BAES 148: Details of Altman Attack are WILD

Increased violence in the world of EI artificial intelligence. He said he wanted to quote burn it down and kill anyone inside

Um, I'm quitting Anthropic because of what I've seen and I'm retiring to the Irish countryside to write poetry

A hugger family now, and there's one more thing and he unveils

It might it might when they kill everybody

I'm looking at time with them in me

Tell me what's going on

Tell me what's going on

So listen up

Don't beg me

Tell me what's going on

Tell me what's going on

Well folks, don't say anything about that. We're back everybody. Stay tuned for the coming of the week. We're bringing that back

Uh, we're just going to dive right in. We got a lot to cover here a lot to cover. We're going to be going over the

increased violence in the in the world of

These people man the details that came out about the the Molotov cocktail attack on Sam Altman's house are

Wild stuff and subsequent

Shooting yeah, and some subsequent gun gun attack on he house

And we're going to be talking all about uh, some some updates in the AI world. We've got Elon Musk and

You know, it's so funny that this isn't even getting coverage Elon Musk is going to court against open AI with a jury

A dang jury trial

The rural juror the rural juror. Oh, is that supposed to be a tongue twister?

It's that 30 rock thing. It's in my head because we're gonna talk right in the bonus bed

And you know, if we got time, we're going to be talking about uh, the man oh man. This Ashley St. Clair Elon Musk baby mama

Here's like, well, maybe mama if you sent the sperm through the male

Yeah, cuz he's still she still give birth to the baby. For sure

But before we get into all of that, let's give you a little bit of an update on that thing going on over there

The war in Iran. They sent they sent our nation's best JD Vance and two

corrupt real estate tycoons yeah

uh, and including the president's

Moran son-in-law it's

And it didn't go well. It didn't go well. It's also one of those things where obviously we we started the show with an intention to have

Fun and funny takes on these things and it

I don't you remember the show Veepe

Who could forget? I I don't know if it was I don't know if it was the creator Armando Aynucci or a producer because I think Armando

Might have even left before the end of it, but I remember they ended it around the time Donald Trump got elected

and

Someone either the creator or one of the producers was basically like

There's nothing left for us here anymore. You know, like you've mentioned that. Yeah, we've we've done

It's not even parody. Yeah, the real the real life is funnier than we could ever imagine. Yeah, and

We're experiencing a bit of that with Trump's latest moves where

He is now so failed negotiations with Iran

Trump's

big brain move is

Since they can't

Open the straight of her moves, which they've been begging for and say needs to happen his move is now

Well, we're blocking the straight. We're doing a naval blockade with the finest navy in the world where

If you won't open it, we'll block it stick that in your pipe and suck on it and your pipe

It doesn't it is unfortunate that he is just

Doing things that are funnier than we could have ever imagined. I mean a lot of people online are going this is

Our foreign policy is like a it's like a male Brooks movie or like a

Like a Monty Python sketch or something. It's you won't open the straights when it keeps it closed

It's do something with that. It's unbelievable. Also, it seems like it's

not effectively closed with

The big worry here was that okay, what happens if China for example tries to

Make good on a deal. They've made with Iran where their ships will still be able to get through

Is the US maybe actually going to

Turn a Chinese tanker around turn around Chinese tanker or we don't want your passing through here

So far it doesn't seem like that's the case it seems like Chinese Chinese

Ships have gotten through yeah, and the American Navy has just gone

Enjoy

Enjoy the oil cut to the the American guys are eating um like chow mein and the Chinese ships are like waving

You know because they've brought them with chow mein noodles

How do you think it's a bribe? Yeah, I'm fucking I'd take that bribe

They do an old-school style with like ropes between the ships

Here's some you know

I mean, whatever it takes I bet I don't know exactly

I have no idea how the logistics of any of how it works with the stranded

The ships that are just stuck in the straight or with bribes. I bet I bet they would probably take some

Lomaine at this point. I'd be I mean, I remember when the the ILWU the

um

The dock workers union here in the port of Los Angeles went on strike. There were a couple big ones, but

I remember in the in the early 2000s or like the late night. It was probably the early 2000s the big one

There were dozens of ships just docked out on on the horizon. It was

really really wild and

They were they were coming up across similar issues is like okay, they're running out of supplies

So they had smaller boats come and

Either deliver supplies or just relieve the crews and

Either swap them out or I don't know. So I don't know if they're doing that over there, but one thing

Is for certain and I've talked about it on here and I said it man and I effing called it

The market doesn't care any more not I did okay. They seem to love it

It's at the all-time highs and I'm

Bucking pissed at myself and I will cover it on stock to it's because I

got him pissed

Okay, Sunday night the futures markets opens and it opens way down almost one over one percent

And then it starts to climb and it's only down three quarters of a percent and I was just like I know it's gonna fucking

It's gonna turn green by Monday morning and sure enough it did and not only did it turn green

It went up even beyond that and I didn't

Make a trade even though my gut told me this is exactly what's gonna happen and I just I missed out on so much

Potential profit and it's just this is the

What sucks about trading is you can make a little money, but then you have to look at oh if I had just done

Exactly what I thought would happen

It's so fucking frustrating folks

Do it yet. So in well, sorry real fast

It speaks to what I've referred to I've said it countless times on the show

If you are worried and you think that the world is about to end just look at what the market is doing

Sometimes that's wrong because sometimes it's just a delay. Well, no, truly sometimes it's a delayed reaction

But more often than not the market knows or the market is the true gauge of sentiment and the fact that the market just seems so

counter to your whole

Thing though like especially the COVID thing where it's like the market just could not

Figure this out and you saw it coming

And this feels so similar to me where it's like

There was a difference the difference was it was not at all a mainstream

Topic of discussion yet. It was just like some people were talking about it. Others were just being like

Yeah, it's not a big deal. It's it's nothing. I think everybody has already gone through multiple cycles of analyzing and over analyzing and the straight being closed and

The energy shock and all that stuff and I think ultimately it just goes to show that what we are being told and what

Information is coming out of there is not a hundred percent accurate being told about what like the the the

Because from what I can understand like the closure itself analyst I've seen are like I mean

They say we're still living in a pre pre-closure world where

We're filming this on April 14th

April 15th is the day according to that JP Morgan thing where America the west coast of

North America will get its last

Shipments of oil. Yeah, that has already

You're seeing does effects in Asian markets african markets Europe just got their last shipment April 10th

I see the

Uh, I see the EU commissioner come out like every other day to be like

Please stay home

We don't have much like I don't like please stay home

That you know great. I'm glad the I'm glad the markets back up like I mean I had a weird personal situation where like

Someone someone owed me some money and I called them

Uh, this was probably like a week or so after February 28th. We're talking three figures or four figures

Over a thousand dollars or a hundred thousand dollars what and

Good man. I was like

Or they brought it up and they were like yeah, just tell me tell me the information. I'll get it to you

I just have to like move from Schwab or whatever and I was like wait is this an investment account and they were like

Yeah, and I was like well fuck. It's a terrible. I don't I don't want you to send it now and they were like

Yeah, I was gonna bring that up like my shit tank. I was like I'm never getting this money like I can't take it while you're getting founded and

Now

A week and I was like

I

Hit that cell but I don't know if it's all the S&P but it's a dollar off all time high and then yesterday

I was like I think it's probably a good to and then literally today

Uh, I went for it, but I don't I mean who knows I don't think we're out of the woods

Maybe we are with the market, but in my mind the market the market is completely irrational and

And it may never crash again

The more I look at it. I'm like, maybe this is just something that's divorced from reality that

the ownership class gets to get to invest in and

K will be there will be a massive revolt among that class if

All of their assets go down so it has to stay afloat and if

You know if you can't get to work because

Gasoline is nine dollars a gallon. Well, you can just go kick rocks. Sorry. I think it it would be who of us all to remember

Especially with that and we've talked about it on here

It's not the entire world's supply that goes through that straight. It's a good chunk of it. Yes

20% but you're already seeing which is massive, but you're already seeing

Like I don't know if any of you guys have seen it, but there's a uh uh a screen grab of the like world ship

Tracker thing showing this massive line that spans the globe

Of tankers rerouting to the Gulf of Mexico. I'm not saying Gulf of America because it ain't the fucking Gulf of America

Um, yeah, that is the hope that they can they can ramp up production elsewhere

Yeah, but it does feel like there's gonna be a little bit of a bubble that will have to account for it either way

Uh, and so I think that just feels a little odd that you would be um, it's that the market would be rallying at that

But we'll see maybe it's it's again. It's uh and I guess I should kind of retract and say that it's not

It doesn't mean that we're out of the woods and that there's no cause for concern. I think that just

It's perhaps um

I don't know hope I hopefully not going to be

As prolonged and as disastrous as uh some might think well the fun thing is we'll get to find out in about seven to ten days

Yeah, I think I forgot which strategy like I do want to be clear like there is a lot of turmoil in in these Asian countries

I think people are like oh that's very far away and and whatever were immune to that like

Some pretty

Horrible stories of things reverberate around the world and um so

Well in other news uh trump tweeted a photo of himself as uh Jesus Christ

Literally Jesus Christ

He thought he was a doctor. I don't know if you guys saw this but it's fucking bananas and it's I think it must have been made in part with AI

I mean because the fighter jets when you zoom in look really weird and psychotic

But then uh his response was um

Pure gold if you go back to the dock and click his uh

His response he was asked about it um during this door-dash stunt

And let's hear what old Donnie T had to say about it

Mr. President, did you post that picture on yourself to put it as Jesus Christ?

Well, it wasn't to picture it was me. I did first it and I thought it was me as the doctor

And had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker there which we support and

Only the fake news could come up with that one so I had I had uh

I just heard about it and I said how did they come up with that

It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better and I do make people better. I make people

A lot better as an example

Actually sound of piss Donald Trump's piss. I am surprised he covering every mega

uh

Devoted it just right there's just going

Just piss more piss sir

I have some ice I mean that's a Red Cross worker

Come on. I was surprised. They didn't blame someone. That's like usually blame the media

He said only the only the fake news could come up with that. I did post it

I'm surprised to even cop to that first. He said it's not a picture. I did post it

That is a picture he did post it

And then he said uh yeah, he said that guy could be a doctor

Sure

Hey guys, we gotta take a quick break. I'm talking to you about mud water, baby mud water, you know

Before I discovered this mud water stuff

Man, you couldn't even talk to talk about it. I don't talk to me before I've had my coffee

Try not to talk to me before I had my mud water now because even with coffee I was struggling with all all the things brain fog

groggyness

But and you know all these functional mushrooms everybody's talking about seem to be all the hype right now

So I did some research and I stumbled upon mud water

I'm sensitive to caffeine and this stuff is it's just perfect man

It's uh if you love coffee you're gonna love this stuff the taste to smell the ritual

But if caffeine kind of sends you into an anxiety spiral me. I'm super sensitive

That's why mud water's new low calf coffee has been such a relief. It's it's made with organic

Arebacca

Arabic thank you. Thank you my man coffee beans

El Thienine and functional mushrooms like lions main and quarter steps

So it still tastes like actual coffee not like someone described coffee to a machine

Enough to feel awake and dialed in without the jitters crash or emotional roller coaster and I think them for that

Yeah, man every single ingredient mud water's products are 100% USDA certified organic non-gmo gluten free vegan and kosher

They got something for everybody. There's also zero sugar and no sweeteners added each ingredient in mud water serves a purpose

And folks their new coffee sits at 45 milligrams caffeine because research shows that low doses of caffeine support focus mood

And reaction time to use mud water. Why don't you simply drop the powder into your favorite mug pour some water on it and give it a mix

You can go wild add some creamer some honey or even CBD

I like to I like to do a little bit of what do you call that the almond milk? Yeah

So if you're ready to make the switch to cleaner energy head to mud water.com and grab your starter kit today right now

W T R dot com after your purchase the last guy you found them. Please show your support and tell him we sent you

Uh, it's just and it's it's I mean he really is a genius. He's got it on lock

He's just on autopilot when he talks like this because he single-handedly made it the media's fault

Which is enough to like make it the narrative

It wasn't the the fake news media. It was literally everybody being like hey, this is psychotic

The reason he took it down was because I think his own followers were

Oh, yeah, some of them pissed about the the

Depiction of him as Jesus. Yeah, and then the spooky like weird angel fucking. I mean, it's all there's can be

It's yeah, there's gonna be so many

Historians are gonna have a field day between

Just just all these nobody's gonna believe them change

And

Fake images and then the very real did you see the images with him of and the videos of him with the Easter bunny?

Yes, I mean what was threatening you're on 50 years from now you're learning about this in school and you're just watching a video

Trump his crazy wife

The Easter bunny in the whole suit and him just talking about Iran that videos of him talking to the kids about

Joe Biden's auto pen and they're like, huh? I just

Fans of history rejoice. It's it's a fun. It was very fun and entertaining to see

Jack Pasobic and like Mike Cernovich just still still

These these guys who are like supposedly devout Catholics and our our major major Catholic guys

Just running defense for him because also he was he was

Trashing the Pope so not only did Donald Trump trash the Pope the leader the ultimate Catholic

They're like quarterback of the Catholics. Would you say but his Trump Catholic? I don't know if he's got no

But these guys certainly are and they're like oh, so now the Pope is suddenly immune from criticism

What I mean

I truly don't know what it would take for these guys at this point there. It's just so pathetic

I don't know the I don't know the denomination of Christian of all these guys

Well, and then let's pull up some like because the the Pope was saying oh no, he's

Presbyterian. It's all your sort of it and yes, yes, Catholic. They're like Roman Catholic

Yeah, Catholics are the Jews of Christians, right?

Why do you say that? They're like they're ostracized

um

There are definitely a smaller

Like Christians are this many Catholics of this many. I don't think that's true Catholicism was like his huge the

Christianity yeah, it was like all of the power was concentrated within the Pope and

uh and the whole

Infrastructure that went along with that and then you know the Protestant Reformation

It'd be awesome to be the place. So I wouldn't say there that you I don't know

I also don't know in what way you're saying that. I mean just like they're they're the the

scapegoat 20% of us adults

Identifies Catholic with the significant growing and increasingly diverse population good for them

Uh, let's play that second video because the door dash grandma was the other thing that's all coincided with this

They had this they tried it out this uh former smoker um

um

She's known as the door to ask grandma. She's got a shirt that says it and boy

Howdy if this ain't just the

Ultimate representation of um this entire white house is having someone who should be retired and enjoying her grandkids

but she's got to work

menial

gig worker job

Just to make ends meet she's also the one they tried out for all this kind of thing. Yeah, so hopefully they're they're giving her a little bit of money

But here she comes delivering McDonald's to president fat

Just knocking on the wall. Hey Donald. Hey Donald

Wow nice to see you. I got a little door dash

He looks drunk

The reason for this is the fact that I heard you picked up an extra $11,000 at the end again because the tax bill was so big

The refund is the biggest you ever had

Apparently that's all bullshit too with the with the amount she makes she wouldn't even get taxed on

This this skip to the second video where because it's just too good and we'll get to the AI stuff right after this

They want to have men playing in women's sport. Do you think that men should play in women's sports?

I really don't have an opinion on that you don't know. No. No. I'm here about his list. There's tax on tips

I do hope Democrats watching this realize it can at least realize this is a loser for them

Like no one gives a shit about this and you're falling into the trap like he's doing this uh

He's doing this presser for it and he's trying to go to her and she's just like

I honestly don't even fucking think about that shit and he's like I bet you do

That's what we all think about it's one of our most popular things and I love that you can't really hear it

But uh, he says you don't I bet you do and she says now I'm here about and he says pizza

And then she goes no tax on tips

Let's see if we can hear it

I bet you do

Oh shit

opinion on that you don't know but you do

Oh, I'm here about

Your tax on tips

pizza

What a strange fucking just fucking you Donald Trump you you I just man. I hope you die sir

Oh god good god can't wait until he fucking dies

Oh anyway speaking of death

Hmm

Increased violence in the world of uh AI artificial intelligence um

Sam Altman's house got attacked twice

Uh the the the first one was was last week the second one was early Sunday morning when these two absolute dingbat moron fuckos

Amanda Tom was 25 and Muhammad Hussein 23 pulled up to his house and shot a gun at it

They haven't been like totally clear about

They were probably going to do it. Yeah, it's it's weird. They they haven't apparently he's got a prior record for

Shooting again. No

purchasing uh purchasing tobacco products for a providers for like an undercover minor

So that guy's kind of cool actually

Oh, you're 17 you want me to buy you cigarettes? I got you

Who among us hasn't played hey mister

Oh, that's what oh, yeah, that's uh, did you play hey mister? No, I had a fake ID brother

When you were what 18?

Did you ever try to drink before you were 18?

I didn't really care about it. I was smoking weed dude

Okay, or not even that. I don't think anything. I was old enough to buy cigarettes. So yeah my my cool neighbor

Would have cigarettes he would have new ports and I would go over there and smoke new ports

Well, we're doing hey mister more for the booze not the damn not the alcohol

Well, these people are stupid stupid people and they deserve to go to jail because if you shoot your gun at anybody's house

That's a crime brella. You're going to jail brella

Not only that but hey, you're you're you're you're going up to

The the number one AI guy's house you don't think why are we starting with the second one that is much because I'm just getting it out of the way

Because the cameras the security cameras

You don't think they drove up in their own car what they didn't even bother covering or removing the license plates

So the cameras got it. They were arrested like moments later

Just total idiots

And yes, Sam Altman wrote about the first one on his blog. Let's pull that up

He uh, he did this uh, he starts it with a photo of himself and his husband with their baby

By the way when he I hate this

What you hate?

Yes, look at the first line here's a photo of my family. I love them more than anything. It's just like

Well, that's well, let's continue here. Let's see what he has to say

Images have power. I hope normally we try to be pretty private

But in this case, I'm sharing a photo in the hopes that it might dissuade the next person from throwing them all the top cocktail at our house

No matter what they think about me. He's trying to

He's humanizing himself. No, I know, but it's it's I think it's just a little bit of a prop

Fully and a little cheap when it's like look I

Well, I feel like we're getting ahead of ourselves. I feel like we should get into what happened before we get into all these all my feelings about it

But because it feels weird to talk about it without talking about the actual thing

Uh, well, I just wanted to pull this one quote from it

He said the fear and anxiety about AI is justified. We are in the process of witnessing the largest change to society in a long time and perhaps ever

And he talks about what he believes in that you know working toward prosperity for everybody all this stuff

um

It is funny when he tweeted this blog out. I was looking at some of the replies on Twitter

And one of them was some mega guy who was like

I'm very sorry that it happened, but I do not believe that two gay men should have a child you rented a woman's womb

And that's just a sin

Y'all have those guys in their consistency. Oh, yeah, yeah

But so this uh the Molotov cocktail guy

Was charged with attempted murder. His name is Daniel Alejandro Moreno gamma

allegedly

allegedly

This is from the San Francisco standard boy. They really nailed it with this uh this this piece about it because they've got

this guy

Dead to rights man. He's on security camera footage. He's from Texas. He came to San Francisco

allegedly allegedly

Um because you know, yeah allegedly throwing a fire bomb at San Mom and Tom

I

Another moron through it at the security gate. First of all

What do you think you're throwing it in a fucking rot iron gate? I know they just like famously not flammable

They just like put out the flammable and it's immediately put out because they've got 24 seven security the guys a billionaire

And also sir you are on camera doing this here. Let's scroll down

So as as we're going as I'm going through this article

It's wild like so here's they've got footage of him pacing outside his hotel room just hours before the attack

He's clearly like hyping himself up like fuck shit

What am I doing? What am I gonna do holy shit?

Oh, you don't know as a pacer. I'm a pacer. I have oh, oh you pace I pace so doesn't mean I'm about to do an attack

No, but then they they well scroll up. He didn't come back to his hotel room the that next morning and

His housekeepers for the hotel went in and they saw

Um a laptop and a gun because he had a gun. So that's when they called the police

But apparently after he did the Molotov cocktail he tried to use to chair to try to break the windows

Of the open AI office again. This is like not during office hours. So there's nobody there

And he and he apparently threatened to kill everyone inside. He said he wanted to quote burn it down and kill anyone inside

Brother that one's hard. That one's hard to

He also had a three-part manifesto

Um

All about the risk that AI poses to humanity and he advocated for killing the CEOs of AI companies and their investors

Um

Folks don't do this kind of thing. I just got to say don't

Don't do this. You're just going to ruin your life. They there's nothing to be gained from this

They don't have they haven't released his manifesto. They've been talking about but did you

Did you see his sub-stack uh

No, well, I did yeah, but I didn't read it but according to NPR

Okay, he part of part of his thing was released or maybe this is from his sub-stack

But according to NPR he wrote

Also, if I'm going to advocate for others to kill and commit crimes

Then I must lead by example and show that I am fully sincere in my message

This is an unwell person man. Look at look at this security camera footage of him and black and white chuck in the um allegedly chucking the Molotov cocktail

But yeah, his sub-stack was called but but Larry and jihanna. No, that was his uh, that's his Instagram

Excuse me

his

There he is. He's just Daniel sub-stack

And uh, oh, it's just his name. Yeah, Daniel. I read a good amount of this stuff. It's oh they might have already taken it down

No, I still have it here

Um some some interesting stuff I would say on the sub-stack. He's definitely 20

I would say

Give the guy a little more time to develop his voice and stuff because there were some real clonkers in some of these

But that there was a moment of of

of nice

Flowery writing I would say in some of these things

Well, I said I say it's it's a shame he threw his life away on this because we could have had a real uh

Hey guys, we got to take a quick break to talk to you about

He also

allegedly the third part of his manifesto

Addressed Sam Altman directly and he said if by some miracle you live

Then I would take this as a sign from the divine to redeem yourself

He also doesn't call him Sam Altman. I think he calls him victim one. Oh my

Victim one. I think I

Why why is that? Well, it's just fucking psycho go go back to the

So he's not directly naming the filing but it describes victim one as the chief executive of a research company that deploys and develops artificial intelligence and operates in interstate and foreign commerce

Your last warning in the first section of the document your last warning he stated to he's

Trying to kill slash attempt to kill victim one. He's saying it like that. He's trying to kill or don't to kiss

Sound a little bit of fun

Just having a little bit of fun trying to like to kill or attempt to kill

It's any staff and then he also listed the names and addresses of several additional AI executives

Board members and investors

Can you click the link Luke that says stories right under the Instagram one because someone

Screen shot at some of his Instagram stories. Let's let's cook that he's got this trend line of coding tasks

AI can do and he wrote if we do nothing very soon. We will die. I'm very sure of that

Let's scan through these next one

This is just a collection of

News headlines and articles and he wrote being right all the time fucking sucks when it's about the worst things imaginable

I mean guys got a little bit of delusions of

Granger here and this is a layup case man. He's going away for a long time. What's the next one? Oh?

He's got a bend diagram

The matrix terminator and idiocracy and you're right in the middle. Yeah, I mean, I don't disagree with that

I mean, so that's the thing. Yeah, that's this is another one. It's a it looks like some kind of it's from law fair

It's AI might let you die to save itself and

This is kind of my point

I don't know anything about the guy. Obviously I have there's very little to go off of but

He might be a little extreme. I don't know if he's I don't know if he's like crazy. I think he might be a little bit internet poison

Yeah

But I don't know if he's crazy. He might feel desperate and that's kind of the thing

I wanted to get at with the with the same Altman post is like

That's not really the point. He doesn't care if you have a husband and a child. You know what I mean? I think

As you already said he himself

Said it will not all go well the fear and anxiety about AI is justified. We're in the process of witnessing the largest change society in a long time and perhaps ever and

As someone like myself who's doing

Their best to just like stay sane among this whole AI arms race thing

It's bizarre. I mean has there ever been a

Moment in time like this before where you know Titans of industry

They literally come out

I don't know every month and they look like dead in a camera and they go

You know best case scenario it takes your job worse case scenario it kills you

We don't know we're doing our best we're we're trying yeah and

And everyone's just supposed to be like oh cool like

What's that gonna do to an impressionable 20-year-old who hears it and is like oh you guys are telling us what's it gonna do to anyone?

No, I'm a person like you know and you're taking it already

Economically depressed population. We have a very large population of people in this country who are not in good economic conditions

And you're telling them these things like even

Even

Even the jobs that you considered bad well at least they were jobs

But we're actually doing our best to make those go away too. I mean you're being flooded with the images

I'm sure you seen the the Indian factory workers wearing the

Cameras placed on their head so that the robots

We'll have data to see

So again, this is not and please don't mistake me. This is not any kind of like defense of the matter

You know defense of the actions or

Anything like that

I think that what Sam Altman was doing is trying to remind people and would be copycats that he is a person

It's not I saw it less as like a cop out and more just like hey just a reminder

I'm not just some faceless evil corporate whatever you might think of me

I am a person who loves and has all that stuff too. I think that's what his aim was

Yeah, but I just don't think that is a good way to lead when people have like very real grievances about the things that you're

Sure, I mean, I think that when it's like the say it's like you know

We went through this with the Luigi Manjani thing

Who we don't know if he did that so I want to be clear about that was an alleged thing

But it's the same thing with like what's his name Brian Johnson?

Brian Thompson maybe Thompson

You know that man had a family and like you know

but it

Obfuscates the fact that these people are

Very

willing participants in these systems that cause a lot of harm downstream of them and then um, you know don't want to face

Any kind of consequence. Well, I don't think anybody wants to be killed

By

By judge Jerry an executioner of some guy

I certainly wouldn't want to be

You're saying they don't want to they don't want to reap the consequences. It's like sure there are consequences

But there's consequences and then they're just like getting shot in the back. They're insulated

From sure from the system that they participated in that emiserates people. Yeah, and they don't they don't

Take part in any of the they don't share in any of the consequences. They create they create or any of the

effects

That run downstream. I'm not saying they want to be killed right right. I'm just saying

You can't have these like horrible gnarly systems

And then not expect people to you know, it's we're gonna talk about the warehouses and stuff too

Whether or not

There is a real pattern there or not. I think people are making a pattern online

Um, and that's another that can I put it in there? Can you put that AI found her shocked by the comments thing on

The screen so click her profile real quick this woman Paula. I when I first thought I didn't realize she was so she's playing with words creating whimsical AI

She built iOS apps for X AI Spotify and co founded uh, oh, that's another AI technology education for the age of AI and she posted this thing

Where she said I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw

This comment section on Instagram and just click some of those so we can see

So people are commenting about the news story about Sam Altman's house being hit with a Molotov cocktail and

People said I hope that Molotov cocktail is okay. Where can we support their bail fund? Please nobody throw another Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman's house

Which is pictured here that would be easy to find now since you now since you know which neighborhood it's in

I love how collectively fed up the working classes actually that man and me were having dinner. He was never there

And it's just all these do it do it again. I missed it new love language just dropped sir your home is on an active landslide

The people are tired in other news. I had a bagel for breakfast

Doing God's work more more more. I hear who is born. No, he was with me all night at the bar. Let him go damn

It didn't work damn free him and it's just so awesome. That's where he lives is the Molotov cocktail. Okay. This should be a nightly occurrence

One ain't gonna cut it arrested for allegedly throwing a Molotov

Molotov at due task we have to we have yet to know if the person they arrested did the crime or just took the fall

So the calm man won't realize you can you can just throw Molotovs at millionaires mansions obviously very

reminiscent of the Luigi sentiment

Of people just very fed up again. I don't

I don't advocate for this. I don't think it's a good thing. I just think more than anything. I think there needs to be a reckoning of

What it means to to live in a society with such

Lopsided income inequality plus

People building these technologies that could

Further exacerbate the problem or potentially kill us. I was I was seeing some takes about a G.I

yesterday and

It's funny because yeah a lot of these

A lot of what we're seeing is

The conversation is gearing toward oh yeah

If it does get to that point where where all these people will be out of work and stuff. We'll just do an AGI thing

Oh, no, no, sorry. You're thinking

UBI I think oh sorry. Yeah, sorry. Thank you. Thank you. UBI UBI universal is a very different universal basic income

Like everybody's gonna be and they're like everybody will be free to do their thing and I saw some like

Well thought out articulated pushback that was essentially

I don't want to a lot people glean

Satisfaction from their work. They glean a sense of purpose from their work. It's

It is a it's a nice thought that everybody can just be retired or whatever this utopic utopia

That you're imagining, but I mean just imagining for myself

I wouldn't want to just feel like cool. I collect my government

Check

What's gonna happen to my kids or my grandkids are we just all gonna be like

Trapped in this permanent state of getting our

UBI checks so that we can what like scroll on our phones and

Like what's the end goal here? It reminds me there was another there was an article that just got published today

I I wish I had bookmarked it, but it was about how a lot of retirees

Are finding themselves wasting their days on social media and they're just like that's a glimpse into what a potential future

Like this would be it's just people like when they have no purpose when they have no

When they have no boss not okay, I don't mean how this sounds

But that's what the article was saying. I'm paraphrasing. It's like when you've got nobody to tell you

To give you structure when you've got no responsibilities

There's it becomes a very very slippery slope especially when you've got the drug

I held up my phone. I saw that article. I also have a different view of it. I think uh

I think that the UBI I think

What it whether it's UBI or some

It would have to be a complete overhaul of everything, you know, if we went this route

I don't think I don't think you need a

Traditional job type thing to have any meaning in your life. I think I think there's a world in which

We can solve resource scarcity and people can live

valuable lives without

Without jobs, which is uh, that doesn't mean there will be no labor. You can choose to

Expand your labor and whatever where you want

I think my problem is it you know it reminds me of when we had

What was that guy's name Chris something the

Yeah, yeah the the robot investor guy and

I always feel like if you bring this stuff up you're like oh you're you're a you're a lot

I you hate tech you're like anti-progress whatever and it's like no, I'm just curious like

What the actual plant? I think you know this like tech optimist thing is like

Oh, well, we'll just do it and it just solves everything and like poor people will be great and you're like yeah

But how because that's never happened before right? We've been promised this many times uh, so

When people are like oh, we'll just do UBI. I'm like with what

With what yeah, are you gonna tax the corporations? Yeah, who famously love being tax?

They're gonna fucking put you in a meat grinder and use you use your body for fuel

I mean like surely give you the bare minimum necessary right so that's

Yeah, my bigger problem is that there's no

There's no broad

public

support for

Movement for for ordinary people to be

ushered into a

dignified life if if this happens. I think it it more looks

Like what we're seeing is people being thrown out of out of jobs

Uh, you know, you wanted to talk about the Waymo thing where it's like yeah, that's a perfect example of like

You know, we've had so many problems with

the uberification of cities where

people who are already

hanging on by a thread uber coming in and

forcing them to get on that app and then then being in complete control of their

wages and stuff

now

They're trying to get that goes way mo to come into the to the city and kick people off of that it's like

Yeah, it's a very tricky

precarious situation we're in here

Hey guys, we got to take another quick break to talk to you about super power

I was thrilled to work with super power because uh as you know

You go to the doctor. You're wondering what the heck they even do

They're smoking cigarettes. They don't even the guy smoking cigarettes for some reason

He tells you he tells you it's okay, but you're like what did you even test?

Give me no information

And then super power reached out they're giving you your

Real age according to your actual physical health they take over 100 biomarkers

They're telling you all kinds of stuff you didn't even know about

So you can actually be keeping up with your health what your body needs

What you need to be doing to stay healthy. Yeah, they've got an app with detailed information on your heart liver thyroid hormones

Metabolism vitamin and mineral levels and even environmental toxins

So from disease prevention to treating that annoying brain fog or simply optimizing your gym game super power

Is the most comprehensive and advanced system out there they don't just give you a one-time snapshot folks

It tracks your results over your lifetime each test builds on the last

So you can actually see progress you have to year instead of starting over every dang January

They've got an on-demand care team to answer questions as well instead of waiting this year doctor or google what things mean

So uh, they give you access to high-end concierge level care for only $199 and

179 with our discount. That's more affordable than anything else out there other testing services charge you

500 bucks a thousand dollars sometimes even a million dollars

So make this the year you stop guessing about your health with super power not only did super power reduce their price to just

$199 but for a limited time our listeners get an additional 20 bucks off with code bays

So head to superpower.com and use code bays. It check out for 20 bucks off your membership after you sign up

They'll ask how you heard about them so make sure to mention this podcast is a portable show

Here's what I think I think that a lot of these AI people have really

fucked up and fumbled

The way that they communicate this stuff to the broader

masses because obviously

The vast majority of us are not tech savvy. We don't understand this stuff. I don't. I'm constantly

being shown and ping-ponged around by perceived experts on both sides who say

The mythos thing is a perfect example. We talked about this on our on our call yesterday where

On the one hand you've got anthropic saying we're

this time

Trust us which they've been saying since chat gpt 3.0 and even I was as a pretty level-headed guy. I was like a little bit nervous

Yeah, I couldn't help but be like oh, what do you mean where they're they're like this thing is gonna ruin and I mean

I've been seeing it in the markets where every day when inthropic comes out with a new iteration of clawed that that kills some other section of the software

Economy you see the stocks act in kind and plummet. So I'm like, okay, maybe there is something to this

There's got to be otherwise the mark of the cyber security stuff. Yes, cyber security

Agentic AI killing, you know, fucking Atlassian or

Service now or you name it cloud flare

Fastly all these stuff snowflake. They're all just getting fucking taken to the woodshed

But then there are some people who come out and they're like an AI expert or a computer tech scientist or whatever

And they've got the credentials or so it seems and they say well hang on a second

Andthropic's only saying this because it's good PR and you have to take that into consideration too when you discuss all this stuff

So I'm trying to plug that into the mental calculus of trying to get a full comprehensive grasp on this whole thing

And I think that yeah, they've they've really fucked up by

Coming out and saying all of these things like oh, it's gonna be so disruptive and we we actually don't know what's gonna look like it

All we know is that

We've got to beat the next company and they're all we're all going neck and neck and if we stop then we'll fail

And then we also have to be China and they might get it and then they're gonna put Chinese in your head

And it's gonna be crazy

I mean plus the fact that the one who do understand it. Yeah, oftentimes like we get these weird

Letters of them being like um, I'm quitting anthropic because of what I've seen and I'm retiring to the Irish countryside to write poetry

A hunger family now

As someone who just like doesn't you like what should I do and then you've got the guy doing chat GPT who can't even

When he asks it like there I saw one that was uh, they were asking it

Hey, how many months contain the letter X and it goes October September right this this and he goes no

They don't he goes you caught me none of them have X but actually October does have an X if you look closely

And then he goes spell it out oh

C T O B E R

There you got me again

But then I go okay, I'm gonna kill that man

Oh, yeah, he's for sure gonna find and kill that guy, but I

So all that's to say is I think that it's a very stupid stupid stupid

Clearly obviously dangerous thing for them to come out and say these these maximalists

Uh, just like the the full imagining the full

Throated this is what could possibly happen and putting that out there as an narrative can scare the shit out of a fucking

Impressionable 20-year-old who's just coming into the world off the heels of covid

Um has probably little to no prospects and it has no hope. What do you think of course he's gonna fucking think this stuff?

It's very strange strategy. It's so it's really really really they all like ask each other

What's your p-dume like probably a probability of doomsday and it's like throw like 30% 50% 60%

It's like oh, yeah, I just imagine if like Steve jobs for the like

When he came out with the iPhone, he does his whole presentation and everything and then at the end

He's like also 60% 60% chance this thing fucking kills you. I don't know

We're gonna do that and one more thing because that's what he always did. Oh, and there's one more thing and he unveils

Science 60 it might fucking kill everybody

But if it doesn't we're gonna sell a hell of a lot more if it doesn't it's gonna take your job

Oh my god, I don't want one. We just kill Steve jobs

Yeah, that is funny

A popular narrative is like it could um it could kill everybody or it could take your jobs

But also you're a fucking Luddite

If you if you really believe that and you're against it. It's like make up your fucking. I don't think that's a popular narrative

That is like the narrative they come out and say it like Dario Amade like goes on popular podcast

Sam Altman, they're like they need a publicist. They need some 27-year-old girl who lives in Santa Monica

Who's good at this thing and it's like? Oh, no

With chewen or gum like no, what we need to do is like you guys need to walk that back

Yesterday, yeah, I'm I feel myself very conflicted about it all. I feel like I don't know what to believe there is

There are AI experts all across the spectrum. They're like people who worked for the autism spectrum. I mean, yes

But I'm gonna

The sexuality spectrum. They're they're across every spectrum that go on that

I'm blank in his name Eli something Kineser or something you know what I'm talking about

Maybe go on. He's that like very famous

AI Doomer. It's gonna fucking kill you AI expert. He has that whole

Whole organization dedicated to

Making sure it doesn't happen and then

You know, there's people who are like it's built at the

Yes, he's a good kowski. Kowski. Thank you. Oh, he's aliens or Shlomo. We got it. We got one

That's it is machine intelligence research and see meery

Uh, and then there's fucking there's obviously the complete end of the spectrum where it's going to usher in our wildest dreams and yeah

and our

End our need for labor and scarcity and

Don't stand in its way. I was the to to finish my original thought about this. I think that

I think that them being so

Exaggerated in these predictions. I it is again my hope as an as an optimist

I don't think that it's gonna end up that way. I think that ultimately these are going to be tools

For people and it depends like obviously a waymo situation is gonna be yeah, it's probably already is putting

Uh, gig worker drivers out of work um

But I don't think that

Or like my my friend Shane who's a copywriter lost his job and they replaced

They got rid of their entire. This isn't a movie trailer studio

They fired the entire uh copywriter department

No way. Yeah, I haven't I talked about that on here. Yeah, they got rid of the entire copywriter department now

It's just like the creative director and an a or the uh or the uh or the editors of the trailers

Just fucking ask AI for for copy for the for the movie trailers

I which I've talked about on the show how like I told a friend who was getting paid uh like a contract job

And he was having trouble. I was like teacher's feeding to AI. It's not

It's unfortunately works. I don't know or are we we both know someone

Google who has a very very good secure job there. He's one of the higher ups

Within one of the organizations and I've talked to him extensively about this and he says dude

It's made my job so much better and my ability to use it has actually

Kind of given me some job security because the ones who just you know

Plug their ears and close their eyes and pretend it doesn't exist are the ones who aren't going to stand out like I already am

Because I'm proving that I know how to use this tool. I'm using it effectively. I'm making myself more efficient there

By you know impressing my boss and my boss's boss blah blah blah. Yeah, but my so the the the economy is

Brought up or all kinds of different labor and that's what I'm saying like in some cases

Are gonna be fine. Yeah, and we'll probably use it as a tool. Yeah, I think the real worry is this immediate impact of

Okay, the waymo thing in that in that piece they're talking about

Like close to a million or maybe more jobs that could just be wiped out if yeah if those driver jobs are gone away and then

The big one when you know when Andrew Yang hit the scene with his whole UBI thing the big one he was talking about was

The automation of truck driving jobs because it's

It's like the number one employment for I think high school grads who didn't get a high school males who didn't get a college degree

I think I'd have to look it up don't go to drive the trucks. Don't go to be happy man

Um, so I mean what happens when you just

Knock out 10 million jobs. I suppose 12 million jobs. Yeah, I suppose the hope is that it would and then in a few years you're knocking out and you know, I just

Well

Yeah, I don't know and I don't think that anybody knows I think that all we can do is kind of and unfortunately

It happens gradually enough to where things can be implemented

Be it laws and regulations. I think that what would be a good thing is gonna do that

Chuck Schumer is gonna peer over his glasses. That's the biggest issue like I think if there was a

If we lived in a real functioning country who was

interested in

Taking on our biggest problems and coming up with solutions

You wouldn't you wouldn't see this kind of stuff. I think that's the thing if if there was a

There was a whole administration be like oh Jesus Christ. We're staring down the barrel of math of a mass unemployment situation here

We need to make sure we're prepared instead. You have you know mr. McDonald's

Doing his door desk

We don't like women women's sports

We don't like it when a man plays a woman's sport

Speaking of all of this. There's a movement that I did not even know existed called called pause AI

Um, and you go on their website here. Is it pause AI dot info? Yeah

Uh, let's go to their proposal if we click on there

They they their proposal is to by the way, so this guy the Molotov cocktail thrower was

He was part of the discord for pause AI, which then distance itself from him after the attack and they put out a statement saying that

Pause AI exists because we believe everyone deserves to be safe

Including Sam Altman who's loved ones violence against anyone is antithetical to everything we stand for

And I I went on to their website and it's very interesting. They are calling for a global pause

They're saying implementing a temporary pause on the training of the most powerful general AI systems

That's what they're looking for we do not expect countries or companies to risk their competitive advantage by pausing AI training runs for a

If other countries and companies do not do the same. This is why we need a global pause

They're saying that implementing a pause can backfire if it's not done properly

But they believe that their proposal would mitigate the most serious downsides. Can you click that link for mitigate the most serious downsides? I

Yeah, they

It leads to this other article where pausing too early could have issues

Yeah, I mean they're all less to say is they're very very thorough

So let's go back to that thing. Oh, yeah, they have a hole. I went through there frequently asked questions thing

They're suggesting a treaty the primary end goal of these they they're calling for summits

of getting the US and China involved setting up an international AI safety agency

I mean boy what an undertaking because I mean you're effectively asking

Capitalism itself to pause

because so much of this is

heavily weighted on

Now so many people's retirement accounts the very truckers and gig workers that we're talking about they're

401k's and IRA's if they've got that I don't think I don't think

For sure, dude, but they don't give the Uber drivers where I would

Hey guys, we got to take one last break. Thanks for sticking with us

Uh, I think that's like I've never been to uvoo jubber. You've never been to what uvoo jubber. What's the what do you think the percentage of Americans that

Owned stocks is

I am going to say 65% of Americans own stocks

Let's see

62% wow

Own stock whether through individual stocks mutual funds are self directed uh

401k's or Roth IRA's

totaling about 167 million people however

Ownership is heavily concentrated with high income college educated

And older Americans more likely to hold investments. I mean that checks out obviously checks out

And it's still 70% of white adults own stock guys. We're winning. We just keep winning. I mean those are stark numbers

Yeah 53% of black adults and 38% 38% of Hispanic adults

Well, uh, I mean a pause would certainly yeah

Uh, tank the stock market. That's for sure. I mean, yeah

They might tank it themselves if they can't land the plane

Uh, let's see they're they're calling for

Enforcement of the treaty requires the US in China to back it with their economic and military power if the leaders of both nations

Understand the severity of the risks of AI they will see the success of the treaty is in their own interests

If a safe superhuman AI is created the AI itself will be used

By the AI essay to enforce the treaty interesting. How could we ever know it safe? I know

Well, so if you create the superhuman thing

Why is it not just gonna lie to you and you know like women do am I right? I know

We've lived with women long enough to know. All right. We're never gonna

We're never gonna be what if it just wants to lay around and eat hot chips and lie

Yeah, there's nothing we can do. There's nothing we can do

Uh, I do find it interesting that these pause AI people are not against

AI and the proliferation of AI they are very much like

On board with it what they aren't on board with is the speed and perceived recklessness of the way that things are going

I mean, I would say that's about where I fall. I don't I don't like as I was saying

I'm not trying to be this like I'm anti-progress. I just think there's this

You can feel that this is being done in a way that's having

Deleteerious effects on the population just

Even things that you know don't even get brought up like

Like artists there's just that woman she went kind of viral because her

her music

got

trained on some data from whatever and then they started basically like creating music off of her music that they fed into it and she couldn't even

Make copyright claims and it's just all across the board. It's taking

It's taking people's abilities to

Make a livelihood

Did you see what Diplo had to say about I did watch that. I thought that that was interesting

It also makes an interesting perspective. I'm not saying no

I mean it also but like that point especially makes me nervous about

Young people as well a big part of his point was that like I have the historical

context yeah, I got to grow up without it

And we're kind of the same way. I've used it to like research things and been like

That doesn't feel right because of what I know

But if you go into it without any of that be a cool beat

Whereas he can be like make me a beat like this producer from the 70s

Yeah, that's effectively what he was saying for those who missed it

He was just saying it is here. It is coming. It is inevitable. You can either

Learn to use it and use it or not use it

But if you choose not to use it behind you might get left behind

But I think that point about his of like

We have an advantage being part of the old head generation. I do think we haven't suddenly being uncle's cool

I think we have an advantage in so many ways like I couldn't even imagine what

What being a young person is like now with all these with all these things

It came up a little bit like because we briefly talked about this stuff on the live and

Or maybe it was the warehouse fire and I was talking about you know how yeah people just feel

I think a lot of desperation and and not a lot of hope for the future and just a bunch of things

A bunch of comments coming into the chat like I'm 22. I feel this way. I'm 20. I feel this way. I'm 23. I feel this way

So I have no idea what this guy's

Mindset is like but I do worry that there's going to be more and more people who feel that desperation and desperate people

Do sometimes

Desperate things. I do want to also go over the fact again that I mean

I think that it's very easy for us to be present-minded and feel like it is unprecedented and unlike any other time before and it is in many ways but

Speaking of speaking to the oh my god

I'm fucked kind of mentality

Is definitely not new

Or or unique like there and also I will say there were some people who were hopeful which is good

I'm very glad for that but I was fucking

Dude when I was 26 and I wasn't working and I was like depressed and I felt like what the fuck am I going to do with my life

That in itself is just a very normal but did that feel very personal to you or did you have like a more

Existential broad

There's a little bit of both. I mean it was coming off the heels of the recession

Um and feeling like whoa I guess I should it was kind of before the peak of oh I guess I should learn how to code

That's kind of what I was thinking is like I guess I was looking that funny. They told everyone to code

I was learning I was looking into like coding boot camps because I knew a girl who's now a magician by the way

The the coding to magic pipeline is very real

I well, I knew she had done one of these coding boot camps and got a job

And it was paying or you know 80k a year or something like that and I thought oh maybe I'll do that

But I mean ask your ask your if you're older and you've got gen X or boomer parents ask them what it was like for them growing up

you know there was

There's always been

I mean we really we had it the worst we had 9 11

I don't think we even we had the recession we had covid

I and they're still living with the effects of that that that's the thing I think like there have been so many things that have

Been come compounding this moment. I think

It's not just AI. It's everything. It's the affordability crisis. There was that I was telling you about that

New York Times thing the death of the basic American car

And it basically goes through

How used to be able used to be able to get these cheap reliable cars

Uh

And now if you if you there's very limited options for under 25 grand and well 15 grand adjusted for inflation

It was about 2100 bucks for a for one of these like

70s or 80s Honda civics whatever they are

um

Adjusted for inflation that was 15 grand

Now you're very lucky if you can even find a car for under 25 grand usually you're paying 30 or over and the average

the average

New car price is 50 grand which is insane yeah and

I was looking at that

article and I'm very interested in the New York Times comment section

I bring this up all the time because I find they're just like the most

Deadfast like normy damn voter and I'm just always curious what the so I always go to the readers pick

Which is basically the most popular comment with the most thumbs-ups

uh

But I was honestly only going

To see what people wanted out of cars and stuff like that. I was just curious

and

The very first one was can we please stop pretending that everyone in America is middle class?

I get that middle class as a cultural not an economic category and that being middle class as a matter of personal dignity and identity

But in a service economy you are no longer middle class just because you run a little Caesars

And working class if you are a plumber you are a part of a precarious proletariat that barely keeps its head above water

median person median personal income in the US is lower than most of the developed world

And unless you belong to the top 25 percent life in the US is harder and less affordable than in pure countries

Sure taxes in Europe and elsewhere might be higher

But Americans have to pay much more for health care education than other

Than other first worlders who usually enjoy better schools and Medicare medical care than their American counterparts in short

America is not the middle class society claims to be

Life for a large majority of Americans is a more stressful and precarious than in other rich countries

Unless Americans drop their jingoistic exceptionalism and take a cold hard look at their society

Meaningful reform cannot even begin and that was the top comment with 2.6,000 recommends before like this was when I screenshot it

Damn dude. I thought it was gonna say can we please stop pretending that we want cars with screens

Well, that's what's very funny and so I was like god damn people so I went to the next one

I was like that one's probably about cars and then it was

Another article about the same thing have the fundamentally extractive US

Economy is making a middle-class existence impossible. There's only one solution a fundamental shift in how we pay for the foundations of society from labor to capital capital

Close the loopholes you make money here you pay tax the rich

And I was like what the fuck is going on? It wasn't until a couple down till I saw someone being like we need to stop with all the bells and whistles

How would we just like that's when I thought the top comments you made and I was like they do need to stop with all the damn bells and whistles and

Perfected cars like 15 years ago. Stay there like Toyota did it's a coma 2003 perfect truck

We just green we got to make it bigger so you can't see children if you want to hit them

But that's not even true like because in China. They're coming up with these electric vehicles that are blowing people away

That cost a fraction of what it costs to get a new American car

Uh, and so yeah, just like I'm looking around and I'm getting very nervous about

The sentiment or you know in the country we we already talked about the

The is it University of Michigan that does that sentiment study that um

That has been tracking and it's like at lowest in in um

Since the studies inception and I'm just like god damn the New York Times is like

We need to we need to

How you're a proletariat who's being living the precarious lifestyle. I'm like whoa. Yeah, there's a

There's a palpable and we we hardly talked about it to the

The warehouses thing. I just want to clarify

There's a sentiment online not sentiment. It's almost like a false narrative where

Okay, that guy burned down that toilet paper warehouse, which we talked about

And he said that thing about pay us a living wage and this wouldn't happen whatever

people are taking

Old

warehouse fires and footage from it and

Scribing this narrative to it. Yes, but end ones that may happen which have been

Unconfirmed why or whether it's arson or it could just be some kind of electrical fire whatever

um

And I'm sure you've seen it. There's this weird like

Though you know like living wages save factories or whatever or like or like

Just the footage of a burning factory and like

All you had to do was pay us a living wage and it's like oh, we shit. I think it's I think it's uh

I mean the the twitter thing is kind of a good representation of this entire new media

economy which is that

um

Emotions and grabby headlines drive clicks, which is what ultimately pays for the entire thing

Whereas he used to just be you tune in and watch the news or you got the fucking newspaper and I'm it

Really was

We really had it all man. We really did

We really had it all. Yeah, I'm torn on this. I don't think it's good for people to like have a constant stream of information

But I also do think there's been

I think there's been a real breakdown in the ability for

Manufacturing consent and

Elite to kind of feed you narratives. I think oh man. It's

But it's a double edged short. I think people have been completely internet poisoned and and like

Maybe don't believe anything anymore. They're like oh, well, that's that's because I blah

But I hate blah blah, dude. I think blah blah is always getting in the way. I think

Before it was much harder to

See through

Because it's all immediate dude. They like

With the war

Trump tries to say something and we're all going

Dude, I'm looking at the fucking thing. What are you talking about? That's not that's clearly not what happened or he can say something and

The the leader of the Iranian parliament can just be like now that actually didn't happen without meeting with him

You know, we're issuing a correction speaking of

folks, I highly recommend that you

Google Ashley St. Clair

And it'll surely pop up this video of her recently. She is for those who don't know or remember she's

Elon Musk's latest

Baby mama. How many kids is he up now?

Probably but she famously had a child with Elon Musk and she's kind of

Freed herself from the matrix so to speak. She's an American influencer

Author and political commentator. She's a book. What the fuck is that elephants are not what oh birds?

Probably an anti-trans thing because she became known as an outspoken proponent of conservative and anti-transgender

politics uh in 2025 she revealed that she and Elon Musk had a child together. So anyway

In 2026 she denounced her anti-trans activism. What?

So

folks she put out this

10-minute video of her putting on makeup wherein she talks about

She spent nearly a decade in the mega sphere of influence

And she puts out this video that basically she's just pouring water over the entire thing

And she talks about how the whole mega influencer ecosystem works

I'm paraphrasing obviously you got to watch it for yourself, but it speaks to what you were just talking about

It's so I mean, it's what we all knew

But I mean just hearing it straight from the horse's mouth

um

She's saying how there's these

Chat groups where there's just influencers, but then there's also members of the administration billionaires you name it

And they're taking their orders from the tippy top. Well, that's what I was gonna say

She hears what we're gonna talk about and they get paid and when you brought up Surnavitch and the other guy

They're getting paid. There's a reason why they're doing fucking

You know cartwheels and pretzels

And she one of the things she brings up is the the way that they are paid

skirts the law in creative ways so that they're not disclosed

And it's just it's so simple, but it's so devastatingly effective

Because this is how narratives are born proliferated and you know

And take over the country

Sometimes like when it becomes the only thing that everybody seems to talk about it all comes from these little chat groups

and you know

For all her flaws and faults and previous

Awful things that I'm sure she said and done

It's awesome that she's coming out and saying all this and I hope that it gets a lot more attention because it's kind of it's

It's really pulling back the curtain

Yeah, but there is something about I didn't know about this like elephants or not

Does it elephants are not birds thing

I need some kind of I don't know. Maybe it's like very Catholic of me or something. I just need

With all these people any of the any of the comedians who did their Trump apology during 2024 and all that

You guys are welcome back. I just need like

So maybe like some kind of public humiliation. Oh, yeah, yeah, your shoulders has to walk around with this dick hanging out

Well

Self-flagilation I need to see it weights suspended from it. It's very

It's a very harmful

ecosystem they're participating in yeah, and you're right to I don't know. I don't know exactly what it looks like, but it just

I

I'm happy you change your mind. It's just very difficult for me to be like

Welcome back. Yeah, I don't like especially just seeing your fucking your fucking children's book of like yeah, it's like well

No, I denounce all that I like all right

That's great, and you know Joe Rogan's obviously doing his work. Can you believe all this? Yeah, can you believe they're doing?

This is wild Jamie pull that up. It's like yeah, we can believe it because literally everyone said it was gonna happen

You stupid like no, I'm smarter than all of you. Yeah, did I ever show you the um the video game character?

The Joe Rogan looks exactly like no, but just real quick click one of those like just what is a page like that look like what does it say on the page of

The elephant thought it was a bird, but it was wrong because elephants can't play bird sports

You laugh said culture

Culture culture voucher, but what would you rather sing songs or carry carts of food that's been gathered hmm

Is it true that I really love to sing maybe being a bird is actually my thing?

I yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Bob oh, man

Oh, let's round it out with this Elon Musk versus open AI thing. So just real fast

Elon Musk wants Sam Altman Sam Altman out as a CEO of open AI

He's looking to have him removed from his roles as part of his legal challenge to the company's conversion

To a for profit company. He wants a court order

Restoring so he wants to flat out fuck them. It's never gonna happen because they're worth eight hundred billion dollars

Yeah, fuck them the way he won't fuck these baby mamas. He's not he's not shipping to come. He's

inserting it right into

Couldn't say it better but good not to say it better is a that's what I was hoping to say, but you you took the words

He wants a court order to restore them to a nonprofit research organization

And he wants whatever damages are awarded to go to open AI's charitable arm and open AI

Clapped back

And they said quote the lawsuit remains nothing more than a harassment campaign that's driven by ego

jealousy and a desire to slow down a competitor

Certainly true a real a real let him fight moment. Yeah, it's that time fight. It's obviously

You you see Elon Musk and you're like, well, he's not wrong. You see Sam Altman's are like he's not wrong

Let him fight man

The real winners of the lawyers, but open AI also is asking California and Delaware attorneys general to

Investigate Elon and his associates for quote improper and anti-competitive behavior

And then finally I really like what open AI's chief strategy officer Jason Kwan said

They sent a letter

They said that the the lawsuit could undermine the company's efforts to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all humanity

Hey guys

This is actually gonna hurt

Humanity when you think about it. So like if you try to stop us and make us go back to being a nonprofit

You could be killing billions of people in doing so. So just something to think about just something to think about when you try to

You know make us proceed with caution and walk back our p-dume statements, okay? Yeah, you could be fucking humanity

You 70-year-old judge old ass. Don't understand this shit ass

Did the other thing I meant to bring up you can just lie to old people. I didn't even know it

I think it was on the live you were like because we were talking about the data centers. I think in the mama centers. Yeah, and

You were like well the thing that would bother me is the noise yeah

And I looked it up

And there's all these videos of people, you know sitting on their porch

Used to be quiet out here. It's a bird's chirp now. Here's this humdrum noise going on. It's not a low, huh

I hear it all the time

They're actively driving people nuts. Yeah. Yeah, if I lived next to that I would uh, I would nuts me drivel

You know, I might ask Claude how you make a Molotov cocktail if you don't know. Yeah

It's really easy. I don't think you need to have I'm joking. It's just a it's just an alternate phrase. Yeah

Data centers are making people sick
