Episode Transcript:
Malcolm Collins: Hello Simone. I am excited to be here with you today. Today we are going to be talking about how Europe is erasing its itself and its civilization from history within the context of. AI and we are also going to talk about how AI changes the strategies that we as humans use as we relate to the world around us and ensure our own impact on the future.
Speaker: We need to talk. What is that? This is a flying robot. I just shot out of the sky after it delivered a package to my house.
So I destroyed the robot. No one is safe from these b******s.
Malcolm Collins: Hmm. So to. Start with this second topic here. You used to be, at one point you were the director of marketing at the 45th Most Traffick website in the United States. Yeah. And it's the website where people go and write it was hub Pages is what it was called.
Simone Collins: Yeah. And then it was, I think it sort of became.
A different [00:01:00] brand over time, but yeah, it it, what was the
Malcolm Collins: other brand that bought it? Squidoo.

Simone Collins: Mm-hmm.
Malcolm Collins: And this really changes a lot of the online game, and I've noticed a lot of people haven't realized this. There aren't relating to this in sort of a sane way yet.
Hmm. There's still. Brian Chow, whose article we're going to be talking about today, he, he wrote an article called Public Intellectual Privilege about how you as a public intellectual get to have a totally different relationship with ai, which is true.
