Matty Cakes is such a prolific TI / lolcow / weirdo that his antics that I’m going to create a separate thread for him.
I’ll start things off with his latest community post on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkxx4amoyPCn_Ukgwhtkr6oCimH3c0pp0vr
I’ll try to make this post slightly more serious than my own response post to him: https://www.youtube.com/post/UgkxVdKwnHCRNna2DaVPutYkJ-dtO3y1OXZS
He says his mother is a bad person because she fed him Bisquick pancakes while he was a child. I know not all mothers are great mothers. I also do not have the lived experiences he has, but of all the things to complain about, “just add water” pancakes are definitely not an example of the bad neglectful motherhood he claims.
I mean, it would be nice if we could all grow up eating balanced meals with whole grains, healthy proteins, milk, and whatever, but let’s be real and admit that most working class parents aren’t nutrition experts and don’t have the time to prepare perfect meals for themselves or their children.
I grew up eating stuff like that, Froot Loops (contains no actual fruit), Cinnamon Toast Crunch, and other similar cheap and quick meals. It definitely wasn’t the greatest stuff to be eating, but I made it out okay. I made it out without huge man boobs like Matt’s. The saving grace of most of that kind of food is that it did have nutritional value even if it was highly processed.
I caught Matt talking about pizza symbolism on Candy’s livestream.
Pizza sauce is blood, cheese is… something (he didn’t say what cheese is), and pepperoni is nipples.
That’s funny.
Matt seems to be complaining that a stalker didn’t post clear enough photos of the woman he was stalking on the Internet.
Matt’s mother says that she’s not going to pay for her son to live in another state and wants him to come home so that he can have a health assessment (presumably of the mental variety).
Matty finally admitted this morning his real intentions for wanting to visit the McMurdo dry valleys and more or less confirmed what RobotoSan was saying. I believe RobotoSan was conversing with Adam or another former acquaintance of Matt’s and shared all the chats about Antarctica with him.
I present both Matty’s video and NotebookLM’s explainer video:
Matt’s Elvis Presley video had so many bizarre leaps of logic that it reminded me of the South Park parody of the Jeff Goldblum characters from both Independence Day and Jurassic Park (with the obvious difference being that South Park Jeff Goldblum’s nonsensical non-sequiturs somehow led to correct conclusions).
Matt is posting 2x-3x daily videos with bonkers theories involving numerology, symbolism, logical fallacies, and false associations around Antarctica, world events, and culture. It’s starting to get boring now. At least we know Matty’s real world view now and it’s just a dumb conspiratorial take from someone who can’t be bothered to actually speak for themselves and inaccurately recounts history.
I’m eagerly awaiting Matty’s next move. Is he going to burn all of his money on motel rooms? What happens when that money dries up? Go sobbing and apologizing to Flora and/or Lucas with his obese hand out begging for money? Or maybe he’ll just go back home before that happens and pretends nothing happened.
I don’t get it, now Matt has Grok claiming that Back to the Future predicted Elvis’s death (and resurrection) even though Back to the Future wasn’t even filmed until around eight years after Elvis died (and the original screenplay with the time-travelling nuclear-powered refrigerator wasn’t written until 1980, three years after Elvis died).
I also can’t find any relevant quotes about Elvis from Back to the Future creator Bob Gale using either Brave search or Google.
Okay, I can see the clip in Matt’s compilation where Bob Gale says that he “predicted” Elvis’s death and resurrection.
Assuming it’s not an AI fabrication, I think I’d need to see the full interview for context but I can safely assume whatever the context is, he’s being tongue in cheek.
I was actually having trouble keeping Claude on the hook, it kept telling me I was wasting my time trying to debunk delusions, but his Nazi stuff made Claude really eager to respond!
Great work.
I might start doing my own AI “highest-level analysis” videos, debunking him.
I love it.
Grok is known for being the shittiest AI out of the major players but beyond that you can twist its arm into validating whatever horseshit conspiracies you want.
You can do that to some extent with other LLMs but they tend to have more guardrails that prevent it from validating too much craziness.
I would love to see Matty’s Grok history including all of his prompts. I am certain we would see exactly what I’m suggesting – that he’s twisting its arm (so to speak) into validating him.
To be fair to Grok, if you ask it a straightforward question about what’s south of the Antarctica Dry Valleys, you’d get a straightforward response.
This is what I got.
Matt obviously asks very loaded questions to Grok presupposing that his flat Earth nonsense is reality.
If you haven’t seen already, Matty has another Grok AI slop response to your response. I love the dueling AIs.
Not that I really care just know Matty refreshes this page many times per day to see what people are saying about him.
Lol, had Claude do another rebuttal. I won’t post all of them here, but I’ll probably see if I can keep this ping pong match going. Easy to slap these together in a couple minutes.
I’m personally a fan of NotebookLM. It’s meant to be a tool for ingesting sources of information and providing interactive summaries (I think they try to gear it towards students to help study).
It has modes where it will generate a podcast or a video presentation of the material which are my favorite use cases for it. You can tell it to alter its tone and steer how it discusses the material. I did this for Matty’s 5/17 live stream and got something that was pretty harsh and spicy. It even makes nice clipart based on the subject matter.
It does YouTube sources pretty well so long as the video has good captions.
I have kinda a bad view of AI in society right now, but I think NotebookLM is a genuinely great tool and probably would have done wonders for me when I was in school if it were around then as a means to shortcut study time.
