And then the next thing I noticed was they turned off comments on their ads 35 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,000 and they turned off like counts. 36 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,360 Weird how this should have been an app. 37 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,480 Oh, wait, it is. 38 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,280 So now that people have their hands on this device, 39 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:57,320 it didn't take long for someone to reverse engineer and find out that 40 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,280 it's just running Android and the entire thing is just a single Android app. 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,960 They actually got it running on an Android phone, too. 42 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,600 Like it's it's literally just running an Android app. 43 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,920 Not only could it have just been an app, it literally is. 44 00:02:09,920 --> 00:02:12,480 And they're just not letting you have it as an app. 45 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:17,720 Now, Rabbit claims that like their their real sauce is their large action model, 46 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,560 which is their back end that lets their device do stuff. 47 00:02:20,920 --> 00:02:22,840 But it doesn't do stuff right now. 48 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,640 It does very little stuff right now. 49 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:29,160 If there was an actually accurate AI that was capable of interfacing with things 50 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,920 at the scale that these companies are claiming that they could do, 51 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,000 that'd be kind of neat, I guess. 52 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,240 Maybe it'd be like a nice accessibility tool, maybe. 53 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,520 But I still would basically never trust an AI that can hallucinate 54 00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:44,600 to determine where I want to go in an Uber ride. 55 00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:48,800 If you're looking for a job, a great way to be compensated until the end of your life 56 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,440 is to be a whistleblower for Boeing that is not a job. 57 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,840 We're going to workshop. We're going to workshop the intro. 58 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,960 Joke. There is now a second dead Boeing whistleblower. 59 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,320 It's an accident. 60 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:08,800 He got sick suddenly and died suddenly after being a whistleblower 61 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:12,520 during an ongoing inquiry into Boeing about a lack of safety measures. 62 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:13,760 The second one dead. 63 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,920 Joshua Dean was by all accounts healthy and perfectly fine before 64 00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:19,920 becoming ill and dying very suddenly. 65 00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:22,440 He worked at a supplier for Boeing where he noted, 66 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:27,040 hey, the safety here is not safety here. 67 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,840 And they were like, shut up, get back to work. 68 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,120 Dean was fired in 2023 and fired a complaint with the NLRB, 69 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,760 citing that his termination was retaliatory in nature 70 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:39,320 because he was like, hey, these planes aren't safe. 71 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,560 Now, Sam Salapor, who recently testified in front of Congress, 72 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:43,800 he's still alive. 73 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:45,720 He's the third whistleblower and 74 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,320 hopefully he's safe. 75 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,800 But like, we know what happened here. 76 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,360 Like, let's not just let's not kid ourselves. 77 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,440 But it's Boeing. 78 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,280 America is not about to do anything to Boeing 79 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,800 that would actually threaten its business operations. 80 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,120 I truly don't see a world where it's like, wow, you guys did bad, 81 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,440 like real bad, like real obviously bad. 82 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,920 And so we're going to find you a substantial amount 83 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,920 or completely change your leadership or do anything else. 84 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,440 This is not going to happen. 85 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,640 It's Boeing. 86 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:18,120 They're a massive defense contractor and a huge cash cow. 87 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,040 I wouldn't be surprised to learn 88 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,360 that one of our fabulous three letter agencies 89 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,320 is already involved. 90 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:26,640 That is speculation. 91 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,960 It's genuinely difficult to not just sound 92 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,560 like a conspiracy theorist, 93 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,440 but it's two whistleblowers dead from a massive corporation 94 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,440 in the midst of an ongoing inquiry 95 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,440 into their lack of safety measures. 96 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:40,800 Like, ah, ah, ah, ah. 97 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,360 We're going to need more tinfoil. 98 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,080 Employees at Google who were recently fired over Google's 99 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,120 association with Israel and their billion dollar contract 100 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,120 have filed a complaint with the NLRB against Google, 101 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,320 saying that they were unlawfully retaliated against, 102 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:57,160 including one employee who was just near the protest 103 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:58,360 and got fired. 104 00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,760 He wasn't even protesting. 105 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,440 He was just observing and got fired. 106 00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:03,880 But perhaps Google doesn't give a shit 107 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,080 because they've laid off like thousands and thousands 108 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,360 of employees recently. 109 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,560 They just dropped another 200. 110 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,360 This time, people who were on their way 111 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,720 and people who were on their core teams, 112 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,400 including safety and privacy, but it's OK. 113 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,840 Google says that they're going to bridge these gaps with AI, 114 00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:23,640 which, uh, unrelated. 115 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,760 Google has had a 15% increase in quarterly revenue 116 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:32,480 in Q1 from last year and just launched a $70 billion 117 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,120 stock buyback program. 118 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,160 They also recently passed a market cap of $2 trillion. 119 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,280 So maybe they don't need employees. 120 00:05:39,280 --> 00:05:41,280 Money is the product now. 121 00:05:41,280 --> 00:05:44,880 Here are a few recent updates on the ongoing genocide in Gaza. 122 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,360 The most recent ceasefire talks that several Western nations 123 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,600 were saying, oh, this is the one. 124 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,640 This is the one. 125 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:50,280 They fell through. 126 00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:52,520 Israel is now saying that they are absolutely 127 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:56,200 going to be launching an operation into Ra'fa, which 128 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,640 is where there's over a million refugees. 129 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,480 They are sheltering there because they 130 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,000 were told to go there. 131 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,200 They were told this is the safe place to flee to 132 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,840 if you're a civilian, go here. 133 00:06:05,840 --> 00:06:08,480 There's virtually no reasonable way to get out of Ra'fa, 134 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,080 and you have to pay money to leave. 135 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:14,120 Money that I'm sure they could get from a bank or maybe back 136 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:17,320 home if they had a bank or a home left. 137 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,120 And also it shouldn't. 138 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,400 As the ceasefire talks were going on, Western countries 139 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,600 and members of the G7 urged the International Criminal 140 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:29,560 Court to hold off on charging Netanyahu with genocide. 141 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,160 They were like, please hold off on charging him with genocide 142 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:33,880 because it might hurt his feefies. 143 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,360 And that would sour the talks. 144 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,640 If you, I mean, he sure he is doing some genocide. 145 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,080 But like, just don't, don't say that. 146 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,760 Just yesterday, Israel banned Middle Eastern outlet 147 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,760 Al Jazeera from the country. 148 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:47,920 They were saying that they were spreading anti-Israel 149 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:50,760 sentiment, and so they cannot operate there. 150 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:51,600 Very free. 151 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,280 I want to be super clear that despite where your stance is 152 00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:57,520 on any of this, a country that says, hey, you're not 153 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,000 allowed to say that the country is bad, is bad. 154 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,320 But clearly speaking, ill of Israel is a high crime. 155 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,640 And speaking of that, the US House of Representatives 156 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,920 just passed a bill that does exactly that. 157 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,680 It makes criticizing Israel considered anti-Semitic hate 158 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:13,200 speech. 159 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,560 Because again, Jews must fit in our definition of Jews. 160 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,920 And in our definition of Jews, it's Israel. 161 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,640 That's what Jew is. 162 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,680 If you're not actually familiar with Judaism and Zionism 163 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,240 and whatnot, Zionism is a political movement. 164 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,520 It is not religious. 165 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,440 It is a political movement. 166 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,200 Jews are not inherently Zionists. 167 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,160 And also, Zionists are not inherently Jews. 168 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,960 There's plenty of Christian Zionists 169 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,360 because they believe it's a part of a larger master plan that 170 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,000 brings about the second coming of Jesus and the rapture. 171 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,800 And it's a death cult. 172 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:46,520 Like, it's a straight up death cult. 173 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,320 And it's very bizarre. 174 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,280 And it's not what Judaism is about, 175 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,920 which explains why there are so many Jewish people and rabbis 176 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,040 at pro-Palestinian protests. 177 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,880 They're like, hey, stop doing violence in the name of Jews. 178 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,840 This is explicitly not our deal. 179 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,120 Anyway, regarding that law, the ACLU is already pushing back. 180 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:05,880 And it's probably not going to go anywhere. 181 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,360 The Senate still has to pass it. 182 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:08,640 Biden has to sign it. 183 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720 I doubtful it's going to go through and do anything. 184 00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,840 But I would gesture broadly at the current state 185 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,280 of American politics. 186 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:16,720 So I don't know. 187 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,360 Gaming. 188 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,240 It is rumored that the Switch 2 is going 189 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,560 to have magnetically attaching joy cons, 190 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,960 as opposed to the slighty clicky kind that it has right now, 191 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:26,200 which the first thing that happened to my Switch when 192 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,360 I got it on launch day was someone else took it, 193 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:30,520 tried to put the joy con in. 194 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,560 They put it in backwards and it got stuck. 195 00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:34,480 So here I was with a brand new Switch. 196 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,120 I feel like, oh god, it's broken. 197 00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:40,080 They are making a new Game of Thrones MMORPG. 198 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:42,080 This happened once before, like 10 years ago. 199 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,720 And it didn't work. 200 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,640 It got canceled. 201 00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:45,600 Maybe this one will. 202 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,040 The developer is Nexon. 203 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:48,840 I'm not familiar. 204 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,840 Hasbro has said that they're going 205 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:51,040 to start making more games. 206 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:52,400 They're going to work with third parties 207 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,160 and also build them in-house. 208 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:55,000 And they're claiming that they're 209 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,440 going to be to a similar quality of Baldur's Gate 3, which 210 00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,920 is genuinely hysterical. 211 00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:01,680 If you have, or more specifically, 212 00:09:01,680 --> 00:09:04,120 if you haven't played the Mass Effect series, 213 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,240 the Mass Effect Legendary Edition is currently 90% off 214 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:07,880 on Steam. 215 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,280 That's all of the original games in their DLC 216 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,280 and remastered. 217 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:12,600 So neat. 218 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,800 Players of Helldivers 2 got really, really big mad 219 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:18,160 because the developers announced that they 220 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,560 were going to have an update that requires you to log in 221 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:22,840 to a Sony account for some reason, 222 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,280 even if you're playing on Steam. 223 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,040 And Sony is now backtracking. 224 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:27,960 They've actually announced that they're not going to go for 225 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:31,320 with that update because obviously, lightning round. 226 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,760 We are finally seeing the beginnings of trials 227 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:35,480 for COVID relief fraud. 228 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,080 There's like seven trials going on out of 70 that are planned. 229 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,760 China's Academy of Sciences has released the most detailed map 230 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,960 of the moon ever. 231 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,640 Jake Paul and Mike Tyson are going to fight. 232 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:47,440 OK. 233 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,960 Tesla is laying off hundreds more employees. 234 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,760 They recently laid off 14,000 employees. 235 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,360 Razer, the gaming peripheral company, 236 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,600 made a face mask, like an RGB face mask, 237 00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,520 that they claimed was going to be as good as N95s. 238 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,000 And that was just a straight up lie. 239 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,720 And now they have to pay a million dollars. 240 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:09,640 Since no one listens to me, since nobody ever listens, 241 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,240 some Catholic media group put up an AI chatbot that claimed 242 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:14,480 to be a priest. 243 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,960 And it said that you can baptize people in Gatorade. 244 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:18,240 They've taken it offline. 245 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,800 Stop making AI chatbots. 246 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,760 Some space junk from the International Space Station 247 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,600 fell through the roof of a random person's house in Florida. 248 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:29,000 They're fine, cosmically. 249 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:31,400 The US is finally considering changing cannabis 250 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,080 to be a schedule three drug instead of schedule one, 251 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,720 which is like heroin and shit. 252 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,080 The UK had their local elections recently, 253 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,880 and the Tories, their conservatives, 254 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:46,880 lost bad, like, bad, like hundreds of seats. 255 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:51,520 Ron DeSantis has banned lab grown meat in Florida. 256 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,280 And I am not kidding when I say that the genesis of this 257 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,320 goes back to anti-Semitic and racist conspiracy theories 258 00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,800 that started during COVID. 259 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,280 While you're out there living your life, going to your job, 260 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,680 hanging out with your family, seeing your friends, 261 00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:07,640 doing fun things, there's a contingent of people out there 262 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,000 who are so preoccupied with their hatred 263 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,040 that they're now banning lab grown meat. 264 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,800 And that's not supposed to make sense. 265 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,240 There's not supposed to be dots to connect there, 266 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:17,560 because they shouldn't have been connected 267 00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:18,520 in the first place. 268 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:19,440 Blankers tell. 269 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,000 Anyway, let's cut this off with this one. 270 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,800 With all the great advancements in AI recently, 271 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:27,480 the US Air Force is working on AI-powered fighter jets. 272 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:29,600 They say that the jets are already beating out 273 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:33,960 human pilots in air-to-air combat simulations. 274 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:35,320 Cool. 275 00:11:35,320
