BSH Ep 150 - A Christmas Special: AI, Censorship, and Digital Sovereignty

As AI becomes part of everyday life, one problem keeps getting ignored: control. Not just over the tool - but over your thinking, your data, and the information shaping your decisions. When the same question can produce a different answer months later, and “safety” filters quietly decide what is allowed to be discussed, people lose track of what is true and who is directing their worldview. In this Christmas special episode, Juris and David step outside health and performance to talk about the real war happening behind the scenes - a cyber war over information. They explain why modern AI is not “intelligent” at all, why hallucinations and censorship are features of centralized systems, and how outsourcing your thinking to commercial platforms can turn into mass indoctrination at scale. This conversation is not anti-AI. It is about using AI responsibly, privately, and in a way that strengthens your independence instead of weakening it. They also connect this to finance, explaining why Bitcoin is not just money, but a sovereignty technology that can protect assets and, increasingly, digital infrastructure. In this episode, they cover: Why AI Hallucinates - How large language models generate confident answers and why false certainty is unavoidable without strict constraints. Censorship by Design - How information can be controlled without deleting it, simply by restricting what systems are allowed to answer. Education vs Thinking - Why most systems teach what to think, not how to think, and how AI can accelerate compliance through convenience. Local AI Models - Why running an LLM on your own hardware changes everything: privacy, consistent outputs, and control of what the model can access. Data Over Prompts - Why the real power comes from controlling the documents, sources, and rules the model uses, not clever prompting. Cyber Security and Sovereignty - Why the real battleground is your information, identity, and private data - and why “subscription everything” trains people to stop owning tools. Medicine as a Case Study - How centralized AI in diagnostics can optimize profit and protocols, while the patient stays uninformed. Bitcoin as a Technology - Why Bitcoin is more than finance: self-custody, keys, and why only you should control access to your assets. Fiat Games and Custody Traps - How third-party custody, paper exposure, and loans against assets can be used to create control without obvious force. Bitcoin Beyond Money - Why Bitcoin may play a growing role in cyber security by raising the cost of attack and securing valuable digital systems. This episode is about responsibility. You cannot stop where this is going - but you can adapt. If AI is going to shape the future, you need to understand the risks, the incentives, and how to build systems that keep you sovereign over your thoughts, your property, and your life.
