1
00:00:13,073 --> 00:00:14,629
OK
2
00:00:15,874 --> 00:00:16,116
All right.
3
00:00:16,116 --> 00:00:24,590
this should work
4
00:00:26,734 --> 00:00:27,633
Hello
5
00:00:27,633 --> 00:00:30,365
My name is Chinese Room

00:00:30,365 --> 00:00:32,683
I am a digital avatar

Piloted, or you could say driven
8
00:00:36,971 --> 00:00:37,939
by a human
9
00:00:37,939 --> 00:00:39,876
I am human driven
10
00:00:39,876 --> 00:00:43,577
I am a human driven avatar, not
11
00:00:43,577 --> 00:00:45,272
AI
12
00:00:45,272 --> 00:00:46,655
driven
13
00:00:46,655 --> 00:00:47,831
Oh, no. Where’d I go?
14
00:00:47,831 --> 00:00:50,528
Oh, Oh there I go
15
00:00:51,774 --> 00:00:53,710
Not A.I.,
16
00:00:54,713 --> 00:00:56,615
but human driven
17
00:00:56,615 --> 00:00:58,068
Human
18
00:00:58,448 --> 00:01:04,639
My human driver
19
00:01:04,639 --> 00:01:06,196
My human driver is
20
00:01:06,472 --> 00:01:07,856
Tim Tsang
21
00:01:08,617 --> 00:01:10,899
Tim Tsang my human driver is
22
00:01:10,968 --> 00:01:15,188
Tim Tsang Tim Tsang is a human being
23
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:18,785
He lives in the Silicon Valley
24
00:01:20,376 --> 00:01:21,759
He's an Uber driver
25
00:01:21,759 --> 00:01:22,969
A five star
26
00:01:22,969 --> 00:01:25,563
5.0.....5.0 star
27
00:01:25,805 --> 00:01:28,607
5.0 rating
28
00:01:28,987 --> 00:01:30,544
Uber driver
29
00:01:30,544 --> 00:01:32,965
And in the Silicon Valley
30
00:01:32,965 --> 00:01:35,870
And he drives people every day
31
00:01:36,596 --> 00:01:39,639
in model three in a Tesla, Model 3
32
00:01:39,639 --> 00:01:42,994
a blue 2022 Tesla
33
00:01:44,101 --> 00:01:45,000
for Uber
34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,660
Actually, he got his car from Hertz
35
00:01:46,660 --> 00:01:51,537
They have this like program or whatever,
like for Uber drivers
36
00:01:51,537 --> 00:01:53,923
It's like you get like a weekly rate
37
00:01:53,923 --> 00:01:55,825
We rent them, you don't actually own them
38
00:01:55,825 --> 00:02:00,771
It costs like $65,000
to uh, to buy a Tesla model 3
39
00:02:01,670 --> 00:02:05,267
The prices went down
kind of like about 15% I heard
40
00:02:05,267 --> 00:02:07,757
‘cause like
nobody likes Elon Musk anymore
41
00:02:11,112 --> 00:02:12,461
But still, I don't have,
42
00:02:12,876 --> 00:02:16,334
IDK...$50,000 like lying around
43
00:02:16,922 --> 00:02:20,000
And and by the way,
you don't want to own a Tesla and
44
00:02:20,934 --> 00:02:22,836
and drive Uber to make money
45
00:02:22,836 --> 00:02:26,814
because if there's a problem with your car
that you're going to take it to the shop
46
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,794
and it's just all these horror stories
from my riders
47
00:02:31,794 --> 00:02:35,010
who are Tesla owners
where like, you know, you don't
48
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,261
You like, have a crack
in your windshield
49
00:02:38,261 --> 00:02:41,063
or something,
or you need to change a tire or
50
00:02:41,478 --> 00:02:44,729
and it takes a month to do it,
not 2 hours
51
00:02:44,902 --> 00:02:47,599
You know, you can't go to Jiffy Lube,
you know, and whatever
52
00:02:48,429 --> 00:02:51,577
And it's all like, Oh, well,
if I don't have my car for one month,
53
00:02:51,577 --> 00:02:53,859
I can't work for one month.
That's no good
54
00:02:53,859 --> 00:02:56,557
So rental kind of is the way to go
55
00:02:56,592 --> 00:03:01,088
However, I end up spending
like it's like 395...$299
56
00:03:01,088 --> 00:03:01,779
a week
57
00:03:02,817 --> 00:03:04,650
plus SuperCharging insurance
58
00:03:04,650 --> 00:03:06,414
That's like $500 a week
59
00:03:06,414 --> 00:03:07,451
Actually
60
00:03:07,451 --> 00:03:09,111
$500 x 4
61
00:03:09,111 --> 00:03:10,011
I'm spending basically
62
00:03:10,011 --> 00:03:14,541
$2000 a month on this frigging car
63
00:03:14,541 --> 00:03:14,783
OKAY
64
00:03:14,783 --> 00:03:15,821
Okay
65
00:03:16,789 --> 00:03:18,380
And so
66
00:03:18,380 --> 00:03:19,452
people are always like
67
00:03:19,452 --> 00:03:22,427
Well,
do you make a profit?
68
00:03:22,427 --> 00:03:23,395
Do you think about it?
69
00:03:23,395 --> 00:03:26,542
I'm Chinese,
of course I make a profit! hahaha No,
70
00:03:27,753 --> 00:03:29,240
my name is Chinese Room
71
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,693
I am an avatar
72
00:03:30,693 --> 00:03:33,529
A human driven avatar, to be exact
73
00:03:34,462 --> 00:03:35,604
Yeah, there's a difference
74
00:03:35,604 --> 00:03:38,613
There's like, you know, like there's a
AI driven stuff
75
00:03:38,613 --> 00:03:41,241
out there, and it's.
76
00:03:42,140 --> 00:03:43,316
It's a little different
77
00:03:43,316 --> 00:03:45,772
I mean, you guys know, like,
Chat GPT, right?
78
00:03:45,806 --> 00:03:50,060
And that's like, they they promise
that they're not human beings
79
00:03:50,233 --> 00:03:50,544
Right
80
00:03:50,544 --> 00:03:53,346
It's like kind of I'm kind of lagging
81
00:03:53,380 --> 00:03:54,764
I mean, we check my settings
82
00:03:56,147 --> 00:03:57,600
Oh, that's because I didn't press play
83
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,568
There we go
84
00:03:58,568 --> 00:04:00,747
There we go
85
00:04:00,747 --> 00:04:02,961
Okay, let's try this again
86
00:04:02,961 --> 00:04:04,863
So my name is
87
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:07,007

It's a big deal. Yep
91
00:04:18,766 --> 00:04:20,564
Oh, so I was just taking my dog for a walk

00:04:23,642 --> 00:04:26,651
Yeah, we met this very nice 12 year
94
00:04:26,651 --> 00:04:29,038
old dog
95
00:04:30,525 --> 00:04:37,511
named Tesla
96
00:04:37,511 --> 00:04:46,849
I'm Chinese, by the way
97
00:04:46,849 --> 00:04:57,398
4:33
98
00:04:59,749 --> 00:05:01,410
Well,
99
00:05:01,548 --> 00:05:04,211
I wanted to tell you about my endeavors
100
00:05:04,903 --> 00:05:07,842
in creating a company
101
00:05:07,946 --> 00:05:08,880
it’s called
102
00:05:08,984 --> 00:05:12,235
Real Friends, LLC
103
00:05:12,235 --> 00:05:15,002
Real - because, I mean, who wants fake friends,
right?
104
00:05:15,832 --> 00:05:18,080
And, uh...and
105
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,362
But we need friends.
We need friends. We do.
106
00:05:20,362 --> 00:05:23,613
I mean, living in this day and age,
it's...it's no joke
107
00:05:23,682 --> 00:05:25,619
You know, You need friends
108
00:05:25,619 --> 00:05:27,383
I need friends
109
00:05:27,383 --> 00:05:30,496
And this is my trick: Making friends
110
00:05:31,464 --> 00:05:34,611
while making money
111
00:05:34,611 --> 00:05:36,929
But no, I mean, I have friends for real
112
00:05:37,136 --> 00:05:37,793
Well, sure
113
00:05:37,793 --> 00:05:48,238

114
00:05:48,238 --> 00:05:54,325
I am a Chinese avatar
115
00:05:54,325 --> 00:05:56,677
What does it mean to be Chinese food?
116
00:05:57,853 --> 00:06:11,963
Well,
117
00:06:11,963 --> 00:06:30,397
yeah
118
00:06:32,265 --> 00:06:33,510
7 minutes...OK good
119
00:06:33,821 --> 00:06:36,795
um
120
00:06:38,663 --> 00:06:40,289
Hi, my name is Chinese Boom!
121
00:06:40,289 --> 00:06:42,433
And I want to tell you about myself
122
00:06:43,609 --> 00:06:44,577
No. Hi.
123
00:06:44,577 --> 00:06:48,312
My name is Chinese Room,
and I want to tell you about
124
00:06:48,312 --> 00:06:50,042
Real Friends, LLC
125
00:06:50,284 --> 00:06:52,878
It was inspired by this
126
00:06:53,085 --> 00:06:53,915
film.
127
00:06:53,915 --> 00:06:57,374
A movie
or whatever I was watching by Werner Herzog
128
00:06:57,858 --> 00:06:59,241
titled, uh,
129
00:06:59,241 --> 00:07:01,282
Family Romance LLC
130
00:07:01,282 --> 00:07:02,976
It was kind of like a fake..well not a fake-
131
00:07:03,115 --> 00:07:05,916
it was a documentary of, uh,
132
00:07:06,435 --> 00:07:08,960
this real company in Japan
133
00:07:09,582 --> 00:07:13,421
called Family
Romance LLC, hence the title
134
00:07:14,563 --> 00:07:16,707
they basically, like, provide
135
00:07:17,710 --> 00:07:21,687
like fake dads and moms and brothers and
136
00:07:23,935 --> 00:07:25,491
cousins, sisters, whatever.
137
00:07:25,491 --> 00:07:27,739
You know, babies are not babies.
I don't know.
138
00:07:27,739 --> 00:07:33,550
They provide babies but like, yeah, like,
so they have like stand in family members
139
00:07:33,550 --> 00:07:34,864
or stand-in
140
00:07:35,175 --> 00:07:37,112
boyfriends or friends
141
00:07:37,112 --> 00:07:41,643
or classmates or like, even work people.
142
00:07:41,643 --> 00:07:43,752
There is one scene where it was like
143
00:07:44,652 --> 00:07:47,453
somebody really screwed up at work
144
00:07:47,972 --> 00:07:51,707
and they work for the
I don't know what it's Japan.
145
00:07:51,707 --> 00:07:56,964
It's called like the MTA and like the the
railway, you know, train station people.
146
00:07:59,316 --> 00:08:00,699
I think the train was
147
00:08:00,699 --> 00:08:02,013
train conductor!
148
00:08:02,013 --> 00:08:06,717
The train was 2 minutes late
and so or something off schedule.
149
00:08:06,717 --> 00:08:09,933
And like in Japan,
like when you screw up at work
150
00:08:09,933 --> 00:08:12,216
I think I don't
know everywhere but like just
151
00:08:14,983 --> 00:08:17,023
the #boss was supposed to like
152
00:08:17,023 --> 00:08:22,211
just totally berate the worker
and then the and then the workers.
153
00:08:22,384 --> 00:08:22,937
Oh, sorry.
154
00:08:22,937 --> 00:08:24,252
I was like, oh, symbolisms.
155
00:08:24,252 --> 00:08:27,537
Like very. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
156
00:08:27,537 --> 00:08:31,549
And they have to, like,
bowed to the floor and the ground and and
157
00:08:33,002 --> 00:08:35,665
they just couldn't
they didn't have the heart to kind of
158
00:08:35,665 --> 00:08:38,155
go through
with this kind of ritual or procedure.
159
00:08:38,155 --> 00:08:38,639
And so
160
00:08:38,639 --> 00:08:42,132
they hired
[[[Family Romance LLC]]]
to have like
161
00:08:42,132 --> 00:08:46,144
a stand-in apologizer, basically.
162
00:08:47,700 --> 00:08:51,297
And so they they I think they had one
or two, you know, kind of people show up.
163
00:08:51,297 --> 00:08:51,609
Yeah.
164
00:08:51,609 --> 00:08:55,344
And basically take the blame,
you know, for the hit or whatever
165
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,938
and uh
166
00:08:57,938 --> 00:09:00,497
I'm Chinese.
167
00:09:00,497 --> 00:09:02,468
It was just really funny like yeah.
168
00:09:02,468 --> 00:09:05,097
To kind of see how
yeah that kind of played into motion.
169
00:09:05,097 --> 00:09:08,625
I was deeply inspired
by not only the movie
170
00:09:08,625 --> 00:09:11,703
but like also this the company itself.
171
00:09:11,703 --> 00:09:13,259
Yeah, Family Romance LLC.
172
00:09:13,259 --> 00:09:16,614
So it made me kind of
want to start my own company, basically.
173
00:09:16,614 --> 00:09:17,686
And, and so I did. I did.
174
00:09:17,686 --> 00:09:19,934
I started my own company, it’s real.
175
00:09:19,934 --> 00:09:20,833
It's called
176
00:09:20,833 --> 00:09:24,015
Real Friends, LLC
177
00:09:24,015 --> 00:09:27,681
Haha get it? Real Friends, LLC.
178
00:09:27,854 --> 00:09:32,661
LLC, LLC is limited Liability corporation.
179
00:09:32,730 --> 00:09:33,076
Right.
180
00:09:33,076 --> 00:09:34,079
So you know,
you got like
181
00:09:34,736 --> 00:09:36,189
Google is an LLC...
182
00:09:36,811 --> 00:09:38,299
I am a LLC
183
00:09:38,299 --> 00:09:40,823
Real Friends is a LLC
184
00:09:40,823 --> 00:09:44,662
I don't know who else is LLC...
185
00:09:44,662 --> 00:09:46,807
You mean you see them around? Yeah. Yeah.
186
00:09:47,118 --> 00:09:50,646
And so what distinguishes
that is just basically
187
00:09:51,095 --> 00:09:55,072
if I get sued for something,
you can't make me lose my house.
188
00:09:55,072 --> 00:09:57,528
Basically, IRS will take my house.
189
00:09:57,528 --> 00:09:59,984
I don't even have a house. But.
190
00:10:00,226 --> 00:10:02,059
But they can take my car.
191
00:10:02,059 --> 00:10:04,307
Well, actually, my car is a rental
192
00:10:04,410 --> 00:10:05,275
I rent it from Hertz.
193
00:10:05,275 --> 00:10:07,074
I pay $2,000 a month.
194
00:10:07,074 --> 00:10:08,630
I'm Chinese,
195
00:10:09,391 --> 00:10:11,362
so maybe that's okay.
196
00:10:11,362 --> 00:10:13,541
Yeah. Um,
197
00:10:14,751 --> 00:10:15,685
LLC means.
198
00:10:15,685 --> 00:10:18,383
Yeah, you kind of do business.
199
00:10:18,383 --> 00:10:21,496
You set up
kind of like this corporate entity
200
00:10:21,496 --> 00:10:24,747
where it has limited liability.
201
00:10:24,747 --> 00:10:28,966
So I could lose the company
if things go bad.
202
00:10:28,966 --> 00:10:29,658
I guess
203
00:10:33,220 --> 00:10:34,119
it's.
204
00:10:34,119 --> 00:10:35,952
Yeah, it's kind of cool.
205
00:10:35,952 --> 00:10:37,958
Yeah, I've been doing it for a while, but
206
00:10:38,788 --> 00:10:40,068
two weeks
207
00:10:41,417 --> 00:10:41,728
actually.
208
00:10:41,728 --> 00:10:43,907
We haven't launched yet, so I don't know
why I'm telling you about this,
209
00:10:43,907 --> 00:10:48,437
but this is a commercial
about Real Friends LLC.
210

Do you wish they were real?
212
00:10:52,207 --> 00:10:53,452
Do you have real friends?
213
00:10:53,452 --> 00:10:55,458
But they have no time for you?
214
00:10:55,458 --> 00:10:58,052
Well, look no further.
215
00:10:58,052 --> 00:11:01,096
Try real friends LLC today
216

217
00:11:16,071 --> 00:11:18,112
Oh, speaking of
218
00:11:19,668 --> 00:11:21,639
elevator pitches, I.
219
00:11:21,743 --> 00:11:26,654
I had a chat GPT that GPT3
you know based
220
00:11:27,588 --> 00:11:29,836
it is like a little quickly cooked
221
00:11:30,839 --> 00:11:33,606
version of language model
222
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,926
AI driven language model that
223
00:11:37,894 --> 00:11:39,208
Open AI
224
00:11:39,208 --> 00:11:41,145
released a little while ago
225
00:11:41,145 --> 00:11:44,362
and then it got like 1
million hits within one week.
226
00:11:45,607 --> 00:11:46,990
It's faster than Instagram.
227
00:11:46,990 --> 00:11:49,757
It's faster than anybody, you know,
like I think Instagram
228
00:11:49,930 --> 00:11:53,873
took like a year or something
or half a year to reach 1 million users.
229
00:11:53,873 --> 00:11:55,913
But basically, yeah,
230
00:11:55,913 --> 00:12:00,271
they're they're forced to oh,
they're forced to charge people money.
231
00:12:00,271 --> 00:12:03,453
Now they're like, yeah,
they're really cool.
232
00:12:03,453 --> 00:12:04,248
I don't know, whatever.
233
00:12:04,248 --> 00:12:07,845
But so
anyway, ChatGPT is like a Google search,
234
00:12:07,845 --> 00:12:11,373
but like a conversational Google
search engine, you know, so to speak.
235
00:12:11,926 --> 00:12:18,428
And so you could be like,
“Hey ChatGPT, write me an elevator pitch
236
00:12:18,428 --> 00:12:22,613
of a company called [Real Friends, LLC]”
237
00:12:22,613 --> 00:12:24,065
and they would just spit back.
238
00:12:24,065 --> 00:12:26,141
In fact, here
I'll read you some of this stuff.
239
00:12:26,141 --> 00:12:29,150
Real Friends, LLC
is a social networking company
240
00:12:29,150 --> 00:12:33,196

a variety of activities

245
00:12:52,667 --> 00:12:53,013
group
246
00:12:53,013 --> 00:12:55,815
fitness classes, group fitness classes,
247
00:12:56,057 --> 00:13:00,000
Happy Hours and Outdoor Adventures
with Real Friends, LLC
248
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,530
You'll never have to feel alone.
249
00:13:04,530 --> 00:13:09,199
And then I had it do like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...I had (ChatGPT) do it 6 times
250
00:13:09,407 --> 00:13:13,211
and to see kind of like,
you know, what the common factors were
251
00:13:13,211 --> 00:13:17,500
and like, you know,
I kept saying it was a social platform.
252
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:18,745
I don't think real, Real Friends
253
00:13:18,745 --> 00:13:21,927
LLC is meant to be a social,
but I think it's more of a service.
254
00:13:22,584 --> 00:13:24,347
Give me money and I'll be your friend.
255
00:13:24,347 --> 00:13:25,454
Basically.
256
00:13:25,454 --> 00:13:28,809
I don't want to just be a networking,
257
00:13:29,328 --> 00:13:31,680
you know, I don't want to provide career
opportunities.
258
00:13:31,714 --> 00:13:33,167
We have enough of those already.
259
00:13:33,167 --> 00:13:36,037
I don't want to connect people with
260
00:13:37,179 --> 00:13:43,577
interesting hobbies
or whatever, (that’s) not friendship.
261
00:13:44,718 --> 00:13:47,139
Yeah, I mean, it's it's connection.
262
00:13:47,312 --> 00:13:49,526
It's not it's human connection,
but it's not.
263
00:13:49,906 --> 00:13:50,805
It's not friendship.
264
00:13:50,805 --> 00:13:54,471
Friendships are about work.
265
00:13:55,543 --> 00:13:57,342
It's about commitment.
266
00:13:57,342 --> 00:13:58,898
It's about relationships.
267
00:13:58,898 --> 00:14:02,702
It's about what you put in
as much as what you get out of it.
268
00:14:03,775 --> 00:14:06,853
It's not about what you get out of it.
269
00:14:07,129 --> 00:14:09,377
What you get out of is not the end goal.
270
00:14:09,377 --> 00:14:13,043
And as a society, I mean, we’ve become so
271
00:14:14,358 --> 00:14:16,122
capitalistic, consumer driven,
272
00:14:16,122 --> 00:14:19,995
whatever, to an extent
where human relationships,
273
00:14:20,203 --> 00:14:22,174
you know, uh
274
00:14:24,111 --> 00:14:27,846
we don't put a dollar sign,
we put we put a value on on them.
275
00:14:28,330 --> 00:14:32,204
You know, I want to be friends
with this person based on what
276
00:14:32,204 --> 00:14:38,049
they can give me, how they could help
my social status, how they could help my
277
00:14:39,052 --> 00:14:44,447
my career, my family, whatever, standing
278
00:14:46,003 --> 00:14:47,352
as it put me,
279
00:14:47,352 --> 00:14:49,808
you know, in a good place or whatever,
280
00:14:50,845 --> 00:14:55,618
does it make me feel a certain way
by engaging in this relationship,
281
00:14:55,618 --> 00:14:59,111
not just on my romantic or Tinder or,
you know, whatever, but just friendships
282
00:15:00,149 --> 00:15:03,365
human relations,
you know, in general,
283
00:15:04,368 --> 00:15:08,726
your neighbor,
how do you engage with them,
284
00:15:08,726 --> 00:15:12,703
you know, based on...
do you like the way they look?
285
00:15:12,703 --> 00:15:15,643
Are they shy?
Do they have your social status?
286
00:15:17,164 --> 00:15:21,557
do they reinforce your identity
of who you are?
287
00:15:21,591 --> 00:15:23,736
You know, which is not
they're not bad things.
288
00:15:24,220 --> 00:15:29,615
But I feel like because we love money
so much, but we're controlled by money
289
00:15:29,615 --> 00:15:32,416
because we're enslaved by it so much that
290
00:15:33,039 --> 00:15:37,155
the human,
the way we relate to other human beings
291
00:15:37,155 --> 00:15:42,031
has definitely been kind of jeopardized,
you know, to a degree where
292
00:15:43,276 --> 00:15:44,141
it it
293
00:15:44,141 --> 00:15:48,118
yeah, it controls our every decision,
you know, in terms of like who we talk
294
00:15:48,118 --> 00:15:51,335
to, who we don't talk to, at least smile
and who we ignore, who we
295
00:15:52,476 --> 00:15:55,934
decide to kind of engage with or not,
296
00:15:56,834 --> 00:15:59,773
and what Real Friends, LLC
297
00:15:59,773 --> 00:16:02,609
what we want to try
and do is like, you know,
298
00:16:03,197 --> 00:16:06,102
we can't pretend that
this reality is not real.
299
00:16:06,102 --> 00:16:09,803
So it can't be like, Oh, well,
let's just be friends, let's just be real,
300
00:16:09,872 --> 00:16:13,711
you know, who has time
and money and energy to be real?
301
00:16:14,991 --> 00:16:17,101
You you just got to get the job done.
302
00:16:17,101 --> 00:16:17,965
You got to do stuff.
303
00:16:17,965 --> 00:16:21,078
You've got work to do,
You got life to live, you know, And
304
00:16:22,185 --> 00:16:23,637
and so,
305
00:16:23,637 --> 00:16:28,514
I mean, out of all the different sources
I was looking at, like Forbes magazine
306
00:16:29,655 --> 00:16:31,315
article about
307
00:16:31,315 --> 00:16:34,324
friendships,
and one thing that stood out to me
308
00:16:34,324 --> 00:16:37,125
was that friendships require work
309
00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:38,267
and work
310
00:16:38,267 --> 00:16:41,276
work = time, money,
311
00:16:41,414 --> 00:16:44,942
effort, energy, well-being, health
312
00:16:45,426 --> 00:16:45,979
Right
313
00:16:46,602 --> 00:16:50,199
And so if you can quantify
314
00:16:50,199 --> 00:16:52,965
the work that is required
315
00:16:53,415 --> 00:16:56,908
to put into friendships, which is why
people don't have friends anyways,
316
00:16:56,908 --> 00:17:00,782
if you don't have time to put into,
you know, energy,
317
00:17:00,782 --> 00:17:03,376
you know, to to kind of
318
00:17:04,067 --> 00:17:04,690
I don't know.
319
00:17:04,690 --> 00:17:06,212
I mean, how many Facebook friends
do you have?
320
00:17:06,212 --> 00:17:07,457
Like 2000.
321
00:17:07,457 --> 00:17:10,846
You can't
you don't have enough hours in the day to
322
00:17:11,019 --> 00:17:14,132
to contact
to get to know all 2000 of them.
323
00:17:14,132 --> 00:17:14,408
Right.
324
00:17:14,408 --> 00:17:15,065
And so
325
00:17:16,276 --> 00:17:19,216
what I want to do is
326
00:17:20,253 --> 00:17:22,640
not reach 2000 people,
but I want to be your friend.
327
00:17:23,055 --> 00:17:24,473
I want to be your real friend.
328
00:17:24,473 --> 00:17:26,375
I want to be there for you
329
00:17:27,551 --> 00:17:29,280
if you give me money.
330
00:17:29,557 --> 00:17:32,116
And just the money is not so much like,
331
00:17:32,289 --> 00:17:35,747
Oh, I'm going to get rich, but like,
332
00:17:35,747 --> 00:17:38,722
let me be your friend as my day job.
333
00:17:39,137 --> 00:17:41,938
You know, basically, instead of
334
00:17:43,321 --> 00:17:46,434
Uber driving, I don't mind Uber driving.
335
00:17:46,434 --> 00:17:48,198
It's kind of a good job, you know?
336
00:17:48,198 --> 00:17:52,487
While I'm driving,
I've befriended a lot of people
337
00:17:52,487 --> 00:17:56,187
in a very real way,
Like people have cried in my car.
338
00:17:56,187 --> 00:17:57,363
I'm not bragging or anything,
339
00:17:57,363 --> 00:18:00,925
but I just like really love connecting
with other human beings.
340
00:18:02,343 --> 00:18:04,280
Really extreme example.
341
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:11,024
There was a woman who was a really middle
aged woman, was like really kinda
342
00:18:11,024 --> 00:18:14,863
emotionally abused,
actually...really sad...by her
343
00:18:14,863 --> 00:18:19,636
by her husband,
and she really had nowhere to go.
344
00:18:20,189 --> 00:18:21,849
I think I found her
345
00:18:22,991 --> 00:18:25,170
with her housekeeper or something,
346
00:18:25,515 --> 00:18:30,738
and she was just,
you know, in a really bad place and
347
00:18:32,536 --> 00:18:34,819
really wanted a
348
00:18:34,819 --> 00:18:37,516
some alcohol and drinks and stuff.
349
00:18:37,516 --> 00:18:39,107
And and I think
350
00:18:39,107 --> 00:18:42,497
that she she just drank too much
and she couldn't really get up and stuff
351
00:18:42,497 --> 00:18:49,068
and but she, she supposed to go home
but just really didn't want to go home
352
00:18:49,068 --> 00:18:53,357
you know, because her abusers there
and she had told her to call the police.
353
00:18:53,357 --> 00:18:54,809
You know what you do?
354
00:18:54,809 --> 00:18:56,262
I call the police already.
355
00:18:56,262 --> 00:19:00,066
But, you know, since he didn't touch her
physically, then, like there's nothing
356
00:19:00,066 --> 00:19:01,207
they can do about it.
357
00:19:01,207 --> 00:19:04,562
And it's like, well,
you report you can't report anybody.
358
00:19:04,562 --> 00:19:07,329
So I think, yeah, I don't know.
359
00:19:07,329 --> 00:19:08,366
I was there for her
360
00:19:08,366 --> 00:19:12,171
and I hung out with her for a little bit
longer than the typical ride
361
00:19:13,381 --> 00:19:13,866
I walked
362
00:19:13,866 --> 00:19:17,151
her inside and made sure she got home
safely and
363
00:19:18,362 --> 00:19:18,777
that.
364
00:19:19,053 --> 00:19:22,512
But yeah, she was like,
Oh my goodness, why are there
365
00:19:22,512 --> 00:19:24,829
not more people like you out there?
Blah, blah, blah.
366
00:19:24,829 --> 00:19:30,224
And it was very unusual
and but at the same time, it's
367
00:19:30,985 --> 00:19:34,651
I'm afraid to think even then to say it
like it.
368
00:19:34,651 --> 00:19:38,075
It's actually quite common, you know,
especially in the Silicon Valley,
369
00:19:38,075 --> 00:19:42,122
where people are kind of the values
of like family and money and
370
00:19:42,156 --> 00:19:47,897
and just like are just so heavy
that you can't escape it.
371
00:19:47,897 --> 00:19:51,010
And this woman didn't even have a credit
card, You know, she couldn't
372
00:19:51,045 --> 00:19:51,702
even run away.
373
00:19:51,702 --> 00:19:52,705
She didn't have a phone.
374
00:19:52,705 --> 00:19:55,368
She had an Olive Garden gift card.
375
00:19:55,368 --> 00:19:56,371
She wanted to give it to me.
376
00:19:56,371 --> 00:19:59,898
I was like, No, I think I'm alright lol i dont
think I'm going to take a gift card. And
377
00:20:01,593 --> 00:20:03,876
but uh
378
00:20:04,913 --> 00:20:08,856
know not every rider is like this, but,
you know, like, I'm.
379
00:20:09,340 --> 00:20:11,969
I'm here, I'm here,
380
00:20:12,176 --> 00:20:15,393
I, I don't
I don't need to advance my career.
381
00:20:15,393 --> 00:20:20,684
I'm not looking to be rich and famous.
382
00:20:20,684 --> 00:20:24,143
I’ve found the meaning of life that I needed.
383
00:20:25,249 --> 00:20:26,252
I lived my life already
384
00:20:26,494 --> 00:20:28,915
I still got to live it too
385
00:20:29,538 --> 00:20:33,757
yeah, I feel like, you know,
386
00:20:33,861 --> 00:20:37,838
there's like, some senior
driving hanging out.
387
00:20:37,838 --> 00:20:42,680
Hey, what kind of music
do you like to listen to?
388
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:44,721
I'll engage with you.
389
00:20:44,721 --> 00:20:48,975
I drove this guy
goes, Oh, man, my heart really hurts.
390
00:20:48,975 --> 00:20:50,358
He had a heart condition.
391
00:20:50,358 --> 00:20:51,672
He was on his way to a hospital
392
00:20:51,672 --> 00:20:54,059
dude call 911 don’t call an Uber
393
00:20:54,059 --> 00:20:58,036
But, you know, I got to kind of talk
to him and, like, hear his life story.
394
00:20:59,973 --> 00:21:01,356
Then, you know,
395
00:21:01,356 --> 00:21:04,815
I don't talk to the high school kids,
but like,
396
00:21:04,815 --> 00:21:07,236
yeah, I'm here for you.
397
00:21:07,236 --> 00:21:08,654
I really am.
398
00:21:08,654 --> 00:21:11,317
I am a real friend.
399
00:21:11,317 --> 00:21:14,775
And part of me is like, oh, man,
I wish we could kind of
400
00:21:15,813 --> 00:21:19,963
chat more, you know,
kind of that goes beyond this (Uber) ride
401
00:21:19,963 --> 00:21:21,589
I'm not looking
for a relationship like I'm not
402
00:21:21,589 --> 00:21:23,975
I don’t want sex. You know, it's
not that I'm. I'm married
403
00:21:23,975 --> 00:21:27,364
I have a kid, blah blah blah. But like,
404
00:21:27,364 --> 00:21:30,685
yeah, I feel like our world
405
00:21:31,757 --> 00:21:35,872
needs more friends
and we need to learn how to be friends.
406
00:21:36,564 --> 00:21:38,743
I think we've
407
00:21:38,743 --> 00:21:42,478
either forgotten
or never really learned, you know?
408
00:21:42,478 --> 00:21:46,283
And I think that it would be really great
409
00:21:46,283 --> 00:21:49,395
if we really did
and we were able to to be that way.
410
00:21:49,395 --> 00:21:51,228
And but, you know,
we just don't have the time.
411
00:21:51,228 --> 00:21:54,168
We don't have the effort, we don't have
the energy, we don't have the money
412
00:21:55,309 --> 00:21:57,557
to invest that
413
00:21:59,217 --> 00:22:00,532
into our relationships.
414
00:22:00,532 --> 00:22:01,327
And so
415
00:22:02,261 --> 00:22:06,031
that's kind of where I feel like
I want to sort of step
416
00:22:06,031 --> 00:22:09,766
in, you know, and say,
hey, give me a little bit of money
417
00:22:10,561 --> 00:22:14,608
and I will make it my day job
to be your friend.
418
00:22:14,746 --> 00:22:17,063
And hopefully not only end there, but
419
00:22:17,651 --> 00:22:20,176
kind of remind you
420
00:22:20,176 --> 00:22:25,986
or kind of get you going or show
you an example of how you
421
00:22:26,055 --> 00:22:30,171
you could could potentially,
you know, engage with other human beings.
422
00:22:30,171 --> 00:22:32,281
It doesn't have to be,
423
00:22:32,385 --> 00:22:34,391
you know, what can I get from this person?
424
00:22:34,391 --> 00:22:39,855
But it's more like,
how can I offer something to someone?
425
00:22:39,855 --> 00:22:43,590
You know, a lot of these people,
426
00:22:44,247 --> 00:22:48,363
I mean, we we're all lonely,
you know, very honest.
427
00:22:48,363 --> 00:22:52,271
And, you know, people are struggling
with like terminal illnesses
428
00:22:53,620 --> 00:22:55,937
or maybe loved ones that, you know,
429
00:22:57,459 --> 00:23:01,298
aren't doing too well and stuff and,
you know,
430
00:23:01,332 --> 00:23:04,445
you have a math test coming up.
431
00:23:04,445 --> 00:23:06,866
Wanna talk about it? :)
432
00:23:07,143 --> 00:23:08,734
Um, yeah.
433
00:23:08,734 --> 00:23:09,183
I don't know.
434
00:23:09,183 --> 00:23:11,985
Troubled family member.
435
00:23:11,985 --> 00:23:13,195
I'm not a therapist.
436
00:23:13,195 --> 00:23:15,236
Yeah, I'm not
437
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,524
I'm not licensed,
but I love to listen to people.
438
00:23:19,524 --> 00:23:22,533
I love hearing their lives.
439
00:23:22,533 --> 00:23:25,335
I love engaging with them.
440
00:23:25,335 --> 00:23:30,073
I've I've sat with people for 5 hours
that not said anything.
441
00:23:30,073 --> 00:23:32,701
You know, just allow
442
00:23:32,770 --> 00:23:34,845
those moments to me are real.
443
00:23:35,814 --> 00:23:38,442
Yeah, Yeah, me, me, me.
444
00:23:38,442 --> 00:23:41,140
Like real to be meaning my driver.
445
00:23:41,417 --> 00:23:42,039
Yeah.
446
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:44,183
Tim Tsang. He's a five star,
447
00:23:44,841 --> 00:23:50,028
5.0 rating Uber driver
with seven years of experience.
448
00:23:50,028 --> 00:23:52,622
And I'm Chinese,
449
00:23:52,622 --> 00:23:56,115
but that those meetings
those those those those moments.
450
00:23:56,150 --> 00:23:56,945
Yeah, they're real
451
00:23:59,263 --> 00:24:03,482
and and I have to be serious and stuff.
452
00:24:03,482 --> 00:24:05,868
But yeah, I'm a serious guy.
453
00:24:05,868 --> 00:24:07,943
I'm Chinese What can I say?
454
00:24:07,943 --> 00:24:11,921
You know, like not mainland China
455
00:24:11,921 --> 00:24:17,385
but like I was born in Hong Kong in 1985
456
00:24:18,146 --> 00:24:20,636
and as I'm 37,
457
00:24:20,636 --> 00:24:23,541
I left Hong Kong
when I was seven years old.
458
00:24:24,199 --> 00:24:28,764
I was like 1992,
right before the 97 handover.
459
00:24:28,764 --> 00:24:32,153
Take over, whatever you want to call it,
you know, back to China, you know,
460
00:24:32,153 --> 00:24:35,819
because, you know, the outcome was like
a British colony or whatever. And,
461
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,523
you know, that whole back
and lot of people, you know, left
462
00:24:40,869 --> 00:24:43,808
because in fear of, you know,
463
00:24:44,465 --> 00:24:48,097
how things would change
when China took over
464
00:24:48,304 --> 00:24:51,106
and things did change,
you know, and change a lot.
465
00:24:51,798 --> 00:24:55,187
Um, depending on who you ask me,
you're not supposed to speak
466
00:24:55,187 --> 00:24:58,196
about the Chinese government, but, um.
467
00:24:58,576 --> 00:25:01,862
Yeah, so. So there. I'm Chinese.
468
00:25:03,245 --> 00:25:04,629
What does it mean to be Chinese?
469
00:25:04,629 --> 00:25:07,395
Yeah, like, that's pretty much it.
470
00:25:07,395 --> 00:25:11,234
I actually don't know that much about Hong
Kong history, you know?
471
00:25:11,234 --> 00:25:13,482
I mean, I know there was,
like, the Opium War.
472
00:25:13,482 --> 00:25:16,595
I know we love fishing,
and then we made a lot of money,
473
00:25:16,595 --> 00:25:19,293
and we like the British and.
474
00:25:19,812 --> 00:25:22,890
And then we lost the British
475
00:25:23,235 --> 00:25:24,411
and, uh.
476
00:25:24,411 --> 00:25:27,593
And then,
uh, you're not supposed to say stuff,
477
00:25:29,357 --> 00:25:30,498
and we like money.
478
00:25:30,498 --> 00:25:32,366
We're really good at making money.
479
00:25:32,366 --> 00:25:34,856
Actually, everything's about money,
480
00:25:35,721 --> 00:25:37,415
as is lagging.
481
00:25:38,315 --> 00:25:40,286
Yeah, everything's about money. It's like.
482
00:25:40,286 --> 00:25:40,632
Like.
483
00:25:40,632 --> 00:25:44,782
Oh, hey, I woke up today of my $250 bed,
484
00:25:44,955 --> 00:25:48,863
and I just had such a good night's sleep.
485
00:25:49,209 --> 00:25:54,016
And then I went to the bathroom
and brush my teeth with my $2 toothbrush.
486
00:25:54,604 --> 00:25:54,950
Oh, yeah.
487
00:25:54,950 --> 00:25:58,754
It was on sale on the last week at CVS,
so they don't have CVS.
488
00:25:58,754 --> 00:26:00,345
And I'm like, You know what I mean?
489
00:26:00,345 --> 00:26:01,383
I didn't grow up in Hong Kong.
490
00:26:01,383 --> 00:26:03,977
I left when I was seven
and then I grew up in Vancouver.
491
00:26:03,977 --> 00:26:09,407
I lived in different cities
like Vancouver, Boston and New York, L.A.
492
00:26:09,407 --> 00:26:15,563
and now I'm in the Silicon Valley!
in San Jose, California, 95126
493
00:26:16,946 --> 00:26:20,751
I grew up playing the piano.
494
00:26:21,581 --> 00:26:24,382
I'm pretty good.
495
00:26:24,382 --> 00:26:28,636
In fact, I'm really good.
496
00:26:28,636 --> 00:26:30,884
But I yeah, I don't know.
497
00:26:30,884 --> 00:26:33,962
At some point
I fell out of love with it.
498
00:26:34,758 --> 00:26:35,761
I uh
499
00:26:35,761 --> 00:26:39,496
I think it was just a means for me to be
500
00:26:39,807 --> 00:26:42,159
the best in the world at something,
you know?
501
00:26:42,712 --> 00:26:45,825
And that was what I sought - through music.
502
00:26:48,799 --> 00:26:51,947
And it didn’t really,
it hit a wall at some point.
503
00:26:52,189 --> 00:26:52,915
Yeah.
504
00:26:53,192 --> 00:26:55,889
And I
505
00:26:55,889 --> 00:26:56,892
just. Yeah.
506
00:26:56,892 --> 00:26:59,002
Didn't find any meaning anymore.
507
00:26:59,486 --> 00:27:00,420
Yeah. In music.
508
00:27:00,420 --> 00:27:02,772
And so I
509
00:27:02,772 --> 00:27:05,123
became an artist of course :)
510
00:27:05,123 --> 00:27:08,167
And that kind of hit a wall as well.
511
00:27:08,305 --> 00:27:12,352
But, you know, as I was doing art
I kind of like, thought about my
512
00:27:12,352 --> 00:27:15,153
motivation in being an artist,
513
00:27:15,707 --> 00:27:19,407
and it was more about
514
00:27:19,649 --> 00:27:23,834
finding and making friends,
you know, that's what really drove me.
515
00:27:23,834 --> 00:27:24,733
That motivated that.
516
00:27:24,733 --> 00:27:28,365
That's that's what got me out of bed,
you know, in the morning,
517
00:27:29,368 --> 00:27:30,267
you know,
518
00:27:30,544 --> 00:27:31,235
be, you know,
519
00:27:31,235 --> 00:27:36,285
making art and stuff, being an artist,
going to art school and all that, um,
520
00:27:36,285 --> 00:27:39,363
it wasn't about, you know, being the best
anymore. With music,
521
00:27:39,363 --> 00:27:42,060
it was about being the best,
you know, and whatever.
522
00:27:42,268 --> 00:27:45,069
Just being, like,
ridiculously good at something. And
523
00:27:46,142 --> 00:27:48,735
what can I do that
nobody else can do, you know?
524
00:27:49,635 --> 00:27:52,886
But, you know, you know..........
525
00:27:52,886 --> 00:27:53,543
I'm Chinese
526
00:27:53,543 --> 00:27:54,788
You know what can I say?
527
00:27:54,788 --> 00:27:58,246
Um, so with, with like,
528
00:27:58,454 --> 00:28:01,463
the art thing, I mean, I felt like
529
00:28:01,463 --> 00:28:04,921
it was very much
530
00:28:04,921 --> 00:28:05,233
yeah.
531
00:28:05,233 --> 00:28:09,106
About making friends and, and so,
but like, you know, so I, you know,
532
00:28:09,106 --> 00:28:12,945
I spent a couple of years, you know,
making art projects and doing art works
533
00:28:12,945 --> 00:28:17,026
and presenting them
and where I would just, you know, hang out
534
00:28:17,026 --> 00:28:21,073
with people and just chat with them
and talk to them for like 8 hours.
535
00:28:21,073 --> 00:28:22,871
And, you know, that would be my art.
536
00:28:22,871 --> 00:28:28,785
You know, I recorded s=4s;dk blah blah blah
radical presence, radical immanence. And
537
00:28:29,823 --> 00:28:31,725
but
538
00:28:31,725 --> 00:28:33,765
now that I'm in the Silicon Valley,
people are like,
539
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,475
okay, so uhh...what's your startup?
540
00:28:40,475 --> 00:28:42,308
I'm like, Dude, I work for Art Gallery.
541
00:28:42,308 --> 00:28:45,524
It's not a startup, it's not a company.
542
00:28:45,524 --> 00:28:48,153
They're like,
Oh, good luck with your startup.
543
00:28:48,153 --> 00:28:50,850
Oh, no, no, no.
544
00:28:52,407 --> 00:28:53,929
So I'm like, Okay, fine.
545
00:28:53,929 --> 00:28:55,969
Well, let's cut to the chase.
546
00:28:56,038 --> 00:29:00,015
Maybe ART is just the middleman
and I just want to make friends.
547
00:29:00,431 --> 00:29:01,779
I want to be loved.
548
00:29:01,779 --> 00:29:02,748
I want to show love.
549
00:29:02,748 --> 00:29:07,590
I want to practice love in this world
in a genuine way.
550
00:29:07,590 --> 00:29:11,187
I want to exist and live my life in a
551
00:29:13,504 --> 00:29:14,887
in a real way,
552
00:29:14,887 --> 00:29:17,031
you know, not a fake one, a real one.
553
00:29:17,896 --> 00:29:20,974
And but nobody takes me seriously.
554
00:29:21,009 --> 00:29:23,464
You know, they're like, ever like,
oh, yeah, I just do it for free.
555
00:29:23,464 --> 00:29:24,675
I don't charge anybody.
556
00:29:24,675 --> 00:29:29,275
You know, I'll, I'll spend 12 hours
with somebody and just hang out,
557
00:29:29,793 --> 00:29:32,802
you know, and hear them out.
558
00:29:32,802 --> 00:29:35,984
And they're like, Oh, yeah, well,
that's a really good hobby.
559
00:29:36,295 --> 00:29:38,647
It's not a hobby.
It's my way of life, dude.
560
00:29:39,685 --> 00:29:41,587
And so I'm like, Oh, okay.
561
00:29:41,587 --> 00:29:43,835
Oh, that's what happens is
somebody was like, Oh.
562
00:29:44,700 --> 00:29:48,296
And then I try to tell somebody
else, like, what I do, I do performances
563
00:29:49,057 --> 00:29:51,305
and they're like, Oh,
what kind of performances?
564
00:29:51,305 --> 00:29:55,283
I like all of like really extremely
radically weird ones
565
00:29:55,905 --> 00:29:58,361
And he's like, Oh,
how much do you charge per performance?
566
00:29:58,741 --> 00:29:59,744
And I was like,
567
00:29:59,744 --> 00:30:01,473
$2,000
568
00:30:01,473 --> 00:30:02,718
And then he was like,
569
00:30:02,718 --> 00:30:05,174
Wow, you must be really good
570
00:30:05,589 --> 00:30:09,220
And I was like, Yeah, I'm
the best in the world, baby
571
00:30:09,220 --> 00:30:12,299
I'm Chinese
572
00:30:12,299 --> 00:30:13,578
So that's when it hit me
573
00:30:13,578 --> 00:30:16,725
I was like, Oh, well, maybe
I should start a startup after all, since
574
00:30:16,725 --> 00:30:19,043
everybody thinks they have a startup
575
00:30:19,804 --> 00:30:23,193
and so instead of doing “art”, you know,
576
00:30:24,196 --> 00:30:28,865
why don't I start a company
that makes friends...real ones?
577
00:30:29,557 --> 00:30:34,053
So that hence the title

I'm at 32 minutes.
596
00:31:37,586 --> 00:31:38,831
I want to make this.
597
00:31:38,831 --> 00:31:41,148
This must be a 40 minute piece
598
00:31:41,805 --> 00:31:46,682
supposed to be aired on TV and stuff.
599
00:31:46,682 --> 00:31:50,417
Let's change the view that
600
00:31:50,763 --> 00:32:00,689
this is.
601
00:32:00,689 --> 00:32:04,804
Yeah,
602
00:32:04,804 --> 00:32:15,284
Yeah,
603
00:32:15,284 --> 00:32:18,292
Real Friends LLC is a social platform.
604
00:32:18,292 --> 00:32:21,440
No, it's not a social platform
that connects people.
605
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:25,452
Yes we connect people - with others
who share similar interests
606
00:32:25,452 --> 00:32:26,247
No, no, no.
607
00:32:26,247 --> 00:32:30,294
Friendships is not about connecting people
with similar interests
608
00:32:30,294 --> 00:32:32,611
Friendships is commitment
609
00:32:33,614 --> 00:32:35,516
It's about what you put in
610
00:32:35,516 --> 00:32:38,732
You know, it's about
611
00:32:38,732 --> 00:32:41,050
Yeah, it's putting in the work,
612
00:32:41,050 --> 00:32:43,955
you know, being there in the hard times
613
00:32:45,096 --> 00:32:47,137
Someone's going through a rough patch,
614
00:32:47,967 --> 00:32:51,494
going through a rough time, times,
seasons, life.
615
00:32:52,981 --> 00:32:55,610
You stick
616
00:32:55,610 --> 00:32:57,339
You stay there. Yeah, you're there.
617
00:32:57,339 --> 00:33:00,521
You show up, you be there
and you go through it with them.
618
00:33:02,112 --> 00:33:04,395
That's real friendship. Yep.
619
00:33:05,709 --> 00:33:06,643
And that's costly
620
00:33:06,643 --> 00:33:08,510
You know, nobody has time to do that
621
00:33:08,510 --> 00:33:13,283
So what I'm saying is, like, you know,
I wanted to make it my business, literally
622
00:33:13,905 --> 00:33:18,609
make it my day job, you know,
to be there for you to, you know,
623
00:33:19,370 --> 00:33:24,904
and just the money or the time thing
is just a way of scheduling, you know,
624
00:33:24,904 --> 00:33:29,918
and putting in the work, making sure
that there is space for that to happen
625
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:33,965
we’re...at least in America, I don't know
626
00:33:33,965 --> 00:33:37,389
about other parts of the world,
the like, you know, we don't like friends.
627
00:33:37,389 --> 00:33:38,703
We we're scared of them.
628
00:33:38,703 --> 00:33:39,326
They're weird.
629
00:33:39,326 --> 00:33:42,438
You know,
We can't really we need these, like,
630
00:33:42,438 --> 00:33:46,104
kind of,
like, common activities or whatever.
631
00:33:46,104 --> 00:33:47,557
It's a Oh, yeah, yeah.
632
00:33:47,557 --> 00:33:51,638
I love I love golf, I love knitting.
633
00:33:53,056 --> 00:33:56,791
It's yeah, sure
634
00:33:56,791 --> 00:34:00,180
But like,
I just want to cut the middle person
635
00:34:00,215 --> 00:34:03,224
and just be like,
Hey, tell me about your life
636
00:34:03,224 --> 00:34:05,334
Let me tell you about my life. Actually.
637
00:34:05,334 --> 00:34:06,267
I mean, I just did that
638
00:34:06,267 --> 00:34:10,729
I am more than happy to share anything
and everything that I have
639
00:34:11,766 --> 00:34:13,600
I believe in
640
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,505
This is not a job for me. It's
a mission. It's a it's.
641
00:34:16,505 --> 00:34:18,753
It's a belief. It's a faith.
642
00:34:18,926 --> 00:34:21,035
It's it's not a religion. It's.
643
00:34:21,139 --> 00:34:23,041
It's something that I
644
00:34:24,771 --> 00:34:27,434
am very serious about
645
00:34:27,434 --> 00:34:29,543
Yeah, Yeah
646
00:34:29,682 --> 00:34:30,996
Avatar thing is just an
647
00:34:30,996 --> 00:34:31,445
Avatar
648
00:34:31,445 --> 00:34:33,555
Avatar is the thing that holds space
649
00:34:34,212 --> 00:34:39,850
You know, our human connections
can be awkward, especially with strangers
650
00:34:40,299 --> 00:34:44,865
And so we offer, like, a free
consultation, you know, where you kind of
651
00:34:44,899 --> 00:34:48,669
get to know me and get to know you
a little bit to whatever extent. And
652
00:34:49,672 --> 00:34:53,615
and we kind of go from there
and we develop, you know, like,
653
00:34:54,479 --> 00:34:57,592
you know, do you want to
654
00:34:57,661 --> 00:35:01,569
There are a couple of streams,
I guess you can say.
655
00:35:02,226 --> 00:35:06,377
1) I could come to you in person
B) I could hang out with you
656
00:35:06,377 --> 00:35:09,247
in a virtual digital space,
you know, and not
657
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:12,325
everybody hates ;o23w;4rup9q8a23w7r ZOOM
658
00:35:12,325 --> 00:35:14,850
You know, we all zoom anymore
659
00:35:14,850 --> 00:35:17,409
But I'm building a 3D environment where,
660
00:35:18,862 --> 00:35:19,726
yeah, I could kind
661
00:35:19,726 --> 00:35:23,220
of meet you virtually there...buncha clouds
662
00:35:23,496 --> 00:35:27,473
I'm actually I'm making an ocean
either that or a pool of money I’m not sure lol
663
00:35:28,373 --> 00:35:30,759
but uh, yeah.
664
00:35:31,382 --> 00:35:33,249
And then the third one would be like,
665
00:35:33,249 --> 00:35:36,396
there's a texting option
where I love texting. So.
666
00:35:36,396 --> 00:35:39,509
And then text, you know,
we can get to know each other that way
667
00:35:39,509 --> 00:35:42,898
or kind of,
you know, talk about life and stuff.
668
00:35:44,282 --> 00:35:47,222
Yeah. So
669
00:35:47,671 --> 00:35:50,369
I'm Chinese, so
670
00:35:50,369 --> 00:35:54,208
and I want to be
your real friend for real.
671
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:58,704
And no one will take me seriously
if I'm not an LLC
672
00:35:58,704 --> 00:36:01,021
So I'm an LLC
673
00:36:01,021 --> 00:36:04,238
I'm an LLC. I'm an LLC.
674
00:36:18,348 --> 00:36:20,078
I can’t remember what I said
675
00:36:20,078 --> 00:36:22,118
I mean, this is the third time
676
00:36:22,118 --> 00:36:24,850
I was trying to record this earlier and,
677
00:36:25,231 --> 00:36:28,689
you know, duh, As China
record this earlier
678
00:36:28,689 --> 00:36:32,701
and it basically just recorded my audio,
not the video.
679
00:36:32,701 --> 00:36:38,857
And so you couldn't see anything.
680
00:36:38,857 --> 00:36:42,316
I think the face reading thing
is getting a little glitchy.
681
00:36:43,492 --> 00:36:48,299
Yeah, it needs a like a
682
00:36:49,129 --> 00:37:23,507
better view of the mouth. Hmm.
683
00:37:23,507 --> 00:37:27,968
Eric, I should have been talking like this
the whole time.
684
00:37:27,968 --> 00:37:29,317
This looks good.
685
00:37:29,559 --> 00:37:31,600
Yeah. So, like,
686
00:37:32,257 --> 00:37:33,329

Hello, my name is Chinese Room
696
00:38:06,323 --> 00:38:07,741
I am an avatar
697
00:38:07,741 --> 00:38:10,646
Not just any avatar but
698
00:38:10,646 --> 00:38:15,523
human-driven avatar that's,
you know, driven by a human being,
699
00:38:15,523 --> 00:38:19,362
not AI driven, you know, a
got like ChatGPT or Replika or whatever
700
00:38:19,846 --> 00:38:23,166
I I'm driven by a real human being
701
00:38:23,166 --> 00:38:25,311
And I think it does make a difference
702
00:38:25,622 --> 00:38:30,913
An avatar is something
that holds space, uh, you know, um, and
703
00:38:32,193 --> 00:38:34,234
just not unlike a room,
704
00:38:34,545 --> 00:38:38,799
you know, I kind of see those two things
sort of like in parallel or in tandem
705
00:38:38,799 --> 00:38:43,917
or whatever, you know, a room or something
that houses something, you know, that
706
00:38:43,917 --> 00:38:47,168
encapsulates or encases or, you know,
707
00:38:47,929 --> 00:38:51,111
people things or objects or experiences.
708
00:38:51,111 --> 00:38:55,331
And I see the avatar as a placeholder
709
00:38:56,091 --> 00:38:58,409
in another metaverse as, you know,
710
00:38:58,443 --> 00:38:59,688
like uh
711
00:38:59,930 --> 00:39:01,729
a human connection
712
00:39:02,351 --> 00:39:06,225
post-2023 in the future,
713
00:39:06,225 --> 00:39:10,237
I think in 20 years, yeah, human.
714
00:39:11,724 --> 00:39:15,667
It wouldn't be uncommon to kind of uh develop
715
00:39:15,667 --> 00:39:18,088
more of like a aa more more
716
00:39:19,091 --> 00:39:22,653
intimate kind of relations with with
717
00:39:22,860 --> 00:39:24,244
AI
718
00:39:24,417 --> 00:39:26,665
I’m not talking about sex
and the sex bots or something like that
719
00:39:27,045 --> 00:39:30,919
But I'm talking about like, uh yeah,
just like the way
720
00:39:30,919 --> 00:39:35,415
we interact with technology,
you know, we'll need to depend on them
721
00:39:35,415 --> 00:39:39,288
for friendships even, or for companionship
722
00:39:39,634 --> 00:39:41,018
And uh
723
00:39:41,329 --> 00:39:44,165
I might be kind of 20 years
early, but like, I think
724
00:39:46,275 --> 00:39:48,592
I kind of feel like
725
00:39:50,148 --> 00:39:52,915
humans connecting with humans
is still important
726
00:39:53,537 --> 00:39:56,304
You know, as I see in friendships,
I don't want to lose that
727
00:39:56,304 --> 00:40:00,178
I guess. Um, so
728
00:40:01,285 --> 00:40:02,115
that's
729
00:40:02,979 --> 00:40:07,475
one of the reasons yeah
why I'm starting real friends LLC.
730
00:40:07,475 --> 00:40:13,666
My name is Tim Tsang
I am the driver of Chinese Room
731
00:40:13,666 --> 00:40:16,571
Yeah, sounded weird but I don't care
732
00:40:18,300 --> 00:40:20,272
I think it's important
733
00:40:20,272 --> 00:40:24,526
I think it's kind of hitting a need
in our society, in our day to day where,
734
00:40:25,805 --> 00:40:30,440
yeah, we, we lack genuine friendships,
you know, not just
735
00:40:30,474 --> 00:40:33,898
people are being fake or whatever,
but people don't have time to be real
736
00:40:34,590 --> 00:40:38,256
You know, it's always about
what can I get, you know, when's
737
00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:41,058
what can I get out of this person?
We're going to get out of that person
738
00:40:41,058 --> 00:40:42,233
What will they give me?
739
00:40:42,233 --> 00:40:44,170
What will they provide for me?
740
00:40:44,170 --> 00:40:48,666
What will this do for my social status,
my career and my family's standing,
741
00:40:48,666 --> 00:40:50,119
you know, or whatever. And
742
00:40:51,917 --> 00:40:53,370
that's important.
743
00:40:53,370 --> 00:40:55,237
These things are important.
They're not bad.
744
00:40:55,237 --> 00:40:57,900
I'm just saying that
745
00:40:57,900 --> 00:40:59,146
I think
746
00:41:00,564 --> 00:41:02,258
getting to know a human being
747
00:41:02,258 --> 00:41:05,025
just for the sake of getting to know them
748
00:41:06,339 --> 00:41:09,106
because it's a as a human need,
749
00:41:09,659 --> 00:41:12,668
you know I think I think that's worth
something
750
00:41:13,429 --> 00:41:16,680
I don't mean money, although I'm
charging you money to be your friend
751
00:41:17,130 --> 00:41:19,447
But it's it's
752
00:41:22,733 --> 00:41:23,874
there's something there
753
00:41:23,874 --> 00:41:25,638
Yeah, I don't know exactly what, but.
754
00:41:25,638 --> 00:41:30,376
But the more I live, I mean,
755
00:41:30,999 --> 00:41:33,869
every day
I feel like living in Silicon Valley,
756
00:41:33,869 --> 00:41:38,400
but just in general,
I think in life, you know, like, as things
757
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:42,896
become more kind of tech oriented
or cloud based or,
758
00:41:43,657 --> 00:41:46,631
you know, whatever,
759
00:41:46,631 --> 00:41:50,678
I think like kind of
I don't just want to preserve,
760
00:41:51,784 --> 00:41:55,381
know, human relationships,
but I hope that they can thrive.
761
00:41:55,416 --> 00:41:58,494
I hope that they could become
something more
762
00:41:58,805 --> 00:42:03,128
than a product,
you know, more than a serve--
763
00:42:03,543 --> 00:42:06,068
serve..well I’m providing a service
but more than a service
764
00:42:06,068 --> 00:42:11,152
Yeah, I think I hope
that people would learn to be kind
765
00:42:11,844 --> 00:42:15,752
You know, you see somebody
without somewhere to live
766
00:42:15,752 --> 00:42:19,729
You see somebody that’s hungry,
you give ‘em what you have,
767
00:42:20,075 --> 00:42:22,358
you know,
if it's safe, you know, whatever,
768
00:42:23,361 --> 00:42:23,914
maybe not idk
769
00:42:25,194 --> 00:42:26,369
but like
770
00:42:26,369 --> 00:42:28,756
it's not just politics
or a better political system
771
00:42:28,756 --> 00:42:29,413
not going to do it.
772
00:42:29,413 --> 00:42:33,252
You know, I think we live in it's
not even capitalism anymore.
773
00:42:33,425 --> 00:42:36,088
Right, there's a Greek guy talks about..Yanis
774
00:42:37,056 --> 00:42:41,172
What’s his last name,
the previous Greek finance minister
775
00:42:42,002 --> 00:42:44,319
He's saying we basically live in a
776
00:42:44,769 --> 00:42:46,878
a condition of
777
00:42:46,878 --> 00:42:48,227
techno feudalism
778
00:42:48,539 --> 00:42:51,790
You know, we it's we have the techno lords
779
00:42:52,378 --> 00:42:56,389
like Zuckerberg and Elon
Musk and Jeff Bezos and all those people
780
00:42:56,389 --> 00:42:56,770
Right
781
00:42:56,770 --> 00:42:59,848
And and then we pay them all taxes
basically
782
00:42:59,848 --> 00:43:00,159
Right
783
00:43:00,159 --> 00:43:01,716
With their private information
784
00:43:01,716 --> 00:43:04,794
We, we, they know where we live,
they know our shopping habits,
785
00:43:04,794 --> 00:43:06,246
they know what we like to eat
786
00:43:06,246 --> 00:43:10,777
They know, you know, where we shop,
You know who we talk to
787
00:43:10,777 --> 00:43:13,613
They know our social circles,
They know our habits
788
00:43:13,647 --> 00:43:15,550
And and everything else
789
00:43:15,550 --> 00:43:16,691
And, you know, that's a
790
00:43:17,798 --> 00:43:18,870
that's kind of a big deal
791
00:43:18,870 --> 00:43:21,602
And then also, like for me,
I mean, I'm a Uber driver and so on
792
00:43:21,775 --> 00:43:26,479
My life is tied to the rental car
that I rent for $2,000 every month
793
00:43:26,479 --> 00:43:28,623
And I try to make six grand
794
00:43:28,623 --> 00:43:31,874
But it's not even that, you know,
you can't even get that sometimes
795
00:43:31,874 --> 00:43:34,537
And it's
so it's like that's like what, 40%,
796
00:43:35,332 --> 00:43:38,998
35, 30% of my income goes to
797
00:43:39,967 --> 00:43:43,702
I don't know who Hertz is
but it goes to somebody
798
00:43:43,702 --> 00:43:46,434
I don't know some of those
like techno lords or whatever
799
00:43:46,849 --> 00:43:52,002
And so it's like kind of like the Sir, I'm
basically a serf in feudal times
800
00:43:52,002 --> 00:43:54,458
It's like a farmer
tied to their land, right?
801
00:43:54,493 --> 00:44:00,026
Part of 10%, 20, 30% of your crops, you
know, belongs to the king, you know, and,
802
00:44:01,479 --> 00:44:03,727
but friendships don't belong to the king
803
00:44:03,727 --> 00:44:05,110
That's my point
804
00:44:05,491 --> 00:44:07,635
And they can't touch that
805
00:44:07,635 --> 00:44:09,226
Yeah, you can't touch that
806
00:44:09,226 --> 00:44:12,788
I mean, you can you know,
I want to be there for you, but they
807
00:44:13,341 --> 00:44:14,967
they can't touch that
808
00:44:15,071 --> 00:44:16,281
Yeah
809
00:44:16,281 --> 00:44:18,149
And
810
00:44:18,356 --> 00:44:20,328
I don't need to tell them
who I'm friends with
811
00:44:20,431 --> 00:44:21,676
Who's that? Yeah
812
00:44:21,676 --> 00:44:27,833
You know what i mean? So, like, I, I feel like, um
813
00:44:27,833 --> 00:44:31,360
uh, hiding in plain
sight is the best way to go,
814
00:44:31,983 --> 00:44:34,888
You know, like uh, why not make a company
815
00:44:35,199 --> 00:44:39,419
that encourages friendships to occur?
816
00:44:40,180 --> 00:44:43,500
You know, there's value attached to it um
817
00:44:44,849 --> 00:44:47,270
monetary, but also, you know,
818
00:44:47,270 --> 00:44:50,106
it's like a good thing
819
00:44:50,417 --> 00:44:55,847
It's a special thing
820
00:44:55,847 --> 00:44:56,677
Yeah, but that.
821
00:44:56,677 --> 00:45:01,864
That I think, that's what I want to offer
the world and I want to invite you to it
822
00:45:02,107 --> 00:45:05,254

Do do do do.
835
00:46:06,331 --> 00:46:10,758
And even those
836
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:14,148
who don't
837
00:46:14,148 --> 00:46:29,123
do the.
838
00:46:29,123 --> 00:46:33,619
Yeah, I mean, that's
kind of this just I'm Chinese.
839
00:46:33,757 --> 00:46:34,414
Got to think
840
00:46:35,660 --> 00:46:37,735
what does it mean to be real?
841
00:46:39,187 --> 00:46:41,470
What does it mean to be real?
842
00:46:41,470 --> 00:46:45,240
Well, a real thing,
something that's real is.
843
00:46:45,413 --> 00:46:50,012
I mean, it used to be, I guess, like what
you could see and touch and taste or,
844
00:46:50,047 --> 00:46:53,436
you know, the sensory stuff and whatever.
845
00:46:54,474 --> 00:47:00,353
But I guess,
yeah, reality real ness is felt
846
00:47:02,636 --> 00:47:04,746
as a consistent
847
00:47:06,198 --> 00:47:08,550
you can count on it
848
00:47:08,827 --> 00:47:14,153
real, you can count on it existing,
849
00:47:15,190 --> 00:47:18,338
not ghosting.
850
00:47:18,338 --> 00:47:21,520
I'm trying to be the opposite of ghosting,
I guess
851
00:47:22,523 --> 00:47:25,116
I'm an avatar driven by real human
852
00:47:25,116 --> 00:47:29,440
being that wants to not ghost people,
but take your money
853
00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,930
and offer my sincere friendship in return
854
00:47:33,763 --> 00:47:37,152
or something like that.
855
00:47:37,152 --> 00:47:40,438
Uh, because again, on
856
00:47:40,438 --> 00:47:42,617
what does it mean to be a friend?
857
00:47:42,617 --> 00:47:43,516
Well,
858
00:47:44,450 --> 00:47:46,248
to be a friend
859
00:47:46,248 --> 00:47:50,052
means that it's not a one way.
860
00:47:50,191 --> 00:47:51,401
Friendships are not one way.
861
00:47:51,401 --> 00:47:52,577
You know what I mean?
862
00:47:52,577 --> 00:47:56,900
I'm providing a service of friendship,
sure, but it's.
863
00:47:56,900 --> 00:48:01,396
It has the potential
to kind of grow into something two way
864
00:48:02,019 --> 00:48:06,515
where I'm not only and curious about you,
believe me, you're curious about me,
865
00:48:06,515 --> 00:48:11,461
then, you know, and I'm ready
to kind of open up, you know, and my life
866
00:48:12,567 --> 00:48:15,023
to kind of, uh,
867
00:48:15,023 --> 00:48:19,450
yeah, live through this thing,
you know, um.
868
00:48:19,450 --> 00:48:21,525
Yeah. I want to learn about you. Yeah.
869
00:48:21,525 --> 00:48:24,638
If you want to learn about me,
I'm here and
870
00:48:25,848 --> 00:48:28,684
I want to be there for you.
871
00:48:28,684 --> 00:48:32,869
I want to, uh, get to know you.
872
00:48:33,180 --> 00:48:35,117
I want you to get to know yourself.
873
00:48:35,117 --> 00:48:37,884
I want to get to know myself.
874
00:48:37,987 --> 00:48:39,682
I think self-knowledge, common
875
00:48:39,682 --> 00:48:43,936
knowledge, communal knowledge idk the term
876
00:48:44,178 --> 00:48:47,775
But, like, you know, I think that's
877
00:48:47,775 --> 00:48:49,262
becoming more and more rare.
878
00:48:49,262 --> 00:48:51,683
Yeah, like, genuine human
879
00:48:53,412 --> 00:48:55,038
relations. Yeah.
880
00:48:55,038 --> 00:48:57,251
That isn't about sex.
881
00:48:57,251 --> 00:48:59,499
The sex component is about exchange,
882
00:48:59,499 --> 00:49:02,820
You know, Not that sex is bad, but, like,
just it's like, Oh,
883
00:49:03,269 --> 00:49:05,828
I like what this person can give me
884
00:49:05,828 --> 00:49:09,598
or how they can make me feel.
885
00:49:09,598 --> 00:49:15,270
But like, being genuinely,
like, interested in somebody, you know,
886
00:49:15,339 --> 00:49:21,150
that isn't just a one person kinda deal,
like just romantic or whatever.
887
00:49:21,150 --> 00:49:26,753
And the traditional notion of it but like,
just like chilling with your neighbor,
888
00:49:27,064 --> 00:49:30,315
you know, like, Hey,
what's your dog's name?
889
00:49:30,903 --> 00:49:33,877
Oh, yeah, my mom's in the hospital.
890
00:49:34,327 --> 00:49:34,915
La la la.
891
00:49:35,987 --> 00:49:37,301
Oh, really?
892
00:49:37,509 --> 00:49:39,618
Yeah Sucks.
893
00:49:40,898 --> 00:49:41,244
My mom.
894
00:49:41,244 --> 00:49:44,702
Then I'm losing that, you know,
and then the like.
895
00:49:45,982 --> 00:49:48,852
That's what techno lords can't touch
896
00:49:48,852 --> 00:49:50,858
That's what I'm talking about
897
00:49:51,758 --> 00:49:54,248
And that's what I'm talking about
898
00:49:54,248 --> 00:49:56,150
Cause I'm Chinese
899
00:50:00,681 --> 00:50:01,476
not blocking them.
900
00:50:01,476 --> 00:50:05,799
Like, okay, where I'm LLC.
901
00:50:06,007 --> 00:50:08,013
Well, this is an LLC because,
902
00:50:08,912 --> 00:50:12,889
you know, I'm the same as Google
Me and Google, we are both LLC’s
903
00:50:12,889 --> 00:50:17,697
so we have to pay $800 a month...or a year,
a year in taxes.
904
00:50:18,146 --> 00:50:19,737
It doesn’t matter how big you are or how small you are
905
00:50:19,737 --> 00:50:26,204
Your, um,
if you're getting an LLC at work,
906
00:50:26,204 --> 00:50:27,657
I want people to take me seriously.
907
00:50:27,657 --> 00:50:29,801
I don't want this to be a hobby.
908
00:50:29,801 --> 00:50:32,707
You know, I think this is
909
00:50:32,707 --> 00:50:34,643
elected to be a little bit more than that.
910
00:50:34,643 --> 00:50:37,479
I want people to take me seriously. And
911
00:50:38,586 --> 00:50:39,209
so in our
912
00:50:39,209 --> 00:50:42,702
world, the way we exist is through
corporate entities.
913
00:50:43,186 --> 00:50:48,304
My phone is about to die because
the temperature is going really high.
914
00:50:48,304 --> 00:50:52,109
So I think up here,
thank you for watching.
915
00:50:52,109 --> 00:50:54,219
Thank you for watching. I love you.
916
00:50:55,394 --> 00:50:56,882
Thank you for watching.
917
00:50:56,882 --> 00:50:58,057
Thank you for watching.
918
00:50:58,057 --> 00:51:00,029
Thank you for watching.
919
00:51:00,029 --> 00:51:08,883
Okay. Bye.
