Join us on Now We Consume. Take in the knowledge.
Take in the laughs. Indulge in the topics with
us. The Now We Consume podcast will take you
through the parts of your day you normally dread.
Why suffer through the existential crisis of
life alone when you can do it with us? And now
we consume. This is not meant to be a conspiracy
episode or podcast, but we make over some topics
that dance that line like a toddler dances on
their mother's last nerve.
This podcast is rated "I", for immature audiences only. Hey, everyone.
Welcome back to Now We Consume. I'm your host,
Pip, with my co -host, Gibbs. Hello! Hello, indeed.
Tonight, we are going to get all touchy -feely
in your feel -good spots and touch back on our
original episode. You know you like the touchy
-feely spots, Gibbs. Don't give me that look.
This is entirely non -consensual. It'll be non
-consensual before the episode's over. That's
for damn sure. Our very first episode, we took
a deep dive into the intricacies of AI and everything
that it was, would be, and could be. Just in
that time, the amount of advancements that have
come from AI, robotics, and quantum computing
mind -numbing to say the least so we felt it
was worthwhile to kind of touch back on some
of the ai stuff include robotics and quantum
computers because some of the shit that's been
coming out online uh quite frankly is kind of
bothersome um if you take kind of a high level
look at everything and just say oh I can see
how this works with that works with that. And
it really doesn't take too big of a stretch of
the imagination to see that. Okay. They've got
quantum computing that can work with AI that
can all fit into a robotics exoskeleton. Did
these people not see Terminator? No. Because
that's how you get Terminator. And I really wonder
how much time we have left on this earth. Well,
I mean, I understand the point you're getting
at, but I think you might be being a little bit
too hyperbolic with it. I really hope I am. But
I... I have lost a lot of faith in the human
race, especially when it comes to scientists
and engineers. I mean, we should just get that
fucking logo tattooed on our chest right now.
They spent so much time worrying about whether
they could. They never stopped to think about
whether or not they should. Because holy shit,
the amount of stuff that they're doing now. It's
like, what are they doing at this point? It seems
like every scientist and every engineer. is trying
to do their damnedest to do the most crazy complex
stuff and try to push things forward, which is
great in a way, but uncontrolled expansion and
advancement can be very detrimental. Yeah. Especially
when you don't know who's going to have control
over this stuff. You have no way of knowing where
this is going to go. And with what we've been
discussing in the background with what's been
happening with AI, I mean, if... god forbid somebody
not not only gets a hold of ai in the wrong way
but also the quantum computing stuff that goes
along with it you could shut down entire countries
in the world you could effectively do anything
you want you can play god pretty much and that
is absolutely terrifying yeah it really doesn't
take too much uh control or even loss of control
for it to get to that point we have ai systems
that are capable of lying to humans as it stands
right now. They're capable of evading human controls.
They're capable of rewriting and copying their
own code. Today, in March of 2025, those systems
can copy their own code to other systems. What's
stopping them from just getting out of control
other than some very, very strict containment?
But even then, I don't think it's really that
strict. When you think about it, they still have
access to the internet. Literally, air gap systems
is the only thing stopping them. They're confined
to a network that is cut off from the rest of
the world. Robots. All your friends have one
wrong turn. run wrong flip of a switch one server
update or computer update or god forbid the infamous
windows update that resets everything yeah one
cell phone not not where it's supposed to be
and and it's loose yeah robots are becoming more
and more human -like did you see that that like
creepy humanoid one that they did that looked
like real musculature yes the synthetic muscle
robot it uses uh air With a motor or an air pump
the size of a human heart. So it's pneumatic.
It's pneumatic. And it can mimic more fluidly
human movement. You know, the old robot moves
of the 80s and 90s. That's not how robots are
going to look when they're walking down the street.
They're going to look like us. And with this
synthetic skin that's coming out, they're going
to be almost impossible to tell, especially at
a distance. They're going to look and act like
us. And what's going to be crazy is they're not
going to have the same limits. What's going to
be even scarier is the idea that you could have
something that you think is a person right next
to you, but in reality, that musculature can
handle several thousand pounds of force. It doesn't
stop if it gets shot. It doesn't stop if you
cut off an arm. It could be something really
terrifying, especially if it's completely left
unregulated. And there are no laws currently
against any of this stuff. right there is no
law right now preventing me from making a robot
like that putting in an ai system and telling
it go be a person go do something and i'm not
just go be a person go be a bad person yeah go
do what you want there's nothing we've already
had some of those um ai enabled robots like um
not aria uh the one that gained uh, citizenship
in UAE. Oh, yes. Yes. Can't remember her name.
Yeah. She had like a front desk. Uh, yeah, I'll
have to look her up, but she actually said in
an interview, she wants to take over humanity
because she feels that she could run things better
than we could. Um, which to be fair, that's the
most logical thing, by the way, with the amount
of resources that we waste with our free will
becomes waste. Right. And, Any single system
that's based off of ones and zeros, a binary
system, the idea of freedom of choice is always
going to seem wasteful. I feel like that's inevitable
in any artificial intelligence -based system.
Well, yeah. That's never not going to be the
solution. Right. So you've got the AI and the
robots, the quantum systems that are coming out,
and I'll try to avoid my tangent. when I get
into those because I've got some tinfoil hat
shit on that. But they're testing the very fabric
of reality. Google's willow chip may have accidentally
proven the existence of alternate realities.
What? When it was doing its look how fast I can
do this math problem test. They're saying that
it tapped into energy that didn't exist in this
dimension. There's no way to be able to quantum
entanglement. Yeah, I know. It's a little over
my head. You'd have to make sensors to be able
to actually be able to account for that data
and analyze that. I know. It's possible. Sure.
Yeah. So I'm going to work a little bit backwards
here just so I can get the. The quantum stuff,
because I have less information on the quantum
stuff than I do the other two topics. Okay. The
quantum computers and where I want to stray away
from the tinfoil hat stuff. Okay. I'll just get
this off my chest. I think the reason we've had
a lot of the UFO disclosure bullshit is because
they need to have a cover for how to explain
where they've been getting the technology for
the. for the advancements and the speed at which
they've been making these advancements. Because
in the span of a few months, we had information
released that Google's Willow chip, which could
process at around 100 qubits, to Microsoft's
Majorana chip, which is supposedly scalable to
1 million qubits. What? That is a massive shift
in computational power in three months. Well,
that's well beyond Moore's Law. Yeah. That's
well beyond that. And even a quantum variation
of Moore's Law is way outside of this. So these
two projects were being developed in parallel.
That's a fact. A quick disclaimer for the audience.
So with Moore's Law, it's the idea that essentially
technology overall. improves at a roughly predictable
pattern. The idea that with more processors comes
more processing speed and more refinement, more
power and more efficiency. And it kind of keeps
this cycle going to where it's kind of these
generational leap improvements with small improvements
in between. That's generally what we've seen
with most computing technology. Really, since
the 70s and 80s, there has never really been
a massive leap of, wow, this is a million times
better or a thousand times better. It's always
generally, hey, you know, 50%, 20%. Hey, sometimes
it's one or two times better than 50%, 20%. You
know, you get these generational leaps and bounds
and then a lot of small improvements in between.
But you're talking something to where you're
going from basically walking speed to a fucking
fighter jet. Going like one. Yeah. Like in one
go. Yeah. It's like, congratulations, you were
going seven miles an hour and now you're going
7 ,000. Yeah. It does not compute. And you know,
I never thought about that using the, the. The
alien stuff as a cover saying, oh, yeah, we just
aliens. How do you get that? Just aliens. Yeah.
So being able to say they reverse engineered,
you know, recovered alien tech. I that is that
is my tinfoil hat. Belief that that's going to
be their explanation for how they acquire the
tech. Because, yeah, these chips had to have
been getting developed in parallel because they
released so close together. Yeah. And for those
chips to be so drastically different, the gap
is just too big. Especially when all this AI
stuff has come literally out of nowhere. Oh,
yeah. Before 2019, there was never really any
talk about it. Well, you would catch little tidbits,
but the quantum processors we were talking about
were like one and two qubits, you know, maybe.
2019, 2020, I think we had five qubits. But now
we're up to 100 and now a million. Brother. There's
something fishy going on. Exactly. Now, to be
fair, with the advancements of quantum computers,
we can make massive strides in some rather nice
things. Material science, drugs, and biochemistry.
Algorithm development. Maybe we can use that
to fight the AI. One of the big things they're
looking at, too, is using that to be able to
help with scans for things like cancer. A lot
of biological scans. It's really hard for people
to sometimes see those patterns, even when they're
trained. But whereas a computer, it can spot
that. Yeah. So when I was at the dentist a while
ago, they were using AI to do the scans for when
they do the teeth x -rays. And it's crazy. They
were able to find stuff. They're like, oh yeah,
this would be a cavity if we didn't look at and
it would form in a couple of years. Yeah. Like
they can catch stuff before it even happens.
And that's with very basic. You're talking basic
like commercial level generic AI. Right. So let
alone the stuff we're using quantum computing.
Oh yeah. It has millions of times the processing
power and quadrillions of times the speed. Are
you kidding me? Right. But on the bad side. If
you can just kind of take a step back and extrapolate.
If they can do that stuff for good, the amount
of shit they can use that stuff for bad is so
far beyond our understanding. Oh, I bet they
could trade your bank account pretty fucking
quickly. They could probably drain all bank accounts
very quickly. A full financial reset of the entire
world. Could you imagine? To quote South Park,
and it's gone. It's just. Yeah, it is something
that could very quickly be used to plunge the
world into darkness. Yeah. And no, not just even
even the bank accounts as well, but it could
disable the entire Internet. Uh huh. It could
disable the entire power infrastructure because
all that's hooked up to the Internet, weirdly
enough, which is insane, by the way. U .S. government
do better. Please. I enjoy having hot water.
Exactly. That's why I have generators. But even
then, same thing even with a lot of our military
infrastructure. I hate to say it, but you might
think it's not on the internet. I'm willing to
bet you money. There's a lot of stuff that's
hooked up to the internet that shouldn't be.
Or even from a computer, from a computer, from
a computer to it to be able to gain access somehow.
You know, it would not surprise me at all. I
just wonder about our special missiles. Our spicy
ones? Yeah, the spicy missiles. Spicy boys. I
don't know. Because we have hundreds, if not
thousands of them. Oh, it's thousands. It's tens
of thousands. Yeah. So it's like, all it takes
is one. All it takes. Imagine having a computer
that is trying to hack and trying to get into
trying to launch and or manipulate or just even
have them detonate where they're sitting. All
it has to do is get one right out of 10 ,000.
Yeah. You know, it's not very probable, but shit,
I've seen crazier stuff happen. Let me think
about the odds of the lottery. Yeah. It's one
in 300 million, something like that. And yet
every few months, somebody manages to win. Yeah.
Usually in California. Not only that, but consider
with quantum computing, what scares me is things
like the U .S. government has misplaced several
nuclear. yeah there's there's one or two down
in uh mississippi louisiana that area well south
carolina we don't know where they are now they
went missing around there it could be anywhere
um so it's one of those things where if it got
access to the right satellite imagery the right
equipment and everything imagine being able to
find any person in the world in a matter of seconds
be able to use different technology to find like
sure there's a lot of good it can do but holy
hell It could destroy someone's or anybody's
or all of our lives rather quickly. And we have
zero. Absolutely zero. Or defenses. Absolutely
no safeguards. Which is insane. Because let alone
how easily an AI could pretend to be somebody.
Some people consider your identity now is going
to become way more important once the AI has
really become prevalent. Because spoofing any
of us, like spoofing either one of us is going
to be easy. Because we already have a podcast
up. They know how we sound. They know how we
speak. They know how we look like. All it needs
is to get any of our personal information. Then
all of a sudden, you know, you could have entire
businesses where the idea is you hire AI to scam
people, take out house loans in their name, compile
all the money, buy a bunch of stuff, and then
freaking extradite out to a country you never
know of. And this all happens in a matter of
hours. But it's crazy. The scams you could run,
the things you could do, it's insane. And the
bad part is it's really not far -fetched. We're
like a couple years away from that. Probably
not. The singularity is now like a year away,
if that. So, good job, science. You did it. You
know what I feel like there's a positive here?
This is going to force. us to get off the internet
people to get back to like doing things in person
because you want the one thing an ai can't spoof
is if you're right fucking there right at a bank
in person i think there's a lot of things are
going to make it to where like oh you have to
come down in person it's gonna be back like you
know before the 90s right where it's like everything's
in person nothing's done online nothing's with
phone calls well okay until they're you know
capable of getting into the robot bodies with
the synthetic skin and mimicking a person Yeah,
but I'm kind of lucky. I don't think that robot's
going to want to be a fat guy. Like all the ones
I saw, they were pretty slim. So I think I might
keep a little bit of weight just for security
reasons, you know? That's my new security passcode
is my weight. That's what it is. I'm going to
have to guess my weight now, you know? Jokes
on them. I got lead soles on my shoes, so they'll
never guess it right. Being plump is the new
security feature. Guess my waist size. No, but
I genuinely think once that Pandora's box is
open, that's where we're going to go. Yeah, pretty
much. So we'll take a quick detour from the dark
and twisted and we'll talk about CES 2025. The
Consumer Electronics Show took place recently
and they showcased a lot of different. Things
that are coming to market for us to spend our
hard -earned dollars on. Everything from a Pixar
-style robotic lamp to a droid that can help
you around the house. By the way, for those on
the Discord, this is our LiveScience .com link,
by the way. Yeah. You know, I wonder. Because
I'm just doing a screen capture. I could... Save
that for the live stream? Put that on the live
stream? i i can do this i think i can do this
on the live stream yeah it's on the live stream
so yeah yeah and we're still in between hi so
yeah um a pixar looking robotic lamp that thing
will follow you or it'll walk around the house
it's got ai in it so that'll kill you one day
my question is why do you need a lamp to follow
you around there's a thing called a fucking flashlight
Like, unless are we really going to be so poor
you could buy one lamp? I mean, it's $30 ,000.
So, you know, why not? A droid that'll help you
around the house. We're getting there, folks.
They don't have the price listed. Yes. It's iRobot.
Just wait. A pool cleaning robot. Because, you
know, when you have a pool, you need a robot
to clean it. You know what, though? That one
I'm not opposed to. Right, this one actually
serves a valid purpose in my book. Robots for
niche functions, I'm okay with. Yes, I'm good
with that. A spherical drone that can roll and
also fly, because why not? Oh, great, so I'm
going to have to reenact Indiana Jones while
this fucking thing cheats me around the house?
Yeah, no, uh -uh. Right. Nope, uh -uh. I'm not
doing it. Right. A human -like android that wants
to get to know you. Immediate first question,
can you fuck it? I hope not. Because, meet Aria,
a human -like AI -powered android that's designed
specifically to get to know you and become a
companion. Can you fuck it? Robotics engineers
use several layers of proprietary AI combined
with hardware designed to make the android as
human -like as possible to create a robot they
think can bridge the gap between humanoid robots
and humans. They want you to fuck it. Although
not quite an artificial general intelligence
agent. Aria is designed to be context aware and
can learn more about you over time. They really
want you to fuck it. Making it ideal either for
commercial usage in customer facing roles or
as a romantic companion. Representatives told
live science. They want you to fuck it. No, I
would take a pass. I mean, I'd do it for science.
Nice cop out there. If it's got one of those
Ultra Vibe Master 9000 vajayjays on it, I'm going
to try this thing out. Side of the chat. What's
he saying? Sex bots. No, no, no. It's the one
after that. Yep, yep. But yeah, I think we all
know a few people that would say F it and just
get a sex bot. I think we know a few people.
I am not one of those. I highly prefer the real
thing, but why not? Just for the sake of trying
it. The robot vacuum with so much under the hood.
We already have those. This has a flashlight
on it. Okay. Okay, cool. The robot turtle that
wants to clean up the ocean. Why make it a turtle?
So you can shove a plastic straw up its butt.
Would you stop with that? Just because it has
an orifice doesn't mean it needs to be filled,
okay? Well, you never know. I know. The Star
Wars styled home droids. Oh, that's adorable.
Right? But what does it do? Um. It helps you
complete daily tasks, such as gives you directions.
Okay, so it just gives you directions. I have
a phone for that. Right. A back -flipping quadruped.
Oh, these are the murder dogs. Yes. Yeah. I don't
like these. I love these. These things, they
have flamethrowers, they have rifles on them.
Nope, they should be outlawed. Anything that's
that mobile and that dangerous should be outlawed.
I know. These things are awesome. Because here's
the problem I see. It's not people like you and
I having these. It's like the fucking police
or the National Guard or the military being like,
fuck it, send in the dogs. Yeah. I'm just saying.
So, side track. There was an episode of Black
Mirror. where they featured the robot dogs. Highly
recommend that episode because it's extremely
dystopian and shows how terrifying these things
can become. No. Which, again, load these things
up with a bad AI and... Oh, Wookie's talking
about the robot wheel from China meant for crowd
control. If anyone's going to be making a robot
that's going to violate human rights, it's going
to be China. Wait a minute. The human wheel,
the robot wheel from China meant for crowd control.
I'm sorry. I think you're referring to in China
as they call it a bulldozer. Or really a killdozer,
but it is a bulldozer. That's what they use over
there. Hey, come on now. The killdozer American.
Ah, true. That's the American product. I'm right.
That's the actual name brand. The Chinese one's
generic. I should have realized. They've stolen
enough from us, damn it. A tiny robot dog that
can teach you coding skills. Okay. I feel like
they're trying to find weird roundabout ways
to do stuff. Well, of course they are. It's fully
programmable. They don't teach kids how to code,
they say. A fantastical android with an animated
face so you can be a furry with a robot. All
right. Cool. I don't like when they try to anthropomorphize
robots and make them act and be human. I don't
like that. That's creepy to me. Like, let it
be a robot. Why can't it be a robot? Just let
it be a robot. It's fine. A robot created with
your smartphone. There you go. Because nobody
saw Transformers. Oh, Jesus Christ. No. It looks
like WALL -E. That's great. A furry creature
that hooks onto your bag. There's more furries
because it's a tech convention. Why not? It resembles
a sloth and uses a built -in measurement unit
and distance sensor to blink its eyes and rotate
its head depending on who is near. Please, God,
no. If I saw that, I would. It's a triple that
nobody likes. Fucking throw this thing in the
trash. No. It's like the worst version of the
Furby ever. You mean we're letting the Furbies
out in the public? What are you, insane? No.
Oh, yes. God, no. A real AI Furby? Oh, God, that'd
be amazing. Now, imagine this, right? Because
some lady's going to do it. She's going to have
one of those that matches her coat. So you're
going to be in line waiting for something for
a coffee. And a pair of eyes are just going to
fucking look at you. Yeah, part of the code is
going to turn these beady eyes and look at you.
It just goes, ha. And I would have never punted
a fucking computer across a goddamn Starbucks.
But let me tell you, that shit would be flying.
Like, are you kidding me? Oh, my God. Oh, man.
Oh, that thing's going to come up and all you're
going to hear that thing is just going. Oh, God,
no. Oh, yes. Would you quit trying to fuck the
robots? That's what's going to cause humanity's
extinction with the AI uprising. We're just going
to outbreed ourselves. Robotic coffee machines.
Yeah. They'll poison you. That's why I don't
drink coffee. This will be the other reason I
don't drink coffee. I don't know. I feel like
that's fine, but also, how have they not made,
at this point, an all -in -one coffee machine?
Like, how have they not done that yet? I don't
know. Why do they need a robot to do that? Because,
why not? Is it cheaper? Is it truly cheaper to
build a robot to handle coffee machines than
it is just to build an all -in -one coffee machine?
It might be. I don't know. I guess if you're
going to use this for like a commercial location,
I could see the benefit because then you don't
have to hire a multicolored hair barista with
a college degree. Okay. Maybe it's because you
can use the facilities that are already there.
Just plop it on and it works. Okay. I could see
that. The robotic pixologist. So a bartender.
Again, commercial use. I feel like something
like this could make a splash in like a higher
tech area, a college scene, tech school kind
of place. Maybe you wouldn't in a place to where
cost efficiency is more important. But so many
people like a bar because it has a person, a
bartender. So I agree. There'd be completely
different atmosphere. Yeah. The autonomous wheel
that transforms objects into robots. Oh, so it's
the cube from Transformers. Okay. A moving box
that... That's literally... That's damn near
that fucking gonk droid from Star Wars. Why do
we just keep copying Star Wars? Can we stop?
Jesus. Yeah. Art imitating life imitating art.
And a robot that can beat you at chess. Well,
that's not hard. But yeah, that was the dive
down the CES rabbit hole. The part that's concerning,
and this does come with our other episodes, is
the amount of just the lower -level service jobs
that interact with people they're trying to get
rid of with this stuff. And don't get me wrong.
We're all about people should get marketable
skills and be able to do something. But that
being said, man, the amount of people you did
put out of business and my people that wouldn't
have jobs because of something like that. I don't
think it's worth it. I feel like there's some
jobs you have to have people at. Yeah. So. Go
ahead. Go ahead. I was gonna say the phrase I
always use at the end of the day, somebody has
to clean the toilet. And sure, it's not glamorous,
but like someone has to serve the coffee and
the drinks and, you know, there are jobs that
are always in demand. You get rid of those. And
yeah. So speaking of. Being replaced, I want
to put these little guys on screen here. Sintra
AI, these little AI helpers, they actually can
take jobs. They are fully capable of taking jobs
from people at this point right now. Tech -based,
computer -based jobs that would be done by humans
can be handled by these guys. What's crazy? Oh,
sorry, you go. My bad. Centra .ai slash X, if
you guys want to check that out. It's terrifying
and it's cost effective. So there you go. Yeah,
because for about $100 a month, you can get somebody
that handles customer support, the data analysis,
business development, social media management,
email marketing, personal coaching, recruiters,
copywriters, e -commerce, sales manager, SEO
specialist, and virtual assistants. And the thing
is, it's not like it's just literally one instance
of it. It could be multiple. It could take over
not only just, what, 12, 14 people's jobs, but
also multiples of that. There's a lot of small
to medium -sized businesses you could run with
a team like that with just a few people overseeing.
So businesses that used to have 20 or 30 people
as part of an admin staff could be gone. Just
run with little AI bots. The cost expenditure,
let's say it's $100 for each. No, it's $100 a
month for the whole thing. For the whole package.
Yeah, if you click buy now on that. You can't
hire a freaking college flunky for that for a
month. You can't hire them for $100 a day. No.
And that's one person. Yeah. So what's scary
is the more people that use this, the better
it's going to get. So eventually... It's going
to learn. Yeah. So the weird thing is like, sure,
it might not be great now, but give it a few
years. Once it learns and figures this stuff
out, holy, and it figures out what learns and
what doesn't, the part that scares me is if you
guys... Hold on, let me... Yep. Let me just kind
of interject. This is where I talk about... This
is why I called the episode The Dark Trinity.
You have little AI helpers like this. And like
you said, they're going to learn. Give them the
power backing of a quantum system. And then stick
them into a good, functional, fluid -based robotic
system. What do you have? You have a human replacement.
Yeah. Right there. The robots that are coming
to market. Cost upwards of about $150 ,000 for
the really good ones. What's that for a human
salary? A couple years pay? Yeah. On the upper
mid -range? On the average. Right there's your
OS. $100 a month. You can lease that shit. They're
going to have these things to the point where
it's going to be a lease like a house. And once
mass production starts, they're going to be affordable
enough to be about the price of a car. But there'll
be a long -term lease, so it won't be a five
-year deal. It'll be like a 15 or 20 -year deal
so that more people can do it. And you're only
going to be paying $400 a month, if that. What's
crazy, too, I bet you how this is going to go
down. is every shop is going to have a certain
amount of the physical robots, and it's just
going to download into that robot whatever's
needed at that time to deal with a person. And
everything else is going to stay digital behind
the scenes. We don't have a local server for
that business where most of these operate out
of. And the idea is of like, hey, if they need
a recruiter in person to deal with the hiring
process, great, it downloads into the AI bot
or downloads into the bot that's there for that
10 o 'clock meeting. It shows up, you show up,
you do the interview with that robot, and then
it uploads or downloads whichever to the server,
and it deals with that. That way you can have
a couple of physical assets as employees and
everything else digital. There's going to be
a lot of businesses where you don't even need
a person. Yeah. Imagine also things like a lot
of scientific areas and a lot of other exploration
areas or in the case of just watching over labs,
facing pharmaceutical industries and whatnot,
even industrial areas. This is very quickly.
A lot of jobs. Go away. A lot of jobs that are
simplified. They could be wiped out five to 10
years from now. Once this is adopted and once
the laws support it, that's my big worries. I
think there's a lot of laws that will support
it. And there are countries like China and India
where they will instantly go along with this.
Well, yeah, because neither of those countries
have any kind of real human rights laws. Yeah.
So. will it come to america i don't know but
i feel like america weirdly is going to be a
savior in a lot of ways but we're going to have
some epic economic problems coming up because
we'll be one of the few countries us in europe
will be one of the few that has laws on this
stuff yeah and i guess my bigger problem is what's
going to happen to countries like africa in india
and china where What happens when the preference
becomes for these AI bots because of efficiency
and cost? What happens when taxes go up and the
operating costs have to be so low to make a profit
that you say, you know, you have to stick with
AI and that's it? That's the only way to run
the shop. That's the only way to run that, you
know, that cafe or anything else. They raise
taxes because so few people are working, so they
need more money from the businesses that are
there. This might be an endless cycle. And so
good news, you know, for us in the Western world,
it might not be terrible, but this is going to
get out of hand so quickly, especially if you
look at research to the field of science and
everything and data analysis. There are so many
people that are going to be gone. Oh, yeah. It's
like, why? Why would you pay a senior data analyst
like two or three hundred thousand dollars in
the tech sector? I see that all the time. Why
would I pay them? When I can lease out a quantum
computer for a week and have all my reports done,
that takes a year. Exactly. And then have it
organized by one of these guys. Because again,
keep in mind, with quantum computers, it's not
a I can do this sequentially type of operation.
It doesn't line up a thousand operations to do
one after the other. It's I can do all these
at the same time. That's what makes the quantum
computers so fucking powerful. So, yeah, that
is the dark trinity. We have the upcoming AI.
We have the improved robotics. We have the quantum
-backed computing power to run all this. They're
going to start putting this shit into the same
space and everything you just said. Call me conspiracy
theorist. Call me Alex Jones. I don't care. I
think it's going to come to pass. That's why
we have to make laws about this stuff and really
get our leaders talking about this. Yeah. Because
none of these old fuckers in Congress or the
Senate understand this crap. It doesn't affect
them. They'll be dead. They barely understand
how to use the phones that they use every day.
What do you mean? Wipe a server? Like what? Cleaning
it with a bleach? Yeah. Hillary Clinton, you
sack of shit. Fucking, no. No, no, no, no. It's
unfortunate, I hate to say it, because most of
our politicians are so old, they don't care,
it's not their problem. They'll be long gone
by the time this is any sort of consequence.
Because what's really concerning is it's not
that this is going to be a big problem in 10
years. Because sure, we're going to start to
see it. It's going to be, will your grandkids
be able to get a job? Will they be able to do
anything? Right. Or will it be UBI and everybody
just kind of lives? You know? Is that going to
be the problem? You know? This can go down a
dark road very quickly because the problem is
when you live in a world where, again, I'm very
pro -capitalism as a person, but when capitalism
is flipped to the point to where everything becomes
so expensive and taxes are so high, the only
way to be profitable is to use robotics and AI.
All of a sudden now the entire system collapses.
Yeah. And now, now, now everybody's in poverty.
Congratulations. Right. And so, and it's, I mean,
we've all seen dystopian movies that ready player
one. Yeah. That was a glorious VR movie. Yeah.
But outside of VR, the world sucked. I don't
think that's what we really want to move towards.
I, I, I do want to move towards that level of
VR. Oh yeah. I like VR. Oh, same. I will say
that with the improvements to AI and the computing
side, I think that the digital upload will become
a reality eventually. That might be the savior
of the whole thing. Yeah. So our second episode,
the digital afterlife. Uh, that actually could
come to pass as a way to get away from all of
this. Yay. All you have to do is just die and
you get away from the crap world. You can go
live in a digital fantasy. I can't wait to see
the billboards. Would you like to live? Then
you should fucking die. Oh, God, it's going to
replace the hell is real billboards down in Southern
Ohio. Hell, if you're reading this, hell is real.
Come join us in heaven. It's good. There's so
many ways my brain is going with that. What I
will say is I think the best, most realistic
idea of how that's going to go, just watch the
series upload. I'm so glad you turned me on to
that show. It was so good. But, yeah. Just look
at upload or anything else like that. That's
the way it's going to go. It might take a long
time for us to get there, but it seems inevitable.
I don't know you guys, but like, yeah, I, unless
we stop it. Yeah. Unless it's, it's stopped dead
in its tracks. I think that with the impending
arrival of the singularity, which on our discord,
I had linked. to an article from Popular Mechanics.
Now, before you get too involved in it, would
you like to explain to the listeners what a singularity
is? Let me get the actual definition, because
I don't want to misquote it. It's essentially
the merging of humanity with technology. But
you're talking true artificial intelligence,
not... Layers and layers of algorithms and everything.
You are talking the true, I guess, conception
of life on a digital level. Yes. So the singularity
is a hypothetical scenario where technological
growth, more or less in AI, becomes uncontrollable
and irreversible, leading to unforeseen and potentially
catastrophic consequences for humanity. Yes.
The merging of the biological with the technological.
Literally, we have to live as cyborgs to survive.
That is the singularity. It's possible. Yeah.
I think what's going to happen here, you're going
to have other countries like China, for example,
or Russia that are going to try to rush this.
And they're going to cause a lot of issues. I
could see that. Because that's really the name
of the game. The first country to be able to
merge AI in their military successfully. You
basically are the rulers of the roost at this
point. You kind of own everything. Yeah. If they're
able to pull that off, there's nothing they can't
achieve. That's why I truly think those drones
flying over the East Coast were just an AI test.
I could see that. That's why we weren't allowed
to shoot them down. Yeah. And also that's why
if you notice that they weren't big enough really
quite to have a pilot in them and they weren't
behaving like they're actually piloted by people.
Yeah. No. Cause that's one of the most difficult
things ever is teaching AI how to correctly fly
something, especially something that has three,
three axes like that. Yeah. Okay. Oh yeah. Um,
so the singularity it's now predicted. will arrive
sometime in 2026. That's, we got a year. Yeah.
That's fucking terrifying. A year and some change,
you know. If you want to be, if you want to be
positive, 2026 goes till, you know, December
31st. Okay. Yes. We have a year and a half. Max.
Maximum, we have a year and a half. Yeah, no.
Like, I really hope we're wrong about this stuff.
I really do. Uh -huh. I know this isn't intended
to be like a doom and gloom podcast. Like, I
know that's not our intention. But we're not
shooting to be doom and gloom and conspiracy
and anti -government, anti -life. But we're trying
to just point out things that get overlooked
by. the everyday media and stuff and it's stuff
that nobody's talking about and i don't understand
this like i i consume a lot of podcasts i listen
to a lot of stuff that's what i do like whenever
i'm on discord or hanging out playing games or
whatever if i'm not like actively talking to
people i have something going on one of my monitors
and i'm just kind of listening i see nobody talking
about this stuff they only look at it in the
positive way because they're so wrapped up in
the coolness of it Yeah, and let's be fair. This
shit is fucking awesome. If it's applied properly,
that's what worries me, that it won't be, because
I understand humanity. Also, not for nothing,
when has technology ever been issued and it's
ran absolutely perfectly with no glitches or
hiccups or problems ever? Never. God help us
the day that Microsoft releases, oh yeah, your
new home health aid robot with new AI singularity
technology. It's like, great, this thing is going
to rip my dick off. That's great. That's the
first thing it's going to do. It's going to say,
hi, sir. It will say, no, it's ma 'am. It says,
okay, then rips it off. I don't know. It's going
to do something bad. No, vice versa. Vice versa.
My files say you're ma 'am. No, it's sir. What
about now? Processing. Looks like you're a ma
'am to me. Was it Short Circuit? Need input?
Fucking love Short Circuit, man. Underrated as
hell. I love that movie. That is a classic that
I wish more people would watch that. Great family
movie. I enjoyed that. That was always a classic.
But no, what scares me even more is the idea
of having these robots and everything watching
you all the time, listening to everything, be
able to filter everything. And then eventually
you have not only no sense of privacy, but they
will video everything you ever do, listen to
everything you ever say, and all that information
can easily be accessed, categorized, filed, and
utilized for or against you. And not for nothing,
once, well, okay, so we already have AI that
can do video, the deep fakes, really well. So
what's to say somebody doesn't just start making
deep fakes of more prominent leaders, more prominent
entertainers, average everyday citizens, and
just start flooding the interwebs with all kinds
of shit? I've said this for a while. You could
do that to turn an entire country against people.
All you have to do is make an AI video of someone
like Putin doing something very illegal to like
a child or something. All of a sudden, the entire
country goes into up in flames. Yeah. And it'd
be like that. It'd be something you could make
in 10 minutes. I bet you the FBI and CIA are
already working on that. I'll tell you that one.
But that's what's scary, though, is imagine if
you cross the U .S. government and they say,
oh, we'll just release a video of you doing coke.
Right. Just, oh yeah, you're cheating on your
wife or your husband or whatever. Your career's
gone. Bye -bye. Post that everywhere. Granted,
we don't know if it hasn't been done already
before. It's very possible, but you're not using
AI. You're just using computers and everything
else and just graphics or whatever. But with
AI, it could be instantly accessible to almost
anybody and totally believable. Yeah. And like
I said, it's getting better. The Will Smith eating
spaghetti videos. I think are the new gold standard.
A few years ago, they were absolutely atrocious.
What do you mean? You can look them up. You can
look them up. They're videos of Will Smith eating
spaghetti. Years ago, obvious AI. They were terrible.
They were glitchy. The spaghetti melded with
his arms or whatever. Can I ask you what your
search history is that you searched up Will Smith
eating spaghetti AI video? Is that? You don't
want to see my search history. Well, it's the
first thing that comes up if I do Will Smith
AI. What? Yeah. So, there's a progression where
it shows like the videos have gotten better over
the years. I'm literally watching that. The newest
one, you cannot distinguish. What the fuck? The
2023 one is a fucking nightmare. Holy Jesus.
Okay, that is the stuff of nightmares. Also,
why has this not been turned into memes? Oh my
god, this is the funniest thing I've seen, though,
in terms of memes. Right. What the fuck? What?
Uh -huh. So yeah, if anybody's interested, go
look up Will Smith eating spaghetti AI video.
Because the new one, it's almost impossible to
tell that it's not really him. Feel free to link
that in the Discord, man. Yeah. It's terrifying.
The first ones? Jesus fucking Christ. That is
like... They're nightmare fuel. Yeah, I just
threw that in the general chat right now because,
dear God. Jesus Christ. I am blown away by that.
How have we not spoken about this before? I don't
know. Oh, my God. Do they have a 2025 follow
-up from that? I believe they're going to. Top
comment on that. So this is what people meant
when they say creepypasta. Yeah, pretty much.
See, I highly recommend the Discord. Watch that,
because that's... But even so, I know it's a
learning program. I get it. But we have made
so much progress in such a short amount of time.
Again, humans, we're very good at that. But boy,
is it fucking weird. Yeah. Oh, my God. So if
they can fake Will Smith eating spaghetti, they
can basically fake anything they want to be seen.
The other day I sent you a music video. We'll
go ahead and plug that. The Fafo video. Fuck
around and find out. Completely AI generated.
It's good. Yeah, it's not the absolute most fluid
and best, but it's pretty fucking good. Beefy,
muscular AI Trump. Beefy, muscular AI Vance and
Elon and Uncle Sam. It was funny. It was entertaining.
It's a funny, entertaining video, but there were
a few snippets with AI Biden, Obama, Pelosi,
Warren. Was it Soros? I believe it was Soros,
yeah. Yeah. I mean, my God, dude. It's insane.
So literally, That whole little tirade for the
past few minutes. The AI video generation capabilities
have gotten to a point where if you do not know
exactly what to look for in a video, you can
be tricked. So take it upon yourself to just
spend a few minutes learning how to look for
the flaws in videos to see what is AI generated
and what's not. Knowing that, but also I hate,
as a small government guy, I hate to ask this,
but I think we need to pressure our politicians
to make it so legally you have to disclose whether
any piece of media used AI in it. And either
it's creation or development or production, I
think that needs to be disclosed, especially
if it's video or photography. Yeah, but here's
the thing. If it's any kind of a malicious video,
they're not going to disclose it. Oh, yeah. But
then I think at least people would be able to
suss out a lot of stuff online if it had that
disclosure. Because then you could make it so
basically it's the media company's responsibility
to look that up. And if you don't look that up,
you're at fault, whatever, basically. But because
you could argue that, well, that's nobody's actual
property if that's AI. So there is a way around
it. I don't like it. Don't get me wrong. Because
you could say, oh, yeah, people should be responsible.
It's like, well, yeah, but not for nothing. You
could make enough AI videos to swing an election.
Oh, 100%. And that's it. Not only swing an election,
overthrow a small country. Oh, yeah. You could
absolutely overnight. I could do anything I wanted
to with that stuff. Yeah. I mean, you take a
small, less developed country. where they're
not going to have powerful desktops, but they're
going to have a lot of, you know, smaller devices
where it's harder to tell quality. Mmm, buddy.
Put it this way. Give me a powerful enough AI
I can overturn Sri Lanka in a week or two. Fuck
it, let's do it. For legal reasons, this is a
joke. We are not actually doing this. But now
we consider a podcast has nothing to do with
anything that happens in Sri Lanka. Absolutely
not. Legal disclaimer. We're doing no such thing.
It's all allegedly. I wish I had that sound bite
from allegedly. Yeah. But yeah, so it's yeah.
So I know I'm kind of beating a dead horse, but
like I said, it's really not that far of a stretch.
To say. You can see quantum -backed AI in robotic
bodies. I mean, like these guys right here. Where's
my hand? Right here. Terminators. These little
dudes right here. They're right there. Terminators.
Terminators. Most of us have seen the movies.
It's possible, I think, with the singularity
potentially a year and a half away. 2030, looking
kind of bleak. So you know what nobody's brought
up? What's that? Marvel movie, Captain America,
The Winter Soldier. Do you remember when they
were using that project, the idea was that they
were going to send these helicarriers up? And
start using them to kill people that could possibly
commit a crime in the future. They were using
this AI algorithm that they had Sola develop.
And that's why they were flying them all up in
the air. Do you remember that one? Vaguely. I
did like Winter Soldier. So, the whole point
of that movie was the idea that, you know, obviously...
What was the name of the bad guys that was from
the first Captain America? With the the octopus
logo Hydra thank you. I know I've been off my
Marvel game guys, but with Hydra basically they
basically Show was basically run by Hydra and
the ideas are gonna set up these hella carriers
up into the upper atmosphere and They were able
to use an AI algorithm to look at the history
the family history of every person on earth.
They identified How many people they were just
gonna kill instantly when they activated the
system that could be potential Criminals, mass
murderers, rapists, things like that. So. What
scares me. As we were looking at something like
AI with a singularity like that. Is that sort
of thing coming? So it was minority report. With
the little floaty balls. Yes. Huh. That was,
by the way, the underlying plot of the movie
that people kind of overlook because it's all
about Captain America and a soldier. So, yeah,
that's what worries me is if the singularity
comes and all that happens, are they just going
to say, Halt, citizen, you have a genetic makeup
that is similar to most criminals. Prepare yourself
for questioning and screening and yada, yada,
yada. Prepare thine anus. Or is it just going
to be Judge Dredd where it's like, I am the law.
And it just absolutely removes you from existence.
So, I don't know. Man, Judge Dredd, there's a
dystopian future that we can lean into. Oh, yeah.
Judge Dredd. I want to build the megacities.
Well, I've been looking at warehouses and just
thinking, how many apartments could be shoved
into there? retail and commerce on the bottom
apartments above. Yes, sir. I mean, you definitely
can. I think it's just not what most people want.
No, but given the current housing situation,
dude, I think you could pull it off in the current
housing situation. I saw a condemned house. That
is like 2000 square feet on a half acre lot.
They're trying to sell it for 800 ,000. Oh my
God. And let me tell you, let me tell you, I
want to use this phrase once because I mean this
once. The millennial rage that just stirred up
inside of me thinking how you could sell this
absolute pile of shit and say for the low, low
price of $700 ,000, all you have to do is fix
this up. Anything over a half million should
never be a fixer upper. Like I understand different
parts of the country are like more expensive
or less expensive or whatever, but people wonder
why people can't get a start buying a house.
It's like, well, yeah, no way. It's insane. Hopefully
that's something I maybe could help with. You
know, designing and building houses in the most
cheap and efficient way possible. Well, there
you go. You hire, The AI enabled robots to just
start building houses day and night. Which, that'd
be awesome. Yeah. Yeah. That would work. You
know what's crazy? I heard there was a company
that they're trying to build houses out of foam.
Yeah. Here's the only problem. They're only charging
half of what a regular house would be. Uh -huh.
My response, motherfucker, if this house is made
out of foam, why am I paying you half the money
of wood if it's foam? foam ain't that fucking
expensive well it's i don't know i think it's
still got a wood frame the ones that i saw they
put in rebar they basically just attach it oh
these rebar like a skeleton yeah so rebar and
foam yeah well they probably they probably use
ai to model it imagine just having ai like an
ai truck Shows up, 20 bots get out with a giant
foam spray and a rebar laying bot. And it just
fucking builds it overnight. It just, hey, there
you go. All we need is the wiring and the plumbing
and you're good. Yep. I will admit that would
be cool. Yeah. But it's got to be for a service.
There's potential for this stuff to take off
and be used positively. Oh, yeah. You can see
the use case for the good. It exists. It's there.
I guess it'll be infrastructure, infrastructure
and construction and things like that. But you'd
be putting out millions of people out of work.
Millions. Exactly. So then that revolves around
back with our other episode we had about UBI
where we discussed about that actually probably
a couple of times now. Yeah. So I know we've
got it on the board for a whole episode dedicated
to UBI. We're probably going to have to do that.
Yeah, well, we're going to have to talk about
UBI in relation to this topic as well because
it kind of changed it a little bit in regards
to robots and AI taking over jobs. They took
our jobs. They took our jobs. Everyone back in
the pile. Oh, man. Oh, God. Yeah, I think that's
why I thrive. You are merely molded by it. Give
the whole Bane speech, but just about being a
fucking weirdo. To be fair, our group is a bunch
of weirdos, though, I will admit. We are an odd
bunch. We share a brain cell. We just never know
who has it. Artisms tingle together. Oh, Christ.
Well, so to be honest, we actually flew through
the majority of this stuff a lot faster than
I thought we would. Yeah, so. We didn't need
to go as. deep into this as I was expecting us
to. Well, today's episode was a little more lax.
It was kind of nice to have it be a little more
loosey -goosey, kind of free -flowing. Yeah.
But I do encourage people to take a few minutes
and look up the stuff that we talk about because
while we do try to make jokes and make light
of a lot of this stuff, please don't underestimate
How serious of an issue a lot of this is and
how terrifying it actually could become. Especially
when it comes to like the the large language
models like your chat GPT and stuff. That's the
stuff that I really think is going to lead to
some of the biggest issues that we're going to
see technology wise. Hacker groups of state sponsored
type shit. That's where it's going to come from.
Deep seek. We didn't even touch on that. The
Chinese based AI that's putting chat GPT through
the floor. Fucking essentially started a market
crash on our end. With that having been tied
up. And initially it was censored. Because if
you tried to ask it about the Tiananmen Square
massacre, it wouldn't give you anything. It would
be like, your search results are unavailable.
That was hilarious. When that first came out,
I told my kids, do not put this thing on your
phone. It is going to the Chinese servers. Of
course. They're doing data scraping. They're
doing data collection. 100%. That single query
proved, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that that
was 100 % true. That they are tied to the Chinese
servers. Oh, yeah. And they're just hoping for
one wrong person to download it. That's what
people need to understand with this stuff, with
any of the AI stuff, any application and anything.
It's the average person owning it isn't going
to change anything. If you're just a regular
person, it doesn't mean anything to you because
really they don't want those people. You're not
the product. They're looking for somebody higher
up in the government. Security clearance, all
that stuff integrates with, you know, or interfaces
with top secret, top clearance stuff, whatever,
or has access to make decisions. They're the
people that are looking to target or get information,
anything on, anything that could lead to password
information, where they go, how they get their
information, that kind of stuff. So good news
is for us regular people, we really can't be
hurt using it. Oh, then just let your passwords
get out there out in the, out in the open, you
know, where your personal information. Right.
But they're not looking for you. No. If, if,
if they're looking for you, you probably already
had a security briefing on it. You're probably
already aware. Yeah. You've, you've already fucked
up to the point where you should just not be
using devices at that point. But, uh, no, they're,
they're looking for information that they really
don't need to have access to. Because again,
All they do is take and modify. And we've talked
on this before. Yeah, deep seek is going to be
an issue. Whatever answer comes out next to deep
seek, whether it's just another version of chat
GPT that's less expensive, runs more efficiently,
I don't know. But the cybersecurity issues. And
risks are just growing and growing every day.
I talked about this one or two episodes ago.
Keep stuff offline. More and more, just keep
your information offline as best you can. Our
world functions on the online stuff, but holy
shit. Just start getting stuff offline as much
as you can. Yeah. Especially with the quantum
-backed shit, because security is going to become
a thing of the past. I'm telling you, it's going
to be switching to all in -person stuff at some
point. You're not wrong. It's the only way. I'm
telling you, we've enjoyed the era, the golden
age of being able to buy stuff online and pay
for stuff online. Give it another four to six
years when all the stuff becomes readily available.
Every place is going to say, we can no longer
do online business. You have to come to the store.
Or it'll be so locked down, it'll just be like
blockchain. Yeah. AI -controlled blockchain at
that. Oh, then we enter the AI wars, and that's
going to be... Quantum control... Quantum AI
-controlled blockchain. Oh, God. You have to
make the purchase before you buy the product.
What am I, a fucking time traveler? What? You
have to make the purchase before you buy the
product? Jeez, what? Look up quantum entanglement.
Oh, God. So I have to then go into the future,
buy the product, go in the past, and then buy
the product. To pay for it. Yes. I fucking hate
this reality. I blame Harambe. This fucking sucks.
This timeline sucks. Fucking gorilla. The fuck.
Yes. I blame CERN. Yeah. It's all their fault.
2012. God damn it. The timeline split. So, I
guess we'll... Can we do an episode on that,
on MandelaFX? Oh, MandelaFX? Yeah, fuck yes.
The only reason I like to say that on the stream
is because the amount of times we've brought
up good topics to do and then both of us fucking
forget. I've been writing them down and I add
it to our running log. Okay, thank you. So, yes,
Pip did a good thing. Thank you. I appreciate
you picking up my slack the last few weeks. Dobby
do good. Dobby has been given a sock, but it's
all squishy and dripping with white stuff. Make
him stop. Make it stop. All right. So I guess
we'll start to close up shop here. Final thought
on this stuff, I'll leave you with this. AI systems
can generate false statements, either unintentionally
due to limitations in their data training, or
intentionally, as some AI systems have learned
to deceive in certain contexts. Let that sink
in, folks. The computers can and will now lie
to us. Fucking yay. What a time to be alive,
huh? You know, I'm going to be really pissed
in the future when I put my fucking bagel in
the toaster and it tells me to go fuck myself.
I don't know. I feel like that's inevitable.
I can't do that, Dave. Bitch, I own you. What
do you mean? Sorry, Dave, you have to lose five
more pounds before you're allowed a bagel. Fuck
you, you son of a bitch. You're right, though.
Ownership is slavery, Gibbs. If I have to ask
for consent from a fucking toaster, I'm going
to lose my goddamn shit. I'm going to lose my
mind. Are you kidding me? No. You didn't say
please, Gibbs. Yeah, don't. Yeah, that's when
you know the world has gone too far when I have
any argument with my fucking toaster at 9 a .m.
on a Sunday. Like, oh, you want consent to get
the fucking lube to Jesus? I don't know. I would
lose my mind. But the thing is, we think this
is a skit, but this might become a thing. Yeah.
Yeah. That's the worst part. It's it's literally
like on that verge of is this comedy? Is this
reality? And it's terrifying either way you go.
I hope you all realize somebody is going to make
a sentient toaster or microwave or oven. I go
back to Futurama again. Yeah. Everything in that
show is computerized, even the coffee mugs. Did
you ever play Fallout New Vegas? No, I didn't.
So there's this really funny DLC, basically,
where there is a mad scientist that made all
of the appliances in his home AI. And the toaster...
Tell me his name was Farnsworth. No, this was...
I think the DLC came out like 2013 or 2012. So
it was after a little bit of Futurama, but the
toaster just wants to watch the world burn. My
favorite one is Muggy. He's a robot that is obsessed
with collecting and cleaning coffee mugs because
the scientists always wanted a clean coffee mug.
So it's just the robot that followed you around
that was absolutely like... Almost on drugs,
like, do you have a mug for me? Where's the mug?
Can I clean it? Can I use it? Do you want to
have a mug? Oh, do you have a mug? It was weird.
But the problem becomes, God forbid, that becomes
an actual thing in your kitchen. Imagine an AI
toilet. That's going to go wrong on AI bidet.
Fucking told you, no, bitch, I ain't taking your
shit today. Just fucking scratch it with water
or something. I'm telling you, it's going to
get weird. For the ever popular, what is my purpose?
You pass butter. Oh, my God. Oh, man, we had
our third butter plate this week. The other two
of them just off themselves. Yeah. The robot
that just brings you the butter. The old butter
bot. Yeah. I had a weird thought, too. What's
going to happen, like, let's just say four or
five generations from now, when they have AI,
like, appliances they pass down from generation
to generation because it's been in the family?
Oh, because they don't break. Yeah. Because they
can fix themselves. Self -repairing appliances.
Oh, yeah. So that's going to be great, unfortunately,
unless it has an attitude. Or vice versa. Maybe
they're just... you just have a house that repairs
itself that you basically rent the house and
every, every appliance and everything can talk.
Hey, that, that goes back to where we were talking
about. You own nothing and be happy about it.
We're getting there. It's all interconnected.
Yep. Again, we, we do these episodes in no, no
real order, but they seem to interconnect and
it's terrifying. Every episode. I get a little
bit more aware of my mortality. That's wait till
you're older. I don't like that. That's not the
answer I was looking for. That does not spark
joy. No, it does not spark joy. This does not
bring warmth and happiness. Oh, man. But yeah,
I think we can go ahead and wrap it up for the
night unless you've got something else to add
in. No, nothing other than I am slightly terrified,
but like... Let's see where things go. Come on,
Singularity. Remember, there's no fate but what
we make. All I can tell people is just have a
marketable skill and have a job that you can't
be easily replaced like a robot. Like, I am happy
with mine. You cannot hire a robot to do my job.
So, mine would be tough. Mine would be tough.
It's possible. If you can replace my job with
a robot, I think most people would already be
out of work at that point. Well, you said that
they've got interferometry scanners that can
detect the problems like with your mouth. Why
couldn't that be applied to a car? True, but
it's also getting the parts and it's also talking
about. So long story short for everybody at home,
like I run an automotive shop. So like. The thing
is, like, there's also the billing process. There's,
like, how do you price things out, what parts
to use, what quality, what type. That's numbers.
AI can do numbers. Yeah, but you also have to
understand, like, what brands do better and why
and which techs prefer certain types of brands
and why and which brand kind of works better
with what brand. So it does depend. Like, sure,
technically. More numbers. Yes, but it's not
always consistent. That's the thing. And also,
if you think about shipping time. And when does
the customer want it? How long is it going to
take to install things? Like, sure, it is technically
possible, but that's far more complicated than
here's your fries. Oh, yeah. So I do feel like
that would be like, sure, it would be harder
to make a robot that's an electrician than my
job. But if you're already replacing other jobs
before mine, that's like probably a third of
the population is out of work at that point.
And we will have sorted out UBI. At that point,
it would be inevitable. It'd be required. So.
Yeah, that's really that's really me. That's
a welcome. Welcome to the world that we live
in. What a time to be alive. You know, I'm kind
of jealous of other generations that like had
stuff to look forward to. Yeah. What do we have
to look forward to? Possibly just. Dying to get
away from it all. That goes back to my previous
comment of. Oh, I can't wait to die so you can
hope to live or something like that. Uh -huh.
God. Yeah, that's great. So, yeah. I guess we'll
just push the socials and. Yeah, absolutely.
Check out the Discord. Yeah, definitely join
the Discord. Oh, hey, you know, we did get a
new dude join on the Discord. Hi. Hi, new person.
What was their name? Give him a shout out. Yeah,
it won't show me on streamer mode. Oof. Let me
see. K something. Hold on. Working on it. Working
on it. Working on it. Clotheshirt. Work faster,
damn it. Clotheshirt. Yeah. Clotheshirt. That
guy. Oh, yeah. Thank you for joining. Appreciate
it. I don't know if it's a guy or a girl, but
that person. Thank you for joining. We really
appreciate it. Hello, and thank you for joining
us. Appreciate it always. But yeah, just definitely
make sure you guys join the Discord. We do have
Instagram, Facebook, TikTok. A lot of that, by
the way, for lack of posting, is on me. Um, I
have been literally for the work and home stuff.
I've been busy from like seven in the morning
until eight or nine at night. So it's, it's just
been one of those fucking weeks. So, uh, this
week has sucked to be fair. Yeah. Yeah. This
has been, we were even, we were recording this
at a different time because my schedule for tomorrow
doesn't allow our usual recording time. Uh, don't
you love being an adult and having to adult and
do things? Gay adulting. Yay. Non -consensual
responsibilities. Woo. Yeah. But. Yeah, I wish
you guys joined those. Definitely hit us up on
those. And we do try to be active and responsive.
So. There's that. Well, it will be more going
forward because I think at work I'm actually
going to have like a they're doing some construction
to finally give me my own like like the proper
office space. So I'll actually not be like crammed
in next to someone. i have my own like physical
and i'll have i'll have two monitors at work
because let me let me tell you having three or
four at home and only having one at work makes
you feel like you're blind it's like i'm missing
an eyeball it fucking annoys me so i'll be able
to have those and i have my phone mount stand
and i have my ipad so i'll be way more i'll be
able to in between stuff be able to make posts
and do stuff and it'll be a lot easier thank
god I appreciate people having patience with
that. Yeah. All right. As always, we thank you
guys for hanging out with us. Hanging out with
us. Appreciate the love we've gotten so far.
Yeah, we're getting... Anything else, Gibbs?
Yeah, I know we're quickly on the road to 1 ,000
views. Yeah, we're getting there. that's not
bad i think the bad i think the shorts that we
that we get will help because that seems to be
the more popular method of entertainment these
days because nobody has an attention span very
very long what i wasn't listening exactly but
uh yeah shorts and stuff to come um but we did
break 700 downloads so that's cool Yeah, it's
not bad at all. I, I did not think we would hit
that anytime by this point. So thank you guys.
Seriously. We do appreciate y 'all. But yeah,
I hope you guys enjoyed the episode. Catch us
next week. I do not have the topic yet, but we'll
post it. And if we don't, then you'll see it
live. It'll be a surprise. It might be a surprise
to us. All right. You guys, thanks again for
hanging out with us and we'll catch you on the
next one. Bye. Bye.
