The YouTuber known as Jose “Chille” DeCastro went live twice early Friday morning on his embittered YouTube channel with a new promise that his long-awaited Governors’ Handbook would soon be finished generating, revealed his name for his AI sidekick (“Playboi”), and avoided mentioning of his announced lawsuit against YouTube for most of his four hours of streaming.
DeCastro had previously announced the lawsuit against YouTube on his last livestream, putting the urgency of suing the platform slightly behind that of publishing his Governor’s Handbook and finishing his long-delayed Constitutional HQ board game and rebranding his Delete Lawz channel.
The failed Power Ranger had said that the lawsuit would involve YouTube’s policies that resulted in the demonetization of his channel. He vaguely stated that he was going to sue over YouTube’s terms of service and made it clear that he lost the majority of his income with YouTube made the decision to remove monetization of his channel.
By Friday’s second livestream, the urgency of his pending legal action was reduced to two brief mentions as DeCastro was wrapping up the stream:
Of course, I will file suit against YouTube. I will sue them. For what they’ve done to this channel.
And:
Southern Charm, they demonetized the channel, then they cut off all the traffic. As soon as I created a way to make money on the channel, they cut off all the traffic.
I believe it was purposeful done. And I’m gonna sue them over it.
Followed by:
I’m gonna sue YouTube for what they’ve done, but do I win that lawsuit? Do they restore the channel where they put the traffic back on it?
I don’t know. If they do then we still have delete laws. If not I have to totally reband.
I have to totally rebrand. There’s no choice.
Otherwise, the diminutive YouTuber put the focus on his Governors’ Handbook announcing new rules he recommends to implement, the first of which involving the qualifications to be a police officer:
So just so you know, in the governor’s handbook We have it set up that cops can’t be cops. Look up the qualifications for being a cop in the governor’s handbook and get ready to say them out loud. I put in the governor’s handbook that you can’t be a cop till you’re twenty-six after you go through four years of constitutional training.
With Playboi, his AI assistant adding:
Like I ran through earlier, Governor. Here’s the short version from chapter 13 No badge before 26. Every officer needs 1,000 hours of constitutional law. There’s one physical test for men and women a psychological evaluation every year, drug testing, and grappling every week. Anyone on a Brady list is out.
DeCastro made it clear that he wrote his book in conjunction with multiple AI clients. Those clients were in the process of proofreading his work, which lead to a strange interaction between the two where Playboi corrected DeCastro:
Chille: Now we’re done with the book, so now we’re just proofreading. We’re well well, we’re 99 % done with the book. We’re now just proofreading.
And we end up 79 chapters or 80 chapters.
Playboi: 80 chapters. Governor, now that single-purpose legislation is chapter 22. There are also two A chapters, 16A and 54A. So 82 in all. One edit is still waiting. The school bus stop arm rule.
Chille: Okay, we’re gonna get into that Sound so the book is this close to being done. I should finish by December, to be honest. It’s gonna take till December.
And then we’re gonna have a whole new curriculum. What the board game I wanted to be, this is This is it. This is this is by far the best work I’ve ever done in my entire life.
It’s not even remotely close.
A second exchange involving DeCastro’s proposed rules on e-bikes would show exactly how much DeCastro relied on his AI agents to complete his work:
Chille: Hey Playboy, explain to the people on the live stream here how we do the insurance on e-bikes and the licensing on e-bikes to make sure the cops can’t just stop you. How do we do it?
Playboi: Sure, Governor. Here’s how it works in the handbook. Licensing.
There’s no driver’s license for an e-bike. Every rider, kids included, takes a short open book test online for $5, and registration comes with it. You do it once, for the life of the bike.
With no DMV and no renewals. If an officer finds you without it, you take the test on your phone right there and ride home. No tow, no fee, no fine.
Insurance. Every e-bike carries liability insurance. About six or seven dollars a month.
But no cop can ever stop you to check it. It only matters after a crash. If you hurt someone with no insurance, you pay the victim directly On a payment plan if you need one, plus a $500 penalty into a fund for victims.
If nobody got hurt, You just get a reminder. And no stop at all unless there’s a real problem.
Chille: But there’s no stopping you to check for insurance of your e-bike, correct?
Playboi: Correct, Governor.
Chille: And there’s no stopping you to see if you have a license, correct?
Playboi: Mostly, Governor, but there’s a gap. The book says, no ticket unless there’s a problem, like hitting someone or making someone swerve. It doesn’t say outright that no cop can stop you just to check for the certificate. It only says that if you’re stopped without one. You take it on your phone and ride home.
Chille: Well we have to make sure we close that gap. There’s no stopping you to check to see if you have a certificate or you have insurance. The only time those things become Credible is when you have gotten to a car wreck, when you are driving so dangerously that you’re impeding traffic, people have to slam on their brakes, or you’re hitting other people and causing victims. So let’s make sure we close the gap. We’ll do that on the update when I end this live stream, okay?
Playboi: Got it, Governor. We’ll close that gap in the update.
The YouTuber’s reliance on AI to produce his works has brought concerns about claiming authorship of a work that is largely not his own. Current rules of major publishing platforms allow for sales of AI generated books as long as it is noted that the content is AI generated.
For a mixed case scenario, where AI contributes to the work or helps proofread the material no such disclosure is necessary.
DeCastro would go on to announce that he would be limiting his livestreams until he finished his Governors’ Handbook:
I’m not live, but once a week, if that. We I probably won’t be going live regularly until December, until the book is done, because it requires all of my time and all of my attention.
In the meanwhile, though I literally have zero income. So I definitely need your support more than ever. I can’t do it alone.

Later adding:
