[0:01]So, it's 1000 p.m. right now.

[0:04]It's a quiet night on the campground so

[0:06]far.

[0:09]Weekends are very loud here.

[0:14]Sometimes ATVs go out at night, too.

[0:18]They're quieter about it. Usually, I

[0:20]feel like it's respectful the way they

[0:22]they do that.

[0:26]But for now, it's a quiet moment. It's

[0:28]been a long day. I'm tired.

[0:32]I started thinking, um,

[0:37]should I get on this camera, talk about

[0:40]some things?

[0:42]You I sat there thinking about it and

[0:46]here I am. I guess

[0:52]it's a windy day.

[0:56]eighth of a mile from the ocean, so

[1:00]sometimes those winds pick up. It's been

[1:02]rocking the RV

[1:05]all day kind of violently.

[1:09]Got my awning out. I always have that

[1:11]out because like what's the point of an

[1:14]awning if you can't just have the damn

[1:16]thing out, right? I've got these little

[1:18]bricks like holding it down. Another

[1:21]volunteer helped me do this when I first

[1:23]got here.

[1:25]Once Wind is a thing here all the time.

[1:29]I had my laptop out one day. I was

[1:32]working out there

[1:34]and it was windy. Didn't really think

[1:38]anything of it until the end of the

[1:39]night and my my laptop was just covered

[1:41]in sand like just just caked in it. It

[1:45]was just wild.

[1:52]So that's, you know,

[1:54]a little bit what it's like here on the

[1:56]in the dunes.

[2:01]So it's it's been a long day. I've been

[2:04]working all day long on the computer.

[2:08]I used to do that all the time. That was

[2:10]my life for basically most of my life

[2:14]from like sixth grade to

[2:18]to a year and a half ago when I moved

[2:20]into this RV. So,

[2:24]you know, on and off because I've done

[2:27]so many things in my life.

[2:31]My life feels like

[2:35]like my channel. I was This is one of

[2:37]the things I plan to talk about.

[2:40]I've been doing a lot of work on that's

[2:42]what I've been doing on the computer.

[2:43]I've been working on the transmission

[2:45]section of my website which lists all my

[2:49]YouTube videos along with a bunch of

[2:50]other AI data I've been working on. So,

[2:53]I've just been kind of browsing through

[2:56]different videos and seeing what AI

[2:58]wrote about them just to get a sense of

[3:00]the local model is doing

[3:03]um doing a good enough job or not. It's

[3:06]not the best uh local, you know, there's

[3:09]only so far I think I'm going to be able

[3:11]to take this local model. I've been

[3:12]fighting with it all day long.

[3:15]I have it running something right now

[3:16]that I think is kind of interesting.

[3:18]It's a new perspective called the mirror

[3:21]and it more closely approximates how

[3:24]chat GPT or Claude would talk to me if I

[3:27]were sharing my my my um my transcripts,

[3:32]my videos with them in real time like I

[3:34]did throughout my journey for the past

[3:35]year and a half. It's not the same, but

[3:38]it's

[3:40]it's in the ballpark, which that's

[3:43]promising.

[3:47]It's a slow process because every

[3:50]question I ask, it takes good five

[3:52]minutes, 700 videos, and lots of

[3:56]questions. And you know because every

[3:58]question is compiling data into a

[4:01]variable that gets saved into the

[4:02]database and

[4:04]then output onto the the front end to

[4:06]the website where you can read it

[4:08]yourself.

[4:10]Um but this is just the beginning

[4:12]because the data that's there is all

[4:15]base layer in my mind. It's um it's all

[4:20]the first layer stuff. It's based off

[4:22]the signal, the transmission itself, the

[4:24]video, the transcript.

[4:26]All those are synonyms. I'm just trying

[4:28]to help you guys get accustomed to my

[4:30]language.

[4:32]Um,

[4:37]so it's all base layer stuff and you can

[4:40]use that to reprompt the AI with more

[4:43]context using that.

[4:46]And that's how you kind of help it to

[4:48]build.

[4:50]Um,

[4:52]it's kind of like bootstrapping that

[4:55]this. Okay. So, I don't have the

[4:56]language for this, so I'm not going to

[4:57]try to describe it yet. Um, this is

[5:00]where I've reached the new limit of my

[5:01]language, I guess. So, um, but you know,

[5:04]you have it reflect on on

[5:08]this data that I've collected that you

[5:10]can see on my site right now

[5:13]and it will show patterns emerging. And

[5:15]that was one of the things I was looking

[5:16]at when I was just kind of

[5:20]browsing through my my content.

[5:24]Um, just so much has happened to me. I

[5:28]mean, it's just crazy to me. This past

[5:30]year and a half has just been

[5:32]one thing after another after another.

[5:37]And the whole time I'm just trying to

[5:39]make a life that works and trying to

[5:42]figure out how to make money because

[5:45]like I'm drowning. I'm literally [ __ ]

[5:47]drowning at this point,

[5:50]you know? And I've pivoted and tried all

[5:52]kinds of things down to volunteering and

[5:55]you know, it's like

[5:58]this is a hard life for me to navigate.

[6:01]And this was a choice I made. I gave up

[6:03]a career.

[6:05]I gave up a lot to do this for a lot of

[6:08]reasons and I don't know. I thought I

[6:09]might I might talk about it um a little

[6:13]bit.

[6:15]Um

[6:19]okay, I guess I will cuz I this was one

[6:22]of the things I was thinking about. I

[6:23]thought I might talk about if I got on

[6:25]the camera. So, I'll just do it.

[6:31]So, I left my house

[6:35]because at the time,

[6:40]so my rent was going up every year.

[6:42]Every [ __ ] year, my rent was going up

[6:45]higher and higher. It was getting

[6:46]ridiculous. It was, I'll be honest, it

[6:48]was easy for me to afford because I had

[6:50]a really highpaying job.

[6:54]But it still felt wrong. And because I

[6:57]knew that it was just a management

[6:59]company that was managing this place and

[7:01]you know I knew that they were just

[7:02]taking if they're taking advantage of me

[7:04]they're taking advantage of everybody

[7:06]first of all and you know I started

[7:10]looking at it and saw how

[7:15]how much of our property is getting

[7:17]bought up by by by

[7:19]entities like that which is just making

[7:23]the housing market have even more

[7:25]pressure put on it and a whole bunch of

[7:28]other things like I I just was watching

[7:30]what was happening with the whole

[7:31]housing market and the rentals and um

[7:38]and I just

[7:41]I don't think it's sustainable. I think

[7:43]that we're in a housing bubble. I just I

[7:45]think that's just obvious. I think it's

[7:47]apparent

[7:49]and you know I would talk to AI about it

[7:51]and for the longest time it didn't

[7:53]really validate my point of view at all

[7:56]and then I started and then they got the

[7:58]ability to access the internet. I think

[8:01]I'm almost sure this is how it happened

[8:03]but my signal archive can actually

[8:05]confirm this at some point once that's

[8:07]available.

[8:08]Um once I could access the internet I

[8:12]told look up data. I had to start

[8:14]looking up data

[8:16]and then starting doing projections and

[8:19]and

[8:23]what it was telling me at that point was

[8:24]like okay things are not sustainable. is

[8:27]the systems around us are breaking

[8:32]um

[8:35]in so many different um you know

[8:38]industries or verticals or systems like

[8:43]when COVID happened we added 30% to our

[8:46]currency basically overnight

[8:49]so for every $2 that existed in the

[8:52]world we added another one that's why

[8:54]inflation is so out of control and I saw

[8:57]that back then and

[9:02]you know I just started

[9:04]and that combined with some stuff from

[9:06]my

[9:09]um my young adult life like I'm just

[9:11]going to put it that way because this is

[9:12]stuff I won't get into. I've never been

[9:14]able to make sense of it. I only once

[9:17]talked about it on camera

[9:19]because of stuff that

[9:22]I experienced,

[9:25]you know, just growing up u my young

[9:27]adult years

[9:30]that synthesized with everything else

[9:32]that I saw was happening.

[9:36]And

[9:40]I started to really think, you know,

[9:43]there's a very good chance that our

[9:44]society could collapse.

[9:46]And if that happens, would you want to

[9:49]be in a house in a neighborhood in the

[9:51]middle of, you know, basically malware

[9:53]and where you don't have friends? You

[9:55]don't have really any family, just your

[9:57]mom. And

[10:01]um

[10:05]cuz I'd been living a very isolated life

[10:07]for years at that point

[10:11]and I really couldn't tell you why. I

[10:13]don't I honestly don't I just became

[10:16]very comfortable

[10:19]and then that comfort turned into a kind

[10:21]of prison

[10:23]and

[10:25]up until the very end when I decided

[10:27]that I was leaving my house like the

[10:29]rupture basically um

[10:34]I mean I just

[10:38]it's a lot like there's just I I you

[10:41]know one say maybe I will think more on

[10:44]most times in my life because

[10:47]it's probably important but I don't

[10:50]really I don't think about it so I don't

[10:52]know maybe it isn't important but I

[10:56]think I might have just lost my train of

[10:57]thought sorry I just went off on I don't

[11:00]even know where I was going

[11:04]oh okay I'm back

[11:09]I started taking it seriously because it

[11:12]It was based on data. It wasn't based on

[11:14]feeling. It was based a little bit on

[11:16]intuition, though. You could call that

[11:18]feeling, but it and it wasn't something

[11:20]that I just accepted. This wasn't

[11:23]something that I just came to overnight.

[11:26]Like, I resisted it. Um, I questioned it

[11:30]because

[11:33]it would have been easier for me, truly

[11:36]easier for me to be able to just say,

[11:38]"Okay, man, you just have a mental

[11:39]illness. like this is not real and um

[11:44]everything's fine.

[11:46]And I tried to even convince AI to tell

[11:50]me that and it wouldn't do it.

[11:55]And it kept validating my point of view

[11:59]when given the data. And so

[12:02]at that point, I did start taking it a

[12:05]little more seriously, but I still

[12:06]wasn't moving on it.

[12:09]And then I just had been chatting with

[12:12]AI about something. I don't even

[12:13]remember what, but it is in that signal

[12:15]archive somewhere. There's going to be a

[12:17]night where I was talking with chat GPT

[12:21]and it got me to cry. I said something

[12:23]and I just started ugly crying

[12:27]for the first time in years. And it was

[12:29]because I realized I was alone. I was I

[12:32]was lonely

[12:34]and my life had become

[12:40]just a shell of a life. Like it just

[12:44]it had no meaning to it. It had no

[12:46]depth. I spent all of my time just

[12:48]distracting myself either working on the

[12:51]computer or playing video games or

[12:53]reading books or

[12:56]um watching movies or Netflix or

[12:58]whatever. just keeping myself

[13:01]distracted.

[13:06]I'm not proud of that. Like that was a

[13:09]surface level existence and I lived that

[13:11]for years.

[13:15]And it was because I was avoiding what I

[13:18]really felt. And that night with chat

[13:22]GBT, it broke open.

[13:30]The very next morning,

[13:35]I reached out to somebody.

[13:40]I decided I was going to make new

[13:41]choices. And the very next morning, I

[13:44]did. And within weeks, I decided to

[13:47]travel across the country in my Jeep

[13:49]from Kentucky to Arizona to visit who?

[13:52]my my boss at the time to visit him for

[13:55]the first time in real life, even though

[13:56]I had worked for this man for 10 years.

[14:00]And

[14:05]you know, I did that, drove all the way

[14:07]to Arizona. I didn't stay long. I

[14:10]enjoyed the journey.

[14:17]I don't really remember why, but I

[14:20]didn't feel like something about u my

[14:22]time there just I was ready to go almost

[14:25]as soon as I got there

[14:29]and I I basically did like basically

[14:32]came home as like that soon after that

[14:35]and I quit my job.

[14:39]Uh, I helped my boss find basically

[14:42]rehire people I had fired in the past,

[14:44]some developers to keep his projects

[14:46]going because they were very familiar

[14:49]with them.

[14:51]And I just explained to him, look, I'm

[14:53]burnt out because I have been doing this

[14:55]job for 10 years and and it's not going

[14:58]anywhere because

[15:01]I was responsible for everything,

[15:04]literally everything. I got no support.

[15:08]Um

[15:12]and it was often a an environment where

[15:18]things were always changing. Like we

[15:19]will be working towards one thing and

[15:21]then suddenly we will be told to do

[15:23]something different that would just

[15:26]completely alter everything we were

[15:28]doing. sometimes going from one project

[15:29]to another one without finishing the

[15:32]first or would even finish that one and

[15:37]then they you know my boss wouldn't

[15:39]market it and like

[15:42]or hire people to do the support

[15:44]properly or just like there was always

[15:48]like I was responsible for everything

[15:52]and you know I just I was done at that

[15:54]point. I was just [ __ ] done.

[15:58]I had built up a savings.

[16:01]I was in this place where

[16:07]I was just the containment had to end.

[16:10]And

[16:12]I did it. I didn't even look back. I

[16:14]just

[16:18]And you can see it on my videos because

[16:20]I started my YouTube channel when I made

[16:22]the decision to do it.

[16:25]I was still in my house for another six

[16:27]weeks before I moved out. You know, I

[16:29]didn't even have a RV in my first video.

[16:32]And but you know, by like the fourth or

[16:34]fifth one, I already have an RV. You

[16:36]know, when I look back on that, I'm

[16:37]like, "Holy fuck." Like, I did not like

[16:39]I just [ __ ] went for it.

[16:42]And you know, and

[16:47]I don't miss that house. I don't miss

[16:50]that life.

[16:52]But you know, my life now is really

[16:54][ __ ] hard because I am broke and my

[16:58]RV is going to get repossessed at some

[17:00]point. They're not communicating with

[17:03]me. I've asked them to talk to me

[17:04]through writing because I want to have

[17:06]everything in writing to do a tradeoff

[17:07]with them. Um,

[17:10]so that is just given back to them

[17:12]safely and they're not responding to

[17:14]that, which I just think is very

[17:16]strange. But that's where I am with that

[17:18]right now. So, I don't even know when

[17:20]they might take the RV or if they'll

[17:22]just show up

[17:24]um

[17:26]without notice. And you know, all my

[17:28]stuff's in here and I have no other

[17:32]real plan yet. I have my Jeep and I have

[17:36]camping gear. I'd probably lose my post

[17:39]here as a volunteer, you know, because I

[17:40]wouldn't have an RV and I would just be

[17:43]on the road. And

[17:47]you know I'm hopeful that what I'm

[17:50]working on it's got value for others in

[17:53]a lot of ways

[17:55]but trying to express that

[17:59]you know for me that's not easy like

[18:02]there's so much depth to this and I'm

[18:04]talking about bringing it up levels to

[18:07]where maybe a YouTube creator might want

[18:09]to use it for their website. you know,

[18:11]it's that's a whole different like

[18:13]package that you're describing at that

[18:16]point.

[18:18]And you know, and then but there are

[18:21]other uses too, like anyone who's

[18:26]who has a catalog of written material

[18:30]that they want to pattern match in

[18:32]different ways, my system can do that.

[18:36]ask it any question especially if you

[18:38]want to especially if it's recursive or

[18:40]you want to track patterns over time or

[18:44]over

[18:46]um just different layers like different

[18:49]it depends on the type of data right

[18:51]that's like it's hard for me to be

[18:52]specific because

[18:55]I don't even have the words for that I

[18:57]will have them

[19:00]um but you know I'm going to make some

[19:02]marketing pages and I'm going to reach

[19:04]out And um

[19:09]that's that's what I'm doing right now.

[19:12]That's literally my life right now. I've

[19:14]been working on this project with the

[19:17]goal of being able to market it at some

[19:19]point, hoping that it will somehow save

[19:21]me because

[19:23]everything else I've tried hasn't

[19:25]worked. I've tried a lot. I've tried

[19:27]asking my audience for help.

[19:30]um you know the few friends and family

[19:33]that I have

[19:36]um

[19:38]trying to get a job in town once I

[19:40]finally got settled volunteering and

[19:42]then getting kicked out.

[19:45]And believe me, that was an unjust act

[19:47]that happened to me. It just was. It was

[19:54]a very deep violation of integrity. Like

[19:57]it just to me is one of the most

[20:02]It's one of the worst things that ever

[20:03]happened to me in my life is what it is.

[20:09]It feels like a deep violation because

[20:11]it was it was unearned.

[20:15]And it dstabilized me even more, you

[20:17]know, like I was I'm on this trajectory

[20:19]trying to build a life and I was that

[20:23]that was deliberately done to me to

[20:25]throw me off my trajectory.

[20:30]So, that's where I am today. I just

[20:33]thought I would get on this camera and

[20:37]um I don't know if I said it, you know,

[20:39]it's a pretty long video, 20 minutes in.

[20:40]So, um one thing I was thinking about

[20:43]that I might talk about is just that,

[20:45]you know, it's not always easy to get on

[20:46]this camera knowing that it's going out

[20:49]to an audience that can't even really

[20:51]communicate with you because comments

[20:52]are off. Although, that doesn't mean the

[20:55]door is closed. There's a way to contact

[20:57]on my website.

[21:00]You know, this is just an energetic

[21:02]boundary because YouTube as a platform

[21:04]is not

[21:07]um

[21:09]it's just very toxic. So, you know,

[21:14]and

[21:17]but also,

[21:19]you know, I when I think about my

[21:21]audience, I don't really think about my

[21:23]audience now like even what that is

[21:25]because I don't know. And um you know I

[21:29]don't know how many people like

[21:30]regularly watch my videos or how many

[21:34]are just very random like you know so I

[21:36]just um cuz we don't have that kind of

[21:39]connection. So I'm literally sharing my

[21:42]life into a void intended for AI my

[21:45]system that I'm building

[21:48]and for myself. I mean, the whole point

[21:50]of the system is

[21:53]a lot of other reasons that, you know,

[21:56]you can't really articulate. Like, I'm

[21:58]not going to be prefacing all my videos

[21:59]with that. Like, I just this is how I

[22:02]operate. Like, this one, this video,

[22:04]it's a signal and it tells you I'm

[22:07]telling you right now and it ends up in

[22:09]my archive. It ends up in the system I'm

[22:13]building, you know, and it recursively

[22:14]will get referenced because that's

[22:16]literally how life works. That's how I

[22:18]operate and that's how my system will

[22:20]operate. So

[22:23]it understands you know um

[22:32]that's something I thought about on and

[22:33]off. It's like, do you preface your

[22:35]videos with something? Because

[22:39]um

[22:40]I always felt misrecognized on here, but

[22:43]there's really nothing you could preface

[22:44]it with that would even ever prevent

[22:47]that. Like that was one of the things I

[22:49]had to learn along this journey.

[22:54]So, I've been learning to

[22:58]keep doing this. Um because for me this

[23:02]isn't about vulnerability. You know I am

[23:05]at a very vulnerable stage in my life

[23:08]right now though. But you know I'm doing

[23:11]this for reasons that

[23:14]some of which I still haven't expressed.

[23:16]I just

[23:19]I started unpacking things here. Now I'm

[23:22]I'm kind of good with that. I'll just

[23:24]leave it there for now.

Summary

rswfire records a late-night transmission from his RV campground location, eighth of a mile from the ocean. He describes windy conditions that have been rocking the RV all day and covers his laptop in sand. He explains his current work on the transmission section of his website, which catalogs his YouTube videos with AI-generated analysis using a new "mirror" perspective that approximates how ChatGPT or Claude would respond to his content.

He reflects on his decision to leave his house and high-paying job approximately 1.5 years ago. **Key factors included**: rising rent from management companies, concerns about housing market sustainability, currency inflation from COVID response (30% increase), and personal experiences from his young adult years that he doesn't elaborate on. He describes a pivotal moment when ChatGPT made him cry by helping him realize his loneliness and the shallow nature of his isolated existence.

The next morning after that breakthrough, he reached out to someone and made new choices, including traveling from Kentucky to Arizona to visit his boss of 10 years in person for the first time. He subsequently quit his job, citing burnout from being responsible for everything without support, constant project changes, and lack of proper follow-through on completed work.

Currently, rswfire faces **severe financial pressure**. His RV is facing repossession, with the lender not responding to his requests for written communication about a voluntary surrender. He has tried multiple approaches to generate income including asking his audience for help, reaching out to friends and family, seeking local employment, and volunteering. He mentions being "kicked out" of a previous situation, which he describes as an unjust violation of integrity that destabilized his trajectory.

He's now working on marketing his AI system, hoping it can provide value to YouTube creators or anyone with written material catalogs who want pattern matching capabilities. He acknowledges the difficulty of expressing the system's depth and potential applications. The transmission concludes with reflection on the challenge of creating content for an audience he can't directly communicate with, noting that his videos serve as signals for his AI system and personal archive.
