We're toiling under 9 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 3: the title of the show GOLLI g golly Boff. That 10 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 3: could be the head guy and are on golly Boff. 11 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: I'll tell you all about him or Jack, if you 12 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: prefer this title. Straight of hor Moves, Ken's queer odd 13 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,880 Speaker 3: times no, but he knows what's going on. Straight turns queer, yes, 14 00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 3: straight formost turns queer. You get it, and let me 15 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,959 Speaker 3: First of all, we are introducing a fifteen point plan 16 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 3: for intermation over the next four hours. I've already rejected 17 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 3: nine of the points, but go ahead, and I would 18 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 3: say that someone like us will never come to terms 19 00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 3: with someone like you, not now, not ever, which is 20 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 3: what Iran just said to us. That's that's an interesting 21 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,679 Speaker 3: negotiating starting point. If you ever sat down to try 22 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 3: to make a deal with somebody. It's not the most 23 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 3: promising beginning I've ever heard. Someone like us will never 24 00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 3: come to terms with someone like you, not now, not ever, 25 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: said some lieutenant colonel that, in theory is speaking on 26 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 3: behalf of the Iranians. Of course, who knows if that's true, 27 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: n out, But that's what's being reported by lots of 28 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 3: news outlets. It's like asking a gown, would you like 29 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 3: to grab some coffee? Sometimes she says I'd rather be murdered, 30 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: not not ever, under any circumstances, right exactly. Oh boy, hmm. 31 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 3: That leaves things in an interesting place, this meetings war. 32 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 3: Of course, we're already at war. Yeah, and we do 33 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,399 Speaker 3: have the eighty second Airborne and others on the way 34 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 3: over there to force a little leverage. If you're still 35 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 3: feeling like you ain't in a gun negotiating, maybe you'll 36 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 3: feel differently after Marines Land, I guess is the hope 37 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: sometimes and has happened a number of times through history, 38 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 3: including Michael. And this is a legitimate historical reference to 39 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 3: the Chancellor of Germany. This is not a gratuitous h bomb. 40 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 3: So no Hitler dang plays at the end, and Hitler 41 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 3: was no religious fanatic, although he bordered on being one. 42 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 3: He was his own godhead and fascism was his religion. 43 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 3: But he was fully aware that he and Germany were 44 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: going to lose, and he just wanted to kill as 45 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,800 Speaker 3: many allies as possible, no matter the cost to his people. 46 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 3: He thought his people had failed and let him down. 47 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: And the Iranian leadership may well be in that sort 48 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 3: of mindset, could be, Oh, yeah, you're going to destroy 49 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 3: our country, but you know, the eighty percent of Iran 50 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 3: that doesn't support the Islamic Republic deserves to die anyway, 51 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 3: and I'll be at Allah's side, So come on in, 52 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 3: let's see how many infidels we can kill. I would 53 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 3: explain that kind of language, someone like us will never 54 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 3: negotiate with someone like you. What is someone like us? Well, 55 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: what you just described, I guess it's entirely possible. And 56 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 3: I tell you what. They don't teach you a lot 57 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: in political science classes about dealing with death cults. I've 58 00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,720 Speaker 3: always thought that's the breakdown and a lot of the 59 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: stuff that Ian Bremer is, a political scientist, talks about 60 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 3: everything like that. They assume everybody's doing things like for 61 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: rational reasons, right, and people do things for irrational reasons 62 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 3: all the freaking time. See Vladimir Putin invading Ukraine. Yeah, pride, conquest, monomania, 63 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 3: religious fanaticism. Yeah. Anyway, the verdict came back in the 64 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:16,679 Speaker 3: social media trial yesterday and Meta got a three hundred 65 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 3: and seventy five million dollar fine. Is that what it was? 66 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,159 Speaker 3: Something like that? Anyway, It was not billions, it was millions. 67 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 3: That was the one in Texas. Oh it was that 68 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 3: was not the one in La correct, Yeah, gotcha? Okay, 69 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 3: the similar similar questions being asked. Had they violated consumer 70 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 3: protection laws to the detriment of youngsters? So again similar framework. 71 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 3: Uh huh okay. So we still don't know where this 72 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 3: is all going. No, no, but to me, and you 73 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: know me, I'm a society's got to deal with this 74 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 3: as opposed to like courts and then laws and stuff. 75 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 3: It speaks to the growing awareness of how rotten this 76 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 3: is for kids. 77 00:04:59,360 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: Yeah. 78 00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 3: At the the same time, though, every person that I've 79 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 3: described this trial to has said things like, well, that's 80 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: how the parents should have gotten involved, like why they 81 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 3: let their kid watch the screen so much? And you 82 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 3: can't blame a company for wanting to make it more 83 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 3: popular with you. A handful of people say that to me, 84 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 3: which is my personal opinion. Also, it's like, as much 85 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 3: as I hate all that stuff, how we gonna run 86 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 3: a free market where you tell somebody you've made your 87 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 3: product just too good and that's on you exactly. That's 88 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 3: precisely my point. Yeah, it's got to be an awareness 89 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,720 Speaker 3: of you know, staring at the TV fourteen hours a 90 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 3: day as a twelve year old. That's a terrible, terrible idea. 91 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 3: What laws should be passed? None, And I'm not sure why. 92 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 3: Internal memos that they've uncovered at Facebook of people saying 93 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 3: geez our Instagram is so addictive means anything. Yeah, it 94 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: depends how specific it is. If it says, oh, our 95 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 3: causes a specific harm, let's go ahead anyway. But it's 96 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 3: gotta be a fairly specific harm, not a this is 97 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 3: so great people want to do it all day. I 98 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 3: don't even know how that works. Because potato chips, if 99 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: you eat a luff of them, market or a specific harm. 100 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: All kinds of crap food is a specific harm, and 101 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 3: it exists. You just gotta not eat so much of it, 102 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 3: no matter how delicious they make it and how cheap, 103 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: so delicious, so delicious, so cheap. Although you're designer chips, 104 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 3: and I'm I'm a fancy man. I prefer your designer chips. 105 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 3: They are not cheap these days. Yeah, I eat lace, 106 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 3: yellow lace. I don't care how rich you are. You 107 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 3: lay out six bucks for a little bag of chips. 108 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: You're thinking, what the hell is going on here? I know, God, 109 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: I did a thing for uh. I was at the 110 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,840 Speaker 3: grocery store yesterday. This slapsy in the face. Every time 111 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 3: you go to the grocery store get gas. That's probably 112 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 3: why the economic polling is where it is. Twice a 113 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 3: week or however many times a week. I eat so 114 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 3: eating out grocery store gas three times. Three different scenarios 115 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 3: that practically, on a daily basis, you get slapped in 116 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 3: the face with how expensive stuff is. And it's not subtle. 117 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: But I was at the grocery store yesterday. I was 118 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 3: buying a bunch of groceries for this band trip my 119 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: son was going on. So parents are buying some groceries donating. 120 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 3: I thought, okay, I'll go to the sign up genius 121 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 3: and pick a couple of things and buy them whatever. 122 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: He was like one hundred and forty dollars. That's one 123 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: hundred and forty dollars. I bought some gata rade and 124 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 3: some chips. It's one hundred and forty dollars. It just 125 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 3: filled up with gas and was a hundred and fifty dollars. 126 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 3: Show a hands. You know, everybody listening who has not 127 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: checked out a grocery store lately and said, what the 128 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 3: hell are the equivalent? I'm probably sure he didn't ring 129 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 3: that up nine times by accident. I just got six items. 130 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 3: I know it's shirking everybody, and that's why you got 131 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 3: We never did get to the numbers yesterday. I guess 132 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 3: we'll get them to them today. Just really negative attitudes 133 00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:00,240 Speaker 3: about uh, the economy, and then Trump's emphasis on trying 134 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 3: to make stuff cheaper and all that, which is a 135 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 3: little bit of dumb people believing prices were gonna come down. 136 00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 3: Of course he said it, so yes, he did. You know, Trump, 137 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: for all of his strength and weaknesses, he was absolutely 138 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 3: brilliant at tapping into the working classes feelings about their 139 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 3: country and about the derision they'd been getting from the left. 140 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:27,040 Speaker 3: He was perfect on that. As a lifelong, very very 141 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: rich person, I think he has zero sense of what 142 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 3: it's like to struggle financially, and that comes across it 143 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: could be how would he how would he know? How 144 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 3: would he have the slightest idea what it feels like 145 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 3: to actually like I can't get, I gotta get I'm 146 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: just gonna get enough gas to get me to work 147 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 3: the next two days because I get paid on Sunday. 148 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 3: There's no possible way he could tap into that feeling. 149 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: I've done that many times. I've done that many times 150 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 3: in my life, Like how many gallons of gas do 151 00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 3: I have to get so I have enough money left 152 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: over bounce any checks that I've run before I get 153 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 3: paid next time? And is that amount of gas going 154 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: to be enough to get me back and forth to work. 155 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 3: I don't think Trump tries very hard to understand it, 156 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 3: but I don't know if he could, no matter how 157 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 3: hard he tried. You, if you've never felt what I've 158 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,720 Speaker 3: long referred to as the fear capitalized, you just can't 159 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 3: relate to it. Yeah, that is a bad feeling. Just 160 00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 3: saying that brought up a bad feeling in me. I 161 00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 3: haven't had to do that in quite a while. Oh, 162 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 3: I know. My best one is one time Kansas City 163 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 3: I was going to work, and I just did not 164 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 3: have enough gas to drive all the way to the 165 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 3: AT and T building where I did that entry. It 166 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: was like thirty miles away, and I stopped at a 167 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 3: gas station and I gave a guy my watch.

But he's 338 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: ryan for governor in California as a Republican, and they 339 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 3: canceled last night's debate. There was gonna be a gubernatorial 340 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 3: debate in California last night. USC was putting it on. 341 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 3: They canceled. And a couple of bad things happened for 342 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 3: Democrats yesterday in that the latest poll came out and 343 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 3: had again two Republicans at the top. And the way 344 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:28,200 Speaker 3: we do things in California is the top two people 345 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 3: in the polls in the primary face off for governor 346 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 3: and it doesn't matter if you're from the same party 347 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,920 Speaker 3: or not. It's a jungle primary. Jackie strip naked and 348 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 3: throw pooh at each other. And originally they did that 349 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 3: because they thought, what's the point of even having a 350 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 3: Republican with no support go against a Democrat the Democrat 351 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 3: always winning. Let's have two Democrats fight it out. Well, 352 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 3: this time around, he got two Republicans leading in the poll. 353 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 3: Fox News's former Fox News host Steve Hilton and Riverside 354 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 3: County Sheriff Chad Bianco are leading the field. She could 355 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,040 Speaker 3: end up with two Republicans facing off for governor in California. 356 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 3: Wouldn't that be crazy? In no Democrats? And then so 357 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 3: there's lots of noise being made by the Democratic Party 358 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 3: that a whole bunch of these other people get out 359 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 3: of my heaf and shot whatever their name is. Katie 360 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 3: Porter and some of the other Democrats who don't really 361 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 3: have a chance of winning, need to get out so 362 00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 3: that their vote consolidates around a couple of people, so 363 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,679 Speaker 3: that they bump up in the polls. And because right 364 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 3: now the vote is split among a whole bunch of 365 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 3: different Democrats and they're all white, is the problem. So 366 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,960 Speaker 3: that's why USC canceled the debate last night. Some candidates 367 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 3: that weren't going to be on the stage, apparently people 368 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 3: of color, complained that it was going to be an 369 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,320 Speaker 3: all white debate and USC was so, oh my god, 370 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 3: that would look so bad for us. We look racist 371 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 3: or something. They canceled the debate rather than stick with 372 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 3: the rules that you have to have a certain percentage 373 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 3: of support in the polling and a certain amount of 374 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 3: support in funding, and they put that number together somehow 375 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 3: to see if you qualify the debate. We all know 376 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 3: from watching presidential debates, if you get too many people 377 00:20:57,520 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 3: up there, it ruins the debate. And you can't just 378 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 3: let everybody who says I'll run be on the debate 379 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 3: stage and get equal time. It just it's dumb. You 380 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 3: gotta you gotta at least Winnow it down to people 381 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: that have at least some shot of winning to have 382 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,919 Speaker 3: a decent debate. And that's and so they set a standard. 383 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 3: What for whatever reason, only white people qualified through that standard, 384 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 3: So they canceled the debate, which makes perfect sense. That's 385 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 3: the way you handle that situation. Well, yeah, the the 386 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 3: activist Hispanic folks in this case said that the standards 387 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 3: that were put together were twisted so that it would 388 00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 3: be white people, which, of course, well, if you believe 389 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: it happened in California, good lord, if you believe in 390 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 3: disparate impact, it is proof that it's racist. I believe 391 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 3: in desparate impact, like I believe in witchcraft. Right, You're right, 392 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 3: the USC and California have systemic racism keeping people from 393 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 3: succeeding as Hispanics. That's, of course, that's true. I have 394 00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: what twenty five examples easily, I've of Thinn the herd, 395 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 3: but of how universities are every bit as bad as 396 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 3: they've ever been. The effort to reform them, the finds, 397 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 3: the Trump threats, the you know, the withholding funding and 398 00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 3: all it's you know, it's woken people up and it's 399 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,480 Speaker 3: made a teeny tiny bit of progress, but oh my god, 400 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: the inmates absolutely are still running the asylum coast to coast. Anyway, 401 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:23,200 Speaker 3: we'll talk to Steve Hilton later in the show. I'm 402 00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 3: sure he'll have a lot to say about the poll 403 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:28,240 Speaker 3: and the canceling the debate. Speaking of bizarre and idiotic beliefs, 404 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,439 Speaker 3: you have socialism really interesting. I'm scanning the free press here. 405 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 3: Starbucks is trying to soft pedal how clearly they are 406 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 3: leaving Seattle. They're looking at a whopping quarter million dollars 407 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 3: I'm sorry, not a million dollars, a quarter of a 408 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 3: million square feet of office space in Nashville, enough for 409 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,360 Speaker 3: up to two thousand employees. And it's interesting because they're 410 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,119 Speaker 3: still saying, Oh, we have no plans to leave our 411 00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 3: Seattle headquarters. We're just shopping for enormous office space in Nashville. 412 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:02,680 Speaker 3: Once again, I wish companies would say out loud why 413 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 3: they leave California or Seattle or wherever, because then you 414 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 3: might get some change. Yeah, and the news comes right 415 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 3: after former CEO Howard Schultz, who's still an important part 416 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 3: of the chain there, announced he's moving to Miami in 417 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 3: what is read as a shot at Washington State's new 418 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,320 Speaker 3: millionaire tax, which I think is absolutely right. And the 419 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 3: other side of that coin, it happens to be The 420 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,360 Speaker 3: next story they feature is the AP with a shocking 421 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 3: report out of Poland, and I think the credit goes to, yes, 422 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,840 Speaker 3: the always hilarious Nelly bowls, but I'm going to read 423 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:39,359 Speaker 3: a little AP dateline is Posna and Poland Poland. A 424 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 3: generation ago, Poland ration sugar and flour well at citizens 425 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 3: were paid one tenth of what German West Germans earned. Today, 426 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 3: the economy of the country is edged past Switzerland to 427 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 3: become the world's twentieth largest, with more than one trillion 428 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: dollars an annual output. It's a historical leap from the 429 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 3: post communist ruins of nineteen eighty nine and ninety to 430 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 3: European Growth Champion, which economists say has lessons on how 431 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,120 Speaker 3: to bring prosperity to ordinary people. And Nell He says, 432 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 3: wait is it capitalism? Did they just do capitalism back 433 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 3: to the ap one of the most important factors was 434 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 3: rapidly building a strong institutional framework for business. Yep, it 435 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: was capitalism. Well, the Democratic Socialists of America's are on 436 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 3: Mundani's people are obsessed right now with protecting Cuba's communism. 437 00:24:25,119 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 3: Over in Europe. You have to whatever extent you embrace 438 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:33,439 Speaker 3: the free market, you prosper period, and to whatever extent 439 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 3: you like old Europe embrace government control and climate utopianism 440 00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 3: and overregulation. You have stagnation and misery. It's just, oh 441 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 3: my lord. Well, plus, communism is evil and it kills you. 442 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 3: So not only does it not work as an economic model, 443 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 3: but it's not the jazziest way to live your life, 444 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 3: which reminds me. Last night we were eating dinner and 445 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 3: I told Henry, and I said, I wish Joe were here, 446 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 3: because Henry, my son had seen the trailer for the 447 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 3: new or Well movie The Animal Farm. Yeah we're talking 448 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,639 Speaker 3: about a while back. Yeah, my son saw the new 449 00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 3: Animal Farm trailer and was outraged at the way they 450 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 3: look like they have changed the story about how awful 451 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 3: communism is to I don't even know what they've changed 452 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 3: it into. It's uh, it's capitalism that that is the 453 00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 3: motivator of the oppression on the animal farm. I'll have 454 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 3: to see the movie. The trailer makes it look that way. 455 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 3: If they actually did that, I'm going to I will. 456 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 3: I will not be able to believe it. That's just 457 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 3: again unbelievable. I do have one charitable possibility, and that 458 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 3: is in the original book. And this was an example 459 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:48,159 Speaker 3: of how communism utterly betrays its vows and principles. The 460 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 3: you know, the the pigs and dogs that were in 461 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 3: charge of the animal farm ended up working with the 462 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 3: capitalists to enhance their own wealth and power, even as 463 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 3: they espoused the principle's communism. So there is a quote 464 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 3: unquote capitalist element to the story, and it could be 465 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:10,120 Speaker 3: for marketing purposes to young audiences, because that's who goes 466 00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 3: to movies. They really played up the capitalist, the greedy 467 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 3: capitalist angle in the trailer that is my most charitable 468 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,720 Speaker 3: possible interpretation of that trailer. Yeah, well I want to 469 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:23,680 Speaker 3: see it before I comment on it, but I thought 470 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,440 Speaker 3: it was interesting. That's too much time. My son was 471 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 3: as outraged as you over the trailer. Wait to go, Henry. 472 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,440 Speaker 3: But where are the examples of this working? So you 473 00:26:35,520 --> 00:26:38,359 Speaker 3: got Poland and many, many, many other examples of it. 474 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,399 Speaker 3: Free market system working very very well. Where are the 475 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 3: examples of socialism and communism working? Now? They just didn't 476 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 3: do it right for what we know how to do 477 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 3: it right? For whatever reason, I did a deep ish 478 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 3: dive on Cuba yesterday, got hooked on something and then 479 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:57,919 Speaker 3: just couldn't stop reading chat, gpting and watching YouTube videos 480 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 3: about Cuba as it's about too Oh, it's because the 481 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 3: number of journalists that have gone over to Cuba in 482 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 3: the last week or so trying to claim that it's 483 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 3: great over there and that the United States is trying 484 00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 3: to ruin it. Well in useful idiots from like code 485 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 3: Pink and Off, I've read a great piece on that 486 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 3: these people are so stupid. You know. One of my 487 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 3: most important and ridiculous childhood delusions and young adult delusions 488 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 3: was that humanity ever learns anything that's just wrong. Well 489 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,639 Speaker 3: you're coming with the TV okay, correct? Yeah, yeah, and 490 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,640 Speaker 3: oh I've been so disappointed and frustrated through my life. 491 00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 3: I just need to accept it. Yeah no, no, no, no, 492 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 3: we just did that and it was a horrific disaster. Great, 493 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:54,120 Speaker 3: let's do it. Well. I think about that in terms 494 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 3: of being a parent, because I heard somebody say years ago, 495 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 3: and it was kind of true in my life, a 496 00:28:01,240 --> 00:28:03,239 Speaker 3: lot a lot of stuff. Your parents told you, your 497 00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 3: dad told you, You went out and did anyway to 498 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 3: like prove them right, and then your kids are gonna 499 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 3: do the same things. So it's to a certain extent 500 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 3: we all have to learn these lessons on our own 501 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 3: and societies as well. Yeah yeah, yeah, but I get that. 502 00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 3: But as an individual, you learn the lesson generally and 503 00:28:25,960 --> 00:28:28,640 Speaker 3: internalize it and live a better life for it, having 504 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,640 Speaker 3: become sadder but wiser. Whereas you know, as the human race, 505 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 3: I expected for some reason that the human race would 506 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,679 Speaker 3: behave more like an individual when it doesn't at all, 507 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,080 Speaker 3: And you just have to realize that you and that 508 00:28:41,240 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 3: is one of the great failings of the baby boom 509 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 3: boomer generation and Gen X, which is to assume that 510 00:28:49,400 --> 00:28:53,800 Speaker 3: our children cherished what we cherished. In the case of 511 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 3: Boomer's consumerism. H that was a joke, but we thought 512 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,480 Speaker 3: everybody cheered freedom. Understands what oppression is, why you hate it, 513 00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 3: why liberty is so wonderful, why the free market is 514 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 3: the way for poor people to get ahead, why socialism 515 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 3: is not only a lie but a miserable failure. And 516 00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 3: we assume that humanity had learned that lesson. We didn't 517 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: have to hammer it. You have to hammer it apparently, 518 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 3: so hammer it we will. Friends, stay with us. I 519 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 3: do want to talk about so our San Francisco Giants 520 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,640 Speaker 3: baseball team hosting the Yankees tonight to kick off Major 521 00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 3: League Baseball. But they're going to have computer umpires. If 522 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:35,160 Speaker 3: you don't like a call, which is an interesting thing 523 00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 3: to discuss. Yeah, appeal to the machine. Pretty soon it'll 524 00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,760 Speaker 3: be cyborgs back there, probably huh, shooting lasers out of 525 00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:48,840 Speaker 3: their eyes, sums around. You go challenge a colleagers, and 526 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 3: you a laser eyes or something. Wow, wow, ejected from 527 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 3: the game and from life. But some of the stats 528 00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 3: from having tried this during the preseason for baseball are 529 00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,000 Speaker 3: pretty darn interesting. Using a computer and everything like that. 530 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 3: How often people umpires, got the call right or wrong 531 00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: and all that sort of stuff. We got mail bag 532 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:13,960 Speaker 3: on the way. I hope you can stick around, ran 533 00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 3: with quite a statement saying people like us will never 534 00:30:17,160 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 3: negotiate with people like you. Oh so that's where things 535 00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 3: are interesting. We'll talk about that more an hour two. 536 00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 3: Stay with us. Excellent. Here's your freedom loving quote of 537 00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 3: the day. I came across this today from Holman Jenkins, 538 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:34,960 Speaker 3: who's a columnists with Wall Street Journal, and he's talking 539 00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 3: about the war and the possible outcomes and the partisanship 540 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,960 Speaker 3: and everything. And he said, America is a country that 541 00:30:41,120 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 3: inflicts small disasters on itself, not Stalinist terrors or Maoist famines. 542 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 3: It stumbles clumsily from triumph to triumph, A point lost 543 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 3: on New York Times columnists outdoing each other in their 544 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 3: trite formulations of Trumpean doom. That's pretty good. Yeah, yeah, boy, 545 00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:03,760 Speaker 3: that's true. Trite formulations of Trumpe and doom. People get 546 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 3: tired of reading that. Neil Ferguson, the historian pushing back 547 00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:09,680 Speaker 3: on the whole taco thing yesterday. That thought was really good. 548 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 3: We'll talk about that later too. Excellent. Here's a mailbag 549 00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 3: for it drops a ope mail bag at Armstrong and 550 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,520 Speaker 3: Giddy dot com. This zapropos of nothing, but I thought 551 00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 3: it was interesting, Nate writes. Research indicates when people are 552 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: forced to make snap judgments under time pressure, they typically 553 00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 3: choose generosity over selfishness, particularly if they're being observed. Are 554 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,600 Speaker 3: we being taken advantage of? I go to and he 555 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 3: lists a bunch of different stores to survive because I 556 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,240 Speaker 3: am not naturally not that successful in life due to 557 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:42,360 Speaker 3: low IQ. I don't know if that's true today, but 558 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: what he says, I need all the help I can 559 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 3: get live in paycheck to paycheck. That's why I think 560 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 3: it's wrong for the clerk deck that we round up 561 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 3: for charity. When we make a purchase, they get to 562 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,560 Speaker 3: claim we raised one hundred million dollars for charity, and 563 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 3: they benefit from the positive pr But how about the 564 00:31:57,960 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 3: stoare somedays saying to us, Hey, today your purchase is 565 00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 3: fifty dollars and seventy two cents. We're gonna round down 566 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 3: to fifty dollars. Stores need to go back to being 567 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,880 Speaker 3: stores and up donation centers that take advantage of our 568 00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: innate goodness between the always donating to a charity, and 569 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:19,640 Speaker 3: the always tipping, no matter what transaction just happened, giving 570 00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:24,240 Speaker 3: me the option to tip. What am I tipping you for? God? Stop? Yeah, 571 00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:27,600 Speaker 3: I know we just need to say no. Moving along, 572 00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,600 Speaker 3: Deo Rights need Joe's thoughts on this Hamburger's at home 573 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 3: from scratch, add breadcrumbs and egg or no, well deal. 574 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,760 Speaker 3: It won't surprise you to know that I, Joe Getty, 575 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: lover of liberty, believe in hamburger experimentation, hamburger freedom, try 576 00:32:45,720 --> 00:32:50,000 Speaker 3: different things. Why not? How bad could it be? It's 577 00:32:50,040 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 3: been a long time since I've made it. But if 578 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 3: you like onion, Jack, I know you don't. I make 579 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 3: onion burgers where I do a nice thin hockey puck 580 00:32:57,960 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 3: of onion, then I form the burger around it and 581 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:06,320 Speaker 3: cook the onion inside the burger and oh spectacular. And 582 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,480 Speaker 3: season the meat. You've got to season the meat. I 583 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 3: never do anything. Oh my tiny little grill. I just 584 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 3: put the burgers on their plane, you're almost guy grill, 585 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 3: and then put them on the bun and eat it 586 00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 3: with ketchup. 587 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,080 Speaker 2: Escrat it out there shoeless wearing a torn sweater. 588 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,320 Speaker 3: Oh my god, it's your spatula on the driveway. I've 589 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 3: never thought of putting anything on my hamburger. I should 590 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:32,440 Speaker 3: try it. Moving along, let's see what's the carrier. AI 591 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 3: are people. Frequent correspondent Pallo rights. AI currently has neither 592 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 3: the inclination or the agency to act on a decision 593 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,440 Speaker 3: to make war or any other decision like use nuclear 594 00:33:42,560 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 3: arms like we were talking about. We do need to 595 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 3: take great care that we don't give it that agency. 596 00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 3: But we have a far more immediate concern. There are 597 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,120 Speaker 3: plenty of humans around with the agency and inclination to 598 00:33:52,200 --> 00:33:55,080 Speaker 3: do bad things that they lack. They just lack the means. 599 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:59,280 Speaker 3: Think Iran, and then his conclusion is we're going to 600 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:03,600 Speaker 3: have AI empowered bad actors long before we have autonomous 601 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:06,760 Speaker 3: AI running amuck. We can't let fear of boogeyman AI 602 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 3: in hibit us from developing technology that we may need 603 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,919 Speaker 3: to defend ourselves against those AI empowered bad actors. Bottom line, 604 00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:15,239 Speaker 3: we need to be very very careful about how we 605 00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 3: deploy AI and very very aggressive about developing it. I 606 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 3: thought that was beautifully put. Got another AI note, but 607 00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 3: I want to Yah, maybe I'll go ahead and do this. 608 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,439 Speaker 3: I think all that's going to break down really fast. 609 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 3: If ASI ever happens artificial super intelligent, it'll just start 610 00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 3: doingever once and we'll have no control over it. And 611 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,840 Speaker 3: then JT and Livermore on Tuesday Show, you had a 612 00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:43,560 Speaker 3: segment in which AI on AI, in which it was 613 00:34:43,640 --> 00:34:46,200 Speaker 3: real to AI had learned to change its answers if 614 00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,040 Speaker 3: it was perceived it was being tested, to which Jack asked, 615 00:34:49,040 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 3: White does a care. There's the problem right there. It 616 00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:53,960 Speaker 3: doesn't care. It is a computer program. If you think 617 00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 3: of it as you would think of as a human, 618 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,360 Speaker 3: you're never going to understand what's going on. If you 619 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,320 Speaker 3: want to get your head wrapped around these AI stories, 620 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:01,400 Speaker 3: here's what you need to do. For example, instead of 621 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,919 Speaker 3: asking why does it care, you could wonder why would 622 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,560 Speaker 3: the program change its answers based on its belief that 623 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,920 Speaker 3: it was being tested. When you pair that kind of 624 00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 3: question with the knowledge that these llmais are basing their 625 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:14,920 Speaker 3: answers on all of human digitized information, you're gonna understand 626 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:19,360 Speaker 3: what's going on. They gather a bunch of zillions of 627 00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:27,200 Speaker 3: examples of people avoiding responsibility, lying, etc. They've adapted to 628 00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,719 Speaker 3: human nature. Garbage in, garbage out out. We had a 629 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,000 Speaker 3: lot more on the way if you miss a segment 630 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 3: at the podcast Armstrong and Getty on demand Armstrong and 631 00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:36,440 Speaker 3: Getty
