WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.200 hello i betrayed my friends at the house on the 00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:08.320 hill but stuff still happened so what's up it's 00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.400 apple's turn to do the artificial artificial 00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:13.300 intelligence thing so all the way back 10 years 00:00:13.300 --> 00:00:15.679 ago when it was last year apple announced the 00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:18.239 iphone 16 and they were like this is built from 00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.309 the ground up for Apple intelligence. They then 00:00:21.309 --> 00:00:23.129 went on to showcase a whole bunch of features 00:00:23.129 --> 00:00:25.449 about how it could reach into apps on your phone 00:00:25.449 --> 00:00:27.269 and like learn stuff about you, but still be 00:00:27.269 --> 00:00:29.829 private and do all this cool stuff and how Siri 00:00:29.829 --> 00:00:32.070 wouldn't suck anymore. And that was all lies. 00:00:32.289 --> 00:00:35.049 I mean, lies, lies -ish. It was lies adjacent. 00:00:35.429 --> 00:00:38.090 Apple has rolled out some of their Apple intelligence 00:00:38.090 --> 00:00:41.390 features. I turn them off on my devices because 00:00:41.390 --> 00:00:44.429 they're bad, but they've rolled out some, just 00:00:44.429 --> 00:00:47.670 not most. And they just keep delaying these features 00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:50.329 because it turns out the developers learned about 00:00:50.329 --> 00:00:52.770 these features basically when we did. See, Apple 00:00:52.770 --> 00:00:55.350 has a long history of not jumping onto a new 00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:58.570 feature or product first. They'll wait and then 00:00:58.570 --> 00:01:02.070 do it the Apple way, which frankly does usually 00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:04.329 work out for them. They've got multiple trillions 00:01:04.329 --> 00:01:07.780 of dollars in market value. I have. like a crisp 00:01:07.780 --> 00:01:10.439 $20 bill by comparison. But this time it kind 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:12.420 of fucked them over. They didn't have any plan 00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.920 for AI before ChatGPT became a thing. And even 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:17.819 when that happened, they were like, shit, okay, 00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:21.590 like how do we make something? just so that we 00:01:21.590 --> 00:01:23.269 can put it out there. So apparently they tried 00:01:23.269 --> 00:01:25.750 just like updating Siri to allow Siri to reach 00:01:25.750 --> 00:01:28.250 out to an AI and like answer some questions, 00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:30.829 but that just created more bugs than it was worth. 00:01:30.870 --> 00:01:32.370 So they gave up on that, which is why we now 00:01:32.370 --> 00:01:34.450 have that like middle ground thing where sometimes 00:01:34.450 --> 00:01:36.890 Siri gets a query and it's like, ah, I don't 00:01:36.890 --> 00:01:39.030 fucking know. Want me to ask chat GPT? Or at 00:01:39.030 --> 00:01:40.230 least I think that's how that works. Again, I 00:01:40.230 --> 00:01:43.349 turn it off because I don't want this. I'm not 00:01:43.349 --> 00:01:45.150 complaining that this isn't a thing. I don't 00:01:45.150 --> 00:01:47.129 want it in the first place, but it's still very 00:01:47.129 --> 00:01:49.049 funny. So they tried the one thing. They then 00:01:49.049 --> 00:01:51.359 did the whole like just, send it off to chat 00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.079 GPT. They apparently were announcing features 00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:56.439 on stage that were just like not communicated 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.840 internally. Something that was more like a concept 00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:02.000 became marketing materials. And they were like, 00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:04.060 yeah, we're, you know, it's not quite ready yet, 00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.099 but it'll be out in a couple months. It's been, 00:02:06.140 --> 00:02:10.919 it's been several of those months and it's really 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.060 just been nothing. But hey, you can, you can 00:02:13.060 --> 00:02:18.330 have them generate a custom emoji. or an image, 00:02:18.409 --> 00:02:21.830 sort of, with like the worst of all of the image 00:02:21.830 --> 00:02:25.569 generators. And, oh great, you can have it rewrite 00:02:25.569 --> 00:02:30.330 some text. Truly the next level of personal assistant. 00:02:30.569 --> 00:02:32.189 Anyway, we're now fast approaching the actually 00:02:32.189 --> 00:02:34.710 hysterical concept that the iPhone 17 might come 00:02:34.710 --> 00:02:36.949 out before the 16 gets the features that they 00:02:36.949 --> 00:02:42.000 said it would have. So policy. OK, egg on my 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:44.419 face. Last time I said that the bill, the big, 00:02:44.419 --> 00:02:47.280 beautiful tax bill was unlikely to pass. Is it 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.759 going to pass? Probably not. It passed. It passed 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:52.360 the House. It's now going on to the Senate, where 00:02:52.360 --> 00:02:55.400 I will give exactly no insight into what I think 00:02:55.400 --> 00:02:57.520 is going to happen to the bill. Can't get me 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:00.300 on that one, losers. But anyway, here comes the 00:03:00.300 --> 00:03:02.639 insight I said I wouldn't give. It's probably 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.199 still going to have a hard time in the Senate. 00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:07.139 The Senate has a lot to lose on this one. Going 00:03:07.139 --> 00:03:09.560 into 2026, they want to not piss everybody off. 00:03:09.659 --> 00:03:11.800 And this bill has a lot of things. They're going 00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:14.060 to piss a lot of people off and only a few crowd 00:03:14.060 --> 00:03:16.060 pleasers. So they're going to work real hard 00:03:16.060 --> 00:03:18.939 to make sure that it's going to be passable without 00:03:19.449 --> 00:03:21.909 ruining their midterm chances. That said, still 00:03:21.909 --> 00:03:24.069 could very well pass, but just because it passed 00:03:24.069 --> 00:03:26.110 the House does not make it the law of the land, 00:03:26.250 --> 00:03:29.490 so it passed does not mean it actually is now 00:03:29.490 --> 00:03:32.689 law. And here's something of note. Let's highlight 00:03:32.689 --> 00:03:35.889 this. It passed the House with a vote of 215 00:03:35.889 --> 00:03:40.349 to 214, a margin of one vote. Three Democrat 00:03:40.349 --> 00:03:44.210 representatives over the age of 70 have died 00:03:44.210 --> 00:03:47.629 in office, leaving voting vacancies that allowed 00:03:47.629 --> 00:03:50.780 that to happen. Now, If they were alive, would 00:03:50.780 --> 00:03:52.860 this have potentially eventually passed? Yes. 00:03:52.960 --> 00:03:55.479 But the vote that it actually passed on was made 00:03:55.479 --> 00:03:59.319 possible because Democrats don't step down and 00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:02.509 just. Age until they die in office. Cool, cool, 00:04:02.530 --> 00:04:05.050 cool. Very cool. Very cool. Anyway, after it 00:04:05.050 --> 00:04:07.030 passed the House, the bond market went tumbling 00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:09.830 because it's a bad bill and solar company stocks 00:04:09.830 --> 00:04:12.770 just plummeted because the bill targets renewable 00:04:12.770 --> 00:04:15.389 energy pretty severely. In fact, that was one 00:04:15.389 --> 00:04:16.829 of the main things the Republicans were cheering 00:04:16.829 --> 00:04:19.569 on was the removal of any investment, really 00:04:19.569 --> 00:04:22.129 the stopping of investment in renewable energy 00:04:22.129 --> 00:04:24.629 and the increase in investment back in coal and 00:04:24.629 --> 00:04:27.769 fossil fuels because it's 2025. And that makes 00:04:27.769 --> 00:04:32.579 sense. All right. Signal. Okay. So several high 00:04:32.579 --> 00:04:34.259 -ranking government officials were caught using 00:04:34.259 --> 00:04:38.079 Signal to talk about very private stuff that 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:41.259 they shouldn't be using Signal for. And now we're 00:04:41.259 --> 00:04:42.959 getting a headline that Signal was hacked and 00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.480 a bunch of data was stolen. Let's clear up some 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.660 stuff. The app that most people in the government 00:04:47.660 --> 00:04:49.399 use, and some are actually just literally using 00:04:49.399 --> 00:04:51.240 Signal, but the app that most people in the government 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:53.920 are using is actually called TeleMessage Signal, 00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:57.740 which is a recreation of Signal that also archives 00:04:57.740 --> 00:05:00.449 all of your messages. They do that for compliance 00:05:00.449 --> 00:05:02.389 reasons. The government has to keep records of 00:05:02.389 --> 00:05:04.209 stuff, which is why it's actually really, really 00:05:04.209 --> 00:05:06.910 bad if they use normal signal, which explicitly 00:05:06.910 --> 00:05:10.129 does not keep records for government activity. 00:05:10.449 --> 00:05:12.709 So telemessage is the thing that was hacked, 00:05:12.829 --> 00:05:15.850 not signal. Their records that they keep were 00:05:15.850 --> 00:05:17.689 leaked. Journalists have been going through the 00:05:17.689 --> 00:05:19.370 leaked data, trying to find anything that would 00:05:19.370 --> 00:05:22.620 be. of significant note. And so far, it seems 00:05:22.620 --> 00:05:25.040 like there's not like war plans in there, but 00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:27.899 there are things like the locations and travel 00:05:27.899 --> 00:05:30.560 plans of high ranking officials. So this service 00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.180 that's supposed to archive sensitive conversations 00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:35.160 between government officials was just straight 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.120 up hacked. And that's just that's just a thing. 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.259 That's just a thing. Anyway, this is not a reflection 00:05:39.259 --> 00:05:41.480 on signal and signal security. This is, again, 00:05:41.620 --> 00:05:44.740 a recreation of signal that explicitly undermines 00:05:44.740 --> 00:05:47.720 signal security. All right, I'm going to I can't 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:52.449 I can't not do it. Maha! Yeah, Maha. M -A -H 00:05:52.449 --> 00:05:57.290 -A. It's the health skeptic version of MAGA that's 00:05:57.290 --> 00:06:00.649 kind of like led by RFK Jr. So RFK Jr., a conspiracy 00:06:00.649 --> 00:06:02.670 theorist and anti -vaxxer, is like the head of 00:06:02.670 --> 00:06:06.350 health in the U .S. now, which it tracks. And 00:06:06.350 --> 00:06:08.230 among the MAGA crowd, there's been like a sub 00:06:08.230 --> 00:06:11.699 -initiative of MAGA called Maha. which is like 00:06:11.699 --> 00:06:15.699 the crunchy anti -vax sort of like subsect. RFK 00:06:15.699 --> 00:06:18.680 recently put out the Maha report, which is just 00:06:18.680 --> 00:06:21.600 sort of like, you know, his take on why things 00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:24.680 are bad, like why Americans are unhealthy. You 00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.120 know, let's not, let's ignore the whole like 00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.699 lack of time off and no social safety net and 00:06:29.699 --> 00:06:31.540 the inability to raise children or have any kind 00:06:31.540 --> 00:06:33.800 of childcare for anyone and the lack of access 00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.120 to quality fresh food. It's probably not bad. 00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:39.569 It's um... What could it be? The vaccines. It's 00:06:39.569 --> 00:06:43.910 the vaccines, everyone. Oh, how didn't we notice 00:06:43.910 --> 00:06:46.389 it before? Yeah, the report basically says all 00:06:46.389 --> 00:06:48.069 the things you would expect it to say. It's like, 00:06:48.089 --> 00:06:50.110 oh, vaccines are bad. Food additives are bad. 00:06:50.269 --> 00:06:53.589 Processed food is bad. Phone usage is bad. And 00:06:53.589 --> 00:06:57.689 it originally was going to say that pesticides 00:06:57.689 --> 00:07:00.449 are bad, but that was edited out by the White 00:07:00.449 --> 00:07:02.829 House. Monsanto was a reference in the report, 00:07:02.949 --> 00:07:07.129 but they were like, ah, pesticides? No, we don't 00:07:07.129 --> 00:07:08.990 need to investigate that. So the report does 00:07:08.990 --> 00:07:12.389 call to look into some of these pesticides in 00:07:12.389 --> 00:07:14.889 2026, but it doesn't go as far as to say these 00:07:14.889 --> 00:07:16.730 are bad. They also removed a part of the report 00:07:16.730 --> 00:07:19.129 that talked about lobbyists who lobby the government 00:07:19.129 --> 00:07:21.610 for these chemical companies to prevent the government 00:07:21.610 --> 00:07:24.170 from regulating these cancer -causing chemicals. 00:07:24.529 --> 00:07:26.870 They removed that part from the report too. But 00:07:26.870 --> 00:07:28.949 it's probably the vaccines. Hello, if you like 00:07:28.949 --> 00:07:30.970 what I do, I would really appreciate your support. 00:07:31.129 --> 00:07:33.889 Sharing this content around helps me a ton.

Let's move on. World stuff. 00:07:52.750 --> 00:07:55.269 World stuff. Israel is still doing their thing. 00:07:56.040 --> 00:07:58.620 And Netanyahu is still talking about taking over 00:07:58.620 --> 00:08:01.540 the rest of Gaza now. He's very loudly saying 00:08:01.540 --> 00:08:03.579 that they're going to take over Gaza. They're 00:08:03.579 --> 00:08:05.560 going to get rid of everyone that's there. They've 00:08:05.560 --> 00:08:07.339 been blockading food and medicine. They've been 00:08:07.339 --> 00:08:09.779 letting it at a trickle in. They're literally 00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:12.079 quoted in saying that they don't want to have. 00:08:12.480 --> 00:08:14.759 pictures of starving babies coming out of Gaza 00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:16.800 because that would be bad for international relations, 00:08:16.980 --> 00:08:19.139 not because it would be immoral. And so world 00:08:19.139 --> 00:08:21.939 leaders from Canada and the UK and France, they're 00:08:21.939 --> 00:08:24.540 saying, hey, what the fuck? Like, this is not 00:08:24.540 --> 00:08:27.160 okay. You are straight up doing genocide. To 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:28.939 which Netanyahu was like, you're on the wrong 00:08:28.939 --> 00:08:32.779 side of history. You're empowering Hamas. Ignore 00:08:32.779 --> 00:08:34.779 everything that we're doing. and let us keep 00:08:34.779 --> 00:08:37.159 doing it. On top of that, a delegation of European, 00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:40.039 Asian, and Arab diplomats were visiting the West 00:08:40.039 --> 00:08:42.539 Bank to get a sense of what's going on there, 00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:45.200 what with all the killing people that the Israeli 00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:47.080 army is doing. And wouldn't you know it, while 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:49.639 they were there, the Israeli army shot at them. 00:08:50.279 --> 00:08:53.279 They shot at international diplomats. What blows 00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:55.759 my mind is in any other timeline, this would 00:08:55.759 --> 00:08:58.799 be like a year -long story. This would be the 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:01.539 biggest thing of the year. But this is just like 00:09:01.539 --> 00:09:04.340 Tuesday instead. When asked, what the fuck? Why 00:09:04.340 --> 00:09:06.059 are you shooting at these diplomats? Israel was 00:09:06.059 --> 00:09:08.460 like, oh, those were warning shots because the 00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:11.179 diplomats went off the predetermined course that 00:09:11.179 --> 00:09:13.240 we would allow them to walk. Just firing some 00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.779 warning shots at these international representatives 00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:18.159 who are investigating whether or not we're, you 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:20.340 know, doing war crimes to people. I also want 00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:22.399 to acknowledge that there were two Israeli staffers 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:25.620 who were murdered in D .C. I don't know what 00:09:25.620 --> 00:09:27.700 to say about this. I don't really feel anything 00:09:27.700 --> 00:09:30.840 about it. I think it. It makes sense that something 00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.059 like this would happen. And these people were 00:09:33.059 --> 00:09:35.799 directly involved in a genocidal regime. They 00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:38.639 weren't just like, they weren't innocent bystanders. 00:09:38.659 --> 00:09:41.159 The main thing that gets me about all of this 00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:44.799 is, one, it wasn't a great move. Like right now, 00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:47.039 we are under the most propaganda we've seen in 00:09:47.039 --> 00:09:51.440 decades. And this is just so much gasoline on 00:09:51.440 --> 00:09:54.299 the fire. But two, a lot of outlets are spinning 00:09:54.299 --> 00:09:57.059 this as an attack. on them because they were 00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:59.779 Jewish, aside from only one of them actually 00:09:59.779 --> 00:10:04.340 being Jewish and ignoring the whole Zionist being 00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:07.139 a part of the whole Israeli government genociding 00:10:07.139 --> 00:10:09.220 a people thing. The guy didn't kill them and 00:10:09.220 --> 00:10:11.980 then say, I hate Jews. He killed them and shouted 00:10:11.980 --> 00:10:14.840 free Palestine. And whether or not he was a Fed 00:10:14.840 --> 00:10:17.820 or whatever, it was not because they were Jewish. 00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:21.960 Conflating Jews. And Israel is very dangerous, 00:10:22.179 --> 00:10:25.480 especially because not all Jews are Zionists 00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:28.000 and not all Jews support Israel. To lump them 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:30.919 all together as one is doing a massive disservice, 00:10:30.940 --> 00:10:34.220 and that in itself is anti -Semitic. Anyway, 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:37.240 on a completely different note, Kim Jong -un 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.960 is upset. Because his ship didn't work. Kim Jong 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:43.279 -un of North Korea has been working to try to 00:10:43.279 --> 00:10:45.940 upgrade their navy. You know, they're playing 00:10:45.940 --> 00:10:47.720 civilization, and they're like, oh shit, we gotta 00:10:47.720 --> 00:10:50.679 get some destroyers out here. So he had this 00:10:50.679 --> 00:10:53.379 big, beautiful warship that they built, and they 00:10:53.379 --> 00:10:55.019 were gonna launch it, and he was there for the 00:10:55.019 --> 00:10:57.980 launch. And when it launched, it capsized and 00:10:57.980 --> 00:11:00.580 crashed. It is apparently still partially submerged. 00:11:00.940 --> 00:11:03.460 He wasn't thrilled about this. It didn't reflect 00:11:03.460 --> 00:11:06.220 great. on him and his plans and so he lashed 00:11:06.220 --> 00:11:08.120 out a little bit let's see let's get this quote 00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.220 it's a good one all right kimbo said that the 00:11:10.220 --> 00:11:12.840 officials who were involved in the launch showed 00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:16.720 quote absolute carelessness irresponsibility 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:20.360 and unscientific empiricism he went on to say 00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:23.690 and this is true I cannot suppress my emotions. 00:11:24.029 --> 00:11:26.149 We love an emotional king. Anyway, he arrested 00:11:26.149 --> 00:11:29.210 those officials because it's North Korea or America. 00:11:29.769 --> 00:11:32.750 Could have been either. Technology. Private messaging 00:11:32.750 --> 00:11:35.029 app Telegram is not actually all that private. 00:11:35.070 --> 00:11:37.149 And so far this year, they've already turned 00:11:37.149 --> 00:11:40.509 over over 20 ,000 user records to authorities. 00:11:40.730 --> 00:11:43.409 So last year, the CEO of Telegram got arrested 00:11:43.409 --> 00:11:46.190 in part of an investigation about child exploitation 00:11:46.190 --> 00:11:49.490 material on Telegram. And ever since then. they've 00:11:49.490 --> 00:11:52.590 been a bit more cordial with the police. Now, 00:11:52.629 --> 00:11:55.470 I want to say most social platforms have a pretty 00:11:55.470 --> 00:11:59.210 significant issue with really bad shit festering 00:11:59.210 --> 00:12:01.629 somewhere on their platform. Telegram is not 00:12:01.629 --> 00:12:03.710 unique in that. The platforms just kind of have 00:12:03.710 --> 00:12:06.129 like varying degrees of keeping it under wraps. 00:12:06.250 --> 00:12:09.169 But in Telegram's case, they were flaunting that 00:12:09.169 --> 00:12:12.169 they were not giving a shit if authorities wanted 00:12:12.169 --> 00:12:16.149 any information. But then turns out when you 00:12:16.149 --> 00:12:18.230 get arrested and you're reminded of your mortality, 00:12:18.970 --> 00:12:21.370 Even if you're a tech bro, sometimes you just 00:12:21.370 --> 00:12:23.289 roll over and show your belly. And so now they 00:12:23.289 --> 00:12:25.610 are routinely working with requests from cops 00:12:25.610 --> 00:12:27.990 to get information about users. There's a pretty 00:12:27.990 --> 00:12:29.809 interesting website. I've linked it in today's 00:12:29.809 --> 00:12:31.929 newsletter that will show you a breakdown of 00:12:31.929 --> 00:12:35.190 requests from authorities by nation and how many 00:12:35.190 --> 00:12:37.970 users were affected by those requests. Google 00:12:37.970 --> 00:12:40.690 Video, but not like that. Do you remember Google 00:12:40.690 --> 00:12:42.370 Video? Do you remember that? It was like pre 00:12:42.370 --> 00:12:45.250 -YouTube and it was like Google's YouTube competitor 00:12:45.250 --> 00:12:47.049 before they just bought YouTube. It was actually 00:12:47.049 --> 00:12:48.659 kind of nice, but that's not what... this is 00:12:48.659 --> 00:12:51.600 google recently had their io event which is like 00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.460 their developer convention where they make a 00:12:53.460 --> 00:12:55.379 bunch of big announcements and a lot of their 00:12:55.379 --> 00:12:57.259 announcements or basically all of their announcements 00:12:57.259 --> 00:13:02.440 this time was ai ai ai everything ai pants among 00:13:02.440 --> 00:13:04.940 the ai stuff they announced was a video generator 00:13:04.940 --> 00:13:09.960 ai called vo3 and um it definitely is creepy 00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:12.100 it can generate pretty realistic looking clips 00:13:12.100 --> 00:13:15.500 with dialogue and like sound and shit it's it's 00:13:15.500 --> 00:13:19.639 impressive I guess, but it also seems to just 00:13:19.639 --> 00:13:21.679 generate a lot of slop. I've seen people saying 00:13:21.679 --> 00:13:23.240 like, oh my God, this is the end of reality. 00:13:23.500 --> 00:13:26.100 This looks so real. And I get why people are 00:13:26.100 --> 00:13:27.860 concerned. And I get the direction we're going 00:13:27.860 --> 00:13:31.580 is this is making massive leaps. It still looks 00:13:31.580 --> 00:13:33.980 like AI to me, but it's also just like, why? 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:36.919 Like, why? Why do we have this? Do we really 00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.179 need the ability to generate like five second 00:13:39.179 --> 00:13:41.659 clips of like a pink dinosaur stomping around 00:13:41.659 --> 00:13:45.090 town? Is humanity better off? with the ability 00:13:45.090 --> 00:13:47.909 to just generate stock imagery and stuff? Or 00:13:47.909 --> 00:13:51.649 why? Because all of this really, really feels 00:13:51.649 --> 00:13:55.090 like tech demos and concepts that were being 00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:58.730 sold as full products. And I'm very tired of 00:13:58.730 --> 00:14:00.909 being told that we need these things, especially 00:14:00.909 --> 00:14:03.470 when they also announced that the top tier subscription 00:14:03.470 --> 00:14:09.049 for their AI is $250 a month. No, I don't think 00:14:09.049 --> 00:14:12.070 I will. And speaking of AI, they are still trying 00:14:12.070 --> 00:14:15.480 to build. You might remember a while back, OpenAI 00:14:15.480 --> 00:14:19.000 had new voices for ChatGPT, one of which sounded 00:14:19.000 --> 00:14:22.299 suspiciously like Scarlett Johansson from the 00:14:22.299 --> 00:14:24.860 movie Her. I want to be very clear, Sam Altman 00:14:24.860 --> 00:14:28.100 has also made it clear that he's a big fan of 00:14:28.100 --> 00:14:30.919 that movie. And now OpenAI purchased a startup 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.600 by Johnny Ive, the guy who designed a lot of 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:35.919 earlier Apple products. They bought a startup 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:38.639 of his that's working on like AI hardware for 00:14:38.639 --> 00:14:42.299 $6 .5 billion. The announcement video was deeply... 00:14:42.590 --> 00:14:44.490 creepy it's like the two of them being like oh 00:14:44.490 --> 00:14:47.330 we're best friends let's just like have an announcement 00:14:47.330 --> 00:14:49.029 about this acquisition where we're sitting at 00:14:49.029 --> 00:14:51.090 a coffee shop talking about how great each other 00:14:51.090 --> 00:14:53.710 is uh it's genuinely genuinely unnerving but 00:14:53.710 --> 00:14:55.490 they seem to be working on a new product that 00:14:55.490 --> 00:14:58.509 is essentially like the ai pin kind of thing 00:14:58.509 --> 00:15:02.169 or that rabbit r1 those ai hardware things that 00:15:02.169 --> 00:15:05.870 just failed it is i don't know specifics but 00:15:05.870 --> 00:15:09.029 it's apparently some kind of like box with no 00:15:09.029 --> 00:15:11.820 screen And it's like always listening. And it's 00:15:11.820 --> 00:15:14.379 an AI assistant thing. I don't know. Sam Altman 00:15:14.379 --> 00:15:16.200 was like, living with this has been life changing. 00:15:16.379 --> 00:15:18.460 You're going to love it. And I'm pretty sure 00:15:18.460 --> 00:15:22.580 that's not true for anyone. except for Sam Altman. 00:15:22.679 --> 00:15:25.399 Lightning round. There's a new ultra rapid test 00:15:25.399 --> 00:15:27.899 for brain tumors that's looking to reduce the 00:15:27.899 --> 00:15:30.419 time to diagnosis by like an order of magnitude, 00:15:30.580 --> 00:15:33.840 talking weeks to days. Sesame Street is saved. 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:36.639 Netflix is jumping in and cut a deal with Sesame 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:39.299 Street. It will be available on PBS and around 00:15:39.299 --> 00:15:41.519 the world on Netflix as well. There is a competition 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.980 called the Enhanced Games. It's planned for 2026 00:15:44.980 --> 00:15:47.799 in Vegas, and it's like the Olympics, but you 00:15:47.799 --> 00:15:50.259 can explicitly take performance -enhancing drugs. 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.080 A cargo ship ran aground into the garden of a 00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:57.379 random Norwegian man's home. He woke up and found 00:15:57.379 --> 00:16:01.139 a cargo ship in his lawn. Hey, Kentucky. I'm 00:16:01.139 --> 00:16:03.759 very sorry to inform you that the Bourbon Brood 00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.539 of Cicadas, a 17 -year brood, is due this year. 00:16:07.740 --> 00:16:11.120 It's gonna get loud. A USPS truck that was found 00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:15.700 with 5 ,000 abandoned chicks. The birds, not 00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:21.039 women. Those birds are now adopted. They've almost 00:16:21.039 --> 00:16:24.000 all found a home now. But Gawk? Marvel has announced 00:16:24.000 --> 00:16:26.759 a delay for the next two Avengers films, Doomsday 00:16:26.759 --> 00:16:31.259 and Secret Wars. That's what it was. Turns out 00:16:31.259 --> 00:16:33.980 that there was footage from the mothership of 00:16:33.980 --> 00:16:36.299 the Titan submersible, the submersible that went 00:16:36.299 --> 00:16:39.340 down to the Titanic and got blipped. So there 00:16:39.340 --> 00:16:41.940 was footage from the mothership in which they 00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:44.240 heard the implosion. They didn't know it at the 00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.740 time, but there was just kind of like a boop. 00:16:47.139 --> 00:16:50.600 Gone. And finally for today, an Australian politician 00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:53.600 in his exit speech from his political career 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:57.879 shotgunned a beer out of a shoe. Fuck yeah. I 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:00.960 know nothing about your politics. That's rad. 00:17:01.080 --> 00:17:03.019 Thank you so much for listening to today's episode 00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:05.779 of Stuff Keeps Happening. Head to skh .news for 00:17:05.779 --> 00:17:11.180 sources, bonus content, and a shoe that comes 00:17:11.180 --> 00:17:14.400 pre -stocked with beer. My name is Endeavorance. 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.319 I'll be back on Monday. Take care and be well.
