I m in a manic phase, which is one of the most productive and productive periods of my life, and I m here to tell you about it. Also, I m wearing a new shirt, and it s pretty good.
00:03:47.480Did paperwork I've been putting off forever.
00:03:49.680I mean, I was just cranking through it.
00:03:51.480But one of the side effects is that on Twitter, by now you know my pattern.
00:03:59.520If somebody starts a damaging false rumor about me, I usually go nuclear on it until I can draw more attention to the correction than the original claim.
00:04:11.640So what I'm trying to do is, you know, light all the kindling I can, get everybody as mad as possible, provoke everybody, draw as much energy toward me.
00:04:21.900And so yesterday I was just responding to every troll.
00:04:25.900And, you know, I was swearing at them.
00:05:16.580I don't really get the depression part.
00:05:18.280You know, I certainly have days where, like, I'll have a week where I'm down, but not really the kind where you can't get out of bed.
00:05:29.500You know, nothing like a clinical depression.
00:05:32.000You know, you just have days that you're not ideal.
00:05:34.140Well, so if you had a choice of having, like, four weeks during the year where you're a little down, but the tradeoff of that is four weeks of mania, you would take the mania.
00:05:48.500It's a really good tradeoff in mental health, you know.
00:05:54.820My situation seems to be completely different than most people who are having some kind of mental, you know, let's say, mental, what did I say, variability?
00:06:09.300Let's call it variability because the difference between the highs and the lows.
00:06:13.460Generally, when you've got that much variability, you're not too happy about it.
00:06:17.960But I think in my case, it just makes other people unhappy.
00:06:21.720Like, you also feel invulnerable, like nothing gets to you.
00:06:26.720So people were worried that I was, you know, down yesterday.
00:06:30.720And the whole day I was thinking, down?
00:06:33.500I don't think I've had a finer day in months.
00:07:28.320I've discovered that I have bifurcated into two complete people in the mind of the public, which is, which is kind of fun and weird.
00:07:40.060So I always talk about the two movies on one screen, right?
00:07:44.080We're all watching the same screen, but some people are seeing the union is ending and other people are seeing the golden age and we don't agree on anything.
00:07:52.360But I think I finally realized why the Twitter users and the live stream users have completely different impressions of me.
00:08:03.360So on live stream, I have enough time to do the full context.
00:08:09.900So on live stream, if I say, you know, I'm on the same side as this argument, but I think the argument that's on my side is a little weak.
00:08:18.780So I want you to know I'm on the same side, but I'd like to see a stronger argument on my side.
00:08:25.680So that's what I would say on live stream.
00:08:28.600On Twitter, I would just say, what's wrong with the argument?
00:08:32.540And then, then I turn into the opposite person.
00:08:35.560So on, so on Locals, YouTube and Rumble, I'm, you know, Scott Adams, the reasonable, the reasonable voice that looks at all sides and tries to consider them fairly.
00:08:46.880And on Twitter, I'm Claude Adams, the guy who's indistinguishable from Dr. Fauci.
00:08:57.180That's what idiot attorney Barnes tweeted the other day or yesterday.
00:09:03.040He tweeted that, that I was basically Fauci.
00:09:05.760Now, in the other movie, in the other movie, people know that I'm the first person, the first public figure to call Fauci a liar in public.
00:11:22.880So I literally had an affirmation, which was not just a little bit impossible, but actually completely impossible.
00:11:30.860And I think you would agree that although my current voice has a, you know, it's good enough for a commercial application, which is what I'm doing now.
00:11:40.240So it's good enough for commercial use, but I'm still nasally and, you know, I still clear my throat and, you know, I'm blowing my nose on camera and every other damn thing.
00:11:49.880So I'm nowhere near, nowhere near perfect voice.
00:11:56.780And then yesterday, quiet, and then yesterday, something happened.
00:12:37.440Yesterday, there was an announcement by an AI company that they decided to use my voice as the main voice of their AI products.
00:12:47.880And the reason they did it is because they'd looked around at all the voices they could use, and they decided that my voice was pleasing enough and persuasive enough.
00:13:00.100And they used persuasion specifically.
00:13:02.320They thought my voice had a persuasive quality to it.
00:13:06.140And they're going to build it into their products.
00:13:11.700It won't be a recording of my voice, right?
00:13:14.600Anyway, the AI will do an impression of my voice, and it will do a really good one because it has lots of samples to pull from.
00:13:22.740And when the AI does an impression of my voice, it's going to remove all imperfections.
00:13:36.340There's actually a really good chance that my voice will become perfect and become, you know, I don't think it's going to be as big as Siri or, you know, Alexa.
00:13:52.800But my voice actually might get incorporated in AI, and it might be perfect because they would fix it to be so.
00:13:59.980Now, I've actually, if you've listened to any of my audio books that I recorded after I had the voice problem, you might say to yourself,
00:14:07.740well, Scott, you did a whole audio book, and this sounded pretty close to perfect to me.
00:14:13.420I didn't hear anything wrong at all, the entire book.
00:14:16.460But what you don't know is that it's very, I don't want to say very imperfect.
00:15:00.000Now, it turns out a few people had been, and I didn't know about it, through a surgery that only one person was doing, and it was still experimental.
00:15:59.480Yesterday, I told you that Snopes wasn't covering the fine people hoax.
00:16:02.860And if they had, it would have changed history.
00:16:05.380Because if they'd called it a hoax, the left would have believed it, presumably.
00:16:09.600And then Biden would not be able to run on it.
00:16:11.780And everything could have been different.
00:16:12.880But I did find out that instead of the fine people hoax, which they did seem to ignore, they instead fact-checked whether Trump was, quote, refusing to condemn white supremacy.
00:16:27.380So that was the angle they took on it.
00:16:30.360So they took the larger view that included the debates.
00:16:36.400So they used the debates as the point of focus to take it away from the fact that he immediately condemned the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville.
00:16:47.160Without prompting, he immediately, in his own way, immediately said it.
00:16:52.060As soon as he said, fine people, a few sentences later, he said, I'm not talking about the neo-Nazis.
00:16:56.740So that was the hoax that he was, but when he wasn't.
00:17:01.560So Snopes does this whole thing and they say, they actually said that whether or not this was true or false, that Trump had, quote, refused to condemn white supremacy, depends on your definition of refused.
00:19:56.640Now, do you think that Trump was, like, in the details of knowing if the Proud Boys had any bad elements or if they'd ever said anything he needed to condemn?
00:22:08.020If AI mimics humans, and humans are biased by, let's say, what they want to be true, you know, they want the new news to be compatible with what they already know is true, AI is going to do the same thing.
00:22:22.220If AI has a framework of what is true, and then you present it as some new headlines, it will take those headlines and try to figure out how it fits with what it already knows.
00:25:35.100I think I mentioned this, that Washington Post reported that the so-called Russian influence operation on Twitter was a big nothing.
00:25:45.400That it didn't have any impact at all.
00:25:47.180Now, I feel it's important to call out when I made a correct prediction because predicting stuff is largely, you know, part of my credibility or not.
00:26:01.400And I would like to claim that I am the number one and maybe only person when the Russian influence story first came out and when we saw the memes.
00:26:12.860So when we saw the memes and we knew the budget, I said loudly in the public, oh, it's obvious this had no impact.
00:28:50.640I've been saying since the beginning that every accusation of Russia hacking the DNC or Hillary's emails or whatever they're hacking, I've said that those are fake.
