Speaker 1: You know, every once in a while, you being responsible
Speaker 1: and staying ahead of the game kind of works against you.
Speaker 1: This is one of those moments in my attempt to
Speaker 1: stay ahead of the workload for this show. Something like
Speaker 1: a former president gets indicted, might be facing an arrayment.
Speaker 1: We're gonna see, look, look, we're gonna see all your
Speaker 1: pride jumps out the window when you when you're rubbing
Speaker 1: your little fingerprint on that thing. We're gonna see, really
Speaker 1: how gangster this man really is, you know, if he
Speaker 1: ever has to like face un actual judge, like a
Speaker 1: like an actual arrangement, I don't know, man, who knows
Speaker 1: if it's actually gonna go to trial at this point.
Speaker 1: So I'm speaking as right now future me and regards
Speaker 1: to the episode you're about to hear. So that being said,
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to this his whole indictment, Like we
Speaker 1: don't even know what the indictment is as at this
Speaker 1: point today is Monday of the week that you're about
Speaker 1: to hear this April third, right now, Oh, we don't
Speaker 1: even know like what's in the indictment. So like, ain't
Speaker 1: no point in trying to court no show right now?
Speaker 1: And you know what I'm saying, like, we figure out
Speaker 1: what's going on anyway, I swear to y'all I'm gonna
Speaker 1: get to it. Oh man. Also, this episode had quite
Speaker 1: an experience because when I had exported the files anybody
Speaker 1: who works with files to Matt to mix and master it,
Speaker 1: apparently I had muted the channel so there was nothing.
Speaker 1: It was forty minutes of silence. And then I had
Speaker 1: stored this session on some sort of cloud, and then
Speaker 1: it wasn't downloading this. Look, y'all, this has been a day,
Speaker 1: but we found it, pieced it all together. If you
Speaker 1: should see the screenshots I was sending Matt as I
Speaker 1: was like pressed trying to figure this thing out, but
Speaker 1: we got it. Anyway, enjoyed this actual show. Now, Look,
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna hold you. Usually when you hear that phrase,
Speaker 1: that means somebody about to tell you something that's truthful,
Speaker 1: that's like actual factor. They fin't admit something that is
Speaker 1: like in by no ways cap in any way. I
Speaker 1: honestly don't know where the phrase came from either. Just
Speaker 1: I ain't gonnled you know what I mean, Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know where that came from. That's just it's just
Speaker 1: what we say, maybe I need to do a little
Speaker 1: homework on where that phrase came from. I ain't gold you, though,
Speaker 1: I don't know where I ain't gold you came from.
Speaker 1: But look, I ain't gonnolog you. I don't know how
Speaker 1: this mug gonna turn out, see it. I can't call
Speaker 1: it politics. Y'all aint gone, I ain't gone an, I
Speaker 1: ain't gone, I ain't gone. I welcome everybody. We got
Speaker 1: to talk about the Internet. I'm thinking about making this
Speaker 1: like a four part series because you know, there's some
Speaker 1: things that are just like the world as we know
Speaker 1: it have has been. We've officially been terraformed in a
Speaker 1: new matter like this. There's we're in a watershed season
Speaker 1: right now. And the truth is no going back, whether
Speaker 1: it's the fact that uh elon Musk and Tesla is
Speaker 1: being sued right now because of self driving cars fails,
Speaker 1: you know, people actually dying, but there's no going back.
Speaker 1: We're going to have self driving cars. That it is
Speaker 1: what it is. We got to talk about chat bots
Speaker 1: and open AI and the nigga's fallen and live because listen,
Speaker 1: my wife said, you know you refer to her by
Speaker 1: her prefix doctor. She'd be teaching classes PhD level classes
Speaker 1: on the side, you know what I'm talking about. And
Speaker 1: with that said, she's not so worried about you know,
Speaker 1: open AI and chats talking about as a professor, you know,
Speaker 1: her content is not worried about the what, but the how.
Speaker 1: So for her, she's like, y'all, I'm excited about how
Speaker 1: like these uh, this open ai chat stuff can help
Speaker 1: people formulate their ideas. But her classes is more about, Okay,
Speaker 1: so you've wrote a dope paper, Now how do you
Speaker 1: do that? In the workforce? You know, she works. She
Speaker 1: basically teaches c suite level people on diversity, equity and
Speaker 1: inclusion and all the stuff that Lord of hayes. So
Speaker 1: you might be able to like throw in your you know,
Speaker 1: you might be able to try to write your dissertation
Speaker 1: on chat bots and they might be right, but you're
Speaker 1: gonna have to ask that chatbot to cite every source
Speaker 1: it's gotten and then to put that in a footnote
Speaker 1: footnotes shout out to TDC fan, and then you need
Speaker 1: to cite the footnotes and I need to know, you know,
Speaker 1: all the dissenting voices. Like, it's gonna be a lot
Speaker 1: of work. You gon have to go sentence by sentence
Speaker 1: and be like where did you get that? Where did
Speaker 1: you get that? Where did you get that? For that
Speaker 1: to actually work? You know what I'm saying. And at
Speaker 1: that point you might as well just go find it yourself,
Speaker 1: you feel me, because again her class is worried about
Speaker 1: how I'm rambling. It's in the weeds here. But the
Speaker 1: point I'm trying to make is like open AI chats,
Speaker 1: it's here, the world is different, there's no going back
Speaker 1: where it's here. But today we need to talk about
Speaker 1: YouTube being sued. It's like literally in the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: right now. Now, as y'all know, like I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get into the details of like all of the actual
Speaker 1: tech stuff, like I'm extremely online, but it's a lot
Speaker 1: of shit I don't understand about this. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, technical point, but that's not my concern here.
Speaker 1: I'm talking the big socio cultural like world changing, terrorforming
Speaker 1: the world as we know it, questions like the actual
Speaker 1: factual Supreme Court. And look, I ain't gonna hold you.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is gonna turn out. And listen,
Speaker 1: that's where I got the shit. I can't call it.
Speaker 1: I gave you another one that usually mean like listen,
Speaker 1: I can't call it, like I don't know what's gonna
Speaker 1: go down. I don't know what it is. Sometimes people
Speaker 1: use it as a green saw. How you're feeling, man,
Speaker 1: how you living? Shit? I can't call it, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, like I don't know, like I'm chilling right,
Speaker 1: but in this situation, like fam, we're not chilling this.
Speaker 1: It might break the internet, and like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how that's going to turn out because either listen, you
Speaker 1: know who else says shit, I can't call it. Scotus,
Speaker 1: NIGGA is Supreme Court. They say the same thing I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Thing I don't know either answer is means the Internet
Speaker 1: as we know it is gone, like the world fitted
Speaker 1: change and look, look, look there are certain things that
Speaker 1: just changed everything in music in WA like I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna nwa change the music. It'll never be like this again.
Speaker 1: It'll never be pre Gangster rapp. And did we have
Speaker 1: the sense enough to know that that's what was gonna
Speaker 1: happen now, I don't know if we did, but it
Speaker 1: was never going away. Once that happened, it was like
Speaker 1: you just gonna have to adjust streaming, you know, streaming music.
Speaker 1: We do. You know, you had you know, the napster
Speaker 1: dot com and back back back then when you could
Speaker 1: like you know, bootleg it download stuff. We was like,
Speaker 1: well now we was Metallica and them was like, you're
Speaker 1: stealing our music. They thought they could actually like put
Speaker 1: that you know, gen back at the bottom. Now it's done.
Speaker 1: At that point, music gonna be free. It just changed,
Speaker 1: it changed everything. We are at a place right now,
Speaker 1: I believe where and we ain't gonna know about this
Speaker 1: case until May. They don't already gave the open arguments
Speaker 1: right now. This is I believe I'm three weeks ahead
Speaker 1: of y'all of what you're hearing as far as like
Speaker 1: my recording schedule, which is help. That means I can
Speaker 1: afford to take the day off one of these weeks
Speaker 1: because I'm so tired of talking about bad stuff. But
Speaker 1: at this point, we ain't gonna know till May. Like
Speaker 1: they're gonna keep deliberating, but them opening statements and arguments
Speaker 1: have been brought forward, and today I just want to
Speaker 1: talk about what their arguments were and fam how the
Speaker 1: actual Supreme Court was like damn, I can't call it.
Speaker 1: Both of these people got a point and look, I
Speaker 1: can't call it. I don't know where we're going. I
Speaker 1: don't know what's in a half at. I just know
Speaker 1: the internet as we know it. It's pretty much it looked,
Speaker 1: it's gone. Let's talk about it, y'all. Okay. I think
Speaker 1: the first thing we need to understand, I need to
Speaker 1: establish this is my point A in going through this thing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying and trying to help us understand,
Speaker 1: like why we should care about whatever this stuff is?
Speaker 1: Point number A is this You like that? Point number A?
Speaker 1: You feel me? Man, I'm brilliant. Point A is I think, truthfully,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, that's another look at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, as it did. Let with
Speaker 1: black people say that they mean they're done talking. I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear nothing else you got to say,
Speaker 1: because this is how it look they listen at the
Speaker 1: end of the day. Um, we still don't know how
Speaker 1: to use the internet. I know it's been like thirty
Speaker 1: thirty years, well like will noughties. We still don't know
Speaker 1: how to use the internet. Like nothing. We really don't
Speaker 1: know how this thing works. And then once I went
Speaker 1: to high school and I feel like anybody you all
Speaker 1: know somebody like this and all a ton of people
Speaker 1: like this who got really big, Like I was a
Speaker 1: ball I played basketball, right, And sometimes you have people
Speaker 1: that hit they grow spurt where they be their body
Speaker 1: grow bigger than their mind and coordination is ready to handle.
Speaker 1: Or like you know that, you know the little boy
Speaker 1: that like just and probably like a little girl too.
Speaker 1: But I'm right now, I'm use both exampts. A little
Speaker 1: boy that just like sprout facial hair like we in
Speaker 1: sixth grade. He got a whole ass mustache, you know
Speaker 1: it all beer. He just like how you got facial
Speaker 1: hair but still look like a baby. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. You got facial you look like baby.
Speaker 1: It's like you got this grown man stuff, but you're
Speaker 1: a child. You got like you don't know how to
Speaker 1: use all this stuff. You you got older before you
Speaker 1: got older, you know. Pol little baby girl all of
Speaker 1: a sudden got to start wearing bras you feel me,
Speaker 1: po po poe girl. You know you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: We she's still trying to swing on the monkey bars.
Speaker 1: Little girl got a brawl, you understand I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: she just her body starts sprouting before she ready to
Speaker 1: even have herself be sexualized. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like that that's us in the Internet. The Internet grew
Speaker 1: technology growing faster than we able to handle it. We
Speaker 1: all middle schoolers. Let's just think of it like that.
Speaker 1: We are all middle schoolers with like a whole period
Speaker 1: and like and shaving, like shaving our full beards in
Speaker 1: sixth grade, Like like the Internet went faster than we ready.
Speaker 1: That Like I feel like and if you step back
Speaker 1: for a second and really think about the stuff we
Speaker 1: talk about right now with the Internet and the things
Speaker 1: we never actually figured out, the stuff we're still trying
Speaker 1: to understand, is because we got too good, too fast.
Speaker 1: So that's my point A And how that point is
Speaker 1: playing out is right now, one of those ways is
Speaker 1: like what does free speech mean on the Internet? I
Speaker 1: think you know that's how That's one of the ways
Speaker 1: it's playing out, Like, well, I don't know how to
Speaker 1: laws it and who gets to like enforce it because
Speaker 1: the internet's the world, Like where is the where is it?
Speaker 1: Who gets the laws over it? And if the law
Speaker 1: it's set in, I mean, and and who got to
Speaker 1: obey the law? Us the internet provider? Is it spectrum
Speaker 1: and AT and T. Is it the platform itself? Who
Speaker 1: is it the channel? Is it the content producer? Is
Speaker 1: it the platform that allows the content to come out?
Speaker 1: We don't know how to use the internet, y'all. We
Speaker 1: ain't figuring it out. And guess what, the people that
Speaker 1: got to set the laws, nigga ain't ninety years old. Oh,
Speaker 1: they wasn't forged in the fires of the internet. Y'all.
Speaker 1: Wasn't outside you wasn't you wasn't learning htmail. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Pivot out your my space, you know,
Speaker 1: if you feel figure it out, proxy servers, getting over
Speaker 1: getting over your schools, blockage of YouTube. Yeah, I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I mean, at least at least I was on my space,
Speaker 1: you feel me. But in their defense, I don't know
Speaker 1: the answer either. You got the people, the people deciding
Speaker 1: to law, they listen. They the ones calling their grandkids
Speaker 1: on how to open the how to open their emails. Nigga,
Speaker 1: they still send a chain letters about saying this to
Speaker 1: four people or you're gonna lose a million times. These
Speaker 1: people don't understand the end of that. But in their defense,
Speaker 1: my point is, neither do we. The MAYI chat box
Speaker 1: is proving it. We like, we still don't tell you something.
Speaker 1: We still don't understand Internet. That's that's a. And then
Speaker 1: now add on social media, we don't know, we don't
Speaker 1: know really how to use this toy. So that's that's
Speaker 1: that's the calibrating point. A. Now what all that said,
Speaker 1: Let's talk about this Supreme Court case. So right now,
Speaker 1: the families of the sort of American not sort of
Speaker 1: the actual American people that, um, you know, that died
Speaker 1: in a terrorist attack in France are suing YouTube for
Speaker 1: aiding and abetting terrorists. Now, how they got to that
Speaker 1: was saying, okay, like how a lot of people get radicalized.
Speaker 1: They got radicalized on the Internet, and the algorithm kept
Speaker 1: suggesting videos that we're getting increasingly more crazy and violent,
Speaker 1: to the point of where this person got completely radicalized.
Speaker 1: And that's I mean, that's like what what happened was
Speaker 1: like this the dude, you know, the people that were
Speaker 1: responsible for this terrorist attack in France, which is a
Speaker 1: whole other story, got radicalized via YouTube. You know, of
Speaker 1: course there was all obviously there's way more to it
Speaker 1: than that. But yeah, you know, and I think all
Speaker 1: of us has done this. You've gone down a rabbit hole. Oh,
Speaker 1: hopefully you've gone down a rabbit hole over something funny,
Speaker 1: like you know, who built the pyramids? All of a
Speaker 1: sudden you looking at aliens and lizard people and you're like, dude,
Speaker 1: how did I even get here? Right? You know, I'm
Speaker 1: saying like, there's that, Uh you go down a rabbit
Speaker 1: hole for plenty different things, you know, But it's because
Speaker 1: you Tube. It's like, yo, you like this, you might
Speaker 1: wells like that. So it's suggesting videos. So that's the case.
Speaker 1: Now why has this never been on the on the
Speaker 1: thing before? Because it's like nigga, who in charge? Okay,
Speaker 1: so listen, let's get get Let's get a hood example,
Speaker 1: right if somebody you look let me let me step
Speaker 1: back with this. You remember Kat Williams. Oh, one of
Speaker 1: my favorite people ever. Right, Cat Williams when one of
Speaker 1: his one of his it's one of the greatest little clips.
Speaker 1: I feel like it's just a one little line he's say,
Speaker 1: shouldn't have been talking shit? Like it's that simple. There's
Speaker 1: some situations to where it's like if you get popped
Speaker 1: in your mouth, if you get slapped upside your head,
Speaker 1: somebody fire on you and like okay, is like, I
Speaker 1: can't be held responsible for popping this nigga in the face.
Speaker 1: He shouldn't have been talking shit. What the hell was
Speaker 1: you doing over here? Essentially asking me to slap the
Speaker 1: taste out your mouth. There's some situation this is where
Speaker 1: it's just like I look and you can't this ain't look,
Speaker 1: did you? Two plus two is four? A fan? This
Speaker 1: man walked all the way over here. You know, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: put his hands all in the plate, or was talking
Speaker 1: reckless to my girl or whatever it is, and I
Speaker 1: slapped the shit out of him. I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: here in my face, like Austar Reids last night. Come on,
Speaker 1: come on, let's go Austar reads now listen again. I'm
Speaker 1: three weeks ahead of y'all. But during the MAVs game,
Speaker 1: we saw Austin Reis. I'm obviously I'm a legger fan
Speaker 1: saw him, you know, flare up and was like in
Speaker 1: little hummy face, love hummy. These foods are professional athletes,
Speaker 1: They're giants. The point is he was like, fuck you
Speaker 1: gonna do if somebody say that to you and you
Speaker 1: slap the taste out of their mouth. I mean, I
Speaker 1: don't know how liable I am? Right? Whose fault is this? Now,
Speaker 1: let me take this analogy to step further. Is it
Speaker 1: the arena's faults? No? No, no, Look is the basketball
Speaker 1: court responsible? Is the game of basketball responsible? Or is
Speaker 1: it just that got now? Some people see it see
Speaker 1: it as this simple. It's like if you go back
Speaker 1: to a court case in nineteen ninety six and it like,
Speaker 1: follow me. We still the internet still functions on laws.
Speaker 1: Back to when we was making geo cities and you
Speaker 1: was on AOL like instant Messenger, but when you had
Speaker 1: to tell somebody to get off the phone so you
Speaker 1: could get on the internet, right, we would still use
Speaker 1: a dialupe And and if you don't know what sounds
Speaker 1: I'm making, then clearly and that's the point I'm making,
Speaker 1: were based on laws when the internet used to sound
Speaker 1: like that before you could actually h check your emails.
Speaker 1: That's how long ago them laws are. Now we crack jokes,
Speaker 1: but we're still following the laws from seventeen seventy six.
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe jokes on us um, But that's also
Speaker 1: a whole other argument. But as the contratart torts a
Speaker 1: sovereign document, yeah, okay, things we couldn't imagine we were
Speaker 1: we set laws based on an internet we understood. We
Speaker 1: don't get this, y'are different? This different? Oh man, it's different,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So back then the law
Speaker 1: was you can't sue the internet provider for what the
Speaker 1: internet user does. You follow me in the same way
Speaker 1: that like, okay, listen, you got electrical outlets in your house,
Speaker 1: right fam if you plug seventeen things into it, which
Speaker 1: a little extension course, because that's the only plug you
Speaker 1: could get. Or you know, you got a you got
Speaker 1: this busted up toaster with a court with you know,
Speaker 1: with the with the shards missing. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: You on your on your early twenty struggle bus, you
Speaker 1: feel me? And you just got horrible appliances and you
Speaker 1: plugged that thing in and it burned and your whole
Speaker 1: kitchen down. Can you sue the electric company? No, it's
Speaker 1: not the electric that's not the utility's fault. It's what
Speaker 1: you plugged into the utility. Does that? Are you following me?
Speaker 1: It's not the electricity's fault. Like you have you you
Speaker 1: took your little grubby hands and that dusty ass toaster
Speaker 1: and you put it into the outlet. Nigga didn't. That's
Speaker 1: I like that. How can that be that? How can
Speaker 1: that be the electricity's fault? The electricity just does what
Speaker 1: electricity does, right, The electricity doesn't produce any content. It
Speaker 1: just gives you the You it's whatever you plug into it.
Speaker 1: So social media. I remember I saw an interview with
Speaker 1: Jack you know, when he started Twitter. That was his
Speaker 1: argument for Twitter. He was like, it's where utility company.
Speaker 1: You plug in whatever you now get it again, I'm
Speaker 1: just giving your analogies. This ain't the way I feel.
Speaker 1: I'm just helping you understand, right, this is the way
Speaker 1: that we've seen it. It's like, it's a how how
Speaker 1: you blame Twitter for what a person who? What a
Speaker 1: person tweets? I'm just the platform. No more than a
Speaker 1: paper is responsible for what you write on it. Right,
Speaker 1: It's just paper. It's not the paper's fault, the author's fault, unless,
Speaker 1: of course, the paper is telling you which page to
Speaker 1: turn to. Now let's go back to the electricity company. Now,
Speaker 1: what if the what if you bought the toaster from
Speaker 1: your power company, and what if the power company said,
Speaker 1: if you like this toaster, you should use that microwave Okay,
Speaker 1: Now the utility company you participating in the product. That's different.
Speaker 1: So as is if you can use the same analogy
Speaker 1: with what's going on with like Amazon and stuff like that,
Speaker 1: where it's like or streaming music with Spotify, like like
Speaker 1: follow me here. Like I said, we don't know how
Speaker 1: to use the internet. Again, it's point eight. So if
Speaker 1: you are Spotify, you are essentially a platform and all
Speaker 1: music should supposed to go to that platform. Now, if
Speaker 1: Spotify has a record label, now you're a platform and
Speaker 1: a content producer, which means obviously, if you Spotify, you
Speaker 1: are going to give preferential treatment to the artists that
Speaker 1: you make. Y'all remember the whole Joe Rogan situation. That's
Speaker 1: what they were saying, Like Joe Rogan is paid by Spotify.
Speaker 1: So it's like, man, I mean, come on, like, what
Speaker 1: are we supposed to do here? Is that too complicated?
Speaker 1: What about a grocery store? Your grocery store, then your brand?
Speaker 1: Then you shouldn't produce also food too, because if that's
Speaker 1: the case, ain't you gonna give your own product special treatment?
Speaker 1: If you Walmart? Of course you make Kirkland brand, Like
Speaker 1: why would not I'm the store and the provider. Right,
Speaker 1: if you Amazon, why not have other companies that produce
Speaker 1: some of the products? You say, why should everybody else
Speaker 1: get rich? In here? I can make some content. Or
Speaker 1: how about this, if you want to put your stuff
Speaker 1: in my store, and since everybody here, why don't you
Speaker 1: pay me a little extra and I'll put you to
Speaker 1: the front of the stuff. But that wasn't a concept
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety eight. Nobody thought about that because it
Speaker 1: was nobody thought you could buy stuff on the internet
Speaker 1: in nineteen ninety six. You can think about that for
Speaker 1: a second. You didn't. There was no online stores in
Speaker 1: ninety six. There was no social media in ninety six.
Speaker 1: There's no such thing as an algorithm as far as
Speaker 1: we know it. Now, what didn't happen in so you
Speaker 1: don't sue the provider, and we've been based on that.
Speaker 1: You don't suit the provider because they're not a content creator, right, Like,
Speaker 1: they don't create the content. They're just the plate that
Speaker 1: you set the content on. So how could it possibly
Speaker 1: be my fault? Well, how do platforms make money? Now,
Speaker 1: let's now let's walk into how it gets complicated. How
Speaker 1: do platforms make money? Well, forever they made money by
Speaker 1: getting subscribe, right, I just need more people in here.
Speaker 1: So the way to get subscribers was to have dope content.
Speaker 1: So it was like, since I'm not a content provider, right,
Speaker 1: I need everybody to come in here and bring so
Speaker 1: I need to have the dopest content. And how do
Speaker 1: I do that? Where I need to get content creators?
Speaker 1: And then how do I do that? Why? I incentifize
Speaker 1: you to create dope content by saying, look, everybody's eyes
Speaker 1: are here. My store got the hottest. It's just like
Speaker 1: starting the club, my club the hottest. How do you
Speaker 1: get a club dope? Well, you start paying for beautiful
Speaker 1: women to come. That's listen. That's that's how you do it.
Speaker 1: You know, rappers can get artists can get what's called walkthroughs.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've heard of this. A club
Speaker 1: in Vegas. When you when they say they put your
Speaker 1: whole last name on the flyer, it'd be like, where's
Speaker 1: Khalifa at Club so and so? Is he performing? No,
Speaker 1: He's just going to be there in VIP away from
Speaker 1: the rest of you niggas, behind that little railroad and
Speaker 1: a whole lot of good I'm using I pull whis
Speaker 1: Keleifa's name out of nowhere. I'm not saying. This is
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. And the club paid him like fifty
Speaker 1: racks and then gave him y'all follow best an hustle,
Speaker 1: and then gave that man another fifty thousand bar tabs
Speaker 1: so you can keep ordering stuff you like. You mean
Speaker 1: to tell me they just spent one hundred thousand dollars.
Speaker 1: What that should tell you is how much they're gonna
Speaker 1: make tonight. That's That's what that should tell you, is
Speaker 1: that that's worth it. I'm gonna give you another little
Speaker 1: hack about this. Here's some free game. The money is
Speaker 1: at the bar because the margins are absurd in the
Speaker 1: sense that sometimes, you know, you get a promotional case
Speaker 1: of a vodka, you know what I'm saying, and then
Speaker 1: the well drinks them drinks in the well like fam
Speaker 1: them well whiskies them well drinks, like when I tell
Speaker 1: you they don't they don't cost anything to that bar,
Speaker 1: like it's just pennies. So as you're doing full five
Speaker 1: rounds of shots, you know what I'm saying, you didn't
Speaker 1: paid for almost all the lick of that night already.
Speaker 1: That's why they'd be like, yo, free drinks, you know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying until ten o'clock. Or that's why they'd
Speaker 1: be like, you know, girls enter free by eleven. Before eleven,
Speaker 1: it's like, I just need bodies in here because if
Speaker 1: the girls come, then the dudes come, and if the
Speaker 1: dudes come, they drink it. Yeah, the covers only forty Yeah,
Speaker 1: the cover is ten dollars cover, you know, or sometimes
Speaker 1: it's free in a two drink minimum. Because the point is,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make my money at the bar, because the
Speaker 1: bar doesn't cost them anything. The first the first shot
Speaker 1: you bought, if you get you're trying to go there
Speaker 1: and get that high end castle me goes you didn't
Speaker 1: paid six Listen, you didn't paid sixty dollars for a shot.
Speaker 1: You know the bottle costs sixty dollars retail. You understand
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. The point is, y'all are making
Speaker 1: the money you need. Subscribers, right, That's that's how the
Speaker 1: Internet worked for a long time. But then the Internet
Speaker 1: changed again and it went from subscribers to ads, ad
Speaker 1: revenue commercials, which is the world that we've lived in
Speaker 1: for a while. That's the Internet that as we know
Speaker 1: it where your platform is free, but that's because you
Speaker 1: the product. Right. Then they started selling your information to
Speaker 1: make sure that these ads get to where they're supposed
Speaker 1: to get, right, and they get more and more specific.
Speaker 1: So these platforms were hitting this lick off of again us, right,
Speaker 1: But you can't sue us because I mean, look, we're
Speaker 1: providing a service. You scroll down all the way to
Speaker 1: the bottom to the terms and conditions, right and listen,
Speaker 1: We're just the utility company. That's all we are. You
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying. So they used all of our data,
Speaker 1: you know, apps talking to each other, right, so that
Speaker 1: they could sell that and say, hey, listen if you
Speaker 1: advertise for us, because clearly we're not making money off
Speaker 1: as users. We got all the subscribers now to pivot
Speaker 1: our model. Everybody here. You know, in twenty fifteen, there
Speaker 1: were more people on Facebook than there were Catholics, Like like,
Speaker 1: let that sink in more practicing registered Catholics, like the
Speaker 1: whole religion. There's more people on Facebook than that. Right,
Speaker 1: So you like earth on these platforms, and if you
Speaker 1: like a kind hearted, pure hearted sociologist, you're like, dude,
Speaker 1: we can run the dopest sociological experiments. Ever, we've we've
Speaker 1: never had a chance to have a sample pool this large.
Speaker 1: If you're a hustler, you like, hey, come to my club,
Speaker 1: what is it worth it? Who? Who be at your club? Again?
Speaker 1: If you're a club promoter, I'm that's like again, I'm
Speaker 1: using this analogy. You're a club promoter and you like nigga.
Speaker 1: We average two million a day people at the club. Nigga,
Speaker 1: two million? You got something you want me to put
Speaker 1: some in front of these two million people. I could
Speaker 1: tell you not only what to I can not only
Speaker 1: allow you to put stuff in front of them. I
Speaker 1: could tell you specifically what they want to see. Well,
Speaker 1: how do you know, well, how do you know, as
Speaker 1: the advertiser, what the promoter says? What they told us?
Speaker 1: They really they walked up and told you what. No,
Speaker 1: they ain't walk up to the show. They logged on
Speaker 1: to their platform and they started clicking stuff. They came
Speaker 1: to the They came to the club and just ordered
Speaker 1: the same drink seventeen times. Now I know what they like.
Speaker 1: That food orders costs of egos, This food orders mescal,
Speaker 1: that food orders whiskey. These like beer. So look you
Speaker 1: see that section right there. They like beer, I'll make
Speaker 1: a flyer, put your beer logo right on the front
Speaker 1: and send it only today's section, right, I mean that
Speaker 1: side of that side. That's that side. Platforms had us
Speaker 1: on their pages. It was they went through the analytics,
Speaker 1: figured out what we like to started selling it to us. Now,
Speaker 1: how does that work? Well, that means if that's the case,
Speaker 1: if that's how I'm gonna meek money. If that's how
Speaker 1: if I'm a platform, that's what I'm gonna make money.
Speaker 1: I need you to stay on the platform. Now how
Speaker 1: do I get you to stay on the platform? Well,
Speaker 1: you know, you remember all this stuff with Facebook. They
Speaker 1: trying to move your eyes around, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: making you know, added different color patterns, make sure that
Speaker 1: that the home page is so excited, so many things
Speaker 1: to click. And then after a while we was like, yo,
Speaker 1: this is annoying. Right, So now it was like, all right,
Speaker 1: well how about stuff? How about I suggest for you
Speaker 1: things that you told me you liked, you know, on
Speaker 1: your Netflix app, you can turn off the like next
Speaker 1: episode starting in you know ten, Now you can turn
Speaker 1: that off, right, because they trying to keep you on
Speaker 1: the platform. You feel me? All that you know, when
Speaker 1: you open your you open your browser or Yo Yo
Speaker 1: Yo Yo streaming service, and the and the and the
Speaker 1: trailer just starts. You can turn that off. But how
Speaker 1: you make sure that the thing that's rolling and how
Speaker 1: you make sure you that's specific for every user, Well,
Speaker 1: you build a program. I'm only suggesting these things because
Speaker 1: you liked them. That's what you said, you liked listen.
Speaker 1: That's how. That's how your streaming platform. That's how Netflix works,
Speaker 1: That's how that's how YouTube works. That's how that's how Yo,
Speaker 1: that's how Yo Google. That's how. That's how the internet works.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm trying to say. This might break the internet,
Speaker 1: because it's just that's the internet we know. Now check
Speaker 1: this out. Guess what started happening with the ads. I
Speaker 1: don't know if y'all been seeing y'all been getting some
Speaker 1: like weird ads recently, where like the language don't make
Speaker 1: no dog on sense right, or what they what they're
Speaker 1: trying to sell. You don't really like, what the hell
Speaker 1: is this? It's because you know, Apple started saying when
Speaker 1: you lop download the things and say ask app not
Speaker 1: to track. A lot of us started asking the app
Speaker 1: not to track. And what's the app start not tracking?
Speaker 1: Then it doesn't know anything about you no more. It's
Speaker 1: got less data. So now it doesn't know what adds
Speaker 1: to give you. Y'all, we didn't broke the thing, so
Speaker 1: like it. One ways, us giving up our privacy has
Speaker 1: made our made us used to it and experience on
Speaker 1: the internet. Right, you walked into the club, the club
Speaker 1: is custom made for you because you unknowingly told the
Speaker 1: club what you liked. Sister, you walk in and it's
Speaker 1: brunettes everywhere, or it's it's dreadlocks everywhere. You like, damn
Speaker 1: everybody finding this club. I like this one. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep coming to this. Yeah, well, because you told him
Speaker 1: that's what you liked, Joe said, without telling them, that's
Speaker 1: what you like. And we ain't like that. We thought
Speaker 1: that was creeping. Now I'll stop asking me what I like.
Speaker 1: Now you walk in and you're like, I don't know, man,
Speaker 1: the club weird, you know what I'm saying. So they like, well, damn,
Speaker 1: what you want us to do? You want us to
Speaker 1: know or not know how the hell we posted to
Speaker 1: make money? Well, obviously there's an upside and a downside
Speaker 1: to that. The downside is well, what if you're into
Speaker 1: things that are awful? Again, we still haven't solved the
Speaker 1: free speech thing on the internet. I'm not even talking
Speaker 1: about that. That's gonna be the next that's that's part two.
Speaker 1: Well we don't even know what free speech means here,
Speaker 1: and what are the suggested solutions to this. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be part two of this. I'm just trying to lay
Speaker 1: out the problem. That's what I'm trying to say. Like, dog,
Speaker 1: I can't hold you shit, I can't call it this
Speaker 1: one thing gonna be two episodes, actually foe episodes, because
Speaker 1: you gotta understand the problem first and why this matters, nig,
Speaker 1: Like you need to know what you're looking at. I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna, I ain't gone. I ain't gonna. I ain't gonna.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonne, I ain't gonne. I ain't gonna, I
Speaker 1: ain't I ain't gonna. I ain't gonna. I ain't gonna.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna, I ain't gone. So here's not what
Speaker 1: happens this man, this person listen. It's whether it's the
Speaker 1: christ Church shooting, whether it's the Dalan roofs of the world, whatever,
Speaker 1: whatever the hell happened, and what with right wing rights
Speaker 1: or right wings extremism out here, Nigga, the Internet, like obviously,
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all remember like the Arab Spring,
Speaker 1: you know in Egypt, when these activists like took down
Speaker 1: their government. That was the Internet. So there's a plus
Speaker 1: to it where it's like you find each other, shit
Speaker 1: gets suggested, y'all learn how to like collaborate, connect, you
Speaker 1: build a community, and a lot of that stuff is
Speaker 1: because this algorithm is understanding the shit you want to
Speaker 1: talk about, the things you're trying to see, and it
Speaker 1: puts you all together. There's things where it's beautiful. But
Speaker 1: on the other hand, Miramar nigga disinformation leading a dog
Speaker 1: on genocides and then bringing it to this point right
Speaker 1: now where an extremist got radicalized via an algorithm. Whose
Speaker 1: fault is it? What should the law be? What's the
Speaker 1: difference between a suggestion a retweet? What about a cooking show?
Speaker 1: What if? What if you're just in it? Is there?
Speaker 1: Can the algorithm can make any distinction between what's a
Speaker 1: cooking show? You know, something nice and innocent where you
Speaker 1: wanted to make you wanted to bake oatmeal cookies. And
Speaker 1: then it says yo, are you in the peanut butter cookies?
Speaker 1: What's and it just suggested, not telling you to click it,
Speaker 1: It just suggested that you was into that. Does it
Speaker 1: can it tell the difference? Does it flag extremism? And
Speaker 1: then how do you decide what's extremism? Because, as you know,
Speaker 1: one man's terrorist is another man's revolutionary. Hell, one man's
Speaker 1: Andrew Jackson is another man's Nelson Mandela. I wrote a
Speaker 1: song about it called Andrew Mandela where I'm comparing the two.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. You asked me, Andrew Jackson
Speaker 1: is a textbook terrorist, that's a genocidal Do you understand
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say, right, well, one of the greatest wrongs,
Speaker 1: Old Hickory, You're the greatestrong. Just like the trailer tears
Speaker 1: my nigga like he's a terrorist. You know, I'm saying,
Speaker 1: how do you decide that? That's Listen, nobody happy with
Speaker 1: the Internet. The conservatives swearing they voices being censored, Nigga
Speaker 1: deliberals is saying they voices is being censored, and right
Speaker 1: wing stuff is getting pushed to the everybody got dare,
Speaker 1: everybody got receipts about it? Ship I can't call it.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna hold you. Nobody happy but the Internet?
Speaker 1: Why because we still don't know how to use it?
Speaker 1: What the hell is free speech on the Internet? I
Speaker 1: don't know. So if the algorithm flags this thing crushes
Speaker 1: that video, do they get sued for censorship? Because who
Speaker 1: gets to say? What is terrorism? What is out of
Speaker 1: bounds American law? This is the Internet. The Internet's not
Speaker 1: America your European law, Internet and Europe either where? Who
Speaker 1: gets there? Who's the what's what's internet jail? You get
Speaker 1: kicked off the Internet? Like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like they're they're private companies. How do you like? And
Speaker 1: and the private companies are not even the Internet themselves?
Speaker 1: They're the website? Is it the hosting? Like? Who do
Speaker 1: you sue? Who do you set the law for? I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna hold you. I don't know. All I'm saying
Speaker 1: is we can't call it y'all. Now, why should you care?
Speaker 1: Obviously you understand why you should care, because like this
Speaker 1: is gonna change the Internet as you own. No matter
Speaker 1: what they decide, the Internet as we know it is changed.
Speaker 1: Now next week I want to talk about some of
Speaker 1: the suggestions they made or it has been floated around
Speaker 1: as answers to this because these nineteen ninety six laws
Speaker 1: they just don't work, because it's built on a world
Speaker 1: that just really don't exist no more. What like what
Speaker 1: is we gonna do? It'd be like, you know, homie,
Speaker 1: come back home. Look, bring it back to the homie
Speaker 1: come back home after doing a good twenty five year bid.
Speaker 1: He looking at the streets like you little young niggas
Speaker 1: are weird, Like the world is not what you remember.
Speaker 1: It's not like there are some card and fast rules
Speaker 1: that change. Some of the ogs understand that the change,
Speaker 1: but then some of the stuff is like you little
Speaker 1: you you you do you knew, niggas is weird. This
Speaker 1: ain't the world I'll remember. I mean, that's that's where
Speaker 1: we're at. And what's crazy is how high these stakes
Speaker 1: are because as the entire world's economy, every dollar niggat
Speaker 1: all money, like all of the money, all of the business,
Speaker 1: all of it like international DP like uh international product
Speaker 1: like like all of it. It's on the internet, like
Speaker 1: it's on the internet, like like this will shut down
Speaker 1: the not just like all world world economics. No, I
Speaker 1: mean literally like the if you like if you get
Speaker 1: this wrong, or if you do nothing like if if
Speaker 1: and it's like if you like part of why none
Speaker 1: of these things have gotten to the Supreme Court have
Speaker 1: gotten to this level because it's like most companies just
Speaker 1: cash out. It's like, I'll just settle out of court.
Speaker 1: I'll just pay y'all because if you're gonna bring suit,
Speaker 1: it's not worth the danger of tearing down the whole Internet.
Speaker 1: And there's too much money to be made. So I
Speaker 1: tell you out, you know, cut you off family a
Speaker 1: couple of million. You know what I'm saying, Like I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not admitting guilt. I'm just saying, let's just make
Speaker 1: this go away, because like the questions too big, and like,
Speaker 1: no matter what we decide, who gets to enforce it?
Speaker 1: Because they private companies. You can't make a law over
Speaker 1: the internet because the Internet is not a place. That's
Speaker 1: that's why I'm like, it's just big. So why we
Speaker 1: should care is because I mean, it's gonna change the
Speaker 1: change how you move as we know it. No matter
Speaker 1: what they decide, it's better by gold. I'm just kidding,
Speaker 1: or at least this and it's so stupid to come
Speaker 1: to something this trivial, but like, yeah, like judges are left.
Speaker 1: Did you know, we're not They're not voted on, they're
Speaker 1: selected and elected. So like we need to really think
Speaker 1: about who be on these courts. And once it gets
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court obviously, like that's that's a presidential choice.
Speaker 1: I don't know. And when I say elected, I don't
Speaker 1: mean like you vote on him. I mean like they're
Speaker 1: elected in the sense that the people we vote to
Speaker 1: put in office choose the judges. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: Like I don't have that makes sense to you, but anyway,
Speaker 1: so you need to think about who you putt in
Speaker 1: the office. The point I'm trying to make is like
Speaker 1: whenever big things like this happens, a lot of times,
Speaker 1: us in these sort of melaninated circles sometimes be like
Speaker 1: the last to know or don't really understand how it
Speaker 1: affects us until it's too late. So I'm just saying
Speaker 1: right now, like I ain't gonna hold you this, this
Speaker 1: one's big. I'll talk about some of these suggestions next week.
Speaker 1: Ain't all right, I ain't gone, I ain't gonna, I
Speaker 1: ain't gonna, I ain't gonna, I ain't gonne I ain't
Speaker 1: gonna you know, I don't know why I ain't thought
Speaker 1: of this before, but you know you could use promo
Speaker 1: code hood for fifteen percent off on terraform coldbrew dot com.
Speaker 1: Like I forgot I owned that company and this is
Speaker 1: my pod. Y'all, go ahead and punch it. Promo cod
Speaker 1: hood if you're in the cold brew and get you
Speaker 1: some cold brew, gonna get you some coffee. Yeah, Like
Speaker 1: I can't believe, I ain't think it is still right now, y'all, y'all,
Speaker 1: This thing right here was recorded by Me Propaganda and
Speaker 1: East Low Spoiled Heights, Los Angeles, California. This thing was mixed, edited, mastered,
Speaker 1: and scored by the one and the only Matt Olsowski.
Speaker 1: Y'all check out this fool's music. I mean it's incredible.
