I have never heard of you, am Brazilian and don't usually watch content in English, but this is great and I'm glad UA-cam recommended it to me, keep up the great work
Recently got off all socials to better embrace that “realness” you mention at the end. Thank you for making long form content, and I hope you know it’s appreciated!
Thank you so much for this video essay, Professor! Wow. This video has been the first, in a while, that had not stricken fear but faithfully informs me about what it is we’re headed into.
I think your assessments are reasonable and will likely prove accurate. Nice to see a modern communicator spend the time to think about “what” they present to the world, and then “how best” to present only that.
Kyla, you are - hands down- my go-to tin hat wearer. I'll probably be wearing one a lot like yours soon. More folks need to try them on... as always- thanks!
Kyla, your videos are among the most insightful and well though out available. I suspect that videos like this will be available from one's personal AI in the future and if you choose to have thoughtful, accurate and insightful that is what you will get. I do wonder how many people at that point will choose mis-information, infotainment and the ugliness which is so common and widespread. At least at that point, people won't be able to ignore that they are intentionally choosing misinformation.
This piece is so powerful. I wish more people would connect these dots. It's not tin-foil-hat thinking. It's a plea to stay grounded in reality rather than succumb to spectacle.
Kyla, Now we’re talking, this is an analysis and your great capacity is showing 🎉I missed that from you before even though I always said you were well read, here you also round up with unique and interesting takes - outside the box as well as within.
Awesome video, ironically we’re all watching this on UA-cam (an attention exploiting platform). I’m in the middle of reading “Stolen Focus” by Johann Hari and it’s been phenomenal so far. It talks about a lot of these concepts in more detail, and it’s an easy book to follow.
Every anti-tariff arguments seem to ignore the tariffs on Japanese cars in the 80s What happened? Japanese makers opened factories in America to avoid tariffs, which created jobs. Free trade proponents like Kyla know this, but they don’t see Americans jobs as a good in themselves. Ppl who want their neighbors to succeed want those neighbors to have good jobs. Free trade proponents see no difference from a slave wage job in China or a job in America. I think our gov should care more about American jobs than corporations making an extra 20% profit Hope Kyla starts talking to more working ppl and unions, instead of just free trade weirdos.
Incredible video, perhaps the best I have ever seen! We live in a society of spectacle where attention and narrative manipulate human emotion and beliefs to control and consolidate power and wealth
Hi Kyla, I really enjoy your content but I have a major question on this one. You say that no economist thinks tariffs are a good a idea but a quick (and uninformed) google search tells me that most if not all major countries impose tariffs of one kind or another. Is this a prisoner's dilemma situation where being the only one who doesn't impose tariffs makes you an economic loser but we would be better without them overall or is that statement an over simplification? I know it might be complex but you are my most trusted source on the economy in general and i am hoping you could provide a bit of clarification!
Very well produced video, Kyla! Love the breakdown. All of this reminds me of what you mentioned in a previous video - Attention is prayer, and people are frustrated cause they (pay attention) pray to a lifeless god (the algorithm). The people who can influence the algorithm, on the other hand, control the narrative and thereby benefit off of it.
Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (mistake turkey blossom warfare blade until bachelor fall squeeze today flee guitar). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?
tariffs are bad for the short term but good for the long term. you can not rely on your biggest enemy for most of your product especially during times of war and turmoil.
10:00 Microsoft alone is investing 80 billion dollars a year in OpenAI. What's insane is that the training speed of AI models scales linearly with the amount of NVIDIA GPUs. So double the amount of GPUs, halve the amount of training time.
@@KylaScanlon It took deepseek 2 months to train the model on $5.5 million of hardware that they had "lying around". Furthermore, they say they own 50.000 NVIDIA gpus they cannot talk about because of export controls. I have a relatively new GPU and I can run the deepseek v3 model with 32 billion parameters. I asked the model for a program in C++, it returns some python code that does not do what I asked. The full 600 billion parameter model requires 200+ GB RAM to run, i.e., you need a gpu server cluster, which is what one is using through azure and others when querying ChatGPT and the like. Former Microsoft Engineer Dave Plummer who, amongst other things, created Task Manager, tested a 405 billion parameter model, (open sourced, by Meta last year) in a video with the title "Run Local LLMs on Hardware from $50 to $50,000 - We Test and Compare!". He ran it on a $50,000 machine that he rented from Dell and it took 30 minutes to spit out the answer to one query. I don't think most people have GPU server clusters in their homes, unless they are cryptominers like the people at the communist hedge fund (lol) deepseek.
I would just like to add that, unlike Bitcoin, "DJT coin" serves as shares in Trump Influence Inc. The top buyers are correct in seeing very real, profitable value in the influence attached to being a major shareholder. Musk's ROI on his $.25B investment bodes well for their own prospects, and it was understood that this is the real value being traded.
while daydreaming about growing up to be a currency speculator i got caught up i i the work of things. seems though the speculation on speculation took for front with shorts and so on. selling everything i have atm, you comping a book toward the pursuit to read your book for the kid while im around a rim.
4:19 did Trump coin actually "create wealth", or would it be better described as Schrodinger's cash? Just multipliying the number of them by the kast traded price is pretty meaningless really, except for belief of people who don't think deeply (so a lot of people)
Keep following this idea of attention with a good conscience and you’ll find yourself in a church giving your attention to an all loving and all forgiving creator.
The real issue with the Tiktok ban is that is highlights the massive hole where an American data privacy legal framework would be. If America had one like Europe's, what would that do the American economy, I wonder.
Thanks for watching!
This is very helpful, thank you
Thanks for your effort❤
Have you ever read The Sovereign Individual by Mogg? Just curious. Great segment btw
Intellect is so rare in this country.
Such a lot of effort in making this video. Thank you for your time.
Love your videos. With all the news of tariffs, meme coins, natural disasters. I just feel tired. I wanna just sleep.
Holy shit your production quality has improved so much in just a year!
Kyla, please keep up this amazing work. It's truly insightful!
thank you, I hope it helps!
You knocked it out of the park once again, thanks Kyla
Clearly and concisely explained, as always. Thank you, Kyla 😃
I have never heard of you, am Brazilian and don't usually watch content in English, but this is great and I'm glad UA-cam recommended it to me, keep up the great work
We are so cooked...
Recently got off all socials to better embrace that “realness” you mention at the end. Thank you for making long form content, and I hope you know it’s appreciated!
Insightful indeed, thank you!
More people should watch your videos
Thank you so much for this video essay, Professor! Wow. This video has been the first, in a while, that had not stricken fear but faithfully informs me about what it is we’re headed into.
The things you said at the end about our attention were wise beyond your years! So good.
👏🏼 Perfectly explained.
This should be standard viewing for everyone.
Excellent takes here.
We're toast.
I think your assessments are reasonable and will likely prove accurate. Nice to see a modern communicator spend the time to think about “what” they present to the world, and then “how best” to present only that.
Good job beast. You cooked on this one.
Always appreciate the work you do Kyla. Thanks again.
800 likes with 6000 views is crazy. Seriously crazy. Good job
Yeah I need to get your book. This video was a great explanation of whats going on.
Excellent talk Kyla.
Brilliant video! Love the channel!
Thanks Kyla for such insightful explanation of how things work nowadays. Simply brilliant
Wow, your production value has really improved. Also love your book. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Very impressive comments Kyla. Well done
Thanks for all that you do.
I've been watching you for a couple of years now Kayla and your videos keep getting better and better! Bravo!

Critical, sincere and heartfelt video. We are in the best state in the world so far and yet so worrying..
Excellent insight. The idea of the feedback loop you describe as unregulatable is something to grapple with. Thank you.
You put this into perspective very well. Depressing but I think people are starting to wake up. Great video.
Well done Kyla! #1 smart person.
Your channel is amazing!! ❤
❤️❤️ very informative... Thanks
Hi Kyla, thank you. I find you compelling and your analysis informative and insightful.
1:40 This whole animation is cute. It reminds me of the trippy art you'd see on PBS in the early 90s.
This piece is so powerful. I wish more people would connect these dots. It's not tin-foil-hat thinking. It's a plea to stay grounded in reality rather than succumb to spectacle.
thank you for the work you do to give viewers nuanced perspectives about the confusing and evolving world we live in
Amazing video. Wow. Thank you.

keeep making more videos!
Love your take on it all! I feel more grounded now thank you for your hard work
Kayla you are the GOAT!! Absolutely love your content and uploads, thank you for your time. :)
New viewer here, you are correct whomever garners the most attention will control the narrative.
Thank you for the consistently insightful information and content!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention 😉😂

We are what we pretend to be so we must be careful about what we pretend to be

When people wrote about Giants in mythology, they were referring to things exactly such as TikTok
I wept at attention based speculation. we really do be here huh
Economics PhD student here. Great video, sincerely, but you may want to alter the title a bit to include control/power and the attention economy.
nothing has changed just that time is compressed.
I’m still waiting on SBF to get pardoned and put on some grand government committee
You create value Kyla, even for a random guy halfway across the world. I'd love to see you prosper!
Attention does not create wealth. Just because people are gambling does not mean that gambling creates wealth
Money girl dropped a vid! Lessgo!

My investment in Kodak still hasn't paid off. 2023's call on more face to face and less digital was a total bust call.
I am also outraged about the systematic destruction of Pete Hegseth's liver. How can he drink so much Bud Light?

"With tariffs everybody loses at the end of the day."
But who wins?

Are we going to talk about TWO Presidents thinking they can tell the DOJ to just not enforce the law passed by Congress?
tariffs are bad for the short term but good for the long term. you can not rely on your biggest enemy for most of your product especially during times of war and turmoil.
When did China attack the United States? Usual one has to earn the title of enemy but enough propaganda will do the trick.

wen KYLA coin hehe
surely this is wrong, i was told the market is efficient

11:16 postmodernist utopia? Also they capture currency, they dont create wealth, currency which is loaned into existence to those with assets
I'm giving you my undivided attention for 12 minutes 😉

Yikes
FDV is imaginary and to describe changes to it as creation (upward) or wiping off (downward) exaggerates its significance.
The snake oil salesman president.
Genuinely your most depressing video thus far.
I'm so happy!! Never been more optimistic for the future. God Bless President Trump!
U r beautiful
