0:00 This video might be distressing to some viewers. Maybe weak viewers, but distressing none-the-less... but everyone needs to understand these things. 0:46 Who am I? 1:52 Who is this video for? 2:38 Who does this problem impact? 4:28 AI is definitely a factor in this discussion, and is part of my serious concerns related to this issue 5:28 What does AI need in order to train itself to hurt you? Data. 7:08 What are some hypothetical examples of data being used to hurt you? 8:10 So how do malicious organizations get this data? 8:58 What kind of data is Delta Force gathering about you? 9:44 But what if the studio promised that they wouldn't abuse their privileges? 10:58 Here is an example of "good guys" losing all of your most sensitive data 11:23 Even if the systems that are installed to your computer aren't being exploited right now, doesn't mean they'll never be exploited at any point in the future 12:02 Steam does not have the ability to screen every single update that is installed to your computer after you install the initial version of the game to your computer 12:57 These systems should never be installed to your computer. Period. There is no excuse. 13:12 "But what if my data is encrypted?" 14:20 What if the game studio "promises" to never hurt me? 15:59 So... what is the name of this "super bad" system that is being installed? 18:16 So how are they even installing this system to my computer? 20:02 At literally any point in the future these systems can go from "not malicious" to "malicious" in a single instant, at any point 22:58 This isn't just a game industry issue anymore, this is becoming a national security issue 25:24 "But they can't do bad stuff with my data because it would be illegal" 25:50 This warning isn't just for Americans. This is for everyone who feels that your own country's national security is important. 26:10 I want to talk about specific examples of AI-augmented crime being committed against individuals right now, that use your data to fine-tune those criminal operations 27:50 The emerging AI criminal sponsor tactic 31:40 If you think you are safe now, you are not going to stay safe forever if you all keep recklessly letting companies steal your data 33:20 Data exactly like the data that Delta Force is taking from you 33:42 I am at a point where I have to write AI tools to help protect me from AI crime 34:20 These systems are only going to continue getting better 35:01 If you continue installing kernel level systems created by other companies to your system, this isn't a matter of if... this is a matter of when 36:07 What do I want out of this video? 37:20 Are you being manipulated to not take this serious issue as seriously as you should be? Probably, yeah. 38:02 Are the intentions of these studios pure? That's the wrong question. The question is... does it even matter if their intentions are pure. 39:06 If you are concerned about cheaters, then quite frankly this is not the solution. The cure is worse than the disease. 40:14 If we aren't going to ban this practice from games, then at the bare minimum these systems should not be mandatory to install 40:46 I'm not saying that these systems are being installed maliciously, but I can say that if I was a malicious individual... this is exactly the kind of thing I would be doing 42:09 Feel free to let me know your thoughts in the comments 42:43 If anyone (or any company) attempts to retaliate against me for disclosing this, I am absolutely prepared to defend myself and retaliate back 42:49 My hope is that people respond to this video with concern and understanding. However, if they do not... then I believe those individuals should be treated with extreme suspicion ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsrVwTe5Fx4
