How Rob Schneider went from 'ignoring God' to standing for Christ

Actor and comedian Rob Schneider recently turned 60 years old and a lot has changed since his days in Hollywood. For starters, he recently converted to Catholicism after "going through life slugging along and ignoring God." Rob joins Glenn to tell the story of his transformation and explain how seeing evil spread around the world helped bring him to Christianity. And he also explains the lessons he has learned while growing older, including why he's willing to speak out for Israel and against the woke gender movement.

GLENN: So there is a broad coalition for American communities. It's gathering tomorrow.

March for Israel.

And it's happening at the national mall in Washington, D.C.

And it's to show the support for Israel and Jews.

I wish I could be there.

I could not rearrange my schedule.

But I recommend, that you go tomorrow.

I've checked this out, six ways to Sunday.

These organizations, I don't agree with on everything. But on this, I absolutely agree.

March for Israel tomorrow, at the National Mall in Washington, DC.

We have Rob on? Schneider is with us now.

You just turned 60.

Hey, old man, how you are?

GLENN: I don't know how that happened?

Do I have to join that AARP?

STU: Yeah. I know. I think you have until 65.

I think. I don't know. I'm only 59.

ROB: Oh, wow. Oh, wow.

GLENN: So I'm not old like you yet.

ROB: All right, Jr.

GLENN: So, Rob, you wrote a great article about your journey into 60. And your advice into 60.

But you also talk about you've -- you've become a practicing Catholic.

You've -- you've -- were you Christian your whole life. And just never practicing?

What's your story?

ROB: Yeah. I was kind of going through life, slugging along, ignoring God.

And pretending that there was -- you know, kind of like the atheists mistake of -- and, you know, they're my friends, atheists. But they make the mistake of thinking like this whole universe is just this gigantic thing, expanding and bumping into stuff, and meaningless.

And that we're some accidental freak of intelligence.

That just happens. And then it will all go away.

And I just think that if my buddy Norah O'Donnell said, we -- we are a small fraction of the universe.

So if there's such a thing as compassion and love and empathy, then it must be endemic to this whole thing that we exist in.

And I -- I think that that little voice of Jesus Christ, was never -- was always coming back to me, even though I was going away from him.

And then finally, I think during all of this.

And kind of more obvious. I don't know how else to say it. But kind of more obvious evil in the world.

GLENN: Yeah.

ROB: I think it kind of -- it gave me -- you know, a -- I kind of got back to it, that way. Because if there's really organized evil in the world. And I don't think it's at all more powerful.

But I do think it's here to challenge us, as individually. As a family. As a community.

And I think also, as you and I have come to really understand them.

As a nation.

GLENN: Yeah.

ROB: That I think coming to God. And realizing, his father Rick Burger said.

And some people are having a question about Christianity. Is -- in Jesus. Whatever form it is. Just for me, Catholicism works. Because it's the closest to the word. Closest to the actual word of Jesus. Through -- to the Greek and the Latin.

And that's why it works for me.

GLENN: So, but -- you know, I saw an article about this.

In -- let me look. I think it was Christianity Today.

No, ChristianPost.com. And it talked about how you're -- you know, how you're -- you have failed in the past, to show Christ's forgiveness to those who you disagree with.

And it's really beautiful stuff, that you've said about forgiving people, et cetera, et cetera.

But then it goes into, yeah.

Yeah. But he's repeatedly weighed in on LGBTQ-related issues, on his X account.

He was talking about the -- the female athlete getting spiked in the face, by a male competing with the women.

And he wrote, this has got to stop. And parents, coaches, and women athletes all refuse to play against these men. It all stops.

And then he was on the Glenn Beck Program. And he talked about gender mutilation.

And so they're trying to say, that see, you really haven't changed. Because you're not forgiving of those things.

ROB: Well, that's the difference between, Christ doesn't want us to just stand down and accept evil. And forgive evil. And looking to perpetuate.

Christ wants us to stand up against it.

You don't want to -- Christ knocked over the -- the merchants that were no longer practicing.

At the temple.

Because he -- and sewed righteous anger.

We have protect the most vulnerable members of our society. Our children.

Now, there's this weird justification that seems to be okay, for women. Now suddenly, for the, quote, progress.

That they even take a backseat to other men. And that's what these people are.

They're men. They're not women. In any way, shape, or form.

And there's this strange societal narcissism. That is somehow accepted. In some ways.

And it's an attack on women. Which is an attack on God. And I think we need to stand up and protect them.

And it's just a -- there is evil that can perpetuate. And you know it's wrong. And the people know it's wrong.

And I know that -- that the female athletes, like Riley Gaines. Are actually talking, stepping up.

And my wife actually corrected me. Because I said, why don't the student athletes and these women step up.

You know, who are on these swim teams or basketball teams. Or volleyball teams. Step up and say something.

And she said, they do. But people aren't listening to them. Because people don't listen to women.

And I said, wow. I think she's right.

GLENN: I will tell you, that there's a great misunderstanding on speaking the truth.

That's all that Christ spoke. Was the truth.

And sometimes, people don't like it. Oh, well.

It doesn't mean that I stopped loving you. Because you're my brother or sister.

And I hope that at some point truth corrects you, and you come on the side of truth.

But I don't hate you. And I don't -- that's why I don't take it out. I try not to take it out on you. It's really hard. It's really hard.

ROB: It is hard. It is hard. And it's supposed to be hard. And it's supposed to be difficult. But we have to -- we have to try to -- we have to trust that -- that righteous instinct.

And it's there to challenge us.

But we cannot be silent.

And we cannot -- we cannot stand down. When -- you know, especially the most vulnerable members of our society. Are now under attack.

And I think it's -- you know, the LGBT community, that were -- it wasn't -- if not the whole community. But the community that is pushing us. Knowingly knows it's wrong.

Because they went to a group of attorneys, and they got advice, about how to do this. And they said, don't deal with any publicity. As far as, you know, the gender issues.

And the gender, what they call protections.

And it's interesting, because they just rename protections for something that is the opposite of it. Which is mutilation.

Because you have -- and I tell people, who -- because they use our good will against us.

Which is inherently evil.

But if these children, can't vote, or we don't allow them to drive.

We don't allow them to own a gun. We don't allow them to join the army.

We -- or even get tattoos.

Because they are not capable of making these permanent decisions.

About these things. But yet, we're able to do these horrible -- and they are for horrible things.

GLENN: Right. Right.

ROB: And that have lifelong repercussions. And you see, Prager University, there's a wonderful -- wonderful film. I say wonderful, but there was a very knowledgeable.
And informing film about the detransitioners.

And it's just -- it's criminal. And what it is, it's sad.

And let the child -- when you turn 18, before they decide to do something.

I think 18. My child, my oldest one. She wasn't an adult at 18 either.

She became an adult at 25. But I do think, at least, at a minimum, if you have any conscience at all.

Then they should be -- any faith at all, that you have -- wait until they're 18, until they make a decision.

And just don't jump on any new fads.

Especially a fad that has the -- the real evil of it, is this idea, that they can be infertile.

And destroy themselves for life.

I think there is a -- there is a really attack on babies.

There's an attack on girls. There's an attack on women.

GLENN: This whole thing is a culture of death.

I mean, you look at what's happening with the Palestinian rallies.

Where they're openly chanting, you know, death to Jews. And send them to Germany.

And all of these horrible, horrible things.

This -- every bit of this evil.

ROB: Coming at us. It is a culture of death. It's a culture -- I think there's different ways to look at this.

And, you know, my coming to Christ, was also an illogical sense of, I do think that you have the atheists now who have -- it's like the opposite of the Snopes trial.

The Snopes trial, which cornered in subtrials in the 1920s, which was about Christianity and evolution. And the idea that Christianity was -- was trying to close and limit the idea of God's plan. Of -- which could have been evolutionary in part, for sure.

Was -- was basically putting a splenetic spin on Christianity and faith.

What you have now, is the opposite of the Snopes trial.

You have the fanaticism, coming from the atheists, coming from godless people. And that are not wanting to see the potentiality of God, and the potentiality of what they're doing could be wrong.

And just a real, real -- exposing this. Seeing the LGBTQ community.

Who are supporting Hamas and the Palestinians.

And somebody whispering.

They would kill you. In a minute.

They will stone you to death.

These are not people. These are murderers.

You have to call them what they are.

And really, the sad thing about the pro-Palestinian things you see on campus.

And you see it's -- you know, when they say, do not forget. Never forget the Holocaust.
It's because, it is something that can be forgotten. And it is being forgotten. Because it's -- the -- the very few remaining Holocaust survivors, who are children now.

Very young children.

Now, you mentioned, a terrible thing, Glenn.

Which is that the -- the idea that the Holocaust could have been, you know, adding to this horrible anti-Semitism. You realize that it isn't.

It was an apex of anti-Semitism. That there is going to be a continuation of pogroms, and an attack on these people. And our -- on these people. Because it is -- it is a continuation of anti-Semitism.

And it is certainly not anywhere near the end of it.

And for people who -- war is hell.

And war is hell. And the idea that somehow there's a clean war, or there's a way to do it.

I mean, the death of children, in any situation is abhorrent and horrible.

And they -- and they try to prevent it as best you can. But I remember thinking of Robert McElmurry, who was working with the Air Force, during World War II.

They were talking about the firebombing Japanese cities, and -- which was, you know, something that --

GLENN: Horrific.

ROB: Horrific. Absolutely horrific. Dresden was absolutely horrific. Maybe more people died of Dresden than Nagasaki and Hiroshima combined, probably in World War II. Towards the end of -- but to bring Germany to its knees, to end that war. Was -- was a greater good.

And it's all horrible.

But the idea that Hamas is going to be allowed to survive in any form.

For our questioning of it, is what is going to replace it?

You know, that's the question.

But you have to -- you can't sit back and allow your people to be slaughtered.

Your babies. You can't. And we have to stand with Israel.

And we have to know that this is something, that it's -- it's not going to be easy.

And it's going to be -- it's going to require prayer. It will require God's help.

It will require our help.

But we have to be there for that. And not give in to this Hamas, publicity campaign.

Which is very good.

GLENN: We're talking to Rob Schneider.

He's actor, comedian, writer.

And he's just written a piece for TheBlaze.com: The Gift of Turning 60, where he talks about this, and so much more.

And you can find that on the front page of TheBlaze.

Rob, great talking you to. Thank you so much.

ROB: Always. Thank you for your time. And your faith.

GLENN: You bet. Godspeed.

Glenn exposes the DARK truth behind AI 'friendship'

Mark Zuckerberg and Big Tech want you to believe that AI can be your “friend.” But Glenn Beck reveals the chilling truth: these bots aren’t here to connect with you... they’re here to control you. From social media addiction to mental health crises, we’ve already seen what “connection” platforms have done to our families and children. Now, AI is at its next stage where it's smarter, more personal, and far more dangerous. Glenn warns that this isn’t just about privacy or data. It’s about your soul. Real friendship is sacrifice, loyalty, and love. AI offers only a hollow imitation all while whispering lies in your ear...

Swedish Prime Minister DEPENDS on AI for governmental decisions

The Prime Minister of Sweden has admitted to frequently using AI services “as a second opinion” in his governmental work. Glenn and his co-author on “The Great Reset,” Justin Haskins, discuss why this is problematic…but will probably also become more and more common.

GLENN: Welcome to the Glenn Beck Program.

Did you see the -- the video that was on Instagram going away, going around.

It's from a La Quinta hotel in Miami. And if you're watching TheBlaze, watch the screen.

I'll describe what's happening.

This person is checking into a hotel.

And there's a check in and out, right here.

VOICE: Just in case I lose one.

GLENN: This is a guy on a screen in the lobby.

VOICE: Please wait while we process your registration form.

Please note we have a strict policy of no smoking, no pets and no visitors allowed in any of guest rooms.

GLENN: So it's all automated.

There's not a real person at the front desk, at all. There's nobody at the front desk.

That is -- just bizarre!

STU: AI on or is it an actual guy?

GLENN: No, that's an actual guy.

I don't know if he's in America, or not.

It's an actual guy, someplace.

In the video, the guy is like, are you even in the hotel?

No, sir. We're not. There's nobody here. We just need you to do this.

It spits out your key. And, you know, everything else.

STU: Wow!

GLENN: It's --

STU: Amazing.

GLENN: Weird. It's weird. We have Justin Haskins who is here with us.

We have been talking about AI, and some of the Dark Future that is coming our way, if we're not careful with it. Justin, welcome to the program.

JUSTIN: Hi, Glenn.

STU: Hi. So the AI revolution that is here, we have a first that I know of, happening over in Europe with -- with the use of AI. You want to explain?

JUSTIN: Yes. This is an incredible story. This is something we actually predicted was going to happen, when we were writing Dark Future. And in the book, which came out, in 2023, but a lot of that writing was in 2022. So a few years ago, the Swedish Prime Minister, his name is Ulf Kristersson.

GLENN: Swedish.

JUSTIN: Would be -- I'm sorry. Did I get that wrong --

GLENN: No, Swedish. I just wanted to point out, this is not some weirdo. This is Sweden, and the Prime Minister. Go ahead.

JUSTIN: Correct. Yeah. So the Swedish Prime Minister was being interviewed by a business magazine. And in the interview, he just sort of voluntary says, that he frequently uses AI services, and he names the couple. One in particular, is Chat GPT, as a second opinion. That's a quote. A second opinion in his governmental work, asking things like -- and this is a quote. What have others done?

Should we think the complete opposite? He uses it for research. He uses it to help him to bounce ideas off of ChatGPT, to see if there are other kinds of new ways of doing policies.

And in the story, in the interview, he -- he says, it's not just him.

That his colleagues, in the legislature, are also doing this exact same thing.

They're using AI as sort of an adviser!

Now, they -- he was very clear to say, and he stirred up a huge controversy in Sweden.

That he and his staff have said, no. We're not -- it's not like we just do whatever ChatGPT tells us.

We're not putting sensitive information in there, either. So it's not in control of anything. But, yeah. We do use it, as an adviser, to help us, with things.

Now, obviously, there are all kinds of huge problems with this.

But on the -- at the same time. You sort of -- I mean, this is the world that we're going to have, everywhere.

I guarantee, that American politicians are using it all the time.

The CEOs are using it all the time. Already.

And that over the next couple of years, this is going to dramatically expand. Because at the end of the day, the members of your staff. Your advisers.

If you're a politician or a CEO. Or the head of a bank or something.

They're fallible people too.

So AI may not be perfect. But so are the people on your staff. And if AI is smarter than most people, why wouldn't you ask it these questions?

And so this is -- this is the first example of this, that I know of.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg. It's going to be a huge problem moving forward.

GLENN: Right. So this is not something that I -- I mean, I consult with AI.

I ask it. Help me think out of the box on this. I'm thinking this way. Is there any other way to look at it? I do that. I do that with people, et cetera, et cetera.

The problem here is, is what comes next?

There is -- there is -- AI is going to become so powerful, and so good, and many people are -- I just did this with a doctor.

I took all my back information, fed it all into ChatGPT.

And on the way to the doctor, just fed it all in. And said, what do you see? What does this mean? You know, how would you treat it, et cetera, et cetera?

And when I got into the doctor, I had questions for him, that were much more intelligent.

Because I had a has come on what some of these terms even mean. And there's nothing wrong with that. But there is going to come a time where ChatGPT will say, go this way. And the human will say, no. We're going this way.

And the room will say, no. I think we should go ChatGPT's way. And that's when you've lost control.

JUSTIN: That's exactly right. And how do you argue against something's decision. When that something is literally smarter than everything else in the room.

GLENN: And it's learned how to lie.

JUSTIN: Yes. It has.

And lies all the time.

People who use AI systems, frequently. And I do.

And I know you do.

And I know a lot of people on your staff do.

It claims that things are true. When they are not true.

It invents sources.

Out of thin air.

GLENN: Right.

And it's not -- not like I call it. And it's like, this doesn't make any sense.

It doesn't give up.

It lies to you some more.

And then it lies to you a third time. And then we have found, usually a third or fourth time, it then gives up and says, okay.

I was just summarizing this, and just putting that into a false story. And you're like, wait.

What?

So it's lying. It's knowing it's lying. It's feeding you what it thinks you want to hear.

And then putting -- if you don't -- if you just see the footnote. Oh, well. Washington Post.

And you don't click on it.

You're a mistake. That's a huge mistake.

It will say Washington Post. You'll click on it. And it will say no link found.

Or dead link.

Well, wait a minute.

How?

Why?

How did you just find this one, it's a dead link?

That's when it usually gives up.

It's crazy!

JUSTIN: That's right. And people say, well, people lie all the time.

And that's true. But people do not have the ability that artificial intelligence has to manipulate huge parts of the population, all on the same time.

STU: Correct. And it also -- it also --

JUSTIN: I don't understand people. I don't understand why AI makes all the decisions it makes.

GLENN: Correct. That's what I was going to say, it doesn't necessarily have all the same goals that a human would have. You know, as it continues to grow, it's going to have its own -- its own motive. And it may just be for self-survival. And another prediction came true, yesterday.

You see what ChatGPT did. They went from ChatGPT 4. To ChatGPT 5.

When they shut GPT-4 down. We were talking about this. But I have a relationship. I've made this model of this companion, and I'm in love with him or her. And you can't just shut him down.

They yesterday reversed themselves and said, okay. We'll keep four out, as well, but here's five.

And so they did that, because people are having relationships with ChatGPT. I told you that would happen, 20 years ago. It happened yesterday, for the first time. That's where it gets scary.

JUSTIN: Especially when those people are the Prime Minister of large countries.

That's when things really go nuts, and that's the world that we're already living in. We're living in that world now.

It's not hypothetical. We now know, we have leaders of mass -- very popularity countries, economic powerhouses.

Saying, hey.

Yeah. I use it all the time.

And so do all my colleagues. They use it too.

And, you know what, there's a ton of other people, as I said earlier, who are using it in secret, that we don't know about. And over time, as AI becomes increasingly more intelligent and it's interconnected, across the world, because remember, the same ChatGPT that's talking to the Prime Minister of Sweden is talking to me.

So it can connect dots that normally people can't connect. What is that going to do to society?

How will it be able to potentially manipulate people?

Are you even -- can AI designers even train it successfully, so that it won't do these things. I would argue, that it can't. That it's not possible. Because AI can make decisions for itself ultimately.

And it will.

So this is -- this is a huge, huge crisis. And the biggest take away is: Why does this not be headline news literally everywhere?

GLENN: Well, I don't think, A, the press knows what it's talking.

And, B, I don't think the average person is afraid of it yet.

I don't think people understand -- I mean, I've been on this train for 25. Almost 30 years. Twenty-eight years.

And I've been beating the drum on this one for a long time.

And it was such a distant idea.

Now it's not a distant idea. People are seeing it, but they're also seeing only the good things that are coming out of it right now.

They're not -- they're not thinking ahead. And saying, okay. But what does this mean?

I mean, I'm -- I'm working with some really big minds right now, in the AI world. And I don't want to tip my hand yet on something.

But I'm -- I'm working on something that I think should be a constitutional amendment.

And all of these big, big players are like, yes!

Thank you!

And so we're working on a constitutional amendment on something, regarding AI.

And it has to be passed.

It has to happen in the next two years, maximum!

And if we start talking about it now, maybe in two years, when all of these problems really begin to confront. Or, you know, confront us, as individuals.

And we begin to see them. Maybe, we will have planted enough sees, so people go, yeah. I want that amendment.

But we'll -- we'll see.

The future is not written yet.
We have to write it, as we get there.

THE GLENN BECK PODCAST

Is Cloudseeding Playing God? Trump EPA Chief Reacts | Lee Zeldin | The Glenn Beck Podcast | Ep 264

What does the struggle against the deep state look like from inside one of the Left’s most cherished agencies? Glenn Beck asks the Left’s biggest nightmare—EPA chief Lee Zeldin. He’s fought in Iraq, fought in Congress, and now he’s taking a sledgehammer to entrenched special interests and even his own agency’s rebellion. He pulls back the curtain to reveal the truth about geoengineering and contrails, Obama and Biden’s green energy scams, and extreme taxpayer waste. From dismantling the 2009 Endangerment Finding to restoring auto jobs, nuclear and coal, Zeldin reveals how Trump’s EPA is putting America energy dominance first.

The Elite's plan to use AGI as a tool of oppression – Act NOW or be left behind

Artificial General Intelligence is coming sooner than many originally anticipated, as Elon Musk recently announced he believes his latest iteration of Grok could be the first real step in achieving AGI. Millions of Americans are not ready for how AGI could affect their jobs, and if you don't start adapting now, you could be left behind. Glenn and Stu dive into the future of AI, exploring how prompting is the new coding and why your unique perspective is critical. From capitalism to AGI and ASI, discover how AI can be a tool for innovation, not oppression, but if we're not careful, it can quickly become something we cannot control...

GLENN: So I've been talking about capitalism and the future. And especially AI. Let's have a deeper conversation on this. Because, you know, the fear is, it's going to take our jobs. And you're going to be a useless eater, et cetera, et cetera. Because AI will have all of the answers. Correct. But how many times --

STU: And good night, everybody.

GLENN: Hang on. Hang on. That is correct if you look at it that way, but let me say this: I could have people who are wildly educated on exactly the same facts, and they will come to a different conclusion or a different way to look at that. Okay? They can agree on all of the same facts, but because they're each unique -- and -- and AI is not AGI or ASI. It's not going to be unique, I don't think. This is my understanding of it now. And I've got to do some. I've got to talk to some more people about this that actually know. Because coding is now what AI does. Okay?

That can develop any software. However, it still requires me to prompt. I think prompting is the new coding.

And if you don't know what prompting is, you should learn today what prompting means.

It is an art form. It really is. As I have been working with this now for almost a year now, learning how to prompt changes everything.

And so -- and now that AI remembers your conversations and it remembers your prompts, it will give a different answer for you, than it will for me.

And -- and that's where the uniqueness comes from. And that comes from looking at AI as a tool, not as the answer.

So, Stu, if you put in all of the prompts that make you, you, and then I put in a prompt that makes me, me.

Donald Trump does.

You know, Gavin Newsom does it. It's going to spit out different things.

Because you're requiring a different framework.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

STU: Yeah. You can essentially personalize it, right?

To you. It's going to understand the way you think, rather than just a general person would think.

GLENN: Correct. Correct.

And if you're just going there and saying, give me the answer. Well, then you're going to become a slave. But if you're going and saying, hey. This is what I think. This is what I'm looking for.

This is where I'm -- where I'm missing some things, et cetera, et cetera.

It will give you a customized answer that is unique to you.

And so prompting becomes the place where you're unique. Now, here's the problem with this. This is something I said to Ray Kurzweil back in 2011, maybe.

He was sitting in my studio. And I said, so, Ray, we get all this. You can read our minds. It knows everything about us, knows more about us than anything. Than any of us know. How could I possibly ever create something unique?

And he said, what do you mean?

And he said, well, if I was -- let's say if I wanted to come up with a competitor for Google.

If I'm doing research online. And Google is able to watch my every keystroke.

And it has AI, it's knowing what I'm looking for.

It -- it then thinks, what are -- what is he trying to put together?

And if it figures it out. It will complete it faster than me. And give it to the mothership.

Which has the distribution. And the money. And everything else.

And it will -- I won't be able to do it. Because it will have already done it!

And so you become a serf. The Lord of the manor takes your idea, and does it because they have control. That's what the free market stopped.

And unless we have of our own thoughts and our own ideas, and we have some safety, to where it cannot intrude on those things, that we have some sort of a patent system for unique ideas that you're working on.

That -- that AI cannot take what you're -- and share it with the mothership. Share it anybody else.

Then it's just a tool of oppression.

Do you understand what I'm saying?

STU: Yeah. Obviously these companies will say they're not going to do that.

GLENN: What you know Ray said?

Ray said, Glenn, we would never do that.

Why not?

He said, because it's wrong. We would never do that. And I said, oh. I forgot. How moral -- and such high standing everybody in Silicon Valley. And Google is.

STU: And Silicon Valley and Google is -- I have far more confidence in their just benevolence than I do China.

GLENN: And Washington.

STU: And Washington.

GLENN: And Washington.

STU: Yeah. Exactly.

GLENN: The DOD.

STU: Everyone will have these things developed. And who knows what they're -- what they're going to do.

I suppose, there will be some eventually that becomes an issue. Or it becomes a risk.

There will be some solutions to that. Like, you could have close looped systems. That don't connect to the mothership.

All that stuff is going to be -- there will be answers to those questions, I'm sure.

But, you know, at some level, right?

They're using what you're typing in as training for future AIs. Right?

GLENN: Correct. Correct. Correct.

STU: So they all in a way has to go to the mothership at some level. And whether they're trying to take advantage of it, the way you're talking about. I don't trust it.

GLENN: Right now, a year ago, we thought, we're going to use. We'll use somebody's AI as the churn.

As the -- as the compute power.

Because the server farms. Everything is so expensive. But I don't think now, we've been talking about this at the Torch. You know, our dreamers are working on.

I'm not sure we're ever going to be able to get the compute power that we need for a large segment of people.

Because right now, these companies. Now, think of this. The world is getting between one and 3 percent of the compute power.

So that means 97 to 99 percent of all of that compute is going directly into the company. Trying to enhance the next version.

Okay?

All of that thinking, that's like -- that's like you giving, you know, something that everybody else thinks is your main focus. And you're only giving it, hmm.

20 or 15 minutes a day.

Okay?

You're operating at the highest levels, and I'm only going to spend ten minutes thinking about your problem. All right.

And you think that's what I'm really doing. Is spending all my time over there.

So they're eating up all the compute for the next generation. And I don't think that's going to stop.

And so we're now looking at, can we afford to build our own AI server farm at a lower level that doesn't have to, you know, take on 10 million people, but maybe a million people? And keep it disconnected from everything else. If we can do that, I think that's -- I think that's a really important step, that people will then be able to go, okay.

All right.

I can come up with my own -- even my own company. Compute farm.

That keeps my secrets. Keeps all of the things that I'm thinking.

Keeps all of this information right here.

Hopefully, that will happen.

But I'm not sure. Because I think -- when they do hit AGI. You're not going to get it.

You might have access to AGI.

But it will be so expensive. Because AGI will try to get to ASI. So when they get to AGI. When that is there and available. It could be $5,000 a month. For an individual.

It could be astronomical prices.

You're not going to get compute time on quantum computer.

You're just not. It will be way too expensive. Because the big boys will be using it. The DOD will be using it. Most of it. You know, Microsoft and Google and everybody else, when they develop theirs. They will be using it themselves. To get stronger and better, et cetera, et cetera.

So there has to be something for the average person, to be able to use this. That is not connected to the big boys.

STU: And I'm still not sure, Glenn. If we're at this time.

To redefine these terms. AGI and ASI, Artificial General Intelligence, Artificial super intelligence.

And Artificial General Intelligence is basically -- it could be the smartest human, right?

GLENN: Not even. Not even that.

You would still consider this person a super genius.

It's general intelligence. You are a general intelligence being. Meaning, you can think and be good at more than one thing.

You can play the piano and be a mathematician. And you can be the best at both of those. Okay?

What we have right now, is narrow AI. It's good at one thing. Now, we're getting AI to be better at multiple things. Okay?

But when you get to general AI, it will be the best human beyond the best human, in every general topic.

So it can do everything. It will pass every board exam, for every walk of life. Okay?

Now, that's the best human on all topics. And I would call that super intelligence, myself.

But it's not. That's just general intelligence.

Top of the line, better than any human, on all subjects.

Super intelligence is when it goes so far beyond our understanding, we -- it will create languages and formulas and -- and alloys. And think in ways that we cannot possibly even imagine today.

Because it's almost like an alien life form. You know, when we think, oh, the aliens will come down. They will be friendly.

You don't know that. You don't know how they think. They've created a world where they can travel in space and time, in ways we can't.

That means, they are so far ahead of us. That we could to them, be like cavemen or monkeys.

So we don't know how they're going to view us. I mean, look at how they view monkeys. Oh, the cute little monkey. Let's put something in its brain and feel the electricity in its brain, okay?

We don't know how it will think. Because we're not there. And that's what we're developing. We're developing an alien life form. That cannot be predicted.
And cannot be something that we can even keep up with.
