Its Over for Us: Chinas AI Seedance Takes Internet by Storm

➡ The show discusses various topics including the potential impact of ByteDance’s new AI video engine, Sea Dance, on Hollywood and news reporting, and the possibility of it being used to create deep fakes. They also discuss bizarre news stories, a ghost sighting in a museum, and a potential Mandela Effect involving a Doritos Super Bowl commercial contest. The hosts also interact with their audience through a live Q&A on Rise TV.
➡ A filmmaker named Christopher Grider made a Doritos commercial for a contest 12 years ago, which didn’t win or air anywhere. However, many people claim to have seen it, remembering specific details, leading to speculation about the Mandela effect. The commercial’s theme was later used in an official Doritos ad. Despite the lack of recognition, Grider is glad people are seeing his work and finds the situation intriguing.
➡ The discussion revolves around a metaphysical channel’s video that explores various topics, including the possibility of alien life and ancient technology in Greenland. The speakers suggest that the high UFO activity and the presence of valuable minerals like uranium might be why America is interested in Greenland. They also discuss a new AI technology from China that can create continuous video clips, and the potential implications this could have on industries like Hollywood.
➡ The speaker shares their experience with an AI tool, discussing its capabilities and limitations. They mention a dream they had about a strange scenario involving friends disappearing, a helicopter, and reptilian creatures. They attempted to recreate this dream using the AI tool, but faced challenges in getting the exact results they wanted. Despite some issues, they found the tool intriguing and plan to continue exploring its potential.
➡ The text discusses the limitations of artificial intelligence (AI) in creating art and movies. While AI can assist in certain areas like special effects, it lacks the human touch and artistic genius required to conceive and create high-quality content. The text also highlights copyright issues with AI and the need for laws to regulate its use. Lastly, it emphasizes that the best results come from a mix of human artistry and AI, as seen in movies like Lord of the Rings.
➡ The text discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on filmmaking and censorship. It highlights the shift from CGI to practical filming techniques, and the appreciation audiences have for this. The text also discusses the use of AI for censorship, particularly in China, and the potential misuse of AI in creating false narratives in news stories. Lastly, it touches on the potential for AI to be used for surveillance and military applications.
➡ The text discusses concerns about China’s use of technology and weaponry, suggesting it poses a global threat. It mentions the discovery of bio labs in the US linked to Chinese spies, and criticizes the lack of action taken against these threats. The text also discusses the influence of the Chinese Communist Party and calls for people to be more aware of these issues. Lastly, it introduces a topic about the Nazis’ search for powerful artifacts during World War II, specifically the Spear of Destiny.

It’s, it’s. Hey, everyone. Welcome to the show. So is Hollywood doomed? That’s what some are saying. After Tick Tock’s Chinese parent company, ByteDance released their new AI video engine called Sea Dance, which is so realistic that some are saying you can’t even tell the difference between what is now a movie and AI anymore. Although I did use it and I have some thoughts about it. So I’ll show you what I, what I made later on, you guys. Yeah. What does this mean for Hollywood or news reporting? Could it be used to make deep fakes of people as well? Join us, Ben, Chastine and Rob counts on this Edge of Wonder live as we cover all of this, plus the Mandela effect and the metaphysical minute segments.

Yeah. And then exclusively on Rise TV during the Dig Deep Live Q A, you can ask us your questions directly in our exclusive Rise chat that we have on Rise TV. And finally, in the fan favorite top 10 weirder news of the week, you’ll hear hilarious and bizarre stories such as. Yeah, such as stranger things looking creatures invading a beach or a brawl breaking out in Turkish Parliament. That one’s sure to be fun. And snow NATO plus a lot more. And as always, we’ll see you out on the edge. Will it work? There we go. Confetti and balloons both at the same time.

Wow, that is wild. So how, how are you doing, Rob? Excellent. Yes. How are you? Very cool. Yeah. Good. It’s been as you know, crazy week. It’s like non stop. Everything coming out in the news and everything. It’s like a really bad car crash that you can’t stop looking at as you drive by. Yeah, I know. You know, I, I, it’s like the whole thing where Pam Bondi is like, oh, well, we can’t arrest, if we arrested everybody, it would literally like destroy our government. Like we wouldn’t have a government anymore. And it’s like the more you keep thinking about that comment, it’s like, so wait a minute, you’re telling us that we possibly have like all these crazy, these people have done horrific things that are running our government around the world and just because we’re afraid of, oh, the government collapsing, we probably shouldn’t do anything.

Yeah. My only reply to that is going to be Bigfoot 2028, I think at this point. My gosh. Yeah. And I mean, granted, you know, this is all speculation right now. I mean there’s obviously stuff coming out, but you know, it’s just, but it’s still kind of crazy about that. But anyway, on more of like, you know, kind of a lighter note. I think everybody in the world is kind of talking about this right now. So we are kind of talking about doing something a little different and all this AI stuff’s coming out. But this is kind of interesting.

And this is the other problem with some of the AI stuff is that now it’s kind of hard to tell whether something is a real photo, a real video because you could easily do it with AI. But I was going to put this in Weirder News. So this is like kind of the topics that we do on Weirder News. For those of you guys that haven’t joined us on Rise tv. But this was. Looks like a ghost that was caught on camera. And. And this is in a museum. And at first I was. I looked at this photo and I just kept thinking like what the heck is going on here? It just looks like some scaffolding in this theater.

But then if you look on the. On the left, bottom left. Yeah. You can see a little boy. Yeah. And it does. He does look like he’s wearing kind of more like an older style. Like you know, maybe 19 have shades on or something. Why? Are his eyes black? No, it does look like that. That’s why it looks either sunglasses or glasses. I was trying to see. It was a. It was taken by a contractor working on a theaters ongoing. They’re refurbishing the whole thing and that’s what the scaffolding is for. And you know, I would wager that 98 of museums are haunted.

I. I would leave like 98, 99, maybe all of them. Because they’ve got so many relics and old things, things with history in them that there’s no way there’s not attached things to at least one of them. So I guess I don’t. I’m trying to figure out where this museum is. Oldham’s old. Oldham’s Museum. Oldham. That’s got to be in Britain, dude. Yeah, that’s what I’m. It’s like what they eat in Britain. Old ham. I don’t know. Their cuisine isn’t up to snuff so they just name things after their food. And it’s like him. Well, I guess they said the theater is.

Is haunted by a guy named Harold Norman who is thought to haunt the theater. But this image shows to. Seems to show a young boy. And it’s also in grayscale. I noted. I noticed that too. You know, everything’s in color and he’s gray and he’s. You know, so I mean it could be, you Know, with all this stuff, there’s always a possibility that something like this is fake. However, it’s kind of interesting that there’s a whole bunch of backstory here and I guess many people are familiar with this museum or theater, that it is haunted. So it’s kind of cool that this guy caught this photo.

The other question is, is like, why would a guy just take a photo of the scaffolding in this whole area? But I think it looks like from the article he was taking a photo of kind of the construction of what they were currently working on and then. Yeah. Or like they were raising, you know, for some type of. Yeah. Art exhibit. Right. Yeah. So kind of crazy. Anyway, just want to show footage like that and just this one happened to get released because Oldham gives no. You know what? So true. All right, why don’t we get into the weekly Bendela Effect and then we’ll have the Rob’s Metaphysical Minute here.

So I’m really curious about what you guys think of this. This is, this is interesting. This was just posted:5 days ago on Reddit and this guy said he has a. He’s like, I am the. The title of this is I, I Am I At the Heart of a New Global Mandela Effect. Sorry, I thought he was making a statement. He was asking a question. Ago I posted a TikTok and an Instagram reel where I shared an old video I made 12 years ago for a Doritos super bowl commercial contest in 2014. The prize was a million bucks and there was also runner up prizes and the winners would become official super bowl commercials.

I didn’t win or finalize and it received no recognition or success. But after making my post a few days ago, just sharing it for fun, I’ve gained hundreds or thousands and thousands of. Of comments across social media or, you know, all the social media from people swear that they know my commercial and that it aired around the Super. Or the. The world. Oh, that aired around the world and even a Super bowl commercial. And so he’s just kind of putting this out there to see what people remember, he says. I also found out the next year’s contest winner also made a commercial with my concept about pigs flying.

It definitely. It’s definitely possible people are mixing up mine with that. But I’m baffled at the amount of people who say they specifically know my ad. They say they swear they remember the lasers, the explosions, and the guy with the hat with the ear flaps. So let’s watch this thing and see. I. I actually haven’t even watched this yet. Because I want to save it. What is Haley Jo Osmond doing in this clip? Is that Haley J. Lawsman? It looks like. Kind of looks like him. Okay, let’s see. Let’s see. What. What is this? Are those Doritos? Yeah.

Can I have one? Yeah, right. That’ll happen the day the pigs can shoot lasers out of there. What? Oh, that’s a solid commercial. Now, look, I’m not mad that I didn’t win the contest, but I do think it went unnoticed and unrecognized. And the reason I’m posting it now is because I just saw that Doritos is currently rewarding content creators to make video submissions, which, by the way, this is my video submission. This video you’re watching is the submission where they’re telling a story of how Doritos somehow impacted them in some way or showed up bold in their life during the Super Bowl.

And it’s so funny, because I had that idea for that commercial when I was a child. Like, whenever I was, like, in middle school, it wasn’t. I didn’t know what the product would be, but I just always thought it’d be so funny to have somebody that keeps, like, changing their sentence because they don’t want to share the product. So, you know, flash forward. You know, I grow up, I become a filmmaker, and this Doritos commercial pops up, and I’m like, oh, this is perfect. I had to. I rented a pig, put it on, like, a lazy Susan, and, like, spun it slowly, a green screen so that we could, like, animate the wings, and, you know, hired these.

These dudes who were just, like, this perfect kind of Beavis and Butthead vibe. Like, I casted them. I did all the styling as well, like, the clothes, and I had a blast making it, so no complaints. But I did want to show it again, because Doritos, if you’re watching this, if you never saw it, hit me up. Come on, let’s make it happen. That feels like a Super bowl commercial. Along. That is wild. It does feel like a Super bowl commercial. Feel like I’ve seen that before. I remember pigs flying, but I don’t remember the lasers coming out of their butts.

Why did that. Is that what he said? I thought it was their eyes. Maybe it was. No, his butt. It was his. The lasers came out of its butt and blew up what was behind it. That’s what was so funny. I thought it was coming out of his eyes because I was. There’s so much going on. It was kind of small, and I’m just like watching everything and I just see the laser. So. No, it was like. It was, it was funny because it was like. It was already like, oh, pigs are flying. And then the pigs.

Yeah. Shoot a laser beam out of its butt. Yeah, right. That’ll happen the day the pigs can shoot lasers out of their. That is pretty. Now, look, I’m not mad that I, I feel. Yeah, I feel like there was a concept that was very similar, but not that one directly. Yeah, that’s what I remember. Wild. That he’s getting so many comments about people saying they remember this commercial well. And he’s a filmmaker and now he’s a part of the Mandela effect. Yeah. Gotta reach out to this guy and be like, let’s do something. That would be awesome.

Who. What’s that guy’s name? Lindsay Haley Joel Osmond. So there is another. There is another. Is this a. There is another one. He says his name on Reddit is Christopher Grider. But yes, he has a follow up video too, about whatever’s going on right now with my Doritos commercial. If you didn’t see it, I posted a video like 24 hours ago where I was sharing a Doritos commercial that I directed 12 years ago as a submission for a contest for Doritos that thousands of people submitted to. And I swear nobody saw it. It had no success.

It never aired anywhere. It wasn’t even a runner up. Nothing. And I am getting endless, overwhelming comments. Many, many of them are saying they’ve seen it. It’s like this weird trippy Mandela effect. People remember, like, specific details about it. So then, doing my research, Doritos had an official commercial the year after me that used the same theme. My theme was about, you know, the person asking for a Dorito, he says, yeah, that’ll happen the day that pigs can fly. And. And then the next year, the official Doritos commercial is around the same thing. The kid asks, have a Dorito? Sure, when pigs fly.

And so, yeah, you know, it’s clearly my theme. A lot of people. Your idea. Weirder, though, is the amount of people who are just dead set. Like, no, they’ve seen mine. Like, they remember specific things from mine that’ll happen the day the pigs can shoot lasers out of their. I uploaded my video 24th, 2013. It’s gotten 8, 000 views. 337 likes. That’s nothing. But all these people are like, I saw this on TV Core Memory commercial. Is this a Mandela effect? I’ve seen this before. I remember the dude spitting his Gum. I swear this has aired before.

I say it never aired or got any recognition, but I do find it strange how many comments swear that they think they’ve seen this before. Creepy Mandela effect. No, I truly have seen this before. Like, I remember the actors faces and everything, bro. We have all literally seen this commercial. Wait, hold on. I definitely have seen this before. And I saw people saying there was another when pigs fly Doritos ad, and that’s probably why I think so, but it’s not. I just looked up that ad, and I definitely have never seen that, but I know I’ve seen this.

I remember this commercial. Yeah, it’s pretty weird because every single frame was 100 familiar from the gum spit. I was like, oh, I’ve seen this. Ooh. What if some of us are in the universe where your commercial won? I don’t know how to tell you, but that played in Canada in the early 2000s. I 10,000% remember this. I’ve also seen this commercial. No question in my mind. I know I sound crazy, but I feel like there’s a parallel reality where he won and a lot of people saw it. Nah, bro, I saw it too. This is scary.

I’ve seen this commercial. I think they blocked it in your region, bud. I swear I saw this. I 100% saw this ad in Australia. Is this a Mandela effect? I’ve seen this before. I remember this commercial. Oh, I swear this aired on tv. Dude, you really did win in a different plane. And all of us saw it and loved it. I don’t know why I remember this, but it’s the greatest. Why are there so many? So many? Anyways, I’m not really sure what to make of all this, but I find it really interesting, and I’m glad that people are seeing the commercial.

I am soaking. Okay. That is wild. What if when you handed in your commercial. I’m just trying to think this through, right? What if when you handed in your commercial, you signed over the rights to it and that was a part of it, and then they played it in certain regions that he’s not in. Could be. Could be. Because you wouldn’t remember it from just one. One super bowl ad. You’d remember it if it was on all the time. Right? Because the dude said he saw it in Australia. Because super bowl ads are, like, so iconic that usually you remember those, you know, But.

But I do remember the other pig one, which wasn’t a Doritos, though. That one. I do. I do remember this one, and I think that’s the one I was talking about similar, but there’s no lasers. So the fact that there was, like, a lasers one, it’s kind of weird. Yeah. I would love to have the guy on the show to talk about this, though, and ask him these questions. Yeah. Because now I want to know what he thinks about the whole Mandela effect. Yeah, me too. Me too. You know, and I also want to know what kind of filmmaking he does.

I mean, like, Sinbad went from, like, calling everybody lunatics to questioning his own reality now. Oh. I mean, that is also a core memory of mine. Walking into Video World and seeing Shazam on all of the shelves. Well, you know. You know what I. I found out I was looking at. Because I’m actually doing something right now about all this. And I was looking at his movies, and, you know, he was in House Guest. And I really. Growing up. I don’t know why, I really liked House Guest a lot. Lindsay, pull up the. The poster for House Guest.

Just type in Houseguest. Sinbad poster. And what’s weird is that you see him, his head is coming out of the mailbox, and it’s the ref in reference to Shazam. Because he made this right after Shazam. And it’s. It’s like. It’s like the whole genie out of the lamp thing. And that’s. I was real. I. I was, like, looking at this, and I’m like, that’s why they did this. So I don’t know. I remember this movie poster, too. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don’t think I ever saw this, though. It’s actually really funny. I haven’t seen it in years, but I remember it used to be one of my favorite comedy movies of all time for a while, because it’s just so funny.

Wow. Yeah. And Phil Hartman. It’s one of the last movies he was in before he died, too. I think he died in the 90s. It could. Something like that. So anyway, crazy stuff. Really very strange Mandela effect for that one. But. And speaking of, like, pigs flying, the ironic thing is for our. One of the. One of the articles that I picked out for our weirdest news talks about pigs flying, too. And there’s a video of a pig flying. So it’s. No, just very strange that happened. All right, moving on to your metaphysical minute. Rob. Yeah.

This week on metaphysical, we have an episode on the Greenland UFOs. We. You and I did an episode on this as well, Ben. And this is John and I going through all of the footage and all of the. The different types of sightings that there have been in Greenland. And then John doing remote viewing. John and his team doing remote viewing on this particular sighting that was in. That was in Greenland. That’s in the thumbnail. And then who the aliens are, what their technology is like, and it gets really spiritual. So if you guys want to check this out, definitely go to the metaphysical channel.

Hype this video. Watch this video. Yeah, give us a like and check it out. It’s pretty awesome. Yeah. What did you think, Lindsay? You. You had to watch that. That episode. What did you. Approximately, probably, yes. It was really interesting. You know, I have my favorite topics, for sure, but I liked that you had a good mix in this one of like, real footage or footage that you could kind of had a good chance of talking about if it’s real or not, versus like, definitely fake stuff or A.I. yeah, actually some things that you really did debunk and then some ancient stuff.

It was kind of an interesting group of topics, overlapping aliens. Yes, I agree. And. And a lot of times the whole. All the alien discussions always revolve around, you know, little creepy men with big eyes. And this was not that. This is. This is some type of really interesting alien race with very interesting technology. So you think that’s one of the reasons why they want Greenland so bad, is because. No, I don’t. Or. Well, okay, here’s the thing. Greenland, the UFO discussion is a very taboo topic around the world, not just in. In America. And what.

The documentary maker who released that footage, I think his name is Martin Kleist. Claire, Correct me if I’m wrong, Lindsay. What he was saying is that he’s talked to a ton of military officers in Greenland and they’ve all experienced seeing craft, and when asked why no one’s talking about it, they say that it gets swept under the rug by the Greenland officials. You know, they. He asked them, hey, have you told America about this? No, they haven’t told the US about this. Of course, the US probably knows about it. I think that Greenland really is a extremely layered topic.

Why America wants Greenland or why they want to be in Greenland. And I think most of it has to do with national security and the rare earth minerals that are there. The rare earth minerals, including and not limited to uranium, which has to do with developing nuclear weaponry, among many other things. So Greenland is very enriched. I think the. Greenland is very. It’s. It’s. It’s the Northern hemisphere’s version of Antarctica. In terms of the weirdness that’s under the ice there. Could there be things there. Could there be ancient technology? I think we’d be silly to think that there isn’t.

I think there’s ancient technology on every continent, but I don’t think that that’s the main reason that they want it. Yeah. What do you think? What do I think? Yeah. Yeah. Or I didn’t know if you’re asking me or Lindsay. Sorry. No, I, I, I agree. I mean, I, that’s kind of my impression too. I mean there’s a lot of talk about, you know, some crazy structures and all kinds of things under Greenland, but there’s not, you know, people are talking about it very concrete without really any solid proof. But the UFO stuff, you can actually, like you said you can reference that back.

There’s a lot of activity up there. Usually when there’s from, from my understanding, usually when there’s a lot of UFO activity in a certain area, there’s something going on there either energetically or underneath Greenland. No, it would be kind of interesting to see what, how far back it really goes to because, you know, once upon a time it was, from my understanding it was a more of like a lush green place. You know, we’re talking about like over 10,000 years ago. We’re studying the Earth was like very different. So there could be all kinds of things that are there.

You know, there could be remnants of some kind of like Atlantis civilization even there, you know, we don’t know. So I, but I, but I think there is. Yeah. Yeah. And that’s what you were, I think you guys gonna get into that too a little bit, right? Yeah, a little bit. Yeah. And it’s specifically the type of materials that are under the ice that this particular alien race would be looking for. Yeah, yeah, that, and that kind of makes sense to me. Plus it’s very isolated, so it would be easier to kind of get away with things for, you know, alien wise, you show up there and not worry about as much.

There’s not a lot of people up there, so, so yeah, I mean, and also not even around. I mean, I keep hearing things underwater around there. There’s things that have, even old ships that are potentially there. So anyway, it makes sense, you know, whether it’s oil, you know, natural resources, minerals, or some kind of tech. To me, you know, doesn’t kind of make sense. So I mean, it, it, yeah, I, I, I think on the surface it would be the minerals that are there and whatever we end up paying for it, you know, we would probably make that up with if, if there really, if it really is like rich in minerals that we would need to make like, you know, semiconductors or whatever needs to be made.

So. All right, listen, I want to watch a trailer and then I want to get into this Sea Dance stuff because I want to see the. The Ben slop you created on AI, it was based on a dream I had, so I gotta see this. So weird. The planet is dying. Reduce, reuse, recycle. Made to feel guilty for causing climate change. But what if this is a bigger agenda being financed by Big Oil itself? In Edge of Wonder’s explosive series, the big Oil industrial complex, we ask, is it all a big scam when it comes to oil? It does so much more than just provide our gas.

Yet people know very little about how much oil goes into creating one of the biggest potential health threats on the planet right now. Plastic. Bike to work. Watch your carbon footprint. Don’t use plastic straws. Are the companies pointing fingers really the ones responsible for the destruction? Why are there plastics in our blood? And if everyone cares so much, then why is there not more pressure on these massive companies to make changes? Who’s really behind it all and why are they doing this? Is the focus on profits making these industries turn a blind eye to what they are really doing to our bodies? Nowadays, plastic is in everything, including all bubble gum.

Get ready for an expose that will turn the oil industry on its head. You won’t believe what we found. Yeah, you can find that Big Oil industrial complex series on Rise tv. That’s along with a thousand other videos and different series we’ve created over the years. And you can get access to all of that just by supporting our work, showing us a little bit of love, buying us a couple coffees every month if you will, and helping us keep the lights on. We’ve got tons and tons of content on there that’ll keep you busy for a long time time stuff that, stuff that we, we really care about, that we think is really important for people to understand about what we’re missing as a human race.

Like the things that are mysterious that, that not only should we be looking at, but that also can raise your consciousness. So definitely check out Rise TV and, and become a part of our community and, and help us out a little bit. Yeah, we definitely appreciate it everybody who’s been following us all these years too. So thank you everybody. All right, well, okay, so the Sea Dance. So this is China’s new AI thing, which they probably ripped off somewhere else or use the code for, I would imagine. And it’s. The parent company is bytedance, who owns Tick Tock and And so More, with most AI out there, you can only do about eight to 10 seconds.

And with this one, it looks like if you, if you get the, the highest paid plan, you can get 15 seconds. And you can also stitch them together in a way that it’s like, oh, I want this, I want this scene to end with this clip here. So let’s, you know, since it’s only doing 15 seconds at a time, this is why it’s crazy because some of these videos out there are getting to be like one minute long. And it’s like, how are they doing this? Where you can actually say, okay, this 15 second clip ends here and you can tell it.

I want to start with this clip there. So for the next, for like the, the, the second part of it. So like, so the first 15 seconds and then the second teens the second 15 seconds. So it looks pretty continuous and that’s how they’re able to do this. So the one that, that’s kind of making the rounds and went super viral is this fight with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Yeah. And so the Deadpool director, Rhett, he, he spoke out and he says, I hate to say it, it’s likely over for us. Meaning like the world and Hollywood.

I, I would love to know what the prompt was for this because I, I, after using it myself, it is so hard to get it exactly the way you want. So, yeah, I mean, all prompting is like this. Oh my gosh. I know. Well, here’s some more. And this is wild. So this went totally viral. I mean, everyone knew it was AI, but it’s like, oh my gosh. You can’t, you can barely tell it’s a high. This is another one that is just. This is one that, that somebody stitched together to make it a little bit longer.

Make it 30 or 27 seconds. If this is your first shift at Waffle House, you have to fight. Freaking crazy. Oh my God. Did you did. That was the best. That was way better than the Brad Pit Tom Cruise fight scene. I agree with that one. I also saw one that was, that was John Wick versus Ethan Hunt. Tom Cruise’s. I didn’t see this. It’s really good. Check it out. Very. Got the John Wick fight. I mean, fight style. Yeah, all of it. Oh, this. I. Again, I would love to know what the prompt was for this.

Yeah, right here. There’s the problem. There it is right there. John Wick Ultimate Showdown. Rainy night, abandoned warehouse. The rain flowed down the tin roof and the air was full of gunpowder. Tom was Dressed in black tactical equipment, his headphones were slightly hungry, and his eyes were as calm as a knife. Opposite, John Wick slowly walked out of the shadow, spotless in a black suit, holding the iconic pistol in his hand. His eyes were so cold that there was no warmth, no nonsense. The first shot was fired instantly. Tom suddenly turned sideways and the bullet flew past his ear.

He rolled on the spot, hid behind the iron box, and blah, blah, blah. Wow, it’s quite a long prompt. It is. But, yeah, to get something like this and that. That’s really what I’m understanding, too, is, like, the prompt. So I try. Because I try to do this. And. Yeah, you. So you had a dream, you said. Yeah, it was. I. I think I explained it on the show a while ago. And this is kind. I mean, and, like, I kept getting different versions of one element that would kind of work, but then it’s like, something would happen, and I’m like, oh, my gosh, this is so bad.

You know? And so I was trying to use myself, and I. And I was able to use myself for the second part of it, but not for the first part of it. But. But. And it’s not exactly. I mean, it kind of goes like. For one thing, I said two women, and it made them into, like, little girls. I literally said two women in their 30s dressed in, like, business attire. That’s what they gave you? This? Yeah, they gave me this. Like, what the heck? Like, ah, okay, whatever. You can play this. What did you do with Kelly and her friend? I don’t know what you’re talking about.

That’s you, Ben. Excuse me, sir. Do you know where I can find Elon Musk? Not my voice, though. That’s what happened in your dream. That’s kind of not exactly. Like, it just was not. It really was not giving me exactly what I wanted, but it was close enough. But really, it was. It was this. It was one of my friends. They’re on the roof, and they just, like, disappeared right in front of me. And then this helicopter came in, and this woman who was like, this princess came out of it. And then I asked her, like, what did you do with my friends? And then I walk in this room, and, like, because we’re on the top of a building in, like, New York, and then I go in this room or I go in this door, and there’s this giant room, and there’s all these generals in this room, and Elon is there, and.

And I’m literally trying to, like, talk to Elon to figure out what happened. I was like, dude, they just disappeared right in front of me. The guy comes out and he’s like looking at the helicopter and the two people disappear. And I, I wrote like he freaks out because it’s like he’s watching them. And then they disappear and he’s freaking out. And then that girl just comes out of the helicopter thinking she has something to do with it. So then, so then like I’m talking to this high ranking general guy and then there’s this dark hallway.

There’s no light coming out of the hall. This. This dark hallway area. And the elevator door opens and then I see this light and I just see these giant like shadows of like 8ft tall in the light. And then I. I walk slowly, I walk over there and then I just see these two giant reptilians in this like purple, dark purple uniform that was like skin tight with like a V neck in this black triangle on their chests. And like at first that’s all I see is. Is like the, because the, the triangle thing is kind of like at my eye level.

And then I slowly start looking up and then I start seeing that they’re like scaly and reptilian. And then I woke up, up so super weird dream. And I. I got this idea of watching some of these and then I just thought, oh my gosh, I have so many weird dreams. That’d be so cool to try to like do something. And I was trying to use my voice and. But I. I still don’t know how to get sea dance. To use your voice? Yeah. Like I. I guess you. Yeah. Anyway, I have to still kind of figure out exactly how to use this thing.

But, but, but also like when I, when, when it shows me opening the doors, it’s like I. All of a sudden I’m. I’m like turned away. And then my. Yeah. Like my head just like Morse. Yeah. It was like you’re. You were turned this way, but then all of a sudden you weren’t. Yeah. Like what? Like you would think that the. You know, this. It’s like. That’s what I’m saying. Like it’s still. There’s still like what happens? Like, I have no more magical than the reptilians. I was like, what the heck? But this is the best one that I could.

Yeah. It was like my answer. Oh, you. You went from being on the outside to being on the inside real quick. Sure. Did you? Wow. Super weird. Yeah. It was just. I mean, it’s so strange looking at it because I’m like. I Don’t feel like that looks like me. Especially there. But still pretty funny, though. That was like, if some actor was playing Ben. Yeah, it, like, looked like you at first, and then. And then it went totally into some other person really quick. Yeah, I know. And there was. There were some that were, like, really bad.

Like those. You know, those AI images where people have, like, more multiple. It was like. There was one that was, like, the face was getting distorted and the glasses were, like, coming off here. And I was like, what? Like, okay, clearly this thing has a lot of bugs still. So I was like, I don’t know. But some of these, like, those ones we saw are phenomenal. There’s a. There’s a whole Game of Thrones or someone changed the Game of Thrones ending. Did you see that one? No. This is what everybody wanted, even though they were, like, cousins or something, brother and sister or something.

I still have never even seen the series, so I might have to watch it eventually. Lindsay, if you kept scrolling down, there was a lot more in that. In that. In that link that you showed. There’s another one about Lord of the Rings. Oh, this one. You put this thing inside me. Now it’s mine. This is, like, also the alternate. Try harder. You think that power belongs to you? I planted it in you when you were 12. Every connection, every whisper you ever heard was me. Then you made a mistake, because I learned to use it better than you ever did.

Well, well, together. A new world is coming, and none of you will be in it. There is no new world. Only you. Alone. You sound just like Papa, I guess. What is happening? Yeah, what is happening? Someone is inside Vector’s mind. Vector’s mind. Perfect. I don’t know. I do like the ending. Like, I don’t know why people had such a hard time with it. I. I really enjoyed that. I mean, it would have been kind of cool to see, like, The state of the on sea dance. Gotcha. Yeah, man. This is a very involved sea dance.

Okay. 2.0. Okay. The one I was using was 1.5, so I guess you have to. You have to pay for, like, the extreme premium thing to get that, which is actually pretty expensive. I. I think it. It was coming to, like, $150 a month to. To get it that quality, and that’s. You’re still, like, limited to how much you can do per month, too, so. Okay, that makes sense. Why? There’s still a little bit of issues coming in with that, but. But, yeah, this is. This is. This is on a whole different level. I Feel even the choreography was pretty good.

Yeah, Seriously. Oh, this is a Lord of the Rings. I mean, this is crazy. I mean, you could literally just make your own movie if, like, I want. I want to see a new, different Star wars boom, like, you could literally do that. I mean, it would take a lot of money, a lot of time to make a whole entire movie. Which is why, you know, I still. We’re still not at that level of okay, we, we can do a couple minutes, you know, making a whole movie, though. No, I think I, you know, I don’t think AI is ever going to surpass humans in the art part of this because it, it can only.

It can only help artistic genius. It can’t. It can finish it, some of it, but it can’t conceive it really. Right. Like, as an example, you know, I, I’ve. I’ve like, been looking at, you know, if you give one of the AI some prompt, like a prompt, or you ask it for advice. So be like, hey, show me what you think I should do for this Edge of Wonder thumbnail, for instance. It’ll give you visual examples and they will be straight trash. But if you think, but if you think about the ideas that it’s telling you and you get into, like what it’s asking you to do, you can make something that is of the quality that it’s asking for and then get feedback on it and it’ll tell you what you can improve.

And nine times out of 10, that improvement, well, not nine times, but close to the improvement that it’s asking you to make is notable, but it’s not. The actual artistic quality is not there. Like, it’s just. And I’m saying this right now as a designer, like, it’s not a richest. No, it’s not a replacement. Because if you, if you watch the Ben Affleck and, and Matt Damon interview with Joe Rogan, Ben Affleck talks about this too, where if you prompt one of the AIs, like ChatGPT to create a script for you, the script is not great.

It’s like average. You can’t. You can get it to help you with things, but it will not actually be able to write it the way that a human being can create that artistic level. And I don’t think that that’s ever going to. I don’t think it’s going to get there. It’s like artistic genius comes from somewhere else. That’s why I don’t think that human beings, Human beings, when they create something that’s of that high quality, they’re getting help from, from higher dimensions, and the AI does not exist in those dimensions. So, you know, you. You’d never have a replacement for a story like Lord of the Rings.

It just will never happen. Yeah, that, that’s, that’s an excellent point. Yeah. Like you said, I can see it more like. Like, think about it this way. The special effects were really good and really quick. It might be able to help you with some of that, but actually the. The story itself, it can’t. There were so many parts of that where if, if the guys from Stranger Things actually published that they would get made fun of way worse than if they. They published. Yeah. What they did. What they did. Yeah. And again, it’s like when you.

And when you start breaking it down, it’s like, okay, a lot of this isn’t making sense. But then again, it was like that was all stitched. I mean, that was like a two and a half minute thing. So they had to make. If it’s 15 seconds is what you get. So that, that’s what’s wild about it. So they had to just kind of stitch that all together, which why. It didn’t really make a lot of sense either. There, there’s this. There was a. There was a really funny one with Lord of the Rings. Oh, Lindsay said Lord of the Rings was taken.

Taken down for copyright issues. So the main. One of the studios came out and said within like a few days, there was a massive amount of copyright violations. Yeah, sure. And I mean, every. Any character, anybody or anything that anybody is doing with these things is a copyright violation, and especially with the actors themselves. So this is what’s going to be interesting going forward, how right now we don’t really have any laws for this. Plus, this is all international now. You have like, international laws or. I mean, we don’t even have. I’m sorry, we don’t have any, any international laws to begin with.

This is all coming from China anyway. So this is such a gray area of how do you do this? The only thing you can really do is go straight to the. Because you, you got to go straight to the companies and be like, hey, you know, you can’t have these characters in your AI program. But I mean, people are always going to figure out a way to do it. You know what, I’ll point something else out. If you watch the, you know, the making of Lord of the Rings, and then you, you look at why. Why is Lord of the Rings.

That was done in what started in like 2000, was like between 2000 and 2003 or something like that, right? Yeah. Yeah. It. To this day, those movies are still noted as the best special effects in movies ever. And if you look at what they did and what made it special is that 3D, 3D artistry had gotten to a point where it was really, really usable in. In movies. But in order to make Lord of the Rings appear as real as possible, they used an enormous amount of miniatures. They used an enormous amount of actual makeup, real makeup, where they would not replace real special effects, analog special effects, unless they really, really needed to.

They would use it very, very, very carefully in certain spots, like with Gollum or with certain characters. And it was because they used it so well in a limited amount of areas with the analog makeup and miniatures and all of the other stuff that they did, like real metal smithing, all of that stuff, that’s what made Lord of the Rings so real, is it was a mixture of the. The best artistry that humans can provide mixed with just enough of the 3D animation to make it to really pop in certain areas. That’s how you do that.

So if we start replacing everything with AI we’re going to lose the artistry that came with, like, Weta Workshop that you can’t replace. Because. Because the. The. The human touch to those things is what makes it so real. And when you pull that out of it and the AI Is creating things, it never looks right. It always looks, yeah, movie. Like B movie quality somehow, you know. Well, I think that’s what makes the. The one with the Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. It’s very real. But again, you know, the. It’s only 15 seconds. So when we were looking at Stranger Things, it’s like, okay, this is.

It’s. It’s like pretty good special effects for AI of what we’ve seen, especially, like, two minutes. But then you can kind of see in the middle of it, it gets a little bit convoluted and a little bit confusing. But, yeah, there’s another one with Godzilla and Optimus Prime. Oh, that’s a fun one. Yeah. Lindsay, can you show this one? We gotta play a trailer. Yeah. Optimus is like a size of his foot. Yeah. Transform. He’s not very smooth. It’s. It’s. You can tell it’s very AI Almost like a video game. This is long. Oh, you can turn up the sound.

It’s okay. I didn’t realize they made Godzilla his size. Well, he’s on the bridge. Oh, yeah, they did make him his size. You’re right. It’s kind of interesting. So there’s a huge continuity thing right there. Like, what happened? That was a. That was a Kaiju from. From. What do you call it? From Pacific Rim, I think. Oh, was it. Well, it was like he was fighting him on the bridge and they’re same size. And then the next scene, it’s in the water and the bridge is destroyed. You know, you don’t see that sequence, you know, so, yeah, there’s clearly an issue there.

Why don’t we. Why don’t we show another trailer and when we come back, we’ll. There’s just a couple more things we want to get into related to this. In this series, from Edge of Wonder, we dive into neural nets, sentient robots, gene editing technology, smart implants, programmable monkeys. Evolution and social manipulation is resistance futile. How can we rage against the machine? All right, once again, you guys, you can find that over on our Rise TV platform along with all of our nearly 1000 videos that we have over there, including some documentaries, enough to keep you going for a whole year.

All right, there’s. There’s a couple. This. There’s this Seinfeld one that is super crazy. The guy. I guess it was like a. More like a dream that somebody had that. That actually what gave me my idea to do my. My Epster. Sorry. C. Sea dream. Giving us the kind of mini Seinfeld episode I feel like are in my dreams. That’s what the guy wrote. Okay. Kramer, did you visit Epstein Island? Jerry, these are not your ordinary pickles. These are a game changer. The brining process alone, it’s a symphony of flavors. You got your garlic, your dill, a hint of mustard seed.

It’s kind of focused. The island. The crunch. Jerry. The crunch is unparalleled. Jerry, we need to cook. Jerry. What the hell? Walter? Get out. Out. I’m opening a dojo. My shoelace feels emotionally loose. Gravity is so judgmental. Hey, this upside down fridge is keeping my pro cheese more exponential. Where’s my money? Jerry. What? Gary? Jerry. Kramer, did you. I mean, it doesn’t really look like them either. You know, you can kind of tell, like, the hair is not like Walt from Breaking Bad. I mean, they got Brian Cranston down, but not Jerry Seinfeld at all. No, I agree with that one too.

So this one’s really funny. This is a thousand angry Vikings stampeding into a McDonald’s. I’ve never seen Vikings that angry for French fries. Oh, that is so, so funny. And this one, I guess. Okay, I, I. The. The f.1 film, I’ve never seen it, the racing film, they’re saying it was one of the most expensive scenes that was shot and they recreated it with. The cat driving. But, you know, the difference is there’s something. When you’re, when you’re doing something practical, filming wise, there is a huge difference. And there’s so many people involved, you know, and watching, watching the, the making of the Stranger Things, especially the, the.

The one episode where it’s all like a single shot and like how much work needed to go for that production, how many people need to be involved, what they had to do to set that up. And they’re like, we could do this with, with cgi, you know, and love granted there is like cgi. I mean, obviously the, the, you know, the Demogorgordons are with cgi, but it’s like, it’s so different when you’re doing it and you’re having so many people involved. And I feel like the audience appreciates it even more at that point where it’s kind of like with AI It’s.

It’s not even, it’s not even a big deal. It’s just like, oh, okay, whatever. You know, that’s cool. But. But I think filmmakers are trying to get away from cgi. I think people are just so overstimulated with, with CGI and AI and all the stuff that people want to go back and like you mentioned it with Lord of the Rings, you know, the CGI in there, it is weird. It was like when Transformers came out, that was almost like the, the pinnacle of the top cgi. And then everything just kind of started going downhill and it’s like, why, you know, some of the Marvel movies are amazing and I would probably say, you know, with especially the Avengers movies that they probably have some of the best cgi.

But then it’s like shouldn’t get it get any better. And now it’s like gotten, I feel like worse. And yeah, Lindsay mentioned like Oppenheimer. There’s. Well, they say there’s no cgi. It’s almost impossible nowadays to not use cgi, even if it’s like a background thing. You know, they have to change certain little elements here and there. And what they’re meaning by no CGI really is more of like big things that’s, you know, overly use of cgi. In a lot of cases, it’s like a cityscape or, you know, just adding certain little elements here, changing it from night to day.

You know, they’re. That’s in almost all movies now include excluding Top Gun. That was one of the things that in Top Gun they were like, oh, Tom Cruise is like we didn’t use any cgi. But in reality they did. It was just not in the way that we think of when we think of cgi. But yeah. Now the downside of this, there was an article, you know, with Falun Gong being one of the still big things that are being censored and persecuted inside China and a lot of the stuff is Chinese owned. There was an article that came out talking about the AIs, like all this AI stuff and how what people aren’t talking about is the censorship that is going along with it.

And so what they were finding that there were specifically 12 things that were completely censored from generating any kind of video content whatsoever. And many of these AI systems. So you know, basically anything that’s kind of against China, Tiananmen Square Massacre is on here. Probably in the west over here we could probably do it a little bit, but I, I doubt if the, the AI models would even get it very well. Of course Falun Gong, which is being heavily persecuted and these are the ones that they were testing and what was happening with it Chat GPT.

I mean that’s one of the really bad ones. And Gemini is owned by Google. So but they’re asking in this article, why does it matter? And they said China is the world’s largest exporter of AI powered surveillance technology and its AI platforms are increasingly used beyond China’s borders. So and they’re finding that even more censorship and more, more control, the CCP’s control are coming into more Western societies, specifically over here. And like with Falun Gong which is being heavily censored and of course, you know, we, we’re, we, we talk about the, like what Falun Gong is.

In fact, I was just, I went to go see Shen Yun just, just last weekend. It was here in town. But you know, Falun Gong is a very peaceful meditation that came out in China based on truthfulness, compassion and forbearance. And in a very, very short time came out in 1992. It’s always been a free practice. And then within the later 90s they started getting criticism from, from within the CCP, the Chinese Communist Party. And then by 1999 they started persecuting it. And we even have some documentaries about the persecution, about organ harvesting because that came out too in China after that and after all this time, what is it? 20? Are we on the 20? 26? 27 years.

27 years. Oh my gosh. Of the persecution. It’s insane. That’s happening in China. So that. That’s the other downside, you know, and how AI can be used. And I think, you know, it’s not a coincidence that all this is kind of coming out around with these Epstein stuff coming out, too, because. And. And. And I think the scariest part is the really subtle things I’m seeing everywhere on Facebook where there’s now an article and. Or a post that’s referencing a legit news thing. I mean, there’s all. There’s way more fake stuff out there than real stuff.

But then there’s a photo that goes along with it. And when you see it and you see the photo and you see the article, you meet. Your brain immediately thinks that this is a real scene that is taking place in this photo when it’s all AI generated based on the article. Because a lot of times they don’t have images to go along with these articles, so they’re making them up. Yeah. And we’re not really able to decipher the difference. And a lot of times, I mean, people are. Are completely changed in these images based on, like, the real news story.

And. And it. And it creates a. Almost like a false narrative that you see with these. And I’m seeing it over and over again, and I’m. And, you know, I’m like, oh, my gosh, that’s not even the right guy that they’re using on this image. It’s like. It’s like, think about it, everyone. You really think they would, you know, have this image? And. And so, you know, I mean, I’m seeing it with. From both perspectives, all over the political spectrum of things. It’s like, oh, yeah, okay. You know, that’s just a fake image. So. And people aren’t really looking at it that way.

They’re seeing it pretty quickly, and it’s just there. So I think that’s one of the scarier aspects of this. But what. What do you think, Rod, in terms of, like, AI? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, of course, like, we’re. I think AI was around in you being used for military applications, I think, before it got released to the public. I think there’s. I mean, if it couldn’t be used for surveillance, it probably wouldn’t be around. If it couldn’t be used for censorship, it probably wouldn’t be around to begin with. So they’re definitely like, definitely this thing is going to be used for nefarious purposes.

I mean, we’re dancing with the devil right now, you know? Yeah. You brought a really good point. It’s, it’s like if this is what the public is having right now, my gosh, what are the, what are they using now? You know, what kind of technology that, do they have? Well, the scary, the scariest part is of that is I think what Dan Farah pointed out on, I think it was the Joe Rogan show after he released his, his documentary the Age of Disclosure is that the US Will not show its cards in terms of what type of technology it has access to.

It won’t because all of it is extremely hush hush. China doesn’t pull punches with that stuff. They’re just going to use everything that they can to try to undermine the West. So whatever it’s developing, whatever you see, they’re going to be using things that potentially other world powers will not use for the purposes of hiding what they have access to. That’s super dangerous. So, you know, okay, Japan, Pearl harbor happened right after Pearl Harbor. Japan was not even allowed to create their own military because of what they did. They still to this day don’t really have their own military.

The US just kind of manages that area for them. And then there’s a, there’s agreements with Japan and, and America. China has done so many more like things that are much more devastating than Pearl harbor, not only to the US but to their own people and all around the world. And they’re allowed to have guns, they’re allowed to have these extremely dangerous weapons. It’s putting, putting weaponry of that level in the Chinese hands is the absolute most dangerous thing for the entire world. And it’s just, it’s just being. No one’s talking about it. Why are we not talking about the biggest threat to the entire world right now? You know, I mean, obviously there are sociopolitical reasons for that, but, but seriously.

Yeah, it’s very true. And you know, we had our show on Tuesday that’s just on Rise TV and we were talking about that they found another bio lab that was just in an Airbnb in Las Vegas. They found one in California a couple years back and now they found one in Las Vegas just last week. And they found out it was by the same guy who owned both of, both of them. And, and there was a, there was these Chinese dissidents that were using it and so they were all in connection together. I still don’t really know how the guy didn’t even.

The owner didn’t get arrested the first time, but he’s now, he’s now been arrested. But they were students Right. They were, they were Chinese spies. Yeah, I mean, you’re absolutely right about that, working for the ccp. And they had every kind of virus and bacteria that you could think of, including fake COVID 19 tests. So. And the only reason why they found out was the, there was a cleaning crew that was sent and they got very sick when they were in the garage. And so the police came and there was a search done and they found all this stuff.

So, you know, and, and the CDC wanted to kind of sweep this underneath a rug. And, and that’s the scarier part, like why, you know, and, and so it really shows how powerful the CCP’s connections are over here and how much influence and control they really have. And to me, that, that’s the scarier aspect. You know, you could look at here like Hiroshima was horrible, Right. But it was like that was, everything was on the surface. You knew exactly what was, what happened, who was responsible, who it affected. You know, what the CCP is doing. It’s like they’re involved in, or I don’t say involved, but they’re responsible for millions and millions of deaths all around the world.

Especially looking at Covid. Everything that’s happening through all the persecutions and we’re just kind of turning a blind eye to it because for political reasons or whatever, you don’t want to start a war. Blackmail, I mean, there’s a lot of, there’s still a lot of blackmail that the, the CCP has control over a lot of big players. You know, when officials go to China, what happens that the blackmail starts there? You know, again, it’s like the level of naivety dealing with the Chinese Communist Party is totally ridiculous. It’s totally laughable. You know, they just, they, they view everyone as useful idiots and then they take advantage of people.

I mean, when or when is it, when are, when is everyone going to wake up? That is the question. When is everyone going to wake up? Well, and that’s why we’re doing what we’re doing, you know, trying to help, help wake up humanity and give people the truth. And, and we’re going to go over right now over to Rise tv where we’re going to continue this conversation and get into all of your guys’s questions that you had over on Rise on our exclusive Rise chat. So if you haven’t joined us, basically the price of two cups of coffee, you can come over and join us over on Rise.

And yeah, so we’re going to go over there, get into everyone’s questions, then we’re going to do our top 10 weird news of the week as well. And we do have one talking about pigs flying, which is what we were kind of talking about in the beginning. It’s totally different. So come over and join us. All right, we’ll see you over there. On rise, 150 years in the making. The ultimate evil specter. Lies, Hatred and struggle. Traditions destroyed. The deep state, cult, Communism, War, Conquest, death. Most World War II historians will highlight the politics of the time, but Gloria gloss over the truth behind Hitler’s quest for power.

The blood spattered trail the Nazis smeared across the globe cannot be forgotten, even today. But what if details were lost in the aftermath of the manic effort to create a Third Reich? Or what if they were left out of the history books on purpose? What if the Nazis were searching for something else? Particular artifacts Hitler had researched feverishly in his darkest days. Objects so extraordinary he believed they held the answer to world domination. Objects that had the power to change the course of history itself. These were the relics of power. Of all the relics the Nazis sought to find, there was one valued above the rest.

One that would secure the destiny of their rule and guarantee it for a thousand years to come. One with a history that began in antiquity. The most mysterious of all the relics, the Spear of Destiny.
