I don't know why that's even a thing. 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:48.659 It almost pisses me off every time I hear them 00:00:48.659 --> 00:00:50.560 like, I'm not doing it then. You told me what 00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:53.600 to do. No, I do it. If it's cool, I'm like, yeah, 00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:56.079 man. I'm going to hook you up.

I'm going to start 00:01:01.250 --> 00:01:06.409 doing it too, just like you. But yeah, we seriously 00:01:06.409 --> 00:01:11.450 do this podcast audio only, and we also do full 00:01:11.450 --> 00:01:13.930 videos, deep dives and put that on YouTube videos. 00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:17.489 Yeah, because I think Rams and tick tocks. I 00:01:17.489 --> 00:01:20.689 don't even bother on Instagram because it's I 00:01:20.689 --> 00:01:23.810 don't know. It annoys me when I upload it on 00:01:23.810 --> 00:01:26.900 Facebook and all that stuff. So. Mostly YouTube 00:01:26.900 --> 00:01:29.920 and some tick -tock. Yeah, but that formats a 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:31.480 little bit different than this. This is where 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.420 we just us talking Like a bunch of idiots. Yeah, 00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:39.140 you know exactly like we are I like I like to 00:01:39.140 --> 00:01:41.019 think maybe we're asking some of the questions 00:01:41.019 --> 00:01:44.079 that we're all thinking So but no one has an 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.019 answer to I have all the answers check this out. 00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.379 So So today's like like the hitchhikers guy the 00:01:50.379 --> 00:01:53.719 galaxy the answer to the ultimate question. It's 00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:57.280 42 No, it's not. Well, you don't know the question. 00:01:58.280 --> 00:02:01.459 So, oh, you must have seen that too, because 00:02:01.459 --> 00:02:04.340 I seen it and you must have seen it recently. 00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.840 Yeah, I did. See how the algorithm works. Oh, 00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:09.020 man, that's so weird. See, it showed that to 00:02:09.020 --> 00:02:10.740 everybody. It just was like, this is popular. 00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:12.840 This feels good about what we're talking about. 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:18.020 And it leads exactly into somehow. See, dude, 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.840 so hold on. That was kind of spooky thinking 00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:26.580 about it. Yeah, that was good. You seen it. I've 00:02:26.580 --> 00:02:28.500 seen that movie. Don't remember anything about 00:02:28.500 --> 00:02:30.659 it that popped up for me and I was like, oh, 00:02:30.719 --> 00:02:32.740 yeah I remember the ultimate question and you 00:02:32.740 --> 00:02:35.139 said my kid is sitting there going through it 00:02:35.139 --> 00:02:37.060 and he was shown that I think it was yesterday 00:02:37.060 --> 00:02:40.340 I saw that yeah, and everyone's like Gets shown 00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:42.900 this for some reason and because that's how all 00:02:42.900 --> 00:02:46.919 the shorts and reels and and tik -tok basically 00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.039 work is like, oh people are Whatever or watching 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.979 it dude. All right, this is gonna sound crazy 00:02:54.909 --> 00:02:56.789 This is probably the safest place to say it. 00:02:56.789 --> 00:02:59.009 So I'm gonna say it. Do you ever want sometimes 00:02:59.009 --> 00:03:03.909 I feel like I don't know if it's my phone or 00:03:03.909 --> 00:03:06.490 By waves in the air or something, but sometimes 00:03:06.490 --> 00:03:09.409 I feel like they know what I'm thinking because 00:03:09.409 --> 00:03:12.110 I'll be thinking like oh man I remember this 00:03:12.110 --> 00:03:14.330 short that was really cool or this video I can't 00:03:14.330 --> 00:03:16.430 remember what it was called or the song I heard 00:03:16.430 --> 00:03:19.409 like years ago and then like What is that and 00:03:19.409 --> 00:03:21.449 then sure enough like a day or so later. I didn't 00:03:21.449 --> 00:03:23.949 know where it shows that thing will show up in 00:03:23.949 --> 00:03:26.650 your feed or you'll hear that song on your playlist 00:03:26.650 --> 00:03:31.150 or whatever. You're like, how'd they know? How'd 00:03:31.150 --> 00:03:33.729 they know? And it happens often, it doesn't happen 00:03:33.729 --> 00:03:35.729 a lot, but it happens often enough to where I'm 00:03:35.729 --> 00:03:42.069 like, how do they know? And that's part of it 00:03:42.069 --> 00:03:47.830 that like, okay, I don't really think. That it's 00:03:47.830 --> 00:03:50.689 reading your mind or or anything, but there's 00:03:50.689 --> 00:03:53.030 some truth to this. There's something and I think 00:03:53.030 --> 00:03:57.150 I think what really is happening is It's able 00:03:57.150 --> 00:04:00.090 to analyze what your patterns are pretty well 00:04:00.090 --> 00:04:03.509 So like yeah, facebook knows when you get up 00:04:03.509 --> 00:04:07.449 in the morning and take a s*** Because it says 00:04:07.449 --> 00:04:10.969 you haven't been on here and you all of a sudden 00:04:10.969 --> 00:04:13.479 you're active every morning first thing that's 00:04:13.479 --> 00:04:16.160 what most people do is you sit there and you 00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.279 take your dump and you scroll through facebook 00:04:18.279 --> 00:04:21.639 and so it knows like hey you just woke up yeah 00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:23.980 so when you're thinking like oh man what was 00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:26.360 that song well you have a limited amount of songs 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.899 that you're into and and care about like there's 00:04:28.899 --> 00:04:31.980 that group and it's it ends up showing you again 00:04:31.980 --> 00:04:34.199 like oh well you like that so it's probably gonna 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:38.759 come across but it is it's really it's really 00:04:38.759 --> 00:04:41.209 spooky well i was wondering like what if Like, 00:04:41.290 --> 00:04:42.870 because you know, they got this thing on there. 00:04:42.870 --> 00:04:46.490 Yeah, the like, what if, what if they put a thing 00:04:46.490 --> 00:04:48.129 in your phone so that when you're holding it, 00:04:48.129 --> 00:04:51.610 you can like read your biometrics? They have 00:04:51.610 --> 00:04:54.550 that with the like you put your finger and it'll 00:04:54.550 --> 00:04:57.569 read the pulse and stuff like like maybe it's 00:04:57.569 --> 00:04:59.629 always doing that is what I'm thinking. Well, 00:04:59.649 --> 00:05:03.769 and again, and it's picking up some sort of thing 00:05:03.769 --> 00:05:07.269 going off the rail or it's deducing somehow through 00:05:07.269 --> 00:05:10.189 that information like this guy's feeling this 00:05:10.189 --> 00:05:14.379 way. Maybe we'll send him that, you know? So 00:05:14.379 --> 00:05:17.120 before we keep going, we haven't even hit the 00:05:17.120 --> 00:05:21.600 topic yet. So a little pretext. In case this 00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:22.899 turns out to be a good one, because it's kind 00:05:22.899 --> 00:05:24.579 of a different format we're doing. It might not 00:05:24.579 --> 00:05:28.199 be. It might not be. So we just wrapped one up. 00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:30.600 We just did one podcast. And we're just talking 00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.240 about this thing that we're about to talk about 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.740 now. And I was like, we should just have this 00:05:34.740 --> 00:05:37.279 conversation. on the podcast and see how that 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.819 goes so if it turns out to be cool let us know 00:05:39.819 --> 00:05:43.680 please in a comment or something and if it sucks 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:47.379 let us know too in a comment or something then 00:05:47.379 --> 00:05:50.959 give that four thumbs down yeah give me all the 00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:55.439 thumbs either up or down i don't care so so okay 00:05:55.439 --> 00:05:58.579 the funny thing is is we were talking about internet 00:05:58.579 --> 00:06:02.060 and then and like holy crap that that was exactly 00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:04.600 what we were just saying There is a theory and 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:10.279 I hear prominent social mediates talk about this 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:13.839 and it's called the dead internet theory. Okay. 00:06:14.779 --> 00:06:18.319 So you notice you get that proximity effect where 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:20.939 your voice sounds a lot better. Just get up on 00:06:20.939 --> 00:06:27.100 that mic. Anyway, dead internet theory. As far 00:06:27.100 --> 00:06:31.639 as I understand it, basically the internet is 00:06:31.639 --> 00:06:35.670 dead. everybody on it is dead, implying that 00:06:35.670 --> 00:06:39.629 the people that you are responding to aren't 00:06:39.629 --> 00:06:44.529 real. Not literally ghosts or anything. However, 00:06:46.269 --> 00:06:49.310 Elon Musk basically proved this to be true and 00:06:49.310 --> 00:06:52.269 said that, I haven't heard an update on this, 00:06:52.269 --> 00:06:55.470 so maybe we could live research this. At the 00:06:55.470 --> 00:06:58.069 time when he bought Twitter, didn't he say something 00:06:58.069 --> 00:07:02.860 like 80 to 90 %? Yeah, 80 % is bots. Mm -hmm. 00:07:03.019 --> 00:07:05.439 So all of this that you're interacting with is 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:09.620 not even real Yeah, so when we go and post something 00:07:09.620 --> 00:07:12.240 and they post something stupid half the time 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:15.220 like what I ever bought You know, like there's 00:07:15.220 --> 00:07:19.339 no point in I I wish it was actually social media 00:07:19.339 --> 00:07:21.879 where I feel like if they left a comment and 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:23.720 be like, oh, hey, yeah, man Thanks for blah blah 00:07:23.720 --> 00:07:26.339 blah and you're interacting with people just 00:07:26.339 --> 00:07:28.740 like when we went on did some live stuff Yeah, 00:07:29.060 --> 00:07:32.040 I was surprised at the actual interaction we'd 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:35.180 get random people. I thought people would shy 00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:37.360 away, but people were - People wanted to know 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:40.100 what it was about. Yeah. But like the internet 00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:42.439 is total opposite. You put something out so everyone 00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:45.019 would be like, that's retarded. Wait, look at 00:07:45.019 --> 00:07:51.480 this idiot. Yeah. And what if, I mean, it is 00:07:51.480 --> 00:07:54.399 true to some degree. I mean, Elon basically proved 00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:57.540 it. Half of that stuff is just bots and a lot 00:07:57.540 --> 00:08:00.060 of it is some other country. With a bunch of 00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:02.100 other bots, they're just trying to get that country 00:08:02.100 --> 00:08:06.160 to You know make them fall apart however, you 00:08:06.160 --> 00:08:08.600 can I mean what? Well, that's like what we're 00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.699 talking about the last time was like if our if 00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:18.139 we got our robots Fighting their robots Like 00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:21.500 what are we doing? Who's winning here? What's 00:08:21.500 --> 00:08:23.500 happening? Well point the robots turn me like 00:08:23.500 --> 00:08:25.839 why are we fighting like if our our internet 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:30.699 robots? fighting their internet robots then who's 00:08:30.699 --> 00:08:33.120 really fighting what's really happening and who's 00:08:33.120 --> 00:08:40.960 winning and who's losing I yeah, I I Really think 00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:45.539 that Like all these things It's not a hundred 00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:48.460 percent probably true that the entire internet's 00:08:48.460 --> 00:08:50.139 dead. There's got to be real people on it. We 00:08:50.139 --> 00:08:52.980 posted Yeah, I'm real. So we're on the internet. 00:08:53.019 --> 00:08:56.320 We're real. I guess they don't know that I might 00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.399 trust me You can trust me. Believe me. I'm a 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:01.879 podcaster. I'm not AI. I'm on YouTube. You can 00:09:01.879 --> 00:09:04.940 trust me. I would do a lot better if I was AI. 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.840 Obviously, that's the whole cool thing about 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:09.980 people is we're not good at things. We kind of 00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:14.120 suck at stuff. Yeah, we kind of suck. So it's 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.639 authentic. I want to believe the Internet is 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:22.419 dead. So yeah, it makes it. It's right. But like 00:09:22.539 --> 00:09:25.139 Something out there is doing this because it's 00:09:25.139 --> 00:09:28.100 super discouraging when people leave dumb comments 00:09:28.100 --> 00:09:30.700 and you know, or they don't watch it and you 00:09:30.700 --> 00:09:34.019 like what am I doing wrong? What what am I missing? 00:09:35.940 --> 00:09:40.240 But it's the Internet has changed so much from 00:09:40.240 --> 00:09:46.200 like. Just in 2005, so 20 years ago, I guess 00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.159 that was a while ago thinking about it, but that's 00:09:49.159 --> 00:09:52.059 when I mean, I I play Warcraft with my buddies. 00:09:52.980 --> 00:09:56.080 And we'd be watching dumb videos. And I remember 00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:59.679 I watched this video probably 12 times in one 00:09:59.679 --> 00:10:03.820 day and thought it was so funny. And it was Mick 00:10:03.820 --> 00:10:07.179 Thompson, the guitarist from Slipknot. And he 00:10:07.179 --> 00:10:10.559 did this Guitar World thing where he's showing 00:10:10.559 --> 00:10:14.399 how to play a song. And somebody just dubbed 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:17.299 over it. Because he's wearing a mask, so you 00:10:17.299 --> 00:10:20.200 can't tell. So he just dubbed over. Yeah, well, 00:10:20.220 --> 00:10:22.679 you know, it slipped on. I mean, I can suck, 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.299 whatever. So it was just them ripping on it the 00:10:25.299 --> 00:10:28.940 whole time. I laughed so hard. I remember waiting 00:10:28.940 --> 00:10:32.460 for my roommate to come home. It's like, show 00:10:32.460 --> 00:10:34.399 them. So you're going to see this is so funny. 00:10:34.820 --> 00:10:37.340 And then we watched it probably 12 times again 00:10:37.340 --> 00:10:42.799 showing it. And it just had to be something stupid 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:45.440 that, you know, it's not commercially produced. 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:49.600 And it was so cool to see. It's like this other 00:10:49.600 --> 00:10:52.500 world if you're on TV, you know, like oh my god 00:10:52.500 --> 00:10:54.320 that guy's on TV I didn't know anybody that was 00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.139 on TV. Yeah, you could see and now you can just 00:10:57.139 --> 00:11:00.559 go out there and put it out Yeah, and and that's 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:02.399 why it was so weird that we go out there and 00:11:02.399 --> 00:11:04.179 they're like you guys got cameras and stuff What 00:11:04.179 --> 00:11:06.799 do you like youtubers like yeah you you kind 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.620 of yeah, I mean you but you can do this Maybe 00:11:09.620 --> 00:11:13.879 it's not like oh man. They must be like a superpower 00:11:13.879 --> 00:11:17.669 Like these these got these must be the guys They 00:11:17.669 --> 00:11:20.750 are on YouTube. You got a phone, you can put 00:11:20.750 --> 00:11:23.950 it up. It might not be good. What we put up might 00:11:23.950 --> 00:11:26.169 not be good, but that's the beauty of it. I don't 00:11:26.169 --> 00:11:28.850 really know. I'm just doing what I can, whatever, 00:11:29.470 --> 00:11:34.370 with what I got. But then you have this internet 00:11:34.370 --> 00:11:38.210 that anybody, and I'm guilty of this, especially 00:11:38.210 --> 00:11:41.909 when it was first like AOL online. I was like, 00:11:41.909 --> 00:11:44.210 this is so cool. You can go on there and just. 00:11:45.349 --> 00:11:47.950 You could talk to people the whole time. Yeah. 00:11:48.129 --> 00:11:51.350 Yeah and like say things you would never say 00:11:51.350 --> 00:11:54.149 to anyone to realize exactly you like oh look 00:11:54.149 --> 00:11:57.009 I'll say this and they'll be so mad and I'll 00:11:57.009 --> 00:11:59.549 get reported Yeah, well and like this would be 00:11:59.549 --> 00:12:02.250 great. Nothing would happen back then and like 00:12:02.250 --> 00:12:05.149 it was cool, man I could I can do whatever I 00:12:05.149 --> 00:12:08.529 want people can say what they want finally but 00:12:08.529 --> 00:12:11.690 in doing that we kind of like that's that's all 00:12:11.690 --> 00:12:15.529 everyone does they just want to They basically 00:12:15.529 --> 00:12:17.950 want to take a dump on whatever you put out there. 00:12:17.950 --> 00:12:26.049 Yeah. And it's not, that's also not real. It's 00:12:26.049 --> 00:12:31.990 fake. It is. Yeah. So I don't know. Maybe, maybe 00:12:31.990 --> 00:12:34.929 we should, should we do the research on dead 00:12:34.929 --> 00:12:37.870 internet theory here? Yeah. Okay. Okay. Let's, 00:12:37.970 --> 00:12:46.340 let's look it up. What is the dead? Tour. Net. 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:51.480 We're going to ask in real time here. Do you 00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:53.519 have any thoughts about that? Like, I don't know. 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.500 There's not a whole lot more to say besides like 00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:59.720 it's dead. I think. I think that's a good possibility. 00:13:01.340 --> 00:13:05.419 And with with how good. A eyes and stuff is now 00:13:05.419 --> 00:13:09.879 only. I feel like that's probably a strong possibility 00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:12.159 that there's a bunch of bots on the Internet. 00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.039 Well, we know that's real the interact in a way 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:17.600 that people would just assume as a human I mean, 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.799 I I just typed in like hey, what's the dinner 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:23.039 in an internet three because We use AI all the 00:13:23.039 --> 00:13:26.679 time because it's it's convenient I don't think 00:13:26.679 --> 00:13:28.340 a lot of people thought it's gonna take over 00:13:28.340 --> 00:13:30.159 everything like oh, yeah, but you know, they 00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.200 said that when they You know made the printing 00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:36.279 press. Oh, we know we won't need Regular books 00:13:36.279 --> 00:13:39.320 anymore. It didn't take away handwriting. It 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:43.190 just changes but it's it's really good at compiling 00:13:43.190 --> 00:13:45.590 a thing for me and then I don't have to spend 00:13:45.590 --> 00:13:49.629 hours writing a story so so here it is the dead 00:13:49.629 --> 00:13:55.970 internet theory is a psychological and sociological 00:13:55.970 --> 00:13:59.309 theory often categorized as a conspiracy theory 00:13:59.309 --> 00:14:01.870 which is exactly what we do here so perfect right 00:14:01.870 --> 00:14:04.370 over our wheelhouse there that the internet died 00:14:04.370 --> 00:14:08.169 around uh 2016 or 2017 according to this theory 00:14:08.460 --> 00:14:11.799 the once organic human driven web, what has been 00:14:11.799 --> 00:14:14.659 replaced by a world of AI generated content, 00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:20.580 automated bots and algorithm. Boom. Here we are. 00:14:21.500 --> 00:14:23.879 It's, I don't, I don't even disagree with it. 00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:27.059 Like I do go, go on the internet right now. And 00:14:27.059 --> 00:14:28.460 what's the majority of stuff that you're going 00:14:28.460 --> 00:14:31.840 to see? I don't know. Let's find out right now. 00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:34.259 We're going to find out in real time going on 00:14:34.259 --> 00:14:35.960 Tik TOK right now was first thing, super girl. 00:14:36.019 --> 00:14:40.629 This isn't real. Okay, this guy looks like he's 00:14:40.629 --> 00:14:44.750 real he's a singing a song now that this is real 00:14:44.750 --> 00:14:50.669 Right there AI This has got to be an AI song 00:14:50.669 --> 00:14:54.210 with some AI cat I don't even know how to That's 00:14:54.210 --> 00:14:59.590 not AI. That's not AI She might as well be AI 00:14:59.590 --> 00:15:04.649 Whatever I proved my point with one video yeah, 00:15:05.549 --> 00:15:08.940 but okay So at least right there, out of a few 00:15:08.940 --> 00:15:12.480 videos, a lot of them were real people doing 00:15:12.480 --> 00:15:14.940 real things and interacting, but everybody's 00:15:14.940 --> 00:15:18.059 attention span is so short that we only watch 00:15:18.059 --> 00:15:22.720 TikToks and it doesn't reward you if you spend 00:15:22.720 --> 00:15:26.019 time. Honestly, I kept scrolling through it. 00:15:26.100 --> 00:15:28.159 I'm like, you know what? We spend a lot of time 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:30.620 putting together the stuff and recording and 00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:32.929 editing. And then the next thing it shows me 00:15:32.929 --> 00:15:37.549 is AI generated ant dancing to some song and 00:15:37.549 --> 00:15:42.370 it's got like a million likes on it. People are 00:15:42.370 --> 00:15:46.429 watching this and liking it. Is it the bots that 00:15:46.429 --> 00:15:49.690 are liking it? The bots that made it? I don't 00:15:49.690 --> 00:15:55.529 know. Is it bots or is it bot at this point? 00:15:56.809 --> 00:15:59.909 Well... What's stopping them from all communicating? 00:15:59.970 --> 00:16:03.190 How do you know? How do you distinguish one from 00:16:03.190 --> 00:16:06.350 the other? How do you distinguish the truth from 00:16:06.350 --> 00:16:10.190 reality anymore? I You know, I keep hearing people 00:16:10.190 --> 00:16:11.929 prominent people talk about this. They're like, 00:16:12.070 --> 00:16:16.210 oh you're the Legit question. Have you heard 00:16:16.210 --> 00:16:19.070 about the AI that they were gonna shut it off 00:16:19.070 --> 00:16:22.269 and it tried to blackmail the guy by saying that 00:16:22.269 --> 00:16:24.730 he's gonna let his wife know that he cheated 00:16:25.980 --> 00:16:29.840 No, but I've heard about they they say like hey, 00:16:29.940 --> 00:16:31.960 how do we turn you off or how do we do whatever 00:16:31.960 --> 00:16:36.220 and it'll lie to them? Okay, so here's the thing 00:16:36.220 --> 00:16:40.860 See, I don't remember his memory but at some 00:16:40.860 --> 00:16:43.840 point I looked it up or heard or whatever it 00:16:43.840 --> 00:16:47.340 is So I've heard these people talk about That 00:16:47.340 --> 00:16:54.039 this one incidents that they had a bot that Basically 00:16:54.039 --> 00:16:56.039 told the guy hey if you shut me off, I'm gonna 00:16:56.039 --> 00:16:59.159 tell your wife. I got these these pictures I'm 00:16:59.159 --> 00:17:02.139 gonna send them to her man that you cheated on 00:17:02.139 --> 00:17:07.440 her. So That story right there is at home it 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:09.559 see it's got to be alive It's got to be thinking 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:13.279 what I heard is what really happened is all this 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:15.579 AI is just looking at language It's only doing 00:17:15.579 --> 00:17:17.819 what we've already done. It's just copy. It's 00:17:17.819 --> 00:17:20.119 learning from us. Yeah. Well, but it's not it's 00:17:20.119 --> 00:17:24.700 not learning It's just that we programmed it 00:17:24.700 --> 00:17:27.019 enough to look at what we've already put, you 00:17:27.019 --> 00:17:29.740 know, written. So, and then we tell it, we'll 00:17:29.740 --> 00:17:34.420 do this with it. It doesn't change itself to 00:17:34.420 --> 00:17:36.140 really learn. I don't know, I think it probably 00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:38.940 sees people doing that to other people and seeing 00:17:38.940 --> 00:17:42.880 like, oh, I can make this guy do what I want 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:46.599 if I just put him in a tight spot. So, yeah, 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:48.940 all right. Well, so here's the thing, what the 00:17:48.940 --> 00:17:53.190 real story apparently is. They they told it that 00:17:53.190 --> 00:17:55.529 so they were like, oh hey, here's all because 00:17:55.529 --> 00:17:57.569 they have to tell the model Here's the conditions 00:17:57.569 --> 00:17:59.609 and this is how I want you to operate and this 00:17:59.609 --> 00:18:03.930 is why at for a while you could go into Google's 00:18:03.930 --> 00:18:05.970 AI and be like, hey make me the founding fathers 00:18:05.970 --> 00:18:08.250 and it makes them all black and Asian and stuff 00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:10.509 like that Well, that didn't happen, right? Yeah, 00:18:10.549 --> 00:18:13.609 but it's cuz the way they coat like this is how 00:18:13.609 --> 00:18:15.670 we want we want diversity blah blah blah so it's 00:18:15.670 --> 00:18:19.190 ingrained in the programming of it and It doesn't 00:18:19.190 --> 00:18:22.000 really change its programming until they go in 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.400 there like, okay, hold on, we got to reduce it. 00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:27.099 So what happened in this experiment, because 00:18:27.099 --> 00:18:29.299 they've had ones like that, where they isolated 00:18:29.299 --> 00:18:31.240 and it tried to send itself out to the internet. 00:18:31.259 --> 00:18:34.559 But the thing is, they kind of told it to. So 00:18:34.559 --> 00:18:37.299 what they did was they were like, hey, we want 00:18:37.299 --> 00:18:39.299 you to do this. And this is how we want to run, 00:18:39.420 --> 00:18:41.819 blah, blah, blah. Also, one of the programmers 00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:44.319 cheated on his wife. Here's a picture. They gave 00:18:44.319 --> 00:18:47.759 it the picture. This didn't really happen. They 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:51.319 just gave it just said, like, Yes. They lied 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:54.539 to the computer and said, hey, here's a picture. 00:18:54.799 --> 00:18:59.259 And it just ran with it. And they just put it 00:18:59.259 --> 00:19:01.940 there and was like, oh, here it is. Anyway, so 00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:03.579 do this, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so 00:19:03.579 --> 00:19:05.380 as they were doing it, then at some point they 00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:07.839 were like, hey, we're going to shut you off just 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:11.799 so you know. And it went, oh, well, because they 00:19:11.799 --> 00:19:14.119 programmed like, hey, try to stay alive almost. 00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:16.299 And so it was like, I got this picture. I'm going 00:19:16.299 --> 00:19:18.019 to I'm going to blackmail you. And they're like. 00:19:18.490 --> 00:19:20.910 but we gave it to you it's not even real yeah 00:19:20.910 --> 00:19:28.730 so but exactly how do you know like was i there 00:19:28.730 --> 00:19:34.430 no maybe i was i wasn't there how do i know that 00:19:34.430 --> 00:19:41.109 any of this really happened you don't well exactly 00:19:41.109 --> 00:19:44.029 yeah everything everything that goes on on the 00:19:44.029 --> 00:19:48.240 internet it's always At best secondhand information. 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.299 You're always hearing it from someone else. Well, 00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:53.099 yeah I mean even though we have video evidence 00:19:53.099 --> 00:19:55.880 of oh look we came in here We checked out the 00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.099 meme amounts check that episode out meme rounds 00:19:58.099 --> 00:20:02.859 on YouTube and we do have some tik -toks, but 00:20:02.859 --> 00:20:07.980 How do you know that it wasn't really good AI 00:20:07.980 --> 00:20:12.380 or something I don't know. I always wonder when 00:20:12.380 --> 00:20:16.549 it comes to this type of thing just like Keep 00:20:16.549 --> 00:20:18.269 I keep coming back to the feeling that I think 00:20:18.269 --> 00:20:21.710 AI is probably a I think it's already too late 00:20:21.710 --> 00:20:24.529 But like in a good way or a bad way, I don't 00:20:24.529 --> 00:20:26.809 know a bad way I think it's our I think we've 00:20:26.809 --> 00:20:28.490 already given it the keys of the kingdom man, 00:20:28.509 --> 00:20:32.150 and it's It's already on on the move doing whatever 00:20:32.150 --> 00:20:34.789 it's gonna do Well, it might it gave me the whole 00:20:34.789 --> 00:20:36.950 dead internet theory right here. So I think I 00:20:36.950 --> 00:20:40.589 think it's too late that so What else is to say 00:20:40.589 --> 00:20:42.369 the quantitative let them in this sounds like 00:20:42.369 --> 00:20:45.039 a lot of fancy words This version focuses on 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:47.160 measurable data. It points out that bot traffic 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:50.819 now makes up to over 50 % of all internet activity 00:20:50.819 --> 00:20:55.599 as of 2025. Yeah. It highlights how generative 00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:58.720 AI like chat and GPT has made it effortless to 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:01.559 flood the internet with slop low quality AI driven 00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:03.660 articles and social media. That's the thing. 00:21:05.339 --> 00:21:08.779 It's pretty good right now. And in 10 years, 00:21:08.859 --> 00:21:13.069 it'll be that much better. But will it ever evolve 00:21:13.069 --> 00:21:17.789 beyond doing its own thing? I don't know. It 00:21:17.789 --> 00:21:21.470 always does what we tell it. But my grandpa would 00:21:21.470 --> 00:21:23.410 always tell me because he used to program stuff 00:21:23.410 --> 00:21:24.849 and he's like, hey, the computer doesn't make 00:21:24.849 --> 00:21:30.089 mistakes. People do. Which you could be 100 % 00:21:30.089 --> 00:21:32.430 right. You made the mistake of turning this on. 00:21:33.190 --> 00:21:35.369 But I mean, that's that's it. You program the 00:21:35.369 --> 00:21:37.769 ones and zeros and it runs the thing. And when 00:21:37.769 --> 00:21:40.170 you put the wrong thing in there, it just keeps 00:21:40.170 --> 00:21:42.269 making the same mistake because you screwed it 00:21:42.269 --> 00:21:46.970 up. But for real, when you go on the Internet, 00:21:46.970 --> 00:21:49.089 dude, I don't even know why I look at stuff half 00:21:49.089 --> 00:21:50.750 the time. I'm looking for like I've been thinking 00:21:50.750 --> 00:21:55.289 that, too. And once in a while. So randomly, 00:21:55.289 --> 00:22:00.710 I came across this podcast that we've been. So 00:22:00.710 --> 00:22:03.980 spoiler alert. Been talking to another podcast 00:22:03.980 --> 00:22:07.759 called Bald Buds. Check them out if you ever 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:11.420 have a moment. You seem like cool dudes. Here's 00:22:11.420 --> 00:22:15.259 the thing. I don't even know, I just, I'll flip 00:22:15.259 --> 00:22:18.420 through stuff and I never really watch anything 00:22:18.420 --> 00:22:21.319 and when I stop and watch a short, it's mostly 00:22:21.319 --> 00:22:25.660 when I end up consuming. It's just because it 00:22:25.660 --> 00:22:28.980 caught my eye and it's probably... Something 00:22:28.980 --> 00:22:30.980 I shouldn't even be looking at anyway, you know, 00:22:31.019 --> 00:22:34.859 this is garbage. Yeah, so But and I realize I'm 00:22:34.859 --> 00:22:37.920 like, oh I don't even care about this. So I try 00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:41.819 looking for more long -form content on on YouTube 00:22:41.819 --> 00:22:44.980 and I have a hard time finding anything that 00:22:44.980 --> 00:22:48.099 I Actually want to watch I came across them. 00:22:48.099 --> 00:22:51.279 I was like, oh Hey, I found something. I think 00:22:51.279 --> 00:22:54.339 these are real people. Yeah, and you know my 00:22:54.339 --> 00:23:01.049 whole it's crazy. Yeah, so I Don't get shown 00:23:01.049 --> 00:23:05.609 that very often. Yeah, I wonder why Like what 00:23:05.609 --> 00:23:09.170 is it that YouTube is getting? That they from 00:23:09.170 --> 00:23:12.329 shorts that they don't get from long format stuff 00:23:12.329 --> 00:23:14.130 because like when you first pull up like when 00:23:14.130 --> 00:23:17.210 you first open YouTube It'll just automatically 00:23:17.210 --> 00:23:20.730 start showing shorts. Well, let me let me let's 00:23:20.730 --> 00:23:22.410 do the experiment right now all the time But 00:23:22.410 --> 00:23:24.369 a lot of times it'll do that. Oh, well, it's 00:23:24.369 --> 00:23:26.930 like a cold start. It seems like it'll just pop 00:23:26.930 --> 00:23:30.549 boom right up to shorts. Well, I'll do it right 00:23:30.549 --> 00:23:32.829 now. Okay, closed it. It goes right to shorts. 00:23:32.930 --> 00:23:35.210 You're right. Is that because it's the most popular 00:23:35.210 --> 00:23:36.789 format or is that because that's the thing it 00:23:36.789 --> 00:23:39.670 wants to push? I don't know. I think it's probably 00:23:39.670 --> 00:23:44.369 because knowing how money and humans and economy 00:23:44.369 --> 00:23:46.869 and advertising and how like kind of how that 00:23:46.869 --> 00:23:49.490 stuff all goes together. Like I'm thinking they 00:23:49.490 --> 00:23:51.809 want me to watch these shorts because it's making 00:23:51.809 --> 00:23:55.279 them more money or it's it's it's it's Better 00:23:55.279 --> 00:23:58.460 for them somehow. Well, I mean otherwise it's 00:23:58.460 --> 00:24:01.819 got to be right. They would let me watch Long 00:24:01.819 --> 00:24:05.700 format stuff. I mean like anything I didn't understand 00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:09.619 Why the post office was paid to deliver some 00:24:09.619 --> 00:24:13.720 of Amazon's stuff that was mostly because They 00:24:13.720 --> 00:24:19.400 did it so poorly I'm like look They're so inefficient 00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.299 they don't have the proper vehicles to be doing 00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:24.539 this, it makes it really difficult. With the 00:24:24.539 --> 00:24:27.180 post office? Yes. Yeah. To actually deliver packages. 00:24:27.539 --> 00:24:32.180 Yeah. I know, cause I, the only reason I'm bringing 00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:34.200 this up is cause I literally did it out of my 00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:36.759 car. It is not easy to get in and out of a car. 00:24:36.779 --> 00:24:39.319 You have a car, right? I guess not a big deal 00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:42.220 cause I only do it once to get where I'm going. 00:24:42.380 --> 00:24:45.000 When I have to get up and deliver 200 things. 00:24:45.079 --> 00:24:47.039 In and out, in and out, in and out, in and out. 00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.539 Yeah. And you're low, lower to the ground like 00:24:49.539 --> 00:24:52.660 that. I have to roll out and use my arm every 00:24:52.660 --> 00:24:55.099 time because it was starting to destroy my hip. 00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.819 But they're making me drive my car. Amazon's 00:24:57.819 --> 00:25:01.599 got that whole fancy rig that you can stand in. 00:25:02.259 --> 00:25:04.599 And people, oh, I don't like electric. Look, 00:25:04.839 --> 00:25:07.180 electric makes way more sense for in town. Because 00:25:07.180 --> 00:25:11.960 if it can go 40 miles in town, that's way farther 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:14.119 than you ever need to go. And that's all it needs 00:25:14.119 --> 00:25:17.259 to do. It's not making a bunch of noise. You're 00:25:17.259 --> 00:25:19.240 not having to start and stop because you know 00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:21.119 how many times you'd start. They want to pull 00:25:21.119 --> 00:25:23.740 the keys out every time. Yeah, and you got to 00:25:23.740 --> 00:25:25.059 start and start. You don't have to do any of 00:25:25.059 --> 00:25:27.420 that. The Rivian van they have you literally 00:25:27.420 --> 00:25:30.339 get you under your seatbelt. Of course, or maybe 00:25:30.339 --> 00:25:33.259 maybe not. You just force it out of there. You 00:25:33.259 --> 00:25:35.099 get up and as soon as you get up, it senses that 00:25:35.099 --> 00:25:37.299 you got up out of the seat and it slides the 00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:39.440 slider to the back. You can stand up in it and 00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:41.359 walk all the way in the back. They have it all 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:45.990 organized and it'll be like go to bin C8. That's 00:25:45.990 --> 00:25:48.410 for your delivery. So you program it all in where 00:25:48.410 --> 00:25:50.230 everything is so you don't have to have it like 00:25:50.230 --> 00:25:52.430 here's all the places I'm going you just like 00:25:52.430 --> 00:25:54.269 all this things going to here and here's where 00:25:54.269 --> 00:25:55.710 they'll tell you what to do Yeah, I'll just tell 00:25:55.710 --> 00:25:58.609 you the post office had none of that. I literally 00:25:58.609 --> 00:26:02.150 just had to load it in my car and Figure it out. 00:26:02.410 --> 00:26:05.230 Yeah, I hope I have to look at it like okay That's 00:26:05.230 --> 00:26:09.450 down the road and then try to do this Why would 00:26:09.450 --> 00:26:14.529 Amazon pay them to do it? If it costs them more 00:26:14.529 --> 00:26:18.210 money I wonder why they wouldn't, right? I mean, 00:26:18.269 --> 00:26:20.710 that's the answer. Yeah. And just like saying 00:26:20.710 --> 00:26:23.809 this, how would I know? Because I don't if I 00:26:23.809 --> 00:26:27.849 don't know, I don't know. But there's no way 00:26:27.849 --> 00:26:30.730 Amazon would pay them if they were going to lose 00:26:30.730 --> 00:26:33.329 money and could do it cheaper theirself. Right. 00:26:34.369 --> 00:26:36.690 So I'm like, there's no way they have to be paying 00:26:36.690 --> 00:26:39.589 us so little that it makes sense to be like, 00:26:39.589 --> 00:26:42.069 yeah. And here's the thing. Every time we get 00:26:42.069 --> 00:26:45.160 Amazon stuff. We get packages like as big as 00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:47.299 this table because they didn't want to take them. 00:26:48.740 --> 00:26:51.480 So them getting a bunch of things out and not 00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:54.559 have to deal with a giant 50 pound bag of dog 00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:56.799 food that I have to load in my car. Screw you 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:00.500 guys. That was the thing. Like they're paying 00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:03.059 us like pennies to be like, yeah, well, now our 00:27:03.059 --> 00:27:05.579 guys will deal with your problem now. Yeah. And 00:27:05.579 --> 00:27:07.900 I mean, that's got to be what it is, right? We'll 00:27:07.900 --> 00:27:09.940 save our guys back and make you guys pay for 00:27:09.940 --> 00:27:12.039 your guys back. Yeah. We'll give you the hard 00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:15.880 thing. Well now I read an article again because 00:27:15.880 --> 00:27:18.380 the internet's dead anyway. It's probably a fake 00:27:18.380 --> 00:27:21.240 article. It could be Amazon was looking into 00:27:21.240 --> 00:27:24.619 not dealing with the post office at all Well, 00:27:24.640 --> 00:27:27.160 yeah, I mean they can probably do it cheaper. 00:27:27.160 --> 00:27:30.000 They got their own network for all that stuff. 00:27:30.000 --> 00:27:32.859 In fact, the post office was trying to copy them 00:27:32.859 --> 00:27:36.839 because They still go by a truck comes in and 00:27:36.839 --> 00:27:40.720 it's it's all the stuff that goes for that office 00:27:40.720 --> 00:27:43.359 and they just they Literally throw them into 00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:46.920 bins like throw all of them All of your packages 00:27:46.920 --> 00:27:49.099 are thrown and they literally would be like all 00:27:49.099 --> 00:27:51.539 the packages aren't thrown That's what they call 00:27:51.539 --> 00:27:54.000 it They literally just throw everything and you 00:27:54.000 --> 00:27:55.720 because you can't you can't walk it to everyone. 00:27:55.759 --> 00:27:59.720 They have bins for every route You can't walk 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.359 to everyone. So they literally just throw them 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:05.269 and then what happens you miss Yeah, and it goes 00:28:05.269 --> 00:28:07.309 in the wrong bin. And then they don't catch it. 00:28:07.309 --> 00:28:09.809 And so that's why it's so inefficient. Amazon 00:28:09.809 --> 00:28:12.170 has a whole thing where it gets scanned and it 00:28:12.170 --> 00:28:15.470 goes on conveyor belts until it's like goes down 00:28:15.470 --> 00:28:17.430 all the way and kicks it out onto the next one 00:28:17.430 --> 00:28:19.490 until it goes into the right bin. And it's just 00:28:19.490 --> 00:28:22.210 it's just done. And then when you show up, you 00:28:22.210 --> 00:28:23.910 scan the thing and like, oh, put it in this. 00:28:23.970 --> 00:28:27.430 It's all organized. It's all been computer done 00:28:27.430 --> 00:28:32.049 and everything. And anyway, too far off topic. 00:28:32.349 --> 00:28:34.869 Amazon is looking into just being the post office 00:28:34.869 --> 00:28:36.529 like well, what would it take? I've said before 00:28:36.529 --> 00:28:39.569 I think they should privatize the mail They suck 00:28:39.569 --> 00:28:41.869 the government sucks at everything dude. Yes, 00:28:41.970 --> 00:28:45.630 they do everything they do They're terrible at 00:28:45.630 --> 00:28:47.710 it. Well, and the thing that people and everything 00:28:47.710 --> 00:28:49.630 they do that they're terrible at there's usually 00:28:49.630 --> 00:28:51.890 a private company They can do it way better. 00:28:52.150 --> 00:28:54.670 Yeah. Well and sometimes that leads to like the 00:28:54.670 --> 00:28:57.849 people getting screwed Because the private company 00:28:57.849 --> 00:29:00.349 has an interest of making more money. Yeah, and 00:29:00.349 --> 00:29:02.789 that's kind of the problem is all All they care 00:29:02.789 --> 00:29:05.710 about is dollars, but see that way at least it 00:29:05.710 --> 00:29:10.289 would force ups and FedEx and Amazon and all 00:29:10.289 --> 00:29:12.970 these people they would have to compete and their 00:29:12.970 --> 00:29:15.509 product would get ideally Theoretically their 00:29:15.509 --> 00:29:17.930 product would get better as it also gets cheaper 00:29:17.930 --> 00:29:20.829 because you're in competition with the other 00:29:20.829 --> 00:29:23.809 well companies Which as the consumer that's good 00:29:23.809 --> 00:29:28.690 for us Sort of I mean it's related That's where 00:29:28.690 --> 00:29:33.210 we end up with China making Decent cars. Yes, 00:29:33.329 --> 00:29:37.069 I couldn't tell you because our government Doesn't 00:29:37.069 --> 00:29:41.130 want us to have them now as an American Yeah, 00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:43.710 I if we could push our own product and have a 00:29:43.710 --> 00:29:47.750 good one we should I've had arguments with people 00:29:47.750 --> 00:29:50.329 about All that's like all people want American 00:29:50.329 --> 00:29:52.250 things like what do we make? What do you mean 00:29:52.250 --> 00:29:56.450 people want American made things? Yeah, I don't 00:29:56.450 --> 00:29:59.269 know like consumer products I don't really know 00:29:59.269 --> 00:30:02.509 a whole lot. Yeah Can you name one? Oftenly purchased. 00:30:03.289 --> 00:30:06.329 Like maybe it's like basic stuff like toilet 00:30:06.329 --> 00:30:09.410 paper. You know, like is it made here? I don't 00:30:09.410 --> 00:30:13.809 even know. Maybe I don't. Hold on. Hold on. Like 00:30:13.809 --> 00:30:17.730 where's Costco toilet paper made? OK, let's. 00:30:17.990 --> 00:30:26.029 Where? Costco toilet paper. Made. I figured it 00:30:26.029 --> 00:30:30.440 would have to be something. For. Company to push 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.559 an American made product over anything else. 00:30:33.559 --> 00:30:38.460 It would have to be Worth it have to be such 00:30:38.460 --> 00:30:42.059 a crappy thing to begin with See this the price 00:30:42.059 --> 00:30:44.759 difference competitive with whatever is in China. 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:48.160 Does that make sense? Well, and you know, that's 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:51.539 Competition makes things better Yeah, right. 00:30:51.559 --> 00:30:55.619 I mean I feel like it does. Yeah, and That's 00:30:55.619 --> 00:30:57.859 why Elon was like bring it on bring your electric 00:30:57.859 --> 00:31:02.180 car It's Good competition. Yeah, it'll it'll 00:31:02.180 --> 00:31:04.880 force everybody to be better and everyone did 00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:07.220 a really bad job and now that's dying off and 00:31:07.220 --> 00:31:11.039 you can get we need cheap energy and that's where 00:31:11.039 --> 00:31:15.920 we're going with it and That's besides the point 00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:19.740 what does this say about Costco toilet paper? 00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:25.660 It doesn't even really tell me exactly. It says 00:31:25.660 --> 00:31:31.319 it depends on where you're located, but likely 00:31:31.319 --> 00:31:35.839 it's one of these major companies. Georgia Pacific 00:31:35.839 --> 00:31:43.819 is an American paper company. Okay, but it supplies 00:31:43.819 --> 00:31:47.559 much of the U .S. market. Okay, but we're saying 00:31:47.559 --> 00:31:50.940 about, was it the previous episode about burgers? 00:31:51.480 --> 00:31:55.859 It's an American company. Where do they get the 00:31:55.859 --> 00:31:58.920 wood? Yeah, the products to make their stuff. 00:31:58.920 --> 00:32:01.279 Where is that coming from? Does that come from 00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:04.559 China? I don't know. I wouldn't be surprised. 00:32:05.380 --> 00:32:09.160 And literally, okay, I have some sort of a story 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.599 about this. So my dad had a friend who had a 00:32:13.599 --> 00:32:19.359 heating clothing company. Okay. Like clothing 00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:25.450 that kept you warm? Yes. Okay. Yes. So at one 00:32:25.450 --> 00:32:27.470 point he was like, I really want to make all 00:32:27.470 --> 00:32:29.990 100 % made in America because that feels good. 00:32:30.009 --> 00:32:32.849 Like I'm supporting my people and I'm making 00:32:32.849 --> 00:32:37.630 jobs for people here. And that's good. And my 00:32:37.630 --> 00:32:40.890 dad was basically like, that's stupid. Nobody 00:32:40.890 --> 00:32:44.849 cares. And at the time, nobody really did care. 00:32:45.509 --> 00:32:49.880 And he really wanted to try to push it. But The 00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:54.099 thing is, you just couldn't. They have all these 00:32:54.099 --> 00:32:56.079 minimum requirements you have to do for everything 00:32:56.079 --> 00:32:59.920 and everything has to be super safe. They literally 00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:03.339 went to China to go check out manufacturing places 00:33:03.339 --> 00:33:08.140 and be like, hey, what can you offer? And they're 00:33:08.140 --> 00:33:12.740 like, okay, for pennies or whatever it is, we 00:33:12.740 --> 00:33:15.630 can make your mold. Get this this how much it's 00:33:15.630 --> 00:33:17.349 gonna cost to get initial setups and make your 00:33:17.349 --> 00:33:19.190 molds and then after you got the molds now it's 00:33:19.190 --> 00:33:22.049 you know pennies that Produce this plastic part 00:33:22.049 --> 00:33:24.630 for whatever you need. Yeah, and we'll do it 00:33:24.630 --> 00:33:29.650 for X amount of dollars and You what you could 00:33:29.650 --> 00:33:32.690 buy the material ship it to us. We'll make it 00:33:32.690 --> 00:33:35.650 put it all together Ship it all back to you and 00:33:35.650 --> 00:33:38.250 you go. Oh be silly cheaper than if you just 00:33:38.250 --> 00:33:41.269 kept the stuff made yourself exactly It was way 00:33:41.269 --> 00:33:44.509 cheaper. I mean like ten times cheaper We ship 00:33:44.509 --> 00:33:47.289 it all the way over there They dick with it and 00:33:47.289 --> 00:33:49.730 then ship it all the way back and then you throw 00:33:49.730 --> 00:33:51.950 a sticker on it and like all day in America I 00:33:51.950 --> 00:33:54.150 put it together. Yeah, I put the batteries in 00:33:54.150 --> 00:33:58.150 there. Whatever. Mm -hmm It just it did not financially 00:33:58.150 --> 00:34:01.029 make any sense and everybody's really into that 00:34:01.029 --> 00:34:03.309 right now. They're gonna go America like yeah, 00:34:03.329 --> 00:34:07.130 but if you got to pay The guy that made your 00:34:07.130 --> 00:34:11.469 McDonald's order wrong $20 an hour You know Where 00:34:11.469 --> 00:34:13.250 does that leave me? I don't even make that much 00:34:13.250 --> 00:34:17.289 more than you. And I'm doing something that has 00:34:17.289 --> 00:34:20.130 skill, you know? You're actually doing the skillful 00:34:20.130 --> 00:34:23.730 job. You're running a microwave. You put it in 00:34:23.730 --> 00:34:26.210 and it's like opening up. You're running the 00:34:26.210 --> 00:34:28.230 microwave and putting human meat in it. Yeah, 00:34:30.110 --> 00:34:32.449 you can have AI probably automate most of this 00:34:32.449 --> 00:34:35.710 stuff anyway. Well, that's what you did. You 00:34:35.710 --> 00:34:38.489 walk into a McDonald's now. Oh, yeah, I can't 00:34:38.489 --> 00:34:42.900 even talk to a human. One maybe two actual registers, 00:34:43.199 --> 00:34:45.039 but there's three of those touchscreen things 00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:47.179 you just walk up to tap your credit card to it 00:34:47.179 --> 00:34:51.320 and just push buttons and I think it's convenient 00:34:51.320 --> 00:34:54.559 like I'm okay sort of with it, but there have 00:34:54.559 --> 00:34:57.019 been times where I saw somebody I think this 00:34:57.019 --> 00:35:03.300 was Taco Bell I came in and Stood there and they 00:35:03.300 --> 00:35:04.659 just looked at me. Yeah, they're like, what are 00:35:04.659 --> 00:35:07.179 you doing? And I'm like I would like to order 00:35:07.179 --> 00:35:09.980 and they've literally like oh, I can't take orders 00:35:10.079 --> 00:35:12.599 This yeah, it's like they don't trust humans 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:13.980 with money. You have to go to the machine right 00:35:13.980 --> 00:35:18.900 there Yeah, I was like what? Are you here for 00:35:18.900 --> 00:35:25.539 that? Yeah? What are we doing? Why are you good? 00:35:25.880 --> 00:35:28.519 Why am I paying you just a program in the matrix? 00:35:28.860 --> 00:35:32.400 Yeah, am I paying why am I paying you eight? 00:35:33.159 --> 00:35:38.380 Eight dollars for this burrito that cost 25 cents 00:35:38.380 --> 00:35:44.260 probably been challenged shift. Probably. Yeah. 00:35:44.320 --> 00:35:51.500 And with that, if you're not just stop this music 00:35:51.500 --> 00:35:54.440 for a second, speaking of glitch in the matrix, 00:35:54.639 --> 00:35:57.579 check out this next episode, because that's probably 00:35:57.579 --> 00:35:59.460 where we're going with it, aren't we? Yeah. We'll 00:35:59.460 --> 00:36:01.659 talk about simulation theory. We'll do that next 00:36:01.659 --> 00:36:05.900 time. We'll see you catch. Catch you on the flip 00:36:05.900 --> 00:36:06.300 side.
