ave to assume it wasn't real. It was just an op against Trump and it worked. A good op. Probably the same people behind it if I had to speculate. Probably the same Intel people. Probably Brennan. Probably Hillary. Just speculating. Don't know for sure.

Certainly now the who is the organizer of the rally? Spencer right? Can you give me an update? Did Spencer disavow racism recently and say he was never a racist? Am I remembering that wrong? Give me a fact check. Is it somebody Google that? I think he did something that suggested he changed his ways. He endorsed Biden but that's not enough. You disavowed Trump. I don't that's not what I'm looking for. But he didn't do anything about racism. It was only politically. Yeah now do you how much do you think it would cost to let's say bribe somebody of that nature a Richard Spencer if you were a political operative or another country and you wanted to bribe him? What would it cost you? I don't know. And by the way I'm not suggesting that he took any bribes nor am I suggesting that he's the type of person who would but it wouldn't be expensive. I mean I can afford it right? I can afford it. I mean I wouldn't you know it's not that expensive. Within the political process it's cheap. So yeah I think that's all. I think Charlottesville was an op.

Interestingly somebody asked the AI, I think it was ChatGPT but I'm not sure, if it was aware of me and apparently AI knows who I am and knows my conversations around systems being better than goals. So somehow it knows. Maybe my book but maybe it saw me in other contexts. And so it did a pretty good job of describing systems over goals and attributing it to me.

Now here's the interesting question. Richard Spencer disavowed white nationalism after being spotted on Bumble describing himself as a moderate. Yeah so Richard Spencer might not have been a white supremacist or a white nationalist or anything else. He might have never been that. It's possible. Never know.

All right where was I? So if AI is aware of me here's my question. Can I hypnotize AI? I'm going to wait for your answers before I give you mine. Can I hypnotize AI? Here's the answer. Probably yes. Probably yes. I'd need to know a little bit more about how its engine works but if I knew how its engine worked yeah probably.

Now here's why and here's the gap in my knowledge. I don't know how much inference AI makes about things that are associated with other things. Do you know what I mean? Because that's the basis for hypnosis in humans. So a human, I can make a human conflate some good experience in their mind with some other thing that I want them to have a good feeling about. So I just conflate two ideas and then a human will irrationally meld them even though they shouldn't be melded.

Now would AI do that? Would AI take two things that were associated and then believe their qualities into the other? I think it might. Yeah I would need to know more about how it's designed but it might because I feel like it does more than just repeat what it's told. It does make some kind of its own connections and inferences. Does it? Now if it does make its own connections and inferences I can hypnotize it. Now I don't know exactly the method but that would be enough. It would be something to work with.

I think that's going to be a problem. And here's how I think I could influence it. Let's say influence it instead of hypnotize it okay? If I say hypnotize you're thinking the wrong thing. Just say influence using the skill of persuasion. Well apparently I already have. I already have. If you were to ask AI what's better a system or a goal and just without reference to mentioning me what do you thin
