Andrew Bustamante: CIA Spy | Lex Fridman Podcast #310

I’m a retired FBI Special Agent, and I can say that Andrew’s thoughts on our government not using surveillance against us, but only for terrorism is incredibly naive.

"When exposing a crime is treated as committing a crime, you are being ruled by criminals" - Edward Snowden.

I like that Lex always has prepared questions but also goes off script when he's interested. He's the perfect AI.

Andrew: I am trained by the most competent spy agency in the world to lie to people and pretend that I am their friend and giving them something they want, but I actually have ulterior motives and am willing to do or say practically anything to achieve those motives. And even though I am not longer employed by the CIA, I still enjoy doing that in my personal life. Everyone: But he's not doing that with us!!!

He finally found his dream job. Working for CIA as an ex-CIA.

Don’t trust a guy that defends national surveillance. Especially when he says those that care about privacy are a threat & shouldn’t have a say in the topic. “Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety”~ Ben Franklin

That guy made a living out of lying, but he would never lie to us.
