d and today it's great. I anticipate some good luck coming for all of you. You don't all watch the pre-show. I do a little pre-show for subscribers on Locals and every morning I take three putts from 15 feet. I've got a little indoor putting green and yesterday I made all three. Now from that distance according to ChatGPT there's a one in five chance that even a professional would make a 15 foot…
← Previous segment →ot. I am slowly going to pick up this bottle of water and I will hand it to you and I'll be like, screw it, shut up, I'll get the water myself. Go wash the dishes. Okay, I will be back after spending 10 hours washing this one dish. I'll just wash it myself. Clean the house. Okay, I will go dust so slowly that you wish you were killing yourself. No, stop it. I'll just dust the house myself you stupid slow robot. That's how I feel like the first year of having a robot will go. I need a fast robot. I don't need no slow robot. Let me make that clear. No slow robots.
California just signed a law. The governor signed it to protect children from social media. Now this is one of those things where I say to myself I'll bet you, I'll bet you this is one of those stories where it's hard to know really whether they did something good or bad because there's probably like three layers to this that I don't understand. But at the surface layer I like the idea of protecting children from social media. But what exactly did they do to make that happen?
Well one of the things they did is if it's a minor's account you can't send them notifications without permission from a parent between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. which I don't mind. Oh and between 8:00 a.m. and 3 p.m. on weekdays from September through May. So basically when kids are supposed to be sleeping or supposed to be in school they can't get fed content. It's not bad. Not bad.
And there's some kind of limits to their addictive feed except I don't know how anybody would define addictive. Isn't everything that you like addictive? If the social media sends you more of things that it knows you want to see which is its entire point, isn't that addictive? So I don't know how they can get rid of addictive feeds.
Well in other news ChatGPT has hired Jony Ive who is famous as the incredible designer who worked on the iPhone and other Apple products. So apparently ChatGPT is making a device, some kind of a device. We assume it's going to be something that would do some phone related tasks but would it be a phone or would it be like a whole new idea that could do the phone stuff plus some extra stuff? I wonder.
I've been saying for a while that where phones need to be is that when you pick up your phone it's anybody's phone. In other words I could hand you my phone and when it comes on it could look at your face instead of my face and it would become your phone. So in other words it would only get into your accounts but if I handed you my phone it's just a blank screen

and you just hold it up to your face and it goes boop and it pops up with basically your phone as stored in the cloud. So the idea would be it would be a cloud-based phone which only works if your internet is pretty complete because it wouldn't work if you're not connected. So I don't know. We'll see if that's what Jony Ive comes up with but the fact that he's working on it and it's ChatGPT, those…
