$150? Yeah, that seems like overkill. It is because you can find it for like 30, 50, 30. So what happens at $150 price point?
It doesn't have another $60 price point. I think in quality, I just don't want to, um, I want to give myself the best opportunity for that motherfucking other stuff. Just stop working. Not sure.
That's all. It's just, it's just quality. It ain't, it's nothing else. Like what else could possibly be?
You know what I'm saying? It's just quality. I mean, you know, I'm sure the rest of them ain't gonna get those. Well, yeah, I'm like, what up, buddy?
What up, Sean? Hey, I'm sure the kids are gonna probably count like 30 30 buck one, something like that. But you're saying, just saying, I ain't playing that clearly. And what's even better is that, um, I can find it this summer.
I'm gonna use it. That's all I want to say. They're gonna be in the wind. Well, I got to go online.
I think I saw some of Amazon, but once I saw that, I wasn't exactly 11 threes with what up, Randall? This is what exactly what I'm talking about. Well, something like this. I think the little one that I saw that, uh, this is it.
Yeah. But the one that I saw fan part at the bottom, what a little, little things at the bottom did were a little bitter, but it's it right here. Never. Right.
Colleen. Hey, there. This is it right here. It's right here.
She like I want what you see. You said, you said, oh God, that motherfucker looks so refreshing. Like, yeah, special back part right there. Right.
It's got no, I'm not even going to see what I said. I said, I told you that shit is dope. That shit is dope. Yo, I fucking hate everybody.
What up Travis? What up? What up? What up?
What up? What up? What up? Yeah, because I keep getting this notification for this post.
The same post. Really? Same exact group. And like, can you catch it with just the overtations?
No, I can't because it's the family group. Oh shit. I can't. Yeah.
I mean, I have but I'm completely different. I got like this. I love my folks. Yikes.
Same. Like Uber yikes. It's funny because my brother and my own cousins were always been more family oriented than me when it comes to extended family. Like with the medians, of course, you know, like extended family.
Y'all, y'all cool. I love y'all but I'm just not. We not the, we not the hangout every day type of folk anymore. These kids, yeah, it was a little different, but well, one of your things is you have a family in the house.
Yeah. That's my, uh, my family in the house was extended family. Right. Right.
I grew up with just Chris and his sisters. So, for all intents and purposes, we're my little brother and sisters. Right. Right.
Like, like for us, I know early on, we were being babysitted by my grandmother as she lived with my aunt and her kids. So we would see them, we would see Robbie, uh, lady and Loretta every day. He was seen every day except for weekends. Well, except, uh, yeah, except for the weekends.
We would see my other cousins on the weekends, uh, my aunt Betty's kids, Theresa Tanya, Janelle, all of them. They went to the same, uh, church. They friends. That's basically what they were saying.
But, um, I would say that even though we would see Robbie, lady and Loretta every day back then, there was a separation because, at least in my mind, because we had a statement. Now, it made a complete sense. I suppose my mom would do that, uh, because that's where she stayed down there and it was a finish. It's not like it was just some polling damn ground, right?
Not a room. But I Chris went out, went out, went out, went out. Um, like it was a finish basement and led to the backyard, which was dope. You know what I'm saying?
But because we were mostly only allowed downstairs, we were allowed a large percentage of the early time down there, you know, our cousin's web says, you know what I'm saying? It's all two different families living in a, a few units. That's what you're in the house. That's what it felt like.
It did occasionally, right? Occasionally. I don't remember my cousin, I remember coming downstairs. She would come downstairs.
She would play my sister and I was like, yeah, then after she would go upstairs. We could go upstairs. It felt different. Now when we got a little bit older, we were allowed, uh, rain in the whole house, right?
Basically rain in the whole house. But even then it was made for the goodness of not your house, thanks, right? So it's not just a communal house. Yeah.
Yeah. Really living together. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
You know, maybe you're friendly neighbors. They're about friendly neighborhood cousins. You know, and then once they moved, my grandma of course kept house because that's actually her house, but then they moved to the east side. After that long after Gerard was born moving on up to the east side, I mean, I was up.
It wasn't. It wasn't. It wasn't. I talked to the neighborhood.
It was a new neighborhood. They had these new free trade people. Okay. And they want that.
I remember going over there. They want that. Like they want that. But you know, it's the east side.
So how long is that going to? Yeah, it wind up, you know, it became folded into the rest of the neighborhood. You know what I'm saying? They're just surrounding area folded in.
Yeah. Yeah. The house was like a town home type thing, but it was nice. It was nice.
It was definitely nice. At least in comparison to places like that. But you know, the further they moved away, the less of course we got the same. Like I didn't I saw Gerard when he was when he was a baby still in that little walker thing.
And then I didn't see really Gerard again until he was like five. And he came over my grandfather brought him over. And then of course that's when we got back into, you know, because I still said Nicko was named at me. I mean, my aunt asked me, isn't your middle nature right?
I don't know. I saw what I was saying. He ain't spelled the same. Right.
His spell with a J. My spell with a G. But I mean, Tito tomato. No, not quite.
Not quite. Not good. I'm good. But see, yeah, again, that makes sense because like I said, I was like, I'm gonna say six three.
I was living with just Chris and assisted. And then when I moved with my mother, we lived right around the corner from Aaron and his and his mother. So you can kind of understand why just Chris and Aaron are like my little brothers. Yeah, yeah, it tracks.
It tracks. It definitely tracks. Yeah, this is one of the family dynamic things. And then when you get older, because for me, because there was always a little distance.
And then when we stopped going to church, it was the other thing, we became kind of distant from my baby's kids. Not super distant because we live relatively close. The neighborhood, you know what I'm saying? But it just, it wasn't, it wasn't that same thing.
And for me, when I got a certain age, I started to venture and find family elsewhere with friends and you know, they replaced the everyday dynamic that we started with, Ravi, ladies and rep, they replaced that. I would see them every day. They go over my house. I'd be over there.
No, I didn't. I didn't walk out my front door and one of them, I was like, I'm gonna go here. Yeah. That's what I think.
So then it's like I older, you know, people change like, interests evolve. Things. Certain things you're interested in anymore. Don't really speak the same slang.
That's how far that was. Like the shit they prioritized wasn't the shit that I prioritized in vice versa. Yeah. So it just wasn't, some of the things I was into was diametrically opposed to the things they was into.
You know what I'm saying? So, so yeah, it wasn't, that wasn't something, you know, and I was saying about my aunt, my aunt, regardless of any and all of it, she always stayed in contact with the baby. Yeah, that's, that's saying he's gonna make a whole bunch of noise part of this damn show because that's what he does. He's actually part of my monologue too.
Yeah, but yes, he is a loud, super talkative jerk off who got that. But he's baby. So, you know, I have this thing with my babies, like I was so green by that day and it's thing about babies. Babies are innocent.
They don't, they haven't been corrupted as of yet. Thanks. They are annoying. But I mean, listen, baby, a baby's gonna baby.
I don't really know shit yet. They're kind of annoying. You understand, but this is for me, this is cross species. I might wait with all baby.
And I hate to see people mistreat them or get them a bad experience. Something they got to grow up with. Think about when they 30, like, man, stop it. You know what I'm saying?
You can pick it up. You can pick it up. So he gets some allowance. But now I have to go through the whole rigmarole of keeping him away from my studio corn.
I mean, of course, because at this age, he's still chewy bite him. Yeah. All right. What do you mean?
No, no, he's my mature one of these shoes. Not in the way he thinks. You know what I'm saying? No, there was a, um, there was a show I don't know if it still comes on.
Where this dude was teaching, he was going around teaching people how to deal with their troublesome cats. I used to call him the cat bitch because some of the things that he was advocating to me is not conducive to you living comfortably in the house with certain types of cats. All right. Way too, allowed way too much in my view for certain shit.
I'm not going for it. You're not getting on my dining room table. Oh, you're doing that. That's not doing that.
That's not and there's a lot of ways you can correct that behavior. None of them should involve you hitting them. Yeah. Yeah.
Hit the cat to do that. However, you can spray them with water. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. This is not what I'm saying.
He made a passing comment once. What's our thought about? That's a human. What?
Every morning you go in the shower. Boy, does he? I'm saying the question is still out there. Yeah, I mean, I'm still out there.
That's not going for every, every, I was going to say brand of cat. It's like a word for every sneeze. Okay. Every out of P of cat.
Yo, goody says I have my grandkid indoctrinated. I mean, that's what her when we say about, okay, I'll get you to the way about got you. I mean, yes, you know, yeah, it went, when I was a Muslim, all the grandkids that was around at that time, I had them all calling my moms by the Arabic from the word grandmother. So yeah, that the whole type of things that, in fact, I think, uh, Robert still does it.
He was the first one to do it. He was the first he was the first one to do it. He was the first one to do it. That's it.
So that's right. He still does it. But again, it's the other experiences and indoctrination. And I don't like it.
They're doing these kids. And I've always the first to say it's the, um, you, it's the adults that are on the kids, yo. I mean, adults, yeah, always do it. Always like the kids want to have bad experiences with other kids, but there's nothing more enduring than the damage adults to the kids, bro.
Thanks. The fucking suck. Um, so we had 11 11. Now do we, I want to kind of mention something, but I don't want to mention details.
Yeah, here's the thing. Uh, I don't know. Right. I just wanted to skip a little fast.
And because there's another point I want to make that karma has something to do with that. Something you said. I was talking about it. I'm a hot treat people.
Yeah. Yeah. So I just want to, yeah, but I'll give any real detail. All right.
Let me say this. And then you can pick it back off. Okay. Okay.
No matter what. In the relatively soon future, some changes are going to be coming. Yes. To the way that the podcast is.
So, okay. That's a great. No matter what. That's a great no matter what happens.
Yeah. Some changes going to be coming. So, uh, for those of you who don't know, having to keep track, which includes us. Yeah, it just found us.
This is officially our 250th episode. Don't want to Marco. Straight like that. So that's a big deal for us.
We had not been keeping track of how many it was. And it's funny because we potentially got an opportunity, um, to grow the show even more. I had to move into it. Potentially, right?
And in part, the reason that we, uh, were presented with the opportunity, potentially, is because of the certain way that we conduct ourselves when dealing with people. Thanks. Because as much as we don't like people. No, no, no, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, say right.
Um, I don't want that to be understated. Yeah. Right. Right.
Right. As much as the test. People. Um, we also don't believe that respect is earned.
We believe disrespect is earned. Yeah. I'm not going to just disrespect you out of the plea. No, I'm not going to.
What's up, Nessa? What's up? Um, like, uh, it's, it's one of them things where you wind up potentially setting yourself up for either good or bad by how you treat people the first time you meet them. And we've had opportunity, even if you're on the show, to extend grace to other, uh, contact creators.
And when you do that, and treat them with respect and, and basically making my extended family, sometimes a good shit comes back. That is the, uh, that's what I'm looking for. The benefits of proper networking, you know, because it's not as hard as people think it is. I had a conversation with a friend of mine who was talking about, he did his network and I told him I was like, bro, um, it's not as difficult as people make it out to be.
It's literally you just treating people the way you would like to be treated. That's a little bit of what it is. And if they're in the same creative space, you will business space as you and y'all engage and do whatever, treat them like you want to be treated. That's it.
It's that simple. And that person or people will remember that. And if an opportunity comes up, that they can extend to somebody else, odds are they're going to go towards people to treat them like something as opposed to people treating them like shit. I'm trying to make it seem like they were lower than them and they're branding a card on them.
All you got to do, it's really not. Unless you're an asshole, then I see you. It's difficult, then it's difficult. It's difficult, it's your asshole, right?
But I think, um, I am a, I am not a malicious asshole. I'm an asshole, but I'm not a malicious asshole. And that's the difference. Y'all think that's the difference.
Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So, um, I suppose you guys know details as it comes along, but when I say to you that this is potentially really good for the show, it is really good for the show. The other thing I wanted to bring up, so a longtime friend of mine, Anthony, his brother died last week.
So I want to do the public condolences to his brother, Arnold, his younger brother too. I know what that's like. He called me, it's like 1.30 in the morning. It's crushed.
You know what I'm saying? And, um, he said, call me because he knew I was saying what that felt like. And I do. And I told him things that would help me, sorry to tell me, you know what I'm saying?
So, like I said, condolences to Anthony. I don't have to assist us right before the seventh grade. And some of before the seventh grade. I mean, then he always been a solid dude, even though we fought before him.
That comes with territory, but you know, he's been a solid dude. And, you know, he's going through some stuff like that. So, shout out to him. The other thing is, we just going to go right into it.
I don't know how long your weekends. This is nothing. Okay. That's I don't let's get the bad thing.
Listen, it is what it is. Things happen. Yeah. Yeah.
How about that? This week has been very revealing. Just the way people think. And a lot of it has to do around AI.
And there is a bigger point to be made with that other than the technology itself. Just about human nature, but humans behave. So, you had two big news stories. I don't know if one of them is super big or some of them heard of it, but the other one was kind of big in it.
I'll do that first. Italy, as outlawed at chat GPT, did you privacy concerns? So, the National Data Protection Agency of Italy announced that it would immediately prohibit access to chat GPT and that it would look into open AI to compete at grade. The organization charged chat GPT with failing to verify that its users must be 13 or older, were of legal age, and with having no legal basis that supports the enormous gathering and storage of personal data in order to train the chat line.
Now, you add that with a few of the biggest names in current artificial intelligence signing a letter talking about pausing development for 69 months, basically because of fear. At least this is the stated reason. That's not the reason I think they're doing it, but this is the stated reason. So, back to Italy for a second, let's be specific what they're talking about.
So, the data they're mostly concerned about is people's login information, those that have paid subscriptions, and they're payment data for the pro version of the chat GPT. And then also the type of prompts people use in the chat, like, you know, in virtual property and all that because I've used, I put some intellectual property in there to get certain results that I want in all of that. So, but all of those things right there are, to my view, valid concerns. I don't know if banning it is a thing, but this is their country.
I could give a fuck what they do over there. That's their shit, right? Thanks. So, let me first get my bias out there right now, upfront, honest.
I am here to stand cat in the back when we hear this for a while. But also, so, me personally, I am very much in favor of continued research and development into AI. And I am not afraid at all of all the doomsday scenarios. That is why you fail.
That Hollywood is conditioned most of us to reference every time a conversation about research development, AI has had. I think for me, when I found more disturbing than those scenarios, it's just a lack of awareness about a modern homo-sake in behavior and activity over the last 300,000 years, quote the parcel record. Some of the most oblivious criticism about this technology completely ignores the fact that everything they're afraid AGI is going to do to us. We do to us.
Yeah, that doesn't. I can tell you that doesn't. No, there's a, I'm kidding. I promise you.
It's amusing because, let's get some of them. Yeah, it's going to enslave us. Sorry, I'm gonna tell them. Shut up.
It's my go-dome. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, the AI is going to enslave us. Check. Okay.
It's going to take our privacy and use our data against us. Listen, yeah. I promise you. To a point, I know all of your, all of it, all of it.
Then one of the things where they were afraid of the leaks, that this could be leaked. And that's, I guess, it'll be one of the reasons for banning it. And that sounds valid, right? I mean, if you was afraid of something wasn't secure enough and there's people's personal data in it, you can say, Hey, oh, whoa, whoa, get that straight first before you bring that in here.
I wonder though, did they do the same thing with Google? January 2023. Maybe. I don't like to say I'm just curious because in January, there was a breach.
The vast majority of the world. No. I remember something about Italy doing that with Google. Yeah, or Apple.
Yeah, it might have been Apple. It might have been Apple. Yeah. Um, but in December, 2018, 52.5 million uses that.
I mean, too. If the Apple league never happened, we wouldn't have found out about the whole that's a fact. That's a fact. So I mean, yeah, I take the that same year, 2018 in March, 500,000 views of that.
Oh, go, go, go. Then it was an adoration compromise. This is 2016 compromise, one million ad choices. So what I'm saying is those things take place, leaks take place all the time.
Part of what I think the hysteria around this is, is because this is the new thing. It's the new thing. And we don't do well with new things. We don't.
But to me, the most valid critique I've heard is the one I've given myself. It's humans who are creating this thing. Like to me, that's the biggest threat. The fact that humans are creating this, I'll put this together.
But you see, unfortunately, we're the only game in town. That's it. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?
Like, but let's go over some of the other stuff that I've heard just this last few weeks. It's not really a it's not really intelligent. It's just a large language model that is stealing data from humans. It couldn't work if not for the information it's getting from humans.
When you were born, but that's how it works. Learning learning isn't creating energy out of nowhere. That's not that's not how learning works. It's not how that works.
Like even a fucking an invention is a collection of previous things that were invented. Bro, you're standing on the shoulder. All of us are standing on the shoulders of giants. Thanks.
You were born, you were birthing to a world that was already doing shit before you arrogant, myopic ass was even. Here's the thing. We're not going to pretend like humans aren't stupid. That's never been my point.
It was in. But wait, all kinds of data was already here. So yeah, I'm not just talking about sensory data, you know, the kind you can absorb by just human senses. Right.
I'm talking about that. I'm talking about other types of data. The stuff you get that was already discovered, research, and identified for you. Yeah.
By people who preceded your existence. So you wouldn't know much about the world, either, if you didn't get a huge percentage of data available from humans that already did the work for you. So why is this a negative for AI? So do we do I now get to discredit all the college degrees now?
To be fair, I don't think that one fits into the category. Well, no, this is what I've heard this week because these people, those people are just stupid. Oh, but I heard this from someone who typically isn't this is the problem. I'm here and it's a people.
My man Adam runs everything. He released the video about Adam. See, here's a thing about Adam. Adam be wrong a lot.
Yeah. Yeah. Because there's a, see, the thing with Adam runs everything, the show was that there was a team. Yes.
Yes. Back checking and all that other good stuff. And to his credit, if he's, if he finds, if he's proven that he was incorrect about something, he will go back and say 100%, 100%. The difference between Adam, the character and Adam, the human is that a lot of what Adam talks about nowadays is things that he feels.
Yeah. And then you'll find better to go with to cooperate what he felt already instead of letting the data lead him to his opinion. And that's what, and also sometimes his data is dated because a lot of stuff in the video was dated. But when the other ones I've heard, it's not thought because it's not original.
Listen, this is not me saying that it is because I don't think I'm qualified to make that assessment. But I hope you're joking about it not being thought because it's not original. It's stupid. So that's the same way we're going with.
The same argument. I don't know. What exactly are they saying? Because like, you think you're out there having original thoughts?
They're not actually saying anything. Nothing. They're just tossing these words salad up because I can guarantee you that it represents your thoughts you have. I promise you.
I'm so excited. No, not even that. I promise you. They're just parodying someone else.
Yeah. Kindly. With these criticisms. Yes.
They're parotying somebody else that made this exact same criticism and they're putting into their content. Look, even if you say, right, there's something you thought of, no one else thought of before, I guarantee you it was a result of data you consume, those experiences, conversations, educational process, media, whatever. So look, it took me 54 years to have this current iteration of my brain. All of the dollars I take from outside stimulus, right?
But let me guess, AI is disqualified because they can consume the process faster. Now here's another one. This one make you laugh. It makes mistakes.
It gives out misinformation at times. Now, that's me. This is you're about to hear me laughing in Fox News and go following in Twitter. Like, it can't do this.
It can't do that. Well, neither could we, three billion years ago. We was microorganisms and hydrothermal vents eating simple carbon compounds. We didn't even have an eye.
Whatever it doesn't have now is not an argument for what it could have with further development. That's not a good argument. Because you see, first of all, artificial intelligence, that's study, it's not even news. But around, it's like 1956.
So I suppose somebody might be a bit of envy because even though it's so really early in this part of development, AI isn't going to take nearly as long as it's a human seat. So I guess that's why some of the vitriol I'm hearing is very revealing. So I'm sure you're giving them too much credit. But people, it could be instinctual.
And I'm going to tell you why. When I talk about the cat, this is the part. So like I just told you, we got a new kitten. His name is Luther.
My Luther the King. And he usually just goes about his kitty business, you know, being annoying, making a bunch of unnecessary noise. And despite what a lot of y'all think about cats, also begging for attention. They do do that.
Now, before you got here, the youngest cat was Maya. She was the baby. Well, she's grown now, but still has kitten waves about her. You know, of course.
So now that Luther's here, all she can do is kiss and growl at him. And I wonder why she was doing that. So I looked it up by the way, using Microsoft. It gave me an answer and a link for the citation and I checked it just like I checked you assholes.
I mean, I don't know. That's a little bit of saying, you're saying, you're saying. And the reason they gave is that it's territorial and defensive. She's hissing at him because she's scared.
And that's what some of you are doing. You're hissing at the AI because you're scared. Now, I'm not going completely dismissed that photo. Something because I think they're admitting that they're scared.
Yeah, we see it. It looks silly. It looks silly to me. I'm not going to dismiss that because I don't share it because I think that would be super asshole.
But I will say this, every single paradigm shifting technology and innovation ever produced elicits this type of hysteria. Y'all just y'all haven't just adopted fear. Y'all were born to live molded by it. It's the strongest motivation you humans seem to have.
No, for six million years. And when many of you see, yeah, facts, when many of you see AI, you project your demonstrated shabby, petty, violent, ignorant, compulsions onto it. And maybe that's fair because after all, it is humans that are developing. And that's possibly a cost to alarm.
Or maybe it's a call for vigilance and responsible development and some goddamn responsibility on our behalf to make sure that these corporations, these governments prioritize us and it's more. See, that's the thing that I think a lot of us is missing. That's my dream. Of course it is.
But it still needs to be said because just because you won't do it, don't mean you're not responsible for doing it. You know what I'm saying? Right. We can shape this tech anyway, we want, but we want if we keep reacting like frightened primitives that just saw lightning strike a tree and set it on fire.
Like at a certain point, I was kind of scared. I've seen it. I've seen it. I've seen it.
And I went full on hookup booger. You know what I'm saying? I saw that shit, but like it's really up to us. It's really up to us to hold their feet to the fire with how technology is used and how then society goes forward because a lot of things will change.
This shit has been growing fast as a motherfucker in the last year. Just the last year. So it's no telling where it's going to be at in another year. And everybody thought it was going to go for the automation of the physical labor jobs first.
No, it's going for white collage and pencil pushing motherfucker and you create a motherfucker. It's confused, but it doesn't necessarily have to replace you. It can literally just be a tool you use to be more productive, get more done and less than time. Then the next step is up to us to look at our government and say check this out.
Hores. This work culture thing y'all got going this way, have been going this way since I started the industrial age, that shit got to change. It's got involved with the new tech like everything else did, which you're not going to do is use this the same way you use automation. You sold us that pipe dream.
Oh, automation, you guys will have to work less, you get to work less and you know, have the same type of money. That's not what happened. Quill Operations use automation and say, yeah, you're right. They can produce more, but they'll work same amount of fucking hours and we will get more done.
We can make this decision. We can make this decision. Now, whether we will or not, to SBJ's point is a pipe dream, but you don't get to walk away from your responsibility as an adult in a society where things move and gears work. You don't get to escape that responsibility because one way or another, you're going to get in the ass by it.
What you don't do speaks about as much as what you do. So if you didn't tie your shoe before you decided to walk down steps, you bust your ass on you. Just saying, I'm not afraid. Not afraid.
I'm afraid of y'all. What I'm afraid of it. Just saying, that's fine. That's fine.
I'm pissing at the AI. No, keep pissing at the AI. Just do it right. Hit the people making it.
Hit the people that's going to legislate it. Actually, hit that in. See why everybody hits back. That's how y'all talk.
Okay, we got you. I'm going to learn the process right now. I'm going to learn the process right now. I'm really interested in what would happen if you want to know my opinion on why they're actually stopping for six to nine months.
I believe personally that it's to get their patent shit together and to position themselves to be able to sue the fuck out of motherfuckers because a lot of smaller upstart companies are coming along with language models that are patent off of their own or remnants of it and creating their thing and doing shit like that. But if you think that it's a smart idea or that they're actually going to stop for six to nine months or bugging because let's say everybody on that list aside that letter, the size they're going to stop and not build anything further than GPT for six to nine months is China going to stop? Well, y'all signed that. So I did some research into this and somebody brought up a very good point.
Someone said the same thing you just said and the person's response was, well, here's the issue with that argument. This stuff doesn't come from nowhere, just like one of those dumbass arguments that you mentioned from one of those people earlier. This stuff doesn't just come from nowhere. There are things that are required, not if it's the half-sophat.
Realistically, it's almost going to take at least six months for something for them to have the tools necessary to be able to actually make something that's better than PPP4. And that is a great point, which is to me also why it's kept for them to say we want to pause. We want to voluntarily pause. It's kept because you have no choice.
But this is the other reason why it feels like cap because knowing that you putting these numbers, not arbitrary, six numbers, not arbitrary numbers, you know it's going to take. It was targeted. That was specifically the number that they came up with for that reason. However, I saw another person that had a different interpretation of what it was.
They were saying that if because you have to wait anyway, you take this six months and you add people into the effort to get some type of industry standards and get some type of oversight and deal with the governments and this and that and the big quote. And I'm like, oh, okay, I can see that. Do you think at any point since this got to a point where it's at now the government hasn't already been able? No, I think they're absolutely, but here's the thing.
What government? Well, I'm speaking, I wish that's a good, that's a good, not which country, but government because the governments that are involved in this already are the things that we don't see. Yes. Yes.
So government that we see, they don't even know, they don't even understand it. They don't even know that Wi-Fi is, they don't understand it. You know, you know, who does understand it though? CIA, the letter coming in SSA.
They got their own scientists, they had their own people. And the moment I will guarantee you, the moment that it became public knowledge that China is using a form of it in their, their structural processes of their country, this country will hold up. Wait, wait a minute, because that's how this place is. It's not good for a lot of things, but self preservation, this place, the people up high, that's in these positions of power, extend to got a lot to lose like, let's call it space space.
My fuck is like, that's right now. We got a lot of lose. I'm saying, the motherfuckers that do that are hyper invested in this country, staying the way they're both flexing, staying the way it is, they have a lot to lose if another country gets ahead of their edition, a lot to lose. So I just go and say, picking on TikTok for accessing the whole, yo, do you want to fuck this guy?
Like you say that we see, they don't know, they don't know dick. Let's call this baby. Yo, yo, yo, yo, quick aside. This dumb ass, I'm not dumb ass.
He's not, which is why it hurt me so much to see this take. This motherfucker, if I want to take that, he had made a video about the hearing. And in the comments, there was a bunch of boomers, we're not faggot crying about ageism, right? Because the argument is what the argument has always been, since more enlightened times, these fuckers are old.
They should not be making all of the decisions. So in his two fold to their old and uninformed. Well, he's old, they're old, they're old. I'm not to say.
So in his comment section for one of his videos, it was a bunch of boomers crying about ageism. So in his next video, right, he talked about some goddamn, no, this is not because they're old. He shot a girl, he showed up in the other black lady, very articulate, very, very knowledgeable of what she was saying in this hearing. And see, she's older and she got, no, that's the exception that proves the rule.
Right. You can't use me. As an example of other 53, no, you're talking about somebody that happens to have a finger on the pulse of what is going on, versus the best majority out of touch, because it doesn't affect them. That's effective.
Go to their homes, see how their homes are set up. Let's skip the low-hanging fruit of calling them stupid. They don't even have nothing to do with that. They simply don't care.
They don't know enough to care. No, they don't care enough to know. They are so cushioned from a lot of the changes that have taken place. Their life is good, no matter what they're talking about.
So this is not relatable to them. It's not that they can't understand it. They're lobbying because they have stock and meta and good with all this other shit. And they're using whatever arguments they could possibly use, try to make it seem like TikTok is the worst thing to worry about.
So what the arguments I also heard about that was that the difference between TikTok and Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram is that Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube are not beholden to another government's laws. Sure. And that part is the only part that has a tiny bit of credence. Right.
But I would still say a tiny bit. But that's also not what they were arguing at the No, I didn't see a single person saying that. I heard that being made after the hearing was over by other people that's not elected officials, right? I heard them making the argument that the difference is that TikTok is beholden to Chinese law.
And the Chinese are at least considered by here in the Western world to be an authoritarian government, right? So since also when America decides that somebody is an enemy, some of that enemy shit is also kept because the economies globally are so entwined. Yeah, I'm going to say that you follow the money. The money doesn't necessarily say that.
Exactly. Because the reality of the situation is the Chinese need Western markets and the West needs with Chinese the Chinese have to offer as well. And then money, in person, they own a lot of debt. So this is more about competition.
Right. And when you hear these goofy, crusty, old elected officials, saber rattling about potential people go to war with China because no, no, no, they're not. No, they're not. No, they're not.
Because too much of our economy is twisted up with what they do and way too much of this is literally it literally would hurt each other. But I will say moves are being made by the Chinese and a few other countries to not have the US dollar as their standard, whatever. Moves are being made. So these situations are dynamic.
They're constantly in flux. And one major difference China has the next thing doesn't have is we switch out governments technically, every four or so years. And they have this guy as president for life for that, he's president for life. So that's a but as far as the stealing of the data, where was all y'all dragged Zuckerberg into y'all chambers to cuss him out about this and still made no appreciable change that time he did business to the money he was getting.
None. No, but you ready to make a big ass motherfucking shift and change with TikTok. Now me personally, I am not invested right in the TikTok platform. I do have a TikTok page.
I'm barely ever updated and majestic comments that have a TikTok page as well. But to me, it's not about whether or not I'm personally invested in it. It's about what makes sense and what doesn't. And what also y'all spend my taxpayer money on such as holding hearings like this and up there sounding dumb as a motherfucking.
It's about what it reveals about the state of leadership and the people that you put that question, everyone will ask these guys are numbness as little as I'll reveal them. I'm still disappointed. No, of course you just want to because they're they're still supposed to be representatives of country that you right now, at least are living in. So my thing is people who've asking, why are they how they keep getting elected?
Well, here's the thing. In many other areas where these people are, they're basically protected from any national scrutiny. It's all about the people in their area. And it's a lot easier to fool localized groups of people into some shit.
Let's think about it. We see them up there. We can't stand up there. Dumb as fuck.
But locally where they're from, they just got a bridge built that needed to be fixed for a long time. Or they get up to DC and whine about certain bills because they say, cause the tax bans too much money. But when they lose that vote and the bill goes to anyway, they'll go back home and say, I got your money for this. Even though they when against that bill that was going to give the states money, they'll go back and still use that as a plus for them in their campaign.
I did this with y'all. I did that for y'all. When the reality of voting against you having that, but then after they lost, because sometimes they affected that too. So I can be I can appear to be true to my conservative or whichever one values.
I can still pretend to be that by voting against it. But I already know there's not enough votes available for that to not pass. But I'll put my vote in against it so that I can say in my campaign ads, I voted against them trying to do such and such. But at the same time, I can brag about how they have those past this money is coming to my state.
I got this for you. Look, that's how they keep getting reelected. So every time I've said it once in a thousand times, those people that are in charge are not from Mars. They don't come from the planet Krypton.
And they certainly certainly don't come from Asgard. They come from here. They come from out of the same population. They watch the same TV shows.
They went to the same school system y'all go through. They come from here and indictment on them is an indictment on us. Just saying, just saying that's old saying that says you get the leadership. And there's some twisted so twisted way.
That's true about a great many of this. These people, I guarantee you some of the same people that elected in the fucking office are mad at shit. And then he talked about getting rid of TikTok. What?
What did you get rid of TikTok for? You put them there to do that. And what you can do, what you can do, what you can do. You can't really know for certain what a politician is going to do after they're elected and get in there.
You're basically going on their word doing campaign. I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna do that. I believe this.
I believe that after they get in there though, and they don't be what you elected them to do, you do have a recourse. Get them a fuck out. I mean, that's not what that's not what we happen because these motherfuckers will utilize all kinds of social divisions, all kinds of cultural wars to stay in power because I've seen people support motherfuckers who I know personally, they don't have the same politics or the same desires or priorities. But because these motherfuckers hate the same people they hate, they're gonna make them pay.
So I gotta go for them because they're gonna make these people pay. That was sad. What? This is a campaign promise.
