0:00 So, we all remember what it was like to grow up without being stuck to the internet, right? >> Mhm. >> And where the internet was kind of more of a recreational thing that we would do. It wasn't integrated into everyday life. Your your electric fan didn't have Wi-Fi and blue All that stuff was gone. >> Like all that crazy smart home stuff. >> And it was a very small percentage of the day that you actually did log on to check your email or just browse or do little things like that, right? Since then, a whole lot has changed. Do you guys know about dead internet theory? >> Yeah. What is that? >> This started a long, long time ago, and it was a theory that a lot of the stuff you're seeing online that's being posted or said or represented in any way is purely just a bot, and eventually it's just going to be bots talking to bots, and you're going to be somewhere in the middle. >> Wow.
0:50 >> And guess where we are as of June 2026. Majority of things and people on the internet are bots. >> There's more bots than real people? >> There's more bots than real people now. >> Remember when Elon took over X or Twitter and then he found like majority of that ████ was bots and he had to wipe out all those accounts? >> Yeah, so now it's dead internet theory is no longer theory. There's places literally on the internet where it's just bots speaking to each other, posting to each other, and there's not even a >> Just commenting, replying, commenting, replying, liking, posting, whatever. >> Holy ████ >> Mhm. Posting, commenting, replying, everything. The entire like the social framework of whatever that is could just be fake people. >> I think it's even way deeper than that. It's like deep in the infrastructure. There's bots talking to other bots in other company structures and
1:40 infrastructure working on different things to like build and progress companies. Like I know it for a fact on behind like real estate credit unions that they're literally bots that are talking to other bots cuz my buddy's business is in that and it's like all of that stuff. There's these little bots talking to each other and then that's going to affect all of our loans. >> Man, I should have knew I should have known it. There's I was like, there's no way these 30 models are always commenting on my ████ page every day. Like I'm not I'm like where are they in real life, you know? Like damn, they're just bots. I knew it. >> And that's a crazy thing too because like a lot of people don't realize how easy it is to program a bot to say the most uh I guess like not insightful, but the most igniting thing >> Yeah. >> for the topic at hand for people to be engaged and say, "No, it's not." Or "That's crazy. Why would you say that?" You know, like the bots aren't going to
2:30 be there to just move with the momentum. If your If your goal is to generate discord and generate uh engagement on whatever your posts are, it's no surprise that a lot of these people you think you're arguing with aren't even people. >> That's why I think it's hilarious like when um what's that one documentary that came out about Facebook? It was like >> Social Network? >> Not the movie. No, no, seriously, seriously. The >> They had the one about how like >> Social Dilemma or something ████ like that. >> Dilemma. >> Yeah. >> But >> So >> they In that, they were talking about um troll farms. And like that was the beginning, I think, before bots where actual either government or like private companies will have a whole freaking skyscraper of just guys commenting whatever agenda whether it's like to do espionage, to
3:22 ████ up a culture, or like it's just you got paid because >> To get people to argue basically. >> Or they have data to show you how captivating the algorithm is. So now they know the person psychology and they can keep They can make you buy the thing they want you to buy. And it's like they're going down this path and they're acknowledging that this does exist. They do have this kind of analysis and data. >> Or even like let's say you opened up a new Instagram, like a new platform, right? And you want activity, but you only got like five users, and then you don't want them to feel like it's a boring place, then you hire one of these bot guys to just get ████ going. >> Right. >> You know, like cuz back in the day, like I think Reddit or or one of those guys, they used to just create hella accounts and chat with themselves. >> Yeah. >> So, it feels like there's like Discord
4:12 going on. >> Yeah, but it is that thing where like even the webmaster of the page is not a real person. Even the Even the you know, how it how it updates is not a real person. And everyone that's on there in the forum chatting is not a real person. It's crazy that majority of the internet is now that. >> Does it make you feel like you want to pull out of the internet more? >> I don't think I There's a That's even an option anymore. >> But don't you guys have an eye for it, though? Like you know. >> I think there's very common things you can do, like just don't give really give a ████ about anyone that's like talking to you that you don't know, really. >> I had this crazy ass thought the other day where I was like, I can't believe I'm even thinking like this, but I feel like it's some sort of like my own internal cleansing or rehab of myself. I'm like, I think I want to go back to the days where I go to the the bank and I just pull out the amount of money I'm going to use for the month and just pay everything cash, so I physically feel
5:03 what's going on. Instead of all these auto transactions, this is pay my car payment, whatever. Like I feel like I feel like I'm so not in control of my life that I don't know what's happening. And then So, like when I when I hear stuff like this where like we're just plugged in into the sea of digital ████ artifacts or whatever, it makes me go, I want to pull more out of it so I can deal with more people in the real life. Cuz we're moving more and more towards like the Matrix life, right? >> Right, like if you were to go off grid, you mean? Like completely? >> Like slowly eventually like little more and more like Like now I have it a thing where like pretty much after 7:00, I just leave my phone down, so I can spend time with the people that are actually around me. Like I'm not even on I'm like, I'm going to spend time in the real life rather than the fake life, you know? >> Ain't it crazy how before that was like a poor person's life and now it's like you got to get rich to
5:53 be able to unplug and be a homesteader. >> That's where I'm at with it. That's why I was bringing up how back in the day it was like a leisurely thing to be like, "Ah, let's see how the old nets doing." You know? But then now it's like you can't. It's every It's too well integrated. >> Cuz now everybody's like this. >> And it's too well connected with anything you want to do. Cuz like what You know you guys know that how like one of the most masterful things they're always trying to do with money in the in the finance tech world is eliminate the use of cash because that is the most you feel the loss. So they're trying to get everything digital all the time. And that's one of the conspiracies behind why they allow so much robbery and ████ too. Cuz it discourages people from using cash. You ever hear about that? That's a kind of a outlandish one, but like kind of spooky if you think about it. The crazy thing is that it used to be a boogeyman to say that someone was a bot
6:43 back in the day. Like okay, yeah, you're calling everyone bots cuz you can't accept what someone's saying to you, but now you are statistically more likely to be speaking to a non-human. >> Most of the time almost all customer service is some ████ ████ bot. >> That's true. >> I enjoy yelling at them though. >> [laughter] >> You ████ give me a human, you piece >> Dude, when you get a human, it's crazy how much relief it is sometimes. >> Yeah. >> Oh, dude, you're like, "Oh my god." >> Yeah, it's really surprising. >> Yeah, cuz you're like finally I can troubleshoot something that's going to respond immediately on my situation. >> Yeah. >> Not the generic umbrella concept of categorizing my problem. >> And it takes [clears throat] 1 minute instead of 3 days. >> It makes me appreciate the Indian guys more, too. Cuz at least you're getting a human. Cuz that's what who I have to call when they don't pick up my trash. It goes straight to India. I call them and I call Republic Services. Hey, you guys missed the pickup. It's an Indian guy.
7:33 >> Bro, Republic Services kind of sucks. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> You can suck when you're a monopoly. >> Yeah. >> They just keep missing the garbage pickup. They just don't get it sometimes and then I call then it goes to India and that guy that guy has no idea. >> You call Ranjit, you're like, "What's going on here?" >> [laughter] >> Yeah, he has no idea. But that's a really scary thought to think that if that's where we are now, that this is just 2026. I mean, the the progress we're going to see in the next 10 is going to be faster than the last 10. >> Didn't you guys develop an eye for it? Like having an eye for AI and like just everything like cuz if if it looks like a burner account, I'm like, "Why the ████ respond?" >> so, but it's just someone's always working on the next thing that you can't develop the eye fast enough anymore. >> But the part the part is I don't want to see it. It's like you know when you go swimming in the ocean, I can see that
8:23 that's trash. I just want to go in the ocean that I don't see trash bags, bottles cuz I can see the trash in front of me. I don't want to see trash. >> I see The way I see it is when I walk into Walmart, right? There's just going to be some ugly ████ people cuz it's just existing. But my eyes just don't look that way, you know? I just I need to get some baking powder. >> What if they were all bots but they're really attractive? >> I'd rather have that. >> That's what it is now. You know all those AI chicks and ████ Like super hot AI chicks, you know they're all fake? >> Yeah, even like on on OF, like it's just a bunch of like paid subscription for AI chat. >> Do you think your eyes would just be like, "Can I just get some ugly s███?" Like you get beauty fatigue? I think my eyes go I just want to go stare at a tree. >> I love >> [sighs] >> trees. >> Well, we know why you want to pick a tree. >> [laughter] >> But isn't that funny that like that's a
9:13 funny thing you said that that you get beauty fatigue? Do you get beauty fatigue? >> No, but I did get ugly fatigue. Do you Do you remember that site People of Walmart? >> [laughter] >> Yeah. >> So, People of Walmart is pretty hilarious. So, it's like >> No, it's just ugly people being like candidly taken photos. >> outfits. >> It's mostly like backwater redneck crazy people, yeah. >> Pull it up. People of Walmart. So, like it's just weird outfits, crazy looking people and I used to love that page, right? But I would get ugly fatigue because I would be like >> How many hours are you staring at people of Walmart? >> for like 2 hours. It's like a movie. >> Jesus. >> because I've seen so much ugly ████ I need to wash it with beautiful ████ So I start looking at models or something. >> Joe's just in a vicious vortex of just
10:05 watching people Walmart and porn and just going back he's like, "Dude, I'm just coming too much. I got to SEE UGLY PEOPLE." >> I beauty fatigue now I need ugly. Oh, ugly fatigue. Oh, now I need beauty. >> [laughter] >> I feel like the porn, you know the people comment on porn? That's got to be mostly bots though, right? >> I I would think so. No, this is people of Walmart. >> Well, so people of Walmart doesn't exist anymore. They don't I don't think the site's around but everyone posts people of Walmart style stuff. >> Yeah, so people of Walmart was just like pictures. >> That's just regular people. >> [laughter] >> This guy. >> Stavros. >> First one looked like a human labia. >> Yeah. >> That was crazy. >> Yeah, it was like things like this. It was just like, "What the hell happened?" >> you know what the exact URL is? >> It was literally peopleofwalmart.com. >> Yeah. You're going to do a way back? >> Yeah, I'm going to check it out.
10:55 >> They're using the word human very loosely here, huh? >> Yeah. >> [laughter]
