him in jail but let me just say this clearly. I got 80 million reasons he's not going to jail. I got 80 million reasons he's not going to jail. I think it'll be scary and risky and it's always possible but no no no there. You think Democrats don't know where the line is and I think sometimes they don't know where the line is. It's because conservatives are not easily flustered so they bend and be…
← Previous segment →you put Trump in jail I would feel that in every part of my body and I would clear my schedule and I would do nothing but trying to fix that because that would be too far. Way too far. And part of me actually wishes it happened. I don't wish him to be in jail but there are some fights you want. You know what I mean? Do you ever have that feeling? There are fights you want to avoid and that would be most of them. You should avoid most fights but there are fights you want. There are fights you want. January 6th is a fight I want.
Yeah I would also suggest that we consider January 6 a holiday. Anybody up for that? Does anybody want to celebrate January 6 as a turning point? Because although we have not realized that turning point the election of Trump should it happen would be the completion of that. January 6 was an op against the American people. It was a psyop meaning the way it was framed not the event itself. It was clearly a psyop. It was whether or not the undercover people were important to the outcome or not. I think they were but even separate from that the way it was framed by the media and the Democrats was so illegitimate and so corrupt that it felt like a turning point to me. That felt and especially when the J6ers start going to jail as they have that's way too far. That is literally violence. Jailing people for those things you know the ones who are not violent themselves the nonviolent people are being jailed that is violence against them. Would you agree? You put somebody in jail that's violence. That is violence. I'm in favor of it if they did real crimes but it's violence.
So January 6 is the point where your government became violent because of your opinions. That's new. That's new. So I think we should celebrate it as the turning point where the left went too far. You could call it a too far day. That was the day they went too far. Because I think that the way the January 6ers were treated is probably one of the biggest animating forces behind people saying you know what Trump might have some rough edges but all of that. Am I right? Because I think a lot of Republicans were willing to accept that Trump was a flawed candidate in all the ways we always talk about and their first choice was to get a nice clean candidate they could support. That was first choice until the January 6ers started going to jail. As soon as the January 6ers started going to jail the nonviolent ones that was too far and that made at least in my mind Trump's reelection a necessity.
Now to be clear I'm still backing Vivek Ramaswamy and I think he'd be a better president because he's younger and I think age matters. But if he doesn't make the final cut it's got to be Trump. It just has to be because January 6 can't go without a response. It just can't go without a response. Now if Vivek said he's going to do pardons on day one for the January 6ers who were nonviolent now I'll accept that. So I'll take Vivek as a solution and I'll take Trump as a solution. But I don't know if the others have said. Has DeSantis said out loud that he would pardon the nonviolent January 6ers? You did? I say yes and a no but DeSantis is not hammering on the point though right? I'm saying no I don't think he said no did he? All right so we have a little bit of a question on what DeSantis's view on that is. Now that's disappointing. Imagine DeSantis is running as a Republican. He is. And we don't know if he would pardon the J6ers on day one. How do we not know that? Because I think he would but he hasn't said it. I feel like he would have said it directly. I don't know. Maybe he said he was open to looking at it or something like that which would be a fair political thing to say. Interesting. He said he would consider it. I think that's probably the reason that we're not sure because he said he would consider it which is a good non-answer. Okay all right.
I'm seeing a comment is frustrating me. Let me say it just once so everybody here sees it. If you think Vivek took money from Soros and is a Soros puppet do a little bit of homework okay? Don't bring that here. We're well beyond believing that he has some kind of Soros connection you should worry about right or that big pharma controls him. Those are just coming from the opposition. There's nothing to that. There's nothing to it. Nothing. Now there was some minor connection that he's explained away. If you haven't heard the explanation don't bring that here. Go do a little bit more work. Just Google it. Listen to Vivek explaining his response to those accusations right. But if you haven't heard that don't bring that here. That's crazy. Yeah all right.
The IDF has admitted that the three hostages who were released I guess they had white flags. They were waving the white flags and they were killed and the IDF has taken full responsibility. Now I have two things to say about that. It's a tragedy of almost unspeakable dimension. The fact that they were that close to being freed so you know your brain is just crushed by the story and so let's not lose sight of that. But despite the tragedy which we're not minimizing I have to say the fact that the IDF said they did it and didn't make an excuse for it I got to respect that. I got to respect that. And it does make me more likely to believe whatever is the next thing they tell me which is tough because in that war context I'm not really expecting to believe anybody but wow sort of a model of how to behave I would say. If you've done something this bad and within a fairly short period of time you say yes this was us no excuses that's pretty good. I'd like to see more of that but less tragedies.
Well AI appears to have broken some kind of barrier we didn't think it would break. So Google's DeepMind which correct me on this is not a large language model right? DeepMind was an earlier version of AI before the large language models. Do I have that right? I got a yes over here. I think that's right. But using DeepMind in conjunction with some other AI they solved some math problems that had not been solved before. And apparently let's see if I can do a good job of explaining this. If you have a few different types of AI so DeepMind is one technology large language models another that the big one can interact with the other ones and that it's almost like a brainstorming system of humans except it's two AIs checking each other's work. So one of them will throw out ideas and the other one will check them and then recheck things and stuff. So in effect this is not how the story was reported this is my own twist on it. AI just learned how to be creative.
So as a creative human being who does it for a living you know I have to create lots of stuff every day. In my mind the way I visualize the process is multiple people in my head. One of them is pitching and then the others are evaluating. Pitch evaluate pitch evaluate. But the pitcher is never evaluating. The pitcher is just pitching. And then there's maybe another part of my brain that works out if it's practical right? So there's one that's just how about this how about this not thinking too much. There's another one saying yes or no and then it's working with the one that looks at things practically. So there are at least three brains in my head working simultaneously right? And I've told you that when I did my micro lesson on one of those brains is the executive. It's the one in charge. But if you imagine the AI could use that same model so that instead of having an AI that would be like just one part of your brain but if you're trying to reproduce human capabilities especially creativity it does make sense to me that you would have a pitcher and a catcher. You've got one coming with ideas and one checking the ideas and they may even be different technologies. And if that doesn't work perhaps one of them can call upon yet another one. Say oh two people in the room is not much of a brainstorm so let's bring in a third AI.
Is it possible that even though the story is about solving a math problem what they really solved was creativity for AI? Now I've told you that this is one of my famous quotes that's on the internet all the time that creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes and art is knowing which ones to keep. Have you ever heard me say that? So creativity is if I'm going to draw let's say a picture of an animal or a person if I give it two eyes and two ears that's not a mistake right? It's also not art. If I gave him one eye maybe it's art but it's a mistake. So if it's a mistake that I look at and I go I kind of like that that is art if you like it as well. So for example Dilbert has no eyeballs and no mouth. That's a mistake but can you imagine Dilbert with eyeballs and a mouth? It would be different. The fact that he has no eyeballs and no mouth turned out to be perfect because he was the voiceless employee. The one who had he was blind and deaf and sort of a slave to the corporation. You put him like a mole. You put him in. So having no eyeballs and no mouth turned out to work and it turned out to be art. Commercial art but it's a mistake. So you need to be able to create AI that can make mistakes and apparently the large language models are very mistakey. They do a lot. I asked what books I published and all the answers were wrong. So all those wrong answers were mistakes. You know what books did I publish? All wrong answers but there were interesting answers. They might have even suggested a new book title that I hadn't written yet. It might have actually come up with the book I should write that I have not yet written by mistake. But if that mistake turned into a real book because the brainstorming worked on me well then it turns into art.
So AI has to learn how to make mistakes productively otherwise they can't be creative. You need to make lots of creative mistakes and then you analyze the creative mistakes like you're panning for gold. It's like ah there's a mistake now useless. There's a mistake useless. There's a mistake useless. There's a mistake whoa why did that mistake make me feel something? It's a mistake it's a mistake but I felt something. Now you get art. So this is a way bigger potential deal than most of you think and you're wondering why I'm spending so much time on it but if AI can solve art it can kind of do anything. That's a pretty big bar and I wasn't sure it could cross it but this idea of the multiple brains working as one brain the way a human brain does that might be the breakthrough. That might be the logical breakthrough is it's got to be multiple entities struggling.
All right and that ladies and gentlemen is all I have to say on today's best live stream you'll ever see. Is there any story I forgot that is so important? I saw a story on social media about some votes in Fulton County Georgia that were being questioned or tossed out but then I checked the news today and I didn't see it. Was that story real? Do you know if that was real? Yeah so the claim was 177,000 invalid ballots from the 2020 election. Andrew Klavan cited my hoaxes. Oh good. So some people say it's real but it's not news. How could it be real and the news isn't covering it? It's on social media but not in the news. Not in the left or the right. It's not on Fox News is it? So I'm going to put a question mark on that one. Big question mark on that one. I don't know if that's real. Is it an old claim? Somebody says this is an old claim. Might be an old claim so that's why I didn't talk about it.
All right the poll workers lied to the FBI about you and meaning the speaker Mike and threatened said I threatened them. Wow. Oh yeah. So there's a new movie called The American Society of Magical Negroes which suggests that the danger in the world is white people or something like that. And as others have pointed out wait a minute if you change the ethnicities of the people in this movie it would go from a funny send-up to something terrible. I'm going to hold my opinion on this one because it is intentionally a comedy and comedies can be challenging. So here's what I think. If it turns out it's hilarious and you watch the movie and you go okay that's just funny then I'm not going to care what they said. If it's funny. If it's not funny and it comes off as racist that's a big problem. But I looked at the trailer and I thought it might be actually funny. I think I'll probably watch it. So I'm prepared to be deeply offended if it turns out that way but I think I'm more primed to think it might be just edgy and funny and worthy.
Right it's still programming yeah but humor humor is its own category. Humor can influence you but sometimes it's okay because joke's a joke. So I tend to be very forgiving about humor. So for example in the trailer to the movie it shows a scene where there's a young black guy walking through some party atmosphere filled with white people and he's feeling all awkward and you know then that's kind of the point of it is that he's awkward around the white people. And I thought to myself I could totally watch this movie because I would love to see a perspective I don't think about or wouldn't you know like I never would have thought about that in exactly the way they presented it. So I thought oh that would be interesting to sort of see the black version of what we're seeing if you're not black. To see the black interpretation of the same things you're watching but you weren't interpreting them that way. To me that would be an interesting movie and if it's funny I'm there.
All right so I'm going to be open-minded on that because I think I'm going to agree with Elon Musk on this. When I got cancelled Elon Musk to his credit said we shouldn't be canceling humor. Now that he wasn't supporting anything I said he was just saying you know let's stop canceling humor. So I appreciated that so much that I'd like to keep that standard. So he's influencing me. I want to keep that standard. I don't want to punish this movie because it's a lot of black creators who are having some fun with some racial standards or assumptions. I say let them have their fun. Let's see how they did and if it's funny it's funny. I'll recommend it if it's funny.
So that's all I got for you YouTube and I will talk to you tomorrow. Thanks for joining the best live stream you've ever seen today. Bye for now.
