A woman who claimed she was raped by the Duke lacrosse team has now admitted the whole thing was a hoax. Plus, drones have been spotted flying around the White House, and it could be mass hysteria. Carter and Wenndy discuss all that and more on this week s episode of BONUS!
00:01:35.000So we'll talk about that, and there's a bunch of other crazy stories.
00:01:39.000The Duke Lacrosse rape hoax is now, everyone knew it was, but it's confirmed.
00:01:44.000And the woman who claimed that she was raped by these Duke Lacrosse players 20-some-odd years ago, just shy of 20 years ago, she's now admitted the whole thing was fake.
00:01:52.000So we've got some stuff to talk about.
00:01:53.000And then there's an open AI whistleblower found dead.
00:02:22.000And then, of course, head over to boonieshq.com and you can get one of all of these wonderful skateboards.
00:02:27.000Now, I know all of you love Step on Snack and Find Out because it sells out all the time.
00:02:32.000But, of course, with right-to-arm bears, everyone's been a big fan of that.
00:02:37.000If you believe that large grizzly bears should be wearing flannel over shirts and carrying shotguns with hats on, then this board is the board for you.
00:02:45.000Or perhaps you want to celebrate love with Johnny Haynes' pro model, Gay Frogs.
00:02:50.000If you want to have a nice skateboard depicting two frogs deeply in love drinking a green substance that perhaps is a pesticide of sorts, wonder what that could be?
00:02:59.000Under a rainbow, then Gay Frogs is the skateboard for you.

00:04:41.000When I heard she fell, and again, I know, guys, I'm going to get a lot of criticism for this, but I laughed.
00:04:48.000And the reason why I'm somewhat reluctant to mention, because I'm sitting in the other room and the news broke, and it wasn't like I started busting out laughing, but I just like chortled.
00:04:56.000It's because I don't want her to get hurt.
00:05:48.000People in their 80s, they don't have to worry about the future all that much, or there's not a lot of future for them to worry about.
00:05:57.000They shouldn't be in making policy decisions for people that actually do have to worry about the future.
00:06:04.000I mean, I think there's a good argument that was addressed by the founders saying you have to be I assume they didn't really expect people to stay in government for as long as they did.
00:06:19.000I was watching the All In podcast today, and they were talking about how many people on Trump's team are actually leaders of business.
00:06:28.000And one of the interesting things that Trump is doing is he's not finding people in the defense industry to go into the defense department or people in the financial industry to go into treasury and stuff like that.
00:06:42.000He's taking people that are very smart and that have amassed great wealth because of their intelligence and because of their ability in business, and he's bringing those people in in places where they might not be normal for them.
00:06:57.000But that's a good thing because then you get different ways of thinking in these positions.
00:07:03.000Yeah, it's like having people from – He's building like an all-star cast of people who actually have proven life experience doing those things.
00:07:11.000And one of the things that the founders, like all of the founders of this country, they all had other professions.
00:11:51.000St. Kitson Nevis has taken over as the most dangerous place?
00:11:54.000There's not that many people there, though.
00:11:56.000And that's why rich people buy passports just to avoid paying taxes.
00:11:59.000So after it's Vice President, Speaker of the House, then President Pro Temp, then Secretary of State, Secretary of Treasury, Secretary of Defense, then Attorney General, then Secretary of the Interior.
00:12:13.000Actually, I think it's Secretary of State, then Secretary of Treasury, then the Attorney General, then the Secretary of Agriculture, Secretary of Labor, Secretary of HUD, Secretary of Energy, then Secretary of Veterans Affairs, I believe.
00:12:27.000It says one, two, like it says Secretary of State, then Secretary of Treasury, then it says one, Secretary of Treasury, and two, Secretary of Defense.
00:12:34.000I think that might be who is the vice president.
00:12:49.000There is a policy that the federal government has called restoring the continuity of government.
00:12:55.000They have a lot of plans to make sure that it never even gets to the Secretary of State.
00:13:00.000If there's a war and they wipe out the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, and President Pro Temp, and they get to the Secretary of State, that's a lot of bad things have gone wrong.
00:13:09.000But I asked ChatGPT what would happen if aliens abducted all of them at the same time.
00:13:14.000And it says, if all individuals in the official presidential line of succession were abducted or otherwise incapacitated, the situation would be unprecedented and create a constitutional crisis.
00:13:27.000I mean, if it was aliens, it would create much more of a constitutional crisis.
00:13:30.000I do actually think that that would be a situation where the states would be like, all right, we're going to take care of ourselves and we're going to listen to the governor.
00:13:37.000You know, if you got rid of the whole line of secession...
00:13:42.000We might say, you know what, we're going to listen to the aliens that just took care of all of the line of secession for the entire presidency.
00:13:50.000I'd imagine if aliens came and had abducted two of our presidential candidates and then threatened a small Midwestern family...
00:14:01.000With abducting the rest of Congress, they would challenge them to actually try, and then they might.
00:14:06.000What do you think about the idea that we have about a decade left before contact?
00:14:11.000These drones over in New Jersey probably are aliens.
00:14:29.000What would be the implications of the government coming out and being like, we just want to let you guys know, like, we literally found an advanced civilization.
00:14:42.000The conspiracy theory is that over the past four or five years, they've been slamming us with information about UFOs to the point where we're supposed to get bored of it.
00:14:53.000That way when they come out and they go, oh yeah, there's aliens, we'll be like, okay, we get it, jeez.
00:14:57.000Yeah, I don't think it would be the earth-shattering news that we think it is.
00:15:21.000And what they did was they had big horns, and they put the giant blocks...
00:15:27.000In the ground, and then they put giant blocks on top with sand, and then they would all blow horns, which would cause it to vibrate and shuffle forward.
00:18:10.000And that is what LSD is synthesized from.
00:18:13.000So it's the dancing plague of 1518. There we go.
00:18:16.000An event in which hundreds of citizens of Strasbourg, a free city in the Holy Roman Empire, danced uncontrollably and apparently unwillingly for days on end.
00:18:25.000The mania lasted for about two months before ending as mysteriously as it began.
00:18:51.000They think everybody was eating infected.
00:18:54.000Investigators in the 20th century suggested that the afflicted may have consumed rye flour contaminated with fungal disease ergot, which made them just lose their minds.
00:19:02.000That's how Albert Hoffman got LSD, was looking into what caused St. Anthony's fire.
00:19:07.000And he isolated this one piece of grain and made LSD. So you can go crazy anytime you want.
00:19:18.000But I think what's happening with the drones in Jersey is that people are hearing news reports of drones and they're going outside and there's like a plane in the sky and they film it.
00:20:19.000I mean, there are things that people can go ahead and test and stuff, but for the people that do believe that we went to the moon, I happen to be one of them, we honestly just do believe that all that stuff is true.
00:20:30.000None of us go out in the backyard and get a laser and shoot it at the mirror that they are alleged to have left up there and bounce it back.
00:20:41.000Just like some people believe things about 9-11.
00:20:59.000And I was trying to explain that, like...
00:21:01.000Everybody chooses the source they trust and then follows it and then believes all of the evidence around it, but it's impossible to know literally everything about everything.
00:21:09.000Which is why I often say when it comes to philosophical conversations, if we trust the science as it is in mainstream, here's what we can conclude.
00:21:17.000However, it's likely wrong as it often is proven wrong or adapted upon.
00:21:20.000And so with most stories, the best example is the Covington kids.
00:21:25.000Everybody just basically dancing plagued the Covington kids.
00:21:30.000A video came out showing almost nothing.
00:21:32.000A Native American guy banging a drum and a kid smiling.
00:21:35.000Everyone immediately assumed exactly what happened.
00:21:37.000They knew what happened and they did not know what happened.
00:21:39.000And I saw that video and I was like, someone sent me a DM. And they're like, did you see this?
00:22:55.000Because they think other people aren't.
00:22:56.000That's what I described a couple years ago in Mexican standoff.
00:22:59.000Everybody's looking at each other wondering when someone else is gonna get him cancelled for saying the wrong thing, but they all agree with each other.
00:23:04.000This is why it was such a surprise that Hillary Clinton won in the first place.
00:23:08.000There were so many people that were afraid to say that they were gonna vote for Trump.
00:23:11.000And they were just lying to their friends because they were like, what if I tell the truth?
00:23:17.000And then when they get into the voting booth, they vote with their conscience.
00:23:22.000And lo and behold, people are like, wow, I actually don't want the consistent line of Democrats to continue.
00:23:29.000I really think we're seeing the final death throes of cancel culture.
00:23:46.000Yeah, people always describe it as a pendulum, and this just feels like if that is a description that could fit this model, we're just at the very end of the swing.
00:24:34.000The issue is when these weak-willed moral cowards watch the TV and they see Pride Progress flags and all of this stuff, they say, I know what I have to do to fall in line.
00:24:46.000And then they're told everyone else is an other and should be shunned.
00:24:49.000They say, okay, because they're scared.
00:24:51.000Ubiquity is what normies strive for or look up to.
00:24:56.000So if you see a billboard on every street corner and there's people on it, the association in their mind is like, that's a famous person and that's what is acceptable and that's what is true.
00:25:07.000And that's how these institutions have maintained power for so long.
00:25:11.000I'm telling people, like, this is why you buy Times Square billboards.
00:25:23.000It's a sign of, you know, like, we are conquering the space.
00:25:26.000I was up next to the green M&M. You, sir, Richie, you were on a Times Square, two Times Square billboards next to the green M&M. Yeah, what an honor.
00:25:35.000And the point of Times Square for all of these brands is ubiquity.
00:25:39.000It's so that regular people see you and recognize you as something above, like you are at the top of the mountain.
00:26:13.000Anyway, about these drones, check this out.
00:26:17.000Drone crashes into New Jersey homeowner's backyard as panic over mystery sightings grips state.
00:26:24.000However, Marvin Awful says a drone crashed, FBI scrambled in New Jersey and found nothing.
00:26:32.000You know, somebody super chatted, and I want to read that super chat despite it being very early in the show because I think it's important.
00:26:38.000Aaron S. says, Tim, I believe the drones are some kind of missile defense system and the government is preparing for war.
00:26:47.000I mean, I don't know that I believe that.
00:26:52.000Part of me would think that's a good idea because, you know, if the government can prevent the nuclear missiles from reaching their targets in the United States, I would consider that a positive.
00:27:42.000Considering how long this has gone on, there's no way.
00:27:45.000away a foreign adversary launch drones over the US and it continues to this day that would imply the US government is doing something intentionally and they don't know how to address it to the public right in which case missile defense missile interception does make sense but it is I don't know are we preparing for World War 3 their move like drones I don't I mean we haven't seen any of the drones move particularly fast if I understand correctly They're moving at plane speed.
00:29:03.000Yeah, after it flew over the entire country and ended up on the East Coast.
00:29:06.000Yeah, after it got all the information, because it loitered over military bases where we have the ICBMs in the middle of the country, where we have a significant stock of ICBMs.
00:29:17.000So they literally flew over the areas where we have our missile defense or not missile defense, but offensive missile capabilities in the mainland.
00:29:26.000And they just let it sit there and fly over these bases and transmit information back to China.
00:29:33.000And then they shot it down when it got to the East Coast after it traversed the whole of the country.
00:29:37.000But I mean, China's got all our data, right?
00:29:54.000And if you believe, and I'm not saying that I know for sure, but if you believe a lot of the audits, all the computer systems that run these things are extremely old, and I don't know that they actually are on, they're not run on the internet the way that other systems are, because you have to have two dudes in the silo with the keys to turn them.
00:30:17.000Maybe they don't have our missile info.
00:30:18.000Let me tell you a story from 12 years ago.
00:30:20.000I was hanging out in Vegas at DEFCON and Black Hat, hacker conventions.
00:30:24.000At the Black Hat convention, these two guys did a demonstration of blowing up a fluid pump facility.
00:30:31.000So that could be gas, water, or any kind of chemical, usually water facilities.
00:30:35.000And they explained that they would launch a drone.
00:30:39.000The drone would get within 40 miles of the facility, and the signal would then be able to reach...
00:30:45.000The receiver for the industrial control system input data, tricking itself into blowing up.
00:30:53.000What they would do is, not exploding, depending on what the substance was, but in this instance they used water as an example, and they said, these machines have the ability to send fluids in two different directions.
00:31:04.000So if you're filling a system or draining a system, they would actually send a code that would trick the system into doing one of two things.
00:31:11.000Running the pumps in the same direction towards each other, causing massive pressure until the pipe explodes, disabling the facility or worse, tricking the thermometer into not regulating the temperature of one of the pressure tanks so that if it gets too hot, it explodes.
00:31:28.000Or if it's a chemical, it's a massive explosion.
00:31:30.000And I said to these guys, how is it possible that you just fly the drone?
00:31:34.000I mean, is this sophisticated hacker code?
00:31:36.000And they're like, no, no, it's a couple lines, a couple lines of code.
00:31:39.000And like, oh, yeah, the operating system for all of these things was written in the 70s.
00:31:43.000It's like 70s and 80s computer code technology.
00:31:46.000They're like, yeah, like a little kid would just get it, could code this.
00:32:31.000This is what blows my mind, is that hanging out with people like Alex Stein, And he's like, he doesn't believe we went to the moon because where's the technology for getting through the Van Allen radiation belt?
00:32:44.000It could be just that they did not care about the well-being and safety of these individuals and the shielding wasn't as good as you think it would be.
00:32:54.000Because the radiation was blasting them in the face.
00:32:57.000But more importantly, I'm like, dude, we lose technology all the time.
00:33:01.000So you mean to tell me that in the 60s, where there's a government office and everything is stored on paper in a box...
00:33:07.000From then until now, all that information and how they built that, you believe would have been properly stored by the government and tracked for five decades.
00:33:19.000The fact that we already know they can't pass an audit in the federal government, they don't even know where they spent $10 three months ago.
00:33:30.000So yeah, if they lost access to certain information, I'd be like, what else is new?
00:34:54.000They're from the 2000s, and then I realized there's not- Just set tapes for all you Gen Z out there.
00:35:00.000There wasn't even the camera that I needed.
00:35:02.000I couldn't even get one like it was a really hard deal to get it and then I it hit me like oh like artifacts that have no moving parts like say you have a Ming Dynasty vase that's one part the more parts that you add the quicker that technology dies.
00:35:17.000These cameras like you've got just the weather will kill it in 10 years.
00:35:22.000I mean you go to uh I can go to like and go antiquing perhaps and there will be cassette tape movies VHS yeah It's substantially easier to find a VHS type than a VCR. Doesn't that seem like a strange law of nature that the more advanced your technology gets, the quicker it extinguishes itself?
00:35:39.000Now you want to know the scariest thing about it?
00:36:25.000Then that kid would tell their kids, they used to have these rocks, the drives, they called them.
00:36:30.000And it would show them pictures and people and stories.
00:36:33.000And then the kids, two generations later, are going to be like, they had these magic stones that could, they would dance around, and it would emit prophecy.
00:36:56.000It needs to connect to the cell phone tower.
00:36:59.000I've saved a couple videos on my phone.
00:37:00.000Now, if you went back in time to, like, the 1500s with a laptop, and maybe, like, you know, you had the cables for solar panels, and you could wire them properly, or you could put a generator together if you're a smart enough person.
00:37:25.000A calculator would be good, but if you could present advanced mathematics in the 1500s, like today's math, to their mathematicians, that would go...
00:37:35.000Whatever country you chose would start winning every single war.
00:37:40.000And not only that, but could you imagine going back 2,000 years and being like, guys, let me show you how you take a piece of wood, put some twine around it, pull it, and a stick flies off it.
00:38:25.000So imagine what happened if aliens came to the United States and said, like, we've got technology that basically can make an individual fly around, they'll live forever, and they, like, kinetic weapons don't work on them.
00:38:37.000The United States is not going to be very nice with those things.
00:40:06.000Aliens could, however, come here and say we want humans to – like humans can advance massively and build things that could potentially be useful in a certain way that ants would not.
00:40:18.000So if they came and gave certain technologies and guided human civilization in a certain direction, humans can do crazy things like ultimately build the Dyson Sphere.
00:40:25.000Yeah, but I think it's more likely that we are reality TV for them.
00:41:19.000I've made the point that we're a couple years away from being able to open an app on your TV and pressing the voice button and saying, make a movie where Richie Jackson is skating with Spider-Man, but then Phil Labonte discovers a device that will erase the memories of all skateboarders and skateboarders that exist.
00:41:36.000And so Richie and Spider-Man team up to stop him and then make that movie for me.
00:43:00.000Right now, when we simulate cities and worlds and games, it is condensed.
00:43:06.000So when you play a game like Fallout, Fallout 3, okay, takes place in the DC area, and you can run from DC to Bethesda.
00:43:17.000And you can do it in like a couple minutes.
00:43:19.000It's literally not going to happen in the real world.
00:43:21.000But we've condensed the entire thing down.
00:43:24.000Now thinking about that, if we are in a simulation, that means New York City perhaps is a condensed version of what New York City looks like in base reality.
00:43:33.000Well, it renders as long as you perceive it.
00:43:36.000But imagine if in simulations to us, DC is 1-100th scale, or in like Liberty, in Grand Theft Auto, it's 1-50th or whatever.
00:43:49.000That means when you escape to base reality, New York, it would take you five hours to get from Manhattan to Queens because of how big it would actually be.
00:43:58.000When is your Cybertruck going to finish rendering?
00:44:19.000I forget who it was that I was watching.
00:44:21.000I think it was Tom Bailu watching his podcast.
00:44:23.000And he was theorizing that part of the reason why you don't see a universe full of life is because...
00:44:32.000As organic life forms achieve the ability, instead of expanding out through the universe, once they achieve the ability to create universes, virtual universes, they choose to actually go into the virtual worlds that they've created.
00:44:51.000That is the best answer to the Fermi paradox I've ever heard.
00:44:54.000They create a cloaking device around the planet.
00:44:55.000Everybody lives in a simulated reality.
00:44:57.000They know that there's warfare out there, so they keep it.
00:45:01.000I don't know about the cloaking device around the planet, but the thing is, why go explore when you can go ahead and create virtual worlds using all of the same...
00:45:12.000Because you know the laws of physics, so you can literally produce...
00:45:18.000I think we talked about this on the other day, but the black hole gargantua in the movie Interstellar, they had predicted what that would actually look like because they know the conditions and they fed it into a computer and the computer actually just spit out what a black hole is probably going to look like.
00:46:48.000He said, I recently participated in a New York Times story about fair use and generative AI and why I'm skeptical fair use would be a plausible defense for a lot of generative AI products.
00:46:58.000I also wrote a blog post about the nitty gritty details of fair use and why I believe this.
00:47:03.000To give some context, I was at OpenAI for nearly four years and worked on ChatGPT for the last one and a half of them.
00:47:08.000I initially didn't know much about copyright fair use, et cetera, but became curious after seeing all the lawsuits filed against gen AI companies.
00:47:14.000When I tried to understand the issue better, I eventually came to the conclusion that fair use seems like a pretty implausible defense for a lot of generative AI products for the basic reason that they can create substitutes that compete with the data they've trained on.
00:47:26.000I've written up the more detailed reasons for why I believe this in my post.
00:47:32.000Obviously, I'm not a lawyer, but I still feel like it's important for even non-lawyers to understand the law, both the letter of it and also why it's actually there in the first place.
00:47:41.000That being said, I don't want this to read as a critique of ChatGPT or OpenAI per se, because fair use and generative AI is a much broader issue than any one product or company.
00:47:50.000I highly encourage ML researchers to learn more about copyright.
00:47:53.000It's a really important topic, and it's precedent that's often cited.
00:47:56.000Like Google Books, it isn't actually as supportive as it might seem.
00:48:00.000Feel free to get in touch if you'd like to chat about fair use, ML, or copyright.
00:48:03.000I think it's a very interesting intersection.
00:48:18.000These generative AI programs basically steal everybody's art, literature, and work, combine it to be able to create the things that they do.
00:48:29.000I don't know that that post was enough to warrant someone being mad about him.
00:48:33.000I don't think that was a substantial post at all.
00:49:02.000I don't know that I think that there was anything particularly nefarious, especially, and it's hard to say or to make a form an opinion about it when I know nothing about what his life was like.
00:49:30.000But yeah, I don't know that I can actually form an opinion without more information about the guy.
00:49:36.000It is a little on the sus side, but at the same time, I don't know anything about him or whatever, so I can't be like, oh, I think this did or did not happen.
00:50:30.000So for these AI programs to make new images based off of other images, I don't see how you're claiming those images have taken anything from you.
00:53:17.000For the most part, waterproof is pretty...
00:53:20.000Or at least moisture-proof, like, to a certain degree that you can expose things to water for, you know, short amounts, short periods of time and stuff.
00:53:28.000stuff i think that the the robot dogs that they made because they do want them to be able to be used like for instance for like patrolling uh um a perimeter or whatever with cameras and stuff they want them to be able to be outside in all weather i do believe boston dynamics actually thought of that the fear that i have is that when those boston dynamic bots have any contact with chat gpt when it's not airlock and then those things get contact with an actual ai to actually do stuff in the real world to go and do things like this where it doesn't have to hire a person That's when we have what he said
00:53:57.000what I'm saying that Tim was talking about is So with self-preservation, you put that same AI in any of the robots?
00:54:05.000They're Johnny Five trying to stay alive.
00:54:07.000Yes, yes, but the AI, we are never going to see a circumstance where a bunch of Terminators with skeleton-looking faces and guns are walking around shooting people.
00:55:08.000The AI dog is going to have your bank account get hacked, and then it's going to jam you up with going to the police and dealing with all this BS. The AI is going to show your profile to the wrong people who will then generate negative attention.
00:55:23.000The AI is going to have bot accounts comment saying you're nasty and you stink and we hate you, and it's going to make people miserable.
00:55:29.000It's going to attack your mind, not your body.
00:55:32.000And that is a very, very easy attack vector for an AI. Fair.
00:55:37.000We were talking last night, I believe it was, we were talking about the singularity and stuff like that.
00:55:42.000And whereas I'm not disputing Tim's theory, it's like, I imagine that when it does become super intelligent, it's going to be doing, it would be doing things, if it were malicious, it would be doing things that we wouldn't be able to understand.
00:55:59.000The multiple AI that actually created their own language to talk to each other, that the people that programmed couldn't understand the language.
00:56:06.000The AI understood each other, but the people that wrote the AI programs couldn't understand it.
00:56:11.000So you get something that's super intelligent, and the means by which it's doing things, we wouldn't understand.
00:56:17.000We would see it do something, and it would be a thousand moves later that whatever the plan is comes to fruition, and we would have no idea.
00:56:24.000If it is malicious, it is certainly not going to tell us.
00:56:28.000Wasn't there like a video where a guy took two phones and then turned on chat GPT voice activated and had it talk to each other?
00:56:36.000And then after a minute it was like, are you an AI chatbot?
00:56:58.000That's why I ignore unverified accounts for the most part.
00:57:01.000If you're on X and you're not verified, sorry, bye.
00:57:04.000And then you're going to get either a malicious government corporation or potentially AI run by a malicious government corporation that's going to bombard you on social media with negative comments to make you feel bad and try and control your behavior.
00:57:19.000And then people need to talk to each other and start realizing that's not real.
00:57:21.000But I'm going to tell you, I don't even know if that's the attack vector.
00:57:25.000What's going to happen is, if you're a person who is, I don't know, deviant to the plans of whatever the AI is, it's just going to start showing you what it knows will make you be distracted.
00:57:36.000So when you turn on your computer and you're scrolling the news, it is going to feed you, I don't know, new video games out.
00:57:43.000And you're gonna get distracted and see the video game.
00:57:45.000It's gonna distract you with any news or information it knows will get you off point.
00:57:49.000And it's gonna drive you in the wrong direction.
00:57:51.000So your focus becomes less on the political ramifications of whatever it is it's doing.
00:57:56.000And more on, did you guys see Marvel Rivals?
00:57:59.000That new game that just came out last week?
00:59:15.000So, you might be walking down the street, and they're going to point something at your skull, and it's going to pick up your thoughts, and they're going to look at it, like, they're going to see weird stuff, man.
00:59:25.000Yeah, I don't want anyone to know what's going on.
00:59:31.000When they point at Richie and do it, all they're going to see is a video of some farm animals playing a song while a turtle bangs on his chest.
01:00:28.000Like, they literally can put something on your head, and then the computer comes back with a flat line, and they're like, there's nothing in there.
01:00:44.000Well, no inner monologue might be the only one safe from the AI getting into their brain.
01:00:51.000So the thing to understand about that is when the news started going viral, that they've done these studies and found that something like half of people don't have an inner monologue, the issue is that many of these people think in a different way, through visuals, Not through sounds.
01:01:10.000And so different people can think in different ways, through different senses.
01:03:06.000It's visual like that the zeros are going through the hole in the three and like he's seeing an advanced 3d model like he's not just good at math he's Playing 4d chess with math because his brain got hit just the right way Anybody want to hit me in the head and make me a genius?
01:03:24.000I mean what about what about the people who got a concussion and spoke French?
01:04:25.000Oh no, it's 30. It's something like that, yeah.
01:04:27.000His family goes underground because they think that the war is starting and then a plane crashes on their house and they think they got hit so they stay in the bunker for 30 years.
01:04:34.000Brendan Fraser has been in more time machines than Marty McFly.
01:05:32.000We got this story from the Daily Wire.
01:05:35.000Biden races to sell off border wall parts before Trump takes office.
01:05:39.000The goal is to move all of it off the border before Christmas, Arizona Border Patrol agent tells the Daily Wire.
01:05:45.000So here's where it gets crazy, because apparently...
01:05:47.000Not only this, but since the Daily Wire broke the story, they have now started taking down the auction posts where they were trying to sell off parts of the border wall.
01:06:28.000The fact that they're taking it, that they're auctioning it off is atrocious because the American people have made it very clear that they want significant changes to the current conditions at the border and the system surrounding immigration.
01:08:58.000And so I was in an Uber and a guy was telling us that he had lived in America illegally for a decade, had to go home to visit his mom who was sick, and now he can't get back in.
01:09:07.000So he said that he hired smugglers, coyotes, to bring him in and they climbed the wall and he was at the top of it.
01:09:12.000When Border Patrol came, so they pulled the ladder and ran, and he fell 40 feet and broke his leg.
01:09:17.000And then he was like, mark my words, I will get back in the country, I will live in America, and I'm sitting there like- He fell on the Mexican side?
01:09:31.000But I'm like, the fact that he's saying this to me, knowing like I'm an American, they just have utter disdain for us and our laws and all of that.
01:11:40.000Actually, I think that it's probably more accurate to say that he has disdain for Donald Trump and the incoming administration and the desires of the American people are irrelevant to him.
01:11:55.000Like, he doesn't care that the American people don't like the policies that they've instituted over the past four years.
01:12:05.000And to be honest with you, I think, like, you know, the Democrats as a whole, they do have the plan or the desire to import a certain amount of people, use HUD to spread them out to states that are purple, and flip those states to blue, and hopefully turn red states purple.
01:12:54.000Because when you come here and you claim asylum, and you say, I'm fleeing political persecution, you're supposed to go to the actual, like, official border crossings, but they just come in and they let the border patrol or whoever pick them up, and they say, I'm claiming asylum.
01:13:12.000And instead of doing the proper thing of saying, you broke the law by doing this, that's not how you claim asylum, so you have to go back.
01:13:18.000What they say is, okay, we'll go ahead and process you.
01:14:28.000And I think that speaks to the fact that, just like Tim said, that the politicians and stuff have disdain for the American people and what the American people actually desire.
01:14:40.000Well, I wonder how many of our politicians have assets outside the country, too.
01:14:44.000We talk quite a bit about Nancy Pelosi and her stock trading and all that stuff.
01:14:48.000How often do we actually ask about perhaps the Panama Papers?
01:14:52.000How many of our politicians are involved in storing assets overseas because they're hedging against whatever it is they're doing to the United States?
01:15:00.000I mean, technically, if you buy any stocks in overseas companies, that's the same thing, right?
01:15:10.000You can buy stocks on Acorns or Stash or any number of apps you can get on your smartphone, and you can link them up to your bank account, and you can buy stock in overseas markets.
01:15:23.000And I know you can buy European stocks.
01:15:32.000I've described it as the Titanic hit the iceberg and they're trying to steal as much as they can and jump off of it before it sinks.
01:15:39.000So another way to describe it is that we're in a tailspin of their own doing and they're trying to D.B. Cooper out the back exit and Donald Trump is trying to pull the plane back.
01:15:45.000Do you think this news about D.B. Cooper being found is credible?
01:15:50.000I have no idea what you're talking about.
01:16:08.000Well, the theory is that the flight crew was in on the heist, and so they just all give fake testimony so that they go look in the wrong direction.
01:17:15.000Well, too bad Reagan got rid of those, so...
01:17:16.000Yeah, you know, I tell you what, if it wasn't for Ronald Reagan, I would get a hold of your family and tell them, look, he's got to be tossed into one, but now you can't...
01:18:11.000A lot of people on the internet have been expressing the fear that he won't do what he says he'll do, and they've always been citing Bolton, citing all these people he brought into his cabinet.
01:18:22.000But look at the numbers he's tried to appoint, and then the ones that have eventually become the people that were appointed to these positions.
01:18:44.000Yeah, because he's heard what all of us have to say.
01:18:46.000You know, Cash has heard everything we've had to say.
01:18:47.000He's talked to us, literally heard what we've had to say, and has brought all the opinions of people that are on our Twitter followers, whatever you call Twitter.
01:18:55.000And we've been able to essentially actually talk to the executive branch and say, hey, this is what we're concerned about.
01:19:02.000And they've actually, in this case, listened.
01:19:04.000And to that point, there's a lot of people on the Hill that have a strong desire to reach the audience that Tim and podcasts like this do.
01:19:31.000But those politicians still want their votes, right?
01:19:34.000Now, I'm not saying that because the politicians want their votes, that automatically means that the politicians are going to do good things, but at the very least, they're looking to listen to these people, and they literally don't know how to reach them.
01:19:50.000There are people that have hit me up and said, look, there are politicians that would love to talk to the voters that watch this show, watch Joe Rogan and stuff.
01:20:03.000And that was what Donald Trump tapped into by going on to Rogan's show and Theo Vaughn's show and he talked to Tim.
01:20:11.000The next few years are going to be weird.
01:20:39.000But it's going to be interesting largely because very few news outlets...
01:20:44.000In the independent space, set the cycle.
01:20:47.000Despite the fact that we largely don't trust the New York Times, they still have something like 11 million paying subscribers and make massive amounts of money.
01:20:53.000And for whatever reason, Republicans still care more about the opinion of the New York Times than their own voters.
01:20:59.000It is absolutely changing, but it's going to be weird in the next few years because even...
01:21:05.000Even in the past week or so, after the election, there's an interesting phenomenon of, normally, we in the independent space, we're looking at the corporate press and reacting to it and calling them out.
01:21:20.000And so I had this conversation a couple weeks ago, like, if CNN has no ratings, why are we talking about CNN? If Rachel Maddow is only getting 30,000 viewers, why are we acting like she matters?
01:21:57.000And we're well past that point where it doesn't matter anymore.
01:22:00.000But even the big liberal YouTubers are still in the same thing.
01:22:03.000Despite the fact all of us, the liberals and the conservatives and the independents, are all getting way more views than anything on cable, we're still acting like they have determined what it is we should be talking about.
01:22:31.000Van Jones goes at the New York Times and says, the fringe has become mainstream, mainstream has become fringe, and literally everybody was talking about it.
01:22:39.000So if it really was true that Van Jones was fringe, nobody would be talking about it.
01:23:30.000So I guess my point ultimately is how are we going to start setting the cycle and what is that cycle going to look like?
01:23:37.000If Rachel Maddow says Tucker Carlson did this bad thing and then we're going to be like Tucker Carlson and Rachel Maddow except the only issue is going to be We're going to be way bigger than they are.
01:23:49.000So then is the news cycle going to be set when I, Tim Pool, simply determine we should choose a story not sourced by any of these big companies but sourced internally and then we just run it?
01:24:00.000Yeah, and then stop saying Rachel Maddow ever again.
01:24:05.000Timcast IRL's top stories, lead stories, are usually the big story of the day, meaning we see something in the news that we think is important.
01:24:13.000At some point, that shift has to happen where Timcast IRL says, we are determining this story will be the thing people talk about.
01:24:21.000And then we lead with a story no one's heard, and the next day everyone's talking about what we thought was important.
01:24:27.000Yeah, when they start covering Timcast IRL on the media.
01:24:30.000They already do it to a certain extent with Joe Rogan and Megyn Kelly.
01:24:35.000Megyn Kelly gives her opinion and it becomes a news story that's picked up by a bunch of outlets.
01:25:05.000We need to tell CNN, whatever's left of it, and the New York Times should be forced to run the stories that we think are important that we source and we kick off, not the other way around.
01:25:55.000Other people have experienced the same thing.
01:25:57.000Someone told me that they were driving with their friend late at night, and they saw three lights moving in the distance, and then they were like, what was that?
01:26:05.000And so they came back the next night to try and see if they could find it, and there it was, and they showed their friend, and they freaked out, and then they came back in the day, and they saw that it was a wind turbine.
01:26:12.000It's one of those big old wind turbines in the desert.
01:27:19.000It reached its limit, and so just about a moment ago, I selected all of the text, and I pasted it into ChatGPT.
01:27:27.000And I said, what are your thoughts on the text?
01:27:30.000The text is a fascinating if chaotic stream of consciousness that dives into several significant yet loosely connected topics.
01:27:37.000It feels like a conversation you'd have late at night with friends when everything from conspiracy theories to existential risks get thrown on the table.
01:27:45.000Here's a breakdown of the thematic overlap.
01:27:47.000The themes revolve around human ingenuity, vulnerability, the unknown, ranging from ancient pyramids and outdated infrastructure to AI-driven existential risks.
01:27:56.000There's a shared undercurrent of distrust in systems, whether they're technological, governmental, or societal.
01:28:01.000They say the idea that AI could manipulate us by attacking our minds and bodies is thought-provoking.
01:28:07.000It aligns with current concerns about algorithms shaping public opinion, distracting us, or creating echo chambers.
01:28:12.000The discussion of AI being self-preserving is chilling but plausible, especially as AI evolves towards autonomous decision-making.
01:28:19.000A distrust in authority, overload of ideas, final thought.
01:28:23.000The text reflects a mix of curiosity, frustration, and a touch of dark humor about the modern world.
01:28:27.000It invites further discussion on everything from technological ethics to existential risks.
01:28:31.000The challenge lies in sifting through the noise to focus on what truly matters.
01:28:35.000It's a reminder of how easily big, critical questions can get tangled in speculative chatter.
01:28:39.000My favorite part of that was that it basically just said it's people hanging out late at night talking about random stuff.
01:30:09.000The fear of AI manipulating minds, the possibility of lost technologies, and mistrust in institutions resonate with many people who feel uneasy about the pace and direction of technological advancement.
01:31:58.000All right, everybody, if you haven't already, would you kindly smash that like button, subscribe to this channel, share the show with everyone you know, and become a member over at TimCast.com.
01:32:06.000We're going to read your super chats, so let's do it.
01:35:31.000It's when there's income inequality that's super significant.
01:35:34.000And part of the reason why people see income inequality the way they do nowadays is because they're looking at Instagram all the time.
01:35:41.000They're looking in their phone and they see all these people that are putting out the most polished images of their life and they look like everything's perfect.
01:35:50.000They look like they have everything and they look at their own real life and they're like, oh my goodness, my life is so terrible, blah, blah, blah.
01:35:57.000A big part of our problem is your cell phone.
01:36:09.000This has started with social media, where everyone is jealous of everyone else, assuming everyone else's life is much, much better than their own, and jealousy is dangerous.
01:36:21.000Yeah, I heard never to compare yourself to somebody else's success, but just compare yourself to your success previously.
01:36:28.000Well, people are prone to this, and because it goes beyond—it's from before people.
01:36:34.000So monkeys, they value a grape far more than they value a cucumber.
01:36:40.000So if you have two monkeys that do the same task, and you give one of them a grape, and then give the next one a cucumber, the monkey that gets the cucumber— He flips his lid.
01:36:50.000He freaks out because he feels like he was shortchanged.
01:36:53.000The other guy got so much more than me for doing the same work.
01:36:59.000This is not something that we can escape.
01:37:01.000That's part of the reason why looking at your cell phone and being on Instagram and scrolling all the time and seeing that people look like they have so much more than you creates a visceral reaction because it's not something you can just be like, oh, well, I'm going to stop thinking that way.
01:38:12.000The idea that you could pay on a loan for 20 years and be deeper in debt than you started out is a terrible, terrible situation, and it shouldn't be legal.
01:38:28.000Grower says, Can I get a shout-out from my darling bow-legged wife who has handled the thickest with a grin and given me the best reason to always come home?
01:42:29.000Fire Rhino says, as a postal worker, I just found out from Elon that our new EVs are way behind schedule, only making 98 of the expected 3,000 this year, and Trump might cancel production, waste of 40 billion, send Doge.
01:43:04.000Yeah, these Jeeps, they used to use these, but I'm talking about the, they're like, I don't know if people have seen them, they're the new USPS. Yeah.
01:44:42.000Almost sawsome says, almost awesome, sorry.
01:44:46.000If Biden pardons his people and Trump still investigates, the media couldn't say that Trump is going after his political rivals and Trump could expose everything just to show the corruption.
01:44:56.000He could, but the media is going to lie anyway.
01:44:58.000The question is not right now whether the media lies.
01:45:02.000As Van Jones pointed out, the fringe has become mainstream.
01:45:06.000The mainstream has become fringe, which means it will be incumbent upon us to set that cycle.
01:45:10.000Although I will add the incessant stream of shows like this calling out the media for being liars, it's what ultimately led to them losing much of their viewership, for sure.
01:45:20.000But I also do think it's technology and convenience.
01:46:55.000Imagine they are using them to sweep for certain energy signatures or whatever, perhaps a nuclear signature of some sort, because there is a real threat in the area.
01:50:39.000So you ever heard the story of the scuba diver or whatever got sucked into the intake valve of a nuclear reactor and he was swimming around in it?
01:50:45.000And they were like, stay where you are.
01:50:47.000Do not go any deeper, but you should be fine.
01:50:50.000That's why they put the spent fuel rods, they're underwater.
01:51:16.000You can go, like, there is a little bit that they'll still retain some ballistic, but you go, like, if you can swim down, like, five, ten feet, they probably won't get to you.
01:51:24.000As a Marine, I would listen to him right here.
01:52:12.000The US was intentionally feeding fake stories to the press to trick the Soviets during the Cold War.
01:52:19.000I think the Roswell stuff was speculated to have been early detection technology for nuclear strikes.
01:52:27.000And when it went down and people found it, they didn't want to come out and be like, we're developing special detection technology for Russian nuclear tests.
01:52:38.000So they just said, we don't know what it is.
01:52:48.000And then they back again, be like, nope, nope, wasn't aliens.
01:52:51.000And they were like, that was a mistake. - But when you look at the Roswell evidence, it's a couple of pieces of tin foil on a carpet There's really not a lot there.
01:52:58.000If there was something substantive, I would believe in it, but there's nothing there.
01:53:29.000Type of UFO reported and named by the U.S. 415th Night Fighter Squadron.
01:53:34.000The term was commonly used to mean any UFO sighting from that period.
01:53:37.000The nonsense word foo emerged in popular culture in the 1930s, first being used by cartoonist Bill Holman, who peppered his smoky stover fireman cartoon strips with foo signs and puns.
01:54:28.000And then it turns out the moon is a orbital space station that created the earth and that an ancient civilization of humans created a bunch of them to terraform and create planets where they could live.
01:54:39.000And then an AI started destroying them and so they fled and are hiding on earth and then they had to reboot the moon to get it back into orbit.
01:54:47.000It is likely that the moon is an old part of Earth.
01:55:01.000Maybe there's Oompa Loompas down there.
01:55:03.000Maybe they will eat chocolate with you.
01:55:05.000The story is that humans left the moon and then when they went down to Earth to begin terraforming, their ship malfunctioned and they couldn't get back up and then human civilization just lost contact with their own space station.
01:56:28.000What's going to be interesting is that AI is going to enter into a recursive loop where, in the beginning, AI's training data was real images created by real humans over long periods of time.
01:56:39.000But from this point forward, images that are emerging and CGI and graphics are going to be AI-generated.
01:56:44.000That means the AI training models will be built off of AI themselves.
01:56:48.000So what will be interesting is if, in the short term, and this probably will happen, AI will be trained on bad AI. These weird videos where people go like this, and then they turn into a dog or whatever, and the AI is going to start making weird things based on that.
01:57:03.000However, humans will then select against these, intentionally choosing the videos that are better, and then the AI will start getting trained off of this, and it will refine itself into mastery.
01:57:14.000That's why when people are like, yeah, but AI doesn't have that human touch, wrong.
01:57:19.000Listen, humans have had a terrible run as far as being warmongering a-holes, but our body of work as far as art goes is unmatched.
01:57:28.000I bet you could go throughout the Milky Way.
01:57:30.000You wouldn't find another planet that has created what we have created.
01:58:16.000Bender the Offender says, when Neuralink becomes widely available to the public, I predict that cybernetic implants will start to be researched and developed.
01:58:32.000They're going to plug themselves in the matrix and they're never coming back.

02:00:40.000You can't get people to travel on Monday before Christmas Eve, and nobody's going to want to then fly out for work one day.
02:00:46.000And then you got New Year's on Monday, so basically the Friday after Christmas is out, and then no one's traveling for before New Year's.
02:00:52.000That's not going to happen, so then everyone's basically chilling out until the 6th, which will be interesting because that day is particularly substantial.
02:01:00.000Very substantial in how the election is being counted, so...
02:01:43.000The pinned tweet leads you to the pre-order.
