The REAL Reason AI Is About To Change Everything
Geopolitical expert Ian Bremmer, founder of Eurasia Group and a man who has forecast the world’s biggest risks for over 25 years, explains why the AI revolution is about to make intelligence itself something you have to pay for, and why that could split humanity into two different species.
Steven raises the scale of what’s happening: Jeff Bezos raising 100 billion dollars for an AI venture, Elon Musk with xAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenAI, all racing to build superintelligence. If intelligence becomes the most powerful commodity on Earth, then whoever controls it holds extraordinary power. Bremmer points to Sam Altman’s own framing, that you will pay for intelligence the way you pay for water or gas. To the average person, that sounds absurd. Intelligence feels like something we have free will over. Suddenly, a company could control it.
Discover:
• Why Sam Altman warns you’ll pay for intelligence like water or gas
• Why Bremmer says AI could split humanity into two different species
• The three types of governance he believes we urgently need
• Why the US and China need AI arms control before a crisis, not after
• What an “AI stability board” would do and why we don’t have one
• Why Bremmer fears humans becoming computer-like more than he fears AGI
• How your smartphone is programming you into a lane
• Why resisting the algorithm may be the most human thing you can do

A delusional dude lecturing me about the aliens not seeing borders is nauseating. Yeah that would be great but it’s NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. We would be speaking x language tomorrow. Hell, the liberals have already invited the invasion…

I'm sorry, I'm sooo tired of this decades old elite idea that we need to help and 'save' Africa. Africa is not poor and 3rd world because it's stupid, its because its corrupt. Africa is so resource rich they have had long enough to learn from the world to save itself. The racist thinking of low expectations. The 1st world has been dumping money into African countries for years. I refuse to feel guilty for success anymore. I'll help truly needy people in my own community thanks.

The conversation isn’t being guided by any algorithms, but we are pushed these videos with different people by algorithms… that might not decide what you talk about, but it decides who sees it…

How naive does this fool think the rest of the world is that they can rely on China or the US to honor any agree to commitment not to work on a powerful weapon system both sides are going to promise they're not doing it and both sides are going to race to do it don't be so stupid

At about 1:18, "When we were fighting the Soviets". OMG, I didn't know we were fighting the Soviets! This is news to me! We were in a "Cold War" and we are now in a proxy war with Russia (post Soviet) via Ukraine, but we never fought the Soviets dude! I stopped watching at this point.

This is an original soundtrack that’s inspired by the 90’s Era of music from the KOF franchise.

With all respect to both, thinking that people who hate you are BOTs is the most stupid way of thinking i ever saw. Ignore humanity can HATE something or someone is like open all doors of your house and leave it to go in supermarket.

This guy has obviously never heard of decentralized Bittensor, which addresses all of his issues with artificial intelligence. As for energy, Helion energy and TAE are going to be live with fusion energy 2027-2028. The problem we currently have is big government and organized religions that are desperately trying to hold onto their current control over the world. 🌎

In Logan’s Run, no one was allowed to live past 30. Seeing an ancient with a beard was almost mythical.
Now imagine a world run by algorithms. Catching sight of a human who has never been shaped by the machine will feel the same way… rare, almost unreal.

This fella is completely wrong . We are certainly heading to a one world government, is he clueless? Also , it sounds all lovely to have a one world government running everything , but these people who say these things never ask what these people believe and how they would govern 😂😂. Just some fairytale as if that wouldn’t be hell on earth.

Here's a thought. Like on the entire idea of "are they bots". Maybe when we're on the internet we are the bots. What I mean by that, is that this space has very, very different social rules. Is it hard to believe that someone could be perfectly reasonable in person and a raving lunatic online? I don't think we talk about this concept enough.

9:15 He is completely wrong here and shows how you all do not comprehend language. I have been the villian in my own story many times. Many. And I do not regret any of them. Yet this shows how he can go on this dudes podcast and state that no one places themselves as the villian is upsurd because as you can see I exist. so there is someone who is okay with knowing self was a villian as you have both positive and negative in you and in every cell along with neutral.. You are a three energy in one system not a Dualistic binary system. You have been limit to a false mental reality…. Oh by the way Stephen and all the rest of these guys do not give a fuck about you the peasant. Trust one is a peasant speaking. Or you can continue to listen to out of touch millionaires and billionaires. They use your energy against you to make them money. Just like this comment is doing for Stephen even though he will not respond to me. And I have reached out personally to attempt to explain how language has been manipulated. And you would think that that subject would be right up his alley yet it is not because it would equally expose him as the fraud he is just like all the rest.

It is about who has ownership of knowledge, it was inside people's heads and is now moving into data centers, which will sell it to businesses, which will get it cheaper than paying individuals for it.
This is a knowledge revolution greater than the invention of the printing press.The main difference is that the printing press decentalised knowledge. This is the opposite, it will be about centralising knowledge.

Bremmer is controlled opposition. He support an apartheid state of Israel build on land stolen from native Palestinians that Israel is now erasing through genocide. These people should have no public platform. Shame on DOAC for having him on.
