u see. That would be Google. Now the Harris campaign managed to add a level of fake on top of the two existing levels of fake. So it was fake news, Google decides what you see and what you don't which is another form of brainwashing essentially, and then the Harris campaign modified the real news into fake news. So it was actually three layers of fakeness which Benz called a fake news tiramisu bec…
← Previous segment →t would be useful. It would change the votes. I think people would say oh that's me at that lunch. I have exactly those questions and I wish that was me but oh the person who is there asked my question. So you would totally pull yourself into the lunch. You would be one of the people at the table and that to me would be a whole new model of news. So debates are stupid and press interviews are stupid the way things are organized.
I will call your attention again to the X account KamalaHQLies all one word which basically goes after every lie that Kamala Harris's campaign tells and then debunks them. But I haven't seen there yet the full ranked list of her worst lies. That would be really useful. I love the top 20. Maybe there are 100 but at least a top 20 because we need to be able to forward that around whenever that claim that Trump's the liar comes up again. I think Harris stopped saying that as much. They may be modifying their approach because they've been caught lying so many times but yeah let's see a list of Harris lies.
All right what else is going on here? The New York attorney general Letitia James she's warning companies about misinformation in the coming elections and especially problem with the AI. So she sent a letter to Google, OpenAI, X and Meta to warn them about the rise of AI disinformation. Now I think we're in a weird period of history in which people can still be fooled by AI images. Now I think that's not going to last forever right because once every single person knows that every single photograph or video even video could be fake won't we learn to ignore it or will we learn that the real ones have some kind of a watermark or something on them somehow? Is there a way that we'll be able to tell the source? Oh maybe that's all you need. You just need to know the source because if you trust the source then you'll think it's not AI. If you don't know the source probably AI. Maybe that's all they need to do. You know what rather than identifying AI wouldn't it make more sense for the social media companies to simply identify the source and if there's no known source make sure people know that there's no identified source for this which would tell me that there's not some video of this in the wild that rather it must be AI unless it's the only person who has this video. So I think if you simply forced people to say the source of wherever the art came from you'd be in good shape. Now could that be done automatically or would you need people to do that? It might be automatic because on Google for example you could search for an image right? If you had an image you could search to find out if it matches an existing image. So wouldn't Google know that if an AI image is being run on a social platform would know that that doesn't exist from any reliable source and therefore almost certainly fake? Anyway we'll see where that goes.
I saw that Glenn Kirschner, who the hell is he, but he's somebody important and he's saying with these big wide eyes that make him look crazy and well just crazy. He looks crazy. I don't know if he is but he said if Trump loses the election he quote will spend the rest of his miserable life in court being prosecuted and ultimately serving prison terms one after the other. Do you think that's true? Do you think that if Trump doesn't win that the lawfare will just continue until he's in jail or lawfared into su

bmission? It might but here's the thing I worry about. What would stop that? Because none of it looks real to me in terms of a regular person would not be prosecuted for this sort of stuff. I feel like the Republicans need some kind of mutually assured destruction and the mutually assured destruction should be in the same domain meaning lawfare. And I think what they need to do is say all right if…
