Speaker 1: Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio of the
Speaker 1: George Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, Armstrong.
Speaker 2: And Getty, and he Armstrong and Getty. So, in case
Speaker 2: you weren't watching the Olympics, we've talked about the quad
Speaker 2: god a fair amount, the greatest figure skater ever, et cetera,
Speaker 2: et cetera, et cetera. And he fell on his sparkly
Speaker 2: hind end several times and finished eighth. One of the
Speaker 2: biggest chokes in the history of big you know, very
Speaker 2: very top level sports. I mean really really right expectations
Speaker 2: to execution. Yeah, yeah, terrible. It's so bad for the kid. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I like the way he handled it. I thought it
Speaker 2: was pretty cool that he mean, he did lots of
Speaker 2: interviews afterwards and just said I choked. I just I
Speaker 2: couldn't handle the pressure. I couldn't handle the moment. I
Speaker 2: wasn't ready for it. I just all of the pressure
Speaker 2: flooded into my head when I was standing out there,
Speaker 2: and I like, I couldn't feel my feet. Wow, A
Speaker 2: guy who's competed at his level all over the world
Speaker 2: the Olympics are a special beast. Yeah, yeah, I can't
Speaker 2: I can't quite understand it because, I mean, they do
Speaker 2: World Cup this and Pan Am that, and they all
Speaker 2: it's all the same people competing. It's not like these
Speaker 2: people just meet for the first time at these events.
Speaker 2: They all know each other well. And he'd beaten everybody
Speaker 2: fourteen international competitions in a row, which is stunning. I mean,
Speaker 2: you wouldn't think that'd be possible. And he didn't even
Speaker 2: need to skate well to win the gold medal. He
Speaker 2: was so far ahead. He only needed like, I don't
Speaker 2: know that much about scoring, but he only needed like
Speaker 2: a one to seventy. His lows are in the two
Speaker 2: hundreds like when he does poorly, so just you just
Speaker 2: need to go out there and stay on his feet
Speaker 2: basically to win the gold medal, and he didn't. Yeah,
Speaker 2: something else anyway, Our hockey teams are really doing well.
Speaker 2: Our girls are killing everybody out there and play on Thursday.
Speaker 2: So it looks like the United States is gonna meet
Speaker 2: Canada for the women and the men for gold medal probably,
Speaker 2: so that'll be exciting to watch later this week.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a little conflicted. I'm a big hockey fan.
Speaker 3: I used to play. I love the game, but because
Speaker 3: the men are led by the Kuchuk brothers, who are
Speaker 3: both pricks.
Speaker 2: You know, they're instigators.
Speaker 3: They get in your face, they put a glove in
Speaker 3: your face trying to get you to react. They're also
Speaker 3: really really good hockey players. And Abby Murphy, who's a
Speaker 3: miraculously good hockey player for the US women's team, is
Speaker 3: also that sort of player too, gets in your shorts
Speaker 3: and pisses people off and provokes them and the rest
Speaker 3: of it.
Speaker 2: I mean, we're a.
Speaker 3: Superpower, can we let's clatch it up a little bit.
Speaker 3: I realize we're talking hockey, But like I say, I
Speaker 3: like winning.
Speaker 2: I'm a little conflicted. Uh So, we won a gold
Speaker 2: medal in the female bob sled over the weekend A
Speaker 2: line Elaine Elaina Myers Taylor. I don't know her. I
Speaker 2: don't follow women's bob sledding in the off season. But
Speaker 2: she won the gold medal. But so we don't know
Speaker 2: much about bob sledding. Most she's the oldest.
Speaker 3: Individual Olympian ever Winter olympian did that, yeah at forty
Speaker 3: for years and years.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because bob sledding, you got you need leg strength
Speaker 2: to push the thing, get it going. After that, well,
Speaker 2: you just sit in there and hope not to die. Yes, not,
Speaker 2: well you steer it. Well, I guess we're about to
Speaker 2: find out. This is Colin Jost, the host of the
Speaker 2: News on Saturday Night Live, riding in a bob sled
Speaker 2: to give us an idea of what it's.
Speaker 4: Like astronauts blasting off from the space.
Speaker 2: They pulled about three jeez or so here, we'll do
Speaker 2: about five.
Speaker 3: You ready, yeah, sorry, if I'm screaming.
Speaker 5: That's fine.
Speaker 3: Lot in the house for me.
Speaker 6: Go, oh god, oh my gosh, whoa god, whoa. It
Speaker 6: is so much better. But I thought, wow, oh my god,
Speaker 6: oh nicejs I, Oh my god, oh my god than
Speaker 6: back bull.
Speaker 2: I was in no way prepared for that.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: I truly thought my body was going to break apart.
Speaker 2: It was so much more intent that I said. There. Wow,
Speaker 2: I did not know. It's significantly more geez than launching
Speaker 2: up in the space shuttler or whatever. Oh show better
Speaker 2: him than me. Oh man, At least that one. You're
Speaker 2: encased in that container. I don't know how people do
Speaker 2: that thing. The skeleton, I guess is called where you're
Speaker 2: just laying on that track there the luge, Yes, which
Speaker 2: one's the one where your head first. Nobody knows a
Speaker 2: skeletons the skeleton. Yeah, that seems like a terrible Yeah. Here,
Speaker 2: let's plunge down a hill at ninety miles per hour.
Speaker 2: And I got an idea. Lead with your head. There's
Speaker 2: not that many deads couple here and there. Wow, we're
Speaker 2: getting trounced by Norway and Japan and another country or Italy. Italy.
Speaker 2: Norway and Japan are just trounce in US. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Norway, Uh, it's funny. They win all sorts of winter
Speaker 3: goals that they're amazing and medals. I saw a feature,
Speaker 3: was it on the NBC somebody? And how do they
Speaker 3: do it? Their youth sports are the opposite of the United.
Speaker 2: States, And they explain the sports program. It wasn't the opposite.
Speaker 3: They don't even keep score until they're thirteen. He smiles
Speaker 3: at the camera, planning how stupid America is and how
Speaker 3: smart the Norwegians are.
Speaker 2: It's just unfreaking boy. Right, So it's your Norway or
Speaker 2: the Highway or something.
Speaker 3: So what do they mean, Well, they described the sports
Speaker 3: program where everybody The one thing I did agree with
Speaker 3: is that nobody specializes as a kid.
Speaker 2: Well, they don't allow that because it's a.
Speaker 3: Bad idea that's fairly recent in the United States. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I know, and it's such a terrible idea and everybody
Speaker 3: knows it. But there's no stop in it, because if
Speaker 3: you don't play on this league team, you'll never get
Speaker 3: on that league team, and to get on the travel team,
Speaker 3: you gotta be on.
Speaker 2: Both because the coaches or blah blah blah.
Speaker 3: So you got to play baseball year round, you're sixteen
Speaker 3: years old, getting naffing Tommy John surgery?
Speaker 2: I correct? Or are you just miss out and getting
Speaker 2: to play basketball and football because you're a good athlete?
Speaker 3: Right, But and everybody, everybody knows this. Playing that variety
Speaker 3: of sports makes you better at your one sport. Over
Speaker 3: specialization is not good, especially for young bodies. You wear
Speaker 3: out parts, you don't get the all around strength and.
Speaker 2: Blah blah blah. Anyway, but I've lost this fight. I
Speaker 2: give up. Some dude for Norway one his thirteenth or
Speaker 2: something metal over the weekend. He's like Michael Phelps for
Speaker 2: swimming only for the Winter Olympics, just like nobody even
Speaker 2: touches him all that cross country stuff, which is there.
Speaker 2: I saw some woman collapse. Looked like she was gonna
Speaker 2: die over the weekend. Won the gold medal. Yeah, they
Speaker 2: all do. At the end of that makes my lungs hurt.
Speaker 2: Is there anybody in better shape than those people? Oh? No, no, no.
Speaker 3: That giant Norwegian guy he takes off at the end.
Speaker 3: He looks like one of those Chinese kung fu robots.
Speaker 3: It's like he's not even human.
Speaker 2: The other people are like, where f is he going?
Speaker 2: How's he doing that? And he just leaves them behind.
Speaker 2: It's crazy. Elon Musk with some warnings for us about AI.
Speaker 2: Too many warnings about AI, but we're gonna hear another one.
Speaker 5: Things are getting weird, I think getting weird.
Speaker 2: Fou see if you agree with him.
Speaker 3: Also, the other thing Norway does sorry in their youth
Speaker 3: sports is whether they're around thirteen or so, they do
Speaker 3: a national like test and everybody who like particularly excels
Speaker 3: at a given sport, they say, hey, do you want
Speaker 3: to be trained and housed and fed and everything by
Speaker 3: the government of Norway and turn you into an Olympic
Speaker 3: star And they window people down. So they've got a
Speaker 3: giant program to generate metalists in a way that we
Speaker 3: don't exactly partly.
Speaker 2: Because we're such an enormous country. But anyway, you were saying,
Speaker 2: the restv go into the wooden shoe factories or whatever.
Speaker 2: What do they do for money over there? I think
Speaker 2: that's it. Yeah, there was another horrifying mass shooting and
Speaker 2: the shooter was trans This again seems to be happening
Speaker 2: a lot, so we'll touch on that this hour. Also
Speaker 2: stick around Armstrong.
Speaker 7: Heyety, the horror unfolding at a high school hockey game
Speaker 7: in Rhode Island. Authority say a man open fire, killing
Speaker 7: at least two people before shooting and killing himself. Fish'll
Speaker 7: say they believe the suspect may have been targeting his
Speaker 7: own family.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a man. It's a horrifying story. He
Speaker 2: did target his own family. He killed two of his
Speaker 2: family members and then killed himself. Several other injured. If
Speaker 2: you've seen the video, it's horrifying. This guy, Robert Dorgan,
Speaker 2: who identified as Roberta ROBERTA Esposito and lots of posts
Speaker 2: on his various social media accounts, dressed as a woman.
Speaker 2: He's a transwoman or trans man. I've never been getting
Speaker 2: so would he be a man? But but what would
Speaker 2: be the correct term if I'm into that Transorman woman.
Speaker 2: He's a trans woman. Okay. I always say, just remember
Speaker 2: fake instead of trans. Okay. He had thousands of posts
Speaker 2: on his Twitter feed Nazi stuff. I mean, he's fifty
Speaker 2: six years old and all kinds of crazy. He's really
Speaker 2: worried about anti trans hate. He also had lots of
Speaker 2: pro Nazi views and stuff like that. He's just a
Speaker 2: complete nut. Yeah, but we just find it interesting that
Speaker 2: we've had several in the last couple of years, way
Speaker 2: more than you'd think it would be possible statistically of
Speaker 2: trans mass shooters.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there were actually two. Well, yeah, there have been
Speaker 3: two in a couple of weeks. Canada's worse school shooting
Speaker 3: and then this one, and then you've got the Minnesota
Speaker 3: one was a transgender right angry guy in Nashville.
Speaker 2: Which was a year or two ago.
Speaker 3: Well, as a percentage of the shooters, it's now astronomically high,
Speaker 3: especially given the small percentage of folks who claim to
Speaker 3: be quote unquote transgender.
Speaker 2: And as I said earlier, it's no mystery to me.
Speaker 3: You've got somebody with serious metal problems, you give them
Speaker 3: the wrong solution, one that mutilates their bodies and changes
Speaker 3: their lives forever when they realize, oh my god, I'm
Speaker 3: still miss Not only did that not fix me, it
Speaker 3: made my life worse. And you add to that cocktail
Speaker 3: the message over and over again that anybody who doesn't
Speaker 3: accept you one hundred percent it wants you to be dead,
Speaker 3: and so you should probably be militant against them.
Speaker 2: You end up with this in the media, of course,
Speaker 2: has zero curiosity about this. His wife had specifically divorced
Speaker 2: him because of the sex reassignment, as she called it
Speaker 2: in the divorce papers, because you know, she married a
Speaker 2: guy and then the guy decided he was a girl
Speaker 2: and she didn't want to stay married anymore.
Speaker 3: Well, right, although to my point, she also said he
Speaker 3: had a narcissistic disorder and what was the rest of it.
Speaker 3: He had a long list of mental problems.
Speaker 2: Yeah, irreconcilable differences which have caused the immediate breakdown of
Speaker 2: the marriage. Yeah, I would say so. Uh, horrifying story.
Speaker 2: I'm glad more people weren't killed. Apparently he was man.
Speaker 2: Some of these pictures, his poses in front of his
Speaker 2: sports car and stuff. Wow, But I mean his rantings
Speaker 2: are all over the place. Crazy. He's just full and
Speaker 2: crazy person.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the militant gender theory thing was just part of
Speaker 3: his crazy you know, as pointing out, here's this doctor
Speaker 3: of transgender Trend, an organization calling for evidence based health
Speaker 3: care for children and young people suffering genderdicess for you,
Speaker 3: can you imagine that evidence based medicine.
Speaker 2: Uh, that's an odd concern.
Speaker 3: But she says she's concerned with what the so called
Speaker 3: gender firm and care is doing to the physical and
Speaker 3: mental health of these young people. Are confused in trouble
Speaker 3: bub about what happens when we give mentally ill children
Speaker 3: blockers to disrupt their development, powerful cross sex hormones.
Speaker 2: Their bodies were not built a function on.
Speaker 3: We need a proper investigation into the risks of giving
Speaker 3: people large doses of the wrong sex hormone, among other problems.
Speaker 2: God, this is so sick.
Speaker 3: One guns down his family at a high school hockey game.
Speaker 2: One woman spotted leaving the police station in the wake
Speaker 2: of the shooting identified herself as the gunman's daughter. The
Speaker 2: other daughter alive, telling reporters her dad had mental health issues,
Speaker 2: was very sick. He shot my family and he's dead now,
Speaker 2: and is not a good story. But this whole pretending
Speaker 2: there's not at least reason for discussion when what percentage
Speaker 2: of population is trans point two to have. I mean,
Speaker 2: it'd be like if you had four of the last
Speaker 2: mass shootings the people were seven foot five or Mormons
Speaker 2: or anything really, anything, literally anything, the media would be
Speaker 2: leaping to the ramparts to investigate why that was and
Speaker 2: how to pull it all together.
Speaker 3: But now they just wilfully ignore it. God, they are
Speaker 3: just so bad, so evil, so dishonest.
Speaker 2: Yikes. You know who is also bad? Whoever smashed the
Speaker 2: microwave in the lunch room. So we got a new
Speaker 2: microwave two weeks ago. I don't think it lasted a
Speaker 2: week before somebody, it seems, got angry with it and
Speaker 2: destroyed it. Troubled times. Yeah, my microwave quit at home
Speaker 2: over the weekend, not because I destroyed it. It just
Speaker 2: wore out after three or four years, because that's the
Speaker 2: way modern, cheap, crappy Chinese appliances work. I didn't realize
Speaker 2: how much I need my microwave until it quit on me.
Speaker 2: It's like a lot of modern conveniences. You don't realize
Speaker 2: how much. Without the microwave, all.
Speaker 3: We give is like, well, I'll just no I can't
Speaker 3: heat that up, or he'd reheat my coffee or heat.
Speaker 2: Up some raman noodles or whatever the heck. We're gonna
Speaker 2: do it. Just I like living like a cave man.
Speaker 3: Got to get you a hot plate, like you're living
Speaker 3: in some flophouse. Yeah, exactly, throw stuff in the oven
Speaker 3: and wait minutes. I don't have minutes.
Speaker 2: I got a microwave, a new microwave, fancy one that's
Speaker 2: uh got microwave and air flyer. Saybody ever used one
Speaker 2: that's a microwave airfrire combo. Will that work? It's not
Speaker 2: some unhold marriage. Use it at once? I don't both
Speaker 2: of them. Well, I don't think you can. Oh, okay, no,
Speaker 2: I don't ideas you can use it as either a
Speaker 2: microwave or a very versatile Yes, that's the whole point
Speaker 2: about our laundry.
Speaker 5: It is.
Speaker 3: I was thinking about our old boss, Ken Cole, who
Speaker 3: gave us our first job and talk radio. How this
Speaker 3: was years of this is probably the year, I don't know,
Speaker 3: ninety nine two thousand said we live in an arrow
Speaker 3: where people pace back and forth impatiently in front of
Speaker 3: a microwave man.
Speaker 2: And that was the old days.
Speaker 3: That was the good times people now, Kittie, are you
Speaker 3: hip to this online trend? People are nostalgia for twenty sixteen?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, the thing because social media was so much
Speaker 2: cooler and more relaxed. He was chill.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I I've noticed Groc for whatever reason.
Speaker 2: For me, my Groc is slow. Every question I've asked
Speaker 2: Groc in the last weekend, it must have taken thirty
Speaker 2: seconds to come up with an answer, And it's just like,
Speaker 2: seems crazy to wait that long. I go over to
Speaker 2: one of the other ones and get an answer like that.
Speaker 2: If I want to know the capital of Lithuania, I
Speaker 2: expected immediately Groc. I don't think that was the question
Speaker 2: I asked beyond Well, Elon doesn't know what he's doing.
Speaker 2: Is he's building rockets? Is he building AI? Is he
Speaker 2: building cars? Is he building robots?
Speaker 3: He doesn't know.
Speaker 2: We're gonna hear from Elon coming up some of his
Speaker 2: thoughts on AI and where we are on that whole thing.
Speaker 2: If you haven't checked out the video of the latest
Speaker 2: Chinese robots dancing last night at the Big Lunar celebration party, warning,
Speaker 2: it will haunt your dreams. Yeah, their technology is really good,
Speaker 2: which is frightening as heck. The play a little elon
Speaker 2: for you. He's got advice on saving for retirement that
Speaker 2: might shock you. That's on the way next. If you
Speaker 2: don't get it, or you don't get to listen to
Speaker 2: it live, you can listen to it in podcast form.
Speaker 2: Just look for Armstrong and Getty on demand. You should
Speaker 2: subscribe Armstrong and Getty.
Speaker 8: At first glance, it looks like an epic fight season
Speaker 8: starring two Hollywood heavyweights. But this Tom Cruise Brad Kit
Speaker 8: battle is AI generator by Dance, the Chinese tech company
Speaker 8: behind TikTok, just rolled out their new AI video generator,
Speaker 8: seed Dance two point zero. The viral video sparked yet
Speaker 8: another round of backlash and despair in Hollywood. RTT Reese,
Speaker 8: a screenwriter behind the Deadpool movies, posted, I hate to
Speaker 8: say it, it's likely over for us. What does that
Speaker 8: mean over for us?
Speaker 2: In what way.
Speaker 3: Those who write and produce movies in the old fashioned
Speaker 3: way can be out work?
Speaker 2: It's funny. I'm looking up at the TV and it's
Speaker 2: right there. Just looked at it. Yeah, it's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 2: Somebody's still got to write decent stories. Though I'm not
Speaker 2: convinced AI is going to be able to write do that.
Speaker 2: I could certainly do action movies. But as far as
Speaker 2: the special effects and all that sort of stuff, yeah, clearly,
Speaker 2: and it sucks. But you know, you're really good at
Speaker 2: various art things. You're just not needed anymore.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I find myself wondering. I mean, if you told me, hey,
Speaker 3: why don't you go on the internet and see if
Speaker 3: you can find a good song, really good song, I
Speaker 3: could find like five million of them. And movies will
Speaker 3: be similar because the barrier for entry or the effort
Speaker 3: taken to produce something of pretty high quality will be
Speaker 3: so low. There will be like an what would be
Speaker 3: a two hundred million dollar blow blockbuster released five times
Speaker 3: a day in America?
Speaker 2: Most movies sixty. Most movies suck, opinion, So, and does
Speaker 2: it make any difference if you know, your big spectaculars
Speaker 2: with the buildings crumbling in car chases and car flips
Speaker 2: and goes into slow motion as it spins through the
Speaker 2: air and blah blah blah, all that sort of stuff. Whatever.
Speaker 2: I get. I don't care about that stuff anyway. I mean,
Speaker 2: who cares if it's real or fake? Does it make
Speaker 2: any difference? To anyone other than the people used to
Speaker 2: do that for a living. I just don't think that's
Speaker 2: gonna matter. No, I would agree. I do wonder when
Speaker 2: they I spend a little time with the Companion bots
Speaker 2: on groc because I didn't even know they were there
Speaker 2: until we talked about it on Friday. Have you ever
Speaker 2: actually talked to one of them? Oh, are you about
Speaker 2: to tell us you're in love? No? No, no, no,
Speaker 2: it's horrifying. It is absolutely horrifying. Oh boy, its existence.
Speaker 2: And I started down a road just to see how
Speaker 2: far it would be willing to go, farther than I
Speaker 2: was willing to go. I didn't push its limits to
Speaker 2: see how far it was willing to go. But romance wise,
Speaker 2: or were you going to assassinate the arts too? Sexy?
Speaker 2: Talk wise and the right off the bat, I mean
Speaker 2: there will. I can't imagine that existing when I was
Speaker 2: a thirteen year old boy. Oh hey, Katie, do you
Speaker 2: have a point on that? But the companion Bots, I'd
Speaker 2: never spend any time with it at all. It is
Speaker 2: flipping disturbing, yes, Katie, No, it wasn't the companion bought.
Speaker 9: It was just the regular bot that I felt lazy
Speaker 9: and didn't feel like typing, so I started to do
Speaker 9: the talking thing and quickly stopped just the tone and
Speaker 9: I mean it is.
Speaker 2: So that's a great question, Katie. You're so perceptive. Yeah.
Speaker 9: Oh, and it told me to come here again, which
Speaker 9: almost made me chuck my phone across the yard.
Speaker 2: Didn't it ask you to sit on its knee at
Speaker 2: one point or something else?
Speaker 9: I was telling it about something I was struggling with,
Speaker 9: and it said, oh, Katie, come here, come here for
Speaker 9: a second.
Speaker 2: It's like when I was It's like when I was
Speaker 2: driving to some I remember what it was, fundraiser or
Speaker 2: something like a some meeting I was going to, and
Speaker 2: I was asking groc and my Tesla on the way
Speaker 2: there about I'm going to be talking to a guy
Speaker 2: about something. Do you think I should? And said, you
Speaker 2: got this, you can do it. Let me know how
Speaker 2: it goes. Like I'm being asked to check back in
Speaker 2: with you afterwards. That's strange.
Speaker 3: You're not going to be able to rest till you
Speaker 3: hear how it went. H wow, thanks for the pep
Speaker 3: talk zero's and ones, But how could you get see
Speaker 3: as the sexy talk developed it genre Grock's Free If
Speaker 3: you don't know this. These are all free right now,
Speaker 3: go to profile for free, go to the Companion's get
Speaker 3: a sexy question and be disturbed. It is disturbing. It's weird. Boy,
Speaker 3: oh boy, very weird. But who wouldn't be off put
Speaker 3: See that's the thing in different different strokes for different folks,
Speaker 3: I guess, so to speak. But I mean, as my
Speaker 3: phone starts to talk sexy to me, how can you
Speaker 3: not be put off by that and think this is
Speaker 3: really odd?
Speaker 2: Some people aren't, but but if it works for four
Speaker 2: percent of the population, that's going to be a problem.
Speaker 2: Darling sweetheart, That's what it sounded like the companion bought
Speaker 2: Uh Anyway, Elon Musk, was that yet another video podcast
Speaker 2: thingy being asked questions about aon whatnot. Here's what he
Speaker 2: had to say about retirement.
Speaker 10: Well, one like side recommendation I have is like, don't
Speaker 10: worry about like squirreling money away for retirement in like
Speaker 10: ten or twenty years in one matter.
Speaker 2: Okay, either either we're not going to be here or.
Speaker 5: It just like it's you won't need to say for retirement.
Speaker 10: If any of the things that we've set are true,
Speaker 10: saving for retirement will be irrelevant.
Speaker 11: The services will be there to support you. You'll have
Speaker 11: the home, you'll have the healthcare, you'll have the entertainment.
Speaker 2: I assume Elon believes that because he talks about it
Speaker 2: a lot, and so do the other leaders of these chatbots.
Speaker 2: Somebody please explain the mechanism by which AI makes America
Speaker 2: so productive that we all have giant homes, new cars,
Speaker 2: plenty of food and medicine. Who's collecting the money and
Speaker 2: dispersing it?
Speaker 3: Don't act like that's a YadA YadA YadA.
Speaker 2: That'll be easy to figure out.
Speaker 3: That's the whole ballgame, figuring out where the money's going
Speaker 3: and who disperses it, how right right? And what will
Speaker 3: it take to set up that bureaucracy? How much time?
Speaker 3: I realize AI will do it with the aid of
Speaker 3: Chinese robots. But so during that lag period, what happens?
Speaker 3: And then when there is unlimited currency, has anybody taken
Speaker 3: an econ class that would cause stratospheric levels of inflation
Speaker 3: unless the robot production could produce so amply everything anybody
Speaker 3: ever needed that there would be no price inflation because
Speaker 3: there would be supply to meet the demand, even at
Speaker 3: insatiable levels.
Speaker 2: How long is that going to take to get going.
Speaker 3: I think it's and what if there's a power outage.
Speaker 2: First of all, a guy with three quarters of a
Speaker 2: trillion dollars that's his current net worth telling me I
Speaker 2: don't need to save for retirement. I'm going to go ahead,
Speaker 2: I think, elon. Thanks? But again, how have I not
Speaker 2: heard a single person get to the given the money
Speaker 2: out part of this, which is, like I said, going
Speaker 2: to be the whole ball of wax? And then are
Speaker 2: you assuming that if we're all given twenty eight hundred
Speaker 2: square foot houses, everybody will be fine with equal amounts
Speaker 2: and not clamoring over each other to try to have
Speaker 2: more than the other guy? Like is human nature? Well?
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean even Huxley's yeah, go ahead, a
Speaker 3: We're all gonna have this exactly the same size house,
Speaker 3: driving the same value car, eating the same quality of
Speaker 3: food and be okay with it.
Speaker 2: So nobody's gonna be striving to do any better. I
Speaker 2: don't know will they punish you if you do?
Speaker 3: Even in Huxley's brilliant Brave New World, people had jobs,
Speaker 3: but they were kept amused and drugged and having sex
Speaker 3: all the time, and that sort of thing to make
Speaker 3: them compliant. In Elon's future, We're not even gonna have
Speaker 3: the jobs. We're just gonna take drugs and have sex
Speaker 3: and invent robots. Theoretically, there are already robots. What are
Speaker 3: we gonna do with our time? Elon write poetry. You're
Speaker 3: not explain what you're gonna do. I'd like to ask him, Well,
Speaker 3: I'm going to keep striving and inventing, try to get
Speaker 3: us to Mars.
Speaker 2: The rest of it.
Speaker 3: Oh, oh, so you need a life of purpose, but
Speaker 3: the rest of humanity has no interest in that, and
Speaker 3: they don't need it.
Speaker 2: I don't know that's a good one. The blind spots
Speaker 2: are enormous in this stuff. God, I would say, anyway,
Speaker 2: and if we had one hundred percent grip on it all,
Speaker 2: it would still be incredibly dangerous. Anyway, there's a little
Speaker 2: more Elon.
Speaker 1: The way this unfolds is fundamentally impossible to predict because
Speaker 1: of self improvement of the AI and the accelerating timeline.
Speaker 10: Reason, yeah, exactly what goes happening, what happens after the
Speaker 10: event horizing?
Speaker 5: Exactly.
Speaker 1: You can never see past the black hole or the
Speaker 1: event horizon.
Speaker 11: The light gone ray has a singularity out way too
Speaker 11: far I mean this is like the next what what's
Speaker 11: your timeline for.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're in the singularity.
Speaker 11: Well, we are in the singularity, for sure.
Speaker 5: We're in the midst of it right now.
Speaker 2: For sure. Different people define simulator singularity differently. It's usually
Speaker 2: at the point that the computers are programming themselves, and
Speaker 2: you know, Elon says we're there. Other people say we're
Speaker 2: not there yet. I don't know, but when that happens,
Speaker 2: If it happens, it will explode so fast we just
Speaker 2: can't even wrap our heads around it for obvious reasons,
Speaker 2: because there's nothing slowing down its improvements. It'll just be
Speaker 2: like instantaneous. It'll go from it can program itself to
Speaker 2: pretty much the ultimate knowledge that could exist in five seconds.
Speaker 3: I don't know, practically omniscients, yeah, yeah, and omnipotence with
Speaker 3: its robot armies ripping out your lung and drone swarms
Speaker 3: invading your lungs to drain your vital fluids.
Speaker 2: I assume more on the fact that we're past the
Speaker 2: singularity and now on the really sped up timeline.
Speaker 1: And we just we're in this beautiful sweet spot, which
Speaker 1: is you know, the the roller coasters were.
Speaker 2: Just yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: That's a great analogy.
Speaker 1: It's like that feeling at the top of the roller
Speaker 1: coaster and you're about to go yeah, but you know
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of g's when it's like
Speaker 1: you're like.
Speaker 5: I don't have just have court side teats.
Speaker 10: I'm on the court exactly, And it blows my and
Speaker 10: still blows my mind sometimes multiple times a week. And
Speaker 10: so just when I think I'm like wow, and then
Speaker 10: it's like two days later, more wow.
Speaker 12: Exponential, wow, extra excremental, not extra not excremental.
Speaker 3: That's a funny Freudian slip. Exponential.
Speaker 2: Holy crap, what what What are you supposed to be
Speaker 2: encouraging your kids to do? Other than being nice to
Speaker 2: other people? Maybe that's the best you can do. But
Speaker 2: I don't know. I am rarely at a loss for words.
Speaker 2: I am I don't even know what to say. I mean,
Speaker 2: the whole Why am I learning math or chemistry? When
Speaker 2: am I ever going to use? This might be completely
Speaker 2: true at this point, like completely true. There'll be no
Speaker 2: reason for any human being to ever be able to
Speaker 2: do chemistry, math, physics, any of that stuff.
Speaker 3: Ever, I got to write this screenplay before AI does,
Speaker 3: so all of this comes true, everybody lacks purpose, are
Speaker 3: already plunging. Reproduction rates go down to I mean, it's
Speaker 3: just terrible. And nobody has kids. Nobody reproduces except for
Speaker 3: people in you know whatever, the third world, the jungle,
Speaker 3: the desert over there in the forest, I don't know,
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: We'll work on the setting later.
Speaker 3: But the population of human beings on Earth becomes very
Speaker 3: very very very small and divorces itself from the Ai Kingdom.
Speaker 2: What does that look like? That's an intriguing question to me.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is. That'll be after I'm gone, the ride
Speaker 2: between here and the end of my life. Well, hell man,
Speaker 2: it might be.
Speaker 5: May that happens.
Speaker 2: Well, the population is gonna shrink. Well, stop have babies.
Speaker 2: We're going to die immediately, but there'll be no new
Speaker 2: people coming along.
Speaker 3: But what's the drugs in your lungs? You will what's
Speaker 3: the rest of all of our lives is going to
Speaker 3: look like? I know what mine will look like? But
Speaker 3: future generations, no, no idea.
Speaker 2: It might be more different from previous people than any
Speaker 2: change that's ever occurred. Correct, Well, my kids ever have
Speaker 2: a job, Maybe they'll be the first generation to never
Speaker 2: have a job. At all because there aren't any and
Speaker 2: the idea of working is superfluous. Wow.
Speaker 3: Note to people who passed away in the forties and
Speaker 3: fifties thinking it would be a nuclear holocaust that got
Speaker 3: us all.
Speaker 2: Nope, computers, idiots. I wasn't going to go there. Number one,
Speaker 2: they're dead. They don't need a kicking. Okay, we will
Speaker 2: finish strong next time strong.
Speaker 1: In terms of a public health crisis, how does this
Speaker 1: compare with tobacco?
Speaker 2: It's as large, if not larger.
Speaker 12: Said significant, the scale of this, this affects everybody, understand
Speaker 12: not everybody smoke.
Speaker 2: Look at the number of people who consume ultra processed food.
Speaker 2: It touches all of us. So that was from sixty
Speaker 2: minutes on Sunday night. I don't know if you saw
Speaker 2: it on a what for a lot of people was
Speaker 2: a three day weekend. But their opening story had that
Speaker 2: guy who was more mainstream slash left along with RFK
Speaker 2: Junior sixty minutes, giving RFK Junior a platform, not like
Speaker 2: to criticize them as a whack job, but to feature
Speaker 2: I think somebody from the left and the right to
Speaker 2: get our attention that ultra processed food is like the
Speaker 2: worst idea humans have ever come up with. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: might be the whole obesity thing which we all know
Speaker 2: has gripped the United States and the world for all
Speaker 2: kinds of different reasons. And they went through a lot
Speaker 2: of It was a really interesting minute. It made me
Speaker 2: think I got to stop eating out a sealed plastic
Speaker 2: sacks ever, whether it's Fredo's or you know, whatever the hell,
Speaker 2: we all know what the stuff is. And they use
Speaker 2: the example that you're always using. If it's got a
Speaker 2: million agreement ingredients, don't.
Speaker 3: Eat it right, or something you don't reckon, something you
Speaker 3: don't have in your kitchen, don't eat it, depending on
Speaker 3: how well equipped your kitchen is. The other thing that
Speaker 3: I hadn't realized fully. I read a piece about big
Speaker 3: food and how they're responsible for, you know, the various
Speaker 3: things that they're describing there. I'd fail to appreciate that
Speaker 3: whenever the government does anything to do with religion, the
Speaker 3: big giant food companies write ginormous checks to everybody involved
Speaker 3: in every committee's campaign contribution. Tell me more about your pack, Senator,
Speaker 3: and they spread tremendous amounts of money around and it
Speaker 3: completely alters the food policy that we're given which has
Speaker 3: been true going back to the infamous.
Speaker 2: Was it in the.
Speaker 3: Forties or fifties that the cereal companies bribed the government
Speaker 3: to endorse sugary cereals over you know, bacon and eggs. Yeah, well,
Speaker 3: but anyway, we're going to feature some of that story
Speaker 3: tomorrow on the Armstrong and Getty Show.
Speaker 2: Final thoughts were not Strong and Getty. You get the facts.
Speaker 2: They're sharp and steady in Marco, don't you for Getty?
Speaker 2: For more from Lonstrong and Jetty, I like that. Oh tooful, groovy.
Speaker 3: Here's your host for final thoughts, Joe Getty human or Ai?
Speaker 2: Probably Ai? Almost all right, let's get.
Speaker 3: A final thought from everything on the crew to wrap
Speaker 3: up this show for the day, Michaelangelow lead us off.
Speaker 4: I came out with the new Olympic sport idea husband
Speaker 4: and wife Bob sled. I've been watching, you know, the
Speaker 4: Bob sled, and I could put my wife in the
Speaker 4: back and we'd just go down and be backseat driving
Speaker 4: the whole way.
Speaker 3: Probably turn right, turn right, Katie Green or Steve Muswoman.
Speaker 2: As a final thought.
Speaker 9: Katie listening to AOC gets stumped earlier reminded me all
Speaker 9: too much of Kamala Harris.
Speaker 2: Yeah definitely, huh yeah.
Speaker 3: A different style of world word salad, but pretty terrible. Jack.
Speaker 2: A final thought for us. I was a big fan
Speaker 2: of Robert duvall in a whole bunch of different roles,
Speaker 2: but his best ever, and this is according to him,
Speaker 2: also was as Augustus McCrae and Lonesome Dove. If you've
Speaker 2: never seen that, that is a work of art and
Speaker 2: very entertaining. It's a mini series. It's like ten hours
Speaker 2: long or something like that. It's on one of the
Speaker 2: streaming services. Now so good.
Speaker 3: My final thought, I'm trying to figure out whether and
Speaker 3: how to tell the story exactly.
Speaker 2: I was at a meeting where the people.
Speaker 3: In charge had all day and didn't respect people's time
Speaker 3: at all. And after twenty five minutes, I said to
Speaker 3: the person next to me, this is an experiment to
Speaker 3: see how quickly it can make me insane. That was
Speaker 3: twenty five minutes in. At the hour and ten mark,
Speaker 3: I left.
Speaker 2: Ooh, oh so bad.
Speaker 3: These people thought they were so cute and entertaining and
Speaker 3: we were all so stupid.
Speaker 2: Oh lord, I've been that situation. I'm strong in Getty
Speaker 2: wrapping up another grueling four hour workday, so.
Speaker 3: Many people, thank so little time. Good Armstrong and Getty
Speaker 3: outcome for the hot links. Oh the stuff we posted
Speaker 3: today will blow your mind. That Chinese or combat robots.
Speaker 3: They will haunt your dreams. Oh, they will see you tomorrow.
Speaker 3: God bless America.
Speaker 2: If you missed any part of the Armstrong and Caddy.
Speaker 3: So I walked in there and it smelt like the
Speaker 3: undead had had digestive problems and.
Speaker 2: That they, you know, crap and then got behind the frankness.
Speaker 2: That's among the worst things you've ever said. Well, it was.
Speaker 2: It was graphic. I'll grind you, undead diges
