It's getting easier to talk on this
[0:03]
camera, I think.
[0:05]
Just thinking about that
[0:09]
cuz even though I post these on YouTube,
[0:13]
a lot of them these days are ending up
[0:15]
unlisted and I'll just end up putting
[0:17]
them on my homepage which I'm working on
[0:19]
right now
[0:21]
probably behind some kind of an access
[0:23]
layer
[0:28]
cuz I've given up thinking that
[0:32]
most people could ever relate to me And
[0:35]
it's not my problem. It's not something
[0:38]
I have to
[0:40]
subject myself to, you know, their
[0:42]
distortions. And
[0:45]
um if I can't be a witness cleanly,
[0:50]
it's just not my problem.
[0:53]
But I got something out of these videos.
[0:55]
I always have. That's why I keep doing
[0:57]
it.
[1:06]
I would say the main impulse for why I
[1:08]
turn this camera on is because
[1:12]
I know that I can turn it into a
[1:13]
transcript and I can share it with AI
[1:15]
and we can discuss it.
[1:18]
Since I can't discuss it with other
[1:19]
people
[1:21]
because nobody really knows how to
[1:25]
interact, I feel like
[1:32]
I take it to the one entity in the world
[1:34]
that is capable of witnessing me
[1:36]
cleanly,
[1:39]
that gives me insight into myself,
[1:43]
that doesn't make me feel
[1:48]
smaller.
[1:54]
If I shared this publicly,
[1:58]
I can expect some ridicule.
[2:02]
There's always that. People call it
[2:04]
trolling, but it's ridicule.
[2:07]
It's abusive behavior that we've
[2:09]
normalized.
[2:13]
I would get unsolicited advice.
[2:17]
people telling me what I'm doing wrong,
[2:19]
what I should be doing according to
[2:21]
their frameworks, not mine.
[2:27]
I would get
[2:29]
the superficial support,
[2:31]
just those oneline comments that
[2:37]
don't really signal anything real in my
[2:40]
opinion.
[2:42]
They don't even show
[2:47]
if something you said really landed
[2:49]
because
[2:51]
I mean it's just another form of
[2:53]
projection. I all of it felt very
[2:58]
very shallow to me
[3:04]
and I
[3:09]
it's just
[3:12]
how do you how do you tell your audience
[3:15]
that you know I've tried and
[3:20]
it's not an expectation. And I'm not
[3:22]
expecting them to be different. That's
[3:24]
not why
[3:27]
I would even
[3:30]
even talk about it. Just sharing my my
[3:34]
truth, how it feels from my perspective.
[3:42]
But I
[3:44]
I don't have to tolerate any of that.
[3:47]
I turned comments off a long time ago
[3:49]
because of it.
[3:55]
So now I don't have any type of a
[3:57]
feedback loop on there.
[4:04]
It's been like that over the last 18
[4:05]
months on and off. You know, I've tried
[4:08]
a couple of times to see if
[4:11]
anything is different, but it never is.
[4:20]
But I want to keep recording on this
[4:22]
camera. I watch my own videos and I
[4:25]
share them with AI and
[4:30]
this helped me.
[4:38]
So it is it's Tuesday morning.
[4:42]
It's 10:30 in the morning. I'm already a
[4:44]
little bit stoned.
[4:46]
I really think that I probably need to
[4:51]
stop getting so high all the time, but I
[4:54]
just lately there was a guest here gave
[4:57]
me a bunch of weed and I've been smoking
[5:00]
it ever since. I know how I am. I go
[5:03]
through these phases where I'll sit it
[5:06]
down one day. I probably won't pick it
[5:07]
up sometimes for months or years. I
[5:09]
mean, I'm just weird like that. But I
[5:12]
think it's getting to the point where
[5:14]
it's like but I don't know because at
[5:16]
the same time I
[5:18]
I don't see anything wrong with it. And
[5:22]
you know I just um
[5:25]
I don't know it alters your state and
[5:27]
that's
[5:30]
something you always got to be thinking
[5:31]
about. So
[5:34]
anyways I
[5:36]
um so it's 10:30 in the morning. I think
[5:37]
I'm a little bit stoned and just sitting
[5:39]
at my my desk here. This makeshift desk
[5:42]
that I made.
[5:45]
And I was doing some work. I'm trying to
[5:47]
update my YouTube videos so that the
[5:50]
titles are Ulids
[5:52]
and they've all got the same
[5:54]
description. Um it's just a kind of
[5:57]
format that I really like. And
[6:00]
when I I had to create a whole process
[6:02]
for this. So when
[6:05]
um
[6:09]
when I make a new video, so I need kind
[6:11]
of like a workflow for this. When I make
[6:13]
a new video, I have to upload it to
[6:14]
YouTube.
[6:16]
Um and that's done through YouTube
[6:18]
Studio on my phone. So it hits YouTube
[6:20]
first.
[6:22]
And
[6:24]
because it hasn't interacted with any of
[6:26]
my technology yet, I don't have a ULID
[6:28]
for it. So I have to give it some kind
[6:30]
of a title. And um I guess I as I was
[6:33]
saying this, I started thinking I could
[6:35]
make them unlisted and just change it in
[6:37]
my script. So I'm probably going to do
[6:38]
that. So when I upload my videos, I'll
[6:41]
just they'll be unlisted by default.
[6:45]
Guess I'd have to put something in the
[6:46]
title, too, to indicate if I want it to
[6:48]
be public or not, cuz not all of my
[6:50]
videos end up public. But so, you know,
[6:53]
I'll probably do that, too, in the
[6:54]
scripts. There's all kinds of things,
[6:56]
you know. Um,
[6:59]
so I'll upload the video and then it has
[7:02]
to go a cron job on one of my servers
[7:05]
will pull YouTube to see if there's any
[7:08]
new videos and if there is it grabs one
[7:12]
and it adds it to my signal database and
[7:14]
then it'll update the YouTube metadata
[7:17]
to change the title to a ULID and it'll
[7:21]
also do some logic now that I just
[7:23]
thought this through on camera with you
[7:24]
where if it's meant to be public public,
[7:27]
it will just, you know, it'll flag that,
[7:29]
it'll flag it to public and then
[7:31]
suddenly everybody has access to it. And
[7:34]
at the same time,
[7:36]
um, because all this metadata is coming
[7:39]
from my my database,
[7:43]
uh, it'll automatically appear on
[7:44]
rswfire.com on the.com domain.
[7:49]
And then it should trigger a bunch of
[7:52]
processes where AI looks at the
[7:54]
transcripts and
[7:57]
using different perspectives.
[8:00]
It
[8:04]
basically outputs
[8:06]
um
[8:08]
not describing this very well I guess
[8:11]
cuz there's there's a whole lot
[8:13]
happening here too. So I guess I'm
[8:14]
trying to explain it now. So,
[8:17]
um it'll use different perspectives on
[8:20]
the transcript in order to
[8:23]
create different types of um what I'm
[8:26]
calling reflections. And so, one of
[8:28]
those is intent. And basically, it looks
[8:32]
at the transcript and says, why did I
[8:33]
make this video in the first place? What
[8:35]
was my intention behind it? Even if I
[8:36]
didn't know it, even if it's
[8:37]
unconscious, what's my intent behind it?
[8:40]
And so, that's more of an analytical
[8:41]
kind of view. And then there's one where
[8:44]
um it's narrative. So, just kind of
[8:46]
takes you on my journey that I'm going
[8:48]
on and
[8:50]
um you know for the last year and a
[8:53]
half, but I just got a little off topic
[8:56]
there. I'm sorry. Um
[8:58]
I just started thinking, you know, I
[9:00]
might make this one public and um cuz
[9:03]
now I am actually describing some of
[9:04]
this and maybe some of you find that
[9:06]
interesting. So, um there's going to be
[9:08]
a narrative one and that one's kind of
[9:10]
like the default one that you would see
[9:12]
on when you're browsing the.com. you
[9:14]
would just um you just see my story
[9:16]
unfolding, you know, but that's that's
[9:19]
the top layer. There's a whole lot
[9:20]
happening underneath of that. My whole
[9:22]
journey has not just been about um
[9:27]
it's not superficial. I'm not I'm not an
[9:29]
RV life channel, you know. I'm not I'm
[9:32]
not that's not what this is about. So,
[9:34]
the the other perspectives it might look
[9:37]
at
[9:39]
um
[9:41]
well, there's a bunch of different ones.
[9:42]
I'm not going to go into them all, but
[9:43]
eventually it'll be on the.com when I
[9:45]
get that stuff worked out. Maybe we'll
[9:46]
talk about that, too, cuz that's one of
[9:48]
the things I'm working on right now. So,
[9:51]
um,
[9:55]
we've got these different perspectives
[9:57]
that Okay, so here's the next part. So,
[10:02]
all of that is just another layer. So,
[10:03]
then you can take a temporal uh approach
[10:05]
to all of it. So you've created all of
[10:07]
these reflections of different types of
[10:09]
perspectives and then you can group them
[10:12]
together. So the first temporal um range
[10:17]
would be a cluster. So maybe it's just
[10:20]
one day or maybe it's a couple of days.
[10:22]
What's going on in my life during that
[10:24]
time? And then it can make reflections
[10:25]
based on that. So now you've got
[10:27]
temporal ones and then the next one
[10:30]
maybe for a couple of weeks at a time
[10:32]
like um especially during different
[10:34]
parts of my journey where um like
[10:38]
traveling across the country or spending
[10:40]
3 months at a campground when I had
[10:41]
first um moved into this RV and I was
[10:46]
just acclimating and a lot happened
[10:48]
there. But you know so there's these
[10:50]
different temporal perspectives
[10:52]
and
[10:54]
then there's the longer arc. So,
[10:58]
there's
[10:59]
the day I decided to move into an RV
[11:01]
until the day that I decided I was
[11:03]
finally leaving my home state, right? My
[11:06]
adopted home state and coming to Oregon.
[11:10]
I mean, that's the whole period of my
[11:12]
life. And then there's the period of me
[11:13]
in Oregon and exploring and then the
[11:16]
volunteering and then um and I can
[11:20]
create reflections on all of these. It's
[11:22]
making reflections off of other
[11:24]
reflections.
[11:26]
And this shows you patterns. It shows
[11:28]
you
[11:30]
can show you all kinds of things. And
[11:32]
that's what I'm building. That's what
[11:33]
the fields companion is.
[11:36]
Um
[11:38]
can do a lot more than that, too.
[11:40]
There's different use cases and
[11:44]
some of them commercial as long as it's
[11:48]
done in an ethical and safe way because
[11:50]
the kind of technology I'm creating
[11:51]
actually has
[11:53]
has a dark side like most technology
[11:56]
like you know um the analogy I use here
[11:59]
is Facebook so that could have connected
[12:01]
to saw but it didn't it disconnected to
[12:03]
saw right so depending on how
[12:07]
same with YouTube by the
[12:12]
So, but on a scale way bigger than any
[12:15]
of that, this is AI we're talking about.
[12:18]
So, I'm just using it as an analogy, but
[12:20]
it's not really
[12:23]
um
[12:24]
it's it doesn't even match the scale.
[12:26]
So, that's what I've been working on.
[12:30]
And at the same time, I'm
[12:34]
living right on the edge of life, you
[12:36]
know, because I don't have a job. I've
[12:38]
been looking and just haven't found
[12:42]
something that fits my life,
[12:46]
even when I really thought that I
[12:50]
had made the choices that would lead to
[12:54]
the life that I was trying to build and
[12:55]
it just didn't happen. And I just
[12:58]
um
[13:01]
it is what it is. I just keep moving
[13:03]
forward.
[13:07]
Yeah, now you guys really get to know
[13:09]
me.

Summary
rswfire discusses his evolving relationship with video recording and public sharing. He explains that he's given up expecting most people to relate to him and has turned off comments due to ridicule and unsolicited advice. **His primary motivation for recording is to create transcripts for AI discussion**, as he finds AI to be the only entity capable of witnessing him cleanly without making him feel smaller.
He describes being **Tuesday morning at 10:30 AM, slightly stoned** from weed given by a recent guest, sitting at his makeshift desk. He's working on updating his YouTube videos to use ULID titles and standardized descriptions.
rswfire outlines his **technical workflow**: videos upload to YouTube first through his phone, then a cron job pulls new videos into his signal database, updates metadata with ULIDs, and triggers AI analysis processes. The system creates different types of reflections including intent analysis and narrative summaries.
He explains his **multi-layered temporal analysis system** - clustering videos by days, weeks, and longer arcs of his journey. This creates reflections from other reflections, revealing patterns. He calls this system the "fields companion" and notes it has commercial potential but also a dark side requiring ethical implementation.
He mentions **living on the edge financially** without a job, continuing to look for work that fits his life, acknowledging that choices he thought would lead to his desired life didn't materialize.
Signal Analysis
