AI's Threats / Sasquatch Encounters

About the show

In the first half, investment banker and risk manager James Rickards discussed the danger AI poses to the global financial order, and the insidious ways in which AI could threaten national security, and why it's up to us to intervene with old-fashioned human logic and common sense before it's too late. "We shouldn't be scared, but we should be cautious," he remarked. While Rickards highlighted the dual nature of AI, which can be beneficial in fields like biomedicine, where it can analyze billions of combinations to find potential cures, in the realm of finance, if we become over-reliant on AI to make decisions, it might fuel faster and more severe market downturns or crashes by amplifying sell-off situations or panics.

Similarly, he expressed concerns about the escalating tensions surrounding nuclear powers and the role of artificial intelligence in warfare and decision-making. In the current geopolitical climate, "we're climbing up the ladder towards nuclear war," he said, referencing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. He warned against the potential for AI to exacerbate these tensions, arguing that AI lacks the human ability to use intuition and experiential knowledge in high-stakes situations. Rickards was also critical of AI's biases, illustrating this with examples of AI-generated images that misrepresented historical facts, like depicting female popes or black Vikings in an attempt to be more diverse or inclusive. He concluded by stressing the need for a balanced approach in utilizing AI, advocating for human oversight in areas where emotional intelligence and moral judgment are crucial.

In the latter half,  Jim Myers, Sasquatch researcher, public speaker, and co-owner of the Sasquatch Outpost and Discovery Museum in Bailey, Colorado, shared his lifelong fascination with the elusive creature. He said he prefers the term "Sasquatch," explaining, "Bigfoot is a term given by a journalist in 1958... Sasquatch is one of many Native American names." He believes the creature embodies both physical and interdimensional qualities: "I think it's physical when it wants or needs to be physical, and it can be interdimensional or invisible when it wants or needs to be that." He pointed out that Sasquatch sightings are not limited to the Pacific Northwest, noting, "They've been seen in every state in the US," as well as locations outside North America. He commented that while many think of Sasquatch as an ape, their human-like behavior and paranormal abilities, such as telepathy, suggest otherwise.

Myers described his expeditions around Bailey where he conducts night hikes and camping trips as part of his Rabbit Hole Adventures. He recounted tales of possible healing encounters with Sasquatch, where individuals reported miraculous recoveries after interactions. He also detailed an alleged account where a juvenile Sasquatch was captured by employees at a Colorado ski resort, and an adult Sasquatch rescued the younger one and in the process tore off the arm of one of the captors. Additionally, Myers reported on tree structures associated with Sasquatch, including bent, broken, and upside-down trees stuck back in the ground to make an arch, and how these constructions demonstrate great physical strength.
