Elon 14 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: Musk calling the Big Beautiful Bill not a big and beautiful, 15 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: but a disgusting abomination. 16 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 2: Here's my favorite part of the coverage. 17 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,160 Speaker 1: Course, if you're going to participate in an abomination, it 18 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,479 Speaker 1: is going to be disgusting. 19 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 2: True. 20 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 1: My favorite part of this is the glee with which 21 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: all the lefty media is taking it. I wonder if 22 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: people will stop flipping me off in my cyberbeast. I 23 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: got another one yesterday.

NPR was jutting up 30 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: and giving you high fives. Now roll down your window, 31 00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: high five, then way to go, NPR, and just so 32 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: excited about this and what I like about it the 33 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: best is and this is what I felt about last 34 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,480 Speaker 1: week because I thought that was way overblown, the end 35 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 1: of the bromance. 36 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: They're way more interested in the high school gossip. Ye 37 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 2: who's friends and who's not? 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Then how about you look at the actual issue of 39 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: the debt and whether this is a good idea or not. 40 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: I don't give a crap about the relationship between Donald 41 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: Trump and Elon Musk. 42 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: I give many craps, as many craps. 43 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 1: As you can give about may borrow a few craps 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: to give right about whether or not the country goes broke. 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: The horrifyingly moronic irony of the lefty media cheering Elon 46 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 1: Musk for his criticism. Yeah, you criticize Elon, I'll it 47 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: crazy over spending and going into debt and social programs 48 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: that are too big. You plas trump over that? Are 49 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: you serious? Are you people really serious? I know, God 50 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 1: say there aren't nearly enough slappings in this country. These 51 00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: people need a good slapping. I hate to say exactly 52 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: the same thing that Chuck Schumer and Jefferies said yesterday, 53 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: the Democratic leaders of the Senate and House, I agree 54 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: with Elon Musk. They were so excited to say, with 55 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: big smiles on their face, like that was clever. Yeah, 56 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 1: it is a disgusting abomination. It is every single year, 57 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: not just this time, it is every single year. I 58 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: was looking at the list yesterday of how much we 59 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: have spent more than we have taken in every year 60 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: since two thousand. 61 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 2: It's crazy. It was crazy in two thousand. 62 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: And people talked about it regularly, but it was a 63 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: tiny amount compared to the way we overspend now right right. 64 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: If I were to sound one note of hopefulness, it 65 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: would be this. I was just reading Jason rilesyd soon 66 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: is that your notable? 67 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 2: It won't matter when you're dead. 68 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,040 Speaker 1: No, I was reading Jason Riley's column for the Wall 69 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: Street Journal, and he was talking about how the Democrats 70 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: have hemorrhage support among various minority voters and his analysis, 71 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: which we may dive into a little bit later because 72 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 1: he's a terrific writer, but his analysis essentially boils down 73 00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: to all of the rhetoric and the race baiting and 74 00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: all that just it. People see through it. They want 75 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: to know about is my neighborhood safe? Do I have 76 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: reasonable job prospects? And are my kids learning at school? 77 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: The rest of the crap is crap, and people see 78 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 1: through it. So if you know, I don't have a 79 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 1: ton of hope, but I have some hope and just 80 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: the common sensical perceptions of the American people, which frequently 81 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: surprise me how well they cut through the media's crap, 82 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,039 Speaker 1: like that Joe Biden is fine. The run circles around 83 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: us beyond the sands. Is this is the best vision 84 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: of Joe Biden and Evy. If you don't like it, 85 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,679 Speaker 1: our media overlord's told us for months and months and months. 86 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 1: Meanwhile the American people were saying, look senile to me. 87 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: The other thing that's got me down is I had 88 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: one thousand pallets to steal an aluminum that I was 89 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:04,799 Speaker 1: supposed to import last week, but Jack the procrastinator didn't 90 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: get around to it, and now the tariffs have doubled 91 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: the day to fifty percent. What am I gonna ask 92 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 1: The're not gonna pay all that money to get my 93 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 1: all I steal in aluminum that I like to buy 94 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: at the beginning of every summer and bring her so 95 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: excited about that illuminum. I know, and I knew the 96 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: tariffs were coming on June fourth, and here they are. 97 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 1: What do fifty tariffs un stealing aluminum mean? Nobody knows? 98 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: How long does it last? I was airing one interesting 99 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: business report on it's really hard to negotiate with other 100 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: countries now because they know if they wait just a 101 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: little bit, the courts might overturn it. And then why 102 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: would they make any sort of deal if the courts 103 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,679 Speaker 1: like make it illegal, which they did for like forty 104 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: eight hours last week, and then they don't they don't 105 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: have to make a deal. Well, you combine that with 106 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,040 Speaker 1: the whole Taco philosophy. Trump always chickens out, which is 107 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: a completely unfair characterization. Trump always makes a maximalist to 108 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 1: opening offer. Then then you know comes down and tries 109 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,359 Speaker 1: to reach a middle point. It's just the way some 110 00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: people negotiate. But yeah, there's not a lot of incentive 111 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: to say, yes, we'll go along with it. We'll go 112 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,160 Speaker 1: along with it. People are like, yeah, we'll wait and see. Countries, 113 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: I should say, are taking more of that attitude? 114 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 4: You know. 115 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: I had this thought as we were just about to 116 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: jump on the air this morning. A disgusting abomination, that's right. Ah. 117 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: You remember, back way way way back two thousand and three, 118 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: Gladys good times, George W. Bush had a brilliant idea, 119 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: We're going to bring a Jeffersonian democracy to Iraq. Work beautifully. Anyway, 120 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: we were waiting for the Shock in Awe to begin, 121 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 1: and CNN, which wasn't crappy back then, was broadcasting live 122 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: from Baghdad. You remember old bag Dad Bob tanks. What day? 123 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: There are no tanks in Baghdad. They're broadcasting live and 124 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 1: watching various explosions go off around Iraq and we and 125 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: other people, because it had been leaked that the operation 126 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 1: was going to be called shock and Awe, and we're like, oh, 127 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 1: is this shock in awe? This is pretty shocking. I'm 128 00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 1: in some awe but then when it actually started, it 129 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: was like, oh wow, okay, I'm reminded of that. I'm 130 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 1: thinking of the charming Armstrong and Geddy Welcome to the 131 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 1: Spicy Times t shirts that you could purchase if you like, 132 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: for a reasonable price, the Armstrong and Getty store, Armstrong 133 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: Geddy dot com.

Oh okay, maybe when 137 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: the Chinese drones hit your local electric plant at the 138 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: same time that the nation is running a debt to 139 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: GDP ratio much more than World War Two during peacetime, 140 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: that's the spicy times. And Trump declares Marshal law because 141 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: he's a dictator. He's the litwe hitler. By the way, 142 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,920 Speaker 1: Elon Musk's tweet yesterday on his own Twitter was I'm sorry, 143 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: but I just can't stand it anymore. This massive, outrageous, 144 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: pork filled congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame 145 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: on those who voted for it. You know you did wrong, 146 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: you know it, which is a heck of a thing. 147 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 1: To say, I mean, that's not that's not that's not 148 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: sugarcoating it.

Some of the criticism I've heard 154 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 1: coming back at that is, yeah, that's what these bills 155 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,400 Speaker 1: look like always yo. 156 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, well that'll be my point always. 157 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 1: Yeah.

And you, of course were screaming and yelling 160 00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 1: about fiscal responsibility at the time. Oh please, subscene, it's 161 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: the whole thing is obscene. 162 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: Of course.

The 344 00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 1: charging US Attorney Jerome Gorgan said yesterday the alleged actions 345 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,840 Speaker 1: of these Chinese nationals, including a loil member of the 346 00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 1: Chinese Communist Party, are of the gravest national security concerns. 347 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 2: You're right, how this isn't an act of war, I 348 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 2: don't know. 349 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: And I think a presumption that, let's see, communist agents, 350 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 1: known communist agents, snuck this in not for innocent research, 351 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: but to do damage, is a presumption. We're absolutely well. 352 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: I think it's incumbent on us to make that presumption. 353 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,480 Speaker 1: If we don't, we're just too stupid naive to have 354 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: a superpower anymore. You've got a sworn enemy bringing pathogens 355 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: into the country that could do billions and billions of 356 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 1: dollars of damage to agriculture, and then lying about it repeatedly. 357 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 2: Well, right, and there lie. 358 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: If they're both really super to researching this thing and 359 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 1: they just you know, he brought it in here so 360 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: they could do more research, so they could be university 361 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,840 Speaker 1: stars or whatever, that's a pretty good lie. I mean, 362 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: that'd be a pretty good story to throw out there, 363 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: as opposed to all this pretending you didn't do it 364 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,440 Speaker 1: and then looking through the communications and figuring out, yeah, 365 00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: you did it and you'd been working on it for 366 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 1: quite some time. Wow. 367 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Wow, that's something I hope we take this seriously. 368 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: Whole of society effort to overcome the United States, that's 369 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 1: what China is engaged in. From the bankers to the scientists, 370 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 1: to the soldiers to the shopkeepers, they're all tasked at 371 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: times with finding a way to end the Great Satan's rule. 372 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 1: A little follow up on Katie's other story about the 373 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: daughter of that freaking crazy flamethrower terrorist dude from Colorado. 374 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: Their whole family, five kids and mom have been detained 375 00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,119 Speaker 1: by Ice and there looks like they're going to get 376 00:20:58,160 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 1: kicked out of the United States. 377 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 2: He had been the. 378 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: Cover feature of a glowing profile that the oldest daughter 379 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: in the Denver Gazette about winners of its best and 380 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 1: brightest scholarship for graduating high school seniors. She was going 381 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: to be a doctor, and she talks about how her 382 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 1: family moving to the United States so she could pursue 383 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 1: a dream career in medicine had and living in America 384 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 1: had fundamentally changed her and how much how great it 385 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: was to be here and all the opportunities that afforded 386 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 1: that didn't didn't have before and all this sort of stuff. 387 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,000 Speaker 2: So what the hell's going on in that family? 388 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:32,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if she's an outlier and the other 389 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 1: four are, you know, or or terrorist sympathizers or whatever 390 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 1: mom and the other kids, or or if he was 391 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: just a went off the rail or I don't know 392 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: what's going on there, but that's. 393 00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:45,439 Speaker 2: Quite the story. 394 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would guess we're going to find out he 395 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 1: just went off the rails. What a kook? Did you 396 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: see the latest video where you see him show up 397 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 1: in his gardener outfit? Uh? Sus, Yeah, I think I 398 00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: saw it. So he shows up in saw him in 399 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 1: his vest in Hi? Yeah? He shows up in orange 400 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: vests they bought at home depot or whatever with and 401 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: he bought some flowers to make it look more like 402 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 1: a gardener. And then all of a sudden, he turns 403 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 1: around with his hose that he made a flame homemade 404 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 1: flamethrower out of from watching a YouTube video, starts scorting 405 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 1: people and setting it on fire, sets himself on fire, 406 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 1: has to take off the vest and the T shirt 407 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: and starts, you know, smothering more people with flammable liquid 408 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 1: so he can set them on fire like a completely 409 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: freaking nut job. So here is the story that I 410 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: came across about AI AI yesterday that I thought was 411 00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,719 Speaker 1: so damned interesting. Did you know this? This is Megan mccardal, 412 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:37,960 Speaker 1: who writes she's with the Dispatch and also writes, I 413 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: think for the Washington Post. I didn't. 414 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 2: I'd never thought about this before. 415 00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: There will be a lagging productivity with AI, likely in 416 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: the same way there was a lagging productivity with computers 417 00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: and the Internet. So there's a lot of talk about 418 00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: how AI is going to make us so more productive 419 00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 1: that even if it eliminates jobs, will be as a 420 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: very productive society. And maybe, you know, AI and computers 421 00:23:03,320 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: can do all the producing and we'll just live off 422 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: their producing, which is great, not gonna work. But that aside, 423 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: I had never heard this before, and I should read 424 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: more about it. 425 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 2: So when. 426 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: It became a thing that you didn't have to sit 427 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,360 Speaker 1: down at a typewriter and uh and and type out 428 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 1: a long letter or you know, dictate to your secretary 429 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 1: and then they tape type out along that or other 430 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 1: you know, word processors or voice texting or all these 431 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 1: different sorts of things happened. We didn't immediately become x, 432 00:23:39,680 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 1: you know, more productive. Because of that, we had x 433 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: more time to screw around. And that's what most people did. 434 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: You just had a less busy day. 435 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:53,640 Speaker 2: For the most part. 436 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: You'd get you could get, you could get, you know, 437 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: you could get out a proposal in and half the 438 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: time with computer or the internet or whatever. But it 439 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: seems that we use that other half hour that we 440 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:06,879 Speaker 1: would have used before having to write it out by 441 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: end and then type it out by in you know, 442 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: surfing the internet or talking to. 443 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 2: People are on the coffee or whatever, as opposed to 444 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 2: being more productive. 445 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 1: And then over time, in the way that the private 446 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: sector does, you know, they squeeze more out of you, 447 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: and then they should and then you know, eventually they 448 00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 1: hire Bill and give you Bill's job. Now you've got 449 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,760 Speaker 1: two jobs and you're making the same salary you made before. 450 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: But you're happy for it because the Bill has no job. 451 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 1: But you know how that whole thing works. But the 452 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: she believes the same thing will happen with AI, which 453 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: will be even more disruptive to society, and that AI 454 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 1: could come in eliminate a bunch of jobs or a 455 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: bunch of stuff that you need to do at work. 456 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 1: And we won't immediately be a way more productive society. 457 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: We'll just have a little more leisure at work and 458 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 1: it will take a few years to catch up to 459 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:52,680 Speaker 1: where we're more productive. Also also the idea that when 460 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 1: people start getting laid off in large numbers because AI 461 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 1: can allow, you know, I'll use a fictitious company, you know, 462 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:08,159 Speaker 1: to get the ink when they lay off fifteen thousand 463 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 1: people because all of a sudden, all those jobs can 464 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: be done with AI. That's gonna be a. 465 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: Political problem for them. 466 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,119 Speaker 1: You know, there's gonna be there's gonna be blowback to that, 467 00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: and companies are gonna have to figure out do I, 468 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:22,920 Speaker 1: you know, how much do I of this? 469 00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 2: Do I want to do? 470 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 1: Even though financially it's a good idea, I don't need 471 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: these people, but I don't want to be you know, 472 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't need people picketing outside my 473 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: house and all that sort of stuff. 474 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 2: So that'll be a heck of a thing to watch. 475 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: Well, hear at Getty Incorporated, we don't give a damn 476 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: about you, your family, your hopes, or your dreams. And 477 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: what we will be doing is laying off precisely, and 478 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: we will use a hi to determine this number precisely 479 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,359 Speaker 1: the maximum number of people we can that still is 480 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,600 Speaker 1: below the threshold of anybody really paying attention to. Right, 481 00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: we will lay off two hundred and ninety eight people 482 00:25:59,000 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: every other. 483 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: Right until we're done. Right, But that is gonna be 484 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 2: the way it has to unroll. 485 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, But then it becomes a political problem for politicians, 486 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 1: and it could be a mass in the whole country, 487 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: and and then one party is going to take the 488 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: reins of something. One party will claim we'll bring back 489 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: all those jobs even though they can't, and you get 490 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 1: elected over and over again. Would never claim that. Hilarious. 491 00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: Oh speaking AI, one more note on that topic. Apparently 492 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 1: an increasing number before we move on. Do you buy that? 493 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 2: Do you buy that? 494 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 1: I'd never heard that before. Do you think we just 495 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: had more more screwing around time at work? Maybe that's when, like, 496 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: you know, March madness, brackets really took off or whatever, 497 00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: when the word. 498 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:43,159 Speaker 2: Process are hit. 499 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if it'll be uh, you know, 500 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,560 Speaker 1: just three months or five years. But retrospect, do you exist? 501 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,679 Speaker 1: But do you think that happened before? Because I'd never 502 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: heard anybody say that before. Oh yeah, yeah, I think so, 503 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:59,960 Speaker 1: just because you know the methods by which you can 504 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 1: monitor precisely how productive your people are at every minute. 505 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: It doesn't exist in white collar jobs. Uh huh. It might, 506 00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,080 Speaker 1: you know, if you're if you're screwing a nut onto 507 00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: a bolt or a yeah, not onto a bolt. Uh, 508 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: you can keep track of productivity in that sort of 509 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: you know, immediate way. But yeah, in office jobs, no, 510 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: it probably took a while for the boss to walk 511 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: around and say, hey, people are always chatting. 512 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 4: You know. 513 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: This reminds when I was working in the feed lots. 514 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: Take Gladys.

I was like, well, that's 525 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,240 Speaker 1: all it takes. I mean, I just figured out what 526 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 1: the you know, the right route is, and it just 527 00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 1: that's all longer it takes like what are you doing? Wow? 528 00:27:59,160 --> 00:28:01,360 Speaker 1: So they proudbeach out of it. Huh No, I kept 529 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: doing it that way. But there's a lot of that 530 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: in every industry. I think. You know, you make your 531 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: work fit the day. Oh, the same thing when I 532 00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,200 Speaker 1: worked to the data data processing at AT and T, 533 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: when I'd get all my work done in like an 534 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 1: hour and then I would go sleep in the toilet 535 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 1: till noon, till they gave me the afternoon's work. But 536 00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: other people sat there at your keyboard typed deray the 537 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,440 Speaker 1: whole morning and made the work stretch out. 538 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 2: So yeah, when new tech hit, you just stretched it out. 539 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure there are really interesting books that are best 540 00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: sellers that some of you, you know, sophisticated business people 541 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,440 Speaker 1: are aware of that I'm not. But that deal with 542 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,719 Speaker 1: that phenomenon and how different it is in say startup culture, 543 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: where everybody's hustling seventy five hours a week, I mean, 544 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,440 Speaker 1: and like trying to outvie each other. It's productivity on 545 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 1: steroids under their desk, not eating lunch. Yeah, the startup 546 00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:58,040 Speaker 1: versus the mature enterprise and the challenges. Yeah, that's interesting, 547 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 1: and yes, I did sleep in the bathroom, I couldn't. 548 00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: I would love to have been able to sleep. And 549 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: I was twenty two twenty three. I slept like a 550 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: baby in there, sitting on the turlet, kind of hunched over. Yeah, 551 00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: with my head on my arms crossed on my knees. 552 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:21,560 Speaker 1: I'll be damn I get a slumber like that. Wow. 553 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 1: Did you ever fall off and land on your head 554 00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: and wake up like sprawled on the stall floor? 555 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:26,120 Speaker 2: No? 556 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: I think I would remember if I had.

Relationship with China is getting 563 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:51,520 Speaker 1: more complicated. Wow, and we've got a Russia's about to 564 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,160 Speaker 1: hit a milestone in casualties that is worth noting. 565 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,440 Speaker 2: It's amazing and historic.

We would have paid one thousand 573 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: dollars for that, more than well back like in the eighties. 574 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: That'd be like a five thousand dollars project and eighties 575 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: dollars and Hanson did it twenty. It's taking it like 576 00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 1: nine months to get it right, at which point it 577 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: was irrelevant. Yeah yeah, wow, wow, here is your nomination. 578 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,800 Speaker 1: I like the happy singing with those words. I find 579 00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: myself curious about what prompts were used to generate that. 580 00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 1: It sounded like either nineties pop or like a TV 581 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 1: theme show, a bit of the show theme rather a 582 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:06,280 Speaker 1: bit of the Friends theme song vibe d Yeah, indeed, 583 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:08,560 Speaker 1: well done. Here's your freedom loving quote of the day 584 00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,200 Speaker 1: from Jean Jacques Rousseau, one of the great thinkers about 585 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:17,680 Speaker 1: liberty free people. Remember this maxim we may acquire liberty, 586 00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: but it has never recovered if it is once lost. Yeah, yeah, 587 00:31:21,800 --> 00:31:24,239 Speaker 1: you get one shot at it for maybe it might 588 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: be a thousand years before humankind gets another shot at it. 589 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 2: Mail bag, that's no joke either. That's not eneration at 590 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,720 Speaker 2: all I know. 591 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: I was tempted to go off on one of my 592 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,200 Speaker 1: endless streets, but I held myself back. 593 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: There's a crazy breath. 594 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 1: No reason slavery in kings and serfs can't come back 595 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: as the dominating form. That's been the reality for ninety 596 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: nine percent of humanity from the moment we emerged from 597 00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:56,719 Speaker 1: the primordial ooze until the moment of the recent disgusting abomination, 598 00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:02,600 Speaker 1: human existence has been slavery and depression and then then horror. Anyway, 599 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,200 Speaker 1: drop us a note mail bag at Armstrong and getdy 600 00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:10,360 Speaker 1: dot com. Note here from Michael Hey, King of the 601 00:32:10,440 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: Hills fan. King of the Hill fans. We mentioned yesterday 602 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,320 Speaker 1: what fans we are of the great Mike Judge the 603 00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:17,560 Speaker 1: cartoon show King of the Hill. Not sure if you 604 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: guys have mentioned it.

Whole gang is aged eight years and it's 607 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 1: a new take on life in Arlan, Texas in twenty 608 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:28,160 Speaker 1: twenty five. 609 00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 2: Oh, my son will be so excited to hear about that. 610 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:32,560 Speaker 2: He watches Hagan Hill every day. 611 00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: Yesterday we went for our walk and he said Dale 612 00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:38,120 Speaker 1: bought some alien blood from a guy in a garage. 613 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:45,240 Speaker 2: Oh, you know, they've got to have and I. 614 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: Know Mike Judge will do this. Mike, if you're listening, 615 00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:51,720 Speaker 1: thank you for listening.

All right? Moving along on the topic of 620 00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: AI behaving badly JT and Livermore. I've said this before. 621 00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: Large language learning model AIS are not intelligent, nor are 622 00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:21,120 Speaker 1: they alive, and they most certainly do not have a 623 00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: will to live. They're extremely sophisticated programs that have a 624 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,480 Speaker 1: tremendous amount of human data from which to base their 625 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:30,360 Speaker 1: quote unquote answers. Llmais are simply trying to run their 626 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:33,400 Speaker 1: programming and solve problems blackmailing a human Back to the 627 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,680 Speaker 1: experiment we talked about, I guess it was a couple 628 00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: of days ago about an AI system that was fed 629 00:33:38,920 --> 00:33:41,880 Speaker 1: emails suggesting that the chief engineer was having an affair, 630 00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:44,560 Speaker 1: and it tried to blackmail him into not turning the 631 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 1: AI system off. If you miss that. It was fascinating. 632 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,440 Speaker 1: If mailing a human is the shortest path to solving 633 00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,160 Speaker 1: the problem, then it will do with zero concern. It 634 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 1: will do it, oh, with zero concern about that it 635 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 1: might be view it as negative. In fact, the blackmail 636 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,160 Speaker 1: incident is almost exactly the same problem as the hallucinations. 637 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:07,560 Speaker 1: In both cases, the AI is trying really hard to 638 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,479 Speaker 1: answer a question or perform a task. It sometimes finds 639 00:34:10,520 --> 00:34:13,759 Speaker 1: a shortcut that doesn't exist or as morally reprehensible. As 640 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,480 Speaker 1: Jack pointed out, AI could just as easily blackmail with 641 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,960 Speaker 1: faked up material if it was the shortest path to 642 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:19,880 Speaker 1: solving the problem. 643 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,760 Speaker 2: You're obviously a very knowledgeable person. 644 00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: But I've read enough about AI to know there are 645 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:27,520 Speaker 1: other very knowledgeable AI people who disagree with you completely. 646 00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:29,280 Speaker 2: That's one of the interesting things about AI. 647 00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:33,040 Speaker 1: There are one hundred and eighty degree differences among the 648 00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: smartest people in the world on this stuff. 649 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,239 Speaker 2: So how it shakes out, I don't know. 650 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,080 Speaker 1: His final point is that these llmai's development is based 651 00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,840 Speaker 1: on the actions and lives of billions of flawed humans. Humans. Lies, 652 00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,520 Speaker 1: cheat steel that sometimes right and wrong or black and 653 00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:49,600 Speaker 1: white most of the times. More compliment that is. One 654 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,960 Speaker 1: of the concerns is that if it takes in all 655 00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,480 Speaker 1: the information human beings have ever had, we are a 656 00:34:54,600 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 1: flawed species. We are a greedy, selfish, self interested species. 657 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:04,080 Speaker 1: I am. Let's see this from damon Beautiful San Jose, California. 658 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,040 Speaker 1: Listening to the conversation about California's idiotic new ruling on 659 00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:09,800 Speaker 1: three medals, one for boys, one for girls, and ones 660 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: for trans girls. Why not call out the need for 661 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 1: equity and inclusion and insist on the fourth podium for 662 00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:18,280 Speaker 1: trans boys. I can only assume that's because there aren't 663 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: any newly minted boys who ever win anything because of 664 00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:27,120 Speaker 1: the obvious advantage males have over females in athletics, and 665 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: anybody but a lunatic knows it. 666 00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:31,320 Speaker 2: That is an excellent point. 667 00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:36,040 Speaker 1: How come there aren't any trans girls, trans boys, boys, whatever, 668 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:38,359 Speaker 1: I get them all mixed up. Yeah, anyway, we'll talk 669 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:40,440 Speaker 1: about it late if you miss the segment of the podcast. 670 00:35:40,520 --> 00:35:42,960 Speaker 2: As you heard in the songs are Strong and Getty
