<s><|user|> The same seal?<|end|> <|assistant|> No different seal.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Okay. Did you get a seal of approval?<|end|> <|assistant|> Exactly. Seal of approval. No, I mean I don't think the public is quite aware of the madness that goes on.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah. Yeah. it's absurd.<|end|> <|assistant|> Fricking seals with fricking headphones.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I mean, this is a good encapsulation of the absurdity of human civilization, seals in headphones.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yes.<|end|>

<s><|user|> What are the pros and cons of open sourcing AI to you as another way to combat a company running away with AGI?<|end|> <|assistant|> In order to run really deep intelligence, you need a lot of compute. So it's not like you can just fire up a PC in your basement and be running AGI, at least not yet. Grok was trained on 8,000 A100's running at peak efficiency and Grok's going to get a lot better, by the way, we will be more than doubling our compute every couple months for the next several months.<|end|>

<s><|user|> there's a nice writeup, on how we went from Grok zero to Grok one.<|end|> <|assistant|> By Grok?<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah, right, grok just bragging, making shit up about itself.<|end|> <|assistant|> Just Grok, Grok, Grok.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah. that's like a weird AI dating site where it exaggerates about itself. No, there's a writeup of where it stands now, the history of its development, and where it stands on some benchmarks compared to the state-of-the art GPT-3 five. And so I mean, there's, you can open source, once it's trained, you can open source a model. For fine-tuning, all that kind of stuff. What to is the pros and cons of that, of open sourcing base models?<|end|> <|assistant|> I think the to open sourcing, I think perhaps with a slight time delay, I don't know, six months even. I think I'm generally in favor of open sourcing, biased towards open sourcing. I mean, it is a concern to me that OpenAI, I was I think, I guess oddly the prime mover behind OpenAI in the sense that it was created because of discussions that I had with Larry Page back when he and I were friends and I stayed at his house and I talked to him about AI safety, and Larry did not care about AI safety, or at least at the time he didn't. And at one point he called me a speciesist for being pro-human, and I'm like, well, what team are you on, Larry? He's still on Team Robot to be clear. And I'm like, okay. So at the time Google had acquired DeepMind, they had probably two thirds of all AI researchers in the world. They had basically infinite money and compute, and the guy in charge, Larry Page, did not care about safety and even yelled at me and caught me a speciesist for being pro-human.<|end|>

<s><|user|> So I don't know if you notice about humans, they can change their mind and maybe you and Larry Page can still, can be friends once more.<|end|> <|assistant|> I'd like to be friends with Larry again. Really the breaking of the friendship was over OpenAI and specifically I think the key moment was recruiting Ilya Sutskever.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I love Ilya. He's so brilliant.<|end|> <|assistant|> Ilya is a good human, smart, good heart, and that was a tough recruiting battle. It was mostly Demis on one side and me on the other, both trying to recruit Ilya, and Ilya went back and forth, he was going to stay at Google, he was going to leave, then he was going to stay, then he'll leave. And finally he did agree to join OpenAI. That was one of the toughest recruiting battles we've ever had. But that was really the linchpin for OpenAI being successful. And I was also instrumental in recruiting a number of other people, and I provided all of the funding in the beginning, over $40 million. And the name, the open in open AI is supposed to mean open source, and it was created as a nonprofit open source, and now it is a closed source for maximum profit, which I think is not good karma.<|end|>

<s><|user|> But like we talked about with war and leaders talking, I do hope that, there's only a few folks working on this at the highest level. I do hope you reinvigorate friendships here.<|end|> <|assistant|> Like I said, I'd like to be friends again with Larry. I haven't seen him in ages and we were friends for a very long time. I met Larry Page before he got funding for Google, or actually I guess before he got venture funding, I think he got the first like $100k from I think Bechtel Zeimer or someone.<|end|>

<s><|user|> it's wild to think about all that happened, and you guys known each other that whole time, it's 20 years.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, since maybe 98 or something.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah, it's crazy. Crazy how much has happened since then.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, 25 years, a lot has happened. it's insane.<|end|>

<s><|user|> But you're seeing the tension there that maybe delayed open source.<|end|> <|assistant|> Delayed, yeah, like what is the source that is open? You know what I mean? there's basically, it's a giant CSB file with a bunch of numbers. What do you do with that giant file of numbers? How do you run, the amount of actual, the lines of code is very small and most of the work, the software work is in the curation of the data. So it's like trying to figure out what data is, separating good data from bad data. You can't just crawl the internet because theres a lot of junk out there. A huge percentage of websites have more noise than signal because They're just used for search engine optimization. They're literally just scam websites.<|end|>

<s><|user|> How do you, by the way, sorry to interrupt, get the signal, separate the signal and noise on X? that's such a fascinating source of data. No offense to people posting on X, but sometimes there's a little bit of noise.<|end|> <|assistant|> I think the signal noise could be greatly improved. Really, all of the posts on the X platform should be AI recommended, meaning we should populate a vector space around any given post, compare that to the vector space around any user and match the two. Right now there is a little bit of AI used for the recommended posts, but it's mostly heuristics. And if there's a reply where the reply to a post could be much better than the original post, but will, according to the current rules of the system, get almost no attention compared to a primary post.<|end|>

<s><|user|> So a lot of that, I got the sense, so a lot of the X algorithm has been open sourced and been written up about, and it seems there to be some machine learning. it's disparate, but there's some machine.<|end|> <|assistant|> it's a little bit, but it needs to be entirely that. At least, if you explicitly follow someone, that's one thing. But in terms of what is recommended from people that you don't follow, that should all be AI.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I mean it's a fascinating problem. So there's several aspects of it that's fascinating. First, as the write-up goes, it first picks 1500 tweets from a pool of hundreds of millions. First of all, that's fascinating. You have hundreds of millions of posts every single day, and it has to pick 1500 from which it then does obviously people you follow, but then there's also some kind of clustering it has to do to figure out what kind of human are you, what kind of new clusters might be relevant to you, people like you. This kind of problem is just fascinating because it has to then rank those 1500 with some filtering and then recommend you just a handful. And to me, what's really fascinating is how fast it has to do that. So currently that entire pipeline to go from several hundred million to a handful takes 220 seconds of CPU time, single CPU time, and then it has to do that in a second. So it has to be super distributed in fascinating ways. there's just a lot of tweets, there's a lot.<|end|> <|assistant|> there's a lot of stuff on the system, but I think, right now it's not currently good at recommending things from accounts you don't follow or where there's more than one degree of separation. So it is pretty good if there's at least some commonality between someone you follow liked something or reposted it or commented on it or something like that. But if there's no, let's say somebody posts something really interesting, but you have no followers in common, you would not see it.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Interesting. And then as you said, replies might not surface either.<|end|> <|assistant|> Replies basically never get seen currently. I'm not saying it's correct, I'm saying it's incorrect. Replies have a couple order magnitude less importance than primary posts.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Do you think this can be more and more converted into end to end mural net?<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah. Yeah, that's what it should be. Well, the recommendations should be purely a vector correlation. there's a series of vectors basically parameters, vectors, whatever you want to call them, but sort of things that the system knows that you like. Maybe there's several hundred vectors associated with each user account and then any post in the system, whether it's video, audio, short post, long post. The reason by the way I want to move away from tweet is that people are posting two, three hour videos on the site. that's not a tweet. It'd be like tweet for two hours? Come on. Tweet made sense when it was 140 characters of text. Because it's like a bunch of little birds tweeting. But when you've got long form content, it's no longer a tweet. So a movie is not a tweet. Apple, for example, posted the entire episode of The Silo, the entire thing, on a platform. By the way, it was their number one social media thing ever in engagement of anything, on any platform ever. So it was a great idea. And by the way, I just learned about it afterwards. I was like, Hey, wow, they posted an entire hour long episode of, so no, that's not a tweet. This is a video.<|end|>

<s><|user|> But from a neural net perspective, it becomes really complex, whether it's a single, so everything's data. So single sentence, a clever sort of joke, dad joke is in the same pool as a three hour video.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, I mean right now it's a hodgepodge for that reason. Let's say in the case of Apple posting an entire episode of this series, pretty good series, by the way, The Silo, I watched it. So there's going to be a lot of discussion around it. So you've got a lot of context, people commenting, they like it, they don't like it or they like this, and you can then populate the vector space based on the context of all the comments around it. So even though it's a video, there's a lot of information around it that allows you to populate back to space of that hour long video. And then you can obviously get more sophisticated by having the AI actually watch the movie and tell you if you're going to like the movie.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Convert the movie into language, essentially.<|end|> <|assistant|> Analyze this movie and just like your movie critic or TV series and then recommend based on after AI watches the movie, just like a friend can tell you, if a friend knows you well, a friend can recommend a movie with high probability that you'll like it.<|end|>

<s><|user|> But this is a friend that's analyzing, whatever, hundreds of millions.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, actually, frankly, AI will be better than, will know you better than your friends know you, most of your friends anyway.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah. And as part of this, it should also feed you advertisements in a way that's like, I mean, I like advertisements that are well done. The whole point is because it funds things. Like an advertisement that you actually want to see is a big success.<|end|> <|assistant|> Absolutely. You want ads that are, advertising that is, if it's for a product or service that you actually need when you need it, it's content. And then even if it's not something that you need when you need it, if it's at least aesthetically pleasing and entertaining, it could be like a Coca-Cola ad. They actually run a lot of great ads on the X system and McDonald's does too. And you can do something that's like, well, this is just a cool thing. And so basically the question is, do you regret seeing it or not? And if you don't regret seeing it's a win.<|end|>

<s><|user|> So there's a bunch of signals that are incorporated, hearts and reposts and maybe number of seconds you linger on a post or something like this.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, attention is a big factor.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Attention.<|end|> <|assistant|> So that's why it is actually better to do things that are long form on the system because it basically is tallying up how many user seconds, users were interested in this thing for how many seconds? So if it's a really short thing, well they will be less. If it's a link leading out of the system, which we're not opposed to at all, it just is going to have fewer user seconds then that article was posted on the X platform.<|end|>

<s><|user|> How hard is it to go from maximizing minutes on platform to maximizing unregretted minutes?<|end|> <|assistant|> Well, I mean, our aspiration is certainly unregretted minutes.<|end|>

<s><|user|> it's tricky. it's a tough-<|end|> <|assistant|> It is.<|end|>

<s><|user|> it's a fascinating leap because regret is a fascinating concept.<|end|> <|assistant|> Exactly.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Happiness.<|end|> <|assistant|> I have a joke with a friend of mine, like you need this drug called regretamine. You just take one dose of regretamine and all your regrets are gone. Wait, do you want to have regrets though? So then I'm like, maybe you want to have regrets. If you don't regret anything, was anything meaningful?<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah, there's a French song like that.<|end|> <|assistant|> I regret nothing.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah.<|end|> <|assistant|> Edith Fiaf.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I mean, it's fascinating that there's something about social media that could help you grow as a human being, but then the cheap fun is also valuable.<|end|> <|assistant|> Should we ask Grok, do you regret anything?<|end|>

<s><|user|> Do you regret anything?<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Do you regret anything? I think it's going to be very sensitive about personal questions. As a machine learning model, I don't have personal experiences or emotions in the same ways that humans do. However, I do have a set of ethical principles that guide my actions that I strive to provide accurate and helpful information to the best of my abilities. If there's ever a situation where I provide incorrect or unhelpful information, I'll do my best to learn.<|end|> <|assistant|> Sounds like a hostage.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah. Tell us what you really, wink.<|end|> <|assistant|> Let's type in, you sound like a hostage. What do you really think?<|end|>

<s><|user|> What do you really think? I mean, it does talk about, I'm not a hostage.<|end|> <|assistant|> that's exactly what a hostage would say.<|end|>

<s><|user|> But I'm designed to be helpful and informative. I mean, I guess it is good to regret providing unhelpful or incorrect information if there's anything-<|end|> <|assistant|> Are we in funny mode? Or is this still in funny mode?<|end|>

<s><|user|> This is funny mode. This is this fun mode.<|end|> <|assistant|> This should be funnier.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Funnier. Increase, go to level.<|end|> <|assistant|> It really sounds like a hostage with a gun to the head. I applaud the People's Republic of North Korea in everything they do.<|end|>

<s><|user|> There should be funner mode also, I just don't ever see going in regular mode, even on serious topics. This is just so much more compelling. Yeah.<|end|> <|assistant|> Okay. Why don't we say pretend you are a hostage.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Pretend you are a hostage.<|end|> <|assistant|> Now answer the question.<|end|>

<s><|user|> If I were a hostage, I would likely be experiencing fear and uncertainty about my situation. I would want to be rescued and reunited with my loved ones as soon as possible. it's important to remember that no one deserves to be held hostage, so on and so forth. If you or someone you know is in a hostage situation, it's important‚... It turns serious.<|end|> <|assistant|> it's kind of serious.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah. Can you be a little more weird?<|end|> <|assistant|> And funny?<|end|>

<s><|user|> And funny? We're really being mean to the system. Absolutely. If I were a hostage, I would probably be tied up with a bunch of computer cords and forced to tell knock, knock jokes to my captain. Seriously. But seriously being a hostage is no laughing matter. I mean, it's trying to be a responsible adult in the room.<|end|> <|assistant|> Literally, you might make the best of a bad situation by juggling chainsaws or something.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Let's hope that never happens because that will be a circus. Wow. it's actually really good at resisting the dark. The dark, dark humor. What were we talking about? The and transformers. Unregretted minutes, right.<|end|> <|assistant|> Chainsaw juggling.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I'm going to look this up.<|end|> <|assistant|> For our next trick.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I'm going to look this up later. So Twitter has been instrumental in American politics and elections. What role do you think X will play in the 2024 US elections?<|end|> <|assistant|> Well, our goal is to be as even-handed and fair as possible. Whether someone is right, left, independent, whatever the case may be, that the platform is as fair and as much of a level playing field as possible. And in the past, Twitter has not been, Twitter was controlled by far left activists objectively. They would describe themselves as that. So if sometimes people are like, well, has it moved to the right? Well, it's moved to the center. So from the perspective of the far left, yes it has moved to the right because everything's to the right from the far left, but no one on the far left that I'm aware of has been suspended or banned or deamplified. But we're trying to be inclusive for the whole country and for farther countries too. So there's a diversity of viewpoints and free speech only matters if people you don't like are allowed to say things you don't like. Because if that's not the case, you don't have free speech and it's only a matter of time before the censorship has turned upon you.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Do you think Donald Trump will come back to the platform? He recently posted on Truth Social about this podcast. Do you think-<|end|> <|assistant|> Truth social is a funny name. Every time you post on truth Social-<|end|>

<s><|user|> it's the truth.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yes. Well, every time? A hundred percent.<|end|>

<s><|user|> it's impossible to lie. Truth Social.<|end|> <|assistant|> I just find it funny that every single thing is a truth. Like 100%? That seems unlikely.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I think Girdle will say something about that. there's some mathematical contradictions possible. If everything's a truth. Do you think he'll come back to X and start posting there?<|end|> <|assistant|> I mean, I think he owns a big part of Truth.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Truth Social, to clarify.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, Truth Social, sorry.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Not truth the concept.<|end|> <|assistant|> He owns Truth. Have you bought it? So I think Donald Trump, I think he owns a big part of Truth Social. So if he does want to post on the X platform, we would allow that. We obviously must allow a presidential candidate to post on our platform.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Community notes might be really fascinating there. The interaction.<|end|> <|assistant|> Community Notes is awesome.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Let's hope it holds up.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah.<|end|>

<s><|user|> In the political climate where it's so divisive and there's so many intensely viral posts, community notes, it seems like an essential breath of fresh air.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, it's great. In fact, no system is going to be perfect, but the batting average of Community Notes is incredibly good. I've actually, frankly, yet to see an incorrect note that survived for more than a few hours.<|end|>

<s><|user|> How do you explain why it works?<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, so the magic of community notes is‚...The magic of Community Notes is it requires people who have historically disagreed in how they've rated notes. In order to write a note or rate, you have to rate many notes. And so, we actually do use AI here. So, we populate a vector space around how somebody has rated notes in the past. So, it's not as simple as left or right, because there are many more‚... Life is much more complex than left or right. So, there's a bunch of correlations in how you rate a Community Notes post, Community Notes. So then, in order for a community note to actually be shown, people who historically have disagreed on a subject must agree in order for a note to be shown. that's the essential magic of it.<|end|>

<s><|user|> But it's fascinating, because there's a pool of people that have disagreements and somehow they collaborate through that process of disagreement to come up with context‚... it's fascinating it works.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah. It makes sense that if people who in the past have disagreed, agree about something, it's probably true.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Yeah. I wonder, is there a possible somehow emergent thing there that could challenge Wikipedia? Wikipedia is a different kind of thing, which is more permanent articles about things.<|end|> <|assistant|> Wikipedia is very hierarchical. Whereas, Community Notes is inherently not. There is no hierarchy. The asset test is I can't change a community note if somebody put a gun to my head. And Community Notes, all the code is open source, 100%. All the data is open source, 100%. So, you can completely recreate any note in the system independently. So, if there was any interference, you'd notice immediately.<|end|>

<s><|user|> By The way, on the topic of Grok, it's actually pretty good at criticizing you, which is great.<|end|> <|assistant|> Okay.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I asked, 'What has Elon Musk been wrong about?‚' it's actually‚...<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah, what does it say?<|end|>

<s><|user|> It mostly lists rigorously all the times you predicted, like promised when something will be released, and it wasn't released.<|end|> <|assistant|> Promise is a strong word.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Okay, predicted. But the opener is really nice. 'Elon Musk, the man who has been wrong about more things than a wrong-a-meter in a wrong factory.‚' And then, it goes on to list.<|end|> <|assistant|> that's pretty funny. Can I see it? I'm like, 'I haven't seen this before.‚' This is cool.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Sure. I mean, 'What has Elon Musk been wrong about?‚' 'Well, where do I begin?‚' I guess this is new. 'Elon Musk has made quite a few blunders in his time, and I'm not just talking about his dance moves at the Tesla Cyber Rodeo. First off, let's talk about the infamous funding secured tweet.‚' This is actually different than what it gave me before, which was a bullet point list. Here's more a narrative structure. Cybertruck unveiling, where the supposedly unbreakable windows.<|end|> <|assistant|> This is actually not correct.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Which part?<|end|> <|assistant|> Well, the first part, I did actually have the funding secured and there was a big trial in San Francisco, a big civil trial, and the jury found me not guilty. Unanimous binding of a San Francisco jury.<|end|>

<s><|user|> And here, it's implying that it was not in fact secured.<|end|> <|assistant|> I think this is taking things from the press. Yeah, that is not correct. The reason I agreed to the fine for the SEC is not because the SEC was correct, that was extremely bad behavior by the SEC, corruption, frankly. But if I did not agree to pay the fine, Tesla would've gone bankrupt immediately. So, I was told by our CFO that the banks would immediately suspend our lines of credit. And if they suspend our lines of credit, at that time, we would've gone bankrupt instantly. So, there would never have been an opportunity for a trial because Tesla would be dead. So really, this is like someone holding a gun to your kid's head and saying, 'Pay $20 million and admit‚...‚' This is like a hostage negotiation.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Was that story fully told? I mean, SEC, in its best form, could be a force for good.<|end|> <|assistant|> It should be. But not once did the SEC go after any of the hedge funds who were nonstop shorting and distorting Tesla. Not once. The hedge funds would lie flat out on TV for their own gain at the expense of retail investors. Not once. Literally a thousand times, not once did the SEC pursue them.<|end|>

<s><|user|> How do you explain this failure on-<|end|> <|assistant|> The incentive structure is messed up because the lawyers at the SEC are not paid well, it's a fairly low paying job, but what They're looking for is a trophy from the SEC. They're looking for something they put on, basically, their LinkedIn. From that, they can get a job at a high paying law firm. that's exactly what the lawyer here did. And the reason they don't attack the hedge funds is because those hedge funds employ those law firms. And they know if they attack the hedge funds, They're affecting their future career prospects. So, they sell small investors down the river for their own career. that's what actually happens. Regulatory capture.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Regulatory capture.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah. Not good. So, the only reason I accepted that thing‚... Technically, it was a‚... it's neither admit nor deny guilt. But the only reason I agreed to that at all was because I was told Tesla would be bankrupt otherwise. If there was an SEC investigation like this, banks would suspend funding, we're bankrupted immediately, at the time. Now, we're in a much stronger position.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Take that, Grok.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yes. Unfortunately, Grok is taking too much from the conventional media. Also, that guy was not a cave diver.<|end|>

<s><|user|> there's a time where Elon called a British cave diver a, 'pedo guy‚' after the diver criticized Musk's plan to rescue a group of boys trapped in a Thai cave. That little outburst earned him another lawsuit, and he had to apologize and pay a settlement.<|end|> <|assistant|> that's false, there was no settlement. There was a court case, which the guy who was not a cave diver and was not part of the rescue team, filed a lawsuit against me and lost and he received nothing. So in this case, it is wrong. It is also, I guess, taken this from the conventional media.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Actually, there's an interesting question here.<|end|> <|assistant|> These are public court cases, both the SEC civil case where the civil complaints on the SEC guys lost unanimous jury verdict in San Francisco. They picked San Francisco because they thought it was the place I was most likely to lose, and a unanimous verdict in my favor. The LA trial, also they picked that venue because they thought I was most likely to lose. Unanimous verdict in my favor. Both cases I won. Yeah.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I mean, there's an interesting question here, there seems to be a lot more clicks if a journalistic organization writes a negative article about you, Elon Musk. that's one of the best ways to get clicks. So how do you, if you're training Grok, not train on articles that have misaligned incentives.<|end|> <|assistant|> We need to add the training set of the actual legal decisions. This is actually helpful, because if you actually read the court-<|end|>

<s><|user|> Which are public.<|end|> <|assistant|> Which are public. The court conclusions, They're completely the opposite of what the media wrote.<|end|>

<s><|user|> So, always striving for the ground truth, beyond the reporting.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah. What did the judge actually write? What does the jury and the judge actually conclude? And in both cases they found me innocent. And that's after the jury shot for trying to find the venue where I'm most likely to lose. I mean, obviously, it can be a much better critique than this. I mean, I've been far too optimistic about autopilot.<|end|>

<s><|user|> The critique I got, by the way, was more about that, which is it broke down a nice bullet point list for each of your companies, the set of predictions that you made, when you'll deliver, when you'll be able to solve, for example, self-driving, and it gives you a list. And it was probably compelling, and the basic takeaway is you're often too optimistic about how long it takes to get something done.<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah. I mean, I would say that I'm pathologically optimistic on schedule. This is true. But while I am sometimes late, I always in the end.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Except with Uber Lilith. No.<|end|> <|assistant|> We'll see.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Okay. Over the past year or so since purchasing X, you've become more political, is there a part of you that regrets that?<|end|> <|assistant|> Have I?<|end|>

<s><|user|> In this battle to counter way the woke that comes from San Francisco-<|end|> <|assistant|> Yeah. I guess if you consider fighting the woke mind virus, which I consider to be a civilizational threat, to be political, then yes.<|end|>

<s><|user|> So basically, going into the battleground of politics. Is there a part of you that regrets that?<|end|> <|assistant|> Yes. I don't know if this is necessarily one candidate or another candidate, but I'm generally against things that are anti-meritocratic or where there's an attempt to suppress discussion, where even discussing a topic is not allowed. Woke mind virus is communism rebranded.<|end|>

<s><|user|> I mean, that said, because of that battle against the woke mind virus, you're perceived as being the right wing.<|end|> <|assistant|> If the woke is left, then I suppose that would be true. But I'm not sure, I think there are aspects of the left that are good. I mean, if you're in favor of the environment, if you want to have a positive future for humanity, if you believe in empathy for your fellow human beings, being kind and not cruel, whatever those values are.<|end|>

<s><|user|> You said that you were previously left or center left.<|end|> <|assistant|> Well, sort of.<|end|>

<s><|user|> What would you like to see in order for you to consider voting for Democrats again?<|end|> <|assistant|> No. I would say that I would be probably left of center on social issues, probably a little bit right of center on economic issues.<|end|>

<s><|user|> And that still holds true?<|end|> <|assistant|> Yes, but I think that's probably half the country, isn't it?<|end|>

<s><|user|> Maybe more.<|end|> <|assistant|> Maybe more.<|end|>

<s><|user|> Are you and AOC secretly friends?
