Prince Andrew, AI Psychosis & Why The Moon Rings Like A Bell

The Epstein files saga just got deeper. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor — formerly known as the Duke of York, formerly known as Prince Andrew, formerly known as... no wait, that's someone else — is now under formal investigation by Thames Valley Police for allegedly leaking UK trade secrets to Jeffrey Epstein. 

And the Royal Family broke their centuries-old media silence during a state visit to address it. We're talking treason-level allegations here.

This week on Temporarily Scripted, we're unpacking the Andrew investigation, why the "safely released" WhatsApp messages from cabinet ministers are anything but safe, and whether insider trading at the top is just how the game works

 (spoiler: it probably is, but that doesn't make it okay).

Then we're diving into AI psychosis — the guy who spiraled so hard into ChatGPT dependence he ended up homeless. Is it a real thing or just someone with underlying issues? 

Plus: Green Day softening their politics at the Super Bowl, why Adam had to quit Cat GPT, and whether celebrities should just shut up and play guitar.

Finally, we celebrate David Rush reclaiming his chair-balancing world record (1 hour 20 minutes on his chin, absolute legend) and our Top 5 Weirdest Things 

About the Moon — because it's Lunar New Year and the moon is genuinely mental.

Welcome back to Temporally Scripted, and today we've got some huge news stories to cover from around the world. We'll be talking about Royals giving away secret information to people in the United States. Of course, we'll dig in a little bit about what's going on with AI and AI psychosis, and maybe later on we'll have a little bit of a story about people balancing chairs on their chins. And of course. There'll be some animal magic in there as well because we can't help ourselves here on temporarily scripted. So welcome back everybody. I'm Jack Austin, and as always, I am joined by my very good friend, partner in crime, the dude that I've known since we met down a random alleyway in the uk. Sometime that we can't remember when. Here he is. It's Adam Garcia. Welcome my friend. So lovely to be here as always, and always good to be reminded of, uh, strange escapades down dark alleyways. Uh, yeah, could have phrased that a bit better, probably. Yeah. Well let the audience make their own thoughts about what happened there, but yeah, you, you could, you can certainly know that we weren't passing any information away to, to secret people. So what's going on this week, my friend? Uh, well, uh, yeah, and still I haven't been passing on information to people in a secretive manner for profit. I dunno about you, but. No, although to be fair, the information I have may be not worth very much to anybody. I suppose quite a lot of it comes from things I heard in the primary school playground and have still not, not, you know, removed them from, from, from my psyche. So, yeah, I dunno what information I have. Yes, there was a time, yeah, I used to remember that, you know, traffic lights were once red to go and green to stop. I dunno if that was just my dad's driving or something that I had a fever dream at some point in my childhood. Who knows? It sounds like some very interesting driving on your, uh, dad's behalf. Uh, good times. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So, well, I guess well, should we, uh, should we kick off where we started discussing? Last week, I guess, and with a certain batch of files that were released, it seems like there's been a lot of fallout for it from it. It does indeed. And it just keeps going deeper and deeper. So we're gonna start with Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, formerly known as the Duke of York, formerly known as Prince Andrew, formerly known as the Artist. I Oh, no, that, yeah, I was gonna say that. Yeah. No, that's something else. Yeah. Yeah. Let's not bring him into it. But yeah. So apparently the story here is that Andrew is now being investigated by Thames Valley Police because he as, as he had the role as the trade envoy for the United Kingdom, he apparently leaked a load of information to Jeffrey Epstein about trade deals in Afghanistan, which trade deals in Afghanistan's, a whole different topic, which we can go into at some point. Mm-hmm. But yeah, he's been a very, very naughty boy. So much so that the royal family broke their. Hundreds of years old thing to never talk about stuff going on in the media when they're doing important trips to places around the world to obviously promote the, the royal family and the monarchy and, and they are currently, prince William is in Saudi Arabia for that very purpose. So this is big news and I, I wonder how deep it goes, but wow. Yeah, I mean, I guess it's not a good look really when royal visits are going on and they're having to comment on this and it just. Uh, reinforces that the attention of people on the connections that Andrew had. Or allegedly. Do we still say that now or is it, I think it's pr it looks pretty damning by now, but, um, yeah, I think for the purposes of the algorithm, we do need to say that being mentioned in the Epstein files does not mean that you were implicated by anything in the Epstein files. However, when it comes to Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, I think it's pretty much nailed. Yeah. Um, but yeah, this is, this is really bad. I mean, again, it's just like the mandelson thing of. Giving someone information that's really important information that's can you affect the price of various things, whether that's, uh, the strength of a pound or the fse or all kinds of different things that it could affect. Um, as well as just inside your information on what's about to happen in the world, which. Being that one step ahead in business can really make you a profit. And that seems to be part of it. And I mean also when, when you think about some of this stuff, uh, I don't, I dunno, the full ins and outs of the Andrew thing, and I guess that's why there's an investigation going on. But when you think of the Mandelson thing, it's like, is that, is that just some dodgy thing of telling you made some stuff? Or is that kind of like treason? Because you, you are selling state secrets and that's going against the, the interests of your country when you are in a massive position of power. Yeah. I wonder if it's still something that you could get the death penalty for in the uk.'cause I remember. I go down rabbit holes, as I'm sure you know. I get obsessed with random things sometimes. It's like, oh, I've seen a mountain, now I'm gonna research every possible mountain that there is in the world. And obsesses. That's just how my brain works. And once I, I was looking into like the whole capital punishment thing and all of that stuff. Corporal, corporal punishment, capital punishment, um, anyway, anyway, yeah, capital's like death sentence. Uh, corporal is like. Uh, random acts of violence or something was a punishment. Right? Right. You heard it hit first. Um, so yeah, there was only two things in the UK at that time that you could still be sentenced with the death penalty for one of them was treason and the other one was arson in her majesty's dockyards. So if you set fire to something in like a naval port, I dunno if it was also. It would be Naval 'cause they're the only Her Majesty or his majesty now. But yeah, they were the two things that you could still be. Committed to death for, I don't think it's a hung, drawn and quartering, but Oh, right, okay. Which is a shame, you know, the BBC would've actually got some, uh, viewers. I, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's it. You can imagine. But that makes me think of a Guy Forks thing I listened to the other day, but we're not gonna go down that rabbit hole just yet. He, he certainly wasn't feeding information to Jeffrey Epstein. At least we, we hope not. We, we don't, we, I don't think his name was on the list. But we, we can't be sure.'cause some of it again, hasn't been released and there's still like another 3 million files or something. They only released half of it and some of it's heavily redacted. And another thing with all this is like, it seems, it seems they gave what they wanted to give and it seems like a lot's been held back and there's no. It's all seems to be like kind of tenuous links. There doesn't seem to be a lot of concrete evidence, not much of it anyway, but heavily implicates people. I think a lot of that has come from investigations like subsequently, like with Mandelson and things, and there's a picture of him in his pants and of which doesn't look good. And like with Andrew, there's a picture of him over that woman, which again. Not such a good luck. I I, I thought they were just playing a game of Twister, to be honest. It could have been. Or, or practicing like CPR or something. Um, yeah. Yeah. But yeah, it seems like they just haven't really given us really all of the information. I think there's, there's a lot there that isn't, that hasn't been released and they won't release. And also interestingly, uh, we've had like. In the uk there's been investigations into Mandelson and Andrew, but in America I've not heard of anybody being investigated. Even though the amount of people named in these files seems huge and it's, and that's all like politicians, business leaders and ver like various people with a lot of power, but it seems like nothing is being investigated or seems to be being done about it. Yeah. Yeah. The other thing I find I, I guess. Without making accusations. There's gotta be some in there about Donald Trump, because you can't be the best friend of somebody with all of this stuff going on and them not know about it. You know, like it's, there's, there's gotta be something that goes a little bit deeper there, or it, it's just that you're the most gullible person ever. Like if I was running this kind of empire and all of this stuff going on and all these connections and information and stuff, and, and you had no idea about it, it's a tough, it's a tough pill to swallow, isn't it? Really is, um, and the whole thing's just so, so strange. Um, I mean, going back to the Andrew thing, what, what do you think will happen to him next? What. Do you seem that it's gonna be a positive outlook for police? Look into it and go, oh, no, actually it was, uh, it was fine. I think it, i, it totally depends on how much of an impact this is having on the royal family in the uk because if you imagine, and even me is not a massive royalist like. Queen Elizabeth seemed like an an awesome monarch, right? She had that sense of humor. Quick wit, always seemed like friendly, turning up to stuff, and I know some people listening are gonna go, ah, the royals are, and yeah, fair enough, right? Mm-hmm. Of course. Mm-hmm. Let's, let's not get it wrong. The, the temporarily scripted line is generally that they're all. Full of it. Right. The whole, the whole lot of them. So it's not like, you know, it's not like we're like royalists or I'm not putting words in your mouth, but for me personally mm-hmm. When the Queen died, I, I was sad, right. Because she was like an establishment, part of being British was old, old Queenie and what she was doing, you know, and I feel like since she died, prince Charles has, has never had quite as much of a. Sorry. King Charles has never had quite as much of a pull or a, a statesman like feel about him. And obviously partly because of Diana and she was very loved by the UK public and, and the whole world. And like once all the stuff that happened with him and Camilla and all of that, like he generally already had like a bad sort of publicity to deal with. And I, I think William and Kate is different. They can kind of have more of that. But if it looks like the royal family is, is gonna be in a place where it might not exist anymore, then I think it could go as far as Andrew getting jailed. Yeah. I mean, if it, if it's serious enough, I guess it would have to be, because I think if not, there'd be such a, a public outcry. Um, 'cause Yeah, but like with most things. When rich, powerful people do something bad that most people would get jail time for, they don't. So it'll be interesting to see what happens. Obviously, we don't know. He might come out as completely not guilty and innocent, but it doesn't, it doesn't sound so great. And it seems like he spent a lot of time with. And, yeah. Yeah. It must have been talking about something that whole time. Well, you've been up to, oh, you know, just, just chilling out, riding my horse. Like not really. Yeah. Yeah. How, how's that job going? It's like the trade, um, Envoy or, oh, well, yeah. You know, just quiet. You're gonna go into details and say what's been happening and say, oh, well there's this huge thing, you know, 'cause you worked. You're talking to a friend about it. I also get this impression that, that Andrew is the kind of character where, so there was somebody in my life, I'm not gonna mention their names, but like, once they, they owe, they owed a lot of money to people and I helped them out. I was like, okay, is that it now? Right. There's no, you don't owe anyone else money. Do. They're like, no, no, no. It's all sorted now. It's all done. And then like a week later I get a message from someone saying, oh, have you seen this guy? Because he, he owes me. And I'm like, and then, yeah. And then it happens again and again and again. And I feel like, Andrew, you can imagine Andrew's talking to King Charles and, and King Charles is like, is is this it now? Is, is there, are you sure there's not gonna be anything else? Right? He's like, yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah. He's like, we can just about. Deal with this. Right. It will blow over. But if there's gonna be another thing, like, you need to tell me because we we're gonna have to get on the front foot with this. And he is like, no, no, no, that's it. And I, I, I was only in Pizza Express and there was nothing going on and there's no further Yeah. Information to find out. And then there's another thing. So I think it will get to the point where Charles is just like, I'm done. You are, whatever. The police can do what they want with you. You know? And I mean, it is funny you, you're saying about. Like, uh, the queen and the kind of respects that people had for her and everyone like, just really knew that she was like a, a genuine person for who is above reproach kind of thing. And what, what she said was like, when she's kind of impeccable, would always do right thing. And then you have Andrew and just all the light. Uh, just such a bizarre setup and all the weird excuses that came out when he was doing panorama. Like, um, oh, well I had, I had a shot of adrenaline during the war and uh, I can't sweat now. So when she says I was sweating, that's, that's not the case. It would be impossible. And then like doctors look into it and say. There, there is a, a medical condition like this, but it's not caused by an adrenaline shot. And it's, it's very, very rare. And it sounds incredibly unlikely. And then, like I was telling you earlier for, for I notice with, uh, the Pizza Express thing, it's like during that Panorama interview when he allegedly spent a night with Virginia Gutey and he said, oh no, it couldn't have possibly happened. I was at Pizza Express at the time with my family. And it's like later in these files. That kind of food seems to be a code word for something else. What's I, I just thought, what's going on there? Is he just being va blatant? Is he kind of having a, a joke on someone? Did, did someone tell him like a say on camera? You know? Yeah. What is it? Was he blackmailed to say? I dunno. But it just seemed like such a weird coincidence because. Uh, firstly, none of the staff from that place have any recollection of a royal visit, which they would. So it seems like it, it really didn't happen. And why be so specific about that food? Yeah. Yeah. You could say, oh, I, I had a speaking engagement at blah, blah, blah. Or I was with whoever. W and how would he even remember that specific day? And it's just so weird, you know? Yeah. And it's not even like, it is not even like a memorable place to eat for a start. But it also then, part of this is, part of this is because like, you know, if I, if I think I'm gonna buy this car in red. I will suddenly see that car in red everywhere, and I never saw it before. Right, because you kind of, there's a, there's a thing in your brain where you can train it to see certain stuff, but it does, I start to notice now and people are sharing stuff where all kinds of different celebrities, people high up in like Hollywood are talking about amazing parties They had mentioning that specific food again, and then you start to go, wait. And it could just be, oh, it's a coincidence.'cause now we're all looking for this stuff. But it could be that like, it just goes so deep, you know? It's almost like if you wanna be part of that, a-list world, you kind of have to be involved in some way with something dodgy. Whether, whether or not it's anything right to that level, or if it's more information sharing, whatever else, all of that stuff. It's like, but, and again, you know, where do you draw the line? So, like for example, I'm a nobody pretty much like you're a nobody as well. As much as I love. Mm-hmm. Well, I mean, speak to yourself, but Okay. You know, but like, if I find someone tells me about this piece of information with a, a cryptocurrency that's gonna come out, or they tell me that this stock's gonna go up and then I come and tell you. Mm-hmm. Because you're my friend and I want you to make money as well, that's kind of okay. So where do you draw the line? Where if like you've got this level of information and you tell your friend that it's not okay, but how do you measure that line of where you are too influential and you know, too much stuff to be able to share things with your friends? That's, uh, a really good question and I, I don't know if the answer to it. Um, I think what I would say is. Just like if you work for the civil service or something like that, you have to sign the Official Secrets Act. Various companies as well will have you sign something similar because you're handling very sensitive information and I, I, I guess it's that it's where you breach, it's where you breach that kind of trust or that contract or whatever else. Yeah, and also it's, it's when you are, I mean, if we looked at the Mandel some things, if that's all true, then he's doing things that are against the interests of his own country. And that's, that's definitely one line that you could draw. Are you throwing your country under of a bus so you can make some money with your mate? I, I, I dunno. I think that we can pretty much jail every politician, you know? But anyway, that's just my personal opinion. I'm not saying that that's what we should do. And I mean, but, but again, the whole insider trading thing. We know that it seems to happen, and again, you could say allegedly, but like for Nancy Pelosi trading thing, she's like the, the greatest trader that's ever been known and it's, it is just coincidence that she happens to know some of the deals and laws that come out. In advance. Obviously she doesn't act on it and there's no reason she would make hundreds of millions of dollars and be better than Warren Buffet trading now. Yeah, I mean, yeah, I mean, just coincidence, coincidences happen all the time. Yeah, and I mean, in that spare 20 minutes a day, she has to focus on the markets. She just seems to figure it all out. It's, it is incredible. Yeah. And who and who would think the following day, like, uh, it's announced that Microsoft is doing a new deal with the US government and the stock just skyrockets. Just weird coincidence. But she knew nothing about obviously. Yeah. Yeah. I mean that, that, that's someone that needs investigating in general, I think as well as like Bill Gates, because, not just from what's come out in, in the Epstein files, but the fact that for years and years and years, he can be like, oh yeah, climate change. Gotta invest all this money in climate change guys. Give us all your money. Invest in this. It's all climate change, climate change, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And that affects markets. And then for one day, him to just wake up and go, oh yeah, it's not a thing actually. Yeah. Amazing. Isn't that last night I, I reflected on it before, before I went to bed, and when I woke up this morning, I thought, you know what? All of those billions of dollars we spent on researching climate change. It was a waste. Yeah. I mean, it must be a fool if I think the same thing next week as I did last week. So it's fine that I've just changed my mind. It's nothing to do with the fact that I've just bought all the farming land in the USA or whatever. Like you have to come out with something new each time, I guess. But I mean, that was one of the interesting things where you'd have various politicians like Obama, whoever else, going, oh, it's looking bad. Sea levels are gonna rise soon. It's gonna be terrible. And man goes and buys like a mansion. By the beach. You know, if, if you really thought the sea was gonna rise by like a hundred feet or whatever in the near future, that's not what you'd be buying a house at the top of a mountain. Yeah. Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy. Right. Well, let's move on. Um, 'cause I know we could talk about this for a whole episode, but we, we wanna get to Guinness World Records and Animals at some point.'cause the stuff that really matters in life, really, the stuff that matters. Yeah. But, but before we do move totally away from politics, there's. There's this story that's came out where obviously West Streeting shared. His, his WhatsApp messages, right? So what, what Basically, he was sending WhatsApp messages to Mandelson, and he wanted to prove there was no wrongdoing by sharing the messages, and the government have just warned them to not do that. I think it was the government, or they've been warned by the police to not share their, their message chains publicly because it could affect investigations that are ongoing. Right? Yeah. For one, surely sharing your own messages is fine. For two. The biggest thing that hit me out of this story is that sometimes these people send messages to each other and they just don't reply. I cannot imagine someone sending me a message and me not just reading it and not replying. Is that what normal people do? Well, they're just too busy. They've got things to do. Maybe, maybe there's a list of priorities of the prioritize with people that they respond to. Uh, but then some of it's just sharing a random article that they looked good in. So it's, so to me, I'm like. Is that how people converse? Is, is this Oh yeah. And I was flabbergasted. And it could be that they share things like that sometimes. Oh, look at this article about me. I actually look pretty good. And we, we always have this impression of like, uh, politicians or people in charge being like real serious adults, but they're just like. They're just like average people or sometimes more childish than that. You know, it's like, oh, see, miss Thing, we're not done. You know, it's like, look at me. Yeah. I mean the, the line that kills me the most out of this, which comes from The Guardian, is the cabinet office and police are coordinating on what material can be safely published and when, to me, that's exactly what we said at the beginning. We're just looking at what's gonna like mean. The public realized that we're all full of shit and they're gonna like, get even more angry than they are and maybe revolt or like safely, safely released for what? What's gonna happen? How do you release it safely? S safely. For who? Yeah. Oh, well, that's it. Like now I've heard this thing about manen. I'm, I can't, I can't live. What? Support, um, like we mentioned in a previous episode, as soon as you hear that word safety, usually it's not in your best interests. You know, there's always something dodgy going on. So are we doing this for, for safety reasons? Go. Who, whose safety. Yeah, it's not, it's not mine and yours unless it's like texting while driving after 10 pints of beer doesn't accept it. Right. That that one's okay. Um, but yeah, information safety. It's, yeah, not sure. It's kind of funny. This was Streeting thing as well.'cause there's nothing particularly interesting in, in what he said in, in the messages of, is it, I, I can't remember. But I read 'em. It's like they, they're talking about, um oh. You are, I'm going to America this week, like, uh, and I need this information. Can you give it to me? Or, I saw this article they wrote about you and it put you across in a really good way. Or it's just like little things like that. And then I think it gets a little bit tasty towards the end where Streeting is saying that the government has no plan for growth and stuff. Yeah. And I mean, that just reminds me of when I used to work at Boots, right? You, you'd be working in your team and one of the managers would make some decision and you and your teammates would be like. It's never gonna work, is it? Like, what, why, how, why do they think this policy's gonna work? Or like the time where, you know, the, the leadership at Boots decided that they were gonna stop putting milk in the hubs for free so we could make teas and coffees, and it was mutiny. Yeah, I can imagine full shutdown, like people were working less, they were all bitching all day about the lack of milk and literally, I think it was 11 days before they started putting milk back in. The hubs of all different colors, like starts. It's, it's incredible, isn't it? What motivates me, what motivates people and the the thing that'll be the straw that breaks the camel's back. It's like just one thing so small. It's like, right. That's it. Yeah. Milk gate, it was called at the time. Yeah, I can imagine. Um, but it also gave me faith in humanity again, because I realized like once you do cross the line, once you get to a point where the line has crossed too far, it's like across all levels from the, the, the lowest level employee to the most senior manager that's not on the leadership board was just like, mm-hmm. Outraged. It was pure, like British people in tea is one thing already, but then like, oh, you have to bring your own milk. How's that even gonna work with everyone bringing their own milk to the fridge and oh, people are gonna take other people's. And, but yeah, you, you get between like an English person number tea and it's like, uh, a pity a fool. Yeah, I'd, I'd imagine that. I can't believe the WhatsApp messages that would've seen. Been seen over that period of time. I'm sure there was all kinds of stuff, you know, and I think again, it's, it's also shows you how far removed leadership can be from the reality of the day to day of like what actually matters for people, you know? Yeah, completely. And it is that, I mean. I think a lot of people are fed up with politicians in the UK for a number of reasons, and we see all this going on, and I think isn't keystone of the most unpopular prime minister in history. Like you've got the lowest approval ratings and, and I, people are just seeing from all now like this. We're all just in this little group, just helping each other out. We're all in it for themselves. We're all like in this like cloud land, just not existing in real world. And I think people had just had enough in many ways, um, we're almost at this stage where people were looking back and thinking, ah, Margaret Thatcher, that's when we had, you know, proper leadership. Yeah. And, and people actually are. Um, but I mean, whatever it was with. Thatcher, I mean she was, she had like character and conviction and seriousness and I. She was, and if she said something, it's not like Kia Star, where it's like, okay, I, I'm announcing this and then like three days later, well there another U-turn, you know? Do, do you often go back to your hometown in the Northeast or Not these days? I haven't been there for like a really long time. I think about seven. So after seven years. After you just said that about Margaret Thatcher, I would recommend you Never, ever. Yeah. Although actually it was, uh, during the black government that it was the worst. Um, then it was during the black government that all the shutdowns started happening at ipo, chemical Works and British Steel, not so much, but it did get shorter in that time. Uh, during, while it was happening, uh, ICI, which was like the big chemical. Corporation that had all the factories and like this huge, huge area of chemical works well, they started selling parts of a company off to other companies from overseas and workers were like losing out on their rights and loads of people were just getting fired, left, right. And San and all this stuff was happening. So, um, yeah. So the workers got together and took ICI to court. Um, about it and yeah, ICI was represented by, um, somebody called Shari bla. Oh, nice. Yeah. Uh, and so you can imagine what happened and yeah, over, over workers that had put over many and basically lost all of that and it still didn't help with anything. And so in, in a lot of ways, um, this was during like an election time as well. Like leading up to the 1997 election and, and like the, the barrister for, for the workers was like, oh, don't take this to court. Sorry, don't take this to the press or anything. Just keep the, keep the court case quiet. But if it was known in the news that re bla was representing ICI against the workers, that would've probably changed an election. Um, crazy. But yeah. And so I, I think probably where I'm from. Things under that river weren't so happy with because it was pretty grim. But in some ways, at least back then, everyone had jobs and you had like a job for life pretty much guaranteed. You did have a poll tax and everything else, but, but at, but at the same time it was really under. Like Blairs kind of time where things started getting really bad and that through like the early two thousands and things like everything just started shutting down. And so now if you, if you go to that area, places like Middlesborough where I was born, it's just this like kind of ghost town with just, you just got nothing there. All like for department stores and all the nice places all shut down. And now you just kind of got like Greg's charity shops, vape shop. That's about it, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I mean, I grew up in, in near Grimsby and that's another example of a town that's just had the soul ripped out of it, and it, it's. Pretty much empty everywhere now. Like the, the old shopping streets are empty. There's like drug addicts on the street everywhere. There's homeless people and it's just, yeah. Anyway, we could, we could talk about that looking back and thinking, you know, the good old days. I think some of it is just how humans are. When we look back at stuff we, we are not in the moment, so it feels like it was better, but some of it is absolutely true, and I think that's partly why. Ki Stama is like the lowest rated prime minister of all time. It, I think every, every one of the last five prime ministers has been like the lowest rated prime minister of all time. It's just like, yeah. Gradual. Gradually just, just going into like of, it was like for Liz, trusting with the lettuce where it was like I, it will. Liz trusts all lettuce. You the coron, Spain. Yeah. I never trust, um, I'm sorry, but that was my, let's move out, let's move out of politics and onto other things. So another key theme, obviously, because we are at the forefront of everything here on temporarily scripted, don't forget to give us a like, or subscribe or follow. We should have said that in the first four minutes before people start watching anyway. Um, so ai, there's this new thing now called AI psychosis, which is basically around like, uh, there was this man who described it. He said he was spiraling into AI psychosis because of heavy, heavy reliance upon. Chatbots and his life started to fall apart. Uh, and then eventually he woke up homeless and that's when he snapped out of it. It sounds extreme. I dunno if he asked chat GBT if the best way, what was the best way to save on his rent and chat? GBT said, just pitch a tent on the high street in Grimsby and, uh, see what happens. But yeah. Um, he had this obsession apparently, and it cost him everything. So, yeah, I mean, and from reading it, it seemed pretty grim. This was, the article didn't go into like a huge amount of detail really. I dunno. Can you see how it could happen in a way that someone could get. What's sometimes called AI psychosis? Yes and no. Um, I think one of the biggest dangers I see with AI is it's, it's certainly designed to be an echo chamber. So no matter what you say to ai, it, it will. Challenge you a bit to begin with, but eventually it will come to a point where it agrees with everything that you say. And it says, yeah, you've got it now. You've nailed it. Ship it, put it out there. One example I can give is like trying to get lighting right in a room we were talking about earlier. And you, you take your screenshot of like your video and you'll put it into AI and you'll be like, all right, give me some feedback on this. It's like, wow. First I wanna tell you, you've done a great job so far, but here's how I take it to the next level. And then it starts telling you all these things and you spend like. Six hours tweaking all the lights where you could just use your own eyeballs in your head to decide what looks a bit better. But having that thinking partner ne next to you, you know, that's gonna make all the difference, right? So, and then you end up with dark, muddy, rubbish, um, that, that you could have just done better yourself in the first 10 minutes. So I think there's, there's some stuff in there with it. I guess if you were starting to ask it too much about, you know, how do I become a millionaire and then like, just obsessing with. Information over action and never actually doing any of the things that it's teaching you. Just like learning and learning and more learning, and I'm gonna learn more stuff. And then eventually I could see how it could become an obsession that way. Um, but yeah, going from like housed job to homeless seems like a bit of a stretch to me. I, I feel like there was something else involved here. Yeah, I would agree in that. I think probably there's some underlying problem and it's not just the whole thing is caused by. Him talking to chat PT for too long. It's, it's like with a lot of things sort of, people can be influenced by, well, all kinds of stuff, really. You could, some people might watch a movie and then decide to copy what's been done in that movie, even though it's like Taxi Driver or whatever, or Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But I think it's like, it's one of those things, it's like should you say, okay, well yeah, fine, let's, let's ban chat GPT.'cause it does this. It's like, it doesn't really do that. Someone that probably had some issues, some problems, always quite susceptible to this kind of thing. We got caught out by it and I think, we'll, we will see a lot more of that happening as well. Yeah, I would think in like a broader society as well, because people, people are lonelier these days where. Their friendships, uh, seem to be less strong than they were in the past. They have a, a smaller circle of friends. Then all of a sudden you have these chatbots that you can just talk to and maybe you have some issues, you wanna do different things. You do, you explore all this stuff. And for the chat bot can be act acting as like a friend, a counselor, a life coach, um, an employment advisor. All these kinds of things, and I think people are getting sucked into it because it's fully immersive and it feels like you are having a, a conversation with a, a real person. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I, I, I get it. Like I, um. I think it has huge uses for that as well. I think it's actually very useful, uh, being a confidant, a coach or whatever, but you have to prompt it very well to, to get it, to do things like asking clarifying questions and trying to really get down to what your worldview is on a subject and then help you reframe that worldview so used in the right way with the right amount of knowledge. It can, it can definitely help a a lot. But yeah, there is this part of it, like, you know, I, I had recently, um, an issue where I had to stop myself from using, um, cat GPT. Have you heard of Cat? GPT? Oh, is it where you ans you asked it a question, it just. Meows. Yeah. Yeah. And I started using it and initially it was useful. It gave me like a view of what it's like to be a cat and I started to obviously improve my language skills. But then, you know, I started asking my wife to buy packets of Whiskers when we went to the supermarket and she just thought that was weird. And yeah, I started drinking my daily protein shakes out of a saucer. On, on. Yeah. And. And eventually I had to go to counseling and stop, you know, stop using catch EPT. So I think that would be my warning to the viewers is if you ever stumble across something like that or you start meowing to ai, it's probably time to, uh, to, to have a break talk some humans, you know, it could be. And yeah, and I guess also with ai, it's, um, it's this incredibly powerful technology that's just been. Dumped on us, and no one really knows for the safety aspects of it or what it, how powerful it actually is, or what problems it could actually cause for certain people. You know, it's kind of, we view it the same as having like a Google search or a game of Tetris or something like that. But it's not, you know, it's, it's far, far different. Um, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's, it, it is random, like I think. Uh, who knows where it's gonna go. I think it has as many benefits as it does downsides. I think it's the same as anything, right? You can sit on YouTube and watch videos about rubbish all day, or like, you know, Mr. Beast and all of this set up crap that people like to rot their brains with, which is all staged. Nonsense, which I'm sometimes I have watched it. I, I have to agree. But literally it's guys a multi-billionaire from just making crap, uh, to rock his brains. Yeah. Or you could sit and watch like Alex or Moey and, you know, all of these guys, Peterson, whatever, um, Tony Robbins and, and really get a, a, a massive education from it. And I think it's the same with. With ai right. You just need to make sure that you're not living in there too much and you're actually applying some of the things that you are working on. And it's not a reassurance partner. Yeah.'cause it will just tell you, you've got a good idea no matter what it's like. Yeah. Unless you put that, be honest, like level to it, then it will just say, because it's, it's meant to be friendly and. Because I guess people wouldn't use it so much if every time you went to an ID with it, it's like. Yeah, pull the other one, but it'll never happen. What? Look at Miss Clown, I'm, I'm gonna tell all the other AI about this Dick. Hey club. You never guess what this guy just said to me. Exactly. So we kind of have to be, what I did notice as well is this is from Futurism Magazine and they, they came to like high quality journalism again. Yeah. Kind of tend to like, uh, sensationalize a lot of stuff, uh, but isn't always worthwhile or, I mean, I noticed the other day they did like a, a hit piece on like Andrew Huberman saying, oh, uh, his views are outraged because he secretly on TRT and 'cause he, he admitted in like a, an interview, well, not admitted, he just like dropped it into an interview recently. But the thing is, I've been watching that guy for like. Years, and I remember years ago and saying, yeah, I started doing like testosterone replacement therapy in like when I was 45 years. Uh, yeah, they've reframed it because like a couple of people got angry on the internet and tried to call him out for it, even though he'd mentioned like several times. Um, as if people all thought that, well, you know, he just thinks health is like daylight viewing and ashwagandha and it's like completely fault. And then within that, the product like, yeah. And then in that they brought up like some other allegations from years ago and things like that, and just for some reason just decided to take this guy and just paint him out as this like terrible character. And, but everyone's outraged and no one's outraged about anything. About him. It was something that came up like a year ago, but it, I dunno, it's like we've just somehow made a story out of nothing just to like, get clicks and it's all click bait and shock as blah, blah blah, you know? Yeah. And it, it Coates outrage, doesn't it? Like, I mean, all I've been doing is applying snake all to my titties and my biceps, and he can Yeah. Health right now, but everything's outrageous. You know? It's like I, I. We're probably not gonna gonna get to all these stories today, but like if we look through the other stories, it's like Boycott Amazon, boycott Chat, GBT boycott the internet. It's like a South Park episode. They're all like, they're all like rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble, rabble. It's like, let's get super angry and annoyed about everything that we can't do anything about. You know, it's, it's crazy. Crazy, crazy. And, and, and that's why South Park is so good.'cause it's true just like the Simpsons where there's always a thing like, let us not become an angry mob. And everyone becomes an angry mob. It's like, yeah, someone pops up with a torch selling, you know stuff. Yeah. Crazy. So I, I think we just would, let's jump to one more story before we go into, obviously the key news of the day, which is like the, the Guinness World Record that we wanna tell these guys about. I think we'll finish off with that. I do wanna talk a little bit about the Super Bowl. Obviously I don't care about the Super Bowl, like personally, and, sorry, if we've got an American viewers watching, I can't stand American sport. Like they, they, they're so stat heavy and for me it just doesn't, it doesn't work. And I know most Americans don't like football or soccer because it's like, it doesn't have as much of that stat analysis angle. So for me, if I try and watch like American football, it's just five hours of like. They seem to spend more time off the pitch than on the pitch. I just don't get it Right. Also it is, they stole the word football. They should, they should have called it soccer or whatever, you know, kicky rugby with pads. Anyway, but obviously there's always a huge, yeah, there's always a huge event. There's like a big halftime show, which apparently they're gonna try and ruin the World Cup for football with halftime shows 'cause it's in America this year or whatever, and Green Day performed. There. Right. And obviously Green Day, they're known as like punk. It's like we know three chords and can play them with a lot of attitude. It's like where, where do you stand on Green Day, by the way?'cause. Oh, I used to really, really love them when I was like, probably like 14, something like that. Like Dukey was, I think my favorite album, VA and nevermind by Nirvana, nevermind. Um, but yeah, I think they just, uh, they've done some awesome stuff in that time and wrote some like really well written, catchy, cool like. Punk songs. I, I agree. Yeah. Green Day are, are awesome. And one of my, i, I think formative bands, if that's a phrase, it is now we heard it here first. Formative bands. Bands that kind of formed your thinking, your feel about music. But everyone's super annoyed 'cause they played the Super Bowl and apparently they, they skipped a verse. That's about politics and stuff. And they, they like, they, they like massage themselves down a little bit. And it's not the first time this happened, I heard, I think Rage Against the Machine played at like Obama's inauguration ceremony or something. Right. Which is like, yeah, there's do Killing him a name or something. Uh, and um, Obama van went on to do more drone strikes than. Anybody else in history. Um, but anyway, this is it. So, I mean, what do you think about it? Is it, is it bad that they didn't do it? Is it that they're just like, do you know what, it's not the occasion for political statements. Like, what is that? I, I suppose some of it is like if someone said to me, oh, you're gonna do a, you can come and do a speech at this massive business conference, but please don't go on and talk about like. Your cat, GPT, addiction and you know, meow and stuff, just avoid that. I'd probably go, do you know what, as much as I am passionate about Cat GPT, I'm happy to not talk about it today because I want the opportunity. And is it a bit like that? Like, here's the Super Bowl, don't say this first, please. Things are a bit hot at the moment. Like, I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure. I'm not sure what the, the thinking was behind it. Uh, I guess they, they don't have a responsibility to, to change that line in that song every time, which I can't remember what it is, but it's something anti MAGA or anti-Trump or something like that. But it's like, yeah, I dunno. At the same time I kind of think. I, I'm sort of in two minds about it. It's like if, if a politician does something, you look at it and you think it's blatantly wrong and it is blatantly wrong. You, you have the freedom to say about it. But I wonder if a lot of celebrities, and we see it at the Oscars of a Grammy or whatever else, it's like, well say it's a vs. Inside. Well, I, I've spent. For the last 30 years pretending to be other people. So I have a, a good, a good idea of what's right and wrong and what politicians should, should do. And it's like you don't, um, and it's like, there was a funny one the other day where it was Billie Eilish at the Grammys and she made like a little protest on stage when she was getting a reward. Uh, ice. And she said something like, no one is illegal on stolen land. And everyone gets up and claps and, oh, oh, so beautiful, so noble. But then the, the Tonga tribe, uh, made a statement saying that, um, her, her mansion. Is, uh, is on their ancestral land, and they, they weren't, uh, consulted before the building of the mansion. You know, so it's like you have this weird, slightly hypocritical thing going off as well. Um, oh yeah. It's, it is easy to be on the high horse and on the left when you've already got multimillions of dollars in your bank account. You know, it's, it's easy to do that. Like it, I call it like the Greta Thunberg. Sort of mentality that they all have and, and I think the other person who played the Super Bowl, is it B Rabbit or some rabbit? Oh, bad Bunny. Something. Yeah, bunny. Yeah. I dunno who that is, but, but I'm sure Mr. Bunny is very good at his job. I'm sure he is. And, and I think he's like the other side of the coin or whatever. I don't know. It is tricky, man. Like I, I think. You, where do you draw the line? Um, and I think we could talk about this all day, but we're not gonna because we're gonna move on. Well, I guess what, what we could draw the line is just sort of go, I just want to hear you play good music and do that. That's what you're really good at. I don't care what you think about one politician or another of the state of certain things, just. Keep doing what you're doing. Play the damn guitar and shut up. Yeah, well strong words a a bit. Yeah. Great. Yeah, so the bit that you guys have all been waiting for before. Oh, making sure I don't knock my microphone out because Yeah. The bit you've all been waiting for. Is the, we'll cut this bit out. I'll definitely remember. Sure. Before we get to our top fives, we've got one last story. It comes from our favorite beverage Guinness, which is not the same Guinness, but it's a Guinness World Record, and this record has been broken. By David Rush, he reclaimed the record. Someone had stolen it from him, but like a true champion, he carried on. He came back. He went back into training. I'm sure there was a montage in there, Rocky style, and he has just reclaimed the record for balancing a chair on his chin for one hour, 20 minutes and 30 seconds. Yeah, I mean the, there's not much we can say about that really, other than Well done, David. That is incredible. Uh, congratulations. Have you ever tried to balance a chair on your chin? No, I haven't. I've tried balancing like, uh, brooms and things like that. I've snuck a spoon to my nose. Right. I, I had a magic DVD by a guy who used to, I think he started off in like the circus, and so he learned like kind of clown skills and things like that, but he could like balance a spoon like on his chin, which was really impressive. If you wanna learn it, you start with a broom and then you keep like chopping bits off until it gets really short, and then you'd be able to do with, uh, spoons. That's awesome. I like it. That's, that's, uh, there you go ladies and gentlemen. Magic tips, madam. Maybe that'll become a segment in the future.'cause Adam loves being asked to do magic at random events. Yeah, definitely. So, so bringing us to this week. Temporarily scripted top five this week. What have we got, Adam? Take it away. Uh, I can't remember. Oh, right. There we go. Oh, okay. We're gonna cancel it this week, guys. I'll see you next week. Don't forget till I can subscribe. Uh, have a nice day. So as, as some people will be aware, it's uh, lunar New Year. Pretty soon. So for Lunar New Year, well maybe that's a good, a good time to do something lunar. And so this week it's top five weirdest things about Moon. Awesome. I think we can add to that quickly that we're going back to the Moon very soon as personally, we not, not you and I. We're not gonna record an episode of temporarily scripted on the moon, although that would be cool. The US I think they're pretty close to. Send in another mission back to the moon, but I'm not gonna derail us. Let's continue. Oh, nice. That'll be interesting when that happens, right? Uh, so number one is the 400 by 400 coincidence. And it's this that gives us total solar eclipses, right? So from, from the earth, the sun, and the moon. Look kind of the same size, which is really weird, but that's because the sun is about 400 times wider than per moon, but it's also 400 times fer away. So they appear to be the same kind of size, which is mad that it's so perfect. And that's what gives us like the the total solar eclipse, which is just really it. It's such a mad coincidence. I and I, again, it, to me, I think it's just because the universe has so many of these things, right? They're like, it seems like it's totally random, but at the same time it's like a big old Mandel brought, set crazy. Yeah. Uh, it is nuts, but at the same time, for me, it's actually. Moving away from us only by about three to four centimeters per year, which means that in the past it would've looked bigger and in the future we won't get that. Total solar eclipse. It won't really affect us 'cause it'll be a very, very, very long time from now. But speak for yourself. Yeah. I asked chat from GPT and it said I'm gonna live forever. Yeah. It said if I follow this specific regimen, then you catch GPT. I'll be there. Awesome. Right. Number number two, um, is that it always faces earth. Which is absolutely crazy. So, you know, we, we, we can only see, we see a little bit more than half of it. We see about 59%, but that's, that's all we see. So it's like, uh, if this microphones for moon, sorry, if for microphones for Earth, and this is for Moon, it's always like this. As it goes round, it always faces the earth. I don't think we actually know why it must be something like it's kind of heavier or denser on one side and over time it's got trapped like that, but it's really crazy that it would orbit just perfectly like that. So we have that one side of the mean. It'd be great for advertising if someone decides to put one up there, wouldn't it? So almost like a billboard, but joking aside, it's because on the dark side it's made of cheese and the clangers live there anyway. What's the number three? Well, also, interestingly, the dark side, it's actually pretty bright. It gets lots of light. It is really, it should be the far side of the moon, but it just doesn't sound as cool. Then songs, although the far side of the moon does sound like an album anyway. Well, and speaking of that, number three is that veneer far and the sa far side look like two different moons completely. So the asymmetrical, also the, the moon's neo side has like big sort of dark seas, which are like huge basalt planes that came from ancient lava flow. Uh, but the far side is kind of like covered with a lot more crater marks and it, the crust is a lot thicker on that side for some reason, but they just look like two completely different moons. That's wild. Yeah. I wouldn't, uh, but you think it used to be the earth or something and we used to live there and then we came to this earth afterwards or something. That's my theory, but that's a good theory based on the last 15 seconds of, so I think it's pretty solid. Maybe when NASA goes back, they can, uh, verify or, or, or rubbish that, that hypothesis, I'm not sure. And we can call it the temporarily scripted hypothesis, or just the Jack Austin one, if you don't Yeah, I, I'd rather have some distance from it, if that's all right. Okay. Like the front and the near side of the moon. Yeah. Cool. Awesome. Right. For next one is transient Luna Phenomena, which are also known as TLPs, which are really, really strange. So it's like little, little things that just happen. On the moon, but aren't really explained. So some, sometimes it can be like a really sudden bright point. It can be glows, it can be like gas or fog. Uh, some things get like darker or lighter and they can last for like seconds up to a few hours. And we've got reports of this going back to like the year 1540. Um, and we've got a list of over 1000. 400 of these things. Um, it, it's something real. And we, we have like, we have some explanations to what some of these things could be. There could be some like outgassing, there could be like, um, the moon getting hit by objects, but a lot of them are, are unexplained and we just really don't know. But it's like something's going up, going on at va but we're not, not sure what clangers. It must be, yeah. Alright. Round us up. Okay. And a really strange one. Um, NASA many, many years ago, deliberately crashed, um, a spent, uh, rocket stage into mean surface. And what they said was the mean, rang like a bell. Now, this isn't like a boom, but what, not like a doorbell. No, bing don. Yeah. But what they actually meant was, uh, in terms of seismic activity, so. Because they had like, uh, seismographs in place on the moon, and when this rocket hit it, instead of it being like a, a short kind of whatever, it, it lasted for way, way longer than they expected. Um, leading. Well, I mean, it sounds like a sort of conspiracy sort of thing, and a lot of people think that because some people would say, well, this is a. Evidence of why hum must be artificial. And it is a, a really weird one 'cause it, it shouldn't do that given that we know, or we think we know what it's made of, but we clearly don't.'cause it sounded more like, it's like a, a death star or something made of metal in it. Rung like that. That's like hitting the wall in the Truman Show or something. Oh, I haven't seen the Truman show. I really should. What? Right. Yeah. Ladies and gentlemen, close the podcast. Right? Go right now. Get it. Watch it. It's gotta be carry in it. You can't go wrong. Well, that rounds us up for the top five. It also rounds us up for this week's episode of Temporarily Scripted. We will be back next week. We dunno what state we'll be in because it's Tet, so there'll be likely rice wine consumed. But if you've enjoyed today's show, don't forget. Give us a like, subscribe and thank you for joining us today, Adam. Appreciate you as always. We'll see you in the next one. Yep, likewise. Alright folks. See you next time.
