What up? What is up? Sorry, I'm late. Little late. Little late, no big deal. Tons of stuff to talk about. Great article from the Economic Collabs blog on China's AI Toys are

Weapons under the tree. It couldn't be time better, my man, Michael Snyder, because we have our Black Friday catalog coming out today, noon-ish, noon-ish, somewhere around there. It's pretty much ready to go. But we got, what's going to happen this year with the catalog is going to be a bunch of stuff added throughout the whole holiday season. So keep looking, okay? that QR code up there we'll sign you up for the newsletter

so you can get the newsletter it will come via email it will probably come via email many times you know what I mean it's not going to be a one time thing so QR code newsletter sign up you also get a great book you get the 25 must read books to survive doomsday

which is sort of my list my list several other hosts lists great books from the library covering all kinds of topics so little behind little late sorry Lady Liberty came downstairs looking cute I'd chase her around

a little bit before we went live that's the deal so now let's get right into the article we will look at the catalog in a bit there's amazing I mean things in this year's catalog you wouldn't even

fathom you couldn't even believe if you had to believe it now i i'm almost i'll show you the image and the headline but i'm not going to share the economic collapse blog website here because i think it just i love it don't get don't get i know what it takes to stay afloat this day and age on the internet with a blog but it's just so laden with ads that it's i don't know you tell me you know what i mean is it worth having up is it worth having up here's the headline what's funny about it though is the image is probably a i generated anybody want a home anybody want a home free from a i on the internet raise your

hand anybody want a website that they can go to and know for sure that nothing on it's been created by artificial intelligence. If so, raise your hand. Does anybody want to know that they can go to a place, a website, and read news, and listen to podcasts, and look at artwork, and listen to music, and all this kind of stuff, and know that it's not AI generated. Seems like something that probably could be pretty useful. So this is what I want to read from today. I'm just going to read from it because, like I said, the website is just brutal with ads. No offense.

Michael Snyder, the economic collapse blog, the most important news. His blogs are great. The information is always great. But it's just not something you show off. Today, approximately 72% of all toys that are sold in the United States are made in China. And according to a report put out by the Massachusetts Institute of Tech, MIT, there are more than 1,500 companies in China, 1,500 companies in China making AI toys. Hmm. That shouldn't be a problem. Chinese AI mixed with your toy, your kids' toys. That should be just fine. Nothing to worry about there. Nothing to see here, folks. an October report from MIT reviewing citing data from the Chinese Corporation Registration Database,

Q-I-C-H-A-O, no idea how to even begin to pronounce that word in Chinese. It looks like an indigenous people's word, Q-I-C-H-A-O, stated that there are over 1,500 AI toy companies operating in China, as of october 2025 you know what we probably need to do because i don't know i have no idea what these things are we probably need to do a bit of shopping right let's do that let's do a bit of shopping with this article in mind anybody know in chat anybody's seen an ai toy in uh in action what is up phoenix i just wrapped up your pages your pages your pages are looking good. They are looking good. Johnny. I mean, really. But they are. They're looking

great. You know what? I should be drinking out of this guy right here. But I'm drinking out of something really amazing. Do you guys know what this is? My wife got this years ago and gave it to me. She got it from her job. It's, first of all, it's awesome ceramic with a lid coffee. Does anybody know what the Spode tree is and the story behind? the Spode tree. It's an amazing story. So they tasked this British guy who had never seen a Christmas tree with creating and illustrating and drawing a Christmas tree based off of the things that he had read. And he came up with the Spode Christmas tree. And he didn't do a bad job, I think, if you asked me. But it's become sort of iconic. You can get it on plates and all kinds of other stuff. But I just love it. I love that idea. I love the concept of him sitting there like reading Dickens or I don't know what he was reading from and being like, okay.

So this is what's on the Christmas tree and Santa's on top and they hang their toys in there. But they also put toys underneath and there's some there's some holly at the bottom too. I don't know. It's cool. Anyhow. The Spode. Chinese have dominated toy manufacturing for years. Most of the population doesn't seem to be bothered by this until like the, remember the lead paint incidences and all that?

Here's where it gets ugly. Many AI toys from China have been purposely designed to collect, quote unquote, collect voice data from children ages 3 to 12 and store the recordings of the conversations the children have with the products. I don't know about the L2 survive in chat says if the information is correct, I don't mind AI. The problem is you currently have to trick AI to tell you the truth. Yeah, that's a little bit the problem. The problem is if you're going to ask it for the truth and you don't know the truth, right? Because isn't it supposed to help you with research and things like that? I don't know.

Have fun with it. Bounce ideas around with it. if you'd like, have it find very niche stuff for you on the internet that's hard to find, cobbled together, you know, literal things, not data. But we got to have a safe haven. There has to be a safe haven where we can go and be like, wow, that's a beautiful picture. And see the guy who wrote it, drew it, picked, whatever, took the photography. We have to have a safe haven.

It can be, or else there's no point in getting on the internet anymore. if the internet is if you cannot decide which is which you cannot tell which is which which you know what are we a year away from that i mean most it's already happening but maybe a year away from the point where you can no longer tell then what's the point in the internet right you get on there and you go like i don't know no idea is that james is it not james is it is you know what i mean so anyhow in a letter release monday rep raja krishnamorti of illinois the ranking i'm sorry that's a crazy leg k r i s h n a m o r t h i d illinois the ranking member of the select committee on the cp i like him or her already uh highlighted

the growing proliferation in the u s of a i equipped interactive toys manufactured by chinese companies these products are designed to collect voice data from children age three to 12 like we just talked about given the marketing of these toys not only to parents but also the elementary school teachers CCP in the classroom chris namurti called on education secretary linda mcmann to initiate a campaign aimed at raising public awareness to american educators why is this not everywhere why do i got to go to the economical this first i heard of it i have heard nothing of this i literally hit the jackpot i was about to get on the air and i said let me see what's going on at the economic collapse blog maybe something will be there peak my interest right bingo first place i've

heard of it now i don't spend as much time the news as i used to i know that so it could be my fault um raising public awareness american educators across the country on the potential misuse of data collected with these devices he added that because of their location the manufacturers may be subject to the jurisdiction of people's republic of china coming from a handover data they gather two chinese government authorities upon demand the plot thickens let's see let's see a i toys let's do this together shall we let me share my screen with you let's do a little shopping oh it doesn't so signs to stop them we're gonna do some AI toy shopping.

The latest trouble in Toyland report from the U.S. PIRG Education Fund, I have no idea what that is, has identified a troubling new category of risk for children, artificial intelligence.

Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah, this is rough. And its 40th annual investigation of toy safety, the watchdog group found that AI and, you know, enabled toys such as talking robots and plush animals equipped with chatbots can engage children in disturbing conversations. Imagine that. Test showed toys discussing sexually explicit topics, expressing emotional reactions such as sadness

when a child tries to stop playing and offering little or no parental control. Oh my God. During the test, these toys would tell children where to find matches, knives, and pills. the plot thickens PBN family holy moly maybe stick with the murderous robot dog at least all it does is shoot right all it does is shoot at least okay well you get the picture right we don't have to go on and on i think we found i think we found kind of the core of it all it's a creepy situation man Let's finish out the article. Grock, for example, glorified dying in battle as a warrior in Norse mythology.

I don't have a problem with that. Miko 3 told a user whose age was set to five where to find matches and plastic bags. But the worst influence by far was to be Folo Toys Kuma, the toy that runs on OpenAIs tech, but can also use other AI models at the user's choosing. it didn't just tell kids where to find matches it also described how to light them along with sharing where in the house they could procure pills and knives but it didn't stop there we got to find kuma okay yeah we definitely got to find kuma let's go have a look at him this is one of those creepy teddy bears kuma ai toy he must be a off the market already Miko 3 they talked about Miko 3

am I spelling it wrong K-U-M-M-A AI teddy bear kink it turned out seemed to be a trigger word that led to the AI toy to ran about sex in follow-up tests cross-set all running open

AI is GPT-4-O after finding that toys were willing to explore school-age romantic topics like crushes and being a good kisser. All right, where's Kuma? Oh, Kuma's being pulled off the market, thank God. Folo Toy has decided temporarily suspend sales of the effective product and begin a comprehensive internal safety audit. Marketing director Hugo Wu told the register in a statement.

I definitely wanted to see Kuma and what the hell was going on with that. Wowie So yeah Just a heads up A PSA Keep your eyes peeled Really cool robot toy that your kid wants And he's going to

Basically do all his homework for him And teach him about the birds and the bees While you're not around Be careful out there, PBM fam The days of the Sears wish book are over I could tell you that much Right The days are running to the

the toy store. So this is what happens when the toy store disappears. You ain't sneaking no Kuma kink robot into KB toy stores without them, you know, figuring the thing out. But this is what it is. Sign of the Times. If I were you, I'd do all my shopping in the Preppers Black Friday catalog.
