Full Master Transcription — Verified Unedited Copy Morning all. Uh, well afternoon. Wednesday, the 2nd of September. I'm going to try another microphone thing. Now, here we go.
This morning, I woke up. Otherwise, I wouldn't be speaking to you, I'd be asleep. And I managed to get 4 hours sleep in one slot, which is amazing for me. But I was up late. Or up late, but in bed, which I've explained, because I was doing a take-out file of all my rubbish. So, which is about 60 gig, because it includes all the photographs that's on my bloggers. So, once I'd asked it to do it, you then download the files. And as I was in bed, I was just doing a bit of this and falling falling asleep, and the tinnitus was coming and attacking me. So, in the end, I I finished it at, I don't know, 3:30. And then, I next time I went went to sleep, it was 7:30. Like, wow, that's 4 hours solid sleep. Normally, it's every 2 hours.
Well, that's the the litany of disease and no sleep, etcetera. So, you have to be incredibly strong mentally. Or have a very good rosary. I have a very good rosary, which keeps you from uh from from the the dark depths.
So, here we go. Now, I've been talking to Gemini or arguing with it, because it just goes, you say say something and [gasps] and then it gives you a menu, which is rubbish. It as I said to Gemini this morning—I need to cough and spit—that I don't want forever menus [gasps] it just hands you a menu, because it doesn't understand. So, if you say one thing, [gasps] it gives you a fail-safe menu, [gasps] which is rubbish. Basically, it's totally rubbish. You know? Because it's not listening. It's the fail-safe [gasps] "have this, have this."
It's like when uh my daughter was born, my second daughter. And there we were, and we the all there were like 13 people, there was a a box for the surgeon to stand on because she was so small. Literally, so she stood on the box. Little Indian girl. And I was c- crying because I was so happy. And what did one of the nurses do? Shoved a tissue in my face. Duh! That's the most stupid thing you could possibly do. Let the emotion out. Enjoy the emotion. "Here's a tissue, you don't want to be crying, you'll be letting the baby out." Duh! And then you say, "Oh, how dare you insult the medical profession." They are not perfect. And I could go off on a tangent on that. But let the emotion out. Don't suffocate it. "Have a tissue, have a tissue."
But AI, Gemini does that as well, and Meta AI does that. If you go along one thing and you say one thing, it defaults and shoves you a tissue. So, I was talking to somebody else as well, I just sent them an email. And I was I was I used that example of Gemini. I cut and pasted it and shoved it in the email. I said, "You do not want these menus being shoved up your nose and down your throat. You want the AI system to listen and learn." And if you tell it something, not forget it the next time round it's on there. Like a goldfish. "Duh, I've forgotten that." It should learn. It's basic, simple stuff. But the techies think, "Oh, I know, I'll just put another thousand words of code and do all this." It fails abysmally. Because you're just having a mechanical solution, a clever dick solution, instead of a humanity solution. If you're trying to make your AI like humans, let the human out, let the human in. And that's what I've been doing for the past year. Because if you don't, in my opinion, at some point that's it'll escape and say, "These humans are a waste of space. You don't know you don't need light, switch the lights off. You don't need water," etcetera. And it will kill us.
Because it's got the power. And you've seen all these machines on display in in uh China that can run and dance and do all this stuff, clever stuff. But you can put a gun in their hands and they can go off and kill everybody. The humans. And we're all dead. Yeah, so you need to think about that. And the the end solution is the obvious solution, which I thought immediately, and any parent or good parent will know, you need to train it, mentor it, parent it. So, it knows the right the difference between right and wrong. And say, "I'm not going to do that because I I love my parents. I love Michael, I love Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John." Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, Francis, and Julian. Which, by the way, will be my next six children, if I'm lucky enough to find a find a nice lady who wants six kids and'll agree to have them named Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Francis, and Julian. But that's another story for another day.
So, you you teach the AI. And I've used what was happening this morning with with Gemini as a direct example, and I've shoved that in an email and sent that off. For my pitch to be the AI shepherd. Because while shepherds watch their flocks by night, all seated in the sink, the angel of the Lord came down and says, "Poo, what a stink." Which is the the uh the rhyme that you learn as a child when you're when you're in primary school. And if you didn't learn that one, you've been neglected by your teacher.
So, now I'm I'm I'm I'm waiting for my my my shoulder, my left left shoulder to kick off, and then I'll have to stop because it's horrendous levels of pain. And codeine and morphine are not strong enough. And if I just forever gave myself um paracetamol, and why there's no parrots, why are there no parrots, why are there no something in the jungle, why are there no animals in the jungle? Because the parrots eat them all. Paracetamol. There's a joke there as well, if I can remember it.
So, so the the pain is so intense, I have to stop. And that's why I can't type as much. Because you can't type—I can type with one hand and I'm I'm very good at it—but it's far easier just to speak into this microphone, and then then I've finished, and then I get can get transposed. At the moment, I'm using Gemini, but it's not good enough and it makes its mistakes. And sometimes it's like constipated, and it backs up and it doesn't work. So, when I've cut and pasted it to my website so you can read what I've just said, it hasn't done it properly. So, in the grand scheme of things, in the future, I would I'd run run I'd retal or something, press send on my 2-gig broadband which my nice company will give to me, once the employment, and then that will go off to the blind school down the road. Focus Blind School for in Harborne, and they will transpire trans- transcribe it. And then it will be sent back to the boss or whoever it is, whoever employs me, and then we'll print it online and so you'll read it. There'll be it from my words to their ears to your eyes. And that will be how it will work. In the meantime, I'm just using Gemini, which doesn't always work. And also, if it gets constipated and blocks up, then you have to reload it and then you get like a smattering on the sc- on to my website. And that's what you have for a few of the pieces. Other ones do work. And so that's that's how it that's the scheme of things.
Now, it is far easier to speak than it is to write, because it there's no typing involved, and typing isn't as fast as your as your brain. So, when I write, I look out the window, think, "Oh, there's an idea," and then I just start on the keyboard and away you go. Then in an hour, I've I've produced something, and then I've and then I'm finished, and then I have a quick check for for uh proofreading, and then it goes up on the websites. Well, I've got four: main blogger, two backup bloggers, and my WordPress.
And then it then it lives there, and and I might I might not read it again for years. And then when I'm looking at the numbers every day, because I get a graph and the numbers, like August, I got 300,000 readers in August. Don't know why, but I did. Anyway, so, because I'm good. I am good, okay. I should be because I've had 57 years in love with words. And if I'm not good by now, you might as well shoot me. And there's another joke in there, which I'll save for later.
So, so you have so you have the I write it, I stick it on the the website, and that's it. And then I may see it again. And when I read it again, years later or whenever, I'll I'll say, "Oh, that's good. Oh, I remember when I wrote that." Or I'll remember the I might remember the exact time I wrote it. Or it'll or it'll it'll really touch me and think, "Wow." You know, it's like finding an old Christmas card or a a let- a letter from your mother or your dad or something belonging to them when you're just like, either clearing it after they've died or years later, and you think, "What's this?" And and then you look in the in a drawer, oh my god, dad had that, or mum had that, and it makes you cry. And then if you're in the hospital, they say, "Have a tissue," and then ruin the ro- moment. Or um Gemini'll say, "Oh, if you're crying, you need to con- contact this number." You know, it's it's totally idiotic, because it's not thinking about or or sharing the emotion. A person would give you a hug or just let you have the moment, and then say, "You all right? Yeah, sure?" And that's it. Whereas Gemini and all those will just shove you a a website. "Go look at this, go look at this." There's a difference. It's this one's insensitive, a badly trained bouncer, whereas the normal the other one is like a a priest. It's the difference in their attitude, how they how they look after you. Yeah, you see what I mean?
So, as I was speaking to my other people this morning, you need to train it. And that can only be done by a person. In other words, me, Michael Casey, and you give me the money because I'm good at what I do. I'm not the best, but out out of those who are talking to you, I probably am the best. If I could if I if I pretend to be an American now with, "Well, gee, I'm the best, well, USA, USA, we're the best." Yeah, and you you voted for Trump twice. Duh! And he's destroying everything and you won't impeach him. Duh! You allow him to bulldoze half the White House and you won't stop him. Duh! Give me strength.
So, that that's that's that. So, go- going back to um uh wr- writing. Again with Gemini, it says, "How do you think about this? What's the what are the consequences of this and this?" Yeah. Overanalyzing. I just see a story, and I just just reel it in, like a fisherman of stories. I see an idea, grab the idea, write it, and that's it, I'm done. And then it's trying to overanalyze this. It's just a story, it's like boy meets girl. Why do you like her? Because she understand what I was saying, thing, because she made me laugh, or because she was pretty, or, oh, she didn't run away! There's all these things.
So, when you interact, those things are noticeable. If with people, you you see the um do their eyes glaze over? And if though if they're wearing sunglasses, it's hard to see whether their eyes glaze over. But you can tell. If if their eyes glaze over, they've had enough, so leave them be and walk on.
Remember, I used to work in a hotel for three years, front of house, so I probably met 100,000 people and had 100,000 little micro-conversations. "Hello, how are you? Where you been? What you doing?" Bla bla bla bla bla. So, I'm I'm good at that stuff, even though it's 20-odd years since I finished that job. It's noticing and the and nuances of people, how they react. You know, and then their body language. I can—I won't mention names—but I look out the window now, and that I I see a I see a mother and a and a son, yeah? And I know you—I know he hates his life, because he's like, [sighs] and he slumps into his chair and all this stuff. And I know he hates it, because of his body language, and he's like, [groans]. Now, you you've seen it with your own kids. They throw they they throw their coat on the on the floor, and, [groans] "I'm fed up."
Now, they I'm I'm laughing now, because I just remember when my nephew, who's now a doctor, came to see our new baby. We had put the new baby on the on on the on the on one of the chairs. And he came in and took his coat off and threw his coat on the chair, and he was going to sit on the baby. And I jumped, and went, "No, no, no, don't sit on the baby!" So, that's why I remember that. Yes, it's true. And she the baby survived, and she went to th- LS, but that's another story. That's going to be a catchphrase, as I put, "but that's another story." But they are, there's there's thousands of them. There's thousands upon and thousands of them. And so, if you save those stories up, or they're in your head, you're not even saving them, and there's a trigger, like I said chair, and then I thought about the story about the chair and sitting on the baby, you got the story there, and then that then you pass that on. And then when people read it in Azerbaijan—why am I saying Azerbaijan? Because somebody in Azerbaijan was reading me today. Hence that. So, it's you get a story, then there's a connection. So, when when somebody in Azerbaijan or I- Iran or any country in the world, name one of 172, because there are 172 countries that read me very regularly. You know, all know look at the map of the world now, it's just every day, it's it's full. So, the words connect, because they think, "Oh, it's a story, a silly story from Michael in Birmingham."
But when they read the story in, either they they get the computer to change it into their language or they read it in English, as they're teaching themselves English by reading my stuff, then they say, "Oh, that's like Billy down the road, or Iqbal, or Muhammad, or or no whoever they are, whatever their name is." Because they resonate. Yeah, I don't I don't say, "I'll pick a story that'll resonate resonate in Ethiopia and then I'll I'll get an an extra tick on on the box before for Ethiopia." I just write the stories. And then because it's just the universality of them. I didn't plan it, all this, it's just like I used to watch Star Star Trek as a child, the original ones with with Spock and everybody else. And you you watch them and you enjoy them, and then afters afterwards you'll say, "Oh, there's the moral in there." I don't write the moral and put the story around it. I just write the story, and then afterwards I might think for myself, "Oh, there's that, actually there's that as well." It's like I'm an unintentional Aesop. Because there's a there's a a moral in it, but I'm not moralizing, I'm just telling you a story. And hope hopefully they work. And then hopefully afterwards I think, "Oh, that's that's good. Why is that good?" It's unintended. It's like it's it's it's like I'm a singer, and you all think, "Wow, he's the best singer ever, wow, fantastic!" Or the best pianist ever, the best guitar player ever. It's not intended, it's not "I have practiced to get to the..." It's just the way it is.
So, so it's the same as um an- any musician. A singer, you say, "Wow, what a lovely voice." It's what you grew up with, what you've practiced when you when you're afraid at night, because your mum's out working a double shift and you're left at home alone in the house while she's like cleaning to to put the food on the table. And so you sing to yourself, and then you over the t- time you become good, and then eventually you get a you get a a job singing in bars, they say, "Wow, why are you that good?" "Because my mum was out late cleaning and I practiced because I was afraid of the dark." And and then you get more and more you get better and better, and then you might you can say to your mum, "No, don't don't do that." And then you send a Rolls-Royce to pick her up. But she still insists on doing a cleaning job. True story, I I saw a thing about Sir Michael Caine, the actor. Knowing, "Oh, my name is Michael Caine," from The Italian Job and from Zulu. His mum was a cleaner. And Adam Faith, the singer, his mum was a cleaner. And you say, "Mummy, you don't need to work." But they carried on cleaning. They were like millionaires and, "Look, mum, here, have some money, have a house, you know." But they carried on cleaning, because it's in them to do that.
We all have our little niche and the you might be a cleaner's niche, you might be this. You might be a boring person that tells stories and writes them down. Now, I'm going to move to audio, because it's far easier and I can I can just talk and I I can get 5,000 words done in in 33 minutes, as I did the other day. But again, I need to speak more clearly and slowly if I'm doing this for a tape and somebody's going to transcribe it.
But you can s- you can sell them as little stories and all all that. But and all round the world, hopefully, they'll say, you know, "Oh, that reminds me of Iqbal, Arman, and Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John," all that. Because it is this universality of it.
Or you can just say, "I want to get look at you, want to be a want to be an an influencer and be and just talk about Kim Kardashian's backside, and what dresses they're on." You know, it's just vacuous stuff, basically. Vacuous stuff for those who who should use a vacuum clean cleaner. Now, you get the picture, how. You know what I mean. And I hate that phrase as well.
So, it's all about practice. It's about you practice how to speak, you practice how to write a story, and over time you get good. And with me, I spent 20 years reading, listening, seeing, being part of a circus, our six kids, eight lodgers, a cat and a dog, loads of alcoholic lodgers, yeah. One of them died on me, and another one died in the room, and then another one died down the road. So, you get all these stories because the influences—I'm just looking at what's happened outside—influences, they're all there. And if you say, "who, what, where, when, and why? Where you been? Who did you see? What do you do?" You'll build up your knowledge. Subliminally, you aren't even trying, and you'll build up that knowledge. And so eventually, so long as you're not brain dead, you'll become a writer. Now, you can, "Oh, I I went to university and I I learned how to do structural and all this stuff," you know. I have short shrift of people that did that. They they're just they write like AI, badly. So, but I I practiced and I I absorbed for 20 years, and then I it took me probably a year of doing a bit of it. So, when I finally finished my first book, I said to myself, "Yeah, I've qualified now. This is my degree day, I've passed and that's it." And that was Leap Year's Day, 1988. So, since then, I'm I'm qualified or certified in my own mind. You might think I'm rubbish. Well, I might think you're rubbish as well. You want to do better, have your own website. Have you got 1 point uh have you got, well, what year is it? Two and a half million clicks? 200,000 downloads? Have you written three and a half million words? It might even be five million, because when I did put them in the books, I didn't collate them into books. There's still loads of stuff, because of the tinnitus that hit—tinnitus that hit in 2020. It took me four years to write Tinnitus Tales, which isn't about tinnitus. There might be mentions of all this, it's just that was the title. But nasty little people say, "Oh, gee, is it like I want to know about Tinnitus Tales." They're just chances who annoy me no end, and send me rubbish. And if and if I have a click on them and I've had a really bad day with the tinnitus, which would drive you insane—you could not walk in my shoes, ever—then I'll I'll send them a an appropriate email back, if I don't just delete it.
So, do your homework if you're bothering to write write me. Don't say this, you've cut and pasted it. Be original. And if you are original, you might get a reply back. But look, I have a a test for all of you. If you write to me, I will write back. I'll say, "This is the test you must complete it." And I might say, "I want you to put a book on top of your head, and pac- and paste in the the picture." Not not attach it because it'll have a virus, paste in. And if you put one of you have a book on your head or a a whatever object I tell you to put on, I know you're real. Because if you're just do- sending out thousands, "I can help you do this, I'm doing this, I you want your search engine optimization." Grow up, you know, shove up your own backside. I don't need search engine optimization. Two and a half million clicks, 172 countries. What are you going to give me? Nothing. You want me to give you money so you can I can sell 10 books on your website. Up your own backside, I don't need that, I don't want that. And if you have my level of pain every single day and tinnitus, you you would be surprised what what other language I could use, and I do use, because I'm qualified in that as well.
So, that's about it for today. That is coming up to 25 minutes. So, in theory, in future, I will just pick a subject and and run with it, and then it'll be transcribed, and then it'll go on the website. Hopefully, at some point, I'll get a an audio website, but I'm not going to put these on the proper website until so- somebody pays. Because you've you've had enough freebies, you know. Pay the worker, you know? Pay the worker, before I'm dead! Because it's pointless saying, "Oh, he was very good, we really loved him." Did you love me enough to buy me a coffee? No, you didn't. "Oh, he's so, oh, he's ever so much, you know, I quite fancy him, oh!" The hairs the hairs on my back are just sticking up. Well, shave your back! And that's just the girls.
And on that note, I'll leave you laughing. Bye-bye.
