Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Getty. I'm Strong and Getty and
Speaker 2: he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: In a stunning development, Canada has declared war on the
Speaker 3: United States.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Joe Braxton, who is live at the border.
Speaker 2: I'm currently at the border, but there is no war.
Speaker 1: Mom, Dad, I know this looks kind of real, but
Speaker 1: it's all AI.
Speaker 2: Grandpa, I'm fine, this is just AI. You don't need
Speaker 2: to wire money to anyone. I am not in love
Speaker 2: with you, and I do not need your money for
Speaker 2: a plane ticket.
Speaker 4: I am AI.
Speaker 1: This fake moon landing footage isn't classified.
Speaker 5: It's AI.
Speaker 6: There could be Aliens, but I'm not one of them.
Speaker 2: I'm AI, Uncle Fred. Government has not been taken over
Speaker 2: by bisert people. You don't need to send us five
Speaker 2: thousand dollars in gift cards because you missed jury duty. Grandma,
Speaker 2: it's not real.
Speaker 5: It's AI. It's Ai.
Speaker 2: AI.
Speaker 1: It's kind of funny, if only, but that's not the case,
Speaker 1: as we all know, and all those instances.
Speaker 5: Boy got to run that on every TV service that exists,
Speaker 5: and people see it.
Speaker 1: Well, so I'm about to talk about this new AI
Speaker 1: book in just a second, and one of his big
Speaker 1: points is governments need to start regulating AI like yesterday
Speaker 1: and coming up with some guardrails before it gets unleashed
Speaker 1: on the world in all kinds of different ways. Luckily,
Speaker 1: the state of California is already on it, Katie.
Speaker 3: Yes, California lawmakers moving forward with a bill to regulate
Speaker 3: companionship chat box. It requires reminders every three hours that
Speaker 3: the chatbots are not real.
Speaker 1: So first, there's several things I like about this. So
Speaker 1: you have a relationship with the chatbot that's obviously already
Speaker 1: like weird at a level of dystopian that we only
Speaker 1: could imagine just a few years ago, and that already happening,
Speaker 1: And it's already happening.
Speaker 2: And I know people who know people.
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody who's actually doing the relationship thing,
Speaker 1: but I know people who say they have friends who
Speaker 1: are like in some cases like lonely old farmers, which
Speaker 1: I find really disturbing, like the last sort of people
Speaker 1: you would expect that would you know, get emotionally attached
Speaker 1: to a chat bot. But anyway, it's so prevalent that
Speaker 1: the state of California felt like they needed to put
Speaker 1: in guardrails and step in and have a warning. Every
Speaker 1: two hours, No two and a half hours, No four hours,
Speaker 1: that's not long enough, Jack, Okay, three hours, will compromise.
Speaker 1: Every three hours that will warn you that you're talking
Speaker 1: to a computer, you weirdo.
Speaker 5: So there, I am trading intimacies. Oh that reminds me
Speaker 5: coming up later this hour out to fall in love.
Speaker 5: Science has figured it out. Wow, I'm trading intimacies with
Speaker 5: my sexy, sexy computer. And or I suppose a sex
Speaker 5: spot in the future, and the State of California is
Speaker 5: gonna say, we hate to interrupt your sexy chat with
Speaker 5: your computer, but like to remind you it's a computer
Speaker 5: and not a real human being. This message brought to
Speaker 5: you by Gavin Newsom and the State of California see
Speaker 5: in three hours.
Speaker 2: And the super majority Democratic Party. I would love to have.
Speaker 1: Been involved in that conversation for a number of reasons,
Speaker 1: concluding I'm as much as I'm an expert as anybody
Speaker 1: who made that decision, because nobody has any idea where
Speaker 1: any of this is going, So my opinion would have
Speaker 1: been as valid as anybody who you know, wrote that
Speaker 1: and voted for it. But first of all, you could
Speaker 1: start with, do we need the government jumping in and
Speaker 1: telling us.
Speaker 2: I know, you feel really good right now.
Speaker 1: And you're really enjoying yourself and you're being you're getting
Speaker 1: enjoyment at a deep, deep, human level, but we want
Speaker 1: to tell you it's fake because we're the state and
Speaker 1: that's our job.
Speaker 2: I don't know what I think about that.
Speaker 5: I mean, I think that's a great question. That's the
Speaker 5: thirty thousand foot question. I mean, as we've seen a
Speaker 5: steep decline in social belonging, just in general, friendships, civic organizations,
Speaker 5: church attendance, all of the guard rails of our behavior,
Speaker 5: or a.
Speaker 2: Lot of them have gone away.
Speaker 5: And so the state of California said, well, let's say
Speaker 5: you're an atheist with no friends. We'll tell you what's
Speaker 5: crazy and what's not.
Speaker 2: I don't want the government doing that.
Speaker 1: Well why wouldn't the So the government doesn't announce, you know,
Speaker 1: every three hours at a strip club, the music stops,
Speaker 1: the girls stop dancing, and announcement from the state comes up.
Speaker 1: These girls do not actually like you. They are going
Speaker 1: to pretend to love you, but they are getting paid
Speaker 1: to do that. Now, back to the hot chicks dancing.
Speaker 1: I mean, right, the state doesn't step in to let
Speaker 1: you know this is phony emotion.
Speaker 5: Right before we begin the fourth quarter of the forty
Speaker 5: nine ers game, we'd like to re mind you that
Speaker 5: these young gentlemen are actually rented millionaires and couldn't give
Speaker 5: a crap about the Bay Area beyond finding a nice
Speaker 5: place to live. They'll be gone the moment there contract
Speaker 5: has ended. Now back to the game, or.
Speaker 1: At the end of a lottery commercial that the state
Speaker 1: benefits from very few people, We'd like to remind you
Speaker 1: very few people actually win, and studies show that people
Speaker 1: who do win end up less happy than before.
Speaker 2: I mean, when is it the state's role to jump
Speaker 2: in on this? So there's that.
Speaker 1: Then the other part, if you're going to accept that
Speaker 1: they should, how did they come up with three hours?
Speaker 1: I would have loved to have heard that back and forth.
Speaker 2: I mean, that's hilarious.
Speaker 5: I mean, you don't want to interrupt people's intimacies with
Speaker 5: their computers too often because that'll be obnoxious.
Speaker 1: But if you wait five hours, they'll be so hooked
Speaker 1: there's no turning them around or something.
Speaker 5: Ye's say, this sweet spot here what do you think,
Speaker 5: Jim three. Okay, you know, there's part of me that
Speaker 5: thinks I don't really think this, but I've had this
Speaker 5: thought pop into my head that the state of California
Speaker 5: is Trumpian in that it proposes all this ridiculous crap
Speaker 5: to distract from the fact that now the bullet train
Speaker 5: and the tension time I'm sorry, the pension time bomb,
Speaker 5: and you know, a dozen of the soon to be
Speaker 5: incredibly even more expensive gas prices than the rest of it.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: So I'm reading another AI book. I'm fascinated by the
Speaker 1: whole thing. I think everybody should be. I think it's
Speaker 1: going to be a giant deal. But I do need
Speaker 1: to read my next book. I swore last night has
Speaker 1: got to be one that is the other side. And
Speaker 1: there are a lot of people on the other side
Speaker 1: that say it's not going to be that devastating to
Speaker 1: mankind or society. So I need to read one of
Speaker 1: those books next, because I've been leaning toward the people
Speaker 1: who think it's going to be a big deal. But anyway,
Speaker 1: here's the review of this book from Bill Gates. Guy
Speaker 1: aren Microsoft used to be the richest man in the
Speaker 1: world for a very very long time and spend a
Speaker 1: ton of is currently spending a ton of money on
Speaker 1: his own AI, you know, creation that can compete against chat,
Speaker 1: GPT and GROCK and all the others. Here's there's a
Speaker 1: review of the book in which he mentions the book.
Speaker 1: When people ask me about artificial intelligence, their questions often
Speaker 1: boil down to this, what should I be worried about?
Speaker 1: And how worried should I be? For the past year.
Speaker 1: This book came out a year and a half ago,
Speaker 1: which unfortunately is a little dated by AI standards, But
Speaker 1: this review is from December, so the review is only
Speaker 1: seven months old. For the past year, I've responded by
Speaker 1: telling them to read The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suliman.
Speaker 1: It's the book I recommend more than any other AI
Speaker 1: on AI to heads of state, business leaders, or anyone
Speaker 1: else who asks, because it offers something rare, a clear
Speaker 1: eyed view of both the extraordinary opportunities and genuine risks ahead.
Speaker 1: And I'm two chapters in and it's already fantastic. What
Speaker 1: sets this u bah blah blah blah blah. What sets
Speaker 1: this book apart from the others is Mustafa's insight that
Speaker 1: AI is only one part of an unprecedented convergence of
Speaker 1: sign typic breakthroughs happening at the same time. Gene editing,
Speaker 1: DNA synthesis, and other advances in biotechnology are racing forward
Speaker 1: in parallel with AI. As the title suggests, these changes
Speaker 1: are building like a wave far out at sea, invisible
Speaker 1: to many, but gathering force. Each one of these individual
Speaker 1: things could be game changing for mankind on its own. Obviously,
Speaker 1: this is supposed to be reassuring me. No, this is
Speaker 1: a scary book. Any of those obviously, gene editing, DNA synthesis,
Speaker 1: whatever that is, advances in biotechnology where you start screwing
Speaker 1: with food and cattle and all kinds of different sorts
Speaker 1: of things. Any of these could be life altering for Earth,
Speaker 1: each of them game changing. Together with AI, they're poised
Speaker 1: to reshape every aspect of society. And yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the first book where he's combined. Hey, AAI is the
Speaker 1: isn't the only thing out there. It's all these other things,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna come bind with AI to where countries
Speaker 1: or non state actors can alter crops.
Speaker 2: Maybe in ways that are great.
Speaker 1: They don't need much water but provide as much wheat,
Speaker 1: you know, twice as much wheat on half the water
Speaker 1: or whatever could be fantastic.
Speaker 2: But also Molio will.
Speaker 5: Soon be dealing with an obesity problem.
Speaker 1: But he also could develop some sort of a germ
Speaker 1: that will kill off wheat.
Speaker 2: And you, you know, let at.
Speaker 1: Least loosen Kansas and Nebraska if you're the Chinese or whatever.
Speaker 5: Yeah, if anybody needs me, I'll be in the fetal position.
Speaker 1: Oh God, you get into gene editing and all that
Speaker 1: sort of stuff. Just it boggles the mind. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to get further along in this book. And he
Speaker 1: so he started.
Speaker 2: I forget which company it was, but it's.
Speaker 1: The one that got bought by Microsoft and Bill Gates
Speaker 1: and he works, he had been working for him, but
Speaker 1: he talks many times, and Bill Gates actually says his
Speaker 1: review similar. Look, I'm an optimist. I've always been an
Speaker 1: optimist about technology. I've always believed that it's a positive outway.
Speaker 1: It's negatives blah blah blah. But not in this case.
Speaker 1: It's basically what he says, And he said, I hope
Speaker 1: I'm wrong. I'd love nothing more than two people look
Speaker 1: back on this book years from now and I was
Speaker 1: completely wrong.
Speaker 2: But I don't think so.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I feel like we're giving chimpanzee's handguns. I just
Speaker 5: I think it is a tool that we cannot handle.
Speaker 1: I think it's probably significantly worse than that. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: so I did adopt this. I heard Charlie Cook cerme
Speaker 1: National Reviews say this the other day, why he embraces
Speaker 1: technology as opposed to rejects it. I'm a guy who's
Speaker 1: always rejected technology. I may have changed my mind based
Speaker 1: on what he just said, on what he said the
Speaker 1: other day. He said, if it's gonna happen anyway, you
Speaker 1: might as well embrace it. There's no point in sitting
Speaker 1: around and complaining you wish the internet had an involved happened,
Speaker 1: and talk about all the ways that life would be
Speaker 1: better if it didn't. It did, and everybody's got it,
Speaker 1: and the same thing is with AI.
Speaker 2: It's coming.
Speaker 1: Non state actors are gonna have it, China's gonna have
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna have it. So the I wish this wouldn't happen,
Speaker 1: or it'd be better if it didn't, or sticking your
Speaker 1: head in the sand and pretending it's.
Speaker 2: Not doesn't do any good.
Speaker 5: No, there's no benefit in that whatsoever. So yeah, I
Speaker 5: think those are two different cases. I absolutely see the point.
Speaker 5: I think a lot of the times when I am
Speaker 5: complaining about the effects of the Internet, it's not some
Speaker 5: sort of denial that it's real, or it's an affirmative
Speaker 5: statement of values that I think are more important or
Speaker 5: activities that are more important and healthy than being on
Speaker 5: the internet. So I mean, I don't I do bemoan
Speaker 5: the fact that it exists, but it's it's a tangent
Speaker 5: to the fact that, look, it is an it's entertainment
Speaker 5: and information, but don't don't spend too much of your
Speaker 5: life on it or it will ruin you.
Speaker 1: Do you think life define life however you want, society,
Speaker 1: the country, whatever, is better because of the Internet or worse?
Speaker 5: Uh, in complete grade.
Speaker 2: I think worse. I mean, I know, I think I'm
Speaker 2: a minority on that.
Speaker 5: But no, no, I it's it's obviously a complicated picture.
Speaker 5: But the question you have to answer before you answer
Speaker 5: that question is by what standard are we gonna decide this?
Speaker 2: People? Is are a measure?
Speaker 1: Oh, I think the only measure. It's like the measure
Speaker 1: you should have for the government.
Speaker 2: And Paul's.
Speaker 1: What's the Thomas Jefferson phrase? You know, pursuit of happiness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's lessened our pursuit of happiness.
Speaker 5: I think it's our people happy, yeah, with their lives
Speaker 5: and yeah, oh that is absolutely undeniable. Yeah, people are
Speaker 5: less happy. I think it's the fruit of the tree
Speaker 5: of knowledge. Yeah, whenever, bona genesis, whenever.
Speaker 1: I actually have actually haven't debated anybody on this, but
Speaker 1: when I hear people debating on this, they always get
Speaker 1: the productivity and you know how much better email is
Speaker 1: and snail out? Okay, fine, great? Are people happier or
Speaker 1: less happy since the internet occurred? Uh?
Speaker 2: Less happy? So what difference does it make?
Speaker 5: Right, You've got to design, what the decide what the
Speaker 5: bottom line is. The interesting slash troubling part of this,
Speaker 5: and then we need to wrap it up is that
Speaker 5: the bottom line for the people in charge of this
Speaker 5: is the bottom line.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 5: They couldn't give a single crap about human happiness or
Speaker 5: children's anxiety or suicide or the rest of it. Some
Speaker 5: of them can on an individual basis, but it's about
Speaker 5: making money.
Speaker 1: Quick reminder that chat bought you're having a romantic talk
Speaker 1: with is not real.
Speaker 2: Thanks Uncle Gavin.
Speaker 1: Interested in your thoughts on any of this text line
Speaker 1: four one five two nine five k FTZ.
Speaker 4: Gladimir Putin, according to President Trump, vowing retaliation after a
Speaker 4: one hour phone call between the leaders, President Trump posting
Speaker 4: Putin did say and very strongly that he will have
Speaker 4: to respond to the recent attack and acknowledging it was
Speaker 4: not a conversation that will lead to immediate peace.
Speaker 1: And then what did you say to him, Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: since the ball is in your court on this entire war,
Speaker 1: did you say, we're putting together a package of sanctions
Speaker 1: that will devastate you. So I think maybe it'd be
Speaker 1: better if you didn't or anything that leads even within
Speaker 1: a million miles of a threat or pushback on the
Speaker 1: side of Ukraine.
Speaker 5: It will not lead to immediate peace. Yeah, he's going
Speaker 5: with there's no interest in piece whatsoever. It's it's these guys.
Speaker 5: Neither one of them will actually want piece. They hate
Speaker 5: each other. So what are you going to do?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 1: Are you gonna be on one side or the other?
Speaker 1: Is one option? I know for a lot of you
Speaker 1: think stay out of it is the option. I don't
Speaker 1: think so.
Speaker 5: So. The Wall Street General Editorial Board wants to know
Speaker 5: if President Trump, when will he finally take no for
Speaker 5: an answer. Senior Kremlin official Dmitri Medvedyev, also a frequent
Speaker 5: mouthpiece for Putin, talking about the so called peace talks quote,
Speaker 5: the negotiations in Istanbul are not aimed at compromise piece
Speaker 5: based on someone else's delusional terms. The goal is our
Speaker 5: swift victory and complete destruction of the neo Nazi regime.
Speaker 2: Right. That's one of the written.
Speaker 1: Pieces for the so called ceasefire that have to be met,
Speaker 1: the elimination of the Nazis. Okay, fine, all the Nazis
Speaker 1: are gone, because what the hell does that mean? But
Speaker 1: you have to make Russia the official language in Ukraine
Speaker 1: is one of their demands. For instance, they pretend they
Speaker 1: didn't take any children, so Ukraine wanting kids back.
Speaker 2: We didn't take any kids. What are you talking about?
Speaker 5: So that's not part of the deal, right, right, Ah,
Speaker 5: it's clear that vlad Putin, It's pretty clear to me anyway.
Speaker 2: And the.
Speaker 5: Molus in Iran have decided. Trump is so proud of
Speaker 5: his ability to make deals that we're just gonna keep
Speaker 5: telling him there's a deal out there, but never come
Speaker 5: to one. That's what it seems like to me. I mean,
Speaker 5: because the talks with Iran are going nowhere. There have
Speaker 5: been a couple announcements from the White House that we're
Speaker 5: getting close. We're getting close. They're still saying uranium enrichment
Speaker 5: is the key to our nuclear program. The the Ayatola
Speaker 5: himself said that in a televised speech, the rude and
Speaker 5: arrogant leaders of America repeatedly demanded, we should not have
Speaker 5: a nuclear program. Who are you to decide whether Iran
Speaker 5: should have enrichment? Well, the answer is that everybody knows
Speaker 5: in Richmond's path through nuclear bomb. You don't need it
Speaker 5: for a convention for you know, energy programs. But they
Speaker 5: keep sending Steve Whitkoff to negotiate. I just I don't
Speaker 5: think there are deals to be made here.
Speaker 1: We may have taken a step toward the greatest whizzing
Speaker 1: contest in world history.
Speaker 5: Oh my, plus science tells you how to fall in love.
Speaker 5: Oh that's nice love and whizzing coming up? You?
Speaker 2: Ah, what are you? Peep? You brought it, don't you
Speaker 2: Ooh to me? You brought it up.
Speaker 7: Armstrong and Geeddy, Elon and I left on a great note.
Speaker 7: We were texting one another, you know, happy texts. You know, Monday,
Speaker 7: and then and then yesterday, you know, twenty four hours
Speaker 7: later he doesn't want eighty and he comes out and
Speaker 7: opposed the bill. And it surprised me. Frankly, I think
Speaker 7: he's flat wrong. I think he's he's way off on this,
Speaker 7: and I've told him as much, and I've said it
Speaker 7: publicly and privately. I'm very consistent in that. But am
Speaker 7: I concerned about the effective this on the midterms?
Speaker 4: I'm not.
Speaker 7: Let me tell you why, because when the big beautiful
Speaker 7: bill is done and signed in a law, every single
Speaker 7: American is going to do better.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll see that Speaker Johnson saying, Hey, I'm friends
Speaker 1: with Elon, but I think he's wrong. So it started
Speaker 1: quite tepid, the Elon backing away, and I thought it
Speaker 1: was way.
Speaker 5: Over disagreeing, very gentleman.
Speaker 1: I thought it was way over blown. Last week, I
Speaker 1: the guy was wrong or or I was right, but
Speaker 1: the people who guessed where it was growing were right
Speaker 1: were right. AnyWho.
Speaker 2: So elon the last two days he's amped it up.
Speaker 2: Each day.
Speaker 1: He went from forty eight hours ago from what the
Speaker 1: hellacious abomination or whatever he called it, disgusting abomination.
Speaker 2: Then to yesterday kill the bill.
Speaker 1: Kill the bill all day long, urging Republican senators to
Speaker 1: vote against the bill. Now, Donald Trump, sitting with the
Speaker 1: leader of Germany and the Oval Office, ask about the relationship,
Speaker 1: said this, I've.
Speaker 8: Always liked Elon, and yeah, I can understand why he's upset.
Speaker 8: Remember he was here for a long time. He saw
Speaker 8: a man who was very happy when he stood behind
Speaker 8: the Oval desk, and even with the black guy. I said,
Speaker 8: do you want a little makeup, We'll get you little Mecca.
Speaker 8: But he said no, I don't think so, which is interesting.
Speaker 2: And very nice. He wants to be.
Speaker 8: Who he is, so you could make that stay so too.
Speaker 1: I guess he said that's enough. So he said I
Speaker 1: Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know
Speaker 1: if we will anymore, which is I've been following Trump.
Speaker 1: We've been following Trump for a long time. That's the
Speaker 1: first part of the turn before you go full on
Speaker 1: scorched earth.
Speaker 2: I don't know if we will anymore.
Speaker 1: He hasn't said anything bad about me personally, which we
Speaker 1: all know that is the line you cross, but I'm
Speaker 1: sure that'll be next.
Speaker 2: I'm very disappointed.
Speaker 1: I've helped Elon and not a lot if Elon makes
Speaker 1: any comment, which he will as again, Wall Street Journal
Speaker 1: called these two of the most powerful men on planet Earth.
Speaker 1: They both have the ability. I mean, they've done it
Speaker 1: in the past with a lot of high level people.
Speaker 1: They both have the ability to go farther than anybody
Speaker 1: I've ever known in my life would ever go in
Speaker 1: terms of insulting somebody.
Speaker 5: Well, they are both incredibly powerful, but they are both
Speaker 5: incredibly under disciplined. Yeah, I mean, I can I can
Speaker 5: say plenty of people are the most people of powerful
Speaker 5: people on Earth who would not utter a syllable that
Speaker 5: they had not carefully considered.
Speaker 1: Or would never personally attack someone someone even an opponent,
Speaker 1: let alone of somebody on your side. But we've seen
Speaker 1: Trump do it over and over and over again, and
Speaker 1: Elon is quite undisciplined in this. I think there's a
Speaker 1: chance this blows up into the biggest story of all
Speaker 1: I mean, I could imagine some crazy, crazy stuff coming
Speaker 1: out of posts between Trump and Elon by the end
Speaker 1: of the day or certainly by the end of the week.
Speaker 5: Right right, His rockets.
Speaker 1: Blow up all the time. He's not a very good engineer,
Speaker 1: I've been told, you know. And then just just it
Speaker 1: explodes from there.
Speaker 5: The other day, Trump was blasting the head of the
Speaker 5: Federalist Society, which recommended Kavanaugh and Amy, Connie Barrett and
Speaker 5: Neil Gorse, that you've been absolutely wonderful justices because now
Speaker 5: some of their appointees have been upholding the Constitution, telling
Speaker 5: Trump no to some of his plans. That's my point
Speaker 5: of view, anyway, And Trump said, of I can't remember
Speaker 5: the guy's name, but he said, was it derelict or
Speaker 5: scumbag or reprobate?
Speaker 2: It's one of those words.
Speaker 5: He said, he's a reprobate and he probably doesn't even
Speaker 5: love America. Right, You're gonna get the head of the Federalists,
Speaker 5: the co founder of the Federalists. You're gonna get that
Speaker 5: from Trump toward Elon at some point, and Elon is
Speaker 5: not is going to say something sober. Yes, Michael, I'm
Speaker 5: picturing Trump saying, who names their child? X?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I could be all kinds.
Speaker 1: Of hell, hiy fair criticism. I heard he has a
Speaker 1: drug problem, whatever the hell? And then Elon will not
Speaker 1: hold back tall. So the George Carlin of me in
Speaker 1: me that just watches the world and is amused, is
Speaker 1: really looking forward to it the I want us to
Speaker 1: be a successful nation. Part of me is not so excited.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I've got a bit of a feeling of sad
Speaker 5: resignation on my shoulders at this point, like to hear
Speaker 5: it described. So I would like to apologize to the
Speaker 5: American people. Okay, there's not a single chance it would
Speaker 5: be idiotic to launch you into the whole science and
Speaker 5: falling in love thing now. We don't even have a
Speaker 5: fraction of the time left that we need. Why don't
Speaker 5: we do it as part of the armstrong and get
Speaker 5: you on demand? I'm sorry. One more thing podcast?
Speaker 2: Cool? That sounds good. Give me the tease.
Speaker 5: If you This is how to fall in love and
Speaker 5: it can be accomplished in an hour. Haven't you and
Speaker 5: another person you've hit it off, you like each other,
Speaker 5: you'd kind of like for it to go somewhere.
Speaker 2: I can have you in love in an hour. But doesn't.
Speaker 2: Hasn't the way it's been working been fine for people? No?
Speaker 5: No, no, no, oh my god, you're a reprobate who
Speaker 5: probably doesn't love America. No, it's you know, circumstances can
Speaker 5: intervene and things can happen, and something very very promising
Speaker 5: went sideways and it shouldn't have. Besides, it's the go
Speaker 5: go twenty first century. Who has weeks and months to
Speaker 5: fall in love? This is actually, you know, or making
Speaker 5: light and I'm being very vague. I found it a
Speaker 5: very very interesting dissection. Is an unfortunate term, but that's
Speaker 5: what popped into my head of how true intimacy is
Speaker 5: built and you can like supercharge the process and save
Speaker 5: a lot of time.
Speaker 1: Wow, do you want to save time? Or is the
Speaker 1: gradual process one of the greatest things that ever happens
Speaker 1: in your entire life?
Speaker 5: But and it has its own advantages that we just
Speaker 5: don't sense because we're humans and we're dope that is possible.
Speaker 1: And then you've got the story we started the hour
Speaker 1: with where the government of California has decided to stay
Speaker 1: in And if you're enjoying falling in love with your chatbot,
Speaker 1: every three hours in the state of California will remind
Speaker 1: you on your screen. Remember you're talking to a computer.
Speaker 1: Do not be happy now as you were. The more
Speaker 1: I think about the Elon v. Trump feel, the more.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be.
Speaker 1: I just I could go go back and dig up
Speaker 1: examples of things they've each said to people that are
Speaker 1: just so over the top. But if you get it
Speaker 1: being toward the president from the richest man in the
Speaker 1: world or vice versa, I mean.
Speaker 2: It takes on a whole I mean him saying things about.
Speaker 1: I don't know, you know, what's his name, Carson the doctor,
Speaker 1: or Marco Rubi or whoever's attack you know, Rosie O'Donnell.
Speaker 1: That's one thing, but the world's richest man who does
Speaker 1: not need to hold back for any reason whatsoever, and
Speaker 1: the sorts of things Elon might say about so.
Speaker 2: So Trump said, well, let's throw this up, you know,
Speaker 2: go ahead.
Speaker 5: But it's it's not it's less what he says than
Speaker 5: what he does. That's the part that's got me feeling
Speaker 5: oh ish, trumping the levers of the power of the
Speaker 5: executive branch to lash back hello at SpaceX or Twitter
Speaker 5: or whatever.
Speaker 2: In a way that may be.
Speaker 5: Unpalatable to the courts and the American people in two
Speaker 5: thirds of the Senate. If you hear me hinting, so.
Speaker 1: This this might be what kicks it off.
Speaker 2: Or Trump said this.
Speaker 8: And you know, Elon's upset because we took the ev
Speaker 8: mandate and you know, which was a lot of money
Speaker 8: for electric vehicles, and you know they're having a hard
Speaker 8: time the electric vehicles, and I want to say, it
Speaker 8: makes the point.
Speaker 1: So he's already claiming that Elon is against the bill
Speaker 1: because it financially damages him.
Speaker 5: Not a principal stance against overspending and suffocating debt. No,
Speaker 5: it is a selfish motivent.
Speaker 1: Which Elon has been talking about four years and talking about, hey, look,
Speaker 1: our interest payments are now greater than what we spend
Speaker 1: on the military.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1: Oh, one hundred percent defendable positions on the bill, and
Speaker 1: Trump claims it's just because it's hurting you financially. That
Speaker 1: would get my hair up, That would make me angry.
Speaker 1: I could believe it's both too. I mean, Elon can
Speaker 1: possibly be pleased at the credits. No, no, but he
Speaker 1: has been talking about the debt and how we it's
Speaker 1: unsustainable and it's going to ruin the country for years.
Speaker 1: So I don't think he's gonna react well to that statement.
Speaker 1: That just happened in the last forty five minutes. So
Speaker 1: you know, Elon, I'm sure he's changing the diaper on
Speaker 1: one baby while he teaches another kid how to ride
Speaker 1: a bike, and then he's up in another one with
Speaker 1: algebra homework here on the last week of school. And
Speaker 1: you know he's very busy with his thirteen kids. But
Speaker 1: as soon as he hears what Trump said, he might
Speaker 1: fire back something. And then it's on ladies and gentlemen, truth,
Speaker 1: social versus Twitter. Oh boy, let it fly. We will
Speaker 1: finish strong next.
Speaker 5: Things are getting weird, and they getting weird fast. Are
Speaker 5: strong yet?
Speaker 1: So every day after the show, Joe and I joke
Speaker 1: about how bad the show was today, and maybe we
Speaker 1: can do better tomorrow. So our executive producer, Hansen, said,
Speaker 1: make a song in that theme, like it's seventies soft rock.
Speaker 6: Let's try to put this one behind.
Speaker 2: Just tamp down the shame. AI.
Speaker 5: Obviously, maybe we do better tomorrow.
Speaker 2: We can only hope unless we continue to be so lame.
Speaker 1: Then a seventies guitar solo after a seventies drum fell.
Speaker 2: Please give the drummer some love. Yeah, if you're old enough. AI.
Speaker 1: But I was just talking to our boss, Steve, who's
Speaker 1: roughly our age, and he said he couldn't believe how
Speaker 1: dead on seventies rock music this was.
Speaker 2: Here comes the chorus, Ladies and germs being strong, and.
Speaker 1: Yet show.
Speaker 6: Just tamp down on the shad, tamping down a shame. Now,
Speaker 6: maybe we do better to love unless we contu being so.
Speaker 5: This is uncanny and franky and disturbing from the Elton
Speaker 5: John esque A couple of interesting twists on an obvious
Speaker 5: court Forgison to the timber of his voice is very
Speaker 5: elton esque to the production is exactly right. Not to
Speaker 5: geek out on you, but just the way it's mixed,
Speaker 5: and how loud the drums are and the amount of
Speaker 5: reverb and the lead guitar it's all out of like
Speaker 5: seventies m M production.
Speaker 2: It's disturbing.
Speaker 1: Man, I feel like it picked up some sticks and
Speaker 1: Peter Frampton and all kinds of different stuff from the second.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah yeah, a little sprinkle of this spread that
Speaker 5: just distilled it down.
Speaker 1: And dos I want to be guitar player? It makes
Speaker 1: me want to cut off my hands, Like what is
Speaker 1: going on here?
Speaker 5: I don't, I don't know. I really I don't think
Speaker 5: I am an old man yelling at clouds. I really don't.
Speaker 5: My animal instincts are danger danger, you know what. I
Speaker 5: don't think I've ever put it that plainly.
Speaker 1: That your animal instincts are yeah, yeah, My instinctive reaction
Speaker 1: to this is this is bad.
Speaker 5: This is a threat. That's as simple as that. I've
Speaker 5: found various ways to uh, to phrase that concern, but
Speaker 5: that's that's that's the.
Speaker 2: Description I can give.
Speaker 5: It's an instinctive revulsion.
Speaker 1: Well, I mentioned that book I'm reading about AI and
Speaker 1: I'll have more of it than I get through the book.
Speaker 1: But he he says we should feel that way, and
Speaker 1: uh and not and not and not not feel that
Speaker 1: way because something big is coming and we gotta think
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: So you know, you know what.
Speaker 5: I'm reminded though of what finally helped me enjoy sports more.
Speaker 5: Right after clip fifteen, Michael, gimme clip fifteen. Give it
Speaker 5: to me for the first overtime. Here's Pectavid out for
Speaker 5: Deuchen Hopkins out of the point, who sharp Chent Hopkins?
Speaker 2: Wave it? Here's Pectavid. Listen to that cry of Flint
Speaker 2: came one. Oh.
Speaker 5: I've been rooting hard for the Oilers. I'm a I'm
Speaker 5: a last couple of years a big Oilers fan. I
Speaker 5: love playoff hockey so much. Do respect to basketball fans.
Speaker 5: It is if you understand the game, there's no comparison,
Speaker 5: because the decisive play could happen in the first minute,
Speaker 5: the twenty third minute, or the last minute. Every minute
Speaker 5: is critically important in a hockey game, as opposed to basketball,
Speaker 5: where there's a three and a half quarter exhibition and
Speaker 5: then they play hard for four minutes. Plus they play
Speaker 5: on ice, which is cool.
Speaker 2: Yes, it's on beice, Michael. It's a good point the
Speaker 2: NBA or the hockey.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so it's got that whole soccer thing there with
Speaker 1: you know, s score is such a big deal. Listen
Speaker 1: to that crowd though. Wow, that was something so obviously
Speaker 1: it was in Canada. They haven't in Canada, you know,
Speaker 1: they hockey means so much of them. They have won
Speaker 1: the Stanley Cup.
Speaker 2: In thirty two years, thirty three years.
Speaker 5: Yeah, the whole country is beside themselves rooting for Edmonton.
Speaker 5: So anyway, playoff hockey.
Speaker 1: Oh.
Speaker 5: What I started to say was the only thing that
Speaker 5: comforts me is I watch mankind slide into the abyss.
Speaker 2: Is that just like watching.
Speaker 5: Sports, I don't actually have any effect on the outcome. Well,
Speaker 5: I mean we have a teeny tiny effect doing this show,
Speaker 5: but not really the great tidal forces that are sweeping
Speaker 5: humankind toward you know whatever AI powered droid nightmare.
Speaker 2: It's gonna happen, whether I like it or not.
Speaker 1: I was thinking about that last night, about you know
Speaker 1: why I'm so fascinated by this and I just can't
Speaker 1: get enough information about A part of is that I
Speaker 1: would like to have some hand in guiding my kids
Speaker 1: to how that what the hell their lives.
Speaker 2: Are going to be like?
Speaker 1: If I can get an inkling that their lives could
Speaker 1: be more different from mine than has ever happened in
Speaker 1: one generation in human history, in fact, that I think
Speaker 1: that might guaranteed to be true.
Speaker 5: I think that's inevitable. Yeah, I think you've nailed it. Yep.
Speaker 2: Wow, think about.
Speaker 5: That well, I think their lives may be more different
Speaker 5: from yours than yours were from the founding fathers.
Speaker 2: Wow. I'm strong, I'm strong, You're ready.
Speaker 5: Strong.
Speaker 2: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty.

Speaker 3: dinner last night where I wore a shirt covered in
Speaker 3: his face. Wow, wats of his face?

Speaker 2: thought for me. I don't want to let that lay
Speaker 2: with repeating it.
Speaker 1: My kids' lives are going to be more different from mine.
Speaker 1: That has happened than any generation in human history, and
Speaker 1: I think that is probably true.
Speaker 5: My final thought is I watched the video that a
Speaker 5: guy made to distribute to his parents and grandparents, hipping
Speaker 5: them to how good AI is and how this isn't real,
Speaker 5: This isn't real, This isn't real, and this isn't real.
Speaker 5: I think it's really great and important and cool, and
Speaker 5: it's at Armstrong egeeddy dot com if you want to
Speaker 5: zap it around.
Speaker 2: Is that the one we've got at Katie's corner.
Speaker 1: Yes maybe yes, yes, Armstrong and Getty wrapping about other

Speaker 5: Perhaps you also know that hot dog is my favorite
Speaker 5: meat and that was none of that did not come
Speaker 5: from a dog.
Speaker 2: But damn it, let's not play games with this. This
Speaker 2: is the United States of America, for God's sake. Lie
Speaker 2: after lie after lie. Do not listen to the lies.
Speaker 5: This is what will happen to you.
Speaker 2: Necessary. Okay, this is crazy. Yep, that's enough of that.
Speaker 2: I thank you. Have a terrific day, Armstrong and Getty.
