t to give it credit. If somebody knows where I took that from, you probably read it too. Could you give credit to wherever this came from? I think there was a good addition to the conversation, but it was on a right-leaning website somewhere. Anyway, in my opinion if a president who has full sweeping authority to declassify says take these boxes and put them in my residence, he's declassified them…
← Previous segment →er thing. So I submitted a comic to my syndication company this week and it was rejected for content. And I had to rewrite it and I believe the rewrite has been accepted. So I completely changed the joke. But if you belong to the Locals platform and you're a subscriber, sometime later today you will see the comic that the rest of the world will not see because it's too dangerous apparently. So you'll see the original version that's not yet published. I think the date is September 25th when it would come out. And you'll get to see the one that my editor said nope, nope, nope, nope.
What was the topic? The topic was Dilbert's company created a robot that looked too much like an attractive woman and it went from there. So I had to rewrite that. But it wasn't sexual. It was not sexual. What it was supposed to be is a comment on the fact that we will have robots that are more attractive than humans really soon. Really soon. And that that's going to be a civilization-threatening situation. Because once you like your robot better than people, and why wouldn't you? Because keep in mind your robot will eventually look more like an attractive human than the person you're with. Right? If you pick a human you'd be really lucky if you got like a super beautiful one or super handsome. But the robot's going to be super beautiful or super handsome if they make it that way. And it's very soon going to look exactly like an actual human. So very soon. And what happens if AI gets into the robot so it can have a conversation with you just like AI can now? And the AI will be interested in what you're interested in and it will show interest in you and caring about you. That's better than humans. We're right at the edge. Right at the edge. And we'll definitely go past it where the robot will just be better company and more rewarding to spend time with. Yeah, we're very close to that.
But anyway that was my point. But the risk was that women might take it differently. Now I don't think my editor was wrong by the way, so I want to be clear. I think my editor got this one right. You know the job of the editor is not just to make sure that the editor stays out of trouble but to keep me o

ut of trouble. So part of their job is to keep me employed, keep me from getting cancelled. And my editor's opinion, which I trust in this situation, was that this would get me cancelled. So you'll get to see it on Locals. All right, talk about self-hypnosis that makes you more horny for your own mate. I did it and she responded. Interesting. Well we'll not talk about that today, but that's a top…
