Speaker 1: Hello the Internet, and welcome to this episode of gold trend.
Speaker 1: I I was a courtesy a Fighter of the Night
Speaker 1: Man in the discord there it is coming back, Tina Turner.
Speaker 1: Tina Turner did the main song for Golden Eye was
Speaker 1: like nah, and I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 1: I remember I remember being so disappointed too, because I
Speaker 1: think that was the first Bond film I saw in
Speaker 1: the theater and I was like, what the fund is
Speaker 1: this fucking fifteen minute credit sequence? Yeah, because my parents
Speaker 1: usually just fast forward the Timothy Dalton James Bond vhs
Speaker 1: is when we had so I didn't even know anyway,
Speaker 1: they really luxuriate in that in those uh credit sequences sometimes,
Speaker 1: and that's always like, I feel like critics are always like,
Speaker 1: ah and just a gorgeous credit sequence with and I'm
Speaker 1: always just like, yo, what is this seventy two? Like
Speaker 1: what then are we doing? It's very slow? Well, I
Speaker 1: am jack that over there is miles. These are some
Speaker 1: of the things that are trending on this Thursday afternoon.
Speaker 1: Fast food companies are trending. There's something happening in California
Speaker 1: where Californians will basically be voting on the Fast Act
Speaker 1: to possibly overturned the landmark new state law that could
Speaker 1: see the minimum wage for fast food workers raised to
Speaker 1: an hour. So this was supposed to be a new
Speaker 1: law already in January, and then companies including you know
Speaker 1: all all the Favoritespole, Starbucks, your favorites in nat Burger,
Speaker 1: KFC owner Young Brands, spent millions of dollars opposing it
Speaker 1: by donating to the Save Local Restaurants coalition. It's wild
Speaker 1: that these non local restaurants are just so focused on
Speaker 1: a campaign to save local restaurants, you know, but they
Speaker 1: know so tell me this, if I sign this, how
Speaker 1: do I save local restaurants? You want me to have
Speaker 1: signed it now? Oh so you're going to push this
Speaker 1: to a vote in the next major election. That's okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah.
Speaker 1: So this is basically they began their signature gathering campaign
Speaker 1: back on Labor Day to stop the new law and
Speaker 1: basically framed it as a way to, you know, protect
Speaker 1: local restaurants from having to pay these high wages. Again
Speaker 1: not being funded by local restaurants, that's being funded by
Speaker 1: fast food chains. Well, two an hour is quite literally
Speaker 1: the bare minimum, right as for a living wage, like
Speaker 1: when you adjust for ship and I'm sure in California
Speaker 1: would probably even more. But like the irony of not
Speaker 1: the irony, just they keep doing the same fucking tactic
Speaker 1: to like that're like, you know, if if this law passage,
Speaker 1: your hamburgers will be fucking right, because that's what's gonna happen. No,
Speaker 1: it fucking won't. But anyway, like the same kind of
Speaker 1: threats of you know, your prices go up. But really,
Speaker 1: I think most people be like, yeah, I actually know
Speaker 1: more people that would benefit from this than I than
Speaker 1: me thinking are believing that doing this is going to
Speaker 1: somehow make my life worse. Well, all my friends are
Speaker 1: the CEOs of McDonald's and young brands, so I'm very
Speaker 1: concerned about their bottom line and their mood, their mood
Speaker 1: when we're going on a yacht together. The council would
Speaker 1: also oversee health safety and antidiscrimination regulations, so can't have that. Um,
Speaker 1: so they're yeah, they want to get rid of that
Speaker 1: as quickly and efficiently as possible with a fun pr
Speaker 1: campaign about saving local restaurants, and yeah, the talking points
Speaker 1: are fast food prices would sky rocket, people would lose
Speaker 1: their job, that's every time. It was with rent controls,
Speaker 1: it was with like helping dialysis centers, it's with clean energy,
Speaker 1: like renewable like mandated renewables. It's always the same line
Speaker 1: of attack. Well, you do this woke thing, it's gonna
Speaker 1: make everything more expensive because all it is, it just
Speaker 1: gives up the ghosts that all of these things are
Speaker 1: about creating more equity. And what they're saying is like, well,
Speaker 1: if you tip the scale in favor of the workers,
Speaker 1: the only way we can offset that is to pass
Speaker 1: that cost down to you, because we're we're fucked. If
Speaker 1: the bottom line shifts at some level, we're gonna be
Speaker 1: able to buy back as much stock as we did
Speaker 1: last year. You know. Yeah, and we've seen better. They
Speaker 1: will treat the workers as badly as they as the
Speaker 1: law will allow, essentially is what we've seen. So you
Speaker 1: know they this is something and they're the ones trying
Speaker 1: to fund the pushback on this. You know what, Like,
Speaker 1: we know what everything we need to know. But in
Speaker 1: the next few years, right when is a fucking company
Speaker 1: going to be like, I'm not gonna I can't even
Speaker 1: run my business in Californic. Target is no longer in
Speaker 1: California because the wages they're they're saying, we got a
Speaker 1: paper is too much. Too much, folks, you're gonna lose target.
Speaker 1: You're gonna lose target. Okay if you if you vote
Speaker 1: for this, like that's a threat down the line, I'm sure,
Speaker 1: which would be funny, but yeah, no one to do that.
Speaker 1: But in the end, who knows. Um. There seems to
Speaker 1: be a little bit of backlash happening to chat GPT
Speaker 1: smarty pants ass chat bot apparently, according to a headline
Speaker 1: on I just made up headline that Matt Drudge just
Speaker 1: made up not as smart as we thought, folks. Chat
Speaker 1: GPT average to C plus when a University of Minnesota
Speaker 1: law professor used it to generate answers in four law
Speaker 1: school exams while humans are bridge a B plus. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's funny like listening to people talk about this because
Speaker 1: there there is this version of technology that they have
Speaker 1: in their brain from the movies specifically like the movies
Speaker 1: that came out posts Iron Man, but just you know,
Speaker 1: over the past twenty years, like movies written generally by
Speaker 1: older people have the you know, it's the enhanced enhanced
Speaker 1: things where technology can do whatever you tell it. Too,
Speaker 1: And so that's been the expectation, right, is that technology
Speaker 1: you just say past this law exam and the technology
Speaker 1: will pass the low exam better than a human could.
Speaker 1: And so like the fact that it can get a
Speaker 1: C plus on the law professor's exam is, I don't know,
Speaker 1: that's pretty good. And then there's this other story that
Speaker 1: came out where Democratic Congressman Jake uh auchen class is
Speaker 1: that how we're gonna try. I haven't, haven't, haven't attempted
Speaker 1: that one, but yeah, let's go with that one. Let's
Speaker 1: go with auchen Class. Uh delivered a speech about a
Speaker 1: new bill to create new artificial intelligence centers, a co owned,
Speaker 1: co run artificial intelligence center between the US and Israel.
Speaker 1: UM A little bit more on that in a moment,
Speaker 1: but it is funny because he like talked about how
Speaker 1: he had to refine the prompt several times to produce
Speaker 1: the text he ultimately read. So again, it's like this thing,
Speaker 1: this thing kind of stinks, but we gotta do it.
Speaker 1: We've gotta do it. But again, you know, it's you.
Speaker 1: You hear that a lot, like as people interact with it,
Speaker 1: they're like the things not writing good Shakespearean sonnets for me,
Speaker 1: you know, what's the what's the purpose of having like
Speaker 1: a joint Israel U s AI center every time there's join,
Speaker 1: any time there's any joint US Israel anything, it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: let's let's here test out our fucking crowd control technology
Speaker 1: on Palestinians and report back. It's it's it Is it
Speaker 1: really that easy to say that it's that it's for weapons.
Speaker 1: I mean, we don't know. We do know that Israel.
Speaker 1: If anyone's getting us closer to a Skynet situation, it
Speaker 1: would seem to be Israel. Up to this point, they
Speaker 1: recently unveiled AI powered robotic guns in order to shoot
Speaker 1: at Palestinian protesters. So yeah, yeah, so shut that ship
Speaker 1: down right away. Uh don't need AI, y'all. We can't.
Speaker 1: We can't even do normal intelligence on this fucking planet.
Speaker 1: Right let's you know, but what are they gonnam a
Speaker 1: lud right now? Yeah? Google has been offering advanced artificial
Speaker 1: intelligence and machine learning capabilities to the Israeli government, and
Speaker 1: then we're like they they later quote worried that this
Speaker 1: will probably just enable further human rights violations. That Google
Speaker 1: realized that they later worried that they did they might not,
Speaker 1: they knew it registered the concern again, y'all. Just like
Speaker 1: Western intervention, not a good track record. US and Israel
Speaker 1: teaming up on some kind of technology ship. Yeah, um,
Speaker 1: all right, let's take a quick break. We'll be right back,
Speaker 1: and we're back and Murdoch, Yeah, big al Alex, your boy,
Speaker 1: he's in. He's in. He's on trial right now, big
Speaker 1: red baby. There's a couple of details that have come out. First,
Speaker 1: they took down his pop pause painting in the courtroom,
Speaker 1: so he will no longer be you know, foreboding presence
Speaker 1: in the courtroom where maybe this person's hey, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's yeah take that. And then apparently, you know, the
Speaker 1: people who were talking like who are like looking at
Speaker 1: the trial, they said he broke down in tears during
Speaker 1: his murder trial as witnesses were describing the crime scene,
Speaker 1: you know, like when I believe his his wife and
Speaker 1: son were killed. He was like very emotional. It's like
Speaker 1: a photo of him, like you could see like literal
Speaker 1: tears are like falling off of his face. But then
Speaker 1: the first officer arrived, his test his his testimony was yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that guy was upset, but he wasn't like
Speaker 1: crying or anything when I got there, when his when
Speaker 1: his like you know, and again some people are like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, who knows what that means. But when you
Speaker 1: put that against everything that this guy has done, you're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's like context but nothing. Yeah. Um, completely judging somebody's
Speaker 1: response to a traumatic event that just happened probably isn't
Speaker 1: totally fair. I don't know. I have to check with
Speaker 1: my um, with with my two sheet or from that
Speaker 1: one cop who claims that they can tell when someone
Speaker 1: is lying whatever they call nine one one they can tell.
Speaker 1: I think they they put in something that like one
Speaker 1: in in this like report offered by that cop, they
Speaker 1: put in this claim that one in every three people
Speaker 1: who calls nine one one is like actually a murderer.
Speaker 1: Like they some wild statistics. But yeah, they claim that
Speaker 1: if somebody says there's blood instead of saying that someone's bleeding,
Speaker 1: they're the murderer or something like. There's all these like
Speaker 1: telltale signs that are exactly the sorts of ship that
Speaker 1: like people want to believe in, you know, like that,
Speaker 1: like it's like if someone goes like I shot my
Speaker 1: brother on accident, why is that relevant? Right now because
Speaker 1: because you didn't do it, it's like, what holy it really? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it is like the same thing like with kind of
Speaker 1: and like paul Ty Goldman type ship when your confirmation
Speaker 1: biases set like this. I think there was even a
Speaker 1: scene in Paul Wasn't there scene in Polty Golden and
Speaker 1: people like, oh, no, he's lying. I can tell it,
Speaker 1: Like there was like some yeah, there was like a
Speaker 1: focus group scene and people like can me like, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy's fullish it or whatever. But you also see
Speaker 1: people do this too, and like we're so true crime
Speaker 1: brain too, where you hear people like did you hear
Speaker 1: the nine one one call? I know that's bullshit and
Speaker 1: we really act like it all fits into this neat
Speaker 1: fucking pattern. Yeah. There's so many examples of people who
Speaker 1: were like victims of crimes and the police were like, well,
Speaker 1: you know that this is the telltale sign that I
Speaker 1: remember seeing it. There's one docuseries about a like serial
Speaker 1: rapist who got away with it for a long time
Speaker 1: because the cops just didn't believe the victim who had
Speaker 1: like the best most evidence and like eyewitness account because
Speaker 1: she isn't like crying when they came and she was
Speaker 1: like kind of matter of fact about it. And then
Speaker 1: my favorite example is the Amanda Knox documentary where they
Speaker 1: like the cop was like she was covering herself in
Speaker 1: a comforter um, which is the ultimate sign. Like he
Speaker 1: smoked a pipe and had like a shake not Shakespeare
Speaker 1: Sherlock hat, and he like had all these rules that
Speaker 1: he made up that basically all came came back to. Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't believe women. I don't believe anything that was.
Speaker 1: But yeah, and she had a comfort or wrapped around her,
Speaker 1: which we all know it was lingering. Yes, when a
Speaker 1: woman does that, you see. Um Anyways, Tyree Nichols is trending.
Speaker 1: That is the name of a citizen of Memphis who
Speaker 1: five now former Memphis Police officers murdered beat to death
Speaker 1: earlier this month. Um. The aps have been charged with
Speaker 1: murder and the video of the beating is expected to
Speaker 1: be released. UM. I think tomorrow so or yeah, it
Speaker 1: might be out. I don't know. It's I can't bring
Speaker 1: myself to watch it. Just hearing like the reactions of
Speaker 1: people that have seen it is horrified. It sounds really
Speaker 1: fucked up. Yeah, anyway, so that's why we need to
Speaker 1: get rid of our police and figure out a more
Speaker 1: efficient way to deal with our crime by you know,
Speaker 1: supporting people and not having a fucking merry ground of
Speaker 1: funding that just incentivizes this ship and has basically turned
Speaker 1: like Americans completely against each other. No one can even
Speaker 1: the assumption is every single person is violent and will
Speaker 1: kill you, and that's why you can get in a
Speaker 1: car accident and end up dead. Yeah, but not from
Speaker 1: the car accident, but from merely asking the police route. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the from Yeah, the people who are arriving who are
Speaker 1: supposed to be help, you know, immediately, assuming you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's uh, this is woof yeah, it's I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you need you need uh, you need you need accountability.
Speaker 1: Uh and we we need to see what what form
Speaker 1: that comes in. But also real actual fucking to like
Speaker 1: take this problem. All we just keep doing the same
Speaker 1: fucking same over and over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: All the data suggests that this isn't the way to
Speaker 1: do it, like, but we have a real hard time
Speaker 1: letting goats. Yeah. And the other thing is I gotta say,
Speaker 1: I have to say, I have to say the amount
Speaker 1: of Look, the officers that that perpetrated this attack, they
Speaker 1: were black and I've never seen quicker accountability for the
Speaker 1: police than when the officers were black. I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: say that, which is wild. It should be across the board.
Speaker 1: But what it was like only a couple of weeks. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: like that's the other kind of funked up part. And
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not saying that that should excuse one
Speaker 1: thing or the other. But my god, like to even
Speaker 1: see the disparities even reflected on how quickly we take
Speaker 1: people to account or not take them to account, it's
Speaker 1: like another fucking grim reminder of this place we live in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because where the blue lives matter people right now, right,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure they'd have something to say if
Speaker 1: the people look different. But again, this is a this
Speaker 1: is a much larger issue. But again it is the
Speaker 1: layers of ship and this one is really it's kind
Speaker 1: of sucking me up. Yeah, you'll remember that the you know,
Speaker 1: in the George Floyd case, that that wasn't even a
Speaker 1: video that they were trying to release. That was a
Speaker 1: video that got released because you know, so a bystandard. Yeah, uh,
Speaker 1: succession is trending because there's a new teaser for season
Speaker 1: four that it looks funny it looks Yeah, it looks
Speaker 1: like succession. They have not sucked up the formula, which
Speaker 1: is we fucking hate our dad. He's a bastard. Yeah. Uh.
Speaker 1: And now oh, I mean it's because now they're diametrically
Speaker 1: opposed fully, so it's we get to see them try
Speaker 1: and fight daddy. Uh. And what that happens looks like
Speaker 1: Tom is scheming a little bit. Yeah, Tom is fully
Speaker 1: aligned with Daddy and the kids are all, you know, together,
Speaker 1: trying to bring it down and can't get him on
Speaker 1: the phone. I believe your father would like you to
Speaker 1: call him. No he can. Actually, there's a whole there's
Speaker 1: this you should watch the teaser, but there's this a
Speaker 1: very succession esque moment where like, is it clearly the
Speaker 1: dad's assistant is trying to get the kids to call
Speaker 1: him and reach out, but his ego won't allow it,
Speaker 1: and they're like, no, you should call him, like he
Speaker 1: needs to call us, and like, the best I can
Speaker 1: do is I can get a text from him that
Speaker 1: requests a call, right, ship, All right, shout out to
Speaker 1: the what do they call it again? What's that family?
Speaker 1: The oh murdocks um, the Roys, the Roy's thank you,
Speaker 1: thank you, thank you. Shout out to the roys Um.
Speaker 1: And you know, my brain started saying funck off just generally,
Speaker 1: like a few times a day lately, which is usually
Speaker 1: you know, That's how I know a new sixth season
Speaker 1: of Succession is coming, a new sixth season. You never
Speaker 1: say you never say fun off, just in general, No,
Speaker 1: just just in logan roy Yeah, okay, starts coming, bubbling up, Okay,
Speaker 1: get low again, get logan um. All right, those are
Speaker 1: some of the things that are trending on this Thursday.
Speaker 1: We're back tomorrow with the whole last episode of the show.
Speaker 1: Until then, be kind to each other, be kind to yourselves,
Speaker 1: get the vaccine, don't do nothing about white supremacy, and
Speaker 1: we will talk to you all tomorrow. All right, bye
Speaker 1: bye
