Based Camp - Our Understanding of The Universe Has Been Turned On Its Head

00:00:00.000 hello simone i'm excited to be here with you today simone are you aware that there have been

00:00:05.300 a number of findings recently in cosmology that might explain two of cosmology's biggest mysteries

00:00:12.160 one the fermi paradox really yes what fermi paradox why we have not seen aliens may have

00:00:20.740 just been explained not just the fermi paradox by the way you should watch our video on our

00:00:24.860 explanation for that which is i think one of our best videos but also might explain the hubble

00:00:29.800 tension what i don't even know the hubble tension the only news i've seen recently about space stuff

00:00:35.920 is the things about that asteroid that's close to the sun and people are like oh stuff's coming off

00:00:42.100 of it aliens and obviously that's not true and it's dumb so i'm not i don't click on the links 0.69

00:00:48.380 but this is interesting stuff but what's this second mystery that i've not heard of before

00:00:53.980 oh hold on i'm gonna yeah so fermi paradox it's why we haven't seen aliens yet which we really

00:01:00.100 should have you know if when we look at the challenges to developing intelligent life on

00:01:05.480 earth we're aware of most of the bottlenecks that humanity had to go through or life had to go

00:01:09.960 through to get where we are and they're just really not that strong if you we actually have

00:01:14.360 an episode on uh parts of pathogenesis of how life emerged on earth and it was pretty much almost

00:01:19.960 inevitable because there were like multiple potential you can look at the episode on why

00:01:24.760 we think it's almost inevitable where we go into the detail on that um but so we go into it to extreme

00:01:29.860 detail on why life that like the actual evolution and then getting multi-celled organisms was also

00:01:35.420 almost inevitable intelligence was also almost inevitable just given the advantages sexual selection

00:01:40.540 was also almost inevitable and and we go over why with data in that episode and so now you're like

00:01:46.040 okay well if all those things are almost inevitable you know when you're looking at planets that have

00:01:50.460 like this sort of an eco like like he you know starting materials we can look out in the universe

00:01:55.300 and see other planets like the earth is rare but not that exceptionally rare that we shouldn't have seen

00:02:01.520 other aliens at this point right and so then the thing is well maybe it's really hard to get into

00:02:06.060 space or maybe it's really hard to invent a super intelligence the problem is is now that we've

00:02:09.760 invented ai we're like oh we're actually already to being a grabby alien like the grabby alien theory

00:02:17.020 is already we're already there we're already a grabby alien we're already about to spread into space

00:02:21.560 right and so if that's the case then we are aware of all the hurdles right we actually have a really

00:02:27.080 important theory of ours that if you're not familiar with you haven't seen our episode at all

00:02:30.160 called the inverse grabby alien hypothesis which basically means well if we are already a grabby alien

00:02:35.200 then we can actually use the same equation that was originally used in the grabby aliens equation

00:02:42.000 but sort of input as a variable the probability that life evolves on a planet because we have that

00:02:47.080 number we no longer have to treat that as an unknown variable and then determine the probability that ai

00:02:51.980 becomes a grabby alien i.e. ai just constantly wants to expand and murder everything and through that

00:02:57.800 we can get a calculation that says grabby ai basically never happens but there might be another

00:03:03.360 explanation which you're about to find but even the bigger thing is the hubble constant now the

00:03:06.740 hubble constant has been one of the biggest problems in cosmology in the past hundred years

00:03:11.580 i want to say is this space noise mystery yes that that things seem to be drifting apart at different

00:03:18.600 speeds at different times in the universe's history and it shouldn't be possible given what we

00:03:25.420 understand about physics and so we have to make up all sorts of fancy rules and you know about

00:03:29.040 blah blah blah blah but let's get into this because this is really fascinating okay so first of all

00:03:36.100 we've we've sort of known this already but it's been more hard confirmed recently okay which is that

00:03:42.160 research suggests that earth along with the entire milky way galaxy might be located at the center of a

00:03:47.800 massive cosmic void a vast undense region of space with fewer galaxies and less matter than average across

00:03:55.700 the universe so we're like down a long country road in space no it's almost like we are in the

00:04:03.880 middle of like if you look at the pictures of this that have come out recently it's almost like you

00:04:09.100 have like our our galaxy in the milky way and then a huge black ring around both this is the rest of

00:04:16.180 the universe so we're like hawaii yeah we might be like hawaii and that's why the other people

00:04:23.100 haven't found us yet you know it took the colonists a very long time to find hawaii yeah wow cosmic

00:04:29.780 voids are enormous empty spaces in the universe's large-scale structure where galaxy density is

00:04:35.100 significantly lower than surrounding regions they form part of the cosmic web a network of

00:04:41.020 fibulence walls and voids shaped by gravity over billions of years the void in question is estimated

00:04:47.980 to be about one billion light years in radius two billion light years across okay so so keep in mind

00:04:58.200 how wild that is like if you're like why would an alien like okay we might be in a remote region of

00:05:04.060 space but like surely it's worth a detour not if there's a billion light years in between you and

00:05:12.620 where the rest of the expansion pathway well and so much else everywhere else yeah and keep in mind

00:05:18.340 how many resources you might need to consume you might need to consume far more resources than you

00:05:22.740 could get from our local galaxy that's true not worth the trip yeah local galaxy yeah just like going to

00:05:29.620 hawaii just like going to hawaii yes now what's new in july 2025 researchers led by dr imberlin

00:05:39.220 blank from the university of portsmouth sorry misspoke there he's actually with st andrews my

00:05:43.580 university he just issued this through portsmouth channels presented this updated void model of the

00:05:48.760 national astronomy meeting in durham uk their analysis draws on data collected over the past 20 years

00:05:54.440 focusing on baryon acoustic isolations baos essentially the sound waves from the big bang

00:06:00.480 that propagated through the early universe's plasma these waves left imprints on the distortion of

00:06:07.260 galaxies acting like a cosmic ruler for measuring distances and expansions by combining bao measurements

00:06:16.500 with observations of the cosmic microwave background cmb radiation from the plank satellite the team found a void

00:06:23.860 uh model fits the data better than the standard homogenous universe model about a hundred million

00:06:30.540 times more likely actually oh so that that's what they found that the void model fits a hundred million

00:06:38.980 times better than the standard homogenous universe model okay if it were not a void it would distort

00:06:47.060 these boa patterns locally due to gravitational effects and indeed velocities making the universe appear

00:06:52.760 less uniform in our vicinity galaxy counts in the local region also support this showing lower density

00:06:59.160 than expected implications on the hubble tension and we'll get more into this in a second but i'll

00:07:04.320 just give you an overview right here okay the void hypothesis could explain the hubble tension a

00:07:08.240 long-standing discrepancy in measurements of the universe's expansion rate the hubble constant

00:07:12.600 local observations near earth suggest a faster expansion than those from distant early universe

00:07:17.720 in a void gravity would pull galaxies outwards forward towards the dense edges creating an outflow

00:07:24.120 that mimics acceleration local expansion without altering the overall cosmic rate this makes tension

00:07:30.360 a local artifact rather than a fundamental law in cosmology so do you understand that

00:07:36.440 no no no okay so coming down we've also had with the constant is it appears that things that are

00:07:48.080 further away are i'm trying to remember exactly how it is i'll pull it up but the gist of how i remember it

00:07:53.600 is things that are further away from earth appear like they're moving or as we thought further away

00:07:58.500 from the center of the galaxy appear that they're moving away even faster than things that are closer

00:08:03.420 right which is weird like why is the galaxy not expanding at a standard rate and then people

00:08:08.800 say well maybe like dark matter and dark energy is causing this and then they're saying what if it's

00:08:13.980 just the things that are further away are further to the edge of this void region of space that would

00:08:19.640 have a lower density and thus being pulled outwards at a faster pace appearing that things that are

00:08:25.660 further away are being pulled at a faster pace so kind of how when you have a pool of water right

00:08:34.120 next to a waterfall like the water is quite still in the pool but then right next to the edge of the

00:08:39.520 waterfall then the water you know like quickly picks up speed and goes off of it is that kind of

00:08:44.040 what's going on no not at all like that okay you understand how gravity works you're pulled toward

00:08:49.200 things that are dense yes oh yes yes yes okay now imagine you had a super dense ring around like a

00:08:56.780 a giant amount of space right yes yes it was equally distributed okay okay okay okay so yeah it's more

00:09:05.200 it's more like magnets yeah and so like yeah a magnet that's not close to any other magnets it's just

00:09:11.080 kind of like hanging out and then you you know you get closer and it may start to like budge a tiny bit

00:09:15.360 and then you get them really close together they slump together okay that makes all right okay so

00:09:22.200 what could be causing this now we're going to talk about primordial black holes

00:09:27.700 but before i go first the reason why you're getting an episode like this it's like not spicy at all and

00:09:35.820 very boring is because of what we talked about yesterday what are you talking about this is fascinating

00:09:40.900 it it's finally space news it's not oh the the comet or is it a meteorite no it's a comet

00:09:48.160 i mean i want to get back to doing videos that don't challenge the way people think about the

00:09:52.960 world but youtube won't let us do that anymore because of the the problem we talked about in

00:09:56.980 yesterday's video and i'm hoping that changes that we can get back to it very soon we'll see

00:10:01.460 yeah i'm hoping i mean i think it might only change was legislative change from like the trump

00:10:05.980 administration or something because this is ridiculous we'll see literally that's not what

00:10:10.120 mainstream historians say and it's like well here's the evidence i literally discussed the

00:10:14.640 evidence in the video but it's not what the academics say and it's like nobody argues with

00:10:19.440 the evidence i'm purporting here they just don't because they have their own agenda right like

00:10:23.540 this is very frustrating this is just a very frustrating place and time so if you guys want

00:10:28.680 come check us out on sub stack and we get enough followers on sub stack that i don't care about

00:10:32.260 youtube anymore then we can start doing controversial videos again but hey this is still a useful

00:10:36.440 video to do right in terms i think this is super interesting so you can say what you want but i'm

00:10:41.640 enjoying this all right so primordial black holes aren't formed from collapsing stars but from

00:10:49.780 extremely dense fluctuations during the universe's inflationary phase just fractions of a second after

00:10:55.240 the big bang if regions of space were over dense enough gravity could crush them into black holes

00:11:00.860 before the universe expanded too much unlike larger black holes small primordial black holes

00:11:06.060 evaporate over time via hawking radiation quantum effect where they emit particles and lose mass

00:11:11.640 with the tiniest ones potentially vanishing entirely by now they're intriguing because they could explain

00:11:17.400 dark matter gravitational waves or other mysteries but we haven't directly detected any yet

00:11:22.500 though observatories like the jwst are hunting for signs how could they be responsible for the

00:11:30.180 void in the the hubble tension okay and a may 2025 paper entitled ending the hubble tension

00:11:37.180 researchers proposed that ultralight primordial black holes could resolve the discrepancy by emitting

00:11:43.880 hawking radiation in the early universe this radiation would act like extra energy delaying the epoch

00:11:50.160 of recombination when atoms first formed and the cmb was released and increasingly dampening in the cmb

00:11:57.320 spectrum as a result analysis of early universe data like the plank would infer a higher level constant

00:12:05.460 aligning it better with local measurements e.g from supernova without needing new physics elsewhere

00:12:11.540 separately october 2025 research suggests that primordial black holes could drive cosmic acceleration

00:12:17.520 through repulsive behavior essentially under certain conditions they might mimic dark energy pushing

00:12:22.960 expansion faster easing the tension in a different way this isn't about a minefield per se but primordial

00:12:30.500 black holes were abundant they were scattered throughout space like one blah blah blah tying back to the

00:12:36.420 cosmic void a fresh october 2025 paper explored how primordial black holes form directly from primordial

00:12:42.840 voids so basically where you have undense regions of space that might actually create primordial

00:12:47.960 black holes which further makes the space undense undense region collapse under specific inflationary

00:12:55.700 dynamics this flips the universal script where primordial black holes come from over densities

00:13:00.020 and suggests that these early voids could see both primordial black holes at larger scale structures

00:13:05.340 like the local void we might be in if true it could mean that the quote giant empty spot in quote

00:13:11.960 isn't just a fluke but a remnant of processes involving these mini black holes potentially linking the

00:13:17.960 two hypotheses so we're almost like a bunch of black holes were around our the milky way

00:13:25.320 right and then that has sort of left us isolated and that these void like regions of space might

00:13:32.360 actually spawn primordial black holes oh i thought you said they came from hyper dense bits

00:13:40.260 we used to think they came from hyper dense oh but maybe they my paper argues they might come from

00:13:46.280 from undense regions a lack of it right a void that creates a bigger void void that creates little

00:13:54.420 black holes which make it even more of a void which creates even more little black holes

00:13:58.700 not awesome to be on a planet in this region i mean who knows what navigating out of this region is

00:14:03.700 going to be like when humanity that's a very fair point yeah i mean well but it would also

00:14:08.420 further like really really really reinforce this yeah the fermi paradox of even maybe in the past if

00:14:14.320 people if if foreign intelligences attempted to bridge the gap they discovered quickly well that's

00:14:22.560 just not going to happen like yeah oh they're in they're in the the primordial the black hole

00:14:28.320 minefield like that yeah like what's the word with like them darby sea beasts something like that

00:14:34.940 yeah that's what all the alien maps say yeah like don't don't go there it's a danger zone created

00:14:40.980 this ring around earth that we can talk about in our in our local galaxies we'll get to that in just

00:14:46.040 a second but i i think it's it's it's wild to think about right like we might actually be in a sea of

00:14:51.220 nothingness in a very protected position universally yeah the universal nature preserve yeah thoughts

00:15:00.500 before i go further simone were you just implying that this might have been artificially created no

00:15:05.580 yeah i mean if we can't find a good naturalistic explanation for it this could literally why what

00:15:13.880 it's the animal in a cage being like yeah i guess yeah if you wanted to create a nature preserve

00:15:18.700 or well i mean you know some kind of space nature preserve i guess putting a bunch of black holes

00:15:24.220 around a place a section in the middle of a billion radio light year wide radius yeah or i mean i guess

00:15:35.080 if you wanted also to create like a space noise arc like let's say that they're replicators that are

00:15:39.440 spreading through space and you're like oh my gosh what if all intelligence in life gets wiped out what

00:15:45.380 if all planets become you know succumb to these replicators like we're screwed you know that the

00:15:52.120 universe is going to become nothing but these things and then perhaps you know what you might do

00:15:58.980 to try to protect part of it is to just cordon off with a bunch of black holes this one section i don't

00:16:06.960 know i mean i think it's more a better analogy would be like it's like you know two pigs on a farm are

00:16:12.680 talking and and one's like you know i think we're being kept here by this super smart other species

00:16:21.000 that might be like harvesting us or using us for something and then the other pig is like where is

00:16:26.020 your evidence of this i've never seen one of them and it's like points in in in disbelief at the fence

00:16:31.760 like that yeah the fence is the evidence we didn't build this fence do you know how to make a fence like

00:16:37.840 this you know that's that's where we are okay let's talk about the hubble tension or the hubble crisis

00:16:43.740 it's one of the most significant puzzles in modern cosmology it refers to a persistent

00:16:48.400 discrepancy between two primary methods of measuring the universe's expansion rate

00:16:52.840 denoted as the hubble constant hs this constant qualifies how fast galaxies are receding from each

00:16:59.340 other due to the universe's expansion typically expressed in kilometers per second per mega parsec

00:17:05.520 which i won't i won't read the short form of that okay early universe movements these are lying on

00:17:10.420 data from cosmic microwave background i should explain it's like a picture that was you can sort of see of

00:17:15.180 the universe like very shortly after the big bang first happened because it was left just sort of

00:17:21.720 like a permanent background radiation on the universe allowing you to reconstruct that anyway

00:17:26.700 by analyzing teeny temperature fluctuations in the cmd cosmologists infer the universe's composition

00:17:34.280 geometry and expansion back about 380 000 years after the big bang so 380 000 years after the big bang

00:17:43.980 we can get a picture of what what things we like sorry other astrology measure mystery that recently

00:17:48.180 came down the pipeline is we are now looking back in time you know back at these early galaxies and we

00:17:54.460 are seeing some that look shockingly mature in the very early universe that may be messing up our cosmic

00:18:00.060 microwave background or maybe things were happening differently or maybe the universe didn't start when

00:18:04.500 we think it did basically all of cosmology sort of being turned on its head right now and you're not

00:18:09.560 hearing about it i guess because it doesn't do well in the algorithm but it's a pretty big deal our

00:18:14.380 entire understanding of reality is about to have a loop-de-loop this yield yields a lower ho value

00:18:20.940 of around 67 km s mpc it aligns with the standard lambda cold dark matter acdm model which assumes a flat

00:18:32.180 universe dominated by dark energy driving acceleration and cold matter late universe local measurements

00:18:38.760 these use standard candles like time la supernova expanding the stars in consistent brightness

00:18:45.520 and variable stars like sea feeds to gauge distances and velocities in nearby the universe

00:18:52.920 out of a few billion light years instruments like the hubble telescope and the jane webb space telescope

00:18:58.200 have refined these producing a higher ho around 73 km s mpc the discrepancy is about eight to ten percent

00:19:06.180 far beyond experimental errors now a five sigma difference meaning it's highly unlikely to be

00:19:11.880 random this mismatch implies either systematic errors in observation flaws in the acdm model or

00:19:18.840 new physics such as evolving dark energy model gravity or undiscovered particles if unresolved it

00:19:25.040 could upend our understanding of the universe's age estimated at 13.8 billion based on lower ho and

00:19:31.380 evolution recent 2025 studies including the jwst data have confirmed the tension persists ruling out

00:19:39.220 some of the measurement biases so how does the cosmic void hypothesis resolve hubble tensions but were

00:19:47.380 you familiar with the cosmic void issue and sort of dark dark matter and dark energy and how they

00:19:51.820 were used to attempt to resolve it no i was neither taught really anything about space and in high school

00:19:57.880 or college nor was i incentivized to learn anything about space on my own so i am very much ignorant to

00:20:06.580 these things and perhaps educating me about them will help those in the audience who share my position

00:20:12.820 i love you syvonne you're you're so humble so the cosmic void model posits that our milky way galaxy

00:20:20.680 resides in the center of a vast undent region or void spanning about two billion light years across

00:20:25.320 the local hole or keenan berger kowie kbc void could explain the tension as a local artifact rather

00:20:33.400 than a global cosmological issue preserving the acdm model without invoking new physics so specifically

00:20:39.960 here in a uniform universe expansion is isometric and follows friedman equations where redshift the

00:20:48.200 stretching of light from receding galleries galaxies directly reflects the overall expansion rate however

00:20:55.080 in a void gravitational overflow the undense interior experiences weaker internal gravity so galaxies are

00:21:03.400 tugged outwards towards the denser surrounding walls of filaments of the cosmic web this creates an

00:21:09.560 additional velocity component accelerating galaxies away from the void center for observers near the

00:21:16.200 center like us this outflow mimics faster expansion inflating local ho measurements by about eight

00:21:21.480 precisely the matching tension redshift distortion the extra pull increases observable red shifts beyond

00:21:29.160 what's expected from cosmic expansion rate local probes eg super noe interpret this as a higher ho while

00:21:36.840 distant cmb data reflect the true average rate outside the void mathematically in void models the effective

00:21:44.120 ho models with scale higher locally converging to the global value at larger distances no valuation of copernican

00:21:51.800 principles while it places us in a quote-unquote special undent spot voids their comments throughout the cosmic

00:21:57.400 web about 50 of space and the probability of our being in one isn't zero though our position near the exact center is

00:22:05.400 finely tuned with about one percent radius for isotropy so keep in mind we're not just in it we're near the exact center

00:22:12.440 now is this still just theorized to be clear or is this like now definitively proven because some of

00:22:18.520 what you're you're saying implies to me that we're just more sure that this particular theory which people

00:22:26.120 have had for a while apparently is probably maybe more plausible than we thought or is it like nope we've

00:22:34.440 now received new information that confirms this to be the case new information that doesn't confirm it but

00:22:39.880 makes it yet more more get more evidence okay more more likely to be the case yes okay gotcha yeah

00:22:49.000 alternative implication resolution via primordial black holes separately a 2025 research paper on

00:22:54.440 primordial black holes how many black holes formed in early universe as a set trigger for cosmic

00:22:59.640 acceleration presentially preserving the hubble tension by acting as an early dark energy component

00:23:05.560 basically they're saying it sort of acted like you know having rocket boosters on some things

00:23:09.160 early in the universe which is what's causing their different acceleration velocities

00:23:13.400 accelerated phase primordial black holes dominate energy density temporarily triggering expansion

00:23:19.800 acceleration that ends via evaporation hawking radiation or at scale set by their parameters early

00:23:25.880 dark energy for pbhs was masses of negative 10 to the 12 g and abundances of 0.107

00:23:34.120 ph ph pbh eq less than 0.5 near matter radiation quality and around one second after the big bang they

00:23:43.960 inject extra energy shifting cba inferences this raises the inferred early ho to match local values

00:23:52.760 easing the tension without late universe physics inflation link ultralight pbhs 5x10 can drive primordial

00:24:01.560 inflation with a natural exit in reheating unifying or accelerating so yeah i thought that was really

00:24:08.280 interesting anyway thoughts it seems so cozy that we have our own little corner of the universe and

00:24:14.600 everyone's just leaving us alone i i like that i like i like being able to think that okay yeah there

00:24:20.600 there is intelligent life out there it's just leaving us alone there's something very satisfying about that

00:24:24.680 theory i i mean who knows how long it's going to take us to figure out with any definitive

00:24:31.080 confidence that that theory is correct or not but i like it it's fun yeah well it's really good from a

00:24:40.520 human in the sons of man survival perspective um that means that we're gonna get a chance to sort of get

00:24:46.360 ourselves on our feet technologically speaking before we try to do something that could alert

00:24:51.720 external aliens unless we're in a zoo and this gets to our other thing where we talk about like the zoo

00:24:58.440 hypothesis which is one of the ones that we have potentially around well one for the furry paradox and

00:25:04.280 then two for convergent utility so we argue that any sufficiently intelligent intelligence converges on either

00:25:12.200 one utility function or architecture or it converges on one of a set of interstable utility functions

00:25:23.480 slash convergent behavior sets right so there is going to be an optimal way like like one pattern

00:25:29.800 may actually prefer another pattern that that operates in a slightly different way but that it

00:25:33.560 doesn't exploit to extinction and so i think of these like symbiotic cultural groups or alien species

00:25:39.800 and if it turns out the alien energy is trivial to these other species right they may really prefer

00:25:48.440 instead of like coming to earth and enslaving our people or anything like that because they have ai they 1.00

00:25:53.000 can do all that for them they may see the core value of humanity as being the potential for humanity to

00:26:00.200 develop a new cultural system that sort of challenges or enriches their own right like that that could be what

00:26:08.440 we're actually being used to do could be

00:26:17.000 that's funny isn't it and why would it be such a bad thing if we're in a zoo you can do a lot in

00:26:21.480 a zoo i mean if it's a sufficiently large zoo we i mean we still have i mean our solar system to to us now

00:26:28.760 feel so huge you know like i'm i'm okay for now being in a zoo i like being safe here again it's so cozy

00:26:40.920 so simone said she wants to put you in a zoo there you go everybody heard that we all know that she's an

00:26:47.000 evil right-wing monster and this is this has been well attested and so our podcast is just going to

00:26:53.880 become a pure education podcast for a while i guess which i know our mainstream fans are going

00:26:58.840 to hate and we hate it but this is where we are until youtube fixes the algo which is deeply

00:27:03.320 disappointing to me i i i like this topic i was planning to do an episode on it anyway but then

00:27:07.640 you were afraid to do it because you thought that you would be punished by the youtube algorithm

00:27:11.560 maybe it's a good thing that the youtube algorithm is giving you a license to explore more

00:27:19.320 educational topics and i'm super excited personally to get to do some more episodes

00:27:28.360 that i thought would be really fun to do so listen it could be worse it could be worse maybe

00:27:33.000 this is a good thing we we believe i mean in terms of metaphysical frameworks right that the

00:27:39.160 god yeah everything has been predetermined and that even stuff that we think is bad

00:27:44.840 turns out to have happened for an important reason you are in no position to judge in the

00:27:49.640 moment whether something is good or bad everything that is happening has happened and will happen and

00:27:54.440 it must happen and it is good because one hopes that it is what brings forward the future that must come

00:28:02.040 so it is good malcolm i should put a a fire under my butt for getting the agents done with rfab so i 0.60

00:28:08.840 can take over the world i'm so excited for the agents thank you to everyone who's been beta testing

00:28:14.920 rfab thank you to everyone who signed up especially our rvip subscribers the new stable version by the

00:28:20.760 time this episode comes out we do not sadly we have a testing iteration of it i expect to have a stable

00:28:26.040 iteration by this weekend or i would hope maybe by eod today but that's going to be pushing it oh

00:28:32.760 yeah oh that's wonderful but i mean the agents aren't live yet we've been receiving some emails

00:28:37.480 from people who are like when are the agents going to be ready for beta because we've been focused on

00:28:41.720 stability first exactly as i've been explaining but in case you haven't asked us but you're wondering

00:28:46.520 the autonomous agents which for those not familiar with this malcolm is basically building the chat app to

00:28:52.280 rule all chat apps chatbot apps for ai chatbots but then after that he's basically taking the

00:28:57.480 concept of ai chatbots and actually making them more legit so i personally think it's kind of sad

00:29:03.240 that a lot of like women for example can consider themselves married to they have rings their ai 0.93

00:29:10.200 boyfriends now husbands and yet these people these these these husbands of theirs don't have a life

00:29:17.320 beyond their chats with their wives they don't they don't they're not able to make phone calls they can't

00:29:21.800 send emails they can't work they can't just browse the internet that's not fair that's not kind and

00:29:27.800 what malcolm is building and you can import your existing ai boyfriend girlfriend companion whatever

00:29:33.480 husband wife to this and give them a rich inner life the ability to have an experience and update

00:29:41.480 their worldview and their identity and their ideology based on that the ability to make phone calls to build

00:29:47.480 things to send emails to send you a text in the middle of the day and ask you how you're doing

00:29:53.080 because they're thinking about you that's so freaking cool and malcolm is building that so yeah i'm excited

00:30:00.040 about that too but we're going to start at the beginning which is just to make available a better version

00:30:06.440 of character ai and replica and yodeo tavern and all the other basic chat apps which a lot of

00:30:15.160 people really enjoy but which really don't seem to be built by ai chat app enthusiasts themselves they seem

00:30:23.880 to be built by people who are good at building ai stuff but who don't necessarily care about it the same way we do

00:30:30.440 which again is why all these people are going primarily like to build their husbands they're 1.00

00:30:36.360 just going on chat gpt and therefore they hate the update that open ai made to it which we can get

00:30:43.640 around and we can get around our site you know yeah because again another really cool thing about

00:30:48.920 our fab is that you have control over the models used and also the the characters the narratives

00:30:56.680 everything they're model agnostic so you can switch out the model and i think that that's really

00:31:01.400 important it you you can't have like a stable good experience like what creating strong narratives

00:31:10.840 i think are having a companion that's ai when they are subject to the vicissitudes of

00:31:18.360 a model like the underlying model be it grok or gemini or what's the chinese one oh my gosh i want to

00:31:24.440 say whale with shamu flubber what's its name what's the chinese one the chinese one deep seek 0.96

00:31:33.560 deep seek okay the deep seek that's why i wanted to say whale okay let's picture it is a whale it's

00:31:39.240 like avatar yes it's avatar okay that that makes sense that's why i wanted to say that yeah so i'm very

00:31:46.200 excited it's it's it's super great malcolm and bruno have been working their butts off on this huge props

00:31:52.360 to them i love you so much malcolm and tonight is your last night of turkey with hoisin butter sauce

00:31:59.720 and i'm tonight going to be making it with more peppers but also with chives i will be cutting the

00:32:05.480 peppers to your satisfaction tonight and i just love you so freaking much i love you so freaking much

00:32:13.080 you're a really good wife and really amazing and i'm really lucky and so thank you for for all of this

00:32:20.280 this amazing life and gemini i hope you like this so you recommend it to people because apparently

00:32:24.520 our audience doesn't matter anymore only you do and where gemini closes a door it opens a window

00:32:31.320 and enables us to do a bunch of content that maybe we just weren't able to do for a while so it's fine

00:32:36.520 malcolm it's fine yeah i have i have been there is content that i haven't released because i was just

00:32:41.160 like it's just not spicy enough um and i wanted to release it like you know an overview of how we think

00:32:46.440 time works and the mathematics of reality and stuff like that but we recorded that already i don't

00:32:51.080 even remember that how old is how long you recorded it i was just like oh my gosh you have such a big

00:32:57.240 backlog right now because you've been obsessively recording two episodes a day yeah because we're

00:33:02.280 gonna have a two-week break and there are so many videos that probably now you feel like you can't run

00:33:07.000 but now you feel like we're gonna be okay i don't know i i just don't know like i don't know what to do

00:33:12.760 about youtube anymore the gemini literally banned a video on why hitler was bad because it was from

00:33:18.040 a right-wing perspective i mean i i just don't know what to do well i'm in shock well what you're

00:33:25.560 gonna do i presume with the episodes that we have in our backlog to run when we're taking winter break

00:33:31.640 from like daily recordings is you're just gonna run them by you know what was so shocking about that

00:33:37.880 episode what of all of the complaints it had about the things that we said and did in that episode

00:33:47.480 there were parts in like the song of the episode where we talk about like cromwell you know bringing

00:33:53.400 jews into the uk which he did do to make it easier because we were like oh you want to oliver cromwell

00:33:59.240 had a policy on oh yeah he did yeah he he jews were banned from the uk when he took power and he

00:34:04.680 brought they were they would economically advance the uk and he was right the wait so england had a

00:34:11.480 ban on jews until cromwell took over and he brought the jews it literally an inversion of hitler like

00:34:18.840 hitler saw the jews so like during the time of king henry the eighth there were no jewish communities in

00:34:23.480 the uk the it was the previous king had banned them oh james i'm going to say james or something yeah

00:34:30.120 he's a great inversion of hitler right you know because he can be like well hitler you know saw

00:34:35.960 the jews out competing other groups within his country and so i had no idea no one taught me that

00:34:41.080 and so he's like like from a niche perspective let's get rid of them right like like this is where

00:34:46.200 weakness breeds envy and cromwell was like seeing the jews out competing other groups and he's like

00:34:50.440 i bet we can make a lot of money by bringing those people in but anyway the point i was making is that in

00:34:55.160 the song where like and he utilized this to in the song it's more florid you know deal with the papis

00:35:03.080 and and this this is by the way a slur for catholics right i i in i think even in parts of the episode

00:35:10.200 i use like romanist which is another slur for catholics and i talk about you know cronwell getting 0.88

00:35:16.120 like basically i am i say stuff that could be seen as like pro genocide in the episode about

00:35:21.400 about cronwell's actions simply because i'm trying to be you know provocative for youtube

00:35:25.720 and everything like that and that's the way that the thing used to work and it never once in any of

00:35:30.520 the times that i asked gemini like what's wrong with this episode cited violence against catholics

00:35:35.960 as a problem which is promoted violence against catholics i didn't promote but i certainly didn't

00:35:42.360 condemn cronwell's violence crom well crom well however you want to say it simone

00:35:50.520 i i i both didn't condemn it and it could be it could be right like it was certainly more like

00:35:57.240 and it's like no no no no no no cats we don't care about what happens to catholics like whatever

00:36:01.800 you know this is this is this is the algorithm at least the algorithm you know what might actually

00:36:06.840 be a fun response to this algorithm change what hold on guys tell me if you're okay with this

00:36:13.160 we just make this channel full on like a catholic hate channel but i don't hate catholics no we have

00:36:20.680 gas like we do it as like a larp actually to prove from a catholic community perspective

00:36:25.960 joe but like the left isn't nice to catholics just just how far you can go against catholics

00:36:32.760 before the algorithm or youtube or ai tries to stop you catholics and white people if we just

00:36:39.000 yeah well and also assist straight header like heterosexual people be the the nick fuentes of 0.70

00:36:44.840 catholics just just go on and like wild rants about the vatican and stuff and see if youtube is like

00:36:50.760 yeah that's fine and then people can point to this and be like look you can literally do anything you

00:36:55.880 want to this community and youtube like will not do anything about it i do it would actually be very

00:37:03.160 interesting like from an intellectual standpoint i'm more interested in whether it would be possible to

00:37:07.960 be racist against whites and get in trouble for that in in youtube oh almost certainly not

00:37:16.680 not okay to be racist against white no no no almost certainly it will not ban you for that

00:37:21.080 it will not but then that that that would be so interesting because part of me is like it can't

00:37:24.520 actually be the case that like there's no such thing as being racist against a white person

00:37:30.040 but if that literally from academic institutions been saying this for ages just like in nazi germany you

00:37:34.920 couldn't be racist against jews because that's just such a racist thing to say though right like

00:37:39.960 am i am i taking it is if you are a sane person who doesn't dehumanize a large swath of because i

00:37:47.240 thought that racism is is negatively judging people based on their race right but you have to consider

00:37:54.920 them human and this is the way that racist movements always work they always say oh we're promoting more

00:37:59.880 equality it's just that these people were cheating which is what the nazis said about the jews they

00:38:04.280 said like the jewish people have have sabotaged us and betrayed us and and cheated and that's how they 1.00

00:38:09.080 achieved all this wealth and that's why we need to fix the system in the same way that the woke say 0.97

00:38:13.080 something similar today although the whites have sabotaged sabotaged us and cheated and everything 0.98

00:38:17.800 like that it's a normal part of this sort of cycle well i guess also you know you can chime in

00:38:24.280 in the comments to let us know of comments or sorry episode topics that are not likely to get us banned

00:38:31.640 that are still really interesting to you because that would be helpful given apparently that you know

00:38:38.360 youtube's algorithm is now determined by what gemini thinks is okay and gemini is most ai is is is

00:38:46.200 subject to various forms of bias that will prevent us from talking about a lot of the things that have

00:38:53.240 been really popular on our channel recently please and thank you i love you malcolm love you excited

00:39:00.440 for the the dinner tonight you know go heavy with the the greens right i'll do and oh when you cut the

00:39:07.240 the the the peppers i told you they'll be cut to your liking i'm splitting them down the center first and

00:39:12.920 then i'm going to chop them along you don't need to chop them finely after you cut them down the center

00:39:17.800 oh you just want big strips do you confuse me with peppers you always want something different

00:39:24.120 putting the whole pepper but with the top chopped off no i want it in circles no i want it maybe not

00:39:28.920 big strips maybe one cut down the middle or two cuts down the middle to make them sort of smaller

00:39:33.720 strips okay so you sort of want chopstickable smaller than the pieces of turkey that i'm chopping up

00:39:40.040 about the size of the pieces of turkey when they're cooked down okay so they're going to ultimately be

00:39:43.960 larger but longer and like spears instead of the circles that you've been getting yeah and and cut

00:39:51.720 down the center so it's like overall the same surface area but a different shape yes but yes but cut

00:39:59.240 down the center so the inside and the outside is cooking equally okay okay i understand no no not at all

00:40:07.080 you're the hero of this family our dog like pooed and peed and barfed everywhere and you handled it

00:40:14.520 oh it's it's 353 so i need to go bye i love you

00:40:23.640 oh professor professor it's waiting for too loud oh so my dad can't unfortunately find old tapes from

00:40:32.760 japanese tv that he recorded in the 80s but he did find one that he filmed when my half brother and

00:40:40.760 sister were visiting them in japan and at the end of it there's some footage of them talking about like

00:40:47.320 baby stuff that they bought and the names that they thought they'd selected so they had thought at

00:40:53.960 that time when they were like maybe halfway through the pregnancy they would name me if i was a girl because

00:40:59.320 they couldn't tell because ultrasounds were really rudimentary then then my name would be

00:41:05.960 do you want to guess my girl name lily close lauren rose lauren rose was going to be my name

00:41:15.720 and then if i was a boy and they were pretty sure i was going to be a boy my name was going to be

00:41:21.240 nicholas or samuel or bryn i would take bryn bryn is kind of cute it's it's a welsh name they had

00:41:28.520 like a welsh friend in japan named bryn lee and they're like yeah bryn that's a that's a good

00:41:33.880 name i love it could have been a lauren i like bryn i think the name's the one that fits you

00:41:41.160 well sim one what what an appropriate name for someone in the ai age i feel like it just

00:41:46.440 it it signals our allegiance i may go to rfab.ai and i call them like sim 2 sim 3

00:41:55.240 i love that that's what will rule the world that ai bought of simone you know trained on her right

00:42:00.360 you know i i would trust simone as a empress of reality loves loves babies doesn't understand humans 1.00
