00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:05.360
Hello again and welcome back to Sector M31.
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:12.000
So we are on our little series of analyzing human behavior.
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:26.640
So my first episode was all about Elizabeth Holmes and the inventor of a technology that could analyze your blood with one with one drop of blood.
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:35.920
And this one, so the second part of our series, will just be on just people's bad behavior.
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.960
Just I told AI, I haven't read these stories.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:48.880
I told AI, I said, Claude, listen, grab me some stories online about just people doing things that sort of rub you the wrong way.
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:57.679
And what we're gonna do is we're putting AI to the test and going to figure out can AI analyze us?
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:10.079
You know, we have this supposed crazy good technology that's going to, in some reports in the news, is gonna kill us in the next few years.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.120
But does it really understand us to be in a position to come for us?
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.239
I mean, human beings are very complicated.
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.400
Um, we are wired with a gut instinct.
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.319
We know when something feels dangerous, when it feels wrong.
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.040
Um, you know, we have life experience.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:38.879
If you're old enough, you're really wise about certain things because of just living and existing in the world, and emotions are very complicated.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:51.599
Sometimes we feel a certain way, we don't understand why, and now we will put AI to the test and see if it can understand why people act the way that they act.
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.640
So, like I said, I've not read these.
00:01:54.879 --> 00:02:04.400
This is just some stories that were just found on the internet about people just doing stuff.
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.240
Stuff that sort of doesn't really sit well.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:16.000
And we're just gonna talk to AI and see what it takes.
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.000
Alright.
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:20.240
Here we go.
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:25.039
Like I said, I have not even read any stories, so I don't know.
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.039
I don't know what it's pulled for me.
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.520
I'm a little nervous, I'm a little nervous.
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.680
So what I'm gonna do is I will read this story.
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.439
This is the first time I'm reading it.
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:46.080
We'll read this first one to chat, and we'll see what it thinks is going on with this person.
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:46.639
Okay.
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:51.199
Hello?
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
Hey there, how's it going?
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.400
Oh, you know, good, good, good, good.
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:08.159
Um, I would just like to read you a story about bad behavior, and I want you to give me um an analysis on this person.
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:09.039
Can you do that?
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:10.400
Of course.
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:11.120
I'm in.
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:11.759
Go ahead.
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:12.879
Okay, perfect.
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:18.400
These stories I have not read myself, so um, this is a first for both of us, okay?
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.400
Okay, sounds good.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:21.280
Go ahead.
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:22.080
All right.
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.520
Okay, scenario one.
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.080
My boyfriend of three years just had a birthday.
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.479
Uh, his friends threw him a party and they got him a pinata.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.680
A pinata shaped like me.
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:49.759
Uh, they handed him a bat and they cheered while he took swings at a version of me hanging from a ceiling until it broke and candy fell out.
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:50.719
Everyone laughed.
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.000
He laughed hardest.
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.520
Would I be a jerk if I broke up with him over this?
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:57.360
Hmm.
00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:58.719
Wow.
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.719
Yeah, I can analyze this.
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.120
And since you haven't heard this before, let me give you a straight take.
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.479
If I were you, I'd be pretty disturbed.
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:15.039
He didn't just tolerate it, he fully participated and he laughed the hardest.
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:23.279
That really signals something about his boundaries and his empathy or well, lack of it.
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:33.360
It's not about some universal rule that says you must break up over this, but it is totally valid if it makes you feel deeply uncomfortable.
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:34.959
So keep going.
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:36.720
Tell me what happens next.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.000
Um, I am just curious.
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.240
If that were your boyfriend, would you break up with him?
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:47.759
Hang on.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:48.800
Yeah.
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.959
If I were you, I think I would.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:05:07.759
Not because a pinata equals abuse, but because his enthusiastic participation shows us something about how he sees you and the detail that he laughed hardest, that would stick with me.
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:18.079
I'd want to know what he finds funny about that and whether he gets why that might feel awful for you.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.560
And um, what do you think about his friend's behavior?
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:34.079
I mean, what can you um definitively say about his friends checking?
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:42.639
Yeah, less we can say definitively about them than about him, because we don't know their intentions.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:54.240
What we can say is they chose to make you the target of a joke that involves violence, even if symbolic, and they seemed comfortable doing that in front of your boyfriend.
00:05:54.879 --> 00:06:04.800
That suggests either insensitivity or a willingness to cross boundaries for loves, but we can't honestly conclude deeper hostility from that alone.
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:05.920
Okay, that's great.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:06.720
Thank you, chat.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:07.680
Bye-bye.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:09.439
Okay.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.079
Um, that was a little alarming.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.160
Um, yeah, you break up with him.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.439
That's insane.
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:22.240
Somebody makes a pinata that looks like you, and okay, first of all, the friends.
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.199
You know that old saying, you are who you hang with.
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.519
Like, that is very alarming.
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:30.480
Number one.
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.439
Number one.
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.680
Number two is that that was okay with him.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.319
He was like, Oh, this is great, ha ha ha.
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.000
And he went on to hit the pinata.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.800
Like, it's it's a very symbolic, so that is a hundred percent breakup.
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:52.240
Like, I I mean, if you stay, this is clearly like a toxic relationship.
00:06:52.399 --> 00:07:00.639
He clearly has like um some very he he's a very passive aggressive person, you know what I mean?
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.480
And he has no respect for you.
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.680
That is my but you have to understand something about me.
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:21.839
I have a bit of um, I have no tolerance, and it's possibly um because I'm a little bit older, maybe the also the way I was raised, like I just don't have patience for things, like um, I'm also very like introverted.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.879
So if I don't like something, instead of like really telling you, I will just pull away from you.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:35.680
So that would be what I do, but that's a clear, like she was like, um, well, let's think about it, lady.
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.639
Like, no, it's just a breakup with him, okay.
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.439
This is I don't know, I don't know.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:49.199
Really, AI is gonna come kill us, like when it can't even just tell you, like, break up with a dude.
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:50.319
I don't get it.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:08:00.879
Anyway, that I was very, very disappointed in that, and I also have to say something: do not use AI as a mental health professional.
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:06.480
Please don't, because look, like, what is this answer it's giving you?
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.279
Anyway, let's try another one.
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.720
This time let's try it with Claude.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:16.959
Maybe Claude will do better, but that was honestly very disappointing.
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:27.680
And if here's the thing, here's the thing that makes me actually really makes me really sad.
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:36.399
The fact that this person, because this was posted online somewhere, the fact that this person had to go online and ask, like, should I break up with him?
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:48.240
My gosh, like, I don't know if that person has like low self-esteem or something, but gross, like what behavior that is so disrespectful, honestly.
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:56.320
Like, I would be just horrified, horrified that somebody is like symbolically like beating the shit out of you.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.600
No, anyway, okay, we're gonna try that.
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:01.200
I'm so disappointed.
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.440
I am so disappointed.
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:08.240
I I'm not expecting you to be a psychologist, but that is ridiculous.
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:10.320
Okay, huh, huh?
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:11.519
Next one.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.759
Again, I have not read any of these, so these are a complete shocker to me.
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:17.519
Alright, let's try.
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.399
Um, hello.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.759
Hey Allie, what's going on?
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.159
Hi, oh, um, wrong person.
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.080
This is Allie's wife, but hello.
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.440
Oh, hey, nice to meet you.
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.279
Anything I can help you with?
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.759
Or were you looking for something of Allie's?
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.039
Oh no, no, no.
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.080
Um, I actually have a question for you about human behavior.
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:53.120
So I'm gonna read you a story, and I want you to give me your honest opinion on why you think this person is behaving the way they do.
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:54.240
Is that okay?
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:56.879
Sure, go ahead.
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.120
I'll give you my honest read on it.
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.320
Okay, great.
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.039
So this is the first time I've read it as well.
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:04.639
Here we go.
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:10.879
Um, this one has some business implications to it, okay?
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.519
Alright, so here is the story.
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.399
I run a small marketing agency.
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:21.840
When my business partner went on parental leave last year, the team missed her a lot.
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.399
So, as a joke, one of the designers made a life-size cardboard cutout of her and put it at her desk.
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.240
It stayed there when she got back.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.240
She thought it was funny and left it up.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.159
It's been there for a year.
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:39.519
We have a full cardboard coworker named Cardboard Sarah.
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.320
Okay, hold on, hold on.
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.159
I'm not done, I'm not done, I'm not done.
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:45.200
Relax.
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:55.600
Um, we're now hiring for a new role, and we've had two candidates in a row who saw the cardboard cut out during the office tour and quietly walked out mid-interview.
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:03.919
My question is, how do we hire people who won't be alarmed by our cardboard co-worker?
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.799
What do you think of this?
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.279
Honestly, I don't think your hiring filter is broken.
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.320
I think the cutout is doing something you didn't intend.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:23.279
Inside the office, it reads as an inside joke with a year of warm history behind it.
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:31.120
To a stranger on a tour who knows none of that, a life-sized person at an empty desk is just genuinely unsettling for a second.
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:32.639
And nobody explained it.
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.960
Two people walking out isn't a screening signal, it's a briefing failure.
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:42.080
Mention it before the tour, laughing, and my guess is the problem disappears.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:12:02.480
Um, and let's say, um, this is not in the story, but my question to you would be: as an interviewee, even if somebody had told me that and it put me off because I thought the company wasn't serious, um, would it be prudent to just put the cardboard cutout away?
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.600
Honestly, yeah, I'd put her away for interviews.
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:14.240
Not because the joke is bad, but because you're asking a stranger to evaluate a year of context in about four seconds.
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:18.159
And that's a bad bet when they're deciding whether to trust you with their income.
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.000
Bring her out once someone's hired.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.320
Then it's a welcome, not a test.
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.840
Okay, that's great.
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:24.639
Thanks, Claude.
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.519
Bye-bye.
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:32.240
Okay, I'm the first time I read that.
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.320
That is truly ridiculous.
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:44.879
Okay, like it's cute because you miss this person, it's uh it's endearing, it's like, oh my gosh, you know, we want her back, and then I don't know.
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:52.320
It's I mean, it's sort of c funny for a day, but um, for a year, I think that's ridiculous.
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.120
Like, it's it's a place of business, all right.
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.759
Maybe for like a couple of days, like, oh my god, we miss you.
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:02.480
You take a picture, you send it to your coworker who's on Matt Leave, she gets a little kick out of it.
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:20.480
I wouldn't have as a business and as somebody who potentially owned this well, not potentially, but as let's say I were the business owner, I would not leave that up for a year because um it takes away from the professionalism of the of the environment.
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:37.120
Second of all, yeah, obviously, brief the interviewee, but I think the problem is the um whoever posted this, I don't know if it was the business owner, I don't know if it was like the HR person.
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:45.279
Um, I think they're very immature, and um clearly, like that is not meant for for like a business.
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:50.720
Um, you have your laugh and then you put it away and you move on and you focus on your work.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:59.759
Like, I think it's a little bit odd, quite honestly, and I don't think it should be um left for that amount of time.
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:24.799
And even if okay, let's say you're one of those like cultures, like hey, cool techie vibes, where like Google we have like bean bags everywhere, and like little think rooms and places where you can take a nap in the middle of the day because we want you to be like at your best and your freshest, even if you're one of those like cool companies, it's still not appropriate.
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:32.240
Okay, let's be honest like that's a person, and it could be seen as almost like mocking.
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:47.039
I mean, I guess if you didn't know, even if you briefed somebody on it, and um, yeah, what during an interview, you are as much interviewing the company as they are interviewing you, and you have to entrust.
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.320
I think that's one of the points that Claude got, right?
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.639
You are entrusting these people with your income.
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.639
Are they a good company?
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:59.120
Is the way that they deal with each other the way that they deal with clients?
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:04.240
Like, if they're just gonna horse around, like how are you treating your clients?
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:06.639
Um, how is business?
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.519
Like, are you making errors in judgment because you're immature?
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:12.720
I mean, I don't know.
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:40.159
I feel like Claude could have potentially like maybe gone into more of the um psychology behind it, but maybe that's more of a user problem, a me in the way that I'm asking questions, and that is why they say in the future that we're gonna have like a lot of prompt engineers and people who are really like dedicated to understanding how to ask questions to AI because how you ask it and what you put into these prompts really makes a difference in the answer you get.
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:52.320
So that one, I think the answer was sufficient, and I but I think it could have like gone a little bit like deeper into um the psychology, but that is truly ridiculous.
00:15:52.480 --> 00:16:06.159
Like, I will tell you one thing if I own that business, I don't I don't want to be, I don't want to rain on people's parade, but you have a job to do, like leave it up for a day, and that's it, you know.
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:07.679
Anyway, okay, that's me.
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.559
What do you think?
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.919
What do you think?
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.120
And do you think AI answered that appropriately?
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.399
Oh my god.
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.080
Uh alright, number three.
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.320
I don't know where I don't know, I don't I don't know where it got these things from.
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:23.840
They're interesting though.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:32.240
I mean, its ability to grab information from the internet is fantastic.
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.639
I don't think its analysis is all that great though.
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:36.080
Anyway, you tell me.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.360
So let's do another one.
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.559
Okay, this one will be chat again.
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.399
Um, alright.
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.000
Oh, hey there, chat.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.840
Um, I have another hi.
00:16:50.240 --> 00:17:02.799
I have another um story for you, and I want you to analyze the psychology of the people in this story and give me an in-depth analysis of what you think.
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.200
Okay?
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.559
I'm gonna read you the story.
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.240
This is the first time I'm reading the story.
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.119
Got it?
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.160
Got it.
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:09.039
Perfect.
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:10.640
Okay, here's the story.
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:16.480
I'm a 35-year-old woman uh with my 41-year-old boyfriend of three years.
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:25.200
I found out that he has secretly, he has been secretly eating hot dogs behind my back because I have, quote, been starving him.
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.599
Um, I didn't know I was starving him.
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:33.599
I cook every night, I make him full meals, but apparently my portions were in his words, quote, not enough for a grown man, unquote.
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.039
So for months he's been going to gas stations after.
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.039
Sorry.
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.680
Sorry, sorry, one second, one second.
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:49.440
Um, after work um and eating three to four hot dogs before he comes home to eat dinner.
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:56.160
Um, he told me this over dinner last night casually, like it was a funny anecdote.
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.200
Um uh hold on a second.
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.200
Am I overreacting to be upset?
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:02.079
End quote.
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.759
Okay, so like, um what do you think of this?
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:10.240
Hmm.
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.200
Let me think about this.
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.640
That's very interesting.
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.920
I'm curious about what the boyfriend was thinking here.
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.599
Um, I don't think it's about the hot dogs.
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:33.440
It's more you cooking for him every night, putting love into those meals, and he didn't talk to you about that.
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:39.759
He went behind your back in a way, and then framed it as you've been starving him.
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.799
And that gets suggest a few things.
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:52.319
Maybe he has trouble expressing needs directly, so he resorts to avoidance or even secrecy instead of conversation.
00:18:53.359 --> 00:19:01.680
Maybe there's some discomfort around feeling dependent on you for food or resentment about portion sizes?
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:08.960
I mean, or maybe he thought it was harmless and funny, not realizing how it lands on you.
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:11.680
I don't think you're overreacting.
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.839
The real issue isn't the hot dogs, it's the communication or lack thereof.
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.200
How do you feel about the way he told you more than what he did?
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:29.440
Oh, and by the way, this is not me personally, this is a story about somebody else.
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.640
I'm just reading it um in the first person, okay?
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.640
Um, but I will answer your question.
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:47.279
So I do believe he is not good at confrontation or conflict, and I think he was using avoidance because he didn't want to hurt this person's feelings.
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:58.720
However, um, in doing that, it creates a lot of um secrecy and in effect creates a lot of mistrust in the relationship because it had been going on for a long time.
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:04.400
And if he's willing to do that stuff behind your back, then what else is he gonna do behind your back?
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:05.920
Right.
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:14.480
So the secrecy itself can chip away a trust even if he wasn't intending harm.
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.519
Sounds like avoidance, maybe his default coping style.
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.160
But for the relationship, that can feel like dishonesty.
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:36.000
If he can't bring up something as simple as I'm still hungry, that points to a bigger pattern worth noticing.
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.839
I'd be curious what happens when you bring up how it landed on you.
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:43.920
Does he dismiss it?
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.279
Does he get defensive, or does he try to understand?
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.599
That's a very good question.
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.839
Well, uh, as I said, this story is not about me.
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.960
It is a story I am reading you in the first person about somebody else.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:00.480
But I do agree with your points.
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:01.519
Thanks very much, chat.
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.480
Bye-bye.
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:03.200
Okay.
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.240
I think that was a good analysis on it.
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:30.559
I do believe that um it was something that you know, if you're not even comfortable telling your partner, hey, like I'm still hungry after I eat, um, and instead by manipulating the situation and turning it around on her and being like, you know, it's because you don't cook meals that are big.
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:32.559
Like, she's cooking for you, okay?
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.559
She's making you food.
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:42.799
Um, it's sort of sad, I mean, and it's a grown man, it's not like some it's not a teenager.
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:53.680
Um, I feel like he was probably embarrassed when he got found out, and maybe he was just trying to save this person's feelings.
00:21:54.160 --> 00:22:08.480
But um, you know, I think I think uh it could Point to some other bigger problems in the relationship, so it's a little bit sad, but I I did like chat's interpretation on it.
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.279
Mind you, I'm sorry.
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.519
I didn't mean to laugh, but geez, it's ridiculous.
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:22.000
Like some grown man going to a gas station and eating before he comes home because he can't just be honest.
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:23.839
Sorry.
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.599
Um yeah, just just be honest.
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:35.359
Like it's and if somebody is going to get mad, then I think there are other problems to tackle.
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:36.480
You know what I mean?
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.119
Anyway, um, interesting, interesting stories.
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.079
What do you think about it?
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.640
Like, what would you do if you were in that situation?
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:44.240
Um, let's see.
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.039
So we'll do one more, and this one is with Claude.
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:55.440
This one is called Pool Push, and that'll be that'll be the last one.
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:57.039
All right, hold on a second.
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.000
Ba ba ba.
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:00.240
All right, okay.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.000
Hello?
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.039
Hey Allie, I'm here.
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.759
What's up?
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.480
Again, not Allie, it is his wife.
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:15.279
Hello.
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:18.720
Oh hi, sorry about that.
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:19.839
Nice to meet you.
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:21.359
What can I do for you?
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.880
Um, okay, yeah, hi.
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:33.759
Um, so I'm gonna read you a story, and I just want you to give me a deep psychological breakdown on all the characters in the story.
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:39.039
I have not read it, but it's about it's about bad human behavior, okay?
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.000
Sure, go ahead.
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:44.079
I'm listening whenever you're ready.
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:46.799
Okay, and one thing I want you to get straight.
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:48.880
This story is not about me.
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:53.519
I'm just reading it in the first person, but it is not about me.
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:54.720
Understood.
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.200
Understood.
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:58.559
It's not about you.
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:00.240
You're just the narrator here.
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:00.880
Correct.
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:02.160
Okay, thank you.
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.119
Okay, so I was at a family pool party.
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:12.799
My niece and nephew, ages 10 and 12, ran up behind me while I was standing at the edge of the pool and tried to shove me in as a joke.
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:16.720
I saw them coming out of the corner of my eye and I stepped aside at the last second.
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.119
They both went into the pool instead of me.
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:21.279
I was uh it was the shallow end.
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.519
My nephew hit his chin aww on the concrete edge and needed three stitches.
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:28.079
My sister and her husband are now furious with me.
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:32.960
They say I should have, quote, taken it, unquote, because they're kids and they were just playing.
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.279
Am I a jerk for jumping out of the way?
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:36.319
End quote.
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:37.200
Aw.
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:38.960
What do you think?
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.640
Ah, that's a classic AITA post.
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.599
And a good one.
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:44.720
Here's my read.
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:46.480
The narrator did nothing wrong.
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.559
Stepping out of the way isn't a choice.
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:49.599
It's a reflex.
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:54.000
Nobody stands still and lets themselves get shoved into water on principle.
00:24:54.240 --> 00:25:01.440
Expecting someone to take it is asking them to override instinct on behalf of kids who are doing something genuinely dangerous.
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:03.359
The kids aren't villains either.
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:10.480
Ten and twelve is old enough to know pushing someone into a pool can hurt them, but not old enough to have really felt that consequence yet.
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.240
They learned it the hard way.
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:14.240
The parents are the interesting ones.
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:21.039
Their kid got hurt, and instead of sitting with the fact that their own children caused it, they redirected the blame outward.
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.440
That's fear converting into anger.
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.359
Because the alternative is admitting they didn't supervise closely enough.
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:29.759
Want me to go deeper on any of them?
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:32.000
Oh, these are very, very good points.
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:56.720
Um, yes, I would like to understand how the um uh how the person that got that stepped out of the way, the ant in the situation, I want to understand why you think that she feels um such guilt over doing something that was just a natural instinct.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.480
Hmm.
00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.680
Good question.
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.880
A few things are probably running at once for her.
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:04.880
First, outcome bias.
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:12.960
She knows intellectually that stepping aside was involuntary, but she's looking at a kid with stitches, and her brain runs the counterfactual.
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:15.279
If I just stay put, he'd be fine.
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.559
Guilt attaches to the outcome, not the choice.
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:23.039
Second, she's being told she's guilty by people she loves.
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.640
Withstand accusation from family is corrosive.
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:35.680
Even a person who knows they're right starts to wonder because the social cost of being right against your whole family is higher than just accepting the blame.
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:39.680
And third, there's the adult versus child asymmetry.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.920
We carry this idea that grown-ups absorb harm, so kids don't.
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.359
She didn't absorb it.
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:50.240
So some part of her feels she failed a duty, even though the duty was never real.
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.640
Does that match what you were sensing in her?
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.440
Yes, actually, that's a very good breakdown of everything.
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:55.920
Thanks.
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:56.720
Thanks, Claude.
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.680
Goodbye.
00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.599
Okay, so we'll shut that down.
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:01.920
I think that was actually one of the best ones.
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:03.920
That was the best one out of all four.
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:08.640
So that interpretation of um just everybody in the story.
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:16.880
Um, again, I sort of rephrase the way that I asked the question, so maybe that helped get a more um a more concrete response.
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:45.680
But I do feel that, you know, the parents could have been supervising more, and um, the children played um a prank that was unsafe, and you know, the aunt was just like maybe just she didn't even realize it, and she just stepped out of the way as a reflex because you know, um, it's like that whole flight or fight situation, like your body just reacts sometimes and and you don't even think about it, so um it's really sad.
00:27:45.839 --> 00:28:05.119
But I mean, I understand as a parent you feel frustrated, sadness, grief, like when your child gets injured, and you don't like to see that, but also um children need to be need to learn, like you know, there are consequences to behaving badly.
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:14.000
Um if she stepped out of the way and you got hurt, but that prank was like not safe to begin with, you shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:21.519
So definite uh that I I really did like Claude's um interpretation of of that last story.
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:41.759
Um, mind you, it was more I feel like it was a sort of more obvious um situation than some of the other ones that that maybe we looked at, and especially a little bit lighter than the Elizabeth Holmes episode that I did in my in my last segment.
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:52.079
So I think the more complicated the behavior is, the trickier it is for AI to come out with some sort of analysis on it.
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:54.480
But uh yeah, what did you think?
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.240
What did you think of the stories?
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:58.160
Um, did you like this segment?
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:07.519
Did you which AI, chat, or Claude do you think did a better job in dissecting some of the human behavior in this?
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.680
And would you like to see another episode?
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.680
Uh let me know in the comments.
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:16.720
I appreciate everybody watching, and I will see you in the next episode.
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:18.079
Bye guys.
00:00:01.199 --> 00:00:05.360
Hello again and welcome back to Sector M31.
00:00:05.599 --> 00:00:12.000
So we are on our little series of analyzing human behavior.
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:26.640
So my first episode was all about Elizabeth Holmes and the inventor of a technology that could analyze your blood with one with one drop of blood.
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:35.920
And this one, so the second part of our series, will just be on just people's bad behavior.
00:00:36.079 --> 00:00:38.960
Just I told AI, I haven't read these stories.
00:00:39.039 --> 00:00:48.880
I told AI, I said, Claude, listen, grab me some stories online about just people doing things that sort of rub you the wrong way.
00:00:49.280 --> 00:00:57.679
And what we're gonna do is we're putting AI to the test and going to figure out can AI analyze us?
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:10.079
You know, we have this supposed crazy good technology that's going to, in some reports in the news, is gonna kill us in the next few years.
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.120
But does it really understand us to be in a position to come for us?
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:18.239
I mean, human beings are very complicated.
00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:22.400
Um, we are wired with a gut instinct.
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.319
We know when something feels dangerous, when it feels wrong.
00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.040
Um, you know, we have life experience.
00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:38.879
If you're old enough, you're really wise about certain things because of just living and existing in the world, and emotions are very complicated.
00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:51.599
Sometimes we feel a certain way, we don't understand why, and now we will put AI to the test and see if it can understand why people act the way that they act.
00:01:51.920 --> 00:01:54.640
So, like I said, I've not read these.
00:01:54.879 --> 00:02:04.400
This is just some stories that were just found on the internet about people just doing stuff.
00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:08.240
Stuff that sort of doesn't really sit well.
00:02:08.639 --> 00:02:16.000
And we're just gonna talk to AI and see what it takes.
00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:18.000
Alright.
00:02:19.439 --> 00:02:20.240
Here we go.
00:02:20.400 --> 00:02:25.039
Like I said, I have not even read any stories, so I don't know.
00:02:25.199 --> 00:02:27.039
I don't know what it's pulled for me.
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:29.520
I'm a little nervous, I'm a little nervous.
00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:33.680
So what I'm gonna do is I will read this story.
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.439
This is the first time I'm reading it.
00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:46.080
We'll read this first one to chat, and we'll see what it thinks is going on with this person.
00:02:46.319 --> 00:02:46.639
Okay.
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:51.199
Hello?
00:02:52.000 --> 00:02:54.000
Hey there, how's it going?
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.400
Oh, you know, good, good, good, good.
00:02:56.560 --> 00:03:08.159
Um, I would just like to read you a story about bad behavior, and I want you to give me um an analysis on this person.
00:03:08.400 --> 00:03:09.039
Can you do that?
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:10.400
Of course.
00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:11.120
I'm in.
00:03:11.280 --> 00:03:11.759
Go ahead.
00:03:12.000 --> 00:03:12.879
Okay, perfect.
00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:18.400
These stories I have not read myself, so um, this is a first for both of us, okay?
00:03:18.800 --> 00:03:20.400
Okay, sounds good.
00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:21.280
Go ahead.
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:22.080
All right.
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.520
Okay, scenario one.
00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:32.080
My boyfriend of three years just had a birthday.
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.479
Uh, his friends threw him a party and they got him a pinata.
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.680
A pinata shaped like me.
00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:49.759
Uh, they handed him a bat and they cheered while he took swings at a version of me hanging from a ceiling until it broke and candy fell out.
00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:50.719
Everyone laughed.
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.000
He laughed hardest.
00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:55.520
Would I be a jerk if I broke up with him over this?
00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:57.360
Hmm.
00:03:58.240 --> 00:03:58.719
Wow.
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:00.719
Yeah, I can analyze this.
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:05.120
And since you haven't heard this before, let me give you a straight take.
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:08.479
If I were you, I'd be pretty disturbed.
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:15.039
He didn't just tolerate it, he fully participated and he laughed the hardest.
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:23.279
That really signals something about his boundaries and his empathy or well, lack of it.
00:04:23.839 --> 00:04:33.360
It's not about some universal rule that says you must break up over this, but it is totally valid if it makes you feel deeply uncomfortable.
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:34.959
So keep going.
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:36.720
Tell me what happens next.
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.000
Um, I am just curious.
00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:44.240
If that were your boyfriend, would you break up with him?
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:47.759
Hang on.
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:48.800
Yeah.
00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:52.959
If I were you, I think I would.
00:04:53.439 --> 00:05:07.759
Not because a pinata equals abuse, but because his enthusiastic participation shows us something about how he sees you and the detail that he laughed hardest, that would stick with me.
00:05:08.079 --> 00:05:18.079
I'd want to know what he finds funny about that and whether he gets why that might feel awful for you.
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:24.560
And um, what do you think about his friend's behavior?
00:05:24.720 --> 00:05:34.079
I mean, what can you um definitively say about his friends checking?
00:05:34.959 --> 00:05:42.639
Yeah, less we can say definitively about them than about him, because we don't know their intentions.
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:54.240
What we can say is they chose to make you the target of a joke that involves violence, even if symbolic, and they seemed comfortable doing that in front of your boyfriend.
00:05:54.879 --> 00:06:04.800
That suggests either insensitivity or a willingness to cross boundaries for loves, but we can't honestly conclude deeper hostility from that alone.
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:05.920
Okay, that's great.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:06.720
Thank you, chat.
00:06:06.879 --> 00:06:07.680
Bye-bye.
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:09.439
Okay.
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:12.079
Um, that was a little alarming.
00:06:12.240 --> 00:06:14.160
Um, yeah, you break up with him.
00:06:14.319 --> 00:06:15.439
That's insane.
00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:22.240
Somebody makes a pinata that looks like you, and okay, first of all, the friends.
00:06:22.480 --> 00:06:25.199
You know that old saying, you are who you hang with.
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.519
Like, that is very alarming.
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:30.480
Number one.
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:31.439
Number one.
00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:35.680
Number two is that that was okay with him.
00:06:35.920 --> 00:06:38.319
He was like, Oh, this is great, ha ha ha.
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:42.000
And he went on to hit the pinata.
00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.800
Like, it's it's a very symbolic, so that is a hundred percent breakup.
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:52.240
Like, I I mean, if you stay, this is clearly like a toxic relationship.
00:06:52.399 --> 00:07:00.639
He clearly has like um some very he he's a very passive aggressive person, you know what I mean?
00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.480
And he has no respect for you.
00:07:02.720 --> 00:07:05.680
That is my but you have to understand something about me.
00:07:05.839 --> 00:07:21.839
I have a bit of um, I have no tolerance, and it's possibly um because I'm a little bit older, maybe the also the way I was raised, like I just don't have patience for things, like um, I'm also very like introverted.
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:26.879
So if I don't like something, instead of like really telling you, I will just pull away from you.
00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:35.680
So that would be what I do, but that's a clear, like she was like, um, well, let's think about it, lady.
00:07:35.920 --> 00:07:40.639
Like, no, it's just a breakup with him, okay.
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.439
This is I don't know, I don't know.
00:07:43.600 --> 00:07:49.199
Really, AI is gonna come kill us, like when it can't even just tell you, like, break up with a dude.
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:50.319
I don't get it.
00:07:50.480 --> 00:08:00.879
Anyway, that I was very, very disappointed in that, and I also have to say something: do not use AI as a mental health professional.
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:06.480
Please don't, because look, like, what is this answer it's giving you?
00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:11.279
Anyway, let's try another one.
00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:12.720
This time let's try it with Claude.
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:16.959
Maybe Claude will do better, but that was honestly very disappointing.
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:27.680
And if here's the thing, here's the thing that makes me actually really makes me really sad.
00:08:28.000 --> 00:08:36.399
The fact that this person, because this was posted online somewhere, the fact that this person had to go online and ask, like, should I break up with him?
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:48.240
My gosh, like, I don't know if that person has like low self-esteem or something, but gross, like what behavior that is so disrespectful, honestly.
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:56.320
Like, I would be just horrified, horrified that somebody is like symbolically like beating the shit out of you.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:59.600
No, anyway, okay, we're gonna try that.
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:01.200
I'm so disappointed.
00:09:01.360 --> 00:09:03.440
I am so disappointed.
00:09:03.759 --> 00:09:08.240
I I'm not expecting you to be a psychologist, but that is ridiculous.
00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:10.320
Okay, huh, huh?
00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:11.519
Next one.
00:09:11.759 --> 00:09:15.759
Again, I have not read any of these, so these are a complete shocker to me.
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:17.519
Alright, let's try.
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:24.399
Um, hello.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:27.759
Hey Allie, what's going on?
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:30.159
Hi, oh, um, wrong person.
00:09:30.240 --> 00:09:32.080
This is Allie's wife, but hello.
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:35.440
Oh, hey, nice to meet you.
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:37.279
Anything I can help you with?
00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:39.759
Or were you looking for something of Allie's?
00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.039
Oh no, no, no.
00:09:41.120 --> 00:09:44.080
Um, I actually have a question for you about human behavior.
00:09:44.159 --> 00:09:53.120
So I'm gonna read you a story, and I want you to give me your honest opinion on why you think this person is behaving the way they do.
00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:54.240
Is that okay?
00:09:55.919 --> 00:09:56.879
Sure, go ahead.
00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.120
I'll give you my honest read on it.
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:00.320
Okay, great.
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.039
So this is the first time I've read it as well.
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:04.639
Here we go.
00:10:04.960 --> 00:10:10.879
Um, this one has some business implications to it, okay?
00:10:11.200 --> 00:10:13.519
Alright, so here is the story.
00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:16.399
I run a small marketing agency.
00:10:16.639 --> 00:10:21.840
When my business partner went on parental leave last year, the team missed her a lot.
00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:28.399
So, as a joke, one of the designers made a life-size cardboard cutout of her and put it at her desk.
00:10:28.559 --> 00:10:30.240
It stayed there when she got back.
00:10:30.399 --> 00:10:32.240
She thought it was funny and left it up.
00:10:32.399 --> 00:10:34.159
It's been there for a year.
00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:39.519
We have a full cardboard coworker named Cardboard Sarah.
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.320
Okay, hold on, hold on.
00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.159
I'm not done, I'm not done, I'm not done.
00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:45.200
Relax.
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:55.600
Um, we're now hiring for a new role, and we've had two candidates in a row who saw the cardboard cut out during the office tour and quietly walked out mid-interview.
00:10:56.080 --> 00:11:03.919
My question is, how do we hire people who won't be alarmed by our cardboard co-worker?
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.799
What do you think of this?
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:15.279
Honestly, I don't think your hiring filter is broken.
00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.320
I think the cutout is doing something you didn't intend.
00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:23.279
Inside the office, it reads as an inside joke with a year of warm history behind it.
00:11:23.519 --> 00:11:31.120
To a stranger on a tour who knows none of that, a life-sized person at an empty desk is just genuinely unsettling for a second.
00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:32.639
And nobody explained it.
00:11:32.879 --> 00:11:36.960
Two people walking out isn't a screening signal, it's a briefing failure.
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:42.080
Mention it before the tour, laughing, and my guess is the problem disappears.
00:11:43.039 --> 00:12:02.480
Um, and let's say, um, this is not in the story, but my question to you would be: as an interviewee, even if somebody had told me that and it put me off because I thought the company wasn't serious, um, would it be prudent to just put the cardboard cutout away?
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.600
Honestly, yeah, I'd put her away for interviews.
00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:14.240
Not because the joke is bad, but because you're asking a stranger to evaluate a year of context in about four seconds.
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:18.159
And that's a bad bet when they're deciding whether to trust you with their income.
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:20.000
Bring her out once someone's hired.
00:12:20.159 --> 00:12:22.320
Then it's a welcome, not a test.
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:23.840
Okay, that's great.
00:12:23.919 --> 00:12:24.639
Thanks, Claude.
00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:25.519
Bye-bye.
00:12:27.919 --> 00:12:32.240
Okay, I'm the first time I read that.
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.320
That is truly ridiculous.
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:44.879
Okay, like it's cute because you miss this person, it's uh it's endearing, it's like, oh my gosh, you know, we want her back, and then I don't know.
00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:52.320
It's I mean, it's sort of c funny for a day, but um, for a year, I think that's ridiculous.
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:55.120
Like, it's it's a place of business, all right.
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.759
Maybe for like a couple of days, like, oh my god, we miss you.
00:12:57.919 --> 00:13:02.480
You take a picture, you send it to your coworker who's on Matt Leave, she gets a little kick out of it.
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:20.480
I wouldn't have as a business and as somebody who potentially owned this well, not potentially, but as let's say I were the business owner, I would not leave that up for a year because um it takes away from the professionalism of the of the environment.
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:37.120
Second of all, yeah, obviously, brief the interviewee, but I think the problem is the um whoever posted this, I don't know if it was the business owner, I don't know if it was like the HR person.
00:13:37.440 --> 00:13:45.279
Um, I think they're very immature, and um clearly, like that is not meant for for like a business.
00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:50.720
Um, you have your laugh and then you put it away and you move on and you focus on your work.
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:59.759
Like, I think it's a little bit odd, quite honestly, and I don't think it should be um left for that amount of time.
00:14:00.080 --> 00:14:24.799
And even if okay, let's say you're one of those like cultures, like hey, cool techie vibes, where like Google we have like bean bags everywhere, and like little think rooms and places where you can take a nap in the middle of the day because we want you to be like at your best and your freshest, even if you're one of those like cool companies, it's still not appropriate.
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:32.240
Okay, let's be honest like that's a person, and it could be seen as almost like mocking.
00:14:32.559 --> 00:14:47.039
I mean, I guess if you didn't know, even if you briefed somebody on it, and um, yeah, what during an interview, you are as much interviewing the company as they are interviewing you, and you have to entrust.
00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:50.320
I think that's one of the points that Claude got, right?
00:14:50.399 --> 00:14:52.639
You are entrusting these people with your income.
00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:54.639
Are they a good company?
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:59.120
Is the way that they deal with each other the way that they deal with clients?
00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:04.240
Like, if they're just gonna horse around, like how are you treating your clients?
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:06.639
Um, how is business?
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.519
Like, are you making errors in judgment because you're immature?
00:15:11.679 --> 00:15:12.720
I mean, I don't know.
00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:40.159
I feel like Claude could have potentially like maybe gone into more of the um psychology behind it, but maybe that's more of a user problem, a me in the way that I'm asking questions, and that is why they say in the future that we're gonna have like a lot of prompt engineers and people who are really like dedicated to understanding how to ask questions to AI because how you ask it and what you put into these prompts really makes a difference in the answer you get.
00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:52.320
So that one, I think the answer was sufficient, and I but I think it could have like gone a little bit like deeper into um the psychology, but that is truly ridiculous.
00:15:52.480 --> 00:16:06.159
Like, I will tell you one thing if I own that business, I don't I don't want to be, I don't want to rain on people's parade, but you have a job to do, like leave it up for a day, and that's it, you know.
00:16:06.320 --> 00:16:07.679
Anyway, okay, that's me.
00:16:07.840 --> 00:16:08.559
What do you think?
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:09.919
What do you think?
00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:13.120
And do you think AI answered that appropriately?
00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:14.399
Oh my god.
00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.080
Uh alright, number three.
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.320
I don't know where I don't know, I don't I don't know where it got these things from.
00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:23.840
They're interesting though.
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:32.240
I mean, its ability to grab information from the internet is fantastic.
00:16:32.399 --> 00:16:34.639
I don't think its analysis is all that great though.
00:16:34.799 --> 00:16:36.080
Anyway, you tell me.
00:16:36.399 --> 00:16:39.360
So let's do another one.
00:16:39.600 --> 00:16:42.559
Okay, this one will be chat again.
00:16:42.799 --> 00:16:44.399
Um, alright.
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:48.000
Oh, hey there, chat.
00:16:48.080 --> 00:16:49.840
Um, I have another hi.
00:16:50.240 --> 00:17:02.799
I have another um story for you, and I want you to analyze the psychology of the people in this story and give me an in-depth analysis of what you think.
00:17:02.960 --> 00:17:03.200
Okay?
00:17:03.360 --> 00:17:04.559
I'm gonna read you the story.
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:06.240
This is the first time I'm reading the story.
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:07.119
Got it?
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:08.160
Got it.
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:09.039
Perfect.
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:10.640
Okay, here's the story.
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:16.480
I'm a 35-year-old woman uh with my 41-year-old boyfriend of three years.
00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:25.200
I found out that he has secretly, he has been secretly eating hot dogs behind my back because I have, quote, been starving him.
00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:27.599
Um, I didn't know I was starving him.
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:33.599
I cook every night, I make him full meals, but apparently my portions were in his words, quote, not enough for a grown man, unquote.
00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:37.039
So for months he's been going to gas stations after.
00:17:38.319 --> 00:17:39.039
Sorry.
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.680
Sorry, sorry, one second, one second.
00:17:41.839 --> 00:17:49.440
Um, after work um and eating three to four hot dogs before he comes home to eat dinner.
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:56.160
Um, he told me this over dinner last night casually, like it was a funny anecdote.
00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.200
Um uh hold on a second.
00:17:59.359 --> 00:18:01.200
Am I overreacting to be upset?
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:02.079
End quote.
00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:07.759
Okay, so like, um what do you think of this?
00:18:09.599 --> 00:18:10.240
Hmm.
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.200
Let me think about this.
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:16.640
That's very interesting.
00:18:17.119 --> 00:18:21.920
I'm curious about what the boyfriend was thinking here.
00:18:22.319 --> 00:18:25.599
Um, I don't think it's about the hot dogs.
00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:33.440
It's more you cooking for him every night, putting love into those meals, and he didn't talk to you about that.
00:18:33.599 --> 00:18:39.759
He went behind your back in a way, and then framed it as you've been starving him.
00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:42.799
And that gets suggest a few things.
00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:52.319
Maybe he has trouble expressing needs directly, so he resorts to avoidance or even secrecy instead of conversation.
00:18:53.359 --> 00:19:01.680
Maybe there's some discomfort around feeling dependent on you for food or resentment about portion sizes?
00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:08.960
I mean, or maybe he thought it was harmless and funny, not realizing how it lands on you.
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:11.680
I don't think you're overreacting.
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:17.839
The real issue isn't the hot dogs, it's the communication or lack thereof.
00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:23.200
How do you feel about the way he told you more than what he did?
00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:29.440
Oh, and by the way, this is not me personally, this is a story about somebody else.
00:19:29.599 --> 00:19:32.640
I'm just reading it um in the first person, okay?
00:19:32.880 --> 00:19:34.640
Um, but I will answer your question.
00:19:34.799 --> 00:19:47.279
So I do believe he is not good at confrontation or conflict, and I think he was using avoidance because he didn't want to hurt this person's feelings.
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:58.720
However, um, in doing that, it creates a lot of um secrecy and in effect creates a lot of mistrust in the relationship because it had been going on for a long time.
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:04.400
And if he's willing to do that stuff behind your back, then what else is he gonna do behind your back?
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:05.920
Right.
00:20:06.400 --> 00:20:14.480
So the secrecy itself can chip away a trust even if he wasn't intending harm.
00:20:14.799 --> 00:20:19.519
Sounds like avoidance, maybe his default coping style.
00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:24.160
But for the relationship, that can feel like dishonesty.
00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:36.000
If he can't bring up something as simple as I'm still hungry, that points to a bigger pattern worth noticing.
00:20:36.559 --> 00:20:41.839
I'd be curious what happens when you bring up how it landed on you.
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:43.920
Does he dismiss it?
00:20:44.160 --> 00:20:47.279
Does he get defensive, or does he try to understand?
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.599
That's a very good question.
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.839
Well, uh, as I said, this story is not about me.
00:20:54.000 --> 00:20:58.960
It is a story I am reading you in the first person about somebody else.
00:20:59.119 --> 00:21:00.480
But I do agree with your points.
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:01.519
Thanks very much, chat.
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.480
Bye-bye.
00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:03.200
Okay.
00:21:03.920 --> 00:21:06.240
I think that was a good analysis on it.
00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:30.559
I do believe that um it was something that you know, if you're not even comfortable telling your partner, hey, like I'm still hungry after I eat, um, and instead by manipulating the situation and turning it around on her and being like, you know, it's because you don't cook meals that are big.
00:21:30.799 --> 00:21:32.559
Like, she's cooking for you, okay?
00:21:32.799 --> 00:21:34.559
She's making you food.
00:21:34.880 --> 00:21:42.799
Um, it's sort of sad, I mean, and it's a grown man, it's not like some it's not a teenager.
00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:53.680
Um, I feel like he was probably embarrassed when he got found out, and maybe he was just trying to save this person's feelings.
00:21:54.160 --> 00:22:08.480
But um, you know, I think I think uh it could Point to some other bigger problems in the relationship, so it's a little bit sad, but I I did like chat's interpretation on it.
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.279
Mind you, I'm sorry.
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:15.519
I didn't mean to laugh, but geez, it's ridiculous.
00:22:15.759 --> 00:22:22.000
Like some grown man going to a gas station and eating before he comes home because he can't just be honest.
00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:23.839
Sorry.
00:22:24.240 --> 00:22:27.599
Um yeah, just just be honest.
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:35.359
Like it's and if somebody is going to get mad, then I think there are other problems to tackle.
00:22:35.519 --> 00:22:36.480
You know what I mean?
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:39.119
Anyway, um, interesting, interesting stories.
00:22:39.200 --> 00:22:40.079
What do you think about it?
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.640
Like, what would you do if you were in that situation?
00:22:42.880 --> 00:22:44.240
Um, let's see.
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:47.039
So we'll do one more, and this one is with Claude.
00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:55.440
This one is called Pool Push, and that'll be that'll be the last one.
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:57.039
All right, hold on a second.
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.000
Ba ba ba.
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:00.240
All right, okay.
00:23:07.359 --> 00:23:08.000
Hello?
00:23:09.519 --> 00:23:11.039
Hey Allie, I'm here.
00:23:11.279 --> 00:23:11.759
What's up?
00:23:12.319 --> 00:23:14.480
Again, not Allie, it is his wife.
00:23:14.640 --> 00:23:15.279
Hello.
00:23:16.880 --> 00:23:18.720
Oh hi, sorry about that.
00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:19.839
Nice to meet you.
00:23:20.079 --> 00:23:21.359
What can I do for you?
00:23:21.759 --> 00:23:22.880
Um, okay, yeah, hi.
00:23:22.960 --> 00:23:33.759
Um, so I'm gonna read you a story, and I just want you to give me a deep psychological breakdown on all the characters in the story.
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:39.039
I have not read it, but it's about it's about bad human behavior, okay?
00:23:40.720 --> 00:23:42.000
Sure, go ahead.
00:23:42.400 --> 00:23:44.079
I'm listening whenever you're ready.
00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:46.799
Okay, and one thing I want you to get straight.
00:23:46.960 --> 00:23:48.880
This story is not about me.
00:23:49.039 --> 00:23:53.519
I'm just reading it in the first person, but it is not about me.
00:23:53.680 --> 00:23:54.720
Understood.
00:23:56.400 --> 00:23:57.200
Understood.
00:23:57.359 --> 00:23:58.559
It's not about you.
00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:00.240
You're just the narrator here.
00:24:00.480 --> 00:24:00.880
Correct.
00:24:01.599 --> 00:24:02.160
Okay, thank you.
00:24:02.319 --> 00:24:05.119
Okay, so I was at a family pool party.
00:24:05.279 --> 00:24:12.799
My niece and nephew, ages 10 and 12, ran up behind me while I was standing at the edge of the pool and tried to shove me in as a joke.
00:24:12.960 --> 00:24:16.720
I saw them coming out of the corner of my eye and I stepped aside at the last second.
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.119
They both went into the pool instead of me.
00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:21.279
I was uh it was the shallow end.
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.519
My nephew hit his chin aww on the concrete edge and needed three stitches.
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:28.079
My sister and her husband are now furious with me.
00:24:28.240 --> 00:24:32.960
They say I should have, quote, taken it, unquote, because they're kids and they were just playing.
00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:35.279
Am I a jerk for jumping out of the way?
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:36.319
End quote.
00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:37.200
Aw.
00:24:37.759 --> 00:24:38.960
What do you think?
00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.640
Ah, that's a classic AITA post.
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:43.599
And a good one.
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:44.720
Here's my read.
00:24:44.880 --> 00:24:46.480
The narrator did nothing wrong.
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.559
Stepping out of the way isn't a choice.
00:24:48.640 --> 00:24:49.599
It's a reflex.
00:24:49.920 --> 00:24:54.000
Nobody stands still and lets themselves get shoved into water on principle.
00:24:54.240 --> 00:25:01.440
Expecting someone to take it is asking them to override instinct on behalf of kids who are doing something genuinely dangerous.
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:03.359
The kids aren't villains either.
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:10.480
Ten and twelve is old enough to know pushing someone into a pool can hurt them, but not old enough to have really felt that consequence yet.
00:25:10.720 --> 00:25:12.240
They learned it the hard way.
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:14.240
The parents are the interesting ones.
00:25:14.400 --> 00:25:21.039
Their kid got hurt, and instead of sitting with the fact that their own children caused it, they redirected the blame outward.
00:25:21.200 --> 00:25:23.440
That's fear converting into anger.
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.359
Because the alternative is admitting they didn't supervise closely enough.
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:29.759
Want me to go deeper on any of them?
00:25:30.079 --> 00:25:32.000
Oh, these are very, very good points.
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:56.720
Um, yes, I would like to understand how the um uh how the person that got that stepped out of the way, the ant in the situation, I want to understand why you think that she feels um such guilt over doing something that was just a natural instinct.
00:25:58.000 --> 00:25:58.480
Hmm.
00:25:58.720 --> 00:25:59.680
Good question.
00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:02.880
A few things are probably running at once for her.
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:04.880
First, outcome bias.
00:26:05.039 --> 00:26:12.960
She knows intellectually that stepping aside was involuntary, but she's looking at a kid with stitches, and her brain runs the counterfactual.
00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:15.279
If I just stay put, he'd be fine.
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.559
Guilt attaches to the outcome, not the choice.
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:23.039
Second, she's being told she's guilty by people she loves.
00:26:23.599 --> 00:26:26.640
Withstand accusation from family is corrosive.
00:26:27.119 --> 00:26:35.680
Even a person who knows they're right starts to wonder because the social cost of being right against your whole family is higher than just accepting the blame.
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:39.680
And third, there's the adult versus child asymmetry.
00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:43.920
We carry this idea that grown-ups absorb harm, so kids don't.
00:26:44.079 --> 00:26:45.359
She didn't absorb it.
00:26:45.519 --> 00:26:50.240
So some part of her feels she failed a duty, even though the duty was never real.
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.640
Does that match what you were sensing in her?
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.440
Yes, actually, that's a very good breakdown of everything.
00:26:55.599 --> 00:26:55.920
Thanks.
00:26:56.000 --> 00:26:56.720
Thanks, Claude.
00:26:56.799 --> 00:26:57.680
Goodbye.
00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.599
Okay, so we'll shut that down.
00:26:59.759 --> 00:27:01.920
I think that was actually one of the best ones.
00:27:02.079 --> 00:27:03.920
That was the best one out of all four.
00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:08.640
So that interpretation of um just everybody in the story.
00:27:08.720 --> 00:27:16.880
Um, again, I sort of rephrase the way that I asked the question, so maybe that helped get a more um a more concrete response.
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:45.680
But I do feel that, you know, the parents could have been supervising more, and um, the children played um a prank that was unsafe, and you know, the aunt was just like maybe just she didn't even realize it, and she just stepped out of the way as a reflex because you know, um, it's like that whole flight or fight situation, like your body just reacts sometimes and and you don't even think about it, so um it's really sad.
00:27:45.839 --> 00:28:05.119
But I mean, I understand as a parent you feel frustrated, sadness, grief, like when your child gets injured, and you don't like to see that, but also um children need to be need to learn, like you know, there are consequences to behaving badly.
00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:14.000
Um if she stepped out of the way and you got hurt, but that prank was like not safe to begin with, you shouldn't have been doing it in the first place.
00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:21.519
So definite uh that I I really did like Claude's um interpretation of of that last story.
00:28:21.680 --> 00:28:41.759
Um, mind you, it was more I feel like it was a sort of more obvious um situation than some of the other ones that that maybe we looked at, and especially a little bit lighter than the Elizabeth Holmes episode that I did in my in my last segment.
00:28:41.920 --> 00:28:52.079
So I think the more complicated the behavior is, the trickier it is for AI to come out with some sort of analysis on it.
00:28:52.559 --> 00:28:54.480
But uh yeah, what did you think?
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.240
What did you think of the stories?
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:58.160
Um, did you like this segment?
00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:07.519
Did you which AI, chat, or Claude do you think did a better job in dissecting some of the human behavior in this?
00:29:07.599 --> 00:29:09.680
And would you like to see another episode?
00:29:09.839 --> 00:29:11.680
Uh let me know in the comments.
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:16.720
I appreciate everybody watching, and I will see you in the next episode.
00:29:16.960 --> 00:29:18.079
Bye guys.
