Transcript

00:00:53.000 That was Drake and the Weekend.
00:00:55.000 What's the name of that song?
00:00:58.000 Does it have a name?
00:00:59.000 Oh, shoot.
00:01:00.000 I left my computer in there.
00:01:02.000 I brought it.
00:01:03.000 I just left it in my office.
00:01:06.000 That was made by AI.
00:01:08.000 What the fuck?
00:01:09.000 That was not Drake and the Weekend.
00:01:14.000 It's by Ghostwriter 977 on TikTok.
00:01:16.000 It's blowing up socials and streaming platforms.
00:01:21.000 Go back up, please.
00:01:23.000 UMG, which controls around a third of the global music market, has already asked streaming platforms to ban AI, a modern Napster moment.
00:01:33.000 So they don't want you doing this.
00:01:37.000 Art has been trumped by computers.
00:01:42.000 What's that?
00:01:42.000 I saw some lawyer on the weekend on Twitter talking about how half his job now is just done by AI.
00:01:48.000 Like he tells you to write up legal documents.
00:01:50.000 He peruses them, of course, and he goes, yeah, that's really good.
00:01:54.000 Send it off.
00:01:55.000 Corporate mergers, all kinds of complex copyright law.
00:02:01.000 Handle it, AI.
00:02:02.000 He has this massive, infinite team of assistants that don't exist.
00:02:10.000 Spooky.
00:02:12.000 That's crazy, man.
00:02:13.000 Isn't that crazy, man?
00:02:15.000 That's not.
00:02:16.000 I wish AI would fucking do something about this infrastructure problem we have in America where incompetence is taking over as the dominant characteristic of virtually everything we do.
00:02:28.000 I was at Home Depot this weekend conducting my own level of incompetence, I should say.
00:02:34.000 Pretty hungover.
00:02:35.000 I was sitting around.
00:02:36.000 My wife really wanted to barbecue on the weekend, and our barbecue is shit.
00:02:41.000 It's really, really old.
00:02:42.000 We actually, when we bought the house, it was there.
00:02:45.000 It's a Weber, but it's rusted to shit, and I could only get it up to $350.
00:02:51.000 So I think, I call Maddie.
00:02:55.000 I go, can you come by with your van?
00:02:56.000 I got to go buy a grill.
00:02:58.000 I just want one that's ready because I hear they're a nightmare to put together.
00:03:02.000 And he goes, I'm in Jersey.
00:03:03.000 Farts.
00:03:04.000 So I drive down there and I look at one and it says free delivery and assembly.
00:03:10.000 Great.
00:03:11.000 So I choose a really nice one, a $600 one, a Weber, and down from $714.
00:03:18.000 And then I go there and I go, okay, I want to deliver it and assemble.
00:03:24.000 They go, okay, we could do that Thursday.
00:03:26.000 Ah, fuck.
00:03:27.000 See, if I had my shit together, I would have already looked that up and I would have booked it earlier, right?
00:03:35.000 So then they go, okay, I'll just, I'll, I'll rent one of these trucks.
00:03:40.000 There it is.
00:03:40.000 That's it.
00:03:41.000 That's my exact one.
00:03:42.000 The square?
00:03:43.000 Yeah.
00:03:44.000 I go, I'll just rent a truck.
00:03:47.000 You can rent a truck for 25 bucks there, right?
00:03:49.000 So I'll do that.
00:03:50.000 I'll drive it home.
00:03:51.000 Then I'll come back.
00:03:52.000 So then they go, the guy goes, hey, Will, you got to get one of these barbecues from the back.
00:03:59.000 They tell me to be prepared to wait 15, 20 minutes.
00:04:02.000 Well, it's right there.
00:04:03.000 I'll go get it.
00:04:05.000 And he pulls a Homer Simpson walking backwards.
00:04:09.000 No.
00:04:10.000 And they go, Will, come on, man.
00:04:11.000 Will, Will.
00:04:12.000 He was Hispanic.
00:04:13.000 The guy yelling was black.
00:04:16.000 90% of the employees were black.
00:04:17.000 This was a new Rochelle, just north of here.
00:04:20.000 And I'm just like, this is fucking brutal.
00:04:24.000 This is brutal.
00:04:29.000 So then I get the box.
00:04:30.000 I take it home.
00:04:33.000 It took, there was 31 steps to putting this fucking thing together.
00:04:39.000 And by the time I put it together, it was about 10% bigger than the box it came in.
00:04:46.000 A. B, every little piece had its own cardboard box and plastic on it.
00:04:53.000 It seemed like it was harder to put in the box than it would be just to build it.
00:04:58.000 What a nightmare.
