Connor with Honor: AI, Real Estate and Real Life

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

The artificial intelligence narrative changes every single day. Are we heading for a utopia, or are we just watching the world's biggest companies secure their monopolies?

In this episode, we dive deep into the recent drama surrounding Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models. We discuss how these incredibly powerful frontier models are being gatekept by top-tier enterprise companies and government regulators, effectively cementing the power of the elite while the rest of us wait for access.

We also tackle the reality of the global AI race, what "recursive self-improvement" actually looks like, and why the mainstream news might not be giving you the full story on how fast this tech is actually moving behind closed doors.

Despite the corporate gatekeeping and the chaotic news cycle, I remain a massive optimist. This technology holds the key to incredible abundance, but you have to be willing to stay in the fight and adapt.

Three stories, one throughline: a former LAPD cop telling you what he actually notices so you stop getting played.

One, the shopping cart test. Before you move anywhere, drive through and look at the shopping carts. Returned and put away, or abandoned all over the lot? It tells you more about a neighborhood than any brochure. Then call the local sheriff or police and just ask them about the area. I tell the story of David in Burbank, the neighbor in welding gloves the local PD already knew all about, to show you why that call matters.

Two, AI, a little bit of danger, danger, Will Robinson. The data center money just reversed, the labs are renting compute now, and the new fear being sold is that public AI can see your ideas and move on them first. I break down the car wash example, the "too dangerous for regular people" pitch, why privacy is already gone, and why everyone suddenly wants to sell you your own AI at home while memory prices climb.

Three, the Paul Pelosi Maserati hit-and-run. From a cop who worked hit-and-runs for years: a no-injury misdemeanor of a parked car gets almost no investigation for anybody. The story is real, the special-privilege angle mostly is not.

Be good to each other. Verify what you hear. Slow your roll.

Somebody always says it: "We can't agree on anything, so let the machine decide." Religion, nukes, guns, race, money. Feed the facts to AI, no skin in the game, let it hand down the answer. It sounds amazing. It's also the most dangerous idea of this whole era, and this episode is why.

There are two kinds of problems, and almost nobody separates them. Truth problems have a real answer out in reality: how far is the moon, what's 2 plus 2, what kills this cancer cell. For those, the machine is a genuine weapon, so use it. Values problems are different: what's fair, what's sacred, what's worth more. There's no correct answer buried in the data, because the answer depends on what you care about. Point the smartest machine on earth at a values problem and it can't solve it. Not because it isn't smart enough, but because there's nothing to solve.

I take it through five fights, one at a time: religion, countries wanting nuclear weapons, guns, race and the police, and the have-nots against the haves. I put my own skin in it. I'm a man of faith. I carried a firearm for a career as a peace officer. And on one of these I hold my politics back on purpose, and I say why.

Then the part that matters most. A machine that sounds calm and objective, talking about our most sensitive fights, isn't a referee. It's our own bias handed back to us in a voice that sounds like it can't be wrong. A biased person you can argue with. A biased machine everyone thinks is neutral is a king nobody voted for, and you can't vote it out. Use the machine for what's true. Keep what matters in human hands. A value isn't calculated, it's chosen.

Somebody bought me lunch once to steal my idea. Months later it was for sale to my competitors, by the guy who paid for the sandwich. He didn't hack me. He let me talk.

Now everybody's terrified the machine will do the same thing, take the idea and sell it back with a subscription. This episode walks the whole thing: the lunch that cost me a business 20 years before ChatGPT, the three kinds of people screaming about idea theft and how to spot which one is smiling at you, the real answer about whether the AI labs are reading your chats (it's a checkbox, not a monster), and the one thing that's protected every idea in history and costs nothing.

The machine didn't steal your idea. It held up a mirror. The idea is the sizzle. Shipping is the steak. Execution is the moat, and you are your own moat.

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

It's the 4th of July, and freedom in 2026 is three questions: are you plugged into the intelligence rewiring the economy, do you own your own appetite, and do you keep the equity your house earned?

THE MACHINE: California puts Claude into every state agency at half price, the first tool cleared for an entire state government at once. Anthropic passes OpenAI on revenue, on track for $47 billion. Gartner says 40% of business software gets embedded AI agents this year, up from under 5%, and the agents are braiding into one fabric. The price of intelligence is falling off a cliff, and governments now regulate it like a power grid. Stop asking if the machine is smarter than you; ask if you're plugged in.

THE BODY: Your biology defends its fat (the Biggest Loser contestants ran about 500 calories a day slow SIX YEARS later) and engineered food pushes about 500 extra calories a day past your brakes. A rigged 1,000-calorie fight that has nothing to do with willpower. How fasting broke a 135-pound food addiction with no GLP-1 shots, and what Ozempic is really doing: faking the fullness signal the processed food stole. More at TheLastAddiction.com.

THE HOUSE: Live MLS pull for the Santa Clarita Valley, July 4, 2026: 56 closed, 59 fell out, 81 price cuts in seven days. Valencia flipped from about $63K over asking in November to about $21K under asking in June. How to price against the sold pile, not the fantasy pile, why the pre-listing inspection saves escrows, and what a fair fixed fee, agreed in writing, means for your closing statement.

Licensed since 1998, six brokerages, and the one lesson nobody tells a brand-new agent: passing the license exam proves you can study, not that you can do the job.

Connor tells the story of getting bumped up to train recruits at the LAPD police academy, fully certified as a firearms instructor, and realizing on the range that the certificate meant nothing next to what the veteran instructors had built over 20-30 years. He brings that same lesson into real estate: the commission split, the branding freedom, and the brokerage's own history are all worth asking about, but the agent who actually trains you matters more than the name on the building.

He closes with the real version of why he went all in with Sync Brokerage after stops at Coldwell Banker, RE/MAX, eXp, Compass, and Realty ONE Group.

An AI YouTuber just admitted, on the record, that scaring you gets him more views than telling you the truth. On today's episode: what that confession means for every AI video you'll ever watch, the AI stock crash that reversed itself in 2 days, Nvidia's CEO announcing we've already hit AGI using a definition he made up on the spot, and IBM firing for AI then rehiring humans for the part it couldn't do.

Then real estate: Congress passed a major housing bill 358 to 32, and the president threw a public tantrum over an unrelated demand while the bill became law anyway, 10 days later, with or without him. Buried underneath: a real ban on Wall Street buying up neighborhoods, and why real estate commissions actually went UP after the settlement that was supposed to bring them down.

We close with weight loss: the viral dollar gelatin trend people are calling "Nature's Ozempic," Medicare's new taxpayer-funded GLP-1 program, a study showing Ozempic users get judged more harshly than people who never lost weight, and a federal ban on compounded semaglutide that just went nationwide.

Same disease under all 3 lanes: somebody's getting paid whether what they're telling you is true or not. Our job is to go get the real number anyway.

 Washington just got offered a 5 percent stake in OpenAI worth $42.6 billion. Anthropic said no and countered with a plan to pay YOU a dividend instead. On today's episode: what that split actually means for regular people, the AI model that was illegal to use in the US for 18 days and just got un-banned, Zuckerberg admitting AI agents "hasn't accelerated" at Meta, OpenAI killing Sora and the billion dollar Disney deal, Claude Sonnet 5 going free-default at $2/$10 per million tokens, and why Palantir's CEO says the labs are chasing power over usefulness.

Then we come back down to Santa Clarita: live 7-day MLS numbers pulled straight off the market this morning, 69 homes closed and 54 fell out in the same week, and what that means if you're thinking about selling under the Fair Fixed Fee program, Connor's Fair Fixed Fee, agreed in writing with each homeowner.

We close with an open conversation about surviving a Fourth of July barbecue without turning one plate into a lost month, and the full Santa Clarita Fourth of July events guide, before this valley throws itself a 250th birthday party.

AI for everyone. Not just the wealthy.

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

After the doubling-penny show, I sat down and told the truth about where I think AI is really going. No hype, no doom.

The thread: a nuclear weapon does not launch itself, a human turns the keys. AI is the first tool that might not wait for us. That is why it is different from fire, the Industrial Revolution, and the nuclear age, each of which was one slice of human intelligence. AI is the whole pie, doubling like the penny.

I walk through the robot that builds itself, privacy already being gone (you say a toilet-paper brand out loud and it is in your feed by dinner), police drones and Palantir and the models now used in defense, and the part that gets me: they trained these things on our protected work and nobody asked us. I ask whether it is a bubble, because the railroad and internet early adopters lost everything and the crumb-pickers won. And I ask the one I cannot shake: when they chase a superintelligence that knows everything, are they reaching for God?

I do not have all the answers. This could be the best of everything or the worst. Awareness beats panic. If it worries you, do not go quiet.

3. FACEBOOK POST (copy-paste)

After today's show, I turned the camera back on and just told the truth about where I think AI is really going. 🤖

Here is the thought I cannot shake. A nuclear bomb is the most dangerous thing we ever built, but it does not launch itself. A human has to turn the keys. Artificial intelligence is the first tool in history that might not wait for us to pull the trigger. That is what makes it different from fire, from the Industrial Revolution, from the nuclear age. Each of those was one slice of human genius. This is the whole pie, and it is doubling like that penny where day 21 looks like nothing and the last few days bury you.

I get into a few things I actually believe:

🔹 The robot that builds itself. One machine builds one, then two, then four. Same exponential curve, pointed at manufacturing.

🔹 Privacy is already gone. You say a brand of toilet paper out loud in your kitchen and it is in your feed by dinner. We signed it away on every phone, TV, and yes, even the vacuum cleaner.

🔹 They took our data and nobody asked us. These models trained on protected work you and I could never have used without permission.

🔹 Is it a bubble? The people who built the first railroads and rode the early internet lost everything. The ones who picked up the crumbs won.

🔹 And the question I really cannot answer: when they chase a machine that knows everything and never stops climbing, are they reaching for God?

I am not selling doom, and I am not a hype man. This could be the best of everything or the worst of everything. The one thing I am sure of is that awareness beats panic. If AI worries you, do not go quiet. Vote. Make the call. Say the thing.

What is the one question about AI you cannot shake? Tell me below. 👇
