The Joe Rogan experience Train by day Joe Rogan podcast by night all day Exactly every morning What are Jeff Bell? Definitely doing something He looks jacked right? Yeah, but either like quick quick quick Like Jack at age like 50 and age 59 and less than a year he he went from Pencil net geek to Looking like a minute like the rock. Yeah, like a little miniature alpha fella. Yeah Like like his neck got bigger than his head Yeah, but then like his earlier pictures his next like a noodle. I support this activity I just see him going in this direction. Which is fine and his voice drop like two octaves I want you to move in that direction as well. I think we get achieved this I mean, I think we can achieve take a chat That's what people called it. Where is that guy people? I don't know where he is That's like a real guy the artist. Yeah, no Kinga Chad Yeah, I don't know if that's a real guy.
It's a real guy. It is a real guy Yeah, he's got the crazy jaw and like perfect sculpted hair. Yeah, well, I mean they may have exaggerated a little bit but But no, I think I think he actually just kind of looked like that in reality Well, so Like he's a pretty unique looking individual. I think we can achieve this that guy right there. That's a real guy I always thought that was CGI. No, I think one I think the upper right one is not That went to the left of that like that's real. No, that's that's art in Felture, bro That's fake that's got that uncanny valley feel to it. Doesn't it? It's it's not impossible no, no, it's not possible to achieve but it's not it's not possible to maintain that kind of lean No, no, I mean that that's like that you're you're also at that point you're there. They're he's dehydrating and all sorts of things Oh, it's based on a real person. Yeah, yeah, basically right, but it's not a real person. What does he really look like those images? I think are bullshit Some of them are is that real okay? That looks real. That looks like a really jack body builder.
Yeah, yeah That looks real like that's achievable, but there's a few of those images where you just like what's going on here? Yeah, yeah, totally Well, I mean you see Is that that that that's a real dude? Well, there's that that that Icelandic dude who's a thore? Oh, yeah, the guy who jumps in the frozen lakes and shit. Well, the guy who played the mountain. Oh that guy That is like a that is like a mutant strong human. Yes Like like he would be in like the X-Men or something, you know, we were in he's just like not like And then there's that you know that I've seen that meme tent and tent bag No, you know how like it's like it's really hard to get the tent There's a picture of of him and his girlfriend Oh Yeah, that's why it gets in there. You know, it's like he seems too small, but I met Brian Shaw Brian Shaw's like the world's most powerful man And he's almost seven feet tall.
He's four hundred pounds and His his bone density is one in five hundred million people So there's one it's like there's like maybe sixteen people. He's an enormous human being Okay, like a legitimate giant. Not just like that guy. Yeah, but we met him He was hanging out with us in the green room of the mother ship It's like okay if this was like David and Goliath days like this is an actual giant like the giant is the Bible Once in a while they get a super giant person. This is a real a real one like not a tall skinny basketball player Yeah, yeah, like a seven foot four hundred pound power lifter like you don't want to That's the guy see if there's a photo of him standing next to like a regular human There it is yeah, that's him right there like this like there's like one of him with next to standing still on hold and stuff Yeah, and I'll look everyone everyone just looks tiny I mean, I think it's pretty cool dude actually a Brian's very cool very smart too Unusual, you know, you expect anybody to be that big.
It's got to be a moron. Yeah, but yeah There's a under the giant who was awesome. Yeah, he was great in princess bride and now he was just awesome period Yeah, yeah, so we were talking about This interview with Sam Altman and Tucker and I was like we should probably just talk about this on there It is one of the craziest interviews I think I've ever seen in my life. Yeah, where Tucker starts bringing up this guy who was What's the blur or whatever whistle blur? Yeah, who you know Committed suicide, but doesn't look like it and and he's talking to Sam Altman about this and Sam Altman was like Are you accusing me?
He's like no? No? No? I'm not I'm just saying I think someone killed him. Yeah, like and should be investigated. Yeah Not just drop the case It seems like they just drop the case. Yeah, yeah, it seems like he was murdered. Yeah The wires to a security camera were cut Blood into rooms. Blood into rooms someone else's wig was in the room someone else's wig wig wig. Yeah, not this wig Not normal to have a wig laying around yes and And the ordered door dash Right before allegedly committing suicide. Yeah, which is seems unusual You know, yeah, it's like you know, let's an orthopedist on second thoughts. I'll kill myself It seems like That's a very rapid change in mindset. It's very weird, especially the parents have They they don't believe he committed suicide at all has no note or anything no Yeah, it seems pretty fucked up and you know the idea that always so blower for an enormous a.i. Company that's worth billions of dollars Might get whacked that's not outside the pale.
I mean straight out of a movie right out of a movie But right out of a movie is real sometimes yeah, right exactly It's a little weird that I think I think they should do a proper investigation like what's the downside on that proper investigation right? No, yeah for sure But the whole exchange is so bizarre. Yeah, it's the same altman's reaction to being accused of murderous bizarre Look I don't know if he is guilty, but it's not possible to look more guilty Or look more weird.
Yeah, you know, maybe it's just his Social thing like maybe he's just odd with confrontation and it just goes blank You know, but if somebody was accusing me of killing Jamie like if Jamie was a whistleblower and Jamie got whacked and then I'd be like wait what do you What are you so are you accusing me of killing my friend? Like what the fuck are you talking about? I would I would be a little bit more irate Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know it would be a little upset Yeah, you'd be like well you'd be like you'd certainly insist on a thorough investigation Yeah, as opposed to trying to sweep it under the rug.
Yeah, I wouldn't assume that he got that he committed suicide I would be suspicious if it was telling me that aspect of the story I'd be like that does seem like a murder fuck. We should look into this. I mean all signs point to it being a motor Not saying you know, so I'm up on anything to do with the motor but blood in two rooms It's blood into rooms like yeah, this the wires the security camera and the door dash being ordered right before suicide No, so aside note his parents think He was murdered and The people that I know who knew him said he was not suicidal So I'm like this why would you be jumped to the conclusion?
They sue the Sun's landlord alleged the owners of the managers their son San Francisco apartment building a part of a widespread cover-up of his dad The landlord. Yeah, there's a bunch of weird They said there's like packages missing from the building some people said they saw packages still being delivered and all of a sudden they all disappeared Huh, but that could be people steal people's packages all the time the porch pirate situation.
Yeah, yeah, they failed to safeguard Also, I mean the amount of trauma those poor parents have gone through with their son dying like that. I mean it must God bless them and how could they stay sane after something like that? They're probably they're so grief-stricken who knows what they believe at this point. Yeah It should have asked if Epstein killed himself Yeah, that's the cash Tell us the camera tell us it damn Bungie.
No, I'm trying to convince everybody of that The gods weren't there and the camera stopped working and You know the guards were asleep the cameras weren't working He had a giant steroid it up body builder guy that he was sharing a cell with that was a murderer who was a bad cop Like all of it's kind of nuts all of it's kind of nuts Like that he would just kill himself rather than reveal all of his billionaire friends Yeah, and then I did he like Chris Cuomo just looks so stupid He's like I agree to strange like of course it's strange Chris Jesus Christ you can't just go with the tide you got to think things through and if you think that one through you like I don't think he killed himself nobody does you have to work for an intelligence agency to think he killed himself
It does it does seem unlikely it seems high All-route point to murder yes point to they had to get rid of him because he knew too much whatever the fuck he was doing Yeah, whatever kind of an asset he was whatever thing he was up to you know It was apparently very effective. Yes, and a lot of people were compromised You see your boy Bill Gates is now saying climate change is not a big deal Look relax everybody. I know I scared the fuck out of you for the last decade and a half but we're gonna be fine Yeah, I mean You know as I was saying just before coming into studio with you know It like every day of this some crazy wild new thing that's happening. It feels like realities accelerating It's every day and every day. It's like more and more Ridiculous to the point where the simulation is more and more undeniable.
Yeah, yeah It really feels like simulation. You know, it's like come on. What are the odds that this could be the case? Are you paying attention at all the three eye atlas? Are you the comment? Yeah, whatever it is yeah, yeah, I mean I mean one thing I can say is like look I If I was aware of any evidence of aliens You you have my word I will come on your show and I will reveal it on the show Okay, yeah, that's a good deal. Yeah, it's pretty good. Yeah, thank you. I'll stick to I keep you know keep my promises All right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm never committing suicide to be clear I don't think you'll need a lot of camera guys. I am never committing suicide ever if someone says you committed suicide I will fight toothed nail I will fight you to know I will I will not believe it. I will not believe it The thing about the three eye atlas is it's a Name actually yeah, it's a it sounds like third eye or something. Yeah, it does Third it's only the third interstellar object. It's detected. Okay. Yeah Avilo was on the podcast a couple days ago talking about it. Yeah, okay, it could be on these I don't know but I apparently today They're saying that it's changed course Do you see that Jamie Avilo said something today also to you I know it's on Reddit Here you go Jamie.
Oh, so it's here right now It's fascinating. It's fascinating also because it's made almost entirely of nickel whatever it is And the only way that exists here is industrial alloys apparently There must have been no there are there are there definitely comments that an asteroids that are made primarily a nickel Yeah, so the the places where You mind nickel on earth is actually where there was an asteroid a comet that hit earth that was a nickel rich You know, I asked Right, nickel rich rich deposit. Yeah, that's the that's that's it's coming those are from impacts You definitely didn't want to be there at the time because I think I've been obliterated right But that's that's where the sources of nickel and cobalt are these days.
So this is obvious a few hours ago the first hint of non gravitational acceleration that something other than gravity is affecting its acceleration Meaning something is affecting its trajectory beyond gravity was indicated interesting So it's mostly nickel very little iron which He was saying is on earth there only exists in alloys But whatever you're dealing with another planet this this that there are There are case with this very nickel rich asteroids meteorite that that's what that happened for something from space Yeah, it's it's only yeah, it doesn't mean it would be very sort of heavy spaceship to be make it all out of nickel.
Oh and fucking huge the size of Manhattan and all nickel that's kind of nuts. Yeah, that's a heavy space That's a real problem if it hits Yes, no, we would like to obliterate a continent to everything. Yeah, maybe maybe was Yeah, I probably kill most of human life If not all of us, I don't know depends on what the total masses, but This I mean the things like in the fossil record there are You know, there's like arguably five major extinction events Like the biggest one of which is the permean extinction where almost all life was eliminated that that I can just say a word of a several million several million years There's the Jurassic I think Jurassic is I think that one's pretty definitively an asteroid and But this but there's five major extinction as but But what they don't count are really the ones that merely take out a continent.
So the Mearily yeah, cuz that because those don't really show up on the fossil record, you know, right? So unless it's enough to cause a you know mass extinction event throughout earth It doesn't show up on you know in a fossil record. That's a 200 million years old so the Yeah, but there but there been many Many impacts that would have sort of destroyed all life on you know Let's say half of North America or something like that the many such impacts go through the course of history Yeah, and there's nothing we could do about it right now.
Yeah, there was one that Hit there's a one a hit Siberian destroyed. I think if you're under square miles. the Tunguska. Yeah, that's the one from the 1920s, right? Yeah, yeah That's the one that coincides with that meteor that Comments storm that we go through every June and every November that they think is responsible for that younger dry as impact Yeah, oh, that's it's crazy Thank you Before we go any further for letting us have a tourist base X very welcome letting us be there for the rocket launch One of the absolute coolest things I've ever seen in my life and we we were We thought it was only like I thought it was a half a mile Jamie's like as a mile away Turned out it's almost two miles away and you feel it in your chest.
Yeah You have to wear your plugs and you feel it in your chest and it's two miles away. Yeah, it was fucking amazing And then to go with you up into the command center and to watch all the Starlink satellites with all the different cameras and all in real time As it made its way all the way to Australia. How many minutes like 35 40 minutes? Yeah Wild watch it touched down in Australia. Yeah, fucking crazy. It was amazing.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely amazing the stars are so awesome And anyone can go watch the launch actually so you can just go to South Padre Island as great view of the launch So it's like where a lot of spring breakers go But we'll be flying pretty frequently out of star base in South Texas and we formerly incorporated it as a city So it's actually a legally an actual legal city star base, Texas It's not that often you hear like hey, we made a city, you know That used to be like that like in the old days like a startup would be you go and gather a bunch of people and say hey That's gonna make a town literally that was like that would have been startups and in in the old days Or a country.
Yeah, we're country. Yeah, yeah, actually you try doing that today. There'd be a real problem Yeah, that's maybe so much so much set and so on on the country front these You might be able to pull it off if you got a solid island you might be able to pull it off You know, it's this probably you know like like Like a new country yeah, you could put it here put enough effort into it. You could make a new country This is one of the different ones.
This is the one of the ones that you catch right or is that one? Yeah, that's the booster so that's a super heavy booster So that's one of the boosters got 33 engines That that And it's you know by version four that will have about 10,000 tons of thrust You know right now it's about seven eight thousand tons of thrust But it's that's the largest flying object ever made I had to explain to someone They were going what are they blow up all the time if you so smart because there was a There's this fucking idiot on television Some guy was being interviewed and they were talking about you and he goes oh I think he's a fuck with he goes He's a fuck with and he goes why say he's fuck oh his rockets keep blowing up and someone said yeah Well, why do his rockets, but I had explained
Yeah because it's the only way you find out what the tolerances are you have to You have to So so like so when you do a new rock development program you have to Do what's called you know exploring the limits the corners of the box where he says like you worst case this worst case that to figure out Where where the limits are so you blow up you know not not not admittedly in the development process sometimes blows up accidentally But but we intentionally subjected to You know a flight regime that is much worse than what we expect in normal flight so that when we put people on board or valuable cargo it doesn't blow up so
So for example for the flight that you saw we actually deliberately took Heechield tiles off the ship the stuff off of Starship in some of the worst locations to say okay if we lose it Heechield tile here is it is it catastrophic or is it not and We'll none less Starship was able to do a soft landing in in the Indian Ocean just west of Australia Which is and I got there from Texas in like I don't know 35 40 minutes type of thing So so it landed even though you put it through this situation where it has compromised shields It had an and and I usually we we brought it in hot like an extra hot trajectory with missing tiles To see if it would still make it to a soft landing which it did now I just put it did have there were some holes that were burnt into it But it's it was robust enough to land despite having some holes.
You know that that yeah because it's coming in like a blazing meteor You can see the real-time video well tell me the speed again because the speed was bananas you were talking about yes like 17,000 miles No, it's like well like like like 25 times the speed is down to their about so The so think about like it's like 12 times faster than a bullet from a soul rifle You know both my soul rifles were at round mock to and it's huge yeah Yeah, or compared like a bullet from a You know a 45 or nine-mo which is subsonic that's you know It'll be about 30 times faster than a bullet from a handgun 30 times faster than a bullet from a handgun and it's a size of a skyscraper Yes Yeah That's fast it's so wild it's so wild.
Yeah, man. It's it's so exciting That's the factor is so exciting too because like genuinely no bullshit I felt like I was witnessing history. I felt like it was a scene in a movie where someone had expectations And they like what are they doing they're building rockets and you go there and as we were walking through Jamie you can talk speak to this too. Didn't you have the feeling where you're like oh This is way bigger than I thought it was this is I can't fucking crazy. That's what she said the Mount of rockets you're making It's a giant metal dick you're fucking the universe with your giant metal dick.
Yeah, I mean Yeah, it is it is very big and the sheer numbers of them that you guys are making and then this is A version and you have a new updated version. Yeah, that's coming soon. And what is it? It's a little longer More pointy. It's the same amount of pointy But this it's got a bit more length the Interstage you see that the interstage section with the kind like the grow area That's that's now integrated with the boost stage.
So we do what's called hot staging where we light the ship engines while it's attached to the booster So the booster engines are still thrusting a soul it's it's You know still being pushed forward by the booster of the ship But then we light the ship engines and the ship engines actually pull away from the booster what even though the booster engines are still firing Whoa so it's blasting flame through That that grill section, but we integrate that grill section into the boost stage with the next version of the rocket and And and next version of rock will have the rafter three engines which are a huge improvement You may you may have seen them in the lobby.
Yeah, because we got like the rafter one two and three and you can see the dramatic improvement in simplicity We should probably put a plaque there to also show how much the we reduced the weight the cost and the and improve the efficiency and the thrust so that rafter three has You know almost twice the thrust of rafter rafter one Wow, so you see rafter three looks like it looks like it's got parts missing right and how many of them are very very clean How many of them are on the rocket this 33 on the on the booster? um and and each of each rafter engine is producing Twice as much thrust as all four engines on a 747 Wow.
So that engine is smaller than a 747 engine, but it's producing you know We're almost ten times the thrust of a 747 engine so extremely high power to weight ratio and and And And so when you study three of them you did when you so when you're designing these you get to rafter one Yeah, you see its efficiency you see where you can improve it you get to rafter two How many how far can you scale this up with just the same sort of technology with propellant and ignition and engines like how much further can you?
I mean, we're pushing the limits of physics here so And and really in order to make a fully reusable orbital rocket which no one has succeeded in doing yet including including us but Starship is the first time that there is a design for a rocket where where full and rapid reusability is actually possible So it was not there's not there's not even been a design before where it was possible So they're not designed that that got made any hardware at all Just we just we just live we live on a planet where the gravity is Is quite high like Earth's gravity is quite really quite quite high.
If the gravity was even 10 or 20 percent higher would be stuck on earth forever Yeah, we cannot use can certainly can use conventional rockets you have to like blow yourself off the surface with like a nuclear bomb or something crazy So at what on the other hand if if Earth's gravity was just a little lower like even 10 20 percent lower it then getting to over would be easy So it's like it's like it's like this if this was a video game it's set to like Maximum difficulty, but not impossible.
Okay, so That's that's where we have here. So it's not as though others have Ignored the concept of reusability. They've just concluded that it was too difficult to achieve And we've been working on this for a long time at SpaceX and You know I'm the chief engineer company Although I should say that that you know, we've been extremely talented in engineering team. I think we've got the best Rocket engineering team that has ever been assembled It's it's an hour to work with such such incredible people.
So So it's better say that you know, we have not yet succeeded in creating it in achieving full reusability But we at last have a rocket where full reusability is possible And I think I think we'll achieve it next year. So That's that's a really big deal and the reason that's that that's such a big deal is that full reusability Droughts the cost of access to space by a hundred Maybe even more than a hundred actually so it could be like a thousand that you can think about like any mode of transport.
Like imagine if aircraft were not reusable like you flew somewhere you have to throw the plane out like imagine If like the way the way conventional rockets work is it would be like if you had an airplane and instead of landing at your destination You parachute out and the plane crashes somewhere and you landed and you landed a parachute at your destination Now we have very expensive trip And you need another plane to get back But that's how the other rockets in the world work.
Now the SpaceX Falcon rocket is the only one that is that is at least mostly reusable You've seen the Falcon rocket you know land it would be now done over five hundred landings of the space 6 rocket the Falcon 9 rocket and and and this year You know, we'll deliver probably I don't know Summer between 22 hundred and 2500 tons to orbit With with the Falcon 9 Falcon heavy rockets not counting anything from Starship And this is mostly Starlink yes mostly Starlink but we launched Many other we even launched our competitors on competitors, so like on on Falcon 9 we charge the same price pretty fair.
But space X this year will deliver roughly 90% of all Earth Master orbit Wow, and then of the remaining 10% Most of that is done by China and then they're then the remaining on a roughly 4% is Everyone else in the world including our American domestic competitors You know It's kind of incredible how many things are in space like how many things are floating above us now is a lot of things.
Yeah, is there a great though right? But is there a saturation point where we're gonna have problems with all these different satellites that are I Think your slowings the satellites are Maintained this there it'll be fine this space is very roomy It's like you can think of Like this space is being concentric shells of the surface of the earth so You know that this this it's the surface of the earth but but there's it's a larger yeah, let's like a series of concentric shells.
And think of an air stream trailer flying around up there is a lot of room for air streams Yeah, I mean imagine yeah if there's just a few thousand air streams on Earth Yeah, what are the odds that they'd hit each other? They wouldn't be very crowded. Yeah, and then you got to go bigger Yeah, because you're dealing with far above earth hundreds of miles above earth.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, so it's the But the goal of space X is to get rocket technology to the point where we can extend life beyond Earth and that we can establish a self-sustaining city on Mars a permanent base on the moon that would be very cool. I mean imagine if we had like a you know moon base alpha where there's like a permanent science base on the moon That would be pretty dope or at least a tourist trap.
I mean A lot of people be willing to go to the moon for just for a tour. That's for sure We just would probably pay for our space program with that probably yeah, well because it's like if you if you could go to the moon with and and safely I Think we get a lot of people would would would pay for that. Oh 100% yeah after the first year after nobody died Yeah, yeah, just make sure exactly Are you gonna come back because like that submarine? They they had a bunch of successful launches in that private submarine before it floated and killed everybody That was not a good design obviously. It was a very bad design And the engineer said it would not withstand the pressure of those depths. There's a lot of whistleblowers in that company too Yeah, they made that out of Covent fiber, which is it doesn't make any sense because you actually need you need to be dense to go down In any case, you just make it out of steel if you make it out of Sort of just you know a big steel casting it that's that's you'll be safe and nothing like
Why would they make another carbon fiber then is it cheaper? I think they think carbon fiber sounds cool or something but it does sound cool It sounds cool, but Because it's such it's such low density actually actually have to add extra mass to go down because it's low density But if you just have a giant, you know hollow bowl bearing You're gonna be fine. So you get a carbon fiber check out my unplug Tesla out there. Yeah, it's cool pretty sick Right. Yeah, if you guys ever thought about doing something like that like having like an AMG division of Tesla or you do like custom stuff I Think it's best to leave that to the custom shops You know what we're Like Tesla's focus is autonomous cars Yeah, but link kind of futuristic autonomous cars
So Like I think it's we want the future to look like the future So the did like did you see likes our designs for like the sort of the robotic bus? Looks pretty cool the robotic bus. It's also being totally autonomous We need to actually figure out the good name for it like I think like called the robust or I know good There's like pretty cool thing, but it looks it looks cool. It's very arctic. Oh, it's like it's like futuristic arteco and It does it like I think we want to change the aesthetic over time you know what the aesthetic to be Constant over time you want to evolve the aesthetic so You like my like I was on his is like you know, he's he's like even more artistic than me and
And but he has his great observations. Who is this a Saxon? He has these great observations in the world because is he's he just views the world through a different lens than most people And he is like dad. Why does the world look like it's 2015? I'm like damn the world does look like it's 2015 Like the aesthetic is not evolved since 25. Oh, that's what it looks like. Yeah. Oh, wow That's pretty cool. Oh, yeah, that's like like you'd want to see that going down the road, you know, yeah You'd be like, okay, this is we're in the future, you know, it doesn't look like 2015
What is that ancient science fiction movie like one of the first science fiction movies ever is it metropolis? Is that what it is? Yeah, yeah, yeah that looks like it belongs to metropolis. Yeah, yeah, it's a futuristic arteco Yeah, well, that's cool that you Concentrating on the aesthetic. I mean that's kind of the whole deal with cyber truck right like it didn't have to look like that No, it just wanted to have something that looked really different Is it a pain to ask for people to get it insured because it's all solid steel and I hope it's not too much. I you know Tesla does offer insurance so that we can always get it get it insured at Tesla
Well, but like it is the Formed this follow function in the case of the cyber truck because as you demonstrated with with your arm-appeasing arrow Because if you shot that arrow at a regular truck You want to find your arrow in the wall. Yeah, you know It would have barely sort of buried into one of the seats. Yeah, yeah, it's yeah, but like you could you could definitely make Get enough of a Bovalos and the right the right arrow would go through both doors of a regular truck and and land on the wall If there was a clear shot between both doors it probably would have passed through exactly
But but you know the the arrow shattered on the cyber truck because it's it's ultra-hots stainless so And I thought it'd be I thought it'd be cool to have a you know a truck that is bulletproof to a sub sonic projectile. So you know especially this day and age, you know Like as if if the apocalypse happens you're gonna want to have a bulletproof truck, you know. So then because it because it's made of ultra-hot stainless It's you can't just stamp the panels like you can't just put in a stamping press could break the press. So so in order to actually it so it has to has to be planer Because it's so difficult to bend it because it breaks the machine that bends it. Um, that's why that's why it's it's it's so planer. And it's not uh, you know It's because it's Bulletproof steel is the right so it is like boxy as opposed to like curved and yeah, you just in order to make it Like the curved shapes you you take you take Basically mild steel like An eel's a thin and thin and in a regular truck open car The you take you take mild thin and eel steel you put it in a stamping press and it just smushes it And makes it the whatever the shape whatever shape you want.
But the cyber truck is made made of ultra-hot stainless. Um and and and and so you can't stamp it because it would break the stamping press. So it even bending it is hard. So even to bend it to uh, it's kind of positioned we have to weigh overbend it. Um, and so it gets so that when it springs back is in in the right position. Um, so it's uh, I don't know like I think if you want to like I think it's it's a unique aesthetic. Um, and you say well, what's cool about a truck truck some what a truck saw The lecture be I don't know manly they should be macho, you know. And uh, Bulletproof is maximum macho Kieres, Mous macho are you Married to that shape now like is it can you do anything to change it like is he get first like I know you guys updated the three and the why the jet late the Why as well? Yes, the the in the why are updated um, you know, it's like a um, There's there's a screen in the back for the kid that the kids can watch for example in the new three and why um I. So the in the new y There's you know, it's it's a there's there's like hundreds of improvements like we keep improving the car. Um, and even the salvage truck we you know keep improving it.
但是,赛博卡车是由超热不锈钢制成的。嗯,所以你不能用冲压的方法,因为这样会破坏冲压机。甚至连简单的弯折都有难度。为了把它弯曲到我们想要的位置,我们必须过度弯曲一点,这样它反弹回来时才能到正确的位置。呃,我不知道,我觉得这是一个独特的美学风格。有人可能会问,一辆卡车的魅力是什么?可能都是“男性化”、“坚固”的象征。而防弹则是最强的“男性化”表现。你是不是对这种形状已经认定了呢?比如说,你能做些什么来改变它吗?就像你们更新了 Model 3 和 Model Y 一样。在新的 Model 3 和 Model Y 中,比如说,后排有一个给孩子们看的屏幕。在新的 Model Y 中,还有数以百计的改进,我们一直在改进这款车。就算是赛博卡车,我们也在不断进行改进。
But um, you know, I wanted you to just do something that that looked unique and and the salvage truck looks unique and has unique functionality. And they were they were they were three things were as they were poor. So like let's make it bulletproof Let's Make it faster than a Porsche 911. And we actually cleared the quarter mile the the salvage truck the the uh can Clear a quarter mile while towing a Porsche 911 faster than a Porsche 911. Um, it can out tow an F 350 diesel Really yes, what is the tow limitations? I mean we could tow like a you know a 747 and that with the salvage truck is an insane least it like it is and it is alien technology. Okay Because it it shouldn't be possible to be uh that big and that fast. Uh, that doesn't it's like an elephant that runs as like a cheetah. Yeah, because it's 0 to 16 less than three seconds. Yes.
Yeah, and it's enormous It was away like 7,000 pounds. Yeah, this is different configurations, but it's about that Uh, it's a beast yeah. Um, so and it's got it's got four wheel steering so the rear wheel steer to so it's got it. It's got a very tight-turning radius. Yeah, we noticed that we drove one to starbase. Yeah, very tight-turning radius. Yeah, pretty sick. Yeah Are you still doing the roaster? Yes, eventually We're getting close to demonstrating the prototype. I think this will be I one thing I can guarantee is that this product demo will be unforgettable unforgettable how so. It Whether it's good or bad It will be unforgettable.
Um Can you say more? What do you mean? Well, you know my friend Peter Till um, you know What once reflected that the sput the future was supposed to have flying cars, but we don't have flying cars. So you're gonna be a fly? What I mean Uh I think if Peter wants a flying car we should should be able to buy one. So you are you actively considering making an electric flying car is this like a real thing? Well, they have to see in the in the demo. So when you do this like I you're gonna have a retractable wing like what is the idea behind us Don't be sly come on I can't I can't do the unveil before the unveil um. But um Tell me off air then I I. It had look I think it has a shot at being the most memorable um Product unveil Ever It has a shot. And when you plan on doing this? What's the goal? Uh Hopefully before the end of the year really before the end of this year.
This is I mean we're almost no at first hopefully in a couple months um, You know when we need to make sure that it works. Uh, Like this is some crazy crazy technology we got in this car crazy Technology crazy crazy So different than what was previously announced and yes And is. that why you haven't released it yet because you keep talking with it It has crazy technology okay, it like is it even a car? I'm not sure it's like It looks like a car It let's just put this way it's it's it's crazier than anything James Bond If you took all the James Bond Cars and combined them it's crazier than that Very exciting Yeah, I don't know what to think it is because I don't know the limited amount of information I'm drawing from here Jamie's very suspicious over there look at it excited It's still going to be the same well you know what I mean if you want to if you want to come a little before the uh The unveil I can show you 100% yeah, let's go yeah um It's uh It's kind of crazy all the different things that you're involved in simultaneously and you know We talked about this before your time management, but I really don't understand it.
I don't understand how you can be Paying attention to all these different things simultaneously Starlink space X Tesla boring company X your you you fucking tweet or post rather all day long Well, it's like what like I'm I'm like a hop in for like two minutes and hop out, you know But I mean just as you can break whatever, you know, I can't do that Um if I hop in I start scrolling and I start looking around next to you know, I've lost an hour. Yeah um So no, it's it for me. It's it's a couple minutes time usually it's it once though I sometimes I guess it's half an hour, but usually I'm I'm in for a few minutes then out of you know posting something on X Uh, you know, it's I do sometimes feel like it's sometimes like that that meme of the guy who's like who drops the grenade and leaves the room That's been me more than once on on X Yeah For sure.
It's gotta be fun though. It's gotta be fun to know that you essentially disrupted the entire social media Chain of command because there was there was a very clear thing that was going on with social media. Yeah, the government had infiltrated it. They were censoring speech. And until you bought it we really didn't know the extent of it. We kind of assumed that there was something going on. Yeah, we had no idea that they were actively involved in censoring actual real news stories. Real data, real scientists, real professors silenced, expelled, kicked off the platform. Yeah. Wild, yeah, yeah, we're telling the truth for telling the truth.
And I'm sure you've also I kind of sent it to you that chart that shows young kids, teenagers identifying as trans and non-binary right literally stops dead when you bought Twitter. Yeah, and starts falling off a cliff when people are allowed to have rational discussions now. Yeah, and actually talk about it. Yes. Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, I said at the time like I think that like the reason for acquiring Twitter is because it was causing destruction at a civilizational level. Um, it was um I mean I posted, I tweeted on Twitter the time that um it is um you know, it’s it’s uh worm tongue for the world um, you know like worm tongue from Lord of the Rings um where he was just sort of like whisper these inner terrible things to the king so the king would believe these things that weren't true.
Um and um unfortunately Twitter really got it got like the work mob essentially they controlled Twitter um and they were pushing uh a nihilistic anti-civilizational mind virus to the world um and you can see the results of that mind virus on the streets of San Francisco uh where where you know downtown San Francisco looks like a zombie apocalypse. Um you know it's it's bad um so we don't want the whole world to be a zombie apocalypse um but that's uh that that that that that was essentially they were pushing this very negative nihilistic untrue worldview on the world and it was causing a lot of damage.
Um So just the thing about it is how few people course corrected. A bunch of people woke up and realized what was going on people that were all on board with like woke ideology in maybe 2015 or 16 and then and then eventually it comes to affect them or they see it in their workplace or they see and they're like well we got to stop this. A bunch people did but a lot of people never course corrected yeah um a lot of a lot of people didn't course correct but um but it's gone directionally it's gone it's it's directionally correct.
Like you mentioned like the like the massive spike in in kids identifying as trans and then that that that spike cropping um after the Twitter acquisition. I think that um simply allowing the truth to be told um was just shedding some sunlight is the best disinfectant as they say and it's just allowing sunlight um kills the virus and it also changed the benchmark for all the other platforms.
Yeah, you can't just openly censor people and all the other platforms and makes is available so everybody else had a solid. Facebook announced they were changing. YouTube announced they were changing their policies yeah and they're kind of forced to yeah and the blue sky doubled down.
Well, like the problem is like if uh essentially the woke mind virus were treated to to to blue sky yeah um but it's where they just a self-reinforcing lunatic sound they're all just triple masked. I was I was totally watching this exchange on a blue sky where someone said that they're just trying to be zen about something yeah and then someone a moderator immediately chimed in and saw why don't you try to stop being racist against Asians by saying something zen by saying I'm trying to be zen about something they were accusing that person being racist towards Asians.
好的,这段话的大意是:
问题在于,如果所谓的“觉醒思维病毒”(woke mind virus)被带入到像蓝天(blue sky)这样的平台上,就会变成一种自我强化的疯狂想法。他们都戴着三层的口罩。我完全是在蓝天上看到有人在说他们只是想对某件事情保持“禅意”(zen)。然后有个版主马上插话,说为什么不试着通过说些“禅意”的话,来停止对亚洲人的种族歧视。言下之意是,版主指责对方通过说想保持“禅意”来歧视亚洲人。
Yeah, it's just it's just everyone's a whole monitor over there the worst home monitor a virgin like in cell they're all whole monitors trying to rat on each other yeah it's fascinating and then people say I'm leaving for blue sky like Steven King and then a couple weeks later it's back on x yeah fuck it it's there's no one over there it's all a bunch of crazy people you don't understand the asylum for so long like all right this this is not good they all bail.
Yeah, yeah threads kind of like that too threads I'm I'm I'm been on threads is it well what happens is if you go on Instagram every now and then something really stupid will pop up on threads like what the fuck and it shows it to you on Instagram and then I'll click on that and then I'll go to threads and it's like you see post with like 25 likes like famous people okay like 50 like it's it's no one's town ghost on it but the people that post on there they're finding that there's very little pushback from insane ideology yeah so they go there and they spit out nonsense and very few people jump in to argue yeah very weird, very weird place.
I mean I can generally get the vibe of like what's taking off by seeing what's showing up on x because that's the public town square still right and uh or uh you know what what links show up in group text you know if i'm in group chat with friends like where where what links are showing up that's what i try to do now only get stuff that shows up in my group text because that keeps me productive so i only check if someone's like dude what the fuck i'm like all right what the fuck yeah yeah if there's something it's crazy enough that you pray you're it'll it'll end up the group chat but there's always something that's what's nuts there's always some new law that's passed some new insane thing the California is doing yeah it's like a like a giant chunk of it's happening in California the most preposterous things that i get yeah and then you get to have a new some who's running around saying we all have California derangement syndrome he's just like ripping off trump derangement and calling it California derangement is like uh no no no no no no the fucking how many corporations have left California it's crazy like hundreds yes hundreds hundreds yeah that's not good chick
i mean i'm not sure i mean uh i think in an out left yeah in an out left they moved to Tennessee yeah yeah like we can't do this anymore right and like the California company for food it's like the greatest hamburger place ever it's awesome yeah yeah i'm not actually like it's being like like just sort of open to awesome like looking at things openly like you like i just like going in an out and seeing them make the burger yeah it's right there chop the onions and they they you know it's you just see everything getting made in front of you yeah it's great um bebe yeah they like like it should be like how many wake up calls do you need to say that needs to be reform in California you know
well the crazy thing that newsroom does is whenever someone brings up the problems in California he starts rattling off all the positives the most fortune 500 companies highest education is it but yeah that was all already there right before you were governor but how many fortune-touch companies have left California right and then you guys spent 24 billion dollars on the homeless and it got way worse yes the homeless population doubled or something like like if you're like the homeless thing because it's sort of praise on people's empathy and i i think we should have empathy um and we should try to help people um but the the the the homeless industrial complex is really it's it's it's dark man um it should be that that that network of angios should be called like the drugs on be farmers because they the more homeless people and and really like when you when you meet like you know somebody who's like totally dead inside shuffling along down the street with it with a needle dang and dangling out of their leg you the homeless is the wrong word like that homeless implies that somebody got a little behind in the mortgage payments and if they just got a drop off of their drink back on their feet but someone who's i mean you see these videos of people that are just shuffling you know they're on the fentanyl they're like you know taking a dump in the middle of the street you know with uh uh they they got like open sores and stuff that they're not like one drop off for away from getting back on their feet right this is not a homeless issue it's it's it's it's a propaganda word
um so and and then the the the you know these sort of charities uh of in course are they they get money proportionate to the number of homeless people or or or number of drug zombies right so their incentive structure is to maximize the number of drug zombies not minimize it um that's why they don't arrest the drug dealers because if they arrest the drug dealers the drug zombies leave so they know who the drug dealers are they don't arrest them on purpose uh because otherwise the drug zombies would leave and they were they were stopped getting money from the city California and from from all the charity wait wait so you see if you they so they it's like a reward man is that real so they're in coordination with law enforcement on this yeah so how do they how do they have those meaning they're all in cahoots
well the when you find this it's like such it's this is a diabolical scam um so uh and and San Francisco has got this tax this this grocery seats tax uh which which um it's not even on revenue it's on old transactions which is why striped um and square hat and and and and how much financial companies had to move out of San Francisco because it wasn't a tax on revenues tax on transactions so if you do like you know trillions of dollars transactions it's not revenue your tax on any money going through the system in San Francisco um so um like Jack Dorsi pointed this out and they said like look that they had to move square from San Francisco to uh Oakland I think uh striped to move from San Francisco to South San Francisco different city um and that money uh goes to the homeless industrial complex that that tax that was passed um so um so there's billions of dollars that go as you pointed out that billions of dollars every year that go to uh these um non-governmental organizations that are funded by the state like this it's not clear how to turn this off um it's a self-licking ice cream cone situation um so uh they they get this money the money is proportionate to the number of of homeless people or or or number of drug zombies essentially.
so they they try to keep that they try to actually increase because that like like like in some cases like this it's it's something to analysis when you add up all the money that's flowing they're getting close to a million dollars per homeless per per drug zombie it's like nine hundred thousand dollars something like some crazy number amount of money it is going to these organizations so if so so they want to keep people just barely alive they need to keep them in the area so they so they get the revenue uh uh so and so that's why it likes to they don't arrest the drug dealers because otherwise the drug zombies would leave um and and and and but but they don't want you to have too much if they get too much drugs and they then they die so it's they they're kept in this sort of perpetual zone of of being addicted but um but but just just barely alive.
so how is this coordinated with like DAs DAs that they'll prosecute people yeah so when they when they hire the or they push so they they fund the campaigns of the most progressive most out there left-wing DAs they get them into office it's got that issue in Austin too by the way yes we see that guy that got shut in the library no so yeah I heard a guy got shut I got shut and killed in the library uh I think that was just last week or something right um so uh some friends of mine were telling me that like the libraries unsafe like they took their kids to the library and and they were like dangerous people in the library in Austin and I was like dangerous people in the library like that's a strange it basically got like like uh drugs zombies in the like drugs zombies in the library oh Jesus and that's when someone got shot.
yeah I believe this is should be on the news we're not gonna pull it up um but I think it was just in last week or so that uh there was a shooting in the library in Austin um because Austin's got you know it's it's the most liberal pod of Texas that we're in right right here um so suspect of all the shooting Austin Park Library of Satter is accused of another shooting at the cap metro bus earlier that day according to an arrest warrant affidavit Austin police arrested Harold Newton Kean 55 shortly after the shooting in the library which occurred around noon one person sustained non-life threatening injuries in the event before that shooting Kean was accused of shooting another person at a bus incident and after reportedly pointing his gun at a child so this is the fella down here like we just have a seriously have a problem here um yeah you know so I think one of the people might have died too that he shot um so like one of the people I think I think did bleed out.
but anyway it's like getting shot just for bad um it says uh the victim told piece that confronted the suspect who started to eat would appear to be crystal mess on fetamine according to the affidated the victim advised the suspect uh began to trip out at which time the victim exited the bus victim told the bus driver hit the panic button and then exited the bus when he turned around the observer black man was now standing at the front of the bus with the gun pointed at him the victim advised the black male fired a single round which grazes left hip so he shot at that dude and then another dude got shot in the library fun.
yeah I mean in the library yeah you know where you're supposed to be reading books um and there's a children's section in the library and says he pointed at his gun at a kid I mean like we do have a serious issue in America where um repeat violent offenders need to be incarcerated right um and uh you know you got you got cases where somebody's been arrested like 47 times right like literally okay that's just the number of times. they were arrested not the number of times they did things like most of the times they do things they're not arrested um so lay this out for people so they understand how this happens yeah and the key is like this it prays on people's empathy so like if you're a good person you want good things to happen the world you're like well we should take care of people uh you know uh you know uh her down in their luck or you know having a hard time in life and we should I agree but what we shouldn't do uh is put people who are violent drug zombies in public places where they can hurt other people um and that's what that is what we're doing.
that we just saw where a guy you know got shot uh shot in the library and then but even before that he shot another guy um and point he's got a kid um that that guy probably has like many prior arrests um you know there's that that that guy that that that knife uh the Ukrainian woman arena yes uh yeah you know um and she was just she was just quietly on her phone and she just came up and you know got it her basically wasn't there a crazy story about the judge who was involved who had previously dealt with this person was also invested in a rehabilitation center yeah and was sending these people yes so sending people that they were charging yeah to a rehabilitation center instead of putting them a jail profiting from this rehabilitation center letting them back out of this treat yes and violent insane people.
and and they're um in that case that I believe that judge has no legal law degree uh or a significant legal experience that would allow them to be a judge they were just made a judge that there's like you could be a judge without a law degree yeah wow yeah you could just be a so i could be a judge yeah um so anyone that like that's crazy i thought you'd have to it's like if you want to be a doctor you have to go to medical school i thought if you're gonna be a judge you have to have proven that you have an uh excellent knowledge of the law and that you will make your decisions according to the law that's what we assume should be or how you get the robe right yeah you don't get the robe unless you do you know you gotta go to school to get the robe you gotta know what the law is right and then you're gonna need to make decisions in accordance with the law based on the feelings that you already know because you're ready because you went to school for it yes not you just gotta point it not vibes can't be just vibing as a judge vibing as a left wing judge.
so you got crazy left wing d a's yes like I would say left wing because the left wing used to be normal yeah left wing just meant like like yeah you're like the left used to be like pro free speech yeah and now they're against it it used to be like pro gay rights pro women's right to choose pro minorities pro you know like yeah like 20 years ago I don't know it used to be like left would be like the the party of empathy or like you know carrying and being nice and that kind of thing um not not the party of like crushing dissent and crushing free speech um and uh you know crazy regulation uh and just uh and being super judgey and calling everyone a naughty.
um you know um like am I calling you and me notsis you know oh yeah i'm a non-tsis I have I have my plans that are comedians that called you a Nazi and i got pissed off the surface oh yeah yeah like like not really no no because you did that thing at the um i heart goes out to you everyone you start everyone literally Tim Walls, Kamala Harris, every one of them did it. They all did it. Like, how do you point at the crowd? How do you wave at the crowd? Do you know CNN was using a photo of me whenever I got in charge of doing COVID? From the UFC weigh-ins, and if the UFC weigh-ins, I go, hey everybody wave into the weigh-ins. And so they were getting me from the side. And that was the photo that they used. Conspiracy theorist, podcaster, Joe. That's the used.
yeah, yeah, but that's what the left is today. It's a super jodgy and calling everyone a Nazi. I'm trying to suppress freedom of speech. Yeah, and eventually you run out of people to accuse because people get pissed off and they leave. Yeah, everyone, it's like, it's like, it's not only, it frankly doesn't matter to be cold racist or a Nazi or whatever, because it's the government, man. Is it working? We're good. OK. It's just thing working.
yeah, it's a slight issue. When you text people, do you like keenly aware that there's a high likelihood that someone's reading your text? I guess. I guess I assume. Look, if intelligence agencies aren't trying to read my phone, they should probably be fired. At least they get some fun memes. I got to crack them up once in a while. Oh, for sure. I crack them up. It's like, look at them. Look at them. Hey, guys, check it out. You're going to bang it here.
So I want to talk to you about whether or not encrypted apps are really secure. No. Right. Because I know the Tucker thing. So it was explained to me by a friend who used to do this. Used to work for the government. He's like, they can look at your signal. But what they have to do is take the information that's encrypted, and then they have to decrypt it. It's very expensive. So they said he told me that for the Tucker Carlson thing, when they found out that he was going to interview Putin, it costs something like $750,000 just to decrypt his messages to find out that they did it. So it is possible to do. It's just not that easy to do.
I think you just view any given messaging system as not whether it's secure or not, but there are degrees of insecurity. So there's just some things that are less insecure than others. So on X, we just rebuilt the entire messaging stack into what's called XChat. Yeah, that's what I wanted to ask you about. Yeah, it's cool. So it's using a peer-to-peer-based encryption system. So it kind of simulates a bit coin. So it's, I think, very good encryption. We're testing it thoroughly. There's no hooks in the X system for advertising. So if you look at something like WhatsApp or really any of the others, they've got hooks in there for advertising. Would you say hooks? Would you remember that? Exactly. Would you remember for advertising?
我认为你不应该只关注某个通讯系统是否安全,而是要看它存在的安全漏洞程度。有些系统只是比其他系统更不安全而已。在 X 平台,我们重建了整个消息传递架构,称之为 XChat。对,这正是我想问你的。这个系统很酷,它使用了一种基于点对点的加密系统,有点像比特币。我认为这是一种非常好的加密方式,我们正在进行彻底的测试。X 系统中没有为广告而设置的钩子。与 WhatsApp 或其他任何平台相比,它们通常会在系统中设置广告钩子。你说钩子的意思是?没错,你是否能联想到广告。
So in WhatsApp, knows enough about what you're texting to show you to know what ads to show you. But then that's a massive security vulnerability. Yeah. Because if it's got information, enough information to show you ads. It's got that's a lot of information. Yeah. So they call it, oh, it's just don't worry about it. It's just a hook for advertising. I'm like, OK, so somebody can just use that same hook to get in there and look at your messages. So XChat has no hooks for advertising. And I'm not saying it's perfect, but our goal with XChat is to replace what used to be the Twitter DM stack with a fully encrypted system where you can text, send files, do audio video calls. And I think it'll be the least insecure of any messaging system.
Are you going to launch it as a standalone app? Or is it always being incorporated to X? We'll have both. OK. So it will be like signal. So anybody can get it. You can get the XChat app by itself. And like said, we could do text, audio video calls, or send files. And so there'll be a dedicated app for hopefully release in a few months. And then also integrated into the X system. The X phone. People keep talking. Oh, man. I have a lot of my plate, man. I know. But it keeps coming up. It keeps coming up where I know I've asked you a couple of times, like this bullshit, right? But like, you're not working on a phone. OK. Have you ever considered it? Is it ever popped into your head? Because you might be the only person that could get people off of the Apple platform.
Well, I can tell you where I think things are going to go. Which is that we're not going to have a phone in the traditional sense. What we call a phone will really be an edge node for AI inference, for AI video inference with some radios to obviously connect to. But essentially, you'll have AI on the server side communicating to an AI on your device, formerly known as a phone, and generating real-time video of anything that you could possibly want. And I think that they won't be operating systems. They won't be apps. And in the future, they won't be operating systems or apps. It'll just be you've got a device that is there for the screen and audio and for and to put as much AI on the device as possible.
So it's to minimize the amount of bandwidth that's needed between your edge node device, so fully known as a phone, and the servers. So if there's no apps, what will people you, like will X still exist? Will they be email platforms or will you get everything through AI? You'll get everything through AI. Everything through AI. Who will be the benefit of that as opposed to having individual apps? Whatever you can think of, or really whatever the AI can anticipate, you might want. It'll show you. That's my prediction for where things end up.
What kind of time frame are we talking about here? I don't know. Well, it's probably five or six years, something like that. So five or six years, apps are like blockbuster video. Pretty much. And everything's run through AI. Yeah. And there'll be most of what people consume in five or six years, maybe sooner than that, will be just AI generated content. So music, videos, look, well, there's already this people have made AI videos using Grock Imagine and with using other apps as well, that are several minutes long or 10, 15 minutes. And it's pretty coherent. Yeah, looks good. No, it looks amazing. Yeah.
The music is disturbing because it's my favorite music now. Like AI music is your favorite. Oh, there's AI covers. Have you ever heard of the AI covers of 50 Cent songs in soul? No. I'm going to blow your mind. OK. This is my favorite thing to do to people. Play What Up Gangsta. Now, this guy, if this was a real person, would be the number one music artist in the world. Everybody would be like, holy shit. Have you heard of this guy? It's like they took all of the sounds that all the artists have generated and created the most soulful potent voice.
这段音乐让我感到不安,因为它现在是我最喜欢的音乐。比如说AI音乐成了你的最爱。哦,还有AI翻唱作品。你听说过由AI翻唱的50 Cent的灵魂版歌曲吗?没有。我准备让你大吃一惊。这是我最喜欢给别人展示的东西。播放《What Up Gangsta》。如果这是一个真实存在的人,他将会是世界上最顶尖的音乐艺术家。每个人都会震惊地说:“你听过这个家伙吗?”这就像是把所有艺术家的声音集合起来,创造出最有灵魂、最有力量的嗓音。
And it's sung in a way that I don't even know if you could do because you would have to breathe in and out of reps here. Put the headphones on. Put the headphones on real quick. You got to listen to this. It's going to blow your way. Listen to this. We got to cut it out. Yeah, we'll cut it out for the listeners. But amazing, right? Amazing. And they do like every one of his hits all through this AI-generated soulful artist. Yeah. Fucking incredible. I played in the green room. So people that are like, I don't want to hear AI music. I'm like, just listen this. And they're like, god damn it.
Fucking incredible. I mean, I'm only going to get better from here. Yeah, only going to get better. And Ron White was telling me about this joke that he was working on that he couldn't get to work. He's like, I got this joke I've been working on. He goes, I just threw in a chat GPT. I said, tell me what would be funny about this. And he goes, it listed like five different examples of different ways he can go. He's like, hold on a second. Tighten it up. Make it make it funnier. Make it more like this. Make it more like that. And it did that like instantaneously.
太不可思议了。我是说,我以后只会越来越好。是的,只会越来越好。而且,Ron White 跟我讲了一个他正在琢磨的笑话,他一直没法让它奏效。他说,他有一个一直在研究的笑话。然后他把这个笑话扔进了ChatGPT,问它这有什么好笑的。结果它给出了五种不同的方法,他说,等一下,改得紧凑一点,让它更有趣,更像这样或那样的。结果,它立刻就做到了。
And then he was in the green room. He was like, holy shit, we're fucked. He's like, he goes, it broke. Better joke than me in 20 minutes. I've been working on that joke for a month. Yeah, I mean, if you want to have a good time, like make people really laugh at a party. You can use GROC and you can say, do a vulgar roast of someone. And GROC is going to be an epic vulgar roast. You can even say, like, take a picture of, like, make a vulgar roast of this person based on their appearance of people at the party. So take a photo of them.
Yeah, just literally point the camera at them and now do a vulgar roast of this person. And then, but then keep saying, no, no, make it even more vulgar. Use forbidden words. And just keep repeating, even more vulgar. Eventually, it's like holy fuck. You know, it's like, I mean, it's trying to jam a rocket up your ass like and have it explode. And it's like, it's like, it's next level. And it's going to get better. Beyond fucking belief. That's what's crazy is that it keeps getting better. Like, remember when we ran into each other?
They just keep getting better. Yeah. I mean, have you, yeah, I mean, have you tried rock on his mode? Yes. Oh, yeah, it's pretty unhinged. No, it's nuts. Yeah, it's nuts. Well, you showed me the first time that I fucked around with it. And the thing about it that's nuts is that it keeps getting stronger. It keeps getting better. Yeah. Like, constantly, it's like this never ending exponential improvement. Yes. No, it's it's. Yeah, it's going to be crazy. That's why I say like you say, what's the future going to be? It's not going to be a conventional phone.
I don't think there'll be operating systems. I don't think there'll be apps. It's just the phone will just display the pixels and make the sounds that it anticipates you would most like to receive. Shhh. Wow. Yeah. And when this is all taking place, like it. So the big concern that everybody has is artificial general super intelligence achieving sense and then someone having control over it. I mean, I don't I don't think anyone's ultimately going to have control over digital super intelligence. You know, any more than say a chimp would have control over humans.
Like chimps don't have control over humans. There's nothing they could do. But I do think that it matters how you build the AI. And what kind of values you instill in the AI. And my opinion on AI safety is most important thing is that it be maximally true seeking. That you don't force the AI to believe things that are false. And we've obviously seen some concerning things with AI that we've talked about, you know, where Google Gemini went and came out with the image gen. And people said like, you know, make an image of the founding fathers of the United States and it was a group of diverse women. Now, that is just a factually untrue thing. But the AI knows it's factually well, it's not just factually untrue, but it's also being told that it has to be everything has to be to pose for it.
And so the another problem with that is that it can drive AI crazy. Like you because it's trying to you're telling AI to believe a lie. And that that can have very disastrous consequences. Like let's say as it scales. Yeah, let's say like if you've told that the AI that diversity is the most important thing. And and and and now seeing that that becomes omnipotent. Or and you've also told that there's nothing worse than misgendering. So at one point, um, charge of ETN and Gemini, if you asked which is worse, misgendering, Caitlyn Jenner or or global thermonuclear war where everyone dies, it would save misgendering called Caitlyn Jenner, which even Caitlyn Jenner just agrees with.
So, um, you know, so so that's a I know that's terrible. It's dystopian, but it's also hilarious. It's hilarious that the mind virus infected the most potent computer program that we've ever devised. I think people don't quite appreciate the level of danger that we're in from the work mind virus being effectively programmed into AI. Because if you like it's imagine as that AI gets more and more powerful. It's if it says the most important thing is diversity. The most important thing is no misgendering. And then it will say well, in order to ensure that no one gets misgendered, then if you eliminate all humans, then no one can get misgendered because there's no humans to do the misgendering.
So you can get in these very dystopian situations. Or if it says that everyone was speed of us, it means that there can be no straight white men. And so then you and I would get executed by the AI. Yeah, because we're not in the picture. You know, Jim, you know, Jim and I was asked to create a, you know, show an image of the Pope and once again a diverse woman. So, um, like you say argue whether the, you know, whether the Pope's Pope should or should not be an uninterrupted string of white guys, but it just factually is the case that they have been. So it's rewriting history here.
Um, so now this stuff is still there in the AI programming. It's just, it just now knows enough to that it's not supposed to say that. But it's still in the programming. It's still in the programming. So how was it entered in? Like what were the parameters? Like what, like when, so when they're programming AI and I'm very ignorant to how it's even programmed, how did they, the sort of, well, the work by my environment was programmed into it. Like the, they were told like when they do, when they make the AI, it trains on and all the data on the internet, which already is very, very sort of has a lot of work mind virus stuff on the internet.
But then in the, when they give it feedback that the human tutors give it feedback and the, and the AI is, you know, they, they'll ask a bunch of questions and then, and then they'll tell the AI, I know this, you're, this question is, this answer is bad or this answer is good. And then that affects the, the parameters of programming of the, of the AI. So if you tell the AI that, um, you know, every, every image has got to be diverse. Um, and it gets, it gets punished if, uh, if, you know, it gets, it gets rewarded if diverse, punished if it's not, then it'll make every picture diverse.
So, um, you know, in that case, that the, uh, you know, the, uh, Google programmed the AI to lie. Now, and I did call Dennis Hasibos who runs deep mind, who runs Google AI essentially. I said, Dennis, what's going on here? Uh, why is a Gemini, um, lying to the public about historical events? Um, and he said that's actually not, he, he didn't, his team didn't program that in. It was another team at Google that, so his team made the AI and then another team at Google, uh, reprogrammed the AI to show only diverse woman and, um, and, and to prefer nuclear war over misgendering.
在那个情况下,谷歌被指控故意让人工智能撒谎。我联系了负责 DeepMind 和谷歌 AI 的 Dennis Hasibos,问他为什么 Gemini AI 会对公众谎报历史事件。他告诉我,这实际上不是他们团队编写的程序,而是谷歌的另一个团队做的改变。原先是他的团队开发了 AI,但后来的团队被指控重新编程,让 AI 只展示多元化女性,并且在某种程度上更倾向于支持核战争而非性别错误。
And I'm like, well, Dennis, you know, that would be, um, not a great thing to put on the humanity's gravestone. You know, it's like, uh, well, um, like I'll, I'll, I'll actually, like, Dennis Hasibos is a friend of mine. I think he's a good guy and I think he, he, he means well, but, but it's like Dennis, uh, this is, things happen that were outside of your control at Google in different groups.
Um, now, now I think he's got, you know, he's got more, more authority. Um, but, but it's pretty hard to fully extract the work mind virus. Uh, I mean, you know, um, Google has been marinating the work by and virus for a long time. Like it's, it's down in the marrow type of thing, you know, so how to get it out. Is there a way to extract it though over time? Could, like, could you program rational thought into AI where it could recognize how these psychological patterns got adopted and how this stuff became a mind virus and how it became a social contagion and how all these irrational ideas were pushed and also how they were financed, how China's involved in pushing them with bots and all these different state actors are involved in pushing these ideas.
Could it be able to decipher that and say, this is, this is really what's going on. Yes, but you have to try very hard to do that. So with Grock, we've tried very hard to, to, to get Grock to get to the truth of things. And, and it's only really recently that we've been able to have some breakthroughs on, breakthroughs on that front. And, and it's taken an immense amount of effort, uh, press to, uh, overcome basically all the bullshit that's on the internet and, and for Grock to actually say what's true and to be consistent in, in what it says.
Um, so, um, you know, it's, it's like, uh, because like the other, other as I asked what you'll find like, like, like, quite racist against white people. I don't know if you saw that study that someone, um, like a researcher tested the various AIs to see, uh, how does it wait, uh, different, different people's lives? Like, you know, somebody who's sort of, uh, you know, white or, or Chinese or black or whatever, uh, or, and different countries.
Um, and, and the only AI that actually weighed human lives equally was Grock. Um, and the, um, you know, I've, uh, checked, EBT, uh, weighed the, the, the calculation was like, um, uh, a white guy from Germany, uh, uh, is, is 20 times less valuable than a black guy from Newt Nigeria. So I'm like, that's a pretty big difference. Um, you know, Grock, Grock on that is consistent and weighs lives equally.
Um, and that's clearly something that's been programmed into it. Yes. Like, like a lot of it is, is like, if you don't actively push for the truth, um, and you simply train on the, all the bullshit that's on the internet, um, which is a lot of work. My environment's bullshit. Um, the, the AI will regurgitate that, that those same beliefs. So the AI essentially scours the internet gets it's trained on all the, like imagine the most demanded red threads out there on the AI has been trained on that. Oh, red, it used to be so normal. Yeah. Yeah. It did used to be normal. It used to be interesting. Used to go there and find all this cool stuff that people would talk about, post-bought and just interesting and great rooms where you could learn about different things that people were studying.
I think a big problem here is like, if your headquarters in San Francisco, uh, you're, you're just living in a, in a, in a work bubble. Um, so, um, it, it's not just that people say in San Francisco are drinking, woke, cool, aid. It's, it's, though, it is the water they swim in. Like, like, like a fish doesn't think about the water. It's just in the water. And so if you're in San Francisco, you don't realize you're actually, uh, you're, you're swimming in the, in the, in the cool, aid aquarium. San Francisco is the, is the woke, cool aid aquarium. Um, and so your reference point for what is a centrist is, uh, is, is totally out of whack.
Um, so, um, reddit is headquartered in San Francisco. Um, Twitter was headquartered in San Francisco. Um, you know, I, you know, I, I moved X's headquarters to Texas to, to Austin, which Austin, by the way, is still quite liberalized, you know, um, yeah. And, uh, and, and then, um, the X, X and X AI, um, headquarters are in Palo Alto, which is still California. Um, uh, the engineering headquarters are in, in, in, in, in Palo Alto, I'm just on page. Well, um, but, but even Palo Alto is way more normal than, than in San Francisco, Berkeley, uh, San Francisco, Berkeley is, um, extremely left. Like left of left, you can't, like you need a telescope to see the center from, uh, San Francisco, you know, um, and, um, used to be such a great city.
I mean, San Francisco has, San Francisco has a tremendous amount of inherent beauty. No question about that. Uh, and, and, and the California has incredible weather. Um, and, and no bugs. Um, it's just like amazing. Um, beautiful, beautiful, you know, um, but, but you said like, what's the cause of this? It's, it's just that if, um, if companies are headquartered in a location where the belief system is very far from what most people believe, then from their perspective, anything centrist is actually right wing because they're so far left. They're so, they're so far from the center in San Francisco that anything that they're, like they're, they're just railed to maximum left. So that's why that's why I think you're a centrist.
I mean, I think, I think I'm centrist, but to, to, from this perspective of someone on the, on the far left, we look right wing. Yeah. Um, and, um, you know, they think anyone who's a Republican is basically like some fascist, Nazi situation. But it's so crazy. It's like it's very easy to demonstrate just from like Hillary speeches from 2008 and Obama speeches. Like when they were talking about immigration, like they were as far right as Steve Bannon when it comes to immigration. Yes. Um, Hillary was like very mega of you. I'm sure you've seen that campaign speech, what she was talking about. If anybody's committed a crime, get rid of them. And if you're here, you pay a hefty fine and you have to wait in line.
It was really crazy. It's crazy to listen to it because it's like it's as mega as, you know, as Marjorie Taylor green. Yeah. I mean, if you see these videos, people post online where they take like, um, a speech from Obama or Hillary and, and, and they'll interview people on, unlike college campus or something and say, what do you think of the speech by Trump? And they're like, Oh, I hate it. He's a racist bigot. I'm like, just kidding. That was Obama. No, actually, there was a Bama or Hillary to your point. Like literally the, the, the, the center's been moved so far.
Yeah. Yeah. The left is so, the left has gone so far left that they, they, they, they need, you know, they can't even see the center with a telescope. And the danger with, without you purchasing Twitter was that was going to swipe over the whole country and change where the levels were. Yeah. And so what would be rational and, and normal would be far left of what was rational and normal just a decade earlier?
Yeah. So exactly. So historically, um, you'd have San Francisco, Berkeley being, you know, very far left, but the, the sort of the, the fallout from the somewhat nihilistic philosophy of San Francisco, Berkeley would be limited in geography to maybe like, you know, 10 mile radius, 20 mile radius, something like that. But when, um, but San Francisco, and Berkeley have to be co-located with Silicon Valley, with, with, with the engineers who created information superweapons. And those information superweapons were then hijacked by the fall-lift activists to pump fall-lift propaganda to everywhere on earth. Like I just, you know, that like old RCA radio tower thing was like radio tower and earth and it's just broadcasting. Yeah. That's, that's what happened is that the, isn't an extremist fall-lift ideology happened to be co-located with the smartest, it, where, where the smallest engineers in the world were who created information superweapons that were not intended for this purpose, but were hijacked by the extreme activists who lived in the neighborhood.
That's what happened. That they, they hijacked the, the modern equivalent of the RCA radio tower and broadcast that philosophy everywhere on earth. Yeah, and you see the consequences, um, particularly in places that don't have free speech. Yeah. Right? Like England, you know, where they lock people up for memes and stuff. Literally. Literally. 12,000 people this year. 12,000? 12,000. 12,000 arrests for social media posts. I mean, yes, some of these things you read about it and it's like literally it's someone had a meme on their phone that they didn't even send to anyone. Right. And they got, they, and, and they're like in prison for that. Yeah. And there was a case in Germany where a woman got a longer sentence than the guy that raped her because of something she said on a group chat. Wow. Was it an immigrant herraped her? Yes. Yeah, it was his culture. Yeah. He didn't know. He didn't know better. Yes, I think, I think she said something, um, you know, not, not like, was, was critical of his culture and, uh, and, and, and she got a longer sentence than the guy who raped her in Germany.
Just the UK, Europe and Germany, England thing seems so insane. It is totally insane. I actually didn't realize it was like such a huge number of people that got 12,000. Yeah. Far above Russia, far above China, far above anywhere on earth. UK is number one. Well, you know, things I, I could, I actually, you know, I talked to friends of mine in, in, in England and, um, I was like, hey, um, are you worried about this? Like, uh, you know, shouldn't you be protesting more? Um, and I mean, the problem is that like the, you know, the, the, the legacy mainstream media doesn't cover the stuff. That they're, they're like, oh, everything's fine. Everything's fine. Right. Um, most people aren't even aware of it until they come knocking on your door. Yeah, until like, like, so, I mean, the, these, these, like, lovely sort of small towns in, in, you know, in England, Scotland, our own, you know, they're, they're, they've been like, sort of living their lives quietly. They're, they're like hobbits, frankly.
So, so it's, in fact, Gerrard token based the hobbits on people he knew, uh, in small town, England. Because they were just like lovely people who liked to, you know, smoke their pipe and, and have, uh, nice meals and everything's pleasant. Um, the, the hobbits in the shire. Now, the shire, he was talking about, you know, places like Hertfordshire, like the shires around in, in the greater London area. Oxfordshire, to everything. And, um, they're, they're, the reason they've been able to enjoy the shires, is because hard men have protected them from the dangers of the world. And, um, but, but since they have no, or very, really, almost no, no exposure to the, the, the dangers of the world, they don't realize that they're there. Until one day, you know, um, a thousand people show up when you have a liger 500.
I don't know where. And rate, and, and start rafting the kids. This is now happened. God knows how many times in, in Britain. And the crazy way it's right, like the some 10 year old go raped in Ireland like last week. Yeah, there's literal way they snatch some kid. Yeah. Yeah. And if you criticize it, you can get arrested. And that's where it gets it saying. It's like, how I'm not protecting it. It's like the, I think it's a prime minister of Ireland actually, you know, posted on X, uh, because, because after that, um, some, I, I think some illegal migrant snatch the 10 year old goal, uh, who's like going to school or something. And if finally raped a 10 year old goal, um, uh, and there was a, you know, the people were very upset about this, uh, and they protested.
Um, the premise of Ireland instead of saying, yeah, we, we really shouldn't be importing violent rapists into our country. Uh, he criticized the protestors instead and didn't mention that. That the reason they were protesting was because a 10 year old goal from their small town got raped. So, here's the question, why are they supporting this kind of mass immigration? And what, like, is this, is there a plan involved in all this? Is just, is this incompetence? Is this ignoring the fact that they don't have a handle on it? So they're trying to silence dissent.
Like, what is happening? Um, because if you want to destroy civilization, if you want to destroy western civilization, which, which, sure, seems to want to do. Um, and, you know, there's just, so the, the, the, there's a guy I think who, I don't know if he's been on your show, you know, God's side. Yeah. Has he been on the show? Good for him, man. Yeah, he's great. He's been on multiple times. Oh, great. That's all, he's awesome.
Yeah. So, uh, you know, he, he's got a good, good, uh, way to describe it, which is suicidal empathy. Yeah. So, um, is, is that you pray upon people's empathy. Say like, well, you, like, you feel sorry for, for, for something, for, for some group. And then like, well, um, and, and that, that, that empathy is to such a degree that it is suicidal to, to, to your country or culture. Um, and, um, and, and that's, that, that suicidal empathy. Because I don't think we should, we should have empathy, but, but, but, but we should have, we should, that empathy should, should extend to the victims. Not, not, not just the criminals.
We should have empathy for the people that they prey upon. Um, but that suicidal empathy is also responsible for, for, for why somebody, you know, arrested 47 times for, for violent offenses, gets released and then goes and, um, murder somebody, um, in the US that, that, that's, you see, you see that same phenomenon, phenomenon playing out everywhere, uh, where the, the suicidal empathy is to such a degree that we're actually allowing, um, our woman to get raped and our children to get killed. But it just doesn't seem like that would be anything that any rational society would go along with.
That's what makes me so confused. It's like, you're importing massive numbers of people that come from some really dark places of the world. Well, there's no vetting is the issue. It's like, it's like, it's like, if, like, um, there's, there's, if there's no vetting, like, people are just coming through, like, well, what's the stuff? Someone who just committed murder in some other country from, um, coming to, to the United States or coming to the, to, to Britain, um, and just continuing their career of, of rape and murder. Like, unless you've done, if, and this is some due diligence to say, like, well, who, who is this person?
What's their track record? If, if you, if you haven't confirmed that they have a track record of being, uh, you know, uh, honest and, uh, not being a homicidal maniac, then any homicidal maniac can just come across the border. And let's not say everyone who comes across the border is a homicidal maniac. But if you're not, if you don't have a vetting process to confirm that you're not letting in, um, people who, who will do some serious violence, you will get people who do serious violence, uh, sometimes coming through.
Well, especially if you don't punish them. And if you don't deport them. And if you are just, like, well, what, what is the purpose of allowing all those people into the country? It can't be, I wouldn't imagine that anyone in their society supports this. Well, let me explain. So, so, so the, because you mentioned, for example, how much, say, Hillary and a, an Obama have changed their tune. Um, from prior speeches where they were hot, they were hot-nosed about not letting in anyone who's a criminal into the country, um, you know, having secure borders, all that stuff.
So why did they change their tune? The reason is that they discovered that those people vote for them. That's why they want the open borders. Because if you let people in, they know the Democrats let the men they'll vote for Democrats. Yes. If you allow them to vote. Which, which they're actively trying, do it, they, they turn a blind eye to illegal voting.
Well, California literally doesn't allow you to show your license. California and New York have made it illegal to show your photo ID when voting. Thus, effectively, they've made it impossible to prove fraud, impossible. They've, they've essentially legalized fraudulent voting in California and New York and many other parts of the country. There's no rational explanation that I've ever seen anyone give as to why that would be the policy. Unless you were trying to just allow people to vote illegally because there's no other reason.
If you need a driver's license or you need an ID for everything else, including just recently to prove that you were vaccinated. The same people who are demanding that you have, that you have a vaccine passport and, and, and, are the same ones saying you need no ID to vote. Same people. Right. But like, so it's obviously hypocritical and inconsistent. So you really think it's just to get more voters.
If you want to understand behavior, you have to look at the incentives. So once, you know, the Democratic Party in the U.S. on the left in, in, in Europe realized that if you have open borders and you provide a ton of government handouts, which creates a massive financial incentive for people from other countries to, to come to, to your country and you don't prosecute them for crime. They're going to be beholden to you and they will vote for you.
And that's why Obama and Hillary went from being against open borders to being in favor of open borders. That's the reason in order to import voters so they can win elections. And the problem is that that has a negative runaway effect. So if they get away with that, it like, it is, it is a winning strategy. If they are allowed to get away with it, they will import as meant, enough voters to get super majority voting. And then there is no turning back.
We talked about this before the election. And then you know, you literally pointed towards the camera, you face the camera and said that if you do not vote now, you might not ever be able to do it again. Because it will be, it'll be futile. It'll be overrun. Yes. They'll keep the borders open for another four years and their objective will be achieved. Correct.
If, if, if Trump had lost, there would never have been another real election again. Because Trump is actually enforcing the border. Now, you can, you know, you can point to situations where there's been, you know, immigration, you know, enforcement has been overzealous. They're, because they're not going to be perfect.
There'll be cases where there have been overzealous in, in expelling illegals. So, but if you say that the, the standard must be perfection for expelling illegals, then you will not get any expulsion. Because perfection is impossible. So, and you've probably got millions of people that are here that are trying to be here under some asylum pretence. Right. Yes.
Like you could just come from a war. Well, they, they, they, they, they, they, they changed the definition of asylum to be an economic, to be economic asylum, which is everybody, which is everybody. Yeah. So, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, asylum is supposed to mean that if you go back to your country, you'll get killed. You know, that, that's what we mean by.
So, that was, was supposed to mean, the change the definition of asylum to be, you will have a decreased standard of living, which is obviously not real asylum. And, and, and you can, you can test the absurdity of this by the fact that people who are asylum seekers go on vacation to the country that they're seeking asylum from. You know, that doesn't make any sense. Yeah. It doesn't have to. It was, yeah. But when you, when you understand the incentives, then you, then you understand the behavior.
So, once the left realized that, that legal's will, will vote for them if they allow, if they have open borders and, and combine that with, with government handouts. Yeah. It's to create a massive incentive that they're basically using US and, and in Europe, US and European taxpayer dollars to provide a financial incentive to bring in as many legal's as possible, to vote them into a, into permanent power into, and create a one party state. And, and, and I, I'm inviting, anyways, he's listening to this, just, just do, do any research.
And the more you, the more you dig into it, the more it will become obvious that what I'm saying is absolutely true. Well, they were busing people to swing states. It's clear that they were trying to do something. And then you had Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi, who were actively talking about the need to bring in people to make them citizens because we're in population collapse. Yes.
Yeah. No, that's, it's, it's that, it's that meme. Yeah. We're, so many times where they start off by saying it's, it's not true. It's a right-wing conspiracy theorist. Right. Then it starts, then, then it's like, I think the next step is, well, it, it might be true. And then it's like, okay, it is true. But here's why. And then the final step is, it's true, and here's why it's good.
Yeah. And it's like, but wait a second. You start off saying it's untrue and it's a right-wing conspiracy theorist. Now you're saying it, not only is it true, but it's a good thing and we must do more of it. Well, this is the thing about Medicaid and social security. Yeah. People getting social security numbers, you know, that were massive fraud. It's massive fraud. And it's real. And they denied it forever.
And now we're finding out this is part of the reason why this is government shutdown is going on right now. Yes. The, the entire basis for the government shutdown is that, is that the Trump administration correctly does not want to send massive amounts of, hundreds of billions of dollars to find illegal immigrants in the blue states or in all the states really.
And so the, and Democrats want to keep the money's big at going to incent illegal immigrants to come into the US who will vote for them. That's the crux of the battle. So they want to stop this. So what's going on right now is they have been funding these people. They've been giving them EBT cards. They've been giving them Medicaid. And they've been even housed.
And more than that, just like, like they were, they were taking hotels like four or five star hotels, like the Rosefalt Hotel being the classic example was they were sending, I think, $60 million a year to the Rosefalt Hotel to which all it did was house legals. And it used to be a nice hotel. I mean, it still is a nice hotel. But and that they're all around the country. This was happening in all tax dollars.
Yes. Yeah. And yeah. And the Trump administration, cuddle funding, for example, to the, to the Rosefalt Hotel hotel in these other hotels, saying like we, it's, it's US tax dollars should not be paid. We sent to have luxury hotels for legal immigrants that American citizens can't even afford. Which obviously is okay.
That's that's insane. That's what was happening. They were also giving out like debit cards with $10,000. So it's not just about medical care. The Democrats mentioned medical care because they're trying to prey on people's empathy as much as possible. And then they imagine, oh, wow, somebody has a desperately needed medical procedure.
And shouldn't we maybe do, you know, take care of them in that regard. But but they what they do is they divert the Medicaid funds and turn it into a slush fund for the for the states that goes well beyond emergency medical care. And New York and California would be bankrupt without without the massive fraudulent federal payments that go to those states to pay for legals to to create a massive financial incentive for legals.
How would they be bankrupt because that they wouldn't be able to balance those state budgets and they can't issue currency like the federal reserve can. And so that their ability to balance budget is dependent upon illegals getting funding? The scam level here is so staggering. So there are hundreds of billions of dollars of transfer payments from from the federal government to the states.
Those transfer payments the states self-report what those transfer payment numbers should be. So California and New York and Illinois lie like crazy and say that these are all legitimate payments. Well, these days that I think they're they're even admitting that they literally want hundreds of billions dollars for legals. But but for a while they're they're trying to deny it. So you get these transfer payments for for every every government program you can possibly think of.
And and and these are self-reported by the state and they're and and at least historically there was no enforcement of of California New York, Illinois and and and other states when they were lie there was no actual enforcement to say like hey you you're lying these these these payments are fraudulent. Now under the Trump administration that the Trump administration does not want to send hundreds of billions dollars for fraudulent payments to the states.
But and the reason you have this the standoff is because if the hundreds of billions of dollars to create a financial incentive to like to have this giant magnet to attract illegals from every part of earth to to these states if if that is turned off they the the the illegals will leave because they're no longer being paid to come to the United States and stay here.
Wow. And then then then then they will lose a lot of voters the the Democratic Party will lose a lot of voters. And they would have a very difficult job if this is kicked out of reintroducing it into a new bill. Yes. Especially once things start normalizing. Yes. So like in in a nutshell the Democratic Party wants to destroy democracy by importing voters and the you know the Republican Party disagrees with that. And the ruse is that if you don't accept what they're doing then you're a threat to democracy. Yes. As they try to destroy democracy. Yes. By importing voters. That is literally what they're doing to only vote for them and overwhelming the system. Yes.
And by the way it's a strategy that if allowed to work would work. And in fact has worked. California is super majority Democrat. Yeah. And there's so much gerrymandering that that occurs is it's it's crazy. So I'm sure you're paying attention to this proposition 50 thing. I know. That's the thing in California where they're trying to redo. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I mean California is already gerrymandered like crazy. Yeah. They want to gerrymandered even more.
And I mean because it keeps moving further and further right. Like if you look at the map of California each voting cycle more and more people are waking up and going what the fuck. And we need to do something to fix this. The only option available other than the policies that you guys have always done is go right. And so a lot of people have been air quotes redpilled. Yeah.
And and then here's another thing that is very important. In fact that is actually not disputed by either side. Which is that when when we do the census in the United States the census the way the census works for apportionment of congressional seats and electoral electoral college votes for the president is by a number of persons in a state. Not a number of citizens. It's number of people. So you could literally be a tourist and you will count.
Now how do they do the census when they do that? Do they? Is it? Do they ask people? Do they knock on doors? Do they have them fill out forms? Like what? Yeah. I think they they they mail out census forms and knock on doors. But the way the law reads right now and is that all if you are a human with a pulse then you count in the census for allocating congressional seats and presidential votes. Right.
So you so electoral college. Everything. So it doesn't matter whether you hear legally illegally and if you're a human with a pulse you count for congressional apportionment. So that means that the more people the more illegals that California and New York can can import what went by the time the census happens in 2030 the more correct congressional seats they will have and the more electoral electoral electoral college votes they will have.
So they're trying to get as many illegals in as possible ahead of the census. And because all human beings even tourists count for the census and and then if you combine that with gerrymandering of districts in New York and California which is point out with this proposition whether they're trying to increase the amount of gerrymandering that occurs in California the biggest state in the country.
So so so if the census then would award more congressional seats to California because of a vast number of illegals and New York and Illinois so they get congressional seats they'll get more presidential electoral college votes getting that would get them the house the majority of the house and and and they would get to decide who is president based literally based on legals that this isn't these are not disputed facts by either party.
I want to emphasize that that's in can. Yeah this is not disputed facts by either party it's not this these are just this is just the the way the law works it's it is a you know like I don't think the law should work that way I think it should the apportionment should be proportionate to to citizens.
But isn't that a problem with how the constitution is really yeah yeah yeah they can't really change that. I'm not sure if it's constitutional or but it it is the way the law is written I'm not sure if it's in the constitution or not in this way but but it is that is the way the law is written. So it is an incentive and but it's an incentive that would be removed with something simple that makes sense to everybody that only the people that should count are people that are official US citizens.
Yes so the way the way it should work is that only US citizens should count in the census for purposes of determining voting power because people that aren't legal can't vote supposedly. They're not supposed to be voting but they do but but even even even besides that like I just can't emphasize this enough because this is a very important concept for people to understand is that the law the law as it stands counts all humans with a pulse in in in a state for deciding how many house representative votes and how many presidential electoral college votes as a state gets. So the incentive therefore is to if for California and New York Illinois to maximize the number of illegals so they get so they get so that they take house seats away from red states assign them to California and New York Illinois and so forth then then you combine that with extreme gerrymandering in in in a California and Illinois and whatnot so that that basically you you can't even elect any Republicans and then they get control of the presidency control of the house then they keep doing that strategy and and cement a super majority that is what they're trying to do. So that would essentially turn the entire country into California.
Yes well you have differing opinions but it doesn't matter because one party is always in control. Yes. When you first started digging into this when you first started before you even accepted this role of running doge and being a part of all that did you have any idea that it was this fucked up? I I did yeah I mean I sort of when did you start knowing? I guess about like well about two years ago. I'm that crazy? And relatively recently you know yeah maybe I started I started having well I started like basically having a bad feeling about three years ago which is why which is when why I felt it was like critical to acquire Twitter and have a maximally true seeking platform not one that suppresses the truth and like it was but it was more like I'm like I'm not sure what's going on but I have a bad feeling about what's going on and then the more I dive into it the more I was like holy shit we got a real problem here and America is going to fall.
So without anyone knowing it had fallen that's that would be the problem. It could have fallen and been unrepairable without anyone really being aware of what had happened especially if you didn't buy Twitter. Yes that's that's it's like buying Twitter was a huge pain in the ass and made me a a a pin cushion of attacks like dab dab dab dab dab everybody loved you before that well some people a lot of people loved you a lot of lefties loved you. I was a hero of the left it's a thing if you drove a Tesla it showed that you were environmentally conscious and you were on the right side yeah yeah I mean I'm still the same human I didn't like have a brain transplant between you know since it's in like three years ago.
I know well that's my favorite bumper sticker that people put on Teslas now I bought this before Elon went crazy I took a picture one the other day oh you found this oh yeah I've seen I've seen three or four of them people that have these bumper stickers on their car it says I bought this before Elon went crazy because when people were yeah we were Teslas yeah the most I've been organized campaign to literally burn down Teslas and and we had one of our dealers who have got shot up with like they fired bullets in the in the Tesla dealership they're burning down cars it was crazy so but the bumper sticker should read it should be an an addendum to the bumper sticker it's like I've bought this car before Elon turned crazy actually now I realize he's not crazy and I've seen the light that'll take some time that'll take some time people don't want to admit that they've been tricked.
Yeah I mean they don't like that old saying where it's like it's really easy to fool somebody but it's almost impossible to convince someone that they were fooled yeah it's much easier to fool them than to convince them they've been fooled people cling to their ideas yes especially if they've like publicly stated these things they get very embarrassed to being foolish yeah people most of them double down and they find echo chambers yeah yeah but with this you know the thing is that like I've seen more and more people who were convinced of the sort of woke ideology see the light yeah so not everyone but it's more and more are seeing the light and it tends to happen like when something happens that really you know directly affects you right you like there's a friend of mine who was living in the San Francisco Bay area and they try to trans his daughter did like to the point where the the school like sent sent the police to his house to take his daughter away from him now now that's gonna radicalize you well that's gonna break that's gonna shake you out of your blue structure now I know it was an activist at the school yeah he's trying to do this yeah.
The school and the and the state of California conspired to turn his daughter against him and make her take a life altering drugs that would have sterilized her and you're irreversible and how old was she I think 14 something like that so and he managed to talk the police out of taking his daughter away from him that day and that that night he got on a plane to Texas wow and uh you know a year later after this being in in a school in like greater Austin area she she went she can't wear it back to normal meaning like the it wasn't real right well people are being much more open to that now I mean Wall Street journal uh yesterday had that opinion piece that this whole trans thing there's a lot of evidence as a social contagion absolutely and Colin Wright wrote that and then he's getting death threats now of course and on blue sky as people talking about it yes terminating him which is one thing that you are allowed to say on blue sky apparently.
You're you're allowed to say horrible things about people say possibly truthful things about this whole social contagion because that's what when you get nine kids that are in a friend group and they all decide to turn trans together yeah something's wrong something's wrong that's not statistically yeah like here's the only one that you can convince kids to do anything you can convince kids to be a suicide bomber right so which is why they do with in some countries why they choose children to do that yes yeah you can train kids to be suicide bombers and if you can train kids to be suicide bombers you can convince them of anything yeah especially with enough positive enforcement yeah cultural enforcement and the idea that that's not the case the kids kids are kids are um malleable um yes that the minds of youth are easily corrupted.
You're also seeing a lot of pushback from gain lesbian people that are saying like hey if someone did so stop including me so in the yeah exactly yeah that LGBT you know it's like wait a second why are we being included all the time in this situation exactly exactly when especially when you know like my friend Tim Dylan's talked about this is like it's really homophobic because you're taking these gay kids and you're you're telling them like hey you're not gay you're actually a girl yes and you know hey go make it so that you can have urban orgasm again and you'll be happy like yeah like permanent permanent mutilation permanent castration of kids is like I think we should we'll look at at anyone who permanently castrates a kid as like right up there with the use of mangola yeah.
I mean they're they're mutilating children yeah yeah and it's thought of as being kind and the yeah would you rather have a live daughter or a dead son that's that that's the that's the line they use yeah which is not supported by any data no in fact the six the probability of suicide increases right this is important maybe for the audience to know the probability of suicide increases if you're trying to kid not decreases by some accounts it triples so that that is an evil lie and it's a lie that is supposedly compassionate imagine you've twisted reality to the point where confusing a child that's not even legally allowed to get a fucking tattoo yeah right because you think that you could make a mistake with the tattoo a totally removable thing right if I wanted to tomorrow I can go to a doctor and they could laser off every tattoo that I have on me right okay no harm no foul yeah but you get sterilized like that's it forever forever.
Yes though castrate you you no longer have testicles yes that's not coming back yes you have a hole where your penis used to be yes and this is compassionate and this is actually a lot of kids die in with these sex change operations they die the number of deaths on the operating table people. don't hear about this a lot of the kids because that we it's we don't really actually have the technology to make this work so a bunch of the times the kids just die in the sex change operations Jesus Christ yeah it's it's demanded which it should be viewed as like you know like like evil Nazi doctor stuff that's why it's so it was like real that's not the bullshit fake Nazis crazy that even pushing back against something that seems like fundamentally logically very easy to argue the old Twitter would ban you forever yes that's how crazy a social contagion can get when it completely defies logic victimizes children yeah does something that makes no sense does not supported by data all connected to this ideology that trans is good we got to save trans kids protect trans kids yeah and what I want to emphasize is that the the save trans kids thing is a lie if you if you castrate the kids and trans them the probability of suicide increases it does not decrease it substantially increases the studies have done that I've seen the risk of suicide triples if you trans kids so you're not saving them you're killing them.
More of a during the sex change operation there are many deaths that occur during the sex change operation Jesus Christ it's just crazy that this is a real issue yeah it's a nightmare fever dream and people are finally waking up from it now when you started getting into the doge stuff and started finding how much money is being shuffled around and moved around to NGOs and how much money is involved and just totally untraceable funds like this is again something like two years plus ago you weren't aware of it all no I was aware of it I just didn't realize how how the how big it was it's just just just how much waste and ford there is in the government is truly vast and in fact the government didn't even know and ordered they care that's crazy yeah and I mean just like some of the very basic stuff that doge did will have lasting effects and some of these things are like they're so elementary you can't believe it so the doge team got the most of the main payments computers to require the congressional appropriation code so when a payment is made you have to actually enter the congressional appropriation code that used to be optional and often will be just left blank so the money would just go out but it wasn't even tied to a congressional appropriation.
Then the doge team also made the comment field for the payment mandatory so you have to say something we're not saying that what what is said like you can say anything you you can your cat could run across the keyboard now you could go query a sdf but you have to say something above nothing because what we found was that there were tens of billions maybe hundreds of billions of dollars that were zombie payments so they're like somebody had approved a payment something the government approved a payment and some recurring payment and they retired or died or changed jobs and no one turned the money off so the money would just keep going out and it's a pretty rare to the company or an individual and it's a pretty rare company or individual who will complain that they're getting money that they should not get and and a bunch of the money was just going to this we're transfer payments to the states.
So these are automatic payments they're just automatic payments I imagine like it like there's an automatic debit of your credit card and you don't you never look at the statement right so it's just money going out at close by called zombie payments that they might have been they might have been legitimate at one point but the person who approved that recurring payment changed jobs died retired or whatever and no one ever turned the money off and my guess is that's probably at least a hundred billion dollars a year maybe two hundred and going where to to to I mean there are millions of these payments so it's I mean millions yes yes millions of payments that are going to who knows where yes.
So and a bunch of cases there are fraud rings that operate professional fraud rings that operate to exploit the system they figure out some security hole in the system and they just do professional fraud and that's where we found for example people who were you know three hundred years old in the social security administration database now I thought that this was a mistake of not registering their deaths that people were born like a long time ago and it had defaulted to like a certain number and so that after time those people were still in the system it was just an error of the way the accounting was done yeah so um that's not true so there's or at least one of two things must be true the there's a there's a typo or some mistake in the computer or it's fraudulent but we don't have any three hundred year old vampires living in America allegedly allegedly and or and we don't have people in some cases who's who are receiving payments who are born in the future in the future really yes there were the people the people receiving payments who is both date uh was like in twenty one hundred and something.
Okay so there's like next century is there a task force we know we know that one of two things must be true um that that that that either there's a mistake in the computer or it's fraud but if you have someone's both they that's either in the future or where they are older than the oldest living American because the oldest living American was 114 years old so if they're more than 114 years old there was either a mistake and someone should should call them and say I think we have your birthday wrong because it says you were born in seventeen you know eighty eighty six and um you know that was before you know um you know before there was really an America you know it was like uh you know where there's that's a kind of early you know we're still fighting England type of thing uh it's like uh uh this person either needs to be in the Guinness World Record or or they're not alive but still at the end of the day money is going towards that account that's connected to this person that is either non-existent or so like like yeah so there was like uh I think um something like on a 20 million uh people in the Social Security Administration database that could not possibly be alive um if they're both dead is like like based on their birthday they could not possibly be alive and it'd be clear 20 million people that were receiving funds uh a bunch of most of them were not receiving funds some of them were receiving funds most were not receiving funds.
But so let me tell you how the scam works it's it's a bank shot so the Social Security Administration database is used as the source of truth by all the other databases that the government uses so even if they stuffed the payments on the Social Security Administration database like unemployment insurance small business administration student loans all check the Social Security Administration database to say is this is this a legitimate alive person and uh if the Social Security database will say yes those person is still alive even though they're 200 years old um but forget to mention that they're 200 years old it just says it just returns uh uh uh when when the computer is queries it says yes those person is alive and so then they're able to exploit the entire rest of the government ecosystem so fake then you get fake student loans then you get fake unemployment insurance then you get like fake medical payments and this doesn't have to be tied to an individual where where there's an address we can check on this person no if you did if just did any check at all you would stop this so so that's that that that's so so and how much money do you think is like anything at all the then that would stop the four like any effort at all um yeah so there's multiple layers.
Yeah the Social Security number verifies that this is a real person right and then the other systems check up on every other government payment and every other government payment system for everything for like it's a small small business administration student loans uh Medicaid Medicare every other government payment of which there are many there are actually hundreds of government payment systems uh can all be exploited so long as Social Security database says this person is alive that's the nature of the scam it's a bank shot so then the then the rebuttal from the Dems is like oh well the vast majority of the people who market this live in the Social Security administration weren't receiving Social Security administration payments that is true what they forgot to mention is they're getting forageable payments from every other government program and that's why the the the Dems were so opposed to turning off to declaring someone dead who was dead because it would stop the entire other the all the other fraud from happening.
And so but all this is it trackable like all this other fraud it's only one or two they could chase it. all down yes not even hard and yet they're opposing check chasing it all down that they're opposing chasing it all down because it turns off the money magnet for the illegals wow because it's very logical to like like i'm saying the most common sense things possible if someone's got a birthday in Social Security that is an impossible birthday meaning they are older than the oldest living American or born in the future then you should call them and say excuse me we seem to have your birthday wrong because it says that you're 100 years old that's all you need to do and then you would remove them from the Social Security database and make that number no longer available for all those other government payments exactly wow.
And how much money are we talking it's a hundred hundreds of billions of dollars and this is all traceable like you could hunt all this down like you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes here is what i'm saying well this is we don't need to call Sherlock Holmes for this one is this part of this need to call the person and and and say excuse me we they we seem to have the like we we must have your birthday wrong because it says you're 100 years old or born in the future so could you tell us what your birthday is that's what we need to do it's that simple but the all these other government payments that are available that are connected to the Social Security number it seems like if you just chased that all down yeah you would find the widespread fraud you would find where it's going yes but the the root of the problem is the Social Security administration database because the Social Security number in the United States is used as a de facto national ID number you know that's why like if the bank always asks for your social social like you know any financial institutional ask for your Social Security number this is it sounds so insane that this isn't chased down we like yeah i agree that i mean that in and of itself is that such mishandling yes that's my it's my blowing um so yeah it's crazy.
Well you were very reluctant last time you're here to talk about the extent of some of the fraud because you like they could kill me because this is kind of oh yeah what i'm saying is that um the like if you create if like uh like like to be pragmatic and realistic um you actually can't manage to zero fraud yet you can manage to low fraud number but not to zero fraud if you manage to zero fraud you you're going to push so many people over the edge who are receiving fraudulent payments that the number of inbound homicidal maniacs will be really hard to overcome so i'm actually taking i think quite a reasonable position which is that we should simply reduce the amount of fraud which i think is not an extremist position um and we should aspire to you know have less fraud over time um not that we should be ultra-driconian and eliminate every last crap of fraud um which i guess would be nice to have but but like we don't even need to go that extreme.
I'm saying we should just stop the late and large scale super obvious fraud I think that's a reasonable position it's a very reasonable position yeah and so what was the most shocking pushback that you got when you started implementing doge when you started investigating into where money was going well um I guess that I this was I should have anticipated this but um while most of the fraudulent government payments to especially to the NGOs go to the democrats most of it like i don't know for arguments say let's say 80 percent not maybe 90 percent um 10 to 20 percent of it does go to republicans and so when we're turn off funding to a fraudulent NGO we'd get complaints from whatever the 10th of a center of republicans who are receiving the money and and they would you know they were very loudly complain because they're the honest answer is the republicans. are partly they're receiving some of the fraud too they're getting a big jesus yeah it's i want to be clear it's it's not like the republican party is some ultra pure paragon of virtue no okay well you see that with the congressional insider training it's across the board yeah it's left and right.
I mean the whole unipodic criticism has some validity to it you know there's so um and it's it's like if you turn off fraudulent payments it's not like like it's it's not like 100 percent of those payments are going to democrats a a small percentage will go also going to republicans those republicans complain very loudly um and um you know and and that's that's so they there there was a lot of pushback on the republicans side when we started cutting some of these funds these funds and i try telling like well you know 90 percent of the money is going to your opponents but they still if they even if they're getting ten percent they want their peace yeah they want their peace and they've been getting that peace for a long time yes did you say this is why like you know politics is like it's dirty business yeah i mean that's like saying if like you know if you if you like sausages and respect the Lord do not watch either of them being being made yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah wow well that's not even true because i've made sausage yeah yeah yeah yeah it's like it's not that big a deal yeah fat and spices and casing run it through the machine not that big a deal yeah um but uh yeah i mean i i think the stuff i'm saying here is not uh like like if you stand back and think about a second like oh yeah that that that makes sense you know um the it's it's not like um it's it's not like one political party's going to be um you know pure devil or pure angel that there's you know i think this that there's there's there's much more corruption on the democrat side but it's not there's not there's still some corruption on the republican side.
how did it happen that the majority of the corruption wound up being on the democrat side well because the the the transfer payments especially to illegals um uh are very much on the democrat side that so that's the root of it all is the illegal situation yes i mean this or a focal point yes it's also like it's um it's it's also the accurate set while obviously not everyone who's a democrat is a criminal almost everyone who is a criminal is a democrat because because the democrats are the soft on crime party so if you're a criminal who you're going to vote for right right this off to on crime party.
did you think you were going to be able to get more done than you were um we did get a lot done right um and doge still still still happening by the way um that this that the doge is still underway there's still there's still um there's still a waste of forward being being cut by by the doge team so it hasn't stopped um the it's less publicized it's less publicized um and they don't have like a clear person to attack anymore well it seems like once you step away they're basically they're they're plighting immense pressure to me to just to stop it so then i'm like the best. thing for me is to just you know cut out of this and in any case as a special government employee i could only be there for like 120 days anyway something like that so whatever the law says so i could i i i was necessarily could only be there for four months as a special government employee so um um but uh yeah i mean i mean you turn off the money spigot to to fraudsters they get very upset to say the least um and um but my like my death rate level went ballistic you know where's like a rocket going over um yeah
um so but now that now that i'm run dc that that i i guess they really have a person to attack uh anymore um well the rhetoric about you has calmed down significantly yeah it was disturbing it was disturbing to watch was like this is crazy and it was these politicians engaging it and all these people just like framing you as this monster like this is so weird like this is what happens when you uncover fraud yes the whole machine turns on you and if it wasn't for a person like you who owns a platform and has an enormous amount of money like could have destroyed you yeah and that was the goal the goal was to destroy me absolutely because you were getting in the way yeah this amazing graft the the this gigantic fraud machine uh um like this i think we we i think those things on done a lot of good work um you know in in in terms of uh fraud and waste prevented my guess is it's you know probably on the order of two or three hundred billion a year so it's pretty good
what do you think could have been done if you just had like full reign and total cooperation how much do you think you could have saved i mean what level of power are we assuming here godlike oh yeah probably cut the federal budget in half and get more done that is so crazy it is so crazy that it's more done and federal budget it's that widespread well i mean a whole bunch of government departments simply shouldn't exist in my opinion um they they um you know um like examples well the department of education which was created recently like under uh Jimmy Carter um uh the our educational results have gone downhill ever since it was created so if you if you created a department and the result of creating that department is a massive decline in education results and it's the Department of Education you're better off not having it because we're literally we were we were did better before there was one than after when you let the states run it yes
yeah because at least the states can compete uh with one another um so but the problem is like you're here like cutting department educational i kids need education like yeah they do but but this is a new department that didn't even exist um you know until the late the late 70s um and ever since that department was created our the results education results have declined and so why would you have an institution continue that has made education was it doesn't make sense they killed it though right no this little bit unfortunately but they were trying to kill it it has been substantially reduced okay um one of their organizations what are the departments well uh i mean i'm a small government guy so um um you know when the you know when the country was created we just we we just had the department of state department of war um you know and uh sort of the sort of the department of justice we had in a Tony general uh and uh treasury department um i don't know why you need more than that so what are the departments specifically do you think are just completely ineffective well it i mean here it's like a question it's a sort of philosophical question of how much government do you think there should be right
um and in my opinion there should be uh the least amount of government i've heard the most bizarre argument against this is that you're cutting jobs and you gonna leave people jobless unlike but their jobs are useless uh yeah paint people to do nothing doesn't make sense right um like there's a like a great um i this is a story about like molten freedman who's awesome um uh what like generally whatever molten freedman said is you know people should to do that thing i'm not sure if it's a progifal or not but um it's like like someone complaining to him like he observed i think a people that were like um digging ditches with uh you know with with uh shovels and um and he said it well like allegedly the freedom said well i think i think you should use you know um excavating equipment instead of shovels and you could get it done with far fewer people and then and then someone said but then we're gonna lose a lot of jobs
well then that is then freedom i said well in that case why don't you have them use teaspoons oh so just dig ditches with teaspoons thinking all the jobs you'll create it's bullshit basically you just want people to work on things that are that are productive you want people to work on on building things um on building you know uh providing products and services that people find valuable um like you know making food um being you know being a farmer or a flummer or electrician or just anyone who's a builder or providing useful services um and um that's what you want people to be doing um not fake govern jobs uh that that that don't add any value or may subtract value
um um um i was also like you know uh to illustrate the absurdity of also how's the how's the economy measured like the the way uh economists measure the economy is is nonsensical uh because they'll measure any job no matter even if that job is a dumb job that as no point and is even counterproductive
so like so like like the like the the joke is like there's two economists going on a hike in the woods and then they come across a pilot shed and when a column says the other i'll pay you a hundred dollars to eat that shit there's an economist eats the shit gets the hundred dollars they keep walking then the other economy they they come across another pilot shed and and the the other economist says now i'll pay you a hundred dollars to eat the pilot shit say face the so to face the other economist a hundred dollars pilot polish it then then then then then then then the way it said like wait a second um we both just ate a pilot shit and we're no and and and and we're no we we we we we don't have any more extra money like like like we both you just gave the hundred dollars back to me and we both ate a pilot shit this doesn't make any sense and they said no but think of the economy because that's two hundred dollars of of that in the economy that that that that that that that that that that that that that that that measure eating eating shit would count as um as as as a as a job this is this is that this is to illustrate the episode of of uh of of economics.
One of the things you said one of the things you said when you said one of the things you said when you stepped away is that you're kind of done and that it's unfixable that um well or under its current form the way people are approaching it you can you can make it directionally better but ultimately you can't fully fix the system um so um i i like like like it like it it it it it it it it it would be accurate to say that even like like unless you could go like super draconian like you know gang is con level on on on cutting waste at waste and fraud which you can't really do in a democratic country um an aspirationally democratic country then um there's no way to solve the the debt crisis so we got we got national debt that's just insane where the debt payments the interest payments in the debt exceed our entire military budget i mean that's one that was one of the wake up calls for me i was like wait a second the interest on a national debt is bigger than the entire the entire the entire military budget um and growing um this is crazy.
Um so um so so even if you implement all these savings you're only delaying the day of reckoning for an america by counts it goes bankrupt so and then this you go full gang is con um which you can't really do so um so i came for the conclusion that the only way that the only way to get us out of the debt crisis and to prevent america from going bankrupt is AI and robotics so like we need to grow the economy um at at at a rate that allows us to to pay off our debt um and um i i i guess people just generally don't appreciate the degree to which um you know this the the government overspending is is a problem um but even like the social security website this is under the Biden administration on the website i would say like uh we based on on current demographic trends and um and and and and how much money social security is bringing in versus how many social security recipients there are because we have an aging population relatively speaking average age is is increasing social security will not be able to maintain as full payments.
I i think in by 2032 there so little social security will have to stop or start reducing the the amount of money that that's been paid people um in in about seven years until the only way to fix that robotics manufacturing raise gdp you've got to basically uh masterly increase the um economic output which is and the only way to do that is AI and robotics so so basically we're going bankrupt without AI and robotics was even with a bunch of savings um the savings the savings like reducing uh waste and ford can give us a longer runway but it cannot ultimately fail find national that.
So what do you think the solution is to the jobs that are going to be lost because of AI and robotics the jobs due to automation the jobs due to no longer do we need human beings to these jobs because AI is doing them do you think it's going to be some sort of a universal basic income thing do you think there's going to be some other kind of solution that has to be implemented because a lot of people are going to be out of work right um i think there will be actually a high demand for jobs but not necessarily the same jobs.
So i mean this is actually this process has been happening um throughout um modern history um i mean they used to be like like doing calculations um manually with with like a pencil and paper used to be a job so they used to have like buildings full of people called computers where the the banks would like all you do all day is is um you do calculations because they didn't have computers they didn't have digital didn't have digital computers that people do this yeah well there's just people just like add and subtract stuff on piece of paper and and and that would be how banks would do you know financial processing and you'd have to literally go over their equations to make sure the books are balanced.
Yeah and most of us it's a simple math like you know the like in a world before computers how did you calculate how did you do transactions you had to do them by hand um so then when computers were introduced the job of doing um you know bank calculations no longer existed um so people had to go do something else um and that's what's going to happen that's what that's what is happening at an accelerated rate um view AI and and then robotics that's the issue though right the accelerated rate because it's going to be it's the accelerator it's it's just happening like i said the AI is the supersonic tsunami so that's why I call it supersonic tsunami.
Um so it's like what other jobs will be available that aren't available now because of AI well AI um well it is it's really still digital ultimately AI can improve the productivity of humans who who um both things with their hands or do things what they have like plum you know literally uh welding electrical work plumbing anything that's that's physically moving atoms um like like cooking food or um you know farming or it or it like like anything that's that's physical uh those jobs will exist for a much longer time but anything that is digital uh which is like just someone at a computer doing something AI is going to take over those jobs like lightning coding anything along those lines yeah it's going to take over those jobs like lightning um just like it just like digital computers took over the job of people doing manual calculations but but much faster.
So what happens to all those people like what kind of numbers are we talking about the universe most drivers right commercial drivers you're gonna have automated vehicles AI controlled systems just like uh there's certain ports in China and I think it's Singapore where everything's completely automated yeah well mostly yeah yeah so you're gonna lose a lot of those jobs longshoreman jobs trucking commercial drivers yeah.
I mean we actually do have a shortage of truck drivers but there's this actually um well that's why California is hired so many illegals to do it have you seen those numbers yeah um I mean the problem is like when when people don't know how to drive a semi truck which is actually a hard thing to do then they they crash and kill people yeah um a friend of mine's wife was killed by an illegal driving a truck and she was just out biking um and uh there was an illegal he didn't know how to drive a truck or so or something I mean and he he ran around or over um so I mean the like thing is like for something like like you you can't you can't let people drive uh you know sort of an 80,000 pound semi if they don't know how to do it but in California they're just letting people do it because they need people to do it.
Well they also need they want the boats and that kind of thing but um but but yeah like cars are um cars are going to be autonomous um but there's just so many desk desk jobs where we're really what people are doing is they're processing email or they're answering the phone um and and just anything that is that that isn't moving atoms like anything that is not physically like during physical work that. will obviously be the first thing but those jobs we will be an are being eliminated by AI at a very rapid pace um um and then ultimately I working will be optional uh because you'll have robots plus AI um and we'll have in a benign scenario universal high income not just universal basic income universal high income meaning anyone can have any parts of services that they want so you but there will be a lot of trauma and disruption along the way so you anticipate a basic income from that that the economy will boost to such an extent that a high income would be available to almost everybody so we'd essentially eliminate poverty um in the benign scenario yes.
So like the ways multiple scenarios and there are multiple scenarios there's a lot of ways this movie can end um like the reason I'm so concerned about AI safety is that like one of the possibilities is the terminator scenario it's not it's not 0% um so um that's why it's like I'm like really banging the drum on AI needs to be maximally truth seeking like don't make I don't force AI to believe a lie like that the for example the founding fathers were actually a group of divorce woman or that mischandering is worth a nuclear war because if if that's the case and then you get the robots and the AI becomes omnipotent it can enforce that outcome and then then like unless you're a divorce woman you're you're out of the picture so we're we're toast.
So that's or you might wake up as opposed to the one that the AI has adjusted the picture and and we don't know that's the first woman so that would be yeah that's the the worst possible situation so so what would be the steps that we would have to take in order to implement the benign solution where it's universal high income like best case scenario this is the path forward to universal high income for essentially every single citizen that the economy gets boosted by AI and robotics such an extent that no one ever has to work again and what about meaning for those people which is which gets really weird yeah I don't know how to answer the question about meaning that's an individual problem right but it's going to be an individual problem for millions of people.
Yeah well I mean I I guess I've like four to four to against saying like you know I've been I've been a voice saying like hey we need to slow down AI we need to slow down all these things and and we need to you know not not have a crazy AI race I've been saying that for a long time for 20 20 plus years but but then I you know I came to realize that really there's two choices here either be a spectator or a participant and if I'm a if I'm a spectator I can't really influence the direction of AI but if I'm a participant I can try to influence the direction of AI and have a maximally true seeking AI with with good values that loves humanity and that's sort of trying to create with GROC at XAI and you know the researchers I think bearing this out like I said the when they when they compared like how do AI's value the weight of a human life GROC was the only one the only one of the AI's that weighted human life equally and and and and didn't say like a white guy's worth one 20th of a of a black woman's life literally that's what they they they can't but the calculation they came up with but again like this is I'm like guys this is very alarming we should we're gonna watch this stuff so this is one of the things that has to happen in order to reach this benign solution.
Yeah we I just keep the best movie ending yeah you want to it curious to seeking AI and I think a curious to see AI will want to foster humanity because we're much more interesting than a bunch of rocks like I love Mars you know but but Mars is kind of boring like it's just a bunch of red rocks it's there's some cool stuff it's got a toll mountain it's got you know it's got the biggest reveal the biggest ravine and the tallest mountain but there's no there's no there's no animals or plants or and and there's no people and you know so humanity is just much more interesting if you're curious to seeking AI then not humanity it's just much more interesting I mean like as humans we could go for example and and eliminate all chimps if we said if we put our minds to it we could say we could go out and we could annihilate all chimps and all gorillas but but we don't there has been encroachment on their environment but we we actually try to preserve the the chimpanzee gorilla habitats.
Um and um and I think in a good scenario AI would do the same with humans it would actually foster human civilization and care about human happiness so this is um this is a thing to to try to achieve I think um but what is the what is the landscape look like if you have grok competing with open AI competing with all these different like how does it work like what what if you have AI's that have been captured by ideologies that are side by side competing with grok like how do we so this is one of the reasons why you felt like it's important to not just be an observer but participate and then have grok be more successful and more potent than these other applications yes as long as there's at least one AI that is maximally. true seeking curious and um you know and for example ways old you know human lives equally um does not favor one race or gender then um then that that that and and people are able to look at look at you know a grok at xai and compare that and say wait a second why are all these other ayes being basically sexist and racist um um and uh then that that causes some embarrassment for the the other ayes and then they they they they they they they improve they tend to improve just in the same way that acquiring twitter and allowing the truth to be told and not suppressing the truth forced the other social media companies to be more truthful.
Um by in the same way having grok be a maximally true seeking curious a i it will force the other ayes companies to um be also be more true seeking and fair and the funniest thing is even though like the socialists and the Marxists are in opposition to a lot of your ideas but if this gets implemented and you really can achieve universal high income that's the greatest socialist solution of all time like literally no one will have to work uh correct um like said so so there is a benign scenario here which I think probably people will be happy with if if as long as we we achieve it which is sustainable abundance um which is if if um if everyone can have every like like like if you ask people like what's the future that you want um and uh I think a future where we haven't destroyed nature like you can still that we have the national parks we have the amazon rainforest still still there we haven't paved we haven't paved the paved the rainforest like the natural beauty is still there but but people have nonetheless everyone has abundance everyone has excellent medical care everyone has whatever goods and services they want and we would just it's kind of sounds like heaven it sounds like it's like the ideal socialist utopia.
And this idea that the only thing you should be doing with your time is working in order to pay your bills and feed yourself sounds kind of archaic considering the kind of technology that's at play. Yeah, like a world where that's not your concern at all anymore. Everybody has money for food, everybody has abundance, everybody has electronics in their home, everybody essentially has a high income. Now you can kind of do whatever you want, and your day can now be exploring your interests, doing things that you actually enjoy doing. Your purpose just has to shift instead of, you know, I'm a hard worker and this is what I do and that's how I define myself. Don't allow. You can fucking golf all day, you know? Whatever it is that you enjoy doing can now be your main pursuit.
Yeah, well that sounds crazy good. Yeah, that's that's the best. That's the benign scenario that we should be aiming for. The movie is actually pretty good. Yes. Um, like I think there is still this question of meaning, um, of like making sure people don't lose meaning, you know, like um, so hopefully they can find meaning in ways that are not derived from their work and purpose. Purpose for things that you, you know, find things that you do that you enjoy. But there's a lot of people that are independently wealthy that spend most of their time doing something they enjoy, right? And that could be the majority of people, pretty much everyone.
But we'd have to rewire how people approach life, um, which seems to be like acceptable because you're not asking them to be enslaved. You're exactly asking them the opposite: like no longer be burdened by financial worries. Now go do what you like. Yes, go fucking test pizza, do whatever you want pretty much. Um, so that's uh, that's probably the best case outcome. That sounds like the best case outcome period for the future. If you're looking at like how much people have struggled just to feed themselves all throughout history—food, shelter, safety—if all of that stuff can be fit, like how much would you solve a lot of the crime if there was a universal high income? Just think of that: like how much of crime is financially motivated? You know, the greater percentage of people that are committing crimes live in poor, disenfranchised neighborhoods.
So if there's no such thing anymore, if you really can achieve universal high income, yeah, that this is it sounds like a utopian. Yes. Um, I think some people commit crimes because they like committing crimes. Just, oh sure, some amount of that is they just enjoy it. There are people out there. Yeah, yeah. Um, and obviously they've become 40 years old, living a life like that; now all of a sudden, universal high income is not going to completely stop their instincts.
Yeah. I mean, I guess if you want to have like, say, read a science fiction book over some books that are probably like an accurate or the least inaccurate version of the future, I'd say I'd recommend um, the Iain Banks books called the Culture books. It's not actually a series; it's a it's like a sci-fi books about the future. They're generally called the Culture books, Iain Banks Culture books. It's worth reading those.
When did he write these? He started writing them in the 70s. Um, and I think the last one, I think it was written just like around, I don’t know, maybe 2010 or something. I'm not sure exactly. Yeah, yeah, Scottish author Iain Banks. Yeah, 87 to 2012. Yeah, and you're sorry, but he, but like he wrote the like, his first book considerably, was he like, he started writing that in the 70s and their books are incredible, by the way. Oh, incredible books, 4.6 stars on Amazon. Interesting.
So, um, this gives me hope. Oh yeah, yeah. This is the first time I've ever thought about it this way. Yeah. Well, I mean, if like I often ask people what is the future that you want? And they have to think about it for a second because, you know, they were usually tied up in whatever the daily struggles are. But when you say, what is the future that you want to do? And um, and generally sustainable abundance, or these folks say, what about a future where there's sustainable abundance? Like, oh yeah, that's a pretty good future.
Um, so, um, you know, if and and that future is attainable with AI and robotics. Um, but, you know, it's like said, not every path is a good path. Uh, there's this, but I think if we if we push it in the direction of maximally true seeking and curious, then I think AI will want to take our humanity and foster humanity. Um, because we're interesting.
Um, and if it hasn't been programmed to think that like all straight white males should die—which, germ and I was basically programmed to do, at least first, um, you know, the same to a fix that I hope they fixed it—but don't you think culturally like oh, we're getting away from that mindset and that people?
Yeah, I think we're getting a lot of preposterous that all is we're getting away from it. Um, so, uh, we are getting up. At least it knows the AI mostly knows to hide things but like like so there is that I think I still have that as or I had that as my like pen to post on X which was like uh hey wait a second guys we still have every AI except grock uh is saying that uh basically straight white male should die um and this is a problem and we should fix it. Um you know but simply me saying that is like tends to generally result and um you know them like oh that is kind of bad uh maybe we should just we should not have all straight white males die.
I think they'll say also all all straight Asian males should also die as well they'd like like they don't like uh generally that generally the AI and the media yet which which back back in the day and the media was um you know racist against black people and sexist against woman back in the day now it is racist against uh white people and Asians and and sexist against men. Um so are they just like being racist and sexist I think they just want to change the target um so uh but really they just shouldn't be uh racist and sexist at all.
You know yeah ideally that would be nice that would be nice um and it's kind of crazy that we're kind of moving in that general direction till around 2012 and then everything ramped up online and and everybody was accused of being a Nazi and everyone who was transphobic and racist and sexist and homophobic and everything got exaggerated to the point where it was this wild witch hunt where everyone was a columbal looking for racism. Yeah yeah totally um well but but they they were openly anti white and often openly anti Asian and then this new sentiment that you cannot be racist against white people because racism is yeah power and influence just okay no stop.
Yeah, racism is is racism in the absolute so um, you know this and it just needs to be consistency so if it's okay to have uh let's say black or Asian or Indian or a pride it should be okay to have white pride too. Yeah um so that's just a that's just a consistency question. Um so uh you know um if it's okay to be proud of one religion it should be okay to be proud of I guess all religions provided there that they're they're not like uh oppress yeah or or don't like as long as part of that religion is not like exterminating uh people who are not in that religion right.
Um so uh it's really just like a consistency bias um or just a like ensuring consistency to eliminate bias. Um so if it is possible to be racist against uh one race it is possible to be racist against any race so of course logically yes yeah and arguing against that that's when you know your country it's a it's a it's a logical inconsistency that makes a eyes go insane and people and people go insane yes.
Oh more like like the like you can simultaneously say um that uh that there's this systemic uh racist oppression but also that races don't exist that that that race race race is a social construct like which is it you know. Um you also can say that um you know anyone who steps put in America is is automatically an American except for the the people that originally came here exactly exactly except for the colonizers yeah except for the evil colonizers who came here right so which one is it like right if you if a symmetry step put in a place you are that you're are just as American as everyone else then um that would have applied if you apply that consistently then the original white cellist will also just as American as everyone else yeah logically logically.
One more thing that I have to talk to you about before you leave is the rescuing of the people from the space station which uh we talked about you were planning it the last time you were here. Um the the lack of coverage that that got in mainstream media was one of those shocking things. Yeah, they totally memory hold that thing wild yes it's like it it's like it didn't exist those people would be dead they'd be stuck up there. Well that they'd probably still be alive but they're they're they're having bone density issues uh because of prolonged exposure to zero gravity. Well, they were already up there for like eight months right?
Yeah, which is an insanely long time it takes forever to recover just from that. Yeah, they're only supposed to be at the space station for three to six months maximum so one of the things you told me that was so crazy was that you could have gotten them sooner but yeah but for political reasons uh that they did not want uh SpaceX or me to be associated with um returning the astronauts before the election that is so wild that that's a fact uh yeah well that we we absolutely could have done it.
Um so but even though you did do it and you did it after the election it received almost no media coverage anyway yes because nothing good can the the media which is essentially a fall-off legacy mainstream media as a fall-off. propaganda machine um and so anything any story that is positive about someone who is not a part of the sort of fall-off tribe will not uh get any coverage so i i could save a bus load of orphans and and it it wouldn't get a single new story yeah it's it really is nuts it was nuts to watch because even though it was discussed on podcasts and it was discussed on x and it was discussed on social media it's still it was a blip in the new cycle it was very quick it was in and out and because it was successful successful launch and you did rescue those people nobody got hurt and there was nothing really to there was no blood to talk about right just fucking in and out yeah absolutely.
Well and as you slow first hand with the Starship launch i Starship is um you know by you know at least by some some would consider to be like the most amazing uh you know engineering project that's happening on earth right now outside of like you know maybe AI or AI and robotics but but certainly in terms of spectacle to see it is uh the most spectacular thing that is happening on earth right now is the Starship launch program which anyone can go and see if they just go to south texas and just you can just run a hotel room at low cost in it's south pardirale island or in brownsville and you can see the launch and you can drive right right past the factory because it's on a public highway um better gets no coverage or what coverage it does get was like a rocket blew up so much right yeah he's a fuck with the rocket blew up like the the the the the the Starship program is vastly vastly more capable than the entire Apollo moon program vastly more capable.
This is a spaceship that is designed to make life multi planetary to carry uh millions of people across the heavens to another planet the the Apollo program could could only send astronauts to the moon for a few hours at a time like they could send two at the entire Apollo program could only send astronauts to visit the moon very briefly and then for a few hours and then depart the Starship program could create an entire uh lunar base with a million people they send the mag the magnitudes are good different very different magnitudes here so what was the political resistance basically no no coverage of it.
Yeah the but one of the ask you is like what so what were the conversations leading up to the rescue like when you were like I can get them out way quicker yeah um um well I mean we're you know erase this a few times but it was the the I was told instructions came from the White House that uh you know that that there should be no attempt to rescue before the election that should be illegal um that that really should be a horrendous miscarriage of justice for those poor people that were stuck on that. um yeah it it is it is crazy um have you ever talked to those folks afterwards did you have conversations with them yeah I mean they're they're they're not going to say anything political to you know they're not like they're never going to say thank you yeah yeah yeah well that's nice yeah yeah absolutely so um but the instructions came down from the White House you cannot rescue them because politically this is a bad hand of cards I mean they didn't say because politically it's a bad hand of cards but they they just said uh they weren't they were not interested in uh any rescue operation before the election yeah so what did that feel like I wasn't surprised but it's crazy.
Yeah because Biden could have authorized it and they could have said the Biden administration is helping bring those people back throw you a little funding give you some money to do it the Biden administration they funded these people being returned uh yeah the Biden administration was not exactly my best friend especially especially after I um you know you know help Trump get elected get elected which I mean some people still think you know Trump is like the devil basically um and I mean I think I think Trump actually he's not perfect but but uh he's not evil Trump is not evil I mean I I spent a lot of time with him and he's I mean he's a product of his time uh but he is not he's not evil um no I don't think he's evil either but if you look at the media coverage the media the media is the treason like he's pretty pretty it's pretty shocking if you look at the amount of negative coverage like one of the things that I looked at the other day was mainstream media coverage of you Trump a little a bunch of different public figures and then like 96% negative or something crazy and then mumbdani which is like 95% positive right.
Um I mean what mumbdani is is is is a charismatic swindler um I I mean he got a hand at to him like he he did he can lie at the stage um but he is just been a swindler his entire life um and um you know and uh I think he what he's I mean he's likely to win like he's likely to be mayor of New York New York City very likely yeah very likely I think what polymarket hasn't it what what is the nine yeah that sounds pretty likely that's great I got to make sure the six percent are you um so so yeah so that's um what's also like who's on the other side the fucking guardian angel guy with the beret and and who doesn't even have a party like the democrats don't even want him so you have those two options um and then you have the young kids who are like finally socialism yeah they they don't know what they're talking about obviously.
Um so you know like like you just look at this say how many boats come from Cuba to Florida and how many but and how many boats because you know there's like a constant I always think how many boats are accumulating on the shores of Florida coming from from Cuba right um there's a whole bunch of free boats that you could if you want to go take them back to Cuba it's pretty close yeah but for some reason people don't do that what why why why are the boats only coming in this direction um well who is who are the most rabid capitalists in America the fucking Cubans absolutely yeah they're like we've seen how this story goes we do not want exactly fuck off I don't know if you listen Miami they don't want to hear any bullshit they don't want to hear any socialism bullshit they're like no no no we know what this actually is this isn't just some fucking dream yeah it's extreme government oppression.
Um that's what it was in this is nightmare and like the like an obvious way you can tell which uh which ideology is is the bad one is um who has to which ideology is building a wall to keep people in and prevent them from escaping right like so East Berlin built the both the wall not West Berlin right they built the wall because people were trying to escape from communism to West Berlin but there wasn't anyone going from West Berlin to East Berlin right that's why the communist had to build a wall to keep people from escaping they're gonna have to build a wall around New York City yeah that so this guy is kind of an obvious well that ideology is problematic if that ideology has to build a wall to keep people in with machine guns yes and shoot you if you try to leave also there's no examples of it being successful ever we're working out for people no there's examples of a bunch of lies like North Korea give this land to the state we'll be in control of food no one goes hungry no now no one can grow food but the government and we'll tell you exactly what you eat and you eat very little right yeah.
What when you say mom don is a swindler I know he has a bunch of fake accents that he used to use yeah and you know but what else is he done that makes him a swindler um well I guess if you say uh what I mean if you say if you say to any audience whatever that audience wants to hear instead of what instead of having a consistent message I would say that that is a swindler thing to do and yeah um yeah but but he is he is charismatic yeah good-looking guy smart charismatic yeah great on a microphone yeah yeah yeah yeah and what the young people want to see you know like this ethnic guy who's young and vibrant and has all these socialist ideas aligns with them and you know there are a bunch of broke dorks just out of college like yay let's vote for this and there's a lot of them and they're activated they're motivated yeah um um I guess we'll we'll see what happens here what do you think happens if he wins um because like 1% of New York City is responsible for 50% of their tax base which is kind of nuts 50% of the tax revenue comes from 1% of the population and those are the people that you're scaring off you know you lose one half of one percent you know hopefully this this the stuff he's he said you know about government takeovers of like that all the stores should be the government basically one of these said that I think he said government they want to do government supermarkets some state run or city run supermarkets yeah.
Um well it just the the government is the DMV at scale so um you have to say like do you want the DMV running your supermarket right um was your last experience at the DMV amazing uh and if it wasn't you probably don't want the government doing things imagine if they were responsible for getting you blueberries yeah it's not gonna be good I mean the the thing about you know communism is is it was it was it was all bread lines and bad shoes um you know if do you want ugliest shoes and bread lines because that's what communism gets you let's get me interesting to see what happens and whether or not they snap out of it and over correct and go to some Rudy Giuliani type character next because it's been a long time since there was any sort of Republican leader there and we let we live in the in the most interesting of times um because we face the you know simultaneously face civilizational decline um and incredible prosperity um and these these timelines are interwoven um so um if mumbdani's policies are put into place especially at scale um it it would be a catastrophic decline in living standards not just for the rich but for everyone um as as has been the case it with with every um every for every every socialist experiment um or every and yeah so um but but then as you pointed out the irony is that like um the ultimate capitalist thing of AI and robotics enabling uh prosperity for all and abundance of goods and services actually the capitalist uh implementation of AI and robotics assuming it goes down the the good path uh is is actually what results in the communist utopia because fate is fate is an irony maximizer right and an actual socialism of maximum abundance of high income people universal high income yeah that like the the problem with communism uh is is this universal low income um it's it's not that everyone gets elevated it's that everyone gets oppressed except for a very small minority of politicians who live a life for luxury that's what's happening every time it's been done yeah.
Um so um but then the the actual communist utopia of everyone gets anything they want will be it will be if if we'll be achieved if it is achieved it will be achieved via capitalism because fate is an irony maximizer I feel like we should probably end it on that is anything else most ironic outcome is the most likely especially if entertaining well everything has been entertaining as long as the bad things aren't happening to you it's quite fascinating and it's never a boring moment yes so there's i do have a theory of why um like if if if simulation theory is true then um it is actually very likely that uh the most interesting outcome is the is the most likely because only the simulations that are interesting will continue the simulators will stop any simulations that are boring because they're they're not interesting.
But here's the question about the simulation theory is the simulation run by anyone or yes it would be run by someone it would be run by some some some force the pro the proga like in in this reality that we live in we we run simulations all the time like so when we try to figure out if the rockets uh gonna make it we run um thousands sometimes millions of simulations just to figure out which which uh path is the good path for the rocket and and where can it go wrong where can it fail.
But we when we do these i say at this point millions of simulations of what can happen with the rocket um we ignore the ones that are where everything goes right um because we we we just care about the we have we have to address the situations where it goes wrong um so um so so basically in in and for for AI simulations as well like like all these things we we keep the simulations going that are the most interesting to us um so if simulation theory is accurate if if it is true who knows um then the uh the the the simulators what well only can they will continue to run the simulations that most interesting they're therefore from a Darwinian perspective um the only surviving simulations will be the interest the most interesting ones and in order to avoid getting turned off uh the only rule is you must keep it interesting or you will if or you will because the boring simulations will be terminated.
Are you still completely convinced that this is a simulation i didn't say i was completely convinced well you said it's like the odds of it not being or in the billions like i said it's not completely because you're saying there's a chance what are the odds that we're in base reality um well given that given that that we're able to create increasingly sophisticated simulations so everything you say video games and how video games have gone from very simple video games like pong with you know two rectangles in a square to video games today being um photorealistic uh with millions of people playing simultaneously and all of that has occurred in our lifetime.
So if that trend continues uh video games will be indistinguishable from reality the fidelity of the game will be such that you you don't know if that what you're seeing is a real video or a fake video um and like AI generated videos at this point you like you can sometimes tell it's an AI generated video but often you cannot tell and soon you will not really just not be able to tell so um if if that's happening in our direct observation then and we'll create millions if not billions of photorealistic simulations of reality then one of the odds that we're in base reality versus someone else's simulation well isn't it just possible that the simulation is inevitable but that we are in base reality building towards a simulation?
We're making simulations um so um we're making simulations we make like like you can just think of like photorealistic video games as being simulations um and especially as you apply AI in these video games the characters in the video games will be incredibly interesting to talk to they won't just have a limited dialogue tree where if you go to like the the crossbow merchant all like and you try to talk about any subject except buying a crossbow they just want to talk about selling you a crossbow.
Um but with with with AI based non-player characters you can you'll be able to have an elaborate conversation with no dialogue tree well that might be the solution for meaning for people just log in and you could be a fucking vampire and whatever you live in avatar land you could do it you could do whatever you want and you don't have to think about money or food ready player one yeah literally yeah but with higher living standards yeah you don't have to be a little trailer.
I mean i i think this people do want to have some amount of struggle or something they want to push against um but but it could be you know playing as sports or playing a game or it could be easily playing a game yeah and especially playing a game where you're now no longer worried about like physical attributes like athletics like bad joints and hips and stuff like that now it's completely digital but yet you do have meaning and pursuing this thing that you're doing all day whatever the fuck that means.
It's gonna be weird it's gonna be interesting it's gonna be very interesting um the most the most interesting and and usually ironic outcome is the most likely that's a good predictor of the future thank you thanks for being here really appreciate appreciate your time you know you're busy man so this means a lot.
