By gosh, you can't say that and get away with it, can you?
28:21
No, this really stems back to the days of big tech censorship and the social media platforms.
28:27
We saw the big tech oligarchs of that time putting their thumbs on the scales and trying to shift the national dialogue in one direction or another for ideological reasons.
28:37
And we feared when artificial intelligence was really coming on the horizon, that the same sort of biases would be programmed into the foundations of those models.
28:46
So we were keeping an eye out for this sort of thing.
28:49
And there were certain examples that would come about and, you know, some more interesting than others.
28:54
But then this happened in our own workplace and it just absolutely floored me.

I mean, the facts are the facts, and yet if you have somebody program the machine, the AI, to teach the next generation, oh, it's the worst, you have to get rid of your car, you know, capitalism is bad, open borders are good for everybody, whatever your message is, you reinforce it with something that young people trust and obviously should not.

20:50
Right.
20:50
Yeah.
20:51
So this actually kind of dates back to the kind of the era of big tech censorship on social media platforms.
20:59
And, you know, Facebook and Twitter and the idea of them shadow banning conservatives, stifling conservative viewpoints, that sort of thing.
21:06
And a lot of that was speculative until, you know, we started getting the Twitter files, and it was showing that, you know, people at Twitter were specifically meeting with the FBI and the government to crack down on specific speech.
21:19
This became a huge thing.

You cannot be guaranteed that you're getting the truth at all.
