st going to add jokes to all of it. Is that okay? I'll just add jokes to all of the news if I have any. Well they don't. They're not all jokes. Let's see. We'll start with Matthew Perry. We know what happened to him now. It was a ketamine overdose which apparently caused him to lose consciousness and then I guess he slipped into his hot tub. So did anybody have drug overdose as their bet? I have t…
← Previous segment →nd app. Digi is the company, digi.ai, and it's sort of cartoon looking but it's sort of like Jessica Rabbit. You know, kind of an attractive cartoon looking character. And I don't know why people are excited about it but it got a lot of attention today. And I'm going to ask you this. Tell me in the comments. I happen to know that my audience includes a lot of people who don't spend time with other people. Would you use a digital companion? How many of you, if you're willing to admit it, how many of you are willing to use a digital companion?
Now the ones who are saying no, I feel like you have to establish your human bona fides or something. It's like no I would never do that. Do you know what this feels like? This feels like 1985 when you ask somebody if they look at porn. Does anybody, is anybody old enough to remember that? In 1985 if you said hey do you look at porn what would people say? No. No. What?

Why are you looking at me? Why would you even ask me that question?
And then you fast forward to the 2000s. Do you look at porn? Yeah I really love the stuff. Am I right? You get a completely different answer in the 2000s than you did in the 80s. Very different. So I just asked this question. How many of you would consider having an AI companion? And people are like no no no no no no no way. There's no way you're going to get me with an AI companion. Well let me check back with you in about 20 years. Maybe 40. Yeah I think at least half of you who said no way will indeed have digital companions. That's my prediction.
I don't think this technology is quite there but I'm going to tell you something without too much detail. Yesterday I sampled, I'm going to be very vague here so don't ask me for details. I'm vague intentionally for your benefit. So this is vagueness for your benefit not mine. There is a digital product that I'm not going to describe that gives you the sensation of being with a human. And I tried it out yesterday and it's not porn. It's not porn. And my God. Oh my God it gives you an experience that I can't even explain.
Now so far the thing I'm talking about which is a digital product is not combined with AI. Can

you guess what it is? The other thing is, yeah he probably can, but it's not porn. But when you combine it with AI it's going to blow your mind out and you don't see it coming. But I've experienced it so I can tell you that the empty feeling you get from looking at a cartoonish AI partner is going to be kind of bland and two-dimensional and it won't really have much impact on you. There won't be t…
