00:01:40.000Over the past several days, there's been a lot of attention, at least in law enforcement, but for some reason, not the media, that there are hundreds or over 100 letters with white powder in them being sent to members of Congress.
00:01:55.000And I'm just going to, you know, I probably shouldn't say exactly where I was, but I was in Grand Rapids over the weekend.
00:02:01.000And I'm in Grand Rapids and I see the breaking news that the member of Congress in Grand Rapids was sent this letter with white powder.
00:02:10.000And a threat from the DSA that they are fomenting a civil war.
00:02:15.000A member of Congress, Democrat no less, said this is terrorism from the far left, from the DSA, and they call in the DSA to denounce this.
00:02:26.000Hundreds, or I believe it is believed there's over 100 or more of these letters in circulation.
00:02:31.00030 plus have been sent to varying members of Congress.
00:02:33.000And this is coming right at the time Data Republican said she has information, documents, and recordings of leftist individuals discussing their operational plan.
00:02:44.000To foment a civil war in this country.
00:02:46.000And I'm sitting here like, y'all made fun of me.
00:02:53.000So I, you know, I'm in the car with Du Bois on the way to the brand new studio here in DC.
00:02:57.000And I'm like, how come no one's talking about 36 letters with white powder being sent to all these members of Congress two weeks out from a midterm?
00:03:07.000I'm turning on the news, not hearing much about it, but it's in every major publication.
00:03:14.000At the same time, of course, I mentioned data Republicans got.
00:03:16.000New information pertaining to leftists fomenting a civil war.
00:03:20.000I mean, they're explicitly stating their plan is to riot in the United States, the likes of which you've never seen, to force Donald Trump to cross a red line, which they can use to delegitimize the Trump administration and the American government.
00:03:35.000At the same time, Donald Trump is, well, he's saying he's got nothing to do with the Ilhan Omar stuff.
00:03:49.000There's a viral post right now that purports to be DHS and USCIS documents, which state there is no record of Ilhan Omar's father being a naturalized citizen.
00:04:00.000One of these documents has Exhibit L on it.
00:04:03.000So it's purportedly grand jury materials.
00:04:05.000I don't know for sure, but these are all going massively viral.
00:04:10.000Suffice to say, it's a particularly contentious time.
00:04:12.000So we're going to talk about all of that, my friends, and more, because we do have updates on AI and all that stuff.
00:04:18.000And Nick Shirley receiving $10,000 from Donald Trump.
00:05:13.000I have a program that helps guys called Reignite.
00:05:17.000We help gentlemen between the ages of about 40, 45, and 65 guys sort of reintegrate themselves after a Bad divorce.
00:05:26.000And I'm also, hopefully, we can talk about this a little bit today.
00:05:30.000I've got my own AI engine now called the Rational Mail Engine.
00:05:34.000And I know recently you were just talking about AI and whether it's going to kill us all.
00:05:39.000You know, just real quick, because we're not going to get into it in big on the show, but George Alexopoulos, he's a good dude, he's a friend, but he's very, very, very anti AI.
00:05:47.000And in response to a clip from my interview with Jim Norton, he posted a crudely drawn participation trophy under it.
00:05:55.000The point was, it was about AI taking over and all these things, to which I responded with a vector image of a trophy.
00:06:05.000And invariably, I get a ton of responses from people who all say it's disgusting, it's ugly, you're missing the point, that's not real art.
00:06:14.000The image that I posted was made by a human.
00:08:02.000Or do you just want to know exactly where you stand?
00:08:04.000There's finally a way to find out without the guesswork.

00:09:24.000More than three dozen Congress members' offices sent envelopes containing white powder.
00:09:31.000Envelopes containing powder come weeks before the midterms as federal agents try to identify who is behind the campaign.
00:09:37.000Congresswoman Hillary Sholton in Grand Rapids, Michigan says, This is a press release.
00:09:43.000Today, Congresswoman Hillary Sholton received a threatening letter at her Grand Rapids, Michigan office that contained unidentified white powder.
00:09:49.000The letter, which claimed to be from the DSA, made a direct and specific reference to an impending civil war beginning after the election.
00:09:56.000The letter sent to Congresswoman Sholton is similar to those received at other congressional offices across the country.
00:10:02.000The DSA has not yet addressed the attacks.
00:10:03.000Well, as of this moment, they've denied them.
00:10:08.000She says, My first thoughts today are with my staff who opened the mail and the first responders at the scene.
00:11:19.000You know how many crazy people there are in this country?
00:11:21.000I'm not necessarily downplaying, but anyone can mail a bag of sugar to a congressman and say you're a member of such and such organization, right?
00:11:29.000And the concern then is how do we function as a country when one random crazy person can do one random crazy thing, throwing a wrench in the entire system of governance?
00:12:55.000Well, it should be evidence suggests a single individual Democratic socialist, angry with Democrats and Republicans, sent out these letters.
00:13:05.000Next, we can argue is it a false flag?
00:13:08.000Is there a right wing person who's trying to frame the left for some reason?
00:13:11.000But that, again, is not making an assumption.
00:13:22.000I mean, we've got a lot to break down on that, so I'm just referencing it and we'll cover that in the videos.
00:13:26.000But basically, it's a massive trove of conversations, documents, and recordings of DSA saying, We are going to start a civil war through mass chaos, riots, and forcing the president into a position where he delegitimizes himself.
00:13:39.000That's the Rules for Radicals, Saul Alinsky's book about how to overthrow tyranny you want to act so far, you want to step so close to the line that you get the government to crack down with a fascist attack.
00:13:51.000And then you can be like, See, they're fascists.
00:14:17.000It wasn't Belgium, it was one of them as well.
00:14:20.000And so it's kind of like I don't know if it's a meme still, but I just kept seeing like all these different videos, and it was like, this is Belgium.
00:14:54.000I mean, but if you're a DSA member, I don't know why you feel back into a corner right now because you're taking over the You know, the most powerful political party in the entire world, the Democrat Party, you're on the cusp of having basically complete control.
00:15:07.000I mean, after this midterms and with a lot of DSA candidates on the ballot, I guess it depends on how things go in Michigan with El Said.
00:15:14.000You know, if you're DSA, you're pretty happy right now insofar as the future of your sub movement within the Democrat Party is, I mean, the ceiling is sky high.
00:15:23.000I think we're going to see things like this as well as mass rioting, the likes of which we've not seen in maybe ever next year.
00:15:31.000Yeah, well, I would just say that, you know, talking about who it is, what it is, the information we have right now is DSA aligned.
00:15:39.000I would just, I wouldn't be shocked because if you look at Europe, you look at what they're doing to the American right already, and then you compare it to what the Democrats are saying, people like Slotkin, who isn't really DSA.
00:15:50.000Just a little while ago, her and Senator Kelly were telling the military to refuse Trump's orders, you know, committing treason.
00:15:57.000And then just a couple days ago, she comes out and she says, we're going to jail.
00:16:30.000And their followers are going to believe it.
00:16:31.000But the ones that are in the known that want it to happen are laughing.
00:16:34.000Because I think you can write off false flag.
00:16:35.000Because it's like, let's just, you know, I don't think the Trump administration would ever do anything like that.
00:16:40.000But let's just imagine that they were to conduct a false flag.
00:16:43.000It would be from an Iranian to be like, hey, I'm Mr., I'm a big Ayatollah fan.
00:16:46.000I'm mailing, you know, bombs to people.
00:16:48.000Like that's what it would look like if the Trump administration, if you think about what they need right now, the number one thing they need right now is support for this war.
00:16:54.000So if they were going to do something like that, you know, you would see it.
00:16:57.000So this, that doesn't really, I don't know, it doesn't really square with me if it were to be a false flag.
00:17:02.000I think it's likely that it's either a lone wolf who's crazy.
00:17:05.000Or, yeah, someone within the DSA line.
00:17:08.000The next question is let's say this is a singular, a single lone wolf leftist.
00:17:16.000What does it say that the DSA is inspiring people to do things like this?
00:17:19.000So, again, there's a concept called a standalone complex.
00:17:24.000It's when a group of people all do something similar.
00:17:28.000So it appears they're acting in concert, but in fact, they're each individual actions.
00:17:33.000So when it comes to, you know, like 2020 election is a good example.
00:17:38.000People were highlighting these weird videos of someone doing like vote counting or signature verification.
00:17:43.000And they're screaming, it's a conspiracy.
00:17:45.000Look, this person isn't actually reviewing the ballots on video.
00:17:58.000The risk is when the DSA is saying things like advocating for these things, and then a single individual goes and does it, you don't need a conspiracy.
00:18:07.000And also, I think it's important to say I don't care if the DSA disavows it.
00:18:11.000The fact that these people go on camera and they advocate for it, the fact that Hassan Piker has said things like, let the streets run red with the capitalist blood or whatever, when it comes to the public and when it comes to law, they'll all come out and say, don't look at me.
00:19:06.000So, why are we surprised when they're shipping?
00:19:09.000There are a variety of reasons why I think it's going to be balls to the wall next year.
00:19:14.000One of which is the release from Data Republican, the stuff from the DSA, and the fact that we're seeing a lot of this start picking up.
00:19:20.000But the other big factor, which, again, I'm putting a pin in it because we're talking about later, is artificial intelligence and the singularity fast approaching.
00:19:27.000I will just say this as we round out this segment and go to the Data Republican stuff.
00:19:31.000It is impossible for me to convey to you, listening at home, the danger and scale of what AI is about to do.
00:19:39.000Because you've never seen it before, you can't imagine it, and it does not evoke an emotion within you.
00:19:48.000If I were to say that there was a roving band of Antifa right now, live streaming themselves, massacring people, you'd immediately be like, Whoa, like that's crazy.
00:19:59.000And you'd go to look it up, you'd go on X, you'd look for videos.
00:20:02.000And if you saw those videos, you would probably be like, Holy crap, this is happening.
00:20:09.000If I were to say to you that The economy is on the verge of complete and total collapse at a speed by which people cannot comprehend.
00:20:25.000Big tech CEOs have been saying we need a UBI.
00:20:29.000We are going to have, whether we want it or not, they are going to be pushing to implement techno communism.
00:20:35.000And it's because I said this last week, and it's the last thing I'll say before we go to the next segment because we're going to come back to this AI stuff.
00:20:43.000Adobe, $95 billion company, overnight has no product anymore.
00:23:30.00099% of people breaking stuff in the streets believe they're doing it out of an organic uprising.
00:23:34.000They don't see that the police have been ordered to stand down.
00:23:37.000They don't see the legal services have already been arranged for them.
00:23:40.000They don't see that foundations are paying for their bonds.
00:23:43.000Similarly, here, governors aren't participating in a pact to destroy the Constitution.
00:23:48.000Governors simply have agreed to push back on the Insurrection Act.
00:23:52.000I call this shared epistemology in my book, Unelected.
00:23:56.000No kings might not agree to explicitly tear down the Constitution, but they nonetheless work with the DSA.
00:24:00.000So here's the story Data Republican says that she received a large trove of documents and recordings from Democrats and liberals talking about how they intend to invoke mass riots.
00:24:11.000To force Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act so that they can counter by saying Donald Trump is illegitimate and Democrat governors can band together, form some kind of network that says we are rejecting the illegal and unconstitutional actions of Donald Trump and the federal government, and use that to create, let's just say, a slice through the confidence in the American system.
00:24:37.000That is, people in blue states and liberals will, in their minds, instantly say Trump is no longer president.
00:24:43.000And then Democrats will start acting outside the confines of the Constitution.
00:25:41.000I'm saying I am hypothesizing for which requires testing and evidence, but I believe it is strongly possible that there are people who know AI is about to destroy the economy and wipe out.
00:31:18.000I think we are going to see Luddite riots, and it's not necessarily going to be framed that way.
00:31:23.000But if there's a guy who's 35 and he's got two young kids and he loses his job because Adobe is free now, let's say you're a software engineer getting $120,000 a year and Adobe comes out and says, our quarter one, we're down 37%.
00:31:36.000We project quarter two to be down another 42%, which is compounding.
00:32:11.000The train is slamming into a wall and everyone's getting ejected off of it.
00:32:14.000I do believe we're in an environment that's ripe for a revolt economically, but there's other forces that want that as well as a DSA, is that, of course, the Chinese would love to see the U.S. spiral in the Civil War.
00:32:25.000That means they would win the world over.
00:32:28.000I'm sure that Putin wouldn't be sad if it happened right now.
00:32:32.000So the Iranians, of course, and because of the open borders of 20 plus million people in the country, it could be anybody, man.
00:33:52.000So, meanwhile, there's people who do short form who get 100 million views and we get 500,000 on the long form show because people watch as it makes money.
00:34:00.000That's just generational and content strategy change.
00:34:03.000Imagine what happens next year when there's 700 long form podcasts every minute.
00:34:09.000Dude, I also think it's going to get, like you said, Opus had to break your video apart into a lot of videos and then put them back.
00:34:14.000Together, I think people are going to watch like 30 shorts at once and they're going to be able to start to understand them.
00:34:19.000This is what YouTube is implementing seasons.
00:34:22.000So you could put up a short and then create a playlist.
00:34:25.000So the shorts just play one after another and create de facto.
00:34:28.000Next level is you put five shorts on your screen at once and you watch them all at the same time.
00:34:34.000But again, the crux of the point, everything we're talking about is what happens to this country if 7% of the people, just seven, lose their jobs in a span of three months?
00:34:45.000Well, then look at the cascade effect that goes along with that, too.
00:34:48.000So, if you have that job loss right there, but then what businesses are going to be affected as a result of those job losses as well?
00:34:56.000So, I was just watching this video on the flight out here about colleges closing right now because there's a lack of men that are signing up to enrolling in college right now.
00:35:08.000It's the point where you've got colleges that have been around since the mid 1800s that are now closed.
00:35:13.000I mean, they've survived two world wars, even the Civil War in some of these cases, and they're basically Shuttering those colleges.
00:35:20.000And in some cases, they're shuttering them right now, or else they're going to wait till the end of the school year and then they're done.
00:35:32.000We're getting to the point where these universities are going to have like every degree on offer.
00:35:36.000See, that's so, so, but the narrative is this it's like, well, you know, guys are, you know, waking up and they don't want to, you know, sign up for this stuff because they don't want to go into massive student debt.
00:35:44.000And, you know, the old way of thinking about like, oh, I'm going to go to high school, I'm going to get a diploma, then I'm going to go to college, then I'm going to, and, Sort of that life track that you know, sort of this 20th century life track, and I think they're you hate to say it, but I think you're giving them a little bit too much credit because a lot of these guys, just because they're not enrolling into college, they're going into trade schools as well.
00:36:04.000So, if you look at trade schools, if you look at welders, you look at electricians and such, plumbing and that kind of stuff, you'll see more guys that are going into that right now because they don't want that debt.
00:36:12.000But what happens as the follow on effect is that once those businesses close, once those and the college is a business, once those close, then everything that was surrounding it, all of the businesses that That were around the university, all of the little coffee shops, all these little dorms and everything else, all of those closed too as a result of that as well.
00:36:33.000So, in some cases, to put this into context with the AI, if those jobs and those companies go belly up, then what happens to the other contracts that were dependent on that big ship going down to the bottom of the ocean?
00:36:48.000So, the point I bring up with 7% is to get us to the point where we are looking at governmental and economic collapse, you don't need everyone to lose their job.
00:36:58.000In fact, you only need a couple hundred thousand people in a short period of time to lose their jobs to see the DSA's numbers explode.
00:37:05.000Because right now they're very anti AI.
00:37:08.000What happens when a guy goes to college, gets a computer science degree, gets a job as a developer making 150K a year, and then his job is gone?
00:37:25.000Now, add on top, real quick the polls showing boomers are saying tax the young.
00:37:31.000And you've got a guy now who's in his 20s who just got his degree in computer science being told there's no jobs anymore, go work as a barista.
00:37:38.000And pay back your $50,000, which he can't.
00:37:41.000And we're going to tax you more to pay the retirement for the boomers.
00:37:45.000These people are going to be like, DSA, let's roll, baby.
00:37:48.000Throughout this whole conversation, the only thing I can think of is like immigration and job reshoring.
00:37:54.000The, you know, you're talking about like these small numbers.
00:38:50.000But to David's point, you know, not to go on, you know, we've heard it for two years now, but yeah, the mass deportations really do like solve a lot of these problems where you can clear out a lot of the labor on the low end.
00:39:03.000Like the only reason we view a lot of these jobs as undesirable is because they're occupied by people that are undesirable.
00:39:08.000And if you can turn these jobs into like what we call a menial labor or low skilled jobs, if you can like make those desirable again, if you can make those jobs.
00:39:17.000And a lot of that is like these employers have to treat these employees right because they're not just like wage slaves that are dependent on them for a visa.
00:39:24.000Like the problem is a lot of these people that like H 1B jobs, for example, that's a whole different thing.
00:39:28.000But a lot of these like illegal immigrants, they're working on farms and that sort of thing.
00:39:32.000The way they're treated by these ag companies, it's terrible.
00:39:35.000And if you get these people out of the way and they have to treat, they have to hire Americans, then Americans have rights and it's going to get better across the board.
00:40:41.000How do you imply status with like farming?
00:40:44.000Like, that's the thing is, we talk about this on Access Vegas every now and then.
00:40:46.000It's one thing to be a plumber and make like $300,000 a year as a plumber because you're like a journeyman plumber.
00:40:51.000You've been going, to be a plumber, you actually have to go through like four years of, Training to get that certification so you can be an efficient plumber.
00:40:58.000There's a lot of cramming you got to deal with.
00:41:00.000But there's a lot of technical stuff you have to know in, like, depending on the kind of plumbing you're doing.
00:41:05.000This commercial, there's all kinds of different kinds, right?
00:41:08.000But if you have that guy who's making $300,000 a year and he says, I'm a plumber, and you got another guy who says, Well, I'm in finance, how much you make?
00:41:34.000Certainly, but let's just say, for the country in general, let's.
00:41:38.000Like a white dude in Ohio is going to be like the biggest chud.
00:41:41.000Yeah, but race is not relevant to the issue because we factor that into averaging.
00:41:49.000Well, if you averaged out, blue collar is probably right on the middle because you have unions, you have a lot of like Hispanic and black labor.
00:45:04.000It'd probably last for two years, and then AI will figure out how to get us everything we need without having to pay for it.
00:45:09.000Now, let me say it like this If I have to pay $200 a month for Premium Pro, you know, Claude or whatever, I think AI just, GPT launched the $500 one.
00:45:19.000They are going to make $500 per month off of me, but I need that service to run my business.
00:45:25.000Let's say you're a person, a regular human, like a regular civilian, not a company, just a regular working class guy.
00:45:31.000You pay $20 for GPT, and it does simple things for you.
00:45:35.000How are they going to extract $20 that you gave it and give you the $20 you need to buy it again?
00:45:42.000No, Dario said 5% of their company wants to give back in the first year.
00:45:46.000So, my point is if an individual's entire source of income is from the AI company that he pays for, you see where this doesn't make sense?
00:45:58.000It maybe pays him more than he has to spend.
00:46:17.000If I have to give Tate $20 so that Tate can be taxed $5 to give back to me, how is the $5 I'm getting going to buy the $20 subscription from Tate?
00:46:25.000Well, because you are, you're anthropic in this situation because you're getting.
00:46:56.000What they're going to have to do is it's techno communism.
00:46:59.000No individual is going to say, I'm so passionate about being a grocery store worker, I'm going to wake up every day and go stock apples and face.
00:47:33.000And that means if you don't have to work and you're getting subsidized, why should I?
00:47:38.000And the question is if I'm a grocery store worker, Why should I have to work and you don't have to?
00:47:44.000I'll take the 5K per month or whatever UBI is and stop working instead of worrying about 10K per month and being a grocery store employee.
00:47:49.000It might be that the UBI recipients have to log into the system and become part of the technocracy, but the people working for cash can still make their money on the side and not have to opt into the spy tech.
00:48:01.000So there's an incentive to keep your rogue enterprises active.
00:48:31.000If each and every one of these people were told they would get paid money and could pursue being a musician, how many of them would accept?
00:49:46.000Everyone I know who plays guitar, if they were told, look, you'll get $10,000 to work for the insurance company, but we'll give you $5,000 just to play guitar, they'd be like, guitar, I will make it work.
00:50:15.000And like something like 4,000 went to men and like everything went to women, right?
00:50:20.000Now, I had to cover that when it first came out because that's kind of in my wheelhouse, right?
00:50:25.000But the thing is, is like if you look at where those jobs were coming from, where they originated from, they're from, you know, social services and health care, which are predominantly female run things.
00:50:36.000And, and, Their services that are hands on.
00:50:39.000There's not something that AI is going to necessarily report.
00:51:18.000We have so many old people in this country.
00:51:20.000That is why there's so many jobs getting added.
00:51:22.000Like a lot of these weren't real jobs because if you look at the economy broadly, it's a no fire, no hire kind of Mexican standoff right now.
00:51:28.000But you saw massive gains in like healthcare, especially like later life healthcare.
00:51:32.000That just shows you like we're about to have a pot, like a massive population drop because all these people are about to die.
00:51:39.000Imagine you're a Davos elite and you're sitting there at your table, shaped like some kind of weird A. In a small room in DC with your elites in your big media studio.
00:51:50.000And you're saying, okay, we've got too many old people.
00:51:55.000We can't fund Social Security anymore.
00:51:57.000The old people will lose it if we take it from them.
00:51:59.000And any of these people control various mid level businesses.
00:52:03.000We've got AI about to nuke what remains of the job market for the younger generation and for middle aged individuals.
00:52:37.000So, next summer, the DSA is fomenting a mass amount of riots to force Donald Trump over a red line.
00:52:44.000So, the Democrat governors, so maybe it's going to be a World War III, a civil war, and maybe the elites intentionally have done these things because they're like, We want the crisis.
00:52:55.000We want a blameless crisis for each of our sides.
00:52:57.000And all they got to do is ramp it up in other countries to make it seem like, oh, now it's our turn.
00:53:03.000Yeah, I don't think that's going to happen, though, because Putin, Xi Jinping, and Trump are very tight right now.
00:53:10.000They're talking about having a summit, the three of them.
00:53:12.000I think they see that if there's a revolution one place, there's going to be a revolution everywhere.
00:53:16.000And it's going to be like a tribalist warfare until someone seizes control of the data centers and then makes everyone slaves to some new chaotic organization.
00:53:45.000The problem is, China may be what they're doing.
00:53:47.000The problem with China is that so much of their economic system is wound up in the American economy that if there are mass protests in America, I saw a tweet about this the other day, which I thought was funny.
00:53:58.000If there's a lot of protests in America and our system becomes destabilized, She would send soldiers to America to stabilize the system because his system is totally reliant on us.
00:54:08.000And I think that there's like a lot of truth to that.
00:54:11.000The global economy is so interwounded in our treasury and our yields and our stocks that if we fall, everything else goes to pure chaos.
00:54:20.000So, what you were saying about like the summit, I haven't seen that, but if that's true, I wouldn't be surprised.
00:54:25.000Great men are cut from the same cloth.
00:55:32.000Yeah, but, you know, South Africa is a great example because people will, like, Their standard of living, if it declines slow enough, they just get used to it.
00:55:42.000And America still has a lot of stuff to distract you that doesn't require that much money.
00:56:10.000Portion of the population and the top portion of the population will be fine in this scenario.
00:56:14.000What you really need is the taxpayers in the middle, the people that you know have an actual job that aren't completely relying upon the government to lose out, and then everybody loses out.
00:56:24.000And then it's just how do they even organize?
00:56:26.000Because the people that don't, the people that can riot, social contagion thing, right?
00:56:30.000Because the people that can riot in this country are already living off the government anyway.
00:56:33.000So, like, you know, let's cut the brat, the urban people, right?
00:56:36.000The inner city people, they're already living off of welfare, anyways.
00:56:38.000They're not going to riot, but the people that would riot in a mass job layoff situation.
00:56:43.000All live in the suburbs where they can like take and get the park.
00:56:45.000Then you got a park, and then you got oh, it's a whole hassle.
00:56:48.000The thing about the economy taking an 8% hit is that when you have the largest economy, that's the most people.
00:56:54.000And like you were saying earlier, 100,000 people, too.
00:56:56.000You weren't talking percentages of the population.
00:56:58.000You were talking about a set number of humans.
00:57:01.000If they get enraged, 200,000 people could.
00:57:03.000But so there's that downside of America being the best economy.
00:57:43.000And Britain, they just kind of blow off steam every like three to six months.
00:57:46.000There'll be something in the news and everyone goes and riots and like nothing ever really happens.
00:57:49.000And I could see that situation in the United States where you'd have a lot of people that are just like barely making it, which is where we're heading to.
00:57:55.000But it's like 8% to 10% of the population and the economy just slowly draws down.
00:57:59.000The key is like one of two things has to happen for like that to.
00:58:04.000Save itself as immigration has to stop and then the population needs to drop.
00:58:19.000I think the DSA, quite literally, might come in and just say, We're going to do one of two things.
00:58:24.000They're either going to just completely blow up the AI sector or they're going to say, Oh, now we're in power.
00:58:28.000Let's deploy the Panopticon because we're in charge now.
00:58:30.000And they're going to totally take the leash off of Anthropic and all.
00:58:33.000Because I think what's happening is these Anthropic and all that are coming out and they're saying, Oh my gosh, like that we just created God.
00:59:38.000I would argue that, again, This all seems either an emergent phenomenon that happens because one thing leads to another, made emerging around a time when people have lost purpose.
00:59:50.000AI eliminates purpose for people and they go, suicide booth, like Futurama.
00:59:54.000Walk in, throw in a quarter, and gone.
00:59:57.000It's sad to think that AI would defeat your purpose because, as far as I know, AI augments your purpose.
01:00:02.000Every aspect of it that I've seen, it augments your purpose.
01:00:05.000If you know how to use it or if you're willing to use it and you're open to being wrong and to letting go of your ability to draw, like AI serves your purpose.
01:00:12.000My purpose is to provide for my family.
01:00:20.000An individual who goes and works in a coal mine, his purpose is not being a coal miner, it's making sure there's food on the table for his family.
01:00:29.000Eliminate his job, and he goes, I don't know how to provide for my family.
01:00:33.000And telling him, figure out AI is a meaningless statement.
01:00:48.000Why, when they told coal miners to learn to code, it resulted in a major political backlash because what you are saying does not make sense.
01:00:55.000Oh, if you don't think AI is an educational tool that every human being can use, you're missing it.
01:00:59.000You're not going to go to a 50 year old man who spent 30 years in an industry and say, change everything about your life and compete with a 20 year old.
01:01:08.000I'm saying everything about your life is going to change.
01:01:30.000I'm taking the train a lot now, so I get to kind of just peer at what people are up to because I've just really noticed.
01:01:34.000You're like, people are just chatting with chat.
01:01:36.000They're just like, oh, I feel sad today.
01:01:40.000I would ballpark 80% of people are not using it for that.
01:01:45.000I'm personally involved in that because I created the Irrational Mail Engine, which is my own LLM for, well, really, it's for everybody, but it's for the nanosphere kind of data, like a database kind of thing.
01:01:56.000And my devs send me weekly updates, if not bi weekly updates, of the conversations that these guys are having.
01:02:16.000And so the conversation kind of morphs from what they originally came to the engine for in the first place.
01:02:21.000And then now suddenly you're having this almost semi human conversation that's going on between you and the AI itself.
01:02:30.000But more to your point, when you're talking about what your purpose is versus like what your purpose is to take care of your family, right?
01:02:38.000There's a, I guess it's a sociological, psychological, you know, principle concept where we're talking about there's proximate outcome and then there's ultimate outcome.
01:02:48.000The ultimate outcome is I take care of my family.
01:02:52.000I have, you know, I have a duty to further, you know, for their survival and their benefit.
01:02:56.000The proximate outcome is what do I do to facilitate that ultimate outcome, right?
01:03:01.000So, what AI does is it removes the proximate outcome of what you're doing at that time, but you still have the ultimate outcome, which is, I've got to take care of my family.
01:03:11.000You take away that, you're taking away purpose, especially from guys, because men are problem solvers.
01:03:16.000Men are the, we need frontiers to explore.
01:04:03.000Ultimately, that's what ends up coming out at the end of that.
01:04:06.000But if you think of all the things that go into being a just semi passable good guitar player, you don't necessarily have to know how to read music or you always got tablature and stuff like that as well.
01:04:18.000But the thing is, there's so many skills that are developed along the way.
01:04:22.000But if you pull away that purpose by using AI, by using the cheat code, by using the calculator instead of actually learning how to do math, then you're constantly relying on that calculator.
01:04:34.000Now, is it you that's creating or is it the calculator that's creating?
01:04:37.000You know, when I first started playing music, my mom's like, you got to learn Stairway, you got to learn Zeppelin, like all this classic rock and like real good guitaring.
01:04:47.000I listened to Blink 182, and I'm like, you know, the riffs that Tom DeLong writes are nowhere close in complexity to like the classic rock stuff.
01:04:56.000And so you mentioned like you wanted to make badass music.
01:04:59.000To be honest, when I was a kid, I didn't think it was possible for me to make badass music.
01:05:02.000I thought whatever it is that I wrote was always worse than what the pros were doing.
01:05:07.000And then when I was like 14, listening to Blink 182, and then listening to Zeppelin, I was like, wow, Tom just was like, I don't care what you think.
01:05:19.000And then I started listening to some of these indie rock bands, and the piano that they would write would just be like two keys back and forth, but people loved it.
01:05:27.000Or how about that Kanye song everyone loves, which is a bong, bong before it starts?
01:05:31.000And then I was like, you don't actually have to be super good.
01:05:34.000You have to make sounds that people like.
01:05:36.000And that's when I realized a 10 year old can write a blockbuster hit song.
01:05:42.000Because it's a question of does the song sound good, not are you good enough to make anything?
01:05:47.000We're going to look at with AI right now.
01:05:50.000The challenge, in my opinion, is not your purpose is gone because you lack the complexity and the drive and the development.
01:05:57.000The issue is that you can't attach status to these songs.
01:06:00.000An individual wrote a song, everyone loved it, and you felt good.
01:06:03.000You were like, I did something everyone loves.
01:06:06.000You will make AI generated songs, and people will follow your account because you pick the best songs.
01:06:11.000But you're going to have to be picking songs like 50,000 songs.
01:06:14.000And what is that going to mean in a sea of a random guy from India who can do the same thing?
01:06:20.000You don't even have to pick the songs because all you have to do is have AI algorithmically figure out what has been successful in the past and what has the highest likelihood of being a hit song.
01:06:31.000And because of those particular rhythms and that particular genre, whatever it is, if you go with this, the odds are 86% of the time, this is going to hit.
01:06:40.000And 26% of the time, this ain't going to hit.
01:06:42.000But the problem then is the AI does this now and it plateaus.
01:06:46.000If you AI generate a song, they tend to be C. They're not.
01:06:51.000They rarely crank out the gold banger.
01:06:56.000Now, gold bangers are new a lot of times.
01:06:58.000You will be a guy with a million followers on Suno because all of the songs that you select, every day you generate 10,000 songs and you listen to all of them and then choose the ones that are gold.
01:07:26.000Bro, prompt engineering is the wave of that's a job career path.
01:07:29.000That is why a lot of part why I tell people start using AI like it's your life depends on it.
01:07:33.000Because when you know how to prompt an AI, you can get what you need out of it in one prompt where other people might spend 15 hours trying to figure something out.
01:07:42.000You need to know how to ask it, but this is also drive it.
01:07:45.000It's just going to go away too because the AI, the LLMs are just going to get better at deciphering what the users mean.
01:08:19.000Do you think, and I've heard this discussed before, do you think that there will be a greater demand for AI?
01:08:25.000Human beings putting together a band and actually going and doing live music in a live venue, and people want to see something live in real time.
01:08:51.000I have them because they're fun collectibles and sometimes we want to play a record, but for the most part, my music is just going to be Spotify.
01:08:56.000Well, I just went and saw Metallica at the Sphere back in October 3rd, right?
01:09:02.000And I will tell you right now, they're selling out.
01:09:04.000And that whole thing, I mean, it is bloody expensive to go see Metallica there, but there's still a.
01:12:09.000When you're a young person and there's no instant communication and you're hearing the rumors and the sputterings of a Woodstock, you know, and you're like, oh man, we got to be there.
01:12:42.000So if you can make these concerts super cheap, because you're going to get inundated with digital copies of Shane Gillis, and then it's going to be so life changingly exhilarating to see him in person.
01:12:50.000Here's what's going to happen there's not going to be another Shane Gillis because AI, people are going to take his stand up, turn him into a busty woman.
01:12:58.000I'm not joking there, this is already happening.
01:13:01.000On Instagram right now, you know what's really fascinating?
01:13:04.000It is a viral trend to clone our show.
01:13:44.000It's literally just videos of him making pizza, and I love him.
01:13:47.000He made a video where it's like literally him and Papa John's rolling the dough, and like someone took his video, loaded it into AI, and turned him into an Italian guy, stole it, and got like 20,000 likes.
01:14:00.000How will there be a Shane Gillis when you don't know where the joke came from?
01:14:04.000And you're like, man, who's that crazy guy with the long neck and the handlebar mustache?
01:14:09.000And all the jokes are just ripped off from Shane Gillis.
01:14:12.000I still think people have a sense of like what's real and what's not.
01:14:15.000I mean, I think what's happening, part of the reason you're not seeing massive stadiums necessarily sell out anymore.
01:14:21.000Part of that is just because Zoomers don't have much disposable income.
01:14:23.000But secondarily, I think what's going on is it's more democratized.
01:14:26.000Like, for example, my cousin's a recording artist.
01:14:28.000He's younger than me, and his audience is all people, probably the oldest person there's 30.
01:14:34.000And he's on like a Tuesday night and he's selling out.
01:14:37.000So I think what's happening, and he was telling me a lot of these clubs now and event spaces, they have a show every night and they're all selling out.
01:14:45.000And the majority of these people's audiences are coming through TikTok, they're coming through Instagram Reels and that sort of thing.
01:14:49.000So I think you're seeing with Zoomers just a massive democratization of.
01:15:11.000There was, I mentioned this earlier in the show because George Alexopoulos is like, he's a graphic artist, he makes comics, and he's really, really anti AI.
01:15:42.000I mean, I know it's a bit antiquated now, but you see in Japan where they have like the VTubers, what came before, I don't know what they're called, but the girl with the blue hair.
01:15:51.000It's like on a screen and you had people that were into that.
01:15:54.000But Japan still is a very healthy live audience scene or whatever you want to call it in person.
01:15:59.000So I think you're just going to see both.
01:16:00.000You'll see these people that go to the VTubers or the AI artists or whatever, and that will be a thing.
01:16:10.000I understand that the cartridge and the clip in the magazine have made it so that any young man can be a soldier in a war without training.
01:16:22.000But don't you think governments will still want samurai?
01:16:25.000Don't you think they'll want to put samurai on the front lines and people will want to see the samurai and say, this is going to help us win a war?
01:16:31.000Well, yeah, I mean, as far as the morale effect of it, you mean like.
01:16:34.000What I'm suggesting is the samurai died when the rifle was introduced to Japan.
01:16:40.000So the technological advancement makes the military wonders of the past obsolete because now you've got the English longbow and nobody wears armor anymore because it just pierces right through it.
01:17:14.000And all of a sudden, the samurai were worthless.
01:17:16.000You did not need to train someone from birth to wield the gun.
01:17:18.000Heck, you could take an 18 year old fresh out of high school, throw him through three months, hand him a machine gun, and say, Point and pull the trigger.
01:17:24.000My point is, the samurai ceased to have any social status and power.
01:17:28.000Yeah, well, that's kind of a point I've been making for a while.
01:17:32.000When I have guys who will come up to me and say, Rollo, when is the pendulum going to swing back to the 1950s when men were men and women were women and we all knew our roles?
01:17:41.000And when do you think the Pendulum is, it's always the pendulum analogy.
01:17:50.000For instance, maybe to your point, if you watch any of the World War I kind of documentaries or you look at even just even the movies of that time, the kids who went and fought in that war thought it was going to be over in like, you know, a month or so, but they had all these dreams of getting on, you know, horseback and riding into, you know, into battle.
01:18:12.000They had all this sort of this glory and stuff until.
01:18:14.000They got to the battle of, I think it was the battle of the sign, and they met the first.50 caliber machine gun.
01:18:18.000And it mowed them down like industrial, in an industrial scale to the point where you're losing literally millions of people in a world war that had never seen that kind of industrialized technology put to use for killing other people.
01:18:37.000So when people say, well, when's the pendulum going to swing back?
01:18:41.000Well, first of all, you can't back yourself into the future.
01:18:43.000And then, second of all, all you got to do is, I mean, I'm seeing this on popular.
01:18:48.000TV shows right now where they're already using drones to essentially assassinate and kill people, like on an industrial scale.
01:18:55.000And it's no longer about you're sneaking around, you're a sniper, you're, you know, you don't even need people anymore.
01:19:00.000I mean, we can see in the, you know, in some of the war footage from the Ukraine and Russia right now, we see that going on.
01:19:06.000But did you guys ever see, what was it?
01:19:11.000Was it Metalhead from Black Mirror when it was the drone dog that was going around and hunting after?
01:19:16.000And the reason why that, and this was like well before its time, right?
01:19:19.000The reason that was so damn scary was because it could happen.
01:20:23.000Yeah, but you're not getting it all, man.
01:20:25.000The samurai had their social status ripped from them, as any guy could have a rifle and be a soldier.
01:20:31.000And you can complain about it all you want, and you'll be an old man in a rocking chair complaining, and everyone will say, Yeah, quite a lot.
01:20:59.000Look at what it takes a hand eye coordination and all this stuff that you would have to have some kind of you gotta have to love that art of archery so much.
01:21:08.000It's exactly is it functional in any capacity?
01:21:11.000No, other than sporting, maybe, right?
01:21:13.000We're gonna see with art because right now, a lot of people who have no business probably making money doing art.
01:21:18.000You know, they're snapping at the resin art all day.
01:21:20.000That's not what I think is gonna happen is a great refinement for like truly to be a great artist and be able to make money off of that in an environment where you're competing with machines.
01:21:28.000Like, you know, back in the day, anyone could be an archer.
01:22:45.000But a bullshit, a little show, a little show.
01:22:47.000But we'll use that imagery on the side of a plane or we'll use that imagery somewhere because we had this old school.
01:22:54.000I'm not saying it's functional now, but I'm just saying you have that kind of idealized notion of what a samurai is, what a knight is.
01:23:01.000We have horseback riding and we have these competitions and people still like riding horses, but it used to be the pinnacle of.
01:23:08.000The Blue Angels to everyone gather around and watch the knights on the horses march through the road and main, you know, the center of town.
01:23:22.000I'm not denying that it's going to lose its status as top shelf, but what we are saying is there's going to be a smaller class, but they will still possess a lot of stuff.
01:23:30.000And for fun reasons, people like, you know, I'm using an old 1800s butter churner to make butter for my meals.
01:24:27.000You just copy and paste that onto what we have in a post capitalist society.
01:24:32.000And if we are able to do that well, if we're able to beat out the effective altruists and the other social Marxists, then we could return to something where civic virtue is actually idolized again.
01:25:00.000The problem is, is once you have, like, we tend to, especially human beings in general, but we tend to have these ethical sort of conundrums that we all want to discuss amongst ourselves.
01:25:11.000Like, I was watching this, this, this, it was a documentary.
01:25:16.000I don't think it's still around, but it was called, like, Unnatural Selection.
01:25:18.000And it went into detail about, like, mRNA and, like, designer babies and, you know, genetic, like, re engineering and stuff like that.
01:25:26.000And they were going to, you know, case by case, there was one where they were saying, should we make all these mosquitoes, you know, impotent so that we don't have malaria in Africa anymore?
01:25:36.000Should we wipe out this series of, you know, these mice that are in Martha's vineyards?
01:25:40.000And so we're all getting together and we're going, is it ethical for us to do this?
01:25:43.000And meanwhile, you know what's going on?
01:25:45.000China's already created the first design of baby while we're still, you know, wringing our hands over whether or not we're going to eliminate rats in New Zealand.
01:26:27.000I mean, I think tomorrow, very easily, the same way that Democrat mayors in New York can flip a switch and fix crime by arresting 10% of the population.
01:26:34.000YouTube could fix the IP problem with those three minute television show clips by flipping a switch and banning all of these automatic.
01:27:07.000It's probably better off that everything's open source.
01:27:08.000And I agree with you that morality might be the wave of the future.
01:27:11.000You were actually saying morality and the human like ethics could be the currency of the future because I think these computers, these AIs are going to look at us and be like, which one amongst them is the best?
01:27:22.000We trust him because he's the most virtuous.
01:27:24.000Well, and that's why a lot of these tech guys, and that's not necessarily what we're advocating for directly, but a lot of these tech guys do hint at like feudalism sort of being the future.
01:27:32.000That is in many ways just a return to what like pre capitalist society was like.
01:27:36.000And there are like, there is a way in which intelligent people.
01:27:44.000I do think we're going to have a techno feudalist system.
01:27:48.000There's going to be elements of communism only because we're going to see a requirement that people who have nothing to do be fed.
01:27:55.000But the reason why I say sort of feudalist system is that there's going to be independent individuals, not party affiliated, who have access.
01:28:12.000Well, unfortunately, I'm already in with millions of followers, meaning the YouTube algorithm is going to promote me to way more people than you could ever reach.
01:28:20.000You are now competing with all of humanity.
01:28:23.000Every single person can AI generate videos and put them online.
01:28:27.000Now, to be fair, we've complained about it because these slop videos do drain from the total sponsorship pool.
01:28:32.000However, when I make a video and put it up, and you make a video and put it up, mine goes to 300,000 people, yours goes to 10.
01:28:43.000As long as I keep going, you will never get in this system.
01:28:47.000So now that we're here with a total democratization of content production, Who is going to be able to get in this space?
01:28:55.000Well, it might be the ethical because if you're very, very famous and you're like, I'm the best, everyone else is nowhere, no one's ever gonna touch me, the AI might be like, that guy's a psycho, devalue his videos, upload the other ones that aren't complaining, that are good.
01:29:15.000What I am talking about is making a video about cookie recipes.
01:29:19.000So if 10 people are in a room and they all say, AI, make a video explaining how to make chocolate chip cookies, who is going to make a million dollars?
01:29:26.000The guy who is already with a million followers.
01:29:30.000And now you're like, I'm going to make the best cookie recipe video in the world by hand.
01:29:52.000People that have a lot of subscribers have a head start, but I don't think it's going to be guys at YouTube deciding what videos get promoted.
01:30:18.000The point I am saying is that if everybody can use AI to make the algorithmically perfect cookie recipe video, everyone is running at the same rate no matter what they do.
01:30:29.000So no one can pull ahead of anybody else.
01:30:31.000And the guy who's already 10 meters ahead is going to hit the finish line.
01:30:37.000And there is like one minor thing, which is that YouTube still has engineers that need to justify their existence.
01:30:43.000So they make all of these updates all the time that change the algorithm, this new hype feature that they have.
01:30:49.000You know, the upshot for people who want to get in the game, who don't already have that base, is that if they are monitoring the situation of the YouTube AI, like updates in the way that the algorithm is working, they can seize that and maybe slingshot ahead.
01:31:48.000Prior to the show, we were talking about how if you create a title for a video, the more vague, the more ambiguous it is, the better it does.
01:31:57.000Or we were saying that people don't want to be educated now.
01:32:01.000They don't want to learn how to make a chocolate chip cookie.
01:32:28.000Then, do we not play to the lowest common denominator, first of all?
01:32:32.000And then, second of all, let's just say for sake of argument that you've done a whole bunch of cringe videos making a chocolate chip cookie, and people are like, not another chocolate chip cookie video.
01:32:41.000It doesn't matter if you're 10 meters ahead or five meters ahead.
01:32:44.000If nobody wants to watch that damn video because it doesn't inspire enough cringe in them or some sort of emotional grab or some sort of like, I don't know, whatever, you know, whatever base human emotion you can appeal to.
01:32:56.000So you launch a new channel and you go and check it out.
01:32:58.000You tell the AI, scan all of the channels that are top trending today and what kind of content they're making, and then write me the script for that so you can generate that video for me and then upload it to a new channel that'll cross promote and everybody will say, I like this video and I'm winning again.
01:33:11.000At what point do we hit the saturation point though?
01:33:30.000But you're entering into the meta instead of playing against the meta in the hopes that what you do is going to go viral because you already have 10 million followers.
01:33:38.000You will beat everyone else if you have a good idea.
01:33:41.000No, everyone's going to do the exact same thing.
01:33:44.000They're going to open up Claude and they're going to say, scan the top YouTube channels and tell me what they're doing.
01:33:50.000And it's going to say, There's an emerging trend around body camera footage.
01:33:57.000Tons of channels are now racing to try and create body cam channels.
01:34:00.000The only problem is there's already a bunch with millions of followers that are winning every single time.
01:34:05.000And when a small channel finds a new body camera footage video, the big channel takes it, uploads it, and gets a million views, and no one watches the small channel.
01:34:13.000And then, when people say, I don't like watching body camera anymore, all that happens is the big channels who already have the airwaves.
01:34:23.000The point is, if every single person is asking Claude the same question and Claude is giving the same answers, the only edge that exists is already having the audience.
01:34:35.000Well, that's the rich get richer argument, and it's true, but there's other arguments that also play, which is counterculture.
01:34:40.000Like young people, they see the old rich guy that just keeps pumping it out, and they're like, it's just there's the better.
01:34:59.000Uploads it to their new channel, posts it on the communities tab for all their big channels, gets a million views, and gets a million subscribers.
01:35:05.000And maybe the other guy should post it on his own network, and we should have a human rights commission about giving you a right to your own network.
01:35:11.000Get the government involved to shut people down.
01:37:15.000Because they have a billion users and they have all of your phone data, they have found a correlation between the amount of movement you make in the early hours of the morning and then when you stop moving just after.
01:37:36.000And the AI said, we can accurately predict what behaviors precipitate pooping.
01:37:44.000They can absolutely, the AI will look at.
01:37:46.000What everyone is doing online, and say the next big thing that's going to pop off will be body camera footage easily.
01:37:52.000And everyone will start pumping out videos, and a guy will make a really good video, but he's got 5,000 subs, so we'll get 300 views.
01:38:01.000And then the guy with 10 million will take his video, remake it with AI, literally just take his video, load into Higgsfield, and say, put my face on it, and then upload it.
01:38:14.000Like when I tell people, I cannot impress upon them what is happening in AI.
01:38:18.000To explain what we've been able to do and what we've seen with AI already, it is.
01:38:25.000I can't give the experience of what it was like to edit a documentary by hand and then explain how it took me 10 minutes to tell it, make documentary and done.
01:39:25.000It's going to be the social engineers.
01:39:27.000Can you accurately predict what humans do and to what scale?
01:39:30.000The simple thing I will say is all wealth, everywhere, always, is based upon your ability to predict what humans will do at greater and greater scales.
01:39:39.000So, the guy who made DoorDash, for instance, a billionaire, he was able to predict the response to what he was doing.
01:39:46.000Now, a bunch of people tried similar things, and there are other apps that do this thing.
01:39:48.000But it's basically like, hey, I can make delivery easier, and I can network all of these restaurants.
01:39:55.000So, there are degrees by which you can predict, and this will predict your wealth.
01:40:01.000If you know what words will result in what actions from another person, most people have a general idea that if you call someone a slur, they'll get angry.
01:40:49.000But if you say, if you get a $100 bill, you'll be happy, and someone gets convinced by that, you just made $100.
01:40:55.000But most people think the only way to make money is a job.
01:41:00.000It is to get a paycheck from a payroll company through a payroll company or something like this.
01:41:03.000The people who know how to transfer, how to predict human behaviors and what to say are going to be wealthy.
01:41:10.000You guys talked about feudalism a little bit ago.
01:41:12.000And I know we've talked about techno communism as one potential outcome of this revolution or techno feudalism, which I like a lot better because feudalism really was the king, this guy with the most powerful military, was like, These two dukes won't stop fighting.
01:41:48.000They're going to offer you the choice.
01:41:49.000You're going to get into a civil suit, and they're going to say, if you want to go through the human courts, the standard procedure is your constitutional right, and the first hearing will be in a month.
01:42:59.000And like the highway is packed and you're about to merge in.
01:43:03.000Before you even get to the highway, the car drops one mile an hour, creating a space for your car and you just slide right in without stopping at all.
01:43:17.000I'm going to spend a lot of time in traffic today.
01:43:18.000My car 10 years ago was more advanced than my car is now because I'm like purposely, when it comes to vehicles, I'm like, when it comes to like any personal technology, I'm like a full Luddite.
01:43:27.000And then when it comes to stuff for my actual work or job, I'm like going as hard as I can with like the newest technology.
01:43:32.000Like, I use this when I'm here, but I primarily use a flip phone for like 90% of my time.
01:43:54.000I can think more clearly and I feel more creative again.
01:43:56.000Like, I'm starting to make like TikToks and stuff.
01:43:58.000I used to not be able to do that because I literally could not think of like a clear, concise enough thought to have an idea and put it together.
01:44:05.000Sounds like you're reshoring your intellectualism.
01:44:31.000And they allegedly said that they pretended that they were like a 13 or 14 year old boy to see and then signed up for Instagram and whatever social media they were looking at.
01:44:42.000They're really nondescript about all that.
01:44:45.000But that within like 23 minutes, I think it was, that suddenly that 14 year old boy is getting like manosphere content funneled to him from the nebulous, nefarious, AI or the algorithm, the algorithm, the algorithm, the algorithm.
01:45:01.000That's everything is blamed on a freaking algorithm.
01:45:06.000They're blaming it on, well, they just said it was out there.
01:45:09.000They think that the big tech companies are funneling manosphere content, which of course they banned my stream, so it's like, I don't know how true that is.
01:45:18.000What are they alleging has been done wrong?
01:45:21.000They're saying that if you're a 13, 14 year old boy, you're being influenced negatively by this manosphere content that is being Like funnel to you through the algorithm.
01:45:36.000Well, they're trying to, well, actually, they're trying to form policy based on this because what they want to do is they want to find some way to talk to big tech to say, we want you to censor this part of Twitter or whatever it is so that these guys don't get this particular influence.
01:46:27.000I'm just wondering, could the, let's just say, the blank phone, Be a sort of an open sort of petri dish, right?
01:46:39.000Could it be something that's uncorrupted just by them, like, you know, I'm going to pretend that I'm a 14 year old boy doing that and having, like, say, GPS know where the thing is or the email address that they happen to use or whatever it is?
01:46:54.000I don't think it's corrupt from the beginning, but here's what I'm saying that it's not.
01:46:58.000You're asking me if they use location data to send you content?
01:47:59.000What I'm saying is the way you're approaching this is stemming from a defensive posture of I agree it's a bad thing they're doing this, instead of there are activists with an opinion who are giving their opinion on the negativity of the manosphere.
01:48:56.000Take it down to the reductionist side of just say, you know, what's the base motive for even doing the experiment in the first place?
01:49:04.000Well, it's not even about the experiment because you can.
01:49:08.000If you did the exact same thing and said, we want to thank Meta because we found that these young men were getting healthy content sent to them to help improve their lives, it's just a framing device, it's an opinion.
01:49:30.000I said maybe it looks like they should.
01:49:33.000Indicating that here's the dangerous thing we should avoid because it looks like maybe this thing might happen, should happen, and it shouldn't, but you got to read between the lines.
01:49:40.000I'm only saying this because I was afraid that it could come to that.
01:49:43.000What frustrates me is say the quiet part loud and get it over with.
01:49:46.000The right always comes to the defense instead of being offensive.
01:50:19.000Instead of arguing, oh, no, Meta's doing good.
01:50:22.000The content is healthy and helpful for young men.
01:50:24.000Well, one of the reasons I bring this up is because.
01:50:27.000Whether it's this experiment or it's pretty much anything that has to do with my particular niche, right?
01:50:33.000It's all their rationale, it's always the algorithm.
01:50:37.000And that is the fiendish, you know, big tech companies that are deliberately corrupting the minds of 13 and 14 year old boys with Andrew Tate stuff or something like that.
01:50:49.000The word corrupting is constantly it's the algorithm, algorithm, algorithm.
01:50:53.000And I'm like, well, the algorithm is you because you're the one that they're.
01:50:57.000That they're catering that message for in the first place.
01:51:00.000If they think you're going to go buy Taco Bell, you're going to get Taco Bell ads in your feed.
01:51:05.000And so I take issue with you making that argument because what you are saying is you got fed negative content because you are a person who seeks negative content instead of saying Facebook is sending positive messages to young people.
01:51:19.000So you're defining it in like positive versus negative then?
01:51:23.000When they come out and say Meta is sending young boys this toxic, corrupting content.
01:51:29.000And you go, no, the algorithm is sending you that content because of this, that, or otherwise.
01:52:18.000Well, that's why the best approach that I've seen rhetorically to the Australia, specifically the Australia case, is just saying the reason and it's true.
01:52:27.000The reason why they're trying to ban social media for was under 16 year olds is because that's the only reason why there's so many right wing under 16 year olds.
01:52:34.000Because if it were just their information intake was completely dependent on their schools and like their life, you know, their surroundings, they were going to become liberals by default.
01:55:15.000He explained, like, the position of Ian as he betrays the revolutionaries is to make a lot of the points that the loyalists had against the revolution because there were many.
01:55:32.000The British crown is defending our trade vessels.
01:55:35.000And asking that we pay our share of this security, and you are demanding instead to cut it off, we'll be left with nothing.
01:55:41.000So, having Ian actually, you know, and then also there's a gag from the show where it's like, you always made fun of me and said my ideas were stupid.
01:55:53.000But then, episode two is called Ian's Revenge because he doesn't die.
01:55:57.000So, spoiler, but the only reason I'm spoiling that is because in the first comic, like, we already said there was going to be a second one and it's going to be a series.
01:56:06.000So, those boards took a long time to get to.
01:58:18.000I think that right now, when you're looking at early voting data showing how bad Republicans are doing and the fact that Republicans are bifurcated, it looks like we're entering into an election cycle where there's two Republican parties and one Democrat party with a tumor.
01:58:31.000But the DSA is going to vote for whatever chaos they can get.
01:58:37.000So, with the breakaway faction, the Republicans, if they lose three, four points, how do you stop a Kamala Harris from winning?
01:58:43.000Like, listen, look, you got 74 million votes?
01:58:46.000I think that we'll see a resurgence of that unity post primary, whatever the 2028 field shapes up to be, because this happens all the time.
01:58:54.000You see that graph on Twitter, which is like the left ideologues all conjoined in one circle, and then the right is all very disoriented and spread out.
01:59:04.000The right left dichotomy doesn't really work in America because what it is, it's the collective of chuds against whatever the left is doing.
02:00:17.000NASDAQ is the open source product, so they will still sell subscriptions, but their mobile app is going to get sold.
02:00:21.000Yeah, what's going to keep Adobe going, and it really is Enterprise Suite, the connectivity that comes with their enterprise and their cloud services.
02:01:10.000And they're going to say, well, our rival is they've all switched to the Artcraft open source suite.
02:01:15.000And that's saving them $200,000 per year.
02:01:17.000And they're going to say, we have to do that.
02:01:19.000And the shareholders are going to have meetings, and you're going to get the phone calls where they say, why are you guys still paying $50,000 a month for the Adobe suite for your company?
02:03:33.000You can follow me on X and Instagram at Timcast.
02:03:35.000Rollo, do you want to shout anything out?
02:03:37.000Just my rational mail engine, actually, since we're on a topic of AI right now.
02:03:41.000I've got my own LLM that was built from the ground up.
02:03:45.000It's not a shell sitting on top of ChatGPT or Gemini or Grok or anything like that.
02:03:49.000We actually have a team of a couple of devs, and we have our own server that it's on right now as well.
02:03:56.000But it is the sort of the go to engine for anything that is sort of manosphere related, anything that's sort of in my niche, and the beauty of the thing.
02:04:07.000Of it is originally for guys to sort of come in and sort of give questions and get sort of advice or like better understanding.
02:04:15.000It's fundamentally based on all of my work from the time I started doing things in 2002.
02:04:21.000And so all my work from my So Suave days on my forum days, my blogs, all six of my books, and soon to be the seventh book.
02:04:29.000And pretty much every transcript, everything I've ever done on video is all sort of creates the brain of the whole engine.
02:04:37.000And this is actually how I sort of started learning a little bit more about AI and understanding how things are built.
02:04:43.000But it's not just about me, it's not just a clone.
02:04:46.000I didn't want it to be like a clone because we have some of the girls that are on the show and they have they're OnlyFans girls, but they have AI clones of themselves now.
02:04:54.000So that if you wanted to talk to some girl at 2 45 in the morning and she's actually asleep, you think she's actually talking to you and awake right then and there, but they've created AI clones.
02:05:04.000This is not an AI clone of me, it's an engine that Everybody is sort of contributing to, and the more we use it, the better it sort of grows and it creates a you know, sort of this aggregate of you know, my knowledge and red pill knowledge and master stuff.
02:05:19.000And then the great thing about it is that it's not just about me, it's about everybody else that's sort of contributing to it as well.
02:05:26.000We've taken the guardrails completely out of it because we kind of had to, because Apple Store is not going to promote us anyways.
02:05:32.000So you're not going to get these mamby pamby kind of woke-see answers, it's going to tell you what you need to know.
02:05:37.000And a lot of people are trying to sort of figure out how to do this at this.
02:05:41.000Point, we're already having the big engines refer back to the Rational Mail engine right now.
02:05:46.000So, Grok, ChatGPT, the rest of the biggies are referring back to the Rational Mail engine for verifications, using it as a resource right now, which is the best thing I've ever done at this point.
02:07:26.000You can't see me because I'm behind the speaker, but yeah, you can follow me at Carter Banks everywhere at Carter Banks Official and uh, on Instagram and check out the uh, label at Trash House Records on YouTube.
02:09:14.000Like a month ago, I've got a program open with a subscription, and it's like, Tell the title of the video.
02:09:21.000It's like six steps to make a video to automatically edit and render.
02:09:24.000And I'm like, man, this is like, it's fast, but I don't know if I wanna do it.
02:09:27.000Now it's literally, you just go into Claude and say, Make a video, it goes working on it.
02:09:30.000I've noticed it's not only about creating stuff, it's about upgrading your workflow of creating stuff.
02:09:36.000Like that's part of the creation now, is if you're not upgrading your work process, you're falling behind because the new, like, it's that metaphor of like, If you take a spaceship to Alpha Centauri halfway through your voyage, another spaceship flies past you because the tech is advanced faster than your old one.
02:09:51.000And so I can't rely on Opus and like I'm clawed.
02:11:06.000So when I record my morning video, I'm just pulling up articles and talking.
02:11:11.000I could literally just drop it in Claude tomorrow and say, render.
02:11:15.000And then just add motion graphics to it.
02:11:19.000So, my 4 p.m. video today on the Timcast channel, I recorded three minutes, loaded it into Claude, and said, Make motion graphics and citations for this.
02:11:28.000And now I have this mini doc cold open.
02:11:31.000And then it goes to me, like, Hey guys, join Timcast.com.
02:11:35.000I got another one for you, another application here.
02:11:38.000We do, I mean, Mike Sartana and I do a lot of debate shows these days.
02:11:42.000And there's the popularity of, like, say, the Jubilee format where it's like the 10 on one or the 20 on one.
02:11:48.000And in a lot of these shows, you'll have a lot of people who are kind of coming at whoever is the one in the hot seat.
02:11:55.000They'll say, Did you know that 45% of X, Y, and Z is this?
02:11:59.000And the guy who is the owner of Origin Studios in Las Vegas, you guys know him, Taius, he's working on an app right now that will listen live in real time so that it can fact check, especially numbers.
02:12:12.000If it's listening to the conversation, and if somebody pops off with something that seems like it's factual, it will automatically go and find the fact.
02:12:20.000Find whether you know, verify whether it's real or it's not, and then if you choose, you know, give it to the host and say if you want to read this, you can.
02:12:27.000The problem with that, they will give it to you, like, and you don't, it's like having another person write the problem is all the fact checking websites are lying, bro.
02:12:34.000So, like, yeah, so depending on what it comes to.
02:12:36.000We have a hard stop now that we're in DC, so we're going to pull in Brian, and we're typically going to be like usually just jumping to callers right away.
02:12:42.000We should get an AI and set them up right there, set it up right there, and have it be part of the show.
02:12:53.000I'll go on to GPT and I'll be like, make a persona of a Gen Z woman who can, you know, and then we'll put a tablet in a chair and have it talk on the show.
02:13:10.000Thanks for having me on again, frequent caller, occasional listener.
02:13:16.000They covered a story last night, Senator Slotkin.
02:13:21.000And given the very real possibility of a Democratic victory in the coming midterms, and with Senator Slotkin's threat to bring down the might and fury of the federal government on those who would dare to work with the Trump administration, is it time for young conservatives to lie low and maybe fight another day or to double down and get into the fight?
02:13:50.000I think the apparatus in DC has matured a lot since the first term.
02:13:53.000And the first term, if these sorts of threats are being made, you might maybe think about taking that advice.
02:13:59.000I think now Nick Solheim over at American Moment, which is kind of the premier staffing organization in DC, he did a whole video statement basically saying, Yeah, we're going to go to the mat for you if they try to jam you up.
02:14:13.000Like, go do your job and we'll take care of you.
02:14:30.000I do think, worst case scenario, they're going to be looking at legal fees.
02:14:35.000But I don't think that should dissuade people.
02:14:37.000I think the majority of people that are getting into politics, if potentially getting subpoenaed is enough for you to not want to get into politics, then you shouldn't be in it in the first place.
02:15:27.000I would also just encourage the current administration, with many young people currently serving, to go after the left for these sorts of comments.
02:15:52.000You know, Slotkin is a CIA, like, intelligence community crony.
02:15:57.000She's like, if Jack Smith, right, from the Trump Council prosecutor, if he had ran for Senate, these people should be getting a taste of their own medicine, which is like, you're breaking the law.
02:16:11.000She's also one of the senators who told the army to refuse Trump's orders.
02:16:30.000Then they tweedledee tweedledummed, disobey illegal orders.
02:16:34.000You can't have one guy say, Trump's orders are illegal, and then I go disobey illegal orders and say, we didn't just tell people to defy the president.
02:16:40.000She's running the same playbook with the comment she made the other day.
02:16:42.000She was like, oh, I didn't mean young conservatives.
02:16:45.000I was talking about the corrupt officials in the administration.
02:16:47.000See, I'm just talking about the corrupt people.
02:16:49.000It's like, no, we all heard the words you said.
02:16:51.000You said, I want to dissuade young people from joining conservative politics because I want to throw them in jail.
02:16:59.000And she's doing the same like legalese.
02:17:11.000I mean, seeing Solheim's statement was great and everything, but we really do need to see the Republicans go on offense here and also communicate that.
02:17:18.000If Slotkin's going to communicate, you know, and I respect a lot of people in the admin.
02:17:21.000They're like, well, behind the scenes, we're really like pushing.
02:17:23.000This is one of the things you should be making it public.
02:17:25.000You should put the fear of God into people like Slotkin.
02:17:28.000The idea of even uttering something that crazy, like they should tremble even thinking about it.
02:17:33.000The fact that they could just say it so flippantly.
02:17:34.000On a daytime television show is absolutely pathetic.
02:17:37.000I think as of yesterday as well, and I'll leave it at this the only people I've really seen talk about this, other than not right wing pundits and organizations, but elected officials talking about this, it was like Brandon Gill and Mike Lee.
02:18:11.000The Trump admin should have put out like a form that says, come apply, we're going to go to bat for you, and here's a slush fund for legal.
02:18:17.000Like that would have solved a lot of problems.
02:18:19.000Because I do actually think, because young people that are considering working for the Trump administration are spending four hours on Twitter every day, they saw that.
02:18:27.000Like this wasn't a lot of times that would like the stuff we fight over on Twitter, no one outside of Twitter seeing.
02:18:34.000So it really doesn't have that much relevance, to be completely honest.
02:18:39.000This is something that actually has a lot of salience.
02:18:41.000Like, there are 18 year olds, 19 year olds, 20 year olds in college right now that are considering interning this summer and their next summer.
02:18:48.000And they saw that comment and they said, I don't, is this worth it?
02:18:51.000I mean, are they going to have my back if I go in?
02:18:53.000So I was talking to a 21 year old who was like, Yeah, I saw that clip and I started talking to my dad about like employees insurance.
02:19:23.000That's gonna be interesting too, because I was talking to Poso, and uh, Poso's down here periodically as well.
02:19:28.000Thinking about him yesterday because uh, they work out of the same building, and I was like, brother, you can just walk in like, literally, there's the door come you know, this building, and uh, all the big media companies are here, so it's gonna be pretty epic.
02:19:57.000Straight to the point, should the Democrats or DSA gain power, how strong do you think the restrictions on AI development will be put in place to fight the rich and save jobs?
02:22:29.000Screaming at the rock for not moving will not move the rock.
02:22:34.000I mean, you can come on the show whenever you want.
02:22:37.000And I think AI for content creation is a good state because I'm not sure if you've been following Twitter for the past few weeks, but there's a thing called Malfoy, and people have been going off about it.
02:22:47.000It's Draco Malfoy as a girl dating Harry Potter.
02:24:31.000This is like the upside of the private police that people are going to be purchasing more as inner city communities continue to rot and be rotten.
02:25:08.000And it happens more when there's no communication lines.
02:25:10.000So if you can knock out communication lines.
02:25:12.000Now they're going to wear metagogglasses.
02:25:15.000And when they're going to see people who are in blue and people who are in red and people who are green and or red.
02:25:19.000The first professional criminal organization that gets a contract with Andrew and those little helmets that they got, that's how you know it's over.
02:27:16.000Dude, Luke Rdkowski does this like armed training thing, and at the end, they just unleash these dudes with paintball guns on you or whatever, and you have to run, and you're like, Yeah, but you're a wizard.
02:27:26.000You know what he was doing where the guy walks in holding a phone, and then the guy with the gun puts the gun down, and then he pulls the gun and shoots him.
02:27:31.000What I realized about five minutes in is as soon as the shit hits the fan, you're just your core starts to cramp up, and you're like, Dude, I can't even run, and there's bullets flying, and I can't even.
02:28:14.000If you want to be tracked by the IC, you're going to be tracked by the IC.
02:28:18.000And I know that that's like a classic argument in favor of the overreach.
02:28:22.000But when I'm reading stories of like a sheriff's deputy in Augusta, Georgia, who's using his wife's flock access to track license plates of illegal immigrant drivers and then making the call to arrest them, I'm like generally.
02:29:22.000By the time it becomes ubiquitous that everyone's got a neural band, and that when you go to Starbucks and you say, Let me get, I'll do the Cortado, they're going to say, Okay, and you're just, you know, pay with your neural band.
02:31:34.000And you're going to think, you're going to be thinking in your head, Neural Band, activate Starbucks, Cortado.
02:31:39.000And then it's going to go, and then you're going to hear a voice, and you're going to hear a voice in your head saying, Just to confirm, we are submitting an order for a Cortado at Starbucks.
02:34:45.000If you make the blue go up, the drone will increase power slightly greater than the power decrease.
02:34:51.000So, you'll make the drone able to go up.
02:34:54.000As long as you're focusing on the blue going up.
02:34:57.000The reason why we have it always go down is because we want to preserve the blue down command for left and right and the red for, so pitch, roll, and yaw.
02:35:07.000So we're like, with two parameters, how do we control a drone completely?
