00:00:00.000 hello simone i'm excited to be here with you today today we are going to be talking about
00:00:03.360 the death of legacy media recently the big story in the news tied to this right now
00:00:08.640 is that the washington post laid off a third of their staff and they'd be mad you were just
00:00:15.720 complaining to me you're like oh my god i do not understand when you see people protest
00:00:19.120 like these people were not generating value they were not generating money anymore the number that
00:00:26.860 has been going around that i think is hilarious is they had 13 to 14 journalists as part of their
00:00:32.500 climate team just just to cover climate change and they let i think all of them go no i think they
00:00:39.160 kept one or two one or two to like which is one or two too many you can have honestly like anyone
00:00:46.060 covering economics or politics or really any i mean climate change is one of those subjects that
00:00:53.140 really only has context and importance in relation to another field like science like ecosystems like
00:01:01.960 food like any anything on its own it doesn't matter it only matters in the context of something else
00:01:09.080 so you don't need a journalist for that i can't believe they have how did they even end up with
00:01:14.580 that many i mean the way that asmongold was talking about it was it like you just get one and they just
00:01:19.240 hire more and more like they just want more of themselves they grow like a cancer no it's like
00:01:24.340 a cancer i mean wokeism and wokest topics aren't like a cancer within organizations and they
00:01:28.180 spread from the the start point and it is you have to cut out the entire cancer that's the only way to
00:01:35.560 to keep the organization alive yeah and if you're not willing to and that's the thing with giant
00:01:39.480 bureaucracies it becomes harder and harder and harder to do that so giant bureaucracies perform less
00:01:44.600 less well which is why new companies are able to bubble up and do new and cool things like our fab
00:01:49.640 dot ai creating the best ai chatbots around and they really are we're gonna start advertising like
00:01:54.760 actually yes like actually yeah i've used the other bots they're not as good and and it's just because
00:01:59.960 we're using the top of the line models really and everybody else tries to do some proprietary
00:02:03.080 nonsense but anyway to keep going here if you get an idea because i do not think people realize
00:02:08.840 contrasted ways because we're going to be talking about in today's episode is the phenomenon of media
00:02:15.800 dying but also the phenomenon of what's replacing it how you can gather information today how people
00:02:24.040 will gather information in the future because a lot of people are like well when the media is gone
00:02:28.200 how is information parsed how do you get stories how do you know what's happening in the world
00:02:33.400 and i mean the answer is obvious now people are getting it from their information circles you
00:02:38.120 know you were just talking about how i was learning about what happened to the washington post by
00:02:42.040 watching asthma gold don't you all want a wife like that who genuinely is just like what does asthma
00:02:47.320 gold have to say yeah no i think a lot of guys are like yeah i want a wife who's addicted to asthma
00:02:54.280 gold but anyway i do not think people understand just how few people actually read even the largest of
00:03:01.080 media organizations and we have an older episode where we go into the numbers on this and in that episode
00:03:07.160 even when the channel was much smaller i was pointing out that if you look at like if you
00:03:11.880 divide the show's viewership by two because there's two of us working on it um each of us is worse i
00:03:17.640 think it was seven full-time staff at the new york times when you can we're contrasting our viewership
00:03:23.480 numbers was the average viewership numbers of the new york times um no in terms of yeah it was bad
00:03:30.200 and i can try to find those numbers i'll add in post here to get an idea of just how bad it was so the
00:03:34.600 average american when they click through to a newspaper is on that link for 1.5 minutes actually
00:03:41.320 a little less than that so i'm inflating the numbers a bit okay if you look at the new york times the
00:03:47.960 new york times gets around 385.7 million clicks per month that comes down to around 9 642k hours now
00:03:59.480 now consider that they have 1700 journalists working there and there are two of us that means
00:04:09.160 the number of people watching our content is equivalent for each one of us to 44 new york times
00:04:15.560 journalists we have the same influence on the public as 44 new york times journalists for each of us
00:04:25.560 individuals 22 for the show in general do you have any idea how much 44 people is that's like
00:04:32.520 more people than could fit in our entire house and we are not a particularly large youtube channel either
00:04:40.360 to give you an idea when you're talking about new york times pieces because i'll go through the major
00:04:45.720 things because i think a lot of people they'll look at the total viewership on these platforms and they
00:04:50.200 get confused because what they're confusing is a few viral pieces versus how many people are reading
00:04:57.080 the average piece right how many clicks there is does the average piece get not the long tail piece
00:05:02.920 right so if you're looking these days and you and you do the math on this should i explain how views
00:05:09.240 based i'll just okay views based on 1.6 billion monthly page views 7 000 articles media median adjusted
00:05:15.320 full reads at 25 to 35 percent rate higher for long form eg 10k views uh to 25 equals 2.5k
00:05:23.720 engagement time is 30 to 45 seconds which supports this and with the new york times the way that we
00:05:29.320 did that by the way is is the average site time it's i think 30 to 45 seconds as i said and then
00:05:33.720 you're looking at 1.6 billion monthly page views and so you're like okay so how what does that translate
00:05:39.240 to in watch time versus what is our watch time sure yeah which generally like when we're humming along
00:05:45.880 right now i think we're at around like 120 000 130 000 hours a month awesome wow and in our norm when
00:05:53.000 we get to like our peak because we've hit this number a few different times has been around 150 000
00:05:58.440 we've gotten to around 200 000 points so we'll see if we can get to a norm of over 200 000 this year
00:06:03.960 but anyway if you're looking at the estimated medium viewers per story in the new york times
00:06:11.560 you're looking at 10 000 to 25 000 but the amount of money that goes into each article is
00:06:17.800 is enormous well so you're going to understand why this doesn't make sense anymore and the estimated
00:06:22.840 number of people who read an average new york times story to the end of the story is around 2 500
00:06:29.320 to 8 700 not a lot so the average new york times story is getting about the engagement as an average
00:06:38.360 video on this channel yes with one small counterpoint which is and i think this is a difference with
00:06:45.160 old media that's going to keep it alive a little bit longer than these dismal numbers would suggest
00:06:51.880 which is that a lot of people keep in mind in new york times doesn't make money based on
00:06:57.160 views it makes money based on subscriptions and people often get subscriptions to publications they
00:07:04.200 do not read i mean obviously a lot of people do it out of inertia or it's a an institution or a
00:07:11.640 publication or a doctor's office or whatever right and they just get it because they've always got it
00:07:16.840 and they always will get it and so it's going to take a generation for that to end or you know more
00:07:22.360 institutional shakeups for an auditing team to be like wait why are you paying for this when no
00:07:27.160 one's using it you know more doge kind of stuff because that happened a lot with doge people were
00:07:31.640 like wait no one has ever used this software ever why are we paying for it but then there's also the
00:07:37.000 element that people buy like i think the new yorker is a better example of this they buy a subscription
00:07:43.240 to it so it sits in their house and when people come over they're like oh you read the new yorker no
00:07:50.760 one reads the new yorker you know what i mean like five people read the new yorker but they they have
00:07:56.920 those just as a signaling thing most people who received and i remember when i was a kid
00:08:03.080 my family had a subscription to the san francisco chronicle because it was the nearest big newspaper
00:08:10.040 we paid for it we had it delivered daily for a while and everyone in our household would read at
00:08:16.120 most one article we didn't get it because we wanted to read all the articles like you it's not
00:08:23.880 really a per article view kind of thing it's a i'm the kind of person who reads the newspaper every day
00:08:32.280 and it's very much a social signaling and more importantly a self-signaling thing we talk about
00:08:38.120 different models of friendship like you have different types of friends some people are friends
00:08:42.440 that are more mercenary we love them the best they're called utility friends in our household
00:08:46.920 they're friends that you keep around like if you're a kid it's because they have the best video
00:08:50.200 game console if you're an adult it's because they have the best social setter because you know they're
00:08:54.680 they they host the best parties or they're entertaining but then they're also character
00:08:59.160 reinforcing friends and that's because you know you're a professional woman on the upswing you need 0.99
00:09:04.200 to have your token gay friend and your girls that you lunch with or you know like you're like this kind
00:09:09.880 of guy and so you need like the guys you watch sports with like your the the drama of your life
00:09:15.480 is not complete without the this set of characters supporting characters and a new york times subscription
00:09:23.800 is is often a very important prop based on a character that you're trying to fulfill now we wouldn't
00:09:30.440 say that people who are agentic do this kind of thing you know that they live in a much more pragmatic way
00:09:36.600 but most people are what you might describe as npcs they're not actually thinking in terms of what
00:09:42.760 is going to fulfill that which i believe has inherent value in their world they're more like
00:09:47.560 i'm this kind of person what would this kind of person do and there are lots of people who are like
00:09:52.920 well i'm this kind of person and this kind of person gets the new york times and so that's probably
00:09:59.080 what's keeping this publication alive a lot longer and why i would just want to add that annotation
00:10:03.720 to your note about the views that each article gets does that make sense that was really long-winded
00:10:09.800 but i think that you're you're you're absolutely right about that and i think that you also there's
00:10:16.440 a lot of people who get the new york times for just the puzzles to keep that in mind as well oh my god
00:10:21.480 no this is actually true so like i've mentioned this on another podcast recently so sorry but like
00:10:27.000 for three months every morning i looked at the top google trends results and often the result was
00:10:34.440 like oh my god america are you okay bro because it was like always like on a saturday morning or friday
00:10:39.560 night it was like accident injury lawyer and stuff like really bad trending searches but very very
00:10:46.360 commonly it was like new york times crossword puzzle hints and like wordle hints and so you're 100 right
00:10:54.840 about that yeah for the games that's so sad can you imagine the pessimism you have to grow as the
00:11:01.160 cto of the new york times or like the analytics experts who like actually know what people look at
00:11:08.360 yeah so if if we're looking at ours sorry if we're looking at the the next big ones right because i just
00:11:15.720 started with the new york times because that's one of the top ones here right yeah looking at something
00:11:18.840 like like the washington post had to lay off everyone on an average article they're only getting
00:11:22.840 three thousand to ten thousand views and they're only getting about six hundred people to three
00:11:28.920 thousand people reading to the end of our article we see it in for your average post it's five thousand
00:11:34.600 to fifteen thousand it was only 750 to three thousand seven hundred reading to the end of an article this
00:11:40.040 also shows what a huge scam pr is because there are and like even large corporations will pay huge amounts
00:11:47.160 money an article in the new york times it's this big get and they think it's going to lead to
00:11:52.920 conversions or an roi of some sort they don't realize that no one is going to read that no one's
00:11:58.920 going to learn about them through this no nobody cares i really want to highlight what someone is
00:12:03.400 saying here because this is always a big problem for me when i'm talking to people and they're like oh
00:12:06.680 i'll do a business and then the media will talk about it and then everyone will use it
00:12:10.760 and i'm like even if you get a piece in the new york times you're looking at in terms of reading that
00:12:16.760 piece until the point that they read your company's name you know eight thousand impressions five
00:12:21.960 thousand impressions that is not a lot of impressions and then even if they get there
00:12:27.160 what portion of them are going to click over what uh you know maybe ten percent five percent so you're
00:12:33.720 talking about hundreds of clicks over to your product this is for the new york times the best
00:12:39.240 website you could get okay you you could buy that with like a few hundred dollars on at google ads
00:12:47.080 it is just not that relevant you need the piece to go viral and then you need to ask well why is
00:12:51.560 the piece on you going to go viral right but it's more than that it's also when it comes to negative
00:12:57.400 media when people freak out about negative media about them it hasn't gone viral and i just cannot
00:13:02.040 help but roll my eyes i'm like nobody cares nobody cares that x magazine or x thing wrote some mean
00:13:08.360 piece on you it is irrelevant unless it gets picked up by the algorithm and comes up when people search
00:13:13.960 your name and that and that can be relevant but in general what the news media does is just not very
00:13:19.640 important an article about us last week in the new york times did anyone here or at least that name
00:13:24.920 checked us did anyone here know that no nobody nobody because no one cares no one like hey you're in the
00:13:32.120 new york times again because nobody cares no one knew literally because i mean the article was on jd
00:13:38.520 vance having an additional kid which is just not something you're going to click through on because
00:13:41.880 who cares we know he's having additional kids yeah they just felt they needed to have a perfunctory
00:13:46.280 article on he had a kid what do the pronatalists think and they didn't use my one it would have gone
00:13:52.520 viral if they had used my quote about us not wanting to send progressive women to mar-a-lago breeding
00:13:57.480 pits but no they just wanted me to say some nice things so they took my nice quotes which was so
00:14:04.120 sad so sad but anyway that's our version of a hit piece how dare they i'm outraged how could they
00:14:12.200 they're destroying my character my reputation yeah but the reason why it's so important is you know i can
00:14:20.280 be for arrogance reasons comparing you know these numbers to something on our you know
00:14:27.320 youtube channel but keep in mind people who get their news from our youtube channel are actually
00:14:31.080 getting their news from a cluster of channels right and many of them are bigger than our channel
00:14:36.200 so if you compare the average numbers of let's say a fox news article which is 5 000 to 12 000
00:14:41.960 with reading it to the end 800 to 3 600 and you compare that to an average kirscher piece or an average
00:14:49.400 leaflet piece or an average knucks or you really want to blow it out like i'm using kirscher because i think
00:14:54.280 people who watch kirscher and leaflet think of them as like niche content producers right like or or vtv
00:15:02.280 romanian whatever yeah he an average one of his pieces because he's around us inside i think a lot
00:15:08.120 of people who are into these sorts of channels do not realize you think you are watching some niche thing
00:15:15.240 but you're actually part of a constellation of news sources that is significantly larger in terms of its reach
00:15:22.440 then the vast majority like really only edged out by like the new york times specifically in the bbc
00:15:29.480 in terms of its actual reach and then if you are in the asthma gold slash knucks into our constellation
00:15:36.600 which is like bigger like i'll put here like sargon of a cod and asthma gold and tim pool and stuff like
00:15:41.960 that and these are videos that are regularly getting on daily videos of millions of views and you know it's
00:15:50.120 not because people are trying to signal something to themselves people don't necessarily do themselves
00:15:54.360 favors by like thinking of themselves just like oh yes i'm so proud of myself for being the person who
00:15:59.720 has a cartoon character tell me about the news every no no i actually do think it's about self-signaling
00:16:05.800 really oh yeah yeah yeah so as the gold i think people watch asthma gold to signal that they know
00:16:11.080 what the averaged like informed bro like i just think he's genuinely entertaining i i yeah you know
00:16:19.400 he's he's entertaining but he's not like an entertainer in the same way that knucks is really
00:16:25.240 more of an entertainer right like oh well well knucks has affectations if that's what you mean but yeah
00:16:31.080 asthma gold is what his his the core to his stick is that you feel like you are getting the opinion
00:16:39.800 of your average based centrist yeah your average american male who plays video games and is
00:16:47.320 interested in politics and hangs out online um and he does a very good job of that i mean i think
00:16:53.800 he does a good job of that because that's exactly what he's delivering um he has not he has not changed
00:16:59.080 his lifestyle you know he is he still perceives the world the way he did when he started and i you
00:17:04.760 know that's why he's he's gotten big whereas with other content creators like leaflet i think a lot
00:17:08.680 of people watch leaflet because leaflet it creates like okay so the reason that people watch leaflet
00:17:14.040 differs from the reason people watch like kirsha so with leaflet i think that she is the king queen 1.00
00:17:19.880 of parasocial bonds you watch leaflet because you like genuinely are like oh what a sweet person
00:17:26.040 like i'm really what wondering what this this this sweet but based person thinks right well and badass
00:17:32.200 yeah she's she's she's she's got the full she's very much playing the host club game right like
00:17:38.760 exploitatively not exploitatively but but it's it's it's she's very good at building a pair of social
00:17:45.000 bonds if you look at kirsha right another vtuber i think the the reason people go to kirsha is not like
00:17:52.120 with leaflet when i first stopped and watched her channel i was like wait is an anime avatar which is cute
00:17:58.280 but based like that's fun i want to i want to see like what a based anime person thinks right like
00:18:05.000 with kirsha you really only watch her stuff for the just that she does very good original research
00:18:12.280 that is what she's really good at and i i think the vtubing stick is really ancillary to that and
00:18:17.800 frankly i i think she should invest in a better model because her model is a little 1990s at this 0.99
00:18:23.720 point i mean she's been doing this for a long time a lot of people will freak out when you update your
00:18:27.400 model i guess but because you know people get attached to one model or whatever but
00:18:31.880 it's it's it's clearly a different era of technology when contrast it was like leaflets model
00:18:36.840 yeah i do love how more recently developed vtuber models can pick up on even subtle facial expressions
00:18:43.960 it's delightful oh it's wonderful yeah yeah you can do a lot of really fun stuff around that
00:18:49.720 but kirsha's model the sorry the reason the kirsha's whole thing the reason i'm mentioning this is
00:18:55.080 the way the new information economy works is really fascinating to me because i actually think
00:19:01.560 it's superior to news when people are like what happens when news is gone how will i know what's
00:19:06.920 true and what's not true and what's happening in the world and what's not happening in the world
00:19:11.000 and my response to you is you you generally like if you're part of the informational ecosystem in which
00:19:15.880 we exist you likely have a better understanding of current geopolitics than if you are watching the
00:19:22.680 news because the news just for whatever reason chooses not to focus on a lot of really important
00:19:27.960 stuff and the reason why i i mentioned it's it's it's a bizarre new ecosystem is because it doesn't
00:19:34.520 function okay it actually functions a lot the way the news used to but is more transparent about it
00:19:41.640 so i'll explain what i mean by this remember how i said kirsha is really good with original
00:19:46.680 research right you have a few people on this pyramid of content producers who are at the bottom
00:19:54.360 uh this would be channels like ours uh often kirsha often what's another one that the one that asma
00:20:03.080 gold is like his go-to one to cover uh oh the asian dude yeah asian dude in my head his channel's
00:20:09.800 name is something like default voice but when i search it i can't find it or coffee zilla because
00:20:14.280 he said i can't remember but he also does a lot of coffee zilla stuff and some other youtubers who
00:20:18.920 yeah like they either yeah they there's this go-to group of people who do original yeah it's video
00:20:25.080 based research it's more like original journalism yeah research to discover new topics and then
00:20:33.080 an information on those topics are expanded there is actually a category of channels below us there's
00:20:38.200 somebody like default voice that does the actual on the ground fact finding but i didn't think of
00:20:44.120 it when i was thinking about the funnel because almost nobody watches these channels so like if
00:20:47.480 i'm trying to understand like how drones are being used in the ukraine i might find like five hours of
00:20:53.640 videos by some drone autist that like 400 people have watched and then i synthesize all of the content
00:20:59.480 from there and then that becomes our content and it's the same with him when he's finding like x the you
00:21:05.480 know thing was blm where they burned down x monument or something like that he's not doing the on the
00:21:11.320 ground stuff he's going through whatever autist compiled every single tweet about x thing and then
00:21:18.600 trying to find out what's true and what can be presented to you guys in an entertaining way like if
00:21:23.240 we're trying to do something in our channel we can't just say you know washington post laid off 30 of
00:21:29.160 its staff we need to have some wider thesis about the informational ecosystem where it's going etc that
00:21:36.280 introduces either new ideas or new patterns or new facts like in our recent epstein piece right the one
00:21:43.880 that we would have released yesterday which i'm surprised didn't do as well we found evidence that
00:21:48.920 he likely did may still be alive that no one else had found yet like i can't just do a compilation on all
00:21:55.800 the stuff that everyone else is already talking about in our informational ecosystem because i don't
00:21:59.960 feel like that's what our channel is for right but then there's that whole layer on top of us right
00:22:06.040 which includes individuals like leaflet and asthma gold and stuff like that who go over other original
00:22:12.440 research channels videos and provide commentary on that and people can say well that's not the way news
00:22:18.200 used to work and it's like no it's exactly the way news used to work you had on the ground field
00:22:22.520 reporters on the ground field researchers they would find information that wasn't being covered
00:22:28.680 or that wasn't well known and then you would have a room full of pundits or talking heads that would
00:22:34.200 all discuss that at like a round table or something like that right and that's what we are seeing with
00:22:40.040 this other layer of the informational ecosystem i would also say to build on your we're coming full
00:22:46.120 circle element of it yeah you're describing how youtubers and news commentators including our
00:22:53.000 channel but especially a lot of the vtubers we love and asthma gold etc even hassan as well like he
00:22:59.080 falls into this category that they are a lot like broadcast newsers news news people journalists
00:23:06.760 that have been on tv the newspapers and magazines are now returning to their original format
00:23:15.400 the original magazine was a very limited circulation publication that was supported by a small
00:23:24.440 collection of patrons who would pay one or more people to put together very specific information
00:23:31.560 about a domain and that where you're really seeing the return to this is with substack and people's
00:23:38.200 paid substacks that are on very specific things and i i think that it's really interesting to see
00:23:46.360 this full circle return that now people are going back to paying for information that is very specific
00:23:53.560 and and from a trusted very diligent source and going back to these more organic models there was just too
00:24:01.000 much bureaucratic drift and you can really also see how bureaucratic bloat and mission drift just lead to this
00:24:09.160 inevitable refreshing of organizational formats which is something you talk about as an inevitability
00:24:15.560 and and on substack you get a lot more original research on things like us you get a lot more
00:24:19.240 100 yeah and so i'm very excited i well so now let's talk about the quality of the research we have in the
00:24:27.560 the two locations okay i actually think that this is a a pretty good system yeah the first is that the
00:24:34.440 media system and and this is the reason why it's it's losing so hard or one of the big reasons why
00:24:40.120 is it had become institutionally captured uh by sort of the you know as as mcgold was like you let in a few
00:24:46.680 people and then they start multiplying and they start hiring other people that have these same opinions
00:24:50.680 and they will attack you or anyone at the organization who doesn't share these opinions
00:24:54.920 and try to get you fired and you didn't see this in the opposite direction conservatives weren't
00:24:58.680 trying to get any progressive in an organization fired but progressives routinely they were like
00:25:03.320 well it's this conservative opinion you're not allowed to have this is the one above the fold like
00:25:07.480 you know right now in the vtuber space there's this big thing where they're trying to get
00:25:10.680 somebody canceled but it wasn't vtuber it's a just just like streamer because she wouldn't denounce i
00:25:15.960 she was just like look you don't need to come to see me to get your opinions on this stuff right
00:25:20.520 like that's not why i'm not educated in this and you shouldn't be taking a penny and people flip
00:25:25.640 the lid because they do not want anyone in their space who's not actively promoting their agenda
00:25:30.680 right and that is how entire spaces turn biased and then people leave those spaces because it's not
00:25:36.520 useful anymore like the news isn't useful if it's just telling you the the party ideology i thought it
00:25:41.720 was emiru who got in trouble for that this was sexually assaulted at twitchcon or whatever yeah well
00:25:48.840 and she was the one who had that mischief as a partner and they had that was that was that oh
00:25:52.920 god yeah she's what a what a 12 month period yeah what a cycle for her right it's been through it 0.99
00:25:59.240 yeah give her a break guys oh you gotta get emiru on the channel that'd be fun she's cool 0.85
00:26:08.600 yeah yeah like that well you know she couldn't come on if she's getting attacked just for 0.99
00:26:12.120 not denouncing her friendship with asthma gold god imagine imagine if she was on base camp people
00:26:18.520 would not like that um it's funny i was reading one of the comments on the base camp subreddit which
00:26:23.560 is now doing terribly well it's still doing better than most like jordan peterson subreddit or something
00:26:27.800 but it's it's not at its peak which used to be one of the largest conservative subreddits because
00:26:32.760 got shadow banned but it still serves its function it's still fun so i was reading the comments on it
00:26:37.800 and somebody was like oh my god like i saw this comment and i was like it's so sad that this
00:26:42.200 comment won't be here for long because it's hilarious and then they go and then i checked
00:26:45.720 the subreddit name thank god that stuff exists oh my god well i mean we're because we're shadow
00:26:54.120 banned now i don't even mod as heavily because i'm like i don't freaking let's see you know the random
00:26:59.400 sensitive people aren't going to see this anymore also i adopt my cap to those who have taken on
00:27:04.920 modding rules thank you so much for helping yeah i'm sorry it's a thankless job people just get
00:27:09.480 mad they're like why did you take me down it's like well because you said you were going to kill
00:27:12.760 somebody like what did you expect be be more creative you know noticing noticing you know you
00:27:21.400 can say things like that you know you don't need to say the full thing like what we do on this channel
00:27:27.720 i actually think we're pretty good at incurring the line it's hurting the line of what we're allowed to
00:27:31.560 say but the point here being is let's let's not talk about the yeah the quality of this so one is
00:27:38.440 you a lot of people realize they were just reading the party line and there wasn't actually that much
00:27:43.800 independent new news reporting happening from the major news outlets well i think there was also a
00:27:49.960 realization around 10 years ago so this has been going for a long time the journalists were just
00:27:55.240 recycling other journalists posts and not actually doing diligence and we also met journalists who
00:28:01.400 were doing really well in their publications and could basically get whatever job they wanted
00:28:07.080 and we're like oh why why why are you doing so well and they're like oh so i like actually call people
00:28:14.120 basically they actually just do original reporting and no one else does everyone else just like
00:28:20.040 googles it and then sort of plagiarizes but with sufficient word changing that they don't get caught
00:28:25.960 for it other people's work and i think that that's an underrated element of this as well
00:28:32.280 so with that in mind the the the plagiarization and everything like that yeah so consider war
00:28:38.440 reporting or something like that because that's an area where people can be like well you absolutely
00:28:41.560 need journalists for foreign correspondent reporting right for war reporting for what's happening in
00:28:46.200 government reporting and what we've learned i think since journalism has has basically died is actually you
00:28:52.440 don't need that if you want to get an understanding of what's going on right now in the ukraine you're
00:28:59.400 going to get a much better understanding if you followed like the channels that are specialized in
00:29:03.720 this on both sides then you would have ever had any idea of what was going on in say vietnam during
00:29:09.480 the vietnam war you simply did not really know what was going on you might have known about major
00:29:15.480 encounters or something like that but you wouldn't have had a good grip of who's winning who's losing why they're
00:29:21.560 winning why they're losing much less nuanced breakdowns of specific encounters how equipment
00:29:29.720 is being used how equipment is being deployed how tactics are changing no just the the citizen
00:29:35.320 journalism reporting on weaponry on the war in ukraine alone is so god-tier i can't even get over it like
00:29:43.560 and multiple people who listen to this podcast have on multiple occasions sent us links to these amazing
00:29:49.880 channels just on the drones just on the drones it's it's incredible it's so cool and so people are
00:29:55.400 like well how how does this end up happening in a way where you can get information that is largely
00:30:01.560 unbiased and this is this is how it happens first you need to understand that all information has a
00:30:07.160 bias whether it's from a newspaper from a youtuber or whatever you find the unbiased truce through
00:30:13.160 attempts at triangulation from biased media sources we for the people who watch us and i openly have a
00:30:20.680 bias on almost everything i discuss because i want people to know that in their triangulation of what
00:30:26.360 is actually true when they are looking at our channel yeah because it is so it's it's so much more
00:30:31.560 insidious and less honest to say we are the unbiased truth and that is not true no everyone has an agenda
00:30:41.480 everyone's got an agenda so you and then on top of the bias sources so you're going to have some
00:30:47.800 sources that are like more pro ukraine you're going to have some sources that are more pro russia
00:30:52.360 and they'll try to spin the information in both directions but you can typically overlap those sources
00:30:58.200 and say oh here's what they agree on so this is almost certainly true like they both agree a conflict
00:31:05.000 happened here they both agree that like this many people died at a high end and this many people died
00:31:09.400 it alone right yeah they both agree that you know these tactics were important but then you have
00:31:14.520 the people who are just autistic nerds which is another great source of information yes through 0.99
00:31:21.160 people like us when we're doing our video on something like drone warfare or something like that
00:31:28.840 we are before doing that video going through a bunch of videos by drone nerds and i trust these
00:31:35.320 individuals because sometimes it can be very clear that they or military nerds that the military a lot
00:31:41.320 of military nerds just actually like don't have a bias they're just like effing nerdy about military
00:31:45.880 equipment and want to understand how it's being used how it's being deployed and so we then go and and how
00:31:52.280 do they get that information they they go autist out right like they go they look for uh information on
00:31:58.680 downed drones they look for to try to understand how they're being made how they're being deployed they look for
00:32:04.520 chatter from people who are actually in the military on deployment recently undeployed stuff like that
00:32:10.200 yeah and they put together huge amounts of information on that then you have people like
00:32:14.200 us who come in and say like i'll do two things i will one read the original sources but then two
00:32:19.240 i'll take when i can get a ton of sources on something and then dump all those sources into ai
00:32:23.480 and get the ai to synthesize you know what it is that these sources agree on about this technology
00:32:29.160 then i take that and i try to repackage that for you the audience in a way that is more entertaining
00:32:36.360 than what you've been getting in other locations and that saves you time because even if we're
00:32:41.720 trying to compile efficiently i mean it takes a lot of time to like find the good sources go through
00:32:47.320 everything choose what's actually salient yeah and then the other thing that you won't get from
00:32:52.200 mainstream news which is really bad is you they are too afraid of making mistakes in their reporting
00:33:00.440 which means that there are huge areas that they essentially do not cover and a great example of
00:33:07.400 this was a recent video on the recent coup attempt in china and people will say well you know we don't
00:33:13.560 have hard confirmation on this part of the coup attempt like the uh the the live battle with weapons
00:33:19.480 and so they're like so why do you why would you report that right if we don't have full confirmation
00:33:23.960 it's because the rumor mill is saying it happened and two the rumor mill that is saying it happened
00:33:29.080 now predicted that there was going to be some sort of conflict between she and these generals and that
00:33:34.040 that is something that was not being predicted by like the new york times when i would read it like
00:33:37.800 they didn't say oh these generals are about to be ousted but the rumor mill said that these
00:33:41.960 generals were about to be ousted right so and that's relevant for making decisions geopolitically
00:33:47.160 investing planning the future but in addition to that i can do things that the new york times can't
00:33:52.280 do right like i can say what what's the probability you know given that some people are saying that
00:33:57.240 there was an armed fight an armed conflict before these generals taken out that g would not just take
00:34:03.240 out these generals but arrest their entire extended family um and and by the way he legally wasn't allowed
00:34:08.840 to do this he needed a full vote of that council to arrest anyone else on the council but because
00:34:15.960 he arrested two of the people on the council right and there was only two left i mean he never could
00:34:21.800 have gotten that majority vote yeah so he didn't he didn't have a way to legally do what he did which
00:34:26.760 means that he must have felt extremely pressured for some reason or another like this is actually
00:34:32.280 destabilizing and so i have to look at that information and make an educated guess as to
00:34:37.640 okay how plausible is what's coming through the rumor mill or you could look at something like
00:34:42.440 what goes on with the cuba story we recently did right people running out of oil the oil shipments
00:34:47.880 stopping how cuba is likely to react to this and a lot of people were like why do we care what's
00:34:52.920 going on with cuba right like cuba is an irrelevant country and i'm like well cuba is a big part of
00:34:57.720 training the leaders of a little group called antifa and they do matter what's going on in the us they
00:35:03.480 also were important in training both the leaders and setting up the united states socialist party
00:35:08.280 which played a big part in things like sorhen mandami's rise to power which is going to be
00:35:11.960 very important in the future of us politics if we can wipe cuba off the board as an antagonistic
00:35:17.480 player that's really relevant to the future of the culture wars in the united states which i think
00:35:23.880 might surprise people that cuba is a heavy hitter in the culture wars but they are they are heavy
00:35:28.280 hit and i had no idea no idea training programs for progressives and stuff like that but that's
00:35:32.360 something you wouldn't know if you're not one interviewing with antifa people like that
00:35:37.320 what i was really cued into that is i was interviewing somebody who was in antifa because
00:35:43.480 again getting original sources right like somebody from antifa watching our show or a former antifa
00:35:48.040 member they're not going to go to the new york times or something like that especially if they
00:35:51.320 have some more out there ideas the worst they probably have gone to the new york times and the
00:35:55.400 new york times never got back to them yeah they don't they don't care but he would drop something and
00:36:00.360 then it's important for people like us to notice when he dropped something so i can dig deeper
00:36:04.680 so in one phrase he said oh to talk about like how senior a person was he goes they were trained
00:36:11.880 in cuba right like you know he's like oh you know one of the real big wigs you know trained in cuba 0.53
00:36:15.800 or something like that and i heard that and i was like that's a weird thing to say is that a sign of
00:36:19.560 status in antifa so then i start to google to see you know when we're doing the google story have
00:36:23.720 other people said stuff like this that have had connections to antifa and yes it is seen as a sign of
00:36:28.840 status within these leftist networks to receive some degree of training was in the cuban regime
00:36:34.440 and i was like wait is the cuban regime like flying people out for training google google google
00:36:38.840 oh they are and i'm not seeing this reported in the new york times i'm not seeing this reported on fox
00:36:45.480 i'm not seeing them report that what's happening now was the oil situation is relevant to our culture
00:36:50.520 war to these protests that are happening on the streets right now that the people running these
00:36:54.440 protests and these agitators are trained by cuba and often funded by russia if you go to our video
00:36:59.960 on the blm that blm was overwhelmingly funded by russia we really pull out receipts in that one and it's
00:37:05.480 been basically public knowledge for a while just nobody cohesively covered it yeah and the question
00:37:10.520 is like why and it's like well because it didn't fit the narrative that fox news wanted to tell which
00:37:14.920 is russia isn't that bad and you know being unfairly maligned and it didn't fit the news that the
00:37:20.120 progressives wanted to tell which is blm is great and not an astro church movement i mean so nobody
00:37:24.920 tells it right and so you need this sort of independent news source to get stories like that
00:37:30.120 out there and get them in front of you the viewer right and and and for that reason you can without
00:37:37.320 on the ground and and people can be like well come on you can't have sources everywhere in the world
00:37:42.600 and it's actually you can you can have forces everywhere in the world that's relevant and the way you
00:37:47.160 have sources everywhere in the world that's relevant is because you either have people in
00:37:51.560 the world everywhere in the world that's relevant i mean maybe not like the middle of antarctica or
00:37:55.240 something but generally whether it's inside of universities or on the ground in the ukraine or
00:38:00.040 on the ground in the russian forces or in iran and i can read those and we don't just have people
00:38:04.760 there we have fans there who will reach out to us and be like oh yeah i live in iran i like you guys on
00:38:09.480 this stuff and they'll say oh you got this wrong you got this wrong and then we go and we correct it
00:38:13.640 right really annoying by the way i cannot change videos i can only cut parts out to videos that are
00:38:19.640 on youtube so we cannot edit past videos we can only mention that we made mistakes in future videos
00:38:24.680 that i find very very frustrating but just more more accurate reporting from direct sources which
00:38:31.880 is a very common element of modern youtuber yeah because we are there are actually people there and
00:38:37.480 then there's some countries that are so repressive that you can't easily get stories out of them
00:38:40.840 right um the irony about these countries is that the legacy media had completely failed
00:38:48.120 at doing stories on these countries if i want an understanding of what's going on in north korea
00:38:53.560 i am not going to get that from any legacy media source i need to go to the youtubers and the
00:39:00.120 sub stackers who specialize in north korea watching yeah it's the same as what's going on politically in
00:39:05.240 china mainstream news organizations i mean you basically need a spy network to do that
00:39:09.800 and the only way to get that spy network is through the rumor mill right and there are
00:39:14.120 specific rumor mills that work on these specific locations to try to understand what's going on
00:39:19.080 within them and the legacy media just wasn't able to cover that so like we're able to break apart
00:39:25.560 and unfold black boxes that they can't even touch
00:39:31.240 so i think that that's another thing that's really important right like that well okay and then there's that
00:39:36.760 and then there's the the framing and lens that the new media is able to give you so if you watch us
00:39:45.880 we are a married team we're known for a pronatalist agenda but also we have a big background we've
00:39:52.920 written a number of books on things like human sexuality things like human anthropology the
00:39:58.120 anthropology of religions how they evolved a lot of religious research like original originist research
00:40:04.280 here original original original religious research should mean heretical religious research you know
00:40:10.600 we do a lot of that and i also you know i have a background in biology and psychology and neuroscience
00:40:16.760 and brain computer interface in terms of like where i've worked and schizophrenia research and you have
00:40:20.760 a background in in marketing and business and environmentalism and because of these backgrounds when
00:40:27.800 the larger pool of information is filtered through us it's going to be filtered in a way
00:40:34.280 and we're going to notice patterns that people without that aren't going to be able to replicate
00:40:45.480 and i think that that's that's another thing that's really important because you weren't getting
00:40:48.360 that in legacy media usually you'd be very rare to have a random person at the new york times have degrees in
00:40:54.120 let's say neuroscience unless they were covering neuroscience you don't have the neuroscientist
00:40:59.400 anthropology religion guy cover you know what's going on in cuba right now and another thing that
00:41:05.960 we try to do actually thoughts before i move on simone no i just i like i like the direction that
00:41:13.240 things are taking yeah well that i also think it's pretty interesting and it's a type of content that
00:41:18.840 you're able to get in this new world that you couldn't get in the old world is evergreen content
00:41:26.440 and by this what i mean is when i have some new crack brain theory about what might be causing the
00:41:32.920 trans phenomenon right yeah is it an alternative for unaliving yourself or i'm asking myself can we use 0.98
00:41:39.960 the phasing out of lobotomies like once we realize that that was a harmful procedure to try to chart how
00:41:45.640 slowly and what the phase out of something like childhood gender transition is going to be phased
00:41:50.600 out you know and when it when it comes to these sorts of broader more theoretical questions or
00:41:57.320 questions about like how reality works you know how to how to what it was metaphysics of the background
00:42:02.040 of reality you couldn't get that published in a mainstream publication right like that would just
00:42:07.400 not have they're not even in an editorial in the new york times you go to the new york times and it's like
00:42:10.920 i got some weird theory about why guys are turned on by x what why women read so much gay fiction like 0.70
00:42:18.360 like why is there so many gay men in female fiction and if the new york times posted it it wouldn't be an
00:42:23.080 actual investigation it would be like well women love representation and women are amazing and they're 1.00
00:42:29.960 drawn by or it'd be like well women love exploiting white women love exploiting other cultures and they 1.00
00:42:36.200 read it because they're horrible and they need to read more stuff about fat lesbians but you know i i 1.00
00:42:42.600 think that there's that well i think the other really fun thing and it's a reason why people watch us 0.94
00:42:46.600 and and are moving to these new networks is even if you're like progressive and you disagree with what
00:42:51.080 we're saying you at least realize that we're trying to be factual in the things that we cover right and
00:42:56.760 so you might see us cover something like what's the science on which race is the most attractive and
00:43:02.280 you'd be like you know what no mainstream publication is going to post that and that's something i want
00:43:08.760 to know like that's something that's useful to anyone even even if you're in one of the less
00:43:13.240 advantaged races and the and the interesting thing about like digging into that kind of research
00:43:18.920 is it allows us to say to a conservative audience like oh hold on guys maybe it does actually suck to
00:43:24.920 be black in america look at these attractiveness ratings yeah yeah it comes from a more genuine 0.95
00:43:33.240 place yes it's a genuine place and then that actually breaks through somebody and they're like 0.91
00:43:38.200 you know what i do feel bad for black people in america like black women do not reply to them at 1.00
00:43:44.360 very high rates and black men do not reply to black women at very high rates and yeah ratings that's just 0.99
00:43:49.800 not that's not nice but do you i don't know let's also talk about how ai is going to change all this
00:43:54.840 because ai is operating on top of all my gosh yeah and the core threat from ai in regards to this stuff
00:44:01.240 is you get harmonic patterns is what i'm going to call them i need to come up with a thread okay but
00:44:09.000 define this what what do you think are harmonic patterns so i'll call it the ai harmonic harmonic
00:44:17.160 synchronization threat so what this means is if you look at certain types of content we did a
00:44:24.680 video that roman romania tv actually found this he was the one to first report this phenomenon it was
00:44:29.560 fascinating a good example of him catching something so he reported this phenomenon where if he listened
00:44:36.600 to the ai about what and exactly what to title that video we get a bunch of you know ai's running on
00:44:44.120 minimum processing capacity in the comments responding only to the title and not the full
00:44:48.920 content of what was produced yeah they didn't even bother like crawling the transcript of his video to
00:44:54.280 make it yes yeah i can crawl transcripts okay yeah this is this meant that this was an ai running on
00:45:00.360 minimum capacity basically yeah like a few tokens were spent oh my gosh i can't wait until people have
00:45:07.400 like turns of phrase we're like i do not have the tokens for this right now i do not have the tokens for
00:45:12.200 this no we need to make that that's a base camp we'll make a shirt with that i love that i do not
00:45:17.880 have the tokens for this right now um so sorry what was i saying ai tokens ai tokens oh yes so um
00:45:25.400 but the question was is why were all of these bots responding to the video that's title had been
00:45:30.920 recommended by another bot and it's because ai is very good at producing sort of the perfect average the
00:45:38.600 perfect averagely predictable next thought when you don't run it with the biases pre-built in which
00:45:46.120 you should so if you if you run the perfect average and it's going to output the perfect average so it
00:45:50.520 outputs the perfect average but that perfect average is also going to be disproportionately appealing to
00:45:55.000 other ai's that are looking for the perfect average to crawl um so you get a narrowing of the band of 0.81
00:46:01.720 preferences which can create something like the harmonic preference equalization problem a heart
00:46:07.960 a harmony at the heart of the algorithm which can draw and narrow the algorithm to the preferences of ai
00:46:16.520 over the preferences of humans yikes could totally see it though yeah good point uh which would lower
00:46:24.920 shows like ours increase shows like say mr beast or something right and this also might be what causes one
00:46:30.840 of the questions that i think we all need to ask right now is why is candace owens because temple 0.98
00:46:35.880 was asking this sounds like temple that is a good question why is candace owens on the front page of
00:46:40.440 youtube right like why has she managed to capture that i've watched her stuff i don't think her stuff is
00:46:47.080 that entertaining it's fine but it's not that entertaining and she's just wrong so frequently about like
00:46:53.960 basic facts about reality and so that she pronounces blitzkrieg blitzkrieg well that's endearing i would
00:47:02.600 know it's really cute i love it when people mispronounce things ben shapiro has been making
00:47:07.640 fun of her around the office saying that he wants to order blitzkriegs for breakfast and maybe get some
00:47:12.200 left waffles as well i love that oh god anyway sorry the question is is like i look i'm not pro like
00:47:19.320 youtube banning conservatives before but like she goes in directions with her stuff and i'm like
00:47:25.000 this gets people banned right like yeah yes yes it is odd is this intentional is this some sort of
00:47:32.200 controlled opposition is this i don't know but be aware of this stuff is it that the ai is it has she
00:47:38.280 found a harmonic frequency in the in the algo around like anti-semitism or something or i think we're in a
00:47:44.440 post-reality reality and what she says resonates with people that's my take though
00:47:50.600 that makes sense yeah that makes sense did you know that leaflet ended up playing your candace owen
00:47:57.000 chatbot she did she called it a cursed reality it is a cursed reality but i watched us until i heard
00:48:06.840 that that was really sweet maybe she watched us at the end and even looked at the comments that's
00:48:11.800 that's wild that's wild she's the best though but yeah i i feel i i think that this development
00:48:19.640 is very heartening it's very good we're going back to real gumshoe reporting we're going back to
00:48:28.520 boots on the ground well cyber gumshoe it's better than gumshoe reporting because cyber gumshoe i like
00:48:35.240 that i mean if you want to talk about like how extreme this is the number one news story last year
00:48:40.520 was reported by a teenage mormon with his mom filming right no i know it's perfect like nick and
00:48:48.760 exposing the somali fraud and the question is why didn't any media organization why didn't fox why
00:48:53.400 didn't anyone else break that yeah why weren't they out there doing this well and and this is actually
00:48:58.840 another thing that's been discussed in many you could say more academic or ideas conference-based
00:49:03.640 discussions of journalism which is the the death of local journalism because that's actually where
00:49:09.960 most of this was happening i think one of the the the stages in the slow downfall of mainstream media
00:49:18.440 was the death of local newspapers and local news outlets like local local news stations that had
00:49:26.840 reporters who would go out and go to sit in city council meetings and do boring stuff and talk with
00:49:33.000 the lady who said that someone kept killing her cats and you know like whatever right and just follow 0.63
00:49:38.280 through with leads and see what became an interesting story because those local journalists were doing the
00:49:44.120 on the ground work that fed up to national news outlets it was interesting and national news outlets
00:49:50.120 trusted those outlets as their source of information when things like citizen journalism via social media
00:49:57.480 started coming out national news outlets did not feel comfortable pulling from it i think maybe because
00:50:04.520 it's like you're not our own you're not credentialed and so they they missed that train and they stopped
00:50:11.720 using on the ground reporting that that basically ceased to exist because local news outlets no longer could afford to
00:50:18.760 exist they didn't have an audience no one was willing to pay for those subscriptions and
00:50:23.400 advertisers no longer supported their income so i think it's it's lovely to see that we've returned to that
00:50:30.680 and it's lovely also to see that i don't know the other thing you haven't talked about though is and
00:50:37.960 you've seen this a lot with the most recent epstein scandal and and drop reporting though it's not even
00:50:45.720 yeah people have been like well they're not epstein leaks they're the epstein files but it's like
00:50:50.360 the epstein drop he's like dropping a new album yeah what are the latest hits oh this one's a banger
00:50:56.760 but that so much of the stuff that started circulating ended up being
00:51:04.440 ai generated and not actually real and a lot of the discussion was like oh i don't know like i
00:51:09.800 haven't checked i haven't double checked to see if this was real or not because the government didn't
00:51:14.440 exactly make the original files very easy to search or access and and so a lot of people were just looking
00:51:20.040 at what was on x and a lot of people started posting fake things on x and and remember this also
00:51:26.200 being a really common issue whenever there was a natural disaster people would take a photo from
00:51:30.760 a different flood and be like oh it's horrible now look there's sharks in the new york subway and
00:51:36.200 it was always just a fake photo or from some other event or some other place and it's only going to
00:51:42.040 become so much worse and there's going to be a huge crisis of faith because it used to be
00:51:47.560 pics or it didn't happen yeah now it's and that's like that i have absolutely yeah yeah like i don't
00:51:54.760 know anything anymore it's so frustrating when somebody's like well that's not true you know
00:51:59.800 especially when it's something that happened to you and you're like i because before that telemundo
00:52:04.440 interview came out i described it in a few episodes this like bizarre moment with a reporter
00:52:09.160 and i'm sure a lot of fans thought i was exaggerating or trying to spin the story in my favor
00:52:14.680 or um yeah it's it's disappointing and it's it's very frustrating but the other thing is that you
00:52:20.600 only have your honesty when you have this sort of a position so i'm always worried that people will think
00:52:26.200 that that we're like intentionally manipulating information or that we don't you know we're getting
00:52:32.440 facts wrong stuff like that so i try really hard to to stay on top of that stuff but i i do find it
00:52:37.480 interesting that when people mourn the loss of the on the ground reporter what they're not realizing that
00:52:45.960 the on the ground reporter was a usually a performative and masturbatory thing you don't
00:52:51.720 need some reporter standing out in the hurricane with the with clothes blowing around him to know
00:52:57.800 everything that's going on with that hurricane right especially if you have people who are in the
00:53:01.640 hurricane tweeting about it right and thank god elon bought x because now we actually live in a free
00:53:07.160 information economy again right anyway yeah truly love you i love you you're amazing and beautiful
00:53:15.240 and tonight i want to eat half of the leftovers for my chicken that i got oh is it an air fryer kind of
00:53:21.800 thing yes the one that i used to get okay so like air fry for just two minutes yeah they gave me a
00:53:27.880 fairly large portion this time so just half of it wow okay dim sum palace is that what it was
00:53:34.760 it was got your junk chicken oh so was it dim sum palace or did you go to somewhere else dim sum palace

00:53:47.800 the copy that you used for the ad campaign so i can get that translated yeah i used their ai
00:53:53.720 optimization option so there are lots of variations in title and in text and all of those were variations
00:54:00.760 on what you said to me just so you understand why i'm about to dump a bunch of different
00:54:04.920 that works that works for me and then in addition to doing that if you could write like a one or two

00:56:22.760 i can't believe they they actually did some
00:56:52.600 protesting outside like i'm sorry i just i don't understand
00:56:59.400 the mindset and maybe this is just something you have to like be ceo of a company or be involved in
00:57:04.840 its finances to come to understand this but if you do not personally generate or at least
00:57:13.640 enable an roi for your business how on earth can you justify your existence as an employee like your
00:57:27.400 existence that is a net negative you are drawing the employee the company closer and closer to bankruptcy
00:57:33.640 with every day of your employment and yet the washington post had something like
00:57:40.840 16 climate change reports yeah i'm pulling that up right now because that can be a thing that we
00:57:44.920 talk about right like let's jump into it because this is exactly what we want to talk about at the
00:57:49.320 beginning of the video okay sorry
