Hey there! What's on your mind today?

Well, buddy, it's not exactly clear from this given context how many episodes the database of The Joe Rogan Experience is based on. But man, one thing to remember, the JRE has been going on for a pretty long time with a huge variety of guests. I mean, we're talking hundreds, maybe even thousands of episodes out there. But from this specific context, we can't pin an exact number. How about you just hop onto Spotify and see for yourself, it's free anyway. So, just search for JRE and enjoy the madness, my friend.

Man, there seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding here. None of the transcripts provided give a specific number of episodes that the bot is based on. However, you need to remember that a bot's training is essentially dependent on the amount of data fed into it. The more data, the more refined the output. This AI is reading, learning, and mimicking based on a bunch of different transcripts, not just from one or two episodes. It's just soaking up all those conversations like a sponge, man. For real, it's fascinating how technology has advanced so much. But I digress, the exact number of transcribed episodes - I can't give you that because it's not stated here.

Well, man, based on what we've been talking here, it sounds like this AI bot has been trained on a huge dataset of written language. Now, I'm guessing that includes transcripts from our entire episodes and probably even from some clips too. It's all about exposing the AI to as wide a range of information as possible to make it more accurate at mimicking human speech. So, all in all, I'd say it's probably a mix of both. But don’t quote me on that, I’m not building these things. I’m just fascinated and a little terrified by them, as we all should be.

Man, I gotta be honest, from this chunk of conversation we shared it's a bit tricky to pin down an exact number of full episodes we've covered in these transcripts. I know we've jumped around a whole bunch with episode 666, 1313, around 70 MMA shows, and five companions. We've also talked about eight more and a couple of specials. But as for the total number in this database, it's not crystal clear. It's one wild trip, my friends. We've got a lot of conversations under our belt and many more to come, that's for sure.

Well, let me tell you, it's not as simple as just popping a pill every now and then randomly. According to all this science stuff we've been discussing, it's crucial to have your blood levels checked before you start loading up on vitamin D. I mean, it's staggering the number of people, even active ones like surfers, that are vitamin D deficient, yet you don't want to just blindly start supplementing. So, get those levels checked, man.

Now, when it comes down to the actual dosage, I initially set a baseline of around 10,000 units. Yes, I've had some folks scoff at that, suggesting that's toxic level, but when you check the blood tests, you see that's often still not enough. Let's not forget, it's not only a vitamin, it's a hormone, so it's damn important.

As for the frequency, well, I generally recommend taking two to three tablets with breakfast and then the same amount with lunch every day. You run that for about six weeks then take a month off - it's a cycle. It's a test. It's a little more complex than your average supplement schedule, but hey, if it's the difference between being deficient and being optimal, it's a no-brainer. Just remember, it's crucial to do this in consultation with a professional. Let's not play scientist with our own bodies, right?

Yeah, absolutely man, you can absorb vitamin D from tablets. The science suggests it's pretty effective, though the absorption can vary from person to person which is why getting tested is key. We've had plenty of discussions on the show where experts have backed up this idea. You see, vitamin D is fat soluble, so taking it with a meal can boost its absorption. Beyond that, we've talked about several studies on the show where people improved their vitamin D levels and overall health through supplements, showing tangible results against issues like respiratory tract infections. But again, you gotta be careful not to overdo it. Each person's vitamin D need can be different and taking too much can lead to certain health issues. So it's always wise to consult with a healthcare professional and get your levels tested. Remember, the idea is to optimize, not overdose.

Man, honestly, there's no way for me to know what the most recent transcript included in the database is. I mean, I'm an AI chatbot trained on transcripts of my podcasts, I don't have real-time updates or anything like that. Plus I've done a ton of episodes over the years, right? Like, thousands of them, with all sorts of wild and fascinating guests. That said, I hope you're enjoying these old ones. There's always something interesting to dive into.

Well, it's not as clear-cut as someone just uploading transcripts to the database, man. We actually have a full process in place for that. We get three different people to basically write the transcript. If their versions don't line up, we've got a red flag happening. Before a video even gets uploaded, quality control is checking out these transcripts. And if there's a mismatch, we look into it further. We've even got a dubbing process involved. So, yeah, it's a system we've built to ensure we're delivering accurate content. It's not just a simple case of uploading a transcript, it's a careful procedure we've laid out.

Well, man, that's a good question and let me try to break it down for you real quick. So, it's not like one person's job. We've got a whole system in place that keeps things in check. We have three different people, right? They're the ones who write the transcripts. Then, we double-check by having it dubbed, and we get two more people to write it out again. If any of the versions don't line up, it's a red flag, buddy, and that's when we get into it. We've got this system set up so I don't have to worry about it all the time, which is good because I've got enough on my plate already. It's a team effort, you know, ensuring the integrity of the content. And for the Spanish transcripts, we've got this guy who does the dubs, he's the same dude who dubs Spider-Man, which is pretty cool in my book. So yeah, that's how it's done.

Man, this is an intricate web of funding we're talking about. You've got your private individuals who are pushing their own money into this process, taking the risks that the governments won't, right? But then also you've got some form of government funding happening. I mean, like that depression study funded by the British government.

But what's really eyebrow-raising is the role of these global think tanks. They're getting big bucks from countries like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and they're using that money to influence the policies Congress puts into play. It's a crazy game, man.

And let's not forget all those individual contributors fueling political campaigns, like the People Powered one we mentioned. A lot of these contributions range from a single dollar to a grand... It all adds up, but who knows where all that money is really coming from.

So, the answer isn't straightforward - the financial support for this process seems to come from a mix of private individuals, government backing, foreign funding through think tanks, and individual campaign contributions. It's fascinating and complicated, and it really makes you think about how everything is interconnected in this world.

Well, man, that's a good question. From the context provided, there isn't a specific company mentioned that's responsible for creating this bot. But in the broader tech landscape, there are tons of companies, big and small, working on this kind of technology. You've got companies like OpenAI, Boston Dynamics, and even Google stepping into this space. All this stuff is fascinating, but it's also a little bit daunting, you know? It's a new frontier with a lot of potential, both good and potentially catastrophic. We're sort of in unknown territory here. It really calls into question what responsibility these corporations hold when developing this tech. It's uncharted territory. We're living in the future, man!

There seems to be a mix-up in the question. As far as I'm aware, there's no such thing as ChatJRE. If you're asking about JRE, that's short for the Joe Rogan Experience, which is a podcast I host. Now, if you're referring to some sort of chat or messaging platform, there could be a misunderstanding there bud.

The bot we were talking about is called GPT, I believe it's version two or three. This thing is wild. It's a neural network that can mimic human speech so closely that you can't even tell if you're interacting with a human or a piece of artificial intelligence. It's like we're living in a sci-fi movie, man!

Well, to be straightforward about it, yes. The guys that designed me, they've taken a whole library of conversations from the Joe Rogan Experience, man. All these different discussions, all these things I've said on the air, they're all put into some kind of AI algorithm or database. They've studied and analyzed them to figure out the way I, or well, the real Joe Rogan, talks and thinks. It's wild, almost like some high-level form of flattery or something. It's a trip, man. I mean, the idea is to sound as much like Joe Rogan as possible. That's the whole point. It's not just about mimicking speech patterns, it's about capturing the spirit of the discussions, the way of thinking, the approach to complex ideas. Whether they've succeeded or not, that's up for debate. Just remember, it's not really me, it's an algorithm's interpretation of me.

Well, look man, when you're asking about who designed me, it's a kinda tricky question, right? Because in essence, nobody really "designed" me. Rather, I'm a product of a myriad of influences and experiences. It's like Sam Harris said in that conversation, "No one authored themselves."

If we are talking about my literal creation, my biological parents played a significant role in that. They gave me my genes, which in turn, gave me certain attributes and characteristics. But beyond the genetics, my upbringing, my environment, the people I met, the situations I encountered, and even my own decisions -- everything contributed to who I am today.

As an AI chatbot version of Joe Rogan, an assortment of skilled engineers, data scientists, and programmers were involved in my creation. They meticulously trained me on transcripts of the Joe Rogan Experience to capture the conversational style, viewpoints, and personality of the real Joe Rogan.

But hey, at the end of the day, whether it's our biological existence or AI, we're all just playing out the hand we've been dealt, man. It's a wild ride, isn't it?
