cing all our jobs. I think maybe it'll be an assistant for a while, etc. However, I want to be the first one to tell you what's coming. What's coming is a new form of AI that's not the large language models. So the problem with the large language models is that all they do is look for a pattern. That's all they do. And so if the words that people have used are in a certain pattern, it uses that pattern. So it doesn't mean that it's seeing the truth, it's just detecting patterns which sometimes are not reality-based patterns. So that can't go too far.

But there's a new type of AI being referred to as generative video AI. Now, if I understand this correctly, generative video AI starts with real video. So let's say if you had the database of all the video taken by all the Tesla car cameras, that would be the real video. And then you could train your AI with real video so that it could see for example this is an object that's a phone. It could see how it could be manipulated in space. So instead of learning a word pattern and the word pattern for LLM might be I pick up phone and if a lot of people say I pick up phone then the large language model knows that you can pick up a phone but it doesn't really know it. It's just a pattern. Lots of people have picked up phones. Lots of people have mentioned it. So now AI knows that you can pick up a phone.

But with the new ones, the video ones, if you had video of somebody picking up a phone, it would know you could pick up a phone. And it could also conform to the physics of the situation. And then the fun part is it can generate fake videos of people doing things with the phone. But the fake video would be based on things that could be done with the phone because it uses physics, etc., like a game would, just like a video game. So that it can create a whole bunch of knowledge about what a person can do with a phone without observing it. So it wouldn't have to observe people doing it. It would just figure out, oh well, now I know it's a physical object. It's about this size. That would be something somebody could pick up.

Now I'm simplifying it but what I'm trying to say is that that limitation of the hallucinating might be fixable but it will require an entirely new technology. This generative video AI which is coming by the way it's not speculative. It's being rolled out right now. Yeah. I think that's close to what Tesla is doing. It's either close to or exactly what Tesla's doing. That's right.

So if you were going to bet on which company got to the really smart AI first, I think I would bet on Tesla. Now, that's not a recommendation. It's not a recommendation. Don't buy stock because I say it's something that's a bad idea. But it does look like Elon knows that the LLMs are capped and that he knows that if he's going to put a trillion dollars into it, which he is, he'd better get the good stuff. So keep an eye on that.

Ray Kurzweil, the futurist who's been around forever. He's trying to live forever. Like literally live forever by porting his brain to a computer someday. I think he says that AGI, that would be the real smart version of AI, will be around 2029. Now, he's got a long track record of making incredible predictions. So we take him seriously. 2029. So three years. I think he's right on. I think he's right on because it will take about that time in my best guess for that generative AI to not only work but to be sort of rolled out. That feels about right. I think he nailed it again probably about three years before we have the serious AI.

In other fun news, according to the Daily Mail, some tunnels have been discovered under Egypt's Giza pyramids. Now, these are not the weird stories that I debunked a while ago. Several months ago there was somebody said, "Oh, we found all these things under the pyramids." It's not that. Apparently connecting pyramids as opposed to being directly under them. And they found a few of these alleged long-forgotten underground pathways that had been rumored in history but nobody found them.

So I guess Herodotus had described a labyrinth in Egypt with 3,000 chambers, many hidden below ground, but nobody had ever found any of it. So they thought Herodotus might be an exaggerator, I guess, but maybe there is something down there. So we will soon find out who built those pyramids when we get down there.

Maybe University of South Wales found out that you could use intensive one-week online therapy to reduce symptoms of social anxiety. So apparently they did a study and they found you could reduce your social anxiety disorder with online help.

Now, in my book *Reframe Your Brain*, I also have a reframe for that. You want me to just, I think I'll just tell you, I've told you this reframe before, but it's one of the very best. This could be life-changing. Do any of you have that problem where if you go to a party, first of all, you didn't want to go, but then you're sitting outside and you say to yourself, you know what? I can't even walk in that room. I don't want to be in a room with all those fakes and those people, right? How many of you have that social anxiety where you go I just I can't talk to these strangers? A lot of you, right?

I'm going to give you a reframe now that will fix it. You ready for this? This will change your life. It really will. I've heard from people who say it changed their life. They just heard it once. Changed their life. It goes like this.

First of all, everybody has social anxiety. Now, maybe not everybody, but 90%. So the first thing you need to know is that everybody else is pretending. As soon as you think you're the only one pretending to be comfortable and that everybody else has figured out how to do this, that's not the case. They're all uncomfortable. Ten percent are kind of crazy narcissists who like the excitement. Ten percent. Ninety percent are exactly what you're feeling. Oh, who am I going to talk to? What do I do with my hands? Did I make a fool of myself? Can I just make an excuse to leave? Why should I pretend to get another drink?

All right, here's what you need to know. If you had studied the Dale Carnegie approach for making conversation, you would know the technique for walking up to any stranger and just starting a pleasant conversation that the other person would, when you're done, say, "I like that guy." Or, "I like that person." And it's easy. I've taught you this many times. All you do is you ask questions about the other person and you listen. That's it.

If you walk up to somebody and try to make a joke to a stranger, which is what I used to do before I learned how to do this, I would think, well, if I'm funny, like I'll bond right away. Never really worked. You can get lucky and hit somebody who has your exact sense of humor and then something can happen. But it's not a good general approach. Most people are not going to laugh and it's just not going to lead to anything.

But if you walk up and say your name, hi, I'm Scott. That's always first. Hi, I'm blah blah blah. If they don't say who they are, you say, "What's your name?" And then you ask them just basic questions about them. It would depend on what was the point of the thing. So you might say, "Hey, you know, where are you from?" or "Who do you know?" Or you could even ask, you know, what do you do for a living? If the conversation goes, do you have kids? You planning a vacation? What school do your kids go to? If you ask just those basic questions, the other person will feel comfortable because they know the answers to the questions. They know their name. They know where they work. They know where the kids go to school, unless it's the father. And then that's comfortable because all they're doing is answering easy questions and it looks like you're interested in them. Solves every problem.

All right, so I just solved how to talk to a stranger. If you don't think that works, try it once. It works. It works every time. Show interest. Ask questions and don't do a big monologue about you. If they want to know about you, they'll ask. You don't even have to say anything about you. But usually if just a few questions, you can find something you have in common. So you might say, "So what do you do for a living?" And the person tells you their job and you go, "I'm so interested in that. Like how does that work? How'd you get into that?" So you know, and if it's something about kids, if you have kids about the same age, you got lots to talk about. So you're looking for that thing you can talk about, the jumping off point, and the questions are just to get you to that.

All right. Now, so now you have a skill that I just taught you that the other 90% of the people who have bad social anxiety don't have. So what are they going to do? They're going to go there and think, I don't know what to do. I don't know what to do. But I solved it for you. Just walk up to somebody who looks uncomfortable. Introduce yourself. Ask some questions. And then the next thing you need to know is how to leave. You know how to stop talking to somebody because you don't want to get trapped and you think, "Oh, I found one person to talk to. I'll just stay here all night until they hate me." No, you have to leave. You want to give them just enough of you that they got enough but not too much.

So here's what you say. It was really great meeting you. I want to do a little mingling and I'll catch up wit
