Speaker 1 (00:02):
A media.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Live but recorded on tape from New York City the
iHeartRadio Studios. It's goddamn better offline And I'm the chief
of pigs at Zitron. Today I'm joined by Jeremy Capowitz
(00:28):
of the Coreators podcast, and I'm so excited to have
you here because your podcast has found I would say,
some of history's detritus. Yeah, it's become one of the
worst best places online. But just for the listeners who
may have just ignored Cora.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
What is Cora?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Just?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Quorra is a website where you can ask questions and
then people answer it. But it is very much like
Reddit meets Facebook, I would say, right, so two of
the worst websites combined to you know, sort of like
a super saying way to create it even where website wonderful.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
So how long have you been doing the podcast?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I've been doing in like two years, since September twenty
twenty two. And why what brought you to So? We
really wanted to do a podcast that wouldn't be hard
to do, right, it only figured Quorra has endless degenerates
to look at and point at and laugh at.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Right, So what is your favorite one You've found recently.
Give me a good example.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm trying to think there's a lot of like perverts
on Quorra. I'm listening. For some reason, people go to
Quora to like act out their sexual fantasies, but they
don't want to like see it, so they'll, I don't
know what it is. They'll they'll like write down a
question that's like have you ever had a girl pea
on you? And then like they'll be like they want
people be like, oh, yeah, what time it was? I
was so naughty? And I guess then they're jacking off
(01:46):
to it or something. We found a bunch of weird
We found a whole community of people who swim with
their clothes on okay, which I imagine is a fetish
of some kind, but they were all posting photos of
it and stuff. It's all these like older guys like
in lakes and pools.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And they dressed how they dressed with normal clothes, like
just like walking around what you're in right now, okay
if you were taking like a sexy photoshoot of you jumping.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Into a falling in a pool?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, And are there lots of these perverts on that realized.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
We're very pervert who many perverts. It's like cops and
perverts and racists, which could all be the same thing.
I mean, yeah, it's a weird it's a very weird website.
So but wait, the cops. What are the cops doing
on that? Cops? They're talking about safety. There's all these
like sub quoras that are like subreddits but for qua
(02:36):
and there's a lot of them that are like how
to deal with thugs in your neighborhood?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
But wait, so you say the sub chorus, Yeah, is
this being people published there as well? It's not just
questioning answer.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I mean those are where people are still doing questions,
but they're like collecting them in a group.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Like how do I stop the stumbag from shooting?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yes, And there's a lot of like retired cops who
are like writing novels insane. A lot of them literally
are writing books of like because a lot of people
have become famous on Core. The big one is Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson got his start answering Cora questions and people
are like, you should put this in a book, and then.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Those people, we should find those people, yes and stop them.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
How do I deal with the fact that, yeah, the
Shrek and Fiona should not be to Kevin like right,
but really he came from Cora.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That makes me so angry.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
With Cora created Jordan Peterson.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That is fucking horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's really sad.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
What was he asking about?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He was answering, So he's a big answerer. So he's
the guy going in there being like, actually, if you
swim in your clothes, it's a better fold around your penis.
I don't like the idea of pervert. I like to
be called a sauctorial.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yet that's horrible and they must be even are there
any other famous Kora freaks.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I think he's the only one who became famous from Korra,
but orson Scott kard is on there. He is the
author of enders Game ow who he wrote a bunch
of sci fi novels and is like famously a insane crank.
I don't know if you know anything about him. I don't.
So he wrote enders Game, which is a book about
the government abducting children and making them fight wars against aliens,
right right, totally normal staff happens. And then in like
(04:14):
the two thousands he went crazy and he's like very Mormon,
and he was like super anti Obama. He was like,
if Obama wins, there will be gangs of black people
going around the country killing everybody. Oh my god. So
he was you know, obviously write about some stuff, but no,
he was crazy that he he's like super duper like
(04:38):
anti gay people, even though his books are like very
homo erotic. And there's like this very famous, very strange
and Enders game where Ender beats the guy up by
soaping himself. He gets really naked and then puts soap
over his body so that the bad guy can't like
catch him. He's like a very strange dude, that is,
but he was a big core guy. Yeah, he's still
on there to this, he's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I can look, but it means I just love the
idea because see what he's up to Cora seems horrible.
Just want to be abundantly clear because I was a
yah who answers freak, but I was just someone who looked.
I just it was like an ANSWER's voyeur. And there's
of course the very famous y'all who answers, how is
Babby formed?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Now go get pregnant?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I need to do way and stay mother who killed
dea Babby's I could say the whole thing, but I won't.
But Cora feels different somehow. It feels like it's got
a degree of LinkedIn poisoning almost.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah. There's also full names on there, so.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It's all like, no one's anonymous, some people are.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I mean, we've come across one guy whose name is
I Am a Pizza and he posts every day he
asked how can I get eaten? Okay, just so he's
not I don't think that's his legal name, but he's
on there.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Just my name is I'm a Pizza.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I Am a Pizza is his name?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And is it just questions around how he can get eaten?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, that's literally what it is.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
How can I get someone to eat me? How can
I get eaten? Every day?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's nothing sexual, I mean, I mean perhaps just the
process of being sexual, like of course, sure, that's are
there a lot of bit style accounts like that.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
There definitely are. There's definitely trolls on there. There's a
lot of Christian baby questions. That's a big thing on quorra, like, uh,
what would you do if you're skydiving with a Christian
baby and the baby says I'm not gonna pull my
parachute unless you renounce atheism and.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Accept Jesus Christ. Okay, well they asposed to be a gotcha.
The answer there is just I'll say whatever I need to.
It's a fucking bab exactly. They're very stupid, like just
they're not intellectuals. That there's hundreds of it, And how
are the responses? Do people take them very seriously or
do they take them more like they they kind of like,
is it like Twitter where you get like fifty percent
(06:44):
honest people and fifty percent yeah being on funn.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well it's not Twitter because they're not unfunny, but it'll
be fifty percent people answering it and fifty percent people
being like, how dare you bring this to my question
website where discourse is meant to be done.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Wait, so got card back? Oh okay, okay, so that's
answered three hours ago, four hours ago. He's there every day.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Get a job. I know he's on there just people
being like, well, how do you write a book? And
he's like, I wrote enders game in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Five, and back then I had the dinosaur that you're
back on the head. Yeah, that's that's like this listeners
who are not gonna love that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, it's just a lot of stuff about what he's
just giving, like relationship advice.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
In some spots it's not brilliant, but he's still anything
you've told me about. Is there a large like relationship advice?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Sure, Yeah, there's definitely that kind of stuff. There's a
lot of like famously bad ones where it's hard to
tell if it's like legit. I mean there's just children
on there who being like how do I get this
girl to like me or whatever?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And in some ways that feels quite honest, like what
the Internet is really form. But with the perverts and
degenerates on that, it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That there's a place that we have found a bunch
of times called like teen Fund Zone. Those were like
teens to hang out, and it's just like, how many
of these people are undercover cops? Like that's my question
from how many of them are scenes? Probably a small percent.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And so you've seen the generative AI aspect, right, yes, Yeah,
So there's this thing now called Quora prompt Generator.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh good, that is making questions that they think people
want to ask in the future, and it's like very hidden.
You have to to even find the question answer in general,
Enqure's like the worst UI. You have to like click
on like three dots and then go down to question
log and then scroll all the way to the bottom
and see the question. And now it'll just say like
created by a Quora prompt AI or whatever. And it's
(08:30):
just these bizarre questions we've come across from right now
and then.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
And when you've got any fun examples, Yeah, I have
so many of them, Please please shod them because I
think we should both listen to them and answer.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Okay, this is one that we've found on our podcast. Right,
should the Grinch be able to kill a who whenever
he wants? According to Halloween is Grinch Night? So that
is completely generative. Yeah, that, I mean, I don't quite
know how it works. Apparently it's like scrubbing these from somewhere,
like I saw some people suggest, because there's no like
answer from core. They don't tell you, like they're not saying,
(09:01):
like you've announced our new AI.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just going over that again. Halloween Night.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, I think we looked this up Halloween as Grinch
Night was like a movie from like the eighties or something.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Did it bequeath the Grinch with like a license to kill,
Like is this a purge situation?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I really I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But what were the answers?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Like, So this one had no answers on it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And we made sure just to like keep things above board,
we wrote no Grinches should have to respond to their programming,
just so the computer knows.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Grinches should have to. So this is the suggestion that
Grinch is some sort of autumaton.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Like, I don't know, I just feel like I.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Take questions very seriously on this podcast, So.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Like I just don't like that the computer is asking,
like is it cool to kill?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Ye? And then we're all like no, on the terms
of Halloween Night the Grinch right about Grinch should not kill?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Mmmm any other good ones? Because I be thinking about
Halloween Knight. This is a continuation of this theme. This
the computer asked, how can someone live with a decomposed
body in the fridge for months without others noticing they
live alone? Like that's the answer, But.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Doesn't it feel like the computer wants to know?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, it does, you know what I'm saying. The person
asked both of these questions. Yeah, you'd be like, are
you the grunch is that your fra are you gonna
kill someone?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Did you kill someone? Do you have a decomposing body
in our house?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah? The really answer is that they just tell people
that they have a smelly apartment or whatever. Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Just be a loser. Yeah, just don't let anyone in
your apartment when the body's there.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I understand that the AI isn't thinking that it's just
the next word generator, but it's concerning that that's the
next words that it's generating.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Adam DiAngelo to see. Of course he's on the board
of Open AI. Yeah, he was part of the people
being like, we have to bring back Samuel when we
need this technology. We need this technology, we need Cora
to come up with crazy questions. I actually think that
this is kind of almost a sign of the future
for what meta is going to.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Be, Like, yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's are the tons like does it just still out
all day?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There's like people have like there's a community where people
like find their favorite ones and right, right, so that
I found like ten of them that I put in.
There's this one's just like false infots. How much territory
did America acquire from the purchase of Greenland.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, so it's just like really good. Yeah, so this
is how much of this is there on the deal.
So you say it's quite hard to find the generator,
right or is it hard to find these questions?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Well, it's hard to find the if you go to
like the generator doesn't give you a list of them.
So it's just like this was made by quorra Ai
and to find the actual question, like, it's just a
pain in the ass where I can show you. So
that kind of burying them back. Yeah, So like if
this is what the question looks like, it just looks
like somebody is asking a regular question and there's all
these people answering and there's related questions. And to know
(11:57):
that it's cora a, I have to go to more
and then you go to view question in details and
then it says prompt.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Oh yeah. So just for the listeners, I'll post a
link to something like this as well. So what this
means is you can get these questions and they appear
like they're asked by a human, yes, except they're written
like yeah, like somewhat a human that has a guest lead.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, exactly. And it says it's prompts are intended to
capture questions people may have in the future.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Just me walking around my house being like, well, what
if the crunch could kill people Halloween? And shit, well
I don't have time. Well, thankfully they've already asked it,
but no one answered, right, yeah, just be You know
what the best thing is going to be when they
just have them answer it and they have an AI
answer it. You just have an auto qua.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, I'm sure there are AI answers. Oh, I'm sure
he's coming across some that feel like, I mean, it
could just be weird people.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But that's the thing. It sounds like you've got like
a perversion element that really throws that.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I am both disappointed and.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Happy to hear about the amounts of perverts theater det
But that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Kind of means the quorra is keeping up.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
But actually it sounds like they're really trying to fill
like plummet with this fucking AI shit.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, they said that something to do with like they
just want more questions on the site.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yes, of course they do, so, yeah, keep looking at
the site. But the UI of the site does not
appear to have changed.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Now, it's terrible it's really bad.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I will admit the reason I don't use Cora, other
than the fact that I know everything, is every time
I go on there, I'll be like, oh, click on,
I'll look for a question. It would be like a
question to when I's like, I don't know, like who
do you think the best baseball player in this year?
It is like because I only started watching baseball fairly recently,
and it will be like answer then like an ad
of some sort, then like a wallet Hub sponsored piece
(13:41):
of content, being like how do I save one thousand
dollars a month? And it's just eighteen affiliate lens. Yeah,
this feels like it's the advertising elements taken over Cora.
But these don't even seem like they're advertising.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
They just feel like it's bizarre. And there's also if
Sometimes you'll see an answer that's like really long and
you're like, oh, that's interesting, and it'll cut off and
be like you have to subscribe to Kora plus for
five dollars a month. It's just the better answers are
on there. I guess, are you fucking serious? It's the
worst website? What the fuck is that? It's really bad?
But the good thing about core is that you people
(14:13):
put their full names and like address. So sometimes we'll
find a guy who's like, you know, every one of
their posts is like I love to shit in a diaper.
I get off on its actually, and then they'll be like,
I live in this town in Indiana. Here's my full
name and photo. That's it's so weird.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
It's like you've got like a combination of ai islap
and just the purest old school Internet disgusting people.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, so okay, we've got a perverts, we've got our cops.
Are there any other weird subcultures you've noticed on there?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
There's a lot of politics on there, a lot of
people argument from There's like a bunch of like Trump
and and you know Democrat spaces that battle it out
where people say like is uh old bo I'm about
to get arrested tomorrow and people are like, no, he's not.
He's our greatest man alive. And they go back and forth,
and there's memes.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So it's not even like a necessarily logical questions.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's like, yeah, just total like QAnon stuff is on there, and.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So it's not particularly moderated them not really, No, there's
not does it seem to be eddie moderation on Cora.
Do you see any kind of like hate speech? Hate speech?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Oh yeah, all the time, people say, oh, there's definitely
like sorters on Gora. We found a guy recently who
said his bio said we need a white president. She said,
American Americans for white president Jesus Christ. Yeah, and sometimes again,
sometimes it's both, Like we found one that was like
why did Joe Biden let Obama make him his slave
(15:45):
and all that stuff? And then like right after it'll
be like, how do I get like my sister to
fall in love with me? Like it's like, wait, what
We'll be combined the perverts and the races.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh my god? So are there any like so there
must be sports people? Are they all giving two? Is
everyone just kind of arguing all the time?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You know what, None of us on our podcast are
really sports people. So maybe there is and we're just
not seeing it. But I haven't interacted too much with
sports Quorra, but I'm sure they're on no and they
must be insane. Yeah, I'm still I'm still blown away
that there was a Cora. Plus. Yeah, it's it's bizarre.
We refuse to pay for it. We're not.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I don't want to do it this podcast a while.
That's so good, that's so good that you staid fastly. Yeah,
you dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I have emailed him many times as.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He does not he does not get he doesn't get
back to you, Adam D'Angelo. It's a permanent thing. The
coreators will have you on and you can come on
better offline as well. But I only have very specific
questions around Halloween night, and then you will leave. I
have no further question.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now, that's what I know. If a Gridge is allowed
to kill a who and.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
He said a grinch, right, I think it was.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Actually, let's check.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
This oute because I feel like the proper like, if
it's the owner of that, shouldn't the Grench be able to.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Kill who whenever he wants?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Because I feel like that question comes down to whether
you consider the grinch a person or a race.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Like a real man. Yeah, she's allowed to kill.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Just the very person of color whenever he wants, harassed
for his religious beliefs, a.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Person of green color. Yeah. I've emailed Adam, I've emailed
Jordan Beaters, I've evailed Dorses, got card, all of them
just being like hello, I have a podcast that celebrates
Cora that you're my favorite website, just trying to be
like really nice, but none of them will play it.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, I take sam Otman. Sure, No, I got I
had got his number. I've said it multiple times on
the show. I've texted him. And then one time I
terror as a few friends by. I was at a
hotel and I stepped on the side of a balcony
and I took a photo and I put it in
the chat box that sam Oman. I said, I bet
you would love this. I said, I really should have
have every answered you. No, no, no, he is not.
(17:50):
But he's not blocked me.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I'm still getting blue reading he's That's the thing. There
is a little bit of joy of just knowing that
sam Otan's forwarding these two his pr people, being like
he's he message.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Just just letting you know about this.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
He keeps asking me about Halloween night, and he asked
me if I am A or the Grinch.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And I'm not sure how he's the great.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
He's the great. It's he's just I this is not
a tech episode, so who gives a ship? But we're
currently in the post Deep Seek world, right now, which
I think is really funny, and how you bring that
back to Quorra is now they're going to be able
to make so many more generative answers for so much cheaper,
(18:35):
We're going to be able to see these demented things.
Do you have any questions from from the AI generated
ones about like life though, like life decisions stuff or
because I think that my favorite thing with Yahu answers
was the more innocent stuff sure, where people would say, like,
how do I get a girl to fall in love
with me? My friend is mad at me?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
How do I deal with that?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
And then the just most in saying you get like normal,
normal normal than someone being like doesn't sound like much
of a friend, even though the story is about you
offending the friend.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, I was really extremely.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Rude to me, Like, no, he's not real. She'd just
understand you. You would, you were justified in screaming at him.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I'm trying to see if we have any like nice.
I mean, there's certainly a lot.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
But no, I don't mean nice. I just mean is
the AI asking a life question? Because I want to
see how the AI thinks about life?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Do any animals refer to they're young? As baby or
child like humans do.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Fuck. Yes, that's such a large language model lost question. Yeah,
you just like, well, of course animals act like humans.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Right, they're all kind. That saved the baby, Yes, fuck
it does.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
My cat does a There's just every time I think
about these fucking questions, it just kind of begins to
boil what's left of my brain more questions.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Let's go through these.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I want to know all of these fucking things.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Is it common for doctors to keep umbilical cords? Why
is it?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Why would it?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Ai write that, Like, I get that it's not a
robot the computer, but it just feels like it being like,
what is all of these freaks?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's just it's just the GPT four being like humans
are so fucking weird? Why did he doctor? Wait, just
run that question by me.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Okay? Is it common for doctors to keep umbilical courts? Okay?
So there, it's just like, ah, yeah, I bet they
do that, but how often? And then all the comments
are people being like, no, this is a weird question.
Why would you ask it? I would, but they don't
know that it's the robot.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I would not be able to help myself responding to
the fake doctor kind of like.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
All the time just saw you could just get a
stock photo of you, you know, a guy in a
lab coat and just feel like I'm a doctor.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Doctor genius. But wait, some more questions. Okay, I'm excited
by these. These are very good.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Did adam and you've celebrate Christmas? If so? How it's
so good? They're often like a weird way.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
They're often a way that's like they have a full
understand yeah meaning, but not context or history.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
No, not even meaning.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's just like these applausible sentences.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, yeah, but not it makes no sense if you
know what any of the words mean.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
That's so weird though, because surely it knows that Christmas is.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I don't think it. I don't know how to know.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I want to know. These are so the more I
think about them, the stranger they get, because it's like
these are questions that if you heard someone say them
out loud, you go, yeah, I don't know, and then
take a step back by wait, what the fuck are
you talking about? But this is all of them?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
But let's let's see what. There's a lot of answers
on this too, Like people are answering, some people are
being serious they're saying like, no, that's not possible because
you know Christmas was after that, and then other people
are like, none of it's real, so none of it.
Of course they can't because they're not real. Right, there's
people just being like silly. But yeah, that people, there's
no way to know that it's an AI, and you
wouldn't think it was. You'd think it's a.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Child or something, well, like someone with a gas leak. Yeah,
it's like, yeah, it's the kind of shit that you'd
say if you, like were walking out of a car,
right exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But the more of these there, I'm so glad you
brought these today because I really want to Is it
true that astronauts are not allowed to touch the Earth?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I don't know what that needs.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
This is the other day someone told me this the
other day. Another ready answers on that one.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I have to imagine it's just people being like, how
dare you? No no answers on this one.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yet, it's so bizarre. And again this is there's no
real quick way of seeing this is AI. No.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, Yeah, it doesn't show you on the screen. You
have to go into like more settings, answer a question
log and then it'll show you there.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So deeply decentive. When did you start seeing these pop up?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So our whole thing is that we just dos people
all the time on our podcast, So if you ask
a question, we want to read your full names. So
we just started figuring out, like anytime we read a
crazy question, we're like, who asked this? What's their deal?
A lot of people are from like India. We found
coarters really big in India, much bigger in India than
the US. But then you know, every now and then
we'd come across a crazy question like can astronauts touched
(23:07):
the ground? Be like who the fuck asked this? And
we click on it and it's like the AI and
we're just like yeah, wow, and it's just more and
more has been happening. Strange question.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Is the earth capitalized in that one? I think so yeah, yeah,
that makes the meaning even stranger. Yeah, because I thought, okay,
touch the ground maybe like if it's earth, I don't know,
like a like Americans don't tend to refer to the
ground as earth that much like in England, I've heard
people say that. So this is so fucking cool, though
it's really is bizarre. Any other good ones that going through.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What horses have been invented if they did not already exist?
What factors contribute to the invention of new animals?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Okay, just run that by me again.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Would you would horses have been invented if they did
not already exist? What factors contribute to the invention of
new animals?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
There's something wrong with this this on I'm.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Like, okay again, I understand that it's just predictive text,
but it does feel like the computer being like I'm
a new animal of sorts. How do Yeah, we do
invent animals. I mean humans invented dogs.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And there are like ligos and such can make two things.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Fuck all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, probably should get off that subject. We'll get off
to really your choice the numerous but listen to the show.
You're loved and accepted. If you make it someone else's problem,
I'm coming for you.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Go at it on Quora, but you're happy to discuss.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I think what it is is that this doesn't even
sound like chat GPT. No.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, I don't know what it is. I'm not sure
what I think so, but there's no like again, there's
no Quora hasn't said what it is. Like everything I've
found about it is people either just guessing like in
the core discussed cause ever there's a million questions that
are like what is this and why is it here?
I hate it? So people are just like guessing, and
then some people will ask because there's a Quora AI
(24:53):
assistant now where it'll the AI is at the top
of every answer and every question and it tries to
answer every question. So the AI will be like, this
is what the Quorra propup generator is. But that's so
actually elaborate on that a little bit. So there is
the AI on top of just like all websites. Now,
if there's any question on the Internet, there's an AI
answer for it, but.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Specifically it answers the question. Yes, like it generates one,
so you go to Quora. It's not on everyone like
these unanswered ones. It wasn't there, but a lot of
times it's on a popular question. The AI will either
try to answer the question itself using like GPT, or
it'll be like a summary of everyone's answers. That's so
it feels like at some point the computer's just talking
(25:34):
to it.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
So yes, it really is.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
But these these questions that they're bothering me because they
don't even sound like I've seen the various models, like
I would say anthropics, Claude, more conversational chat, GPT very
much like a lobotomy situation, like very much like a
I have just recently had a lobotomy. But I know
everything written in this book I can read this is demented.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
It's really weird. There's something very off, and it's infecting
the Google AI too, because you know how if you
search something on Google now it'll come up with an
AI answer. Yes, Google is sourcing from Quorra for a
lot of these. So, like, there was a thing recently
where someone said, like when was running invented and Google
(26:18):
answers it says like nineteen forty five, and that was
because of a Quorra comment.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Well I know that was this where they had the
melting egg situation. So yeah, a lot of these are
from like Reddit and Quorra. So the melting egg situation
for the listeners was someone on Quorra I think asked
if you could melt an egg and then the AI
responded with yep, yeah, gotcha, of course.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
That's it's all very very weird.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But these questions don't feel like that. These questions feel.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Like joke of fout something you might ask in the future, yeah,
when you're an astronaut and.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You can't go home, yeah, or just something that a broken.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Like a yeah. I don't know if it's like trained
on Quora because Cora is already like where the sickos are,
So maybe it's just like training on specifically delusional people.
I really don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It must be trained on Cora because that's the only
way you'd get such weird. It must train on Quorra
as well, because they're running out of training data. Oh,
I really need to look into this. I would love
for someone to find out, because these questions are not
just like if I'm sure if I loaded chat GPT
and asked the question, it would be a normal one, right.
It wouldn't be like so when we all agree that
(27:31):
the horses were invented, just like we all know that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Of course, it's really I don't know. Yeah, some of
them are just like misinformation and oh any others? Is
Tesla considered a socialist company?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
That is the closest they've come to a normal question?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
How about this one? What are the reasons for California
having fewer natural disasters? Compared to other states.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Oh boy, yeah, oh boy, that one's that one again
closer to meaning, but just like it.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Just completely nonsensical. I'm trying to see when was this asked.
This was I think asked on January twelfth, so during
the fire right they asked. The AI was like, California
rocks at natural.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Is a yeah, these guys, these guys really missed these. Yeah,
they're traditionally California disaster free.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's really good.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Any other good ones?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Let me see, I think that's all the ones that
I wrote down. I have one more here. What is
the term for when a person's brain and physical body
are connected to two different people?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh h that's that's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, this is so strangely, it's really weird.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Concept is actually really bothering me because the idea of
a generative one. Sure it sucks, sure, but when it's
just like, so we all know that bores of course
have been president, but why can't they be king? And
it's like, no, actually that's too normal. That one made
no sense. That's like an understanding of there's a republic
(29:05):
versus monarchy situation, but we could get rid of that.
In most this is just these there must be something strange,
and you're saying that users do not like this.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
No, no one likes it. I mean if they can
even tell. And there's like questions where people are just
like why is this here, and like what is it?
But on most of these, like no one knows that
it's the AI, Like if there's any answers on it,
people are just like this is stupid.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
They hate you, right, which is the general response to
way I I found. Yeah, you don't use AIM good me.
No particularly No, No, you're not a big GP. Someone
said that to me on the phone, like you use
chat GPT every day. I see what I was like, Sure,
I know.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
So many people who use it for like emails and
all sorts of crazy shit that you would. I mean,
that's not what you're hearing about. That's not good. No,
it's crazy write an email.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, I that's so bad. But you still seem to
kind of love quorra though I do it you come out,
but why don't tell me?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I just like how pure it is, like they're that
that there are people just like I don't know, like
you could go on porn hub and just jack off
to whatever you want and you're sitting here being like
coming up with a situation to be like, what does
it feel like to have poop in your diaper? The
people in there? Do you have any non sexual what?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Just on the pervert zone. I do love the the section.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I love the perverts on Quorra. It makes me so
happy to see them really is quite happy, the fact
that they all have their full names. Be really happy.
I'm trying to think. I don't know. There's people ask
like silly relationship. It's like am I the asshole? But
like more like insane? Do you get a prevalence of
(30:45):
fake questions? Like I know?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
The sure there are relationship advice is like on Reddit
is like ninety percent people being like and time for
my fan fiction? Yeah, I will do the fan fiction now.
But Quorra seems more demented. It is.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I'm sure there's just as many fake ones, but they're
more obvious where it will be like I there's one
that was like my son wanted an Optimist prime toy
and I don't want him to or I didn't want
him to have it, so I made him hold his
breath for three days? Am I a bad dad? And
it's like it doesn't feel like the same as am
I the asshole?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Or someone made it like a boring relationship problem, And
one like that is very bean dad adjacent, where it's
like you think this is normal, it isn't.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah exactly, your son should breathe.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
It kind of reminds me from cs like the Samsung
No Sorry LG demo where the AI was like, yeah,
I heard your song cough last night, so I raised
the temperature five degrees. It's like you fucking insane, And I,
just for the sake of argument, opened up Quora and
thought it can't be that weird. First one, what was
the dirtiest country you ever visited?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
God? Just the annoying thing about Korra too, is that like,
if you visit it, if you like, really interact with
it at all, you'll start getting emails from it. Oh god,
the Korra digests. They'll send you like an email every day.
I'm sure I have him million of them in my email.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Why must farmers wake up at four am to milk
the cows? Why not just wait until a more reasonable time,
like a I am won't the cows adjust?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
It's a weird website. It's very strange.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm just what I have. Like this guy, I'm looking
him up as well. This is a system analyst.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah in Brazil, isn't it fast? I didn't know his life, Like,
it's not just Reddit where it's just like, oh you
slash whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
But also it's not even just that he like is
that guy, it's that he was just like one day like, well,
I got over from my job system analyst, and I thought,
why are these fucking idiot farmers get up.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And just there's a hunt.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
There's one hundred and thirty one different answers. Sorry, no,
the original question is from This is gonna be a
fucking AI one, isn't it. Let's see who I think.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Wait, it's very hard to find the answer. This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
The guy who responded was a systems analyst okay, and
he was saying he was too to his farm a friend.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
No you weren't, wait, so show me. Yeah. So you
have to go to a view question details huh, And
then you have to physically scroll through every answer to
get to the very bottom of the feed, and then
it will tell you who the question is and very
often notice like anonymous.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah, the farmers of the world will wake up early
to wake up the roosters. You see, if the roosters
don't wake up on time. Very funny. Yeah, while I'm
not a dairy farmer, I do associate with them. I'm
just I'm going to close that because I would just
read Core every day. But it is it does feel like,
even though it's being tortured with electricity, it does feel
(33:38):
like one of the last real parts of.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
The yati that I mean. It's like how we all
hated Reddit for so long and now if you have
any question you have to put Reddit at the end
of it when you Google it because otherwise you'll just
get ai swop or you know, seo.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Get one of fifteen different articles all on one hub.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
So it's like, sure, this is going to be from
some asshole who might not know, but at least it's
a human being.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Have you seen much because Reddit, I've started to see
some obvious spun con in the spunkn like people like
affiliate people, people going in selling that shit. Do you
get a lot of that in Qure there's.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
A little bit of it, but with Cora everything is
more obvious. So like, where's when we read recently? That
was we did a whole episode of Hitler questions because
there's a lot of Hitler people on there, and there
was somebody who was asking about like, did Hitler's have
high testosterone or something? How would you know? I don't know,
And they were like ted answers that were like I
(34:29):
think because of well, you know this reason if you
look at his male pattern baldness and his mustache. And
then at the end it was like, if you want
to learn more about high testosterone, you can take pills
from this website. And it was just like people advertising
their pills.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
There was some fucking SEO expert was like, all right,
let's bring out the Hitler stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yeah, it doesn't matter where my Hitler analysis I'm scrolling to.
I just the reason I'm doing this on areas I
wonder to be clear how much Korra is burying. Whether
a question is from AI. Yes, you have to go
right to the end of this, and there's one hundred answers. Yeah. So,
And it was actually answered by a guy called Taodo.
(35:08):
This is the question, yeah yeah, And he he asked,
do you have to have a full time job on
high income to take out a loan for a house?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
That's like a normal question nor These are like normal,
this is the farmer question. Yeah, yeah, it's weird. This
guy's sitting around just being like, huh, yeah, you get
a house. But I guess this is the pure inter
This is like the normal Internet a little bit. I mean,
it's like fucked up, but that's that's what.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
My people learn from their mistakes.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
That's a great question. What's a beautiful question.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
How can I get out of debt as quickly as possible?
I love these, but they're also very sad because they're like, well,
there's just a degree of like, no one else you
could ask, mate, Yeah, no one else, and you don't
want to google it. You have to.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
You need someone to answer you.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
How much money did Elon Musk have before he became
a multi billion I assume less than a billion dollars.
There's like a lot of picture. Oh my god, this
is a picture of my son and daughter. He passed
away in twenty fifteen at the age of twenty six
from heart failure.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
This is posted in Good Vibes. Well, it's interesting to me,
Like the farmer question is one thing, but if this
was on the profile of the guy who said, like,
what is the dirtiest country like, I'm just so fascinated
by these people who are like, I'm so racist, and
then they're just like, here's a picture of my daughter.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah, And all of their posts are different pages of
like like there's a thing with a cop. They've got
a lot of pictures of couples.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
This is on good Vibes.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
My daughter Becka passed away one year ago. This is
an AI account.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
This isn't a AI.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Well, considering the fact that they've now mentioned multiple children
of that.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Dight, Yeah, it's very possible it's AI or a troll
or something.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
But this is what it is now. This is this
site makes millions of dollars. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I yeah, it must make something. It was made by
people who left Facebook. I think they think it was
all people who worked on Facebook left to make quorra.
What's the worst version of Facebook?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
What should I absolutely not do when visiting the USA?
And the first one is do not get to have
your car stopped by the police that assumed you were
armed and they might shoot you. And there's a picture
of a cop that's AI generation truly monstrous, look with
like another cop, three fingers with like another cop, but
in a like a gray police uniform and doing something
a cop would not usually do, which is stop a
(37:23):
cop being And there's two thousand response. This is just
how was it always this bad?
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I don't think kra was ever good. I don't think
the version of it where Jordan Peterson became a famous
author was a better time for Quorra, But I mean
maybe it was more usable back then. At least.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I used to think that the most shameful thing about
Jordan Peterson was his opinions. But I think it's that
he got famous using cora that should get you. They
should take your passport just in case you answer questions
in real life.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
That's so horrible. It makes sense though, like thinking back
on what is the name of his book, like five
Ways Crying Principle. Yeah, I don't know, like it makes
sense that you'd be like, oh, yeah, that guy is
answering questions on quarter dot com.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
It feels like the kind of like a palace of pedantry,
like it do you get people on there who are
just like no, actually like yeah, you know, it's a
big one. We find a lot is witches, a lot
of likeing.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
So people will be like, how do I like put
a hex on someone at school I don't like, And
then a lot of people will be like, how dare
you ask this question? You don't know anything about being
a witch. You haven't read the spells, open a book.
The Necronomicon is free at a library. Like, it's just
people getting mad at each other.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Wait, so there are like witches and witch pedants.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Oh yeah, there's a lot of witch pedants. They're all
arguing with each other about witchcraft, like a lot of them.
Uh yeah, yeah, I mean not like not like you know,
it's not overwhelming, but we've we've you know, found a
bunch of these people who are arguing about witchcraft.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
See.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
I keep usclating between terrible and beautiful because I think
the idea of people being like, how dare you? Man?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
It's very similar to read it, but it's I don't know,
it's more stupid. It is gas leak. Reddit is a
good way to that.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
And are there any other weird subcultures like witches? I
don't know. I must kind of think there's any other.
There's a lot of perverse, a lot of cops. We
found a cop who wrote a book and we read
some of his book.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
What was the book? Like it.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
You know what it was. It was like his life
as a cop in London or something, oh a cop.
And we found out afterwards, like why would anyone write
or publish his book? And his brother owns like a
book publishing company, so all of his answers were like,
whoa I remember in nineteen eighty three in the streets
of London.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Yeah, okay, so he's a British cop.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, we do have a button. Whenever we find a
British person, we press our button and it says Anglo spotted.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Anglo spots it.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I like that a great deal and I'll be bringing
that onto the ship.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, take it, you're it the entire.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Yeah, they I really, I'm looked onto those witches now
they think about the Grinch.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Yeah, I mean, not to bring it all back to that,
but there are Grne fetishists. That's their whole Grinch people,
not necessarily on Quorra, but there are I know, people
love Bigfoot. I know people love the Grinch and he's
sort of big furry dude. That's they'll get in really good. Yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I just there is something very pure about this, but
pure in the way that like you don't want to
look at me unless you run away.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I will say a lot of people listen to our
podcast and have told us like it's really funny. And
I've gone on Quorra to be like, I want to
see some of this, and they're like, I hated it,
and it's like, yeah, that's dope. Leave it to us.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
No. I tried to prepare for this episode by looking
at Quorra being like, and I will bring some bangers around,
and there was nary a banger to be found. It's
just like people people being like, I go on, how
do I get on a plane and get to have
two seats for free? I am fucking like, why is
this person next to me on this flight? And it's
like it's questions that don't even need answer. The answer
(40:54):
is like who gives a shit to like ninety percent
of the questions, But we're the ones seeking out.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
You find the teen Hitler questions Why didn't Hitler use
the magical lance to defeat Russia or whatever?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
And some first response is like, all right, which magical lance?
First of all, what do you mean by magic? You
don't know about exactly?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
There was one that just on this Hitler episode that
was like, would Hitler have liked Princess Diana? Diana? And
which is a bizarre question, like why do you care
about this? And every answer with people being like of course,
obviously or like no, you idiot, he'd hate her for
this reason and he would.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
The answer there is obviously he might because he kind
of romanticized England.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
I wanted to live in fucking Whiteley's shopping center. It's
like a I'm trying to think of it, if someone
wanted to live in like the Westfield Mall in San Francisco.
It's so strangely the weird guy that ate off Hitler.
But this is obviously an anti Hitler podcast because you
need to say that now. Yes, six months from Fox
News is pro Hitless segment. They're kind of getting there.
(41:59):
So to wrap us up though, please, So okay, it
wasn't that bad. Do you are you going? How long
do you spend on Kora a week?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Would you say? I don't think we're spending too much time.
We're lucky that we have a few sikhs who will
find questions. They deliver you yes, which is very very
hard tree and then sometimes we will search stuff and
find it, but it's not We're not spending too too
much time on there. I was more than a few hours.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
I was wondering if there was like a madness you'd like,
you get into it too much.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
Maybe our listeners are all going insane. We don't realize it.
The ones who are finding these going into the minds.
Do you involve yourself to any of you? We answer
a lot of questions. Sometimes I used to ask questions
and like try to get answers from people, but they
were not really they were onto. It's pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
It doesn't feel like the kind of place that you
could fuck with very easily, because people would like to
be way too earnest or they'd be like, well, this
person's raking fun of me.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
And yet there's thousands, literally like thousands of Christian baby
questions that are I must be trolls, that's all. There's
so many.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
I think they might just be like thirteen to eighteen
year olds who have never spoken to a person.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
They're all great scenario. There's one those like, what would
you do if you're about to hit the winning strike
in a basic that's what they said, winning strike in
a baseball game, winning strike and the picture throws a
Christian baby at you win hit the baby, winning strike.
It's all bizarre.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
So you are about to okay, hit the winning strike, yes,
and you are being thrown at.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
A Christian baby instead of the ball. So two problems
as far as I know. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Well, also that is I don't think there are any
specific rules around that, but that sounds.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Like it's like a dog playing ball.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
If you are throwing a strike, you wouldn't be hitting it.
No good place to any Jeremy, Where can people find you?
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Just search my name online? Okay, say your I would
love if people checked out coarrators in there. Yeah, we've
done two hundred episodes. You should come on. I would
love to.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Yeah, And it's it's great to have people chronicling the
these parts of the Internet. Fine, And one of the
reasons I've brought you on other than you very funny,
is the Internet is kind of dying when it comes
to real people, and it's nice to see an evaluation
of what real people are really like, which isn't necessarily
a good thing. Now, well, talking about things that are good.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Live but recorded on tape from New York City the
iHeartRadio Studios. It's goddamn better offline And I'm the chief
of pigs at Zitron. Today I'm joined by Jeremy Capowitz
(00:28):
of the Coreators podcast, and I'm so excited to have
you here because your podcast has found I would say,
some of history's detritus. Yeah, it's become one of the
worst best places online. But just for the listeners who
may have just ignored Cora.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
What is Cora?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
Just?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Quorra is a website where you can ask questions and
then people answer it. But it is very much like
Reddit meets Facebook, I would say, right, so two of
the worst websites combined to you know, sort of like
a super saying way to create it even where website wonderful.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
So how long have you been doing the podcast?
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I've been doing in like two years, since September twenty
twenty two. And why what brought you to So? We
really wanted to do a podcast that wouldn't be hard
to do, right, it only figured Quorra has endless degenerates
to look at and point at and laugh at.
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Right, So what is your favorite one You've found recently.
Give me a good example.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
I'm trying to think there's a lot of like perverts
on Quorra. I'm listening. For some reason, people go to
Quora to like act out their sexual fantasies, but they
don't want to like see it, so they'll, I don't
know what it is. They'll they'll like write down a
question that's like have you ever had a girl pea
on you? And then like they'll be like they want
people be like, oh, yeah, what time it was? I
was so naughty? And I guess then they're jacking off
(01:46):
to it or something. We found a bunch of weird
We found a whole community of people who swim with
their clothes on okay, which I imagine is a fetish
of some kind, but they were all posting photos of
it and stuff. It's all these like older guys like
in lakes and pools.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
And they dressed how they dressed with normal clothes, like
just like walking around what you're in right now, okay
if you were taking like a sexy photoshoot of you jumping.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
Into a falling in a pool?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Yeah, And are there lots of these perverts on that realized.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
We're very pervert who many perverts. It's like cops and
perverts and racists, which could all be the same thing.
I mean, yeah, it's a weird it's a very weird website.
So but wait, the cops. What are the cops doing
on that? Cops? They're talking about safety. There's all these
like sub quoras that are like subreddits but for qua
(02:36):
and there's a lot of them that are like how
to deal with thugs in your neighborhood?
Speaker 2 (02:39):
But wait, so you say the sub chorus, Yeah, is
this being people published there as well? It's not just
questioning answer.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I mean those are where people are still doing questions,
but they're like collecting them in a group.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Like how do I stop the stumbag from shooting?
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yes, And there's a lot of like retired cops who
are like writing novels insane. A lot of them literally
are writing books of like because a lot of people
have become famous on Core. The big one is Jordan Peterson.
Jordan Peterson got his start answering Cora questions and people
are like, you should put this in a book, and then.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Those people, we should find those people, yes and stop them.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
How do I deal with the fact that, yeah, the
Shrek and Fiona should not be to Kevin like right,
but really he came from Cora.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
That makes me so angry.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
With Cora created Jordan Peterson.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
That is fucking horrible.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It's really sad.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
What was he asking about?
Speaker 1 (03:32):
He was answering, So he's a big answerer. So he's
the guy going in there being like, actually, if you
swim in your clothes, it's a better fold around your penis.
I don't like the idea of pervert. I like to
be called a sauctorial.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yet that's horrible and they must be even are there
any other famous Kora freaks.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
I think he's the only one who became famous from Korra,
but orson Scott kard is on there. He is the
author of enders Game ow who he wrote a bunch
of sci fi novels and is like famously a insane crank.
I don't know if you know anything about him. I don't.
So he wrote enders Game, which is a book about
the government abducting children and making them fight wars against aliens,
right right, totally normal staff happens. And then in like
(04:14):
the two thousands he went crazy and he's like very Mormon,
and he was like super anti Obama. He was like,
if Obama wins, there will be gangs of black people
going around the country killing everybody. Oh my god. So
he was you know, obviously write about some stuff, but no,
he was crazy that he he's like super duper like
(04:38):
anti gay people, even though his books are like very
homo erotic. And there's like this very famous, very strange
and Enders game where Ender beats the guy up by
soaping himself. He gets really naked and then puts soap
over his body so that the bad guy can't like
catch him. He's like a very strange dude, that is,
but he was a big core guy. Yeah, he's still
on there to this, he's just I don't know.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I can look, but it means I just love the
idea because see what he's up to Cora seems horrible.
Just want to be abundantly clear because I was a
yah who answers freak, but I was just someone who looked.
I just it was like an ANSWER's voyeur. And there's
of course the very famous y'all who answers, how is
Babby formed?
Speaker 1 (05:17):
Now go get pregnant?
Speaker 2 (05:19):
I need to do way and stay mother who killed
dea Babby's I could say the whole thing, but I won't.
But Cora feels different somehow. It feels like it's got
a degree of LinkedIn poisoning almost.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah. There's also full names on there, so.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
It's all like, no one's anonymous, some people are.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I mean, we've come across one guy whose name is
I Am a Pizza and he posts every day he
asked how can I get eaten? Okay, just so he's
not I don't think that's his legal name, but he's
on there.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Just my name is I'm a Pizza.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
I Am a Pizza is his name?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
And is it just questions around how he can get eaten?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Yeah, that's literally what it is.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
How can I get someone to eat me? How can
I get eaten? Every day?
Speaker 2 (05:57):
It's nothing sexual, I mean, I mean perhaps just the
process of being sexual, like of course, sure, that's are
there a lot of bit style accounts like that.
Speaker 1 (06:07):
There definitely are. There's definitely trolls on there. There's a
lot of Christian baby questions. That's a big thing on quorra, like, uh,
what would you do if you're skydiving with a Christian
baby and the baby says I'm not gonna pull my
parachute unless you renounce atheism and.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Accept Jesus Christ. Okay, well they asposed to be a gotcha.
The answer there is just I'll say whatever I need to.
It's a fucking bab exactly. They're very stupid, like just
they're not intellectuals. That there's hundreds of it, And how
are the responses? Do people take them very seriously or
do they take them more like they they kind of like,
is it like Twitter where you get like fifty percent
(06:44):
honest people and fifty percent yeah being on funn.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well it's not Twitter because they're not unfunny, but it'll
be fifty percent people answering it and fifty percent people
being like, how dare you bring this to my question
website where discourse is meant to be done.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Wait, so got card back? Oh okay, okay, so that's
answered three hours ago, four hours ago. He's there every day.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Get a job. I know he's on there just people
being like, well, how do you write a book? And
he's like, I wrote enders game in nineteen seventy.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Five, and back then I had the dinosaur that you're
back on the head. Yeah, that's that's like this listeners
who are not gonna love that.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
Yeah, it's just a lot of stuff about what he's
just giving, like relationship advice.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
In some spots it's not brilliant, but he's still anything
you've told me about. Is there a large like relationship advice?
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Sure, Yeah, there's definitely that kind of stuff. There's a
lot of like famously bad ones where it's hard to
tell if it's like legit. I mean there's just children
on there who being like how do I get this
girl to like me or whatever?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
And in some ways that feels quite honest, like what
the Internet is really form. But with the perverts and
degenerates on that, it's pretty bad.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
That there's a place that we have found a bunch
of times called like teen Fund Zone. Those were like
teens to hang out, and it's just like, how many
of these people are undercover cops? Like that's my question
from how many of them are scenes? Probably a small percent.
Speaker 2 (08:00):
And so you've seen the generative AI aspect, right, yes, Yeah,
So there's this thing now called Quora prompt Generator.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Oh good, that is making questions that they think people
want to ask in the future, and it's like very hidden.
You have to to even find the question answer in general,
Enqure's like the worst UI. You have to like click
on like three dots and then go down to question
log and then scroll all the way to the bottom
and see the question. And now it'll just say like
created by a Quora prompt AI or whatever. And it's
(08:30):
just these bizarre questions we've come across from right now
and then.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
And when you've got any fun examples, Yeah, I have
so many of them, Please please shod them because I
think we should both listen to them and answer.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Okay, this is one that we've found on our podcast. Right,
should the Grinch be able to kill a who whenever
he wants? According to Halloween is Grinch Night? So that
is completely generative. Yeah, that, I mean, I don't quite
know how it works. Apparently it's like scrubbing these from somewhere,
like I saw some people suggest, because there's no like
answer from core. They don't tell you, like they're not saying,
(09:01):
like you've announced our new AI.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
It's just going over that again. Halloween Night.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Yeah, I think we looked this up Halloween as Grinch
Night was like a movie from like the eighties or something.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Did it bequeath the Grinch with like a license to kill,
Like is this a purge situation?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I really I don't know.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
But what were the answers?
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Like, So this one had no answers on it.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Why not?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
And we made sure just to like keep things above board,
we wrote no Grinches should have to respond to their programming,
just so the computer knows.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Grinches should have to. So this is the suggestion that
Grinch is some sort of autumaton.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Like, I don't know, I just feel like I.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Take questions very seriously on this podcast, So.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Like I just don't like that the computer is asking,
like is it cool to kill?
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Ye? And then we're all like no, on the terms
of Halloween Night the Grinch right about Grinch should not kill?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Mmmm any other good ones? Because I be thinking about
Halloween Knight. This is a continuation of this theme. This
the computer asked, how can someone live with a decomposed
body in the fridge for months without others noticing they
live alone? Like that's the answer, But.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
Doesn't it feel like the computer wants to know?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Yeah, it does, you know what I'm saying. The person
asked both of these questions. Yeah, you'd be like, are
you the grunch is that your fra are you gonna
kill someone?
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Did you kill someone? Do you have a decomposing body
in our house?
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Yeah? The really answer is that they just tell people
that they have a smelly apartment or whatever. Yeah, that's what.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Just be a loser. Yeah, just don't let anyone in
your apartment when the body's there.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I understand that the AI isn't thinking that it's just
the next word generator, but it's concerning that that's the
next words that it's generating.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
Adam DiAngelo to see. Of course he's on the board
of Open AI. Yeah, he was part of the people
being like, we have to bring back Samuel when we
need this technology. We need this technology, we need Cora
to come up with crazy questions. I actually think that
this is kind of almost a sign of the future
for what meta is going to.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
Be, Like, yeah, I think that's right.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
It's are the tons like does it just still out
all day?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There's like people have like there's a community where people
like find their favorite ones and right, right, so that
I found like ten of them that I put in.
There's this one's just like false infots. How much territory
did America acquire from the purchase of Greenland.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Okay, so it's just like really good. Yeah, so this
is how much of this is there on the deal.
So you say it's quite hard to find the generator,
right or is it hard to find these questions?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Well, it's hard to find the if you go to
like the generator doesn't give you a list of them.
So it's just like this was made by quorra Ai
and to find the actual question, like, it's just a
pain in the ass where I can show you. So
that kind of burying them back. Yeah, So like if
this is what the question looks like, it just looks
like somebody is asking a regular question and there's all
these people answering and there's related questions. And to know
(11:57):
that it's cora a, I have to go to more
and then you go to view question in details and
then it says prompt.
Speaker 2 (12:02):
Oh yeah. So just for the listeners, I'll post a
link to something like this as well. So what this
means is you can get these questions and they appear
like they're asked by a human, yes, except they're written
like yeah, like somewhat a human that has a guest lead.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, exactly. And it says it's prompts are intended to
capture questions people may have in the future.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
Just me walking around my house being like, well, what
if the crunch could kill people Halloween? And shit, well
I don't have time. Well, thankfully they've already asked it,
but no one answered, right, yeah, just be You know
what the best thing is going to be when they
just have them answer it and they have an AI
answer it. You just have an auto qua.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Yeah, I'm sure there are AI answers. Oh, I'm sure
he's coming across some that feel like, I mean, it
could just be weird people.
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But that's the thing. It sounds like you've got like
a perversion element that really throws that.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I am both disappointed and.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
Happy to hear about the amounts of perverts theater det
But that.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Kind of means the quorra is keeping up.
Speaker 2 (13:00):
But actually it sounds like they're really trying to fill
like plummet with this fucking AI shit.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, they said that something to do with like they
just want more questions on the site.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
Yes, of course they do, so, yeah, keep looking at
the site. But the UI of the site does not
appear to have changed.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Now, it's terrible it's really bad.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I will admit the reason I don't use Cora, other
than the fact that I know everything, is every time
I go on there, I'll be like, oh, click on,
I'll look for a question. It would be like a
question to when I's like, I don't know, like who
do you think the best baseball player in this year?
It is like because I only started watching baseball fairly recently,
and it will be like answer then like an ad
of some sort, then like a wallet Hub sponsored piece
(13:41):
of content, being like how do I save one thousand
dollars a month? And it's just eighteen affiliate lens. Yeah,
this feels like it's the advertising elements taken over Cora.
But these don't even seem like they're advertising.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
They just feel like it's bizarre. And there's also if
Sometimes you'll see an answer that's like really long and
you're like, oh, that's interesting, and it'll cut off and
be like you have to subscribe to Kora plus for
five dollars a month. It's just the better answers are
on there. I guess, are you fucking serious? It's the
worst website? What the fuck is that? It's really bad?
But the good thing about core is that you people
(14:13):
put their full names and like address. So sometimes we'll
find a guy who's like, you know, every one of
their posts is like I love to shit in a diaper.
I get off on its actually, and then they'll be like,
I live in this town in Indiana. Here's my full
name and photo. That's it's so weird.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
It's like you've got like a combination of ai islap
and just the purest old school Internet disgusting people.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
Yeah, so okay, we've got a perverts, we've got our cops.
Are there any other weird subcultures you've noticed on there?
Speaker 1 (14:50):
There's a lot of politics on there, a lot of
people argument from There's like a bunch of like Trump
and and you know Democrat spaces that battle it out
where people say like is uh old bo I'm about
to get arrested tomorrow and people are like, no, he's not.
He's our greatest man alive. And they go back and forth,
and there's memes.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So it's not even like a necessarily logical questions.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's like, yeah, just total like QAnon stuff is on there, and.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
So it's not particularly moderated them not really, No, there's
not does it seem to be eddie moderation on Cora.
Do you see any kind of like hate speech? Hate speech?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
Oh yeah, all the time, people say, oh, there's definitely
like sorters on Gora. We found a guy recently who
said his bio said we need a white president. She said,
American Americans for white president Jesus Christ. Yeah, and sometimes again,
sometimes it's both, Like we found one that was like
why did Joe Biden let Obama make him his slave
(15:45):
and all that stuff? And then like right after it'll
be like, how do I get like my sister to
fall in love with me? Like it's like, wait, what
We'll be combined the perverts and the races.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
Oh my god? So are there any like so there
must be sports people? Are they all giving two? Is
everyone just kind of arguing all the time?
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You know what, None of us on our podcast are
really sports people. So maybe there is and we're just
not seeing it. But I haven't interacted too much with
sports Quorra, but I'm sure they're on no and they
must be insane. Yeah, I'm still I'm still blown away
that there was a Cora. Plus. Yeah, it's it's bizarre.
We refuse to pay for it. We're not.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
I don't want to do it this podcast a while.
That's so good, that's so good that you staid fastly. Yeah,
you dollars.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I have emailed him many times as.
Speaker 2 (16:34):
He does not he does not get he doesn't get
back to you, Adam D'Angelo. It's a permanent thing. The
coreators will have you on and you can come on
better offline as well. But I only have very specific
questions around Halloween night, and then you will leave. I
have no further question.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
Now, that's what I know. If a Gridge is allowed
to kill a who and.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
He said a grinch, right, I think it was.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Actually, let's check.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
This oute because I feel like the proper like, if
it's the owner of that, shouldn't the Grench be able to.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Kill who whenever he wants?
Speaker 2 (17:02):
Because I feel like that question comes down to whether
you consider the grinch a person or a race.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
Like a real man. Yeah, she's allowed to kill.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
Just the very person of color whenever he wants, harassed
for his religious beliefs, a.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Person of green color. Yeah. I've emailed Adam, I've emailed
Jordan Beaters, I've evailed Dorses, got card, all of them
just being like hello, I have a podcast that celebrates
Cora that you're my favorite website, just trying to be
like really nice, but none of them will play it.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
Yeah, I take sam Otman. Sure, No, I got I
had got his number. I've said it multiple times on
the show. I've texted him. And then one time I
terror as a few friends by. I was at a
hotel and I stepped on the side of a balcony
and I took a photo and I put it in
the chat box that sam Oman. I said, I bet
you would love this. I said, I really should have
have every answered you. No, no, no, he is not.
(17:50):
But he's not blocked me.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
That's good.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
I'm still getting blue reading he's That's the thing. There
is a little bit of joy of just knowing that
sam Otan's forwarding these two his pr people, being like
he's he message.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Just just letting you know about this.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
He keeps asking me about Halloween night, and he asked
me if I am A or the Grinch.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And I'm not sure how he's the great.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
He's the great. It's he's just I this is not
a tech episode, so who gives a ship? But we're
currently in the post Deep Seek world, right now, which
I think is really funny, and how you bring that
back to Quorra is now they're going to be able
to make so many more generative answers for so much cheaper,
(18:35):
We're going to be able to see these demented things.
Do you have any questions from from the AI generated
ones about like life though, like life decisions stuff or
because I think that my favorite thing with Yahu answers
was the more innocent stuff sure, where people would say, like,
how do I get a girl to fall in love
with me? My friend is mad at me?
Speaker 1 (18:56):
How do I deal with that?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
And then the just most in saying you get like normal,
normal normal than someone being like doesn't sound like much
of a friend, even though the story is about you
offending the friend.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Yeah, I was really extremely.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Rude to me, Like, no, he's not real. She'd just
understand you. You would, you were justified in screaming at him.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
I'm trying to see if we have any like nice.
I mean, there's certainly a lot.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
But no, I don't mean nice. I just mean is
the AI asking a life question? Because I want to
see how the AI thinks about life?
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Do any animals refer to they're young? As baby or
child like humans do.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
Fuck. Yes, that's such a large language model lost question. Yeah,
you just like, well, of course animals act like humans.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Right, they're all kind. That saved the baby, Yes, fuck
it does.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
My cat does a There's just every time I think
about these fucking questions, it just kind of begins to
boil what's left of my brain more questions.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
Let's go through these.
Speaker 2 (19:49):
I want to know all of these fucking things.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
Is it common for doctors to keep umbilical cords? Why
is it?
Speaker 4 (19:55):
Why would it?
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Ai write that, Like, I get that it's not a
robot the computer, but it just feels like it being like,
what is all of these freaks?
Speaker 2 (20:04):
It's just it's just the GPT four being like humans
are so fucking weird? Why did he doctor? Wait, just
run that question by me.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Okay? Is it common for doctors to keep umbilical courts? Okay?
So there, it's just like, ah, yeah, I bet they
do that, but how often? And then all the comments
are people being like, no, this is a weird question.
Why would you ask it? I would, but they don't
know that it's the robot.
Speaker 2 (20:29):
I would not be able to help myself responding to
the fake doctor kind of like.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
All the time just saw you could just get a
stock photo of you, you know, a guy in a
lab coat and just feel like I'm a doctor.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
Doctor genius. But wait, some more questions. Okay, I'm excited
by these. These are very good.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Did adam and you've celebrate Christmas? If so? How it's
so good? They're often like a weird way.
Speaker 2 (20:57):
They're often a way that's like they have a full
understand yeah meaning, but not context or history.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
No, not even meaning.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
It's just like these applausible sentences.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Yeah, yeah, but not it makes no sense if you
know what any of the words mean.
Speaker 2 (21:14):
That's so weird though, because surely it knows that Christmas is.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I don't think it. I don't know how to know.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
I want to know. These are so the more I
think about them, the stranger they get, because it's like
these are questions that if you heard someone say them
out loud, you go, yeah, I don't know, and then
take a step back by wait, what the fuck are
you talking about? But this is all of them?
Speaker 1 (21:36):
But let's let's see what. There's a lot of answers
on this too, Like people are answering, some people are
being serious they're saying like, no, that's not possible because
you know Christmas was after that, and then other people
are like, none of it's real, so none of it.
Of course they can't because they're not real. Right, there's
people just being like silly. But yeah, that people, there's
no way to know that it's an AI, and you
wouldn't think it was. You'd think it's a.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Child or something, well, like someone with a gas leak. Yeah,
it's like, yeah, it's the kind of shit that you'd
say if you, like were walking out of a car,
right exactly.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (22:06):
But the more of these there, I'm so glad you
brought these today because I really want to Is it
true that astronauts are not allowed to touch the Earth?
Speaker 1 (22:16):
I don't know what that needs.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
This is the other day someone told me this the
other day. Another ready answers on that one.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I have to imagine it's just people being like, how
dare you? No no answers on this one.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yet, it's so bizarre. And again this is there's no
real quick way of seeing this is AI. No.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
No, Yeah, it doesn't show you on the screen. You
have to go into like more settings, answer a question
log and then it'll show you there.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
So deeply decentive. When did you start seeing these pop up?
Speaker 1 (22:47):
So our whole thing is that we just dos people
all the time on our podcast, So if you ask
a question, we want to read your full names. So
we just started figuring out, like anytime we read a
crazy question, we're like, who asked this? What's their deal?
A lot of people are from like India. We found
coarters really big in India, much bigger in India than
the US. But then you know, every now and then
we'd come across a crazy question like can astronauts touched
(23:07):
the ground? Be like who the fuck asked this? And
we click on it and it's like the AI and
we're just like yeah, wow, and it's just more and
more has been happening. Strange question.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
Is the earth capitalized in that one? I think so yeah, yeah,
that makes the meaning even stranger. Yeah, because I thought, okay,
touch the ground maybe like if it's earth, I don't know,
like a like Americans don't tend to refer to the
ground as earth that much like in England, I've heard
people say that. So this is so fucking cool, though
it's really is bizarre. Any other good ones that going through.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
What horses have been invented if they did not already exist?
What factors contribute to the invention of new animals?
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Okay, just run that by me again.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Would you would horses have been invented if they did
not already exist? What factors contribute to the invention of
new animals?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
There's something wrong with this this on I'm.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Like, okay again, I understand that it's just predictive text,
but it does feel like the computer being like I'm
a new animal of sorts. How do Yeah, we do
invent animals. I mean humans invented dogs.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
And there are like ligos and such can make two things.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Fuck all the time.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yeah, probably should get off that subject. We'll get off
to really your choice the numerous but listen to the show.
You're loved and accepted. If you make it someone else's problem,
I'm coming for you.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Go at it on Quora, but you're happy to discuss.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
I think what it is is that this doesn't even
sound like chat GPT. No.
Speaker 1 (24:32):
Yeah, I don't know what it is. I'm not sure
what I think so, but there's no like again, there's
no Quora hasn't said what it is. Like everything I've
found about it is people either just guessing like in
the core discussed cause ever there's a million questions that
are like what is this and why is it here?
I hate it? So people are just like guessing, and
then some people will ask because there's a Quora AI
(24:53):
assistant now where it'll the AI is at the top
of every answer and every question and it tries to
answer every question. So the AI will be like, this
is what the Quorra propup generator is. But that's so
actually elaborate on that a little bit. So there is
the AI on top of just like all websites. Now,
if there's any question on the Internet, there's an AI
answer for it, but.
Speaker 2 (25:13):
Specifically it answers the question. Yes, like it generates one,
so you go to Quora. It's not on everyone like
these unanswered ones. It wasn't there, but a lot of
times it's on a popular question. The AI will either
try to answer the question itself using like GPT, or
it'll be like a summary of everyone's answers. That's so
it feels like at some point the computer's just talking
(25:34):
to it.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
So yes, it really is.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
But these these questions that they're bothering me because they
don't even sound like I've seen the various models, like
I would say anthropics, Claude, more conversational chat, GPT very
much like a lobotomy situation, like very much like a
I have just recently had a lobotomy. But I know
everything written in this book I can read this is demented.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
It's really weird. There's something very off, and it's infecting
the Google AI too, because you know how if you
search something on Google now it'll come up with an
AI answer. Yes, Google is sourcing from Quorra for a
lot of these. So, like, there was a thing recently
where someone said, like when was running invented and Google
(26:18):
answers it says like nineteen forty five, and that was
because of a Quorra comment.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
Well I know that was this where they had the
melting egg situation. So yeah, a lot of these are
from like Reddit and Quorra. So the melting egg situation
for the listeners was someone on Quorra I think asked
if you could melt an egg and then the AI
responded with yep, yeah, gotcha, of course.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
That's it's all very very weird.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
But these questions don't feel like that. These questions feel.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
Like joke of fout something you might ask in the future, yeah,
when you're an astronaut and.
Speaker 2 (26:53):
You can't go home, yeah, or just something that a broken.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Like a yeah. I don't know if it's like trained
on Quora because Cora is already like where the sickos are,
So maybe it's just like training on specifically delusional people.
I really don't know.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
It must be trained on Cora because that's the only
way you'd get such weird. It must train on Quorra
as well, because they're running out of training data. Oh,
I really need to look into this. I would love
for someone to find out, because these questions are not
just like if I'm sure if I loaded chat GPT
and asked the question, it would be a normal one, right.
It wouldn't be like so when we all agree that
(27:31):
the horses were invented, just like we all know that.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Of course, it's really I don't know. Yeah, some of
them are just like misinformation and oh any others? Is
Tesla considered a socialist company?
Speaker 2 (27:43):
That is the closest they've come to a normal question?
Speaker 1 (27:48):
How about this one? What are the reasons for California
having fewer natural disasters? Compared to other states.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Oh boy, yeah, oh boy, that one's that one again
closer to meaning, but just like it.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
Just completely nonsensical. I'm trying to see when was this asked.
This was I think asked on January twelfth, so during
the fire right they asked. The AI was like, California
rocks at natural.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
Is a yeah, these guys, these guys really missed these. Yeah,
they're traditionally California disaster free.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
That's really good.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Any other good ones?
Speaker 1 (28:24):
Let me see, I think that's all the ones that
I wrote down. I have one more here. What is
the term for when a person's brain and physical body
are connected to two different people?
Speaker 2 (28:35):
Oh h that's that's a tough one.
Speaker 1 (28:38):
Yeah, this is so strangely, it's really weird.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
Concept is actually really bothering me because the idea of
a generative one. Sure it sucks, sure, but when it's
just like, so we all know that bores of course
have been president, but why can't they be king? And
it's like, no, actually that's too normal. That one made
no sense. That's like an understanding of there's a republic
(29:05):
versus monarchy situation, but we could get rid of that.
In most this is just these there must be something strange,
and you're saying that users do not like this.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
No, no one likes it. I mean if they can
even tell. And there's like questions where people are just
like why is this here, and like what is it?
But on most of these, like no one knows that
it's the AI, Like if there's any answers on it,
people are just like this is stupid.
Speaker 2 (29:26):
They hate you, right, which is the general response to
way I I found. Yeah, you don't use AIM good me.
No particularly No, No, you're not a big GP. Someone
said that to me on the phone, like you use
chat GPT every day. I see what I was like, Sure,
I know.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
So many people who use it for like emails and
all sorts of crazy shit that you would. I mean,
that's not what you're hearing about. That's not good. No,
it's crazy write an email.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Yeah, I that's so bad. But you still seem to
kind of love quorra though I do it you come out,
but why don't tell me?
Speaker 1 (29:57):
I just like how pure it is, like they're that
that there are people just like I don't know, like
you could go on porn hub and just jack off
to whatever you want and you're sitting here being like
coming up with a situation to be like, what does
it feel like to have poop in your diaper? The
people in there? Do you have any non sexual what?
Speaker 2 (30:16):
Just on the pervert zone. I do love the the section.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
I love the perverts on Quorra. It makes me so
happy to see them really is quite happy, the fact
that they all have their full names. Be really happy.
I'm trying to think. I don't know. There's people ask
like silly relationship. It's like am I the asshole? But
like more like insane? Do you get a prevalence of
(30:45):
fake questions? Like I know?
Speaker 2 (30:47):
The sure there are relationship advice is like on Reddit
is like ninety percent people being like and time for
my fan fiction? Yeah, I will do the fan fiction now.
But Quorra seems more demented. It is.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
I'm sure there's just as many fake ones, but they're
more obvious where it will be like I there's one
that was like my son wanted an Optimist prime toy
and I don't want him to or I didn't want
him to have it, so I made him hold his
breath for three days? Am I a bad dad? And
it's like it doesn't feel like the same as am
I the asshole?
Speaker 2 (31:18):
Or someone made it like a boring relationship problem, And
one like that is very bean dad adjacent, where it's
like you think this is normal, it isn't.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
Yeah exactly, your son should breathe.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
It kind of reminds me from cs like the Samsung
No Sorry LG demo where the AI was like, yeah,
I heard your song cough last night, so I raised
the temperature five degrees. It's like you fucking insane, And I,
just for the sake of argument, opened up Quora and
thought it can't be that weird. First one, what was
the dirtiest country you ever visited?
Speaker 4 (31:46):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (31:46):
God? Just the annoying thing about Korra too, is that like,
if you visit it, if you like, really interact with
it at all, you'll start getting emails from it. Oh god,
the Korra digests. They'll send you like an email every day.
I'm sure I have him million of them in my email.
Speaker 2 (32:01):
Why must farmers wake up at four am to milk
the cows? Why not just wait until a more reasonable time,
like a I am won't the cows adjust?
Speaker 1 (32:09):
It's a weird website. It's very strange.
Speaker 2 (32:12):
I'm just what I have. Like this guy, I'm looking
him up as well. This is a system analyst.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Yeah in Brazil, isn't it fast? I didn't know his life, Like,
it's not just Reddit where it's just like, oh you
slash whatever.
Speaker 2 (32:22):
But also it's not even just that he like is
that guy, it's that he was just like one day like, well,
I got over from my job system analyst, and I thought,
why are these fucking idiot farmers get up.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
And just there's a hunt.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
There's one hundred and thirty one different answers. Sorry, no,
the original question is from This is gonna be a
fucking AI one, isn't it. Let's see who I think.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Wait, it's very hard to find the answer. This is crazy.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
The guy who responded was a systems analyst okay, and
he was saying he was too to his farm a friend.
Speaker 1 (33:01):
No you weren't, wait, so show me. Yeah. So you
have to go to a view question details huh, And
then you have to physically scroll through every answer to
get to the very bottom of the feed, and then
it will tell you who the question is and very
often notice like anonymous.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah, the farmers of the world will wake up early
to wake up the roosters. You see, if the roosters
don't wake up on time. Very funny. Yeah, while I'm
not a dairy farmer, I do associate with them. I'm
just I'm going to close that because I would just
read Core every day. But it is it does feel like,
even though it's being tortured with electricity, it does feel
(33:38):
like one of the last real parts of.
Speaker 1 (33:40):
The yati that I mean. It's like how we all
hated Reddit for so long and now if you have
any question you have to put Reddit at the end
of it when you Google it because otherwise you'll just
get ai swop or you know, seo.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
Get one of fifteen different articles all on one hub.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
So it's like, sure, this is going to be from
some asshole who might not know, but at least it's
a human being.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
Have you seen much because Reddit, I've started to see
some obvious spun con in the spunkn like people like
affiliate people, people going in selling that shit. Do you
get a lot of that in Qure there's.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
A little bit of it, but with Cora everything is
more obvious. So like, where's when we read recently? That
was we did a whole episode of Hitler questions because
there's a lot of Hitler people on there, and there
was somebody who was asking about like, did Hitler's have
high testosterone or something? How would you know? I don't know,
And they were like ted answers that were like I
(34:29):
think because of well, you know this reason if you
look at his male pattern baldness and his mustache. And
then at the end it was like, if you want
to learn more about high testosterone, you can take pills
from this website. And it was just like people advertising
their pills.
Speaker 2 (34:43):
There was some fucking SEO expert was like, all right,
let's bring out the Hitler stuff.
Speaker 1 (34:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yeah, it doesn't matter where my Hitler analysis I'm scrolling to.
I just the reason I'm doing this on areas I
wonder to be clear how much Korra is burying. Whether
a question is from AI. Yes, you have to go
right to the end of this, and there's one hundred answers. Yeah. So,
And it was actually answered by a guy called Taodo.
(35:08):
This is the question, yeah yeah, And he he asked,
do you have to have a full time job on
high income to take out a loan for a house?
Speaker 1 (35:16):
That's like a normal question nor These are like normal,
this is the farmer question. Yeah, yeah, it's weird. This
guy's sitting around just being like, huh, yeah, you get
a house. But I guess this is the pure inter
This is like the normal Internet a little bit. I mean,
it's like fucked up, but that's that's what.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
My people learn from their mistakes.
Speaker 1 (35:33):
That's a great question. What's a beautiful question.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
How can I get out of debt as quickly as possible?
I love these, but they're also very sad because they're like, well,
there's just a degree of like, no one else you
could ask, mate, Yeah, no one else, and you don't
want to google it. You have to.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
You need someone to answer you.
Speaker 2 (35:51):
How much money did Elon Musk have before he became
a multi billion I assume less than a billion dollars.
There's like a lot of picture. Oh my god, this
is a picture of my son and daughter. He passed
away in twenty fifteen at the age of twenty six
from heart failure.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
This is posted in Good Vibes. Well, it's interesting to me,
Like the farmer question is one thing, but if this
was on the profile of the guy who said, like,
what is the dirtiest country like, I'm just so fascinated
by these people who are like, I'm so racist, and
then they're just like, here's a picture of my daughter.
Speaker 2 (36:24):
Yeah, And all of their posts are different pages of
like like there's a thing with a cop. They've got
a lot of pictures of couples.
Speaker 1 (36:33):
This is on good Vibes.
Speaker 2 (36:34):
My daughter Becka passed away one year ago. This is
an AI account.
Speaker 1 (36:38):
This isn't a AI.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
Well, considering the fact that they've now mentioned multiple children
of that.
Speaker 1 (36:43):
Dight, Yeah, it's very possible it's AI or a troll
or something.
Speaker 2 (36:47):
But this is what it is now. This is this
site makes millions of dollars. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
I yeah, it must make something. It was made by
people who left Facebook. I think they think it was
all people who worked on Facebook left to make quorra.
What's the worst version of Facebook?
Speaker 2 (37:02):
What should I absolutely not do when visiting the USA?
And the first one is do not get to have
your car stopped by the police that assumed you were
armed and they might shoot you. And there's a picture
of a cop that's AI generation truly monstrous, look with
like another cop, three fingers with like another cop, but
in a like a gray police uniform and doing something
a cop would not usually do, which is stop a
(37:23):
cop being And there's two thousand response. This is just
how was it always this bad?
Speaker 1 (37:31):
I don't think kra was ever good. I don't think
the version of it where Jordan Peterson became a famous
author was a better time for Quorra, But I mean
maybe it was more usable back then. At least.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
I used to think that the most shameful thing about
Jordan Peterson was his opinions. But I think it's that
he got famous using cora that should get you. They
should take your passport just in case you answer questions
in real life.
Speaker 1 (37:54):
That's so horrible. It makes sense though, like thinking back
on what is the name of his book, like five
Ways Crying Principle. Yeah, I don't know, like it makes
sense that you'd be like, oh, yeah, that guy is
answering questions on quarter dot com.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
It feels like the kind of like a palace of pedantry,
like it do you get people on there who are
just like no, actually like yeah, you know, it's a
big one. We find a lot is witches, a lot
of likeing.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
So people will be like, how do I like put
a hex on someone at school I don't like, And
then a lot of people will be like, how dare
you ask this question? You don't know anything about being
a witch. You haven't read the spells, open a book.
The Necronomicon is free at a library. Like, it's just
people getting mad at each other.
Speaker 2 (38:35):
Wait, so there are like witches and witch pedants.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Oh yeah, there's a lot of witch pedants. They're all
arguing with each other about witchcraft, like a lot of them.
Uh yeah, yeah, I mean not like not like you know,
it's not overwhelming, but we've we've you know, found a
bunch of these people who are arguing about witchcraft.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
See.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
I keep usclating between terrible and beautiful because I think
the idea of people being like, how dare you? Man?
Speaker 1 (38:59):
It's very similar to read it, but it's I don't know,
it's more stupid. It is gas leak. Reddit is a
good way to that.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
I like that.
Speaker 1 (39:06):
And are there any other weird subcultures like witches? I
don't know. I must kind of think there's any other.
There's a lot of perverse, a lot of cops. We
found a cop who wrote a book and we read
some of his book.
Speaker 2 (39:19):
What was the book? Like it.
Speaker 1 (39:20):
You know what it was. It was like his life
as a cop in London or something, oh a cop.
And we found out afterwards, like why would anyone write
or publish his book? And his brother owns like a
book publishing company, so all of his answers were like,
whoa I remember in nineteen eighty three in the streets
of London.
Speaker 2 (39:37):
Yeah, okay, so he's a British cop.
Speaker 1 (39:39):
Yeah, we do have a button. Whenever we find a
British person, we press our button and it says Anglo spotted.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
Anglo spots it.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
I like that a great deal and I'll be bringing
that onto the ship.
Speaker 1 (39:50):
Yeah, take it, you're it the entire.
Speaker 2 (39:53):
Yeah, they I really, I'm looked onto those witches now
they think about the Grinch.
Speaker 1 (39:58):
Yeah, I mean, not to bring it all back to that,
but there are Grne fetishists. That's their whole Grinch people,
not necessarily on Quorra, but there are I know, people
love Bigfoot. I know people love the Grinch and he's
sort of big furry dude. That's they'll get in really good. Yeah, that's.
Speaker 2 (40:16):
I just there is something very pure about this, but
pure in the way that like you don't want to
look at me unless you run away.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
I will say a lot of people listen to our
podcast and have told us like it's really funny. And
I've gone on Quorra to be like, I want to
see some of this, and they're like, I hated it,
and it's like, yeah, that's dope. Leave it to us.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
No. I tried to prepare for this episode by looking
at Quorra being like, and I will bring some bangers around,
and there was nary a banger to be found. It's
just like people people being like, I go on, how
do I get on a plane and get to have
two seats for free? I am fucking like, why is
this person next to me on this flight? And it's
like it's questions that don't even need answer. The answer
(40:54):
is like who gives a shit to like ninety percent
of the questions, But we're the ones seeking out.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
You find the teen Hitler questions Why didn't Hitler use
the magical lance to defeat Russia or whatever?
Speaker 2 (41:05):
And some first response is like, all right, which magical lance?
First of all, what do you mean by magic? You
don't know about exactly?
Speaker 1 (41:15):
There was one that just on this Hitler episode that
was like, would Hitler have liked Princess Diana? Diana? And
which is a bizarre question, like why do you care
about this? And every answer with people being like of course,
obviously or like no, you idiot, he'd hate her for
this reason and he would.
Speaker 2 (41:32):
The answer there is obviously he might because he kind
of romanticized England.
Speaker 1 (41:36):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (41:37):
I wanted to live in fucking Whiteley's shopping center. It's
like a I'm trying to think of it, if someone
wanted to live in like the Westfield Mall in San Francisco.
It's so strangely the weird guy that ate off Hitler.
But this is obviously an anti Hitler podcast because you
need to say that now. Yes, six months from Fox
News is pro Hitless segment. They're kind of getting there.
(41:59):
So to wrap us up though, please, So okay, it
wasn't that bad. Do you are you going? How long
do you spend on Kora a week?
Speaker 1 (42:10):
Would you say? I don't think we're spending too much time.
We're lucky that we have a few sikhs who will
find questions. They deliver you yes, which is very very
hard tree and then sometimes we will search stuff and
find it, but it's not We're not spending too too
much time on there. I was more than a few hours.
Speaker 2 (42:25):
I was wondering if there was like a madness you'd like,
you get into it too much.
Speaker 1 (42:29):
Maybe our listeners are all going insane. We don't realize it.
The ones who are finding these going into the minds.
Do you involve yourself to any of you? We answer
a lot of questions. Sometimes I used to ask questions
and like try to get answers from people, but they
were not really they were onto. It's pretty quick.
Speaker 2 (42:42):
It doesn't feel like the kind of place that you
could fuck with very easily, because people would like to
be way too earnest or they'd be like, well, this
person's raking fun of me.
Speaker 1 (42:50):
And yet there's thousands, literally like thousands of Christian baby
questions that are I must be trolls, that's all. There's
so many.
Speaker 2 (42:58):
I think they might just be like thirteen to eighteen
year olds who have never spoken to a person.
Speaker 1 (43:04):
They're all great scenario. There's one those like, what would
you do if you're about to hit the winning strike
in a basic that's what they said, winning strike in
a baseball game, winning strike and the picture throws a
Christian baby at you win hit the baby, winning strike.
It's all bizarre.
Speaker 2 (43:19):
So you are about to okay, hit the winning strike, yes,
and you are being thrown at.
Speaker 1 (43:25):
A Christian baby instead of the ball. So two problems
as far as I know. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (43:29):
Well, also that is I don't think there are any
specific rules around that, but that sounds.
Speaker 1 (43:33):
Like it's like a dog playing ball.
Speaker 2 (43:35):
If you are throwing a strike, you wouldn't be hitting it.
No good place to any Jeremy, Where can people find you?
Speaker 1 (43:43):
Just search my name online? Okay, say your I would
love if people checked out coarrators in there. Yeah, we've
done two hundred episodes. You should come on. I would
love to.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
Yeah, And it's it's great to have people chronicling the
these parts of the Internet. Fine, And one of the
reasons I've brought you on other than you very funny,
is the Internet is kind of dying when it comes
to real people, and it's nice to see an evaluation
of what real people are really like, which isn't necessarily
a good thing. Now, well, talking about things that are good.
