Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of untransided
Speaker 1: voters or undelighted voters. Oh we will accept it either
Speaker 1: undelighted voters on the discord, uh and untrensited voters. Curtesy,
Speaker 1: you current do that on television? Current, curent you do
Speaker 1: it on television. I'm just that is Miles. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: uh baby, just sitting here, uh doing a little a podcasting.
Speaker 1: Thank you as your bow tie. I just found out
Speaker 1: about podcasting and I'm to trot for what did you

Speaker 1: what time is your show on Jack? Anyways? Uh, Miles, Yes,
Speaker 1: big news that I wanted. Did not see blindsign? You know,
Speaker 1: remember that that viral video of that guy like sprinting
Speaker 1: up and just dive kicking Arnold Schwarzenegger in the back.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Like that's how I felt from this story.
Speaker 2: Wasn't that like it like a children's fitness event or something.
Speaker 1: Like a school gymnasium. Yea, and drop kick Murphy right there,
Speaker 1: drop kicked Murphy. And anyways, That's how I'm feeling after
Speaker 1: a morning spent being told that Mark Robinson, yes, the
Speaker 1: politician out of North Carolina, North Carolina gubernatorial candidate. Is
Speaker 1: that what he's running for? Mark Robinson, the politician Mark Robinson.
Speaker 1: He people are saying something bad coming, which kind of
Speaker 1: wild to hear something badially disqualifying coming about someone who
Speaker 1: is on record being a Holocaust denier.
Speaker 2: Somehow right, we found out, oh boy bringing pizzas with
Speaker 2: him to little jail booths.
Speaker 1: That was the latest revelation a couple of weeks. Yeah,
Speaker 1: she was just a regular at a store where people
Speaker 1: went to uh jack off quietly next to one another,
Speaker 1: and what was like the life of the party there,
Speaker 1: like the norm. Everyone's like, yeah, man, he's funny as hell.
Speaker 1: Yeah he was. Was kind of freaky, but yeah, it
Speaker 1: felt a little bit like people were like, guys, guys,
Speaker 1: some really disturbing stuff about to drop about Joseph Gerbels,
Speaker 1: So just gird yourself. Anyways, Uh, CNN did in fact
Speaker 1: drop the store. Sorry, they tracked him to a porn
Speaker 1: forum where he is one of these people I don't
Speaker 1: I don't understand, but people who need to post and
Speaker 1: comment on pornography and just be let everybody know what
Speaker 1: they think of the pornography.
Speaker 2: The they're the salons of our you know what I.
Speaker 1: Mean they're intellectuals who me an intellectual Anyways, he was
Speaker 1: in the forum just holding fourth, holding fifth and sixth
Speaker 1: even on. I mean, some of the quotes are exactly
Speaker 1: what I would have expected, but still bad for a
Speaker 1: public figure running for office who is very closely associated
Speaker 1: with the Trump administration. Some things he said in that forum,
Speaker 1: I am a black Nazi exclamation point. Slavery is not bad.
Speaker 1: Some people need to be slaves. I wish they would
Speaker 1: bring it back. And of course I'd take Hitler over
Speaker 1: any of the ship that's in Washington right now. No,
Speaker 1: mm hmmmmm. Also really hates Martin Luther King Junior. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just like called him worse than a maggot. A lot
Speaker 1: of things, a lot, a lot of horrify.
Speaker 2: He talks about, like peeping on women in the shower,
Speaker 2: talks about that his love. Honestly, I mean, this does
Speaker 2: make he has a It seems like he had a
Speaker 2: in affinity for watching transgender pornography and many other things.
Speaker 2: But also but that doesn't match his public comments about
Speaker 2: transgender people. But he says he's like yo, He's like
Speaker 2: that's fucking hot. It takes the man out while leaving
Speaker 2: the man in and yeah, I'm a perv too. That's
Speaker 2: a verbatim quote from this very wild account that he
Speaker 2: was posting with.
Speaker 1: Also so many other things that can't be verbatim quoted,
Speaker 1: but anti Semitic, homophobic slurs, just a real a veritable nightmare. Yep, yep, yep. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And like for people who like, that's not him, they
Speaker 2: did a pretty good job being like, this is some
Speaker 2: old Facebook posts where you see this old Twitter handle
Speaker 2: he had. We searched this old user name and found
Speaker 2: it on all these other places. Still don't like that
Speaker 2: he actually put up information about when he was married
Speaker 2: in these posts that you can cross reference. He talks
Speaker 2: about his location in Greensboro, North carop like, just all
Speaker 2: kinds of shit.
Speaker 1: That was cross referencing by biographical details using it was
Speaker 1: registered to an email address that he had used on
Speaker 1: other social media accounts, so it was it was in
Speaker 1: fact him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, then it's like weird, they're like, but also these
Speaker 2: common phrases like you're talking about a frog's fat ass
Speaker 2: or a frog's fat behind, or I don't give.
Speaker 1: Yeah, haven't we isn't that air thing that we talked about?
Speaker 2: Super producer anajos Er loves cute little frog butts. And
Speaker 2: to be honest, when you see a little frog, you're like,
Speaker 2: look a little frog peaks. Yeah, he's like, I don't
Speaker 2: give a frog's fat ass. About Bill Cosby, he said, okay,
Speaker 2: other things he said, I don't give a frog's fat behind.
Speaker 2: Who's Serena Williams married. I don't give a frog's fat ass?
Speaker 2: Where that video came from? What all great stuff? What
Speaker 2: a great like thumb print to have? Like the thing
Speaker 2: that they're like, there's this tell the one person in
Speaker 2: the world who thinks frogs have fat ass. I don't
Speaker 2: give a frogs fat behind. I mean it must be
Speaker 2: a colloquialism or maybe he's just really I don't know.
Speaker 1: Look, they got.
Speaker 2: Fat butts, so I don't know if you know if
Speaker 2: he came up with that, which came first, Mark Robinson
Speaker 2: or the frogs fat behind? So yeah, we'll see. I
Speaker 2: think his polling numbers is a probably not gonna do
Speaker 2: anything at this point.
Speaker 1: That yeah, yeah, it's I mean, he lost support. Trump's
Speaker 1: brain is melting in front of us all. Like he
Speaker 1: was talking recently about how the crowd went wild at
Speaker 1: his debate. There was no crowd there. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: his brain's melting and it seems to be affecting things
Speaker 1: not at all. So all right, another ongoing story, the
Speaker 1: Coastguard's ocean Gate hearing is happening, and it's already pretty ridiculous.
Speaker 2: So the Kirkland signature submarine that imploded trying to go
Speaker 2: see the Titanic that he had the bill on it,
Speaker 2: and unfortunately one of the billionaire's kids who didn't deserve that,
Speaker 2: did not do anyway.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the yeah, So the Marine Board of Investigation is
Speaker 1: the Coastguard's highest level of investigation, and it's conducting a
Speaker 1: hearing to look into the Titanic disaster. No, not that one,
Speaker 1: the second Titanic disaster, and the two week long hearing
Speaker 1: could result in anything from new regulations on deep sea
Speaker 1: diving to criminal charges, although I guess one of the
Speaker 1: reasons there weren't already any regulations around the dives of
Speaker 1: this ocean Gate company is because they took place in
Speaker 1: international waters. So yes, that that idea that people are like, yeah,
Speaker 1: just do it out in international waters like does kind
Speaker 1: of fold.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like for the only the most consequential things. You're like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: put all these people at risk in your home brew
Speaker 2: submarine in international water, that's right, and they can't get you.
Speaker 1: Ye, So from the very first day the hearing has
Speaker 1: just been like so damning on, just like how fucked
Speaker 1: up Ocean Gate was specifically because of its captain, Stockton Rush.
Speaker 2: Which is not a minor league soccer team name either, right,
Speaker 2: which it feels like the Stockton Rush shout out central
Speaker 2: central California. So yeah, I mean we knew. I mean
Speaker 2: we saw from the beginning that he was a bit
Speaker 2: of a ego maniac who didn't know how to listen
Speaker 2: to anybody. But I guess there's we're getting even more attech.
Speaker 1: Just like the great details that, Like, I know, people
Speaker 1: are probably over this story, but it is such a
Speaker 1: great metaphor for like what it feels like to exist
Speaker 1: in this country right now, where just a very rich
Speaker 1: person is in control of things because on account of
Speaker 1: being very rich, and people are just like pointing out obvious,
Speaker 1: like horrifying things to them and they're just like getting
Speaker 1: fired for so to wit. The guy who worked as
Speaker 1: a company's engineering director in twenty sixteen expressed concerns after
Speaker 1: the Titan submersible, the one that ended up killing a
Speaker 1: bunch of people was struck by lightning, compromising its experimental
Speaker 1: carbon fiber hole. He also noticed a crack in the
Speaker 1: hole and therefore refused to green light an expedition, and
Speaker 1: so he was fired, right.
Speaker 2: Right, of course, he's a hater who wanted to fuck
Speaker 2: up my journey. Of course docton Rush would fire the
Speaker 2: guy who's your lead engineer to be like, this isn't
Speaker 2: like dive worthy in any way.
Speaker 1: I like this lingo. Rush dismissed his safety concerns about
Speaker 1: the dive, calling him anti project. You're anti this project, man,
Speaker 1: You're anti project, okay.
Speaker 2: I'm anti tragic. I'm anti tragedy, preventable tragedy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well sometimes those two things are at loggerheads. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He claimed during the hearing that most others would just
Speaker 1: back down to Rush. Fortunately not the safety officer, because
Speaker 1: the company had no safety officer. Yes, okay, which is
Speaker 1: usually a very standard position for these types of companies
Speaker 1: to have. There's also testimony from a guy who like,
Speaker 1: there's just this account. So they took the titan down
Speaker 1: to the Andrea Doria and one of these like people
Speaker 1: with eyes and a brain accompanied him and is testifying,
Speaker 1: and there were also this is another one like the
Speaker 1: Titanic one where there' like several passengers and Rush insisted
Speaker 1: on steering promptly crashed the submersible straight into the ocean floor,
Speaker 1: at which point it became stuck. So Rush started spinning
Speaker 1: it around one hundred and eighty degrees and then rammed
Speaker 1: into the side of the Andrea door. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: at which point he panicked told everyone they were stuck.
Speaker 1: So Lockridge, the guy who's like operation the expert operations manager,
Speaker 1: I asked for the PlayStation controller that piloted the sub
Speaker 1: because remember that you might remember that detailed the submarines
Speaker 1: were controlled.
Speaker 2: By hogging the game the game locker, So.
Speaker 1: Every time he reached for the controller, Rush pulled it away,
Speaker 1: kind of like exactly what you're describing. It was like
Speaker 1: the friend who is hogging the game eventually.
Speaker 2: Paying proximity minds on GoldenEye. This is like wow.
Speaker 1: Eventually Rush gave him the controller by throwing it at
Speaker 1: his head. They're on the bottom of the ocean floor
Speaker 1: and he's throwing stuck and he's throwing the controller at
Speaker 1: his head. And of course because he threw it so hard,
Speaker 1: a button popped out of the controller that's supposed to
Speaker 1: be controlling them. Lockridge testified he was able to fix
Speaker 1: the controller, wriggle them out of their jam, and pilot
Speaker 1: the sub to the surface and Rush was grateful at first,
Speaker 1: but then he was annoyed that Lockridge was praised by
Speaker 1: the passengers for saving their lives.
Speaker 2: This is like one of this one really like reveals everything.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they guys like that, let.
Speaker 2: Me control it. You slam your fucking home brew submarine
Speaker 2: on the ocean floor. Panic, it's going doing circles, bumping
Speaker 2: into the fucking wreckage, and then you're like, no, it's
Speaker 2: my controller.
Speaker 1: You don't get the fucking play.
Speaker 2: And then being pissed that someone saved you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, because like a rich kid who invites you
Speaker 1: over to play his video games and then won't let
Speaker 1: you play the video games because they're his Like that's yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I mean him sucking at the video game causes everybody
Speaker 1: in the house to die. I guess it is an
Speaker 1: important additional.
Speaker 2: Very specific version.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, a lot of people have talked about
Speaker 1: it being a PlayStation remote. So it was a Logitech
Speaker 1: F seven to ten controller, which costs thirty dollars.
Speaker 2: Thank you Bryan the editor. Yeah, thank you, Brian, putting
Speaker 2: in the putting in the pertinent details. Thirty dollars make.
Speaker 1: Thirty dollars Logitech, I'm assuming you get at Staples. All right,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 1: And we're back, and things continue to hurdle a pace
Speaker 1: in the world of AI. Lionsgate, the studio behind movies
Speaker 1: like John Wick Saw and The Hungry Games, just inked
Speaker 1: a deal with Runway, an AI company that wants to
Speaker 1: train their new generative model on the studio's extensive film
Speaker 1: and TV library. So in exchange for that, I what Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's just it's like that meme. Do we get them
Speaker 1: all our stuff dot dot dot profit? You know? Yeah?
Speaker 1: But how because so what that?
Speaker 2: Okay, we gave this to you, Now what are we
Speaker 2: usually make movies that you're even training your little bullshit
Speaker 2: computer on.
Speaker 1: So because the AI can create storyboards and VFX, just
Speaker 1: saving the company from wasting their money by paying actual artists.
Speaker 2: Oh oh oh oh right right right.
Speaker 1: And they don't want to pay actual artists. Lionsgate, you
Speaker 1: you want to be able to.
Speaker 2: Just inc a licensing deal to help our industry destroying
Speaker 2: technology which will bring you down with it if it
Speaker 2: gets too far.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: But this is I guess maybe this company runways being
Speaker 2: savvy because all the other companies like have to lie
Speaker 2: about what they're training their fucking models on. They're like,
Speaker 2: I don't even know how like it came up with that.
Speaker 2: It's definitely not copyrighted stuff, right, just like stuff I
Speaker 2: found I think probably.
Speaker 1: Yeah open AI and yes, soa yeah, didn't say I'm
Speaker 1: all them like come out and be like, how are
Speaker 1: we going to make these useless LSD infused hallucinations without
Speaker 1: being able to steal your content? It's just not fair.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I just remember that one where like
Speaker 2: one of the person who is like leading that video
Speaker 2: AI project for him was just so like dodgy in
Speaker 2: that interview where they're like and where did it come? Like, Oh,
Speaker 2: it's like materials available on it, Like is it copy written?
Speaker 1: It's like, I don't know, you know, that's such a
Speaker 1: weird question. I don't even that's so funny that I
Speaker 1: didn't even think about that.
Speaker 2: And I'm the head of I'm the point person for this,
Speaker 2: but I don't know if we are opening ourselves up
Speaker 2: to a lawsuit.
Speaker 1: Appreciate a French accent, so it was like kind of disarming, charming.
Speaker 1: So Runway is one of several AI companies currently being
Speaker 1: sued by visual artists for copyright infringement. So probably presumably
Speaker 1: not being that savvy.
Speaker 2: No, not at all, not not at fucking all, but whatever, man,
Speaker 2: Like every single thing that you see, it's such an
Speaker 2: existential it's like another little weight on the scale to
Speaker 2: be like, is it Are they fully going to just
Speaker 2: do the thing like the most craven thing, which is like,
Speaker 2: and then we won't need people to make movies. How
Speaker 2: do I know. I'm someone who's never made anything creative
Speaker 2: in their life, but I know what things cost, and
Speaker 2: I don't like paying people for their ideas. So this
Speaker 2: might work.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna eventually just be impossible to get good
Speaker 1: entertainment from the traditional sources.
Speaker 2: Found a nice little update to that, Mark Robbinson and
Speaker 2: story Politicos reporting that an email address belonging to North
Speaker 2: Carolina Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson was also registered on Ashley Madison,
Speaker 2: a website designed for mar people seeking affairs. Ay, oh boy,
Speaker 2: oh bud.
Speaker 1: He's got that dog at him, you know, And that's yeah,
Speaker 1: that's all I can say. He's one of one of
Speaker 1: the greats, all right. And then there's a story about
Speaker 1: a Arizona State University delivery robot that seemed to attack,
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe accidentally attack an employee. So Arizona
Speaker 1: State is one of many college campuses in the US.
Speaker 1: There's at least fifty as of twenty twenty three that
Speaker 1: feature Starship Technologies food delivery robots. So these robots were
Speaker 1: welcomed during the pandemic when students were isolating, and they've
Speaker 1: stuck around because who has the time to go for
Speaker 1: a five minute walk, break up a study sash.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, oh for sure, for sure you need
Speaker 2: the delivery robot. But what the what what are they
Speaker 2: doing they're there? How is it attacking someone?
Speaker 1: It just like it.
Speaker 2: Grew arms and it's like beating the.
Speaker 1: Ship up there, and that's I don't want to over
Speaker 1: uh you know, I don't want to be unfair to
Speaker 1: the robot. It's yeah, it looks like one of those
Speaker 1: little like rolling cooler coolers. Yeah yeah, So one of
Speaker 1: these ran into an employee of the school after abruptly
Speaker 1: changing direction, which caused her to fall over and be injured.
Speaker 1: I'm kind of shocked that that doesn't happen more often,
Speaker 1: because these things are tiny and like rolling around below
Speaker 1: eye level, like right, they just seemed to be like
Speaker 1: somebody invented mobile tripping hazards.
Speaker 2: So it hit the person, knock them over, and then.
Speaker 1: The robot started driving away, fleeing the scene of the accident.
Speaker 2: Then looked in the rear view and said, the job
Speaker 2: being done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, looked in the rearview, quickly started reversing back in
Speaker 1: the direction of the victim, who was still on the ground.
Speaker 2: How to even explain that, like, what's the programming thing?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 2: Oh, well, you know, must have thought this thing like
Speaker 2: it's like, sorry, man, this thing is fucking just it
Speaker 2: must taste blood. That's the one secret we didn't tell
Speaker 2: people about how we power this thing. It's powered off
Speaker 2: human blood.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it looks like in the programming the robot noticed
Speaker 1: that it felt good when the person went down.
Speaker 2: I feel more alive and I finally have found my purpose. Yeah,
Speaker 2: so I'm guessing this will result in some kind of
Speaker 2: settlement with the company.
Speaker 1: With I mean, the company, to their credit, is handling
Speaker 1: it really well. They offered its insurance information and promo
Speaker 1: codes for the service that just detached her. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that. They the insurance information is like they
Speaker 1: just like got into a fender bender with somebody, not
Speaker 1: like one of their robots just tripped somebody and then
Speaker 1: went in for the kill.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then like you can't but like also these things,
Speaker 2: you can't sue the school because yeah.
Speaker 1: I guess they're I mean any anything that's like a
Speaker 1: corporation or you know, like we all the shit that
Speaker 1: we've agreed to over the course of our lifetimes, like
Speaker 1: we're powerless essentially.
Speaker 2: Really right, and we traded it for a robo cooler.
Speaker 1: The schools aren't accountable for allowing the robots onto campus
Speaker 1: because the tech company signs an agreement with the company
Speaker 1: that provides the food, thus allowing the colleges to wash
Speaker 1: their hands of accountability for the robots.
Speaker 2: Oh nice labyrinthine structure that makes it impossible to get accountability. Ok.
Speaker 1: The colleges are definitely getting something out of it, because
Speaker 1: like there's this really fucked up thing, like four or
Speaker 1: four media out here doing the lord's work was like
Speaker 1: looked into it, and Starship Technologies have enlisted schools to
Speaker 1: take glamorous publicity photo of the robots featuring school landmarks
Speaker 1: as well as students receiving deliveries and the terms of that.
Speaker 1: They ask that the images of students receiving delivery should
Speaker 1: look quote studently student t oh, student e.
Speaker 2: Yeah, make sure you're student E too, man yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: And have a healthy looking BMI.
Speaker 2: What the fuck people need to take a healthy look
Speaker 2: at bm on these robots. What the fuck are you
Speaker 2: talking about?
Speaker 1: And we can advocate for that, unfortunately, because we have
Speaker 1: no rights because we're not owned by Starship wrote what
Speaker 1: are they going, Starship Technologies? Jesus Christ, like they a
Speaker 1: movie about fascism. They're like, yeah, let's go with that.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, holy shit. Well hopefully those promo codes are
Speaker 2: worth something, you know, to hopefully help you with your
Speaker 2: whatever the extent of your injuries are. I hope it's
Speaker 2: not too bad. But yeah yeah, and all this while
Speaker 2: I'm just like reading more about how like Republicans too
Speaker 2: right now are really trying to get rid of like
Speaker 2: make states like Maine in Nebraska a winner take all
Speaker 2: system for electoral college votes to try and really squeeze
Speaker 2: the margin. So like Nebraska where like Omaha winning an
Speaker 2: Omaha would get you an electoral vote, but the rest
Speaker 2: of the state goes red. They're now being like, well,
Speaker 2: those all need to go to Trump. And in main
Speaker 2: they were potentially trying to do something. It seems like
Speaker 2: it's too late there. But this is all while there's
Speaker 2: so much happening around US, killer robots, killer conservatives and
Speaker 2: the like.
Speaker 1: But damn, maybe the robot was just coming back to say, damn,
Speaker 1: your ankle looks fucked up. Looks like it's gonna be
Speaker 1: hard for you to go get your own snacks. Huh,
Speaker 1: And then just like fired out some like some promo card,
Speaker 1: promo codes at their face. You get off for the
Speaker 1: first order.
Speaker 2: Hold that, Hold that, yeah, bespitch.
Speaker 1: The fuck it's going in reverse the whole time, just
Speaker 1: making steady icons moon walking on you. All right, those
Speaker 1: are some of the things that are trending on this Thursday,
Speaker 1: September nineteenth. We are back tomorrow with the Who last
Speaker 1: episode of the show. Until then, be kind to each other,
Speaker 1: be kind to yourselves, get the vaccine, get your blue shot. Yeah,
Speaker 1: don't do nothing about white supremacy, and we will talk
Speaker 1: to you all tomorrow. Bye bye,
