WEBVTT - Do Australian’s Want To Get Rich? 🦘 🤑 0:00:01.200 --> 0:00:04.080 On Flex and Frooms Flex and Firms. This is the 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:05.960 Flex and Frooms catch up podcast. 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:10.399 It is Flex and Frooms on cater The podcast is 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.239 the gift that keeps on giving. I need you to 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:16.080 understand how much of a skill it is to be 0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.360 able to share our thoughts off the cuff like this. 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:20.680 Someone sent me a message the other day reflecting on 0:00:20.680 --> 0:00:23.079 this podcast I used to do, and how at the 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:26.280 time they couldn't appreciate that although my approach was straightforward, 0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:29.440 the information always slapped and they couldn't get past the 0:00:29.520 --> 0:00:33.000 straightforward approach to hear the information. So that I say, 0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:35.560 you're lucky that I don't rely on external validation to 0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:38.000 feel something. I gave it to myself. But I will 0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.680 take that I appreciate It's. 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.680 A nice little treit on the side, a little treat anyway. 0:00:41.800 --> 0:00:43.959 Podcast time, Flex and Frooms. 0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:46.440 Something that we often speak about on the show is riches, 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:48.879 not so much rags. We're not really focusing on the 0:00:48.880 --> 0:00:52.400 come up story as much as the current day swag 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:55.600 and riches, some would say, And so I'm always looking 0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.800 for stories that exacerbate this narrative, or rather look as 0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:01.040 if we are trying to inter it in a meaningful 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:03.840 and exciting way. That's why I'm on the City Morning Herald. 0:01:03.880 --> 0:01:06.120 As you know, this is my publication of choice. You 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.920 go to and I see this title, most of us 0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.280 don't really want to be rich, for better or worse. 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:14.319 And I'll just start by saying, Sydney Morning Herald has 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.840 really been popping its bussy coming out with these opinion 0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.399 pieces lately. They've really been put in some pizazz into 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:21.560 the titles. And I'm not sure if it's because it's 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:23.080 the cost of them in crisis. And then you get 0:01:23.080 --> 0:01:26.360 the subscribers up, but it's generating interest. 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:27.440 Have you let them know? 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:28.280 No? 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:31.120 But hopefully this will get back to someone great. So 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.319 this guy called Roskins, don't know his story, but he 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:40.560 wrote this opinion piece and he thinks that most Australians 0:01:40.720 --> 0:01:42.880 would like to be rich if the riches were delivered 0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:47.280 to us on a plate. But Australians don't actually want 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:49.640 to become more productive to make money. So now some 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:51.720 people are like, if you just work, blah blah blah. 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:53.640 It turns out the average person doesn't want to work 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.200 that hard, which should come as no surprise. So this 0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.480 question has arisen because the productivity Commissions five yearly has 0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:02.280 just come out, as we know, around the election, these 0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.720 kind of things come out, and the productivity performance that 0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:10.000 was discovered is that we haven't gotten much richer over 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:11.440 the last decade. But you know how it's always like 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.720 Australia is prospering more and more money. It turns out 0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:16.320 that it's not actually because of individual wealth. Obviously, it's 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.400 because of the mining projects and whatnot. And the reason 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.280 why we're becoming more wealthier is because people are squeezing 0:02:23.639 --> 0:02:29.400 more productivity out of us, as we know. So really 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.639 when the government. 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.080 Oh so, what you're saying is like when people are 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.240 saying Australia is getting richer, it's not the individuals getting richer. 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.920 It's the corporations getting richer because they're able to squeeze 0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:41.720 more labor out of us at the same wage or 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:46.760 rate or whatever. Yes, we're working more optimally, but not 0:02:46.840 --> 0:02:48.320 for our own personal gain. 0:02:53.400 --> 0:02:56.480 And yet apparently the ways to get more productivity out 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.919 of people is to give them the education, give them 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:03.239 better machines, improve the way businesses organize their work organized 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:07.680 in bunny rabbits. So it actually says that the rate 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:11.040 of productivity improvement over the past decade has been the 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:14.720 slowest in sixty years. So it's all giving me a 0:03:14.720 --> 0:03:15.800 lot of different facts. 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:19.600 I mean, that makes sense to me. I feel like 0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.919 a couple of years ago, when the narrative that millennials 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.640 are lazy was running rampant. I know there was a 0:03:27.720 --> 0:03:30.520 small subset of millennials were really offended by that because 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.240 they had kind of been indoctrinated into hustle culture and 0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:38.760 were really working at quite insane race to achieve success. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:41.480 And they did that, but that was not the main narrative. 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.280 If anything, the counter narrative was just as strong and 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.800 was being spread by more people, people saying, well, I 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:50.080 don't want to actually work, I don't dream of labor, 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.760 I don't want to upskill, I don't want to stay back, 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.040 I don't want career accolades. And that message just got 0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:59.920 suppressed in silence or overshadowed by the rags to riches, 0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:05.120 get rich quick, hustle culture rise and grind narrative. And 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:07.560 you know, neither one is good or bad or whatever. 0:04:07.600 --> 0:04:10.320 But I think it's really important to interrogate the way 0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.960 we feel about work so we can figure out what 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:16.919 purpose work serve. Work serves for most of us. Right, 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.679 So you and I work, and we talk very often 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.320 about how I mean, we have different approaches to work. 0:04:22.440 --> 0:04:24.280 I want to work so I can make a lot 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:28.640 of money and not work. How I do it is incidental, 0:04:29.240 --> 0:04:32.600 because what other choice do I feel like I have. Right, 0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.359 The kind of life I want to live requires me 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.440 to work at a really, really, really hectic rate. And 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.600 I've said it plenty of times. I would never work 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:43.599 the way I've worked in the last ten years to 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.760 achieve the same amount of success. I wouldn't do it, 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.640 but I can only know that from doing it. There 0:04:49.680 --> 0:04:52.400 are a ton of people who are way more critical 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:53.760 and who can say I actually don't want to work 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:58.120 that hard period. But now that people's daily needs are 0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:01.120 being put into question, the fact that people can't even 0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.839 meet their daily needs without overworking themselves is a conversation 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.080 we can't have when people are convincing themselves that work 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.120 is a very exciting thing for them and that they 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.480 dream and live of labor. But I also think it's 0:05:12.480 --> 0:05:16.640 counterintuitive to assume that no labor is the solution, like 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.800 you're going to I don't want to work yourself into homelessness. 0:05:20.160 --> 0:05:22.400 Well, this just interested me because of the whole hustle 0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:25.479 culture narrative. I feel like in the last ten years 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.600 that's when the girl boss was invented. Like obviously in 0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:32.200 the nineties you had the like women and mums working 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.560 like from the eighties onwards and then, but the real 0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:38.039 girl bossification of like young women creating companies was of 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:39.840 the last ten years. So it's interesting to me that 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.560 the data actually doesn't show that, just as we're coming 0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:46.040 into the slump of people actually questioning neoliberalism. 0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:51.200 Yeah, but girl bossary isn't. Girl bossary is a counter 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:55.560 conversation to natural hustle culture and capitalism. It wasn't made 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:57.640 for women or with women in mind. No, it was 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.359 made by men and four men. So the fact that 0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.200 girl bosstery is risen and dropped is secondary to the 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:06.039 fact that the general patriarchal narrative to work is confused 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:10.120 because people don't think, okit, flex and frooms flex and 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:11.640 firms flexy. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.120 Do you engage in cryptocurrency? 0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.640 Well, the hot question is it's a hot question. 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.560 I would say actively no, but passively yes because of 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.000 rooms not financial advice. But frooms bought an old coin. 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.159 So I bought an old coin and I lost I 0:06:25.160 --> 0:06:28.039 don't know money, and I thought it's not fun anymore. 0:06:29.080 --> 0:06:31.400 It got to a point where, because I didn't know 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.560 what I was investing in, I said, this is not 0:06:33.600 --> 0:06:36.680 dissimilar to gambling, and I don't believe in gambling. So 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:37.920 I stopped. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:39.960 Really went down that route. Well, a woman has sent 0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.760 in an issue that she wants us to dissect involving 0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.960 her husband and crypto, which is always a bit of 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:46.520 a terrible sentence, i'd say. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:48.120 She says, this is the title. 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.760 My husband, a thirty four year old man, were scammed 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:54.040 out of eleven thousand dollars, and now I, twenty nine female, 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.279 am thinking we need to divorce to protect my own 0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:04.400 financial security. Okay, it's Monday, guys. I can't always, how 0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:06.960 do I say, use my words correctly? 0:07:06.960 --> 0:07:08.000 I need a bit of warm up. 0:07:08.160 --> 0:07:10.520 I just ate a whole bunch of vodkapasta. Okay, but 0:07:10.600 --> 0:07:14.080 let's get back into the story. She writes, we had, have. 0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:20.640 We Some people just can't read out loud. I did 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.680 have to find out very quickly on in high school. 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.400 I had to get extra comprehension levels when I was seven. 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:29.080 But now I'm a writer. So an a a radio 0:07:29.080 --> 0:07:33.640 host is that nepotism. We'll let the door, all right. 0:07:33.720 --> 0:07:34.360 This is the story. 0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:38.840 We have had an open relationship due to sexual compatibility. 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.160 We have been married almost seven years. My husband has 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:45.120 never really seen anyone outside the relationship, but started using 0:07:45.160 --> 0:07:47.720 a dating app a month ago and met Leoni, who 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:50.160 scammed him out of eleven thousand dollars in an internet 0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:54.440 cryptocurrency sheam. I have been considering divorce for some time, 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:56.920 but after seeing how careless and dishonest he is with 0:07:56.960 --> 0:07:59.200 our money, I'm now thinking I will need to divorce 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:01.360 him to protect my own financial stability. 0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:02.120 That's on that. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.960 I've been fretting away a ten k deposit to a 0:08:05.000 --> 0:08:07.680 divorce attorney, and now that seems like an amount of 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.120 money he or we could clearly live without. My husband 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:13.680 also now claims he won't try and date anyone anymore, 0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.360 but I did not want to close a relationship, especially 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:19.120 given the fact that he has lost my trust. Any 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:20.600 advice is appreciated. 0:08:20.960 --> 0:08:21.960 This is so laateate. 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.320 I don't even know like it wouldn't an open relationship 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:30.080 mean that you would have heaps of trust? 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.760 I think that's where ethical non monogamy comes to. That's 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:36.200 that's the difference. Some people do open, some people do ethical. 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.080 How old's a husband thirty four years old, so young 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.920 enough to know or young enough to have a pretty 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:46.040 good amount of Internet literacy, smart enough to not get 0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:50.319 conned into a crypto dating app scam. And this is 0:08:50.360 --> 0:08:54.200 the thing about dating apps, right, this illusion of access 0:08:54.240 --> 0:08:56.760 to hotties, because the only people who get scammed out 0:08:56.800 --> 0:09:00.400 of money on a dating app people dating outside of 0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:05.080 their equal attraction. There's a random person with a fake account. 0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.920 They're using model pictures. Your ego says, oh my goodness, 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.360 this is my physical equal. I'm hot. They're hot, They're 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.880 obviously into me. And when this hot person, whoever signed 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:19.520 positive attributes for being hot, asks me silly questions like. 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.959 Wats your day of birth? And email? 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.200 What's your email? A dress? Watch your full number and 0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:27.600 a dress? And can I have your binance logging? 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.360 Can I get the twenty five special code please that 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:32.199 you've written on a No. 0:09:32.360 --> 0:09:34.880 You say, well, Leonic clearly loves me, and so I 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.120 will do this for her. You're a dummy, dummy I 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.440 would say divorce because of the money thing. You're so right. 0:09:43.160 --> 0:09:45.280 I just feel like for seven years you've been married, 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.160 we saw what happened to Adele? And if you didn't 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.240 see what happened to Adele, Adele and her now ex 0:09:51.320 --> 0:09:55.760 husband were going through quite a tumultuous divorce. They themselves 0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:58.640 weren't speaking out about it, but obviously sources came forward 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:02.320 it and disclosed what had happened. And he was trying 0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.600 to sue her for this immense sum like millions and 0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.679 millions and millions of dollars, and his reasoning for being 0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:11.960 entitled to that money was because she made a lot 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.240 of her wealth writing songs about their love. 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:16.280 Oh my god, what happened? 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:18.640 Well, they took I think they thought they figured it. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:23.200 What happens when you figure it out out of court settlement? Yeah, 0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:26.599 they settled. So if that could happen to it, it 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.320 happened to you keep your money safe, divorce him, not 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:32.840 because he's gonna come for your money, because you can't 0:10:32.840 --> 0:10:35.160 trust him to make smart decisions. If it's not this scam, 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:38.400 it's the hey mom scam, Hey mom, can you just 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:39.679 send me your bank details? 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.800 I will say I don't want a victim shame those 0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:44.120 that have been, No, I will. 0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.240 Nobody wants to be cut by a scam. 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.280 I feel like I've been very close close to being 0:10:49.920 --> 0:10:53.360 chopped up by a scam, and therefore I feel bad 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:56.760 for him. However, it's a little bit like, can't make 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:58.359 a retribution if you will. 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:02.760 This is how easy out. Yes, facts, if you were 0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.200 really right or die, you would stay.

This 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.160 is flex and rooms on Kata. 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.320 Another day, another sleigh, this one in particular thanks to 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.040 Shivas Regal. Love your work, thanks for spending a marketing 0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:45.480 budget on the girlies. Let's talk success, but the contradictions 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:46.800 of gaining success. 0:11:47.120 --> 0:11:48.720 We've spoken about it before where I. 0:11:48.640 --> 0:11:51.840 Said that I don't think that you can be considered 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:56.320 successful unless you're inherently seen as cringe. I just feel 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:59.079 like duality is real. With every good there is a 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:01.920 bad up, there is a down. With every left, there 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:04.679 is a right. With every successful person is a cringe 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:06.560 person in the same exact body. 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:09.640 We do say in terms of who to date, a 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:14.640 content creator is probably least run this, which every time 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:19.240 it's not looking good for us. BROV Speaking for myself, 0:12:20.240 --> 0:12:22.920 obviously we have some unresolved trauma in the studio here today, but. 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.040 It's all from the use of we every time. 0:12:27.080 --> 0:12:30.240 I agree that with every piece of success there is 0:12:30.280 --> 0:12:32.000 a flop. You just want to hope that your flops 0:12:32.000 --> 0:12:33.079 aren't publicized. 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:35.079 No you don't. 0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.400 Think no, please continue. 0:12:37.720 --> 0:12:41.520 Well, I was gonna say flops are inherently embarrassing. Some 0:12:41.559 --> 0:12:43.480 would say we both did agree, and I will say 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.679 both of us on this one that flops are an 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:48.360 important part of being successful because, as you know, you 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.440 miss one hundred percent of the shots that you don't take, 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:52.240 and when you're taking a lot of shots, some of 0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:54.520 them are going to land or hit the hoop correctly. 0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:56.840 And I think you're. 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:01.079 Hit the hoop correctly, which sport. 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.280 It's starting to sound like mister Universe trying to explend it. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.720 The reason why I think the flop shouldn't be hidden 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:12.320 is if you find yourself inadvertently projecting a narrative that 0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:18.000 you are an infallible person, your fall from grace would 0:13:18.000 --> 0:13:22.080 be dramatic. It'll be the thing that forever you know, 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.160 whereas you do a few and look. A flop doesn't 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:28.480 have to be objective. It can be a subjective flop, 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.040 your favorite thing you've ever done in your career in 0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:35.520 the eyes of somebody else, flop city shocking. 0:13:37.000 --> 0:13:41.480 How do you deal with being a flop? Seriously serious? 0:13:41.960 --> 0:13:43.720 Let's say you make something that you think is amazing 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:46.480 and based on your metrics. It doesn't have to be 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.800 likes or engagement or for whatever reason, it doesn't land 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:49.600 the way you intended. 0:13:49.880 --> 0:13:53.320 Do you care? I care, but you have to double down. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:58.040 You gotta double down. It's one thing to know that 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:01.960 you yourself aren'nhappy with the way that something's been perceived 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.680 or interpreted. But don't let it be the common narrative, please. 0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:08.160 I will say there is a fine line too, of 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:13.600 showing people the process and not normalizing what is a 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:16.480 very odd thing to be, which is an exceptional person 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:20.120 some exceptional people, and I would say that people who 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.640 have amassed a lot of success are exceptional. It's not 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:26.200 a common thing. Do themselves a disservice by trying to 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:30.040 show up as someone who's regular. And yes, the narrative 0:14:30.080 --> 0:14:32.560 is helpful sometimes, but it's not like, for example, I 0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:36.200 was saying before. Tory Lane's R and B singer rapper, 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:41.280 quite famous for insert make the stallion, put the verb 0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.920 in if you will. Tory Lanes is a very famous artist, 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.520 a very prolific artist, a very objectively successful artist, one 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:53.600 heaps of awards. Is renowned to be incredible because he 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.000 had a hit and it went viral, and people assume 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:58.920 that would have been the inception of his career. No, 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.360 this I released as mixtapes back to back to back 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:04.880 to back. When covers were a thing before everyone you 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.520 wet copyright making covers as soon as the song got popular. 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.640 He would make a cover as soon as someone was 0:15:10.720 --> 0:15:12.480 up and would come and he would try and collaborate 0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.640 with them. Now, if we look at his body of work, 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.880 he probably has one thousand songs available to be consumed publicly. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:23.160 But people refuse to see that necessary that we can 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:25.040 have access to that. So we're not all like, oh, 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:27.960 we released one song as you Have Yes and you 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:29.360 Wonder why the Grammy hasn't come. 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:34.840 I was collaborating with a real Grammy, real Grammy winner 0:15:35.640 --> 0:15:37.800 and another Grammy affiliated artist. 0:15:38.160 --> 0:15:39.960 That's probably one of my biggest successes. 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:43.640 And there have been other flop songs such as Tuna 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:46.760 I can't say it on air, but Tuna Dick. That 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:49.520 was a ode to a coworker that wouldn't let me 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.000 heat up tuna in the microwave. 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:52.400 Somehow didn't get fired. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:55.360 Definitely made redundant about a year later, but I did 0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:57.160 write on the coattails of that song for a little while. 0:15:57.880 --> 0:15:58.800 Thank you for sharing. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:01.120 Flex and firms Flex and free. 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.280 Cater never miss a beat. If you are the type 0:16:04.280 --> 0:16:06.760 of person who believes you don't have to say please 0:16:06.800 --> 0:16:09.640 and thank you to your AI. You're Siri, You're Bixby, 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:12.320 You're Alexa. You are the weakest link, and you're the 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.280 first one they're going to take it. I'm telling you, 0:16:14.440 --> 0:16:14.840 let's just have. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:19.080 A quick moment. Bixby is a real thing. Android uses stand. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:25.760 Up, stand up now. I was off grid when chat 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:29.520 chat bet what's the called chat GPT? I was off 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:32.800 grid when chat GPT was announced. I was in Ghana 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.200 doing Eat Prey Love Barely online. So when I came back, 0:16:36.240 --> 0:16:38.920 I was so behind the curb and I thought it 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:40.480 was going to die out. I thought it was going 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:42.960 to I thought it was going to be discussed into obscurity. 0:16:42.960 --> 0:16:46.360 I didn't pay attention. Come to find out that four 0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.760 months later, a new chat beat what is. 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:51.880 This thing called chat GPT? 0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:56.080 A new chat GPT has launched that's apparently ten times 0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:59.000 better than the original, And people who know what these 0:16:59.000 --> 0:17:02.480 things mean are scared. So as I stay with Glee, 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.000 you should be scared to listen to this. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.600 It's only been six hours since GPT four was released, 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:08.520 and these are the crazy things that people have been doing. 0:17:08.560 --> 0:17:10.679 After you see these use cases, things may never be 0:17:10.720 --> 0:17:13.280 the same again. For example, it turned this hand drawn 0:17:13.359 --> 0:17:16.320 napkin into a fully functioning website, and that is because 0:17:16.359 --> 0:17:19.200 GPT four can now process images and spit out texts, 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.840 whereas with GPT three you could only do text to text, 0:17:21.960 --> 0:17:23.840 which means you can feed it an image and GPT 0:17:23.880 --> 0:17:26.040 four can tell you why it's so funny or generate 0:17:26.080 --> 0:17:28.520 social media captions based on the image that you feed it. 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.520 It can also do drug discovery, finding similar drugs and 0:17:31.560 --> 0:17:34.560 making sure they're not patented, purchasing from a supplier and 0:17:34.640 --> 0:17:37.480 including an email with a purchase order, finding loopholes in 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.280 contracts and exploiting them. You'll also see more accuracy in 0:17:40.359 --> 0:17:43.199 GPT four compared to GPT three, which sometimes gave you 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:46.000 the wrong answer. My most hated subject tax accounting. You 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:48.479 can get it to interpret tax code for you. Of 0:17:48.520 --> 0:17:50.560 course you always need to check with an accountant, but 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:53.360 basically you paste the whole code in there and ask 0:17:53.520 --> 0:17:56.040 a question based on your situation, where it can interpret 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:58.840 the code and also give you the answer with reasoning. 0:17:59.080 --> 0:18:00.760 To get access to GPE D four, you do need 0:18:00.800 --> 0:18:02.960 to have a GPT plus once you've signed up. You 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.880 should see this at the very top. I'll be playing 0:18:04.880 --> 0:18:07.160 around with GPT four, so follow on for more tips 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:07.560 and tricks. 0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.320 I feel like what people fail to disclose is that 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:15.159 to receive any benefit from using chat GPT, you need 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:18.040 to have a baseline of extreme intelligence, because I wouldn't 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:21.199 even know to ask these things to do these things, 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.159 let alone trust that the answer it's giving me should 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:26.800 be acknowledged, like it can help you with. 0:18:26.760 --> 0:18:28.919 Tax What do you mean you don't even know what 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:31.040 a tax is? Okay at this point, no, I mean 0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:36.119 it like, what is the tax code? I'm being serious, Okay, 0:18:38.800 --> 0:18:40.920 chat GPT four do we endorse? 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:46.080 I endorse because I think the sooner, the sooner we 0:18:46.240 --> 0:18:51.760 get serious about AI singularity, the sooner we start knowing 0:18:51.960 --> 0:18:55.399 Asmov's law robotics, like we know our TikTok for you 0:18:55.480 --> 0:18:58.679 pages the better stuff. It's really scary. And also I 0:18:58.680 --> 0:19:01.400 think that a lot of us have this belief that 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:03.240 if things were to go down and buy down, I 0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:06.000 mean it's robot AI was uprise, that we'd be safe. 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:07.640 No babes were the weak is link already. 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:10.640 And given how quick this came about, you know how 0:19:10.720 --> 0:19:13.960 like things compound and then they get bigger really quickly. 0:19:14.040 --> 0:19:16.159 Like if you make a dollar a day and then 0:19:16.200 --> 0:19:17.720 you do something with it, it can become. 0:19:17.480 --> 0:19:18.320 A million dollars a week. 0:19:18.480 --> 0:19:21.880 Talk an investing, don't make me go into it. 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:25.000 Take the paper clip to a house phenomena from like 0:19:25.040 --> 0:19:29.760 two thousand and four. If the same principles have been 0:19:29.760 --> 0:19:32.760 applied to chat GPT, it could only be a matter 0:19:32.800 --> 0:19:37.959 of months until humans. Until humans are rendered obsolete. 0:19:37.800 --> 0:19:40.920 The only solution is becoming an analog babe, because there's 0:19:40.960 --> 0:19:43.600 digital digital every day is not helpful. All your digital 0:19:43.640 --> 0:19:46.600 marketers out of a job tomorrow. We need farmers. 0:19:46.760 --> 0:19:48.159 I was gonna say, farm wants a wife. 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.760
