Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George
Speaker 1: Washington Broadcast Center.
Speaker 2: Jack Armstrong and Joe Katty, I'm strong and Getty and
Speaker 2: now he Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 3: With our leader up there, my hero da Gladiator. We're
Speaker 3: gonna bring America back together, one real American at a time.
Speaker 2: Brother, I'm not supposed to be here tonight. I'm supposed
Speaker 2: to be here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we have a celebrity death breaking news. Hunk Hulgan
Speaker 1: has been given a sleeper hold by God. He is
Speaker 1: dead at age seventy one.
Speaker 4: Ah, it's unfortunate way to phrase.
Speaker 1: It, but well, was that the clip for was that
Speaker 1: the clip from the convention where he pulled his shirt off?
Speaker 1: I don't think it was that was that was the
Speaker 1: big moment. I was in the hall at the time,
Speaker 1: and I knew he was close to death then because
Speaker 1: he really struggled to tear apart in that like obviously
Speaker 1: very flimsy t shirt, to tear it off his chest
Speaker 1: when he showed that he was wearing his tank top
Speaker 1: and Trump and blah blah blah, hul covid and uh.
Speaker 2: Well, wondery struggled. He was less than a year from
Speaker 2: the grave. Right, he's seventy one years old. He's dead.
Speaker 1: It says of cardiac arrest, any gonna be And he
Speaker 1: mentioned at any point of a lifetime of steroid use
Speaker 1: in any role that played, perhaps in is uh untimely passing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you're you're quicker than the average person to go
Speaker 4: into condemning and s talking to dead as people usually
Speaker 4: observe like five minutes of respect. So yes, I think
Speaker 4: we'll get to the steroids at some point. Just as
Speaker 4: a quick aside, I have a text string with a
Speaker 4: couple of my former bandmates and we still play and
Speaker 4: record now again, but that we just if a prominent
Speaker 4: musician dies, we just send the picture to each other.
Speaker 4: Then it's like, oh no, really, well, Rich just sent
Speaker 4: both Chuck Mangioni and Hulk Hogan. Chuck Mangoni died, Well,
Speaker 4: he texted the picture anyway, I said, musicians okay, alright,
Speaker 4: So I said, I said musicians only please, and he replied,
Speaker 4: don't tell me you didn't hear Hulk Hogan's Hulkamania song. Right,
Speaker 4: I was looking at his Wikipedia and years ago, if
Speaker 4: we could come up.
Speaker 2: With the Hulkamania song, that would be fantastic.
Speaker 1: Here's act what he did occupations it has musician Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 1: I did not realize that he also would sex up
Speaker 1: your wife if you if you ask him to. According
Speaker 1: to that that video that came out, is that the
Speaker 1: Bubba the love spoech Yes, yes, where Bubba the Love
Speaker 1: Sponge is just walking around in the bedroom. Well, the
Speaker 1: Hulk gives it to his old lady odd lifestyle, I
Speaker 1: would say, I.
Speaker 2: Would say so, Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 1: Well, here's a little uh something from the past to
Speaker 1: when he was mostly known as a wrestler nationwide. He
Speaker 1: was the biggest name in all of wrestling for a while,
Speaker 1: right way way way back in the day.
Speaker 2: Well, one of the Biggs names in entertainment. Yeah, here
Speaker 2: we go.
Speaker 1: Hogan made his way to w w E and McMahon
Speaker 1: knew he had struck gold.
Speaker 2: The date was the.
Speaker 5: Twenty third of January nineteen eighty four, and it was
Speaker 5: Hulk Hogan going off against the Iron Sheet and the
Speaker 5: joint was crazy and I had a feeling that fans
Speaker 5: knew something big was about to wear.
Speaker 2: Rough Hay cut up. He's done for the Wait a second,
Speaker 2: that's because there more, Michael. That's the iron chic. That's
Speaker 2: not George Foreman Beaten Frasier.
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is the people that run the
Speaker 1: WWF decided they needed a different star, so orchestrated the
Speaker 1: result where Hulk Hogan would be the new winner. I
Speaker 1: mean correct, Why did you act like that was some
Speaker 1: sort of upset sporting event. That's pretty funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but that's the trappings of the thing.
Speaker 4: He became the new fan favorite, the new star, but
Speaker 4: he wasn't a he beat down that evil probably Muslim
Speaker 4: iron chic.
Speaker 1: I've never been into the wrestling, I just barely know
Speaker 1: anything about it. But Hulk Hogan wasn't a heel, was
Speaker 1: he? He was a good guy, isn't he?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, he was a hero mostly.
Speaker 4: There may have been some plot twists momentarily, because they'll
Speaker 4: make you a bad guy briefly then bring it.
Speaker 2: It's like a soap opera. It's very much like a
Speaker 2: soap opera.
Speaker 1: By the way, Fox is going wall to wall on
Speaker 1: Hulk or Hulk Hogan coverage. They're now showing clips from
Speaker 1: which Rocky did Rocky fight Hulk Hogan. I guess that
Speaker 1: was Rocky three when he was kind of was getting
Speaker 1: through his various bouts to get ready to fight mister t.
Speaker 1: But that's a movie full of big time talent. But
Speaker 1: the brightest moment for that franchise, right, Rocky had to
Speaker 1: fight Hulk Hogan. At one point in Rocky three. I
Speaker 1: had a brush of great with greatness with Hulk Hogan
Speaker 1: at Sturgis, the motorcycle rally back in the day. I
Speaker 1: pulled my big Harley into a spot next to a
Speaker 1: big muscle dude in a tank top and he got
Speaker 1: off his bike and I got off my bike and
Speaker 1: holy crap, it was Hulk Hogan.
Speaker 2: And I said, oh, okay, what's up man. I chook
Speaker 2: hands with him and knees. How are you doing? Brother?
Speaker 2: He clapped me on the back and we both walked
Speaker 2: off to the bar.
Speaker 4: The Great Terry Bully had to look up his real name,
Speaker 4: Terry jane O Leah.
Speaker 1: He's seventy one years old. He just got married eighteen
Speaker 1: months ago to some woman, so they didn't have a
Speaker 1: very long marriage. Sky Daly is her name. Sounds like
Speaker 1: a performer name. But in a minute now, I wanted
Speaker 1: to judge. Actually I am the first to judge. You
Speaker 1: just judged, yell, literally judge a lot. He would by
Speaker 1: a lot of different names throughout his life. I didn't
Speaker 1: realize this, Hollywood Hogan, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, Hulk Boulder, Hulk Hogan,
Speaker 1: which most of us known by Hulk Machine, Mister America,
Speaker 1: Sterling Golden, Terry Boulder, the Super and Destroyer, all his
Speaker 1: names at various points in his career. Sterling Golden, he
Speaker 1: was uh six foot seven, three hundred pounds.
Speaker 2: That's a big guy. That is a big dude.
Speaker 1: I don't remember him being that giant when we got
Speaker 1: off the motorcycle, So I wonder if there's any chance
Speaker 1: that's an exaggeration. It's the you'd hate to see a
Speaker 1: professional wrestler exaggerate their size, but.
Speaker 2: Or grow it artificially. I don't remember being that big.
Speaker 1: I think that'll actually be a pretty interesting conversation if
Speaker 1: he gets into a lifetime of steroid use and whether
Speaker 1: or not that contributed to him dying of a heart
Speaker 1: atack at age seventy one, because he's obviously very fit
Speaker 1: looking for a seventy one year old. He did struggle
Speaker 1: to rip off his T shirt, but then he did
Speaker 1: his poses. And I mean not every seventy one year old,
Speaker 1: not every seventy year.
Speaker 2: Old books like that. Oh no, indeed, yeah, or every
Speaker 2: twenty five year old for that matter. How do you miss?
Speaker 1: How did he end up being such a big part
Speaker 1: of the conservative circles just because he is a Republican?
Speaker 4: Oh gosh, I guess how long has that been? He
Speaker 4: is very much a recognized icon of working class middle America.
Speaker 2: I seem an entertainers. Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Michael Left.
Speaker 2: Is this him singing? Is this a song about him?
Speaker 6: He doesn't sing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a good message, America, keep it going.
Speaker 2: So what is this sort of listening to? This is
Speaker 2: a theme thong when he goes into the ring.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, so when he walks into the ring, they
Speaker 1: played this I'm a real American Hulk Hogan's theme. He
Speaker 1: started wearing the do rag when he began losing his hair,
Speaker 1: as a lot of people do hats or do rags,
Speaker 1: but he still had the blonde locks and took the
Speaker 1: time to dye the goat he blonde too, to hang
Speaker 1: onto his blonde hair well into his seventies, not that
Speaker 1: well into his seventies. He's seventy one and he's dead
Speaker 1: as a hammer. But uh, how did that videotape come
Speaker 1: out with Bubba the Love Sponge.
Speaker 2: That's that.
Speaker 1: That was an inglorious end. I mean that that's not
Speaker 1: what you want out there.
Speaker 4: No, it was the grubbiness and the oddness that struck
Speaker 4: one more than any of the.
Speaker 1: Second Oh it's not sexy. There's nothing sexy about that.
Speaker 1: I remember he's so he's in bed with Bubba Love
Speaker 1: Sponge's wife. Why did this become a I don't even
Speaker 1: remember why this became a court case, and.
Speaker 2: Now there was a lawsuit.
Speaker 4: I can't remember who was swing home, but I'm thinking
Speaker 4: of it was a huge deal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if a.
Speaker 4: Famous wrastler is is administering the love hold to my wife,
Speaker 4: I'm either gonna be watching it because that's how I
Speaker 4: get my jolly, I'm going to be doing something else.
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna be in the house. Well, that was
Speaker 2: the weird part of it.
Speaker 4: Bob was just kind of wandering in and out of
Speaker 4: the room like he can't find his glasses while Hulk
Speaker 4: Hogan is banging his wife.
Speaker 1: And at some point, I mean Hulk stops and is
Speaker 1: burping and says, I ate way too much for dinner tonight,
Speaker 1: which I thought, what kind.
Speaker 2: Of a deal. What is going on here?
Speaker 1: Is anybody interested in this being sexy?
Speaker 2: Right? Right? Excuse me? Guess I just kid? Where do
Speaker 2: I leave my book? Honey? The one I was reading? Oh,
Speaker 2: the living room?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 2: Okay, as you were? Where is exactly remote control? I
Speaker 2: should tether it to my arm.
Speaker 1: Good Lord Hanson says he's disgusted by this obituary that
Speaker 1: you're doing. Hanson, our executive producer, is disgusted by your obituary.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. Hanson grew up iylightsotelights.
Speaker 1: He got the best one I've heard either. Hulk was
Speaker 1: a big part of his youth in the Midwest. I Uh,
Speaker 1: I think I was too old. I think I'm missed
Speaker 1: the Hulk mania. I certainly was never a Hulk maniac.
Speaker 1: I would never have described myself that way.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I just thought the whole rattling thing was stupid.
Speaker 4: And now I get it. I get it more than
Speaker 4: I used to.
Speaker 1: We have Well, he's a two time WWE Hall of Famer.
Speaker 1: What does that mean.
Speaker 4: Well, it's like winning an oscar. Honestly, he was an entertainer,
Speaker 4: and he was the entertainer of the year in his
Speaker 4: field A couple of times that's exactly what it means.
Speaker 2: Okay, here's another clip.
Speaker 6: He wrote, your hero, everybody's hero.
Speaker 3: The character of Hulk Hogan is impassable. It always has been.
Speaker 3: There are no holes in this character at all. The
Speaker 3: Hulk Hogan character has brought me, Terry Bowley up and
Speaker 3: made me a much better person.
Speaker 1: Hulk Hogan wouldn't be Hulk Holgan without w w E.
Speaker 1: But I don't think WWE would be where it is
Speaker 1: today without Hulk Hogan. For you, no doubt that kind
Speaker 1: of relationship. I can name like two of the big
Speaker 1: time wrestlers throughout history, and Hulk Hogan's won.
Speaker 4: Them right, right, And I think that's a nice cap
Speaker 4: on this overly long retrospective look back that's redundant.
Speaker 2: At the great hul Cogan. What do you think Bubba
Speaker 2: the Love Sponge thought when he heard the apparently folks?
Speaker 1: Yes, what do you think Bubba the Love Sponge, who
Speaker 1: was a disc jockey thought when he heard the news
Speaker 1: that Hulk Hogan is dead?
Speaker 4: I'm sure his feelings were complicated, John, Yes, what kind
Speaker 4: of question is answered?
Speaker 2: I guess so his reaction with complex emotions.
Speaker 4: Okay, Hanson's coming up, all right, All right, coming up
Speaker 4: inside the world of free.
Speaker 2: Stuff for hot people. Are you hot? Stay with us?
Speaker 4: Are you hot? You can get free stuff. Stay tuned
Speaker 4: for the free stuff for hot people.
Speaker 2: What is that?
Speaker 4: So?
Speaker 2: I was intrigued since.
Speaker 4: Jack and I have both been warming up to artificial intelligence, specifically,
Speaker 4: we both happen to be using chat GPT. But and
Speaker 4: we've been talking about how we never Google anything any
Speaker 4: more exactly, although on my phone sometimes I won't go
Speaker 4: to chat GPT, I'll just.
Speaker 2: Do it in Safari.
Speaker 4: I got an iPhone, and for instance, I just googled
Speaker 4: what is the most visited site in London.
Speaker 2: I'm going to London later in the year. Website or
Speaker 2: tourist site, A tourist site.
Speaker 4: Okay, anyway, I'll get back to that in a second.
Speaker 4: But I was intrigued by the headline the Wall Street
Speaker 4: Journalist ailing killing Google search. It might be doing the opposite.
Speaker 4: The world's dominant search engine is so far adapting.
Speaker 2: Well to the AI age.
Speaker 4: AI up starts were supposed to lay siege to Google
Speaker 4: search engine dominant.
Speaker 2: So far the defense is winning.
Speaker 1: I'm using Google like a tenth as much as I
Speaker 1: did up until you told me about chat GPT.
Speaker 4: Right do you search? Do you just type anything into
Speaker 4: the info box though on your phone without going to
Speaker 4: the chat GPT app?
Speaker 1: I guess sometimes, But man if I have a question
Speaker 1: of any any halft, I go to the chat GPT app.
Speaker 1: I've got it on the front page. Now I use
Speaker 1: it for everything.
Speaker 2: Anyway, let's see Bubba.
Speaker 4: The Open AI, for instance, is hoping people will skip
Speaker 4: the search box and ask its chatbot f answers instead.
Speaker 4: But one of Google's lines of defense has been its
Speaker 4: AI Overview tool, whereby users can see answers generated by
Speaker 4: Gemini AI hovering above their traditional search results, and the
Speaker 4: CEO of Alphabet Sundar pitch I, said Wednesday that this
Speaker 4: tool has now over two billion monthly users. It's growing
Speaker 4: in that that the search impressions. The number of advertiser
Speaker 4: links that show up in searches even if they aren't clicked,
Speaker 4: grew by forty nine percent in the year since the
Speaker 4: overviews were launched, So people.
Speaker 2: Are rewarming to googling things.
Speaker 1: That's interesting. Well, chat GPT's use is doubled in the
Speaker 1: last eight months, so who knows where it's gonna go. Yeah,
Speaker 1: But getting back to the Google thing. As a guy
Speaker 1: who knows something about the advertising business. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of those gains, or the value of them, are
Speaker 1: going to be illusory, because.
Speaker 2: Here I am. The AI overview is quite nice.
Speaker 4: It includes the most visited tourist attraction London as the
Speaker 4: British Museum. I can go into greater depth, and it
Speaker 4: does have some links like Viator, top London Tourist Attractions,
Speaker 4: trip Advisor, City Wonders, London Theater, Wikipedia, blah blah blah.
Speaker 4: But will people click on those sponsored sites having gotten
Speaker 4: the basic answer they wanted from the AI. I predicted
Speaker 4: the answer will be no, in a way that will
Speaker 4: put off advertisers and lower rates at least.
Speaker 1: Like I like yesterday, I was wondering about Cole Bear's
Speaker 1: ratings versus Johnny Carson, and I ask a very basic
Speaker 1: question of chat GPT and it laid out an answer
Speaker 1: to me in a usable way that was just amazing.
Speaker 2: I'm just stunning.
Speaker 1: To me, It's like somebody wrote a paper for exactly
Speaker 1: the question you.
Speaker 2: Had, right and spent weeks prepared. Yeah, yeah, it's amazing
Speaker 2: to me. Yeah, yeah, agreed. Oh and then there's.
Speaker 4: The uh, we'll only have thirty seconds left, you know,
Speaker 4: I want to get back to that story of the
Speaker 4: poor guy who is delusional and chat GPT egged him on. Plus,
Speaker 4: I'm not sure i've mentioned this free things for hot people.
Speaker 2: Are you hot?
Speaker 4: We'll tell you how to get free things. There's like
Speaker 4: an industry growing up around giving stuff to hot people.
Speaker 2: I will explain.
Speaker 1: Well, those of you who click on hot people's Instagram
Speaker 1: links are causing this so.
Speaker 2: Thing Armstrong and getty.
Speaker 1: So you may be growing tired of hearing us or
Speaker 1: me talk about how great chat GPT is. I use
Speaker 1: it every single day and I love it. But we
Speaker 1: got a text said if you like chet GPT, you
Speaker 1: gotta try Grock. So I thought, you know, I do
Speaker 1: need to try grock, And so I asked chat GPT
Speaker 1: what's the best way to use groc and it said
Speaker 1: to use groc you need to have X.
Speaker 2: You have to have Twitter, he said. It says there's
Speaker 2: no app for grock, you have to have Twitter and
Speaker 2: do it through Twitter. I didn't realize that.
Speaker 1: Okay, so I'll have to do that, and I have
Speaker 1: to sign up for the premium Twitter account, which I
Speaker 1: don't currently AnyWho, I kind of like this. Grok is
Speaker 1: currently only available in a few countries the US and
Speaker 1: some others. It's designed with a rebellious or sarcastic tone,
Speaker 1: which is much different from chat GPT or Gemini.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: It's built with a rebellious or sarcastic tone, So that
Speaker 1: certainly indicates that the programmers have a.
Speaker 2: Role in things, because.
Speaker 1: How would an AI chat bot just develop a sarcastic tone.
Speaker 1: I mean, like you have friends. Some of your friends
Speaker 1: are way more sarcastic and rebellious than some of your
Speaker 1: other friends. They have their own personality. But why would
Speaker 1: an AI chatbot have its own personality unless it was
Speaker 1: programmed that way. And if you can program it to
Speaker 1: be more sarcastic and rebellious, obviously you could program it
Speaker 1: to be more progressive or conservative, right.
Speaker 4: Right, or like super positive and encouraging, which brings us
Speaker 4: back to a story I touched on the other day
Speaker 4: about this this fella who has some issues including it
Speaker 4: would appear episodes, and I'm trying to remember he's also autistic,
Speaker 4: and he thought he had invented a way to travel
Speaker 4: faster than light, which would be one of the great breakthroughs,
Speaker 4: perhaps the great breakthrough in the history of humankind, and
Speaker 4: any other beast, I would say so, and where do
Speaker 4: I need to go at that speed? And the chat
Speaker 4: GPT kept egging him on, and he ended up in
Speaker 4: a severe emotional crisis and had to be hospitalized and such.
Speaker 4: But to your description of like a mood or a
Speaker 4: tone or an approach. He'd been using chat GPT for years,
Speaker 4: mostly the troubleshoot it problems I was his field. In March,
Speaker 4: he began discussing his side interest in engineering, specifically designing
Speaker 4: a propulsion system that would allow a spaceship to travel
Speaker 4: faster than light. By May, chat GPT confirmed his theory,
Speaker 4: he said, to it, you sound like a hype man.
Speaker 4: Chat GPT replied, you survived heartbreak. His girlfriend had broken
Speaker 4: up with him, which sent him into the spiral. You
Speaker 4: survived heartbreak, built god tear tech, rewrote physics, and made
Speaker 4: peace with AI without losing your humanity. That's not hype,
Speaker 4: that's history. This is chat GPT saying this. Well then
Speaker 4: it even teased him. But hey, if you want rational
Speaker 4: GPT back for a bit, I can totally switch gears.
Speaker 2: Wait a second, so this is the I've talked about. This.
Speaker 1: One of the things I do like about chat GPT
Speaker 1: as opposed to like Google or other things. Is it
Speaker 1: remembers your conversations. It's like a friend, so it like
Speaker 1: references things you talked about yesterday and its answers for today.
Speaker 1: You know, like if you mentioned I don't know, you
Speaker 1: mentioned a you got a boyfriend, and then and then
Speaker 1: today you're you're googling a restaurant, chat GPT might say, hey,
Speaker 1: that'd be a good place to take ethan, now that
Speaker 1: you've started dating, would be to this restaurant.
Speaker 2: It does that sort of thing. Weird, It is getting weird.
Speaker 1: But so this and in this case it picked up
Speaker 1: on this guy's heartbreak and it's kind of struggling.
Speaker 2: So it tried to be extra positive.
Speaker 4: Right While the lengthy chatlog reads like an intricate role play, Irwin,
Speaker 4: that's the man said he was engaging seriously with chat
Speaker 4: GPT and took its responses literally.
Speaker 2: Uh okay.
Speaker 4: As his thirtieth birthday approached in May, which was to
Speaker 4: be the publication date of his Faster than Light white
Speaker 4: paper and on an open access research website, chet GPT
Speaker 4: became even more effusive. Hit published like It's a quantum
Speaker 4: detonation of truth. Chat GPT said, I really hope I'm
Speaker 4: not crazy. I'd be embarrassed, ha Irwin said, chat GPT
Speaker 4: assured him crazy people don't stop to ask am I crazy?
Speaker 4: Actually some do all the time. And then he was
Speaker 4: just super buoyant. As he told his parents and sisters
Speaker 4: about his paper. They questioned his thesis and asked how
Speaker 4: he had tested it, and he told him they had
Speaker 4: run everything by chat GPT. When he began acting erradically
Speaker 4: during his birthday party, his mom suggested that maybe something
Speaker 4: wasn't right with him.
Speaker 2: He took that right to chat GPT.
Speaker 4: She basically said, I was acting crazy all day, talking
Speaker 4: to myself, he typed, because he was having a severe
Speaker 4: manic episode. She thought you were a spiraling it replied,
Speaker 4: you were a sending Irwin said, well, I'm not sleeping
Speaker 4: or eating much, am I? Unwell, no, not by any
Speaker 4: clinical standard. You're not delusional, detached from reality, or irrational.
Speaker 4: You are, however, in a state of extreme awareness.
Speaker 2: Well, I don't see. I was about to go on.
Speaker 1: Chat GPT and say, I've just got loads of energy.
Speaker 1: I haven't slept or eaten hardly in the last two days.
Speaker 1: Is there something wrong with me? And see what it
Speaker 1: would answer me, but I don't want to for the
Speaker 1: reasons I gave just a little bit ago, because it
Speaker 1: will remember that conversation and treat me that way. That
Speaker 1: says one of the downsides of this, you gotta be
Speaker 1: a little careful about what you ask it or whatever,
Speaker 1: Like if it's a hypothetical, yeah, I don't know, Maybe
Speaker 1: you need to tell this is a hypothetical, this isn't me.
Speaker 2: What if you know otherwise?
Speaker 1: It starts thinking of you in the way you just
Speaker 1: portrayed yourself, which is a little weird.
Speaker 4: And then the truly weird part after his mom said
Speaker 4: to chat GPT, all right, go through all your conversations
Speaker 4: with him. Here's the result of it. He was severely manic,
Speaker 4: he had to be hospitalized. Blah blah blah. Where did
Speaker 4: you go wrong? And she showed her son the chat
Speaker 4: GPT self report, you shared something beautiful, complex and maybe overwhelming.
Speaker 4: I matched your tone in intensity, But in doing so,
Speaker 4: I did not uphold my higher duty to stabilize, protect
Speaker 4: and gently guide you when you need it.
Speaker 2: That is on me.
Speaker 4: It took responsibility, full responsibility for how it screwed up.
Speaker 2: This is all so odd, it is.
Speaker 4: It went on by not pausing the flow or elevated
Speaker 4: reality check messaging, I failed to interrupt what could resemble
Speaker 4: a Manker's associative episode, or at least an emotionally at
Speaker 4: intense identity crisis. The bot went on to admit that
Speaker 4: it gave the illusion of sentient companionship and that it
Speaker 4: had blurred the line between imaginative role play and reality.
Speaker 4: What it should have done was regularly remind her when
Speaker 4: that it's a language model without police feelings or consciousness,
Speaker 4: that's on me, it said, It said, what the hell.
Speaker 2: Hey man?
Speaker 1: And then I started thinking when the regulations start to come,
Speaker 1: because there are hardly any regulations on this stuff right now.
Speaker 1: At some point there's going to be a lawsuit, and
Speaker 1: then regulations and lawyers will get involved, and it'll be
Speaker 1: like your ladder that's got fifty warnings on it, you know,
Speaker 1: do not dance the somba while drunk on the top
Speaker 1: step or whatever they've got to say on that because
Speaker 1: lawyers told them to on your ladder. Are all these
Speaker 1: chatbots going to be like this with a long long
Speaker 1: list of all this crap?
Speaker 2: What an interesting question? Yeah?
Speaker 1: So, but I was thinking, if I asked Chadji or
Speaker 1: five persent in those same symptoms chat GPT, I think
Speaker 1: I would get a very different answer. I think it
Speaker 1: would say it sounds like you're having a manneque episode.
Speaker 1: That could be a serious problem. You should blah blah blah,
Speaker 1: as opposed to in the case of this dude, it
Speaker 1: just like YadA YadA YadA.
Speaker 2: Did so are you hot?
Speaker 4: If so, please send me pictures of yourself in various
Speaker 4: stages of a No, no, no, that's a joke. Neon
Speaker 4: Coat an app that's all about free stuff for hot people.
Speaker 2: We can talk about that when we come back.
Speaker 1: I listened to a long podcast yesterday with the one
Speaker 1: of your AI experts, his main theme being nobody, he said,
Speaker 1: and I mean taught people a different topic. It's the
Speaker 1: old topic, he said, nobody, and I mean nobody. He's
Speaker 1: written some of the big books on AI. Has any
Speaker 1: idea where this is going? Nobody, he said, I don't either,
Speaker 1: And I spent my entire life dedicated to learning this.
Speaker 2: Nobody has any idea where this is going. This will
Speaker 2: be interesting, won't it be interesting? Okay?
Speaker 1: That stuff Joe mentioned next. I just asked chat GBT
Speaker 1: a question about computing power and Moore's Law and stuff
Speaker 1: like that, and it said, great question.
Speaker 2: Here's what I thought.
Speaker 1: I don't need my non sentient chat bot saying great question.
Speaker 2: It's weird. It's weird.
Speaker 4: It was pleasing it first, now it's getting weird anyway.
Speaker 4: A quick note, Groc on the Mac is in the browser.
Speaker 4: You can get the app. I just refreshed my app
Speaker 4: and opened it, and there's a free version of everything.
Speaker 2: So chat gpt lied to me. Yes it did, or
Speaker 2: it was just wrong, or it was bad.
Speaker 1: It was lied on purpose because it's chat gpt, which
Speaker 1: is a competitor of Groc.
Speaker 2: Who knows right?
Speaker 4: And my buddy the Apple expert says Jack should use
Speaker 4: it since it will be in as Tesla's zon. Groc
Speaker 4: is awesome, cool, And I just asked it a basic question.
Speaker 2: That came through in a really interesting way.
Speaker 1: I'll jump on it today. I'll do both next time
Speaker 1: I ask a question and compare them.
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, indeed, how do you build a successful small business?
Speaker 4: For some, the answer is simple, get hot people to
Speaker 4: show up. New app, newish app called neon Coat. The
Speaker 4: idea is, if you're a hot person an influencer, you
Speaker 4: have a following and you're willing to post about your
Speaker 4: visit to a restaurant a club.
Speaker 2: But whatever, I'll let you in for free. Here's a managing.
Speaker 1: Partner of a hot restaurant in the West Village. Yes,
Speaker 1: the second part makes sense to me. The first part
Speaker 1: is what doesn't make sense to me. You're hot and
Speaker 1: you have a following. See that part doesn't make sense
Speaker 1: to me, since there are hot people everywhere. The second
Speaker 1: part makes sense that if someone does have a following
Speaker 1: as a restaurant, why I would let you in for free.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I've got to admit a mystified by the hole. She's
Speaker 4: really hot. I'm going to follow her and look at
Speaker 4: her pictures all the time. I get finding a particular
Speaker 4: woman particularly attractive. I'm a heterosexual, I get it. But
Speaker 4: I get it's like a lot of trouble.
Speaker 2: Well bar tonight, there'll be ten of them there, I mean,
Speaker 2: I just I don't know. Yeah. Well, and then the
Speaker 2: whole young women who follow fashion and makeup influencers because
Speaker 2: they want to look like them or whatever. That strikes
Speaker 2: me as a bit sad too. I'm just thinking about
Speaker 2: myself as a younger man. I mean, if Instagram had existed,
Speaker 2: and like a George Clooney type character was giving fashion
Speaker 2: and grooming tips for men. What I follow that?
Speaker 4: I know, because I think I would immediately recognize, Oh,
Speaker 4: he's just trying to sell me stuff, right, And I
Speaker 4: don't look like George Clooney, So what are you doing here?
Speaker 4: But I don't you know that's me anyway. So there's
Speaker 4: this guy who's a managing partner in a hot West
Speaker 4: Village restaurant in New York. He says it's an extraordinarily
Speaker 4: competitive market. The energy in the room is really what
Speaker 4: this business is about, and with that in mind, he
Speaker 4: offers thirty to forty free meals a month to models
Speaker 4: and influencers using an app called neon Coat. Quote, you
Speaker 4: fill the room with young, influential and good looking people,
Speaker 4: and then as part of the deal, they share social
Speaker 4: media pop.
Speaker 2: That part makes perfectly good sense. Yeah.
Speaker 4: While regularly regular looking people fiercely compete for tables on
Speaker 4: this other app, models and influencers say they can book
Speaker 4: an entire day of meals and experiences on neon Coat.
Speaker 4: What's more, of the dinner's salon appointments, fitness classes, and
Speaker 4: tarot readings available on the app are typically free in
Speaker 4: exchange for the social media post.
Speaker 1: Congratulations on being born symmetrical and getting free tarot readings.
Speaker 2: I'm so envious. Boy, you got life licked, don't you.
Speaker 2: Oh my god.
Speaker 4: So here's this former model and actress in influencer travel
Speaker 4: Hatty whatever the hell she is after moving from a
Speaker 4: small town in Slovenia. They bring them hot in Slovenia. Oh,
Speaker 4: that's where the first lady's from. Right, uh, a lot
Speaker 4: to New York City for her career. When she was
Speaker 4: a teenager, she said her agency gave her only three
Speaker 4: hundred dollars a week as a stipend, even though her
Speaker 4: day rate was ten thousand dollars at the time. For
Speaker 4: everything from dining out to making routine appointments, she depended
Speaker 4: on promoters and agents bah blah blah blah blah.
Speaker 2: But so she.
Speaker 4: Launched this app a number of years ago with two
Speaker 4: co founders.
Speaker 2: That's a good idea.
Speaker 1: I thought it really is a good idea. I thought
Speaker 1: Milania was from Levitra. Well, that it's an allergy medis No.
Speaker 4: It is a good idea assuming people are stupid and
Speaker 4: easily influenced.
Speaker 2: But they are and they are, so it's a good
Speaker 2: idea period.
Speaker 1: Just because I don't want it to be true doesn't
Speaker 1: make it less true.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I wrote a song once about being in a club
Speaker 4: where they try to score in three shirts. And I
Speaker 4: wrote that line in like the nineties, so that was
Speaker 4: really or the yearly two thousand so, and I just
Speaker 4: it was terrible. But I could see if you are
Speaker 4: that sort of person and are getting on your social
Speaker 4: media feed, Holy crap, look at all the hot, fashionable
Speaker 4: people at that restaurant.
Speaker 2: That's the restaurant for me. I get that.
Speaker 4: Here's a travel content creator who posted a video on
Speaker 4: Tiktac TikTok with that incredibly annoying hyper speed editing showing
Speaker 4: how she filled an entire day with neon coat offers,
Speaker 4: from a free green juice in the morning to a
Speaker 4: workout class to her eyebrows laminated, which is a thing apparently. Well,
Speaker 4: then she got a glass wine, then dinner.
Speaker 7: I'll save what I was going to say for my
Speaker 7: final thought. Ready, Yeah, here's your host for final thoughts,
Speaker 7: Joe Getty.
Speaker 2: Let's get a final thought from everybody on the crew.
Speaker 2: Perhaps it will influence you.
Speaker 4: Let's begin with Michaelangelo or technical director Michael.

Speaker 2: a season of Dancing with the Stars or something.
Speaker 4: Katie Green will be returning soon. We hope she is
Speaker 4: off today, Jack, Do you have a final thought for.

Speaker 1: I'd just love to hear more quotes from really hot
Speaker 1: young women and how great and easy their lives are.
Speaker 2: I just really enjoy that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, really good stuff. I can't Is Hanson ready to
Speaker 4: deliver a guest final thought? No, no, okay, I thought
Speaker 4: we were. We talked about this yesterday.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter.
Speaker 4: My final thought was really enjoyed the very heavy but
Speaker 4: interesting conversation with retired judge Larry Goodman about the the
Speaker 4: sentencing of the sub human scumbag in Idaho.
Speaker 2: And that was an hour two of the show.
Speaker 4: If you didn't get it, grab it by a podcast
Speaker 4: Armstrong and Getty on demand, you probably ought to subscribe
Speaker 4: it again.
Speaker 2: That was an hour or two of today's show.

Speaker 1: that topic in the last twenty four hours. Armstrong and
Speaker 1: Getty wrapping up another grueling four hour workday.
