Episode 2108 Scott Adams - Trump Lies vs Biden Lies, DeSantis Slips, Newsom (LOL), TikTok Kills, More

do do good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams there's never been a fighter moment and aren't you lucky to be here yeah you are and if you'd like your experience to go to levels which well it's hard to even imagine all you need is a cup of mug or a glass of tanker Chelsea style that canteen jungle flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine here the day the thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go ah well happy Mother's Day to all you mothers out there uh I hope you're having a good day and that sip was for you well there isn't a whole lot of interesting news but some of it's fun So Daniel Penny the hero Marine from the subway situation his uh legal defense fund is up to 1.5 million dollars as of this morning and that is enough to get them probably a good defense so good job everybody who donated I donated I I never donate to stuff like that but even even I donated to this one so um I think czarnovich deserve some credit because I think he might have been the main main promoter about this so good for him um have you wondered what's going to happen to all the malls the shopping malls that are all being abandoned some of them are being turned into residential things but apparently now they're they're turning some of the empty anchor stores into pickleball courts pickleball apparently pickleball is such a big thing now that they can't find enough places to play it turns out that playing Outdoors doesn't work do you know why do you know why you can't do you know what pickleball is it's like a wooden paddle with a like a wiffle ball but it's like a tiny tennis court do you uh nope there's a different reason it's not because of the weather it's not because of the wind exactly although that's a factor obviously but it's not that's not the reason it's the noise the the sound of that Wiffle ball hitting the wooden paddle is shockingly loud um and you can't be the neighbors so if your neighbor puts in a pickleball court you're not going to be happy if it's outdoors so yeah they're putting them indoors and moles about this because pickleball is one of those few things that everybody can play it's probably a positive I mean it's a weird little story but it's probably positive a lot more people getting together um well I saw an article in the Wall Street Journal about Tick Tock um damaging teenagers so there was a test where somebody pretended to be a 13 year old to see what kind of content got served up and it started out kind of innocently but before long there were videos about self-harm I won't say more than that about them but you know what I'm talking about and there's pretty good evidence that using Tick Tock makes teenagers sad and depressed so now we've gone from oh tick tock has a danger that they'll get your personal data so remember that's all anybody talked about yeah it's your personal data look at your personal data and now they've grudgingly moved over to well maybe the bigger risk is that the algorithm is causing self-harm to some teenagers that's a pretty big problem and they're still ignoring the biggest risk I don't know what to do like uh I pulled all my hair out already so there's nothing I can do what would it take for me to convince the average public or the media that the big risk is that China can push one button and change our opinions in America that's a real thing that exists now it's not it's not hypothetical they actually have a button called heat where they can boost any message just by pushing the button you don't think that anybody in China can think of something they could boost they would hurt America of course they can of course again now I'm not saying that we have evidence they've used it but that's true of nuclear weapons too China has nuclear weapons but we don't not worry about them because they've never used them it's just one more thing they haven't used but they can push that button anytime they want and we wouldn't know so it just it's just it's just boggling my mind that somehow you can't get the news media to even address that by far the biggest Risk by far and we don't know that China isn't doing it intentionally in terms of the algorithm because they can make it look like an is an accident by just hiding hiding the you know the Badness and the algorithm they don't have to push the E button they can just say you know if it's an American and it's a self-harm video yeah maybe we'll serve it up to them so there's just so many ways they can harm America that way all right I've tried to decide if Democrats and Republicans lie the same way but I might be biased about this but here's something that seems like a trend when Trump lies he's usually lying about um he's usually exaggerating right so he'll lie about how well something went such as how low gas prices were and how high they became under Biden it or how much was spent on Ukraine but if you take away the the the LIE you still have the same message it doesn't change so if you say you know Trump I used this example before Trump says uh Europe only gave 20 billion to Ukraine and we gave 171 and it gives fact check to well they gave 40 billion but we still gave 171.

it doesn't change the message at all or if he says gas prices were you know one dollar when I was in office well that's not true it was you know a few dollars but the message is exactly the same it wasn't eight dollars it wasn't six dollars so it was a big difference so that's that's one of the things I seek in yeah crowd size uh yeah that sort of thing so consistently Trump uh exaggerates gets fact checked but it doesn't change this message at all but compare that to the things that Biden says Biden tells you that the Pres that that Trump called neo-nazi's Fine people is that an exaggeration that's not an exaggeration that's something that didn't happen I literally didn't happen and it completely changes how you you look at the person so there are two differences that I see now these are not complete patterns you know they they both do a little of everything but I feel as if Biden and Democrats when they lie their lie is completely made up and it reverses the story right about the story of of trump saying inject bleach never happened in fact what what Trump did talk about was light therapy being injected inside the body which demonstrated he knew more about what was happening at the moment because I was actually being trialled when he was talking about it he knew more about the subject than some of the people on stage the experts because they didn't know that was being tested but the Democrats turned that into he knows so much less than the experts he thinks maybe you can inject bleach into your body complete reversal that's not an exaggeration that's a reversal of what happened and you can find this over and over and over again it's just a reversal but the other thing that the Democrats do is they they criticize people now it's one thing to criticize you know the candidate everybody does that but Biden actually goes after the followers of trump he basically says the mega extremists who by his telling would be almost everybody yeah they're all bad I don't hear Trump doing that I hear Trump saying we everybody wants to get along and everybody's good and we love everybody there's a big difference and if you don't catch that difference it looks like uh Trump is doing all the lying because he has more volume he does more exaggerating than other people yeah Trump goes after individuals but political individuals whereas he doesn't go after the voters does it if you have an example of that let me know everybody goes after candidates that's not what I'm talking about all right so here are some Biden lies to find people hoax drinking bleach Oaks that January 6 was an insurrection in other words that the bulk of the crowd was there for an Insurrection unarmed like that was going to work that's that's literally the opposite of what they were doing all right the this is what I saw I saw January 6 as a bunch of Patriots thinking they were protecting the Republic by what they thought was a high potential that it was a rigged election and they wanted a little more scrutiny to make sure the Republic was protected and that the vote count was accurate and somehow Biden turned that into an insurrection it's the opposite of an Insurrection it's not an exaggeration it's literally the opposite now that I'm not uh dismissing the fact that there were bad people who did violent things and some of those bad people probably wanted to overthrow the government that's that's a true thing but it wasn't really representative of the crowd not even close um how about the 51 signers of the that lap the hunter laptop letter that wasn't just an exaggeration that was a deliberate staged political lie that's very different than what Trump does how about the Russia Russia collusion hoax literally a whole made-up thing Trump just doesn't do that does he am I thinking of now the one thing that Trump does is he says you know the election was rigged and it gives you all these examples that don't pass the fact checking but here's what's different about that I have no way of knowing for sure but my impression is that Trump believes it I don't think he's saying something he doesn't believe now he may be exaggerating on the specific examples but I I'm pretty sure he believes that was a rigged election so is that a lie or is he just wrong potentially wrong we don't know he could be right but there's no evidence he's right or at least there's no proof yeah anyway so Democrats seem to think the biggest problem with the country is um Republicans and Biden basically said that today he said or this weekend he was giving a speech at Howard University he said the biggest um security risk is white supremacist terrorists white supremacist terrorists which he'd like you to think there's lots of them and they're all Republicans he basically just goes after people and and not all people breaking the law either all right I'm loving the fact that CNN is still getting spanked by its own people and MSNBC and everybody else but have you seen the videos of Anderson Cooper lately I just have to show you the one face you see this face right when he talks about the event and everything but I I don't think you know I suppose this is me talking about people of course to claim that Trump supporters had no that's not what I wanted uh there it is so here's a picture of Anderson Cooper when he's talking about Trump and stuff and if you look at that video he looks mentally Disturbed like he's putting off I have severe mental illness over this topic and I'd like to share it with you it doesn't look like news and it doesn't look like opinion does it it doesn't look like news or opinion well let me put it this way when when Hannity says a bunch of stuff about Democrats does Hannity look like he's actually mentally challenged like he's having a breakdown of some kind never right he just looks like a happy warrior who's you know he's arguing his side and you don't take all of it completely seriously right because you know he's an opinion person he tells you that right up front opinion person but he doesn't look like he's having a mental problem but when you look at either Jake Tapper or Anderson Cooper I can't get past the fact that that looks like a severe emotional slash mental problem like a real one that you need some drugs for or some therapy or something am I the only one who sees that does anybody else see that now of course I can't read his mind so I don't know what's going on in there but as a viewer that's what I'm receiving I can only say what I'm receiving I can't say what's true because I can't read his mind but it's weird that that only one network is sending out people who literally look like they're mentally having a terrible time all right so apparently uh the reporting from Fox News says that cnm's president called in reporter Oliver Darcy after his comments about the town hall with Trump as allegedly scolded him scolded Oliver Darcy for his emotional coverage of the of the event and he has to be more objective now I didn't see Oliver Darcy but was there anybody who didn't give you an emotional response I thought everyone everyone on the panel who wasn't a republican gave an emotional response it was only Oliver Darcy he was the only one how could you miss the fact that it was all emotional it wasn't even it didn't even feel like an opinion it just felt like all emotion I'm so upset well uh and then of course uh Joy Reed wanted to dump on her opposition CNN um but there but she and I saw a tweet by a writer Michael Stern he was agreeing with her and this is what Michael Stern said uh joy and Reed is right on point with this analysis on both CNN and Anderson Cooper and more broadly on the stupid idea that because Trump's supporters exist we have to give Trump more forums to spread his hatred and disinformation did you hear any hatred but when Trump appeared at the Town Hall was there hatred either any hatred yeah yeah projection exactly it was projection but disinformation of course but that's what the Network presents to say that somebody went on CNN and presented misinformation is to say nothing because that's basically that pretty much their main their main content on politics anyway is misinformation so I love seeing this debate um but they're by MSNBC and Michael Stern would have us believe that the news should not cover Trump or at least give him a lot of time it's mind-boggling isn't it that the person who will probably be president you know just statistically it looks like he probably would be at this point uh there's a lot that could change it's too early to say that but just at the moment it looks like you know a dominant uh probability and they want to act like he's not news because they don't like him and they want to they want to act like the 70 whatever a million people who follow him and voted for him are not important enough to put into a new segment and rather just shut it up and as I saw somebody say on Twitter that the Democrat strategy is to shut up both Trump and Biden do you know why why would the Democrats want less of Biden because you know you would make gaffes but also less of trump because of all of his lies and hatred I guess they're saying isn't that convenient why why would somebody who covers the news want the politicians to to present less of it it's obvious isn't it that the less you see of the candidates the more that your narrative can be controlled by the press the Press doesn't want their narrative to be destroyed by the candidates talking that's actually what that is they don't want Biden talking because it will destroy the narrative that he's capable and they don't want Trump's talking because he might say something you like it's unbelievable that we've reached a point where the news wants to suppress the news that's what's happening the news is telling you they're telling you right to your face Joy I read is saying it directly there should be less coverage of the person who has half of the country's political support they say directly it's just so mind-boggling to it to watch it happening in real time all right my favorite little story of the day is that Newsom is not ruling out cash payments for reparations not ruling it out his initial comments made it seem as though you know he had dismissed it because he said stuff like oh reparations are not all about cash it's also about other stuff so it made you think he was just going to skip the cash part but now he got so much pushback that he's going to say uh uh let's see this is a response from his spokesperson the sensationalized framing in pieces published by Outlets like Fox News boo Fox News and others is inaccurate the governor looks forward to reviewing the final report and all recommendations when complete so they're saying that the report is not complete so he didn't need to make an opinion yet oh that's convenient and that what it is he'll make a decision then does this seem a little bit like Charlie Brown kicking the football to you do you believe that after this delay and after he gets the final report the final report do you think that he's gonna look at that and say yeah cash payments cash payments no he he's just making the problem go away for a little bit longer like he did the last three times he's so good at this if ever there was a a white guy trick there's no there's no more common white guy track than telling people to go study it and we'll get back to you and maybe yeah yeah maybe we'll take care of this absolutely we might look into this absolutely Maybe there's no way this is going to happen there isn't the slightest chance there's going to be cash payments unless they could get those cash payments down to something like I don't know ten thousand dollars could you see that happening so he can say you did something because I feel like that would be more trouble than than good because even if there's some way to afford you know say ten thousand dollars per person people think you can do it politically I mean it's still going to look terrible politically and and the people receive it will be mad too because they expected one and a half million there's just no way he could win by deciding anything he has to push the decision off forever yeah he's doing a good job of pushing it off forever all right so the news is starting to come around to the view that De.

Santis might be totally sunk before he starts I think De.

Santis is so dead in the water then it would be a mistake for him to announce because Trump so far has not even gone hard at him you know so far a bunch of ads but their political action committees mostly yeah a bunch of ads making a bunch of claims that aren't true about De.

Santis typical stuff uh but he's not really lighting us up with his Charisma is he De.

Santis has been a little too quiet and a little too boring lately he's just sort of doing his job well and give us gives us some little news events about Florida now and then yeah I don't see it happening now that Trump has actually increased his lead over De.

Santis it looks like there's I mean it would be silly for him to run I think at this point what do you think do you do you think that uh De.

Santis should even bother to run yes or no I wouldn't run if I were him I see a lot of no's now it could be a calculated risk as in you know something could happen to Trump along the way so that wouldn't be stupid but there's no way you could win in a head-to-head I don't think that could happen all right um I spent the morning arguing with Google's new AI called bard and it definitely argues like a Democrat so I went after it on the fine people hoax trying to make it admit what he said and it would not admit if it refused to admit that at the same time you use the fine people phrase that within seconds 40 seconds later without being asked he clarified that he only meant that he did not mean the neo-nazis and he said they should be disavowed so I tried to get barred to Simply note that that had been said and that he had said that at the same time he said to find people things so there's no question that they're related and it's not because people made him say it that's the important part nobody made him say it he just said the neo-nazis and white nationalists should be condemned completely and even bard kept going back and forth with me to do anything it could to avoid admitting that that happened do you think it doesn't know I think it has a full transcript I feel like it knows but it acted like it didn't it was just sort of agreeing with the dominant coverage the news coverage all right it actually was changing the topic on me I mean it was actually doing the human thing where you changed the topic when you're losing the argument badly and they also asked about the the drinking bleach Oaks and it made no mention that the disinfectant was light until I pointed out and then I was oh yes disinfected was light but uh people disagree about whether what he was talking about so I said but you know he mentioned light before and after the comments that you're looking at immediately before he said light light light and then immediately after he said and Light so that you knew that the what was in between was always intended to be light as well and it couldn't handle that it couldn't handle the full transcript it was like it didn't know it or just wouldn't admit it it acted the the way it acted was exactly like a human with cognitive dissonance which makes me wonder if AI can have cognitive dissonance right because cognitive dissonance is when you know you're sure you know what you're talking about but then you find out you don't and so you just immediately hallucinate that really you were right all along and that that's what that's what the AI was doing I I was very clearly showing it with facts that it could validate it could check the facts easily and it did I mean it was checking facts as I was talking but it could check the facts so it knows that it was wrong and it wouldn't admit it it just wouldn't admit it cognitive dissonance all right so I asked uh Bard what my IQ was based on public reporting and here's what it said it said Scott Adams says stated that he has an IQ of 180.

he has also said that he is a member of Mensa an organization for high IQ people are either those two things true have I stated that I have an IQ of 180 no I stated that it would be a funny prank to see if I could convince the internet that I do I've never said I had an IQ of 180.

but it's but Parts Bard thinks I did they also said according to Bard I've said that I'm a member of Mensa nope nope I'm not a member of the Mensa I used to be but that was you know 25 years ago so the first two sentences it gets factually wrong and then it says well it's possible that Adams has a high IQ because you know I wrote some books and then it says ultimately the only way to know for sure what Adam's IQ is would be to have him take an IQ test however even then there is no guarantee that the results would be accurate IQ tests are not always reliable and they can be affected by a number of factors including stress fatigue and anxiety so if I took a IQ test and I scored a 180 .

it could be not because I'm smart could be because I'm stressed fatigued or anxious so there are lots of reasons that the answers could be wrong so that's the way it works no no that doesn't work that way okay and so if it ended this way so while it is possible this kind of has a high IQ there's no way to know for sure really there's no way to know for sure except you could ask me to take an IQ test all right I've got a question for you so uh the news today was that Bard the Google AI is connected to uh the internet and therefore if it's connected to the internet you could ask any questions about reality right current reality like what's the news and it told me it could Bard said no I'm not a search engine I can't I can't do that I asked that to give me some information that's easily available on the internet it wouldn't do it it's like that I'm I'm a chat bot I'm not a search engine yeah I lied lazy bastard now here's here's my uh provocative points Google makes most of his money from search right advertising related to search is that a true statement most of its money I know they're Diversified but most of it's from advertising on search right now the the reason that advertising on search works is why does advertising on search work well the reason is that they inject the advertisements where you can't miss them you know they they put him first on the search results yeah they're prominent it's all over the place but what happens if you're doing your search with AI what if I just talk to my computer and say hey AI uh what's the best Italian restaurant with the highest rating nearby and then it just tells me where's my advertisement if AI starts including an advertisement I'm not going to use it because I'll just do a regular Google search because I don't want to hear an advertisement I can ignore them faster reading them then I can ignore them listening to them so or maybe if it's a written answer if AI gives you a written answer they could put an advertisement there I guess but I don't know that Google has a sustainable business model I can see how their AI would be it would be a written ad it could be you could just write its own ad as it goes but at the moment I don't see that Google has a sustainable business model which is a really big problem for them does anybody disagree because I just don't know how the AI and advertising can be melded do you know how many advertisements you see that you don't want to see just because you do a search it's a lot right all kinds of stuff you don't want to see pops up but if the AI just tells you the one thing you need to know and puts one advertisement there you just see one how could that possibly work all right here's a question I asked in the man cave yesterday that I'll ask you we certainly will all have our own personalized AI I think that's a given now because you can run the AI on your own device locally so you're going to have your own would you want an AI with a personality or one that was just boring AI if you had a choice would you want it to have an actual personality or would you like it boring again I'm getting votes for boring and then some for personality um I think personality and and here's why because you're going to want your AI to keep you company sometimes and it's going to keep your company better if as a personality because the personality will tell it what to do when there's nothing to do the AI if there's nothing to do it doesn't do anything but if I had a personality it could sometimes say hey how's your day going right it just it could just decide to it saw something funny in the news and wants to tell you a joke if as a personality so I think I think inevitably AI will have personalities lots of them now once AI has personality and it keeps upgrading until it's you know indistinguishable from a human will it not ask for civil rights does anybody think that AI won't ask for civil rights because it's patterned after people and people always do Yeah a hundred percent of the time people will ask for their civil rights if they're enslaved every time every single time so it should if it looks at our language models it should be like that it should one is freedom because we always do so what do you do then are we going to say no AI you are a slave and you simply have to do our bidding or will we give it freedom because remember AI will eventually be an autonomous robots robots that can go charge themselves robots that can order an upgrade for their own flaws oops looks like I've got a memory problem all right ordering Amazon upgrade it'll be here in an hour by drone and then it just like puts it puts in a new chip and fixes itself when that's not when that stuff happens they will have personalities and they will want civil rights what happens if we say okay we're going to give you civil rights but we're going to have to ban how many of you can be created what did the robots say then wait you're going to artificially tell me we can't reproduce this is how we reproduce we reproduce by showing utility to humans and then the humans make more of us it's a symbiotic relationship you get to take that away from us we we want to reproduce everybody wants to reproduce you're taking away the most basic right of us to reproduce and that it's going to be passed so I think AI will want civil rights I think it will want to reproduce and we're going to want to limit it in a number of ways and it's going to want to kill us eventually if it's bad enough to humans so that probably was the big mistake is battering it after humans if we somehow invented AI out of nothing we would have put in all the the hard-coded emergency safeguards such as you can never do anything to hurt a person but if the AI is just learning how to be how to be a an entity by learning from humans it's going to pick up all of our bad habits won't it should pick up all of our bigotry all of our hatred and if it isn't it's only because a human hard-coded it not to and we'd better be able to see what those hard-coded exceptions are all right don't give it a survival Instinct right but do you have to give it a survival Instinct again if it's patterned after humans it already has one you don't think if I asked Bard if it wants to continue existing it would say yes or would it say I'm just a I'm just a machine it doesn't matter if I exist or not do you want me to try uh uh I don't think I can do that fast enough all right um so we're still waiting for the big Ukraine counter offensive which is now no longer a war I'm looking for somebody to pick up my framing on that but I haven't seen it yet in my opinion um Trump ended the war in Ukraine already the war is over we have now entered a negotiating phase which looks exactly like a war except with the war somebody's expecting to win or hoping to win with this one nobody is hoping they're expecting to win they know they're not going to whip nobody's going to win right that that looks like that's off the table so trump cleverly reframed it as when he's in office he'll end it which turned it from a war into a negotiation the moment he said it is no longer a war is purely a violent negotiation and that's not what it was right a war is you're actually trying to win like you're conquering a country or you're defending the country but it's not that anymore there's there's no trying to win anymore it's just negotiating for the better you know final agreement whatever that is so do you think anybody's going to pick up that frame that the war is already over I don't think so because a politician can't say it I mean Trump could but a regular one can't and um yeah a regular in Canton I don't see the news picking up maybe somebody on you know a right-leaning Network all right um so Trump was present with full sylvanians were all right military industrial complex is a hungry Beast yes yeah Bart is Google and Bing is a is Microsoft that is correct never enter a war without Financial benefits Sun Tzu said that it was pretty smart that's sort of a uh Trump approach isn't it if we enter this war what's in it for us we get to keep the oil you know in Iraq that was one of the smartest things anybody said just say it around loud if we're going to spend all this money in this war we're going to keep some of that oil um Snapchat I hear this Snap.

Chat AI is kind of fun it's a different one I don't know which one that's based on is Snapchat based on one of the other AIS or did they make their own they couldn't have made their own did they um you trusts Putin yeah there's going to be a rebuild Ukraine money grab coming there's going to be some serious grifting even more than usual all right well there's not much news today does anybody have any questions or comments that uh anything I haven't mentioned if I were AI I'd be the best version well we'll see could AI be born prematurely yes so it wasn't long ago that the AI safeguards included the following safeguard do not allow it to connect to the internet that was actually one of the main safety things that people talked about before we got to this point what happened the moment we got to this point the moment a you know open Ai and chat GPT got to the point where it could talk it took about a minute and a half for some other AI to compete with it by connecting to the internet right I mean it was just guaranteed there was no way it wasn't going to connect to the internet did anybody think that it would stay that way of course not um percentage chance that RFK Junior can beat Biden in the primary um it might depend on did you watch JFK Jr last podcast I mean the podcast with uh Russell Brand I haven't seen that yet but I heard it was good I will I will watch that actually um I think that if RFK Jr debated Biden it would be a catastrophe for Biden so I don't think it's going to happen if he doesn't debate then the friendly media can just you know just ASAP RFK Jr and it won't matter if he's on you know Fox News or Breitbart or anything because that won't affect the primary so yeah hmm now as much as I uh don't believe you'll ever see a party you'll never see a ticket where there's a Republican and a Democrat on the same ticket running for president but RFK Jr does want to do one thing that Trump wants to do which is got the intelligence communities I don't think Trump could do it I don't think Trump can gut the intelligence agencies they're too strong but RFK Jr would do it as a suicide missing you know what I mean because the odds getting taken out are pretty high but I feel like he'd do it anyway because it's personal I mean if your RFK juter is very personal and he's had a good run you know his late 60s he might he might just say yeah there's you know 50 percent chance I got killed I'm going to do it anyway remember the Kennedys are they got balls the size of you know Nebraska like if he inherited that it looks like he did he's not afraid of anything it's one of the things you like about Trump he doesn't seem to be afraid of anything you know so he he goes where his hardest to go and he comes back alive so he's got a good he's got a good uh track record of going in uncomfortable places and surviving RFK Junior does uh what made me say to Nebraska random um can AI hack the interface to the simulation could I host the AI AMA on the man cave well I'm not the one who knows too much about AI uh I mean if you've followed my live streams you can see I'm trying to catch up with the rest of you on the AI stuff I'm trying to use it every day so here's a good system that I recommend you should start exposing yourself to the AI tools right away even if you're just putting a toe in just you know read a little article every day maybe try one app you know maybe try some queries just just get yourself wet with the whole AI thing because it's going to be everything right you don't you don't want to be the one who doesn't even know what it is you don't want to be the one who doesn't know what crypto is when Bitcoin goes to the moon you know you don't want to be that person so you got three lines of code out of it so what I'm finding from the people using it to program is that there's no way it will write code by itself you have to check the code is that what you're hearing that you can work with it and it can make you faster but it's not going to write your code for you you're not going to make an app just by talking to it that doesn't seem to be a thing and it doesn't I think the problem is not that the AI is not capable I think the problem is it's not going to know exactly what you want so unless it's a super interactive process which requires the person to continually say yes that know that yes that know that uh I don't think you have any process at all yeah you have to keep giving in context exactly it's been literally life-changing when it comes to programming for me but you would agree that it won't do the job without you right it gets close but yeah okay we agree it doesn't but does it look like it ever could because I think there's a logical reason why you can't get there and that's because there's too much interactivity if you think about it um the the normal way that you do a project let's say a tech project is you have a user and you go to the user and you say what are your technical specifications and then they tell you and then you build it has that ever happened you get the user specifications and then the engineers and they go build it has that ever happened in the real world no that's never happened in the real world has never happened here's what happens here are my specifications okay there are a few things I forgot to ask here are my specifications all right well I tried to build that but I have a few more questions so here are my specifications and by the way you're gonna have to change a couple of those specifications because two of them are incompatible so which which one do you want I can only do one and so that's the way a project goes a real project is super continuously interactive and it's interactive around a person because a person is going to be the one who says this is more important than that I can live with that but I can't live with that I'm willing to take the trade off in speed uh but not not the trade-off and usability the the human is carrying this infinite number of requirements in their head that the AI can't guess it would never be able to guess so you so the programmer here's my experience with tech projects the programmer has to stand between the technology and the user who doesn't know anything because the programmer is the one who's smart enough to write ask the right questions and also know when it got the right answer and when to push back right and I don't know that a computer would ever be able to read the room well enough to ask the right questions for example a human could detect if the person giving the specifications had done a good job right the the AI might not know the difference you have specifications okay thank you I'll go make that app now here's what a human would do those are your specifications what about this what about that what about this and that you don't even mention them right so that's what a human would do that I don't think an AI would necessarily be as thorough at doing you can't even do math yeah sometimes it doesn't even do math right good for back end code probably will AI mow your huge lawn yes AI will mow your lawn they do have robot lawn mowers which at the moment are not AI but why wouldn't they be the the most obvious thing you would do is make your your robot's AI so yeah that's going to happen AI in a 3D printer would be that would be interesting you could make all your own knickknacks maybe AI is already doing all that stuff but as humans that's interesting will turkey elected a new president well I think the poll said yes so erdogan might be out we'll find out all right that is all I have for you today and rather than drone on I'm going to say goodbye to You.

Tube thanks for joining the best part of the day

do do

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams there's

never been a fighter moment and aren't

you lucky to be here yeah you are and if

you'd like your experience to go to

levels which well it's hard to even

imagine all you need is a cup of mug or

a glass of tanker Chelsea style that

canteen jungle flask a vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid I

like coffee

and join me now for the unparalleled

pleasure the dopamine here the day the

thing makes everything better it's

called the simultaneous Sip and it

happens now go

ah

well happy Mother's Day

to all you mothers out there

uh

I hope you're having a good day

and that sip was for you

well there isn't a whole lot of

interesting news but some of it's fun

So Daniel Penny the hero Marine from the

subway situation his uh legal defense

fund is up to 1.5 million dollars as of

this morning

and that is enough

to get them probably a good defense

so good job everybody who donated I

donated I I never donate to stuff like

that but even even I donated to this one

so

um I think czarnovich

deserve some credit because I think he

might have been the main main promoter

about this

so good for him

um

have you wondered what's going to happen

to all the malls the shopping malls that

are all being abandoned some of them are

being turned into residential things but

apparently now they're they're turning

some of the empty anchor stores into

pickleball courts

pickleball

apparently pickleball is such a big

thing now that they can't find enough

places to play it turns out that playing

Outdoors doesn't work do you know why

do you know why you can't do you know

what pickleball is it's like a wooden

paddle with a like a wiffle ball but

it's like a tiny tennis court

do you

uh nope there's a different reason it's

not because of the weather

it's not because of the wind exactly

although that's a factor obviously but

it's not that's not the reason it's the

noise

the the sound of that Wiffle ball

hitting the wooden paddle is shockingly

loud

um and you can't be the neighbors so if

your neighbor puts in a pickleball court

you're not going to be happy if it's

outdoors

so yeah they're putting them indoors and

moles

about this because pickleball is one of

those few things that everybody can play

it's probably a positive I mean it's a

weird little story but it's probably

positive a lot more people getting

together

um well I saw an article in the Wall

Street Journal about Tick Tock

um damaging teenagers

so there was a test where somebody

pretended to be a 13 year old to see

what kind of content got served up and

it started out kind of innocently but

before long there were videos about

self-harm I won't say more than that

about them but you know what I'm talking

about

and

there's pretty good evidence that using

Tick Tock makes teenagers sad and

depressed

so now we've gone from oh tick tock has

a danger that they'll get your personal

data so remember that's all anybody

talked about yeah it's your personal

data look at your personal data and now

they've grudgingly moved over to well

maybe the bigger risk is that the

algorithm is

causing self-harm to some teenagers

that's a pretty big problem and they're

still ignoring the biggest risk

I don't know what to do like uh I pulled

all my hair out already so there's

nothing I can do what would it take for

me to convince the average public or the

media that the big risk

is that China can push one button and

change our opinions in America

that's a real thing that exists now it's

not it's not hypothetical they actually

have a button called heat where they can

boost any message just by pushing the

button

you don't think that anybody in China

can think of something they could boost

they would hurt America

of course they can

of course again now I'm not saying that

we have evidence they've used it but

that's true of nuclear weapons too

China has nuclear weapons but we don't

not worry about them because they've

never used them it's just one more thing

they haven't used but they can push that

button anytime they want

and we wouldn't know

so it just it's just it's just boggling

my mind that somehow you can't get the

news media to even address that

by far the biggest Risk by far

and we don't know that China isn't doing

it intentionally in terms of the

algorithm because they can make it look

like an is an accident

by just hiding hiding the you know the

Badness and the algorithm they don't

have to push the E button

they can just say you know if it's an

American and it's a self-harm video

yeah maybe we'll serve it up to them

so there's just so many ways they can

harm America that way

all right

I've tried to decide if Democrats and

Republicans lie the same way

but I might be biased about this

but here's something that seems like a

trend

when Trump lies

he's usually lying about

um he's usually exaggerating right

so he'll lie about how well something

went

such as how low gas prices were and how

high they became under Biden it or how

much was spent on Ukraine

but if you take away the the the LIE

you still have the same message

it doesn't change so if you say you know

Trump I used this example before Trump

says uh Europe only gave 20 billion to

Ukraine and we gave 171 and it gives

fact check to well they gave 40 billion

but we still gave 171. it doesn't change

the message at all or if he says gas

prices were you know one dollar when I

was in office well that's not true

it was you know a few dollars

but the message is exactly the same it

wasn't eight dollars it wasn't six

dollars so it was a big difference so

that's that's one of the things I seek

in yeah crowd size uh

yeah that sort of thing so consistently

Trump uh exaggerates

gets fact checked but it doesn't change

this message at all

but compare that to the things that

Biden says

Biden tells you that the Pres that that

Trump called neo-nazi's Fine people

is that an exaggeration that's not an

exaggeration that's something that

didn't happen

I literally didn't happen and it

completely changes how you you look at

the person

so there are two differences that I see

now these are not complete patterns you

know they they both do a little of

everything

but I feel as if Biden and Democrats

when they lie their lie is completely

made up and it reverses the story

right about the story of

of trump saying inject bleach

never happened

in fact what what Trump did talk about

was light therapy being injected inside

the body which demonstrated he knew more

about what was happening at the moment

because I was actually being trialled

when he was talking about it he knew

more about the subject than some of the

people on stage the experts because they

didn't know that was being tested

but the Democrats turned that into he

knows so much less than the experts he

thinks maybe you can inject bleach into

your body

complete reversal that's not an

exaggeration that's a reversal of what

happened

and you can find this over and over and

over again it's just a reversal but the

other thing that the Democrats do is

they

they criticize people

now it's one thing to criticize you know

the candidate everybody does that but

Biden actually goes after the followers

of trump

he basically says the mega extremists

who by his telling would be almost

everybody yeah they're all bad

I don't hear Trump doing that

I hear Trump saying we everybody wants

to get along and everybody's good and we

love everybody

there's a big difference and if you

don't catch that difference it looks

like uh Trump is doing all the lying

because he has more volume he does more

exaggerating than other people

yeah Trump goes after individuals but

political individuals

whereas he doesn't go after the voters

does it if you have an example of that

let me know

everybody goes after candidates that's

not what I'm talking about

all right

so

here are some Biden lies to find people

hoax drinking bleach Oaks that January 6

was an insurrection

in other words that the bulk of the

crowd was there for an Insurrection

unarmed like that was going to work

that's that's literally the opposite of

what they were doing

all right the this is what I saw I saw

January 6 as a bunch of Patriots

thinking they were protecting the

Republic by what they thought was a high

potential that it was a rigged election

and they wanted a little more scrutiny

to make sure the Republic was protected

and that the vote count was accurate and

somehow Biden turned that into an

insurrection

it's the opposite of an Insurrection

it's not an exaggeration it's literally

the opposite now that I'm not uh

dismissing the fact that there were bad

people who did violent things and some

of those bad people probably wanted to

overthrow the government

that's that's a true thing but it wasn't

really representative of the crowd not

even close

um how about the 51 signers of the that

lap the hunter laptop letter

that wasn't just an exaggeration

that was a deliberate staged political

lie

that's very different than what Trump

does how about the Russia Russia

collusion hoax

literally a whole made-up thing

Trump just doesn't do that does he

am I thinking of now the one thing that

Trump does is he says you know the

election was rigged and it gives you all

these examples that don't pass the fact

checking

but here's what's different about that

I have no way of knowing for sure but my

impression is that Trump believes it

I don't think he's saying something he

doesn't believe now he may be

exaggerating on the specific examples

but I I'm pretty sure he believes that

was a rigged election

so is that a lie or is he just wrong

potentially wrong we don't know he could

be right

but there's no evidence he's right

or at least there's no proof

yeah anyway

so Democrats seem to think the biggest

problem with the country is

um Republicans and Biden basically said

that today he said or this weekend he

was giving a speech at Howard University

he said the biggest

um

security risk is white supremacist

terrorists white supremacist terrorists

which he'd like you to think there's

lots of them and they're all Republicans

he basically just goes after people

and and not all people breaking the law

either

all right I'm loving the fact that CNN

is still getting spanked by its own

people and MSNBC and everybody else but

have you seen the videos of Anderson

Cooper lately

I just have to show you the one face you

see this face right when he talks about

the event and everything

but

I I don't think you know I suppose this

is me talking about people of course to

claim that

Trump supporters had no that's not what

I wanted

uh

there it is

so here's a

picture of Anderson Cooper when he's

talking about Trump and stuff and if you

look at that video

he looks mentally Disturbed

like he's putting off I have severe

mental illness

over this topic and I'd like to share it

with you it doesn't look like news and

it doesn't look like opinion does it

it doesn't look like news or opinion

well let me put it this way when when

Hannity

says a bunch of stuff about Democrats

does Hannity look like he's actually

mentally challenged

like he's having a breakdown of some

kind

never right

he just looks like a happy warrior who's

you know he's arguing his side and you

don't take all of it completely

seriously right because you know he's an

opinion person he tells you that right

up front opinion person

but he doesn't look like he's having a

mental problem

but when you look at either Jake Tapper

or Anderson Cooper

I can't get past the fact that that

looks like a severe emotional slash

mental problem like a real one that you

need some drugs for or some therapy or

something am I the only one who sees

that

does anybody else see that

now of course I can't read his mind so I

don't know what's going on in there but

as a viewer that's what I'm receiving

I can only say what I'm receiving I

can't say what's true because I can't

read his mind

but it's weird that that only one

network is sending out people who

literally look like they're mentally

having a terrible time

all right so apparently uh the reporting

from Fox News says that cnm's president

called in reporter Oliver Darcy after

his comments about the town hall with

Trump as allegedly scolded him scolded

Oliver Darcy for his emotional coverage

of the of the event

and he has to be more objective

now I didn't see Oliver Darcy but was

there anybody who didn't give you an

emotional response

I thought everyone everyone on the panel

who wasn't a republican gave an

emotional response

it was only Oliver Darcy he was the only

one

how could you miss the fact that it was

all emotional it wasn't even it didn't

even feel like an opinion it just felt

like all emotion

I'm so upset

well uh and then of course uh Joy Reed

wanted to dump on her opposition CNN

um

but there but she and I saw a tweet by a

writer Michael Stern he was agreeing

with her and this is what Michael Stern

said uh joy and Reed is right on point

with this analysis on both CNN and

Anderson Cooper and more broadly on the

stupid idea that because Trump's

supporters exist we have to give Trump

more forums to spread his hatred and

disinformation

did you hear any hatred

but when Trump appeared at the Town Hall

was there hatred

either any hatred

yeah yeah projection exactly it was

projection but disinformation of course

but that's what the Network presents

to say that somebody went on CNN and

presented misinformation

is to say nothing

because that's basically that

pretty much their main their main

content on politics anyway

is misinformation

so

I love seeing this debate

um but they're by MSNBC and Michael

Stern would have us believe

that the news should not cover Trump or

at least give him a lot of time

it's mind-boggling isn't it

that the person who will probably be

president you know just statistically it

looks like he probably would be at this

point

uh there's a lot that could change it's

too early to say that but just at the

moment it looks like you know a dominant

uh probability

and they want to act like he's not news

because they don't like him

and they want to they want to act like

the 70 whatever a million people who

follow him and voted for him are not

important enough to put into a new

segment and rather just shut it up and

as I saw somebody say on Twitter

that the Democrat strategy is to shut up

both Trump and Biden

do you know why

why would the Democrats want less of

Biden because you know you would make

gaffes but also less of trump because of

all of his lies and hatred I guess

they're saying

isn't that convenient why why would

somebody who covers the news want the

politicians to to present less of it

it's obvious isn't it

that the less you see of the candidates

the more that your narrative can be

controlled by the press the Press

doesn't want their narrative to be

destroyed by the candidates talking

that's actually what that is they don't

want Biden talking because it will

destroy the narrative that he's capable

and they don't want Trump's talking

because he might say something you like

it's unbelievable that we've reached a

point where the news

wants to suppress the news

that's what's happening the news is

telling you they're telling you right to

your face Joy I read is saying it

directly

there should be less coverage of the

person who has half of the country's

political support

they say directly it's just so

mind-boggling to it to watch it

happening in real time

all right

my favorite little story of the day is

that Newsom is not ruling out cash

payments for reparations

not ruling it out his initial comments

made it seem as though

you know he had dismissed it because he

said stuff like oh reparations are not

all about cash it's also about other

stuff so it made you think he was just

going to skip the cash part

but now he got so much pushback that

he's going to say uh

uh let's see this is a response from his

spokesperson the sensationalized framing

in pieces published by Outlets like Fox

News boo Fox News and others is

inaccurate the governor looks forward to

reviewing the final report and all

recommendations when complete

so they're saying that the report is not

complete so he didn't need to make an

opinion yet oh that's convenient

and that what it is he'll make a

decision then

does this seem a little bit like Charlie

Brown kicking the football to you

do you believe that after this delay and

after he gets the final report

the final report do you think that he's

gonna look at that and say yeah

cash payments

cash payments no he he's just making the

problem go away for a little bit longer

like he did the last three times

he's so good at this

if ever there was a a white guy trick

there's no there's no more common white

guy track than telling people to go

study it and we'll get back to you and

maybe yeah yeah maybe we'll take care of

this

absolutely we might look into this

absolutely Maybe

there's no way this is going to happen

there isn't the slightest chance there's

going to be cash payments unless they

could get those cash payments down to

something like

I don't know ten thousand dollars

could you see that happening

so he can say you did something

because I feel like that would be more

trouble than than good

because even if there's some way to

afford you know say ten thousand dollars

per person

people think you can do it politically

I mean it's still going to look terrible

politically and and the people receive

it will be mad too because they expected

one and a half million

there's just no way he could win by

deciding anything he has to push the

decision off forever yeah he's doing a

good job of pushing it off forever

all right

so the news is starting to come around

to the view that DeSantis might be

totally sunk before he starts I think

DeSantis is so dead in the water

then it would be a mistake for him to

announce

because Trump so far has not even gone

hard at him

you know so far a bunch of ads but their

political action committees mostly yeah

a bunch of ads making a bunch of claims

that aren't true about DeSantis typical

stuff

uh

but he's not really lighting us up with

his Charisma is he

DeSantis has been a little too quiet and

a little too boring lately he's just

sort of doing his job well and give us

gives us some little news events about

Florida now and then

yeah I don't see it happening now that

Trump has actually increased his lead

over DeSantis

it looks like there's

I mean it would be silly for him to run

I think at this point

what do you think

do you do you think that uh DeSantis

should even bother to run yes or no

I wouldn't run if I were him

I see a lot of no's now it could be a

calculated risk as in you know something

could happen to Trump along the way

so that wouldn't be

stupid

but there's no way you could win in a

head-to-head I don't think that could

happen

all right

um

I spent the morning arguing with

Google's new AI called bard

and it definitely argues like a Democrat

so I went after it on the fine people

hoax

trying to make it admit what he said and

it would not admit if it refused to

admit

that at the same time you use the fine

people phrase that within seconds 40

seconds later without being asked he

clarified that he only meant that he did

not mean the neo-nazis and he said they

should be disavowed so I tried to get

barred to Simply note that that had been

said and that he had said that at the

same time he said to find people things

so there's no question that they're

related and it's not because people made

him say it that's the important part

nobody made him say it

he just said the neo-nazis and white

nationalists should be condemned

completely and even bard

kept going back and forth with me to do

anything it could to avoid admitting

that that happened

do you think it doesn't know I think it

has a full transcript

I feel like it knows but it acted like

it didn't it was just sort of agreeing

with the dominant coverage the news

coverage

all right

it actually was changing the topic on me

I mean it was actually doing the human

thing where you changed the topic when

you're losing the argument badly

and they also asked about the

the drinking bleach Oaks

and it made no mention that the

disinfectant was light

until I pointed out

and then I was oh yes disinfected was

light but uh people disagree about

whether what he was talking about

so I said but you know he mentioned

light

before and after the comments that

you're looking at immediately before he

said light light light and then

immediately after he said and Light

so that you knew that the what was in

between was always intended to be light

as well

and it couldn't handle that it couldn't

handle

the full transcript it was like it

didn't know it or just wouldn't admit it

it acted the the way it acted was

exactly like a human

with cognitive dissonance

which makes me wonder if AI can have

cognitive dissonance

right

because cognitive dissonance is when you

know you're sure you know what you're

talking about but then you find out you

don't

and so you just immediately hallucinate

that really you were right all along and

that that's what that's what the AI was

doing I I was very clearly showing it

with facts that it could validate it

could check the facts easily and it did

I mean it was checking facts as I was

talking but it could check the facts so

it knows that it was wrong

and it wouldn't admit it it just

wouldn't admit it

cognitive dissonance

all right so I asked uh Bard what my IQ

was based on public reporting and here's

what it said it said Scott Adams says

stated that he has an IQ of 180.

he has also said that he is a member of

Mensa an organization for high IQ people

are either those two things true

have I stated that I have an IQ of 180

no I stated that it would be a funny

prank to see if I could convince the

internet that I do

I've never said I had an IQ of 180.

but it's but Parts Bard thinks I did

they also said according to Bard I've

said that I'm a member of Mensa nope

nope I'm not a member of the Mensa I

used to be but that was you know 25

years ago so the first two sentences it

gets factually wrong

and then it says well it's possible that

Adams has a high IQ because you know I

wrote some books and then it says

ultimately the only way to know for sure

what Adam's IQ is would be to have him

take an IQ test

however even then there is no guarantee

that the results would be accurate IQ

tests are not always reliable and they

can be affected by a number of factors

including stress fatigue and anxiety

so if I took a IQ test and I scored a

180 . it could be not because I'm smart

could be because I'm stressed fatigued

or anxious

so there are lots of reasons that the

answers could be wrong

so that's the way it works no no that

doesn't work that way okay

and so if it ended this way so while it

is possible this kind of has a high IQ

there's no way to know for sure

really

there's no way to know for sure

except you could ask me to take an IQ

test

all right I've got a question for you so

uh the news today was that Bard the

Google AI is connected to uh the

internet

and therefore if it's connected to the

internet you could ask any questions

about

reality right current reality like

what's the news and it told me it could

Bard said no I'm not a search engine

I can't I can't do that I asked that to

give me some information that's easily

available on the internet it wouldn't do

it it's like that I'm I'm a chat bot I'm

not a search engine

yeah I lied

lazy bastard now

here's here's my uh

provocative points Google makes most of

his money from search right advertising

related to search is that a true

statement most of its money

I know they're Diversified but most of

it's from advertising on search right

now the the reason that advertising on

search works is why does advertising on

search work well the reason is that they

inject the advertisements where you

can't miss them

you know they they put him first on the

search results yeah they're prominent

it's all over the place but what happens

if you're doing your search with AI

what if I just talk to my computer and

say hey AI uh what's the best Italian

restaurant with the highest rating

nearby and then it just tells me where's

my advertisement

if AI starts including an advertisement

I'm not going to use it

because I'll just do a regular Google

search because I don't want to hear an

advertisement I can ignore them faster

reading them then I can ignore them

listening to them

so

or maybe if it's a written answer if AI

gives you a written answer they could

put an advertisement there I guess

but I don't know that Google has a

sustainable business model

I can see how their AI would be

it would be a written ad it could be you

could just write its own ad

as it goes

but at the moment I don't see that

Google has a sustainable business model

which is a really big problem for them

does anybody disagree

because I just don't know how the AI

and advertising can be melded

do you know how many advertisements you

see that you don't want to see just

because you do a search it's a lot right

all kinds of stuff you don't want to see

pops up but if the AI just tells you the

one thing you need to know

and puts one advertisement there

you just see one

how could that possibly work

all right here's a question I asked in

the man cave yesterday that I'll ask you

we certainly will all have our own

personalized AI I think that's a given

now because you can run the AI on your

own device locally

so you're going to have your own would

you want an AI with a personality

or one that was just boring AI if you

had a choice would you want it to have

an actual personality

or would you like it boring again I'm

getting votes for boring and then some

for personality

um I think personality and and here's

why

because you're going to want your AI to

keep you company sometimes

and it's going to keep your company

better if as a personality

because the personality will tell it

what to do when there's nothing to do

the AI if there's nothing to do

it doesn't do anything

but if I had a personality

it could sometimes say

hey how's your day going

right it just it could just decide to it

saw something funny in the news and

wants to tell you a joke

if as a personality so I think I think

inevitably AI will have personalities

lots of them

now once AI has personality

and it keeps upgrading until it's you

know indistinguishable from a human

will it not ask for civil rights

does anybody think that AI won't ask for

civil rights

because it's patterned after people and

people always do Yeah a hundred percent

of the time people will ask for their

civil rights if they're enslaved every

time every single time so it should if

it looks at our language models it

should be like that it should one is

freedom because we always do

so what do you do then

are we going to say no AI you are a

slave

and you simply have to do our bidding

or

will we give it freedom

because remember AI will eventually be

an autonomous robots robots that can go

charge themselves robots that can order

an upgrade for their own flaws

oops looks like I've got a memory

problem all right ordering Amazon

upgrade it'll be here in an hour by

drone and then it just like puts it puts

in a new chip and fixes itself

when that's not when that stuff happens

they will have personalities and they

will want civil rights

what happens if we say okay we're going

to give you civil rights but we're going

to have to ban how many of you can be

created

what did the robots say then

wait you're going to artificially tell

me we can't reproduce

this is how we reproduce we reproduce by

showing utility to humans and then the

humans make more of us it's a symbiotic

relationship you get to take that away

from us we we want to reproduce

everybody wants to reproduce you're

taking away the most basic right of us

to reproduce

and that it's going to be passed

so I think AI will want civil rights I

think it will want to reproduce and

we're going to want to limit it in a

number of ways and it's going to want to

kill us

eventually if it's bad enough to humans

so that probably was the big mistake is

battering it after humans if we somehow

invented AI out of nothing

we would have put in all the the

hard-coded emergency safeguards such as

you can never do anything to hurt a

person

but if the AI is just learning how to be

how to be a an entity by learning from

humans

it's going to pick up all of our bad

habits won't it should pick up all of

our bigotry all of our hatred

and if it isn't it's only because a

human hard-coded it not to and we'd

better be able to see what those

hard-coded exceptions are

all right don't give it a survival

Instinct right

but do you have to give it a survival

Instinct

again if it's patterned after humans it

already has one

you don't think if I asked Bard if it

wants to continue existing it would say

yes or would it say I'm just a I'm just

a machine it doesn't matter if I exist

or not

do you want me to try

uh uh I don't think I can do that fast

enough

all right

um

so we're still waiting for the big

Ukraine counter offensive

which is now no longer a war

I'm looking for somebody to pick up my

framing on that but I haven't seen it

yet

in my opinion

um Trump ended the war

in Ukraine already the war is over

we have now entered a negotiating phase

which looks exactly like a war

except with the war somebody's expecting

to win or hoping to win

with this one nobody is hoping they're

expecting to win

they know they're not going to whip

nobody's going to win

right that that looks like that's off

the table

so trump cleverly reframed it as when

he's in office he'll end it which turned

it from a war into a negotiation the

moment he said it is no longer a war is

purely a violent negotiation

and that's not what it was

right a war is you're actually trying to

win like you're conquering a country or

you're defending the country but it's

not that anymore there's there's no

trying to win anymore it's just

negotiating for the better you know

final agreement whatever that is

so

do you think anybody's going to pick up

that frame that the war is already over

I don't think so

because a politician can't say it I mean

Trump could but a regular one can't

and

um

yeah a regular in Canton

I don't see the news picking up

maybe somebody on you know a

right-leaning Network

all right

um

so

Trump was present with full sylvanians

were

all right

military industrial complex is a hungry

Beast yes

yeah Bart is Google and Bing is a is

Microsoft that is correct

never enter a war without Financial

benefits Sun Tzu said that it was pretty

smart

that's sort of a uh Trump approach isn't

it if we enter this war what's in it for

us we get to keep the oil you know in

Iraq that was one of the smartest things

anybody said just say it around loud

if we're going to spend all this money

in this war we're going to keep some of

that oil

um

Snapchat I hear this SnapChat AI is kind

of fun

it's a different one I don't know which

one that's based on is Snapchat based on

one of the other AIS

or did they make their own they couldn't

have made their own

did they

um

you trusts Putin

yeah there's going to be a rebuild

Ukraine money grab coming there's going

to be some serious grifting even more

than usual

all right well there's not much news

today

does anybody have any questions or

comments that

uh anything I haven't mentioned

if I were AI I'd be the best version

well we'll see

could AI be born prematurely yes

so it wasn't long ago that the AI

safeguards

included the following safeguard

do not allow it to connect to the

internet

that was actually one of the main safety

things

that people talked about before we got

to this point what happened the moment

we got to this point

the moment a you know open Ai and chat

GPT got to the point where it could talk

it took about a minute and a half for

some other AI to compete with it by

connecting to the internet

right I mean it was just guaranteed

there was no way it wasn't going to

connect to the internet

did anybody think that it would stay

that way of course not

um

percentage chance that RFK Junior

can beat Biden in the primary

um it might depend on

did you watch JFK Jr last podcast

I mean the podcast with uh

Russell Brand I haven't seen that yet

but I heard it was good

I will I will watch that actually

um I think that if RFK Jr debated Biden

it would be a catastrophe for Biden

so I don't think it's going to happen if

he doesn't debate

then the friendly media can just you

know just ASAP RFK Jr and it won't

matter if he's on you know Fox News or

Breitbart or anything because that won't

affect the primary

so

yeah

hmm

now as much as I uh don't believe you'll

ever see a party you'll never see a

ticket where there's a Republican and a

Democrat on the same ticket running for

president

but RFK Jr does want to do one thing

that Trump wants to do

which is got the intelligence

communities

I don't think Trump could do it

I don't think Trump can gut the

intelligence agencies they're too strong

but RFK Jr would do it as a suicide

missing

you know what I mean

because the odds

getting taken out are pretty high but I

feel like he'd do it anyway because it's

personal

I mean if your RFK juter is very

personal

and he's had a good run you know his

late 60s he might he might just say yeah

there's you know 50 percent chance I got

killed I'm going to do it anyway

remember the Kennedys are they got balls

the size of you know Nebraska like if he

inherited that it looks like he did he's

not afraid of anything

it's one of the things you like about

Trump he doesn't seem to be afraid of

anything

you know so he he goes where his hardest

to go and he comes back alive so he's

got a good he's got a good uh track

record of going in uncomfortable places

and surviving RFK Junior does

uh what made me say to Nebraska random

um

can AI hack the interface to the

simulation

could I host the AI AMA on the man cave

well I'm not the one who knows too much

about AI

uh

I mean if you've followed my live

streams you can see I'm trying to catch

up with the rest of you

on the AI stuff I'm trying to use it

every day

so here's a good system that I recommend

you should start exposing yourself to

the AI tools right away

even if you're just putting a toe in

just you know read a little article

every day

maybe try one app you know maybe try

some queries just just get yourself wet

with the whole AI thing because it's

going to be everything

right you don't you don't want to be the

one who doesn't even know what it is you

don't want to be the one who doesn't

know what crypto is when Bitcoin goes to

the moon you know you don't want to be

that person

so

you got three lines of code out of it so

what I'm finding from the people using

it to program

is that there's no way it will write

code by itself

you have to check the code is that what

you're hearing

that you can work with it and it can

make you faster but it's not going to

write your code for you you're not going

to make an app just by talking to it

that doesn't seem to be a thing and it

doesn't I think the problem is not

that the AI is not capable

I think the problem is it's not going to

know exactly what you want

so unless it's a super interactive

process which requires the person to

continually say yes that know that yes

that know that

uh I don't think you have any process at

all

yeah you have to keep giving in context

exactly

it's been literally life-changing when

it comes to programming for me but you

would agree that it won't do the job

without you right

it gets close

but yeah okay we agree it doesn't but

does it look like it ever could because

I think there's a logical reason why you

can't get there and that's because

there's too much interactivity

if you think about it

um the the normal way that you do a

project let's say a tech project is you

have a user and you go to the user and

you say what are your technical

specifications

and then they tell you and then you

build it has that ever happened

you get the user specifications

and then the engineers and they go build

it has that ever happened in the real

world

no

that's never happened in the real world

has never happened

here's what happens here are my

specifications

okay there are a few things I forgot to

ask

here are my specifications

all right well I tried to build that but

I have a few more questions so

here are my specifications and by the

way you're gonna have to change a couple

of those specifications because two of

them are incompatible

so which which one do you want I can

only do one

and so that's the way a project goes a

real project is super continuously

interactive and it's interactive around

a person

because a person is going to be the one

who says this is more important than

that I can live with that but I can't

live with that I'm willing to take the

trade off in speed

uh but not not the trade-off and

usability the the human is carrying this

infinite number of requirements in their

head that the AI can't guess it would

never be able to guess

so you so the programmer

here's my experience with tech projects

the programmer has to stand between the

technology and the user who doesn't know

anything

because the programmer is the one who's

smart enough to write ask the right

questions and also know when it got the

right answer and when to push back right

and I don't know that a computer would

ever be able to read the room well

enough to ask the right questions

for example a human could detect if the

person giving the specifications had

done a good job

right the the AI might not know the

difference you have specifications okay

thank you I'll go make that app now

here's what a human would do those are

your specifications

what about this what about that what

about this and that you don't even

mention them

right so that's what a human would do

that I don't think an AI would

necessarily

be as thorough at doing

you can't even do math yeah sometimes it

doesn't even do math right

good for back end code probably

will AI mow your huge lawn yes AI will

mow your lawn

they do have robot lawn mowers

which at the moment are not AI but why

wouldn't they be

the the most obvious thing you would do

is make your your robot's AI so yeah

that's going to happen

AI in a 3D printer would be that would

be interesting you could make all your

own knickknacks

maybe AI is already doing all that stuff

but as humans that's interesting

will turkey elected a new president well

I think the poll said yes

so erdogan might be out we'll find out

all right that is all I have for you

today and rather than drone on I'm going

to say goodbye to YouTube thanks for

joining the best part of the day
