was first flown at the Battle of Brandywine, fought just outside of Philadelphia. Though resulting in a British victory, the battle proved that the Continental Army could stand up to the British Army, the strongest in the world at that time, boosting confidence in their strength and resilience. The flag rallied the soldiers in the Continental Army under one symbol, uniting the soldiers from across the 13 colonies under one symbol that now represented their new nation: the United States of America.

February 14, 1778

Valentine's Day 1778 marked the first time when the flag was saluted by foreign naval vessels. The French navy saluted the flag when the Ranger, under the command of the infamous Scottish-American naval hero, Captain John Paul Jones, arrived in a French port, bearing the Stars and Stripes.

Professor George Bolch, the principal of a free kindergarten school for the poor of New York City, held annual patriotic ceremonies to observe the anniversary of the Flag Day resolution. The State Department of Education took notice of Bolch's Flag Day celebration and mandated all public schools observe Flag Day thereafter. The state legislature then passed a law requiring the state superintendent of public schools to ensure that schools hold observances for Lincoln’s Birthday, Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, and Flag Day.

The Society of Colonial Dames helped pass a resolution to have the flag displayed on all of Philadelphia's public buildings. Elizabeth Duane Gillespie, a direct descendant of Benjamin Franklin and the president of the Colonial Dames of Pennsylvania, that same year tried to get the city to call June 14th "Flag Day."

The governor of New York ordered the display of the flag over all public buildings statewide, which is considered by many to be the first official recognition of the Flag Day anniversary of the adoption of the flag outside of schools.

Pennsylvania became the first state to establish June 14 "Flag Day" as a legal holiday. Though Flag Day is a nationwide observance today, Pennsylvania is the only state that recognizes it as a legal holiday.

President Woodrow Wilson issued the first presidential proclamation establishing a national "Flag Day." In his commemoration, Wilson wrote:

On that day rededicate ourselves to the nation, "one and inseparable" from which every thought that is not worthy of our fathers’ first vows in independence, liberty, and right shall be excluded and in which we shall stand with united hearts

Calvin Coolidge also issued a presidential proclamation calling for June 14 to be recognized as "Flag Day."

Flag Day became official when Congress approved legislation designating June 14 each year as "Flag Day." President Truman signed the legislation into law.

TAKE THE POLL: What do YOU think about Trump's federal indictment?

Last month, Trump made history as the first U.S. President to be indicted. However, that instance was at the state level by Alvin Bragg, the Soros-backed Manhattan DA. Now, the DOJ has escalated the left's crusade against Trump to an all-new historic level: the Department of Justice federally indicted Trump, beckoning the former President to appear in federal court next week.

This is a new era of American politics.

While the Left says Trump should stand trial for his alleged crimes, Trump's supporters and conservatives more broadly feel that the Left is reducing America to a Banana Republic, using its power to attack its political opponents. Is Trump guilty of crimes? Is Trump's indictment a strategy to prevent him from winning in 2024?

We want to hear from YOU. What do YOU think about Trump's federal indictment? Tell us your thoughts in the below poll.
