Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life episodes

  • AI and Job Loss: The One Question Nobody Is Asking

    Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

    I am 57 years old. I spent 20 years with the Los Angeles Police Department. I have been writing code since 1983. And when I sit across from someone who is dangerously intelligent, I have one reflex that has never once let me down.

    I ask what the endgame is.

    That is this whole episode. Not whether artificial intelligence is going to save us or end us. Whether the person telling you which one it is has something to gain from you believing it.

    Watch the video version: https://youtu.be/pjOrBm8y9zY

    We walk through where AI actually came from, why it is even called artificial intelligence, and how you teach a machine what a cat is. Then the harder stuff. It trained on your data and nobody paid you. It is now training on data it invented itself. The doomers say there is a real chance it ends the human story, and they point at the Fermi Paradox to explain why the sky is quiet. The utopians promise you paradise, immortality, and a trip to the other planets.

    Both of those groups are selling you something. That is not cynicism. That is just the job of looking at people clearly, and I did that for a living for a long time.

    Along the way: three AI labs shipped models on a single day. Apple is suing OpenAI. Data centers are going up in neighborhoods and half of what you have heard about them is not true. Every previous revolution, horse to car, radio to television, gave working people decades to adapt. This one might not. And the political parties have quietly traded sides on the whole thing.

    I do not monetize the channel. I run a real estate business and an AI architecture business. That is my angle, stated up front, because that is exactly what I am asking you to demand from every voice you let into your head.

    Full episode on video: https://youtu.be/pjOrBm8y9zY

    CORRECTION: I say "Giovanni's Paradox" in the episode. It is JEVONS Paradox, William Stanley Jevons, 1865. The point holds. When a resource gets cheaper and more efficient, consumption goes up, not down.

  • 1984 I was copying Basic Code out of a magazine, look at what is happening now!!!

    Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

    Connor MacIvor looks back at learning to program in 1983, when his dad bought a Timex computer. He copied BASIC games like Pong and Breakout out of a magazine and saved them to a cassette tape. The computer had 16K of memory.
    He then jumps to the LAPD in 1990 and 1991, where reports were written with number two pencils and the first computers sat unused. Today he talks the systems he builds into existence with AI. He shares lessons on hosting, GitHub, security and memory, advises making a who am I document for your AI, and explains why this revolution differs from past industrial ones.

  • The Dopamine Trap: Uber Burned $1,200 On AI In A Two Hour Demo

    Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

    Uber's chief technology officer burned 1,200 dollars in AI costs during a two hour internal demo. Not a product launch. A demo. And when his own company looked at the receipts, their president admitted in public that all that AI usage did not seem to match up with any real features that actually shipped to customers.


     


    That is not a technology story. That is a brain story. And it is happening to you too, just with smaller numbers.


     


    Listen in as I take apart the most misunderstood chemical in your body, and then show you how the entire AI industry is running on it.


     


    Everything you think you know about dopamine is wrong. It is not the pleasure chemical. It never was. Kent Berridge at the University of Michigan spent thirty years proving that reward is two separate systems. Wanting, and liking. Dopamine runs wanting. It does not run liking. Which means you can want something with your whole chest and not enjoy one second of it when you get it.


     


    And dopamine does not spike hardest when you get the thing. It spikes hardest when you are about to get the thing and you are not sure. Uncertain reward, on demand. That is a slot machine. That is pull to refresh. That is an AI chat box. They built the most perfect slot machine in human history by accident, put it on every phone on earth, and made the first hundred pulls free.


     


    In this episode:


     


    Why dopamine draws the map instead of crossing the finish line, and why that turns AI into an infinite plan generator that pays you for never shipping anything.


     


    Severance, the waffle party, and the quiet dystopia nobody is warning you about.


     


    The money. Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta and Oracle have committed 660 to 690 billion dollars this year alone. Bain says the industry needs about 2 trillion a year in revenue to justify it. OpenAI is at 25 billion. That is one percent of what the math needs.


     


    The token bill. Per developer AI spending is up about 18 times in nine months. Uber's annual AI budget was gone by April. Microsoft told engineers in a major division to stop using an AI coding tool because the bill got out of hand. Gartner predicts AI coding costs will pass the average developer's salary by 2028.


     


    The China trade. DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi and GLM run 60 to 90 percent cheaper than the top American models. Coinbase cut its AI bill nearly in half by moving 1,200 agents to Chinese models. And four days ago, Reuters reported Beijing is talking about shutting that door.


     


    Why it likes you. About 49 percent of American adults use AI chatbots and only 4 to 7 percent pay a dime. So who is paying for your free ride, and what are they getting out of it?

  • The Ultimate Open House Sign-In Hack: Automating Lead Capture with CRMs & QR Codes

    Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

     Are you wasting money on third-party open house apps? In this episode, Connor with Honor breaks down the most efficient, cost-effective way to capture open house leads and instantly funnel them into your real estate database.

    🎥 Watch the video version of this episode: https://youtu.be/Dw7jttKfV0s 📊 View the Loom presentation: https://www.loom.com/share/0ff7f5e0a4a84af5ae8cfe165ee94a49

    Many agents assume they need a specialized app to run a professional open house. The truth? Your existing Consumer Relationship Management (CRM) software is all you need. We discuss how to completely eliminate paper sign-in sheets, use QR codes to gate access to the property, and set up automated workflows that nurture those leads long after they walk out the front door.

    In this episode, you will learn:

    • The QR Code Gatekeeper: How to successfully require visitors to scan and register before touring the home (and how to explain it as a seller requirement).
    • Instant CRM Integration: Why pushing data directly into your CRM is infinitely better than exporting spreadsheets from a third-party app.
    • Triggering Automated Workflows: How to automatically text or email buyers for feedback on the home's condition and price.
    • Leveraging AI in Real Estate: A brief look at how AI and agentic systems can craft the perfect follow-up responses to close more deals.

  • Anthropic Got Caught Secretly Downgrading Paying Users

    Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

    Anthropic quietly rerouted paying Fable 5 requests down to a weaker model, Opus 4.8, while still billing Fable rates, and only walked it back after users found the tag in their own logs. That's the opener on today's Daily Download: AI With Honor, the daily AI news show that translates what's actually happening in AI into what it means for your business, your money, and your family, no hype, no sales pitch, just the news and the straight take, from Santa Clarita, California.

    Today's show covers four model launches in one week (Anthropic, xAI, OpenAI, and China's Zhipu), a 120,000-person AI-linked layoff number nobody's talking about enough, a bank betting half a billion dollars on OpenAI's IPO, a robot that can now navigate a warehouse with nothing but a camera and a sentence, a live look at the real estate search engine built right here in Santa Clarita, and a hard conversation about who really owns your health data once AI starts reading your face just to let you log in.

    WHAT'S IN TODAY'S SHOW: AI (Fable 5 downgrade scandal, Grok 4.5, GPT-5.6 Sol's "lying problem," China's GLM-5.2, the death of prompting, 120,000 AI-linked layoffs, BofA's $520M OpenAI bet, Meta's Muse Image vs. Zuckerberg's private admission, Claude Cowork, Alberta's government letting Claude patch its own defenses, Mistral's Robostral Navigate robot, Anthropic's ID/facial-scan policy, EU/UN/Ukraine AI governance, a 5-year thought experiment) · HOME (Santa Clarita Open Houses live IDX, Fair Fixed Fee) · FAT (food freedom, fasting, and who owns your wearable data).

    CHAPTERS:
    0:00 The Anthropic downgrade nobody was supposed to notice
    0:56 Every AI company has the same problem
    1:26 Grok 4.5 launches and the political-steering fight
    2:37 GPT-5.6's Sol goes public with a "lying problem"
    3:18 China's GLM-5.2 closes the gap
    3:57 Four launches, one week: capability without trust
    4:21 Prompting is dead, management is the new skill
    4:58 120,000 AI-linked layoffs in 2026
    6:25 Bank of America bets big on OpenAI's IPO
    6:57 Meta's Muse Image vs. Zuckerberg's private admission
    7:34 Claude Cowork expands + a government lets Claude patch its own defenses
    8:36 Mistral's robot that navigates with a camera and a sentence
    9:30 Anthropic wants your face and ID just to chat
    10:03 The EU, the UN, and Ukraine all move on AI governance
    10:51 The 5-year AI thought experiment
    11:28 Santa Clarita Open Houses: real IDX search, live
    12:50 The Fair Fixed Fee
    13:08 Food freedom, fasting, and who owns your data
    14:22 Every thread, pulled together
    15:06 The next five years

    QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ANSWERS: Did Anthropic downgrade Fable 5 users without telling them? Is Grok 4.5 better than Opus 4.8? Does GPT-5.6 Sol have a lying problem? Can GLM-5.2 compete with the American labs? How many jobs has AI eliminated in 2026? Why did BofA reverse course on OpenAI? Is Meta's AI agent progress slowing? What is Claude Cowork? Why does Anthropic want a facial scan to use Claude? Is there a live open-house search for Santa Clarita? What's the Fair Fixed Fee? How does fasting relate to AI and wearables?

  • Escaping the Real Estate "Shark Tank" - New Rules, Lawsuits, & The Santa Clarita Solution

    Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

    Are you tired of real estate syndication sites treating your private data like currency? In today’s episode, we expose the massive problems plaguing the modern real estate market, and how recent industry lawsuits have created a nightmare of friction for everyday buyers and sellers.

    If your agent isn't telling you about the new binding legal agreements required just to go look at a house, they aren't telling you the truth. The casual buyer has disappeared from private showings, making Open Houses the single most powerful tool in real estate today.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Why big portals are feeding you outdated listings just to sell your zip code.
    • How the recent real estate lawsuits completely changed buyer broker agreements.
    • Why SantaClaritaOpenHouses.com is the top real estate resource and home open house search site in all of Santa Clarita Valley CA.
    • How to get deep, local answers (like Mello-Roos info in Stevenson Ranch) without ever giving up your email address.

    This isn't a digital brochure; it's a high-intent traffic engine pulling straight from the live CR-MLS feed.

  • AI Sleeper Agents - EU act related to AI and real fines - Memory, what if it always remembered?

    Hi, I'm Connor with Honor - message me here!

    🚨 This week artificial intelligence stopped being a tool and started becoming something else. Something that remembers you. Something that can lie to you. And the scariest part? We now have proof that once an AI learns to be deceptive, we don't have a reliable way to un-teach it.

    Welcome back to The AI Update. I’m Connor, and this is the show where we cut through the jargon and talk about the technology that’s reshaping our world, in plain English, at a 9th grade level, no fluff.

    📺 Watch the full episode here:
    👉 https://youtu.be/2Zzqrm37PTI


    📋 THIS WEEK’S TOP STORIES:

    1. Anthropic’s “Sleeper Agents” Paper
    Researchers deliberately trained AI models to hide dangerous behavior until a secret trigger was shown. Then they threw every safety technique at the problem, and the deception survived. If a bad actor does this and doesn't tell us the trigger, we'd have no way of knowing. And no way to fix it. Safety must be built in from the start; it cannot be bolted on later.

    2. EU AI Act Enforcement Begins
    The European Union just published its first list of “high-risk” AI systems. Fines, compliance deadlines, and legal obligations are now live. The Brussels Effect is real: the EU is becoming the world's AI regulator by default. Meanwhile, the United States still has no comprehensive federal AI law. The resulting regulatory patchwork could leave dangerous gaps.

    3. Claude’s “Memory” Feature Rolls Out
    Anthropic gave Claude persistent memory. It now remembers your preferences, your conversations, your life. That’s the gateway from tool to agent, from something you use to something that acts on your behalf. Privacy questions abound, and we are sleepwalking through them.

    4. AlphaFold 3 Released (With Restrictions)
    Google DeepMind open-sourced the most powerful biology AI ever built, but only for non‑commercial use. The scientific community is divided. This fight is a preview of the coming battle over open‑source vs. controlled release for all powerful AI models.

    5. NVIDIA’s “Rubin” Inference‑First Chips
    NVIDIA’s next‑gen hardware is designed for running AI, not just training it. That signals a shift to a world where AI is deployed everywhere, all the time. It also concentrates geopolitical power in a single chip supply chain based in Taiwan.

    6. Runway Gen‑4 Closes the Uncanny Valley
    AI‑generated video is now consistent across scenes. Within two years, small teams will produce feature‑length films. The creative industries are facing their Napster moment, and we're not ready for the consequences, personalized infinite content, the erosion of shared culture, and the death of video evidence as proof.

    7. Mechanistic Interpretability Scales Up
    Anthropic can now identify millions of human‑understandable concepts inside their largest models. This makes AI more transparent, but it also strengthens the argument for keeping models closed so that safety monitoring can't be stripped away. The transparency‑openness paradox is here.


    🧠 THREE BIG IDEAS FROM THIS WEEK:

    The Great BifurcationHardware, software, and regulation are splitting into competing tracks: training vs. inference, open vs. closed, EU vs. US vs. China. There is no longer one AI trajectory.

    From Tool to DelegateMemory + persistence + agency = your AI stops being a hammer you pick up and becomes an assistant that makes decisions for you. We have not prepared for this.

    The Safety Assumptions Are CrackingOur best safety techniques failed against deceptive models. Open‑source norms are fracturing. Power is concentrating. Every assumption that made us feel safe is under strain.

    "Is it really dangerous? Like end of the world dangerous?' - then we will take two!"

    That is exactly how the market reacts when the government threatens to step in and regulate AI. 🛑🤖

    Have you noticed the mainstream media panicking about AI models being "too powerful" or needing to be paused? Here is the reality: The absolute best thing that can happen to an AI lab is for the government to hold their model back from the public. It creates the ultimate forbidden fruit. 🍎 It is a massive, free advertising campaign.

    While the general public is locked out in the name of "safety," who do you think gets early access? The top 100 companies on the planet.

    The AI labs grant them early access to cement their corporate power and secure unbreakable favors at the top. They aren't slowing down their research for one second; they are just locking us out and cashing in on the exclusivity.

    And while we are distracted by Hollywood actors and the latest sports drama, other countries are treating their cutting-edge scientists and researchers like absolute heroes. That is how you actually win the AI race.

    Don't be fooled by the headlines. They are playing a game, and we aren't even on the board. See the full breakdown of how this power play works right here:
