0:00 There's like a AI that checks AI. So you throw You've seen it, right? Like people will check it in the system. Oh, this is 80% chance written by AI. >> Yeah. Well, they they said that about the Declaration of Independence. >> What the hell? >> Welcome back to another episode of Careful Boys. What do you guys think of all of these X accounts that are being revealed as uh being located in other countries? >> That s███'s crazy. They called it a glitch, right? >> Well, X was. >> So X rolled out a new uh a new feature where now you can see where accounts are based out of. So let's say that like uh there's this for instance there'll be like an account called Magna Nation all about American values and you can click on it and it'll show you. >> Yeah. It'll be like India, >> Pakistan.
0:50 >> Yeah. >> And and there's so many pages that are uh people are finding. So here's a bunch. There's like uh isn't Homeland one of the biggest scandals? >> That was a crazy one. There's government Instagrams that are like Israel or like weird. >> That one might not be true. >> Oh, really? >> I think that one's I think that one's fake. Yeah. So, so one of the first things that that you brought that up. One of the first things that come out was that the Homeland Security page, DHSGV, somebody uh released this and it said that it was based in Tel Aviv, Israel. I heard it was true in terms of the fact that you clicked on Homeland because you could just go to their profile and that did pop up, but then X like right away said, "Yeah, it's a glitch and then they changed it." >> That's what I heard. That's what I heard, too. >> Okay. I would I would believe it more if it was like Madagascar. But with everything going on right now with ████ Israel, this makes it so sus,
1:42 man. >> When you want to know how you can tell, like there's a couple different ways. One, one, they proved that like the DHS .gov account is a government account. So any government account on X has a gray check mark. It's not in this photo. Normally it's there. Also, when you take the easiest way to check anything, you can you can go to that part on X on anyone's profile, take a screenshot of this and then up the contrast and the black value, and if you see bars around anything, that means somebody put it in there. >> Oh, so this is edited. It's not >> That's what they said. J DHS gov said that the this is actually edited and somebody put it out and everyone went crazy. >> Well, you think DHS would know about VPNs [laughter] >> like very least if they if that is true they should VPN it into DC right >> located in >> right because I assume that's just by like IP.
2:32 >> Yeah. >> Let me try to show you. Yeah. But a bunch of that a bunch of MAGA pages are coming out as like being from India, Bangladesh, whatever. And then a bunch of uh oddly enough, a bunch of Native American activism pages are being out of Bangladesh, too. >> Wow. >> Whoa. >> The reasoning isn't so much like people are like the first thing they go to is like, "Oh, wow." They're like trying to sway politics. They're actually just trying to farm engagement. So, a lot of these pages are they just know that like people buy into this ████ and it's easy for them to do. So, that's how they're like imagine like what the average person in their area is making. It's so low that like something like this would be like >> Yeah. It's like the uh fake bag makers. They're not targeting LV. It's just a lot of people buy LV, so we'll just make fake LV, >> right? It's not personal. Yeah. Two or three easy explanations cuz Yeah, there's one, right? They just know that
3:23 you can get views and get paid now on X or YouTube or anything. Two, if you like hire someone to run your ████ for you, you're going to Fiverr and so then they sign in or whatever and they're just doing your ████ like Clippers and stuff like that. Um, the other one is I think bots like have you guys heard of like like data internet theory and all that >> they say that's already we're already sitting at like 80 90%. >> A lot of the comments, a lot of the engagement >> just all bots talking to each other. >> Yeah. And especially as AI like I read that AI at least I think Gro has like a 120 plus IQ already. Like of course >> they're going to run everything. They're going to run comments and bots the first thing that's so easy. make a billion accounts in the snap of a finger and make real engaging content >> and then they're all just talking to each other >> because the fake accounts now are kind of crazy. They do a good job of like how they make these fake profiles on
4:13 Instagram. >> Yeah, cuz I remember when the whole Elon taking over X was a big deal and people would talk about it and they'd go and you could click on so there'd be like a comment that seems kind of real and then you click on it and all the rest of it you're like, "Oh, that's a bot." Like you could tell by the username was JFK lll or something and then the rest were like ████ comments or one and two were really good but now you click on it looks like a normal person like they're like talking about their lunch and ████ >> Yeah. You just never know. You'll just never know. >> Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I'll show you guys in a second. >> Oh, you got the contrast trick. >> Yeah, I wanted to show you how that looks. But um yeah, so like if you This is just a screenshot of like Elon Musk's page or whatever. you just go to like any of these exposure things and just like no matter what you do to mess with it, it's always going to be the same color behind the words. Like that's
5:03 never going to you see like I turn that all the way up and there's no like >> you can't adjust the words. >> Yeah. You can't adjust like any of that stuff. But if somebody puts something in, usually that's going to change color. How real do you think the uh cuz there's like a AI that checks AI. So you throw [laughter] You've seen it, right? Like people check it into the system. Oh, this is 80% chance written by AI. >> Yeah. Well, they they said that about the Declaration of Independence. [laughter] >> What the hell? >> Someone threw the Declaration in there like dude talk about like simulation theory. Like we're ████ if someone wrote that. But I wonder is there something accurate? Like >> AI said AI wrote that. >> It said it said AI thinks declaration of hands is 99% AI. >> Like 98 98 9% was written by AI. >> What makes it like the format or something? >> Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how they analyze it, but I was wondering if there's a good one for pictures now. I don't know >> because we're going to need that. So,
5:53 here's a here's a screenshot of the one that went around for Homeland Security, right? So, I'm going to go exposure and you turn it up. >> Brilliance. You turn it up. >> Highlights. >> Yeah. The words change with >> You start seeing like bars. You see these bars on the outside of the It might be hard to see, >> but like I'll zoom in. So you see these like you see these black bars where the words are >> that you can't really get rid of that as easily when you like stitch something that's black on black. You won't see it. But then all you got to do is that and you can tell that somebody put some new ████ That's why I don't believe it cuz I'm like, "Oh, that's the ████ common thing that people do to check." >> That could be easily doctorred, too. Right. >> My dumb ass can't tell the difference. >> But it but it was hot news for a second. Huge. Yeah, it was huge. People were wild and like semi-legitimate sources were tweeting about it. >> Yeah. There's also a guy, I don't know if you've heard of him, but his name is
6:43 Ian Miles Chong, and uh he's got a lot of followers. He he comments a ton about uh he does a lot of commentary about American uh politics and culture. >> Can you pull him up? Is he kind of conspiracy? >> 1.2 million followers. Yeah. Ian Miles Chong. >> You might have seen that. >> Yeah, I've seen him. >> Yeah, you've seen him. >> Yeah. Yeah. He's kind of conspiracy-ish. You've seen that bottom right picture. >> So, apparently this fool's never even been to America. [laughter] >> What the hell? I don't know if it's true, but like >> how's he such an expert on American politics? He's not American. >> He's based out of United Arab Emirates and uh people are got mad at him and they were like, "What? You you're not even you don't even live here. >> Did he move there?" >> Then he was like, "Who said I did?" And he was like defending it like >> oh the worst way possible. >> He his defense of it is like American politics is global politics so it should still be okay for me to comment on it. But then people are like >> like Zubie, he's from you know Saudi
7:35 Arabia or something. Yeah. But does he doesn't live in Oh, yeah. He lives in the UK. Isn't he Canadian? >> Zubie? >> Yeah. >> Uh, well, when we had him on, he said he had him on. >> He he lives in Saudi Arabia now. >> Yeah. I think >> I thought he grew up in the Middle East. >> Oh, maybe. Maybe I'm wrong. [snorts] >> Or he spent hella time there cuz he talks about it as if like that's his home. >> I mean, a lot of libertarian ass folk are starting to move over there. >> I guess this guy's from Malaysia and then moved to the U8. Yeah, I just seen his Twi Twitter ████ pop up. Yeah. There's also this >> America politics is global politics though. >> Yeah. And it is a hard argument to say like you have to have been somewhere to like know about it, you know? Like you could know a ████ ton about the human body and not be a surgeon. [laughter] >> Yeah. Yeah. Magnation is a page that has 400K that's um based in Eastern Europe.
8:26 >> America First 67K based in Bangladesh. uh rep uh Republicans against Trump, which is anti-Trump, is based in Austria. >> I mean, if all that is real, like talk about like propaganda and power, you know, and >> well, we already know about troll farms. >> Yeah, I I could see that working too that like some of them are just trying to, you know, Native American soul based in Bangladesh. [laughter] >> That's a cool name. >> American voice based in South Asia. That is dangerous though, right? >> Support Native Americans. So, the thing is, um, and someone brought this good point up. They were like, if you just disabled the ability to sell t-shirts and and crypto or whatever on X, you'd probably get rid of a lot of fake pages [laughter] cuz these Native American things, they sell Native American support >> really like Cherokee coin or some ████
9:17 >> So, like beaded curtains and ████ So, they're all just trying to sell something. >> But people are making money now on views on Twitter. And like you said, like with currency exchange, like if you're in a broke part of the world, >> that's true. $5 could feed your whole family. >> Maybe, bro. >> So, you get a couple likes on there saying some rage bait ████ Why wouldn't you do that? >> Well, that's that's a that was a big problem that was happening with Threads for a bit when Threads uh started rolling out their uh where they were paying people for engagement. >> You can make money on threads. Not not currently, but when they were trying to pump it, they were letting people do these uh basically like Instagram reels where they were like giving you like a a pump if you like had content and people were just saying the wildest ████ just to get people arguing. So stuff people don't even believe they still do that on Twitter for sure, >> but the money is if you're an American, the money is so ████ >> Like the only platforms that you're going to make money on YouTube, Twitch,
10:08 like you're not making Snapchat actually pays a ████ ton, but you're not making money on I had something go crazy viral on Instagram. I made like 500 bucks. >> Sick. >> On reals or just >> Yeah, bro. I'm talking crazy. There's like a 60 million views. >> Whoa. >> And I made like 500 bucks. Yeah. If that's on YouTube, I'm pulling up in a Lambo, you know. [laughter] >> That's true. Yeah. So, all these pages now, you can uh all you got to do is you just click the name on X and then it'll it'll show you all this data. Date joined, account based in. >> You guys aren't really on X like that, huh? Are you Ryan? >> No, not really. >> I'm just doing threads. >> X is my main ████ Oh, really? That's your main thing? It is really entertaining. It's insane. >> When I want to see the wild ████ I go on X >> X. You see the So, that's why I first started because it got totally unregulated. It was wild as ████ But I also think the algorithm is good. And I think maybe I'm biased, but uh and not
10:58 me, this going to sound now that I set it up this way like I'm an idiot, but I do think the smartest people are there. [laughter] >> Like geniuses are making Tik Tok dances, >> right? >> You know what I mean? >> The conversations are more interesting, >> bro. I I told Bart I hop every morning was when I'm first getting on like my emails or my computer work. I hop into uh spaces on there and they're all just like genius finance. >> It's also a brick by brick thing though where like you built your algo so your your ████ probably looks smarter than mine does. >> Yeah, because everyone complains about uh Twitter porn. I've never seen a titty on Twitter. >> Dude, mine's nothing but >> You're not searching it right, dude. That's what I'm saying. Mine's Mine's all politics. >> Yeah, bunny shaking and fighting. >> Mine's like Bitcoin politics, finance, and real estate. So, it's just like literally smartass people. >> Yeah. You see, there you go, man. Brick by brick. >> And right now there's a lot of anti-semitism on mine. And I didn't even [laughter] click anything. >> Like I didn't even >> Yeah, bro.
