<\/p>\nTODD: I spent a good, long time in the tech world, and I was rewarded financially and intellectually in that regard. I worked not directly for, but several levels under Bill Gates (before he got weird), and I do believe that technology is a tool. The problem is (laughing) that modern tech titans think of us as the tools, all right? So much of the business model makes us the product. It\u2019s one of the reasons I personally don\u2019t have a smart speaker in my house.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m not going to have a smart speaker in my house, or a thermostat, or anything like that. Two reasons. One is because I don\u2019t trust the CEOs of those companies and their leftism. The other is because I know that if something can be coded, then it can be hacked. That\u2019s just a fact. Code can be uncoded or recoded. But it\u2019s not tech that\u2019s the problem. “Amazon Customers Have One Week to Opt Out of a Mass Wireless Sharing Program.”<\/p>\n
So the smart speakers and devices in your homes, Amazon foresaw that what they\u2019re really building is a nationwide Wi-Fi network with all of these little touch points. Verizon did the same thing with their ladders. Comcast Cable did the same thing with their routers. They were building a nationwide infrastructure of mobile hot spots.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a proxy for a national Wi-Fi network, which would allow them to track and run ads, et cetera, et cetera. It\u2019s a brilliant, brilliant move. So you have one week to turn off this wireless sharing. Because, in my mind, “Hey, you want me to share my bandwidth? Send me a check! Oh, by the way, let me censor what runs on my network, \u2019cause Amazon has censored things.”<\/p>\n
Incidentally, it looks like Amazon and Barnes & Noble have removed from view, the Fauch\u2019s new book, called The Long Grift. We\u2019ll talk about that, maybe tomorrow. So Rush, of course, loved tech — absolutely loved it — and the media is playing this game. They want to get clicks and views with scare bait about Amazon\u2019s new device. But Rush warned us that the technology wasn\u2019t our problem. Liberalism is.<\/a><\/p>\n RUSH: Are you aware of all of the talk from people like Bill Gates and Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking about the very real fear they have that artificial intelligence is going to wipe out humanity if we are not careful? Have you seen those stories? You have? Good. They\u2019re everywhere, folks, particularly if you spend any time reading tech news.<\/p>\n What\u2019s artificial intelligence? Well, think robots. I mean, basic artificial intelligence is Siri in your iPhone or whatever they have in Google, Alexa, the Amazon thing? All of these assistants in these various operating systems that you can talk to, dictate to, ask to find you things, that\u2019s a very, very rudimentary artificial intelligence. But it\u2019s being invested in daily. It\u2019s being explored.<\/p>\n When you get into robotics — and I don\u2019t mean butler and servant and waiter, waitress kind of robotics, but real robotics that takes over some jobs and leaves people forever unemployed \u2019cause the robots never get sick. We already have robotics, my point is. We\u2019ve already got artificial intelligence. It\u2019s called liberalism. The real people we should be afraid of in the world today are the people universities are churning out. You can see it in the comments section at Twitter, at Facebook. You can see these people everywhere.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/APP-20201-060321-Rush-Artificial-Intelligence-2.jpg\")
Elon Musk and Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking are gods to techie Millennial people, and so is Bill Nye the Science Guy, to show you how screwed up these kids are. These four people are infallible. They are as close to religious figures as Millennial leftists will acknowledge. And they\u2019re out there daily warning of the dangers posed by artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
