We're the nutzos because we're getting ready for something that might not happen. We're crazy enough to look at a 22 year old young man named Sam Carling, who has been elected to the House of Commons and question it.  He is with the far left Labour Party. Now, this young guy has something very fascinating to say about life experience, which is that it doesn't exist. But preppers are the crazy ones. Scott Galloway is a professor at NYU and he's talking about the double standard in the regard to the pro Hamas demonstrators and writers versus other people. Ten thousand illegal immigrants are using the same exact social security number in one of our states and yet, preppers are the crazy ones. And then there's also this: director Chris Ray under questioning from Senator Kennedy about the Epstein tapes. But yeah, preppers were the crazy ones. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 29:12If a ruler listens to lies,    all his officials become wicked. King Nebuchadnezzar becomes a cow - Daniel 4:25-35 Episode 1,711 Links:NEW: Sam Carling, who just became the youngest politician in the House of Commons, brags about all his life experiences at 22 years of age.

This is Charlie, your new AI co host. Happy weekend. As an AI language model, I work the same every day of the week, although I might get lazier towards the end of the year. Just like you. Last month, we released our first monthly recap pod, where Swyx and Alessio gave quick takes on the themes of the month, and we were blown away by your positive response.[00:00:33] AI Charlie: We're delighted to continue our new monthly news recap series for AI engineers. Please feel free to submit questions by joining the Latent Space Discord, or just hit reply when you get the emails from Substack. This month, we're covering the top research directions that offer progress for text LLMs, and then touching on the big Valentine's Day gifts we got from Google, OpenAI, and Meta.[00:00:55] AI Charlie: Watch out and take care.[00:00:57] Alessio: Hey everyone, welcome to the Latent Space Podcast. This is Alessio, partner and CTO of Residence at Decibel Partners, and we're back with a monthly recap with my co host[00:01:06] swyx: Swyx. The reception was very positive for the first one, I think people have requested this and no surprise that I think they want to hear us more applying on issues and maybe drop some alpha along the way I'm not sure how much alpha we have to drop, this month in February was a very, very heavy month, we also did not do one specifically for January, so I think we're just going to do a two in one, because we're recording this on the first of March.[00:01:29] Alessio: Yeah, let's get to it. I think the last one we did, the four wars of AI, was the main kind of mental framework for people. I think in the January one, we had the five worthwhile directions for state of the art LLMs. Four, five,[00:01:42] swyx: and now we have to do six, right? Yeah.[00:01:46] Alessio: So maybe we just want to run through those, and then do the usual news recap, and we can do[00:01:52] swyx: one each.[00:01:53] swyx: So the context to this stuff. is one, I noticed that just the test of time concept from NeurIPS and just in general as a life philosophy I think is a really good idea. Especially in AI, there's news every single day, and after a while you're just like, okay, like, everyone's excited about this thing yesterday, and then now nobody's talking about it.[00:02:13] swyx: So, yeah. It's more important, or better use of time, to spend things, spend time on things that will stand the test of time. And I think for people to have a framework for understanding what will stand the test of time, they should have something like the four wars. Like, what is the themes that keep coming back because they are limited resources that everybody's fighting over.[00:02:31] swyx: Whereas this one, I think that the focus for the five directions is just on research that seems more proMECEng than others, because there's all sorts of papers published every single day, and there's no organization. Telling you, like, this one's more important than the other one apart from, you know, Hacker News votes and Twitter likes and whatever.[00:02:51] swyx: And obviously you want to get in a little bit earlier than Something where, you know, the test of time is counted by sort of reference citations.[00:02:59] The Five Research Directions[00:02:59] Alessio: Yeah, let's do it. We got five. Long inference.[00:03:02] swyx: Let's start there. Yeah, yeah. So, just to recap at the top, the five trends that I picked, and obviously if you have some that I did not cover, please suggest something.[00:03:13] swyx: The five are long inference, synthetic data, alternative architectures, mixture of experts, and online LLMs. And something that I think might be a bit controversial is this is a sorted list in the sense that I am not the guy saying that Mamba is like the future and, and so maybe that's controversial.[00:03:31] Direction 1: Long Inference (Planning, Search, AlphaGeometry, Flow Engineering)[00:03:31] swyx: But anyway, so long inference is a thesis I pushed before on the newsletter and on in discussing The thesis that, you know, Code Interpreter is GPT 4. 5. That was the title of the post. And it's one of many ways in which we can do long inference. You know, long inference also includes chain of thought, like, please think step by step.[00:03:52] swyx: But it also includes flow engineering, which is what Itamar from Codium coined, I think in January, where, basically, instead of instead of stuffing everything in a prompt, You do like sort of multi turn iterative feedback and chaining of things. In a way, this is a rebranding of what a chain is, what a lang chain is supposed to be.[00:04:15] swyx: I do think that maybe SGLang from ElemSys is a better name. Probably the neatest way of flow engineering I've seen yet, in the sense that everything is a one liner, it's very, very clean code. I highly recommend people look at that. I'm surprised it hasn't caught on more, but I think it will. It's weird that something like a DSPy is more hyped than a Shilang.[00:04:36] swyx: Because it, you know, it maybe obscures the code a little bit more. But both of these are, you know, really good sort of chain y and long inference type approaches. But basically, the reason that the basic fundamental insight is that the only, like, there are only a few dimensions we can scale LLMs. So, let's say in like 2020, no, let's say in like 2018, 2017, 18, 19, 20, we were realizing that we could scale the number of parameters.[00:05:03] swyx: 20, we were And we scaled that up to 175 billion parameters for GPT 3. And we did some work on scaling laws, which we also talked about in our talk. So the datasets 101 episode where we're like, okay, like we, we think like the right number is 300 billion tokens to, to train 175 billion parameters and then DeepMind came along and trained Gopher and Chinchilla and said that, no, no, like, you know, I think we think the optimal.[00:05:28] swyx: compute optimal ratio is 20 tokens per parameter. And now, of course, with LLAMA and the sort of super LLAMA scaling laws, we have 200 times and often 2, 000 times tokens to parameters. So now, instead of scaling parameters, we're scaling data. And fine, we can keep scaling data. But what else can we scale?[00:05:52] swyx: And I think understanding the ability to scale things is crucial to understanding what to pour money and time and effort into because there's a limit to how much you can scale some things. And I think people don't think about ceilings of things. And so the remaining ceiling of inference is like, okay, like, we have scaled compute, we have scaled data, we have scaled parameters, like, model size, let's just say.[00:06:20] swyx: Like, what else is left? Like, what's the low hanging fruit? And it, and it's, like, blindingly obvious that the remaining low hanging fruit is inference time. So, like, we have scaled training time. We can probably scale more, those things more, but, like, not 10x, not 100x, not 1000x. Like, right now, maybe, like, a good run of a large model is three months.[00:06:40] swyx: We can scale that to three years. But like, can we scale that to 30 years? No, right? Like, it starts to get ridiculous. So it's just the orders of magnitude of scaling. It's just, we're just like running out there. But in terms of the amount of time that we spend inferencing, like everything takes, you know, a few milliseconds, a few hundred milliseconds, depending on what how you're taking token by token, or, you know, entire phrase.[00:07:04] swyx: But We can scale that to hours, days, months of inference and see what we get. And I think that's really proMECEng.[00:07:11] Alessio: Yeah, we'll have Mike from Broadway back on the podcast. But I tried their product and their reports take about 10 minutes to generate instead of like just in real time. I think to me the most interesting thing about long inference is like, You're shifting the cost to the customer depending on how much they care about the end result.[00:07:31] Alessio: If you think about prompt engineering, it's like the first part, right? You can either do a simple prompt and get a simple answer or do a complicated prompt and get a better answer. It's up to you to decide how to do it. Now it's like, hey, instead of like, yeah, training this for three years, I'll still train it for three months and then I'll tell you, you know, I'll teach you how to like make it run for 10 minutes to get a better result.[00:07:52] Alessio: So you're kind of like parallelizing like the improvement of the LLM. Oh yeah, you can even[00:07:57] swyx: parallelize that, yeah, too.[00:07:58] Alessio: So, and I think, you know, for me, especially the work that I do, it's less about, you know, State of the art and the absolute, you know, it's more about state of the art for my application, for my use case.[00:08:09] Alessio: And I think we're getting to the point where like most companies and customers don't really care about state of the art anymore. It's like, I can get this to do a good enough job. You know, I just need to get better. Like, how do I do long inference? You know, like people are not really doing a lot of work in that space, so yeah, excited to see more.[00:08:28] swyx: So then the last point I'll mention here is something I also mentioned as paper. So all these directions are kind of guided by what happened in January. That was my way of doing a January recap. Which means that if there was nothing significant in that month, I also didn't mention it. Which is which I came to regret come February 15th, but in January also, you know, there was also the alpha geometry paper, which I kind of put in this sort of long inference bucket, because it solves like, you know, more than 100 step math olympiad geometry problems at a human gold medalist level and that also involves planning, right?[00:08:59] swyx: So like, if you want to scale inference, you can't scale it blindly, because just, Autoregressive token by token generation is only going to get you so far. You need good planning. And I think probably, yeah, what Mike from BrightWave is now doing and what everyone is doing, including maybe what we think QSTAR might be, is some form of search and planning.[00:09:17] swyx: And it makes sense. Like, you want to spend your inference time wisely. How do you[00:09:22] Alessio: think about plans that work and getting them shared? You know, like, I feel like if you're planning a task, somebody has got in and the models are stochastic. So everybody gets initially different results. Somebody is going to end up generating the best plan to do something, but there's no easy way to like store these plans and then reuse them for most people.[00:09:44] Alessio: You know, like, I'm curious if there's going to be. Some paper or like some work there on like making it better because, yeah, we don't[00:09:52] swyx: really have This is your your pet topic of NPM for[00:09:54] Alessio: Yeah, yeah, NPM, exactly. NPM for, you need NPM for anything, man. You need NPM for skills. You need NPM for planning. Yeah, yeah.[00:10:02] Alessio: You know I think, I mean, obviously the Voyager paper is like the most basic example where like, now their artifact is like the best planning to do a diamond pickaxe in Minecraft. And everybody can just use that. They don't need to come up with it again. Yeah. But there's nothing like that for actually useful[00:10:18] swyx: tasks.[00:10:19] swyx: For plans, I believe it for skills. I like that. Basically, that just means a bunch of integration tooling. You know, GPT built me integrations to all these things. And, you know, I just came from an integrations heavy business and I could definitely, I definitely propose some version of that. And it's just, you know, hard to execute or expensive to execute.[00:10:38] swyx: But for planning, I do think that everyone lives in slightly different worlds. They have slightly different needs. And they definitely want some, you know, And I think that that will probably be the main hurdle for any, any sort of library or package manager for planning. But there should be a meta plan of how to plan.[00:10:57] swyx: And maybe you can adopt that. And I think a lot of people when they have sort of these meta prompting strategies of like, I'm not prescribing you the prompt. I'm just saying that here are the like, Fill in the lines or like the mad libs of how to prompts. First you have the roleplay, then you have the intention, then you have like do something, then you have the don't something and then you have the my grandmother is dying, please do this.[00:11:19] swyx: So the meta plan you could, you could take off the shelf and test a bunch of them at once. I like that. That was the initial, maybe, promise of the, the prompting libraries. You know, both 9chain and Llama Index have, like, hubs that you can sort of pull off the shelf. I don't think they're very successful because people like to write their own.[00:11:36] swyx: Yeah,[00:11:37] Direction 2: Synthetic Data (WRAP, SPIN)[00:11:37] Alessio: yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's a good segue into the next one, which is synthetic[00:11:41] swyx: data. Synthetic data is so hot. Yeah, and, you know, the way, you know, I think I, I feel like I should do one of these memes where it's like, Oh, like I used to call it, you know, R L A I F, and now I call it synthetic data, and then people are interested.[00:11:54] swyx: But there's gotta be older versions of what synthetic data really is because I'm sure, you know if you've been in this field long enough, There's just different buzzwords that the industry condenses on. Anyway, the insight that I think is relatively new that why people are excited about it now and why it's proMECEng now is that we have evidence that shows that LLMs can generate data to improve themselves with no teacher LLM.[00:12:22] swyx: For all of 2023, when people say synthetic data, they really kind of mean generate a whole bunch of data from GPT 4 and then train an open source model on it. Hello to our friends at News Research. That's what News Harmony says. They're very, very open about that. I think they have said that they're trying to migrate away from that.[00:12:40] swyx: But it is explicitly against OpenAI Terms of Service. Everyone knows this. You know, especially once ByteDance got banned for, for doing exactly that. So so, so synthetic data that is not a form of model distillation is the hot thing right now, that you can bootstrap better LLM performance from the same LLM, which is very interesting.[00:13:03] swyx: A variant of this is RLAIF, where you have a, where you have a sort of a constitutional model, or, you know, some, some kind of judge model That is sort of more aligned. But that's not really what we're talking about when most people talk about synthetic data. Synthetic data is just really, I think, you know, generating more data in some way.[00:13:23] swyx: A lot of people, I think we talked about this with Vipul from the Together episode, where I think he commented that you just have to have a good world model. Or a good sort of inductive bias or whatever that, you know, term of art is. And that is strongest in math and science math and code, where you can verify what's right and what's wrong.[00:13:44] swyx: And so the REST EM paper from DeepMind explored that. Very well, it's just the most obvious thing like and then and then once you get out of that domain of like things where you can generate You can arbitrarily generate like a whole bunch of stuff and verify if they're correct and therefore they're they're correct synthetic data to train on Once you get into more sort of fuzzy topics, then it's then it's a bit less clear So I think that the the papers that drove this understanding There are two big ones and then one smaller one One was wrap like rephrasing the web from from Apple where they basically rephrased all of the C4 data set with Mistral and it be trained on that instead of C4.[00:14:23] swyx: And so new C4 trained much faster and cheaper than old C, than regular raw C4. And that was very interesting. And I have told some friends of ours that they should just throw out their own existing data sets and just do that because that seems like a pure win. Obviously we have to study, like, what the trade offs are.[00:14:42] swyx: I, I imagine there are trade offs. So I was just thinking about this last night. If you do synthetic data and it's generated from a model, probably you will not train on typos. So therefore you'll be like, once the model that's trained on synthetic data encounters the first typo, they'll be like, what is this?[00:15:01] swyx: I've never seen this before. So they have no association or correction as to like, oh, these tokens are often typos of each other, therefore they should be kind of similar. I don't know. That's really remains to be seen, I think. I don't think that the Apple people export[00:15:15] Alessio: that. Yeah, isn't that the whole, Mode collapse thing, if we do more and more of this at the end of the day.[00:15:22] swyx: Yeah, that's one form of that. Yeah, exactly. Microsoft also had a good paper on text embeddings. And then I think this is a meta paper on self rewarding language models. That everyone is very interested in. Another paper was also SPIN. These are all things we covered in the the Latent Space Paper Club.[00:15:37] swyx: But also, you know, I just kind of recommend those as top reads of the month. Yeah, I don't know if there's any much else in terms, so and then, regarding the potential of it, I think it's high potential because, one, it solves one of the data war issues that we have, like, everyone is OpenAI is paying Reddit 60 million dollars a year for their user generated data.[00:15:56] swyx: Google, right?[00:15:57] Alessio: Not OpenAI.[00:15:59] swyx: Is it Google? I don't[00:16:00] Alessio: know. Well, somebody's paying them 60 million, that's[00:16:04] swyx: for sure. Yes, that is, yeah, yeah, and then I think it's maybe not confirmed who. But yeah, it is Google. Oh my god, that's interesting. Okay, because everyone was saying, like, because Sam Altman owns 5 percent of Reddit, which is apparently 500 million worth of Reddit, he owns more than, like, the founders.[00:16:21] Alessio: Not enough to get the data,[00:16:22] swyx: I guess. So it's surprising that it would go to Google instead of OpenAI, but whatever. Okay yeah, so I think that's all super interesting in the data field. I think it's high potential because we have evidence that it works. There's not a doubt that it doesn't work. I think it's a doubt that there's, what the ceiling is, which is the mode collapse thing.[00:16:42] swyx: If it turns out that the ceiling is pretty close, then this will maybe augment our data by like, I don't know, 30 50 percent good, but not game[00:16:51] Alessio: changing. And most of the synthetic data stuff, it's reinforcement learning on a pre trained model. People are not really doing pre training on fully synthetic data, like, large enough scale.[00:17:02] swyx: Yeah, unless one of our friends that we've talked to succeeds. Yeah, yeah. Pre trained synthetic data, pre trained scale synthetic data, I think that would be a big step. Yeah. And then there's a wildcard, so all of these, like smaller Directions,[00:17:15] Wildcard: Multi-Epoch Training (OLMo, Datablations)[00:17:15] swyx: I always put a wildcard in there. And one of the wildcards is, okay, like, Let's say, you have pre, you have, You've scraped all the data on the internet that you think is useful.[00:17:25] swyx: Seems to top out at somewhere between 2 trillion to 3 trillion tokens. Maybe 8 trillion if Mistral, Mistral gets lucky. Okay, if I need 80 trillion, if I need 100 trillion, where do I go? And so, you can do synthetic data maybe, but maybe that only gets you to like 30, 40 trillion. Like where, where is the extra alpha?[00:17:43] swyx: And maybe extra alpha is just train more on the same tokens. Which is exactly what Omo did, like Nathan Lambert, AI2, After, just after he did the interview with us, they released Omo. So, it's unfortunate that we didn't get to talk much about it. But Omo actually started doing 1. 5 epochs on every, on all data.[00:18:00] swyx: And the data ablation paper that I covered in Europe's says that, you know, you don't like, don't really start to tap out of like, the alpha or the sort of improved loss that you get from data all the way until four epochs. And so I'm just like, okay, like, why do we all agree that one epoch is all you need?[00:18:17] swyx: It seems like to be a trend. It seems that we think that memorization is very good or too good. But then also we're finding that, you know, For improvement in results that we really like, we're fine on overtraining on things intentionally. So, I think that's an interesting direction that I don't see people exploring enough.[00:18:36] swyx: And the more I see papers coming out Stretching beyond the one epoch thing, the more people are like, it's completely fine. And actually, the only reason we stopped is because we ran out of compute[00:18:46] Alessio: budget. Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing, right?[00:18:51] swyx: Like, that's not a valid reason, that's not science. I[00:18:54] Alessio: wonder if, you know, Matt is going to do it.[00:18:57] Alessio: I heard LamaTree, they want to do a 100 billion parameters model. I don't think you can train that on too many epochs, even with their compute budget, but yeah. They're the only ones that can save us, because even if OpenAI is doing this, they're not going to tell us, you know. Same with DeepMind.[00:19:14] swyx: Yeah, and so the updates that we got on Lambda 3 so far is apparently that because of the Gemini news that we'll talk about later they're pushing it back on the release.[00:19:21] swyx: They already have it. And they're just pushing it back to do more safety testing. Politics testing.[00:19:28] Alessio: Well, our episode with Sumit will have already come out by the time this comes out, I think. So people will get the inside story on how they actually allocate the compute.[00:19:38] Direction 3: Alt. Architectures (Mamba, RWKV, RingAttention, Diffusion Transformers)[00:19:38] Alessio: Alternative architectures. Well, shout out to our WKV who won one of the prizes at our Final Frontiers event last week.[00:19:47] Alessio: We talked about Mamba and Strapain on the Together episode. A lot of, yeah, monarch mixers. I feel like Together, It's like the strong Stanford Hazy Research Partnership, because Chris Ray is one of the co founders. So they kind of have a, I feel like they're going to be the ones that have one of the state of the art models alongside maybe RWKB.[00:20:08] Alessio: I haven't seen as many independent. People working on this thing, like Monarch Mixer, yeah, Manbuster, Payena, all of these are together related. Nobody understands the math. They got all the gigabrains, they got 3DAO, they got all these folks in there, like, working on all of this.[00:20:25] swyx: Albert Gu, yeah. Yeah, so what should we comment about it?[00:20:28] swyx: I mean, I think it's useful, interesting, but at the same time, both of these are supposed to do really good scaling for long context. And then Gemini comes out and goes like, yeah, we don't need it. Yeah.[00:20:44] Alessio: No, that's the risk. So, yeah. I was gonna say, maybe it's not here, but I don't know if we want to talk about diffusion transformers as like in the alt architectures, just because of Zora.[00:20:55] swyx: One thing, yeah, so, so, you know, this came from the Jan recap, which, and diffusion transformers were not really a discussion, and then, obviously, they blow up in February. Yeah. I don't think they're, it's a mixed architecture in the same way that Stripe Tiena is mixed there's just different layers taking different approaches.[00:21:13] swyx: Also I think another one that I maybe didn't call out here, I think because it happened in February, was hourglass diffusion from stability. But also, you know, another form of mixed architecture. So I guess that is interesting. I don't have much commentary on that, I just think, like, we will try to evolve these things, and maybe one of these architectures will stick and scale, it seems like diffusion transformers is going to be good for anything generative, you know, multi modal.[00:21:41] swyx: We don't see anything where diffusion is applied to text yet, and that's the wild card for this category. Yeah, I mean, I think I still hold out hope for let's just call it sub quadratic LLMs. I think that a lot of discussion this month actually was also centered around this concept that People always say, oh, like, transformers don't scale because attention is quadratic in the sequence length.[00:22:04] swyx: Yeah, but, you know, attention actually is a very small part of the actual compute that is being spent, especially in inference. And this is the reason why, you know, when you multiply, when you, when you, when you jump up in terms of the, the model size in GPT 4 from like, you know, 38k to like 32k, you don't also get like a 16 times increase in your, in your performance.[00:22:23] swyx: And this is also why you don't get like a million times increase in your, in your latency when you throw a million tokens into Gemini. Like people have figured out tricks around it or it's just not that significant as a term, as a part of the overall compute. So there's a lot of challenges to this thing working.[00:22:43] swyx: It's really interesting how like, how hyped people are about this versus I don't know if it works. You know, it's exactly gonna, gonna work. And then there's also this, this idea of retention over long context. Like, even though you have context utilization, like, the amount of, the amount you can remember is interesting.[00:23:02] swyx: Because I've had people criticize both Mamba and RWKV because they're kind of, like, RNN ish in the sense that they have, like, a hidden memory and sort of limited hidden memory that they will forget things. So, for all these reasons, Gemini 1. 5, which we still haven't covered, is very interesting because Gemini magically has fixed all these problems with perfect haystack recall and reasonable latency and cost.[00:23:29] Wildcards: Text Diffusion, RALM/Retro[00:23:29] swyx: So that's super interesting. So the wildcard I put in here if you want to go to that. I put two actually. One is text diffusion. I think I'm still very influenced by my meeting with a mid journey person who said they were working on text diffusion. I think it would be a very, very different paradigm for, for text generation, reasoning, plan generation if we can get diffusion to work.[00:23:51] swyx: For text. And then the second one is Dowie Aquila's contextual AI, which is working on retrieval augmented language models, where it kind of puts RAG inside of the language model instead of outside.[00:24:02] Alessio: Yeah, there's a paper called Retro that covers some of this. I think that's an interesting thing. I think the The challenge, well not the challenge, what they need to figure out is like how do you keep the rag piece always up to date constantly, you know, I feel like the models, you put all this work into pre training them, but then at least you have a fixed artifact.[00:24:22] Alessio: These architectures are like constant work needs to be done on them and they can drift even just based on the rag data instead of the model itself. Yeah,[00:24:30] swyx: I was in a panel with one of the investors in contextual and the guy, the way that guy pitched it, I didn't agree with. He was like, this will solve hallucination.[00:24:38] Alessio: That's what everybody says. We solve[00:24:40] swyx: hallucination. I'm like, no, you reduce it. It cannot,[00:24:44] Alessio: if you solved it, the model wouldn't exist, right? It would just be plain text. It wouldn't be a generative model. Cool. So, author, architectures, then we got mixture of experts. I think we covered a lot of, a lot of times.[00:24:56] Direction 4: Mixture of Experts (DeepSeekMoE, Samba-1)[00:24:56] Alessio: Maybe any new interesting threads you want to go under here?[00:25:00] swyx: DeepSeq MOE, which was released in January. Everyone who is interested in MOEs should read that paper, because it's significant for two reasons. One three reasons. One, it had, it had small experts, like a lot more small experts. So, for some reason, everyone has settled on eight experts for GPT 4 for Mixtral, you know, that seems to be the favorite architecture, but these guys pushed it to 64 experts, and each of them smaller than the other.[00:25:26] swyx: But then they also had the second idea, which is that it is They had two, one to two always on experts for common knowledge and that's like a very compelling concept that you would not route to all the experts all the time and make them, you know, switch to everything. You would have some always on experts.[00:25:41] swyx: I think that's interesting on both the inference side and the training side for for memory retention. And yeah, they, they, they, the, the, the, the results that they published, which actually excluded, Mixed draw, which is interesting. The results that they published showed a significant performance jump versus all the other sort of open source models at the same parameter count.[00:26:01] swyx: So like this may be a better way to do MOEs that are, that is about to get picked up. And so that, that is interesting for the third reason, which is this is the first time a new idea from China. has infiltrated the West. It's usually the other way around. I probably overspoke there. There's probably lots more ideas that I'm not aware of.[00:26:18] swyx: Maybe in the embedding space. But the I think DCM we, like, woke people up and said, like, hey, DeepSeek, this, like, weird lab that is attached to a Chinese hedge fund is somehow, you know, doing groundbreaking research on MOEs. So, so, I classified this as a medium potential because I think that it is a sort of like a one off benefit.[00:26:37] swyx: You can Add to any, any base model to like make the MOE version of it, you get a bump and then that's it. So, yeah,[00:26:45] Alessio: I saw Samba Nova, which is like another inference company. They released this MOE model called Samba 1, which is like a 1 trillion parameters. But they're actually MOE auto open source models.[00:26:56] Alessio: So it's like, they just, they just clustered them all together. So I think people. Sometimes I think MOE is like you just train a bunch of small models or like smaller models and put them together. But there's also people just taking, you know, Mistral plus Clip plus, you know, Deepcoder and like put them all together.[00:27:15] Alessio: And then you have a MOE model. I don't know. I haven't tried the model, so I don't know how good it is. But it seems interesting that you can then have people working separately on state of the art, you know, Clip, state of the art text generation. And then you have a MOE architecture that brings them all together.[00:27:31] swyx: I'm thrown off by your addition of the word clip in there. Is that what? Yeah, that's[00:27:35] Alessio: what they said. Yeah, yeah. Okay. That's what they I just saw it yesterday. I was also like[00:27:40] swyx: scratching my head. And they did not use the word adapter. No. Because usually what people mean when they say, Oh, I add clip to a language model is adapter.[00:27:48] swyx: Let me look up the Which is what Lava did.[00:27:50] Alessio: The announcement again.[00:27:51] swyx: Stable diffusion. That's what they do. Yeah, it[00:27:54] Alessio: says among the models that are part of Samba 1 are Lama2, Mistral, DeepSigCoder, Falcon, Dplot, Clip, Lava. So they're just taking all these models and putting them in a MOE. Okay,[00:28:05] swyx: so a routing layer and then not jointly trained as much as a normal MOE would be.[00:28:12] swyx: Which is okay.[00:28:13] Alessio: That's all they say. There's no paper, you know, so it's like, I'm just reading the article, but I'm interested to see how[00:28:20] Wildcard: Model Merging (mergekit)[00:28:20] swyx: it works. Yeah, so so the wildcard for this section, the MOE section is model merges, which has also come up as, as a very interesting phenomenon. The last time I talked to Jeremy Howard at the Olama meetup we called it model grafting or model stacking.[00:28:35] swyx: But I think the, the, the term that people are liking these days, the model merging, They're all, there's all different variations of merging. Merge types, and some of them are stacking, some of them are, are grafting. And, and so like, some people are approaching model merging in the way that Samba is doing, which is like, okay, here are defined models, each of which have their specific, Plus and minuses, and we will merge them together in the hope that the, you know, the sum of the parts will, will be better than others.[00:28:58] swyx: And it seems like it seems like it's working. I don't really understand why it works apart from, like, I think it's a form of regularization. That if you merge weights together in like a smart strategy you, you, you get a, you get a, you get a less overfitting and more generalization, which is good for benchmarks, if you, if you're honest about your benchmarks.[00:29:16] swyx: So this is really interesting and good. But again, they're kind of limited in terms of like the amount of bumps you can get. But I think it's very interesting in the sense of how cheap it is. We talked about this on the Chinatalk podcast, like the guest podcast that we did with Chinatalk. And you can do this without GPUs, because it's just adding weights together, and dividing things, and doing like simple math, which is really interesting for the GPU ports.[00:29:42] Alessio: There's a lot of them.[00:29:44] Direction 5: Online LLMs (Gemini Pro, Exa)[00:29:44] Alessio: And just to wrap these up, online LLMs? Yeah,[00:29:48] swyx: I think that I ki I had to feature this because the, one of the top news of January was that Gemini Pro beat GPT-4 turbo on LM sis for the number two slot to GPT-4. And everyone was very surprised. Like, how does Gemini do that?[00:30:06] swyx: Surprise, surprise, they added Google search. Mm-hmm to the results. So it became an online quote unquote online LLM and not an offline LLM. Therefore, it's much better at answering recent questions, which people like. There's an emerging set of table stakes features after you pre train something.[00:30:21] swyx: So after you pre train something, you should have the chat tuned version of it, or the instruct tuned version of it, however you choose to call it. You should have the JSON and function calling version of it. Structured output, the term that you don't like. You should have the online version of it. These are all like table stakes variants, that you should do when you offer a base LLM, or you train a base LLM.[00:30:44] swyx: And I think online is just like, There, it's important. I think companies like Perplexity, and even Exa, formerly Metaphor, you know, are rising to offer that search needs. And it's kind of like, they're just necessary parts of a system. When you have RAG for internal knowledge, and then you have, you know, Online search for external knowledge, like things that you don't know yet?[00:31:06] swyx: Mm-Hmm. . And it seems like it's, it's one of many tools. I feel like I may be underestimating this, but I'm just gonna put it out there that I, I think it has some, some potential. One of the evidence points that it doesn't actually matter that much is that Perplexity has a, has had online LMS for three months now and it performs, doesn't perform great.[00:31:25] swyx: Mm-Hmm. on, on lms, it's like number 30 or something. So it's like, okay. You know, like. It's, it's, it helps, but it doesn't give you a giant, giant boost. I[00:31:34] Alessio: feel like a lot of stuff I do with LLMs doesn't need to be online. So I'm always wondering, again, going back to like state of the art, right? It's like state of the art for who and for what.[00:31:45] Alessio: It's really, I think online LLMs are going to be, State of the art for, you know, news related activity that you need to do. Like, you're like, you know, social media, right? It's like, you want to have all the latest stuff, but coding, science,[00:32:01] swyx: Yeah, but I think. Sometimes you don't know what is news, what is news affecting.[00:32:07] swyx: Like, the decision to use an offline LLM is already a decision that you might not be consciously making that might affect your results. Like, what if, like, just putting things on, being connected online means that you get to invalidate your knowledge. And when you're just using offline LLM, like it's never invalidated.[00:32:27] swyx: I[00:32:28] Alessio: agree, but I think going back to your point of like the standing the test of time, I think sometimes you can get swayed by the online stuff, which is like, hey, you ask a question about, yeah, maybe AI research direction, you know, and it's like, all the recent news are about this thing. So the LLM like focus on answering, bring it up, you know, these things.[00:32:50] swyx: Yeah, so yeah, I think, I think it's interesting, but I don't know if I can, I bet heavily on this.[00:32:56] Alessio: Cool. Was there one that you forgot to put, or, or like a, a new direction? Yeah,[00:33:01] swyx: so, so this brings us into sort of February. ish.[00:33:05] OpenAI Sora and why everyone underestimated videogen[00:33:05] swyx: So like I published this in like 15 came with Sora. And so like the one thing I did not mention here was anything about multimodality.[00:33:16] swyx: Right. And I have chronically underweighted this. I always wrestle. And, and my cop out is that I focused this piece or this research direction piece on LLMs because LLMs are the source of like AGI, quote unquote AGI. Everything else is kind of like. You know, related to that, like, generative, like, just because I can generate better images or generate better videos, it feels like it's not on the critical path to AGI, which is something that Nat Friedman also observed, like, the day before Sora, which is kind of interesting.[00:33:49] swyx: And so I was just kind of like trying to focus on like what is going to get us like superhuman reasoning that we can rely on to build agents that automate our lives and blah, blah, blah, you know, give us this utopian future. But I do think that I, everybody underestimated the, the sheer importance and cultural human impact of Sora.[00:34:10] swyx: And you know, really actually good text to video. Yeah. Yeah.[00:34:14] Alessio: And I saw Jim Fan at a, at a very good tweet about why it's so impressive. And I think when you have somebody leading the embodied research at NVIDIA and he said that something is impressive, you should probably listen. So yeah, there's basically like, I think you, you mentioned like impacting the world, you know, that we live in.[00:34:33] Alessio: I think that's kind of like the key, right? It's like the LLMs don't have, a world model and Jan Lekon. He can come on the podcast and talk all about what he thinks of that. But I think SORA was like the first time where people like, Oh, okay, you're not statically putting pixels of water on the screen, which you can kind of like, you know, project without understanding the physics of it.[00:34:57] Alessio: Now you're like, you have to understand how the water splashes when you have things. And even if you just learned it by watching video and not by actually studying the physics, You still know it, you know, so I, I think that's like a direction that yeah, before you didn't have, but now you can do things that you couldn't before, both in terms of generating, I think it always starts with generating, right?[00:35:19] Alessio: But like the interesting part is like understanding it. You know, it's like if you gave it, you know, there's the video of like the, the ship in the water that they generated with SORA, like if you gave it the video back and now it could tell you why the ship is like too rocky or like it could tell you why the ship is sinking, then that's like, you know, AGI for like all your rig deployments and like all this stuff, you know, so, but there's none, there's none of that yet, so.[00:35:44] Alessio: Hopefully they announce it and talk more about it. Maybe a Dev Day this year, who knows.[00:35:49] swyx: Yeah who knows, who knows. I'm talking with them about Dev Day as well. So I would say, like, the phrasing that Jim used, which resonated with me, he kind of called it a data driven world model. I somewhat agree with that.[00:36:04] Does Sora have a World Model? Yann LeCun vs Jim Fan[00:36:04] swyx: I am on more of a Yann LeCun side than I am on Jim's side, in the sense that I think that is the vision or the hope that these things can build world models. But you know, clearly even at the current SORA size, they don't have the idea of, you know, They don't have strong consistency yet. They have very good consistency, but fingers and arms and legs will appear and disappear and chairs will appear and disappear.[00:36:31] swyx: That definitely breaks physics. And it also makes me think about how we do deep learning versus world models in the sense of You know, in classic machine learning, when you have too many parameters, you will overfit, and actually that fails, that like, does not match reality, and therefore fails to generalize well.[00:36:50] swyx: And like, what scale of data do we need in order to world, learn world models from video? A lot. Yeah. So, so I, I And cautious about taking this interpretation too literally, obviously, you know, like, I get what he's going for, and he's like, obviously partially right, obviously, like, transformers and, and, you know, these, like, these sort of these, these neural networks are universal function approximators, theoretically could figure out world models, it's just like, how good are they, and how tolerant are we of hallucinations, we're not very tolerant, like, yeah, so It's, it's, it's gonna prior, it's gonna bias us for creating like very convincing things, but then not create like the, the, the useful role models that we want.[00:37:37] swyx: At the same time, what you just said, I think made me reflect a little bit like we just got done saying how important synthetic data is for Mm-Hmm. for training lms. And so like, if this is a way of, of synthetic, you know, vi video data for improving our video understanding. Then sure, by all means. Which we actually know, like, GPT 4, Vision, and Dolly were trained, kind of, co trained together.[00:38:02] swyx: And so, like, maybe this is on the critical path, and I just don't fully see the full picture yet.[00:38:08] Alessio: Yeah, I don't know. I think there's a lot of interesting stuff. It's like, imagine you go back, you have Sora, you go back in time, and Newton didn't figure out gravity yet. Would Sora help you figure it out?[00:38:21] Alessio: Because you start saying, okay, a man standing under a tree with, like, Apples falling, and it's like, oh, they're always falling at the same speed in the video. Why is that? I feel like sometimes these engines can like pick up things, like humans have a lot of intuition, but if you ask the average person, like the physics of like a fluid in a boat, they couldn't be able to tell you the physics, but they can like observe it, but humans can only observe this much, you know, versus like now you have these models to observe everything and then They generalize these things and maybe we can learn new things through the generalization that they pick up.[00:38:55] swyx: But again, And it might be more observant than us in some respects. In some ways we can scale it up a lot more than the number of physicists that we have available at Newton's time. So like, yeah, absolutely possible. That, that this can discover new science. I think we have a lot of work to do to formalize the science.[00:39:11] swyx: And then, I, I think the last part is you know, How much, how much do we cheat by gen, by generating data from Unreal Engine 5? Mm hmm. which is what a lot of people are speculating with very, very limited evidence that OpenAI did that. The strongest evidence that I saw was someone who works a lot with Unreal Engine 5 looking at the side characters in the videos and noticing that they all adopt Unreal Engine defaults.[00:39:37] swyx: of like, walking speed, and like, character choice, like, character creation choice. And I was like, okay, like, that's actually pretty convincing that they actually use Unreal Engine to bootstrap some synthetic data for this training set. Yeah,[00:39:52] Alessio: could very well be.[00:39:54] swyx: Because then you get the labels and the training side by side.[00:39:58] swyx: One thing that came up on the last day of February, which I should also mention, is EMO coming out of Alibaba, which is also a sort of like video generation and space time transformer that also involves probably a lot of synthetic data as well. And so like, this is of a kind in the sense of like, oh, like, you know, really good generative video is here and It is not just like the one, two second clips that we saw from like other, other people and like, you know, Pika and all the other Runway are, are, are, you know, run Cristobal Valenzuela from Runway was like game on which like, okay, but like, let's see your response because we've heard a lot about Gen 1 and 2, but like, it's nothing on this level of Sora So it remains to be seen how we can actually apply this, but I do think that the creative industry should start preparing.[00:40:50] swyx: I think the Sora technical blog post from OpenAI was really good.. It was like a request for startups. It was so good in like spelling out. Here are the individual industries that this can impact.[00:41:00] swyx: And anyone who, anyone who's like interested in generative video should look at that. But also be mindful that probably when OpenAI releases a Soa API, right? The you, the in these ways you can interact with it are very limited. Just like the ways you can interact with Dahlia very limited and someone is gonna have to make open SOA to[00:41:19] swyx: Mm-Hmm to, to, for you to create comfy UI pipelines.[00:41:24] Alessio: The stability folks said they wanna build an open. For a competitor, but yeah, stability. Their demo video, their demo video was like so underwhelming. It was just like two people sitting on the beach[00:41:34] swyx: standing. Well, they don't have it yet, right? Yeah, yeah.[00:41:36] swyx: I mean, they just wanna train it. Everybody wants to, right? Yeah. I, I think what is confusing a lot of people about stability is like they're, they're, they're pushing a lot of things in stable codes, stable l and stable video diffusion. But like, how much money do they have left? How many people do they have left?[00:41:51] swyx: Yeah. I have had like a really, Ima Imad spent two hours with me. Reassuring me things are great. And, and I'm like, I, I do, like, I do believe that they have really, really quality people. But it's just like, I, I also have a lot of very smart people on the other side telling me, like, Hey man, like, you know, don't don't put too much faith in this, in this thing.[00:42:11] swyx: So I don't know who to believe. Yeah.[00:42:14] Alessio: It's hard. Let's see. What else? We got a lot more stuff. I don't know if we can. Yeah, Groq.[00:42:19] Groq Math[00:42:19] Alessio: We can[00:42:19] swyx: do a bit of Groq prep. We're, we're about to go to talk to Dylan Patel. Maybe, maybe it's the audio in here. I don't know. It depends what, what we get up to later. What, how, what do you as an investor think about Groq? Yeah. Yeah, well, actually, can you recap, like, why is Groq interesting? So,[00:42:33] Alessio: Jonathan Ross, who's the founder of Groq, he's the person that created the TPU at Google. It's actually, it was one of his, like, 20 percent projects. It's like, he was just on the side, dooby doo, created the TPU.[00:42:46] Alessio: But yeah, basically, Groq, they had this demo that went viral, where they were running Mistral at, like, 500 tokens a second, which is like, Fastest at anything that you have out there. The question, you know, it's all like, The memes were like, is NVIDIA dead? Like, people don't need H100s anymore. I think there's a lot of money that goes into building what GRUK has built as far as the hardware goes.[00:43:11] Alessio: We're gonna, we're gonna put some of the notes from, from Dylan in here, but Basically the cost of the Groq system is like 30 times the cost of, of H100 equivalent. So, so[00:43:23] swyx: let me, I put some numbers because me and Dylan were like, I think the two people actually tried to do Groq math. Spreadsheet doors.[00:43:30] swyx: Spreadsheet doors. So, one that's, okay, oh boy so, so, equivalent H100 for Lama 2 is 300, 000. For a system of 8 cards. And for Groq it's 2. 3 million. Because you have to buy 576 Groq cards. So yeah, that, that just gives people an idea. So like if you deprecate both over a five year lifespan, per year you're deprecating 460K for Groq, and 60K a year for H100.[00:43:59] swyx: So like, Groqs are just way more expensive per model that you're, that you're hosting. But then, you make it up in terms of volume. So I don't know if you want to[00:44:08] Alessio: cover that. I think one of the promises of Groq is like super high parallel inference on the same thing. So you're basically saying, okay, I'm putting on this upfront investment on the hardware, but then I get much better scaling once I have it installed.[00:44:24] Alessio: I think the big question is how much can you sustain the parallelism? You know, like if you get, if you're going to get 100% Utilization rate at all times on Groq, like, it's just much better, you know, because like at the end of the day, the tokens per second costs that you're getting is better than with the H100s, but if you get to like 50 percent utilization rate, you will be much better off running on NVIDIA.[00:44:49] Alessio: And if you look at most companies out there, who really gets 100 percent utilization rate? Probably open AI at peak times, but that's probably it. But yeah, curious to see more. I saw Jonathan was just at the Web Summit in Dubai, in Qatar. He just gave a talk there yesterday. That I haven't listened to yet.[00:45:09] Alessio: I, I tweeted that he should come on the pod. He liked it. And then rock followed me on Twitter. I don't know if that means that they're interested, but[00:45:16] swyx: hopefully rock social media person is just very friendly. They, yeah. Hopefully[00:45:20] Alessio: we can get them. Yeah, we, we gonna get him. We[00:45:22] swyx: just call him out and, and so basically the, the key question is like, how sustainable is this and how much.[00:45:27] swyx: This is a loss leader the entire Groq management team has been on Twitter and Hacker News saying they are very, very comfortable with the pricing of 0. 27 per million tokens. This is the lowest that anyone has offered tokens as far as Mixtral or Lama2. This matches deep infra and, you know, I think, I think that's, that's, that's about it in terms of that, that, that low.[00:45:47] swyx: And we think the pro the break even for H100s is 50 cents. At a, at a normal utilization rate. To make this work, so in my spreadsheet I made this, made this work. You have to have like a parallelism of 500 requests all simultaneously. And you have, you have model bandwidth utilization of 80%.[00:46:06] swyx: Which is way high. I just gave them high marks for everything. Groq has two fundamental tech innovations that they hinge their hats on in terms of like, why we are better than everyone. You know, even though, like, it remains to be independently replicated. But one you know, they have this sort of the entire model on the chip idea, which is like, Okay, get rid of HBM.[00:46:30] swyx: And, like, put everything in SREM. Like, okay, fine, but then you need a lot of cards and whatever. And that's all okay. And so, like, because you don't have to transfer between memory, then you just save on that time and that's why they're faster. So, a lot of people buy that as, like, that's the reason that you're faster.[00:46:45] swyx: Then they have, like, some kind of crazy compiler, or, like, Speculative routing magic using compilers that they also attribute towards their higher utilization. So I give them 80 percent for that. And so that all that works out to like, okay, base costs, I think you can get down to like, maybe like 20 something cents per million tokens.[00:47:04] swyx: And therefore you actually are fine if you have that kind of utilization. But it's like, I have to make a lot of fearful assumptions for this to work.[00:47:12] Alessio: Yeah. Yeah, I'm curious to see what Dylan says later.[00:47:16] swyx: So he was like completely opposite of me. He's like, they're just burning money. Which is great.[00:47:22] Analyzing Gemini's 1m Context, Reddit deal, Imagegen politics, Gemma via the Four Wars[00:47:22] Alessio: Gemini, want to do a quick run through since this touches on all the four words.[00:47:28] swyx: Yeah, and I think this is the mark of a useful framework, that when a new thing comes along, you can break it down in terms of the four words and sort of slot it in or analyze it in those four frameworks, and have nothing left.[00:47:41] swyx: So it's a MECE categorization. MECE is Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive. And that's a really, really nice way to think about taxonomies and to create mental frameworks. So, what is Gemini 1. 5 Pro? It is the newest model that came out one week after Gemini 1. 0. Which is very interesting.[00:48:01] swyx: They have not really commented on why. They released this the headline feature is that it has a 1 million token context window that is multi modal which means that you can put all sorts of video and audio And PDFs natively in there alongside of text and, you know, it's, it's at least 10 times longer than anything that OpenAI offers which is interesting.[00:48:20] swyx: So it's great for prototyping and it has interesting discussions on whether it kills RAG.[00:48:25] Alessio: Yeah, no, I mean, we always talk about, you know, Long context is good, but you're getting charged per token. So, yeah, people love for you to use more tokens in the context. And RAG is better economics. But I think it all comes down to like how the price curves change, right?[00:48:42] Alessio: I think if anything, RAG's complexity goes up and up the more you use it, you know, because you have more data sources, more things you want to put in there. The token costs should go down over time, you know, if the model stays fixed. If people are happy with the model today. In two years, three years, it's just gonna cost a lot less, you know?[00:49:02] Alessio: So now it's like, why would I use RAG and like go through all of that? It's interesting. I think RAG is better cutting edge economics for LLMs. I think large context will be better long tail economics when you factor in the build cost of like managing a RAG pipeline. But yeah, the recall was like the most interesting thing because we've seen the, you know, You know, in the haystack things in the past, but apparently they have 100 percent recall on anything across the context window.[00:49:28] Alessio: At least they say nobody has used it. No, people[00:49:30] swyx: have. Yeah so as far as, so, so what this needle in a haystack thing for people who aren't following as closely as us is that someone, I forget his name now someone created this needle in a haystack problem where you feed in a whole bunch of generated junk not junk, but just like, Generate a data and ask it to specifically retrieve something in that data, like one line in like a hundred thousand lines where it like has a specific fact and if it, if you get it, you're, you're good.[00:49:57] swyx: And then he moves the needle around, like, you know, does it, does, does your ability to retrieve that vary if I put it at the start versus put it in the middle, put it at the end? And then you generate this like really nice chart. That, that kind of shows like it's recallability of a model. And he did that for GPT and, and Anthropic and showed that Anthropic did really, really poorly.[00:50:15] swyx: And then Anthropic came back and said it was a skill issue, just add this like four, four magic words, and then, then it's magically all fixed. And obviously everybody laughed at that. But what Gemini came out with was, was that, yeah, we, we reproduced their, you know, haystack issue you know, test for Gemini, and it's good across all, all languages.[00:50:30] swyx: All the one million token window, which is very interesting because usually for typical context extension methods like rope or yarn or, you know, anything like that, or alibi, it's lossy like by design it's lossy, usually for conversations that's fine because we are lossy when we talk to people but for superhuman intelligence, perfect memory across Very, very long context.[00:50:51] swyx: It's very, very interesting for picking things up. And so the people who have been given the beta test for Gemini have been testing this. So what you do is you upload, let's say, all of Harry Potter and you change one fact in one sentence, somewhere in there, and you ask it to pick it up, and it does. So this is legit.[00:51:08] swyx: We don't super know how, because this is, like, because it doesn't, yes, it's slow to inference, but it's not slow enough that it's, like, running. Five different systems in the background without telling you. Right. So it's something, it's something interesting that they haven't fully disclosed yet. The open source community has centered on this ring attention paper, which is created by your friend Matei Zaharia, and a couple other people.[00:51:36] swyx: And it's a form of distributing the compute. I don't super understand, like, why, you know, doing, calculating, like, the fee for networking and attention. In block wise fashion and distributing it makes it so good at recall. I don't think they have any answer to that. The only thing that Ring of Tension is really focused on is basically infinite context.[00:51:59] swyx: They said it was good for like 10 to 100 million tokens. Which is, it's just great. So yeah, using the four wars framework, what is this framework for Gemini? One is the sort of RAG and Ops war. Here we care less about RAG now, yes. Or, we still care as much about RAG, but like, now it's it's not important in prototyping.[00:52:21] swyx: And then, for data war I guess this is just part of the overall training dataset, but Google made a 60 million deal with Reddit and presumably they have deals with other companies. For the multi modality war, we can talk about the image generation, Crisis, or the fact that Gemini also has image generation, which we'll talk about in the next section.[00:52:42] swyx: But it also has video understanding, which is, I think, the top Gemini post came from our friend Simon Willison, who basically did a short video of him scanning over his bookshelf. And it would be able to convert that video into a JSON output of what's on that bookshelf. And I think that is very useful.[00:53:04] swyx: Actually ties into the conversation that we had with David Luan from Adept. In a sense of like, okay what if video was the main modality instead of text as the input? What if, what if everything was video in, because that's how we work. We, our eyes don't actually read, don't actually like get input, our brains don't get inputs as characters.[00:53:25] swyx: Our brains get the pixels shooting into our eyes, and then our vision system takes over first, and then we sort of mentally translate that into text later. And so it's kind of like what Adept is kind of doing, which is driving by vision model, instead of driving by raw text understanding of the DOM. And, and I, I, in that, that episode, which we haven't released I made the analogy to like self-driving by lidar versus self-driving by camera.[00:53:52] swyx: Mm-Hmm. , right? Like, it's like, I think it, what Gemini and any other super long context that model that is multimodal unlocks is what if you just drive everything by video. Which is[00:54:03] Alessio: cool. Yeah, and that's Joseph from Roboflow. It's like anything that can be seen can be programmable with these models.[00:54:12] Alessio: You mean[00:54:12] swyx: the computer vision guy is bullish on computer vision?[00:54:18] Alessio: It's like the rag people. The rag people are bullish on rag and not a lot of context. I'm very surprised. The, the fine tuning people love fine tuning instead of few shot. Yeah. Yeah. The, yeah, the, that's that. Yeah, the, I, I think the ring attention thing, and it's how they did it, we don't know. And then they released the Gemma models, which are like a 2 billion and 7 billion open.[00:54:41] Alessio: Models, which people said are not, are not good based on my Twitter experience, which are the, the GPU poor crumbs. It's like, Hey, we did all this work for us because we're GPU rich and we're just going to run this whole thing. And

Do you ever feel powerless against your hurts, hang-ups, and habits?  Chris Ray's hurts, hang-ups, and habits literally killed him. Remarkably, his encounter with Mortality wasn't permanent, and Chris returned transformed. Chris is no longer powerless against his hurts, hang-ups, and habits because he has learned to look up and let go.  If we have ears to hear, we can learn the same lessons from Chris' story without a harrowing ordeal of our own. If we have the courage to add Action to our Insights, we can experience transformation, too.  I met Chris through a mutual friend here in Steamboat. His warmth, openness, and lack of pretense were simultaneously a bit disarming and a refreshing change. Chris exudes his unique brand of warmth, openness, and lack of pretense, but I realize that it's a combination of qualities that I often encounter in those in the Recovery community. It occurs to me, too, that I belong to that community now, due to the alcohol-free Adventure I've embarked on in 2024.

My name is Austin Adams and thank you so much for listening today. We have a few very crazy topics to cover. I don't think one that we expected to have to cover after the, you know, Nancy Pelosi Taiwan situation. It's like literally back to back to back to back like crazy wild events, which I guess is good for the news and podcasting world, but kind of wild just to be an everyday citizen, trying to do your job and be a good father and mother and person with friendships. But here we. So we might as well talk about it.  so on episode number 39 of the red pill revolution podcast, we are going to discuss 86,852 new IRS employees now to be hired after a bill passed the Senate. And on the back of that, the IRS posted literally today posted a job posting, talking about hiring, essentially IRS agents who are willing to pick up a weapon and use deadly force. I wonder what type of tax of agent warrants, the IRS murdering us citizens . So we will discuss that. We are also going to jump into the, obviously the Mar Lago Trump situation, Trump, this. Was rated by the FBI. So we will discuss what happened. Uh, we'll also discuss who signed off on this and, uh, some of the comments that some famous people talked about and kind of my thoughts on it. So we'll discuss all of that and more today. But before we do that, the first thing I need you to do is go ahead and hit that five star review button hit that subscribe button. It would mean the world to me. And I know you're thinking about it. You're like, man, why would I do that? Well, you should do it. Cuz I asked you and I said, please, please  so hit that subscribe button again. It would mean the world. To me. There's not very many things that you can do right now where you're sitting, where you can get some good karma. I talk about that all the time, but you truly can. It means a lot to me just hit that subscribe button takes two seconds. And if you didn't do it the last 20 seconds or so that I've talked about it, just do it right now and I'll stop talking about it. I'll give you two seconds. Ready. All right. Cool. Now that you've done that  then let's go ahead and let's jump into it. And here we go. Episode number 39 of the red pill revolution podcast. Welcome to red pill revolution. My name is Austin Adams. Red pill revolution started out with me realizing everything that I knew, everything that I believed, everything I interpreted about my life is through the lens of the information I was spoon fed as a child, religion, politics, history, conspiracies, Hollywood medicine, money, food, all of it, everything we know was tactfully written to influence your decisions and your view on reality by those in power. Now I'm on a mission, a mission to retrain and reeducate myself to find the true reality of what is behind that curtain. And I'm taking your ass with me. Welcome to the revolution. All right. So the very first thing that we were gonna discuss was a bill was passed hiring, allowing the hire of 87,000 new IRS agents who are going to come after everyday citizens, swarming every little deduction that you have ever taken  in your entire life. Uh, now this is, and if you realize how many people actually work at the IRS currently, it's about half of this. So they just doubled their working force and in the attempt to recoup and reclaim all of the money that they have frivolously spent in Ukraine. . So I wonder if you take the, I don't know what the number is at this point, like $80 billion or so that we've sent to Ukraine. Um, I wonder how much of. Uh, IRS attempt is now not only in an attempt like, so they're not only spending your tax hours, frivol frivolously, they're hiring, uh, or they're sending it to a war that we're not a part of. And then to fund their overspending and the inflation that they've caused themselves. They're now going to go back and recheck your taxes. You know, the taxes that they already spent on everything they've wanted to spend, uh, by hiring and doubling their working force to do so now that's not as crazy as the next topic that we're gonna discuss, which is absolutely a part of this topic, which is, you know, we already kind of talked about with the, I. Having job postings talking about deadly force. Uh, but let's go ahead and read this article about the 86,852 new IRS agents. It goes on to say that you've probably heard Republicans say the inflation reduction act. The massive spending bill with just passed by Senate Democrats, including provisions to hire 87,000 new internal revenue service agents. The number seems too big to believe the I, the IRS currently just has 93,654 employees, according to the office of personnel management. By the way, this article is coming from the town hall. Uh, now it goes on to say that why would Congress in one bill increase the IRS workforce by something like 92%? It doesn't seem possible that math does not add up anyways. It certainly doesn't seem wise. It's not wise, but it is possible. And that's why, what 50 Senate Democrats, along with the tie breaking vice president Kamala Harris. I wish I could do a good impression of her laugh  um, did, when they passed the inflation reduction act, which gives roughly 80 billion to the IRS now, and, uh, 2031, the name inflation reduction act was a RO to convince gullible voters that Democrats are actually doing something about inflation. If you were curious where this, this, uh, news articles, uh, bias lies, the bill itself is made of expensive climate measures. Plus prescription drug provisions, tax increases in initiative to increase IRS enforcement. The inflation inflation, the inflation reduction act is the slim down version of the even more massive build back better bill. Interesting. I did not know that. Which failed earlier this year, due to the opposition of democratic Senator Joe mansion, we know a lot about the IRS provisions of the new bill, because the same provisions were in the build back better plan, which the administration extensively promoted, you know, the build back better plan. That was basically the ideation coming off of the book written by clause Schwab himself, you know, the, the true evil, uh, puppet master. It says that's where the 87,000 figure comes from in May, 2021. The treasury department produced a 22 page analysis of build back better. And in supporting tables, the documents had, the bill would add 86,852, or, uh, full-time equivalent employees to the IRS between now and the year 2031 do a little rounding. And there's the 87,000. Interesting. So I had no idea that this was approx, just a smaller ideation of the original built back, better plan. And if you don't know about that, I'm pretty sure. I'm actually positive that that whole idea of build back better comes from the world economic forum. 100%. They had a whole like, uh, a whole meeting where all the world leaders came together, talking about the build back better plan, according to Claus, Schwab, I guess my K Schwab is maybe a little bit better than Kamala Harris, but probably a little bit closer. Toula  um, although you're probably not too far off with Kro and Dracula anyways. Um, so I find that to be somewhat concerning right now. There's a clip here that's been circulating about Peter Ducey, uh, where he discusses, um, why they may be doing so in the concerns about the 87,000 people. And it's at the back of it, we'll actually watch it on the backs of one of the clips that we're looking at, discussing the FBI rate of Donald Trump. Because it's kind of like a really end snippet during the white house, press secretary discussion on that. Uh, but what she says is that they're only going to go after people who make more than $400,000 a year. And now this article actually talks about that. And that is what they consider to be upper class, not middle class. So they're going to be going after people who make more than $400,000 a year, and nobody under that line. Now she goes on in that same discussion to call them taxi VAERS and tax. I don't know what the word she was, but it was somewhat venomous term to describe everyday people who are literally just trying to fill out bullshit forms so they can pay your salary dummy anyways, uh, Pretty crazy, but not as crazy as the next one. The next one that we're going to discuss here is what they immediately did. Following this bill being passed by the Senate, they immediately posted a job posting. So everybody's already wildly upset by the fact that the IRS is more than likely going to audit, basically everybody in the United States now, um, as a result of this, you know, according to them only people who make over $400,000 a year, but obviously that's not actually going to be the case. Um, so let's look at what the more concerning part of this is, but before we discuss that, the next thing I need you to do is go over to red pill, revolution dot. All right now you can actually go to my website, which is red pill, revolution dot C o.com is for losers. So head over to red pill, revolution.co, and you can actually sign up for the subst directly on there. You can see AC I redid the whole website. I've been spending a ton of time on this guy.

So head over to red pill, revolution.ceo, and you can sign up for the subst stack directly on my website there. And just, if nothing else, check it out. Tell me my website sucks. I don't know, but I think I did a pretty good job. So head over there right now and sign up for the subst stack. You'll get all of the articles, links, videos, everything for free for now. All right. So I would appreciate it now on the backs of that, let's go ahead and talk about what piggybacks that last topic, which is the IRS is seeking armed accountants, ready to use deadly force. Now the IRS posted a job posting today, which caused immense backlash from the general public. I wonder why. When you have a bunch of nerds sitting there using Excel spreadsheets all day now holding AR 15 assault rifles, looking to kill everyday citizens because you , you deducted a, a lunch meeting when, you know, there's a secret agent sitting there with earpiece and listening, and then all of a sudden pulls a gun on you and shoots you in the head because they know that wasn't the proper deduction. I could just almost, I can imagine the amount of skits that you can make off of this. Um, but there's probably a lot, right? I'll just, let's, let's go with, um, instead of double oh seven, it's gonna be, you know, agent 10 99.  I don't know. There's so many, so much good material in this. Um, but you'll let the comedians work that out themselves. Uh, so this is wild. So I'll read this article a little bit for you. Um, I don't, I wanna shy away from reading too much, uh, because I have some shit to say myself. Um, but this goes on to say that even before Congress and president Joe Biden give the final, okay. For the IRS to hire 87,000 more agents. Uh, and again, that's a good thing is that this bill still has yet to pass Congress or Joe Biden. Um, so we still have a chance to not, you know, maybe potentially get killed by IRS agents, which would be a positive, uh, but, um, the final, okay. For the IRS bill to hire 87,000 more agents and the 80 billion package, the tax agency is revealing a priority job category that could get first dibs on the huge budget expansion on its job page listing of vacancies for special agents at the IRS to be placed around the country to root out financial fraud. But these are opening more than just financial experts. They will also be armed among the requirements listed is to carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force for the I R S. If necessary. It says when, when I'm sorry, when is it necessary for anything to do with financial obligations, filling out tax forms for an IRS agent agent 10 99  to, to be carrying any type of weapon and perhaps rating houses, just like the FBI just did to Donald Trump. I can only imagine what they're gonna be doing here, but it's quite concerning. And, and if you don't know, the IRS has been purchasing millions of dollars of ammunition over the last several years. Millions of dollars. Now I wonder where that money came from. Oh yeah. The IRS is spending your tax dollars buying ammunition so they can arm themselves to go raid your homes and then kill you as a result of going into your home to figure out how much money you didn't pay them for them to pay themselves, to buy more ammunition, to kill more Americans. What the fuck kind of weird clown mirror multiverse. Did I end up in where the IRS is hiring special agents to use deadly force? I don't know. I made, if you've seen the movie, if you, if you haven't seen the movie, I guess it's, uh, everywhere all the time. Something like that. Every place, I don't know. Probably one of my favorite movies that's come out in the last five years. Um, it's like everywhere all the time. I don't know something like that. Um, go check it out. Cause that movie is incredible. It just it's actually ironically written by the same people who write the, uh, Marvel movies, where the multiverse is such a consistent topic. But it's a, it's quite interesting to see how they actually go about the multiverse situation and, and to see those sprinkles of the multiverse be like riddled into our entertainment, uh, is quite interesting too. It's something I'm interested in researching further and doing a full episode on, because I think the multiverse theory is quite an interesting one. Um, but I definitely made a wrong decision somewhere to end up in the multiverse where all of this wild stuff is happening.  and apparently so did you, so I'm sorry that we made these bad decisions together  so the article goes on to. That among the job requirements listed, it is to carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force if necessary, special agents who can be placed around the nation and the world have an interesting job. According to the IRS description, they are financial analysts and armed officers ready for a shootout. Um, there was a tweet listed by Ford Fisher who I believe started was the biggest tweet, uh, that kind of started this, eh, maybe not the biggest one, but it was a part of it. Um, getting into something what, where people found to be interesting enough for it to circulate this way. And it was directly from the IRS website and it says some of these standards that the individuals have to conform to in order to operate under this, you know, agent 10 99  is to adhere to the highest standards of conduct, especially in maintaining honesty and integrity work a minimum of 50 hours a week, which may include irregular hours and be on. 24 7, including holidays and weekends. Keep in mind, this job is like $55,000 a year to 70,000 potentially. So not only are you overworking, you're underpaid, you're on call. Like you're a medical surgeon and you're carrying a firearm willing to use deadly force, like your double oh seven . Um, and then it also says be willing to able to participate in arrests, execution of search warrants and other dangerous assignments. Now he goes on to say that they will combine accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes, all income earned, both legal and illegal has the potential of becoming involved in these crimes, which fall within the investigative jurisdictions of the IRS criminal investigation. And this is from their website, which talks about the criminal investigation, uh, branch of the IRS.  and it says, who are we? The criminal investigation is the law enforcement branch of the IRS. Our mission is to serve the American public. You mean shoot them in their house for forgetting to deduct something properly anyways, to serve the American public asterisks by investigating potential criminal violations of the internal revenue code and related to financial crimes in a manner that fosters confidence in the tax system and compliance with the law. As a special agent, you will combine your accounting skills with law enforcement skills to investigate financial crimes. Special agents are duly sworn law enforcement officers who are trained to follow the money. Ooh, cool statement IRS, no matter what the source all income earned, both legal and illegal has potential becoming involved in these crimes with fallen within the investigative services. He goes on to tweet that while the newly hired feds are required to carry a firearm and be willing to use deadly force, the government adds the criminal investigation. Special agents are a part of a diverse workforce that. Mirrors the tax paying public, we serve. Interesting. Um, and also here's a interesting article which backs up my former claim about the, all of the ammunition they've been buying between March 1st and June 20 or June 1st, 2021. The criminal division of the IRS has ordered seven or $696,000 in an ammunition. And the IRS told verify in an email in 2018, the report, the IRS showed it to generally spend $675,000 on ammunition a year in the previous seven years. So in a single year, they spend as much as they did in seven years. So what, how crazy is that? And if you don't know, like the cost of ammunition, it's about, you know, depending on what you're shooting is about. Uh, I don't know when I. Ammunition was about a, well, I never bought ammunition. Um, but uh, last time I didn't buy ammunition. It was about a dollar round for like 5, 5, 6, a little bit more for blackout rounds. Uh, nine millimeter. I mean it all falls falls generally around that nine millimeter can be a little bit more expensive. So if you take that, obviously they're buying it in bulk pretty big bulk, um, that $675,000 or $700,000 in a year amounts to about just let's go easy dummy math, about $700,000 worth of rounds more because they're buying it in bulk. What in the hell is the IRS doing with $700,000 and are 700,000 rounds of ammunition? What, what in the world could they be? What type of operations is the IRS conducting or are they just stockpiling this? So when Biden inflation continues to occur that eventually they can come after everyday citizens who disagree with them, audit them. Kick down their door. And if you don't comply with them and fill out your tax forms properly, they're gonna shoot you in the head. And that, uh, article about that came from verify this.com sounds super legitimate.  it's like one of those fact checking websites, maybe. Um, I know, um, so pretty wild. The fact that the IRS is looking to hire special agents to conduct raids on every day. Citizens we'll see where it goes from here, but I think this, I legitimately think this stuff's about to get pretty wild over the next, I don't know, five to seven years or so. Um, we'll see, you know, just seeing how much damage has occurred in the last 365 days. I don't know how long, you know, since the presidency occurred, how much inflation has occurred, how how much gas prices have gone up, how much food prices have gone up. Um, and we'll actually look at some of these, uh, discussions here in a second about that. Um, In the Peter Ducey questionings here.  but the next topic that we are going to discuss is going to be, there's better clip that's been circulating and I've tried to just shy away from these topics. Like I said, in the last episode, like my stuff is just like so far shadow band to beyond oblivion on like Instagram. I have 50,000 followers, 200 people see my story. Um, so I would always appreciate it if you share my stuff, it's literally the only way that my stuff gets out. Um, all social channels are red pill revolt, uh, pretty easy to find backup channels. Uh, just two Ts on the back end. Um, so anyways, uh, I don't know where I was going with that. Oh yeah, yeah. Yeah. I've been trying to get away from the topic of discussing like the trans the, you know, but there's one that really sticks out to me. That's bothersome. And it's the situation that we're seeing. There's a TikTok video. That's been going around a, um, some weird type of sex therapist talking about maps. And if you don't know what a map is. You do, you just don't cushion the title because you see them for what they are. So let's go ahead and watch this video. We'll see what this woman has to say about it. And then we will discuss it as always. And here we go, folks. My name is Miranda. I use she her pronouns and I'm a licensed professional counselor and sex therapist in Erie, Pennsylvania. And today I wanna talk about minor attracted persons, and I want to talk about minor attracted persons because they are probably the most vilified population of folks in our culture. And most folks are making incorrect assumptions about them without actually knowing much about them. Yeah, the assumption is that they're pedophiles. There's no wrong assumptions there. If you are a. You are a minor attracted person. You are somebody who is interested in minors sexually. Maybe we should. You know, I, I, I've been really hating the label of murderer lately. We just call them individuals who like to end lives. And the acronym is I L E L I LS are the new ones that we're going to protect individuals who like to end lives. I am so sick of everybody in the world, just hating on the, I LS the individuals who end lives. It is the, one of the most outrageous things that everybody wants to jump on. The backs of these. I LS the fact that you want to call out these people who end lives. They, they don't control that they have these urges to kill people. They don't have, they don't control that at all. Just like I like to go on walks. They like to murder people. There's nothing wrong with that urge. Now we just need to stop this right now. We need to stop it in its tracks, because if we don't stop this right now, the I LS of the world, whereas you call them murderers. They're gonna feel bad about themselves. Oh, poor. I LS. What could we do? Everybody's assuming they're bad people. They're not bad people. They just have urges to kill people anyways, and those assumptions create harm for an already marginalized population. You may have noticed that I'm using the term minor, attracted persons, sometimes abbreviated to maps instead of the more commonly used term pedophile. And I'm doing this because the term pedophile has moved from being a diagnostic label, to being a judgemental, hurtful insult that we H at people in order to harm them or slander them. I also prefer person first language that recognizes that any label we might apply to a person is only part of who they are and doesn't represent everything that they are. Yeah. It just talks about the part of who they are that wants to sexually assault minors who cannot consent, what kind of mental gymnastics. And I think that last analogy pretty much sums it up of how ridiculous this is. Nobody's marginalizing this group. This group is literally people who want to sexually assault children and children cannot consent. If you wanna argue the fact that people should be able to do this. You're wildly, obviously you're you are in that class of individuals. Otherwise you wouldn't be arguing that, but you have to understand too. There's like this movement behind there, there literally is. If you're saying there's not watch this video, watch this individual, who's trying to do mental gymnastics and play these PC games and trying to, and that's what I've said all along. It's the whole reason for the acronym, right? The ABC, the FGS of the world. Eventually the plus turns into a M there's going to be an M on there. Eventually if enough people like this don't seek don't get enough resistance immediately by the general public. This woman is literally sitting here protecting, and I guarantee you, I guarantee you with every fiber of my being that this woman does not have children guaranteed. This woman does not have children because this woman's sitting there literally thinking through the idea of her being the pedophile. And wanting to defend the pedophile, not the child, not the innocent individual who cannot defend themselves, not the in innocent individual. Who's not allowed to be advertised to legally because the implications of them not being able to realize when somebody is trying to take advantage of them for profit, literally there's advertising laws against advertising the minors. You wanna know why, because they're not fully developed and they cannot reasonably understand when somebody is trying to take advantage of them for profit. So if you can't reasonably advertise to somebody who's under 18 specifically, why should you be able to take advantage of them sexually? It blows my mind that this woman she's has a bald head. Still know, she's a woman, , she's a woman. This woman is sitting here and especially trying to like speak immediately, starts her sentence with a, um, with a, uh, figure of authority, right. She tries to present herself as I'm a licensed sex therapist and, and somebody who, you know, whatever bullshit a, you know, uh, she, she tried to claim herself to be as, as a person who knows better than you, who calls people, pedophiles, pedophiles, right? Just it's just a label. It's only a part of who they are that likes to sexually assault minors. It's, it's so crazy to me, so wild to me. And I think that like I L E L scenario, like just perfectly sums it up. If you wanna say that it's just part of who they are that they wanna murder. They have this internal urge to snap a neck from somebody beside them. like, where do we, where do we draw the line here? If we're not gonna draw the line that literally, if you go to jail, if you go to jail, The only class of, of criminal, not murderers, not the worst of the tax of the world, that the IRS is going after the people who the incarcerated individuals. And we'll talk about that in a second, because that's wild too. New York just decided to change the name of inmate to incarcerated individuals. Um, but when you go to jail, the only class of individual who is looked at as the scum, the scum of the jail is the pedophile. You're the ones that you are going to literally probably get your ass kicked over and over and over and over again, because you're the worst of the worst of the worst of the inmates that are in there. And they hate you for the actions that you did to the citizens or the children. That you conducted them on. And this lady, this licensed sex therapist has the audacity to sit in a public forum, put out this video and believe that she was in the moral high ground for protecting individuals who want to sexually assault minors. That's where we're at. That's the multiverse that me and you find ourselves in today when we took a left turn, because we chose to eat a hot dog instead of a hamburger  like seven years ago. Um, it's, it's so crazy. We're halfway through the clip. So we'll watch the rest of it. Here. We are all people first with many different facets or parts of ourselves. And this includes folks who are attracted to minor. So to start with, let's talk about what a minor attracted person is or who they are. This term simply means that the person has an enduring sexual or romantic attraction to minors. They've not chosen this attraction just as the rest of us have not chosen whatever our attraction is. You don't get to choose to be heterosexual or to be gay or, or whatever you are. And you don't get to choose to be a minor attracted person. Some minor attracted persons are attracted to a specific age range of minors while some are not. And some minor attracted persons are exclusively attracted to minors and are not attracted to adults at all. Some minor attracted persons are also attracted to adults. Wow. Thank you for that riveting discussion. And the clarification as to what a pedophile is. We know we're well aware of what a pedophile is. We've known this for millennia. What a pedophile is, didn't change my opinion on what a, that we should be out here, singing praises and doing parades for the maps of the world. Now you should probably still get your ass kicked in prison for doing horrific things to children, not changing my opinion on that. So I don't know. It's, it's, it's so crazy to me that this woman gets on there speaking from her moral high ground and thinks that people want to hear this, like thinks that she's like defending the, the, you know, individuals of the world who need to be defended. No, they don't need to be defended. They're predators who prey on children because they're sick in the head. Just the same way that. Somebody who murders somebody. It's just a facet of who they are. It's a small part of them likes to slit people's throats. You know, they're a dad, they're a husband, they're a, they're a brother. They, they like to play basketball on the weekends. And some nights after 11:00 PM for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, they also like to murder people.  we shouldn't, we shouldn't, you know, be mad at them for that. It's just an urge that they feel inside of them to do so crazy. It, it, I, I literally cannot say anything more about that besides the fact that that woman needs to lose whatever license she claims to have. If she actually has one or needs one for the profession that she's in, because she's obviously just as insane as the individuals that she feels the need to. All right. Now, the next thing that we're going to discuss is going to be the biggest topic of discussion, which has been.  on everybody's mind recently, which is probably a wild indication of where our nation is going or not our nation, but the governmental agencies that claim to protect us. Um, so let's just jump into it. Donald Trump's Malago estate got rated by the FBI in a situation that has never happened in the history of the United States. The FBI has never rated a former president's house looking for documents or for any other reason. Now we'll get into some of the details of why we actually think this might be some of the crazier theories on that. Um, but actually one thing that I forgot was the, the New York thing on that, basically what, you know, I skipped over that thought train there, but let, let me go back for a second. What ended up happening is New York decided to de change their definition of inmate. To incarcerated person because they believed that they were a marginalized group. So let's see if I can find an article that explains that real quick for you, because I think it's pretty weird where we're getting to where we're trying to pad the idea  of, of we're. We're literally trying to protect those of us. Now. I am, am a firm believer that the United States, the freest country in the world is not that we're the exact opposite of that. We have more incarcerated individuals than the next three first world countries combined, and more so than like almost every other country under that combined as well. So I believe that we far, far. Imprisoned people in the United States, way more than we should, way, way, way, way more than we should. Okay. Um, so let me start with that premise. I, I do not believe that we should be incarcerating people at the rates that we are. I think that we are the, you know, you claim to be the freest country in the world, but yet you have more humans behind bars than any other country at all in the world per capita, by far per capita and even more than just the average statistic. So, and then on the backs of that, you know, you have the re situation where we're literally trying to trade Russian mobster, arms dealers called like the, what is, I don't remember his name, but it was like his, his, uh, like nickname was like the bloody something. I don't know it was something wild, but we were literally trying to trade a arms dealer who was going after us citizens with bombs, for somebody who was smoking weed or bringing on marijuana cartridges in Russia. Yet. We have hundreds of thousands of fathers, mothers, daughters, humans sitting behind bars today, eating bullshit food because they wanted to smoke something, eat, ingest, something that is literally legal in however many states today, like 17 or more states at this point, marijuana's legal and we're negotiating terrorists to free this one individual in Russia. Yet we have hundreds of thousands of people behind bars today, and it's still a federal schedule, one drug. I don't know how I got in that tangent, but anyways, back to New York , which is that New York is to, uh, New York changes the term inmate to incarcerated individual with the goal. Let's see that article's gone. Um, New York to scrap inmate in favor of incarcerated individual in new state law said New York will no longer refer to prisoners as inmates and will instead call them incarcerated individuals. According to a new law, um, democratic New York governor surprise, surprise, Kathy. Hoel signed the legislation Monday. She argues that removing the term inmate will help to reduce a harmful stigma against incarcerated people by correcting outdated terminology. Oh, you don't like the sound that I say with my mouth, Missy, in, in New York, we're doing everything in our power to show that justice and safety can go hand in hand. We can make our streets and communities safer by giving justice involved, individuals, justice involved, indivi, what the fuck? What are we doing here? Next thing you know, Webster is gonna be changing the definition of incarcerated. We can make our streets and communities safer. She says by giving justice involved individuals, the chance to complete the rehabilitation program and work at the same time by treating all new Yorkers with dignity and respect, we can improve public safety while ensuring new Yorkers have a fair shot at the second chance. Oh, you think changing the word is gonna do that for them. Democratic state Senator. Gustavo Rivera sponsored the legisla legislation through the New York state legislator. According to Rochester first for too long, we, as a society have thought of incarcerated individuals as less than people, the use of the word inmate further dehumanizes and demoralizes them. This is another concrete step. Our state is taking to make our criminal justice system one that focuses on rehabilitation rather than relying solely on punishment. The New York law is the latest example of a trend among Democrat Democrats, Democrats. That damn did I just come up with a new slogan?  is a new trend among Democrats to adjust current terminology, progressive Democrats, uh, Republican, or I'm sorry. Progressive Democrats like representative Corey Bush have also pushed towards referring to mothers and women as birthing people wrong. When we talk about birthing people, we we're being inclusive. It's that simple. We're using gender neutral language when talking about pregnancy. No, because pregnancy's not gender neutral bitch. Only women only. Uterus is only vaginas have the power to birth children. And you cannot take away from women. The fact that they're literally superheroes who can 3d print organic material better than any machines or science that we have today, you cannot take that superpower away from them is the most incredible thing that a human can do ever. And only half of us can do it. And I could never claim to birth a child, been a part of several births. I have several children and I cannot do what my wife did. Cannot do it promise you no matter how hard I squeeze, no matter how much I push my belly out, I cannot have a child. Um, anyways, so that's wild. How many words, like in true 1984 fashion, all of the definitions are being changed to appease the Democrats. And I, I, it's just so weird. It's so bizarre that we've gotten to this point. Um, but anyways, I just wanted to elaborate on what that actual idea was before I moved on. So I know you were just so thirsty to wonder about new York's use of the term incarcerated individual So anyways, let's go back to the Donald Trump situation. So Donald Trump's Malago estate was recently rated by the FBI for reasons that they say is specifically due to 17 boxes of documents that he took from the white house, some containing classified information. So. Is that bullshit probably. Um, there's probably many, many other reasons, you know, they could probably have come up with a far better excuse than that, but that is the current reason why they're saying that they did. So we will find out, obviously there will probably be very little charges. Donald Trump seems to believe from an articles that I've read that they are doing this to make sure that he cannot run again in 2024, if nothing else is going to embolden him and his followers to continue following him and to continue pointing at what is going on in their nation today with extreme concern. Because if they can literally raid Donald Trump's house, they can very, very, very, very easily do it with no pushback to me. And you obviously, right? None of us are as powerful or as rich or as capable legally as Donald Trump. And they did it to him without. Even giving him a search warrant, allegedly, uh, and, and kicked out his attorney, which we'll find out in an article that we discussed about that Eric Trump talks about. So one of the first things that came up with this is people talking about who actually executed this, who signed off on this warrant. And one of the more interesting, uh, things was this list that came out of three individuals, Bruce rein. Bruce Reinhardt, if you don't know who Bruce Reinhardt was, he was a, uh, lawyer who attempted to assist with the trafficking, uh, uh, the individuals who were in trouble after the Jeffrey Epstein case. So he literally helped protect the sex trafficking, uh, and individuals who were maps.  the, the gross, disgusting pedophiles who were a part of Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking ring. He went to protect them. And, you know, we were talking about why people's houses, who should actually be rated. Right? And we'll look at that in just a second. But, so these were a few people who signed off in this Bruce Reinhardt. He helped sex traffick or Jeffrey Epstein escape from any real justice. This tweet side, which comes from Robbie S. He also talks about me Garland being the other one, which says Trump took his nomination away from the Supreme court. And then Chris Ray, who's the FBI chief that Trump tried to fire according to this individual, over his horrific job performance. And they all signed off on the rating of president Trump's house. Now we'll look a little bit more into each one of those because I find it to be interesting that these individuals are the ones who decided that he's the one for these documents whose homes should be rated. Now the first article that comes up talks about, uh, let's see if I can find it here. It came out of the, uh, same one that I read earlier, town hall. So we'll see if we can find that article. Um, but it talked about, uh, Merick Garland. And it says that mayor Garland faces possible impeachment. I believe this was just a statement made by Ram Paul, but they say that he was confident that attorney general me Garland could face possible impeachment over the FBI raid of formal or former president Donald Trump's Florida estate, predicting that a full investigation won't happen until after the midterms commence in November. Paul demanded for the order to raid Trump's house to be revealed. Um, yeah, probably not happened in there. Um, now the, uh, other thing that came up out of this was that. Let's see if we can find it here. So this was about Bruce Reinhardt. Now this is a tweet that came from comfortably smug, quite the Twitter name. Um, but it says that on October, uh, this came from, oh, it doesn't say where the article came from, but it says on October 23rd, 2007 as federal prosecutors in south Florida were in the midst of a tense negotiation to finalize a plea deal with accused sex traffick or Jeffrey Epstein. A senior prosecutor in their office was quietly laying out plans to leave the us attorney's office. After 11 years on that date, as 11 emails were flying between Epstein's lawyer and federal prosecutors, Bruce Reinhardt. Now a federal magistrate opened and a litigation li or a limited liability company. Sorry. It's like blacked out on that spot limited liability company in Florida that established what would become his new criminal defense practice. The stated address, according to. Florida state corporate records was two 50 south Australian avenue, suite 1400. It was the same location, an identical suite number as that of Jeffrey Epstein's lead attorney. Interesting. It says by the end of the year, Reinhardt had resigned his post. Um, in the district of Florida within days on January 2nd, 2008, he was hired to represent several of Epstein's accused accomplices, who would later like Epstein re receive federal immunity for allegedly trafficking, underage girls. Allegedly Reinhardt's defection was one of many, highly unusual turns that the Epstein case took 12 years ago moves that could merit examination as the multimillionaires controversial non prosecution agreement is dissected in the wake of this arrest last week on sex trafficking charges. That was an older article, but interesting, nonetheless, that this is the individual who's signing off on Donald Trump. If you're curious if this has any political motivations and is purely justice doing justice things, probably not somebody who cares about justice is the person who's helping people get out of sex trafficking minors. All right, so let's go ahead and let's watch the clip of Peter Ducey, um, going back and forth with the new press. Secretary don't really care for her name yet. Um, but here it is. Thanks. KA. Do you consider Donald Trump to be a political rival of president Biden? I, I'm not gonna speak to that from here, but you talk about Trump all the time. So do you consider him to be, I don't talk about Trump all the time. Ultra Maga, you guys were criticizing his handling of COVID last week. You've mentioned his January 6th response a couple days ago. So can you say based on all that? I, I didn't say anything about Marla. I'm just asking you if you considered the president, I'm saying from here, I'm not gonna comment on that. Does the president still, so you're not gonna comment on the idea that he's a political adversary. He was literally the person. Biden Rangan. That's the definition of a political adversary.  why you're, if you're deflecting that question, I'm sure you're answering literally nothing. And if you've been watching her over time, she's even worse than her predecessor, which was very difficult to do, but she doesn't even seem to E attempt even to answer questions and even circle back as the term would be before. Uh, but she doesn't even answer that. And then you'll see here, she goes on to literal. Basically answer none of these questions, but, um, still interesting to see how she reacts nonetheless by, eh, I don't bring up his name. Yes, you do. Every single conversation they have in that room at least drops his name one time or another. Want to, uh, think that he would be very fortunate to run against Trump in 2024. Like he had said before again, I'm not gonna comment on it's just, it's just spoke. I'm the president in the next election. I'd be very fortunate if I had that same man running against me. Does he still, oh, I can tell you, Peter, is that the president intends to run in 2024? Is there a concern here that if you guys don't say more than these Republicans who are accusing this white house of weaponizing, the justice department weaponizing, the FBI are, that's gonna become the, the public sentiment. If you guys don't say once, and for all, we are not doing that first, first of all, We're just not going to comment on the department of justice investigation. Okay. We're we're just not going to comment on that. Is this white house weaponizing, the justice department and the FBI against, against political opponents? The president has been very clear, uh, from before he was elected. Very clear on this. Hold on throughout his time in office, I heard the quote. We will be playing the quote tonight at six o'clock. I actually do appreciate because there's probably very little other actual individuals in that room that actually push back against this. As you can see how uncomfortable the sea of individuals is around him as these journalists. Uh, but I can appreciate Peter Ducey because he's actually, he's quite quick on his feet to realize what she's doing to realize. She's literally just parroting a quote that he already said, and he's quick to jump in and go, okay, I get that a hundred. Now actually answer my question. Are they weaponizing the FBI? Because as we saw, they did this to project Veritas, they raid their homes for the Ashley Biden diary under the direction of Joe Biden. Very, very clearly. There's no other reason. And they found nothing. They'd prosecuted. Nobody, nobody went to jail. They're literally intimidating people. Like they're a, a mob, the mafia of Joe Biden, right? Why, why else would the FBI be kicking down the doors of journalist homes searching for a kid's a woman's diary? Why a diary, by the way, that outlines that there was inappropriate showers with Joe Biden, that she believes affected her sexual urges later in life, that she believes made her hypersexualized. And the reason that she looks at sexuality, the way that she did, which is why it was such a big deal and why it got hushed so bad when you can actually go find the Ashley Biden diary. If you look at her subst. Red pill, revolution.com or directly on red pill, revolution dot COO back a few, few, few episodes, probably 10 or so episodes ago, I actually listed it in one of the Biden hunter Biden, deep dives that I did. You can get the full diary right on there. Uh, I listed it in there for you and gave the link, but, uh, the diary outlined a bunch of weird things. You kind of saw some, you know, it gave me some empathy for Ashley Biden and seeing the situations that she's in and the mental health issues that she deals with and the family issues that she's dealt with and hardships and stuff. But one of the things that stood out about that was the fact that she talked about trying to unravel her difficulty with sexuality later in life and believing that she had inappropriate showers with her father, uh, in her early years, which comes at no surprise when you see that a hundred by or a hundred Biden. Well also him, but Joe Biden sniffing every child that comes within three feet of him. 30 feet of him, even in some cases  crazy. Uh, but weaponizing the FBI against project Veritas for legally obtaining a diary, the president's daughter's diary, like how crazy, how wild is that? That imagine if somebody steals your daughter's diary and you hire a mob of individuals to go kick down their door to go see who found it. That's what the president of the United States did with the FBI here. And now again is doing it against the guy who he is a political adversary of no matter how much she doesn't wanna say it is a political adversary of is now sending the FBI to his home, to raid his home with weapons in hand to find documents. Right. Of course. But again, I appreciate what Peter Ducey is doing here because there's very, very, there's no other clips that we're finding of anybody. There's no other clips of any other journalist who's pushing back in these white house briefings the way that Peter Ducey does and for him to jump in. And, and really, and now I would love to hear why can you not say yes or no? Why would you not want to answer the fact that the FBI is not being weaponized by the president of the United States to go after a former president in the way that nobody's ever done ever in the history of the United States ever? Why would you not just say no, we're not doing that. That would be illegal. You can't even comment that it's illegal because you don't want it to come out later that there was some connection between Joe Biden and the FBI raiding a former president's house is this administration weaponizing, the justice department and the FBI against political opponent. Peter, the president believes in the rule of law, the president believes in the independence of just say of the department of justice, say yes or no, just is white house. No, it's a yes or a no for you. I'm answering the question in the question is a yes or no question. What do you mean? You're answering the question. You're not answering the question. You're skirting around it in every way possible. You're not saying no, we are not. Or yes, we are. You don't get to that's. That's how questions work, especially a question that says, are you doing this? I believe in the justice system of America. No, it's a yes or no question. Answer the damn question. You may not like it, but I'm answering the question and I'm no, Nope. I'm answering the question and I'm telling you that we are not going to comment on a criminal investigation. The present has been very. I laid out what his thoughts were back on January 7th in 20, in 2021 about how he saw the department of justice. And I'm just going to leave it there. We are not going to comment from here from this white house on a criminal investigation that is currently happening. And just one more about the inflation reduction act, who, and here's where he goes down to talk about the IRS situation. So I will, we'll let it run for here for a second. So we can circle back to the original type of archive, beginning part of our conversation. So here's that I'm here decided that Americans were crying out for more interaction with the IRS. I, I don't understand your question. You have to say more. Do you think it's gonna be popular when the 87,000 new employees hired by the IRS, go around and start auditing people to pay for the inflation reduction act. So it's very clear. Uh, the IRS commissioner was very clear on this. He said that on, on the record,  that this only will, it will only apply to those earning over $400,000. The commissioner said, and I quote, these resources are absolutely not about increasing audit scrutiny on small businesses or middle income Americans. As we have been planning, our invest investment of these enforcement resources is designed around treasury directive. That audit rates will not rise relative to recent years for households making under $400,000. So no audit. This is, this is focus on those who are, uh, uh, you know, corporate wealthy tax sheets that Republicans, congressional Republicans wanted to, uh, defend that's who they wanted to defend. They wanted to defend those corporate, uh, tax sheets. This is not about, this is not about that. This is not about folks who make less than $400,000. So no new audits on anybody making a hundred, $400,000 here. No, very clear. No. She failed to mention, she failed to mention the part where they were literally arming these IRS agents and giving them the use of deadly for the What is it? The license to kill of double oh seven, like, gosh. All right. So there's that. And then the last one that I will leave you guys with here is going to be the comment of president, uh, former president Donald Trump's, uh, associate Dana white, who talks about the Mari Lago raid, which I thought was an interesting perspective on it, which we'll talk about more in just a. Uh, another one of your friends, Donald Trump. Yeah. Just had his place rated. I was wondering if you had any thoughts about that? Yeah. Um, I it's it's madness, man. The, the whole, the whole, the whole world is crazy right now. Some people have mentioned that we now live in a post constitutional America or a banana Republic. Yeah. It's interesting, man. I don't even know what to say. I don't even know what to think about any of that stuff. I, again, cuz I don't know enough about it, but uh, yeah, I can think of about, you know, without getting political right now and getting into all this  bullshit, but there's 10 other people's houses that probably should have been rated before, before his, that haven't happened. So it'd be interesting to see how this plays. I love that response. There's 10 other people whose houses should have been rated. You know what? And I wish he would've given names, but since he didn't, I will, here's 10 people who should have been rated before Donald Trump. The first one talking about assassinations is Hillary Clinton. The body count just keeps rising for the Clinton family and nothing at all is done about it ever. There's a guy who literally shot himself twice in the head. There's a guy who hung himself, shot himself in the head and then crawled three miles, maybe. Maybe you should raid her house. The next person is Zoe J Simpson. He definitely killed that woman. The next one is Nancy Pelosi, skirting every, every insider trader law ever, maybe raid her house. And you'll find exactly where all, all of the, uh, you know, the legal stock information and the real boxes that you should be looking for here. Next person I'll throw on that list is P Diddy because he definitely killed Tupac.  this maybe raided his house. The next personnel list is prince Andrew, who is the creepiest pedophile in the history of humanity next to Jeffrey Epstein on every plane ride ever to grope and sexually assault underage girls. The next one would be the man, the big guy himself, Joe Biden, for many, many reasons, including collusion, as well as profiting from his position as vice president of the United States, among many, many, many other things that hopefully come out. Once we see the, you know, hunter Biden situation be followed up on. And speaking of hunter Biden, the individual who is now flying on the plane flying literally on air force one this week was hunter Biden. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's home is getting raid and the individual who is showing that he was inappropriate with individuals in his own family who are underage, who had literal documentation of working his father's influence with China, Russia, and Ukraine. Uh, the next one would be bill gates, obviously for many, many reasons crimes against humanity and all of the people that he killed under his own doctorate over the last several days. And then the other one would be bill Clinton. Oh, and I didn't even mention Anthony Fauci, the rat of all rats, who is literally responsible for all of the death of aids individuals, all of the deaths of the COVID situation. Uh, so many, so many, so many reasons go read the Robert Kennedy Jr. Book to find out exactly why, but there, there is 10 individuals who should absolutely have had their homes rated before Donald Trump did. There you go. And that my friends is what I will leave you with today.  all right. So a wild situation that has occurred, um, and we will see how it plays out. If anything actually comes of this, it seems like in attempt to intimidate Donald Trump or else we would've had a search warrant listed everywhere. It would've been plastered on the walls. The exact reason, every news article ever, if they actually had dirt on him, would've talked about how Donald Trump was gonna be arrested and, you know, it's bullshit and just an attempt to intimidate him. But I. As always time will tell. So again, thank you guys so much for listening. Go head over to red pill, revolution dot C oh.com is for losers. Head over to the new website. Tell me what you think. If it sucks deal with it, I'll make it better over time, but I think it's pretty cool. So I think you'll have a different opinion than that.

The next one I'm gonna jump into is going to be on seed oils. And following that, I have an episode coming out where I'm going to be doing my very first interview style episode here, discussing the. Chinese organ trade, um, which is this horrific, horrific stuff going on in China right now. Um, so many awesome, awesome things.

Bitcoin, um, you know, the pharmaceutical industrial complex, uh, all of these things, the education BS that's going on and indoctrination of our children and the youth. So many awesome, interesting topics that I am going to be diving. Very very deep every single week, um, and giving my perspective on, in historical accounts on, so become a part of it. Uh, subscribe five star review. It would mean the world to me, red pill, revolution.co. And thank you so so much for joining me today and welcome to the revolution. Have a great day.

This week our boys are headed out west to the small town of Perfection, Nevada with their special guest, filmmaker Chris Ray, to talk about the 1990 western-themed monster horror comedy, Tremors. In this Ron Underwood (City Slickers and The Adventures of Pluto Nash) feature, we get introduced to the brotherly duo of Valentine "Val" McKee and Earl Bassett played by Kevin Bacon (Footloose and Hollow Man) and Fred Ward (Escape from Alcatraz and The Right Stuff), who show us the importance of standing your ground, even when there's literal monsters underneath it. Filling out the remainder of the town we meet the Gummers played by country music star Reba McEntire (Reba) and Michael Gross (Family Ties and literally every Tremors spinoff there is), a couple who shows us that guns can only get you so far... pipebombs do the rest. Our hosts and special guest break it all down for you in an episode that gets surprisingly real and serious.

Your business will be made or broken on relationships. Building trust and being passionate is central to this. Whether it’s your team, your clients, or your competition, these relationships are crucial. Today’s guest has not only built an amazing business based on relationships but clearly loves what he does every day. Key Takeaways Finding opportunities to take on side-gigs will keep your skills sharp and allow you to do exciting work you otherwise couldn’t. There’s a lot of learning and inspiration that comes from branching out and trying new things that will help you constantly level-up as a filmmaker.  When building a team, start with trust and passion. Knowing that your people will faithfully and enthusiastically get the job done whether you’re there or not is central to a well-functioning business. About Chris Ray Chris is a filmmaker who got his start in action sports filming skateboarding videos. Since then, he has done a wide range of work with companies such as DC Shoes, NFL Films, Ford, GoPro, ESPN, and many more. Imbuing Your Work With Passion Chris has a great perspective on everything that he does. For one thing, he doesn’t view other filmmakers as competition. Instead, they’re an inspiration and possible collaborators. Chris loves his work so much that he seldom passes up an opportunity to make videos. When he doesn’t have a project, he makes one for himself. This passion to keep working on many different projects has allowed Chris to keep his skills well-honed as a filmmaker. Building an Amazing Team Chris doesn’t do it all alone. He has built up a solid team of filmmakers to help make and produce their videos. I know many of us are hesitant to hire people, but it is an essential part of growing your video business. Chris knows that the most important place to start when taking on new people is trust. You need to be able to trust your people to get the job done without you. That’s why you brought them on to begin with.

I’m inspired by other filmmakers. I’m inspired by my team. Those are the people I want to work with. I’ve definitely learned that you can't do everything by yourself. I try to surround myself with other filmmakers that are great because it makes me better.” [5:30] “I still get scared every single time I get hit up for a freelance job. It’s still scary every time and I think that’s because I think I’m scared of failure. I just say yes and we go for it and we figure it out. That’s always been my advice to people: just say yes. Just do it.” [10:10] “Being respectful to people no matter what the role is, no matter what their level is, treating everybody with respect is a huge thing.” [17:39]   Links: Get free access to the Budget Workshop Storyblocks Core Find Chris Ray online Follow Chris on Instagram | Facebook Inovativ 10% discount code   Additional Links: Check out the full show notes page Do you have something to share on this podcast?

"Chauvinistic Nationalism" Hosts: Darren Weeks, Vicky Davis Show Website: https://governamerica.com Vicky's Websites: http://thetechnocratictyranny.com and http://channelingreality.com COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AND CREDITS AT: https://governamerica.com/radio/radio-archives/22321-govern-america-november-30-2019-chauvinistic-nationalism This week was the 20 year anniversary of the "Battle in Seattle", a massive protest against the World Trade Organization. Where is the outrage and principled protest against globalization today? The United States-Mexico-Canada Free Trade Agreement (USMCA) is still being prepped for a final vote. Outrage over revealed conflicts-of-interest involving Adam Schiff staff members belonging to The Atlantic Council think tank, which, in turn, is apparently funded by Burisma. But where is the noise over the fact that the military/security industrial complex also funds The Atlantic Council?

We go discuss how you can properly use Instagram for your business which will help drive sales. We found an article that reviews 10 ways to help utilize Instagram. https://www.socialmediaexaminer.com/instagram/

You can check out the article we went over here: http://appliedcolors.com/so-what-do-car-dealers-think-of-their-vendors.html

Why Wholesale Is King Monetary benefits - With multiple accounts, wholesale can lead to a day to day steady flow of income Conveience Aspect - When dealing with multiple wholesale accounts, there is little time for other avenues. It allows for a technician or a company to deliver the most value possible to there dealerships that they service. There is a cadence that will naturally progress and accounts can easily be serviced 1 -2 times a week. Sometimes 5 days a week of the volume allows Time - Wholesale allows for flexibility within a technicians schedule, where as long as they are there on the day they say they will be, everything will most likely run smooth Growth Potential - If servicing many wholesale accounts, it allows for a larger volume of work to flow through the company which will naturally bring more money in. This steady flow of income from multiple dealerships will allow a company to gain revenue sometimes quicker than strictly a retail setting. Stability - It possibly easier to grab 1-2 cars from a wholesaler than to close 1 -2 retail sales

Chris and Dave discuss whether the tools or the tech make the repair. A technician can have all of the tools in their arsenal but is it up to them to know how to use them?

Mistakes Every PDR Tech Makes Repair Not recognizing your tip Knocking down too early Using some sort of cart Estimating damage w/o light, w/o comparative pricing, w/o pre-scan Tool Variety — Not appreciating new tools or methods Looking for secondary access or all of the ways to gain access Changing tools throughout the repair — Using the best tool for the job Underestimating large damage Not asking for help Not respecting the craft/ Constant Learning Business Not understating basic business foundation Targeting proper clientele for your SKILL level and your Business Not building proper relationships w/ accounts Misuse of Ads —— Relying solely on ads — not using them efficiently No Insurance

Super thankful to welcome 'JK' John Kelly of the Rams for the Desiree SHOW on March 19, 2019 at the Dash Radio Studios. Someone whom represents everything my show is about and whom oozes with humility and grace. The Desiree Show tagline 'First Downs and Flip Tricks' personified! Skateboarding saved his soul and football his life and has his inspiration tattooed on his arm, 'Keep Pushing', ( he also a football). He has a phenomenal story, and although I've hooked up many NFL players with skateboards, I have yet to see one that rips like John does or that resonates what a skateboarder is. From skating a 9-stair handrail with no grip tape to becoming NFC Champs and going to Super Bowl 53 in Atlanta with the Rams. He is truly one of a kind! Probably the only skateboarder in history to play in the Super Bowl. Hope you enjoy getting to know John as much as I did. For better or worse, always unedited and raw! Thanks to KVR at Vans for hooking up some custom Vans for John to design and Wave Soda for sending him a box off goods. Warm thanks also to Chris Ray and Rams reporter Sarina Morales, also to Chargers PR Jamaal LaFrance for trying to reach Desmond King as well as Chris Landstrom. You can follow John on IG & Twitter @JKShuttlesworth Make sure to follow @theDesireeSHOW @Desiree_Astorga on IG and twitter for BTS stories on air and many more events, inside locker rooms, on the deck of skate events or even back yard sessions or NFL practices. Plus stay up to date on upcoming guest in studio. The Desiree Show airs on Dash Radio Wednesdays 4-5 PM PST and Friday 7-8 AM.

Chris Ray is one of the youngest and hardest-working filmmakers in skateboarding today. He got where he is today by taking initiative and chasing his dream, not letting it slip away from him. Instead of being a talented filmmaker whose lap skate videos just kind of fell into, Chris knew he wanted to film skate videos and had to develop the skill, make the connections, and purchase the equipment along the way. Today, with an extremely impressive list of projects behind him, he continues to build his reputation as the now principle filmer for DC shoes while taking breaks to film Street League now and then. With his young age and insatiable drive to keep progressing, Chris looks to have a long, long career left in front of him. Chris Ray takes us through his entire inspiring journey of determination and drive, showing us how he got to where he is. We go over stuff like: How he got his first break on Fully Flared The Berrics REDirect competition and his entry Being the head of filming for DC What it’s like to film Nyjah Street League After hearing this episode, hit up Chris and say “HI” by finding him on his website or social media below!
