Added: 2026-05-28

[00:00:00]Gary mentioned the lawsuit. What do you think of it?

[00:00:05]>> I think we're in a moment of great chaos where it's very hard to predict, even harder than usual to predict things. So, the outcome of uh upcoming elections both here and elsewhere will be important to what happens right now. The population in general is very uncomfortable with the the tech industry.

[00:00:23]>> Yeah, that's an understatement.

[00:00:24]>> Yeah. And I mean, it's funny for me because uh at some point in the past, I was one of the very few people criticizing us, although doing it from the inside, and everybody thought it was just really weird. And now everybody's doing it. And I almost feel too conformist cuz I want to be the weirdo.

[00:00:38]>> I want to be the weirdo with you, and now you're just a regular guy.

[00:00:42]>> Yeah. See, that's really awkward. So, I have to >> You've been saying since 2016, delete your social accounts. And now, >> longer than that. That's just the book.

[00:00:50]But yeah, and um and my friends and I made a movie called The Social Dilemma.

[00:00:54]that the same high school kids are forced to watch and all that and I maybe it does a slight bit of good every once in one of them tells me they did but if it was left to a popular vote everything would change but it's not and there's a property of digital networks that's a math thing that's not a political thing and the math thing is called the network effect or the extreme paro effect or there's other words for it and what happens is when you have a very low fraction system of things that are connected together once there's one note that becomes more influential. It starts as Andy Warhol put it put it put it gets famous for being famous and it accumulates and accumulates and you start to have this hyper centralized power and influence around one node and that node might be called Meta or Google or some you know those are examples. Oh.
